005 - Angels in my head (Phone + Action)

[worstvikingever]

[After encountering the angels that morning, Hiccup had been feeling strangely all day.

His eyes hurt. They stung. There was something in them and he couldn't get it out. All day at school he was rubbing his eyes, and then... on his way home... he could swear he was hearing things. People.

Then when he got home, he put his hand on the doorknob and couldn't take it away. He stared at it.

His hand was stone.

It was stone.

Shutting his eyes tightly he shook his head. No, he told himself. That's stupid. My hand's fine. It's okay. Just open the door.

When he opened his eyes again, his hands were fine.]

[PHONE:] So uh... weird statues, right?

Um.

Is anyone else... seeing things?



[ACTION, 729 Anderson Lane:] [Hiccup is sitting on the couch, rubbing his eyes.

He can't stop rubbing his eyes.

It hurts. It hurts so much.]

They're... they're laughing at me

[watch out he's getting close to hysterics again]

"Ok, is there a doctor you trust nearby?"

((Sorry about the deleted post, just it seemed to link oddly))

[worstvikingever]

I don't... I don't know...



((no problem. :) ))

"Would screaming 'Is there a doctor in the house?!' as loudly as you can make you feel better?"

[worstvikingever]

maybe a little

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"Then give it a try. I don't think anyone would judge you for it."

[worstvikingever]

[There's a moment when he's just taking deep breaths, whispering "okay" to himself, then he puts the phone against his chest so that his shout (which is bordering on a hysterical shriek) is slightly muffled.]

IS THERE A DOCTOR IN THE HOUSE?

[Ruri waits, and she'll keep waiting and listening.]

[worstvikingever]

[After a moment he puts the phone back to his ear and is almost too calm.]

There isn't.

"Can you ignore the voice in your head?"

[worstvikingever]

[The paranoia creeps back into his voice.]

No. It... doesn't like to be ignored.

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"I didn't ask about the voice. I asked about you. Are you strong enough to ignore the voice?"

[worstvikingever]

I don't...

maybe?

probably not

"I'll make a deal with you then. I have a vacuum cleaner downstairs. If you can keep you eyes closed till someone comes home who can better help you, its yours to take apart."

[worstvikingever]

[You know he's got to be in a bad state when the promise of a vacuum cleaner isn't the best thing he's ever heard. But it does perk him up slightly.]

R-really?

I...

...I'll try.

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"Also, keep this in mind. The voice in your head doesn't want you to do it, right? But the voice in your head also doesn't sound very nice, so why should you listen to it?"

[worstvikingever]

n-no it's not...

[deep breaths]

okay

th-thank you.

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"Remember... Eyes closed... Vacuum cleaner. I'm going to go get it. My name is Ruri, when you get help call me back."

[worstvikingever]

okay
