video; un: operator - 8/20

[It’s been four days since the Operator arrived in this strange place. Four days of keeping to themselves, careful not to broach any of the half-formed memories floating through a mind that they know can’t be theirs. There’s no point in getting attached, after all. Surely the Lotus is searching for them and will soon be there to help them escape this too-weak body.

At least, that’s what they had assumed for the first day. But then that day had become two, and then three, and then four. And now the Operator is forced to grapple with the possibility that the Lotus is not coming for them. That they are alone. And that, for the foreseeable future, they are trapped in this fragile shell.

They do not take it well.]


Where is the Lotus? [Their demanding tone of their voice is largely negated by how weak they sound. Their face, too, is gaunt and hollow-eyed, even as their brow furrows in frustration.] She should’ve been in contact by now. Does she… does she just not care?

[They’re getting carried away. Funny how they seem to do that in this form. It’s just their luck that its brain would be as overly sensitive as its body. They take a deep breath, trying to get back on track.]

Does anyone know if there are any manner of communication jammers or cloaking devices engaged on or around this station? Or anything else that might make someone within it difficult to track?

Also, I think this body might be dying.

Don't think there's any jammers - we just don't have much of anythin' in the way of communiations at all.

Also you're, uh, you're probably not in the universe that you were before.

So I'm afraid they might not be out there at all.

[ He sounds honestly apologetic and remourseful. ]

Uh - what do you mean this body might be dyin'?

Listen, I don’t know about any of that other stuff you mentioned, but that whole oops I’m dying bit seems way too important to off-handedly mention last! Are you hurt?
iustitia: (maybe we should totally just stab caesar)

[personal profile] iustitia 2018-08-22 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, as long as you're inhabiting it, that body might as well be you now. Welcome to your new meat prison! Unless you've always had it, and you're just making a mind/body distinction or something.

Alright, so. Stupid question, but have you been doing anything besides sleeping?
iustitia: (why are you dressed so scary)

[personal profile] iustitia 2018-08-22 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
I. Hm. Okay. This is a wiggler basic thing and usually goes without saying, but if you're new to having a body, I gotta ask.

What about eating?
iustitia: (you're fat because I hate you)

[personal profile] iustitia 2018-08-22 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
You should get on that. I think it might solve some of your problems.

nnnnope.
it sounds kind of robotic though?
or at least like. sci-fi-ish. you know

oh. uh. three days...
it could be sickness?
but it could also be a lot of things.
i'm really sorry if this sounds... condescending? or anything like that
but have you been drinking water? or eating?

do you know what that is
wingstosee: (shouldntsay)

okay uh.
i think we figured it out?? haha
don't worry then! there's plenty to eat and drink here.
there's a cafeteria and it has these fancy food machines? and they can make just about anything you can think of.

do you... know good things to eat?
maybe i should go with you to help.
