[ a graveyard. a prison. underwater, no less.

of course.

she should be angry. (but is she truly undeserving of punishment?)

elena should be livid, maybe. she can't quite access that emotion at the moment. she looks as composed and resolved as she possibly can, circumstances not withstanding, but clinging to her like a second skin is sadness. she is tired. hungry. worried. it doesn't matter. she can't afford to think about it, much less feel any of it. she can't process yet someone plans to hold her here for the rest of - there is only this moment. one step at a time. surely there are answers; she just needs to find them. play it smart. ]

I can't say I've given prison a lot of thought, but if I ever did? This is not exactly what I'd have in mind. ... Except for the jumpsuits. [ her lips quirk wryly into a faint and halfhearted smile. her attempt at levity is equally halfhearted. she feels heavy, heavier than the monitor that sits squarely at her ankle, but she is pushing past it. she needs to. the smile is initially brittle, but it remains steady. this hardly feels real. ] If there's anyone out there listening, I'm Elena. I'm new. Ish.

[ new to the prison world, but definitely not new to weird shenanigans, and that includes experiencing the multiverse. ]

I guess I just wanted to know what everyone's thoughts on this place are and how long they've been here, if they don't mind sharing. I've - [ she cuts herself off. blinks. blinks a few more times. ] Is that a robot?

[Kitty appears on screen, tilting her head and taking Elena in.]

Newish? Is that because you remember being here before or because you just feel old? [Which Elena is she speaking to? The one she came to respect even is she didn't get to know her terribly well or one of the ones who disappeared as quickly as they arrived or all new, possibly different Elena? Or Katherine pretending to be Elena for that matter. It's like a multiple choice test up in here. Fill in the appropriate oval to proceed to the next round.]

[ wow, she is not old, kitty! she was a day away from celebrating her twenty-first birthday, assuming she's kept an accurate track despite timeline distortions. regardless - elena's on the move. it's not as if she wants to stay in the graveyard, and she figures eventually, she'll stumble on something or someone. her thoughts effectively come to a screeching halt at kitty's greeting. ]

I - I'm sorry, I should've specified. I meant this isn't the first time I've been taken somewhere I shouldn't be.

[ the rest is news to her and it shows, expression shifting into something quietly bewildered. ]

I've been here before?

[Still older than Kitty, so there! Though not by much.]

It'd be a pretty weird thing to specify if you weren't expecting people you've never met to know you. [Elena being abducted before doesn't exactly sound out of the realm of what could be normal for her from what Kitty knows, but something she could compare to an underwater prison? It does make her wonder, but first things first.]

[A nod.] A few times. Some of the stays were longer than others.

	[ ... well, true. kitty is making several incisive points here, but there's one elena is focusing on over the rest. for all that she's experienced, for all that she's witnessed, there are still things that manage to catch her by surprise. she doesn't know if that's a good thing or not. ] Okay, wow. Just how many times? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I haven't been keeping track. Five or six maybe? Kind of depends if you count rearriving with memories separately too. Which is probably a confusing thing to hear on top of all the other confusing things. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
