Phoebe opens up the lounge in a very good mood... even if she is trying to write a mid-term for a class to take on Thursday.

Period 5

[sensethevisions]

She's reading a book on meditating and relaxation techniques... in theory. She seems to be spending a lot of time writing in a book that has the title of Dream Journaling on it.

Cole tried to peek over her shoulder to see what her dreams were like.

Re: Period 5

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe looked back at him, biting her lip. "If you really want to read it when I'm done writing them... you can. Some of them, very schmoopily happy. Others..."

Re: Period 5

[demonbelthazor]

Cole gave her a curious look. "Only if you want me to, sweetheart."

Re: Period 5

[sensethevisions]

"You've held me through some of my worst premonitions since you've known me... nightmares aren't that different, right?"

Re: Period 5

[demonbelthazor]

"No, they're not," Cole said. He leaned back and look down at her face. "You okay?"

Re: Period 5

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe reached for his hand. "I... I'm not sure, love. The premonition from Sunday..."

Re: Period 5

[demonbelthazor]

"...isn't going to happen," Cole finished. "I'm not bringing Angelus back, and I would never let him hurt you."

Re: Period 5

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe shook her head and pulled him to her. "That's not it at all, I know that, sweetheart. You'd never let anyone hurt me." Her eyes looked troubled. "It's just... Cole? I still feel what happened in the vision..."

Re: Period 5

[demonbelthazor]

His eyes filled with horror. He still heard the sound of her neck cracking echoing in his ears, like the aftermath of a car crash echoing in the head of its victim. For Phoebe to still be experiencing the premonition was an awful thought. "Oh, love," he whispered, drawing her into his arms.

Re: Period 5

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe leaned against him gratefully, and felt him react to the realization that she was still experiencing it. She was trying not to shake too badly. "I haven't said anything because I thought it would fade like the imprints from the others always have. But this one... it's not fading. I keep hearing my neck... feeling myself..." She swallowed, closing her eyes.

Re: Period 5

[demonbelthazor]

"How do we make it stop?" he asked helplessly.

Re: Period 5

[sensethevisions]

"Bridge suggested meditation and working on putting shields around my mind... but I may have to wait for this to fade some, first." She tightened her hold on him.

Kiki pokes her head in, and, seeing Phoebe and Bel, raises an eyebrow and says, "Afternoon, you two. Is it safe to come in?" She's smiling at them, however, although she looks a little sad.

Re: Period 5

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe looks up and nods at Kiki. "Of course it's safe, BFF. Why wouldn't it be?"

Re: Period 5

[demonbelthazor]

"Hey," Bel said warily.

Re: Period 5

[kikidelivers.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Bel," Kiki smiles at him. He and Phoebe look so happy together that she's sure they've really begun working things out, and she's not about to draw attention to any of that. "I just wanted to be sure I wasn't, um, interrupting anything. Anyway, I'm trying to find my books for Western Lit. I thought I might have left them here. I've got Independent Study this afternoon."

Re: Period 5

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe points to the table where hers are. "Hey, Kiki... I've been re-reading some passages in Inferno..."

Re: Period 5

[demonbelthazor]

Cole stretched out on the couch. "You two go ahead and study," he said, "I'll just go over my Celtic Studies notes."

Re: Period 5

[sensethevisions]

"Don't forget about the importance of the swanlings in that story," Phoebe said with a laugh.

Re: Period 5

[kikidelivers.livejournal.com]

Kiki is hunting under some of the chairs. "There they are!" She emerges triumphantly with dust in her hair, and sets Frankenstein, Faust and Inferno down on the table. Brushing herself off, she asks Phoebe, "I was actually going to ask you about the Inferno. Do you really think we're going to be in one of the deepest levels of hell just because we're witches?"


[ooc: whee, reposting is fun!]

Re: Period 5

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe takes a seat. She sighs, running a hand through her hair. "I've been thinking about that, Kiki. It seems that by just being who we are, we're cursed or condemned. But I don't like that widely-held belief. Besides... I think you and I ahve been to the deepest levels of hell right here in Fandom."

Re: Period 5

[kikidelivers.livejournal.com]

"There is something to that idea," Kiki nods, sitting down. Resting her chin on her hand she says, "Ever since I d- ever since I caught a glimpse of what comes next, I've been curious about it. I'm not so sure Dante is right, but I can't say I got a very good look."

Re: Period 5

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe nods at her. "I've wondered the same thing since Klea tore through my mind. I'm not ready to die, but I am curious about the other side. We may have to add that to our list of things to investigate read about."


[[OOC:Do you still have the blank for this icon? :)]]

Re: Period 5

"Without," Kiki remarks, "actually going there ourselves. I'd rather not repeat that experience!"


[ooc: I think I might, on my home comp. I'll check when I get home tonight :) ]
