To Those in the Know

[suave_thomas]

I let my little sister hypnotise me and I remembered things that should help us find the missing people. I also remembered things I wish I could forget, but that's tne nature of the beast. I described the house Amaris is staying in to Aly and she drew it. A perfect likeness. She's made copies if anyone needs one. I hope it helps. I want our friends back now.

My wrists hurt. These damn cuffs chafe and they're heavy and it's an eternal reminder that she had me at her mercy. But they're welded bloody on and I can't get them off. And as long as they're there, I feel like part of me still belongs to her. It's stupid, right?

She has Kay and Carla. Whatever you plan, I want in.

...uh, I think you want to speak to Peter there.

[twilightrobe.livejournal.com]

Will do.

That's really good news, man. It gives me hope that you guys are closing in. I have faith you can do this. I think you show in your actions every day that Amaris doesn't have any part of you, Thomas.

On the contrary I think I show every day that she does, Timothy.

I guess it depends on how you look at it. You're resisting. I know how hard that is.

I'm sorry, Timothy. I just want to do more. I shouldn't have snapped. Thank you for what you said, alright? It means a lot that you would try to comfort me, especially now.

It's okay. I know where it was coming from. We're all... you know, it's fucked. All of this. I'm glad you could see my words for what they were meant to be though, even if you don't agree. I'm with you, though. I wish I could do more too, though knowing your position definitely makes me appreciate my own at the same time.

I'm not a thinker I'm a doer. I'm not so good with helping with my brain.

[chase-dragons.livejournal.com]

You seem to do pretty good, from what I've seen. I can relate, though. There's no deep thoughts I can offer to this. Just my hands, if there's a use for them.

Without chains, the cuffs are only iron. They show that you escaped, not that you belong to her. I do understand what you mean, though. It's not good to have that reminder always there, especially since they're painful, too.

Our little sisters are wonderful. They're heroes.

I just wish they'd come off. It's not nice still feeling like a prisoner.

I want to HELP. It's making me grumpy fucking lying here.

[whichdoctor.livejournal.com]

We'll find a way, surely. There's got to be something.

Thomas, your knowledge is an immense help. No one else could have given us that. You helped by being a survivor. By having the strength to get through it the first time. There's more than just the physical help to be offered, though I understand very well that it feels like the more productive and satisfying side.

I'm just used to being brute strength guy. And now I'm 'could have been the main character in Thinner guy...

[whichdoctor.livejournal.com]

I wish you were able to be involved the way you want to. It's always been such a comforting thing in times of trouble.

[suave-thomas.livejournal.com]

But I can bash my wrists together and it sounds like cymbals.

[whichdoctor.livejournal.com]

You do that, and I'll do the Dance of Frustrated Waiting.

[suave-thomas.livejournal.com]

And as I can't really join you, I'll beat box too.

[whichdoctor.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a plan.
