Noise.

It starts as just irritation. A metaphorical crawling under your skin. Things are too noisy, too bright, there is too much happening all the time and you can't take it all in-

Then silence it, make it yours, make it you, take control and destroy what will not submit

It sounds so inviting, a freedom from the noise, but its wrong, its wrong, its wrong and the noise is getting louder, mechanical and foreboding as it sees you, it knows you are there, and it wants to make you apart of it.

For a moment, there is quiet.

You breathe.

And fall through water.

Oh, totally, if he had the tools. According to dad, he made a microwave time travel once.

I'll figure out how to recreate that one day! No more mystic near death experiences for time magic!

[Oh, more screens popping up and he's moving about more freely, bouncing between a few ideas.]

Oh gods, time travel. My least favorite kind of magic bullshit.

But shouldn't we be trying to find you something to eat, Donnie? Even if it's just made up food for the soul?

Re: The Lab

[othellovonryan]

[He waves a hand.]

That's made up food in the soul. I would just be eating myself. I'll eat when my body is awake for food. And this! This I can work on while asleep! Oh, I wonder if I ionize the radiation just so...

This is normal. Well, normal for Donnie. Shove a fruit in his hand and he'll munch it.

... suppose I should leave him to it, then, yeah? He doesn't need me snooping over his shoulder, so long as he's going to be fine, otherwise.

[she pauses.]

... you know, Leon, I'm gonna be real let down if the real you doesn't live up to the you that he believes in this much, in here.

Re: The Lab

[othellovonryan]

[He mouths 'Leon' with a brief look of confusion and then shrugs.] Puh-lease.

The me out there is much better.

He's fine though, yeah.

Re: The Lab

[allevilthings]

Then I'll leave you to handle things from here. I trust you.

[and she gives him a smile, and she's back out the door she came in from.]

[Leo just looks so happy to hear that and gives her a cheeky salute.]
