day 2

[x_cable]

still sucks. people are like 2-d cutouts when you can't sense their thoughts. hollow people.

and everything looks FLAT. hah. shift key, i have bested you. flat and dull and not moving inside. i don't know how you put up with it. i want to throw something at the wall just to see it move.

ray looked at me and started howling. i don't think my mind feels right to her.

Or maybe it's because you're grumpy. I'll come over and play with Rachel.

It's got to be awful for you. I can't imagine what it would be like to suddenly go deaf.

You sure? I'm still on West Coast time so it's not a big deal.

I, on the other hand, know pretty much exactly what that feels like. When you look at things around you and they're there but they don't make sense like they used to?

Here's to getting better soon, Mr. D. I fixed your stick. Again.

Shattered like... well, like glass. Someone's eventually going to have to tell me how you managed to push multiple psionic frequencies through a tool only meant to amplify one. It's a lens, not a prism, dammit.

um. i don't remember. but i did it before. few times before actually. psimitar never blew up before...

i suppose that was probably a lot of psionic energy though.

I am going to have to plaster this thing with warning labels and sit you down with a book on How To Safely Use Your Own Brain.

Nothing is right. You're just stuck in this flat, colorless, motionless world. Like being dead or kept under glass.

On the other hand, at least it's normal.

Speaking of other hands, Nate, I can type capital letters and you can't. Ha Ha!

nothing has any layers anymore. that's just it. everything's like paper.

my eyes are still playing tricks on me. i try to hit the shift key and hit other things. easier not to.

Add another one to the 'know how it feels' group. Took me a couple of months to get used to the feeling I was missing something important. Like a leg.

Mind you, when it came back I was wishing it hadn't. Talk about headaches.

Hang in there, Nate. To quote Rom, this too will pass.

today i'm trying to find the bright side. it's funny with no pressure against my shields. everything feels very open and light. a little creepy, but kind of relaxing.

Hey,

You want some company? I've been told I can be all soothing. (Which is probably just the powers but hey, whatever helps.)

Done and done then. I shall come down and bother you forthwith. Or should that be 'anon'? I never could get a hang of Olde Pretentious English speech.
