Leon flinched at a sudden pain in his eye, ducking his head to rub at it. What the fuck was that? Richie just looked at him, and it felt like he took a needle to the eye. He tugged at his shirt again, but it didn't seem to help. "What is this shit? What the fuck did you do?" His voice was all but a growl as he let his hands drop, fisted, to his sides, and squinted a glare at Richie. "Whatever. Just don't shoot that fat fuck."

Zazz watches a pair of crows in the tree above intermittently preen and caw. Birds were pleasant, but watching them would not cure him. He was overcome with the awful fear that always comes with his episodes- the fear it wouldn't pass. Zazz always became very aware of his own mortality when ill or mentally unstable.

Albert- "Uh, so if Leon 'took the sacrament' and that makes him cool, does that mean we all did and we can all skate?" Richie- "Don't be a pussy, Albert. JESSE! Just say what you did, so everyone here can know why all this crazy shit is happening!" Jesse- "I took some of your Torpor stash! Jessie put it in the stupid candies, alright? We thought it would be fuckin' funny, and ain't it?" Richie finally put the barrel of the gun down, but kept it in hand in case of Jesse doing something stupid.Richie- "That's all you had to say, man! Get the fuck out of my sight." He gestured with the gun and Jesse grabbed Hiddle, running off into the night.

Richie- (put away the gun)"HEY ZAZZ, COME ON OUT! It's all over, man! Albert, Leon, stick around!"

Zazz kept watching finches. " When I'm good and ready," he thought to himself.

Of course, they can't hear what Zazz thinks to himself unless he thinks it out loud, and Richie gets annoyed.Richie- "Zazz, you are going to go to a very frightening place tonight, to see the truths mortals cannot see... You need to hear what I have to say or you'll be going in blind! It's dangerous!" Albert- "What in hell are you talking about? Was that, uh, 'torpor' candy a super slow-burning trip? Are we gonna freak out here?"

Zazz grunts at everyone. It seemed like he was feeling a little better.

Leon scowled at Jesse as he fled with Jessica - still squinting a bit, because his eye still hurt. "Yeah, what was that 'torpor' shit you mentioned?" He glanced around the benches for the wayward Zazz, but didn't really try to find the kid that hard. He didn't want to take his eye off Richie for too long. "You laced those candies with it?" His lips tugged downward. He'd eaten one of those things...

Richie- "Torpor is what my family's religious order uses to touch the Godhead. It's a sacrament, not a drug. I know the difference because I like both! Anyway, Jesse and Jessica stole some and laced those candies with it, so a bunch of people are gonna see Heaven with no spiritual preparation. You're my bros, so I wanna let you know before it's too late." Zazz, Leon, and Albert were all feeling ill, like they could definitely be on some kind of drug. It was absurd! They'd eaten the laced candy ages ago!

Zazz didn't do well on any drugs. Not even caffeine. Various doctors have tried putting Zazz on something over the counter, but nobody's found his match yet. Something tells him this wasn't going to be it.

Richie- "Hold my hands dudes, before you get lost. I'll be your anchor, but you have to trust me... You're about to start seeing things free from the illusions of the real. C'mon. Albert take this hand, Leon the other, and both of you guys hold Zazz's hands, OK?" Albert- "What's going on? Crap!" Richie- "Do it for your own good! Come on!" Albert took Richie's hand and held out his other hand for Zazz.

Zazz wasn't happy, to say the least. There are better people than Richie that Zazz hasn't trusted, and Albert's hands gave him the creeps. His eye twitches. He doesn't even remember eating a peanut butter cup. Fine. He'd play nice, but if things got weird Zazz was definitely going to make things worse.

Leon was not sure what to make of this - if Richie was just fucking with them. He seemed like the type. But he was certain he was on something - he was starting to feel pretty sick from whatever it was. "Gh. Whatever you say, man." He moved to take Richie's other hand, then held out a hand for Zazz. He wondered if the twitchy kid would actually take it.

Zazz played along and the circle was complete! Looking at each other, you can see bloody spots in each other's eyes, though they're a bit hard to make out in the crappy amber field lights, and could see that everyone's clothing seemed to be moving of its own accord like it was made out of snakes! You were already feeling like that before you joined the circle, but now you're close enough to see what it looks like in someone else.

The visions were strange, but it didn't feel like times Zazz had been out of control. "What would happen if we weren't holding hands?" he asks Richie in a calm, almost tired sort of voice. That's when things went funky!
