◌ 022 ◌ The power of belief brings even monsters into existence

[The scream that comes directly after the CAT's strange message makes Fuu's head snap up from where she'd been resting it on her hand, staring vacantly across the street. Eyes wide, she at once focuses her gaze towards what had been the object of her fixation for the past two weeks- and sees a woman's body collapsing outside the White Rabbit, part way into the street like she'd been about to cross-.]

Ahhh--!

[A thin scream of her own erupting from her, she runs over to the person-- no, not just any person. That hair...
With shaking hands she tentatively kneels beside her and reaches over to touch her shoulder, brush away the hair, glimpse at her face--]

No- no, no. Oh, Miss Ardes-

[Unsteadily she tries to find a pulse, but it's impossible with her hands shaking like this, and she knows she shouldn't move an injured person... So she takes out her CAT and broadcasts in the hologram mode to all the residents.]

I- I need help! A d-doctor, anyone- please! Please. Out s-side the White Rabbit, Miss Ardes- she- she's just collapsed- she's not moving-

In coming here again? No, nothing except for the man in black again. If we could but get to him, I'd bet we'd get more answers than even if we got to 'PL'...

Mm. More about the process of getting us here, I'd think. That would be useful.

Any ideas who that might be? One of the men in the video, perhaps?

[identity profile] wind-of-reason.livejournal.com 2011-07-08 06:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Could be. There had to be some reason that video was shown to us...

Mister Mu speculated that PL could mean 'Project Lead'. The young man called the older 'Proctor', so it's not him. And the younger seemed to have some authority, so, it could be.

It's made us aware of those two, at least.

Makes sense… He did seem more in control of the situation.

[identity profile] wind-of-reason.livejournal.com 2011-07-11 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
Right! He did. And the Proctor seemed a bit hesitant about whatever is going on.

But there is still no getting at them without help. The CATs can't be broken into, the people who helped us last time won't acknowledge us...

[personal profile] desertdaggers 2011-07-11 10:55 am (UTC)(link)
That… could mean we're not the only ones whoever's in control can control. Maybe, if we could get them to remember…

[She nods thoughtfully.]

If we could! How can we, though... It's clear that Luministi has everything up on us when it comes to messing with memory.

[He nods after a moment, reluctant to admit it.] You said your journal helped last time, didn't you? …Maybe if we spread the word… [looking around] Signs on the walls, perhaps?

[identity profile] wind-of-reason.livejournal.com 2011-07-12 06:33 am (UTC)(link)
Signs? What would they say?

[She's not sure what he's getting at, but he could be on to something...]
desertdaggers: (the shine of preparation)

[personal profile] desertdaggers 2011-07-12 06:37 am (UTC)(link)
Anything that might spur people's memories. Or get them to question what's going on around them, I imagine.

[identity profile] wind-of-reason.livejournal.com 2011-07-12 06:42 am (UTC)(link)
Mmm.

It's certainly a different approach from trying to talk to them about it. A con would be that it's even more passive. But perhaps when the people appear back in town, they'll wonder where the signs came from and it will catch their attention?

Ohhh, but I wish we could have Miss Verita's help with this!
desertdaggers: (you don't say)

[personal profile] desertdaggers 2011-07-12 06:48 am (UTC)(link)
Better than being brushed off.

Particularly if we make sure to make the signs are striking!

Mm. We'll have to try to get her attention for sure.

[identity profile] wind-of-reason.livejournal.com 2011-07-12 07:00 am (UTC)(link)
If Miss Verita has any journalistic spark left in her, she'd have to investigate what's up with them.

I think it might be worth a try, Hawk! [If nothing else, at least it will keep them busy and give them a sense of purpose for a bit.]
desertdaggers: (you don't say)

[personal profile] desertdaggers 2011-07-12 07:05 am (UTC)(link)
And that would be a great help. Alright, when we see her again, we'll definitely have to get her attention!

[Just what he was thinking! He grins and gets up, holding out a hand to help her up as well.] Then shall we look for supplies?

[identity profile] wind-of-reason.livejournal.com 2011-07-12 07:18 am (UTC)(link)
[With a shy smile she takes his offered hand, and once she's on her feet she nods with determination.]

Yes- but... will Miss Ardes be all right here? Perhaps we should at least find a blanket to cover her with until... ... until something can be done for her.
desertdaggers: (the shine of preparation)

[personal profile] desertdaggers 2011-07-12 07:25 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, let's do that. [off to find a blanket and come back, then]

[identity profile] wind-of-reason.livejournal.com 2011-07-12 07:37 am (UTC)(link)
[And with that duty done (there is so little else that they can do), they can go and start their project!]
