002: [VOICE] Here's a thought...

[thecheerleader.livejournal.com]

[Claire has been sitting on this idea for a couple of days. She's hesitant to act on it with Peter and Nathan in the city, but they'll get over it eventually. She clears her throat and makes sure she's on the right setting before pitching her question to whoever might be listening.]

Has anyone figured out how to get their bracelet off?

In theory, if someone were to, um, cut off their wrist, would they be forced to put on a new bracelet, or would it be gone for good?

What do you expect to happen, then?

It's just a tracking device, I reckon. Want to keep note of our movements, like when they clip the ears of the lions on those nature shows. You ever see that movie with the dancing penguins?

[voice]

Happy Feet?

What if the bracelets are somehow keeping us tied to this place?

[voice]

[lessritual.livejournal.com]

Ah, that's the one! They had 'em in that, too, if I remember correctly.

Well, it's a thought, but I'd doubt it. The fact that it's a giant cave with no exits is what's keeping us from leaving. I'd work on the barriers before I started choppin' things off.

[voice]

[thecheerleader.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but we're not penguins.

If there's no exit, then how did we get in here in the first place?

[voice]

[lessritual.livejournal.com]

Well, no, but penguins don't generally croon out Elvis tunes, either. It's a metaphorical thing.

I dunno, seemed like some sort of teleporter to me. I'm not really up on the geek tech.

So we're just going to let them track us and monitor everything in our lives down to our midnight snacks. That makes a lot of sense.

Look, I'm not exactly jumping for joy about it, but I like my hand. I use it for things. Up to and including diggin' my way out of here, if it comes to that. The tossers can watch all they want.

But feel free to give your little theory a test! Let me know how it goes, eh? Might want to have someone medically inclined on hand, though, just in case you need yours back.

[voice]

[thecheerleader.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I won't need that.

[voice]

[lessritual.livejournal.com]

No? Well, that's new. Still, you might want to have someone along for the ride- y'know, in case your theory is the right one?

Who knows? Maybe you'll even start a new handless trend.

I'm not going to be - [Insert a frustrated cheerleader grumble here, because not explaining these things is harder than explaining them.] I know what I'm doing. I think.

[Insert an amused snort here, because he's mostly just been messing with her. Poor Claire.]

All right then, love. Maybe it is the key and you'll head straight out of here. I wish you luck, whatever happens.

[voice]

[thecheerleader.livejournal.com]

I hope it is. ...Thank you.
