the final threshold

[beejfq]

[The entirety of the past week (at least you think it's only been a week) has been...odd, even for you dead folks. Seeing between two different timelines, not being able to haunt your friends, seeing your own murder play out before your very eyes, BJ still exists- it's, quite frankly, A Lot.

But today things feel different. There's a stillness to everything, an absolute silence to the Opera House that feels empty and alien. Even if you focus you can't see or hear the living. It's like they're gone completely.

If that's not weird enough you suddenly hear BJ's voice echoing through every inch of the Opera House.]

Guys? HEY, YOU GUYS! YOU MIGHT WANNA GET OUT HERE TO THE CEMETERY!

...are we being hacked?

[reassuranceandrevolution]

How did they get our bodies working again?

[superbeliever]

I think we'd be in significantly more pieces if we were being hacked.

[37773972]

No, it's like- it's taking over. Taking control.

...can we hack them back?

[isawallflower]

How? How- I have to- I can't watch this? Yeah, I wanna be- be more stable, but not like this!!

[ Sure is a time to realize this!! ]

[etincelledefierte]

We have to do something -

[She pauses.]

The mirrors. Can we go to the mirrors on our side, write messages on them, something?

[isawallflower]

Would they even be able to read them right now? Our bodies are pile-driving them!

[mcfife]

Can we possess ourselves and fight them off?

[isawallflower]

If we could get anything to work— hey, get off him you...you robo-me!! Santana, go- go for her side, she- I’m ticklish— oh dammit.

[mcfife]

Sneak attack! I'm weak to stealth!

[herwiggles]

Meep!

[Are there mirrors? Can Spinel dart over to one and start... pounding on the glass?]

Heeey! Christine!!

[superbeliever]

Oh, like magic.

[Well fuck me, I guess.]

[37773972]

[And Stephen looks even more horrified]

Worse.

[reassuranceandrevolution]

At least we don't have computers in our brains?

[She does not look like she actually thinks this is better]

[mcfife]

But now it's more difficult to get rid of. [It's not like they can reach in and rearrange their entire brain.] Where did he keep those scans?

[reassuranceandrevolution]

Maybe if we can regain our ability to possess, we can take them over, force some kind of...brain reboot?

[mcfife]

That is what I am thinking. [Angus can be smart sometimes.] Want to try?

[37773972]

Maybe, and...Jeremy's SQUIP had another body here, before. Maybe we could convince it that it could have that again? Since it's not willing to go...

[holyspit]

Oh.

[Oh. Oh shit.]

He's just like White but WORSE.

[Steven looks just a little ill at the moment.]

[herwiggles]

WORSE?!

[A nice contrast to the Spinel out there is the Spinel in here very loudly FREAKING THE FUCK OUT]

[holyspit]

THIS IS SO MUCH WORSE!

[It's the same weird puppety crap but creepier!]

cw: antiquated medical practices

[superbeliever]

Oh, God, did we get trepanned?

[etincelledefierte]

We got something.

[She looks awfully pale.]

[superbeliever]

That's not me! He may look like me, but I would never call Tad Cooper a lizard!

[etincelledefierte]

Of course it's not you! We both know Tad Cooper is a little dragon.

I hope he's not too sensitive to the airhorn. Poor little guy.
