[Sara fixes an eye on the camera. She's about 12/13, but an early bloomer, and she looks mad as hell.]

Wasn't once enough? I'm not gonna do this again. I'm not going to hold still for another two months so you can do whatever the fuck you want to me again. I'm not gonna let you, you can kill me first. Or I'll kill you.

[She sounds determined, but she doesn't actually know what happened to her the first time she was abducted, only that it hurt. She's actually kind of terrified that she might remember it this time around.]

And all these little kids? What the hell is wrong with you people? All this cozy babysitting shit doesn't change the fact that we're prisoners. Let them go.

Any of you lay a hand on any of them and I'm breaking it the fuck off.

[After pretty much trashing the room she woke up in, Sara's found two things of interest: an NYPD badge - not her dad's, the number's wrong - and a .357 revolver. She's not a great shot, but she knows her way around a gun, and she manages to get it loaded and tucked in the back of her jeans. One of the shirts she found in the closet, unbuttoned, more or less hides it from casual inspection.

You can find her prowling the halls, watching out for adult malfeasance and looking like she doesn't need much more than an excuse.]

[OOC: Multithreads much encouraged. Prior warning for the likelihood of violence; Sara is a fighty angry mess at this stage of her life and won't hesitate to pull a gun on an adult or anyone claiming to have a degree of control over the situation. I am fine with/kind of expect her ending up in Zero. PP or PM me for any plot queries!]

[Oh.

Ohhh God this could be terrible.]

Sara? You're safe here. The kids are safe here.

[psychic_hotline]

[ -- well you're kind of young but maybe evil organizations have internships? Whatever, if you're talking this place up you're automatically the enemy.]

Fuck you. If the kids were safe they'd be home.

[peektuttut]

[Tim the evil intern. There is an Elseworlds somewhere that must have this.]

Jeez, language. [He's mostly teasing.] It isn't really that simple. I'd like to explain, but I don't really want to hang out with someone threatening to kill me.

[psychic_hotline]

And I don't want to hang out with someone who's torturing kids, so I guess that makes us even.

[peektuttut]

I am not torturing kids!

[Oh God what the hell has she gone through, that's. A little horrifying for her to just assume.]

This place is called the Barge. And sometimes, really weird things happen here, but not torture. Have you been to the deck yet?

[psychic_hotline]

Yeah. Really neat trick you've got there.

[peektuttut]

It's not a trick. It's real.

[psychic_hotline]

So what? We're on a spaceship. The - Barge, whatever. The fuck difference does it make? You've got a bunch of little kids here from God knows where to do God knows what.

[peektuttut]

Okay, look. This isn't just a normal spaceship, obviously. Sometimes things go weird here, and things happen to us. Once, I started singing to people. Last week, a lot of us turned into animals. Right now, most of the people on board, who are usually adults, are kids. Look through your device if you don't believe me. You're there.

What's your name?

[peektuttut]

Tim Drake.

[psychic_hotline]

Hi, Tim Drake.

If I see you out there I'm going to break your fucking teeth.

[Private]

[peektuttut]

[Oh Christ he cannot let her just wander the ship like this.]

How about I come to you and save us both the trouble of waiting?

[BRB FINDING SOMEWHERE TO HIDE.]

How about you take a bath with a hairdryer? I'm not going to just stand around and make your job easier.

[Private]

[peektuttut]

[HE LOVES HIDE AND SEEK]

And I'm not going to let you hurt anyone.

[Private]

[psychic_hotline]

Then tell your friends not to give me a reason to.

[Private]

[peektuttut]

They're your friends too. And they don't want to hurt you.

[Private]

[theboywonder]

We're not prisoners. We're supposed to be here.

[Private]

[psychic_hotline]

[Oh, and voice now, since we're on the move.]

They're NOT MY FRIENDS!

[Private]

[psychic_hotline]

Yeah, that's what they told me the first time, too.

[Private]

[theboywonder]

What happened?

[Private]

[peektuttut]

[Welp. He's slipping out into the hall to start scouting for her. :c]

They are, Sara. Look at the network, the adults here are looking out for the kids. Some of them are obviously surprised that there are kids here at all.

[Private]

[psychic_hotline]

You don't want to know.

[Aaaand she actually looks at her communicator.]

What the f...what are you wearing?

[Private]

[theboywonder]

[He does want to know, actually, but okay, he'll play along and answer your question first. Sometimes you had to give a little before people were willing to open up to you.]

My uniform. I'm Robin. I work with Batman.

[Slooowly working her way down from Level 2.]

Like I give a shit what a bunch of child-abusing kidnappers have got to say for themselves.
