Okay. What the FUCK what that?

[shifts]

You tell me.

[totallyinaband]

Okay, if this is just me, I am fucking killing something.

Like, hellish visions. Every time I even fucking close my eyes.

[shifts]

It's not just you.

[totallyinaband]

[Neil hears the outburst around the same time he's jolted awake himself by some pretty horrible images. He considers saying something, or knocking on Stephen's door, but he opts to just wander out of his room and deposit himself on the couch instead.]

[A few minutes later and Stephen wanders out of his bedroom in his pajamas, his hair mussed and dark circles under his eyes. He stops when he sees Neil there. Okay, so they still aren't really talking to each other at the moment, but...]

You too?

[illgrowoutofit]

[Neil fixes Stephen with a looooong, weary stare. And then, slowly, he nods.]

Uhmm. Yeah.

[totallyinaband]

Coffee?
