...some weather, yeah. All this fog is kind of...weird.

[HORRIBLE NIGHTMARE BUDDIES GO]

foolishwren September 17 2010, 14:15:18 UTC

Yeah.... I hate fog, personally... so this is like... the worst weather ever. [She'd RATHER have rain, to be totally honest. At least then she'd just me miserable, not miserable and tense as a violin string wound too tight.]

So what're you doin' up so late, Lawyer-Man?

cheapblusuits September 17 2010, 15:20:01 UTC

We don't get much fog where I'm from. Smog, mostly. But yeah, this is pretty bad.

I...woke up. And, er, couldn't get back to sleep. [What a marvelous understatement. Don't pretend like you didn't sit around hyperventilating for thirty minutes because when you have nightmares, Phoenix, you have NIGHTMARES.]

foolishwren September 17 2010, 18:19:59 UTC

Fog's kind of the trademark weather pattern in my neck of the woods. Nasty stuff...

N'yeah, me too.

[She hadn't hyperventilated so much as sat very still for a long period of time, eyes wide open and ears straining to hear any foreign sound. Like some kind of awkward, gangly rabbit.]

cheapblusuits September 17 2010, 19:03:54 UTC

You get a lot of fog in the area north of where I live, but down in the southern part...it's too hot for it, really.

...seems like there's a lot of people who can't get back to sleep tonight. [And this is starting to make him juuust a bit suspicious.]

foolishwren September 17 2010, 21:26:18 UTC

I'm in Maine. It's like... fog central.

[Even outside of Silent Hill, foggy New England mornings were just status quo.][Normally Heather wouldn't have suspected anything, but... everyone she's talked to HAS seemed a little... pale...]

cheapblusuits September 17 2010, 21:37:59 UTC

[FINALLY SOMEONE FROM THE UNITED STATES, there's a note of relief in his voice now, that eases the strained sound a bit.] California. Er, Southern California. You know, Los Angeles and Anaheim and all of that.

...is it just me, or does it seem like EVERYONE suddenly had...nightmares? [He's using the word a bit cautiously, since it seemed WAY to realistic for your average nightmare.]

Everyone's been awake, and...I mean, KAY was affected. And Kay's about as chipper as they come, y'know?

foolishwren September 17 2010, 21:41:47 UTC

[~*~AMERICA BUDDIES~*~]

[Despite herself, she quirks a grin.]

California, huh? I always did wanna go there. [Because god knew the land of sunshine and surfer dudes would suit her sleeveless lifestyle a lot more than cold, wet New England does.]

[Of course, she sobers up instantly at the mention of the 'n' word.]

... It's not just you. ... I mean. I guess not. ... I had a few. ... Y'know. Nightmares.

[And nightmares were nothing unusual, not for Heather. She'd been having them for a whole year now, and she'd gotten used to the simple fact that some nights were going to be spent shivering and watching TV until the sun came up. That just came with the territory of being what she was.]

[But... this one... it had been the same, but it had felt so... there.]

cheapblusuits September 18 2010, 01:33:10 UTC

It's a pretty nice state, really. The politics get pretty out of hand, though.

...I'm sorry. They must have been pretty bad. You're pale as a ghost. [Like you're one to talk.]

foolishwren September 18 2010, 03:42:23 UTC

I never was a fan of politics.

[Phoenix's observation catches her a little bit by surprise and she laughs awkwardly, raking some of her ruffled hair behind one ear.]

I look that bad, huh? You're not much of a looker yourself at the moment...

But yeah.

Yeah, they kinda sucked.

cheapblusuits September 18 2010, 22:59:18 UTC

[He chuckles a bit at that first response, then grins in a bit of a sardonic matter at the second.] I do, huh? And here I thought I was good at bluffing.

...they're just so real, aren't they?

foolishwren September 18 2010, 23:04:51 UTC

[She grins as cheeky a grin as she can manage right now and just shakes her head. Maybe he's good in court, but right now Phoenix has got a lousy poker face.]

[The grin doesn't last too long though.]

... Yeah.

I mean...

M'used to nightmares. I get 'em a lot, actually... n'they're always bad.

But... whatever the fuck this one was, I just...

[Even right now, she still thought she could feel something squirming inside of her... feel the rush of the fire as it licked over her skin...]

It just felt different.
