[He sounds strained, and possibly a little insane?]

Scratching, clawing, digging.  Scratching, clawing, digging.  Scratching, clawing, digging.

[He's growing more frantic as she speaks, faster and louder and much more desperate.]

There's something in there, something trying to get out.  I can't let it out, can't let it out.  Has to stay inside, unacknowledged.  Ignored, for the sake of everyone else.  Safer, for them and for me.

Blasted fog!

[The last is said in a hushed whisper]

[Small groan]

Do you have the time to spare to keep me distracted? I wouldn't want to take up your time if you have more pressing business.

For something like this, there is nothing more pressing. You can be certain of that.

How long have you been a member of this community? I, myself, have only been here for a couple months, although with everything that has happened, it certainly seems like longer.

[deadly_garden]

[There's a relieved sigh] Thank you.

I've been here a year now, since the first of the year in fact. Though like yourself it certainly does feel like much longer. Have you enjoyed your time here so far?

[eyes-starlit.livejournal.com]

Strangely enough, despite the... inconvienience of having my memories altered, or being stuck to another for fear of debilitating pain, I have enjoyed my time here.

And yourself?

[deadly_garden]

I find myself agreeing with you. Especially since this place returned someone very special to me after I though him long dead.

...I hope he's still safe. His headache was worse than mine but I had to go look in on Kaasan because she's weaker. [Slight note of panic in his voice]

[eyes-starlit.livejournal.com]

I found my brother through this community, so I agree, it can be useful for some things.

Tell me about this person dear to you. How did you first meet?

[deadly_garden]

It did? You're quite lucky then.

[A soft chuckle] Truthfully? I rescued him from prison a very long time ago. He was far too good to be in there.
