[001: Video]

[Though she's calmed down considerably, since awakening to find herself on a spaceship (of all places), this Beauty still regards the camera in a very nervous manner. Though she manages to mostly draw her attention to the screen, she still occasionally darts a look to the left or the right, as she's expecting something to attack her at any moment.]

Haha... hahaha...

[Get used to this laughter, because you're going to hear a lot of it from here on.]

So this -- [A small pause, while she exhales.] -- this is really space?!

[She spits out the last word in wonderment, still not knowing how to grasp this concept. Her brows crease and her eyes widen in disbelief as she goes silent again, really not knowing how to follow up a question like that. Sarina just simply stares at the camera like that, for at least a few good seconds, as if the question would just answer itself.

Eventually, she breathes out through her nose, while her lips tightened at the urgent matter that's been plaguing her mind, since she awoke.]

A-anyway, I don't know how the fuck that's even possible -- eeheeheehee -- but from my understanding, none of us know. But - ah - I was wondering... has anyone seen my suit?

[She lifts one hand up, waving it excitedly as she began to describe it.] It's maybe a foot or two taller than I am -- haha -- and then probably a circumference of two or three feet wider than me. It's kind of a green-like color and it's got a lot of straps to it. Ahahaha -- but the most recognizable feature should be the tentacles - they're probably a foot round, metallic, and there's four of them.

[Looking troubled, she glances away from the screen, dropping her hand down as she continues.] I... I don't know how I'm still alive without it -- eheh -- but I need it. So please... let me know if any of you have seen it.

[ What... sort of suit requires tentacles like that and keeps someone alive? Ripley probably doesn't want an answer. ]

What support does the suit provide to keep you stabilized?

[ ... wait, just direct this person down to medical. ]

Talking to someone in medical can help you figure out what's going on without your suit here.

I'm not sure how the suit keeps me alive -- hahaha -- I was only told that I couldn't last more than a few minutes outside of it, and well? It's been far longer than that.

[The truth was that her life was actually probably not dependent on the suit at all and her body was being more or less controlled by someone with unimaginable psychic powers, but it's not like her superiors told her this. Sarina unfortunately had a habit of believing really damned gullible at important matters like that.]

I'm not sure how they would be able to help, though -- eheh -- apart from the power it gave me, I'm... not really sure why I needed it, to be honest.

[ She's no medical professional. The extent of Ripley's awareness came down to procedures and general checks. She left the fine details to the professionals, and gladly so.

This woman seems to be a bundle of nerves, from the way her speech is broken up with laughter, to how she's uncertain about her own need for something she'd said kept her alive. ]

They could do a system check up for you, see if you're all okay or showing signs of anything congenital. Physicals.

[ She offers a half smile. ]

Who doesn't love those. Can help put a mind to rest if you're worried there's something you need but aren't getting. If it's all been word of mouth...

[ Her shrug doesn't show well, not with how the camera works on this device, but she shrugs nonetheless. ]

Who told you about this time limit?

I guess it has been a while, eheh. [She shoots back a smile of her own, though it still conveyed the anxiety she was feeling over this whole situation.] I'm not sure if I trust anyone around here with my body, but - ah - maybe I don't have much choice.

As for who told me? [Her lips twitch nervously, as she really wasn't sure if she should be disclosing this information. But... if no one she knew was here, she might be okay -- or at least that's how she justified it, in her mind.] My superiors -- hahaha -- Liquid Ocelot, mostly.

There's always a choice. Not always a good one, but always some choice.or any half-way decent ones, but there's always some choice.

[ Nevermind the name, which was... unique enough. Having just been spending time with a small military unit as one of two civilian consultants, she'd expect something close to a last name, but to each their own. Superiors puts her in mind of the people she'd just been with.

Walking into Haley's Hope, no sign of the colonists, the burns through the levels inside... ]

You're part of a military outfit?

[She frowns briefly at the first statement, knowing how true that was. The memories of that fateful and horrible choice she made -- a few years back -- still constantly played over and over in her mind.] I suppose you're right. Hahaha... [She closes her eyes tightly, raising a hand to rub at her forehead, as if that would wipe the unpleasant memory away.] -- though it's rare to have any good come from those choices.

[She's actually relieved when she moves onto ask about her profession. As she responds, she peeks up from her hand.] Yes, haha. I'm part of the Beauty and the Beast Unit with three others. Though I suppose I lead the Pieuvre Armament as well.

[A brow is raised in curiosity.] Are you a soldier too?

[Well shit, this text thing is confusing her, but she'll try to figure this out. Like ten minutes later, she finally manages to type out a response.]

what kind of porn is anime mecha?

[Yes, she has to know this, okay.]

[ Wow. He's never really been asked that before. Mouse takes a while to respond do, having to go poking around the pop culture references he has scattered around his brain. ]

DOC OC TENTACLES.
TERMINATOR ROBOCOP BADDIES.
GIRLS IN FLY SPACE SUITS.

Quite. Might I ask your name?

... quite?! Eheh?

[That is not how you reply to a lengthy request! Or at least she was sure that wasn't how one should reply.]

Eeheehee... I suppose it's Laughing Beauty now, since I'm not really an Octopus right now.

Right. Ms. Beauty, then? Is that agreeable to you?

If that works for you, eheh... but who the hell are you?

My name is Miles Edgeworth. I'm a prosecutor. Now - what is this about your suit? It has some life support functionality?

fuckinghysterical - 2012-07-16 05:19 (UTC) - Expand

You seem quite amused about your predicament.

Amused? Eheh?

N-no! I'm not laughing because I think it's funny! Hahaha!

[ Hey, Crane can recognize crazy. Shit, he is. ]

Then why are you laughing?

[She exhales loudly in frustration, trying to quickly think of a way to explain it that didn't involve admitting that she had a fucked up form of PTSD.]

I do all the time! It's - uh... eheheh... it's a nervous habit!

Well, there's no harm in that--we're all prone to our own quirks.

Yeah, eheh... mine's just a little more odd than the others.

[Not liking to draw more attention to her laughing than necessary, she quickly adds:] So I don't suppose you've seen my suit?
