Chloe Saunders 001

Th-this… c-can’t be happening… [Chloe stumbles slightly, eyes wide as she stares up at the stars above her head—the surrounding area of the plane that looks as though it should be something out of a sci-fi movie. First the nightmare—which she was used to, though not to this caliber—then the shop keeper, that Sault woman, finding herself here. Her throat constricted.]

D-Derek?! [If he was anywhere nearby, he’d hear her, right?] Simon? Tori? A-Aunt Lauren?

Oh, no. No, no, no. [Panic seized in her chest. Her stomach twisted into knots. She would not panic. This had to be the St. Cloud Cabal’s doing: Sorcerer magic. She wouldn’t let them get to her.]

Okay, you found me. [She didn’t stutter. Good.] .] I know who you are, so you don’t need to pull this. The bad guys always go for the seemingly helpless girl, right? Where are the others? Where is my Aunt Lauren? Wh-where are Simon and Derek and Tori?

[Then she remembered. Derek. Werewolf. Expendable. She might be expendable.] I-I promise to c-cooperate so long as you don’t harm any of the others! [Did that sound too desperate? She didn’t care. If this was as bad as she assumed it was, she wasn’t taking any chances on the safety of her friends and family.

[She took a step forward. Then another. ‘Welcome to The Machine?’ What was this, more experimentation? She shuddered, lungs seizing in her chest.]

You can’t do this… [The words were whispered, horror in her tone. Then a fist clenched, and she glared at the general landscape. They wouldn’t win. They could never win. Alright, she was captured. Now it looked like she needed to find the others—and get answers. With a stride full of purpose, she stepped forward, anger lashing her tone as she warned whoever was behind this.]

You picked the wrong heroine to mess with, Sorcerer. [Damned if the others weren’t looking for her right now.]

[Chloe nods at those words, already thinking of what would need to be done here. It all seemed too familiar. Eerily familiar. At least she'd had experience in this regard.]

All right. Looks like I have my work cut out for me.

[Glances at him, considering.]

Do you feel comfortable here? Do you have allies? People you can trust?

I'm fine. [A non-answer. He is not the most open of kids.] Be careful if you end up in another world. You'll usually turn up near someone from the Plane.

[Why did he remind her so much of when she first met Derek?] If you say so.

Wait. I can't just end up in another world at random, can I? Should I be wary or thankful that I end up near someone from the Plane?

That's your choice. The Machine seems to take people between worlds on its own sometimes. Why it does it or what the pattern is is its own secret.

Hmm. A faulty Machine, or one that likes to tamper, I wonder...

The scientists don't control it completely, so it's likely that it has a mind of its own.

[If Chloe wasn't worried earlier, she was definitely worried now.]

That's...not good. [There is slight horror in her tone.] Have you ever been injured here? Has this place been a danger to anyone?

[personal profile] ex_fatalist246 2011-08-10 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
People have died. [His voice is very unemotional, very unfeeling. She's already worried, but she needs to know the truth.] Some experiments are designed for danger.

Died...?

[Yep, he's right. She's already worried, and going through a bad bout of deja vu.]

...Great.

The people running it bring them back to life after.

Back to life? [Not as zombies?]

I didn't think it possible...

[personal profile] ex_fatalist246 2011-08-14 09:27 pm (UTC)(link)
We don't know how it's done. They hosted fights to the death, probably for that purpose, a while ago.

*now her eyes widen considerably*

Th-that's barbaric.

...Is there a way to get out of it? T-to not fight?

[personal profile] ex_fatalist246 2011-08-15 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
We managed to stop the fights after a little more than a week.

[identity profile] ghostly-stutter.livejournal.com 2011-08-17 04:17 pm (UTC)(link)
...A week?!

The fight went on for that long?

[personal profile] ex_fatalist246 2011-08-18 10:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[he shakes his head] There were two fights a day. All of them had a time limit. If no one died before time ran out, both fighters would die instantly.

[She stares, unable to breathe as she imagines such a situation, and her face drains of color.]

Wh-wh-why?

Wh-why would someone demand such a thing to take place?

[personal profile] ex_fatalist246 2011-08-19 06:47 pm (UTC)(link)
We don't really know.
