[Hayley isn't really big on the network. When the random interactions you have with people tends to circle around to how someone "warned them" about you, it becomes a near survival instinct to avoid running into complete strangers or allowing yourself to be easily recognized simply for that sort of association.

Opting for text - even if it attaches her floor and number to it - feels a bit safer.]


did anyone take a count of the ones that didn't wake up during that jump and then figure out if anyone still didn't make it out? not just didn't wake up, but ones that were just gone.

it's not like we take a headcount each jump. unless we do and I've been missing it each time.

what if that was the first jump for someone? brand new to the ship and a month in the tube before they even realize they've been taken.

[There's a while before she sends one final comment.]

Is this just going to be something I shouldn't be worrying about?

It happens.
Almost everyone wakes up.

[ is this meant to be comforting maybe???? ]

[consequence]

almost is not the most reassuring term to use when talking about people waking up from floating in blue goo

[altercate]

More honest than saying "always"

[consequence]

point taken. I just don't understand the point of it all. there has to be a point, right?

[altercate]

There isn't always a point.
Even if you think there should be.

so you think we're here for no reason at all?

[Oh, while she has you here...]

did you see that thing about shaving a werewolf?

it's a possibility, but tracking who appears, disappears, and stays behind with each jump would be impossible without implementing a tracking system.

[ which would be more complex and more trouble than it might be worth in the scheme of things when those resources go elsewhere. ]

if someone new arrived and was placed in stasis last jump, i doubt it would make much of a difference. i'm not sure if that's comforting or incredibly disturbing.

I think people should stop over-analyzing this place.

Yes. Why?

[consequence]

sometimes over analyzing things is a coping mechanism.

I dont think she knows anything about werewolves - and she's fishing for information. at the very least shes getting a clearer idea about how many are here

people who werent asleep last time have gone this time
it doesnt connect like that

text || forever

[consequence]

what do you mean? people who were awake have left, but all the people that were asleep stuck around?

text || forever

[consequence]

does anyone know what even happens to you when you don't wake up from a jump? maybe it has long-term physical effects.

[doggedly]

i mean i had a friend who was awake
and then this time he was gone
people who were sleeping woke up

theres no connections like youre thinking its not all logic

[consequence]

i wasn't looking for a connection, I just wanted to know if anyone left and no one ever saw them. if that was their first jump and they didnt wake up. and then it was the next jump and they were gone.

I'm overthinking it, but it's on my mind, so I can't not think about it.

not here.

[iceboxed]

[but holy crap why are you two talking this is weird]

[consequence]

[They are practically besties. Only not at all and he probably only keeps tabs on her because he knows her entire life...]

[blabbers]

nausea, dizziness, muscle tissue lost - that much is just a guess. i wouldn't eliminate craziness as a side effect, either, but most of us don't want to find out.

but from what i've seen, most people come out of their pods without any side effects after being frozen in stasis.

[doggedly]

think people always wake up from their first jump. its the later ones you have to worry about


worried you wont wake up?

text || private

[consequence]

I don't know if I'd call it worry. there are just certain things that make me uneasy about being in there for a month.

[consequence]

you dont think the other problems that we have on board - the weird sleep issues mostly - arent related to the jump?

[blabbers]

assuming they aren't related helps me sleep better at night.

[ if only wryness could bleed out into text. ]

they could be, but the paranoia running rampant on this ship probably only adds to the insomnia problem.

text || private

[doggedly]

i think by definition that qualifies as worrying


uneasy you wont make it back?

[She doesn't just tell people these things. It's not like magic, where he can just tell people he can make things float or offer flying brooms. That's simple and ...well, magical. What she has is horrible and violent. People on this ship have been warned against her.]

can i trust you with something?

text || private

[doggedly]

thats for you to say isnt it
but yeah

go on

text || private

[consequence]

no I get that. this would be easier if you had seen memories of mine already.

that girl asking about werewolves for idiotic reasons - I have a reason to be concerned about people looking into werewolves and if i am in those tubes for thirty days - one of those days will be a big problem for me.
