Fourth floor Common room, Tuesday night, and all through the night into Wednesday morning

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

Ami continued sitting under a blanket in the common room. She found a marathon of shows on Ancient Vikings, which she was only vaguely watching. Mostly she was trying to make sure there was noise, light and lack of sleep. She was afraid to be alone, afraid to be in the dark and afraid to close her eyes.


[so, so open]

Tori was getting tired, so she smiled and shut her eyes. "I wouldn't dare disobey Dr. Troy. Trust me." Especially when it meant her getting better. "I know and I wish I could figure that out..."

Which was right about when an image of her strapped to what looked to be an examination table, the restraints preventing her from moving. Tori's eyes flew open and she sat up quickly, suddenly afraid to close her eyes again.

"What? What happened?" Tori's sudden movement made Ami jump.

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

Tori had noticed Ami jump and smiled apologetically at her. "Sorry." She sighed and shook her head, attempting to make the image go away.

"I... I was strapped to some sort of examination table and I couldn't move, no matter how hard I tried." She explained.

Tori's words brought back a flood of images. Restraints... bright lights... scalpels... some sort of weird clicking implement... odd noises... a smell of decaying flesh...

Ami screamed.

Tori didn't know what had happened when Ami screamed, but she looked absolutely terrified.

"Ami! Ami, it's okay, you're safe." She hoped her words were reassuring and calmed Ami down, Tori didn't know what she was seeing. Whatever it was, it was terrifying.

[OOC: Be right back, going to do some laundry.]

Ami's eyes were wide with fear, but she did register that it was Tori speaking to her. "A a a" she stuttered as she collected her self. "Um. Sorry about that."

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

"You don't have to apologize. You didn't do anything wrong." Tori managed a small smile. "What happened?"

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

"You mentioned um... restraints... and well, i got some images... I think from Monday." Ami shuddered.

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

Tori grimaced. "I didn't mean for that to happen to you." She knew it wasn't her fault, but she still felt bad.

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

"It's ok, i know... I just saw all these medical implements..."

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

"It's scary, I know." Tori offered her a small smile. She wondered what else they'd see before the week's end.

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

Ami didn't want to think about what they would see, but ti was probably important. "It is... but we probably need to remember as much as we can..."

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

"To figure all of this out, yes." Tori admitted.

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

"I think maybe we should start writing thigns down?"

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

"That is a great idea, Ami." Tori remarked. "Then maybe seeing things on paper will help us make sense of it all."

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

"That is what i was thinking yes." Ami said. Slowly getting up, as the effort was great, she walked over to the table and got a notebook and pencil.

"So, we have you, Billy, Lana and myself. Anyone else?"

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

"Not that I know of, but there could be more like Liz and John, which Tori is finding out now [aka tomorrow], while visiting Lana at the clinic." Tori hated to admit it but it was highly possible.

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

"Alright, I will leave space then" Ami said, doing so. "And our symptoms include... time dilation, missing memories, physically being not on the island for a day, dehydration, lacerations of various types... what else?"

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

"I think you've got it all." Tori couldn't think of anything else at the moment. "Well, I don't know if it's a symptom but... random image flashes."

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

Ami wrote that down. "Actually, you also said scalpels, so that is something in common. And restraints. Um." She was really not very happy discussing this but it was necessary.

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

"Yeah." Tori nodded, wincing at those words and the images that went along with them.

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

Ami sighed. "This is giving me a headache." she put the notebook down. "Lets just watch these Vikings invade Britain instead?"
