⚘ [ fringe event #2 ] || sleepless (video)

[ In the abandoned lab of a former mad scientist, Olivia sits at a table covered with manila folders, dusty beakers and containers of who-knows-what. She looks exhausted, stressed--fingers rubbing circles into her temples. Hours she's been at this, going through Walter's lab, his files, staring at words and numbers that make no sense to the agent. Given the time he was here, Walter couldn't have left much, but what he did leave apparently leads to no answers, no answers she can comprehend at least. ]

If anyone found a way out, it had to be you, Walter.

[ Without looking up, she reaches for the cup of coffee next to her, misjudging the distance in a moment of tired absentmindedness. The half-full coffee cup tumbles, spilling the contents across the table. ]

Shit--

[ooc: Anyone from Fringe would be much-loved! No doubles, except her canon double, please. ]

[Helpful is not his middle name. ...Now he's wondering if he has a middle name. Grand.]

I've been placed where I am meant to be. The same as you. The reason hasn't revealed itself.

[ You are frustrating, extremely frustrating, especially for someone with as little patience as Olivia. ]

Where I'm meant to be? What are you trying to say? [She takes a breath.] Frankly, I really don't have the patience for enigmas or puzzles right now.

[She actually seems more patient than a certain someone.]

And yet here you are asking questions for answers.

[Can't help you with that one. He kind of lurks here though, staring off the way that a cat does however somehow very aware of everything around.]

And here you are saying the same thing over and over again.

I cannot answer what I do not know. For every action there is an equal but opposite reaction, any school book can tell you. I am here because something caused me to be here.

...and you?
