02 || River Tam || Day 55
The air tastes strange. [ River knows the video is on but she's not looking at it, allowing instead for the broadcast to show the hallway of house seventeen in the waning afternoon light.
An arm reaches out and a door swings open to a bedroom. Bed rumpled and several books scattered around but otherwise empty.
They took him and she doesn't know when. They took a note, the whole song is wrong now.
[ River sounds exhausted. ]
The air tastes strange. All the notes should be careful and keep themselves in tune.

They stole who?
video;
[ River screams. ]
He's gone!
video;
River, where are you?
video;
Did you tell him he dies?
video;
[ He's already moving, trying to find a jacket. ] I thought it would be cruel, considering.
video; this is going to be after Erik and Oliver, before Ned, if that's ok?
video; yes okay!
[ Charles isn't one for hypothesising but he's fairly certain that Darwin's death would be fixed no matter what. Telling him seemed unkind. ] I had hoped he'd stay here for longer, that he could have been spared the knowledge of what was to come.
video;
Don't think it was the wrong choice. [ The choice that Charles made. ] All this anger, and nothing to focus it on. Come show me how to pray for the dead?
video;
I don't know very much about religion, but I'm on my way. I promise.
video;
[ She knows herself better than that. ]
A matter of faith, not religion, and you have that in droves.
video;
[ The feed ends because he doesn't want to have to keep looking at his wrist. It means he can be faster. As soon as he can he's knocking on the door and rocking back on his heels. ]
action!
Can't even hold onto my own sadness.
action!
[ He holds out his hands but doesn't step any closer. Being cautious is important. ]
action!
[ That may not be accurate but whatever, River can throw herself into his arms anyway right? ]
No breath for fairness to even shake a fist at the sky. No one's listening, here or there. No one did, and no one will.

I know, I know. It is awful and it hurts and I'm sorry. I wish I could have done something too, but this place takes what we know and twists it and neither of us could have done anything.

[ River had hoped she was already all cried out but apparently not, not that it is a terribly surprising thing not to be. ]
I miss. I I I I I. I hate this. Hate hate hate hate hate.
no subject
I know River, I know.

I I I I. The stars are fixed on the horizon and I miss them too. It's just a cage why does it hurt so much?

What is the point, what purpose does it serve, this false sense of randomness? What could they learn from it?
What is the goal of this experiment?
no subject
[ He exhales, stroking a hand down her hair. ] But we have to stick together.
