01st transformation . video . locks for erik & charles

[permutates]

[ She greets the barge with a smile. Her appearance is 'normal' - normal for a human. No blue skin or yellow eyes in sight. ]

Hi. [ And a little wave. She regrets it immediately. That's kind of embarrassing, isn't it? And not something that she should be doing, because she's here for a purpose. ] I'm Raven.

I heard a few of my friends were here, so I thought I'd come… help. I'm a warden.

And I'm here because I really believe that even if you're trapped, you still should have a chance to figure out who you are. I think that's important.

[ locked to Erik ]

Well, you thought I was crazy for trying, but I found you.

[ locked to Charles ]

[ She considered her approach to this for a long time. There are a lot of things that they should probably say to each other, and she's supposed to be responsible here. She can't just avoid him, as much as she wants to, while she gets her head together. ]

You should know that I'm here.

The deal was to expand on my powers. It's not that important to me.

What I wanted to know is where Erik was and what was happening to him.

[She nods. Not something she would have done, but -

Maybe she would have done. For someone in particular.]

Have the two of you spoken yet?

Spam

[permutates]

Not yet.

[chlorophylliac]

It wouldn't surprise me if he told you to leave, as well. Though it sounds like you're already braced to ignore him.

Spam

[permutates]

I'll listen. I just probably won't do what he says.

I don't need as much protecting as he thinks.

Re: Spam

[chlorophylliac]

There's only so much danger you can be placed in, here. Have you been told about the Death Toll?

Spam

[permutates]

No...

Spam

[chlorophylliac]

Ah. [She turns back to look at her.] If you die here, you'll be revived, suffering from a condition called the Death Toll - phantom pains based on the way you died. You'll be bedridden for a couple of days, and unwell for a week. But that's all.

I think the Admiral said I wouldn't die.

[ This is interesting, to her. Strange. She turns it over in her mind. ]

Spam

[chlorophylliac]

Technically you won't. Though it's more accurate to say you won't stay dead if it happens.

Spam

[permutates]

Weird.

So I guess... it's pain that you really have to fear here.

Spam

[chlorophylliac]

If you have to be afraid of anything.

Spam

[permutates]

You don't have to. I meant it's what people have. That they could be afraid of.

Re: Spam

[chlorophylliac]

Pain is one, but there are others. Some people are afraid of never graduating their inmates. Never graduating themselves. Never seeing their home or loved ones again. Vanishing at random, returning to whatever situation they came here from.

Spam

[permutates]

So pain or failure.

Spam

[chlorophylliac]

More or less.

Spam

[permutates]

Sounds like a normal day. Except minus death.

[ Which, truth be told, she has been worrying about a little. ]

Re: Spam

[chlorophylliac]

[That gets an eyebrow.]

Is that how you spend your normal days? Fearing failure?

Spam

[permutates]

My normal days have had a lot of fear in them.

Spam

[chlorophylliac]

I'm sorry. [It's genuine, for the most part.] You shouldn't have to be afraid to live your life how you choose.

Spam

[permutates]

It's how things are.

Not that I'm not trying to fix it. Or trying to help, anyway.
