help me liz-o-wan kenobi | [ clay and desmond make daisy chains] | test post

[synchronizes]

Is imagining you're on a spaceship a part of the bleeding effect? Or is this what Clay meant by my mind being 'broken?'

... I'm pretty sure there's still goo in my ears.

lizzy-wan kenobi would have been funnier. 0/10 YOU LOSE. GOOD DAY SIR.

Pretty sure that unless one of your ancestors have been up on a spaceship you can't really excuse this one with the bleeding effect. You want to try and convince yourself Altair got abducted by aliens at some point or can we skip all that and move on to you just being crazy?

idk you don't really come off as a lizzy!!! 1/2

[synchronizes]

Hey, Altair had the Apple for how many years? We already know that thing can tell the future. Who knows what else it could've done.

2/2

[synchronizes]

Wait— are you in my head?

I thought I told you that you couldn't do that!

well that's because i haven't been a lizzy in like 8 years okay girl

[couldfindapen]

What? No, of course not. This is your conscience speaking, Desmond. You've just been ignoring me for so long that you forgot what I sound like. [100% accurate facts up in the house. Also enough shade to cause an eclipse, but.]

But back to the important part, I'm pretty sure the Apple isn't capable of space travel. If it was, I'm sure anyone who could use it would be long gone.

calling you lizzy from now on better be ready

[synchronizes]

Really? Don't remember you being this much of a dick.

[ Smart retort, so smart. You'd make philosophers cry, Desmond. ]

Fine, but it's still an alien artifact, right? Aliens... space, kind of goes hand in hand. [ Right? Right?] I'm not going crazy.

my body is ready. in return, i will call you dr. drey

[couldfindapen]

Ignoring a guy for 10 years does that. Maybe if you're extra nice and make it up to me, I'll stop being such a dick.

[Chuckle] I never said you were going crazy, Desmond. I said you were crazy. Past tense.

dats what my cousin calls me, lizzy

[synchronizes]

It's not like I'm trying to save the world or anything.

[ if he were a bird, he'd be puffing out his feathers out indignantly. instead he just gives 'em sassy hips ]

C'mon, you think I've got the imagination to make this stuff up? Aliens from other planets? Vampires? People from the future?

clearly your cousin is super clever

[couldfindapen]

[If he were a bird, Clay would have had an even easier time training Desmond to go find shiny things. But that’s neither here nor there.]

Oh c’mon Desmond, give your insane brain some credit; I’m sure you’re a lot more imaginative than you think. [He's sure you were able to imagine Lucy naked plenty of times. which puts desmond at roughly the same creativity level as clay and probably vidic]

[synchronizes]

I might not know how I'm talking to you, or how I'm here. But I know the difference between a hallucination and... this, whatever it is.

[ The humor leaves his voice. He might not be okay (even if he won't admit it), but Desmond knows he isn't imagining things. Mot this. ]

It isn't in my head.

[ But there is something in his head, and with that said, Desmond sticks a finger into his ear, withdrawing a glob of blue goo. ]

[couldfindapen]

Okay, okay, don't worry about it I was just k- [-idding is what he was about to finish that sentence off with but.

Jesus Christ's Alien Magical Towel, Desmond what the fuck is leaking out of your head.]

Really hope that's not part of your brain, because if it is, you've got a few problems.

AM I DOING OKAY.... be liz honest

[synchronizes]

I don't think I'd be standing here talking to you if it was. [ A beat. ] Besides, it's not called the melting effect, right?

[ Too much time in the animus and this is what happens: your brain melts.

Clay, check your ears. ]

I feel fine, really!

YOU'RE DOING WONDERFULLY /kisses you on the forehead and backflips away

[couldfindapen]

Maybe Juno melted your brain a bit by accident. [Subtly just. Tipping his head to the side. Just in case it really is the melting effect.

Okay, nothing oozing out of his skull. He's doing pretty good.]

I'm pretty sure we've already been through why the "I feel fine so nothing's wrong with me" train of thought doesn't really work. But maybe you forgot because your brain's leaking.
