009 Terrified Oubursts - Written / Action

[hatesgoodbyes]

[No voice, but that should be surprising no one by this point, however the panicked handwritten scrawl across the page might be new. It was not neat or crisp or clean as usual it was jagged like someone trying to adjust to a foreign limb writing rather than their usual hand.]

WH AT HAP PENED?

[The letters were spaced oddly and off center, pressure so hard that the pen was leaving a spreading ink splotch on the page. Hasty turning of pages and a sharp rasp followed. Red dripped to the white in tiny blossoms of red. Blood drips, tiny and nothing remotely more than an annoyance and certainly nothing that should have resulting in the terrified sound of scrambling that came after.

Paradisa, for those of you wandering around the quiet castle today especially those near dark corners you might see a darting figure moving and trying to stay to the shadows. Long blond hair and pale skin..a whole lot of pale skin as she’s naked. Humanity picked a hell of a week to hit Texas.]

THIS IS W RONG.

[Church had missed Tex's scrawled note, still too used to listening for dictated messages in a world struck mute. Right now he was focused on getting back to his room and into his armor. While he hoped that the castle was just pulling another prank on everyone he had a sick nagging feeling... a combination of experience and paranoia... that made him want his armor just in case.

He's planning what to do next, finding out if everyone is set and what the plans for shit happening are when... was that a naked chick that just scurried across the hall?]

[hatesgoodbyes]

[Way to be fucking observant Church, yes indeed it was a naked woman who darted across the hall and ducked into a shadowy niche further up the way.]

[originalcopy]

[Yeah well excuse him, it's not like naked chicks running around the halls is something you expect to see.

He peers down the hall and carefully approaches. He'd say something, unlike everyone else he wasn't entirely mute but well... honestly he'd rather be mute.]

[hatesgoodbyes]

[Well...get up to speed man. Tex was trying hard to blend into the wall, unable to find much in the way of weaponry. The panic which made her heart race and eyes go wide had made her overlook the fact that she had guns and knives and weapons in her room.

That...was probably better for everyone. Unfortunately that panic was from her suddenly finding herself human, which had also left her in the chilly present circumstance of being naked in the hallway.]

[originalcopy]

[Blending into the wall would actually work a lot better if you weren't you know, naked. Good job.

It's pretty obvious he isn't fooled by her 'blending in', the curious look on his face turns blank and then confused wonder takes it's place as he gets close enough to recognize her. That face that was so burned into his memories, even in Epsilons wake it had only taken the slightest of prompting from her to start bringing it back to him.]

Tex... Allison? [It's too bad his voice is a flat mechanical tone, uncomfortably reminiscent of Gamma.]

[hatesgoodbyes]

[Yeah? Well you sound like a bad 1980's video game.

She looks wild, blue eyes too wide and hands splayed against the stone wall behind her. It took her longer to recognize him than it had taken Church.

The voice was disconcerting but still it was Church, Church would know how to help her. She lunged forward right wrist gripped tightly in her left hand and her index finger thrust up at him.]

[originalcopy]

[Which is exactly why he's not eager to talk to anyone.

He pulls back a bit as she shoves the finger in his face. At least she isn't emphatically flipping him off, wrong finger for that, but what does she want?

He shrugs.]

What?

[hatesgoodbyes]

[What? What? Are you blind Church? She thrust the hand at him again, clearly this was important and should he look closely enough he would notice the teeny tiny cut along the pad of her finger. Hardly even seeping blood anymore.]

[foughtfortheusers]

Castle happened.

[hatesgoodbyes]

CASTLE C AN BITE ME

[foughtfortheusers]

Can not bite. Is a castle.

[hatesgoodbyes]

FIGURE OF SPEECH

[foughtfortheusers]

Understood, user.

Damaged?

[hatesgoodbyes]

NO.

YES. IN A HUMAN BODY!

[foughtfortheusers]

Happens. At least not an animal.

[Carolina's not exactly excited to be wandering around the Castle while silent, but she needs to find York. On the way toward his room, though, she spots someone familiar, someone who she would never have expected to see in this life again. Her breath stops, time stops, everything stops.

She watches the blonde woman for a long, long moment, her mouth moving in a silent outline of a word she felt she had long forgotten how to say,] Mom.

[hatesgoodbyes]

[Oh shit, of all the things that could have happened this was probably the worst. She was unarmed, no armor, unfamiliar with the body she was in, there was no way she could hold her own in a fight.

She scrambled backward but ended with her back to the wall.]
