Late Late Late at night. 2nd Floor Common Room.

Marty stumbled out of room 212 after unsuccessfully trying the meditation techniques that Brenda Chenowith had given him. He knew why it wasn't working. He should have gone to the ceremony tonight.

He decides the best kind of meditation involves a remote control and a TV set with cable.

He plops down in front of the TV and tries to find something decent on.

"I see. Your... involvement, you say?"

John adjusted in the sofa, the better to defend or run away.

((sounds good))

"She thinks I did it." Marty says in a dead tone of voice.

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"And did you?" John's tone of voice was as dead as Kitty's Marty's.

"That's the big question isn't it?"

Marty stares at the tv for a long period of time.

"The scary part is? I don't even know if it's true or not."

John waited what he felt was a reasonable time before responding.

"How could you not know?"

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

"All I know is that I went for a walk with Rory and the next thing I know I woke up at Chaucer's. I... I don't remember a damn thing."

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"So what the hell happened? Do you usually black out? Something you ate? Something you didn't? What does Rory have to say?"

Gently, John, probe, don't bludgeon.

Just that she saw me running out of the alley where Kitty was supposedly killed. Apparently I was out of my mind, shouting and just acting crazy.

"So either something happened to you externally or internally. Are you prone to frequent bursts of shouting and acting crazy?"

"So Rory just saw the supposed aftermath."

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

"I'm not sure... I don't know what happened. Based on what Rory said and... well some of the dreams I've had I'm wondering if I was hit by some of that fear gas that was released at Spikes not too long ago.

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"Fear gas? I've heard of it, but not what it does."

Could this be what Angelus was talking about?
