"How’d you know about everything in the first place?"

[artemisdorion]

"Well, for starters, I'm from Mercury."

[angelawrites-blog]

"No, no. If I didn’t want to hear about it, why would I have asked? C’mon, use your head, you look like a smart girl—— now enlighten me.”

[artemisdorion]

"Right, sorry. Being out here, studying these creatures—and plants—I've been.. driving myself crazy studying them," she took a deep breath, relieving herself from her hesitancy, "I've known some of the information this camp has disclosed before I came here."

[leviathanjames]

"I’ve never tried herbs before, but if you are confident in your knowledge, I wouldn’t mind a bit of experimentation before the first aid kit."

"Right. The…the life I chose to live when I came here. Not that I’m regretting this, but…you know..it’s rather surprising."

[artemisdorion]

"Okay. I gathered a few the other day, studied what I could. I think we can find something."

"What do you mean?"

[leviathanjames]

"…And where would I get something like that?" "That’s…not nice. It’s not nice at all. I mean, I suppose I understand it, but I really hope we weren’t at that stage of—- whatever this is, yet."

[artemisdorion]

"I could try to find a first aid kit. Or we could experiment with some herbs?"

"Yeah, no it's not, but it's life at the moment."

[angelawrites-blog]

"I was planning on it, actually. But now I don’t think it’ll be as effective."

"The fuck were we—- no, the fuck were you talking about? I think I should know, and I probably do, but you’re confusin’ me.”

[artemisdorion]

"I'm sorry... ugh, I mean, we were talking about—or I was talking about—what made me have good and bad feelings about this place. But you probably don't want to hear it, so I'll just, uh, leave you alone or something.."

[leviathanjames]

"Although I am curious—- I do believe that I should try to treat it just a tiny bit. I mean, if I die, at least I died trying to prevent something little from getting huge, right?" "Do they even have medication for us?"

[artemisdorion]

"You could at least put some antibiotics and bandage it or something—to keep it from getting infected. You said you didn't feel weird so there's nothing to treat, really."

"I don't know. I didn't see any. If they're really trying to rid the weak, then I'd suppose not."

[angelawrites-blog]

"Yeah, kind of. That’s not horrible, though. You could be worse."

"…What are we talking about, again?"

[artemisdorion]

"I suppose you're right. Thanks for not totally giving me a questioning look or something."

"We were talking about... actually, it doesn't matter. It wasn't important."

[leviathanjames]

"I couldn’t see it very clearly because it was early in the morning, but I believe it was fuzzy…so maybe a Kelisian?" "I haven’t felt any different, but it’s just starting to bruise."

[artemisdorion]

"Well, I honestly don't know.. but I guess we'll see, yeah?"

"I hope you don't mind that I keep tabs on you. I'd like write all this down—what happens when you get bit. Maybe you won't die."

[leviathanjames]

"What do you do if you happened to get bitten by something?"

"Because I think I got bitten by something."

[artemisdorion]

"Depends. What bit you?"

Elodie, are you asleep? I sure as hell am not. I mean, I tried. I think I heard something outside. I almost went out to adventure, but I figured it's not the smartest thing to do right now. Four more hours until daylight..

"I’d say so. I only had bad feelings when I came here— still do, in fact. And look what’s happened."

[artemisdorion]

"I guess I'm weird, then."

"I mean, I can do without the survival part. I'm just glad people are being told what I've known the past few years. I don't have to feel guilty about keeping things that shouldn't be kept secret."

"At least they have shit eyesight, so running might work in your favor," she mused, "or you could throw shit in front of them." A sacrifice, of sorts. "Yeah, true, maybe the eessa really is out there," she agreed, leaning back against a random tree. "If there’s one thing I’m thankful for about this place, it’s for actually revealing to us what the government’s been doing. I always knew they were corrupt—there’s no way they were perfect,” she said the word as if it was poison; she’d lived in conditions the powerful liked to toss aside and deem as rotten, “but I never knew just how fucked up they were. They were always good at lying—just not good enough, apparently.” Her lips curled into a smirk at Artemis’ next remark. “Sounds like a real party. I don’t see why not, though I haven’t heard of anyone actually doing so. With the way these are matched up, I’m surprised some tents haven’t killed each other yet.”

[artemisdorion]

Artemis nodded in agreement to everything Elodie had said about the government. There was no such thing as a genuine utopia. It was just an idea. A thought that the government had managed to instill in [almost] everyone's mind. She chuckled, "I barely know half the people here, so.." she glanced around. "But you're probably right. I bet they did that on purpose—assigning such roommates," Maybe she could find somewhere else to sleep. Possibly just lay underneath the moon, watch for proof of an eessa. "What planet are you from anyways?" she realized that she hadn't asked her the question yet. They'd been caught up in so much more that the idea of small talk never came to mind.

◎ / them eyebrows, drawn in or natural?

Natural. From my dad’s side. Fun fact: My best friend and I met when we were five by her asking me why I had two brown caterpillars on my face. I freaked out, but then I realized they were just my eyebrows. Now just a few weeks ago, I caught her in the bathroom drawing them in like they were ferrets on paper. Smh.

◎ / do you really know more about the aliens?
