Schuldig, are you alive still here? Are you alright?


Brainiac 5,

I'm sorry, Sean is gone. I'll explain everything later.


Badou,

I need to talk to you immediately. I promise he's gone.


Sora/Matt,

Are you yourself again?


Haku/Chris,

Please tell me you're yourself.

...what happened to Schuldig?

[byname-bynature.livejournal.com]

He was trying to stop me from being an imbecile and we were attacked. It was some sort of... horse-like thing. He was struck by a bolt of what I assume was electricity, and he stopped breathing. Haku managed to resuscitate him, but I don't know if he kept breathing once the night was over. Electric shock is very, very serious.

I'm so sorry Yohji. This is my fault.

I hope, for several reasons, Schuldig lives.

[byname-bynature.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, I take full responsibility for whatever has happened to him.

That is not something you want to say to someone like me. You do not know me, so I will overlook it.

[byname-bynature.livejournal.com]

I may be hysterical, but I'm not one to pass off my mistakes as something I did when I was 'not myself'. I do not know you, but I know myself.

--A.F. II

[quickdrawbkiddo.livejournal.com]

And do you feel your mistake is worth the collection of your life in payment for his?

[byname-bynature.livejournal.com]

I don't know yet. It depends on whether or not he's still alive.

--A.F. II

[quickdrawbkiddo.livejournal.com]

That is why I will overlook your statement.

[byname-bynature.livejournal.com]

Well, if he's still alive, I'll request that you not kill me. However, if he is not, then I can and will not avoid the backlash of those who were connected to him.

How are you connected to him, if I may ask?

--A.F. II

[quickdrawbkiddo.livejournal.com]

If he lives, then there is no reason to end your life.

We are of like minds. If you consider that a form of friendship, than feel free to do so.

[byname-bynature.livejournal.com]

I believe I would...

I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings with no answers or information.

--A.F. II

[quickdrawbkiddo.livejournal.com]

If he lives, he will make himself known to those he wishes to. I like to think I am one of the few. If the day passes without word? It will be an interesting night.

[byname-bynature.livejournal.com]

Indeed it will.

--A.F. II

[emotionl4arobot.livejournal.com]

It sounds like a lot happened. I'd be interested in hearing about it if you have time.

- Brainiac 5

[byname-bynature.livejournal.com]

Of course. Give me some time to calm down--I should be fine after Lunch. Is that alright with you?

--A.F. II

[emotionl4arobot.livejournal.com]

I think so. The announcement about therapy indicated the possibility of interruptions, but I don't have plans to meet with anyone else then.

- Brainiac 5

[byname-bynature.livejournal.com]

Just what I needed today. Therapy.

Let's hope neither of us is otherwise engaged at that time, then.

--A.F. II

[hesitant writing, somewhat off since he's writing with his other hand]

Are you alright? I woke up and you weren't there.

-Geoffrey

[emotionl4arobot.livejournal.com]

...Geoffrey? Yes, I'm fine. That's actually normal for nights here...

And how're you feeling?

- Brainiac 5

[deadlyjuliet.livejournal.com]

Ah...was I not supposed to contact you on the bulletin?

Ihave a headache my arm is

I'm doing quite well. Thank you. How are you?

-Geoffrey

[emotionl4arobot.livejournal.com]

I wasn't expecting it. Besides the nurses can make communication problematic.

I'm fine. I wasn't the one to get injured the night before, after all. Have you been having any other problems?

- Brainiac 5

[deadlyjuliet.livejournal.com]

Oh...Perhaps I should have my nurse pass you a note next time? She's rather helpful.

My head is a little fuzzy today, and it's a tad difficult to concentrate, but no, otherwise I'm alright. My nurse said I fell down the stairs though. Is that...normal? I don't recall falling down any stairs.

-Geoffrey

[emotionl4arobot.livejournal.com]

No, this works just as well now.

...that's probably to be expected. The effects of last night on you today, I mean. And as for what the nurses said... what do you remember happening? If it was different to what they told you, then that should explain why talking like this is difficult.

- Brainiac 5

[deadlyjuliet.livejournal.com]

Oh. Is it because I haven't taken breakfast yet? They used to say it's the most important meal of the day, after all.

Ah, and last night? I don't... want to say. You might get in trouble.

-Geoffrey

[emotionl4arobot.livejournal.com]

Eating would probably help, I imagine.

That's... what I remember as well. For what it's worth, I'm sorry it came to that.

- Brainiac 5

[deadlyjuliet.livejournal.com]

Hm...perhaps, yes. The food is rather nice here, don't you think? Although a bit of tea would be lovely at times...

Ah, please don't worry. It's really nothing I can blame you for, all things considered.

-Geoffrey

This had better be about the fucking weather.

[There is now a smiley face sticker over the word "fucking".]

[k4t4str0ph4l.livejournal.com]

I'm here.

[in German]

But something's wrong with my head.

[page is a little moist-ish]

[byname-bynature.livejournal.com]

[Some false starts] I bet my life on it, though I have to admit I was worried something had happened after we spoke.

[also in German]

Can you tell what it is yet?

[In German]

[k4t4str0ph4l.livejournal.com]

My telepathy isn't - working the way it should. Most of what I'm getting is like...static. White noise. And I can't hear your mind from where I am at all, even though you are back to normal - right?

[In German]

[byname-bynature.livejournal.com]

Sean couldn't read or write German. I'm more or less myself again--though seeing myself outside my body was somewhat traumatizing.

Anyway. Do you think it's possible the electricity short-circuited something? Is that how it works?

[In German]

[k4t4str0ph4l.livejournal.com]

Well, compared to all the other times I've been struck by lightning, this is definitely unique and unusual. How in hell would I know how it works, Arty?

[In German]

[byname-bynature.livejournal.com]

You're right, I'm sorry. I just thought you might know something about how electric shock affects telepaths...

Electricity can have adverse effects on the brain at high enough voltages. If it stopped your heart, it could have caused minor brain damage.

[In German]

[k4t4str0ph4l.livejournal.com]

Oh, wonderful.

[In German]

[byname-bynature.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry... this is my fault, and I know it. I can't fix this now, but when I can, I will--I promise.

[In German]

[k4t4str0ph4l.livejournal.com]

Entirely out of curiosity - how, exactly?

[In German]

[byname-bynature.livejournal.com]

Magic--and I mean that literally. Right now, I'm like a construction worker with a sledgehammer, but I know someone who has the finesse of a nano-surgeon. Maybe she can do something, when we get out...

It's cold comfort, I know...

[quickdrawbkiddo.livejournal.com]

You now have one less shadow to worry about.

Yep, I'm me again! I'm guessing you are too?
