spam - racetrack.
[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.]

Anybody know where I can get some chalk? I wanna play hopskotch.

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

[ She reaches out, to nudge Elena back into her lap. If Elena doesn't want to go, there will just be a hug.

What a terrible, terrible question that is, from the innocent and very alive little girl next to Racetrack. It takes a lot to stay calm when she answers. ]


I think we're going to be close to your home in a few days. Then you can go home any time you like.

[ It's a nice lie, anyway. Maybe Elena will be happier if that's what she thinks. ]

[Elena lets herself be pulled in Racetrack's lap. She twists around though so she can hug Racetrack back.]

I hope Mommy and Daddy aren't worried about me. And that Jeremy's okay. I'm his big sister. I'm supposed to look out for him and help him if he needs any.

I'm sure they'll be okay for a little while without you.

Maybe they'll throw you a party when you get back.

Would you invite me?

Of course!

[Like duh, Racetrack. You saved Earth in the story. Of course you get to come to the party.]

Well, what kind of party do you want?

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmmm...

I think I'd want a party like a birthday party! But everybody gives each other gifts like Christmas instead of just one person.

Absolutely.

So, what else do you want? Cake?
