1st Box [Voice]

[playwitchu]

[The communicator clicks on and the sound of a little girl's voice can be heard.]

Where am I? Why is it dark in here? [A small pause] And wet.

Ara? I think that I see a way out.

[But enough of that, there is a more important question to be answered.]

Is there anyone out there?

[Eric's completely open to the touch, letting her take his hand at her will.]

Batman? [Eric raises his eyebrows. Ok now he's pretty sure this guy is insane, and the girl is not safe with him. However, the rest sounds pretty rational.]

He's right about where we are though.

[bat-schway.livejournal.com]

[ He tilts his head at Sai, not quite sure what she's asking. ]

What's your name? You don't know? [ Maybe it was the cold... must have been making her delirious. He takes a seat when the train begins to move. He knows telling people that his name is Batman is strange to their ears, especially if they aren't from his world, but still, he'd much rather be known as the vigilante hero than his real name. At least for now. ]

[playwitchu]

[Sai stumbles a little when the train starts, but doesn't let go of Eric's hand, doing her best to prevent a fight from breaking out.]

I don't know my name.... Never given one.

[She goes to look once more between the men.]

Why were we brought here?

[ochitashinigami.livejournal.com]

We don't know that. [Next to people telling him they're countries, and people telling him they're bat men, this girl not knowing her name is the least of his concerns, really. He holds onto her hand, patting her wrist with the opposite one.]

I don't know why, and I haven't met anyone who does. I'm sorry.

[He's weak on his feet anyway, so he has to grab onto the handle to keep from falling when the train moves. He's not in good enough condition to be traveling, but this is more important.]

And never mind about your name. Do you remember anything before you came here though?

[He keeps a suspicious eye on the 'bat man']

[bat-schway.livejournal.com]

[ He knows that Sai doesn't know where she came from, but he doesn't intend on interrupting the two. Instead, he stands up, walking along the length of the aisle and looking around. The trains in Neo Gotham were nowhere near this bumpy, but then again the trains in Neo Gotham weren't falling apart from nuclear fallout either.

Or whatever happened here. He watches the walls of the tunnel move past them before pressing two fingers to the side of his cowl, analyzing data he'd scanned earlier. Maps he was putting together. ]

[playwitchu]

[She frowns a little before trying to lead Eric to a seat for him to sit down on. The wrist pat was comforting to her. She goes to shake her head slowly.]

Nothing... I don't remember anything before coming here.

[Though now Batman has her attention and she looks up at Eric and asks a question that was aimed at the both of them.]

What is Batman doing?

[ochitashinigami.livejournal.com]

[Eric drops into the seat a little too heavy as he leads her, breaking into a sweat. He doesn't let got of the saw though. He coughs, his breath a little rough.]

I don't know. I haven't been here long, but Discedo seems to be more active and therefore more dangerous. I have a room in Spero. It's safe, if you care to come with me.

[He glances over at the bat man.]

I... don't know.

[bat-schway.livejournal.com]

[ What Eric said stops Terry immediately and he looks at him. ]

Woah. We're leaving Spero. If you want her to stay in your room, then you guys better bail from this train.

[playwitchu]

[She follows Eric's lead and sits down next to him.]

Spero? Is that where you guys found me?

[Sai frowns a little at now the decision to be made. On one hand, Eric has shown his face while Batman doesn't. But Batman still came for her and so far has been nice to her... She makes a sound and covers her eyes with her free hand. She doesn't know who to go with....

Too many questions and not enough answers and her body isn't stopping with the intake of information. But one thing she knows what she wants for sure, is to be in a warm place and out of her wet clothes. And yes, she is just going to transmit that through a whine to relay all of that.]

[ochitashinigami.livejournal.com]

[Eric looks at Batman over his blue-tint glasses, clearly annoyed.]

I'm not an idiot. But funny thing, I found a vulnerable young girl being lead onto a subway train by a masked man calling himself in a bat so I decided to get on the train.

[He turns back to her]

Yes, that's Spero. We'll get a train back if you wish.

[bat-schway.livejournal.com]

[ Narrows his eyes and points at Eric. ]

Not an idiot? Yeah right. Look, you're walking around shirtless in the cold, you're obviously sick, and you're suspicious of me? I figured I could take her to Discedo, get her into the Highschool or one of the apartments where there's food and water.

If she stays holed up in your place, who's to say she won't get sick right along with you?

FFFFF Short tag is short.

[playwitchu]

[And it is at that moment that even without her memories, she knows that now is the time to shut up as the two men start to fight. She lowers her hand and goes to half-hug herself as right now, it isn't her place to speak.]

[ochitashinigami.livejournal.com]

Suspicious of a man in a mask who gives his name as "BatMan" luring girls onto trains? Yes, I must be mad.

[He sighs. A school? He didn't even know there was one. Maybe he made a mistake. Still, he tells himself it was a good one.]

I had surgery. I'm recovering. I'm not contagious.

[bat-schway.livejournal.com]

[ This was ridiculous. ]

Where have you been? The train was repaired to transport people from Spero to Discedo and Dissimulo! I was here helping repair this tunnel and the train. I'm not out to attack the innocent.

[ He doesn't even notice Sai hugging herself, too annoyed with the skepticism he's receiving. ]

[playwitchu]

[Sai continues to hug herself and tries to shrink herself as much as she can into the seat. Half naked men with hand saws? Not scary. Men dressed completely in black and no way to see their eyes? Not scary. The two ready to get into a physical fight? Once more not scary. But the verbal fight? While not as scary but is intimidating and she is almost at her limits due to the wet and being cold as well as being a little hungry. give her a couple more moments before she will start crying.]

[ochitashinigami.livejournal.com]

[Eric sees she's upset and lowers his voice. He throws an accusing look at Batman, as if it's HIS fault.]

I'm sorry, It's all right.

[He puts his hand on her shoulder and pulls her against his, in spite of his condition.]

Yes, I was in Spero when the building started. I'd just arrived. I was trying to get the surgery to get my chip removed and find a way back home. I still am.

batman exit thread for now!

[bat-schway.livejournal.com]

[ Seeing that accusatory look, Terry backs off, not wanting the girl to feel anymore threatened. He frowns, turning away. ]

Whatever. If you want to sit on the train for another hour, then be my guest. I'm bailin'. [ He walks down the length of the aisle again, entering the second car in the subway. ]

Bye Batzy!

[playwitchu]

[It's both of you guys fault but mainly the cold and wetness are at fault. Though she moves with the pull and finds some warmth with Eric's feverish body. She frowns as Terry starts to leave....

.... Perhaps she will pay him a visit once she warms up again.]

Chip removed? [There is a chip in a person's body? Wot?]

Find me on AIM? TheDerelictAngel. Need to give you plot info

[ochitashinigami.livejournal.com]

[He wraps his arm around her]

Ah, yeah... [Damn. He doesn't want to scare her, but this place is scary.] There's a chip they put in people who arrive here. You'll have to have surgery to get it taken out. Apparently loosing it makes you sick some... that's why I'm...

[He stops and shakes his head.]

I'm sorry. I thought you were in trouble. If I made a mistake... if you want to go with him...

And friended you there!

[playwitchu]

[She cuddles against him, enjoying his warmth.] She goes to shake her head against him.]

Is there a chip inside of me? I wonder why and what it does to the people...

[She goes to shake her head against him before looking up at him.]

It's okay, I want to go with you. Batman was trying to help me in his own way, but I still want to go with you.

[You actually show your face.]

Re: And friended you there!

[ochitashinigami.livejournal.com]

I don't have much to offer but I'll share what I have. I have a little room. It's not much but it's safe, and dry, and warm.

The chip... well... if you weren't human say, and had special abilities? It would stop you from doing that. It would make you like a human. Also, I think they use it track your location. It's OK. I'll show you where the doctor is.

[playwitchu]

It will be enough...

Doctor? [She's not sure why but she doesn't like that word. But...] I wonder if I have any special abilities.

[She goes to let out a yawn. Tension is no longer present and she has found a source of warmth. So now, the days events are starting to take a toll on her as she goes to yawn again.]

[ochitashinigami.livejournal.com]

It's all right. We can find out. We're going to be on the train for a while so, get some rest.

[He pats her head a little as it rests on his shoulder.]

[playwitchu]

[NOOOO! She doesn't want to sleep yet! But his words and the head pat isn't helping with her wanting to stay awake. Soon she was fast asleep, curling up as much as she can against him as well as cuddling a little.]
