Mark Hoffman told me the world is going to end if I don't stay with Amanda, but I have to pee and I'm really hungry.

[And that is where she has been for the past 24 hours. Sitting in Amanda's room. Panicking.]

[Added Later:]Nevermind. I'm okay now

[Facepalm. Every facepalm forever.]

You can leave Amanda to use the loo and eat, Sarah.

Private.

[whattheytellyou]

But what about the world? Will the world end if I pee? The world might end if I pee.

Private.

[onefullmoony]

The world's not going to end if you pee. Mark was attempting to protect you.

Private.

[whattheytellyou]

From what?

Private.

[onefullmoony]

Saying things that you may regret later on.

[Siggggghhhhhh]

Please don't punch him in the testicles. He wasn't doing it to harm you in any way.

Private.

[whattheytellyou]

I don't understand.

Private.

You don't realize it yet, but this is a flood. And because it's a flood, you're saying things you normally wouldn't. He's trying to help you so you don't say anything he knows you'll regret later.

And he doesn't want anyone to hurt you.

Private.

[whattheytellyou]

Oh.

Why did he tell me the world was going to end? Why didn't he just say those things?

Private.

[onefullmoony]

Because sometimes he doesn't think what he's saying through, and because he didn't realize you would take him seriously.

Private.

[whattheytellyou]

But it isn't. Why would he say something that isn't?

Private.

[onefullmoony]

Because he isn't affected by the flood as you are, Sarah. He didn't realize you'd take him so literally.
