ihearyouthinkCharles showed up at the hotel promptly at noon. He was quite eager about this experience and didn't want to be late. It's not long before he's knocking the door of the hotel room that Arthur occupies.

Date: 2012-01-07 06:08 am (UTC)As a demonstration, he has his fingers to his temple as he says,"Hand over your wallet." Arthur will find himself doing it as if on automatic. Though whether it is due to what he said just now or the previous alteration causing him to trust Charles is difficult to say.
He's not going to keep the wallet and returns it almost immediately once his point is made. "A handy trick but it can be slightly dishonest."

Date: 2012-01-07 06:22 am (UTC)...well, not a good person anyway. There was evil types of people in the world and Charles would have no problem using his telepathy against them.

Date: 2012-01-07 06:35 am (UTC)Something that Arthur finds makes Charles a good man. He's silent though as they walk. Letting the telepath take in the sights.
"It's almost time."
adding a little drama
Date: 2012-01-07 06:53 am (UTC)In fact, Charles has been so enamored with their surroundings, he doesn't realize a group of projections have been congregating behind them. He finds out the hard way when their path is blocked by more projections like a mob closing in. "...I get the feeling this is bad." Charles finds himself boxed in away from Arthur, two projections reaching to hold his arms so he can't use his hands.
Oh boy. lol Pulling a Mal.
Date: 2012-01-07 07:03 am (UTC)Though when the projections start converging on them, holding him back away from Charles it reminds him far too much of Cobb. Of what Ariadne told him that she went through.
"Leave him be!"
It didn't matter what he did to get away, it didn't work.
yup
Date: 2012-01-07 07:18 am (UTC)He could fight back, freeze them all in place but most likely it would put Attire on pause too. And the projections wouldn't take kindly to him coming back later.
So he makes an effort to keep calm and doesn't struggle back. He may not be able to reason with them but that doesn't stop him from trying. Or talking. "I realize you want me to leave, I can go just say the word...I'm not an enemy..."
They do settle a bit as he's not resisting, at least till one pulls out a gun from nowhere. Charles' eyes go wide and he braces himself for the unpleasantness to follow.
...and hopes that Arthur was right about not dying while dreaming.
The bullet hits him point blank, Charles falling down dead in the dream...and waking up with a jolt in the real world. His heart pounding in his ears.

Date: 2012-01-07 07:23 am (UTC)The moment Charles' person disappears he jerks away from his own projections. Jerks away making a gun of his own appear and shoots himself, waking with a gasp and pulling the IV from his arm. The one thing he forgot to mention to the telepath was how real it'd feel in the real world.
"Charles?"
Even as he says the other's name he pulls out his die and rolls it, relaxing only when it lands how it should in the real world before picking it up and pocketing it.
no subject
Date: 2012-01-07 07:28 am (UTC)He only breathes a sigh of relief when Arthur wakes up next to him, relaxing back in the chair for a moment. "Still here and in one piece...as far as I can tell." His enthusiasm had dampened somewhat about a return trip following that.
"Are you ok?"
no subject
Date: 2012-01-07 07:32 am (UTC)Still a bit panicked but he's glad that they're both okay. That they're in the real world and not the dream world. He didn't like that but then again he has a feeling he knows why the projections converged on the telepath.
"How're you?"
no subject
Date: 2012-01-07 07:41 am (UTC)Slow breath out, hand to his own chest. "And its always like that?" Charles now wonders if its the medication itself that causes the reaction. Without the pasiv he could do the same dreamsharing while awake. He has done it before with people and never had a problem.
no subject
Date: 2012-01-07 07:44 am (UTC)Or perhaps it was something else all together.
no subject
Date: 2012-01-07 08:03 am (UTC)He stands to stretch his limbs, still hooked to the IV so he takes care not to pull it. "I almost think I would do much better without the somnicin."
