late vampire post, hello

[misswexler]

[Caroline has been trying to avoid the populated areas of camp and keep to the cornfields or otherwise....people-empty spaces. Everything is a little too loud, pressing in on her, a jangling awareness of people who get too close consuming her attention - their pulse, their smell, their footsteps. In a word, she's twitchy

...Caroline?

[misswexler]

[wheels to face her really sharply]

[ladycoderring]

Um... Are you okay?

[misswexler]

- I'm fine and you should leave.

[ladycoderring]

What?

[misswexler]

Emily, go away. [ moving kind of jerkily as she turns around ]

[ladycoderring]

No! Why does everybody keep telling me to go away this month?! This is ridiculous!

[misswexler]

This isn't - about - you! [she meant that to come out like an explanation. it came out savage instead]

[ladycoderring]

Then tell me what's going on.

[misswexler]

I just - [her hands make frustrated claws at her temples] You're too loud, I just - fuck -

[ladycoderring]

[steps closer]

Caroline...

[misswexler]

That? [points at her, voice sharp] Is not helping.

[ladycoderring]

[okay fine, stops]

[misswexler]

I don't feel good. [her movements are still restless and almost twitchy but her voice is v. small]

[ladycoderring]

Just... tell me what happened, okay?

[misswexler]

[she presses her hands to her head like she's trying to soothe a headache] I don't...

[well wait] There was a weird animal -
