[The voices are getting to him. He's trying to pretend like they aren't, but it's harder to pretend like everything's okay when he can't ignore the voices of people he's left behind, telling him it's not. Bobby'd shifted into his ice form, wanting the distance being made of ice helped him with

[Raven hasn't destroyed anyone's pumpkins yet. She can't really bring herself to do it but she is outside amongst them, feeling numb as she stares into the faces of the people she'd left back home.

Erik's face was there too. She'd spent a long time staring at his pumpkin but had left it, and walked away.

It's when he's talking to the pumpkins that she finds him, and she's rubbing roughly at her cheek with the heel of her hand when she ies him.]

Bobby?

[Shit. Of all of the people he didn't want to see him talking to a pumpkin, Raven's pretty much at the top of the list.

Not a great impression, when you meant to just get rid of the damn thing, and instead found yourself actually replying to it, like it was going to hear you and talk back.

He turns to face her, then frowns when he sees her rubbing at her cheek.]

Raven? Are you okay?

[That's a stupid question. Of course she's probably not okay.]

[She tried to smile at him as she came over, twirling a piece of her hair.]

Yeah, sure. I'm fine. Are you talking to the pumpkins?

[Not that she can blame him, really.]

[mister_10_below]

[Yeah, he's not buying that smile. But then, he can't manage one, either, so he can't blame her.]

Um. Kind of?

[No, Bobby, not kind of. You were totally talking to the pumpkin.]

Yeah. I didn't mean to, but they're... kind of hard to ignore.
