D-Derek? Alex? S-Sollux?

Sh-Shepard?

Is... is something wrong? Something... d-doesn't quite f-feel right...

[There's a pause. If you pay close attention, light, panicked breathing can be heard.]

Is everyone all right?

[Then, there's a longer, heavier pause here.]

T-Talia?

[No, she has no idea Talia's back, and awake, and projecting, but she' ( Read more... )

Chloe! The hell is going on?

[audio] ghostly_stutter September 2 2011, 18:53:11 UTC

[A sigh of relief can be heard.]

S-so... you aren't hurt then? Or in danger?

Do you... do you feel it, too?

[audio] xenoshepherd September 6 2011, 21:36:08 UTC

I'm completely fine, but I don't know what's happening, so you need to describe what it is to me, okay?

[audio] ghostly_stutter September 7 2011, 03:17:41 UTC

[A stuttered breath of air leaves Chloe's lungs, then she inhales deeply, trying to find her center of calm.]

I--I-I don't know. What it is.

Something's wrong. I--I can feel it. B-but if you can't, then... m-maybe it's not real. Or not...

[Not about the living, in any case.]

It--it feels like someone is hurt, or in danger. Like something bad happened. S-sounds crazy, but...

[audio] xenoshepherd September 7 2011, 03:22:41 UTC

I'm not a biotic-- sorry, lingo from my world -- not someone who's. . . sensitive to the kind of stuff you say you're experiencing. That does not make it any less real for you.

Give me your location and I can come around. Are you physically hurt?

[audio] ghostly_stutter September 7 2011, 03:31:39 UTC

[An exhaled sigh can be heard, partly from relief, partly from embarrassment at her panic and the possibility she could be making something out of nothing.]

I--I'm in my room. Room 2119.

I--I'm not hurt.

[Better safe than sorry, and Chloe isn't stealing her away from the most invigorating of patrols. A little hustle and bustle and there's Shepard, pounding a fist on 2119.]

Chloe, open up?

[commentlog] ghostly_stutter September 7 2011, 03:48:54 UTC

[Chloe rises from her seated position at her desk. She was trying not to cower and huddle in a freaked out pile on her bed, thank you.]

I--It's open.

[She moves to open the door anyway, offering Shepard a bit of a trembling smile when she sees her. It was a big comfort, not being alone and having someone look in on her.]

Come in. There are apples, if you're hungry.

[commentlog] xenoshepherd September 7 2011, 04:08:20 UTC

[She shuffles in without further ado, taking care not to jostle the smaller girl. A bump in her hardsuit is like a crass shove to unarmored civilians.]

Apples? Fine by me.

[And sure enough, one of them disappears into the palm of her hand.]

Care for some company?

[That's tactful Paragon-speak for, "Want me to cover your ass?"]

[commentlog] ghostly_stutter September 7 2011, 18:12:05 UTC

[Chloe stands aside to allow Shepard room, finding it reassuring that she is slightly able to breathe better with the other woman present.]

S-sure. Thanks.

[Chloe doesn't know why she's freaking out, or feels the way she does, but she winces and brings a hand up to rub at her temple for a moment before gesturing for the Commander to have a seat at the desk chair or Chloe's made bed.]

Make yourself comfortable. I-I'm hoping whatever this is, it passes.

[It was a very strong wish, anyway, but Chloe didn't know how much she believed whatever it was would go away just like that.]
