3rd Blur | Tommy Shepherd | [Video]

May 15, 2011 16:27

[Having heard something about red buttons in everyone's rooms, Tommy has made his way to Suite 11, intending to check out the room he's hardly ever in. But instead he stops in the common room, and what he sees playing on the television makes him flip on his 'berry, though he can't seem to tear his eyes away from the screen. Sure, he had gotten a ( Read more... )

[You might have noticed that Kate's been very very quiet since reset. This is because she unfortunately turned the tv on before it was destroyed. And she saw those lovely clips that Tommy is watching right now. Since then she's been kind of freaking the fuck out in private]

Turn it off.

Turn it off. Now. [Because she can hear it and she knows what it is because she saw it and....opsjdfiogjfkdm]

[The moment he hears Kate's voice, he flips the damn thing off, because right now he can't summon up the concentration to blow the thing up. He doesn't want to subject her to that, not at all. He doesn't know how much she's seen or heard, he hasn't been in her room much since reset.]

Kate? Where are you? I'll be right there.

[Voice] artemisaim May 15 2011, 22:11:58 UTC

[She saw it aaaaaall. Freaking.The.Fuck.Out.]

My room.

[He's there in less than a second, pushing open the door. He's prepared to throw his arms around her, but then he sees her face and just kind of freezes.]

You've... seen it, haven't you?

[In Person] artemisaim May 15 2011, 22:23:06 UTC

[And all he gets is a nod. Now you know why she didn't do video, Tommy. She's trying hard not to seem upset but she really really is. This place could do anything it wants to her. She can handle that. If there had been videos of her, she would have been fine. But for the videos to be of someone she cares about? That's about a thousand times worse than anything else that could have happened]

[In Person] notaspeedyhobo May 15 2011, 22:28:41 UTC

[Fuck, fuck, fuck. He hadn't wanted her to see any of this. If he had known there would be footage of him, he would have trashed the TV in suite 3 before someone else did.]

Damn it. God damn it.

[And then he's suddenly there, wrapping his arms around her, holding her close. He's practically vibrating with nervous, angry energy.] You shouldn't have had to see that.

[In Person] artemisaim May 15 2011, 22:55:29 UTC

[It's a little late for that. Thankfully, Tyki trashed the tv so she didn't have to deal with it for too long. Still, seeing it all once was bad enough. She's a little surprised when he's suddenly holding her but she doesn't fight it, wrapping her arms around him and resting her head on his shoulder]

I'm a big girl, Tommy. I can deal with it. [That's her story and she's sticking to it. Even though it's pretty clear she is NOT dealing with it. At least not very well]

[In Person] notaspeedyhobo May 15 2011, 22:59:45 UTC

[He tucks his head gently against hers and holds her tight, that fierce protectiveness obvious in his stance.]

I know you can. But not alone. I'm here, okay? None of that ever happened. It's not going to happen.

[In Person] artemisaim May 15 2011, 23:12:55 UTC

I know.

[Just because it hasn't happened, that doesn't mean it won't. The thing that worries her the most is the possibilities of the things she saw happening in the future. Like a glimpse of what the people running this place have planned. Even worse, she knows she won't be able to do anything about it. She can't help but feel guilty, even if it never happened]

I wouldn't let you be alone. Especially in this place. [Even if she's still trying to process what happened the week before last and even if she's still not sure about this...relationship she's gotten herself into, she at least knows that she couldn't stand to lose Tommy or let something so terrible happen to him]

[In Person] notaspeedyhobo May 15 2011, 23:29:18 UTC

[Tommy refuses to believe that it could ever happen. It's just these bastards trying to fuck with their heads. It has something to do with the buttons. He knows it. He smiles just slightly at her words, though there isn't much happiness in it.]

I know you wouldn't. And you know I'm not going to let you be alone either. That's what a team is for. We'll take care of each other, and Billy, and everyone else- [He's babbling by now, fast and quiet, but he just wants to try and reassure her.]

[In Person] artemisaim May 15 2011, 23:36:46 UTC

[She smiles too, though there isn't much happiness in that either. It's more like a formality, really. There's no guarantee it won't happen. There's nothing they can do about it. And that's a thought she really can't stand]

We should check on Billy soon. And there's a few other people I want to check on too. [Those buttons are a trap. She knows it. Val wouldn't just give them a way out. It's too easy]

[In Person] notaspeedyhobo May 15 2011, 23:41:00 UTC

[There are never guarantees in life. He knows that, perhaps better than anyone. But he isn't going to let those videos become reality, if for no other reason than because it would hurt Kate and Billy.]

Yeah, we should. I hope he's not buying into this button shit... I'll help you check on people.
