[Two weeks. Two weeks she's been here, every day more stressful than the last. Natalie depends on logic, it's her only anchor in a twisted-up, confusing world - but there's not enough of it here. Powers that shouldn't exist, technology that shouldn't exist, machines that the government put inside her. A job that's loud and chaotic, where she's sent arbitrarily from one random item to the next, fast, fast, fast, never letting her stop, and the machine blares angrily at her if she's even two seconds late. She can't stand it, but she's terrified of what might happen if she tries to quit.

And that's not even to mention the bizarre images and voices vibrating in her head - (that last one's the network, of course, but it's hard to tell how much of it is real, if any, and it deeply unsettles her). She's been trying to ignore it, but it's easy to activate, and there's no end to it.

She's had enough.]


I can't do this

Please let me go home


["Post." And the thought slips away into the ether.

She doesn't expect a reply, not really.]

You can.

Do you need help?
illuminescent: (Lucy - a moment of devious)

[personal profile] illuminescent 2016-10-25 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, I fear it likely is.

What can I do to make this better?
illuminescent: (Lucy - in silence)

[personal profile] illuminescent 2016-10-25 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. I cannot do that.

[Jesse has the sort of deep, rough voice that can sound strangely soothing when he's speaking in a gentle tone, which he utilizes now:]

Hey. I know it's scary to be in a different world, but you're okay. And you'll be home before you know it and you won't remember any of this. It won't even be like a bad dream. It'll be nothing.

[Too many people speaking by voice, in person. Too much distraction. Too much noise. Better to privately approach through her preferred method of communication, he thinks. She's lost her stability, lost the people she associates with, and this new world was shaking her up enough to force her into adopting some very bad habits.]

Hello. Can I ask you a question?

[Maybe that's all he has to say? Maybe it's enough?]

[personal profile] illuminescent 2016-10-25 11:32 am (UTC)(link)
What is your job?

Please, do let me help.
restingstitchface: (Studious)

Perma both of those tbh

[personal profile] restingstitchface 2016-10-25 06:32 pm (UTC)(link)
You seek your return home because this world is illogical. Powers and technology. The noise. Nothing about it makes sense. Is that right?
restingstitchface: (Marvel)

[personal profile] restingstitchface 2016-10-25 06:59 pm (UTC)(link)
I've been alerted by your conversations. I suppose you don't know that, unless they're locked like what I've done here, they're open to the public?

[A nervous, twitching thing likes her privacy and quiet, right?]
restingstitchface: (Humiliation)

[personal profile] restingstitchface 2016-10-25 07:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Everyone.

I imagine you don't know they're stored for reference, either?
restingstitchface: (Elysium)

[personal profile] restingstitchface 2016-10-25 07:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes. Does that frighten you?

[Plant the ideas. Watch them grow. It's a good hobby for people like him.]

Yeah. You just have to pull through 'til you get sent back. Lucky we're all here to help each other, right?
