Who: John Sheppard
Username: Pegasus
Warnings: gun violence; blood; talk of severe injury/death; supernaturally induced violence/aggression; mention of violence to animals; spiders/spider-bites; swarms of bugs/spiders; cosmic horror; induced madness; fugue state; body horror; PTSD; disassociation; paranoia;
[John does not look well. Haunted is probably the best description of his entire...everything, or maybe it's because he's still recovering from his injuries.]
Update on the blood river situation--there's a bridge made out of spider-webs that apparently can hold your weight. The spiders get upset when you stop for any reason, so you need to make it across fast.
Me and Rodney didn't exactly make it to the mystery building across the way, though. We had to stop for the night and--
--don't do that. Whatever you do, do not stay there overnight. It--
[He seems to be struggling to describe it. Something goes vacant in his eyes and threatens to take him back to that moment and he really can't be doing that on video, so he takes a deep breath and tries to calm down.]
Whatever is--there, whatever Dogtown is, it's-- [He can't describe it. How can he describe it?] --we shouldn't be there. They were angry at us. But there's something in that building across the river, I just know it. Maybe it's the answer to all of this.
[You know that thing about the Hunt where it's a fear that can manifest as obsession with pursuing a goal, chasing after something that can never be reached, and destroying yourself and everything you know and love in the process? That's it, that's what's happening.]

no subject
[It’s different talking about the Stars with Rodney, he hisses the word, like if he speaks it too loudly they’ll come back.]
They only came at night, right? So we’ll be fine during the day!
no subject
[Rodney winces when he says it, when he uses that name, and his eyes dart up towards the ceiling with a sudden restlessness and apprehension.]
How do you know? What if--
[He draws his shoulders up to his ears.]
What if we just got lucky? What if they can come out anytime?
no subject
...
...
Well.
That.
That is not something he considered or even thought of, so now he has a new fear. This might actually stop him from going back to Dogtown.
Thanks, Rodney.]
...you really know how to look on the bright side of things, don't you!
