You know what, I am so sick of this. Completely sick of this!! And look at me, repeating myself and using multiple exclamation points (two!) like a rebel. Because I am a rebel!

I'm tired of all these embarrassing personal incidents. When they aren't embarrassing, they're deeply horrifying and disturbing. I just want regular old test taking anxiety again! I want worrying about whether Anya is going to ask Giles if he has a new orgasm friend yet in public! And all that demon stuff, even that was familiar.

But here it's like, oh, here's that troll kid I'm friends with and he got his arm torn off. Here's me turning myself into a troll and going creepy stalker over Aradia. (Which by the way, oh Goddess am I sorry for and eternally mortified about.) Or here's me picking up the bloody scraps of the clothes of the double of someone I'm friends with!

And don't tell me I'm using too many of's there, I told you I'm a rebel today! I just want my test taking anxiety back, darn it. I'd even take worrying over when I'm going back to college, and that was a lot of worrying.

... Okay, whining done. End whining. In other news, who's still having wacky collar-induced sickness and power-tampering shenanigans? Cause frankly I'm finding this really worrying and I want to get to the bottom of this.

I'm not positive, but I'm pretty sure I'm still affected by the "wacky collar-induced shenanigans".

...Also the anxiety in your soul is incredibly loud and echoing through the halls, so would you mind keeping it down slightly?

Worrying? i cAn barelymove my body enoguto worryh. left my roomthrehousr agoani only got to thrtemrianl.

You complain too much.

yes the shenanigans are still in place
and i apologise now if i or any of my clones end up damaging anything of yours
or if they all start approaching you and getting things all confused

and dont be mortified
these things happen
its actually kind of funny when i look back

Woooooooow.
Lamest re8el ever.

That's a thing? You can hear my anxiety echoing? Um, sorry. I think I got most of my complaining out now, anyway, so it should be better.

Do you usually hear souls being loud or is it because of the wacky shenanigans?

Whoa, hey, I can only make out like half of that.

I was trying to play it cool and not have a heart attack over what's happening to everyone, but yeah, it is definitely more than just worrying. Some people's powers are out of control, some people can't move... I'm dreading if they call me down there for collar tweaking myself.

I don't complain all the time, I just had it all built up from weeks of not complaining about anything. I had to get it out.

Yeah, well, whenever I'm a non-lame rebel it just ends up being deeply frightening and making me regret it for ages. I'm okay with this status as lame.

Your clones? Why clones, what is going on with clones?

Funny for you, maybe. Do you know how long it took me to turn back? I think my nails are still a little yellow and claw-y. I don't want to have claws!

I can always hear souls, but I can usually block it out when I don't want to hear them. And usually they're at least a little quieter. I'm blaming the shenanigans on all the noise. In a panic, people's souls usually flare up like this, but I could block it out if I wanted. Now, it's just keeping me up all night.

Yours is already a bit quieter though. Now if only I could make everyone else in the tower shut up, I'd be fine.

Can't move much, either. I keep trying for the cafeteria. Usually give up halfway there.

[ Guess who just recently came back to life? SIGH. ]

Willow... I am sorry. Truly sorry.

[ There is so much guilt here. Link needs to tell her that Ganondorf is also here... ]

But... I am glad you are unharmed. What is happening right now? I only recently...

[ Came back, but Link can't finish the sentence. ]

[Chidori takes all of this in carefully, and then just shakes her head. If her non-expression could be called anything, it might be chagrin.]

Experiments will never be in the control of the subjects, Willow.

That sounds really annoying. I'd offer to come up with something to help you sleep, but honestly I'm not sure I should try anything right now. Imagining my own powers getting out of control gives me the heebie-jeebies.

Oh, well... good? I try not to let the freak outs last too long. Does physical distance help at all? Maybe you could sit on the steps of that floor with the endless space around it or something.

I didn't sign up to be a subject, and neither did anyone else here. I'm not going to sit down and take it if they think they can control us.

Maybe they can, but can you really just accept something like that?

Do you want me to bring you something? I don't want anyone to go hungry.

[Yeah, she didn't hear anything about him dying in the first place, so she's totally clueless about this.]

You only recently what? And what do you have to be sorry about? None of it was your fault, Link, I just need to vent sometimes. But venting-- not personal.

[Then she launches into the exposition without hesitation, rattling it off with the gusto of someone who's been in this position many times before.] As for what's happening, people are getting called down to have their collars 'adjusted', and when they do, they change the color. There's weird side effects like illness, paralysis, and especially loss of control of their abilities or just flat out loss of their abilities.

No, it's fine. Food's least on priority right now... I'm checking for who- [It seems a bit too much to talk right then, so here's a long pause.]

-who got better since this started.

[ ... Oh. Oh, my. Pausing... how to phrase this? Link shifts a bit, thinking. How to word this. ]

I have plenty to be sorry about. I wish I had better things to tell you, things other than the fact Zelda and I, along with the younger Hero of Winds just died a second time. This place is becoming exceedingly more dangerous with each person they choose to bring in. If you see a large man with red hair calling himself Ganondorf, please, be exceedingly careful.

He is from my world--Hyrule. He possesses a great and evil power. I can only hope he was subjected to what you just spoke of, because I am deeply concerned for what he may do while here...

That's really quite irrelevant. It does not change the fact that subjects is in fact what we are, rebel though we may.

I can accept a lot, so long as Strega remains unharmed. It is when they are put in danger that I cannot.

...

You turned into a troll?

[Sorry, he's just going to... ignore the rest of the aspects of this post for now. Because hello, SHE TURNED INTO A TROLL.]

People have been getting better? I didn't hear about that. What have you found so far?

[So glum as she answers.]

Worse, I turned myself into a troll. I ate some chocolate that turned me into a psycho stalker, and... and I'd really rather not talk about it.

They're in danger just by being here-- whoever they are. People get hurt here all the time, not just because of the tower of from each other, too.

I'm tired of watching them get hurt.
