3 ~ By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes.
[Arkady crawls into view and immediately two things are evident, she's very confused and she's soaking wet. She sits cross-legged and for a moment, just... stares at the camera before blinking and looking around the room she's in.]
I think I forgot... I mean, I don't remember why I'm here. I hope this isn't your place, if it is, I'm very sorry. [She looks down.] I think I used your bath in my clothes. I can't remember why... But there aren't any towels, so I'm dripping.
I think I was, no... oh! I remember. The assignment things for the tokens. I'm not really a writer, Connor's the one that likes to write things down, but I guess I can talk. [Her head tilts.] Talking's okay, right? Lots of people have been talking. [Head scratch.] Guess I just... talk?
See, everything grows. Feathers, my chikkin, was once just a little fuzzy thing. I can't remember the name for the little ones, but it was small. I remember seeing pictures in books. But she grew up and now she's bigger. I was smaller when I was little and I grew up, so did the others, we all grew up together - like each other, but still different. Puppies become doggies, and baby lions get to be big lions. We change, too. We get stronger and we can do more things.
Power grows, too. When you discover you can do one thing you start to use it and the more you use it the bigger it grows. Bigger and bigger and bigger... [Her eyes drift closed and voice gets a little distant, like she's drifting away.] You can go so wide that everything looks small, like a toy you can toss around. And you get so strong you can just break it.
[Her eyes snap open and she's staring right at the camera.] There's a voice in my head that isn't mine.
[She blinks and shakes her head, the comment already forgotten.] Where was I? Oh, right, growing. Well, everything grows. Even if you don't want it to.
[She gives a beaming smile to the camera.] And I guess that was it.
[The feed ends without her touching the device.]
[ooc: Why must notifs be borked when I have to post? I'll reply to everything, I promise. Here's Arkady, being very Arkady... or is she?]
