How d'you know if you're cursed?

[a pause. She's been hearing voices in her head and she doesn't know why - all she knows is that they're telling her to do bad things. Very, very bad things.

(Someone forgot she's possessed.)]

I think I'm going crazy. I can't sleep, a-and - I'm kinda really scared I might do something.

I can't make it stop.

I don't really know how to dance, though. I mean - not professionally or anything.

[niehaus]

That's totally fine. You're doing it for yourself, not anyone else.

[emulation]

Well... where can I get some music?

[niehaus]

Hm. Not sure about that.

But you know, you don't always need music to dance.

[emulation]

It's kinda weird if you don't have any, though.

[niehaus]

Mm. Do you remember any songs from home? You could try and imagine them playing as you dance.

[emulation]

[good suggestion, yo.]

... I can do that. Maybe singing will make my head quiet down.

[niehaus]

And if it's not enough, you can always just talk to someone and let it all out. I wouldn't mind listening if you need to talk to someone.

I'm Cosima.

[emulation]

Cosima. [a beat.] I'm Katie.

[niehaus]

Katie. ( she nods, committing it to memory, though katie wouldn't see that. )

Have you been having any other problems?

[emulation]

No, not really. I mean - nothing like this. Just normal stuff, considering this place.

[niehaus]

That's good.

Though, if you don't mind me asking, how old are you? ( she looked really young to cosima in the original video post. )

[emulation]

I'm twelve. Why?

[niehaus]

You just seem too young to have to be here.

But, I guess Asgard doesn't discriminate based on age.

[emulation]

I'm not the only kid. There's at least two other kids younger than me. [so. yeah.]

[niehaus]

Way too young to be involved in anything war-related.

[emulation]

... Yeah, but. It's not like we can do anything about it.
