Nice to know I'm still capable of fucking up royally. Means I ain't turned into some kind of pod person, I s'pose.

Right now the only way I could feel worse is if a portal opened and dropped me into another demon dimension. The way my head feels, could possibly be an improvement.

Is Manuel all right?

You fit for visitors?

[xp_daytripper]

Quiet ones. Especially if they come bearing aspirin.

I'm in me room - docs agreed I'd rest better in me own bed.

[x-skin.livejournal.com]

Aspirin I can do. I'm on my way.

[xp_daytripper]

Ta, mate.

Manuel will survive

[x-empath.livejournal.com]

Albeit barely.

Manuel

PS - At least my command of English came back. Such as it is.

Good. That you're okay. Well, mostly.

I have come to a Decision

[x-empath.livejournal.com]

That was really, really dumb of us to try.

If it makes me feel this bad, I don't want to try it again for a good long while.

No arguments here. I don't think I can do anything for a while, any way.

[x-cable.livejournal.com]

Try??? You were trying to do that?

...

Why the fuck do I even bother talking??

[x-rogue.livejournal.com]

Ah, the age-old question. I've resigned myself to the idea that I just like to hear myself speak. Nathan, don't stress yourself or you'll get banned from the journals.

[x-cable.livejournal.com]

...not stressing. Really. Okay, a little, but she woke me up last night calling for help and I don't quite know how I managed to hear her, but the two of them were... I think I'm going to go read my book now.

[x-rogue.livejournal.com]

You do that, sweetie. It'll all be okay.

[xp_daytripper]

I do listen. I was trying to help someone, and something went wrong - I still ain't sure what. I made a fucking mistake, and believe me, I'm paying for it now.

*off to take more aspirin before her head explodes*

Well, no...

[x-empath.livejournal.com]

My power wanted it. From what Xavier tells me, this means that I did too, as my power so far tries to fulfill my desires.

I think I need to go talk to Xavier. Right _now_.

Manuel

[x-cable.livejournal.com]

Do that.

But I think you and I should talk too, Manuel. Much as the idea pains me.

All right...

[x-empath.livejournal.com]

We can talk. I'll even try not to upset you.

Manuel

[x-cable.livejournal.com]

Later, mind you. In a couple of days, when you're feeling better. There's just... there is a lot I can tell you about links, especially broken links. If you'll listen to me I might be able to tell you something helpful about how to cope... I did, for years.

She got the worst of it.

[x-empath.livejournal.com]

I've had a lot of juice and a lot of aspirin, and I feel better already.

Physically, at least.

I am willing to listen and try to learn, if you are willing to talk and teach.

I was trying a healing spell. Same one as the one I used on you. It ain't supposed to do what it did.

How stupid do you think I am? No, don't answer that.

Och...

[x-rahne.livejournal.com]

I was outdoors mostly yesterday afternoon and evening. What happened? And whether or not you'll be answering that, do you want me to try making some of your willowbark tea? I'd say I've got it from watching, unless there's something subtler you do.

Re: Och...

[xp_daytripper]

The tea's pretty simple, and there's instructions on the packet if you get stuck. No magic involved.

As for the other part... I'll explain later. I'm still trying to put the pieces back together in my very achey head. It was late last night, which is why no-one heard anything.

[x-cable.livejournal.com]

You and I. Conversation. Once your head stops pounding and my heart stays beating for at least twenty-four hours...

[x-cloud.livejournal.com]

I will be a very very quite roommate, I promise. Quiet as a spring cloud.

[xp_daytripper]

Thanks, Jane. Sorry to be a pest. I should be okay in a day or two - the magic makes me sick sometimes, especially when I do something wrong, but I'm used to it.
