Henrietta

If you have comments on the way I'm playing Henrietta, please let me know. Constructive criticism is always appreciated. Comments are screened.

[Private to Costigan]

I think I'm dreaming. We don't... remember them, cyborgs don't, but I wake up and I can't breathe, I can't... It's like being scared, I think, except. Except with being scared, I can stop. It's worse.


[Private to Costigan and Jed fffffff]

Um. I found some of my pills. I didn't know I had them. They're emergency doses, they're not the regular medication, so I don't know... If I should take them or not.

Is there... Are there instruments here? Is there a place to play music? I think I'd like to try the violin again.

[Henrietta curled up sideways on her bed, turning her hands back and forth and wondering if they'd change while she watched. If she dreamed it all, if she remembered dreams now.

She pulled the blankets up over her shoulders and pressed her face against her sleeve. She wanted to smell that cologne again, remember the dark-haired man whose face she can't quite picture.

Lab, barge, dormitory. It was all real, it all wasn't. It was all a dream outside the door, but she didn't know which one it would open into.]

[A boy's voice, singing very softly, with odd pauses in the tune.]

Fra' Maramao, perché sei morto?
Pan e vin non ti mancava,
l'insalata era nell'orto
e una casa avevi tu.
Maramao, perché sei morto?



[[OOC: Henrietta is basically bonkers atm. The flood + withdrawal = total mental breakdown. She's injured herself and will probably attack anyone who comes near her. >.<;;

EDIT: It should also be noted, she's far more likely to incorporate anything said/done to her into her subconscious framework right now--IE, the time is ripe for accidental brainwashing. :| Doh.

English:
Maramao, why are you dead?
You had salad in the garden,
And a home, and wine and bread.
Maramao - I beg your pardon -
Maramao, why are you dead?]]

Ah... sir? I have blood on me. I don't know how it got there. I remember I went to do laundry, but I don't know what happened after.

It isn't mine, either.

Why is everyone so upset?


[Private to Costigan]

Oh, Sign Mr. Costigan, I can do it now! I can flip it without touching the blade. I've been practicing.



[OOC: AND THEN HER QUESTION CAME UP IN-LOG. Edited out that part. *cough*]

I don't really think this is a prison. We can leave our rooms, and there's the library and the kitchen and the art room... There's more to do here than they ever gave us in the lab. Plus we can leave if we want. In the ports anyway.

I kind of like it here.

I heard that we can help with things? Like in the kitchen and the library?

Um. I know we have to get off the boat now, but.

Where are we supposed to stay in the town? We have to have a Warden, a chaperon, right?

I really want to see It's so pretty. I wonder how the hearts fly?

[OOC: WHEEE, PORT. Like the other posts, I'm up for comment, spam or log threadage. Please let me know if I'm doin' it rong, as it's my first time. LOOKING FORWARD TO IT. <3]

[The following is said in nervous, high-pitched Italian, from somewhere near the audio transmitter.]

Hello, doctor Alderisi? Hello? [A background knocking.] Is this a new test? [A thud, and her voice comes closer. The creak of her sitting down on the bed.] I don't understand. What do you want me to do?

[A brief silence, before there's the sound of her moving around and the knocking starts again.] Doctor Alderisi! Doctor Salvay? Is anyone out there? Please talk to me.

☆ Threadhopping with this character - yes/no/maybe so?: Sure, within reason, as usual. If you aren't sure, ask first. Actually I would prefer you ask first anyway. BUT I'm typically fine with it!

☆ Backtagging with this character - yes/no/maybe so?: Definitely!

☆ Hugging this character?: Sure! She will be surprised, and if she doesn't know your character may react as though threatened, so be prepared for that.

☆ Giving this character a kiss?: She will go O.O. And same as above.

☆ Punching this character: ...she will fight back full force, and full force she can be pretty deadly. BASICALLY JUST ICA = ICC.

☆ Is there anything ought not be mentioned near this character?: Hmmm. Nothing that I can think of offhand. If you try to tell her to act like a normal human girl, or try to help her do that and tell her you're doing so, she will probably get upset.

☆ Is there anything you need us to know about interacting with this character? Special physical features, fighting abilities, STUFF: She has, to sum up, superhuman strength, is an excellent marksman, and has enhanced hearing and vision, as well as far superior reaction time. Of course, the latter three only work if she is focusing; catch her off guard, and she can be wounded/killed as easily as anyone else.

☆ Anything else, please mention here:
