[002] I had visions, I was in them, I was looking into the MIRROR

What the fuck just happened. Somebody tell me that kind of shit's normal around here, because if it's not I'm gonna have to ask what the hell kind of protocol you have for a crash in fucking SPACE.

[ooc: Richie is unaffected. Mirror!Richie is a bundle of insecurities and repentant puppy!eyes and anal-retentively clutched self-control - he's convinced if he tries this whole behaving and being Good thing hard enough for long enough his brother will come get him - sooo consequently it will quickly become fairly obvious to anyone who's spent any amount of time with him thus far in the Mirror!Verse that yeeeeah he's SUDDENLY GOTTEN "BETTER". Or at least gotten a hell of a lot closer to it. *gasp*]

[Richie was wandering about as is his wont, very much enjoying this new development now that he'd gotten kind of an idea of what was going on. At the dancing blonde, however, he stopped in his tracks to watch for a bit, partly because whut is she doing and partly because, well. Dancing blonde.]

Different how? I'm exactly the fucking same as I was yesterday.

[Maybe if he says it enough times people will stop telling him otherwise.]

[Rather than look upset about that threat, Will looks very pleased. Whatever this flood was, it was for the best.]

I don't know what you're talking about. But it doesn't matter. If you're hallucinating on account of being off the meds, fine. Small price to pay. What I do know is you're talking sense, finally.

[He lowered the gun and holstered it.]

Listen, yesterday? You wouldn't have been running your mouth about the shaking and you sure as hell wouldn't have been swearing while doing it. You would have kept yourself out of the wardens' way.

[Sigh. Fine, he'll drop it.]

It's a flood. It'll pass. Just try not to get killed before it does. [...] And try not to graduate in the next couple days, huh?

...Wait wait wait. Hang on just a minute. What meds? I'm not on any meds. Why would I be on meds? I don't fucking hallucinate.

[...No, he just sees things nobody else happens to. TOTALLY DIFFERENT. Have a suspicious look, Will. Richie does not like your implications at ALL.]

[Everybody here has lost their minds. Clearly. ...That or he just remembered things differently again. Alas, there's nobody to correct one way or the other for sure, sooo he's just going to go with everybody else is nuts. Obviously this is the better option.]

Why not? Can't see how it would be any fucking worse than not graduating.

You were on the meds. Before you came here. They were messing you up too bad before you came here. [A casual shrug.] So I took you off them.

[He starts to reach into his pocket, then stops. A narrowed eyes look.] You don't remember any of that? [There's a few seconds consideration.] What's the last thing you recall you and I doing?

[Well that's...in no way right. Have more suspicious looks, coupled with some wariness for good measure; he's fairly sure he's right here, but if Will keeps at it emphatically enough he might start to doubt a little.]

Having a talk? Since that seems to be your favorite fucking hobby. Don't ask me what the hell it was about because I wasn't actually listening. Why?

[Disrespect: Will may have ALL of it]

Lemme put it this way. The dude double-taps me, I Death Toll, and he pops his head into the Infirmary and actually manages to explain his reasons in a way I couldn't really argue with. Weirdest fucking conversation of my life.

It's worth asking about. Giving you a sidearm's a lot more convenient than having to raise you from the dead every coupla days.

...Well from what I can tell that sounds pretty much like him aside from the fucking killing people part. Seemed like a pacifist last time I talked to him.

He got a regular problem with that?

[Claire caught sight of Richie and smirked, ceasing her song, for now.] Well, if it isn't the rapist turned prude himself. How is that working out for you, anyway, Richie? Still not bedding anyone?

[Blink. Blink. And yes, he's acting harmless at the moment, although he's actually looking at her and not being particularly subtle about it because subtlety is clearly for squares and people with patience.]

Um. What?

[Confusion; he didn't know she knew about his rap sheet.]

[She may or may not have read that her Barge had apparently merged with some other one, but she won't jump to that conclusion yet, that this here guy isn't the Inmate she's come to know.

Hands on her hips, Claire gave him a look, stepping forwards once.]

As I recall, someone tried to seduce you quite recently, but you have no part in such affairs.

Edited 2011-08-20 01:17 (UTC)

Trust me, man. Just-- you'd regret it in a few days. You really would.

[He licked his lips, half out of uncertainty, half in anticipation, and gave her a small smile.]

Oh yeah? Who, uh. Who tried?

[He tried to sound all nonchalant about it, but it didn't quite hide the eager edge.]

Why? You can't just say not to do something and then not explain it!

[Not that he plans on changing, wherever that takes him. But he'd like to know why anyway]

[She dropped her head back and sighed.]

You're not my Richie, are you? Does that truly mean there is another me popping about? That this is an alternate version of the Barge?

I'm not the pussy version everybody seems to be expecting, yeah.

[Pause]

...Why, is that bad?

[He wasn't missing out on anything because he wasn't that one, right? Now he was a little worried.]

Either I'm on the alternate or you are, fuck if I know. All I know's practically everybody's acting like we're stuck in the fucking Twilight Zone.

All Wardens have a regular problem with that unless we Inmates learn to protect ourselves.

[Have a laugh; it just seems ridiculous given everything he thought he knew]

That's funny. This whole fucking thing is.

No, you most certainly are not, with a mouth like that.

[She snickered, looking at him curiously. He was the first alternative version of someone else she had met.]

It is madness, yes? Certainly cannot be easy for those expecting someone else, especially when a relationship has already been established between the previous two. Are you familiar with my other half, for lack of a better description?

[Nod nod]

Oh yeah, she showed me around when I first got here. Kind of a tease, although, you know. She says she isn't.

[He gave a shrug, as if to say "girls; what are you gonna do?" Because CLEARLY this status of hers has nothing to do with anything on his end. ]

A tease? Why, I never. Poor, baby. I feel for you, truly. I would like to extend an apology on my lesser's behalf. Course, if we're stuck here permanently, it may no longer be of issue.

[...Don't say things like that, Mirror!Claire. You give him Ideas when you say things like that because he can't help but read too much into it.]

...Really? 'Cause I mean. If you're just gonna go doing the same thing where you say one thing and then just take it back later...

[...Not that it will stop him. But, you know. It's annoying. And she looks the same.]

Trust me, dear Richard, I do not waste my breath and I mean what I say. Were I not already engaged, I would even considering showing you just how serious I can be. But, alas, Viserys is already on a rampage since Snape and Molly attacked him. We wouldn't want his wroth extended in your direction, now would we?
