[accidental video]
[There's a heart on Uhura's nightstand. An actual, physical heart. An actual, physical, Vulcan heart, if we're going to get precise about it. Uhura doesn't know about it yet.

Her alarm goes off and she reaches blearily to turn it off. But instead of finding her alarm, her hand lands on the warm, sticky heart. Her eyes fly open and she sits straight up in bed.]

What the hell?!?!


[Now she does.]


[voice message to the police]

[Her voice is a little shaky but otherwise calm.]

Somebody's heart is in my bedroom. I don't know if this part of a curse or someone's sick idea of a joke.

Comments

[othersdie]

I'm with the police.

It's likely a curse, but someone can come out to collect the heart if you'd like.

voice;

[universaltranslator]

I would appreciate that.

Have other people gotten hearts too?

voice;

[othersdie]

Not quite like that.

voice;

[universaltranslator]

[A bit of a shuddering breath]

What are the odds that this isn't a curse?

voice;

[othersdie]

Slim. Organs don't typically show up until after a murder has been reported.

[It takes him a moment to realize that that's not the most reassuring thing he could have said.]

And, considering the nature of today's curse...

voice;

[universaltranslator]

What is today's curse?

voice;

[othersdie]

Symbolic representations of our hearts, I assume, but someone could have taken this as an opportunity to distribute real hearts.

[Things like that happen. Well, and there's the insanity going on that's not related to hearts...]

May I have your name and address, please?

voice;

[universaltranslator]

[That thought makes her a little queasy.]

Nyota Uhura. [Insert address here]

voice;

[othersdie]

Thank you, Ms. Uhura. I'll-- [send someone out shortly? Who's he kidding, he'll be fetching the heart himself] --be there soon.

voice;

[universaltranslator]

Thank you, officer.

[othersdie]

[Since Justin isn't tied up in any business having to do with the riot, he takes one of the coolers from the lab and fetches the heart.]

[ooc: Action/handwave, I'm cool with either? If handwave, then Justin would have immediately commented on the fact that the heart isn't human. IDK if Uhura would recognize it for what it is...]

[universaltranslator]

[Handwave? :D? ♥]
