[ things are wonky. lights aren’t working as they should, they flicker from time to time. everything is … obviously not as it should be. and the same could be said for her, though she’s alone in her cabin on the third floor. ]

Prometheus? Pandorum? Sunshine? Any of those sound familiar to anyone here? Usually when people end up in space, things get bad. Like. Bad.

[ Oblivious Devil is oblivious. ]

Prometheus is a terrible film and Ridley Scott should be ashamed for ruining his own franchise like that. The only acceptable sequel to Alien is Aliens.

[albatrossomen]

Is this one of those pop culture reference things?

[devilsheel]

[ okay, yes, she’ll squint at the un for a moment or two. moving on. ]

That’s actually a terrible opinion. And an insult to Fassbender. You should be ashamed.

[devilsheel]

A weak one, yeah. I’m guessing you’re not familiar with any of those films.

[albatrossomen]

Unfortunately I'm not familiar with any. I never realized what a problem that would become!

As for the bad you're not entirely wrong? Mostly it's just boring.

[dealwiththe]

“Shame” simply isn’t in my vocabulary, so I’ll just say it: Fassbender is overrated, though surprisingly well-cast as a *robot*.

[ Ahhh it’s nice to talk about dumb, familiar things with someone again. It’s been a long time!!! ]

[devilsheel]

I wouldn’t call it a problem. There are some places around the world where they don’t have access to films or TVs or even internet to watch from. You aren’t alone.

Oh. Have you been up here in space long? I guess I consider it bad because I’m not able to uh speak?

So. That’s a new. Bad. Thing.?

[devilsheel]

Maybe you think he’s overrated because you might be jealous of him? Insecurities?

I mean yeah, he’s good looking. For sure.

VIDEO;

[dealwiththe]

[ Oh no you did not! He immediately switches to video! Because this needs visual evidence!

He looks skeptical, one eyebrow raised. ]

Do I look like I’ve got anything to be insecure about?

[devilsheel]

[ he’s not going to get an immediate response. nope. he’s completely floored her, left her at a loss for words. that’s because she needs to wrap her mind around the fact that he’s alive.

it’s going to take her a minute. or three. don’t get too impatient, lucifer. ]

[dealwiththe]

[ He’s impatient! He kind of wants to see who’s on the other end of this, because he’s enjoying himself in a way he hasn’t in quite a long time. ]

I know, I often leave people speechless. It’s my natural magnetism.

[devilsheel]

[ he’s talking again, has that tone. she’s itching to get her hands on him, now, though not in that way.

chloe wets her lips. rubs her thumb in a circular motion against the side of her index finger as her hands hover in waiting to respond. ]

Yeah. You have a gift for it. I’m not really surprised.

How is this possible?

[dealwiththe]

[ Hmm. Interesting response, as if they know him. S q u i n t. ]

How is what possible? Me? That’s a bit flattering even for my ego, but then again I was crafted directly by the hand of God.

Or do you mean how is it possible to be here, in space? That, I couldn’t tell you. I just got here myself, direct from Hell.

[albatrossomen]

That is kind of you to say.

I have been on this voyage for I believe several months now. Time is a bit difficult to track without a solar cycle to rely on.

Oh, you too? I think another has recently been stricken with something similar. We seem to be currently experiencing some anomalous activity, if the past is anything to go by it should correct itself before too terribly long. If you are concerned there is a fully stocked infirmary on board.

videooooooo

[devilsheel]

Hell

[ but that’s all she sends via text anyway before the connection changes to video and there she is, her smile small and quite possibly trembling because — how?

chloe ignores the burn of tears threatening and raises a hand in a wordless greeting. that’s all she can manage. ]

[dealwiththe]

[ All it takes is one glimpse of her face, and Lucifer looks as if he’s been struck by lightning. The cockiness, the self-effacing grin, the whole attitude is gone in an instant, like it was never there.

He looks shattered. ]

Detective.

[ He breathes the word like a prayer, nearly drops his device in his haste to get up. He can’t talk to her like this. He has to see her, touch her, smell her. ]

Wh - where are you?

[devilsheel]

[ she can be seen and heard letting out an unsteady exhale. her mouth opens to reply, and then it closes.

there’s a faint sniffle. her head ducks. she hastily wipes her fingers under an eye and gets to typing, bottom lip caught between her teeth. ]

310.

[dealwiththe]

[ He looks briefly confused, but his questions will wait. Until he’s found her.

So he simply notes the room number and then he’s off, dropping his device for real this time. ]

Video: Lopez

[anormie]

[No, Ella doesn't have any idea this is Chloe, she's just jumping in cause you know: movies.]

Oh man, dude, you are missing thee [Yep, it's thee.] quintessential space horror movie there in Event Horizon, though. Like you wanna talk things in space going prettttttttty badly.

[11calls]

There's some times when it ends up okay though. Like Galaxy Quest.

[watchfulbalance]

[Hesitant:] Uhm, how bad are we talking here? And what's the sun got to do with it?

[devilsheel]

No solar cycle? Do you mean the sun and moon? Day and night?

There's another who can't speak? Strange. I'm not too worried about it. I mean if you say there's something going on, then maybe I can give it a few days.

text then video

[devilsheel]

[ ELLA? Shit. ]

Ella? Ella, it's me.

[ The video is enabled as she then appears, offers a small wave.]

[devilsheel]

Sometimes. Not always. But I guess we could be more optimistic here.

[devilsheel]

How bad? Bad. Like, death-bad. As for the sun, that's just the name of the movie. But the sun is dying and there's a crew that's put together to try and save it. Or reignited it. Something like that. Earth was freezing over.

Hopefully that's not the case with us being on this ship.
