[Oliver wakes with a cry and a start, sitting straight up in bed. This has been happening for several days now--since the voices stopped--but this time, he finds himself running his head straight into his sphere, unintentionally opening a comm link]

Owww! [he grabs his head, mumbling sleepily] Why is that there? Stupid sphere. [waves a hand

Comments

[goldenpine]

Pretty song. What's bothering you, Oliver?

[oliverplus]

[jumps at the image appearing from the sphere and sits up, mortified, pulling out the earbuds]

Rangiku! Did I wake you? Sorry! I didn't know it was on...

[goldenpine]

Maya and I are having a party! You didn't wake me up, so don't bother apologizing. You've got a half-way decent voice, anyway.

[oliverplus]

[blinks] A party? At this time of night? [remembers who he's talking to and smiles weakly] Sounds like a good idea.

Heh, I'll have to tell Chloe you said that. Thanks.

[bit_impossible]

[exclaims] FINALLY!

Oliver! Ollie, Ollie, Oliver! Hey, can you hear me? Your iPod up too high again? You really shouldn't keep it up that loud, you know. Or are you going to keep on ignoring me?

[beat]

Come on, Ollie.

[oliverplus]

[is sitting up now, earbuds out]

Doctor... [pauses, taking a deep breath, his words as fake-natural as he can make them] I'm sorry. I should have answered the door. [forces a smile]

[bit_impossible]

[doesn't buy a word of it]

You have every right not to answer. I wanted to find out how you were doing.

[oliverplus]

[frowns, guilty] It's not you, Doctor. I know it isn't your fault. I just...have a lot to sort out, right now.

[hisoldgirl]

Oliver? Are you well? I do not remember you waking screaming as a common occurrence.

[oliverplus]

TARDIS! Did I disturb you?

[realizes she may have heard him more than once, her room being so close; winces] No, it wasn't until I wound up on this ship. I've just been having nightmares, TARDIS. It's a human thing; nothing to worry about. But I think the ship has something to do with it.

[firelady_azula]

[Azula holds back her temptation to unload on Oliver for disturbing her sleep]

Is something the matter?

[oliverplus]

[stares at the image for a moment, his expression resonating, "Not you too!"]

Just a nightmare. Remember I told you I was hearing voices, too? I...haven't gotten it to leave me alone yet, but I will. Sorry I woke you.

[firelady_azula]

That's... alright.

[Being nice is slightly out of character for Azula, and she realizes it. She blinks a couple of times before continuing.]

Would it make you feel better to talk to someone about it?

[oliverplus]

[blinks and grins] Hey, thanks. I'm just...seeing stuff that can't be real. I think this ship is trying to mess with my head.

What about you? Have the voices stopped?

[bit_impossible]

[ooc: We'll pretend half an hour's gone by... >.>;;]

Anyway, where were we... Oh yes! The library!

Still up for a trip? [grins broadly] The movie's done and all I have to do is hop right on the transportation pad here. Just give me the word and I'll meet you there.

[oliverplus]

[grins] I'm already there! I'll see you when you get here.

[bit_impossible]

Well! [hops on the pad and gives his destination, then once he arrives, he hops off and greets his friend] Here I am!

[oliverplus]

[laughs] So I see! All right, the history section's over there. [points] But there are also sections on travel and...well, everything. And a whole bunch of computers with video media. The possibilities are pretty endless, but the inconsistencies are everywhere. Like this one. [holds up a book] Apparently some race called the Kastelians got conquered by the Murs--except they didn't, later on it's suddenly the Jyus that did it, and then they weren't conquered at all, and it kind of makes your head spin after a while. Especially when the book next to it is all about the Murish rule and the one next to that is about the Kastelian-Murish-Jyuan alliance and how war was averted entirely.

And they're all like that!
