Feather 9 - Special Milk

[catslooklikeme]

[So the milk arrived in the morning as it always did, and this time, it was Nall's turn to drink it. It went down easy, didn't taste any different than milk normally does. Maybe he got lucky and chanced to drink some every day, ordinary milk?

Nope.]

[Housemates][Hey guys, try not to take offense when the sight of you makes Nall jump and cry out

[He's mostly been staying inside, with the exception of his excursion to the park and to help people with razor blades and spider bites. However, Nall is (un)lucky enough to find chaos out today, and he'll pause to watch the boy for a few moments, before very carefully approaching him.]

Nall?

[Nall looks up at the sound of his name and over towards chaos, and for a moment, his expression is one of shock and surprise, rapidly replaced but sorrow and anguish. When he responds, his tone of voice exhibits absolutely no trace of recognition, as if he's speaking to a stranger off the street.]

Y-yea?

[chaos takes a careful step towards the other boy, looking at him closely]

What's wrong?

[Nall starts to reply, then stops, takes a deep breath and covers his face with his hands and mutters.]

Damnit, damnit, damnit, get a grip...

[ooeeooahah]

[ She's out making a grocery run, when she nearly runs into Nall. His flinching worries her. ]

Nall? Hon, you all right?

[catslooklikeme]

[Nall looks up at the mention of his name and is noticably startled when he looks at Ilsa.]

Je-

[He cuts himself off and looks back down, expression pained. Fists clenched, he starts muttering.]

Damnit, Nall, you know it's not what it looks like, STOP IT.

[ooeeooahah]

Hallucinations?

[ She gently puts a hand on his shoulder. ]

Your turn for the milk this morning?

[catslooklikeme]

[Nall flinches a bit, but nods mournfully. Yes, he drank the milk, yes, he's tripping. He's not enjoying it.]

[Blink-blink.]

Nall. You okay?

[Oh crap, not good, not good... why the heck is Royce of all people here? But... that just CAN'T be possible... and what she's saying sure isn't anything Royce would ever say.]

Why the heck am I seeing ghosts...?

[Mokou scowls.]

I'm human, thanks. Completely human. I thought you knew that.

[catslooklikeme]

No, I-

[Nall takes a deep breath and closes his eyes. He's gotta take a minute to think... he's in his house, the words being spoken, the tone...]

That you, Fujiwara?
