Shortly after I first arrived here, leaves began to fall on deck and demons boarded the ship. That was two years ago. Last year, leaves also fell. We visited Earth during the twenty-first century, in a city called Salem. Many of us purchased costumes there, and later found ourselves turned into what those costumes depicted.

Now it is October again, and the Barge has begun to corrode. Potentially familiar figures have appeared, but not contacted us. I'm reminded of the time we spent without the Admiral's attention. [Yeah remember that time we were dead in space. That time. :|]

This month culminates in a traditional, and very old holiday on Earth. Halloween. As I understand it, the purpose of this holiday is manifold: to obtain vast amounts of sweets, to scare as many people as possible, to experience fear in a relatively safe environment, to celebrate harvest, to mourn the departed, to hide from the departed. I understand very few of these, but there is a typical theme on the Barge of following Earth's holidays.

Two years ago, a demon pierced my hand with a spear. [...On a chain. Whatever. Details. :|] Last year, we were given a certain grace period, possibly due to the port in the abandoned mental health facility.

Our last port was in a 'fairy tale' environment. [I.e., we are due for some awful fucked up shit, guys.]

[Private to Kay]

How likely do you believe it is that these entities were former workers here?

[Private to Spock]

How have you been settling in? [She's absorbed small talk. Sorry you have to sit through it. :c]

[Private to Trip]

It may be prudent to begin carrying your phase pistol with you.

[Private to Slade]

Have you noticed anything that has gone unmentioned, about these entities or their sounds?

I think they might be.

I think they may also be a symptom of the Barge's deterioration more than anything responsible for it.

[Yay, Vulcans also deal with this shit entirely too well.]

What happened with the demons and the mental health facility? More specifically, I mean?

Barely. My door is pretty thick. Which is what makes it odd that I'd be hearin' 'em.

[Like they're specifically loud enough for him to make out.]
truth_is_cold: (rhade - do you have a problem?)

That sounds unpleasant. [Understatement. He enjoys it.] So you believe this, whatever it will be, will be proportionate in damage?

...If that is the case, I would like to go with you to your universe very briefly, if permitted. I want to take something off the Barge before it has a chance to be corrupted. I would return to retrieve it once we've ascertained the cause of the events or they've gone through their full cycle.

If I follow your logic there, it sounds like we may be well and truly buggered this year.

[Private] lmao dat tag :c

You should probably think about doin' it too. To think I used to really kinda enjoy Halloween.
truth_is_cold: (norm - so much not caring)

That is true. Though there was also a quiet period before.

It's a DNA sample. I need to keep it secure until I finally do leave.

I do. But last time when I turned on the camera on my door, it was dark and there was nothin' there.
una_persson: (oh sod)

[personal profile] una_persson 2011-10-12 06:42 pm (UTC)(link)
The question is, what do we do about it? Sit and wait for something to happen?
una_persson: (looking up)

[personal profile] una_persson 2011-10-12 09:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Good question. Certainly the last public announcement was at the end of the month, when pairings were announced.

I suppose we'll see what he does in three days.

Yup. Completely out.

That's not happened with you yet?

Earth may not be the preferable location for it, considering the regulations of your universe.

[rather dryly] Commander Rhade, I didn't know you were trying to feed the Coordinator's paranoia.

[Ope, what?]

I do sometimes [Because, Brax, how can you not?] but I thought that was private. I didn't predict he would be able to rewire the Styrofoam padding in our journals.

Hide from the departed?

[Attempted private, actually public:]

I'm... sorry how I treated you a few months ago after Palmer exorcised that thing from the ship.
collector: (things have gotten closer to the sun)

[yeah okay he feeds it too] I had the pleasure of accidentally sending Narvin a private message intended for you. Regrettably, it wasn't anything he'd have had an apoplexy over.
