0144: [Accidental Video]
Sep. 17th, 2010 11:33 amRain is at home - for the first time since the digging incident when her mind splintered. She looks happier than she's looked in a long time, but if you watch closely, something seems... off. She's clearly alone in the little house, but she's acting as if there's someone there - even sometimes walking as if she's holding the hand of someone rather taller than she is.
And if you listen carefully, you might just realize that she's talking to this person - someone obviously not in the house and, quite honestly, someone who's been gone from The City for quite a while.
She's made grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch, setting two plates, but seemingly unbothered that the second goes uneaten, still happily chattering away to the non-present Mat.
... And then after we clean up, maybe we could take a nap together? I feel like snuggling if you don't mind.
She giggles happily at his imagined response.
You never do, you're right, but I like to ask anyway and yes, we have to clean up first!
[ooc: Rain's mind fragmented even more after Arkady mentally pushed her hard enough to control her and make her dig at the alien ship. With some help from Arkady and Romana, she managed to reintegrate all the different selves that split off, but the main 'Rain', the last one to return wouldn't come back unless she could bring the Mat in her mind back with her since she's only ever felt not broken with him.
So... have Rain with her imaginary Mat. She thinks he's here and real, even though a small unlistened to part of her knows it's just pretend. If questioned she'll be firm about his presence, but sure that no one else can see him because he's just stepped out for a moment or has gone somewhere else to visit or work for a while.]
