CW: CHARACTER DEATH


[ The woman in the video is in her 30s, her distinctive hair loose around her shoulders, the white stripes making her pale skin quite noticeable. She shifts nervously as the message begins to broadcast, her expression uneasy while her eyes don't quite focus on the camera. Sure, she's looking in that general direction, she's just... not actually seeing anything. After a few moments, she finally speaks, southern drawl thick with nerves that make the words waver slightly. ]

Has anyone... Has anyone died recently? Here, on the station?

[ A pause. ]

Has anyone else died and woken up again?

[ The only one. Well, that figures. She always had been unique, whether she'd wanted to be or not. The only mutant with her particular mutation, the only person to die and wake up again on the station... Yeah, she'd really rather just be one with the crowd right about now, thanks.

The lack of condolences and platitudes is refreshing, really. There's been a lot of the same since she sent out this message, and it's nice to have someone just getting down to business. It makes it easier for Rogue herself to deal with her current situation. ]

My memories are perfectly clear. You can ask me any questions you need to.

[That's good, on multiple levels. Erika has little trouble trusting the woman's permission - she's often in the business of worrying about people, but rarely in taking responsibility for strangers' welfare. It makes things easier in general.]

Can you describe the time between dying and waking up again? Was it immediate, or was there any sense of a period between the two?

I think it was about 20 minutes, but it's hard to say exactly. That's just my best guess. I could tell that time had passed.

[ She could tell that she'd been dead, especially after realizing that she wasn't in the gym anymore. It had been a little bit horrifying, but mostly she'd just been numb. ]
