Characters: Janis & Open
Setting: One of the hallways, going somewhere, sometime this afternoon.
Rating: Probably SFW.
Summary: Janis has no voice, and though she has no idea who Job is? She is pretty sure even he doesn't understand her suffering.


Yesterday? Janis had a funny voice, like a mouse on weed or a canary on crack. Personally she found it a bit funny to listen to, and enjoyed the funny looks she got in class and how well, obscurely her spells had reacted when she tried to cast them. (Who knew a feather could bounce like that?!?) The sore throat didn't really matter too much, Janis was a trooper! She could fight her way through anything.

But that was yesterday, and this was today. Today that mouse and canary voice is completely gone, only to be replaced by a hoarse whisper and the occasional squeak. A squeak that was beyond useless when it came to calling, say, a pet mouse who had decided that her pocket wasn't the party place it was cracked up to be, and run between two benches in the hallway.

She layed there now, belly on the floor and feet in the walk-way as Janis tried, fruitlessly to call Cordaroy back. "Here cordy cord-y SQUEAK cordy..."

"Janis?" Molly was pretty sure she recognized the spindly legs and fluff of blond hair that peeked out of the benches. She had her backpack slung over one shoulder and the appearance of only half a person had stopped her in her tracks.

She crouched down to peer at the girl and try to figure out what she was doing. She could barely hear the hushed whisper and the squeak of her broken voice. "Hey. Did you lose something? Can I help?"

Trying to pull back and upwards caused Janis to bump her head, hard. "Ow!"

Nodding her head while rubbing the offended spot, Janis tried to reply once again. "Ye-" It's her voice Molly, first and foremost. Janis has lost her voice.

Molly winced as Jasnis whacked her head on the bench. She reached out and then pulled her hand back. Her instinct was to help, but there was the issue of personal space to consider. "Ow, crap, are you okay?"

But then when Janis tried to talk, Molly could hear that she was most definitely not alright. She stood and moved to the bench, sitting on the edge. "No voice, huh? So, yes or no questions, then." She thought for a moment and then spoke again. "Other than your voice, have you lost something?"

Nodding, lots of nodding when the question as to loosing something was offered. She tried to mimic Courderouy's precious little face, his cute little teeth and that thing he did with his nose when he was curious. All in all with her mime-like vocal achievements, Janis looked just this side of crazy.

Perhaps not speaking was a bad idea. "Cor- Corduroy!" Cue frantic pointing between the benches.

Molly watched Janis' pantomimes with some measure of amusement. But she was not very good at charades, particularly when they involved cute little rodents. She was beginning to shake her head to tell her she didn't know what on earth she was talking about when she heard the hoarse name leave her lips.

"Oh! Corduroy!" She slipped off her perch on the edge of the bench after shedding her backpack and knelt down to peer under the benches. Molly was good with animals, but there were some who didn't like her. It was just the way it was. Still when she saw the rat, she extended her hand to it and called in a soft cooing voice, "Heerree, Cordy boy. C'mere."

Finally! She got it! Janis quickly stepped back to allow the more vocal of the pair to try and get at him. The poor beast was mostly curled up and back against the wall, terrified of both being unceremoniously carried around as he was, and the fact that Janis sounded so weird.

At the second, non-crazed voice he crept forward a bit, Janis standing behind her bouncing on her heels. "He's ne-SQEEK done this before!"

The minute the rat stepped forward, nose twitching like crazy, little beady eyes bugged out, she snatched him up. She was gentle, grabbing him around the middle and then cradling him in both hands when she got him close enough. She held him against her chest and petted him lightly, still cooing before turning and holding him out to Janis.

"Here you go! Safe and sound." She grinned and settled her fists on her hips. "You sound like you need a tonic or something. Have you tried the nurse?"
