[ Hey Ataraxion, have one obviously annoyed, slightly frustrated, small brunette currently looking into what she assumes is the camera of the device in front of her. She’s only been here for a couple of hours, and already she thinks this is some convoluted dream – she just hasn’t figured out whose yet.

Brow furrowed, she lets out a long sigh, rubbing at the back of her neck before finally speaking to the screen. ]  So it seems I'm not alone here. [ Which is a good thing, right? (or so she hopes) ] Yet none of you seem to have any real answers.

[ It’s not annoyance in her voice then, more sympathetic perhaps. (She feels your frustrations, okay?)  A small smile ghosts across her face, taking on an almost hopeful expression. ]

Is there a way we could all work together - start ruling out some possibilities maybe?

At least maybe get an idea as to why we were the ones taken. [Quickly adding: ] Is there something significant about you others would find beneficial – anything that may be important?

[ She pauses, attention turning away from the device, and the faint sound of metal hitting the table can be heard. (She tests her totem yet again, still unsatisfied with the results.) Her attention drifts back to the screen, as she clearly is fighting back the panic and uncertainty before she mumbles. ]

Dreams feel real when you're in them...

[ Not that the rest of the people here would understand that. But she needs to keep reminding herself this fact. ]

Well, us all working together was my first idea.

[constructum]

Well I'm glad we're on the same page then. [ a small appreciative smile appears on her face then. ] Do you have an idea why you were taken?

[statsraaden]

None. It would look like it was accidental for everyone, at least according to the crew.

This can't be a dream. I don't dream.

[ seriously, why would someone take a kid? she smiles almost nervously then, slowly nodding at her words. ] Everyone dreams, you just might not realize it.

[ kindly: ] You don't remember any of your dreams?

[video]

[bearsthevision.livejournal.com]

No. [ Stone faced and adamant ] I don't dream.

[ Would it be wise to tell her she instead had visions of a writer creating the comic book and concept albums chase is a part of? ....Yeah, let's not freak everyone out. ]

[circumitus]

Not significant, beneficial, or important. So, no.

[Nothing that she's aware of, in any case.]

I don't think this is a dream, either.

[video]

[constructum]

You never know - it's a possibility. [ they want you to think this isn't a dream after all, right?

a look, scratching at the back of her neck in thought. there has to be something, you just need to think about it, right? ]

What do you do back home?

[video]

[circumitus]

Maybe.

[She pauses at the question. After all, it isn't just the past few days that are fuzzy in her head -- she woke up to a total blackout. Rather than wracking her brains trying to figure it out, she's been trying to distract herself, more than anything.

[She tilts her head, thinks for a moment. It's not a reality she's willing to share until she knows she can trust any of these people.]

...nothing. I didn't do anything.

way it's looking, having two working hands is beneficial around here

[constructum]

As apposed to having none? Have you figured out what they expect us to be doing here?

[goingsilent.livejournal.com]

You think it's intentional and not just some freak accident?

[ text ]

[constructum]

Is there any other possible reason?

[ sure it may be cocky to assume she was worth taking. but, she was slowly starting to realize just what lengths people were willing to go to in order to gain power/wealth/whatever. so taking a handful of people, and sticking them in a ship (in a dream?) well, it only seemed natural that these people wanted something with them. ]

[Here, have a robotic voice.]

My kind do not dream. But that's... not really sayin' much.

[constructum]

[ robot voice...huh. she’s is just going to assume he is part of the ship now. :/ ]

And what kind are you exactly?

[explorable.livejournal.com]

[ Peering with vague awe at the camera. ]

You think this might be a dream?

[ the woman's expression just seems to cause ariadne to sigh slightly, giving her a small ghost of a smile, as she just nods faintly to the question. clearly ariadne is still set on this all being a dream, just how to convince others, that was the true question. ]

Yeah, I can't see any other option. None of this makes any sense, and it's far more surreal then anything i've ever come across.

You can't tell me; this doesn't seem the least bit odd to you.

[in-three.livejournal.com]

We have answers, just none for the question of how the hell we got here.

voice;

[constructum]

Answers that are of any use though? There's a difference in just answers and the truth after all.

[ text ]

[starked]

you're assuming we're all big team players though.

if you want answers, you can feel free to ask the questions, but considering you think you're dreaming, something tells me you're not going to.

[ text ]

[constructum]

[ can eye rolls translate into texts? cause obviously she just rolled her at this. ]

yes, obviously i assume we all will work together to figure things out.

are you saying; you don't think this is some twisted dream?

it's only when we wake up that we realize something was actually strange. right?

it's arthur.

[of-two.livejournal.com]

What is it about your person that is significant?

voice;

[constructum]

[ someone turning the question around on her - impressive. ]

I'm an architect. [ we just wont be saying of what exactly. at least she isn't full-out lying. ]

You?
