There's an incessant throbbing in Piper's head that just won't go away.

She groans, and opens her eyes. When she does, things start swirling uncontrollably, and the urge to hurl is great. Piper closes her eyes, bites her lip, and rolls to the side until it passes.

Something feels wrong here. It takes her another second to process the fact that she's lying on a cold stone floor, that she's naked, and that her fingers are stinging. Badly. Opening her eyes again, she sees that her hands are bloodied, and that several wooden splinters are still embedded in them.

"How--"

And that's when everything comes crashing down on her - all the memories of the past day, what she's done, what she's become. "No. Oh... oh god." Piper spots her tablet and kicks it away from her, before scrambling to the very corner of the dungeon. She slides down, hugging her knees to her and resting her forehead on them. She doesn't even resist the urge to tremble and sob.

Hey, girl.

Charles?

The one and only.

How you feeling?

[ she doesn't remember encountering him when she was a wendigo. maybe... maybe he doesn't know? ]

Honestly? I've... I've been better.

How about you? Seen any... weird stuff lately?

[Encounter him? Nope, but...]

I've heard some things.

What kind of things?

Just things.

You need anything? Where are you, anyway?

[ she looks around her. dungeon, she wants to say. clothes would be great right now, she wants to blurt out. but she can't. isolation is best for her right now. ]

Don't worry, okay? I... I have everything I need here.

[He's not sure he believes her. In fact, he knows he doesn't, but..]

Find me when you're feeling a little better, alright? I'll buy lunch.

[Hey, she was friendly to him once, and she kind of sounds like she needs that same kindness in turn right about now.]

[ it'll probably be a long time from now, but... at least it's something to look forward to. ]

That'll be nice, Charles. Thanks.

[ then, she locks the feed because request, she has one. ]

Can I... can I ask you something?

I know... I know this will sound strange but... do you believe in monsters? Or demons?

Huh? Yeah, of course. Why do you ask?

[ ...she expected questions, to be honest. something along the lines of, 'what are you talking about, demons and monsters don't exist!' but at least... this is easier. ]

Next time you hear that weird things are happening again, and if they are caused by a Wendigo? I'm asking you to kill it. Through fire. Okay? Don't ask, just do it.

Can't make any promises, I'm sorry. Not exactly safe to go around flinging an axe at everything that growls here.

I can show you a picture of it. [ desperate? why yes, she is. ]

Or I could just help someone lock it up until it stops attacking people.

Don't you understand? It could kill people! Even your friends. [ she even attacked wesley, for god's sake. ]
