EVENT HORIZON - DAY THREE

[inferis]

[Well, things sure aren't fun for you guys right now, are they? And to make matters worse, some of you have become completely corrupted by the ship, and you've got some crazy new ideas in your heads.

Anyone not corrupted isn't doing that hot either. Not only do you have to deal with your new crazy-face buddies, but you have to deal with your own terrible hallucinations coming at you when you least expect them, and they want you to do terrible, awful things]

[The Once-ler shrugs in response and immediately regrets it. Ow]

You're only human.

[Pause]

...Or whatever other species you can be, I don't know, it's always really hard to tell in this place. Anyway, none of us are inexhaustible. No one is going to hate you for taking five.

Except maybe House, but he hates people just for existing so I wouldn't take it personally.

[save_the_souls]

[Only human? Yeah. Sure. Let's go with that. Let's ignore whispers of "Noah noah noah". He'll offer a weak smile at what Onceler is saying, because it is nice in it's own jerkish way]

...Ah, you're right. Thank you.

Are you feeling all right?

[whichwayyoulean]

[Sometimes, only sometimes, he has the ability to be somewhere close to a decent human being. Still, at Allen's question, he glances over at his furry 'friend', frowning a little, before dropping his gaze to his ruined knee, his eyes squinting a little, frustrated at being stuck in one place]

It's doing nothing to me that I haven't run through in my head a thousand times already. Who knew bucket loads of self-loathing would be helpful in a situation like this? Not me.

[save_the_souls]

Heh...or already hearing and seeing things others can't.

[He'll shake his head]

I'm glad you're still with us though. Or at least of a sound mind.

[whichwayyoulean]

Go Team Us.

[He makes a soft sound that could almost be amusement if everything wasn't so shitty already]

Same to you. Of course, you're keeping us all alive so I figure most people are glad you you to still be around.

[save_the_souls]

If they're even aware we're here...

[Since yeah, a lot of people sound like they've disconnected from reality here]

Still, I'm sure there's lots of people glad you're sane and alive.

[whichwayyoulean]

...Good point. Most of them seem to be...seeing something else entirely.

[He runs a hand through his hair, he's tired and he's just about had enough, and he DOESN'T know where so many of the people he cares about are. They could be anywhere]

If they're sane and alive, too.

[save_the_souls]

Things important to us, but twisted to want us to destroy and hurt ourselves and others.

[That's what he gathered from his illusions, when he bothered to look. Mana would never say those things. He wouldn't hurt a fly.]

Ino is! You two are friends, aren't you?

[whichwayyoulean]

[He casts a glance over at the not!Lorax frowning a little] Pretty much. I'm kind of getting sick of the castle pulling this one now.

[He manages a smile at the mention of Ino's name] Yeah. We are. [More than that, really, she's family]

[save_the_souls]

I am too, but unfortunately it's one of its favourite things to do.

[He nods and smiles a little too] So that's one important person. You don't want to cross her either!

[whichwayyoulean]

Trust me, I know firsthand what happens when you cross her. I try to do it as little as possible.
