[The voices are getting to him. He's trying to pretend like they aren't, but it's harder to pretend like everything's okay when he can't ignore the voices of people he's left behind, telling him it's not. Bobby'd shifted into his ice form, wanting the distance being made of ice helped him with ( Read more... )

[Claudia was making her way through the halls. Sitting in her room hearing voices was reminding her to much of a place she'd rather forget. She rounds a corner and there's Bobby. Only an ice version. Well that's new.

He was talking, no arguing with pumpkin with a young man's face carved into it. Even though it's one sided, it's still heated.]

Bobby?

mister_10_below October 22 2011, 07:23:27 UTC

[It's the pleas for freedom that get him most. Bobby knows this isn't John, he knows it's a pumpkin, and he's heard the whispers of secrets and cruel words everywhere, but. It's John's voice, and he can't help but reply.

He whirls when he hears Claudia, startled.]

I, uh. Hi, Claud.

[Right, he hadn't meant to do that. He needs to just ignore them. Which he's going to do. Right now. Totally ignoring John pumpkin.]

[She raises and eyebrow at him. She's confused by his form but not scared by it.]

OK we're going to talk about this whole [She waves her hand around, motioning to his whole body.] ice golem thing, later. But right now. You OK?

mister_10_below October 23 2011, 02:44:30 UTC

[...can they talk about the ice golem thing now? That's a much better topic of conversation.]

Yeah. I'm fine. It's just - they're just hard to ignore.

agentknockknock October 23 2011, 07:32:33 UTC

[No, no they can't. ]

And arguing with a pumpkin is helping that?

[Her tone is gentle, she doesn't want to pressure him.]

mister_10_below October 23 2011, 08:35:20 UTC

[Sure they can!

He gives a bit of a sheepish grin at that.]

No. I, uh. Didn't mean to do that, actually. I got a little carried away. I was just planning on taking it off of its stake. But it - there's a lot of things that were left unsaid.

agentknockknock October 23 2011, 09:23:08 UTC

Yeah, I've got some pumpkins like that around here too.

You want some company? If anyone else comes by, we can say you were yelling at me.

mister_10_below October 23 2011, 11:55:48 UTC

I think probably most people here do, considering we didn't actually get time to say anything before we got yanked it.

[But with him and John - there's been a long time before that, with things being left unsaid.]

No. I - know it's not him. I shouldn't even be listening to what it's saying, let alone replying.

[Still, he stares at John's pumpkin.]

He was my best friend. But he left.

agentknockknock October 24 2011, 06:47:54 UTC

Even with all the down sides of being kidnapped, that's still the worse one.

[Her tone is sympathetic.]

But it's the closest you can get to saying good bye?

[She moves closer so she's standing next to him.]

What's his name?

mister_10_below October 27 2011, 03:24:31 UTC

Yeah. I miss him.

[And he hasn't admitted that to anyone - not even anyone on his world - for a very long time. But it's somehow easier like this. When he's made of ice, it's easier to convince himself that that's all there is. Just ice.

It's the closest he can get to saying a lot of things, but that part, he keeps to himself.]

His name's John.

agentknockknock October 28 2011, 06:38:15 UTC

I miss mine too.

[He probably knows that, but it's the best she can do relate to him. It's not like she could hug him, hold his hand, or punch his shoulder in support right now. Stupid ice golem.]

Did John [She pauses, uncertain if she should ask.] die?
