Room 528, Thursday Morning

Mar 25, 2010 10:08

Emma had skipped class yesterday, preferring instead to cocoon herself in a pile of blankets and try to sleep-off her powers hangover. She didn't need to give herself a worse migraine by listening to Professor Dèmon prattle on, no matter how entertaining and well-intentioned he was.

She was feeling a bit better today, however, and was bored ( Read more... )

What is it with humans and having animals act like them? Pounce asked with a rather obvious note of disgust.

Beka was sitting on top of the bed, her diary open in her lap. Instead of going out for a run, she decided it'd be best to write up the past events.

"Are there? The one I fought turned out to be George," Beka reasoned and she frowned. "But I didn't mean that. You've been acting strange since yesterday."

"I sprained my brain a wee-bit," Emma admitted. "Trying to keep track of people who were silly enough to be out in the fog."

Beka bit her lip, knowing she'd been one of those. "How do you sprain your brain?" she asked, not quite understanding how telepaths worked.

Emma hummed for a moment as she thought before grabbing one of her pillows. "This is the island, okay?" she asked, setting it in her lap and sketching out with her fingers the basic layout of the area.

"And normally, when I'm not even trying, I can hear this much at any given time," she continued, drawing a circle around what would be a dorm-sized area. "One person, if I know them, I can find anywhere on the island, that's easy. Your minds are like little stars in my mind, and you're all different. "But if I'm trying to keep track of groups, or individuals, if I'm trying, I can cover this much; the school, the dorms, and part-way towards town, or into the woods."

"But the me in the Other-Fandom, the Vampire World, she could do more at once, which means I can too. So I've been practicing," Emma said. "I can do more, now. I did more. I could hear almost everyone, perfectly, for a moment, and it was like... a symphony. But too many of them were hallucinating, and I'd been working for hours, so..." She tipped the pillow ( ... )

It made strangely sense and Beka nodded slowly. "What happened then when it became too much to follow?"

"I got lost," she answered, poking at the pillow. "I don't remember all of it, not well, but I was lost in other people, so Sookie and Karla came and got me."

"You were there. I think. Or I was there with you." Emma made a face and rubbed at her nose. "They need to invent a new vocabulary and syntax for dealing with the astral plane."

She frowned, watching the pillow still. "What'd have happened if they'd not come to get you? Would you have found a way out?" she asked, uncertain if that made sense.

"I don't know, I've never gotten lost quite like that before," Emma admitted. "I think so; I didn't go insane and get lost when my powers manifested, and if I was going to lose control, I think it would have been then. I just would have needed things to quiet down for a day or two before I managed to sort through all the noise in my head."

Beka nodded, aware that it was naught she could help with. "So if it'd happen again, I should get Karla?"
