Quest 234

Nov 19, 2010 18:36

[Accidental Video Post]

[It's just a bit past noon when the video flickers on--then off--then on again, wobbling in and out of darkness before finally bringing into focus the sight of a train compartment, and a slightly rumpled-looking girl sitting on the soft blue cushions, gazing intently out the window. Her own silence makes the noises of the ( Read more... )

Fucking trains.

primrosella November 20 2010, 01:20:28 UTC

I beg your pardon?

fatespoken November 20 2010, 01:26:46 UTC

Nevermind. [ A pause. ] You've been here long enough. Things have always have their end here. Besides the City itself.

It is a train, right?

primrosella November 20 2010, 01:41:21 UTC

It is, yes. Or at least, it seems to be a train--and an underground one, at that. You're not on it yourself, are you, Amory?

fatespoken November 20 2010, 01:57:12 UTC

No. I'm not.

primrosella November 20 2010, 01:57:49 UTC

Well, that's something, at least. Can you hear me all right?

fatespoken November 20 2010, 02:10:06 UTC

Decently enough.

[ Another strain of static here. ]

I'd suggest not wandering around. You'll never know when it could crash.

primrosella November 20 2010, 02:11:50 UTC

[...Amory, you're a dick. Because she really needed one more terrifying possibility to think about right now.]

Crash?!

fatespoken November 20 2010, 02:18:52 UTC

[ ... Well, he wasn't intending to be a dick. It was a honest warning. He tried, at least. ]

In the case it does. I'm not saying it will.

primrosella November 20 2010, 02:23:28 UTC

[Well, he couldn't possibly have known that she's terrified of machines. Bad enough she thinks they're all harbingers of doom, without having the possibility that they're also speeding deathtraps on top of it.]

How will staying put make it any better if it does?

fatespoken November 20 2010, 07:15:42 UTC

You'll potentially be in a less dangerous position, if it does crash. On your feet, you have less balance; more room and chance to crash into objects around you.

Don't think about it.

primrosella November 20 2010, 07:23:20 UTC

Well, it's a bit easier said than done now.

fatespoken November 20 2010, 07:25:46 UTC

I'm sure you can find something else to distract you.

primrosella November 20 2010, 07:28:44 UTC

I wish I at least had a book to read. But I ended up here by mistake, and without any of my usual things, besides.

fatespoken November 20 2010, 07:34:54 UTC

Tough it out.

primrosella November 20 2010, 07:42:59 UTC

[SIGH. So sigh-like that you can hardly even tell it's through gritted teeth.]

At least the other times I had proper pockets.
