✪ petal one [accidental video]

[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!

[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?

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!

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

...Lily?

[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.

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.

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.

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

[identity profile] controlstheice.livejournal.com 2010-09-12 08:52 pm (UTC)(link)
You're not the only one. I haven't been here long enough myself.

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

You don't "wake up" here.

[identity profile] brothercumface.livejournal.com 2010-09-12 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)
You're stuck here. Welcome to hell.
