    Default [Private] Space: A Cold Theater

    The Arios station, a research colony set in Jupiter orbit. Currently working on a human-machine resonance project, this station is home to various test subjects and researchers, as well as staff and civilians.

    It is a fairly comfortable place to live... unless one is a research subject.
    In one of the cell blocks, there is an exceptionally unhappy individual.

    A black-haired girl sits in her holding chamber, staring out the window at the sea of stars.
    She sighs, gazing into the diamond-studded blackness...

    People stared at the scars upon her face
    Laughed at her jet-black hair, the lack of her grace

    The girl in the torn black jeans
    was dragged up on stage
    And in the starlight, sang her songs
    Of darkness and disgrace

    And she'd be alright if she could keep together
    Yes she'd be alright, the song could go forever
    It'd be awful nice
    Really quite out of sight

    And she sang all night long

    Researchers emerged from shadows
    To watch this piteous girl
    some stood upon their chairs
    To make their point of view
    she smiled sadly for a wish she could not obey

    And in the starlight, sang her songs
    Of darkness and dismay

    And she'd be alright if she could keep together
    Yes she'd be alright, the song could go forever
    It'd be awful nice
    Really quite out of sight

    From an observation room, a tall woman, with short gold hair, grey eyes, and rather too much empathy for her job, watches the black-haired girl sing, and murmurs something inaudible...

    Spoiler
    Show
    She sits alone, wears the night's shadows
    Painted in starlight, brittle and cold
    The moment ends in silence, then the moment grows old

    And when she sings, a thousand dreams surround her
    Keep her from torments, no one can hold
    Her hope dies in the distance, as the faces grow cold

    Sing for me now...
    All the world is a stage
    Smile take a bow
    From your gilded cage...

    Behind the glass, she's safe where no one can reach her
    People with theories
    All make her bleed
    A fragile porcelain angel
    Breaks so easily

    The restless heart
    Cries when no one is listening
    She's waiting for someone
    Waiting for you
    To want, love and need her
    To help her to make it through
    As the moment grows old
    In her Gilded Cage...

    a woman with very long grey hair, and pointed ears, arises in her cell, her eyelids fluttering open to reveal only white. she huddles up to ward of the cold from the steal flooring, tethered to the wall by several cables. she listens intensively to both woman singing, the murmur audible to the blind waif. After a few moments of silence , the girl begins to sing. ar fist her voice trembles, but soon it rings loud and clear.

    Close your eyes
    Feel the void where terror lies
    Silently the senses
    Abandon all defences

    A place between sleep and awake
    End of innocence, unending masquerade
    That's where I'll wait for now

    You hold me near
    So closely, sear you
    Seeing, believing
    Dreaming, deceiving

    A place between sleep and awake
    End of innocence, unending masquerade
    That's where I'll wait for now

    Sleepwalker whom blinded me
    I dare to enter your agony
    I lay myself now to sleep
    In my dreams my eyes I keep

    Sleepwalker,
    Sleepwalker

    Sleepwalker whom blinded me...

    A young blonde boy shakes into a standing position. His eyes seem dead, and he doesn't even seem to be in control of his own actions. His mouth opens, and he begins to sing and dance, moving and sounding like a robot:

    I know I may be young, but I've got feelings too.
    And I need to do what I feel like doing.
    So let me go and just listen.

    All you people look at me like I'm a little boy.
    Well did you ever think it be okay for you to treat me like a toy.

    Always saying little boy can't step into the world.
    Well I'm just tryin' to find out why cause I can't find the love.

    Stop it stop it, stop it stop it (Whoa)
    Stop it stop it, stop it stop it (Whoa)(I don't like it)
    Stop it stop it, stop it stop it (Oh)(This feels bad)

    I know I may come off quiet, I may come off shy.
    But I feel like talking, feel like dancing when I see this guy.

    What's practical is logical. What the hell, who cares?
    All I know is I'm not happy when I'm living there.

    I'm a slave for you. I cannot hold it, I cannot control it.
    I'm a slave for you. I can't deny it, I'm just trying to hide it.

    Baby, don't you want to, walk over me,
    (I just want to be free of you)
    To another time and place.
    Baby, don't you want to, walk over me,
    (Are you ready)
    Leaving behind my name, my age.
    (Lets go)

    (Like that)
    (You like it)
    (Now watch me)

    Stop it stop it, stop it stop it (Whoa)
    Stop it stop it, stop it stop it (Whoa)
    Stop it stop it, stop it stop it (Oh)

    I really want to cry, and escape you.
    (I just can't help myself)
    I really want to do what you want me to.
    (I just feel I let myself go)

    I really want to cry, and escape you.
    (Wanna just break free)
    I really want to do what you want me to.
    (Uh Uh Uh)

    Baby, don't you want to, walk over me,
    (I just want to be free of you)
    To another time and place.
    Baby, don't you want to, walk over me,
    (Are you ready)
    Leaving behind my name, my age.

    I'm a slave for you. (Take that) I cannot hold it, I cannot control it.
    I'm a slave (It feels so wrong) for you. (It just feels good)
    I can't deny it, I'm just trying to hide it. (Baby)

    Stop it stop it, stop it stop it (Whoa)
    Stop it stop it, stop it stop it (Whoa)
    Stop it stop it, stop it stop it (Oh)

    Stop it stop it, stop it stop it (Whoa)
    Stop it stop it, stop it stop it (Whoa)
    Stop it stop it, stop it stop it (Oh)

    I'm a slave for you. (Here we go now)
    I cannot hold it, I cannot control it.
    I'm a slave for you. (Here we go) I can't deny it, (Yeah)
    I'm just trying to hide it.

    (Like that)


    He stops moving and singing, then blinks, looking around confused, as if none of that just happened.

    The black-haired girl is ushered out of her chamber by two security drones and into a testing block; drones also bring the other subjects into the same block.
    As instructed, she removes her top, revealing two sets of electronic ports on her back.
    Two researchers bring in a pair of folded mechanical objects; it's hard to tell what they are.

    The gold-haired woman quietly slips into the room as well, electronic notepad in her hand, and a blank expression on her face, masking her unhappiness at the experiments they're going to go through, for the most part, though it slips a bit when her gaze falls on the black-haired girl; she's the one Spreagadh is assigned to observe, though they rarely interact directly, so she feels most strongly for her.

    The objects are hooked into the ports; they unfold into a set of mechanical wings.

    The girl winces as the wings flex.

    Spreagadh winces a bit in sympathy for the black-haired girl, and notes down that there are still issues with the bio-feedback from Carrie's wings.

    "What exactly did you feel there?"
    , she asks, frowning somewhat, and doing her best to keep the emotions out of her voice; hopefully, if she can find out exactly where it's feeding in improperly, she can do something to keep them from doing so.

    Spreagadh nods, frown deepening.

    "I know," she replies, letting some sympathy into her voice. "And I'm sorry. But what I need to know is how and where it hurts, so that I can try to make it stop doing so."

    Spreagadh nods thoughtfully, noting down the specifics, and, after studying what Carrie told her for a while, looks up at the winged girl, a slight smile on her face.

    "I think I might know at least some of what's going on... Do you want me to try to fix it now, or wait to alter the coding until you've taken them off?"

    "I'll try... I can't promise anything, though. I'm assigned to Carrie, not you; I don't know what they're doing with you, even. But if I can get you new eyes grown, I will,"
    Spreagadh replies, sounding sad that she can't do more. "What exactly did they tell you, other than just that you'd get new eyes at some point?"

    And so, as she's talking to Din, Spreagadh sets to work altering the coding in Carrie's wings; it should help at least a little, and, quite possibly will fix the problems she's having entirely.

    Spreagadh gently holds her as best she can while still altering the coding for Carrie's wings.

    "Depending on what they meant, that could be okay... It could just mean giving you a greater visual range than normal, which would be fine. You'd be able to see better in the dark, probably, and almost certainly you'd be able to distinguish finer variations of color than most.

    If it is something bad, though, I'll do my best to get it changed so that you just get replacement eyes, instead of whatever experiment they want to put you through, alright?"
