A cry for help

[a distress call has been tracked across the void, finally leading back to the source. a hulking crippled ship, teeming with hostile alien life, now lies before you.

what do you do? do you dive in or hang back? are you here to learn, play, build, or observe?

however you choose to proceed, your audience is out there somewhere, watching.]



ooc: here is a good ol' themed mingle to get you all started! and don't feel limited by the prompts and what they describe--they're just there as idea-starters, so feel free to go anywhere and do anything.

have fun!

[Cole's dressed in a few layers more than usual, to try and provide some protection against attack, and he's carrying knives. He crouches down to her level.]

Would Cullen let you go?

Um... well...

[ No. Most likely not after what happened earlier. But she's seeking out others to tag along with. Not going alone this time. Regardless, Cullen would most likely disapprove. ]

You've seen what I can do! I can help with my healing!
killedwithlove: (Cole)

[personal profile] killedwithlove 2015-06-22 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
[Cole keeps looking at her.]

Will Cullen get angry at me if I take you with me? Because Cullen doesn't like me much, so I don't want to hurt him or make him upset.

And I won't need healing.

[ She doesn't answer his question, swaying her arms to her side nervously. Angry? Probably... he wasn't happy when Jove allowed her to come along deeper into the ship. ]

How do you know? What if you get hurt?

[Cole caught her hands and held them. Under his nails was dirty, dark crescents of engine grease and worse.]

They can't see me. I don't let them see me.

I know you want to come and help, but sometimes, the people back home are doing the more important job. They give everyone something to come back to.

[ Elize lets him hold her hands and slumps her shoulders in disappointment. There's going to be no further argument from her about tagging along, knowing she has pretty much lost. She thinks she understands what he's telling, but she still sounds letdown. ]

...And that's my job? To stay behind.
killedwithlove: (Cole)

[personal profile] killedwithlove 2015-06-25 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
No, Your job is to provide healing when people come back injured, and give hope and strength to those who go, with the thought that you are safe and will be there when they return. That they must return for you.

Your job is hope. It just means you need to stay behind to do it.

[personal profile] princessia 2015-06-25 07:00 am (UTC)(link)
[ Healing the injured as they come in and out of the ship is something she's already doing. The thought of being a goal for people to return to is new to her however. She feels uncertain, but listens to his words carefully. ]

Would it give you hope if I stayed here?
killedwithlove: (Cole)

[personal profile] killedwithlove 2015-06-25 07:32 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. I'll know you're safe. And I'll know I have to return safely, or it will hurt you.

[He means every word he tells her.]
princessia: (21)

[personal profile] princessia 2015-06-29 06:00 am (UTC)(link)
[ She breathes out an almost inaudible sigh. ]

...fine. I'll wait here.

[ Elize is only being obedient, not quite fully understanding the importance of her "job" yet. She doesn't know what would happen if she were allowed to come along, but she's confident enough in her own abilities to think she'd be safe enough. ]
killedwithlove: (Wistful)

[personal profile] killedwithlove 2015-06-30 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
Good.

[He strokes a hand over her hair fondly.]

I'll come see you when I get back.
princessia: (skit - 01)

[personal profile] princessia 2015-07-04 07:24 am (UTC)(link)
Yes.

[ Very briefly, she manages a small vague smile up at him. Still, she's somewhat disappointed being unable to accompany him. ]

I'll do my best out here.

[ Waiting for him, helping others... ]

[personal profile] killedwithlove 2015-07-04 07:26 am (UTC)(link)
I know you will. Healers are so important. Precious.

I will be back.

[He stands and then he fades from view as he moves off.]
