Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out, Log 4/??? [Action] + [Audio]

Aug 20, 2011 15:05

Waking up in the dark is normal. The curtains are usually drawn, the lights are out. It's only logical that opening your eyes and seeing positively nothing is a natural occurence if you're a typical human being and sleep without a lamp on.

Waking up blind is abnormal.

Waking up blind and feeling the ground humming beneath your bare feet like the leftover rumbles of an old flivver is terrifying.

It takes her all of five minutes to get dressed and move into the hallway outside her room, barefoot, the rug under her toes stifling the vibrations from the floorboards. Footsteps. Evelyn can't tell whether they're on the floor above or below her. The air is thick with the heavy scent of something mechnical, maybe industrial waste, and the acrid smell of a paper mill.

Fumbling along the wall as she takes careful, hesitant steps, Evie forgoes her Feminist mindset long enough to pull out her radio with shaking hands.

"H-Hello? If anyone's...in the...in the vicinity, I...I'm having a bit of trouble, and I don't know what to do."
