[Accidental video]

[vw_coyote]

[At first, the NV just catches the sounds of surf and the pounding of water against sand. The camera is pointed at the sky, showing the bright full moon

Comments

[Reaction on her apart/accidental video.]

[reginagloriae]

God. Oh God!

[Her eyes widen as she drops the parchment in the table. Did that animal attack the NV's owner?!]

[Video - much later]

[vw_coyote]

[Mercy's wearing a sweater and sweat pants, sitting in her bedroom.]

Are you alright?

[Video - much later]

[reginagloriae]

Huh.

[Is it... the same device? God, did she post a message? She looks relieved. She hopes it's the same device and this person accidentally dropped it.]

I'm ok. And you?

[Video - much later]

[vw_coyote]

[A slight smile.]

I'm fine. You just seemed distressed.

[ Action ]

[ It should be no surprise that the Unicorn was out and about. Hearing the mournful howl from the coyote, she changes her path to head towards the animal. ]

Is it to the moon which you sing, or misery which claims you?

[ What are greetings? ]

[ Action ]

[vw_coyote]

[Mercy raises her head and yips in soft greeting to Unicorn. She's always liked the gentle calming presence. She looks up at the moon and then whines.

Tonight she sings to the moon in misery. She's lonely.]

[ Action ]

[notamare]

[ Unicorn can understand loneliness. She feels it keenly every day. It's normal to her - not so much to more social creatures. ]

Where have your friends gone?

[ Action ]

[vw_coyote]

[The coyote sighs and looks back at the diamond. None of her friends have appeared. She didn't know where they were... but she missed them keenly.]

[accidental video]

[violins_rain]

Eh?

[Is that a coyote? What's it doing with an NV? Probably someone dropped it and the animal started to play around with it--that's the most likely reason anyway...

So why does it feel like this video is actually a message of some sorts?]

[video]

[vw_coyote]

Sorry, my dog got my phone. I hope she didn't disturb you.

[video]

[violins_rain]

[When Rain gets the reply, he's a little surprised from not having realized that he had accidentally posted to the original footage. Now, however, he's curious]

Dog? She looks and sounds quite like a coyote to me.

[This with a wink to show he doesn't expect Mercy to either confirm or dissuade him and that he wasn't bothered by the video]

She must have gotten out into the Darkness - she ok now?

[video]

[vw_coyote]

She's fine. Curled up on her blanket probably thinking herself smug for having gotten out and back without trouble.

[Spock leaves a message for the coyote, despite not expecting any response. Talking to the creature is more comfortable than speaking with many of the humans residing on this island.]

A lament of the wilderness of Earth.. [It is somehow something he feels he can relate to, perhaps in being away from one's own kind.] Hearing your cry is preferable to the unnatural sound of the ones who live in the city's darkness.

[video]

[vw_coyote]

[It comes a little bit later, and Mercy's wearing a sweater and sweatpants.]

You're a bit young to be up so late.

[It's said with concern and without judgment.]

[video]

[doesfeel]

[Spock has no idea this woman was the coyote, so the message itself seems to be quite random.]

I presume you are familiar with the average Terran sleep requisites. Allow me to inform you that Vulcans require less sleep to maintain optimal health.

[video]

[vw_coyote]

Vulcan?

[Mercy smiles.]

I'm well used to people who don't need much sleep. My name is Mercy.

[wickedclever]

Be careful out there, Mercy.
