She's - like be▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ not the radiation again? You need - doctor, you ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ talk to a doctor - John, tell him -

[Abruptly he falls silent. Then there's the blunt muffled sounds of someone scrambling and failing to get up in a hurry.]

▒▒▒▒one's here.

[0thingsonmymind]

*A doctor? That might be a good idea. John, though...he's not sure he wants to risk this showing up in the doctor's notes. Certainly not House. Who else was there? The robot one? Robots were supposed to be good at things, weren't they? Or he could just ask Davesprite, maybe he'd know tips from her world.*

[bookofnope]

I can't s▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ cloak. [His breathing is louder, more agitated. A bit more rattling and the video feed is on. Beckett turns it away from himself to show far the corner of the room he's in.]

It's a girl. Can you ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒er?

[But there is no one there.]

[0thingsonmymind]

*He studies the video for a few moments, looking for someone within the static...*

idonot see any one

[bookofnope]

What? [The tablet shifts, left, right. It shows more of the room, but nothing else within.] She's ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ the eyes. On the wall. Right there. Can ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒yes?

[He knows better than to panic, even groggy and confused as he is. He could very well be dreaming. Wouldn't that be a relief.]

We've ha▒▒▒▒▒▒tual hallucinations before, haven't ▒▒▒▒ stayed in the house for ▒▒▒▒ enough, I don't... ▒▒▒▒ won't let me come near. Too fast...

Is ▒▒▒▒ all? Ask her ▒▒at she sees. Maybe ▒▒▒▒▒▒ of the same ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒. The whole. The ▒▒▒▒lity of it...

There's a pattern. ▒▒▒▒▒▒ always a pattern. She's - can Jade see her? ▒▒▒ girl. The eyes. I can't - can't ▒▒▒▒ away.

Only me. [His breath rasps again. What does it mean? Does it mean anything, or is he simply going mad - madder?]

Sh▒▒▒ drawing arou▒▒ me. I think she might ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ pen me in. I don't - Brian, ▒▒▒▒ do I do?

[0thingsonmymind]

*Drawing around him? He's not entirely sure what that means, but 'pen me in' can only be bad. Or so he thinks.*

[bookofnope]

Yes - it's better - [It's terribly hard to concentrate. He moves, but as soon as he moves he wants to sit down and sleep again. There's the strangest, sick temptation to just wait and let the girl do her worst.]

What is Jade ▒▒▒▒ng? What did ▒▒▒ mean? Keep talking. I need ▒▒ stay awake...

*He's tried giving her all sorts of things but none of them seem to help much. He's not so good at this kind of helping.*

Bed. ▒▒▒▒. Keep her ▒▒▒re. Keep her warm... [You'd think he would know by now what to do with illness. If he could only focus...]

You men▒▒▒▒▒▒ she said - green? Was ▒▒ green?

[0thingsonmymind]

yes, i▒m try▒▒▒g

*Its not so much that she gets out of bed or anything like that, its that he keeps failing at fighting the fear that no one is real. At least when that happens he gets distracted by the eyes and don't end up leaving before he can see her again. And remember to fight back.*

And she's - sick be▒▒▒▒▒▒ of that glow? [He hopes he understood that. Maybe it isn't as bad as he thought...] What ▒▒▒▒▒▒ closes her eyes? Can ▒▒▒ still s▒▒ it?

Then ▒▒▒▒n't in her mind. Good. Try ▒▒ cover her fa▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ dark fabric. It should ease ▒▒▒▒ -

[His voice slows, then cuts off in static, before cutting in again on a gasp.]

I can't - ▒▒ lose focus and she ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ around me...

sorry this took so long!
