005 - Accidental Video

May 25, 2011 23:16

[Juliet is pacing slowly up and down along a wall. She's bumped the PCD, which she'd set on a little table, and so it gets a good view of her retreating backside as she walks the length of the wall. She turns, and drifts back the way she'd come. In her arms, tucked against her chest, she cradles Bubbles' stuffed octopus. Dark circles show under ( Read more... )

event: zombies, she's not all here right now, sort of mourning, feeling guilty and upset

Child, you are frightened. I will come to sit with you if you wish.

[Juliet blinks and looks at the PCD, shaken from her pacing at the sound of a friend's voice.]

M-majesty. You are quite kind.

Have I not said it before? We must come together, here. I will be at your home shortly.

I am not at home, Majesty. Lord Duroc has brought me and my cousin to a safe-house, the one Sokka spoke of through the machines.

[And then she realizes that means the Queen will be traveling through the streets.]

Majesty, forgive me, but you cannot go out of doors! It is not safe! Have you any sort of escort to see you safely from one place to another? I would not have you risk yourself.

[Video] ditto disclaimer for notifs buntails May 26 2011, 03:43:38 UTC

Listen. Juliet. I'll make sure Bubbles is OK, alright? So don't... don't be scared.

[Usagi! She shakes herself and rushes to the PCD, snatching it up.]

Usagi, is she with you? Did she make it to the clinic? She sounded so weak this morning. Can you - can you truly heal her? A woman at the clinic said there was nothing to be done for those with this illness.

[Video] buntails May 26 2011, 10:14:12 UTC

I can. I can definitely do it. Please, believe me in that.

[There's no teasing or joking, no ditzy silliness.]

I will definitely save her, and as many people as I can.

[The determination in her voice is incredible. And it is very different from the reactions of others thus far. It does almost as much to help as the words themselves.]

I will try very hard to believe you. I want so desperately to. This illness is so strange. I've seen nothing like it before.

[She looks up at the sound of another familiar voice.]

Spike. You are safe?

[Because she needs the people she cares for to be safe.]

[This startles her.]

You have? These creatures are something common in your time? What madness befalls the world in future?

I am safe. I am with my cousin at Sokka's. I worry for everyone else. You - you saw what befell Bubbles, did you not?

Juliet...

[She trails off, at a loss. Asking what's wrong or if she's okay will be pointless. Right now everything is wrong and nothing is okay.]

[video] capuletnomore May 28 2011, 15:46:10 UTC

Sango. You are well? You have not been hurt?

[Every new face to say something makes her realize exactly how many of the people she cares for are still outside, where safety is not guaranteed.]

[video] coraltaijiya May 30 2011, 02:04:08 UTC

I'm fine. [Physically, at least.] You don't have to do any worrying about me.

[Her tone is laid over a subtle question, asking without really asking what Juliet is worried about.]

[video] capuletnomore May 30 2011, 02:06:09 UTC

[She sighs. One less friend to fret over, at least at the present time. Tomorrow could change things.]

That is good. I would not want more people I care for hurt.

[Because of course he hates seeing his dear Juliet distressed. Not that he has the slightest idea how to comfort her, but... They grew up together. He did so when she got hurt then, it shouldn't be much different now, right? So have, him coming over and placing a hand on her shoulder.]

Juliet? It... will be all right. [He doesn't sound too convinced himself. But he has to be strong for her if nothing else]

[She startles at the hand on her shoulder. Hearing Tybalt's voice, she lets her posture drop, and she turns to him, flinging her arms around his torso, and sobs onto his chest. Of anyone here, she can allow herself to cry in front of Tybalt. She feels safest when he is with her, and she cannot cry if she doesn't feel safe enough to do so, not with all of the madness outside.]

[He can do this, he can do this... But then she's flinging herself at him, and wrapping her arms around him and everything. She needs comfort. Just calming comfort. His brain knows this. But his body keeps getting distracted by her warmth, the feel of her pressed up against him.

Willpower. He has it. He can do this]

We'll make it through. I promise. Somehow.

[And he's sort of awkwardly trying to stroke her hair]

Offline capuletnomore May 28 2011, 16:26:52 UTC

[She's aware of his hand stroking her hair and of the soothing words, but the comforting gestures only make her cling to him more tightly and cry harder. She's going to leave damp spots on his shirt from her sobbing. After so long of holding in all her fear, of trying so hard to be strong, she needs this moment of weakness.]
