Who: Nancy Wheeler and you;
Broadcast: yes
Action: n/a - Marsiva
When: current.

( A; VIDEO )

[ the video opens, abruptly, to what is undoubtedly the marsiva. The girl who walks into the frame, her back to the camera is on the younger side. When she turns, a few things might be easily concluded. This is a teenager - pale face, blue eyes, a golden necklace of two ballet slippers, tightening her dark jacket over her sweater.

Unaware of the camera, she will lift a bandaged palm and neatly undo the bandages, inspecting a well-healed palm. Look closely and you might notice a thin, pale scar just in the middle of her palm before she'll tighten her hand into a fist.

She's entirely alone, it would seem. Nothing but the eerie, cheerful music of the Marsiva. Looking around at the food and drinks, she breathes a little faster. Her alarm is quiet; there is no hysteria or panic - but there is certainly fear.

And apparently, anger. A moment later she will catch a glass and throw it onto the floor, smashing it. When no response comes, something will snap and methodically, she will begin throwing and smashing plates and glasses, pushing aside cots, toppling them over and when this surge of quiet anger stops -

nothing. but this lack of response seems to unnerve her and she bends over, picks up a broken shred and holds onto it, as if she is still awaiting an attack from an unknown party. ]



( B; TEXT )

[ several hours later, most of which were spent watching the messages on the network and trying ( and failing ) to understand their meaning, she seems to understand this is a mean of communication of a sort. but then, how? if there is no one with her?

figuring this works like a phone of a sort, only with words, she will send a single word out, a tentative, unsure attempt: ]


Hello?

Not many places are. [ nyc. ] But I'm sure the grass is still always greener on the other side -- I bet there's a lot about small town living that's alright.

Hate to break it to you, but everyone knows everyone in New York too. It's just on a way different scale -- sure, you can down the street and be practically anonymous. But every block is like a village.
ladybro: (➵ burst so high)

Manhattan. [ she doesn't want to get much more specific. you never know when someone's gonna know your name. or your codename. ]
ladybro: (➵ till i look around and see)

ladybro: (➵ breathe in)

Sure. [ after the big disasters. and on the day captain america died. moments like those get hella quiet. ] But never for long. Sometimes, though, you catch just like a heartbeat's worth of silence. It's amazing.
ladybro: (➵ another in my life)

The wrong kind of silence. The silence of a vacuum.
