[Claire has been missing for a while now, and she's completely disoriented about waking up in the spaceship...

Again.

The pod opens and the petite blonde crawls out, first confused, and then hit with a wave of unmanageable terror. How long had she been in there? Had she skipped hundreds or thousands of years again? Is everyone already long dead and gone?

Hyperventilating and scrambling to the exit, Claire steps out into the rain. If no one is at the ship, she'll be sprinting down to the town to find someone she recognizes. Anyone. Anyone at all.]

[Later: Public | Video]

[Claire still looks reasonably startled, but the stubbornness in her is keeping it as hidden as possible. She has the look on her face like one does when they are being brave because they have to be.]

Okay.. [She takes a shallow, sharp breath.] How long have I been gone?


((OOC: The answer is weeks to a month. Anyway, Claire's back now and I am looking to get her involved in plots again. Everyone I dropped threads with, please send me a PM, IM, or plurk and lemme know what you want to do with them. <3 SO glad to be back. Sorry everyone. ;_;))

[A flare of relief in the optics.]

There was an attack by the Authorities. I'd thought... [Well, never mind what he'd thought.]

The ship is losing power. Do you have lodgings in the Old City?

[breakablegirl]

[Aw. She nods a little.] Yeah. Yeah, I've got a place. Was there another attack? I was.. Around for the first one.

..It looks like we've got a lot more people here now.

[knightoflight]

No. Just the one from the Authorities. But there was a fog, that may have been another attack. It affected your kind...strangely.

[He nods.] More are waking. There seems to be no pattern to it, still.

[breakablegirl]

[Her mouth falls into a thin line at the new info.]

A fog? How did it affect.. My kind? [Could it be responsible for me being a pod-person again? :|]

[knightoflight]

...strangely. Some got more aggressive, some got more...giddy? It did not seem lethal, but it was distressing.

[breakablegirl]

[Maybe that explains some of it.. Though she isn't sure she'd be affected at all by this mysterious fog.] Huh.

You think the OA might have been involved with that?

[knightoflight]

My theory? If it had been a deliberate attack, the fog, they would have followed it up with an assault.

I suspect it is merely a peril of their war.

[breakablegirl]

Yeah. Maybe.

Anything else going on?

[knightoflight]

[Wing gives an easy shrug.] I am no tactical commander. But it seems logical.

Loki is conducting an experiment. And others, I believe, are working on trying to stabilize the ship.

...can I ask what happened?

[breakablegirl]

[Suspicious-face.] What kind of experiment?

[She pauses, looking a little troubled. Claire shrugs.] I don't really know. I woke up in my pod again.

[knightoflight]

He can apparently create a space bridge.

[Wing sounds impressed, but believing.]

You don't recall returning to the pod? Can I ask what your last memory was?

[breakablegirl]

[Space bridge sounds very sci-fi to her. Too sci-fi. She's talking to a giant sentient robot and space bridge sounds too out there.] What's a space bridge supposed to be?

I don't. I remember falling asleep in my room. Then I woke up in there.
