[Voice]

[There's a quiet crunching sound before Mulder speaks up, sounding thoughtful.]

Show of metaphorical hands. Or antennae, whichever you're partial to: Who here has been kidnapped for a special one-on-one date with our captors? I'd like to arrange an off-journal meeting to speak about your personal experiences if anyone happens to have some free time. It shouldn't take long, just a few minutes. I'll be hanging around the shops in town most of the day, I've got some... supplies I've been meaning to find. [Still looking for a basketball, woe and alas.] We can always head elsewhere from there, though.

I understand that it's a sensitive topic for most people, and it's all right if you'd rather not talk about it. Or if you'd rather be anonymous, just slip a note under my door detailing anything you can remember about the experience itself. Anything at all, before, during, after. Your answers will be kept in confidence. I'm in Community Building 7, Floor 2, Room 10.

[It all makes sense to him, and Mulder watches now with fascination. He knows enough to get an idea of what it looks like, though he'd definitely be itching to ask his geek buddies their opinions. Too bad they're all home.]

Now that's a cool piece of equipment. It... appears almost biological, though it's in coding...

It was the way he thought things up, I suppose. I am made of pixels, regardless. Hurt me badly enough and I'll shatter.

That's a really fascinating set-up... [Looks at her, not sure he wants to picture that, but...] Shatter? Really?

[She shuts her disc down, placing it on her back--her eyes flash as it syncronizes, and she nods]

Yes. Imagine smashing a plane of glass...it is like that.

[She shrugs]

Happens quite often, actually.

[Mulder watches, still fascinated.]

Well, I hope it never comes to that happening.
survivethesiren: (RECTIFIED)

Action

[personal profile] survivethesiren 2011-06-26 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sure it already happened.

[She watches him back, her blue eyes studying his face]

Action

[identity profile] ufo-fanboy.livejournal.com 2011-06-26 09:20 am (UTC)(link)
You mean... when you were- what was the word, derezzed?
survivethesiren: ([castor] the devil you know)

Action

[personal profile] survivethesiren 2011-06-28 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
Yes.

[She looks down, suddenly quite interested in her hands]

Action

[identity profile] ufo-fanboy.livejournal.com 2011-06-29 07:24 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sorry... I know it's probably hard to think about. Someday, if and when we get rid of the Malnosso, you'll be free to enjoy this new chance at life you've been given.
survivethesiren: ([emotion] you are such a dick)

Action

[personal profile] survivethesiren 2011-07-02 03:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Or we shall all be sent back because of it. [She tilts her head, smiling softly--something knowing and playful]

You might worry that I am working against my better interests.

Action

[identity profile] ufo-fanboy.livejournal.com 2011-07-02 04:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Now that you mention it, I am wondering about that. You'd still be willing to work toward that, knowing what could happen to you?
survivethesiren: ([normal] survive)

Action

[personal profile] survivethesiren 2011-07-05 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
[She nods, once.]

I would.

But the real question is...

[A smirk.]

Can you trust me?

Action

[identity profile] ufo-fanboy.livejournal.com 2011-07-05 06:35 am (UTC)(link)
After all of our conversations, I really think I can. We're in the same position, and after the same thing.

[His paranoia is directed in particular at those in authority... so he's found it a lot easier to trust in other villagers.]
survivethesiren: (next thing we're touching)

Action

[personal profile] survivethesiren 2011-07-07 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
There was a time that you'd be a fool for doing so.

[At least she's honest.]

Action

[identity profile] ufo-fanboy.livejournal.com 2011-07-07 01:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh? I'm guessing there's a story behind that?

[Curious agent is curious, since so far he hasn't gotten a bad vibe from her or anything.]
survivethesiren: ([normal] I watch it all)

Action

[personal profile] survivethesiren 2011-07-09 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
Survival at any cost.

[She shrugs, watching him]

Sometimes collateral was sacrificed.

Action

[identity profile] ufo-fanboy.livejournal.com 2011-07-09 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
Collateral? Such as?

[He's admittedly curious to know more specifics. Whether or not he agrees with it entirely... well, that remains to be seen. It's not like he's going to hold the past against her though. In here they can't afford to.]
survivethesiren: ([normal] singular creature)

My leader tended to find the rebels and turn them into the other side. I was the one who would find them.

My programming doesn't allow me to deny requests from him.

Action

[identity profile] ufo-fanboy.livejournal.com 2011-07-10 06:24 am (UTC)(link)
So even if he showed up here... you'd have to obey him?
survivethesiren: ([castor] the devil you know)

Action

[personal profile] survivethesiren 2011-07-10 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[She nodded.]

Unless the programming is removed, I am owned by him.

Action

[identity profile] ufo-fanboy.livejournal.com 2011-07-11 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
I hope that wouldn't cause you too many problems, in the event he shows up.
survivethesiren: (well you made the choice)

Action

[personal profile] survivethesiren 2011-07-12 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
Probably not.

[She gives him a soft smile. She's lying through her teeth.]

Action

[identity profile] ufo-fanboy.livejournal.com 2011-07-12 06:50 am (UTC)(link)
[Mulder studies her closely as she says that, but he can't tell either way if she's lying. Still, he knows it's something they're better off not worrying about when they have immediate concerns.]

I guess that would just have to be dealt with if it came down to it, one day. Or maybe he'll never show up. It's impossible to predict how many people from a given world will ever arrive.
survivethesiren: ([emotion] steps in time)

Action

[personal profile] survivethesiren 2011-07-12 10:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Considering how people are coming and going from my world, I suppose I shouldn't worry about anyone staying.

I might be the only constant.

We need as much stability as possible around here, if we're going to accomplish anything...
