[Accidental video]

[morethanseeing]

[The video opens in Dee’s apartment, with Mag inside his kitchen. There doesn’t seem to be anything too unusual going on, just Mag going in to the kitchen and opening the cupboard to grab a glass off of the shelf. The only thing that might seem strange is that Mag’s motions are slower than usual, as if she were doing her best to be careful with everything in the kitchen.

Off-camera, there are the faint sounds of the front door opening and Dee dropping his keys off on the table. They’re just barely audible, though - Dee isn’t really trying to make too much noise, worn out from a day on the job. Stumbling into the kitchen, he notices the woman standing there and nods to her slightly.]

Hey, Mag.

[Unfortunately, Mag had let herself focus too much on being careful and hadn’t been paying attention. So when Dee stumbled in, she was startled slightly, and the glass goes tumbling from her hands, nicking the corner of the counter before shattering on the floor.]

Oh...God, Dee, I’m sorry, I got startled. [Her expression seems frustrated, but she immediately crouches on the floor, her hands sliding across the kitchen floor -- she doesn’t immediately pick up the shards, instead sliding her hands over the tiles in order to feel for them. Her eyes don’t seem to be focusing on the floor, instead staring straight out while she tries to sweep up the mess with her hands.]

Holy - no, it’s alright, let me... [Dee turns to look for a towel or a broom or something to collect the shards, not noticing the way that she’s trying to clean up after herself until he bends to help.] Mag, what the-- [Several expressions run over his face. The first, shock - what the hell is she doing, cleaning up broken glass with her bare hands? The second was more a combination of realization and horror, and Dee reaches forward to take her hands and move them away from the shards on the ground]

...you can’t see anymore, can you?

[Mag’s first reaction is confusion, and she talks to quickly when she answers:] What? I -- no, I just was being clumsy, that’s all... [Except her eyes aren’t focused, even as they’re aimed at Dee, and even before that she hadn’t noticed him in front of her until he’d touched her hands. There’s a wirey desperation in her voice when she continues:] I’m fine, I just made a mess with your kitchen, that’s all...

((Mag's eyes have officially stopped working and she is now 100% blind again. All replies are voice.))

...Mag... you don't have to hide it.

[morethanseeing]

It's not...I'm fine. My eyes are fine. [So, so, so in denial right now.]

[unknownrival]

No they're not.

[morethanseeing]

This is nothing. It's nothing to be concerned about.

[tryingtoholdback]

No friggin' kidding she doesn't have to hide it. What the hell?

[unknownrival]

It'll be fine. I'm sure of it.

I...won't ask if you're alright but please be careful. You could hurt yourself on the glass.

[morethanseeing]

I'm alright. ...Dee is helping me clean up.

Always video

[makewayforroze]

Your eyes...have they been hurt?

[tryingtoholdback]

Seriously! Bare hands with glass... Did she think I'd just sit back and not notice something like that?

[makewayforroze]

It's a good thing you were there to help.

Miss Mag? You posted by accident. Did you consulted a doctor?

voice

[morethanseeing]

No...no, I'm fine.

[p_a_r_a_d_o_x]

Mag, you are blind again. That is not being 'fine'. [He doesn't sound mean about it, just worried.]

[tryingtoholdback]

She's in denial, she hasn't even told her roommate, no friggin' way she's seen a doctor about it yet.

[p_a_r_a_d_o_x]

She's scared, it's understandable. Yelling at her won't help, Mr. Latener. [Yeah, he remember his name.]

[ video- even if she can't see him ]

[deadlydoctor]

What are you doing, human? [Have a voice you don't know, Mag.]

[morethanseeing]

Nothing. Being clumsy.

[deadlydoctor]

Right. And that's why everyone's saying that you are blind. Does that happens often with your people too? Just find someone to fix it.

[notasinglelady]

Mag!? You can't see at all?

[morethanseeing]

..no. No, I can't.

[notasinglelady]

You need to see a doctor, someone might be able to help.

[action forever!]

[tryingtoholdback]

You're cleaning up broken glass with your hands. The hell you're fine. [Dee's voice is stern, she doesn't need to see him to know that he's upset]

[action forever!]

[morethanseeing]

[She shakes her head for a second, shutting her eyes, because it's harder to make her eyes look focused when she's feeling overwhelmed.]

I'm fine. I wasn't thinking -- if you give me the dustpan I'll clean them up that way.

[tryingtoholdback]

No. [His voice is firm] You're going to tell me what the hell is going on here, Mag.
