ataraxion | 001 ♗ video

[ 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. ]

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

ship this size with a skeleton crew, I'm guessing we're going to need to do some work don't know what that work would be, though. never been in space before

I'm not thinking many have. [ or even actually are. but she isn't about to add that part yet. ]

Have you come across anyone - besides those two supposed crew members, that have any ideas?

no. all clueless or worrying about other shit. blind leading the fucking blind.

Someone needs to step up and take charge of things on our end. They can't expect us to just sit here and accept this. At least if we all work together, something might get accomplished, don't you think?

don't know about that. seems like someone trying to take charge right now might be just as lost as us. accomplish _what_ though?

well we have to consider all the possibilities here. sitting around and waiting for the answers to just appear, it won’t get us very far. we need to know what they want with us.

[ clearly ariadne is far too paranoid about this. and her assuming she is just in a dream of someone now - well, that isn't helping anyone. ]

putting someone in charge isn't considering all the possibilities. it's limiting. 'they' if you're talking about the crew, they don't want anything. we're accidents.

Perhaps. I'm just trying to come up with some options is all? And as much as I would like to believe the crew, it's slightly hard, when they appear to be the only ones that truly belong on this ship.

just saying. don't be disappointed if people don't take your options. which makes us strangers & invaders. they're probably as suspicious of us as you are of them.

I'll keep it in mind - thanks. Or perhaps they know more then they are letting on is all. I'm just saying, all of this seems a bit too odd. So obviously I'm going to be suspicious till proven otherwise.

just don't wait too long for that proof. if helping them is our quickest way off of this thing, you could be shooting yourself in the foot.

[ there is obvious logic in what tyke is saying, and in most cases, ariadne would obviously be taking it all into consideration. but sadly, this, well, it has her still under the impressing it's all a dream - a bad one at that - and drawing attention to it fully might not be the wisest of things. ]

I would just hope they are willing to help us as well. Instead of just telling us what not to do, and being vague on things.

like I said: they're suspicious of us too. load of strangers land on your spaceship, you're not just going to let them have the run of it straight out. who would?

No I see what you are saying. I agree with you there. Seems odd all of it is all.

[ it's a damn dream, that is what it is. but trying to explain that might be too much of a risk, right? ]

I'm Ariadne by the way.

yeah, it's all odd. and I'm not saying they're 100% _not_ hiding anything. just don't think automatically blaming them is going to help. tyke.

Guess you're right. Hiding or not, everything will come out in the end, just a matter of waiting. It’s nice meeting you - given the circumstances of course. You been able to find anything out yet? [ she is always going to ask, sorry. she hates not knowing what is going on. ]

waiting or hunting it out.

[Taylor's pretty terrible at telling people things like it's nice to meet them, so she just neatly skips over that part.]

no more than anyone else sorry

[ she doesn't mind the greeting in return. she is use to the aloof type. ]

Do you remember anything that might give you some idea to why you're here?

no. I thought it was another mission. but none of my team are here, just a girl from another team.

[ another team? dream-sharing? Okay, her mind is now wandering on the possibilities with that. ]

What exactly do you do?

I'm a student. but our academy is for girls with pathoses. and we get sent out to help with things

[ okay that apparently is a new school. which helps rule out other dream-share teams. which is a good thing. ]

Can't say I've heard of any school like that. I'm actually majoring in architecture in Paris myself.

[ not that she needed to know that, but it was out there now. ]

What type of missions exactly are you partaking in?

nice city to do it in.

[She's been to Paris, once or twice, though she didn't really get much of a chance to have a proper look around.]

anything. fighting overpowered nutcases, stopping terrorist attacks, sabotaging stuff, rescuing people after natural disasters, getting cats down from trees.

It is very much so. [ and she misses it more then she can say. ]

So like a super spy, CIA, FBI or Bond types. Can't say I've ever met anyone like that.
