Closed RP: Nny and Devi

Oct 30, 2006 20:35

It had been a few weeks since Devi was unpopcorned, but her memory still wasn't returning. From what Nny said, that wasn't necessarily a bad thing, but it was certainly frustrating, as its gaps left her with several questions she had no idea how to ask ( Read more... )

"Complication is inevitable." Rry was scrambling around his ankles as he leaned against the door to his room in STFU. "Every connection with other people makes you vulnerable to a new set, because then you have to deal with the crap inside their head instead of just your own." Of course, some of us have more than others.

Crap inside your head.... She didn't know why, but that made her nervous. "But what if you need someone to help you even deal with your OWN crap?" she asked, scritching her devil's ears. She couldn't remember what she'd named it before, so it was now christened Spooky--at least it was much less squeaky than the original Spooky. "Does it just trade off--what they take off you, you in turn take off them?"

"Fuck if I know." Sighing, he bent to pick up Rry, who squirmed a bit and made various alarming sounds before settling down to sniff his chin. "I think that's what people tell themselves happen, but I haven't really seen it. Just... complications."

Are they all bad?

She couldn't ask, not out loud. She'd been wondering...well, things she really shouldn't be wondering about. Over the last days she'd come to a rather disturbing realization, and she wasn't at all sure how to broach it to him. "And yet people crave the companionship of other people," she said aloud. "Tell me how that makes sense."

She bit her lip, looking at him. Don't be such a fucking chicken, Devi. But she was. In this, oh God how she was.

"You never told him about me, did you, Mother? Never told him I found you because of him? Oh, you're sick, you know that--liking the person who introduced me to you."

"Oh, sweet fucking hell, shut up," Devi snarled. She opened her eyes, still gripping Nny like a life preserver. How in hell could she tell him this? How could she explain it without looking as insane as she (probably) was?

"Nny, I have a small...problem," she said, ignoring Sickness' snickering. "Oh Christ, do I have a problem. I need...I mean..." Oh, hell. "How did you get rid of your...your Sickness?" If she'd ever known what form his voices had taken, she didn't know, but she knew he would understand.

"I... when I died, I..." Shaking, he clung to Devi just as tightly. "I haven't. I don't think. Not all the way. It... I don't know if..." Still don't know, don't know if he, if they, trying to use me, used me to... "It's still... waiting. Hovering."

Oh, God...

"See, you're in good company. Just sit back and enjoy the ride."

"Is there...do you think there's some way to make them go away?" she asked, fighting to keep the fear out of her voice. She'd knocked Sickness back once, but she'd never gotten her to go away entirely...there had to be some way to get this damned things out of their heads. "I can't...I mean, I don't want to...shit, I want my--I want my head to MYSELF, goddammit." I don't want her here, not now, not when I've just found something worth having for the first time since I can't remember when.

"I know. Fuck, I know. I haven't... Dib made me a talisman. It doesn't... it helps a little, sometimes at least. I know he made one for you. I don't. I don't know where it is but I know he made one... but then you were gone and then he was gone..."
