Dropped a file to you just now. It's raw footage of first contact with pre-Rising shrinks! Brought to you by Shaun Mason.

She did a good job of hiding her surprise when I started talking to myself. That moment of 'oh shit' before she cools her expression.

I'm trying not to make it a game to see how many times they'll refer me to someone else before one sticks it out long enough to make me their guinea pig. Wanna make bets?

	Depends on how similar shrinks are to eye doctors. Get any "Oh wow, you're nuts." yet? Are you okay? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	That's almost as horrible as 'wow, your eyes are bad.' That said, if a shrink ever said that to me that's the one I choose. Yeah, I'm okay. Just thinking about things. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	They do say that. After we've gone over the diagnostic files! Like I don't already know! Which things? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	They're your eyes, you would know if they're horrible. Every doctor likes to play State the Obvious, apparently. Anti-psychotics. Just.. how we'd manage that, because the requisite blood tests. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	They also scold me for not wearing my contacts. I know what I'm doing, morons. Could I do them? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Assholes. You'd have to. We're not letting anyone else do it. Guess you could have Marius make it official, since the shrinks probably want to cover their asses and have me monitored by an actual physician. To, you know, make sure my liver and stuff isn't doing anything stupid. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

No shit we're not letting anyone else do it.

Yeah, we'll ask Marius. I've lab-teched for him. Hell, I'm the one showing him a lot of the modern stuff, so it'd be kind of hypocritical for him to claim I'm not competent.

I'm not going to let you die from something as stupid as a failed liver, don't worry.

Are you sure you want to do this? I feel like I'm forcing you into it.

	Just punch him if he tries to deny you, that'll make him listen probably. The polls predicting my death would be so pissed. 'Failed liver' is not as cool as 'by zombie on a roller coaster.' No. I'm scared. But I don't think we have a lot of options. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's your answer to everything. They would be. You know, I've always wondered about the ones that bet 'old age' on our death polls. Weirdos. If you don't want to you, you don't have to, but if you do, I want to help. Even though I suck at it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	adaptvimmnities 2013-11-25 09:29 pm UTC (link)
	Because it's tried and true. Duh. How nice of them to think we'll make it that far. Guess our life choices just aren't exciting enough to warrant 'brutal mutilation/assassination.' I don't want to make it worse for you. And some of the side effects mirror early signs of amplification. That scares me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

The Relics would be so proud.

Mutilation? Where did that come from?

It's your mental health at stake, Shaun, and your body. It's your decision.

We'll look over all the options. You shouldn't take those ones; I have too much of a strong reaction to amplification, and I don't think it would help your mental state to be constantly thinking you were amplifying.

	The zombies, obviously. They like to eat people, remember? I know, can I just get rid of my responsibility again? I'll do it, I have to try at least. Head You isn't helping and I'm sort of afraid of waking up without either of you. What? You mean it might drive me nuts? Research is easy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	afterthendtimes 2013-11-25 09:53 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, right. I wouldn't consider that mutilation. Mutilation is intentional. Sadly, no. Also, tell Head Me to jump in a lake. If she's hurting you, fuck her. And fuck your brain for hurting you. Maybe. Also, I'm worried. What if you think you're amplifying and tell someone to shoot you and you're not? And they do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	adaptvimmnities 2013-11-25 10:03 pm UTC (link)
	She's been keeping me sane. She doesn't like that I'm trying to ditch her. God, George, I don't want to do that to you. Is this the right decision? Shit. Should I just try psychotherapy? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	afterthendtimes 2013-11-25 10:05 pm UTC (link)
	I know she does; you've told me. But you're not trying to ditch her, you're trying to figure out how not have horrible PTSD. And that means she wants you to stay sick and sad and angry and fuck her. I want my brother back. I'm sorry. I don't know. I don't know what to do, Shaun. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	adaptvimmnities 2013-11-25 10:17 pm UTC (link)
	You wouldn't do that to me. That's how I know she's not you. You'd never hurt me on purpose. It's okay. I'll try. We'll try with the therapy and do some research on the anti-psychotics before they try to dope me up. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	afterthendtimes 2013-11-25 10:19 pm UTC (link)
	Never. Okay. (Reply to this) (Parent)
