Date: 2006-01-15 12:33 am (UTC)He fully expected to get snotted at- snotting being two steps nastier than snarking- but he was still in a very good mood from some days back, so he felt pretty sure he was ready for that.
no subject
Date: 2006-01-15 12:39 am (UTC)Some things about him hadn't changed, and never would, and one of them was his burning desire to see outer space.
no subject
Date: 2006-01-15 12:43 am (UTC)He settled back into his chair and pulled out his own book, which was a small volume on qigong practice. Not that he was goign to get very wrapped up in it, but it was at least something other than staring.
no subject
Date: 2006-01-15 12:49 am (UTC)"LET ME OUT!"
no subject
Date: 2006-01-15 12:52 am (UTC)It was going to be one of those shifts.

Date: 2006-01-15 01:04 am (UTC)"Temper tantrums aren't going to help, you know," he said when he thought Danny might be able to hear him again.
no subject
Date: 2006-01-15 01:11 am (UTC)"You're just--you're just like Dash, just locking me away, stuffing me in my locker--" he said furiously, gesticulating wildly with his hands.
no subject
Date: 2006-01-15 01:18 am (UTC)Not to mention that the second this is over, I owe you the world's biggest apology.
no subject
Date: 2006-01-15 01:29 am (UTC)The funny thing was, he probably wasn't lying this time. A long prison stay gets you thinking about things.

Date: 2006-01-15 02:01 am (UTC)He stopped, wincing, but the damage was probably already done.

Date: 2006-01-15 02:15 am (UTC)Pause.
"... that sounded better before I actually said it out loud."
no subject
Date: 2006-01-15 02:36 am (UTC)It was then that he had the uncontrollable subconscious urge to punch yourself in the face!
"OW!"
no subject
Date: 2006-01-15 02:37 am (UTC)"What the heck was that for?" Ray wondered aloud.
no subject
Date: 2006-01-15 02:42 am (UTC)"Nothing. I...I must've twitched or something. Because I'm being cramped all the time because of you." He shook it off. "Anyway, like I said, I'll probably enjoy it, tearing them from--"
There was another tic of his subconscious, this time to fly headfirst into the field, you jerk! making him bounce off onto the floor, painfully.
no subject
Date: 2006-01-15 02:48 am (UTC)Blink. Blink.
"O-ho," he said, almost gleefully. "Iiiiiii know something youuuuuu don't know...."
no subject
Date: 2006-01-15 02:55 am (UTC)Make me!
He shot sideways into the field, slamming his side and shoulders against it then dropped again.
"What are you doing to me?" he demanded of Ray.

Date: 2006-01-15 03:31 am (UTC)And the thing was, even though he couldn't understand why...he felt like he deserved it.
As he sat up, he blurted out, weakly, "I won't ever hurt them!"
Then he knew what had been causing him to hurt himself, and looked even more furious--and maybe a bit scared.
no subject
Date: 2006-01-15 03:34 am (UTC)All things considered this was probably not the best response to the situation. The fury was, after all, the stronger of the visible emotions. But Ray, for all that he was a genius, was the heart and not the brain of the team- and that guided his actions, more often than not, regardless of the possible consequences.
no subject
Date: 2006-01-15 05:18 am (UTC)He was holding his head now, and looking confused and pained, as if he had a splitting headache. "This isn't supposed to be happening! I'm not supposed to feel this way!"
He felt...guilty. He was horrible. He was horrible and ashamed of himself, and no, no, this couldn't be happening, he felt hatred, and anger, and underneath all of it, hurt...
And...
And who was he?
Was he a hero?
Was he a freak?
Was he a monster?
Was he something else entirely? Was he some hideous amalgam of them all?
"STOP IT!" And then he was wailing again, with enough force that the generators nearly overloaded and failed, like before. However, Egon's upgrades and Harper's tweaks just managed to prevent that from happening--but only just.
no subject
Date: 2006-01-15 05:23 am (UTC)Reflexively, Ray pillbugged, pulling into a ball that any child of the Fifties would recognize as the instinctive form of 'duck and cover'. He peeked out and over in Danny's direction when the wail stopped.
If Danny's friends didn't turn up soon, he was going to have to get Eddie to open the door to Amity Park after all.
no subject
Date: 2006-01-15 05:32 am (UTC)You can't live without me either.
Then we'll just have to see who comes out on top.
It didn't matter which part of Danny's psyche was saying which, really. After his tantrum and mental, he was left in a kneeling position, swaying slightly. He fell over on his face and curled up in a ball, holding his head, very still.
no subject
Date: 2006-01-15 05:34 am (UTC)"I'm sorry, Danny," he repeated; and then, because it really seemed like the closest he would ever get again to anything safe, he went back to his folding chair and sat down with his own book.
It was gonna be a long night.
