Mindbreak Pt 1: Big Portal Thingy In The Sky

*Van is having a coffee with Sal*

Van: So...have you spoken to Vibes?

Sal: I wanted to, but she wasn't about this morning.

Van: yeah. Think shes stressing lil out too. She wouldnt leave the kitchen

*Sal sighs*

Sal: We'd better get her to Anty. This is...disturbing.

Van: and worrying

*Sal nods*

Sal: I hate to say it but... I don't think I can take much more of her right now.

Van: ill watch her then. You get anty

*Sal smiles*

Sal: On it.

*She heads off*

Van: *tries to find vibes*

*Van tries to think*

Van (thought): If I was Vibes, where would I go if I was feeling upset?

Van: chili

*Van heads out to the cafe*

MEANWHILE...

*Sal explains what happened*

Anty: This is worrying on multiple levels.

Sally: i KNOW

* Anty sighs*

Anty: This was always a possibility.

Sal: What?

Anty: Think about it- how long could you stay sane with all those voices in your head?

Sally: i suppose thats a good point...

*Anty smiles*

Anty: I think I have something that could help.

Sally: really? What?

*He comes out with a tea*

Anty: This should help her go into a deep sleep, similar to a sensory deprivation tank.

Sally: perfect

LATER...

*Sal brings Vibes the tea*

Vibes: So you're here to call me a big baby again?

Sal: Why would I say that?

Vibes: You said it...

Sal: Was this in the dream you had?

Vibes: Yeah.

Sal: Here, Anty said this would help.

Vibes: Looks like sawdust mixed with crud.

Sal: Yeah well it's medicine, so drink it.

Vibes: i don't need it

*Sal tries to stay patient*

Sal: Vibes, you're really not helping. Dr Anty's trying to help you.

Vibes: ...fine

*Vibes knocks it back*

Vibes: OK, so I had some tea, not like that'll do any...

*She instantly flops down*

Sal: OK, let's get you in bed...

IN VIBES' MIND...

*Vibes is in a pool of green water*

Vibes (thought): Maybe Anty was right...this isn't so bad...

*The green water starts to sink around her*

Vibes (thought): W...What the...?

*Laughter echoes around her*

Sebiv: Foolish creature. He thought by using a sensory deprivation potion he could help you restore
your power. Unfortunately, it means you are now trapped!

Vibes: wh-wha?! You again?!

*Sebiv laughs*

Sebiv: Yes, I have been biding my time. And I sensed you, pushing yourself too far. All it took
was one silly decision...
