Week 5

[grimgrinningghosts]

[...So that was a mess. All of it was a mess, and things don't look to be improving any time soon. With tensions at an all-time high and conditions worsened, it seems pretty safe to say that this whole week promises a great deal of foreboding atmosphere.

But, hey, things aren't entirely bad. Just as Randall promised, you're now able to leave the Manor! 

Just don't stay out there for too long. There's still a lot of you, and you just can't afford to lose numbers.

Yeah, they're... They're not half as bad as the ones outside? But, it's not fun.

["fredster how could you dump me for an auradonian?! I thought we were for reals!"]

If I didn't have close to a decade of experience... Ah, never mind. You need help with anything? I kinda owe you in a really big way.

[pinkflip]

[ freddie, she worries about you ]

Oh, I just did what any friend would. [ but. uh. ] ...You...have any advice for dodging pretty traumatizing nightmares?

[faciliheir]

Well, if it doesn't push you into full-on freakout mode and you still have your head about you, you can just use reason with it. Don't even make it a matter of "Oh, it's not really there," 'cause your brain clearly doesn't care about that part. Argue with it. Tell it off. It doesn't affect it, but it makes you feel better about it.

[pinkflip]

Yeeah, I tried that and they just kind of...kept coming.

[ holds up the bottle. it's of sleeping pills! ]

I was hoping these could help?

[faciliheir]

[. . .]

Are you planning on just... sleeping 'til somebody dies?

[pinkflip]

N-no! Gosh, no, I just- thought maybe it could help me get some sleep in general? I can't really chase away the...images.

[faciliheir]

Gory stuff? [no fair she's not getting anything fun she's just getting emotional problems.] Well, those oughta help, but you'll be careful with them, right? They're pretty serious stuff.

[pinkflip]

[ she's sadly getting a two-for-one deal ] I mean, of course. I was kind of hoping they'd be a last resort. Just, you know, one I have on hand.

[faciliheir]

Well, they aren't invading our bedrooms yet, right? [which is good bc she might have to like. close the drawer or something if that happened.] Just staying in there by yourself for a little while ought to be enough for you to come off a freakout.

[pinkflip]

Yeah. [ but she doesn't sound too sure ] I just...wish I could make them go away, you know? They weren't even- I mean- most of them weren't even things that happened.
