[ She's worried, so there is no time for changing. Not that wandering around in her nightie (http://www.victoriassecret.com/sleepwear/sleepshirts-and-nighties/eyelet-trim-nightie?ProductID=66214&CatalogueType=OLS&un_jtt_v_lv5=) bothered her in the least. She'd been wearing much less the last time she'd been abducted.
After checking a lot of doors, she finally gets the right one. She knocks and calls through the door.] Max? Are you in there?
[action]
Date: 2012-09-23 02:46 am (UTC)The knock and the call at the door startled him. He hadn't turned on the lights. He didn't want to. But it made properly navigating to the door a bit more difficult, thick shades obscuring most of the sunlight from the singular window of his room, so that when he opened the door, he opened it into a very literal darkness. It took him a moment to blink, look at her, look at her- nightgown, and look at the floor.]
[He seems slightly unsure of what to say to her. Hi? Come in? Go away?] Er- [And he's off to a great start.] Hi? [A hand finds it's way to his forehead, as if trying to quell something inside his brain, but he gives her what could pass as a slight smile.]
[action]
Date: 2012-09-23 03:26 am (UTC)She eyed him worriedly, and nearly reached out to take hours hand, but she stopped herself. She didn't want to affect him with her powers more than she had to. Though she was still unaware of her amplified pull. She was attributing any stranger than usual reactions to having been in the same room as Aphrodite and Erato again. So she just smiled warmly back at him.]
Hi. How are you feeling?
[action]
Date: 2012-09-23 03:55 am (UTC)Fine. [One of his hands reaches for the other, his nails gently digging into the skin of his inner wrist.] Fine if wanting to crawl out of your skin is fine. [His voice is a little unsteady. He doesn't quite trust it. It just seems like it wants to crawl out of him, too. All those voices.]
[action]
Date: 2012-09-23 04:47 am (UTC)That is certainly not fine. This has never happened to you before?
[ She hated to ask that question but she had to, if only to rule out this being something normal.]
[action]
Date: 2012-09-23 05:17 am (UTC)Fuck. The combination of whatever the hell she was doing to him, and the demons clamoring to get out aren't making it easy for him to say words, much less anything coherent.]
-not this badly, no. [He can't particularly bring himself to slap her hands away or anything quite so drastic. But he considers it. They want out of his body and into hers, and she's just so close, and her hands are so soft, and she's just so- dreadfully pretty, it kind of stings.]
[action]
Date: 2012-09-23 05:51 am (UTC)So something sort of like this has happened before. How can I help? What do you need?
[action]
Date: 2012-09-23 06:10 am (UTC)I feel like- [He pauses for a moment. This isn't the voice that should be coming out of him. Granted, he still sounds a little like 'Max', but it feels like they're all trying to speak through him.] I don't know. I feel like I want out of myself- [He tugs her hands a bit, actually holding them now, actually getting a little closer to her, actually- hm. Liking it? Well, all signs point to him having lost his mind already. This really couldn't get much worse, though a low demonic voice slips it's way out, bristles along and takes it's time to actually make sense.]
-an̢d ͞in͜s̷id̵e̛ ̕yóu͠.
[action]
Date: 2012-09-23 06:29 am (UTC)Max remember, you are in control of them. They don't make the choices. You do.
[She stressed his human name, and did not try to take her hands back. No, if he was this out of control, touching him was her best and only real defense.]
[action]
Date: 2012-09-23 07:05 am (UTC)And ͠if we͠ want t̴h͟e̢ şa͜m̷e ͢th̸ing͏?
[action]
Date: 2012-09-23 07:16 am (UTC)In hindsight, maybe actively using her powers on him was a mistake. She didn't want to hurt him. He was her friend, just a little out of control of himself at the moment. So she tried just staying calm and talking to him...them.]
Don't I get a say?
[action]
Date: 2012-09-23 07:41 am (UTC)[He's normally not quite so out of his mind, but there's a certain sense of relief that comes from pressing his lips to her neck. Finally getting that close to her. It's like a sigh. He's not sure what could come from contact like this, but it feels as if his consciousness has simply walked out and slammed the door behind it. A hand wrenches itself from hers and slips down to grace her thigh.]
Y͡o̕u ca͢n͏ s̵a͝ỳ w͏h̸e͜n.
[Well, he's bent on possessing her. One way or the other. And right now, he's only really aware of the one way. The other, however is starting to clamor out of him with an equal ferocity. At the most, there are tiny demonic fingers groping out to find her consciousness as his mortal ones grasp at her skin.]
[action]
Date: 2012-09-23 07:58 am (UTC)Legion, don't do this.
[action]
Date: 2012-09-23 08:27 am (UTC)[So it was 'Legion' now, was it? Her words didn't dissuade much. If anything, there was a spark of mischief embedded into the collective consciousness. The Many felt as if they were groping around in the darkness, and really, so did Max, his teeth slightly scraping at her neck. But- not for long. Finding a good grip on her consciousness (and by chance, her nightgown), they attempted to seize her.]
[action]
Date: 2012-09-23 08:41 am (UTC)On a long slow sigh, her hands slid up around his neck, a hand tangling into his hair. She pressed herself against him, her lips brushing the shell of his ear, and she whispered.]
I'm sorry...
[For a instant, it seemed like she was going to not fight him, the press of him on her mind was so strong. And then, before he could break past her will, she brought her knee up between his legs as hard as she could.]
[action]
Date: 2012-09-23 09:06 am (UTC)He couldn't even look at her, but once her touch was completely gone, he was sure he would have felt better, had it not felt like someone had just attempted to castrate him with a blunt object. It took him a moment to realize exactly what he'd been doing to get himself in that position, and once the pain had finally started to subside, both of his hands went to his forehead.]
I'm so sorry. [Max was, at least. Legion was at least several shades of pissed off.]
[action]
Date: 2012-09-23 09:16 am (UTC)Don't be, you couldn't help it. I shouldn't have touched you. I'm so sorry.
[action]
Date: 2012-09-23 09:14 pm (UTC)It should take a little more than you holding my hand to make me try to- do that to you, shouldn't it? jesus. [He shakes his head, and sighs into his hands.] I don't even know what that was.
[action]
Date: 2012-09-23 11:14 pm (UTC)My powers induce desire for me in others. Touching them increases the desire, but usually that kind of reaction takes hours of exposure to happen.
[action]
Date: 2012-09-24 12:32 am (UTC)I'm sorry. But- you really- [He has to pause. Collect himself. Stare at the floor. Anything to keep from wanting to claw his way into her mind.] You really should go. At least for a bit. I don't really know what I just tried to do to you, so-
[He motions for her to move along, so he can close the door.]
Re: [action]
Date: 2012-09-24 01:03 am (UTC)You're right. I.... I'll be around.
[ She gave him a small smile, brushed her hair behind her ear and turned away.]
[action]
Date: 2012-09-24 02:30 am (UTC)-sure you will.
[He's not sure what to make of her smile, exactly, but he shuts the door behind her, a little too loudly and unceremoniously. Though not before looking at her like hed rather devour her than watch her walk away.]
