Who: Lana and Ema Skye (CLOSED)
Where: Room 206
When: After
this log between Ema, Lana, and Miles, assuming it finished of course.
What: Lana gets used to moving in, trying to stay calm for the benefit of her younger sister.
(
Trying to make a morbid place a little more 'homely' was not easy )
Ema gave her hair a few more rubs of the towel, then hung the towel on the door knob to the bathroom. She padded to the couch and pulled a comb out of one of the bags. Noticing her sister, she smiled. It was instinctive, really. "Any luck on the door?"

Overlooking the fact that she should be in jail and that they were in a very creepy place, anyway.
Deciding to skip on telling Ema the part about the chain looking like it was cut, Lana glanced around the dark room. "It'll take too long to try to fix it with no tools. I think it'd be easier if we just shoved something in front of it to keep it closed."

The Lana she loved was back. They were sisters again.
Ema nodded a little in agreement. Some security was better than nothing. "What we can do is wedge a pole or something in, something like this..." She walked over to the door and spread out her arms to demonstrate, touching a hand to the door and to the wall diagonal from it. "This way, if we need out in a hurry, all we need to do is remove the pole." It wasn't a complicated idea, nor was it the most secure, but it seemed better than blocking their only exit.

She was gone for a few moments before her voice was heard from the bedroom. "Ah.. here we go." She emerged with a broom, a rather ratty one, but it was a broom. Moving to stand by the door, she considered it a moment, before glancing over to Ema.
"Could you help me with this?" It was, after all, her idea.

"What happened to your hand, Lana?" she asked, taking her sister's hand in her own and examining it. The bandages seemed familiar, but Ema couldn't imagine why.
Reply
"I cut my hand. I thought I mentioned it at the trial today?"
Reply
"Trial? Today? The one where you were tried for the murder of Detective Goodman, and Mr. Wright defended you...?"
She searched her sister's face for something, anything. "Lana, that trial was over a year ago."
Reply
And then the next thing she said really confused her. "What are you talking about, Ema? It was today.. I was being brought to the station after the trial when I came over here."
Reply
Could it be possible that she honestly came to Spiral right after her trial?
What about the past year? Lana had been there... hadn't she?
Reply
"I'm sorry.." She said after she finished speaking, shaking her head. Was this some kind of joke? Was this not her sister? It had to be. She looked and talked just like her.
Lana bit her thumb as she set the lantern down, walking back to the couch. This was too much. She needed to sit down.

The statement from Ema sounded far fetched. Completely. However, it was proven that something as weird as randomly appearing in the strange world they were stuck in could only be explained with other weird statements, right?
"That.. certainly seems like an accurate deduction, Ema." Lana said quietly, mulling it over as probably the only thing that could have happened. Having the weight of Ema's hand on hers, she returned her eyes to her sister and managed another smile.
"Then I certainly have a lot to catch up on with you." At least it would be something other than their current situation to distract themselves with. "How's Europe?"
Reply
Crisis averted.
"Europe's really nice! I'm still such a tourist, though. I travel a lot, trying to see everything--what's the point in being abroad if you're not going to take advantage, right?" Ema paused, and her face seemed to show a bit of sheepishness. She smiled, a bit shyly. "It gets pretty lonely, though. I look forward to hearing from you more than anything else."
Ema was about to continue--she had a lot to share about her studies and how well they've been going--when her phone went off. The young scientist jumped, and she fumbled through the pocket of the coat in her lap, fishing out her cell.
A text message? In this place?
Ema pressed a few buttons and opened the message, and instantly wished she hadn't.
'I'm Watching You.'Matt. Matt Engarde ( ... )

If.. they ever returned home.
The sound of the text message didn't entirely confuse Lana, as she didn't know of the reception issues. However, seeing Ema's face change from happy to downright scared was alarming to Lana.
"Ema! Ema, what's wrong?!" The panic was hard to mask, the familiar feeling of wanting to protect her younger sister from whatever evils existed.

Now, the words came in a rush. "It's Matt. I met him when I first got here, and he was really nice until I wouldn't sleep with him and then he got really scary and he tried to do things to me and then he stopped but I was scared so I sent out a call for help and Mr. Wright and Mr. Edgeworth came and they helped me and Mr. Wright got hurt and I left and I came back and pretended to want to sleep with Matt so I could get close enough and then I maced him in the face and that's when Mr. Edgeworth and I left and met you and he's watching, he sent me this message, he's here somehow and he's going to kill me for hurting him, Lana. He ( ... )

The thought of someone trying to violate her sister made her very pissed off, for lack of better emotions to use, but she couldn't do anything now, especially if he was as dangerous as Ema's words implied.
"You're not alone, Ema. You have friends here, and I'm here. We won't let anything happen to you."
