Jul 03, 2010 02:43

[Lamb is sitting at her desk, as per usual. For anybody curious, yes, her left arm is still in a sling. Give it another week or so. Anyway, she's been making notes, doing research and is now curious about a thing or two ( Read more... )

[Almost as soon as the words the Operator pass her lips, Alex slams his hand down on the button to open the feed. He's in too much haste to even lock it.]

No. NO. Do not ask for him. Just don't!

[He looks like he's seen a ghost, and he sounds like a parent who's just caught their kid with a spoon and a big bowl of antifreeze.]

[VIDEO] echo_of_utopia July 3 2010, 01:02:31 UTC

I... am afraid I just did.

[She frowns, her tone suggesting half apology, half what the fuck.]

Alex, are you-

[...no, never mind, he is obviously not all right, although she has no idea why, all she did was search for-

...

...

Oh.]

[VIDEO] 40410 July 3 2010, 01:09:22 UTC

Did he see you?

[His mind is full of oshitoshitoshit - what if it's after her now, what if he's brought this whole thing down on her head--

He leans towards the screen, his fingers twisting together.]

Do you - do you remember if he saw you?

[VIDEO // PRIVATE] echo_of_utopia July 3 2010, 01:23:30 UTC

Alex, I have set the transmission to private now.

[She hopes this will calm him down a little, although she somewhat doubts it. Okay, time to explain.]

I caught a video of Markus a few days ago. He seemed-

[No, never mind, she's not even going to try and describe that.]

He said somebody was coming, that somebody owned him. I was trying to talk to him, but I could hardly get a word out of him. I caught the name Operator, so I...

[She trails off. She doesn't love to ask, exactly, but she has to make sure.]

This is the man who's been following you, isn't it?

I think I...encountered him once, but I don't know for sure.

[VIDEO] echo_of_utopia July 3 2010, 01:24:53 UTC

The Operator? Can you tell me anything about him?

[VIDEO] hurricanebomber July 3 2010, 01:29:34 UTC

Not a lot other than that he's fucking creepy as fuck. [Gokudera isn't easily shaken and he sounds creeped out, even days after the fact.]

[VIDEO] echo_of_utopia July 3 2010, 11:58:17 UTC

[She doesn't know Gokudera well enough to be troubled by his behaviour alone, but if one encounter you're not even sure of can leave you with an impression of 'fucking creepy as fuck'...]

What does he look like, do you remember?

[Not the most spectacular question, but it's a place to start.]

The Operator?

Like...the person you get on a phone, when you dial O?

echo_of_utopia July 3 2010, 13:35:36 UTC

Just like that, yes.

exploring_game July 3 2010, 18:00:12 UTC

I don't know if there's anybody like that here.

echo_of_utopia July 4 2010, 21:13:58 UTC

It may just be somebody's nickname. I was merely curious, but I suppose it's not very important after all.

jesusing_clown July 3 2010, 12:12:17 UTC

I'm sorry, I haven't seen them. I could have Tim look for them, if you like.

echo_of_utopia July 3 2010, 13:11:03 UTC

Tim?

[Wasn't that Alex's strange friend? Why would Allen order that guy to look for anybody?]

jesusing_clown July 3 2010, 13:15:04 UTC

Timcampy, my golem. He's what I'm talking to you on, and Tim also works as a tracking device. What are you looking for these people for? [-Wait, the message changed.] Oh, are you not looking for that... Operator, anymore?

echo_of_utopia July 3 2010, 13:49:13 UTC

Oh, I see. [Lamb nods with relief. That's one weird connection out of the way. She's handwaving the term 'golem' for now.] Thank you, Allen, I really appreciate your help.

As far as Jim is concerned- I trust you are aware of Mister Sinclair's science experiments? He is using materials from our world, substances that should not go unmonitored. Since Jim was a volunteer I wanted to make sure he is all right, but I have not been able to find or contact him for a while.

[She looks aside, uneasy.]

No, I am not looking for the Operator anymore.

He hasn't been anywhere near the library. I think he's gone.

echo_of_utopia July 4 2010, 21:12:09 UTC

Gone? So people can leave?

[She doesn't have a good answer to this yet. She's heard claims that there is an exit and she's heard firm denials.]

haruhifujioka July 5 2010, 02:29:35 UTC

No. They do, but we can't leave on our own.

echo_of_utopia July 5 2010, 11:59:27 UTC

Then how?
