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. )

( She's going to be cut off from this shortly, and end up having it... brought along presumably or else she won't understand anyone real, real quick here. )
No ambulances here. Woowoo? Dragombulance?
( Is the last thing before people are there and clearly picking Alex up, preparing to take her to the hospital. Which makes the destination clear, either way! )
no subject
[Which is exactly what they will be doing! Julie's not going to feel comfortable until she sees Alex for herself to make sure she's okay.]
no subject
( She says, before her voice is lost in the whole transfer process. Away to the hospital she goes! Where she'll probably be asleep when Julie and Kera arrive, but she's not sleeping too deeply, if they come into her room.
There's no IV in her, she pulled it out earlier, and the monitor for her heart shows a steady, stable heartbeat. )
no subject
The stable readings on the monitor are reassuring. Julie had no idea what to think from the strange disembodied audio messages. Actually seeing Alex for herself helps a lot.]
Psst... Are you awake?
