Nope. Nothing weirder than usual. [she means people just doing dumb shit. but since he seems to be zoning she will approach and settle down in front of him. also checking the throat again to make sure that's really still closed.] It feels silly to ask if you're okay when it sounds like none of you were expecting this at all, but...how're you feeling?
[emotionally. she is pretty sure he still feels like he was hit by a bus.]
[company...she lets him shuffle closer and stays still to let him settle where he wants.]
No kidding. What happened last week was bad enough, and now knowing something like this might happen in the middle to unsuspecting people...[it's frustrating. she hates it!
also she hears "i'll be okay" versus "i am okay" so she will be keeping that in mind...]
We'll have to keep our guard up as best as we can. [...] Think you're up for talking about what happened?
[oh good. she does not like that and that really is a bit unsettling to think that something like this can happen. psychic damage is much harder to fight.]
[she continues to hate this for a few different reasons. mostly because it's drastically unfair it was these four (geto is still a teenager), but also because she...knows what that looks like, dealing with people who aren't themselves and can't tell reality from their own perceptions.]
I would say that's a big problem, yeah. What do you mean they were trying to kill you? Why?
I know it might not feel that way, but maybe that's for the better that you were still you. [but also frustrating to have to deal with someone else poking around in there. god.]
I wish this hadn't happened, or at least that you all were a little more prepared. But I'm glad you were able to make it back to us in order to get some help. Maybe we should just be grateful for that.

I'll be okay. [ ... ] I'm just worried. We have enough threats to worry about already.

It can mess with your mind. Give you fake memories, and make you forget who are, and then bring it all back when it's convenient.
no subject
...what sort of fake memories?
no subject
Just like "you belong here", even if it's a place you've never been. There was definitely a time where I thought the village was just a dream.
no subject
Did the four of you remember each other, at least? If you thought the village was a dream.
no subject
I had other problems since the city people were trying to kill me.
no subject
I would say that's a big problem, yeah. What do you mean they were trying to kill you? Why?
no subject
I was a monster. Undead.
no subject
...did you at least feel like yourself? Besides the memories. [or were you possessed on top of everything else?]
no subject
[ Ugh. ]
It seems like too much power for one person to have, especially since we were able to beat her in the fight later.
no subject
How'd you guys finally beat her?
no subject
There was a doll that acted as her conduit. We tore it in half and... she died with it.
no subject
Like...a puppet. [she says this very slowly, almost hesitantly.] When she died. Is that how you guys found your way back?
no subject
We stumbled on a room and stole a couple of things on our way back, but... that's basically it.
