...Ood? You said earlier you felt something. And you had an icepack on your head...?

Then it got more intense. Right here. *touches temple* Like someone had threaded a piece of dental floss through my brain. And started scraping. Then set it on fire.
...Really, my dear, if you do have to shoot yourself again at least try not to do it when I'm in the vicinity
That's when I went for the icepack. The sharp pain eased up a bit before Jimmy found me... but that pressure was still there. Like someone was... no, it wasn't like a powerful mind trying to give me orders, it didn't care about talking to me. It was just sort of... squashing me beneath it.
It's easing up now, though. Now that we've left Jimmy and Jack and...
*thwaps forehead with tentacles* I'm an idiot, I completely forgot to ask Jack about our children, which was the whole reason I came looking for him! Though I suppose we did have other things on our minds...

Date: 2007-01-24 10:19 pm (UTC)Ood, I'm so sorry. If I had had any idea someone else could feel that...I wouldn't wish that on anyone, least of all you. And here I thought I wouldn't be harming anyone but myself.
But I couldn't let Jack do it all on his own. It would have been much too dangerous. Even as it was...
Did something seem strange to you, about the way he came back? Like something had stuck with him because he'd been in there so long? That pressure you felt, maybe that was it.
*has a forehead-thwapping moment of her own* Oh, no. I forgot to get that note back from Jimmy!

...Or it could have been Jimmy I felt. I just can't make sense of him at *all* any more.
--Didn't he say he was leaving? Where's he going, what's he up to? I'm beginning to think he might be part of the problem...

Date: 2007-01-24 10:39 pm (UTC)*thinks, confused* It's the Darkness. There's nothing there.
Wait! There was a guardian. At first it was a little cartoony, then it got a bit creepier. Older. Ancient. It wouldn't let me by. And then Jack heard me and came to me, and grabbed on. And I took him back.

Like that place where Sally took Jimmy?
...I don't know if we can trust him. Do you want to see if you can get that note back from Jimmy, while I talk to Jack?

Date: 2007-01-24 10:42 pm (UTC)Jimmy's running away. He said he felt like a freak and that no one understood him or trusted him. I tried to cheer him up a bit, give him a sense of purpose.
He did say he'd be back from time to time to check on Harley. He really cares about him.

Date: 2007-01-25 02:37 am (UTC)*swallows* All I know is, now he's done terrible things in order to feel. Carlisle told me... He wouldn't ever want to hurt Harley, but that doesn't mean he wouldn't ever find himself doing it anyway. I think I know how that feels.
