4th floor common room, Wednesday afternoon

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

It had been a hard couple of weeks but Blair decided that it was time to start moving on. He had meditated and decided that the first step didn't need to be a step...it needed to be a bounce.

So Blair was sitting on the floor of the common room, studying a history book and bouncing happily. Things felt better already.

Ami decided to camp out in the common room again. She came in and sat down on the ouch, with a blanket wrapped around her and a big bottle of water with her. "Hi" she said, to the kid she didn't think she recognized.

[ooc:ami looks bruised and beaten up and wicked tired and has bandages in several visible places]

"Hey..." Blair's greeting trailed off as he took in Ami's appearance. "Are you okay?"

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

"I am fine... now. Just don't want to be in my room... Have we met? My mind is not exactly at it's best right now, and well, my memory is especially bad." She extended her hand in greeting "I am Ami."

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"Nice to meet you, Ami." Blair shook her hand gingerly, not wanting to hurt her. "I'm Blair Sandburg."

"What happened, if you don't mind me asking?"

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

"Hi Blair. It is nice to meet you as well." She held her blanket a bit tighter around herself. "As to your other question... I am not sure. There are several of us who have similar symptoms, but none of us remember clearly what happened."

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

Blair raised an eyebrow. "Symptoms? Those usually mean itchy spots and fevers. This looks like you got beaten up."

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

"WE might have?" Ami said shrugging a little. "We all ended up very dehydrated, and gone for a day, and thinking a week passed, and banged up and cut up and needing to spend time in the clinic..." she paused for breath. She just wished she had more to add to the story "And none of us remember anything except restraints and knives. And bright lights."

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"Sounds like..." Blair shrugged not wanting to muck up your plot. "Well, I'm not sure what it sounds like. Nothing fun."

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

no, please totally do it!"No... nothing fun..."

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

Blair paused for a minute, looking at the TV. "It sounds like something out of Z Cases."

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

"What is that?" Ami asked, now much more alert. If he could tell her anything that would help...

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"It's a show about these FBI agents who are working for The Man and against The Man at the same time." Blair grinned, totally happy about that part of the show. "But the important part to you is they talk about alien abductions all the time. People getting snatched up and probed under bright lights and then having little alien bab-"

Blair stopped, realizing that he was being a little insensitive. "But that's TV and not real life."

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

Ami's mouth formed a little 'o' as she processed what Blair was saying. "I see... I have never seen this show..." She could now see what Annette was talking about earlier.

"I just wish i could remember what happened... Do you know anyone who can do magic or hypnosis or something like that? If i just knew... it would be easier..."

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"I'm sure that's not what happened to you." Blair said quickly. "I was just babbling. I mean, come on, there are aliens here at school and they never abduct people."

"Um...I don't know about magic. But I could probably help you with the remembering thing." Blair said. "I can guide you to a meditative state and see if you can recall anything about what happened."

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

Ami hadn't honestly thought about the aliens here at school... Including her roommate. This was not a happy thought at all.

Bat all that evaporated from her mind when she heard that Blair might be able to help. "Really? That works?" She hadn't thought of meditation, never being any good at it.

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"I've gotten pretty good at it." Blair said quietly. "I can't make any promises, but it's not going to hurt anything if you try and it doesn't work."

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

Ami's whole demeanor changed, there was some hope, another straw to clutch at. A grin spread across her face. "And you could do this? Really? Tonight?" Tori would want to do this as well...

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"Tonight? Sure." Blair smiled. "Not here, of course. It'd work better in a quiet room."

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

"Okay... we could use my room, i am in 408. I think Tori would also want to do this... she and i were discussing finding ways to remember what happened..." Ami nodded as she spoke, a bit of a bounce creeping in. Blair's bouncing was contagious.

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"The more the merrier." Blair grinned and gave a bounce. "Just let me know handwavy when you're ready and I'll be there."

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

"Will do. I gotta go call Tori!" She sounded more excited and happy then she had this whole week. "Thank you SO much!"

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"You're welcome!" Blair laughed. "It's really not a big deal, I'm glad to try and help."

Walking was helping with the being awake. Walking and the pumpkinbread he'd handwavily bought at JGOB earlier. And the caffeine he'd ingested in the lobby.

He thought the TV might help calm him. And look, here were people. People were good. Safety in numbers right?

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Tasty pumpkin bread?" Billy offered.

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"Hi Ninja!" Blair said with a wave and a bounce.
