Sept. 4th: Eye Spy

"I'm telling you, it's the teacher. He lured you in here."

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Thu Oct 16, 2014 11:17 am

"Unless... You're the one with anger issues and an alcohol problem. Heeere's Winny!" she laughs way too much at her dumb joke.

"Not a writer," Winn says. "But I am tempted to bury an axe in your head. So, maybe you're on to something."

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Thu Oct 16, 2014 11:28 am

"Yeah but you got no ax and I have the Shining. Advantage, Jenn!"

by **Winifred Winters** » Thu Oct 16, 2014 11:30 am

"Shh. You want to get sued?" Winn asks. "Just use that shin of yours to get us out of here."

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Thu Oct 16, 2014 11:55 am

Jennifer snickers and closes her eyes, trying to concentrate on... something. The way out, right! Maybe there's someone nearby who knows. Only Winn around though. Maybe Winn knows! she reasons her way into poking at Winn's mind and broadcasting her thoughts to her in the process. Wait... No she's stuck in here with me, why would she know? Maybe she's lieing and she does know! Wait no she was running in here like a panicked ferret when she tackled me...

"Och, I'm bad at this." she continues snickering.

by **Winifred Winters** » Thu Oct 16, 2014 4:02 pm

"I was not a ferret!" Winn protests. "And didn't I tell you to stay out of my head?"

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Thu Oct 16, 2014 4:19 pm

"Wait! You totally are lieing, you just don't realize it!" something occurs to her. "You walked in here so in theory the way out's in your dumb brain, even if you didn't pay attention at the time. I can't look at my own brain so I gotta go through yours."

by **Winifred Winters** » Thu Oct 16, 2014 4:27 pm

"...Fine," Winn says. "But don't go poking around, okay?"

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Thu Oct 16, 2014 4:34 pm

"Yeah, yeah." she says and goes back to focusing on Winn's mind. She's a tiny bit unfocused thanks to being high but it also kind of helps with just sort of settling into Winn's thoughts like they were a fluffy cloud.

by **Winifred Winters** » Thu Oct 16, 2014 4:44 pm

Winn's mind was kind of a melancholy place. It felt very grey (with some angry red bits that probably were best left alone). There was also a lot of "junk", for a lack of a better term. Memories and feelings left strewn about wherever, random thoughts floating through the ether, and just a general mess all around.

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Thu Oct 16, 2014 4:50 pm

Okay... Maze... Running into the maze, gonna tackle the hell out of someone. Maaaze. Mazemazemaze.

by **Winifred Winters** » Thu Oct 16, 2014 4:56 pm

As Jennifer focused, things became darker and darker. It wasn't long before she was standing in a field of complete and total darkness.

Then a pair of glowing yellow eyes opened in front of Jennifer. They stared at her and she would get the distinct feeling that something was evaluating her.

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Thu Oct 16, 2014 5:44 pm

"Uhm... Hi?" she says nervously. "I'm not late for the math test, am I?"

by **Winifred Winters** » Thu Oct 16, 2014 6:14 pm

Darkness formed into the dim outline of a human form and the person with glowing yellow eyes slowly raises a finger to their lips.

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Thu Oct 16, 2014 6:22 pm

"Sorry!" she mentally stage-whispers. "Where do I sit for the test? And why am I not wearing any pants!?"

by **Winifred Winters** » Thu Oct 16, 2014 6:27 pm

The person disappears from view and then reappears behind Jennifer, standing unsettlingly close to her. It begins to wrap its arms around her waist for a gentle hug.

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Thu Oct 16, 2014 6:30 pm

"Gah!" she jumps forward. "Keep your mental hands to yourself, Winters!" she snaps out of whatever math-class-without-pants nightmare she thought she'd ended up in.

by **Winifred Winters** » Thu Oct 16, 2014 6:40 pm

The person has no face, but Jennifer can feel an amused smile emanating from them. As light begins to creep into the darkness, the person fades away. First their shadowy outline disappears, followed by their glowing eyes.

When they're completely gone, Jennifer is standing in Winn's memory, right outside of the entrance.

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Thu Oct 16, 2014 7:08 pm

That was freaky... she shudders, trying to focus on Winn and her run through the maze.

by **Winifred Winters** » Thu Oct 16, 2014 7:17 pm

As she stepped into the maze she was greeted by an awful din. It sounded like an out of tune orchaestra had been thrown down the stairs and it was loud enough to feel in your (figurative and telepathic) bones.

Standing on top of one of the hedges was Winn. Her eyes were glowing yellow and she didn't look happy.

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Thu Oct 16, 2014 7:41 pm

Was she hallucinating? What the hell?

by **Winifred Winters** » Thu Oct 16, 2014 7:50 pm

The Other-Winn only stared at Jennifer and made no move to stop her as she traced Winn's path through the maze. However, she was always in sight. Always watching.

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Thu Oct 16, 2014 7:51 pm

"Hey, what's your problem, creepy Stalker-Winn?"

by **Winifred Winters** » Thu Oct 16, 2014 8:11 pm

Another blast of terrible noise was the only response.

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Thu Oct 16, 2014 8:24 pm

She covers her mental ears. "Shut up!"

by **Winifred Winters** » Thu Oct 16, 2014 8:27 pm

There was a brief silence. Then the Other-Winn began to crack like a glass figurine, energy burning through the cracks.

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Thu Oct 16, 2014 8:44 pm

And Jennifer starts to run alongside Winn through the maze.

by **Winifred Winters** » Thu Oct 16, 2014 8:52 pm

Jennifer reaches where Winn tackled her shortly, the Other-Winn appearing between her and the hedge Winn jumped through, having become little more than a fire in the vague shape of Winn.

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Thu Oct 16, 2014 9:45 pm

"Ooh, you didn't tackle me." she realizes while she keeps following Winn.

by **Winifred Winters** » Thu Oct 16, 2014 10:12 pm

The figure disappeared, leaving Jennifer alone in the hedge maze.

Apparently, Jennifer had caught up to the present.

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Thu Oct 16, 2014 10:21 pm

"Okay... I think I got it..." she mumbles in the real world.

by **Winifred Winters** » Fri Oct 17, 2014 10:29 am

"Took you long enough," Winn mumbles.

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Fri Oct 17, 2014 10:50 am

"Do you have a twin?" she asks seemingly out of nowhere as she picks a direction and starts walking.

by **Winifred Winters** » Fri Oct 17, 2014 11:59 am

"What? No," Winn says. "Where the fuck did that come from?"

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Fri Oct 17, 2014 12:02 pm

"I dunno. Just wondering. I once heard that everyone has a doppelganger somewhere in the world."

by **Winifred Winters** » Fri Oct 17, 2014 12:30 pm

"Well, yeah," Winn agrees. "Usually, it's an tulpa or thoughtform that was created by accident. A manifestation of a repressed shadow-self. It's pretty common with celebrities. The constant separation of self makes it easy for them to accidentally create a tulpa like that. Especially if they're under stress."

"I don't have one though. Well, I mean, not that I know of."

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Fri Oct 17, 2014 12:34 pm

"I've never heard of that... Sounds freaky. Like a ghost that haunts your brain."

by **Winifred Winters** » Fri Oct 17, 2014 12:48 pm

"Yeah, something like that," Winn says.

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Fri Oct 17, 2014 12:51 pm

"Cool... I gotta read up on that."
