[Three days into the mingle]

[mytearsaremine]

[There's a new voice piping up on the psychic network, a nervous and stressed-sounding voice. One who has spoken up on the network before, though at least this time she isn't screaming.]

I'm stuck. I'm stuck in liminal space. I-- I don't know how to get out and there's this awful music and I keep sinking in the water or whatever it is and can someone come and get me? Please?

[Guess what. Jolie is back from being torn apart by a Stricken, and she still doesn't know how to make portals. She may also kind of sound like she might be trying not to cry. Oops.]

You wanted to get away from the noise and a way out to the jaunt again. I offered you both. Ain't my fault if you don't take 'em.

[He's going to get a minirant here. It's an over-reaction, but she's in a bad place and he hit her biggest trigger. Sorry, kiddo.]

You didn't offer, you just told! Nobody orders me around! Nobody! Even if you were the only person to talk to me, I'm not going to do anything somebody orders me to do! I don't want anything to do with you! So just shut up! Shut up and leave me alone!

[And she may actually be crying a little at the end of that, and hopes to hell he can't tell.]

[He doesn't... mostly because he's already tuned out the conversation by then. If she wants to be Yukari about this, that's her problem. Not his fault she can't tell the difference between 'order' and 'bunt suggestion.']

[Good. She's left feeling angry and a little foolish but at least he's not giving her reasons to yell at him anymore. She makes a note, though, that if the doors she finds are double wooden ones, to not go inside!]
