[ Yeah, no, with all of these weird-ass hallucinations going on, Felix is not leaving his room. His tone is both shaken and incredibly irritated. ]

Fuck this, seriously. I'm in Freyr 107, weathering this out with a hell of a lot of vodka. Open invitation to anyone who isn't completely bloody crazy.

I'm all for that, mate.

[voice]

[felixtheprat]

One voice I'm glad to hear from, at least. You coming over?

[oncomingblonde]

Yeah, I'll be over soon as I can.

[She tries to sound as positive as she can, but honesty is the best policy - she's bone exhausted, and shaken as hell.]

[damselled]

Oh, gracious. I do believe I would like to join you, at least for a little while.

[felixtheprat]

[ She's not the only one, though Felix is endeavoring to make his come across as irritation instead of honest fear. ]

Need an escort?

[ It should be a testament to the fact that he's fond of her. He really doesn't want to leave the imagined safety of his room. ]

[felixtheprat]

Come on up. Got plenty to drink, and loads of paper if we run out.

[damselled]

I would very much appreciate that. The day has been quite hard.

I am Maribelle. And you are?

[felixtheprat]

Felix Dawkins. I'd say it's a pleasure to meet you, but I'm not sure anything is a pleasure right now, and starting this relationship off with a lie would definitely be an assholish thing to do.

[ Yeah - vague rambling has a lot to do with the fact that he's just tired. ]

[oncomingblonde]

Well, you're quite the gentleman. But I think I can manage it on my own, thanks.

[She hopes she doesn't regret saying that. But it's just hallucinations, right?]

[damselled]

I... rather agree.

Very well, then. Do you wish me to bring you anything?

Give hallucinating people with magic powers even less control of their terror and of themselves. Should probably be surprised no one tried this earlier.

[A snort.]

When this goes wrong, call on me.

[felixtheprat]

Oi, hey. [ Hand to his heart, he winces playfully. ] Gentleman, really? That's an insult, I'll have you know.

[ Then, with a tired half-shrug: ] See you in a bit, then. Careful out there, too.

[felixtheprat]

Can't begin to imagine what you could bring that I can't just doodle up for myself, but the thought's appreciated, honest.

[felixtheprat]

Oh ye of little faith. [ Felix just shakes his head, tutting softly in mock disappointment. ] You could always come watch the fun firsthand.

[oncomingblonde]

Like I'm ever anything but.

[A private joke with herself, in a way - "jeopardy friendly", the Doctor's called her. She could get herself into trouble just walking to the kitchen for a glass of water.

But about half an hour later, she'll be knocking on Felix's door - all in one piece, if not looking at bit worse for wear.]

[ka_sera_sera]

I'll stay within running distance. At least try to be cautious.

[Roland sighs, his tone dry. It's all fun and games until someone sets the building on fire.]

[splendid_solitude]

How strong of alcohol are we talking about here?

[Because nothing quiets the voices in your head quite like lots and lots of alcohol.]

[damselled]

Of course. I shall be there shortly.

[sestra]

It can probably still get you in your rooms.

[video]

[stilledsurgeon]

You know, kid, I think all of our collective cheeses have slipped our crackers.

But if there's booze, I'm in.

[felixtheprat]

[ Felix rolls himself to his feet, cautious as he approaches the door and peers out at her. When he recognizes her as a friendly face, he relaxes, stepping back and swinging it open. ]

You made it.

[felixtheprat]

Just knock. Keeping the door locked, surprisingly enough.

[felixtheprat]

And what fun is caution, again?

[Video]

[felixtheprat]

[ He tends to agree. :') ]

'Bout as strong as I can find.

[felixtheprat]

Well, don't tell it that.
