[audio] @HK; set during the middle of the event! [open]
( Matt isn't big on the devices, for a multitude of reasons. he'll answer on occasion but most of the time he observes and doesn't participate. his username might not be familiar, even to the people who have met him. maybe his voice will be; that's the medium he chooses, it just makes delivery easier. )
I am sure we've all heard what is going around, that plenty of us are suffering from hallucinations. I know how real they must look, or hear, or sound.
( he's had at least a little of his own issues, mostly voices in his head. touches he can't explain. Matt thinks he might be getting off a little easier on this round of misery because he's blind. that's a first, but it also means he has a different perspective on the situation.
and while he's generally not big about talking about how he uses his other senses, in this instance? he feels like he should. )
If you don't recognize my voice, my name is Matt. If you don't know me yet, I'm the one with sunglasses and a walking cane. ( hopefully this is obvious enough a cue to imply he's the blind guy wandering around. ) I can't see what you are seeing, any more than anyone else can. But I can tell you that your other senses could help you decipher if what you are experiencing is real.
If you see blood, something dead, rotten, you'd smell it as much as you'd see it. If you can feel things on you, they can't just come out of nowhere. When things come towards you, they leave an audible clue, and it means something if you can't hear it.
The things you are seeing, hearing, feeling — they're terrible, and horrifying, but they also aren't real. Try muffling the sense that is troubling you most. It's already dark here, but a blindfold could help you ignore what isn't there.
( and because he realizes it isn't easy to rely on senses without practice, ) And if it seems real and you need help figuring out what you can trust, maybe I can help.

despite being confident (and rather cocky), kol immediately and sincerely doubts he'll be able to find those holes and poke them so hard they dissipate at once. but he has faced impossible odds before—after all, what he's being haunted with are moments in his life he has survived. ]
How often have you been noticing the difference and poking your fingers into these holes? [ kol has a feeling it's a small number. people who often give out advice are the ones who find it tough to follow it. ]

None of my hallucinations have taken the shape of a memory. ( so, not at all, not really. ) I couldn't tell you if it'll work, but it's the best suggestion I can make based on what works for me.
( Matt sighs, voice a little tired. ) I hope it helps. I'm aware it likely won't.

[ it comes quick. kol isn't one who likes to build people up for the sake of making someone feel good about themselves, but he feels the impulse here. already he has a weapon against what's happening here, which is far more than what he had five minutes ago. ]
If I can ask—what have yours been of? Fears? Stories you've heard?
[ it has to be something he has a connection with, surely. from what kol's heard thus far from people, they've had some sort of intimacy with what they're being haunted with. ]

Mostly I'm hearing voices. Voices from home, before here.
