. video . a few days after going into the void . hollaback med-team
[ Samantha is very clearly frustrated and physically uncomfortable by the time the camera flicks on again, she shifts on her crutches as she gets back on her mark. Then she's in a perfect shot. Standing just a few feet back, slightly offset right from the camera that catches her upper half. ]
...take one-hundred-fucking-twenty-seven... [ Exaggeration. Hopefully. ]
Look. That Lab E that everyone is trippin' about? It's literally a Door to Nothing.
Hold up, I should— [ Panic. Is she going to have to retake? ] Back up.
I'm Samantha, you've probably seen me crutchin' around. Back at home, I had weird-ass dreams about shit like that void. Figured it shouldn't even exist. Nothing shouldn't exist. It's a freakin' paradox to what my— [ rewind. ] ...to what I can do. [ bad save. ] So yeah, of course I went to check it out.
Well. I really went full body contact. Except I remember shit-nothing. 'Bout to put my hand through, then I woke up on the ground. That's about it really. And if Rey hadn't been there to pull me out— [ Adjusts to the left. ] Above forbid, right? It's not worth the risk for what it is. What it isn't...?
[ Break for intermission, guys. ]
And I guess I'm also looking for the medical team people. Like, to set up an appointment. Don't know how that works. [ She seems thrilled. ] Thanks.
[ Annnnnd... Cut. ]

What hapeened to your leg/
[Normally he's much better at spelling. Some combination of urgency and other, situational peculiarity (i.e., girl falls into void) has him spending less time on self-correction.]

tadashi wanted me to contact you guys before i went to lab E.
if he cant help me over to you then ill ask rey.
but if you do house calls thats cool. im free now too.

wait youre coming right now?
[ ...or are you already gone? Shit, she better clean up her room. ]
no subject
[He's got a walk to and from the elevator as well as two floors to go; it almost passes for enough time for her to get her space straightened out, if it needs straightening.]
→ action .
Scooping up her scarves and shoving them into top drawers. Rushing to the bathroom to pull out her braids to tighten them up. And then let them down again. Just to start again, deciding against them again halfway through. Fuck it— It's just going in a 'tail. She'll do it live.
There's even time to spare for her to go back through the wads of scarves in that drawer to pick one to wear. ]
lights cameras (also pls lmk if he's not)
Where once upon a time, he had tried to make up for his lack of officialized certifications (meaningless as they would be aboard the Tranquility) with crisp shirts, a clean shave, and other earmarks of proper appearance, he's given up on that lately. His chin is a little tufty, which makes him look fractionally older; his hair sticks up on the left side and his white coat is faintly skewed to the right, under the weight of his medicine bag. He squints at her in a way that looks vaguely exhausted, despite that his shift only began a few hours. He is a walking cantankerous doctor trope.]
So you jumped into pure blackness already equipped with a gimpy leg, is it?
[The most politically correct doctor ever, also.]
no subject
It's easier once he's in to relax. ] Two gimpy legs, actually. It wasn't as awful as I thought it would be. Still shitty though.

What can you do?

[ The flippancy might come across as rude, who knows with text, but he doesn't mean it that way. He means to put her at ease. Everyone is weird here; everything is fine. But some people are weirder than others. ]
How does that work & what has it got to do with the nonexistence of nothing?
no subject
[ That was cute. She hates you now. ]
well Nyx is all about preserving existence of things. kind of his thing. i dont think Nyx would let Nothing exist like that if he could help it. and if he couldnt then that means theres some stronger force out there than Nyx? then im super screwed.

no one will ever know
but no one will ever not know either

text
