[Allelujah is leaning against a tree, covering his face. His shoulders are shaking somewhat, and he's mostly silent save for a whimper every so often. He's spent the last good while thinking he's seen other supersoldier children in the corner of his vision, both living and corpses, some shot, some badly burned.]Stop it. Stop it, stop following me

[First Neil, and now Allelujah? Something's not right, and he looks at his comrade with a concerned expression.]

Allelujah, please clarify. Who is following you?

[electrum_duet]

[He jumps a little again, but calms down upon recognition of the voice.]

Tieria. I... [He shakes his head.] I'm seeing things, I have to be seeing things. You haven't seen any children around, have you?

[macabreprincess]

[A laugh trickles down the tree.]

All children dancing around... Here and there, everywhere... No peace for you! Such a pretty game. Hide and seek. Princess is good at that.

[The leaves rustle a bit when Dru moves around in the tree.]

[electrum_duet]

I--- What--

Who are you?!

[ilusionoscura]

Seeing... what should not be seen?

[electrum_duet]

...to say the least.

[ilusionoscura]

Have you encountered a sort of hallucinogenic plant? Or... are they caused by something different?...

[not_that_lockon]

You're seeing stuff too, huh?

[electrum_duet]

Something's there, I know it is. They're hiding. I don't know why they're here.

[not_that_lockon]

Probably for the same reason that I keep seeing bloody A-Laws round every corne -- [He breaks off halfway through his sentence and turns round quickly at some imaginary sound.]

[electrum_duet]

A-Laws?

[He runs a hand through his hair, sighing. By now, there are dark circles under his eyes--it's pretty obvious he hasn't been able to get much sleep in the past day or so.]

I don't understand what's going on. [He's muttering to himself at this point.] My head, I can feel them here...
