[ 4:58am. The video begins. All there is to see is black. And what there is to hear is only a mess of extreme sobbing for eight whole seconds. The low buzz of her electrical prod provides ambiance for whatever short moment Cibo gasps for air. The whole event practically sounds like torture It must have shocked the device and activated the transmission in the first place — which it apparently does again on the ninth second, ending the feed.

There is nothing posted publicly afterward, save for a short texts a few minutes later. ]

[Text → AM]
Again. Worse.

[Text → Scout]
May I come over soon?

[Text → Murphy]
If awake, please meet me.


[ ooc: Depending on when your character replies will determine how upset Cibo will be. She'll head to the showers to calm herself down for a while. Once she returns, she'll be more comfortable to voice or video.
(Would most likely switch from her perma-text replies if asked.)
((Note: Edited in a time. Hope that doesn't mess anyone up!))

Miss Cibo?

video.

[ the comm units jolts at first as soysauce scrambles to hit 'record' as quickly as possible. so rushed that the message records him halfway through a word, his voice clearly alarmed. ]

-- iss Cibo! What's going on -- are you hurt?

[yardbird]

On my way.

[Oh. These are rather pleasant sounds. Even though the text message wakes him up and he's a little miffed about it at first, it's worth it.

Cibo's night terrors are indeed real. Not just mere nightmares, but full-on horrors. And he's vastly intrigued.]

Ah I'm terribly sorry. Are you all right?

Voice

[still_alive]

My. That sounds... painful.

[Cue another intrigued AI.]

[watashinonamaewa]

Yes, Frodo. I am here.

[watashinonamaewa]

My shoulder is sore, but I do not think that I was physically harmed. I am sorry if you were startled.

Perma-Text |

[watashinonamaewa]

Thank you.

[ringbearer]

But are you alright? Those sounds..

[dashhole]

[Shuffling, snuffling, kind of a grunt.]

Yeah, nah,it's-- it's cool. Nah. I was...y'know...I was gonna get up soon anyway.

[Then he buries his face in the pillow and yawns loudly.]

Time's it? [He probably meant "What time is it?" but, well. If he has to ask, it's too early.]

Perma-Text |

[watashinonamaewa]

My shoulder is in pain. It is difficult to explain. I was confused of where I was. My mind would not realize that my body was awake.

Perma-Text |

[watashinonamaewa]

The experience was not physically painful. It was frightening. Though, I woke up with extreme pain.

[yardbird]

[Some time later:]

Where are you?

[Right, probably shouldn't have just assumed she'd be in her room, duh.]

[watashinonamaewa]

I am better now. I am sorry.

Perma-Text |

[watashinonamaewa]

I am here. I should not use my voice right now. Is that okay?

Audio |

[watashinonamaewa]

[ Her voice is messed up but she's infinitely more comfortable hearing Scout's voice. Pain surging through into her voice as it struggles dryly. She sounds ready to snap into a sob again. It winds up being more of a whisper in order for her to remain tempered. ]

Around five. I'm sorry for bothering you. I woul— [ The word chokes out. Small pause to wet her throat. ] I want to be with you once I'm calm. Please?

[watashinonamaewa]

Shao-oars.

[ Close enough. ]

Audio |

[dashhole]

No, it's cool. I'll leave the door unlocked. [Actually, no, he's going to fall asleep again, but he'll be around to unlock it when you come by.

Sorry, girl, 5 AM's a little too early for him.]

Audio |

[watashinonamaewa]

I'm going to shower first. I'll come after. [ Another pause. She sounds calmer than moments ago. ] Thank you, Scout.

[learnedtosmile]

Yes. Are you all right? It sounded like you were in pain. Did someone hurt you? [Okay so maybe he's a little worried after that Francis kid was spouting off about robots the other day.]

[watashinonamaewa]

I am in pain, but no one was here.

Audio |

[dashhole]

Mm-hm. [He's half asleep already. She might be able to tell.]

Perma-text

[godofthemachine]

My dear Cibo, do you need some company?

[Spoilers: it's actually just a ruse to find out more details and to hear her voice in pain. AM don't you have anything better to do.]

[watashinonamaewa]

[ There's a minute - a pause - before AM receives the next message. ]

I am going to meet Murphy. If you want, I will wait. Please hurry. I do not feel well.
