[Rebecca's not sure how she takes this ominous losing of Sectors or how far she should really be worried, but her brain's back in action mode and prepared for the worst. It's one of the few times she feels a pang of what it was like to be back home, when each passing second might be your last. That reminder that she's alive, not a resetable piece of data. That loss of the safety net that she had begun to cling to here.

She opens a feed and claps, dressed in a tank top with her hair pinned up. The room behind her looks disassembled, like she's in the midst of packing for vacation. In a way, she is, in at least that she's got her bag full of necessities ready by the door.]


So we're losing two Sectors. I know we all know to move it, but in those Sectors are some places that are going kaput for God knows how long. The hospital, the Shack, the convenience store and the pet cafe are in them. Now would be the time to root through them for anything to take with us, food - supplies, especially for pets that are getting displaced with us.

Ton, you and yours at the clinic - will you be alright on any supplies or should we loot the hospital while we still have a chance?

[Private to Aidan Reilly]

I want to say goodbye to the gardens, before maybe they're next to go. Meet me there?

[Private to Spike]

Will you be okay without the Shack? Is there enough blood to move for you to keep alright for a little while?

I'll manage. Can't starve to death anyway. [ His tone is tense, short, chainsmoking. The latter might not be anything unusual. ]

Right, but... that can't be fun. [Though, well. She guesses you do technically have a living supply available, in the form of other people.]

Neither is spending months in a fishbowl under the sea, but what can you do? [ His tone softens. He knows that she cares, genuinely.]

You don't have to worry about me, Rebecca. I'll be fine.

You sure? There's just... time for the Shack yet, if you need to take anything with you - please do it. And I'm sorry that... it's one of the places we won't have tomorrow.

It's just a place. Not even that. [ None of this is real and even if it was, good luck getting him to feel sentimental about a geographical location. ]

I got bigger things to worry about, anyway. Old friend back in town and all.

Yeah, the douchebag. [Sorry, not sorry.]

Not what you want to hear, I'm sure - and you probably heard this already - but you can do better than that guy. You are doing better than that guy.

I know I'm doing better, but he isn't. [ So, you know. ] He was around long before any of you even knew what I was. I owe him this much.

If things had turned out differently, I'd be where he is right now.

[ For as long as he's been here, you'd think he'd be less rattled by this but if anything this has shaken him deeper than expected. This is his home now. This is where he met literally everyone he's friends with right now, where he met Rebecca and Kanji and Mal and all the people that aren't here anymore and what will happen to them if this doesn't take a turn for the better soon? What will happen with his kids- their kids?

So, he's a bit choked up when she calls. ]


Yeah... yeah, I'll be there.

Meet you there, babe.

[And she'll be there, standing among the tall grass and enjoying a lazy breeze that skims her skin like nothing wrong's on the horizon. How weird it's going to be tomorrow when places are just gone, when this simulation begins its decline - maybe she's just cynical but she knows what it's like to... to lose a lot of data, to have it start to fold in on itself and it's never good. You tend to eject, to repair, to lose far more than you save in the end.

Maybe that's why her eyes are watery. Maybe this really is the end.]

[ It doesn't take long before he joins her, hurrying up his steps when he sees her until he's practically broken into a run the last few yards, colliding in a tight, wordless hug. He's scared. Terrified, because he doesn't know what's happening and even if he did he wouldn't understand it because it's all fucking tech and he's an idiot and will he wake up tomorrow and she'll be gone? ]

[She hears him coming and quickly turns, arms tightly wrapping around him and it's only then that she realizes how close she was to a quiet sob as she lets it out against his chest. Rebecca has the experience pulling together in crisis, knowing how to run and hide in a more expansive world than this. This is a cage, a corner, a room that's losing pieces of it at God knows what hours.

She presses her face in against his neck, refuses to let go.]
Aidan... Aidan, I'm scared.

I know... me too.

[ He holds her so tight there should probably be some concern for breathing and rib-breaking, but he can't find it in himself to care. This is scary in ways he never imagined - the implications so many he hasn't even begun to filter through them. He wants to say that they'll be fine, but that would be a lie. ]

What are we gonna do?

[info]needmymp3

I don't... I don't know. [Why is that all she can find herself saying today?]

I'm so fucking scared and I don't know how to deal with this. I can't, not alone. [She's not about to let him go any time soon either, her hands clasped so tightly around his back that her knuckles are white. She can barely breathe but that's nothing to do with the hug, that's the panic in her chest. She was finally happy and she got too used to it.]

We have to stay together. No matter what.

[ He's glad that she's taking control of the situation, feels like maybe he should've done something too but he can't find it in him to deal. There's too many implications here and with Tyki back, of course he's caught off guard. ]

Are you alright?

[info]needmymp3

[Yeah, Tyki can go fuck himself. She's displeased AF with everything.]

Not really, you? I'm in Bad News Mode and packing for a roadtrip, same thing I did back home when it all went to shit. I just get bad vibes. And I don't know what else to do.

I- don't know. Every time I think I've gotten a handle on this place, something like this happens. [ And tech isn't his thing. ] I'm at a loss, Rebecca. I could get a go-bag ready but where would we even go?

[info]needmymp3

Six was affected first, they're taking out one and five - I'm not gonna move over to four or three. Maybe one or zero, to be as far away from the detaching elements as possible? I don't know. I just... I don't know where to go, Reid. It's like we're trapped in a basement with a tornado overhead.

[She sighs.] I'm scared. Really fucking scared.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)


[info]thisiscalm
2017-08-09 09:43 pm UTC (link)
Yeah. [ He sighs. Scared is a good word for it and sure, he does some of his best work under pressure but usually he has at least an inkling of what it is he's supposed to do. At this point, he's not sure even Hotch would know. ]

I'm not sure what we can do. Normally I'd say create evacuation zones and try to keep everyone calm, but we don't even know what's going to happen. I suppose the best we have to hope for is that they use a similar security system like they have in the past and transfer us, but if the take over really is genuine-

Maybe we're out of places to run. Maybe... maybe this is it and we need to be prepared for that possibility.

Yeah, it sounds... like a bad end if we were to go anywhere else. It'd mean that we're back in the system we finally escaped from. [No longer with sympathetic overlords, no longer able to daydream about getting out.

She takes a long pause, her voice quiet:]
Maybe this is it. There could be worse ends, I guess.

Are you offering to loot a hospital with me? Because of course the answer is yes.

It's something for the bucket list, y'know?

I call dibs on riding a rolling IV line around like a chariot.

There's no need to call dibs when we will clearly be having a race. I'll meet you over there in a bit.

[And whenever she does arrive she'll find him happily looting away, going through items in storage closets and stuffing them into a duffel bag.]

Why can't we do this sort of thing every day?

[She's there with a few bags of her own, tossing them down off a shoulder with a laugh.]

Casual Looting Tuesdays might work better, give us a few days to get excited for the next haul. [She gets to work too, scratching her head briefly on where to start before simply grabbing at the necessities.]

That's the spirit. [He glances over her should to see what she's grabbing and nods approvingly.] Just worry about the basics for now. I can work with those if we have an actual medical emergency.

2017-08-09 07:28 pm UTC (link)
Alright. [And that she does, filling the bags.

Of course, what's a little fun without reality on your shoulders?]
So how's our uncertain future making you feel? I'm staying in stressed preparation mode to cope, personally.
