RP: Unraveling Threads
Characters: Tyler, Parker
Time/Date: afternoon, August 5
Location: Lobby
Warnings/Rating: None
Summary: Tyler worries, and wonders
Status: Complete

Tyler was starting to get really worried about Lily. He thought she'd been getting a little better yesterday, but today she was back to the way she'd been when she'd first told him and Jaime. He suspected a lot of it had to do with the fact James' wand was here, and she felt responsible .. even if none of it was her fault.

He kind of wished there was a shrink or qualified therapist around. Something, someone who could talk to her. He and Jaime had tried to convince her it hadn't been real, but she'd seen the video and they hadn't. She was clinging to that to make her point. That it was real.

Tyler ran his fingers through his hair as he wandered into the kitchen. He wasn't sure what he planned on doing, exactly, but he just needed something to do. To try to feel ... moderately productive.

From the kitchen, he wandered to the front of the lobby to check the guest book. It was then that he noticed Kara's name was no longer in it. He frowned a little, checking her room and cross checking it alphabetically ... but no, she wasn't listed anywhere. He wondered if ...

Well, he wondered what had happened without trying to think about everything that could have happened.

He flipped through the book, seeing if there were any new names ...or any other missing names. His brow furrowed a little before he exhaled softly, turning the pages slowly.

	Parker accepted the spoon with a tiny smile. She whispered,"Not yet, but in time. Won't spill the exacts through" since she knew she would be able to talk eventually. Parker blinked to try and clear the gunk in her eyes,"Others have had this happen?" part of her just curious and part of her hoping she was not alone in the demon facing.

"Just ... just Lily that I know of. Jaime mentioned ... someone else saw a video. I guess ... they're just trying to get reactions or ..."

Or break people. He thought that was the point of it. Lily was in bad shape, and Parker didn't look to be much better. It pissed him off and made him sad at the same time.

"This is the worst thing they've done so far, isn't it?" It was one thing to screw with the weather or play dumb music all day. But then ... Lily had gotten James' wand, and Reid had gotten the book ... those were only implications though. Nothing outright traumatic like the video had been, and like he assumed the dream had been as well.

Parker could only nod,"They know things, they know without the team they can do this. Its a test to see how far we can be broken". She finally confessed,"Been hiding in the closet since the dream" a sure sign she was as broken as she looked. "Not gonna tell anyone bout the dream, only 5 people have the right to know and they are not here" she whispered, part of her wishing someone from the team was around. Heck even Tara would do at this point.

Tyler wasn't completely sure he understood everything she was saying, but he was pretty sure he'd caught the gist of it.

"I ... I don't know how they know these things," he admitted. "They must ... they've got to research or something, to know how to strike at people." But how could they? How could they get the Book, or Lily's husband's wand, or make the video that they'd shown Lily?

Every time he thought they might have seen the limits of their captors, they threw in something else. Something worse.

He crossed to the fridge and got out the milk, assuming Parker would want it, and wanting to feel ... useful.

	"Would love to know how they found out the one thing I've never told anyone beyond a select few for one thing, they somehow found out after all" as Parker accepted the milk. She did want to pass out again but vowed that would not happen till she was back inside the closet, the closet was safe at least to her fragile state of mind. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Tyler smirked a little before he shook his head. "I'd like to know how - and why - we were all brought here, but I don't think we'll ever find that out," he admitted. He, right now, just wanted to wake up back home and be done with all of this.

But he didn't think that was going to happen, either.

"I think all we can do is just ... hope we don't get picked for whatever sadism they've got planned for the week, and ... try to help those that were picked." Which ... was what he was trying to do. More or less.

	"You and me both" Parker finally whispered. She was just as curious since out of the team she would not be the type (unless it was someone simply after her). She nodded,"That sounds like what Eliot and Alec would say" able to smile a little on the inside since she knew they would take care of her. She explained,"2 guys from my team".

Tyler nodded slightly, offering her a little smile. He wished he could be more helpful, but what could he do, really? He couldn't help Lily, and he probably couldn't help Parker.

The most he could do was listen if they wanted to talk, but ... that was really about it.

Still, he shifted to lean against the counter as he watched her. "So ... if there's ... if I can help, I'd be glad to," he said, wondering just how painfully pathetic that sounded. "I can' t... make it go away or anything, but ... I'm here. If you change your mind about talking."

	"Right now just knowing that helps" Parker finally got the words out as she loaded up her little stash of supplies. "Think I'll slip back upstairs before questions start up about looking like this and thanks" Parker hoped Tyler got what she was trying to somehow say. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Sure," he said quietly. While he was concerned for her, there wasn't anything he could do if she wasn't ready for help. "I'll be around," he promised before he moved out of her way so she could head out of the kitchen. Maybe he'd wander up and see how Lily was doing, or if Jaime had any plans for the day. "See you," he added. (Reply to this) (Parent)
