[Voice]

[Syre's voice tonight is calm -- emotionless, even -- as she broadcasts over the journals.]

To all that I may have interacted with during this most recent of Shifts: let it be known that the name Ariadelle Estriet [--hatred creeps into her voice for that brief moment, dark and bitter--] is one that I prefer not to be addressed by.

I would not have my image sullied by taking on the name of a deserter.

[The feed stops shortly after that.]

[Written; Accidental]

[Much, much later that night, a series of quick notes show up. It seems Syre has mistaken her broadcast journal for the one she normally keeps research in.]

-- Energy expenditure in creation of all constructs 1.5 times normal. Care needed to avoid exhaustion.

-- Still unable to ~~give life to~~animate constructs for more than few seconds at a time. Related to power limits of enclosure(?).

-- Research required into alternate means of animating constructs. Must favor alchemic/magical practices; technological research too time-/resource-consuming.

-- Additional research required to grant construct minor magical/alchemic abilities; useful for construction of potential assistant(s).

[After the first broadcast Luke was worried, wondering what had happened. After the second, he was doubly so. Experiments in constructs? That reminded him a great deal of Sith Alchemy.]

Syre, are you alright?

[The feed comes on to show Syre's face, looking ragged from lack of sleep. She seems to be poring over the proper journal this time, copying down the notes she had scrawled in her accidental transmission.]

[She glances up at Luke for a moment, offering him a calm (if forced) smile.]

I'm well, considering the circumstances. And you? How are you tonight?

I'm well, all in all. Camping with Ami was a good decision.

[I missed all the chaos, he leaves unstated]

What happened, Syre?

[She's underlining something in her journal now, sparing a glance up at the camera in between re-reading her work.]

There was a Shift. Several... unsavory things happened.

['I was under the impression that I was in love with Lupin,' she bitterly adds in thought.]

Needless to say, moods are foul and tensions are generally high. I'm distracting myself.

If you need to talk, I'll listen and attempt to provide a distraction.

But if you'd prefer, I can leave you be. Though, being honest, you should not be alone if moods are that foul.

I wouldn't know where to start, to be honest.

[She puts her pen down, traces a finger along the line; re-reading it to make sure that her thoughts are still coherent despite her sleep deprivation.]

I just wish that our minds weren't so easily tampered with.

Start with something simple, and take a break from work. With as tired as you look, its clear you'll make mistakes if you keep going.

[Luke smiles into the camera, genuinely sympathetic. He's...been there before.]

Meet me by the fountain, and lets get tea. That tends to settle most worries.

...tea would be a welcome distraction.

[A small smile tugs at her lips as she shuts her research journal.]

I'll be there momentarily.

Good. See you shortly.

[Luke makes his way there, closing his journal and making his way down the street. Its only 4 houses away, so it takes him less than a minute.]

Cooking up a Golem, are we?

Perhaps.

Do you have experience with them?

Oh ho! Those are some interesting-looking notes. And why are we broadcasting them to the whole of Luceti?

Edited 2012-10-04 21:26 (UTC)

[By the time she's got the video feed on from her end, she's already frantically trying to copy her notes into the appropriate journal.]

Because I'm a blasted IDIOT, that's why.

Syre... [ oh dear. This does not sound good, not good at all. Helios bites his lip on his end. Perhaps he should leave her alone. But, no, it's probably best to talk about these things with someone. ]

I-I'm here if, if you wish to talk about it.

Oh, don't say that. We've all accidentally broadcast our top secret plans once in a while! Ho ho ho! But now that I've seen them I might as well enquire - one mad scientist to another, of course.

[Syre arrives moments after Luke, looking eager, if a little ragged.]

[She gives him a small wave as she draws nearer.]

Good evening.

[Spock looks over the notes... fascinating...]

Miss Syre? Is anything amiss?

...I'm not entirely sure if you were affected by this recent Shift, so I'll be brief:

I want to construct a sort of "living journal" in the event of massive memory loss happening again.

Helios.

[The one person that might understand this whole mess.]

...this most recent Shift has left me... hurt.

[There's silence on her end for a bit, before she sighs.]

There are a few things that are, yes.

The most pressing of which is me composing my research notes in the wrong journal.

They seem to unlike anything that I have ever dealt with. Are you in need of assistance?

Also, it would seem that the most recent 'shift' has not spared you. Are you....okay?

Not right now, though I do thank you for the concern.

[It's at this point she throws on an unhackable filter. She does not want prying ears.]

...Are you familiar with one Arsene Lupin III?

Syre...

[ He understands, oh boy, how he understands those words. ] I'm. I'm sorry that it has. It's not fair what-what these shifts do to us. Not in the least. What...what h-happened if, if you don't mind my asking?

[Spock flushes completely green at the question.]

I...yes. We are acquainted.

...the event placed us into a rather...

...unsavory predicament.

[Being vague here, at least until she can work up the nerve.]
