[Garce manages to time it perfectly this time, and when he opens his eyes, Sasha's barely three inches from him. He tries backing up, but hits his head on the desk. Sasha backs away at the same time, tripping and nearly crashing into Tim.] ``Wh.. GAH!! ... oww....`` S: "[BLEEEEEEEPP]!!! WHAT THE [BLEEEP]?!" "Jesus!" [Tim managed to catch Sasha, minding where his hands were] "So that's how it works.." [Garce nods, coughing a few times. The streaks in his hair are lighter, and his eyes are almost pure white... Sasha gets up, a clear expression of "what the heck just happened" on her face.] "That’s kinda cool.." [Tim says, smiling ear to ear.] ``y-yeah... thanks..?`` [He manages to stand after a few seconds, still leaning on the table, but careful not to shut off the recording like Jon did.] "I like the streaks. Make you look like a punky goth." [Garce nods again, looking at Sasha.] ``Uh.. s-sorry 'bout scaring you..`` [Sasha still looks a bit shocked, but nods. Tim's hand goes over hers, he doesn't even realize he's doing it. Sasha doesn't notice at first, then looks at him, pulling her hand away.] S: "Wh-!" "Oh! Sorry Sash..." [He blushes a bunch] [Sasha nods, looking a bit annoyed. Garce seems a bit confused.] "...What's with the mark on your chest?" ``...? oh.`` [He looks down, sighing.] ``That's what Jon mentioned before.. when he said something else was bound with us...`` "What caused it?" ``I.... I was cursed..`` [Sasha looks back at Garce.] S: "...?" "By who?" [Silence... from the look on Garce's face, it seems like he doesn't want to tell them.] "Too personal?" [Sasha glares at Tim.] S: "Ya think?" "Sorry for asking a question Sash!" [She's still glaring at him] "When were you this salty?" [She sighs, turning around, muttering something about needing a coffee.] "Ah, come on.." [Tim mumbled. She walks out of the Archives. Garce blinks a few times, looking down.] "Sorry about Sash.. she's not usually like this.." ``...its okay.. I've dealt with worse...`` "...like what?" [Silence...] "You should probably let Jon back in control.." [He nods, closing his eyes and taking deep breaths.. Jon is back in control moments later, coughing like he'll hack up a lung. Garce coughs as well, backing away from Jon.] "You guys okay?" *Y- /cough koff/ yeah..* "Just had to make sure.." *... ...* "I'm just gonna go... I've taken up enough time.." [Tim leaves the room.] [A few seconds after he leaves, Garce looks at the Archivist.] *I... don't know how I feel about this..* J: "...Me either... I just hope we aren't making a mistake.." + click! +
