Joshua

[heloise]

[ This comes much later if only because the journals only occur to her then, after exploring much of the Event Horizon. Her voice is hushed as if afraid that someone might hear, but calm. ]

I do not know. A place made all of steel. It is dark.

Lucrezia

[ofhope]

[ That's okay he didn't need his sanity. ]

It's called a space ship. You haven't seen anything dangerous?

Joshua

[heloise]

[ What's a sanity even? Do you eat it? There was that room with... she doesn't even want to know. ]

No. Where are you? Will you find me?

Lucrezia

[ofhope]

I will.

First I need to know if you're in the same ship. Describe it more.

Joshua

[heloise]

[ But that means admitting that she lied just then. ]

It has a tunnel that spins, made all of steel. I can meet you there.

Joshua

[hellofist]

Are you alright?

Cassandra

[ofhope]

Alive.

Which ship?

Joshua

[hellofist]

The one with blood. It's gross.

Cassandra

[ofhope]

Blood? There's blood? What else?

Joshua

[hellofist]

On the walls. Spinning hallway with... sharp parts, then room with spikes. There's big... spinning thing, in there too.

[She frowns a bit.]

You haven't seen that? Where are you?

Joshua

[gottaknockhard]

[Does it say something that Joshua is the first person to check on him...]

I'd bet you could guess.

Spike

[ofhope]

[ Probably nothing good. ]

Are you on the wrong ship, too?

[ LIKE EVERYONE HE KNOWS? ]

Joshua

[gottaknockhard]

There's a right one?

Spike

[ofhope]

Does yours have blood?

Joshua

[gottaknockhard]

... The decoration is a little morbid, yeah.

[ Joshua ]

[workaphilic]

[He sounds detached.]

I'm here.

[ Sherlock ]

[ofhope]

[ Detached like about to jump off a roof detached or... ]

You sure?

[ Joshua ]

[workaphilic]

[Like 'shit is gonna get real' detached. But shit did get pretty real on that rooftop, so....

That comment gets a bit more sharpness into it, though.]

Is there a reason I shouldn't be?

[ Sherlock ]

[ofhope]

[ Oh there you are dude. ]

You tell me. Are you surrounded by blood and gore, or just stupid people?

[ Joshua ]

[workaphilic]

Both.

[But he's always surrounded by stupid people, so.]

Which are you missing?

Joshua

[selfless]

[ah, that's a familiar voice. She pulls the journal closer... it was short, but she knows Joshua when she hears him]

Hello?

Colette

[ofhope]

Colette... Are you on the other ship, too? The Event Horizon?

[ Because that would be just his luck. ]

Joshua

[selfless]

I didn't catch the name, but it's... There's a lot of blood on the wall.

Colette

[ofhope]

Yeah, that's it.

[ Sigh. Fuck a duck he's all alone and without powers. Someone will skewer him in his sleep. ]

You're all on there.

[selfless]

Lucrezia is here too?
