004 ~ [Dream]
Warnings: Leo's dreams kind of come with automatic spoiler warning now that I think about it... Yeah, spoiler warning, for latest chapter (63 that is, that isn't yet actually scanlated) and arc etc etc. But not the biggest ever, especially not if you don't click the image, I don't think?
Effects: Optional; first unease, then some kind of peace, ( Read more... )

Though now he saw how far their relationship went and just what Leo dealt with day to day, and yet knowing about these floating lights Leo saw made sense to why he hid behind glasses and his long bangs. A sense of dread had settled in watching Elliot be taken from Leo in the dream itself, and how much it seemed to hurt him to have it happen. His apologies rung through his mind and it's near deafening...
Then there's a face that he can't help but recognize though he'd only ever seen it once before. Hearing the man's words as well leave a icy spot in the pit of his stomach and he's rigid, eyes wide as he just stares at the dreamberry for some time. There were so many things he wanted to ask about all of that.
For now though, he settled on one; the most prominent one that left his lips before he could even think twice about it.]
That man... how...how do you know him?

There is quite clear confusion in his voice when he responds.]
Know him?
Reply
I've spoken to that man before. In Sablier...
[A pause. He doesn't like the idea but he wonders if Leo's met him... or if it's as preposterous as the idea of how he has Jack talk to him] ...Why did he say that to you? Saying Elliot got swallowed by darkness and say it's your fault?
[Even with having seen the dream.. all the questions keep leaving his lips in a rush]
Reply
[Perhaps he's ignoring Oz's questions partly because he just doesn't want to answer, but this... Oz has spoken to this guy? How--]
You spoke to him? I thought--
[He never really knew whether to think of the voices as someone real or not.]
Who is he?
Reply
I'd seen him there before. [Not going to say what they talked about. The experience hadn't been that great and ended not-so-good]
Him? That's... his name's Glen Baskerville.
Reply
[Okay, give him a moment... to process that. No... really? That can't...
But...]
How can it be? Why would I hear Glen Baskerville--?
[It doesn't make sense. Just... doesn't make sense; he refuses to believe it does.]

[A bit of hesitation lingers a bit here before he continues] It's like.. how I can hear Jack Vessalius...
Reply
He's heard a rumour or two, in Pandora...]
..what's that like?
Reply
[His voice trails off briefly and he sighs]
Sometimes he's not there and I don't hear from him in a while.

Does he show up when you really need him?
Reply
I don't know how he does it but... it keeps happening.
Reply
Do you know why you hear him, then?
Reply
All I know is he's helping me when I do hear him. Though sometimes he doesn't just talk to me..
[His words trail off, remembering the times when Jack's taken him over. Something that had never been a pleasant experience for him sometimes.

Reply
Yeah. A few times he's... actually taken me over and spoke through me.
Reply
At least that hasn't happened to him. Right? If Oz remembers that, then he should too if it had happened so... It hasn't. Right.]
That's possible?
[It really does sound so unlikely.]
Strange...
[It... kind of feels like it's beginning to sink in. He's... not alone. He's always been alone, no one has been able to really understand, but now two...
It's so weird.]
