[ Today Sofia Lamb is wearing long sleeves. This is not unusual, but it needs to be said.

She does however also look... worn, somehow. The lines on her face are just a little bit deeper, the bags under her eyes just a little bit darker and her clothes and hair which are normally perfectly in place are just a little bit offAnd yet this is probably ( Read more... )

uh-oh, [c.] tim, [c.] asakura ryoko, .ic, fire hazard, [c.] alex kralie, wolf in lamb's clothing, might not be sinclair's fault this time, [c.] naoto shirogane, [video] event, psychiatrist? psychopath? either way!

Fire.

Or snakes.

That's the cure?

Yeeeeees.

And that's supposed to help how exactly?

It's very soothing. Would you like me to show you?

.... [ what the hell is this oh god. ]

Doctor Lamb?

[ She jumps from her seat and spins around. ]

Where?!

...

...

Oh.

[ Turns to the cam again. Sits down. Smiles sweetly. ]

Yes?

voice; detectiveace July 21 2010, 04:51:34 UTC

. . .

I'm assuming that inquiring about your health is completely moot.

[VIDEO] screamsofutopia July 21 2010, 04:59:34 UTC

[ She stares off into space. ]

Moot. I like that word.

[ Oh right, pay attention to the screen. ]

And how are you today? Can I prescribe you anything? A taipan perhaps?

Insanity, is it?

[VIDEO] screamsofutopia July 22 2010, 01:02:18 UTC

[ She nods gravely. ]

Terrible insanity. You even have some between your teeth. There.

[ She flashes a smile and waves her finger in front of it. ]

[VIDEO] so_please_die July 22 2010, 01:04:28 UTC

[ You don't even know.]

Insanity is not tangible, I'm afraid.

[VIDEO] screamsofutopia July 22 2010, 01:14:39 UTC

[ She looks confused at first. Then, a sudden realisation. ]

Oh. Ooohhh, right. Yeah, I always get those two confused. Insanity and... what was the other thing again?

[ She snaps her fingers, trying to remember the word. ]

[ Alex is sort of wigging out over here. There's the tiny matter of wisps of silvery smoke, not unlike the one the Queen waved at him, creeping up on him and putting thoughts into his head about things - a bright red third-hand car, the moon high over streets that are still warm from the summer day, a short walk from a house to a treeline - things that he would have sworn didn't exist. And... yeah, let's just say that he really needs to talk to -

-

-

- oh. ]

You. [ He's not gonna call her Lamb. She isn't Sofia Lamb. ]

Let. Sof'. Come. Back.

[ He's gathered most of the vital stats about mirrors by now, or at least knows that they get out of the mirror-world by forcibly swapping places with their real counterparts. It's sort of hard to miss at the moment. And he is really not pleased at all that this bitch has trapped his friend over there. ]

[ VIDEO ] screamsofutopia July 23 2010, 00:52:12 UTC

[ And when she sees Alex her eyes widen and her mouth turns into a broad grin and for a moment, for just the first second, you might think she will smile happily, but then it all twists further into an expression that is bizarre, inappropriate, too much like...

...like a child in a candy story, if the child was a lion and the candy store was a zebra with a limp. Her breaths are heavy and fast and her tongue licks over her teeth once and then her mouth snaps shut with a clack and the feed turns off. ]

[ ACTION ] 40410 July 23 2010, 01:17:33 UTC

[ ...

Jesus.

Fucking.

Christ.

That was horrifying.

...He really dislikes the fact that he can't see her any more, because it means he doesn't know what she's doing now, and that bit about home visits is not very reassuring. Does Sof's mirror know where he lives? She definitely looked as though she'd like to.

You know what? He's going to err on the side of caution, wish the lock on the door to be stronger and...

...and stop himself from going to the bathroom for one of his two remaining EVE hypos. He's got maybe two-thirds of his EVE left, thanks to gratuitous coffee consumption; and he wasn't kidding when he said he didn't want to take risks with it. That stuff is a last resort.

Is he being too paranoid? Maybe she was just trying to freak him out. ]

[ ACTION ] screamsofutopia July 23 2010, 01:23:40 UTC

[ Take your time. Calm down. Clear your head.

Wait until there is a knock at your door.

Notice how it isn't forceful at all.

It's quiet, polite, perfectly casual.

...although you may find it just a little odd that it's coming from the bathroom door instead of the hallway. ]
