pain_train: (what the fudge just happened)

[...wait what?

But she immediately trusts what Charles says, even if she has no idea why.]


...oh.

[She looks around, coughs, spits out another mouthful of honey.]

...my mind sucks.

[ . . . Yeah that's fair. ]

C'mon, on your feet.
pain_train: (understanding)

[personal profile] pain_train 2016-07-17 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
Okay.

[She peels herself off the floor. It's not the most pleasant sound in the world. Her hair is matted and heavy with honey still.]

What are you doing here?
axiomed: (What turns we missed)

[personal profile] axiomed 2016-07-17 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
You sort of went . . . quiet. I think the taste of honey started the, ah, program in your mind. It should be fine now.
pain_train: (are you fudgeing serious)

[She staggers a few steps like she's remembering how to walk, then steadies.]

Oh... I don't remember.

...did you fix it?

[This entire situation is bizarre.]

I . . . believe I have. You need to wake up and we'll know.
pain_train: (tying hair back)

[personal profile] pain_train 2016-07-17 08:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay.

...how do I wake up? [She's never really been in a state like this before that she could wake up from. It hadn't worked that way in Proles, or here. ]
axiomed: (By the end of the day)

[personal profile] axiomed 2016-07-18 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
Just think about it. Focus on waking up, opening your eyelids.
pain_train: (eyes closing)

[personal profile] pain_train 2016-07-21 08:03 am (UTC)(link)
[It sounds like the kind of thing she should be able to handle doing. She swipes a handful of honey off her face and flicks it onto the floor, then closes her eyes and concentrates.

It feels weird, since she doesn't feel like she's asleep. But she does as directed, concentrating on waking up.

And opens her eyes.]
axiomed: (No I don't remember)

[ Charles leans back against his chair, breathing heavily. He's exhausted. ]
