[out_of_time]

I know there are people here who have experience with being... subverted, brainwashed, controlled, whatever you call it. Having your actions influenced by something outside of your control. I'd like to know how you deal with something like that, after the influence is gone. I know it's a very personal question, but this is something I don't know much about. I'd appreciate any information.

I'm putting in a requisition for armor-piercing ammunition. The next time I have to deal with mechanical hostiles, I don't want it to be that hard. I'm also gonna need some repairs done to the car.

S.T.A.R.S, for those of you who don't know yet, we have a new member. Sheldon Sands is going to be our intelligence and undercover specialist from now on; Obi-Wan, that means you're off the hook for having to shave your beard again. I'm going to be running a group training exercise sometime soon so we can work on our coordination; I was thinking about renting some time at a paintball place and going through some scenarios there. Let me know when you're all available and I'll set it up.

PRIVATE TO ELISA MAZA

Elisa, have you seen this? [Link is IC]

How bad was it? If you don't mind me asking.

[imonabike.livejournal.com]

For one, it hurts.

[Police Filter]

... Yeah, you guys are gonna want something like that. I can't hold a gun, but fryin' 'em works just as good.

So Sands is on board?

[emperorshand.livejournal.com]

You have to come to terms with the fact that you were under control, and then move on, or else they still have control over you.

[out_of_time]

Could've been worse. I didn't hurt anybody, that's the important thing. I'm just trying to figure out whether I need to apologize, and who to.

Can you pop on AIM?

[out_of_time]

That makes sense. I think I can do that, thanks.

[out_of_time]

You mean during, or after?

[Police Filter]

Yeah, which brings us back up to six, with Wesker gone. Good time to get together and train, try out some maneuvers.

Sure thing! I'm on now

[emperorshand.livejournal.com]

Yeah, no problem. I know how that one goes, believe me.

[imonabike.livejournal.com]

After. But I might not be one to talk because I didn't get it as strong as other people did.

[Police Filter]

Sounds good.

...the influence is never entirely gone.

[A little muted, but still somehow chattier than usual. Guess who's under the influence himself! But shhh, he doesn't realize it.]

[iron-fister.livejournal.com]

Depends on what you did, but most of the time you need to make at least one apology. Or at least give an explanation. Helps people think you're... you know. Not like that.

[chlorodermic.livejournal.com]

[Y'know, that's happened to her once too. But...yeaaaah she doesn't like you.

So instead there's some cackling.]

Well, I'd beat the crap out of them.

But you, you'd probably torture them or something. Because you're such a great cop, right?

[Police Filter]

[newbvampire]

Understood, sir. I'll be ready whenever you need me.

[Private - Voice]

[sable-cloak.livejournal.com]

Are you alright, Jack?

[thing4telepaths.livejournal.com]

It can take a long time before you start trusting yourself again. And you might not ever be the same afterward.

[A deep inhale]

Ooh, that's a touchy subject. Subjugation through substance is a common method of interrogation in some way. Peripheral judgment becomes impaired, objectivity is completely blown and observational habits are nothing more than ironic perceptions.

Anyway, how I deal with it? I go through the scenario and I pick it apart. If there wasn't a way to avoid it, then I know it wasn't my fault.

[A laugh]

He doesn't have to cross dress either. I can do that pretty well too. Oh, I have the report on The Joker case for you. I'll have it on your desk by Tuesday. Right now, I'm recovering.

[Voice]

[out_of_time]

That sounds like a good way of looking at it, Sheldon. Thanks.

[Filter]

You encountered the Joker?

...

You cross dress?

[Voice/Filtered]

[sands-in-mexico.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I did and it wasn't pretty. He...certainly made an impression and I cross dress if it's mission specific. Don't laugh.

[matchmyreach.livejournal.com]

...'paintball'?

[temporaltossed.livejournal.com]

[temporaltossed.livejournal.com]

I have some experience with that.

[out_of_time]

In that case, I might be good already. I apologized to the people I threatened directly when it wore off.

voice;

[out_of_time]

It is in this case, believe me.

At least, it damn well better be.

[voice]

[out_of_time]

I'm not asking about revenge, Shego. I wouldn't expect you to understand.

[Police Filter]

[out_of_time]

Thanks, Seras.

[Private - Voice]

[out_of_time]

Yeah, yeah I'm fine. Just trying to figure out how to deal with the consequences of something like this. There weren't many, thank God, but it's still disturbing.
