TTS, Saturday morning

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

Willow woke up and sleepily made her way into the living room. She put on a pot of coffee, fired up her laptop to check her email, and waited for proper wakefulness to occur.

Marie wasn't too far behind her. She walked in, waved and grabbed a pitcher of juice from the fridge.

Still not really awake yet, Willow contented herself with waving in a gesture that encompassed both "Hi" and "Coffee's over there if you want it."

Marie finished pouring her glass of juice and went to sit on the couch.

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Morning," Willow said, or tried to. Of course no sound came out.

[untouchableskin.livejournal.com]

After swallowing the mouthful of juice, Marie looked at Willow quizzically and rubbed her ears. It looked like Willow had said something, but Marie hadn't heard anything.

"Morning," she said. Well, tried to. Her eyes went wide.

Okay now she was waking up enough to notice something was wrong. Willow rubbed her throat and tried again. "Marie?"

Yep, still nothing.

[untouchableskin.livejournal.com]

Marie was frantically rubbing her ears. "I can't hear you!" she tried to shout.

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

Willow looked worried. She mimicked Marie's gesture in the hope it would help. "I've gone deaf!" she tried to say.

[untouchableskin.livejournal.com]

Something in Marie's brain kicked in and she leaned down and knocked on the table. She heard the sound and looked at Willow to see if she had as well.

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

Willow nodded when she heard that. She then clicked for a blank email and typed in nice big letters:

I can't feel my voice

[untouchableskin.livejournal.com]

Marie nodded at Willow's message and reached for the laptop with a gesture that indicated 'Do you mind?'

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

Willow moved over so she could hand it to Marie and sit beside her.

[untouchableskin.livejournal.com]

Giving her roommate a brief smile, she took the laptop and typed:

Do you think it's laryngitis?

Marie tilted her head at the last word, not sure if it was spelled correctly, but assuming Willow would understand anyway.

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

Willow looked thoughtful. She tried to recite her ABCs with her hand against her throat. She felt and heard nothing.

She leaned over and typed Maybe? My throat doesn't hurt.

[untouchableskin.livejournal.com]

Marie considered that and tried to clear her throat. Nothing happened and she frowned.

She typed Mine either and I can't even clear my throat.

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

A thought occured to Willow. She gestured at Marie's orange juice and indicated that Marie should try to drink all of it, since maybe that would help.

[untouchableskin.livejournal.com]

Figuring she had nothing to lose by trying, Marie picked up the glass and finished her juice.

When she was done, she tried to speak again. When that didn't work, she tried clearing her throat.

She shook her head sadly at Willow.

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

Willow wondered how they could've both gone mute at the same time.

An idea occured to her, and she looked proud for thinking of it.

Did you eat at the picnic yesterday?

[untouchableskin.livejournal.com]

Marie shook her head but smiled to indicate it was a good thought.

Something occurred to her. Was there anything on radio? I didn't listen.

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

Willow nodded frantically. Proving that her priorities were always in the right order, she typed:

Peter's sister asked about his sex life, ZOMG!!!!!!!!

[untouchableskin.livejournal.com]

After giving Willow a horrified look, Marie leaned over:

ON THE RADIO?????

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

Willow looked just as horrified.

No! They said it on radio. Susan didn't call in.

Willow then remembered she hadn't heard all of Barbossa's show this week.

I don't *think* she did.

[untouchableskin.livejournal.com]

Marie bit her lip.

I'm so sorry she typed, not having any idea if there was even anything to be sorry about, really, but since it was obviously upsetting Willow, Marie wanted to offer support.

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

I have got to be more mindful of squirrels Willow typed, because to her that made sense.

[untouchableskin.livejournal.com]

Not sure what squirrels had to do with anything, Marie suddenly remembered their current predicament.

Do you think the squirrels stole our voices?
