07 | Visual/Location: Pedestrian Plaza | Tied up or dressed up, she's a prisoner

Dec 19, 2011 18:41

The tablet turns on before things get weird, so Taxon gets a quick upshot glance at the bare midriff exposed at Gwen's hip, underneath her heavy pea coat. There's some shuffling, so it's clear she's on the move. And then all movement stops.

Gwen hears a voice, smooth and low...and barely perceptible. But it's there, like a whisper coming from ( Read more... )

"You're goin' absolutely crazy, zonerat," Tall, lanky shoulders hunch up in a shrug and his face scrunches as if to say, 'sorry, but it's the truth.'

"Better getcha to a hospital. Amputation's probably necessary. ssssshhhhhikt off it goes. Off with her head." He nods, firmly, liberty spikes bouncing despite the amount of god-knows-what he uses to hold them up.

"Royal execution for the brown haired crazy."

A little line forms between her eyebrows as she squints at the tablet. She waits until he's done gabbing, wondering if he's drunk, and trying to remember if she missed a new arrival.

"Aaaand...who are you, exactly?"

"Your subconscious is forming a solid, resolute being of a wild appearance to counteract your mental strength diminishing due to the toll Taxon's taking on you and how you perceive things such as reality. A spirit guide of sorts, now that you're batshit insane."

A pause.

"Sorry I look like this. If I'd have known you would have been going crazy today I would have cleaned up a little. Cologne, maybe."

[ visual ] freaks_myword December 20 2011, 00:30:33 UTC

Ooh, so insanity's today's theme. Now Gwen gets it. And...wait. Is that a crack on her hair?

She rolls her eyes. "I'll try to send out invitations earlier next time," she retorts, but there's no trace of good-humor on her face.

"Possibly crazy, but I think it's unlikely," Kobra points out, matter of fact. "Have you eaten lately? Had something to drink?" The first craziness of the zones is dehydration and Kobra's gone through that once. It was terrible.

"Or maybe some of your wiring is wrong?" He doesn't mean it in a bad way, it's just the way Kobra's brain works, and Gwen's electricity thing is fascinating him.

[visual] freaks_myword December 20 2011, 20:47:20 UTC

She nods, because unlike some people, she eats on the regular. But fact Kobra somehow being the voice of reason, here? Kind of makes her all the more unsure of her sanity.

"I'm not a playstation," she replies, snappily, despite the fact that she can tell he's trying to help. She continues, a little calmer: "It doesn't make me hallucinate."

[visual] goodluck_kobra December 20 2011, 20:52:15 UTC

"Well I wouldn't know," Kobra points out with a shrug. There's tons of stuff he doesn't get about her, but he's got a feeling his questions are not welcome at the moment.

"Could be a variety of reasons. I wouldn't think too much of it."

[visual] freaks_myword December 20 2011, 21:05:12 UTC

"Right," she huffs, with a nod. "Listen, cupcake, I'm telling you I heard something no one else heard, from someone who I'd bet 30 million dollars isn't here. I don't just need a good night's rest."

Gwen? Did you see something? [ It was more like someone. Helen had seen Ashley numerous times over the past few days but if it was happening to someone else also? Then it had to be Taxon's doing ]

[ visual ] freaks_myword December 20 2011, 20:49:43 UTC

[A surprising voice to hear on her tablet. But so far, she's gotten a big zero on the helpful information front. Whatever her qualms with Helen, she's not a dumb lady.]

Yeah. Well, no. [Pause] Heard, actually. Definitely heard.

[ visual ] longaevus December 20 2011, 20:53:17 UTC

Heard something that you shouldn't? Something that shouldn't been possible? [ She was going with it, unable to think of another reason. Or rather unwilling to. She'd seen Ashley's ghost, she didn't want to believe that there was more occurring here ]

[ visual ] freaks_myword December 20 2011, 21:03:20 UTC

[She nods, wary, wondering if Helen thinks she should lie down, or if there's understanding there.]

A dime a dozen in this town, I know, but... Yeah. There's no way.

"If you are referring to what appears to be the shades of the deceased in attendance, then no, Miss Raiden, I do not believe you are going mad. Or if you are, it is all communal."

Long's voice sounds a bit tired, but then, it's been a heck of a few weeks for everyone.

[audio] freaks_myword December 22 2011, 03:21:07 UTC

Preaching to the choir, Long. Gwen can't agree with you more. It helps when the crazy people call her crazy and the stuffy, smarty pants ones call her sane.

"Glad to hear it. Not that it makes it any less creepy."

[audio] imperial_long December 22 2011, 03:50:54 UTC

"Creepy? Yes, I suppose so. Unpleasant, to say the least. Especially when the dead remain as obstinate as they were in life," Long sighs.

"Are you quite alright?"

[audio] freaks_myword December 22 2011, 04:10:37 UTC

"On a scale of one to ten?" Gwen breaths out and gives a soft, nervous laugh. She's been put a little more at ease, knowing her mind isn't playing tricks on her, but she's rattled, for sure. She can't shake it.

"Six. It's just...how did they even...?"

Another sigh.
