✪ petal one [accidental video]

[stillpursued.livejournal.com]

[Have a Lily Evans, seated on the edge of her bed, staring blankly at the wall. Her mouth opens and closes every so often, as if she's talking to herself, but there's no sound. Perhaps she's just whispering, or not talking at all. Regardless, she's noticeably confused, and who could blame her? She doesn't know where she is, or why she's here-- the last thing she remembers is drinking a glass of pumpkin juice at breakfast and heading off to Charms. But she doesn't remember getting to Charms, and that's what's terrifying. Was she kidnapped? Drugged? Is this just one long, vivid, hallucination-slash-dream that she can't shake herself out of?]

I wish I could wake up.

[She rubs her arm absent-mindedly before turning to pull her (surprisingly heavy) knapsack onto her lap. Outfitted with an expansion charm, it's got more than she remembered tucked inside. Lily pulls out a worn-looking scarlet jumper and tucks it to her chest. Nope, you can't know what it says... at least not yet.]

[James stares. He pushes up his glasses to rub his eyes in disbelief]

[Could it be...?]

[Or is it the Manor playing tricks on him?]

Is that really...

[It's -gotta- be her, right?!]

Evans! You're-you're here!

[The voice startles her, seemingly coming out of nowhere, and she looks around the room with no luck. Where is it coming from? So she stands up, looks under the bed and behind the furniture and even opens the door-- only to close it again because there are way too many doors out there and it's just a little too weird for her. But when she comes to sit down again, she notices a little purple square on her pillow that's all lit up. And there's a screen on it, and keys, and... and that's definitely James Potter's annoyingly charming face grinning back at her. She rolls her eyes.]

You would follow me into my hallucinations, Potter. Care to explain what was in my drink?

[its-notbragging.livejournal.com]

[He would. But, unfortunately for her, that's not the case right now. His smile doesn't flicker]

I would follow you beyond your hallucinations, you know that! I would follow you anywhe–

...hang on, are you admitting that you've had hallucinations of me? Perhaps dreams? Perhaps in which I sweep you off your feet, charm you, and show you the time of your life?

[stillpursued.livejournal.com]

I am saying nothing of the sort! I would not dream or hallucinate of you willingly. Ever. [She exhales angrily, her grip on the tiny little square tightening since she can't exactly wring his neck.]

If you won't tell me what was in my drink, at least tell me where I am. And what this... thing is.

[its-notbragging.livejournal.com]

It's not unwillingly, it's subconsciously.

[James taps the side of his head]

You want me, you just don't realize it yet.

[James blinks in confusion as she asks him about her drink]

Your drink? I dunno what you're talking about! And I'm offended by what you're implying!

[jadedserpent.livejournal.com]

[That voice...it's very familiar. But why would she be here?]

...Lily?

[stillpursued.livejournal.com]

[Thanks to James, she kind of has an idea of how this ...thing works. But she's confused as to why all these people she knows are here.]

Severus, where am I? I'm ninety-nine percent convinced this is all some stupid prank. Someone must have spiked the pumpkin juice this morning.

[jadedserpent.livejournal.com]

[He's massively relieved that she's at least talking to him.]

It's a mansion, somewhere. I don't know where it is or how we got here, but there's lots of people here, and they're all from different places. None of it makes sense.

[stillpursued.livejournal.com]

What do you mean, from different places? From different schools?

Do you think this is something to do with... well. should we be trying to get in contact with Dumbledore?

[At this point her options are him and James. It's not too difficult to figure out who might be more useful in a potentially Dark situation.]

[jadedserpent.livejournal.com]

Different worlds. There's people here from England's past. There are others who can do magic without wands.

I don't think Dumbledore can help us. We're stuck here. There's no way out.

[Oh, hey, another chick. They've been getting a lot of dudes lately.]

Uh. Hey. Hate to say it, but you've been kidnapped. But it's not quite as bad as it sounds. Well, kinda. We have a welcome packet here (http://hell-is-silent.livejournal.com/1457.html) that covers the basics.

[stillpursued.livejournal.com]

What do you mean, kidnapped? Who would do that? And-- [She cuts herself off, taking a breath. It won't really do her any good to flip out just yet.]

Thank you. I'll.. just have a look at that.

[hell-is-silent.livejournal.com]

No problem. A few of us put it together hoping it would help. It's pretty wild, I'm not gonna lie, but... it's just kinda what happens.

I'm Heather, by the way.

[controlstheice.livejournal.com]

I wish I could wake up to and not be here, but shamefully it's not a dream I'm afraid.

[stillpursued.livejournal.com]

I am still having a hard time understanding where I even am.

[controlstheice.livejournal.com]

You're not the only one. I haven't been here long enough myself.

[stillpursued.livejournal.com]

It doesn't seem as though this place is particularly happy.

[controlstheice.livejournal.com]

I don't fully understand why people aren't particularly happy.

You don't "wake up" here.

[stillpursued.livejournal.com]

I am slowly reaching that conclusion.

[brothercumface.livejournal.com]

You're stuck here. Welcome to hell.

[stillpursued.livejournal.com]

It is my intention to at least make something of my stay here. Even if it is... less than desired. [Permanently positive. Huh.]
