Who: Lucy and Shannon
What: Waking up.
Where: Space Station.
Rating/Warnings: None, will update if needed.

Lucy woke up in a panic. Floating was a sign that something had gone very wrong in her mind. She was convinced that the man had found a way back from the dead and this was another one of his tricks. She looked all around as her eyes adjusted to the strange red light, hoping for a weapon or at least some supplies. She had no such luck, but someone else was there. A woman. She eyed her suspiciously. She hadn't seen her on the island before. It could be another victim of the man or a part of his trick. Lucy wouldn't wait to find out. "Hey." She yelled. "Wake up."

And they had no idea if they were safe. There was no way to know. She understood where she came from, really she did. She moved further down the hall. But if they were from the same Island... "Is this really any worse than back there?" So far she had seen no evidence of the Man. But that didn't mean he wasn't there.

Shannon smiled. "Oh, I know. Perhaps one of her movies had prompted the dream. I don't know. It could have been a crazy pregnancy dream." She followed Lucy's gaze to the water tunnel. "Only way to find out is to follow the tube. Do you want to use the lack of gravity to do it, or do you want to go the long way?"

"I guess it depends on where your back there was like." Lucy commented. "Though known dangers are usually better than the unknown ones." The man's surprises had been the worst and now that he was dead, those were supposed to be done with.

"The long way is a relative term." Lucy teleported herself down to the end of the hallway, curious as to how the woman would react. She wasn't sure if her mother teleported at that young of an age - but if Shannon knew Loki, she would have known he could do it. She peeked around the corner to see what lay ahead. "There's no obvious traps or people ahead."

"I guess I'm too used to the dangers the island possesses. I'd almost prefer them to this." She could definitely say she preferred her feet on the ground.

Shannon was a little shocked, but not too. She had seen it done, and had it done, more than a few times. "You don't have to stay with me if you can teleport. I'll be fine." She didn't want to hold the girl up if she could move faster. "If you can see to do it follow the water, I'll slowly do the same."

Lucy had learned a few things. Shannon wasn't overly surprised but she couldn't do it herself. She knew she had a wide variety in ancestry, the fae from her father and everything else from her mother. What could her possible grandmother do? It was interesting.

"We might be safer together. Two sets of eyes and all that." She wanted to solve this puzzle if she could.

	Shannon had to wonder if the girl simply wanted to keep her eyes on her. Regardless they were going in the same direction, if Lucy didn't want to split up they wouldn't split up. "Alright, that makes sense." Relenting. She couldn't believe she was relenting with a stranger. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lucy nodded and floated along for a moment. "So, tell me more about your island. It doesn't sound like the best place. Did you ever think about leaving it?" She tried to keep her tone light, even though she was fishing for information, anything else that might point to it being the same island. "You know, before being taken here."

	"No. I'm not much of a fantasizer and there was no way to get off of it, or leave unless you weren't from there to begin with. I was born there." She figured mentioning the doors might make her sound like a crazy person, so she omitted them. Shannon pushed against the wall, and took aim for what looked like another door.

	"That must have sucked. It does explain why you stayed with people you couldn't trust." Lucy commented. It was sounding more and more like her island. No way to leave other than being sent somewhere else, or to some other time, by the man. She maneuvered herself slowly, occasionally touching a few buttons she passed by, to see if anything would happen. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I removed myself as far as possible and depended on myself alone, for a while. I might have earned the respect of..." She trailed off. She didn't want to give away too much. "Well let's just say he was well removed from them too, and leave it at that." She liked the girls initiative, and did the same, when she came on stairs. "Do we want stairs?"

The respect of Loki? The question was so close to bubbling out of her lips, but Lucy managed to keep it inside. She knew Shannon couldn't mean the respect of the man. Even if she wasn't really her grandmother, she didn't seem like the type to want to be respected by that monster.

She looked up the stairs. "It's worth a shot." She said. "This place must have had gravity at some point. Stairs would be useless without it."

Shannon knew she had to be curious. But there was only so much she would share at this point. She didn't have to remind herself that she didn't know this girl. She didn't think she was some construct of the Man, there was nothing to gain from attacking her. But she was still a stranger in a strange place.

"They will be easier to maneuver too. More handholds. The question is, do we go up or down?" Her instinct told her up. She didn't know why, but she did trust her gut.

	"In the old movies I've seen, the most important parts of a space station were usually up." Lucy shrugged. "Scifi's not the best guide, I know. But it's better than nothing." After all - before the island went to hell, she'd met people straight out of the movies. She'd even learned fighting skills from a few of them. "So, up?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I'm with you. And if anything we can go down if that doesn't work out." It wasn't like they were actually climbing anything. She pulled herself in the door and aimed for up. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lucy followed her lead. "Who knows? Maybe we think we're going up and we're actually going down. I wouldn't mind seeing an English sign right about now. Or some easy to follow diagrams." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That was a possibility. "Well, we're going toward the ceiling. So I think it's a safe bet it's up. But I've never been on a space station so you could be right." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It kind of feels like anything could be true here." That didn't feel as hopeful as it should to Lucy as she said it. There could be a life without the man or he could show up and shove them into outer space. (Reply to this) (Parent)
