And why did she sound so…unlike herself? He would make it worse. He always made it worse. How was he going to mess up now? Jenny didn’t react to what Ed said, almost as if she couldn’t hear him. ”Up here.” She pointed at her head. Something flickered in her eyes again. It wasn’t a happy thing, but it was at least something other than emptiness. Everything was pain, but she couldn’t cry.

But no, that would be too hard for both of them. So he just stared at his knees.

He doesn’t care about you. He never did.

Then he shoved it down. All it would do is make it hurt more. He turned away.

He looks out the window again parting some of the vines, noticing the large amount of police cars crowding below, and pouring towards the arch. "Umm guys I think we need to go now"

All it would do is make it hurt more. He turned away. Jenny quit speaking for a moment. Then she managed to barely say a single word in a quiet, hoarse voice. ”Help.” 1 minute ago, Scars of Hathsin said: Aaron watches the two stunned. "What just happened" he says. unsure if anyone heard him. He looks out the window again parting some of the vines, noticing the large amount of police cars crowding below, and pouring towards the arch. "Umm guys I think we need to go now" Jenny’s smile faded into an appropriately concerned expression for the situation. It looked more realistic this time, but still wasn’t perfectly accurate. She stood up, her motions now less jerky. ”Good idea.” She started off towards the exit, not looking behind her.

Interactions with the police needed to be avoided. Killing mortals would draw too much attention. ”Alright.” She strolled over and waited patiently, standing still with her hands at her sides. Quote This is very out of character for Jenny

How was he supposed to help her? He was doing everything he could. And that meant…he couldn’t try. That would just hurt her.

A familiar, deep voice could be heard. It was oddly muffled, making any specific ideas difficult to discern. No trace of Jenny seemed to be present save for the occasional soft, sourceless whimper.

It couldn’t risk anything overhearing its thoughts. A softer voice spoke, no longer drowned out by the noise, but Jenny herself couldn’t be seen anywhere. Please help.

Questions were painful. This was an important one, though. She had to answer. Anyone but Roy. The was the conclusion that required the least thought, so it didn’t burn as badly as it could’ve. It still burned, though. She was starting to doubt if this conversation was worth it.

Lunamor she/her Posted April 23, 2024 Posted April 23, 2024 Externally, Jenny showed none of what was happening in her mind. She glanced around to make sure that no one was watching, then winked at Roy. Talking to him directly would be too suspicious; Jenny’s hatred of the boy was already quite well known. @RoyalBeeMage

That was annoying, but also a good sign. The full extent of Jenny’s condition was apparently not noticeable. Her general, customary oddness must’ve concealed this different type of oddness. She then noticed that Gift had slithered over to Lucid. That would be a problem. She couldn’t drag Gift away from Lucid or restrain it without drawing too much attention. Lucid would have to be convinced that he was seeing reality incorrectly. That task wasn’t too difficult when you had plenty of practice already, although it was unclear how strong the boy’s mind was. Jenny glanced over at Edgar. The boy had put up far less of a fight than had been expected. He hadn’t even tried to help. That made things easy. The girl hadn’t expected him to abandon her, either. It had left her with old wounds reopened and an opportunity that arrived early. @Wierdo @Weaver of Lies
