Next was her, just simple conversation between Cameron and Jackson, a goodbye to both of them, and a jump off a pillar of ice she made. She jolted awake, and looked around. Seculus wasn't there. Oh /Shit/ Seculus wasn't there!

He whimpered, shuddering as if his system were being purged of something. For a few seconds, I heard them in my own head. [What's he doing, wait, stop, I don't want to go, I don't want to stop existing...! Sharon, Eillie, help, help-] {Oh, thank goodness....it's alright, Jack, this is scary, but it's for the best.} |Great, and I never even got to make Ivory like me again. What kind of impression is this to go out on? And I was just expressing my beliefs, too.| . You shut up already. He's going to fall apart without me, I tell you. . He wasn't kidding. They were /loud/. There's no one alive who wouldn't be pushed to the brink by all that. It's a surprise he lasted as long as he did, and that's something.

Ivory quickly sat up, and moved out of Seculus's bedroom. Where was he where was-Oh. Wait. /Oh!/ Well. She /fucking/ told him so.

🌀

The voices went quiet. The last few sparks buzzed around his head, maybe fixing the little things, and then went out. Seculus pulled his head out of my hands slowly and looked down at his own, which, for the first time in months, were steady. I stared too. I did it? ....I actually did it. It's a surprise every single time.

.....it's.....quiet. I mean, I can hear these two, of course, but they're not....arguing, or commenting, or....it's just me. Just. Me.

He started to cry from joy.

Ivory moved towards them and placed a hand on his back.

2016-01-11 07:17:11

🌀

He turned and hugged her tightly. I rubbed my hands together to get rid of the remaining staticky sensation and smiled a little. He finally doesn't have to deal with that.

2016-01-11 07:24:05

She returned the hug and grinned. "Told you he could do it." She sounded less like she was gloating and more like she was proud of the two of them.

2016-01-11 07:25:41

🌀

....heh. "It wasn't exactly /that/ definite." "......they're all gone, I don't....feel like I'm going to burst out laughing, or crying, and Jack's not threatening to put Pluto in the microwave, everything's just....quiet...."

2016-01-11 07:32:16

●

"Yes it was. The microwave?"

2016-01-11 07:32:55

🌀

".....he likes microwaves a lot."

2016-01-11 07:34:42

●

"...Not questioning it, back to hugging." She rested her chin on his chest.

2016-01-11 07:36:37

🌀

"Well....'liked'.....anyways." I reached out and pulled Madison into the hug too. ...he deserved it.

2016-01-11 07:39:11

●

She wrapped an arm around him as well. See? She said things would be okay. They were okay now.

2016-01-11 07:40:53

🌀

"I don't seem to recall you saying that very often," I mumbled.

2016-01-11 07:43:35

●

"I did. A lot." She spoke without even hesitating. Oh, he can read her mind too? That's all fine and dandy. She literally didn't even care about that. Sarcasm not even needed in this.

2016-01-11 07:46:47

🌀

"I can--/what/?" "Oh? I suppose you had all the prerequisites....welcome to the club?"

2016-01-11 08:05:09

●

"I'm still somehow not in this club."

2016-01-11 08:06:54

🌀

"Wait, what club? The 'read Ivory's mind' club?" "You know your own thoughts, it's not necessary. In fact, you're president."

2016-01-11 08:09:08

●

"But I can only read Ren and Lance's thoughts. It's not fair!"

2016-01-11 08:09:46

🌀

"If you want I could voice every thought that flashes through my mind for you." "...I don't think /any/ of us want that, thank you."

2016-01-11 08:11:46

●

"Please don't." The last thing she needed to know is what someone wants for lunch three days from now.

2016-01-11 08:12:57

🌀

"You said you wanted to read our thoughts, this is the best you're getting."

2016-01-11 08:16:02

●

"I'm fine with this."

2016-01-11 08:16:44

🌀

"Which 'this'?"

2016-01-11 08:18:30

●

"Not being able to hear either of your thoughts. If I needed to know something, I trust you both that you'd tell me yourself."
