Video | early hours 2.17

[ there's an amateur shaky-cam feel to the video, which is not pointed at Cash like it usually would be. It's not really pointed at anything at the moment - it's kind of pointed at everything. Her room is trashed, furniture overturned and belongings strewn everywhere. When the camera stops moving wildly, there's mostly floor, and a corner of what appears to be a blanket. ]

My hair is falling out! [ it’s obviously Cashmere’s voice, though it’s taken on a crazy edge from not sleeping and the general panic that’s set in. She sounds totally off-kilter. The camera swings again, stopping on a pile of bright blonde hair that yanked straight out while she was brushing it. Maybe this seems like a fairly insignificant event to other people, but from her tone it's obviously very upsetting to her. ]

Something’s happening. Something bad is happening.

[ More camera movement, and this time she accidentally catches a glimpse of her hand - long fingernails and unnaturally white skin. ]

One of you did this to me. And I am going to find you. And I’m going to kill you.

[He squints at the video.]

Calm down, okay?

[Could anyone blame her for not being calm? It does look really bad--pretty damn creepy, actually. But all the more reason not to freak out too much.]

Why do you think somebody made you sick? You probably just caught something.

[Said something still looks pretty damn creepy and life-threatening, but that's almost normal where Firo's from.]

[ please enjoy more shaky cam. floor. overturned table. wall. ceiling. ]

Come here and make me calm down. [ don't bother because she won't let you into the room but what else is there to say? ]

Do you think this is a flu? Does your hair fall out when you get the flu?

Not the flu, but other things do all the time.

[Or so he assumes. He's not a doctor, which is why he probably shouldn't be saying these things in the first place.]

No matter what it is, coming right outta the gate saying you're gonna kill people probably isn't gonna help you out too much.

Why? Wouldn't be the first time I've killed someone.

[He sighs and runs his hand through his hair, as if he's so put-upon even though he's the one who chose to start talking in the first place.]

Then hopefully that's gonna make this pretty easy for you to figure out, but I'll still go through it slow.

I'm gonna take a wild guess that the people you killed didn't really appreciate it, huh? So do you think people are gonna help you if you say you'll kill 'em?

[At least, she looks like she needs help to him.]

[ this is disconcerting. ]

Any other symptoms? [ What else does she need to look out for? ]

[ there's a long silence, some shuffling noises. ]

I'm hungry.

Fuck, I hope you're not turning into a zombie. You're not craving brains, or anything, right?

No.

[ probably not..? hopefully not? ]

Nothing tastes right.

[ Sharon knows that when she gets sick, her taste buds go out of whack. Nothing tastes right, but her hair normally doesn't fall out. ]

Can you keep food down? [ An illness in this place could end up debilitating, especially without antibiotics. ]

(It's probably the only time Newt's gonna be willing to put himself on video anytime soon. The kid's kind of a wreck himself. Patchwork hair that looks like entire clumps had been pulled out but fresh skin was healed over and peach fuzz growing back in. There were still patches of hair that was just fine that had been cut short so his head didn't look quite as- weird.

Then there's the bags and obvious weight loss but that's not really the point here. When he sees Cashmere's video, he gets a little freaked because he is so not okay with any of his friends being in this state.

Also he's kind of managed to work out that Cashmere does care about her appearance. A lot. Even before this video He doesn't think it's dumb either. He'd been pretty upset about his own hair when he'd gotten back to Hadriel. So this is kind of a personal matter that he can definitely relate to. He hopes the sight of his own hair might calm her down and maybe not make her feel so bad - maybe.)

Hey, it's okay, Cash. Lookit my hair. See?

(Comes his soft voice, eyes earnest. It's not him trying to say 'see how it's not so bad?' it's more him trying to make her feel okay about talking to him with this. Maybe.

God he's really under qualified for comforting girls.)

You alone right now?

[ the camera moves again, still not pointed at her but he seems to have her attention. it doesn't make her feel any better, but she feels a little less insane. she's not the only one. ]

Something bad is happening.

I think I'm going to hurt someone.

[ she doesn't answer his question, not directly. she's alone because even though she doesn't know what is going on, she knows no good will come from it. ]

(His heart's thumping hard. He had hoped it'd distract her, that maybe she had just been upset but now it's clear that isn't quite the case. It hits hard and straight to home. He'd felt all too similarly in his worse days.

There's nothing to be done, he realizes a bit miserably. He's not enough of an optimist to think that there could be something, anything.)

Do you want me to...

(He trails off, no clue what he had even thought he was going to ask. He bites at the corner of his lip, anxiety climbing fast and harsh in his gut.

Actually, he did know what he was about to ask. He just- he didn't know Cashmere well enough to ask her that sort of thing. Asking someone if they want to be killed is usually a little bit of a touchy subject.)

No.

[ doesn't want him to come over, doesn't want his help - whatever form it might come in.

and then there's just breathing on her end, while she tries to get a better grasp on any of what's happening. she can feel parts of herself slipping away, replaced by something less human. something darker. ]

I'm going to figure it out.

...Okay.

(His voice is quiet, gentle. He's been there before. Recently, too recently, and he understands this on a personal level. He knows not to tell her how to deal with her own problem. If she wanted his help, she'd let him know. Just like he had let Tommy know.

I'm going to figure it out.

The words echo in and out of his brain and he shuts his eyes. I'm going to figure it out. Yeah, he had thought that too. Problem is, some things couldn't be figured out. He shakes himself hard and no- no this.

This wasn't a good thing. Not for her, not for him. He felt a horrible itch under his skin and that was a bad sign. It had his pinky idly twitching and he took a deep, grounding breath. Come on, Newt. Pull it together. Cashmere needed help.)

Please. Let me know- let me know if you need anything, Cashmere. You're not alone.

(Despite the waver in his voice, it's clear enough he's sincere.)

Do you- um - want a distraction?

(It's a fruitless question. There are some things you couldn't be distracted from.)

[yeah, someone doesn't appear to be all that impressed by cashmere's dramatic threats. in fact, he's looking pretty worked up and irritable himself right now, to be honest.

... this conversation is sure to go well between them, obviously.]

Shut up, no one gives a fuck about your hair!

[ W O W that was rude. the camera moves around again, like she needs to re-position it to properly yell back. ]

You seem to care a lot for someone who doesn't care.

[cliff doesn't bother with any re-positioning himself, but he does narrow gold eyes down at his phone in clear displeasure, voice a touch quieter now but no less heated for it when he answers.]

Your voice is giving me a fucking headache.

I have a nice voice. [ that's almost to herself, like she needs the reminder. ]

But if you don't like it, you can stop talking to me at any time. I don't even know you. You're the one who is so interested in me.

[and now she's getting treated to some quality eye rolling because, let's face it, clifford is kind of an expert at that sort of thing. at putting so much effort into not giving a shit.]

Don't flatter yourself. [he tells her flatly, before offering a small shrug.] Or do, I guess. You're the only one who's going to.
