[Becca stares down at the device in her hands, a puzzled expression on her face.]

Is this Hell? But... I'm not dead yet. I've got another week yet... Or did I forget my last days on earth? I don't...get it. I don't get it at all. Where is everybody? And what do I do now?

[She hopes that people will take pity on her and help her because she's fifteen and pathetic-looking. That and her massive entitlement complex, but that's another matter in and of itself.]

And eventually it'll end with me going right back when I came from to be where I'm supposed to be on Sunday.

[doctor_dragoon]

[Frown.] ... Probably.

[pencilpremonition]

[Oddly enough, that seems to comfort her a bit. Only a little bit, though, since she sighs sadly again. She forces a smile on for him, though.]

You must think I'm super weird.

[doctor_dragoon]

[He laughs lightly, glad that she seems to be calmer now.] We're all pretty weird here, actually.

[pencilpremonition]

Yeah? Like how?

[doctor_dragoon]

Have you ever met an exorcist before?

[pencilpremonition]

I thought that was just a movie.

[doctor_dragoon]

That depends on who you ask, but this place is full of them.

[pencilpremonition]

What about...people with powers?

[doctor_dragoon]

[Nodding.] That's not usual here at all.

[pencilpremonition]

Do...you want to see your future?

[Do you want to deal with a fresh panic attack when she discovers her powers are gone?]

[doctor_dragoon]

[He blinks for a moment, thoughtful. He was pulled in from a pretty touchy mission, but things seemed to be going... alright. He's honestly not sure if it's something he should explore.]

... How does it work?

[pencilpremonition]

I just...look. Then I draw what I see.

[She pulls a battered notebook out of the satchel at her side.]

[doctor_dragoon]

[He contemplates for a few moments more before nodding hesitantly.]

... Alright.

[pencilpremonition]

I've...never done this in front of somebody before. I know I always fall down, so like...don't freak out or anything.

[That's all the warning she gives. She closes her eyes, focuses, and..........nothing seems to be happening.]

[doctor_dragoon]

[He readies himself to catch her in case she tips off of the chair, just watching curiously. He's not sure if anything's supposed to be happening, after all.]

[pencilpremonition]

[Her face knits in confusion, and she starts taking deeper breaths.]

Why isn't it working??

...I can't see...

I can't see anything...

[doctor_dragoon]

[Oh, dear. This doesn't seem good.]

... Has that ever happened before?

[pencilpremonition]

[She opens her eyes, taking deep breaths to try to stay calm.]

No...never...

[doctor_dragoon]

It's probably this place...

[pencilpremonition]

I didn't see it coming and now I can't see anything? I can't see anything??

[Her breathing starts getting erratic, like she's having a panic attack.]

[doctor_dragoon]

[Oh, eff. He reaches out to place a hand on her shoulder, trying to draw her attention.]

Hey, take deep breaths.

[pencilpremonition]

I have to be able to see... I have to be able to see...

[She tries taking deep breaths, but it's getting hard to breathe. She can feel her heart going batshit with panic already.]

[doctor_dragoon]

[The other hand goes to her other shoulder and his tone gains a stern edge as he tries to gain her attention.]

Becca-san, look at me.

[pencilpremonition]

[She whimpers when he touches her shoulder, but she dutifully looks up at his face. She's still struggling to breathe, but she's doing her best.]

I have to be able to see...
