  1. She looked at her arm (still being held by TAAron) and back at Jar Man.
  2. DG Aventine was crying but saw the tongue through her tears. She gave JM a look of I swear.
  3. There was another pang of ache in her head, this one not just an emotion, but a memory. It was from this other Aventine's perspective. Her limbs were shackled and her chin was being held in place by Rue. "This isn't right," Aventine had said. It was the last thing she ever said. Aventine fell backwards due to some force she couldn't explain.
  4. She flinched away. The "original" Aventine said, "I... I think she's scared of you."
  5. The next sob this other Aventine took, TAAron realized why she hadn't spoken - she didn't have a tongue.
  6. "Wait-" The pain in Aventine's head changed. "Not us - she's not scared of us hurting her."
  7. "You think I know?" Aventine asked. "I feel like I'm in The Parent Trap or something... My head hurts." The Aventine he grabbed broke eye contact and covered her face with her free hand. The other Aventine came over, holding her forehead. In the midst of the ache in her skull, it felt like there was a faint connection - and over it was conveyed emotion. Fear. "I... I think she's scared of us."
  8. The Aventine he held still said nothing, but her eyes began to fill with tears. The Aventine with Jar Man slipped on the water she'd dripped on the floor and fell on her butt.
  9. She looked him in the eyes, but said nothing. Sounds began to erupt from the end of the hall where she had been - Elan, Jar Man, and... Aventine. @Ookla of Ravens @Ookla the Prehistoric
  10. They grunted when they hit the ground, but quickly got up and kept running. They only looked back for a moment. When the figure got closer, TAAron recognized them. It looked exactly like the young Rioter they had met before he'd left the Clinic for the underworld.
  11. They panicked for a moment before realizing... He only has my cloak! They slipped out of the cloak, showing their presence, but they'd been found out anyway. They ran as fast as they could, and when they turned the corner, their hood fell. The flowing dark hair was familiar. @Ookla the Believer @Ookla the Abstract
  12. After a moments hesitation, Jar Man heard the person sprinting away.
  13. "That's a little freaky. Who do you thi-" She interrupted herself, listening. Just a few feet to her right, the floorboards squeaked.
  14. "Er... 'weird people'?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The figure from the hallway froze, undetectable under their cloak. Had one of them been compromised?
  15. "I think that would just creep me out more." Her smile wasn't forced anymore.
  16. She sighed. "I should probably see if I could get a roommate or something. Probably the best way to prevent something like this from happening again..."
  17. Aventine laughed. "It is ironic, isn't it... But in a sense, we were both sobered - you from actual drugs, me from intrusive thoughts."
