009 || [Video] Open to All

[It had been a long few days. The grief that had followed Brooklyn's announcement - the annoucement that the rest of the Manhattan Clan were missing, taken by the Black Mist - had been replaced by anger and, finally, by resolve. When Elisa switched on her communication device to speak, she looked paler than usual and she obviously hadn't been

O-oh dear... well, I know Liz'beth and Tulio were kidnapped. You could askin' them, though I haven't seen them 'round as of late.

[Too bad Lottie doesn't remember she was kidnapped... and was in the Mist for two months.]

[newyorkbynight]

[That is definitely going to impede her investigation. Although Elisa doesn't know the details, she does know that Lottie has disappeared into the Mist at least once.]

I'll talk to them, thanks.

What about you, Lottie? What do you know about the Mist?

[tiatiatiatiatia]

Well... it's... bad?

[Grade A idiot genius right here.]

[newyorkbynight]

[The statement was delivered so earnestly that Elisa couldn't help but smile in response to it.]

Thanks, but I'd worked out that much. Anything else?

[private like OMG]

[keyblade2face]

..

I was in the Mist for a while.

[Private]

[newyorkbynight]

[Elisa nodded, responding in a gentle voice that seemed appropriate.]

And would you be able to tell me what you remember?

Re: [Private]

[keyblade2face]

I don't remember much, only that it was...

It was hell. I was scared and lonely, and it kept showing me my friends, but they-- They where dying. It...

It kept getting worse until I blacked out and I don't know how I got out of it to end up in Berk when there was no Mist there. Only that I did.

[Private]

[newyorkbynight]

It seems to feed on what we fear the most. Our own personal hell.

And your invitation to the Academy? That reached you when you were in Berk?

[So very Private]

[pharaoh2be]

I had a rather...direct interaction with the Mist when I went on Lottie's rescue.

She...still doesn't remember it so I'd very much appreciate it if you didn't bring it up with her.

[Private]

[newyorkbynight]

Nothing you tell me will leave the security department. You have my word.

[Private]

[pharaoh2be]

That's reassuring.

Should I recount the whole encounter or is there something specific you wish to know about?

[Private]

[newyorkbynight]

The whole encounter, if you don't mind. I'm not exactly sure what I'm looking for.

[video!]

[maidofcurtains]

Oh. Oh, dear.

W-well, ma'am, I have reason to believe that I may have been in the Mist, just before my arrival.

What would you like to know?

[Video]

[newyorkbynight]

Anything. Even the smallest detail might be useful.

What makes you think you were exposed to it?

[maidofcurtains]

Well, you see, when I first arrived here, I didn't really remember much of anything, and I was in quite a state. But I had no recollection of anything bad happening...

Though someone suggested I might have been in the Mist. But that's all I know. I'm sorry if it's unhelpful!

[newyorkbynight]

Anything at all? What about your name? How did you know to come to the Academy?

[breaks_him_in]

You called?

[Don't expect him to be helpful. At all.]

[newyorkbynight]

You answered. Does that mean you have a story to share?
