Who: Alex Russo and YOU
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Common room
When: A couple of days into the event
[The feed crackles on, and out comes Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off" at full volume. Someone found the Marsiva's music collection.]
Oh my god, why did no one tell me Taylor Swift gets good in the future?
[Once the song ends, she'll be playing the rest of the 1989 album. Sorry, Floots.]
[Filtered to the SS Paisley crew, and any other close friends.]
Hey, sound off. You guys all still in one piece?

[Suddenly, her tone becomes hesitant.]
... Did you see something? In my head?
no subject
[He swallows]
I was thinking about more what you saw...in my head. I remember...bits and pieces.
no subject
[Awkward.......]
Listen, you don't need to explain it. You're a great guy, and I know you wouldn't ever hurt me on purpose.
no subject
[Ever. That was his worst nightmare, really. Losing control of that and killing the people he loved.]
I just- it was still part of my dream- so I'm really sorry!
no subject
[She smiles at him, genuine but still concerned.]
We've all got crap.
no subject
[Meanwhile he's not even sure what to make of this. Usually even the nice people at least want an EXPLANATION when the 14th tries to attack them]
...Are you sure?
no subject
no subject
[But he'll decided...to go with the benefit of the doubt and believe the best option, even if it made zero sense to him. He lets out a sigh]
...Alright.
I'm still sorry, even if it was Atroma's doing. I don't- I usually do everything I can to stop that sort of thing from happening.
no subject
I believe you. Really, dude. Like, out of everyone I know here you're probably the person I'd worry the least about getting hurt by.
no subject
...Thanks?
[He shakes his head]
I believe you, I do- I'm just...not used to people being as calm about it?
no subject
I just don't...
[She shakes her head. She has a weird relationship with deadly threats, and she's not quite ready to examine that with him.]
Like, yeah it was freaky, but I'm not scared of you or anything now. I've known you for literally years and never gotten hurt. It's not like anything's changed.
[She tries to give him an encouraging look, but something's still nagging at her.]
... How did it know that song?
no subject
Ah...
I...I heard it in a dream of yours. Maybe he got it from that.
no subject
Did they try to...?
[Hurt you, she's about to ask, but then she realizes - she'd be apologizing too, if they had. And they aren't even a part of her. Just a part of her memory.]
no subject
It just was on a television, but your...your body was....on the couch.
no subject
... Oh shit.
[She never imagined that was even a possibility. After all, in every room so far the occupant had been up and talking to her. She figured hers was the same.
What the fuck, Atroma.]
Allen, I'm...
[Sorry? Does that cover it? She can't think of another word to say.]
no subject
...If the 14th attacking you isn't my fault, then you don't need to apologise for me seeing that.
[Sure, he still feels guilty about what happened but- hey. He ain't gonna have a friend feel bad for having their trauma put on display]
Atroma's the one doing this.
no subject
[She tries to say it flippantly, but there's a quiver to her voice.]
I hadn't even told Stef what happened. Not all of it, at least.
1/2
[fuckers.]
no subject
[But he pauses, debating if he should say anything. Finally, he just goes with it]
But, well...I...I don't know exactly what kind of relationship you and Stef- [Nope, can't do it] - Stefan have, and I'm not saying you have to talk about it right now, but...
If something bothers you as much as I think that does, keeping it silent from the people you care about most won't help you.
no subject
I guess I just feel like most of them have bigger crap in their lives, you know? I'm not about to go whining to them about something that happened a year ago.
no subject
[Like seriously it usually sucks so much people don't bother coming back from it!]
...Look, Arthur died and- he never talked about it after he came back. I know it affected him. It was like...he was a completely different person from the man I knew. But no matter what I tried, he just kept refusing to talk about it because he was too proud or too damn stubborn-
[...]
I loved him. But in the end, it drove us apart. It drove him apart from everyone he cared for.
Don't do that to yourself, Alex. You don't have to talk about it to everyone and I know it's not easy to talk about, but don't let it fester inside you. Because I know it is.
no subject
... I don't know what I'd even say to people. Like, I got my heart ripped out, and all my friends left while I was dead, and sometimes I wish I hadn't woken up? That's a really great icebreaker.
[She turns away from the camera a bit, tucking her knees up to her chest.]
I suck at this.
no subject
You don't suck at this.
It's utter bollocks that you had to go through that. [Just saying it how it is. That's rough buddy]
no subject
[She still can't see how her own experience even compares to what some of her friends have gone through, or are still going through, but she doesn't have enough energy to argue right now. She's just a dumb girl from New York who never had to fight for anything, and she doesn't deserve everyone's sympathy.]
Look, I don't even know how to talk about how messed up I let myself get. Like, I've literally never said this shit out loud. 'Cause when I woke up Rise was the only one left, and I didn't want to make her feel like she wasn't enough, and I don't want anyone here to feel like that either. I'm really glad I lived to meet Stef, and to get to know you. But... I don't know who I am anymore. I don't know how to be like this, and I wish the castle had just let me go.
[Ugh ugh ughhhh, the tears are definitely there now and she's trying so hard not to let them fall in front of Allen. Where the fuck did all this babbling even come from??]
1/2
[He wishes this was in person, but there's not much he can do about that]
You're Alex Russo.
You're a wizard from 21st century New York where your family runs a sandwich shop. When you were a teenager, you were brought to a castle named Paradisa, where you had some good times, and some truly terrible times. And now you're the Captain of the SS Paisley in the Drift Fleet.
You like magazines, art, food, terrible movies, pop music and now Taylor Swift. You dated a model named Rise and your best friend is a religious Jordanian-American with a tea addiction. You like both men and women and especially hipbones. One of your favourite pastimes is making up insane stories about America and seeing who'll actually believe it. A lot more people than really should do believe them too.
