THE EVENT HORIZON - DAY TWO

[inferis]

[Something during the night has activated the ship's gravity core. There seems to be no evidence as to what caused it. Everything within the ship remains stable, but the ship itself shakes violently, and deep in the bowels, a ominous rumbling sound can be heard]

[Luke has been in a state of panic with all the commotion going on, as well as seeing things that don't really seem to be there. So he's relieved when he spots Lucrezia.]

Miss Lucrezia! Are you okay? You were gone for a while and I couldn't find you.

[heloise]

[ She has seen things that shouldn't be anywhere. But she startles when she hears Luke, as if the sound of his voice hurts too much. ]

Gone. Where? This is not real.

[tapshoetomove]

We must've got split up for a little bit. I couldn't find you anywhere.

[He moves closer to her, holding out his hand.]

We should go somewhere else...

[heloise]

[ She holds up her own hands, her bloodied fingertips, as if she doesn't recognize them. ]

There is nowhere to go.

[tapshoetomove]

I-is that blood?!

[He instinctively steps back.]

You need to go to the clinic!

[heloise]

Is it mine? There was so much.

[tapshoetomove]

What are you talking about? Please, let's just go. It's getting really dangerous and everyone's acting really strange.

[heloise]

[ She frowns at him, pitying, as if she only now sees him. ]

There is nowhere to go.

[tapshoetomove]

T-then let's just hide somewhere! Please!

[He reaches forward to tug on her sleeve, carefully trying to avoid the blood.]

[heloise]

[ Wise move. She is too tired to deny him so moves to follow even if she takes forever to even stand up. ]

More than one exit.

[tapshoetomove]

I'm sure we'll get rescued.

[He'll just try pulling her along. Even he doesn't know where he's going.]

W-we just have to find someplace safe and wait it out.

[heloise]

It needs to have an air vent and a door. And rations.

Have you eaten, little one?

[tapshoetomove]

[Luke shakes his head.]

I haven't found any food.

[heloise]

Let us find you some.

What will you have? Roast lamb? Chocolates?

[tapshoetomove]

[Luke laughs, even if it is a nervous laugh. Has she come to her senses? He hopes so, there's not too many people he can really trust on this ship right now.

Out of the corner of his eye, he sees a shadow move. It looks like the shadow of a large dog...]

I don't think there's any roast lamb or chocolates here, though I could really use an ice cream sundae.

[heloise]

[ She doesn't see it, thank goodness. That would send her over the edge to crazyland. Wait, never mind. ]

I would give you a mountain of ice cream, as much as you want. Until you cannot bear to look at ice cream sundae again.
