[agentknockknock]

[As far as she's concerned the voices have fallen into a dull roar in the back of her mind. All of the whispering, threats, and requests blur together into white noise. All of them except for one particular voice. That voice stood out from everyone's. There's no hiding from it so Claudia makes her way back to the source. The voice and the pumpkin

[Kloe has been ignoring all the whispering to the best of her damn ability. She holed herself up in her room (no surprise) and decided the best course of action was to wait it out.

Up until the point where she couldn't take it anymore and she had to get outside before she started bashing her head against the wall.

And who should Kloe stumble upon but Claudia, cuddling a... pumpkin.

Um.]

The fuck are you doing?

[agentknockknock]

[She vaguely hears someone. It takes her a moment to figure out the voice isn't in her head. Even longer to realize what Kloe said.]

It's Jinks.

[She says it as though that explains everything.]

[abstinentzombie]

[Kloe eyes her and squats down.]

No. It's a fruit.

Jinks is actually gay so she taking that a little different

[agentknockknock]

[She almost laughs.]

That's not nice. He wouldn't like you calling him that.

*Sollux is still out looking over the pumpkins/wandering aimlessly through the keep when he comes across Claudia having some sort of nervous breakdown.*

...what are you doing?

[agentknockknock]

It's Jinks.

[Her voice is muffled by the pumpkin.]

[thii2ii22tupiid]

*Jinks? Who the hell was--wait, that was the guy who Bobby thought he might be, right? Hm.*

Its a pumpkin. Your friend isn't here.

[agentknockknock]

It's all I have.

[A small sob escapes.]

[The voices aren't really bothering him. None of them are saying things he hasn't heard before, and he'd smashed Bartrand's pumpkin as soon as he'd found it, before all this had happened.

Well, all right, that's something of a lie. But he's ignoring them, and if they are bothering him, no one's going to find out.

But he knows that's not the case for other people, so when he finds Claudia with her pumpkin friend, he just raises an eyebrow.]

Princess? Want to introduce me to your friend there?

[agentknockknock]

[She registers the joke, but she's not really in the mood to laugh.]

Varric, Jinks. Jinkie, Varric.

[sayhitobianca]

[And she actually introduced them. Okay, he's going to up her current level of crazy a notch or two in his mind.]

Nice to meet you there, Jinks. I've got to say, he's not really looking his best.

[agentknockknock]

[That one earns him a snort.]

He's usually taller.

[notpredictable]

[He's out here wandering around too - after watching what happened to the pumpkins in his room he had little interest in sticking around. He'd clean up the remains of the Roxanne and Minion pumpkins later, but he just couldn't bring himself to do it at the moment.

Instead, he's trying to find sanctuary from the whispers and it's just not working.

This when he stumbles across Claudia practically cuddling a pumpkin.]

...Miss Donnovan.

[agentknockknock]

[Claudia hears the familiar voice behind her but doesn't move. Her normal exuberant tone is gone. Her numb tone is muffled by the pumpkin.]

Hi.
