Everyone got the same call-- and now we're all stuck in HQ with no hint of release in sight.

How are you coping?

[Okay, she hadn't thought that she would be right! Man, now she can't help feeling a little bad, especially since she had more than enough experience with that impending sense of death. That hers had been a setup from the beginning is moderately irrelevant.]

That's horrifying. [And she's the most eloquent girl in the world.]

It's not real, though. It can't be. When would you have ever been in that kind of danger?

[punchesyu]

That's what I thought too...but it keeps happening. Like a recurring nightmare or something, except it's furthering the story.

[He wants to believe so much that it isn't real. But it nags at him, eats away at his brain.]

Isn't it weird that it's not just one person though?

[gunslingerqueen]

That's probably the most discerning part. If it was just or two people, or even just one or two bands then there could be tons of explanations.

[Exhaustion, some weird food, a mostly benign illness that fucked with perception and memory, etc.] It just started out of nowhere and we have no way of stopping it.

[So were they just going to lose their minds here before they ever got out? ... Even thinking about it in passing makes her shiver.]

[punchesyu]

Yeah... I guess we should wait and see what else happens. Maybe that'll tell us more. Or maybe it'll stop.

[Maybe it's just a bad dream. He's still finding it hard to believe that it's real and that there might be something wrong.]

[gunslingerqueen]

[There's definitely something wrong, to say or insist otherwise is just an outright lie - whether it's a necessary one to retain ones sanity is still beside the point.] There's not much else we can do.

[But...] We could try and keep track of what everyone's symptoms are. That way we'll have an organized sense of what's occurring, and a better way to discern what 'worse' could even be. We have to approach this logically, otherwise we're just running around with our heads cut off.

[punchesyu]

Good idea. So far, I think all I've heard of is the weird-ass visions people are having. Aside from the creepy stuff that was happening on the tour. But that still might be coincidence.

[He'd kind of blown it off and made fun of anyone who really got scared by that stuff.]

Let's keep an eye out and compare lists every now and again.

[gunslingerqueen]

Wait, that happened to you guys, too?

[She'd ... Convinced herself it wasn't a big deal either, especially since it had only gotten worse in the last part of the tour.]

When did our lives become some weird merry go round. [Weird visions and shared ghost experiences. Joy.]

you wanna end this one here?

[punchesyu]

I don't know. But I know we'll figure this thing out.

[But he doesn't tell her how excited he is about it. Or how fun this actually is for him.]
