OTA - Um, what was I doing again?

[agathaheterodyne]

 Agatha had been working off of a schematic, trying to build a machine that had been requested, trying to keep herself focused so as to not add a million upgrades to the design when suddenly she stared at the thing in her hands in confusion. 

She wasn't sure quite what she was doing. Oh, she knew what she had been trying to do, to build the....whatever it was.... but she couldn't focus, couldn't think. If not for the lack of a headache, she would have been sure that her locket had reverted to its original function. She felt...stupid. Her head was fuzzy, and she couldn't reach the part of her mind she accessed when she built. She swallowed hard, trying not to cry in frustration.

At that moment, Dimo sauntered in, a plate of food in one hand and a dazed look on his now very human-colored face. Seeing the look on Agatha's face, the food was set down, forgotten, and the Jager rushed to her side. "Tings veird for hyu, too?"

The voice she knew, the accent unmistakable but.... she grabbed his shoulders. "What happened to you? Are you okay?" Why couldn't she think of thought one to fix this? Whatever this is.

"I iz fine," he rumbled, looking her over to make sure that all of the requisite limbs were in their proper places. "But hyu doezn't zound hokay. Iz zometing big dot's off, ja? Like dis?" He gestured to all of his distressingly human self.

She nodded and sank into her chair and put her hands in her face. "It's like being a child again," she whispered. One hand slid down to rest over her locket. "I can't think. I just.... it's like half my brain just... vanished... no headaches but.... no.... no.... Spark..." she whispered, terrified. Terrified because she was also wondering if the only way to fix it would be to take off the locket, since that was what had done it to her the first time....

Dimo's most immediate concern was the hand that held the locket. He brought his own to cover hers and gave it a gentle squeeze. "Leave it for now," he advised, shaking his head. "Ve vill ask around, cauze zometing fonny gots to be happening to leave de both of us like dis, ja? Don't vant to risk Her taking over if ve can help it."

She hesitated, then nodded. "It's just... I don't know if I can fix it like this... fix... anything," she whispered.
