FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE, MY FELLOW LUCETIANS

Who: EVERYONE
What: TRAUMA!
When: ALL THE TIME
Where: ANYWHERE
Summary: HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE TRAUMA. FREE FOR ALL IN THE SCARRING EXPERIENCES DEPARTMENT.
Rating: Gosh. I'm not sure. However, I suggest you hide your little'uns.

Basically, the purpose of this log is TRAUMA SPAM. If you didn't want to spam your flist with extra posts, or you wanted to post with more than one character -- or more than one character more than once! -- here is your place to be.

This will be a commentspam style log where you can thread start with your character hallucinating things. Whatever you wish it to be! It can even just be a more general thread start where they're not hallucinating anything -- yet. And each thread can get treated like a post, where that character's CR can react to the trauma going down!

If you still wish to actually post in your character's journal, you're of course totally allowed to do so. This is just here for funtiems and convenience for everyone who wanted a greater chance to post during this event! Feel free to use it anytime over the next few days, through Halloween, to do "posts" and threads with your characters.

Have at, guys!

I've had better days. [Bluntly.] So have you.

...I was looking for you. Wanted to know if you maybe wanted to come to the bar for a bit? [Because drinking in good company sounds like a good idea, right now.]

Edited 2010-10-28 08:15 (UTC)

[Away from the creepy atmosphere? You bet.] The bar? Sure. That's not a bad idea.

[Well, it'll be just as creepy in there, she suspects, but at least it'll be creepy with good company and alcohol.] Then come on. [She'll just, you know. Divert their course just slightly to head barwards, trying to avoid looking at the pumpkins.]

[She won't say anything else as she moves to Nami's side as they work their way through the little dirt road. At least now, Noel doesn't feel so lonely. And with Nami, she almost feels like the likelihood of something going wrong has gone down a bit.

That's right--because it's Nami. ...]

Edited 2010-10-28 08:45 (UTC)

[That's right! It's Nami. Who cares a lot about you, Noel, so she's trying to make sure you don't get left alone right now; she knows how many jerks you know. It's Nami, who'll happily walk with you toward the bar, her own mood picking up a little as she goes, because things aren't so bad if you remember it's not real.

...it's Nami who has the oddest, almost cruel little smile on her face as she gives you a sideways glance.]

[Nothing is said, her only response being the sudden shock that lays over countenance. That smile is something she would never think to see from Nami... but on the other hand, it isn't something Noel doesn't recognize. She's seen it before, so many times, and it rings all the little warning bells in her head.

Right? She's... seen it before, somewhere. Months ago.

... But where?

On Nami, it's almost too unrecognizable for her to tell. Noel's mind is clouded.]

[She's..really not going to miss the shocked look. So Nami hesitates, and knows already that what's wrong is a stupid question, and instead she gives a much softer grin.]

You gonna be okay?

[--You gonna be okay?

...That snaps her out of it. Blinking again, she sees that whatever cruelty there was in that smile had vanished.

Was it just a hallucination?]

I... yeah. [Sounding a little blank there, as if she were distracted by something else.]

It's not real. Whatever it is. Maybe just...I don't know. [Yeah, she doesn't really know how to deal with this situation.] I'm right here, anyway. Just remember that.

[To the bar!]

[She says it's not real. ...ffff, y-yeah. Of course. This is all in her head; just images made to mess with her. So don't think any further than that, Noel.

She laughs nervously.] R-Right. You're right. All of these things we're seeing... it isn't real. It'll be okay.

[And she's not alone.

... Following in!]

[Well. That's fine. Nami will be determinedly cheerful as they go into the mostly deserted bar. ...you'd think all the creepiness and hallucinatory trauma was keeping people at home, or something.] Take a seat, I can get us some drinks. Want something alcoholic today? [God knows she does.]

[They can just serve their own drinks, man. No problem. ...but while something alcoholic may sound tempting to Nami--] I probably shouldn't, b-but thank you.

Edited 2010-10-28 09:45 (UTC)

That's okay, I remember last time. I'll get you some soda.

[Off she goes! And will return very shortly with drinks. Going Merry for her, and something fizzy and non-alcoholic for Noel 8|]

Thanks. [And now she waits. For the soda. 8|]

[Her step hitches very briefly on the way back-- pausing as if listening to a sudden sound-- but Nami comes back to the table still smiling firmly, putting both glasses down. Soda for you.]

Just, y'know. Any time you feel like switching to something harder, let me know.

[Noel doesn't fail to notice that particular move. She starts to get a little worried, and when Nami hands her the glass of soda she gives her a weak smile in thanks before it falters back into a concerned look.] Are you going to be okay?

Yeah. [Said flatly, but after taking a sip of her drink, there's that same wan smile.] I don't like it, but I know it's not real. Long as I remember that, it's fine.

[The way she's able to reassure herself that even with the hallucinations occurring all around her is pretty admirable and... something she can sort of to look up to, in Noel's opinion.]

That's... really strong of you, Nami.

[Grin.] Well, let's face it. Luceti already sucks- this is small change compared to some of the stuff we've been through.

Edited 2010-10-28 15:32 (UTC)

Though I guess we can't all be strong. Isn't that so, Lieutenant?

[......

Did she hear that correctly? Those words Nami just spoke... did she really just say that? She stares at her friend for a few moments, in disbelief. ...not Nami. Nami would never say that; call her that. For a moment, her mind jumps to someone else--and she can begin to feel a terrible, lingering feel of dread when...]

[...ahaha. She looks away from the girl, shaking a little. You're hallucinating. It's not real. Your head is playing tricks on you; it's not happening.

Noel shudders, taking a deep breath before deciding to try looking at her friend again. Her hold on the glass tightens.

Please, Nami, prove to her that everything's okay, just like you said.] ...S-Sorry. What was that?

[Raised eyebrow. She can't miss that, Noel. So she repeats herself, carefully.] I said Luceti sucks. Compared to what we've already been through, this is--

[And trailing off. Why are you looking at her like that?]

...what did you see?

Edited 2010-10-28 15:50 (UTC)

[...See? It's fine, Noel.

Even if it was a hallucination, how could she just tell her that she just spoke like... him, almost? What would that even mean to Nami?

She shakes her head and smiles a little in reassurance.] Don't worry about it. I just--misheard what you said.

Mm. [Takes a sip of her drink with a faint frown.] Well, unless it sounds distinctly like me saying it, I'd ignore it.

[Kind of mean for a hallucination, Luceti.]
