Ninth Verse: Accidental Video/Memory Leak

[wall_flower]

[When the video starts, all that can be seen is the face of a sleeping Marley clutching a stuffed Leomon doll close. Looks like someone had dozed off while scrolling through things on her D-Terminal and her hand had accidentally hit the recording button. After a moment, though, her brows furrow and she rolls over, sending her D-Terminal crashing to the floor.

There's static a moment before the scene switches to sudden darkness, almost as if the device has turned off. However, it doesn't take long for a bright light to appear. It takes on the shape of a rather large, yet nondescript Digimon. Its eyes are a burning red, and as it focuses on the screen, many bodies can be seen lying around it in a pool of blood. There's a sense of foreboding as the red eyes bore into those who continue to stare at the screen.

Static takes to the screen once more, and then completely goes black.]

[...Give him a second to figure out what the heck you're talking--Oh...that's from...]

I think...that's from the Dark Field. When Marley and Donnie and Ed went.

[revvinguptheharley]

Oh yeeeeah. She mentioned that before.

How's she doin'?

[wall_flower]

She just thought she was having a nightmare. It happens every so often, but she...I think she's more upset because the memory leaked onto the network.

[revvinguptheharley]

Well you let her know her favorite Doc is up late if she needs to talk.

[wall_flower]

[Hawkmon nods before the D-Terminal moves a bit. He can be heard talking softly for a moment, then everything shifts, finally focusing on Marley. It's obvious she just woke up not too long ago, but still, she answers.]

Doctor Quinzel? Hi. I'm--How are you?

[revvinguptheharley]

Oh you know, getting by. Have you noticed how decidedly screwed up alot of these memory post thingies are? Seems like everyone's got some deep dark secret or tragic memory they were trying to ignore till it got dragged out and lit up for the whole world to see.

You'd think I'd have more clients really.

[wall_flower]

...Not everyone is ready to admit that they might need help. Or they--Is it possible for some to see it as them being weak to ask for it?

[The way Harley says that…]

I’ve seen a few of what you’re talking about. I...wish I knew how to help them. You know?

[revvinguptheharley]

Well, like you said not everyone is ready to talk about it for whatever the reason.

I know some doctors wouldn't suggest encouraging denial, but sometimes it's ok to put off dealing with the heavy stuff, so long as it ain't screwing up your life too much.

So other then telling them to come see Dr. Q, you just gotta do your best to comfort them by being your sweet self, or distracting them with fun and happiness. Ease them into it.

[wall_flower]

Oh..okay. I can try, I mean...I'll figure something out.

[If it helps the others, then she'll have to try to do SOMETHING for them...]

Thanks, Doctor Quinzel.

[revvinguptheharley]

Hey, anytime! Gives me the warm fuzzies when I can offer my "sage wisdom"

[wall_flower]

Warm fuzzies are good. I like warm fuzzies.

[There's a small smile on her lips.]

Thanks for calling. I needed that...that reassurance...

[revvinguptheharley]

You bet! Anytime kidlet! Mama Harley is ready willing and able.

[wall_flower]

[Marley nods slowly before glancing at something off screen.]

Someone's here. We can...We can talk later? Next session?

[revvinguptheharley]

Yeah yeah sure sure! Go give Donnie smoochies or whatever you cute shy kids do. I'll go find someone else to pester.
