Why can't more shit that happens around here be like that? I mean, come on. Pirates, how is that not cool. I haven't had that much fun from the Admiral's shitty driving since Vegas. Just throw in Prohibition in Chicago and that's like...the trifecta.

The average person does not have to deal with noise in the head, for example. He is not distracted by every movement and conversation going on around him. The walls have never spoken to him. [He continues sketching placidly.]

It does. But such phenomena are controllable. I would not have gotten through medical school if that was not the case.

[He leans back, blinking rapidly and looking thoughtful.] Sometimes the voices are faint, in that very annoying conversation just out of range sort of way. Distracting. Irritating. It makes one nervous. One's blood pressure goes up, heart rate--it becomes impossible to not be tense. And the more the tension rises the worse the entire experience gets.

Other times the voices are very loud but still vague, which is perhaps the most maddening. But sometimes I can hear them quite clearly.

Actually...

[He taps his lips with his finger as he draws from his case studies.]

They can be very demanding. They often call upon me to do violence to others, or whisper false secrets about those people into my ear. Worst of all is when they imitate the person with me, and make it appear that that person is talking.

One of the things that I do to help myself cope is to verify. I check, I make certain that I heard correctly, and I make connections with others whom I know I can trust to help me if I should become confused.

[He doesn't seem to mind the Richiesprawl. In fact he sees it as a good sign.]

Unfortunately Will was one of those people. But I'll let you in on a little secret about him.

The reason that Will is so very good at connecting with people, at "getting" them, in the vernacular, is that he would almost literally feel what they felt. And he couldn't turn it off. The man walked around this place like that for as long as he could stand it. When he left, I have no doubt that it was because that peculiar sensitivity was overloaded past tolerance.

We all have our problems, Richie. But fortunately where Will's was not manageable, mine is.

That would be why I keep wanting to stab him.

Of course in my case I'd be stuck here anyway. I have more than my own life to earn back.

[A twitch. He glances at the wall.]

It was much worse before I got things under control. Much worse.

When things are at their worst they are the way I described before. When they are better, well...I have earned multiple degrees and accomplished much.

Mmm...well. I knew you could relate on the Richie issue, and the two are intertwined. You seem like a man who can keep a secret. Miss Lua trusts you. Why shouldn't I?

[spam] Holy crap brainfail. Sorry.

I understand that, Richie, but consider who you are talking to. They don't trust me, they don't trust you. But here we are having a perfectly civil conversation. Rather interesting, don't you think?

If you ever wish to unload regarding the whole Will mess, I now owe you a favor of that variety.

It's a Dark Night

hot air hangs like a dead man
from a white oak tree
people sitting on porches
thinking how things used to be
dark night
dark night

the neighborhood was changing
strangers moving in
a new boy fell for a local girl
when she made eyes at him

she was young and pretty
no stranger to other men
but doors were being locked at night
old lines were drawn again

I thought things like that
didn't matter anymore
I thought all the blood
had been shed long ago
