7th Sending [Commentlog]

[It's with a start that the Keep empath wakes once more in her room, but unfortunately since her untimely death she has no idea where or whom she is.

She rises from her bed, breath coming quick and raggedly as confusion fills her mind.

It would be far too simple for her to remain in the room alone until someone came to her, but things never work that easily, do they?

She steps from her room and physically cringes back against the stone wall as the Keep flares to life in a whole different way. Her hand goes to her forehead as emotions from all around suddenly hammer into her mind at the same moment.

She had no idea what was happening, but this was more than enough to spark fear into her own thoughts. She stumbles away from her room, leaving behind her journal, as she seeks only for a way out and silence for her mind .. too bad she's not going to find things that easy.

((ooc: And so begins the stumbling wanderings of Talia. Feel free to run into her ANYWHERE around or in the Keep.))

Stop it.

[A little ways ahead of her, Talia will see a little Satyros, with her hands clamped over her ears.]

[Aht wants to forgive. She really does. But this hurts. It hurts so much and all she wants is for it to go away.]

Stocke, please help me.

[At that name, there's flair of something. Certainly not a normal reaction. Aht's fondness for Stocke is nearly incomparable and she misses him terribly.]

[It's been two days since Kevas began searching for Talia and he hasn't stopped since. The only times he stopped were for when he needed food and rest. Now, after seeing Chloe's post, he's charging to Talia's room to find her. She's lost control of her power and undoubtedly scared. He has to help her calm down and get control again.

When he sees her he stops in the middle of the hall. She won't remember him, and he's not exactly to most friendly looking thing in this keep. He has to be careful not to scare her and make things worse.]


Talia...

[Commentlog] ;w;

[identity profile] drinkuntilidie.livejournal.com 2011-09-01 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
[Kevas' heart wrenches when he sees her. She's terrified, not just of him but of everything. For now he keeps his distance and keeps his hands where she can see him. He doesn't want her to think that he's trying to deceive her.]

All I be wantin' to do be help joo. [To prove his point he unbuckles his sword belt and tosses it aside.]

Please calm down. I ain't be wantin' joo to get her.

[He takes no step closer but he hopes that through their bond she can tell he's not lying to her and that he loves her. That is if nothing happened to it when she was killed.]

[It hurts to see her like this and it's even worse that he can't do anything to help her. All Kevas really knows of her abilities is what he experienced through their bond. He knows she can pick up on others' emotions but he doesn't how to keep her from doing so. No matter what though, he has to at least try to help her.

Slowly he approaches Talia, kneeling down in front of her. Only twice since he's known has he ever seen her look this broken. If he could take all that pain away from her he would. It's not fair that she has to bear it alone. Gently he puts his arms around her and holds her, like he's trying to shield her from the keep. When he speaks it's in a whisper.]


I know joo don't, but just know dat I be a mon dat be lovin' joo very much and I be wantin' to help.

[He tucks her head under his chin.]

Just try to take control. I know joo can do it.

[Kevas just continues to hold her in the hallway. He can feel her shaking in his arms and gives her a reassuring squeeze. If only he knew just how to answer her questions. As happy he is to have her back in his arms he feels completely useless to her right now.]

Joo be an empath but, I ain't be knowin' how joo control it.

[He hates having to tell her that. She's looking to him for answers that he just give her.]

But we'll figuah it out, and I'll be right by joor side fuh every moment.

[At least he can do that for her, and maybe if he's around he can drown out everything else she's feeling from the keep.]

[Of course she's important to him. She's his wife, but he's unsure whether to just come right out and say that. Talia is already going through a lot and he doesn't want to say anything that might shock her. Learning that she's married to a giant troll might be a bit too much for her right now. One thing he definitely won't be telling her is that she died.]

Joo were hurt and joo lost joor memuhry. Joor name be Talia, and I be Kevas.

[He strokes her hair, trying to get her to calm down. With all the emotions that must be running through her head, he doubts it will do much for her but he can at least try. If nothing else maybe his own emotions will be enough to give her some kind of security blanket.]

Aye, joo be very dear to me. Dat be why I be here to help as much as I can. [He smiles and gently wipes the tears from her eyes.] Joo'll remembuh everytin' in time, and until den I promise I'll be right here fuh jah.

[He loves her. He loves her more than anything and by the Loa does he want to tell her that. At least there's comfort in knowing that she can feel his love for her if nothing else. She might not be able to remember being his wife, but he won't stop being her husband. As long as she's in this vulnerable state he's not leaving her side. There will be time to berate himself for not being there later. Right now she needs him.]

Joo don't have to t'ank me. I'll always be here fuh joo.

[After sitting there for a few moments more Kevas looks down at her.]

Do joo t'ink joo can stand?

[He knows she's in pain, but he can't just let her sit here in the middle of the hallway. She needs a place where she can rest, most likely his room. There he can watch her and help her when she needs it.]

[If anyone is going to feel terrible it's Kevas. Not only did he let her die but now she's suffering for it. The pain on her face is easy to read, as if just her dying isn't enough. He hates to see her like this. Whoever did this to her will suffer, no doubt about that, but for now he needs to focus on helping her. He's sure she's already feeling enough negative emotions at the moment. Right now, feeling something positive would be good for her.

She may hate her gifts now, but he knows they've done good for people in the past. He knows because he's one of them. She healed him and made him a better mon. That's just the kind of woman she is and just one of the reason he fell in love with her.

When she stands he smiles, but it's obvious she's having trouble with it. Part of him just wants to lift her into his arms and carry her. Instead Kevas just puts an arm around her waist to give her some support.]


Come on, we'll go to my room. Dere joo can rest until dis be all ovah.

[There he can help her until she finally manages to get a reign on her abilities. Though he's not entirely sure how he'll do it. Talia may have told him about her powers but without actually knowing how to use them himself he's got no advice to give her.]
thii2ii22tupiid: (headache)

[personal profile] thii2ii22tupiid 2011-09-01 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
*Not that she'd know what it'd mean, but Talia's first clue that Sollux was near would be the growing headache. It'd start off relatively mild but would not-so-slowly grow to migraine strength. The sort of headache where it seems thinking might make it worse. As it starts to get up to full strength she'd start picking up on the voices Sollux hears, though she'd be limited to emotions. It's really a jumble of them, almost incomprehensible, but traces of fear and anger are most common. It might just be overwhelming to the unprepared, its pretty bad to Sollux and he's lived with it for around 13 earth years.
By the time Sollux rounds the corner and comes face to face with Talia, though, his own emotions should be clearer than the chaotic mess (the mess is STRONGER, and partly obscuring Sollux's own emotions, but his are much less vague and jumbled). Some depression, lots of pain, and lots of anger.*

...oh fuck me.

*Sollux stops short as he notices Talia. It may be apparent that a good portion of that rage is directed towards her. And he seems to be connecting at least some of the pain to her as well.*

[personal profile] thii2ii22tupiid 2011-09-01 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
*Sollux frowns, but doesn't move for a moment. Was she acting that way simply because she couldn't remember or was it something else? She could read other people, afterall, so...
His brow furrows, some of his anger shifting towards confusion, some towards self pity and a very small amount into concern towards her.
Most of it stays anger, though.*

You can hear it can't you? Or whatever you do.

*He sighs, this was going to end up really annoying down the line, wasn't it? Just what he fucking needed. She'd better not try to offer to help him again.*

I'm a mutant.

*He crosses his arms and continues to regard her not bothering to move closer or further away.
She didn't really deserve an explanation, but maybe giving her a small one would keep her from hunting him down for more once she remembered who he was.*

Those are the screams of the imminently deceased, even if they're obscured by this fucking keep. I've always heard them, I always will, and its why I'd prefer if you stay the fuck out of my head.

*The anger spikes some with that last sentence as he dwells on the trouble said voices have caused him. And as it spikes Talia might just notice the red and blue energy sparking above his head (like on the first icon 8D). He's not planning to do anything with it, it just happens when he gets worked up.
He hmphs and makes an effort to calm himself, at least outwardly, and the energy fades as he does. He's still pissed, and very much on edge, but is trying to hold it in check. Except it seems like he'd explode if jostled wrong.*

Don't fucking worry about what I should or shouldn't or, hell, anything about me. Just go find your coddamned matesprit and hide somewhere far away from the rest of us until you remember how to stop fucking screaming.

*The fact that she feels grateful towards him for answering actually annoys him more. Partly its due to feeling anything from her, party its due to making her feel better instead of worse. But whatever, she'd clearly feel however she felt and he wasn't able to do anything about that, nor did he care to try and understand it.*

You aren't sorry. You might think you are now but when you remember you'll know better.

*He is absolutely convinced of this, and his bitterness at it--and at what she did to Isabella--could possibly be sensed even if she had her shields up. Isa meant very much to him and Talia had hurt her, Sollux might have been able to ignore the discomfort Talia caused him, but no one fucked with his moirail and got away with it.
Except Talia got away with it, because doing anything here meant facing retaliation from the lord of the keep and her mate. Something Sollux wasn't prepared to deal with at this time.
As for offers to help...he truly believes there's no help for him. This is something he's stuck with, and it seems not even death can change that. There's no way some meddling human, or anything else, could do anything about it.

He sighs and shakes his head at how strongly she wants to stop hurting people. As far as she's concerned until she can do something about it it doesn't matter how she feels.*

Go to one of the far corners of the keep then, past the lake or near the forest, then maybe you'll be far enough away from the rest of us to do some damned good.

*He hmphs again and turns to leave, he can find another path to his destination than past her. And he has no reason to fear turning his back on her would leave an opening; she's clearly in no state to attack. But still the line of thought that turning his back on an enemy may not be wise is still there.*

[Tetsu was just walking down the hallway, minding his own business, when it hits him hard over the side of the head like a boulder to the brain. Grimacing, he clamps his hands over his ears and winces in pain.

Talia's the only one in sight.]


Lady, what the hell do ya think you're doing!?

[identity profile] culinarybeast.livejournal.com 2011-09-01 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[Good thing Tetsu doesn't have any deep emotional traumatic issues to work out or, more relevantly, to throw at her skull. Sadly, he also doesn't have much sympathy for someone screwing with his head. Maybe later, but certainly not now. His brain feels like it's bouncing around in his skull with every small movement he makes.

He narrows his eyes, baring his rather sharp tiger like teeth, and growls.]


Then try, dammit! You're killin' me!

[His hands tighten their grip on his temples and ears as the wave of emotion sweeps from her to him.

It hurts.]

[identity profile] culinarybeast.livejournal.com 2011-09-05 05:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[Tetsu isn't a empath or telepath or anything of the sort. He's just an animal. His mental defenses are non existent. His mind unprotected and completely open to Talia's assault. Suffice to say, it really hurts.

Then suddenly it stops, leaving behind a headache and one irritated Totetsu.

Gingerly, he removes his hands from the side of his head and turns his attention to Talia.]


What the heck was that!?

[identity profile] culinarybeast.livejournal.com 2011-09-11 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
[Tetsu just huffs and stays put. He's not getting any closer to her then he has to.]

Hearin'? Ya nearly split my head open!

Join the club why don't ya. You've been kidnapped by some Lord What's-His-Name, just like everybody else in this damn place.
heavyweaponsbot: (Optimus I am disappoint.)

[personal profile] heavyweaponsbot 2011-09-01 07:52 am (UTC)(link)
There you are.

[One of these days, Ironhide will learn better than to stomp up behind people who aren't facing him. Or else announce his presence, unless he wants to scare people.]

[He found her in some random hallway, and is watching her, arms folded, his head canted to one side. The old 'bot is about as sensitive as his name implies, and currently, has little on his mind except the sense of accomplishment at finding the missing person.]

[... Ironhide is also not one for emotions, unless it's certain circumstances.]
heavyweaponsbot: (Truth will show)

[personal profile] heavyweaponsbot 2011-09-01 08:11 pm (UTC)(link)
'Course not.

[He snorts. Why would he be in some human's head? That's just silly. He doesn't understand what she means, but the fact she doesn't recognize him doesn't bode well, considering what he knows now.]

I am in my head. And I will stay there.

[And there's some of Ironhide's usual, rock-solid confidence. He tilts his head a little.]

Yeah. From the Elegante.
heavyweaponsbot: (We are not amused)

[personal profile] heavyweaponsbot 2011-09-06 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
... What are you talking about?

[No, really, he has no idea what that means. Has she lost her mind?]

[He crouches slightly, peering at her. His good optic narrows.]


The Elegante. The ship.

You forget?
heavyweaponsbot: (Built like a brick house.)

oh way to click post too early, self.

[personal profile] heavyweaponsbot 2011-09-10 09:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well. That sort of paints an awkward picture. Either she's like the others who don't remember the ship ... or...]

[Okay, neither option is a good one.]

[He grunts, and straightens up. Even if she doesn't remember, he does. And he knows who's been looking for this female.]


C'mon then. Follow me.
Edited 2011-09-10 21:28 (UTC)

HI WANNA HELP ME MAKE ACTIVITY? :D?

[identity profile] stoicguardian.livejournal.com 2011-09-01 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[Rest assured, Talia! There's a decidedly human man just ahead of you.

On second thought, scratch that rest assured part.

You see, there is years of regret stored up in this man. Years of pain and anger. Talia can probably feel the weight of it. Auron certainly does, though it never seems to show on his face. He is rock solid and prefers to keep it that way. And then there is relief, buried under the weight of everything else, but it's there and it's light. He must've spotted you, Talia, because here he comes.]


Kevas is looking for you.

[He's never actually met you, personally. But well, he said he'd help and he's a man of his word if nothing else.]

:Db

[identity profile] stoicguardian.livejournal.com 2011-09-02 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
[Forgive him Talia. If he knew how to turn all of this off, he would. Beating himself up for 10 years can really take a lot out of a guy. Though when she gets her memory back she should totally feel free o poke at that...love feeling he's got in there.]

You two are close.

[Which is all she's really going to get out of him. Kevas will fill in whatever she needs to know.]

[identity profile] stoicguardian.livejournal.com 2011-09-04 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
No. Not personally. I am friend of Kevas.

[it's not his place to say anymore than that.]
