[His eyes are peeking betwixt ungloved fingers, wide and wild. Edward does not blink throughout the entire transmission, but his pupils are consistently darting to and fro, darting about at a hummingbird’s pace. He looks disheveled, wretched and yet glowing with some intangible, nigh-golden force.]

I can—I have tried—over these past few hours—youhavetounderstanditisalotto—

[A pause. He seems captivated by something; he takes a deep, sensual breath.]

Cameron—who? Their safety—John and—and—Kyle and GLaDOS and who--? That can’t stop the cold. The lonely—that feeling won’t—look, I’m sorry—

[Grabs at the communicator, shaking it.]

Don’t. Don’t ignore this. The Porter—Don’t attack. I can see it, feel it, God it’s almost like being it, Alastair, don’t yield to that—It can’t end well—bloody hell, someone stop him! Someone stop it.

[A crack in his voice; the strain is apparent.]

Desire. Please. Stop it.

ooc || Eddie’s been hooked to the Threshold! That means he’ll be spewing desires from this permissions post throughout the span of comments here. If your desire wasn’t mentioned in the opening (didn’t want to bullet the material) fret not! Eddie will be sure to play the sibyl to someone.

Why do you delude yourself into thinking she loves you?

voice; oh man GOING TOE TO TOE WITH THE DELUSIONAL // i'm pretty sure this OBJECTIVELY isn't a lie

[pike]

Because she does.

voice; he's just going to be a bastard now anyway

[enigmaestro.livejournal.com]

If I can feel into your heart, don't you think I can feel into hers?

I'll spare you.

voice; it's okay nigel's pillow of delusionness is downy soft. that's why he got shot in the face.

[pike]

You can say whatever you'd like, and use whatever grace Desire's been kind enough to grant you. But I know the truth.

And I have faith.

voice; bawwww OMG NAMES

[enigmaestro.livejournal.com]

That is so, so tragic. You sound like a puppy begging to be kicked in the face. And I hope it happens.


[Pause.]

What if you can't be united with Jack, hm?

voice; private WE MESS THEM UP CONSTANTLY

[pike]

Sadism. How puerile.

[ A pause. ]

And what do you now about Jack, then? Can you see into his heart as well, Mr. Nygma?

voice; private WE SHOULD START A CLUB!

[enigmaestro.livejournal.com]

Yes. I can. Actually.

But I'm not telling. That would be rude.

voice; private sometimes i'm like WHO IS ALEX oh wait JACK IS ALEX dammit nigel :|

[pike]

Jack doesn't have secrets from me.

Nor does he have a heart.

voice; private skasaskd those are the best moments

[enigmaestro.livejournal.com]

[Using his smirky voice.]

Some of us can detect lies. Dangerous thing, isn't it?

But I wouldn't want to pull you from this. It's far too amusing.

voice; private I APOLOGIZE FOR ALL THE CAMERON NIGEL SPAM orz

[pike]

[ And now he wants to cut out your tongue again. ]

Is that what some of us can do?

[ Idly. ]

We're all dangerous things, in our own ways.

voice; private pfft, don't apologize! have at it!

[enigmaestro.livejournal.com]

[Goodness, but his tongue gets such mileage.]

Well aware. Most attempt to hide it, though.

voice;

[pike]

[ A pause as he considers whether or not he should even bother trying to have a conversation but he's curious. ]

So why you, then?

Nigel.

voice;

[pike]

[ A pause, maybe a bit guiltily like he's afraid he's about to be chastised. ]

...Doctor.

[dogabuse.livejournal.com]

Irritating little man, isn't he.

voice/encrypted;

[pike]

Yes, he is.

[ A lower voice. ]

He's a liar as well.

voice/encrypted;

[dogabuse.livejournal.com]

Is he telling you lies now, Nigel?

voice/encrypted;

[pike]

He said you didn't love me.

[ A beat. ]

But I know you do.

voice/encrypted;

[dogabuse.livejournal.com]

Nigel.

Of course I love you. I love you best.

voice/encrypted;

[pike]

[ A grin. ]

He said I was deluded to think so. But I know the truth. We both do, don't we?

voice/encrypted;

[dogabuse.livejournal.com]

Yes. Never forget-- you were destined for me, Nigel.
