VIDEO | Backdated to the 10th

[ The video comes to life but there's no face on the other end, just a handwritten note along with a sloppy signature. Some may recognize the last name, others may not, but she honestly doesn't care. She has questions. She wants answers (despite the fact they likely don't have them all). And she desperately wants to find her friends.

The handwritten note is just precaution. She remembers the Null, even if her memory is fuzzy. Just as she doesn't sign it with her full name or tag it with her name. ]

Run down, please. We were underground and not cooking in the sun last I remember.

I could also use some help acquiring some sunscreen SPF... I don't know, whatever the fuck will keep me from turning into a tomato, and a pair of sunglasses.

People do bad things too.

Yeah. Thanks.

They put us in a desert. How else to hit us where it hurts?

[She makes an affirmative noise.] Far as I can tell, everyone's actin' normal again. We're good on that front for now.

( Okay, that's something. )

"Everything's jumbled up" issues? ( She had that problem when she returned. Where everything that was locked up about Hadriel came flooding back alongside three years of her life back home.

Or something else? )

[The name sounds kinda familiar, but Ellie doesn't place it. She only knew Sharon as Sharon, and last names weren't really a common thing on her world. She'd never cared to remember them.]

good luck with the sunglasses we seem to be in even shorter fucking supply of EVERYTHING than usual
but hey! maybe you could like
build a hat out of trash

That's kind of par for the course.

Sometimes they don't know how not to.

Fear's not malicious enough to put us here just to hurt us. [ An act of desperation, however, and a few wrong moves, and maybe that's all he had left. A last ditch effort. It's too bad they're still fucking with them. ]

Silver lining. I hope people are stocking up.

Horribly. [ She presses her fingers to her temples, rubbing in clockwise circles. It all kind of hurts, as if someone poured a cleaning solution all over her brain to uncover its secrets. ]

I'm not just... There are so many fucking memories and they're all piled together because I've lived too many fucking lives. [ How many times has she been 7? and 8? 18? ] It's like someone took a film reel and cut it up.

A trash hat? It's not like I've sunk lower. Maybe if I can find a bunch of tinfoil, I can also make myself a shiny target.

And those are the ones that need weeded out.

They need help too. Some of them could see better.

You're too optimistic. Few ever try to see better, even with help. Even when someone pushes truth in their face. [ Her mother, Rose, did that. She tried to make nearly 100 men and women see the truth of the horrors they committed but they were blind and so they died.

People get one chance, in Sharon's book, and then it's to Hell they go. ]

Sometimes. But some people can. They shouldn't get left behind.

They shouldn't be sheep then.

Sometimes it's safer.

I dunno. He seems pretty malicious to me. [Logically, yes. This was just a last ditch effort to get them away from the Null attack. But when Girl's latched on to being angry at something, logic is a hard sell.]

I'd imagine the smart ones are. But I don't reckon a lotta the folks here got a mind for survival.

( The word yikes is applicable here, Kate thinks. The three years back home, the return, all of that was enough to make her lose track of things she once knew. Several lives, however that works, sounds...

Well. "Like someone took a film reel and cut it up." That's what Kate imagines it would be like. ) Want me to give you the rundown?

( She's not sure what, if anything, they could do for Sharon's memory problems, but she can at least try and give her the facts of everything that happened since Delight's betrayal. )

That's their problem. If they choose safety over the right thing then they get what they deserve.

He's desperate and thoughtless. [ She informs the girl before her expression sours a little. ] Those people are dumb, then. How many times do we have to be in a dire situation for them to start thinking intelligently?

I'd appreciate it. I hate how... much I've missed. [ And who. Fuck. Just fill her in, Kate. ]

Sometimes they can't.

Bullshit, ok.

Not really. Not when you can hear it.

Cults are pretty shitty like that.

[Rey can't say she's enjoyed her own personal run-in with them in her world. They're a very special breed of fucked up.]

Don't think that's much of a problem here. Not at the moment, anyway.
