[Oliver has clearly not been having a good time of it lately. by the look of him, he's recently been in a fight. with what, exactly, is anyone's guess, considering what the Plane is like at the moment. in any case, he has bruises under both eyes, with scratches and contusions on his cheeks and forehead. actually, any later Doctors might find his exact injuries uncannily familiar. they are, in fact, the very same injuries he had when the Doctor found him in an alley after he was unknowingly possessed by a particularly nasty brain worm known as the Puppeteer]

[at the moment, Oliver is wandering the edge of the forest. his hair is wild, and so are his eyes. his clothing is rumpled and streaked with dirt, and he has a very stormy expression on his face. he's glancing around as he walks, his eyes flicking from one direction to the next, muttering quietly to himself]

I thought I could--no, he thought he could escape. Or even fight me again. Hah! [laughs darkly] Like he could do that, broken as he is now. Idealistic fool. He lost before he even started. And now... [grins] Oh now, I just have to find someone, and it'll be worth every minute in this pathetic human body. [chuckles to himself, but the sound is callous, his face twisted into a very un-Oliver-like sneer] People are out here somewhere...

[ooc: Posting again because I have free time this weekend, and Farrah is persuasive I couldn't resist the hallucination plot! Unfortunately, Oliver's hallucinations have been too immersive for him. While he isn't physically possessed by the Puppeteer, he has experienced a hallucination of being possessed (complete with getting a little beat up, oops), and at the moment, he fully believes he is. He's even hearing its voice in his head. This means that, though he lacks the accompanying super-human strength and speed of an actual possession, he is currently unstable and ready to start killing. Be warned that he will attack others--in his clumsy, human way]

[Also, if Oliver hasn't already interacted with your character since his choice last week, please still leave contact info so I can ask a question!]

[oliverplus]

Sounds about right, then.

Yeah...sorry he said it like that.

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

Not your fault. Have you seen anybody else like that yet?

[oliverplus]

[Roxas, don't point out the obvious flaw in his theory!]

Uh...no, but I've seen a lot of other weird things.

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

[ But why not? >: ]

Like what...?

[oliverplus]

[frowns] People who look the wrong age, or who glow, or who are like...spirits. I can't even really see some people because there's something else there instead. It's just...weird. [and is bothering him, so he's been trying not to think too much about it--particularly now that he's found out from Sawako what his own true self looks like]

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

Spirits?

[ ... what does Oliver's true self look like? :o ]

[oliverplus]

Yeah, you know like...sort of glowing light.

[Not very nice.]

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

But not like a ghost.

[ ... ;; Oliver. ]

[oliverplus]

...no. But I haven't seen that many people!

[at least he has friends helping to sort him out?]

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

... maybe that's it. [ He doesn't sound convinced.

Also, yes! ]

[oliverplus]

I wouldn't worry too much. I mean, it's all symbolic. You know? [but he's not sure whether he's trying to convince Roxas or himself at this point. this is just as bad as Brax was]

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

[ He gives a quiet laugh before moving to one of the cupboards. ]

Yeah. It's just weird, you know?

[oliverplus]

[gives a short, nervous laugh of his own] Yeah, I know. I'm the one seeing it.

When I got the choice...I didn't think it'd be like this.

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

I wonder... what the choice was that led to the start of all this?

[ Grabs a bowl, then glances back to Oliver. ] Want one?

[oliverplus]

I guess that's what we've gotta figure out. Whoever that person was probably didn't know what would happen either.

[blinks] Huh? Oh, yeah. Cheers!

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

But if they haven't revealed themselves yet... who's to say they will at all?

[ He grins, grabs another bowl, then moves over to the freezer to rummage around. ]

[oliverplus]

That's why we've gotta try to figure out who it was.

See anything good in there?

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

Maybe we should see if one of those people you can only tell the truth to would want to help.

[ RUMMAGE RUMMAGE ] ... Aw, no sea-salt ice cream. There's a couple of other flavors, though?

[oliverplus]

[blinks] That's a good idea, actually. I wonder if they've been trying that.

[raises an eyebrow] Sea-salt? Seriously?

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

We should ask!

[ Gives Oliver a griiin. ] Yeah! It's really good, trust me.

[oliverplus]

Yeah, I'll have to do that! But knowing the Doctor, he's already thought of it.

Uh...if you say so. But what flavours are there now?

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

So? If we get more people on it, the faster it'll go!

Um... strawberry, neapolitan, chocolate...

[oliverplus]

Good point. We'll just have to find out whoever else made that choice.

Is it the sort with real strawberries in?

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

Right! Shouldn't be too hard.

Umm... [ Sticks his head in to get a closer look, then calls out— ] It is!

[oliverplus]

You think so? [if most people are anything like him, they won't be running around telling everyone about it. then again, it's hard not to notice the need to tell the truth]

Fantastic! That one for me, then.
