Sam has somehow already gotten up, dressed, and has made her way to the kitchen, walking past the deadtimed Dani obliviously, and has started making her own food while whistling. Cheerfully.

Quinn looks at - well, doesn't, but, eh, metaphor - Crimson a little concerned. Well...I presume you weren't around when all of this happened, right? So...did your parents tell you stories about what happened?

******

Dani, noticing Sam already out of bed, looks a bit dissapointed, but hears cheerful whistling coming from the kitchen, and smiles. Slipping the plate of bacon-and-eggs into her bedroom refrigerator (), she starts back in the direction of the kitchen, trying to be sneaky...

Dani pauses, feeling a moment of frustration at being so easily foiled...then blushes at realising what Sam called her. And, smiling broadly, skips into the kitchen with the intent of jumping onto Sam's back and hugging her tight.
I'll guess I'll have to stick to teleporting if I ever want to surprise you, love...

-------

Quinn considers how best to phrase her next words....
Scarlet...did you ever think that was you were told might be, somehow, biased perhaps?

How have you seen it? Quinn presses gently, somehow sounding curious, doubtful, and comforting at the same time. Did they show it to you?

Well, I do, Quinn says with an encouraging tone. I'm a telepath. I could try to link with your mind if you wanted to show me? She smiles. If you don't want to I'll understand, though.

Sam is jumped upon, and holds Dani's arms as best as she can. That would probably do it.

Probably don't want to do it too much though, wouldn't want to scare you. Dani grins and softly kisses the back of Sam's neck. I was gonna fix you breakfast but it looks like you kinda beat me to it...

***

Quinn smiles and gently reaches to put her hands on either side of Crimson's face. It might be. If it starts to hurt in any way just let me know and I'll stop though, alright?

She closes her eyes (pointless though this might be) and gently sends a mental probe out in the girl's direction...

Crimson nods and waits quietly and obediantly.

Quinn reaches out with her mind and slowly finds Crimson's. Something seems... strange about it. Metaphorically, it would be as if it had gathered cobweb-like shadow cast over it. Her mind is her own, but there's something there over it.

As Quinn touches connects further with Crimson's mind, she begins to sense what it is she noticed early in the contact. It is almost like something else is gathered in her mind with her, just touching and whispering to her. It's presence is distant, yet overwhelming and dark. As her focus is drawn to it, the vague sound of whispering becomes more and more maddening, hypnotic and overwhelming. Finally it seems to notice Quinn, and whispers to her, but its mental presence might be too sharp and vivid to make it out- it's like looking at the sun. Hearing it and having it directed towards her is horrible.

If she manages to fight her way through it, or protect herself from it with some kind of mental shield, she'll be able to successfully connect and maintain a contact with Crimson's mind.

Daisuke walks into the greatroom.

At seeing Dani and Sam, he has what's probably the widest smile Dani or Sam have ever seen him with.

Dani! Sam! Good to see you two have reconciled with each other!

He'll then walk over to the kitchen and lean on the counter.

Vicki also walks into the kitchen.
Hey everyone. Have any of you seen Johnny today? He said he wanted to talk to me about something but I can't find him anywhere.
Vicki smiles at seeing Dani and Sam together. Yay for happy endings!

Tomorrow's another day, Dani agrees cheerfully, kissing again before letting go and dropping to the floor, going to wrap an arm around Sam's waist and squeeze her tight before heading to the fridge to see about the provisioning of lunch meat.

She giggles at Daisuke, then glances over at Vicki and smiles. Hi! I haven't seen him around lately actually...

-----

Quinn has had years of experience, howver she's never encountered anything quite like this. And she recoils at first, drawing back, but not completely, from the strange, maddening alien presence inside her young friend's mind, the effects of its attention magnified by her own horror at such a thing.

She takes a moment to gather herself, locking away, as it were, all the parts of her mind that she can, before pressing forwards again, pushing against the presence, aiming to break through to the mind trapped inside it.

Crimson isn't so much trapped inside of it as it is that the entity- whatever it is- is in some sort of constant contact with her, and getting to Crimson's mind inevitably involves opening themselves to whatever this entity is.
Strangely, it didn't show itself when her bond with Catelyn and Abigail was made. Maybe it only is obvious when others are trying to actually get into her mind, as opposed to contacting her...

Unusually, Crimson seems completely unaffected by the presence in her mind- there is no manipulation or strange mental issues that are obvious, at least.

Anyways, Quinn successfully connects with Crimson's mind, and she can feel that Crimson is unsure of what she should be doing, hesitating and just waiting for some kind of guidance.

Weird, it sounded like he needed to say something important. Oh, I have another question, but it's a bit.... personal.
Vicki looks a little embarrassed right now, only a tad though.

Quinn takes a moment to gather herself before 'speaking', mentally.
~Scarlet? I'm here. Can you 'hear' me, sweetie?~

Dani emerges from the fridge totally loaded down with lunch meats, which she drops on the counter before flashing Daisuke a quick, knowing grin, then turning to Vicki. Well, you can ask me anything! Well, almost anything... What is it?

Well, urm, do you think that...... Johnny likes me? Not likes me likes me, I mean likes me likes me.

And suddenly, Johnny teleports into the kitchen looking exhausted and like he's about to collapse.
Hi everyone.
Then he collapses.

Vicki rushes over to him and tries to check whether he's okay.
She sighs.
He's okay, he's just needs rest. He must have overexterted himself.

~It doesn't hurt?~ Quinn returns the smile, although much more mentally than physically, her body remaining almost still as she concentrates on her mental work. ~It was a little difficult. I don't want to stay connected for too long, just in case. Do you think you could show me what you...your ancestors, remember?~

-----

Dani eeps and hurries over as well. Probably. You should get him to the infirmary though, the drones will get him hydrated and all!
She pauses, looking down at Johnny.
Then up at Vicki.
Then back down, and back up again...
Well...I can't really say for sure, but...I think you do look kinda like the type of girl I think he'd like...

You really think so? Thanks Dani. You're the best.
Vicki tries to give Dani a friendly thankyou hug.
Then she picks him up, somehow and just looks at him for a while.
I can't help but say, awwwwwwww right now.
She struggles her way to the infirmary and puts him down on one of the beds, instructing a nearby drone that he just needs rest and to keep him hydrated until he wakes up. Vicki stays nearby to keep an eye on him and eventually falls asleep.

Daisuke walks over and kneels beside Johnny.

Well, the infirmary is probably a good idea. Even if you think he's okay, there could be problems that we don't know about.

I... wouldn't really know about whether Johnny Boy likes you or not, Vicki. I haven't really allowed myself time for that sort of thing.

Dani. I see you made up with Sam?

Sam blushes quite a bit at all the attention, and steps back to check over her gun. Not that she doesn't trust Dani, but somebody could have tampered with it.

Dani returns Vicki's hug with a smile. I'm always glad to help my friends...
Smiling, yet still looking worried for Johnny a little, she watches them go, then turns to Daisuke and nods. Yeah, we're alright now. Definitly alright. He might notice her cheeks turning pink before she turns away and, starting to hum softly, starts fixing one of her super-Dagwoods, smiling and glancing over at Sam occasionally as she works.
