it was a long night

a very long night.

as far as i could tell, the way the illusion worked was that we both had these blocks in our mind. mine kept me from seeing alora, and hers kept her from seeing...well, anything. i had to get into her mind and break the block. that was really hard because...well, she was so scared, and i think she thought i was him. i couldn't reach her while she was in that state. that's why i put the laptop in front of her and asked you to leave all those posts. she read all of them, and once she realized that it wasn't real, she calmed down enough that i could start clearing away the block.

hers was so much worse than mine. that's why it took so long. i swear, it fought back. i was literally at war inside her mind.

i don't think slender expected me to be so stubborn. it took some doing but i broke through at about 11:20 this morning.

poor alora...she just started bawling. i can only imagine...twisting her worst fear like that...

anyway, i convinced her to skip class (it's a testament to how stupid she can be that she was actually worried about class attendance!) and get some sleep.

does anyone know how much blood you can lose through your nose? because i'm pretty sure i broke the record. i think i'm going to need a new shirt after this...

fun fact: apparently my powers can have the occasional side effects of migraine-class headaches and apocalyptic nosebleeds. i'm fine, though. just tired.

but enough about me.

she might post later, but i don't know. she's going to need some time.

anyway, just wanted to let you know what happened and thank you all. if you haven't let those posts, i wouldn't have been able to get her out, or she'd still be stuck in there. so...thank you. thank you so much.

and morningstar, i hope someone caves in your head with a crowbar.
