[Elena wakes up early as she always does. She doesn't recognize the room she's in, but she has a vague sense that this is where she's supposed to be right now. So, she doesn't panic or start trying to find her parents or Jeremy. They'll come for her eventually, she's sure. And besides, Mommy always said that if she was ever lost to not panic. Instead, she just hops out of bed and starts looking for her diary. When she can't find it, she settles for an empty journal she finds after pawing around through the things in her room.]

[She lays on her bed, writing away for a while until she starts to get hungry for some breakfast. But before she heads to the mess hall, she's looking for Racetrack. The first place she thinks to look, is naturally Racetrack's room. She scampers off, barefoot and still in her PJs with her new diary and knocks impatiently and loudly on her door.]

Racetrack, wake up!

spam - open.
[Elena can be found all over the Barge. Usually she's sitting and keeping to herself with just her journal - even if she's decided to just plop down in a hallway - writing away and humming a made-up song. Sometimes she's drawing in her journal for parts of her stories because she's pretty certain she's going to write a lot of kid's books because she's such a great "drawerer" on top of being a writer. Sometimes she's just exploring and wandering - though still with her journal. She doesn't let it out of her sight ever and she won't let you hold it either. She's a little more wary of the adults than she is the other kids (you aren't supposed to talk to strangers, after all), but she still has a smile for everyone regardless.]

[Elena's holding the communicator upside down, but doesn't seem to realize or possibly care all that much.]

((ooc: Elena is affected by the flood and is currently 7 years old. All responses will come from usedtobe!))

[Damn right she does. Once he's sure she's following along, he loosens his grip some, but doesn't slow any until they're on deck.]

See? It's fine.

[usedtobe]

[Elena appears to be trying to sink through the floor.]

You don't think it's creepy?

[brothermayi]

No. It's really cool. Look at all that sky!

[Space, sky, tomato, tomahto.]

[usedtobe]

[You mean that horrifying black hellscape.]

[Elena glances up and immediately looks down.]

The sky doesn't look like that.

[brothermayi]

At night it does. Kind of.

[usedtobe]

But there's no moon.

[This girl still sleeps with a nightlight. dwi.]

[brothermayi]

You can just pretend there's a moon.

[usedtobe]

[Elena looks at Cassel a little skeptically. u r messin with her...]

[brothermayi]

[He waggles his fingers. ~Use your imagination.~]

[usedtobe]

[Okay, fine. She'll try it.]

[At first, she thinks this is silly and how can it possibly change anything, but then she really puts her mind to it and suddenly it doesn't seem so bad. She starts to pretend the moon is there, she just can't see it. And just like that, she stops clinging to Cassel so much.]

[But then she starts doing it again, only this time to hug him because thanks and she's all smiles.]

[brothermayi]

[Wait, wait. What? Hugs? How?]

[He squirms a little, trying to get away.]

[usedtobe]

[No, sssshhh. Taste the love, Cassel. Taste it.]

[jk, she lets go once he starts squirming and moves away from him to look over the railing tentatively.]

[brothermayi]

[Just gonna pretend this never happened. Cooties!!]

[He does step over to the rail with her, though.]

See? Told you.

[usedtobe]

It's still kinda scary.

[No one likes a braggart, Cassel. Stahp.]

[brothermayi]

Yeah, but it's better, right? At least a little?

[Pout. C'mon Elena!!]

[usedtobe]

A little.

[Fine, you can have a bone, Cassel. Shut up. B|!!!!!]
