Jamie?

doctoronboard January 15 2009, 01:08:30 UTC

...Hey.

aprestoi January 15 2009, 01:08:57 UTC

Jamie! I've been looking for you! Where are you?

doctoronboard January 15 2009, 01:09:41 UTC

U-up on deck two. I'll unlock the door to the clinic...

aprestoi January 15 2009, 01:11:50 UTC

I'll be there in a flash!

[She runs down the corridors and into the elevator where she hammers the button for Deck 02. When the elevator finally opens, Kristin pops out and jogs quickly down the hallway. When she speaks, her voice is tight with tension and hope.]

Jamie? Jayjay?

[His throat is tight as he steps out of the clinic, and when he sees her, he feels his heart drop. He can't do this.

He has to.]

Y-yeah. Kristin.

aprestoi January 15 2009, 01:18:16 UTC

Jamie!

[She throws herself at her brother and hugs him tightly, her throat thick. She's been so scared, so terrified, so confused and panicked and now that Jamie is here things will be alright.]

[He closes his eyes, half hoping that when he wakes up, this will all turn out to be a horrible dream.

No, this is a gift, right? He can just pretend he's still the way she remembers him.

He hugs back.]

It's... good to see you.

aprestoi January 15 2009, 01:26:30 UTC

Jamie, where the fuck are we? What's going on? There was a girl who was dead and she was a zombie! She--

[Kristin can feel tears gathering in her eyes.]

She grabbed my wrist hard and licked me and said she'd kill me.

doctoronboard January 15 2009, 01:28:16 UTC

[He swears under his breath.]

Fucking passengers.

Don't... don't worry about them.

aprestoi January 15 2009, 01:31:20 UTC

And one--one said he'd kill me, and someone else said we're being sold into slavery--

[Kristin wipes at her eyes with her fingers, trying to get herself under control again. She looks at Jamie, who's looking very doctor-ish in his white jacket, and she manages a smile.]

But you seem to be doing fine. What's going on?

doctoronboard January 15 2009, 01:32:48 UTC

[He sighs, watching her with wide, tired eyes.]

I, uh, I work here.

aprestoi January 15 2009, 01:38:13 UTC

You work on this boat?

[She doesn't know how to handle this.]

So... what's going on?

doctoronboard January 15 2009, 01:40:38 UTC

[He rubs his forehead. God, he's starting to sweat.]

A lot of things. We're going to a place called the Golden Shore. Well, you are. I mean... a lot of things happened.

I don't think it's such a good idea to talk right now.

aprestoi January 15 2009, 01:43:43 UTC

[What the hell is going on? This isn't the Jamie she knows. He's worn down and he looks like Hell. Kristin pulls back, brushing some hair from his forehead.]

Jamie...? What's going on?

doctoronboard January 15 2009, 01:45:42 UTC

[He shakes his head, flinching away from the touch.]

I... Now's not the time. I can't.
