[ the connection turns on, abruptly and out of focus. the video is turned down at the floor but then it's up, whirling around in blurs of colors from her room before settling on teresa's face. her gaze is wide and worn, she looks tired. her neck is strained as if swallowing is difficult. ]

Okay. Tell me it's not just me. I'm seeing numbers — I mean, I was — like scratched into the wall. At first I thought they were just letters, but I think they could've been Roman numerals. Fifty-six. Or something. I couldn't look at it very long, I couldn't even record it. I — ugh!

Is anyone else seeing this? It's driving me crazy, I swear they were there. Someone better not be messing with me.

[ she's trying to work this out logically (find a code), like everything else since she arrived, but she's reaching a tipping point. ]

I don't know what it means. But if you're seeing the same thing, tell me. Maybe we can work it out. It's just —

[ she holds the communicator tightly in one hand, raking her black hair back with the other as she looks off into the corner of her room. the damage is still there, reminding her. ]

Well, the good news is my room isn't a freezer anymore.

My room is definitely still a freezer. So color me jealous there.

[she exhales and then replies, a little quieter.]

I saw one too. Thought it might be a code or a message but when I tried to memorize it, my head started to pound and I got sick.

I thought it was a code, too. Could still be. But then the exact thing happened to me.

[ she rubs her creased forehead, recalling the headache. it was similar to when she used her telepathy. ]

Do you remember anything else about it? Is it still there?

Edited (gdi phone tagging) 2014-02-10 15:37 (UTC)

No, I don't remember much about it at all.

It felt, I dunno, hazy after I looked at it. I remember that I saw something, numbers, but I can't remember much else about it.

[She brushes her fingers across her forehead, brows furrowed.]

[Edgeworth frowns a bit, but his voice is matter-of-fact:]

This sort of thing is quite common. Illusions, mirages, whatever you would like to call them - we've been suffering them for a great long while. Best to ignore it.

I don't exactly have a choice now that they're gone.

[ the way he's brushing it off isn't sitting too well with teresa, but she's trying to be rational about it. (possibly failing.) ]

But they were real. I felt them.

Yes, that's common as well. Just ignore it.

Yep, there are creepy numbers popping up and out around, don't lose your marbles yet.

I'll try to remember that the next time I get the urge to wreck my wall.

Wreck away girlie, it might even be therapeutic.

When did you first notice these numbers?

It wasn't long after the jump. I never saw anything like this before.

And the temperature change, that happened after you scratched the numbers off or before?

[Hi. You don't know Luke but-...]

You found something that fixes your room too?!

[ to be fair, teresa doesn't know a lot of people. ]

Fixes? What do you mean? You think those numbers did something?

Edited (whoops formatting sorry!) 2014-02-10 19:55 (UTC)

I don't know, but my room isn't freezing anymore, either. Did you-... [he hopes this doesn't sound totally insane] ... have to destroy something?

I am seeing the same thing as well, all I know is that I don't want to though.

[Her voice is firm, as if by saying it, it will work out as she wants it.]

I am unclear as to what the numbers referred to as well, I would like to have an idea why we are seeing them.

You and me both, lady.

[ she wishes it was that simple. ]

It could be a code, or a reference to something on the ship. Like the tattoos, but … different.

So this is probably going to sound weird, but could you tell me more about this? Like does this kind of thing happen a lot in general? Have you seen or heard anything else strange since you've been here?

Since I've been here it has. Are you new?

When I first woke up here, people were seeing flickers, like invisible monsters or something. Then there was the broken thermostats, the weird mirror tricks and now this. So, yeah, I'd say this kind of thing happens a lot.

Yeah, I am. I'm trying not to be too obnoxious about it.

What's been going on with the mirrors?

How did you get the temperature to stop dropping?

I don't know. But based on what someone else told me, I think it was when I tried to get rid of the numbers.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Don't go crazy on us, T.

[you actually sounded like one of the normal people around here.]

[ T. ]

I'm not going crazy, at least not yet. I'm frustrated. Nothing make sense.

Well - okay, just keep it that way. The not-going-crazy part.

Want me to get you outta there? Sounds like a good idea, right?
