The Journal of Doug Ramsey

*snorts and leaves you two to it*

Um, I'm not sure. Manny's power works on animals, sort of - you should see him and Frank together, it's a right laugh - but if he started reacting to the whole cicada orgy that's going on out there, I think I'd have noticed. ;)

From:

I saw Manuel use his power on horses once. It was ... actually, a tad distressing at the time.

I am just suprised that Miles has not introduced Ed to Manny yet. He seemed quite intent on introducing his new bug friend to everyone else. Took me quite by suprise with it.

From:

He did? Oh yeah, the fire. An' that wasn't long after... Ah. *backs away from the difficult topic* Miles might well have introduced them, I just haven't heard 'bout it. Contrary to popular belief, we don't share everything. *wry grin*

From:

The fire. In the long run? It helped a little.

You don't? Clothes, food, a lizard, activities best left undescribed...

From:

Oh, good.

You forgot emotions and the occasional dream. Apparently the link's getting deeper and we're starting to get into each other's heads. It's... unsettling. But the magic's still my own, tho'. ;)

From:

Oh, and a room. Share that as well.

From:

Someday they're going to give Manuel a roommate, and won't -that- be awkward?

From:

I have it on good authority that I'm completely insufferable. And I'd hate to leak all over this hypoth - this pretend-roommate.

Could be downright tragic.

Manuel

From:

Do you get a say in the matter? We did not when Monet moved into the fourth part of our room.

From:

I'm also at a delicate juncture in learning control.

I will _find_ a way. I like living on my own. It's not like we don't have a dozen or more unused rooms - it's silly to make people quad-up when entire _wings_ of this house go unused.

Manuel

From:

I think it is like, an extra secret class. "How not to Strangle People Like Certain Rich Girls I Know Even Though you Really, Really Want to Sometimes."

From:

I think .. I am very glad that Doug and I do -not- have anything like that. It would be distressing to be inside his head.

Are you and Manuel going to be allright?

From:

We're getting used to it. Mostly. They just stepped down the dampener again, so we get the whole fun with him mirroring me again, but we're sorting that out. And he's working hard to get it under control.

It's odd, I thought I'd be a lot more freaked out by the idea of having someone in my head, but I'm not. It's... sort of nice, actually.

From:

Is THAT what he was so happy about the other day? He was practically skipping around. Not that Manuel would skip, of course.

I can kind of see that it might be reassuring. It would certainly give one the chance to remove some doubts...

From:

*snorts* Yep, that was why. And no, he doesn't skip, but that was pretty damn close. Sort of cute, but you didn't hear that from me. ;)

Yeah, 's good especially with the dreams. Tho' it does set up a whole bunch of new doubts in exchange for the old ones. *wry grin* Still, I wouldn't want it gone.

From:

Of course not. Not a peep out of me. Of course, this isn't my journal, and the cute sleeping blond about 2 feet to my right probably gets these comments in email...

From:

about what was appropriate to share and what is not?

You just crossed it.

Manuel

From:

That would explain what I just felt down the link.

Email?
