[bit_impossible]

[night has fallen once again on Eos, and one man who has spent far too much time listening to voices in the dark depths of the forest has finally emerged from the tree-line. amazingly, he looks slightly more put together than he has in past days. his tie is straight, tightened snugly in place, and his shirt tails are tucked neatly into his suit

Interrogation is fine too, not that her answers will make sense

[fallen_cetra]

Knock knock, who's there? Nobody home.

[fallen_cetra]

Hnnnnn. [Again the stare, swaying where she stands.]

[bit_impossible]

You might want to sit down or you'll fall over.

[fallen_cetra]

[She doesn't seem to notice, she just stares and stares, but doesn't seem to really see him.]

[bit_impossible]

[suddenly gets angry--he doesn't like being ignored.] Aren't you listening?!

[fallen_cetra]

I hear everything. Listen, listen, listen. Whispers in the night drowned out by the sounds of a thousand screams, on and on and on into the night.

[bit_impossible]

Young lady, I think you're a little mad.

[fallen_cetra]

Madness is the place between, didn't always walk there. Once there was sunlight, but it's gone now.

[bit_impossible]

Back to that again, are we? Are you going to start repeating yourself over and over again like a record player?

[fallen_cetra]

I don't think they'll be happy with you when they wake up, Doctor. Not happy at all.

[bit_impossible]

Which "they" are you talking about? I know quite a few they's and quite a few them's, too.

[fallen_cetra]

Ollie ollie oxen free. Poor little Oliver and Lara. You should worry more about her, though. She bites.

[bit_impossible]

What? How do you--?

[fallen_cetra]

[The flat look returns.] I can hear the whispers.

[bit_impossible]

[oh, he's angry now] Damn you! You leave them out of this!

[fallen_cetra]

Angry, angry, angry. Didn't do anything.
