WHAT THE HELL IS THAT NOISE?

...Noise?

[x-cypher.livejournal.com]

Noise! It's been giving me a migraine, haven't been able to sleep, and I wish that whoever or whatever it is would CUT IT THE HELL OUT!

[x-skin.livejournal.com]

Right...

How long's it been bothering you like this?

[x-cypher.livejournal.com]

Don't know. A while. And it won't FREAKING STOP!

[xp_daytripper]

Um, Doug, there ain't any noise, least not that I can hear...

[x-skin.livejournal.com]

No, I can't hear anything, either.

...Doug? Did you ever work out if your power's only for human languages? Could be there's creatures making noise in hearing range that weren't here before, and that's what's bothering you...

[x-cypher.livejournal.com]

Dunno. It's like there are these half-audible whispers in the back of my head, and they won't stop. And it's really starting to PISS ME OFF!

You told the Professor? He'd probably be able to figure out what's going on and maybe make it stop...

Some animal that makes a lot of noise and hasn't been around before? You mean like these (http://www.dcmilitary.com/navy/seaservices/9_20/features/29151-1.html)? There was an article about them in the Times yesterday, too.

That's crazy, Kit. I'm not bugapathic. I mean, what could a bug be saying for me to translate? It's just a bunch of chirps!

...Insects communicate. I don't know if the "dance language" they talk about for bees is something your power would work on, and I don't know what cicadas might have to say... but they do make an annoying noise. Maybe you hear it better?

~Douglas? What exactly is it you're hearing? And I'm sorry if someone already asked, reading English escapes me now and then.~

[x-cypher.livejournal.com]

~It's like...there are these whispers at the back of my head, and it's like I subconsciously know what's being said, but not consciously. And it won't bloody well stop. And it's really starting to piss the hell out of me. Can't sleep, can't concentrate, it _bites_.~

~I don't think you're hearing Askani talking, really. They wouldn't be that rude. Is it louder more in one place than another?~

[x-cypher.livejournal.com]

~I can't tell. It's like it's _everywhere_, and it's driving me insane.~

Just how long have you been hearing this?

Do you want me to go get Dr. McCoy?

Re: ..

[x-cypher.livejournal.com]

I can't put my finger on when it started. It just is this background noise that refuses to go away.

Re: ..

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

I am not hearing anything at all, Doug.

I think you definitly need to see one of the doctors.

*sigh*

[x-cypher.livejournal.com]

I'm just so _tired_, Angie. Can't sleep for crap.

[x-colossus.livejournal.com]

I believe that'd be Jubilee's music coming from her room :)

[x-cypher.livejournal.com]

Tempting explanation, because her music _is_ kinda annoying. But this noise, whatever it is, has been keeping me up nights, even after everyone goes to bed. So I don't think that's it.

[x-kitten.livejournal.com]

Jubes still keeps psychotic hours, but we make her use headphones at night.

...

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

I thank God -every- time I hear her play the violin that she does not practice where anyone can hear her.

[x-colossus.livejournal.com]

Then I'm afraid I don't have your answer. Do you know where the noise is coming from?

[x-cypher.livejournal.com]

I think Miles has helped me figure out that it has something to do with my power. Other than that, don't know.
