[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.

[She nods, once.]

I would.

But the real question is...

[A smirk.]

Can you trust me?

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)

There was a time that you'd be a fool for doing so.

[At least she's honest.]

Action

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.]

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.

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

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.]

[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.

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...
survivethesiren: ([manipulate] we work together)

[personal profile] survivethesiren 2011-07-15 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
I'm willing to sacrifice.

Action

[identity profile] ufo-fanboy.livejournal.com 2011-07-17 09:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Let's hope it doesn't come to that.
survivethesiren: (real life has no appeal)

[She watches him for a moment.]

Better you, than me. I long ago learned that I was expendable.

Action

[identity profile] ufo-fanboy.livejournal.com 2011-07-22 08:47 am (UTC)(link)
[He shakes his head.]

I can't accept that. No one is expendable.
