160 Howls: Video

[coyote_walking]

[Someone has a handful of balloons floating along behind her. And is pointedly ignoring them. Or attempting to.]

Tried popping them. Doesn't seem to work.


[And the chorus behind her gets a bit louder.]

None of them ever loved you.

No one ever even wanted you.

[And the eerie hiss of another.]

And no one ever will.



Tried putting headphones on, but nothing seems to block them out.


[And more join in.]

Never fit in.

Never will.

Home? Not for you.


[And a particularly nasty hiss.]

You don't belong anywhere. Freak.


Please tell me these will be gone at midnight.

I... don't know if they'll be gone at midnight or not, but... that seems to be the pattern here...

Mercy? Don't listen to them.

Re: video;

[coyote_walking]

They're pretty hard to ignore.

[67chevyimpala]

Yeah, I get that, but you know they're just spewing shit, right?

Re: video;

[coyote_walking]

Yeah?

Tell me you wouldn't have thought I was a freak if you'd run into me back home.

[There's no anger or upset in her voice, just a tired sadness.]

Enough others did.

There's just enough truth in what they say to make it all really sting.

[67chevyimpala]

No, not a freak. A shifter. Different thing.

And you don't really care what others think, right?

Re: lvideo;

[coyote_walking]

Maybe...

Usually I don't care to much. Not that it makes it hurt less

But today... They're just wearing me down.

[67chevyimpala]

Yeah, this curse sucks, but I don't have an entourage following me around. Where are you?

Re: video;

[coyote_walking]

Home.

I'm not going to subject anyone at work to this.

video;

[67chevyimpala]

Want some company?

Re: video;

[coyote_walking]

Please.

Anything to distract me from all of this.

video;

[67chevyimpala]

On my way.

Re: video;

[coyote_walking]

Thanks, Dean.

[67chevyimpala]

For you, anytime.

[ooc: Did you want to thread them?]

[reallygreathair]

Ohhh Mercy. Balloons you say? Not very nice aren't they?

[coyote_walking]

That's an understatement if I ever heard one.

[reallygreathair]

You know I wonder why it couldn't have been bubbles. Now, that's a good time. There's this planet off Nebula 16 that is nothing but bubbles. They're littered all over the sky in different colors.

[coyote_walking]

Bubbles. That sounds nice.

I wish I could see that place. It sounds amazing.

I'm guessing you don't have balloons bothering you today?

[reallygreathair]

Ohhhhhh it is just brilliant! There's twin moons and at night the natives have a festival with fireworks. A really lively place.

[He does but he won't admit it.]

Me? Nahhhhhh!

[coyote_walking]

You've led an amazing life, Doctor. Sometimes I'd love to sit down and listen to your stories.

[She'd thought she heard something behind him, but she must have been mistaken.]

I'm glad. You, of all people, shouldn't have to deal with this sort of nastiness.

[reallygreathair]

Ohhh it has been quite the ride. Welll then we must have a nice face to face chat some time.

[He studies her and notices.]

Are you alright?

[coyote_walking]

I'd like that. I really would. Especially after today.

[She hesitates, then sighs a little.]

It's a bit rough I have to admit. But midnight has to get here at some point, right?

[reallygreathair]

Welll just let me know.

Ohh midnight should get here soon enough.

[He glances over his shoulder.]

If only my TARDIS worked then it would get here in no time at all.

[coyote_walking]

What do you mean? Can it travel in time as well as around the universe? Universes?

[reallygreathair]

Welllll some universes. This is a universe, right?

[coyote_walking]

I don't know. It doesn't seem big enough to be one.

I know some people call it a pocket dimension, if that means anything to you.
