Hey.. [ so this isn't awkward right? what's better than this, dudes being dudes, talking about dying-slash-maybe-murdering, missing boyfriends ] so yeah. Murderous rampage, right? That was where we were?
[nope not awkward at all just another day in space]
Yeah, I think so. It was that or you were about to share your famous trifle recipe. Can't quite remember, so let's just go with the murderous rampage to be safe.
What's trifle? [ stay on topic buddy ] No it's just- you know how people turn up at different times here and it's really really weird? If he's just...a little earlier than me, there might be...rampage issues. But we fixed it before, we can do it again.
[ the absolute poster child for reassurance, right? ]
[What's trifle, oh my god, deprived soul, and Sirius makes a noise of quiet pain, but manages to move on. Trifles will be revisited once rampage issues have been sorted.]
Right, that's-- not so uncommon here, actually. [Speaking from experience, and he prods experimentally at his left canine tooth, which still feels a little wonky even nearly a year after That Time Remus Showed Up Again and Nearly Beat His Face Off.] Worrying, but not uncommon. What did you do to fix it before?
He can survive it, we're pretty sure. [ she kind of got dragged away before full recovery could be made, but things had been incredibly optimistic, so that's enough to sound sure right? right. ] It's a drug, so once it's out of your system the whole...murder vibes are gone. Staying alive during the detox isn't...easy, but we did it once before.
If he ends up here and I get to him soon enough, it'll be fine. I swear.
['Staying alive' not 'keeping him alive'. There's a bit of a difference between the two, and Sirius--foolhardy, willing to risk life and limb for his friends, regardless of what murderous state they might be in at the time (hullo, Remus "Moony" Lupin)--Sirius gets that. Full stop. It never occurs to him to question whatever risk is entailed during the detox. It's got an end point, that's better than some get.]
All right, keep your hair on. We're not going to shove him out of an airlock. [More bracing than gruff.] He can't be here now, or else we'd have heard about it already. Word gets around quickly. So we'll plan for if and when he comes aboard. That's easier than trying to work backwards.
[So don't worry too much, in other words, even if it's probably something that ought to be worried about.]
We'll have to have some way that we can spot him. SEC, I mean. And I'll have to tell Tyke. She's head of SEC. She'll see to it that we can help your mate out, and get him to a place where he can wait it out. And then it really will be fine.
You float people here? [ w h o o p s sore point. ] If he still has anything in his system he'd be strong, but not unmanageable. Me and my brother handled him okay, it wouldn't be impossible to get him secured somewhere.
[ she sighs slightly, because while it's good planning ahead and all, the idea of going through that detox again is stressful as hell. they've already got enough going on with half the people from the ark being here from radically different timelines. more of that would just be...
very tiring, basically, so she's kind of hoping he doesn't show up. ]
Listen...thanks, for this. Like I really do appreciate it, you could have been a huge dick about this.
['Float' immediately makes him think of good old wingardium leviosa, but from context clues (tone, the fact that she's not a witch, the fact that she asked that straight after he mentioned shoving her boyfriend out of the airlock, which, all right, was perhaps not the most sensitive, but Sirius can be kind of a prick, well-known fact, that)--well, he can put two and two together easily enough.]
Turn of phrase. Anyways, as long as we know what we're looking for, and if you managed to sort him before--we'll sort him again.
[Because, look: if regular muggles were able to overpower this boyfriend, then Sirius could probably manage it alone, and that's only got about 10% of a boast to it. 90% fact.
Her gruff word of thanks gets him to grin, even if it goes by unseen. He likes Octavia already.]
And you're welcome. I'd say 'just doing my job, miss' but it sort of goes beyond my job, so you might still end up owing me one. But obviously I'm good and merciful, so you don't have to worry too much about that.
newt, hey. course i'm fine, none of that stuff was real, right? [ lolol tell that to the bruises from her not-brother ha ha ha moving on. ] you're doing okay too? i mean, you're okay enough to text so you can't be dead but you're like, okay in the well-being sense, right?
[ so by that he obviously means thomas sounds really cool all the time right? right ]
yeah, wasn't the most fun i've ever had, but you can't be picky in space it seems. or have any choice at all. [ ever the optimist!!! ]jeez seems everyones got monsters back home. i got some too, and you should've seen the ones coming for this guy. no wonder he thought this place is so wicked.
[ which is to say yes she hasn't yet figured out that WICKED =/= the adjective ]
well this thing was gross, honestly. i thought our stuff was bad but at least they're people. way easier to deal with. this thing looked super disgusting. [ which is clearly the priority and not the whole almost dying several times ] yeah?? i mean no need to shout, it's pretty obvious this place is awful, not like it's a surprise
what kind of ominous nutjobs use 'WICKED' as a name for an organization?? that's messed up. [ no shit sherlock. at least they're on the same page, though. ] uh, cute kid, good w/a machete, about our age. he was the one with the gross monster thing coming after him, said it was wicked - or WICKED, i guess.
same ones that kidnapped us--ominous nutjob's a good way to put it. "World in catastrophe, killzone education department" is what it stands for, by the by.
oh--that's Minho! He's a friend of mine. We came from the same place, if you couldn't tell. Bit of a slinthead, but he's a good guy.
[clarke has looked, even tried messaging him through the comms but she has been having no luck at all. but that totally doesn't mean anything right? of course not even if she went through the same thing with finn. besides if anyone would know for sure it'd be octavia]
when i woke up he was already out of the pod but i thought he was with you??
[ she hadn't bothered to look for him when she'd seen the pod he'd gone into, assuming he'd just gotten up and out faster than her - but if he wasn't with clarke...
bellamy doesn't have friends here, not yet. it's not like there's a long list of people to check with. ]
he's not. i haven't seen him since before we got in the pods.
he usually meets me afterwards but i looked and i can't find him anywhere. i was hoping that maybe you knew where he was. [she can't help but be worried and if octavia thought he was with her? she has a bad feeling about this if only because she confirms her suspicions]
[ it honestly hadn't occurred to her that this could happen. finn disappeared on them, sure, but this is bellamy, and unsurprisingly octavia is starting to panic.
a few minutes later, another message comes through: ]
he's not answering his stupid device thing + his locker looks untouched. where have you looked? if we spread out we might track him down faster
[ because obviously he's lost, not gone, right? right. ]
[clarke knew leaving was possible given what happened with finn but she never expected it to be that soon or that bellamy would be the next one of them to leave either.
people have said they go home but clarke never could shake the feeling that this place was an alternate version of mount weather. that maybe people are unsuspectingly being taken to parts unknown within the ship when they disappear or get lost that forces the communication signal to get cut from the devices much like what happened with the grounders. the reasons for something similar in this place could be different but her paranoia about it still stands, not that she voices that concern because it's not something she can confirm either and well it will only make people think she's losing it or cause unnecessary panic]
he wasn't answering me either when i tried. i checked the usual places he would be too. the lockers, his room, the gardens and i even went back to check near the the pods but no luck.
[clarke stubbornly wants to believe he's still here and that she didn't just lose him too but the logical part of her knows went through the same process with finn so after another minute she sends another message] octavia, i think he might have gone back home.
