There's nothing I can do. We escaped, but it's too late for everything else.

[there's a long pause- for awhile, it seems that this is all he's going to say]

I think...the shop's going to be closed for awhile.

Does anyone know how to deal with shock?

[ooc: A few hours after this. Replies may be a little slow at first, but I wanted to get this up. ;) ]

Gabriel, what's wrong?

...Anthony?

Yeah... I suppose this will take some getting used to. But despite the additional years on my shoulders, I'm still me.

Tell me what's wrong...

We were stuck in a trap. The damage is done, and once again someone was hurt because they were trying to help me.

What are you talking about? Who got hurt?

[valentineluke.livejournal.com]

Speaking from experience, any of the following three will yield favorable results: slap to the face, cold shower, whiskey shot.

Emma Pillsbury. My therapist.

We were in a death trap, because of everything I'd done. I had to cut her throat to save her.

Oh God, is she alright?

[makes-you-tick.livejournal.com]

Ah. Maybe the second, then. Thank you.

private//unhackable

[makes-you-tick.livejournal.com]

No. And I don't know if she will be.

Understandably, she didn't want me to stick around.

You want me to come over?

private//unhackable

[makes-you-tick.livejournal.com]

I don't know if that's a good idea. What if I get hit with this again?

The City put me in a freezer once. I woke up naked and tied up. Got sprayed with water every five minutes. Dying isn't the most pleasant experience. But I'm still here...

So if you want me to come over just say so. I may no longer be the naive twenty year old, but I'm still your friend.

Gee, you leave a place alone for seven years and everything falls apart in your absence.

What happened to you?

[A long pause after the connection clicks on.]

What kind of shock?

private//unhackable

[makes-you-tick.livejournal.com]

Why does the City do things like that to people like you?

You're from the future, right? So I haven't-

Sure. I'd like it if you came by.

[makes-you-tick.livejournal.com]

Death trap.

...acute stress response.

People like me? City clearly believes in equality, it curses everybody...

You haven't. You'd never. You shouldn't need me to tell you that.

I'll be right over.

[ooc: it's late. I should be up for anothewr half an hour, but if I suddenly disappear means I fell asleep and will tag back in the morning.]

You don't sound like you're on the verge of a panic attack.

private//unhackable

[makes-you-tick.livejournal.com]

But not like that. It shouldn't.

I've done a lot of things I thought I'd never do.

...okay.

[ooc: Get some sleep! And we can play more tomorrow? :3 I know it's late for you. <3 ]

It's not me. It's Emma Pillsbury. We were cursed together earlier today.

Is there any way you could check on her? Or have someone check on her? Please?

private//unhackable 1/2

[coffeenspeed.livejournal.com]

I know, Gabriel. And it really sucks that curses like that happen, but... There's nothing we can do bout it.

Well I trust you.

[ooc: I'm going! I'm going! few more tags and I"m off :P]

[There's a knock on your door, Gabriel. When Anthony said he'll be right over he meant he droped everything and started towards your place before you said it was okay for him to come over...]

Hey, it's me.

[he realizes he might sound different, so he introduces himself]

It's Anthony.
