[Scott] Wanting contact (tag Ripley, open)

Apr 01, 2006 11:33

After a dinner of everything-in-the-kitchen-sink stew (which was decidedly strange but not bad-tasting) and a side of roast turtle, Scott and Ami stayed with the group talking for a while. Before long Scott was half-listening to the conversation and mostly keeping an eye out for Ripley. When he finally spotted her near the treeline, Scott ( Read more... )

Peter Gabriel?

Yup! "I've Got the Touch" by Peter Gabriel. :D

Ripley, stoned now but still restless, roamed through the treeline as an excuse to avoid people. She was no longer possessed with homicidal fury, but she was deeply confused and dealing with her first experience of depression, and the weed could only help that so much ( ... )

"Oh," Scott said lamely. He didn't know what else to say. It made sense for the prisoners -- despite their precarious positions -- to try to recruit Ripley. She was strong, fast, and a good fighter and hunter. (What could they possibly offer her, though?) Putting his confusion aside, Scott laid one hand on Ripley's shoulder, channeling reassurance through the touch. Rather than asking if she wanted to talk about it as he'd intended, Scott found himself blurting his sudden realization. "You're baked!"

Scott's hand on her shoulder was reassuring, but he looked so confused. She shook her head and said, "The female prisoner was gifted. She /read/ me. She knew the trouble I've been having here and prodded me in every sore spot she could find. I've been doing better...but then today had been bad anyway ( ... )

Ripley's description of the psychic Other's manipulation was chilling. Scott had heard about Tara's spell, its effects, and how the prisoners were dumped in the jungle. Now he understood why Tara and Tommy, if the rumors were true, had outed themselves as magic users. Who knew how much information the psychic prisoner had collected by simply reading whoever walked by ( ... )

[Ami] Quiet Time (open tag) fikgirl April 2 2006, 04:18:17 UTC

When Scott sat off after Ripley, Ami stayed by the fire, talking quietly with those around her. The day had truly been one more crisis after another, and she was glad to relax and unwind a bit, but inevitably the conversation began to drift towards the events of the day: the box, the items, Tara's spell, the prisoners, and Ami found her mind drifting ( ... )

[Sun] Quiet Time (tag Ami, open) fikgirl April 3 2006, 01:50:14 UTC

Sun watched the other survivors from a short distance away. Although she helped in the infirmary and foraged, and Jin caught the fish that was served for dinner, it was difficult to mingle with the others when you weren't supposed to know their language. But Sun had questions about the people who'd come back with Ash, Ripley, Jon and Kenzaki - the young man, Chris and the other man, Carlos. It was good that others had survived the crash and found their way to the camp; and like any other female on the beach, she was not opposed to admiring a few more handsome men ( ... )

[Ami] Quiet Time (tag Sun, open) fikgirl April 3 2006, 02:31:52 UTC

Ami was genuinely happy to see Sun, and at the same time felt horribly guilty for neglecting her friend all day. Between the myriad of crises and being so utterly wrapped up in Scott, she hadn't realized how little she'd seen or talked to her friend today. She was really going to have to remedy that.

Sun smiled and stepped up beside Ami, "I asked because you looked like you were taking a break .. from people."

Still toying with the locket, Ami gave Sun a sheepish grin, "Am I that transparent?"

"I do not know so much about transparent," Sun replied, "But I think that it is what I would be doing if I were you."

The quiet, unspoken acknowledgement of Ami's telepathic abilities did not escape her notice. Ami nodded, "That is a large part of it. It's been … a day."

"So, I have heard." Sun peered at the locket, "Did that come from The BoxSun's observation drew Ami's attention to the fact that she was toying with it and she nodded. She popped it open, holding it up for Sun to see the picture. "It was a birthday present from my father. ( ... )

[Sun] Walking Along the Shore (tag Ami, open) fikgirl April 3 2006, 04:24:43 UTC

What did she want to know? (Everything. I want to know everything,) was Sun's knee jerk reaction, but then she realized that wasn't precisely the truth. She'd found out more than she was willing to deal with yesterday, so knowing everything was not on the agenda ( ... )

[Ripley] Congenial company (tag Scott, Kenzaki, open) hybrid_ripley April 4 2006, 19:48:41 UTC

Ripely sat awkwardly on the log, looking around at the others chattering around the fire. When Kenzaki thanked Scott for looking after her, she started laughing. "My partner here's got it in his head that I need protecting." She shook her head, grinning a bit. She would have been somewhat insulted if it wasn't just so...silly.

/Kenzaki needs someone who needs his protection. Someone he can be a hero for. Me? He just doesn't get it. I can tell him the word /bakemono/--monster--but he still won't get it. I'm probably the person on this island least in need of anyone's protection. Lessons on how to act human and deal with human emotions, yes, but not protection. What I need is--a brother in arms./

She blinked as Scott suddenly looked distracted. "Everything cool?" she asked worriedly. She hadn't heard any psychic screams, but she knew she was barely aware of such things, whereas Scott...yeah.

[Scott] Congenial company (tag Ripley, Kenzaki, open) starborn_scribe April 4 2006, 20:43:59 UTC

"Everything cool?" Ripley asked.

"Um, yeah," Scott replied. He pitched his voice low for Ripley's sharp ears. "Ami's ticked off about something. It's not a big deal." Then he widened his gaze to include Kenzaki. "Should we continue the Japanese/English lessons? It's either that or charades."

[Ripley] Congenial company (tag Scott, Kenzaki, open) hybrid_ripley April 4 2006, 23:59:15 UTC

Ripley nodded. Scott knew she had his back if he needed it, same as she knew about Kenzaki. Now if more of those sort of support-connections could be made...they might just survive this.

"Charades? Sorry, not familiar. But I could tell you guys some of my funnier spacing stories. We can practice Japanese and English as we go."

It would give Scott and Kenzaki both more of a chance to understand her weirdass view of this world, and probably be fun as well.

Of course, being stoned, she didn't consider who else might be listening in....
