Dossier Thirteen

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

[Henrietta is in the woods again, this time in the deepest, darkest most private area she can find. She's wrestling with her P90, trying to grip it properly, but the muzzle keeps dipping towards the forest floor. She fumbles and nearly drops it, wincing--her hands are raw and sore-looking. Apparently she's been at this a while. She hesitates.]

...I should look for them again...


[[Experiment start!]]

How do you mean?

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

My muscles aren't responding properly, and my vision and hearing are really bad.

[ghostlighter]

Really bad? As in... normal?

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

[ D8?! ] But... that's...

[ghostlighter]

That's...? What, not possible? It's around now I find myself having to remind people we're standing in space and meeting people from entirely different realities.

I need to go back home. I don't know why I came here--they can fix me there. [Starts to pack up her gun, flailing internally.]

[ghostlighter]

Fix you? But... But what if you don't need to be fixed?

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

But I'm not working. You're right, my eyes and my ears and everything--my modifications must be faulty. They should be replaced.

[ghostlighter]

No, no, no. Just... hear me out. What if they don't need to be replaced? Someone here... her magic disappeared. She said it must have been the Twins who did it — they do things to people, but it's always temporary. What if they made your modifications not work?

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

[Falters] But then I just need new ones. If the Twins made them not work, I can just get new ones.

[ghostlighter]

And if they make those not work?

[She hugs her knees, her hand slipping under her jacket to grip her P239 reflexively.]

[ghostlighter]

... can you try waiting here for a while?

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

Right now?

[ghostlighter]

Yeah. Until this goes away.

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

[ ... D8 ] But... What if it doesn't go away? I need to go back and get inspected.

[ghostlighter]

And what if it comes back and getting everything replaced was for nothing?

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

[Fffffffff] I need... I need to get fixed, I can't stay like this, it's...
