*silence. That was the first thing he noticed when he woke up. Panic fluttered in his belly before he could stop it, and he lays in bed for several minutes telling himself to breathe. Very slowly he focuses and starts to notice other things, like that he's no longer underwater and has legs again. He spends another few minutes wiggling his toes and

[ Erik's dark eyes are fixed on him, having so avoided conversation since the - whatever happened, time travel, he doesn't know - but now he's watching him, silent and thoughtful. ] Are you all right?

[ Nothing in return. ] Charles?

[psychic_labrat]

Yes, Erik? *without thinking about it, he reaches up to rub his temple, his discomfort clear. He seems slightly distracted, and just a little lost. Even having gone through this unpleasant side effect of the manor before, Charles was not accustomed to being the only one inside his head and was still having trouble adjusting*

[ Frowning at that. ] What's the matter?

[psychic_labrat]

*he shakes his head*

Just a side effect of this place sometimes. I am currently unable to read minds. It's...disorienting, that's all.

My powers appear to be exactly where and how they ought to be- which I consider nothing but a good thing. [Partly because of the implication that magical power is tied to the soul, partly because she doesn't want to think about someone without her level of self-control having her powers.

...Or being nerfed. Again.]

[Voice]

[psychic_labrat]

I agree whole-heartedly. Being without my ability is a horrible reality.

I don't understand the author's plan this week, however. It clearly hasn't effected everyone.

[Tris is snorting.] It would be much worse if my powers were in another's hands. The first time they lost their calm...

[It's obvious by her voice Naoto doesn't feel great.]

I think I might be affected by this weeks 'plot'

[psychic_labrat]

Are you missing an ability as well?

*he asks gently, knowing that loud noises often irritate when one is not feeling well*

[caseofthetruth]

[No matter how gently the voice, it isn't going to make her feel better any time soon.]

It appears so, something very important to be is missing and instead I just wake up to hearing things and a nasty headache.

voice;

[psychic_labrat]

*he's starting to realize that*

Wait, what sort of things are you hearing?

[Voice]

[eliminatecrime]

Interestingly enough I have not found any changes on myself yet. This might be one of the plots that leaves some people unaffected.

[Voice]

[psychic_labrat]

My opinion of the Author goes down every single week. *bemused*

[Voice]

[eliminatecrime]

I can say I know this feeling very well.

Are you alright?

[He did like Charles after all. As far as Mikami could like people. He just thought he was sane and pleasant company in comparison to others.]

[Voice]

[psychic_labrat]

No, but I will be. This should only last a week, right? I can handle the week.

*at least he is actually sane and pleasant, rather than just a really good actor*
