Current mood: | friggin' terrified? |
Who? Jacen and Jaina
What? A backdated scene involving twin bond antics!
When? Backdated to sometime before the end of the plot (because my lack of internet is an annoyance that slows stuff down).
Where? Jaina's office.
Rating? Harmless.
Jaina hasn't been having the best week of her life. Between stupid conference calls, everyone in the office going mad, and then the startling number of suicides in the building, it seemed like everyone was on edge ... and then even more weird stuff started going on, with people seemingly having powers and having weird dreams (Jaina wasn't excluded from that one, but she'd been keeping that to herself, because her dreams didn't make sense, and she didn't really want to try explaining them)... and there's the whole 'ghost' thing, which, okay, maybe someone's drugged the whole building, or something, some kind of drug that makes people ...you know.. manifest crazy powers and have weird dreams... but these 'ghosts'? Totally just hallucinations.
She didn't believe in ghosts.
So while everyone else was off throwing salt around and hitting non-existent spirits with iron, Jaina was working. She'd taken the weekend off, and work piled up while she was gone, with all the others too busy ghost hunting, and now she had to get caught back up or risk getting her ass fired.
...Which at this point was almost a welcome thing, if it meant getting the hell out of this madness.
Jaina had been busy checking accounts - making sure none of these crazy people had made any errors in her absence, if they'd even updated them at all - and when she looked up, there was someone standing in front of her desk. Which, okay, maybe she'd just... spaced out a little, maybe she hadn't heard the door, maybe they hadn't bothered to knock and had just been rude and barged in - except for how this didn't look like anyone who worked here. Not that she knows everyone well enough to recognize them, but the man is wearing really old clothes, and he's snarling at her, and, okay, no, this isn't cool. She must have had whatever everyone else had, whatever drug is going around, someone put it in something and she took it without knowing because ghosts aren't real, except there's a slightly-transparent guy standing in her office, and Jaina panicked, jumping out of her chair and grabbing for her phone, not entirely sure who she planned to call for this sort of an issue, maybe the hospital because these are some serious delusions she's got going on, here...
The hallucination (it's totally not a ghost, okay? That's just, it's impossible) seems to move without moving, like the visual equivalent of a disk skipping. One second he's standing at her desk, the next he's close enough that she'd be able to touch him, if she'd had any plans on doing that - which, um, no thank you - and that the fact that he was reaching out to grab her made her make some kind of probably-stupid yelping sound and half-stumble, half-jump backwards... into the corner. Which was probably the least intelligent thing she's ever done.
Without really knowing what she's doing she put one hand out in front of her, and something like a shockwave or an invisible physical shove... happened, somehow, and things in the office sort of flew back towards the opposite wall. Of course, since this thing she was dealing with was a ghost hallucination, it seemed to have no effect at all.
