WHO: Hama Sun
WHERE: Safehouse
WHEN: Mid-March
WHAT: Catchall
NOTES OR WARNINGS: Potentially discussions of cult stuff, including loss of autonomy and brainwashing.
Safehouse
[ The safehouse isn't that bad, Hama's decided. It's crowded, sure, and there isn't a whole lot of privacy, but she's got a whole bed to herself and plenty of hot water to wash her hair. And there's food, lots of food, all the food she could ever want in the world. It's pretty good in the safehouse, on balance, and it's totally cool she hasn't left in two weeks. For sure.
It's just. New Amsterdam is so loud and sometimes Hama feels like the sidewalk is going to start cracking around her and really, the whole kidnapping thing wasn't so good. So she'd rather just. Avoid that part. So far as she can tell, nobody's gotten kidnapped straight out of the safehouse.
So really, that's just common sense.
She can be found wandering around at all hours writing digital notes, trying to bother anyone and everyone when they come for breakfast - first by offering them tea and then, when they're distracted, pouncing with the questions - and in the wee hours of the morning, practicing with a switchblade.
She's definitely not going stir crazy. Why would you ever think that? ]
Dream
[ There is a cave carved into a mountain, a fire burning at the entrance, and a much younger Hama crouched down and staring out at the rain. In this place, and this time, she's around ten years old. The rain is coming down so hard it's impossible to see more than ten feet beyond the cave. Thunder booms in the distance and Hama flinches.
She's holding a knife, but she doesn't know how to do anything else except hold it and wait, turning it over and over again in her hands. All nervous energy. ]
They're going to come back.
[ She glances up, still clutching the knife. She's dressed in ratty clothes, a too-big coat secured to her with a length of rope for a belt, and her hair is wild, curls flying in every direction. She's alone. There are three packs by her side and a careful observer might notice a dark pattern splattered across the wall behind her, the distinctive pattern of arterial blood, but there are no adults to be found. Not for miles. ]
Mama promised.

[ Or so she's been told. Hama never met them and her mother doesn't like to talk about what came before. Hama used to wonder about what her grandparents did that was so bad, so evil, that they got tossed all the way down to the Char to die. Did they murder someone? Did they stage a coup? Or were they just the wrong type of people? There's no way of knowing, not without asking her mother, and Shayla is the Dread Mother, and she above all others is allowed her secrets.
Hama shrugs. It's in the past. The future is brighter. ]
It's not like here at all. But I've done all sorts of research. I know the history of lots of planets. But...
[ Well. She shifts from foot to foot. ]
It's a little weird. Being outside. The sky is so...big.

Or maybe he's totally off track. Empathy's never been his strong suit. ]
Nice at night. Can see stars. Better outside cities.
[ The last words are said with a slight downward twist of his lip; he doesn't like the interference caused by city lights. ]
