[ Alex has tried and failed to find Sofia, and her room is a little more bee-filled for his trouble. His other options? Metal guy. Who knows where he lives? Sinclair. Armed. He'll be on his guard. No good, no good, where does he go?

The hunt for the murderer's still afoot, right? The spliced-up murderer. What might he leave lying around his room? Something bright? Something delicious? It's worth a shot.

He'll have to be careful. Not show his hand too soon. Might get thrown off the case.

So he leaves the video off.

...Because without the video there's no way to tell that he's different. Riiight. ]

Nao-to?

[ ...ESPECIALLY NOT if his voice is tense and a little bit singsong _{shut up}. ]

Nao-to...?

((ooc: action tags are welcome; he's using a wall comm on the tenth floor.))

*Masky hasn't gotten very far. It's difficult to walk when everythings reversed. And then he's enveloped in a frosty mist that coagulates and solidifies around him freezing him in place.

The masky-statue is not pleased with you Alex.*

[ The masky-statue can suck it!

No, better. The masky-statue can sit there while Alex lifts his hand to hit it, brings his foot back to kick it, pummel it until it breaks, smash it into little pieces, kill -



- kill?

He sways on his feet.

The air is screaming again. This little fuck attacked him and he deserves to--

Something rises in Alex's mind, unbidden: the name Seth.

What the hell?

Then he realises, and it expands: the fact that Seth is probably dead, permanently real-world dead, because of Alex, and that's if he's lucky; a memory, not a feeling, but a memory of horrible heavy guilt. And he can't think well enough to know if this is different.

Frustrated, confused, he waves his arms and sends a blast of wind into the masky-statue, making it skid down the corridor away from him. ]

[action that's never been cold before]

*The masky-statue slides away from Alex, which is an absolutely horrifying sensation for the man encased in the ice. He can't move. He can't breathe. He can't change the direction he's looking. He's panicking. Why can't he move? He needs to breathe, he can't. His brain just yammers at him: You're going to die. You're going to die. You're going to die.

But just as Masky starts to lose consciousness from the lack of air the ice starts to crack and break away. He collapses to the ground drawing in huge gasps of air. What is .. ? He's shaking from the cold but, having never experienced the sensation before, has no idea what's going on. Before he's even fully thawed he's dashing into the nearest room and closing the door behind him. He leans against the door hoping that Alex won't follow. He wraps his arms around himself shivering, unsure what's causing it, or how to fix it.*

[ Masky's in luck: by the time he thaws, Alex has gotten distracted by another conversation (http://40410.livejournal.com/4916.html?thread=289844#t289844), and doesn't see him slip away. ]
