004 ~ [Dream]

[disruptstatice]

Warnings: Leo's dreams kind of come with automatic spoiler warning now that I think about it... Yeah, spoiler warning, for latest chapter (63 that is, that isn't yet actually scanlated) and arc etc etc. But not the biggest ever, especially not if you don't click the image, I don't think?
Effects: Optional; first unease, then some kind of peace,

[Normally he wouldn't care, but there is something too familiar about all of this.]

They've lied to you you know.

[voice]

[disruptstatice]

[Haha, no video here. No stranger is allowed to see him like this.

...]

Eh?

[voice]

[nie_unschuldig]

[Very telling, more so than video might be...]

It frightens them to learn there are things they can't or don't see or hear and so they lie.

[voice]

[disruptstatice]

[Maybe so. Doesn't matter, really.]

..who?

[The voices?]

[voice]

[nie_unschuldig]

Those who would make you feel you're the wrong one for being different, when it's really them who are just normal.

[voice]

[disruptstatice]

[Ah...

He pauses. That is...]

Isn't that the same thing? That makes it wrong, doesn't it?

[voice]

[nie_unschuldig]

No. Fear is no excuse for stupidity, and that's how they react.

That we're different makes us better than them, not less than. Not to be hidden away or made to be ashamed of who and what we are.

[voice]

[disruptstatice]

Better?

[How is seeing weird lights better? How is hearing voices better? No, there's no way he can believe that.

And that's probably fairly obvious in his tone.]

[voice]

[nie_unschuldig]

Yes. What a shame you weren't properly taught, once you have a grasp of it you'd understand how it's better.

[He has no idea how the lights work, but there are definite pluses to telepathy.]

[voice]

[disruptstatice]

Grasp of what?

[He's not sure what there is to have a grasp of, and even if he did... He doubts he would want to.]

[voice]

[nie_unschuldig]

How to use it and not let it overwhelm you. Telepathy's especially a bitch, but you've survived this long.

He's impressed actually. Most don't last too long without training to block out most of the crap.]

[voice]

[disruptstatice]

Use it? I just want it to go away!

[And that's... not something he intended to let out, really. Ugh. Damn it.]

[voice]

[nie_unschuldig]

We all have at one time or another. But, for better or worse, we are what we are and it's better to use to our advantage what we are able.

[voice]

[disruptstatice]

It's not me!

[It doesn't feel a part of him so, really, how can it be? This guy...]

[voice]

[nie_unschuldig]

That's like saying your hand isn't you; of course it's not, but it is a part of you. Hating it or denying it isn't going to change that.

[voice]

[disruptstatice]

I've managed to shut them out before.

[He'll just do it again.]
