un: plushiewarrior | VIDEO (in which alex sends a really powerful radio signal into the night)
( The wind's too loud to hear anything at first, catching the earpiece at exactly the wrong angle. Then Alex waves, smiling with that glassy eyed look that significantly tipsy people can end up wearing. It's dark behind her, but anyone very, very familiar with the skyscraper rooftops in Nova City will recognize she's on one of them. )
Hiii! Oh, it is... so not as cold up here as I expected!
( She laughs a little, throwing her hands up into the air and stumbling forward to likewise toss her arms around part of a metal structure, possibly a radio tower. Alex rests her head on it, her laughter trailing off as she smiles, a little bittersweet. )
I wanted to send a message. A big one! A big... message. So I thought, what if you had a lot... I mean a lot of power behind a radio signal? Won't that do something? We just want to be heard...
( Her eyes close, and it doesn't seem like she's doing anything. Then the tower starts to hum, lighting up with a soft sort of glow under her hands. Anyone tuned into its frequency will hear a humming too, almost like static feedback, that starts to sound more like a heartbeat. Hers. Then a clearer message with that beating in the background: Echo. Come in, Echo.
Then it really starts to glow, until the whole radio tower is a beacon of light. There is no way for the tower to handle that much energy for long. Alex's brow furrows as she's swallowed by the light, the overpowered radio signal shooting up a moment later, all the light abruptly going out as it fizzles upward, a misleading manifestation of what went without being visible to most eyes. Alex is left clinging to a partially melted structure, pushing herself away to stand, swaying. )
... Did that... oh. I don't... feel so good...
( Which is when she goes boneless, dropping out of frame to hit the rooftop in a muffled thud, close to passing out. Luckily her earpiece is still recording! ... About four feet higher than her current head level. Enjoy your scene of a warped radio tower and the otherwise unremarkable rooftop, Etraya. )

Anyway, just stay there until they get you. And...uh...maybe avoid passing out on roofs in the future? That seems dangerous.

( Trying to capture the idea of how these constellations are unrecognizeable, but she enjoys them, regardless. Stars have always been a comfort. All those beautiful possibilities out there, and all the horrors that fill in the spaces between. )
Mmm... 'sonly dangerous if I fall off. Right?
no subject
Sure, we can do that. Maybe when we meet up for my nail trim.
[Star gazing and a nail trim, it's a perfect combo.]
It is only dangerous when you fall, but you seem a bit out of it, and you were really drunk, so falling seems a bit more likely right now.
[She at least seems like she's sobered up some since the initial post, so that's something.]

( Bless wandering the Korean market, it has unearthed a treasure of random pet supplies in the process. It seems like such a great, silly mix of activities, she wishes she had the energy or the breathing room to spare for laughing. Instead she sucks in a pained breath, closing her eyes more firmly down on the rooftop. )
... 'mm not that clumsy. Usually. Just... make bad decisions. When drunk. I get... impulsive.
( This may, in fact, be an understatement. Alex is probably not the person you want to provide alcohol to and not have a wrangling plan for. )

( What does that have to do with anything, Alex... )
