The screen flickers on to reveal nothing but the faint outline of a shadow standing near what seems to be a building, though which building it is, is entirely indistinguishable due to the overwhelming darkness. The camera seems to be swaying in Jackie's hand, making it obvious that she is unaware that it has been turned on. She stands with her back pressed against the building, her eyes staring out into the darkness with a slightly glazed over look. The camera tilts in her hand when her fingers clench into a fist, and she tries to sink further into the wall at her back.

A nearly silent whining noise escapes her, and she looks startled that the sound escaped, shaking her head back and forth as though denying it. With a deep sigh, she shakes her head once again, this time uttering a few quiet words to herself.


Get a hold of yourself Jacqueline, it's just the dark. There's nothing to be afraid of. You've been through this before, and there isn't any good reason to be afraid...

She repeats the words and variations of the mantra over to herself, and eventually the blackness of the sky and surroundings become the blackness of an empty screen as the video shuts off with an audible 'click'.



[ooc: this takes place after Jackie has left Latimir, and is presumably (?) staying with, er, the other Jackie, and Nill in Horton. She has a not-so-secret-anymore fear of the dark due to the fact that she IS a lantern.]

Yes I'm fine...sorry about that earlier...I didn't mean for anyone to see that. You did warn me about turning these things on on accident.

I hope I didn't startle you, I was just being unreasonable.

I've never been a big fan of the dark.

It's alright. I'm..not much of a fan of it myself.

I don't really know who is.

At least it looks like it's finally starting to clear up some.

It just kind of overloaded me for a minute, what with the sun being covered and the electricity being gone.

I guess I can say I've really been initiated now...[sarcastic]

I think all of this has made me realize even more how important it is for me to get rid of this stupid chip...

I could have helped...

It's..frustrating, I know. It was for me when I was unable to wield Soul to help out. But we are working on trying to remove all of our chips. It's just not as simple as they say.

I know it's not simple...I think 'frustrating' covers the situation quite well.

I'm not used to being on the sidelines. I don't think any of us really are.

Even if all I can do without a meister is light someone's way, or something small like that, it's still something...

Don't worry, Jackie. We'll figure something out!

Hey, you alright? You and Tsubaki made it to the other place okay right?

Date: 2009-07-16 01:08 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] loyal-inferno.livejournal.com
Yeah, we're fine. Sorry, that was...that was just me being stupid...

We made it here okay.

Whatever you say, no one blames you for getting freaked in this nut house though.

Ah, good. One less thing to worry about, now if we can get this beam in place it'll be great.

From: [identity profile] loyal-inferno.livejournal.com
I wasn't freaked just...well...maybe I was. I'm ...not used to the dark. I'm never really without light.

I guess it would be counterproductive to come back to help, but if there's anything else I can do, give me a shout.

From: [identity profile] suprstarmeister.livejournal.com
Oh...I get it, makes sense I suppose, you being a lantern...

Yeah, no problem, I'll let you know how we're doing. So far so good anyway.

Date: 2009-07-16 08:30 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] loyal-inferno.livejournal.com
Yeah.

That's good news. How does the building seem to be holding up overall? Nothing else looks like it's coming down?

From: [identity profile] suprstarmeister.livejournal.com
So far it's hanging together, though that ain't saying much. Hopefully it'll get fixed up soon before Kid has anymore fits for lack of symmetry.

From: [identity profile] loyal-inferno.livejournal.com
Nice to know it's at least salvageable. It could be much worse, so that's something. Ah yeah, well, I guess everyone has their quirks...

From: [identity profile] suprstarmeister.livejournal.com
Quirks are one thing, this is just one big headache to listen to.

(going out, I'll try and be back for tags soon )

Heh, well, you've never had to spend an extended amount of time with Ox. He might give Kid a run for his money when it comes to headaches.

But hey, they're our friends, so what can we do?

Good luck with that.
From: [identity profile] suprstarmeister.livejournal.com
He does tend to go a lot. I guess you get the worst of it since, well, being around Kim and all...

Yep, we're stuck with em. If we don't take care of them no one will.

Heh, thanks.

Yeah, lol <3

You can't even imagine.

That's for sure.

No problem.

I don't think I want to even try.

Well, someone has to do it I guess.

Date: 2009-07-18 06:41 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] loyal-inferno.livejournal.com
Yeah, I guess it's not so bad since they're our friends and all.

Most of the time.

Even if you could strangle them at some point.
