a bumpy start! {glyphcomm + action}

[seeingyou]

You wake up to the sound of alarms and a distinct sensation of quaking, and you're quite obviously not where you're supposed to be. This room is strangely shaped, nothing you recognize, and you definitely don't remember how you got here. The room is bathed in soft red light, which might look pretty, except it's blinking in a way that you can probably guess signals danger.

There's a symbol on the back of your hand that you don't remember acquiring, either, but that's probably less important at the moment than the sound of the alarms shrieking and the prerecorded voice speaking over the intercom. It's one of those bland, agender voices, entirely too calm in tone for the message it's relaying:

WARNING
WARNING
IMPACT THREAT DETECTED
EVASIVE ACTION REQUIRED

There’s a loud crash and another violent shaking, as that impact threat collides with the ship’s hull. The warning message continues to repeat on a loop amidst the blaring of the alarm. All passengers should be conscious now, with the noise at such a high volume. Opening your cabin door reveals a nondescript hallway, with five cabin doors on each side for a total of ten on each floor; the doors to the empty cabins are unlocked and inside the cabins hold the same plain, basic furnishings as your own. Halfway into the hallway, there is a lift on one side and a set of stairs on the other.

Comments

"Bold of you to assume you can embarrass me. And I know how you decided to come at us. That's enough."

[sisterswitch]

"Sweetie, I said you were embarrassing yourself. Try to keep up." Jack punctuates her words with a saccharine smile.

[fuckregularpeople]

Jane meets Jack's eyes, glaring up at her in response. "Go ahead. Try me."

[sisterswitch]

Jack’s about to say something else sarcastic to Jane, but the ship suddenly shakes sharply, and Jack refocuses on staying upright. Once she’s back on secure footing, she replies: “Mm, maybe later. In case you hadn’t noticed, we’ve got something a little more important to deal with right now.”

You know. That crash landing Jane’s refusing to help with.

[fuckregularpeople]

"It's cute how you care when it's your own skin on the line." Jane's glare is hateful and she meets Jack's eyes as her lips curl upward. "Keep worrying about that."

Yeah, she's not going to do anything to ease the other woman's fears yet. Let her suffer.

[sisterswitch]

Jack isn't afraid, even about their impending possibly doom. It's just so tiresome to argue with someone who is wrong and refuses to see it, and Jack's done wasting her words on Jane.

"OK, Elsa, time to let it go!" she says, cheerily, over her shoulder, since she's turned away from Jane and taken hands with the two nearest people, focused on lending the ship whatever strength it gathers from this touchy-feely nonsense. She's done trying to correct Jane's wrong ideas about her. Haters gonna hate, and Jack's dealt with plenty of haters in her lifetime. Best thing to do is move on.
