Thirty Third PSI

[a_gentle_boy]

[Well. It had been a day or two since being rescued from Westport, and Lucas finally felt well enough to return to his daily activities. After the first day of binging, the thought of eating more food had been slightly nauseating, actually. When he's finished with school, he will make a call about something that's been on his mind since returning.]

[voice, public]
Ah. Hi, everyone. This is Lucas. Um. First off, I'd like to say thanks to whoever it was that brought us all back. . . . I really don't want to think about what would have happened to us if you hadn't come. I think Vince said your name was Mr. Doctor...

The other thing is, I'd like to talk to the people who were in Westport last year. Did any of you take a look around for more clues . . . ? I guess no hazmats means no clues, and I don't really mind that, but. I know I didn't find anything important. . . . There were a few things, though - Some things that were odd. There wasn't a church or a library. And, Kay, do you remember the television in the house you hid in last year? I went back to the same house, and . . . there wasn't anything there. But I know it was the same. The place where the TV had plugged into, it was missing entirely.

. . . I'm not sure what any of this means, but it might be important to think about.

I'm alright by now, thanks. It definitely went a lot better this time around.

I had heard people had gone there before.

What was different about this time, if you don't mind my asking?

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

Um. Well. There wasn't anyone trying to kill us, most importantly. It sounds like it was worse for people back home, actually . . .

[someday-a-queen.livejournal.com]

....

Yes, that does sound like an improvement.

Things were rather... chaotic here, to say the least.

The statues made a lot of trouble, right? Why is it that they only sent some of us back in time and not others, though?

[someday-a-queen.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure.

I know some people were killed and others were....well I do not know what you would call it.
Possessed...perhaps.

The person who calls himself the Doctor lives in my house as my appointed father. He rescued me from one of the creatures.

Possessed . . . ? What do you mean by that?

The Doctor lives in the same house as you? Can you tell him that I say thanks again, anyway?

[someday-a-queen.livejournal.com]

I'm ...not quite certain. From what I heard, it sounds like if you looked in their eyes... then they someone became a part of you. And drove you mad, until you died..

....have you thanked him already?

That doesn't sound like anything I've ever heard of before. . . . I wonder if PSI Shield could have done anything. B-But yes, I did, and he said not to.

Yes, he's stubborn like that. I think he blames himself.

But why would he, if he saved us?
