[ video ] - 1st life

[callunaelectra]

Hello? Hey, is this thing even on...?

[ The video feed cuts in, displaying a blond girl in her teens. She's currently staring at the camera with bloodshot eyes, black circles clearly evident. She reaches out, tapping on the screen once or twice, before frowning rather pointedly. ]Look, if anyone can hear me... I don't know where I am, or just who

It's nobody doing this on purpose, pulling us here.

Not that we know of, us other newcomers, at least.

[video forever]

[callunaelectra]

Other newcomers?

[ Have a vaguely interested glance your way. Silver hair...? Probably dyed, then. Certainly doesn't look like a normal kidnapper.

Then again, it's not like she's really used to what's normal yet. ]

[video forever]

[madeinoblivion]

Other people, here from other worlds. We showed up on the diamond too.

[callunaelectra]

Other worlds? [ Well, that's pretty far out. But, honestly... not like she's going to question it right now. Weirder things have happened. ]

So that stuff on the walls... are you saying it's true?

[thanxforthetoys]

Kid, we've already tried that rant. Nobody seems to be listening.

[ video ]

[callunaelectra]

Doesn't mean it wasn't worth a try.

[ Someone does not look pleased. ]

[audio]

[thanxforthetoys]

I'm not blaming you. Just saying there's more to it than giving whoever an earful.

If it were that easy, I'll bet you the majority of us would be back home now.

[ audio ]

[callunaelectra]

[ After having figured out how to set it to audio: ]

...yeah. I guess so.

[ And, after another moment: ] How many people are there around here?

Voice.

[zealouspeter]

That's fine. It's all pretty much "take care of yourself," here.

I mean... can you even walk?

[ audio ]

[callunaelectra]

[ After some fiddling with the pendant, she's managed to change it to audio mode. ]

I can walk just fine.

[ audio ]

[zealouspeter]

It doesn't look very much like you should, though.

[ audio ]

[callunaelectra]

[ A long, irritated sigh escapes the young woman before she speaks in much more quiet tones. ] Look, I'm fine. Seriously. I'd just really rather be home right now, alright?

[video]

[penetrable]

They won't.

[video]

[callunaelectra]

Really.

[ Deadpan. Complete, utter deadpan. She's been told this before, so she's lapsing into sarcasm mode - sorry, Yoite. ;_; ]

[video]

[penetrable]

Really.

[He's pretty zen, right now, so it's all good. He's in bed, and so he leans back against pillows. It's like there's a mountain of blankets on top of him.]

I guess you aren't through, though, since you're alive. There are places to stay.

[ audio ]

[callunaelectra]

[ Switching it to audio! ]

'Since I'm alive?' That's a weird way to put something. [ Oddly enough, she doesn't sound very surprised. ]

Look, I'd really rather not stay here any longer than I have to, but... Where are these places?

[crawdads]

... You ain't lookin' too hot girl, you okay?

[ a pause ]

You're... Kinda stuck here too.

[callunaelectra]

[ OH JESUS IT'S THE SOUTH. ]

Do I look like I'm okay? [ brb, exploding. ] This week's been shitty enough as is - I just want to go home already! Is that too much to ask?

video

[crawdads]

Well uh, that's what I- No.

[ oh man upset girl upset girl THIS IS THE RED ZONE. bringing up his hands calmly. ]

Just- Just take it easy now, miss.

[callunaelectra]

[ Switching it to audio before he has to see anything more. After a few moments of silence, the feed clicks back on. ]

...sorry about that. Just... it's been a rough week, you know?
