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

[entangles]

[ 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. ]

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

[loyalblackdragon]

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?

[entangles]

Just like you, I don't know why I'm here.

[loyalblackdragon]

I don't believe our reasons are the same.

[entangles]

Why not?

[loyalblackdragon]

A feeling.

A hunch.

Destiny only gives so many glimpses and hints to anyone.

[entangles]

In other words, you're just guessing.

[loyalblackdragon]

I know that my purpose in life is not the same as yours. There are few reasons why our paths would parallel.

[...that's a yes.]
