8th Spell [Accidental Voice] (After all of the rescues)

[lastdragonlord]

[The first sort of sound to filter through the PCD is a horrified, male scream. There, that ought to get everyone's attention, right? Followed by a muted, sniffling sound that transitions slowly into heaving sobs that eventually translate into words.]

Oh n-no, oh no. No, no, no, no. Sorry - 'm so sorry. Don't want to, didn't...

[This stare and raised eyebrow are eloquently saying 'told you so', Merlin.]

[He can't hear staring, Vinny, particularly over the crying - sorry!]

[But Vinny doesn't do talking in these situations. He'll just wait, on the feed, until Melin is done feeling sorry for himself. And no, he won't even try to comment on the fact that he himself spends quite a lot of his time being sorry for himself because it's not the same. Absolutely not.]

[Merlin's quite talented at feeling bad for himself, so it takes awhile. But eventually he does feel that strange prickling that you get when you're being watched.]

S-sorry, what?

[ff_red_turk]

... Feeling better ?

[lastdragonlord]

Depends on what you mean. Better from going crazy, or better from realizing all that I did while I was crazy?

[ff_red_turk]

[Blink. Stare. Whichever, Merlin, Vincent isn't picky.]

[Video]

[lastdragonlord]

... well I'm not crazy anymore, obviously - though I suppose some people could make arguments otherwise to that, but.

I don't know. I just have to deal with things, don't I? And move on.

[Some more staring, and a small nod. That's a good start. That's, in fact, better than antyhing that Vincent has done this past fourty years.]

[Aw, c'mon Vinny, don't you think it's time for a little bit of self-actualization exercises?]

[Lalalala, I can't hear you !]
