TMC! Gabriel sketches

(+OC!Evangeline)

Let me question my beliefs once again......

[andreamoonlight143]

I’d normally think she’ll fit either as a Monster High OC? Or Mandela Catalogue one? Tbh it’s quite confusing that she’s both creepy yet “freaky” at the same time.

cut down the altar!

(just a quick idea that wouldn't let me rest until i wrote it down. takes place between chapters 13 and 14. based on a thought i've had a few times about non-sleeper agent people who aren't afraid of alternates. word count: 1.5k)

02/10/2009 Radio Interview

A. Torres: You’re now listening to an exclusive interview with Alternate Behaviorist, Rebecca Sharpe! Thanks for stopping by the studio today, Rebecca.

R. Sharpe: Thank you so much, Anna.

A. Torres: Right, so, where to start? (laughter) I guess, how did you get into this line of work? You know, there was a study back in 2001 I believe: “95% of Americans doubt the validity of the Wisconsin Alternate Crisis.” Did you have any doubts when deciding on your career path?

R. Sharpe: Well, it all started with the loss of my husband… I guess you could say I have a personal stake in this subject.

A. Torres: I see. I’m sorry for your loss.

R. Sharpe: When I heard the news of his passing, I knew there had to be an explanation. A more concrete explanation. You know, back then – he passed in ’92 – there was a lot of superstition surrounding alternates. No one wanted to risk getting too close to them, so information was scarce.

A. Torres: Right.

R. Sharpe: And you know what happens when there’s a lack of information or transparency. Fear and magical thinking start to fill in the blanks. I wasn’t satisfied with that, so… Here I am!

A. Torres: Excellent. So, prior to, you know, the elephant in the room – and don’t worry listeners, we’ll get to it soon. But prior to the Type 6 situation, how did you do your research?

R. Sharpe: Well, it’s not too different from studying any other dangerous life-form. I suppose in layman’s terms, you could think of it as a combination of field research and… maybe microbiology?

A. Torres: Microbiology? Interesting!

R. Sharpe: Well, there's a viral nature to how alternates hunt. Sometimes you have to let one take hold in an uninhabited area to best understand their methods. It's like a large-scale version of studying a deadly virus in a Petri dish.

A. Torres: Damn.

R. Sharpe: Yeah. I knew it was gonna be dangerous, but it’s necessary work. You’ve gotta keep your distance with these things. Have the same respect for their space that you would for, I don’t know, a great white or a lion.

A. Torres: Interesting word choice. “Respect.” People don’t usually think of alternates as beings deserving of respect.

R. Sharpe: I think it's… To be honest, Anna, I’m not really scared of alternates.

A. Torres: Really!?

R. Sharpe: I mean, at first I was! Like I said, they’ve impacted my life. But you know what I said about unknowns leading to fear? The opposite is also true: Knowledge can ease, if not eradicate fear.

A. Torres: Right, that makes sense. How do you feel about alternates now?

R. Sharpe: Honestly… Gosh, this is gonna make me sound crazy. (laughter)

A. Torres: (laughter) Oh, come on! You can’t be any crazier than me.

R. Sharpe: Okay. Well, honestly, I find them utterly fascinating. We’re learning a lot – especially with the introduction of Type 6s – about not just their behavioral patterns, but about the very nature of intelligence and sentience.

A. Torres: Oh, we’re gonna get philosophical? Hang on, let me grab some vodka.

R. Sharpe: (laughter) (bottle clinking) We don’t have to go that deep!

A. Torres: Nah, I’m ready to party!

R. Sharpe: (laughter) Well, if you insist! Just save some for me. (laughter)

A. Torres: I make no promises. (liquid pouring)

R. Sharpe: Well, anyway, what I’m getting at is… There really aren’t any other creatures in the animal kingdom with our kind of sentience, right? There are intelligent animals, of course. We all know about how smart dolphins, parrots, crows, octopi – we all know there’s other intelligent species on our planet. But you can’t have a discussion with a parrot, can you? Even if they know how to talk, the parrot can’t really describe its perspective on its existence. But alternates – provided keep them at arms length – can. In fact, we have a few reports from survivors of MAD who spent days in the presence of an alternate, and they’re apparently very chatty about themselves.

A. Torres: Indeed. You know, between you and me – and my dear listeners, of course, though they already know this – I’m pretty close to the Alternate Crisis myself.

R. Sharpe: Right, your nephew-

A. Torres: Yep. He had a really close call with one of them. Even lost… The kid may have just been his close friend, but honestly, he was like another son to my sister, another nephew to me…

R. Sharpe: I’m so sorry…

A. Torres: Yeah… But what he told me does corroborate what you’re saying. There really isn’t anything quite like them… And on that note, I think I’ve kept my listeners waiting long enough. Let’s get into the Type 6s.

R. Sharpe: Oh yes, let’s!

A. Torres: So, according to my research, you have a personal stake in this matter too, right?

R. Sharpe: Indeed.

A. Torres: Care to share the story?

R. Sharpe: Well, it was quite a hectic day of work. We were getting report after report about these new, non-hostile alternates. Like, getting tens of reports within a second. It was crazy!

A. Torres: I’ll bet.

R. Sharpe: Then one of my coworkers calls me over. “Your daughter was sharing a dorm with a guy named Sam, right?” I said, “Yeah, why?” It turns out he called to report that my own daughter is a Type 6!

A. Torres: Damn! I can’t even imagine… How did you process it? Do you still think of her as your daughter?

R. Sharpe: I do. I mean, I still haven’t seen her yet. I know that’s a common thread with the reports, that there’s this initial shock from their appearance. But I’ll be seeing her tomorrow, and when she gets here, I don’t plan on treating her any different than I did before the change.

A. Torres: I’m sure she’ll appreciate that. I don’t know any Type 6s, or anyone who’s close to one, but I’ve been watching some videos people have taken when their loved ones turned. It seems like it’s a painful process…

R. Sharpe: Yeah. I mean, they’re basically rearranging their whole bodies. Our current theory is that the reversion happens on the cellular level. Every single cell gets destroyed and recreated in an instant.

A. Torres: God damn… I can see why they’re getting some sympathy from folks.

R. Sharpe: It’s that; probably the familiarity too.

A. Torres: And on that note, here’s the big question everyone wants answered: Why let them evacuate, and is it safe?

R. Sharpe: Let’s start with the question of safety. As far as any of us can tell – and I’ve been up close with alternates for over two decades now – it is safe to remain in proximity with a Type 6. Not only are they generally not hostile towards humans, but many of them have exhibited hostility towards other, non-Type 6 alternates.

A. Torres: Really? Why do you think that is?

R. Sharpe: Hard to say. The few Type 6s who reported themselves, they were highly reluctant to shed light on their relation to other alternates. What we have gathered is that there appears to be some kind of mental link between all alternates. It’s possible this may be some form of territorial behavior. Like, “These humans are mine, either go find your own or we’re gonna have a problem.”

A. Torres: Then I’ll bet you and Sam are going to be very safe with… What’s your daughter’s name?

R. Sharpe: Delilah.

A. Torres: Delilah, right. And what’s the scoop on the evacuation?

R. Sharpe: It goes back to what I was saying about sentience. Beyond the moral implications around mass-executing sentient beings so similar to ourselves, we also now have access to a much safer avenue for alternate behavior studies. Before this, you had to basically take your life and your psyche into your own hands for this line of work. But not only are Type 6s easier to understand on the linguistic level, but they actually seem to avoid inducing MAD!

A. Torres: For real? Any theories as to why that might be?

R. Sharpe: It’s the same territorial theory. Only instead of what you usually see in other animals, where they get territorial over food, land, or mates, it seems to be social in nature. They don’t want to maintain their human relationships as a means to an end; having these relationships is the end.

A. Torres: You know, I think I’m starting to get where your fascination comes from. In fact… okay, this is where I prove that I’m crazier than you.

R. Sharpe: Now I’m intrigued!

A. Torres: Is it weird that I kind of want to meet a Type 6?

R. Sharpe: (laughter) Well, I said Delilah would be over tomorrow! Maybe you can meet her then!

A. Torres: (laughter) I’d love that! Well, unfortunately, I think that’s all the time we have, Rebecca. Once again, thank you for coming by. I’m sure your words have put a lot of people at ease regarding Type 6s.

R. Sharpe: My pleasure!
