⚘ [ fringe event #6] || homeward bound
[ The device has been set on top of a table, so that the camera is tilted at an angle from which we can observe the body of a large, metal tank. The heavy doors are lifted up, revealing the water-filled stomach of the beast. Despite the dimmed lights of the lab, we can see the remnants of a mad scientist's lab behind the tank, dusty metal tables littered with equally dusty beakers and glass containers that display a prism of vibrant chemical colors.
There's the steady pattern of beeps that tells us that there's an EKG on and someone's heart is being monitored. There are voices-- one male, another female: ]
You don't have to be here.
[ Olivia walks into view and stands in front of the tank, wearing a white bathrobe. A gloved hand flashes into view holding a syringe, but before he can step into the shot, she pulls the syringe away from him]
I can do it.
[ Pulling her robe down, she injects herself with the deftness of someone who has done this before. Look closely, and we might see her pupils dilate, as she takes an unsteady step backwards. That same hand reaches out to grab her, but she waves him away. Her look says: I got this. ]
[ Still uneasy on her feet, she steps down and into the tank, slowly immersing herself in the water. Those gloved hands appear on screen again and they start to close the metal doors-- ]
Maybe we'll meet again. [ A pause. ] Thank you.
[ --- and then the doors shut with a echoing bang. Now we can only see the closed tank and hear the steady, beeping of the EKG machine. Seconds, minutes pass in silence until the EKG machine erupts into a cry of frenetic beeps. There's the sound of sudden movement, someone hurrying over to pull open those metal doors. Obscured by the dimmed lights, the identity of this man is a mystery.
Suddenly, the beeping stops.
The doors open with a sharp creak, revealing an empty tank. ]
Well this is certainly one to add to your list of fantastic ideas, isn't it?
[ The video snaps to black. ]
[ooc: Long story short--Olivia is trying to go home with the help of Yusuf and Eames! Her canon ability is to cross dimensions, and so she's giving it a try (once again) in the city, but this time with a little LSD to give her an extra kick. However, Olivia won't be going home, instead she'll find herself stuck in The Shadow Lands.
There won't be any responses to this post, but there will be a post from the shadow lands where Olivia will reply! This is just a 'setting up the story' type post, yup. :3 ]
