010 ☀ video ☀ you'll learn things you never knew you never knew

[ There is white and red and black, bone and blood and rotting flesh, when the camera first blinks on. Some fiddling, dirty fingers tapping at the lens then pulling it back reveals that the rot is not a human passenger but bovine; the cow that has been on board since Strela, effectively smashed by the jump by all appearance, but rotted already -- rotted for months, by the look of it. (For a year, its owner will tell you, and forensic analysis will back up her story.)

More fiddling, those filthy fingers and long strands of dirty golden-blonde hair (falling, from the looks of things, coming out in chunks and joining the cow on the floor of the ship) covering the lens until Jaye can look into the screen properly. Once again, she looks like a mess. It's worse, this time. Worse physically and mentally, and it's easy to tell by how she interacts with the camera, slides her thumb up over the lens and bobs her head like a bird. It's almost like she can't quite remember what she's supposed to do. ]


I heard voices, [ she starts, voice a hoarse, scratchy mess. Unlike last time she doesn't try to save it, pushes on as if she's talking to herself and her dead cow and not anyone who's listening. ] Are you back? It's been so long. I didn't mean to leave -- I couldn't get there. I was so close and just like him, just couldn't get there. The halls just kept going and then the ship screamed and I had to change before I did, too.

[ She shifts onto her haunches, rocking back and forth, not looking at the camera -- looking around instead, taking in how things look with eyes that aren't the compound eyes of an insect. One hand moves up to move some hair behind an ear and the hair simply falls down in strands, leaving a patch of bare scalp behind on her head. ] It was red again. Red and angry, so angry, the whole time. I didn't mean to do it this time, I didn't -- but I figured it out. They're the same, aren't they? Exactly the same. Trickster and hero and villain all at once. "Fear not, I will help you."

[ There's a laugh, then a sob, then both at once. ]

Don't be mad. A year isn't forty. Just-Like-Creator took the flesh and threw it over the land, and there grew the tribes of men.

[ One hand reaches for the skull of the cow, for the rot covering it, and draws. :) ]

I imagine it would. We are not meant to be awake at those times.

[she's in no shape to be talked to, maybe. a normal (sane. regular. actual.) person might give her some time before bombarding her with questions.]

How long were you? [awake, that is.]

You could not have asked for such a thing, Jaye. Nor could the vessel have any reason to be angry with you.
lordof: (waking up is nice.)

[personal profile] lordof 2013-06-08 11:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Out of curiousity, not with intent.

[quiet now, for a moment.]

..Will you be well, Jaye? Is there aid being sent?

Why do you fight? Let them help. Let them heal. It is their duty to do so, is it not?
lordof: (we'll never be a great love story.)

[personal profile] lordof 2013-06-15 04:42 pm (UTC)(link)
..Have they hurt you before?
lordof: (we'll never be a great love story.)

[personal profile] lordof 2013-06-18 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Surely those here are not the same as those from your world.
lordof: (a burning building. a broken neck.)

A healer would not be a healer if they were incompetent. You need rest, do you not? You have not slept.

There are things far more dangerous than a healer to worry about.

[personal profile] lordof 2013-07-01 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
[he raises an eyebrow off screen, but does not otherwise react to the sight.]

Then you need not worry of their danger.
lordof: (we'll never be a great love story.)

[personal profile] lordof 2013-07-06 04:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[a what.]

Have they reason to do such a thing?
lordof: (a burning building. a broken neck.)

[personal profile] lordof 2013-07-10 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
No reason to kill another?
lordof: (Default)

[personal profile] lordof 2013-07-13 10:01 pm (UTC)(link)
That is a reason. [jaye. logic and sense making. use it.] But still I do not think you are in any danger among the healers here.

[but then again he doesn't know dexter. or hannibal. or.. zoidberg.]
