[ JK002N | VOICE | IC DATE ]

[Jet doesn't typically do the radios. Too much chatter goes against how he works, but this time, there's an exception. He might have just texted if texting wasn't a pain in the ass right now. As it is, his voice sounds strained even through the crackle of the radio, which at least aids in masking the occasional sparking sound his shoulder is still giving off.]

JK002N -Jet- calling on anyone who's got an idea to spare. Martin and I are at a door, North-Northwest. There's...there's a card-reader here. Gave off a hell of a shock. Anyone find an employee card or anything? Or rubber gloves...

We're taking suggestions, cause it's definitely something beyond it.

[Caution tells him even this much might be dangerous to say if they're being monitored and someone doesn't want them over here...but leaving just yet wasn't an option and he wasn't an invalid yet. They could handle it.]

I'm fine. It only got really bad for a little bit there. Mostly, I've just been ignoring it. My experience, weird feelings aren't something you really want to just follow.

[Wait. Shit!]

That's how... horror movie people die!

[And a save! Maybe.]

[ichoosefight]

[ She says nothing for a moment. How is she supposed to respond to that, honestly? And what's with his tone? ]

...You know that's also how people die from really treatable conditions, right? Ignoring problems instead of addressing them?

[lonelynotforsaken]

I don't think I've contracted anything here. Jet and I have been the same places and eaten and drunk the same things. He's not feeling off.

[ichoosefight]

The principle applies to other areas. What if you're cursed? You can't get rid of a curse by ignoring it.

[lonelynotforsaken]

[Well, she brought up curses and he's already played at being superstitious.]

Again, I'm really not sure how I would've been cursed when Jet's not.
We've been everywhere together last couple of weeks and this only started about a week ago.

[ichoosefight]

it's magic why would that matter

[lonelynotforsaken]

There would still be rules.
And I don't know how I would be cursed and not Jet. We've touched the same things.
Been the same places.
Unless the Hunter knows magic and decided they hate me?

[ichoosefight]

See? That's my point. You don't know the rules. You can't reasonably rule anything out unless you actually investigate.

[lonelynotforsaken]

I was being silly.
I know supernatural stuff is an option after the crab monsters, but I'm willing to be at least a little skeptical, aren't you?
I'm also not really sure what I'm meant to do beyond letting people know.
Seeing who else might be feeling the pull.
That's why I mentioned it.

[ichoosefight]

you're supposed to use emojis when you're being silly :P

do you know what's in the direction it's pulling you?

[lonelynotforsaken]

:P :P :P

I'm pretty sure it's the cabin.
It's why I've not been following it.
'Not today, Satan' and all that.

[ichoosefight]

How sure are you? There are things around that cabin on every side.

No offense but it seems like you haven't looked into this even a little.

[lonelynotforsaken]

I have other priorities right now.
I'm not going to go lurking around in the direction of the cabin when I know it's deadly.
Maybe that's not the most useful thing for intel.
But I like not dying.

[ichoosefight]

survival is more important than intel.

it's just that in my experience, bad intel gets you killed.

[lonelynotforsaken]

And in mine, looking too deeply into things can get you killed.
Or worse.

[He regrets sending that as soon as it's gone. Martin bites his lip, but it would be more suspicious to try to claw it back.]

[ichoosefight]

sounds like you need a professional

that's the kind of thing that happens to normal people looking into mob hits

[ If he's not going to pry into her more-telling-than-planned statements, she'll at least do him the same courtesy. ]

[lonelynotforsaken]

[Martin will remember this...]

I think we could all do with a professional's help on this island.
In more ways than one.
But I'll keep everyone apprised if anything changes with the feeling or I get a really strong pull in a different direction.

[obeir]

[ Weird feelings that Martin doesn't want to follow? That sounds awfully familiar. Maybe Chloe's not losing her mind, if Martin's been feeling it too. ]

What sort of weird feelings have you been experiencing, Martin? Like a compulsion to do something, or go somewhere?

[lonelynotforsaken]

Uh... yeah, actually? Have you been feeling it?

[obeir]

I think whatever I've been feeling's different. Almost but not quite claustrophobia, and not natural. It's only when I'm at the airfield.

[ He's been feeling something Leitner-induced strange at the airfield, and he's been able to pinpoint the location because it always lessens when he goes to check the weir or fetch water. He just hasn't been able to figure out what's causing it. Confined spaces have never previously bothered him, nor has being at the airfield caused any of these feelings up until recently, both of which have tipped him off to the cause not being natural. ]

But someone else has described those feelings of compulsion to me. Do you know where they were trying to lead you?

[lonelynotforsaken]

Oh-Oh! At the airfield? I- Yeah, I was getting that sense, too, while I was there. It, um... it's part of why I headed out with Jet so quickly. I thought I was just being antsy, though? Eager to start.

[Forcefully stubborn, more like.]

I'm not sure where the feelings were leading specifically, but the best I can tell is they want me to go to the cabin. We were skirting around it when it got the worst.
