[ Kirk finally has his memory back, and with it, he remembers what last happened--or, more importantly, what had happened to Bones.

He rushes back to their room, worried. ] Bones? Bones, are you here?

Bones!

[For some reason or another, Bones took his journal along with him to Insolitus. It's been closed all this time- it hasn't helped, being down here, he thought it would help, make it easier if he was away and deep and hidden- but he remembers, and he remembers Jim, and he remembers the castle and he remembers the people in it, and it's still too much.

Slowly and carefully, like he's reciting from memory:] I am... deep down. And I do not make... a sound.

[boldlygoes.livejournal.com]

Bones? Oh thank God.

Where are you, man?

[curedrainydays.livejournal.com]

[Obviously Jim is not listening today.]

I'm here.

[boldlygoes.livejournal.com]

Where's here?

[curedrainydays.livejournal.com]

[Grumpy silence. See? See? Not listening.]

It's ill-defined. Doesn't matter.

[boldlygoes.livejournal.com]

[ HE IS D: D: ]

Ill-defined... the Four Seasons room?

[curedrainydays.livejournal.com]

[Uh-huh. Grumpy 'try again' noise.]

[boldlygoes.livejournal.com]

Gimme a hint.

[curedrainydays.livejournal.com]

Can't. It's outside the spirit of the place.

[boldlygoes.livejournal.com]

Not a small hint, Bones.

[curedrainydays.livejournal.com]

[Getting louder and agitated now.] It's not a game!

[boldlygoes.livejournal.com]

[ Which makes Kirk's voice even more desperate. ] That's why it's so important for me to find you, Bones!

[ grrrr ]

...fine. I'm just going to search for you... there's got to be a room I'm forgetting.

[curedrainydays.livejournal.com]

There's people, and they're hacked-off and splattered all over the castle and they needed- they need- remembering, and it's too damn much!

[boldlygoes.livejournal.com]

It'll be okay, Bones. Some people are remembering, like me.

[curedrainydays.livejournal.com]

[Silence. He's not so much with the reassured.




After a few long moments, the journal picks up a whisper.]

[boldlygoes.livejournal.com]

[ That's the one place he knew he was forgetting, but still couldn't remember... lingering side-effects? Who knows. ]

I'll be right there. Kirk out.

[curedrainydays.livejournal.com]

[Yeah, okay. Good luck finding him, Jim, because he's kind of deep in.]

[boldlygoes.livejournal.com]

[ It takes a few minutes, but eventually he's down on his hands and knees, crawling around and looking for his CMO. The journal's left behind, since he didn't want to worry about it ]

Damn, what I wouldn't give for a tricorder right about now... BONES! Can you hear me?!?

that. For however long they're here.

[curedrainydays.livejournal.com]

[Not especially close-sounding, but that could just be Insolitus playing tricks on him.] I can hear.

[boldlygoes.livejournal.com]

[ Kirk's voice is still raised, but since Bones is apparently in range, it's not screaming: ] But you can always hear now, can't you?

[curedrainydays.livejournal.com]

You're mixing definitions.

[boldlygoes.livejournal.com]

[ grunted out, this crawling is hard even though he's had experience ] Maybe.

[curedrainydays.livejournal.com]

You are. Next left. Watch your head.

[boldlygoes.livejournal.com]

Alright, I'm-- [ BUMP! ]

OW!

--on my way.

[curedrainydays.livejournal.com]

[yeah, he's making amused faces.] I told you.
