Fifth Transmission

[allfunandgamesuntil]

[York's image comes up on the communicator, and even with armor on he looks fairly confused. He's sitting in the hotel, and Sparky's in his usual position on top of York's head.]

Okay, so I know I've been kind of distracted most of this week, but what the heck happened on the Mother of Invention? Is everyone okay?

Comments

[Carolina leans back against the wall, and offers the slightest of shrugs. Those few times she ever managed some sleep were rarely dreamless.

She also doesn't provide an answer to what she's decided to treat like a rhetorical question. It wouldn't likely be one that York would like to hear, anyway.]

At least people she knows are still here.

[allfunandgamesuntil]

Yeah, I'm sure that's a big bonus to her.

[He's just as glad that he's never woken up, for obvious reasons.]

[guerriera]

You'd know better than I would. She's your friend.

[ Obvious, understandable reasons. ]

Has that happened to a lot of people here? Leaving and returning?

[allfunandgamesuntil]

Only Church and Ziva, as far as I know.

[guerriera]

So it's not something to be counted on.

[She doesn't know if that's a good or a bad thing.]

[allfunandgamesuntil]

No, we've gotta find another way home if that's what we're angling for.

[guerriera]

So it would seem.

[ Arms remain folded. The conversation skirts on ice too thin for her to be comfortable with the direction it's taking.

She could just leave. Go on and do things with her day. No different to how she's handled matters in the past. Though she refuses to be afraid of this topic, what it might mean for her isn't something she can deal with right now...so she 'runs' from it, by changing it. ]

So. Assuming the projectors can be found, and actually work, what would you even show on them?

[allfunandgamesuntil]

We could do a horror movie festival.

[Wash would never forgive him. Or go to the festival. Still.]

[guerriera]

...Your movie collection made it into this dream world, too?

[ Now she DOES groan, and her head shakes. ]

Only you would suggest a horror movie festival, for after taking out some invisible horror on our own ship, York.

[ Plus there's kids around here, man. ]

[allfunandgamesuntil]

[Kids love horror movies.]

No, but I bet the moogles could get them.

[guerriera]

[ Kids are currently living one! ...In between all the candy pieces and cute fluffy critters. ..and ice breathing skeletal dinosaurs. ]

[dubiously] I'm not sure I want to know what counts as a horror movie for moogles.

[allfunandgamesuntil]

[Gun-toting maniacs who try to shoot them and implacably chase them down the street?]

Probably people with no money to pay them.

[guerriera]

[Good thing we don't know anyone like that! ..Wait..]

Sounds riveting. [except not] Aren't they lucky that's not likely to happen any time soon.

[ Except possibly to any Freelancers unfortunate enough to buy ammo until she fixes that price thing, anyway.</small. ]

[allfunandgamesuntil]

I'm sure they can get decent ones if they want.

[Somehow. He's not clear on how, but it works.]

[guerriera]

Well, I'll leave you to handle that. Just try and pick a few things that aren't going to add to the nightmare population along side your regular flavours.

[ She pushes off the wall, before glancing to her dream eater. ]

And I should see about tracking down North. C'mon Dax.

[allfunandgamesuntil]

Take care, boss.

[guerriera]

You too.

[ The hebby rep bounced to his feet, waved farewell to the room's residents, and scrambled after Carolina, who held the door open for him. ]

Keep me posted if you hear anything else.
