Dari sat stiffly with the others in the dining room, watching on as Colleen snuck off with the captain and Nari and Damian went to save the ship. Dari still didn't believe this was happening. If she weren't so well in control of her emotions, she would be scowling. This is impossible, she repeated in her head. Time changed depending on how fast you were moving, that was true, but time could not go backward or forward. Time was too fluid for that, and humans were too linear. Dari had enjoyed her first year physics classes, unlike her sister, and was pretty sure that their father hadn't been working on anything related to time, either. He was a chemist, usually. Perhaps this was just a delusion.
Yes, that's it, Dari thought. A delusion. With my sister. Who is having strange feelings for the fellow characters in this delusion. Dari shook her head slightly, attempting to clear it. She might as well relax into this. Nari had taken her computer to use, but she had looked up what a circus freak was before the computer was taken away. It was getting late, and the fellow passengers were glancing expectantly at the remaining troupe. Dari stared hard at a few of the passengers, willing them to wonder about her eyes. She was sure not many people would have mismatched eyes in this time period. Especially light pink ones.
She cocked her head toward the Doc. "The people here wish to see a performance," Dari said softly. "Shall we create a distraction while the others execute their roles?" Dari was not nearly as good at acting out without her twin, but Nari had more important things to do, if this ship really was about to kill people. Perhaps her robotic demeanor, youth's body, and scanty clothing would be enough. Her clothing certainly was scanty by the audience's standards. "We can at least attract some attention so that no one leaves and discovers the others," she said aloud again.
