01 | Darwin | Day 45 (video)

[The display opens on the cemetery. The only interesting thing is a pile of rock and ash in front of a gravestone. How long has that been there? The cemetery isn't a wholly popular place, it could have been days. For a long moment, nothing happens. Birds chirp, wine rustles the trees.

Then-- there, do you see it? A piece of the rubble twitches slightly, then begins to roll up the pile. Another joins it in motion. Pretty soon all the pieces are shaking and rolling over each other, reshaping into the vague form of a body. A line of stones reach out towards the camera, pulling it up and in. Finally, the round shape on top solidifies into a head, complete with a face, the eyes open wide and he gasps, taking in the first breath of life he's had for days.]


Wha-- [He breathes heavily, slowly becoming more human than statue. His clothes are tattered, singed, and dusty.] What the hell?

[ Oho. River smiles at that.

Then she grips the doorjamb in the bathroom and uses it to swing her lower body upward. One kick takes out the bathroom camera, then she pulls the door shut and the momentum lets her kick out the one in the hall before she lands soundlessly.

And a bow.

[ She smiles the genuine smile of someone who likes showing off and probably doesn't get to as much as she might want. ]

They get fixed, somehow. While you sleep.

[ River laughs because yes. Someone who understands. ]

Best plan. Today has been a good day for making friends.

[ River raises one finger. ] Cass. Quiet. Good fighter. We're going to dance. She is here, that's our room. [ And pointing with said finger. ]

Tony, too. Translating through a screen but it's a good face.

The sound of everyone every - [ Suddenly River jumps up and down, grabbing his hands once she stops bouncing. ] You know one! You know one, someone like me, only different, better, all of Charles' cards are in the deck and River has more Jokers and Aces than anything else.

But you know one!

At home it's psychic or crazy but he's structured it, he -- back home there's no one, just my brother and he isn't like this he just wants to help people but...

[ Nodding, furiously. ] We're all mutants. Psychic. Telepath. She could do it, and they did the rest.

[ HUGS. Hugs are good and amazing and River will just soak all that in.

Then she's grabbing his hand and banging on the bedroom door.

Cass come meet Armando!

[Cass still sucks at being awake in the daytime, but at least all the noise from before woke her. When she opens the door her hair is ruffled up still and she hasn't gotten dressed, she's still in just a tank top and a pair of shorts.]

... Who? Hi. [She waves.] Are you, um... new?

He's good.

[ Because that's...all it takes for River, apparently, to decide to share space with someone. ]

And a genetic marvel, too.
hellofist: (yes happy)

Which do... you want?

[When he says Darwin his body reacts to it differently than Armando, so she can figure it out eventually if he doesn't just say for himself. And it doesn't take much more than a glance to see he is good, and that along with River's vouching is all it takes.]

Need house? Rooms here, can stay.
