Them's the Reality Breaks.

The first thing Isis notices when everything goes all wonky isn't the fact that everything around her is starting to change at once.

It isn't, in fact, the HUGE WAVE OF TEMPORAL STORM COMING THIS WAY, either.

It is, actually, the incredibly fucking huge headache. She shrieks when it first hits, so sharp and sudden and all at once

Footsteps shouldn't stutter. Especially not running ones. These do.

And then there's a hand on Isis's shoulder. "Love, what's wrong, what do y-"

The touch disappears, then reappears. "-me painkillers?"

The stuttering, unfortunately, goes missed initially. In hindsight, she'll probably realize she's heard it, but couldn't think.

All three threads are firing at once, on different-similer tracks in her head, "Painkillers, headache" She makes another whimpery noise, "Something happened and you just.. vanished and reappeared." There is staring. Pained staring, but staring nonetheless. "Greater.. balance.." gesturing with one hand, as the other's still holding on her head, hoping to dull the pain by holding onto her skull, or whatever irrational reasoning this gesture has. "Exploded. Something happened. Very big."

"I've been righ-"

"-tire time!" There's the sound of footsteps, stuttering again briefly, and then they come back.

"Here, this sh-"

"-tle." There's a soft hiss as something is inject into Isis's arm.

Even so, the painkiller has helped immeasurably, her other hand drops as well as she breathes heavily. Relaxed.

All three threads are still firing at once, but with the headache dulled from painkillers, she can arrange the chaos in her head into a more semblence of order.

She takes a deep shuddering breath. "Something happened in the Nexus, something huge and very very large." Though the ordering of thoughts won't stop redundencies, as she's still in panic mode. "The Greater Balance exploded.. or something, I can't tell..." She trails off, realizing Eiko's fading, then reappearing. "...Vendya, you just vanished and reappeared twice."
