{Twenty-Eight} {Audio//French//English}

[chorusangel]

[A shriek of shock and fear, and then Christine starts babbling in her native tongue.]

What's going on? What's happening?

Oh, God help me...

[After a while she calms down and switched back to English]

What happen? You all alright? Erol? Evie? Amaria?

....Anyone else down here?

Comments

[hatesallmen]

Woah, Christine, you are okay???

[Audio//French]

[chorusangel]

I... I think so, but it's just a shock to suddenly be in these caves.

Are you down here too, Yonekuni?

Re: [Audio//French]

[hatesallmen]

Yes. What happen? There was BOOM and then...

[Audio//French]

[chorusangel]

I don't know! I was in my room, and then suddenly I was down here.

I hope everyone is alright...

[psychoticracer]

*Christine's tone of panic, echoing over damp rock, brings Erol to her side as fast as if the Baron had barked an order. Maybe even faster. He strides towards her, tugs her close and checks her over.*

Injuries?

*He was sharp, not disoriented in the least from the change in scenery. Used to this by now, and trained to handle chaotic situations.*

[chorusangel]

N-none.

[Oh, thank God, Erol's alright, and he's here now, so a small part of her fear dissipates, especially as she simply clings to him, but only a small part. You be calm all you want, Erol, but your girlfriend feels entitled to a little freaking out.]

[psychoticracer]

Good.

[She's... clinging. This is different.]

I can't - ...

[Can't what, pat her on the head and coddle her? What the hell else do you have to do? Regroup? Regroup what, you don't have a unit. No one to look after, no superior officer to locate. Akagi's capable of taking care of himself, and so are the rest of his peers. He'd like to know where they are and what's going on, but chances are, he's not NEEDED anywhere.

It's an uncomfortable feeling, not having anywhere to go during an emergency. Erol grits his teeth, sighs, and lets her cling.]

Ugh, never mind. Stick close, we've all been dumped in here at once. Mar knows who's around the fucking corner.

[Might run into Dexter - who Erol wasn't afraid of, but he might try to get to Christine. She'd been warned away from him now, but she didn't know what he looked like, and that left her at risk if Erol went elsewhere.

Or worse yet. Batou. If EVERYONE was here... Kage said he was still on the registry...]

[chorusangel]

[She's a little upset, though not surprised, by Erol's rather brusque manner. What had she expected? That he would hold her and comfort her?

Still. At least he didn't push her away.]

Alright.

[Christine stays clingy as she follows Erol, a fresh wave of fear washing over her at the scenarios that could play out so very easily down here. What if they came across one of Erol's enemies, or, even worse, a large group of them? What would they do then? And what would they do anyway? Lots of people on the comms were muttering abotu the ship sinking.]

...Will we die?

[Audio // English]

[warmandfluffy]

[with a bit of a Japanese accent...]

...are you okay?

[Audio//English]

[chorusangel]

Yes, I think.

[Wait, she doesn't know this voice, and the girl sounds very young...]

You new, yes? You alright?

[Audio//English]

[warmandfluffy]

Someone is helping you?

I'm alright. I don't know what happened.

[Audio//English]

[chorusangel]

Yes, a friend here now.

I not think anyone know what happen. You alone? I can try find you?

[nanoblast]

You ok lady?

[Audio//English]

[chorusangel]

Yes, I think.

You know what happen?
