The Coup ~ninth descent~

Jan 20, 2010 19:04

This deck is quiet.  Very quiet.  Too quiet.

Along the walls are rows and rows of horse-hands, all standing to attention.  Their equine heads stare straight forward, dark, blank eyes unseeing. Their all-too-human hands hang at their sides.

They do not move as the elevators reveal the passengers.

Nabooru hesitates to step out of the elevator. Weird. Bizarre. Unsettling. She doesn't know how to describe it. What the hell are these things? They're like people, but their heads...

She narrows her eyes and steps out, studying the nearest horse-hand uneasily. Are these things... alive?

The creature ignores her.

Its chest is still. Is it alive?

She has no idea, Events-mun. And she's a little creeped out by whatever it might do if it did start moving. Nabooru wouldn't deny she was scared.

Still, all these here... they've got to have some kind of purpose, right?

"Hello?" she says, raising her eyebrows, ready to haul ass back to the elevator if needed.

The horse-hand doesn't move but, Nabooru might feel a sudden chill, as if something is creeping up behind her.

That's fucking freaky. They're all just... standing there. In line.

Lily walks up to one and stares up at it.

It completely ignores her, staring over her head.

Lily jumps up and down and waves her arms. "Hellooo?"

If the horse-hand hears her, it does not react.

She remembers these from previous times on the ship, they'd creeped her then and they creep her now.

Edging forward, she calls out softly. "Hello...?"

"...Fascinating."

Maia steps out of the elevator and approaches a nearby creature. After the other decks, she's a little wary, but her curiosity overcomes it.

They are certainly strange, these creatures, although the scientist in Maia isn't pertubed by that. Rather, she'd like to know more about them.

She waves a hand in front of the creature's face.
