I think that last event might have been mine. I used to guard portals to other universes, and now that I'm thinking clearly it really felt like that was behind the door. The person I guarded them for sometimes put them in inaccessible places. For privacy.

[She shifts in her seat, not knowing how the rest of the Mansion would react.] Can I know who ( Read more... )

( Application! )

[Despite the fact that the video just comes on, it's easy to feel the sheer amount of panic coming through the screen. The camera is jostled several times, until it shows Elaine kneeling in front of it, submerged in a kaleidoscope of colors. All around her are glowing orbs. Green ones, blue ones, orange, all of them spinning rapidly. More appear by ( Read more... )

[Elaine clears her throat, sitting in an empty room. Her finger is bleeding from a small cut, which she's put to her mouth.]

...Angel, did you change rooms?

[Her eyes are just a little wider than normal. Instead of their usual blank whiteness, they're a tiny bit red, as though they'd been scratched at repeatedly.]

[The video comes on to darkness, then the familiar green glow in Elaine's room that means that Mhairi isn't in its usual cardboard box.

She breathes deep, the fresh air flowing in and out of her. This world is her; she is the world. When she's angry, it becomes barren and filled with biting cold snow. When ( Read more... )

I think this is the longest I've gone without sleeping.

[She holds a hand to her forehead, but she sounds awake and alert. A small origami book is on the desk in front of her. Covering her floor are several hundred origami paper cranes.]

I don't like this event so much. [She finishes the final fold on a crane, puts it aside, and smiles furtively ( Read more... )

Not a very pleasant event. Wonderland really does bring out the worst in us.

Sorry I wasn't able to help out more. I... didn't really know what to do. [Shaking her head, she remembers Seeu's solution. She doubts it's something she could have done.]

[She leans back into her chair, her expression suddenly a bit harder.] Things seem to be moving ( Read more... )
