Indigo made a face. "He's kind of creepy," he said. "I mean, he can be nice, kind of quiet, but then he goes and does something weird and I wish I had like four more roommates so I didn't have to worry about who'll find my body in a week." He didn't really think he could go missing that long without at least Jory looking for him, but he was proving a point.

Sean looked over curiously at Indigo at the description, wondering. "Sounds like this guy I met. Well, I say met...I mean met and then hooked up with. He gave me like four different names and the next morning he kept you know, doing something weird. Uh, River, I think his name is, like the real one?" It was still weird to think about.

Indigo blinked and looked aside at Sean, stopping in his tracks. "River Savage," he said. "About this tall, dyed-blonde hair with dark roots, hazel eyes that change color a lot? Yeah, that's my roommate." Met and hooked up with.
"You aren't the guy he was going to meet the other day, are you?"

"Yeah, except see, I made plans thinking his name was Ezra, then I get this letter saying he can't make it but to meet his brother. Met up with him, and he looked exactly the same, but he said he was Ezra's twin brother, Destiel. The man climbed naked onto the roof of the inn we were at," Sean said, shaking his head. That wasn't even the half of it, either. He still got a little shiver when he realized he could very easily have been hit with a table the next morning.

Indigo's eyes widened, and for a few moments he stood just trying to process all that. "He told me about his brother," he said. "But like, his brother." And his brother was actually him. Indigo's mind felt like it had been twisted the wrong way. "So is he like, crazy? I mean, I just room with him."

"I dunno, when we woke up the next morning, he said his name was River, had no f~ing clue what'd happened. Then things went a little crazy...and in the end he started acting like some kid, calling himself Fox. I couldn't leave him alone, you know? I think he needed help, so I took him to the hospital wing." Maybe River was crazy, but Sean felt better for having sent the guy to get help rather than just running. "I feel bad for him. He didn't seem to know what was going on at all. Still scary as hell, though."

"Eff-oh-Ex," Indigo said. "Oh my god, I was telling Jory about him, how sometimes he'd talk like a kid in his sleep. Spells fox like it's the most important thing ever. I feel like I could make a what does the fox say joke here, but like..." And the guy hadn't known what was happening. That was scary.
He pulled out his phone again. They were close enough to town for him to get a signal. A swipe and a tap, and he spoke. "Multiple personalities," he said, and Google did the rest for him. He tapped the second result and offered his phone to Sean. "I hadn't thought of it before because it all just looks like he's acting weird, but like, does that sound right?"

Sean skimmed through it, thankful he had at least some idea of what technology was like and could focus on the content. "Seriously, yeah," he said, nodding. "Serious mood swings, and it was like a completely different person from one minute to the next. I think he's going to see my brother, so hopefully he'll get some help." He wondered if he should regret sleeping with the guy more than he did. It was hard to regret something that had felt so good.

"You might, you know, give your brother a nudge," Indigo suggested. "And I've got my laptop with me, so when we get to the coffee shop we can really look this stuff up. I mean, Multiple Personalities, or whatever WebMD's calling it, is like a big thing. My mom has this book somewhere about this woman with like a hundred personalities. I haven't read it though." He might have opened the cover and tried, but it started out boring and at the time, he hadn't been willing to wait for the good stuff to happen.

"I'll let Scott figure it out. I mean, counselors and therapists and stuff, they're not supposed to talk about that kind of thing unless they get permission," Sean said. "I probably shouldn't have even told you he's going to see Scott, really." His eyebrows came together as he considered that, but after a moment decided it was okay to mention to the guy's room mate. "I mean, it's personal, right?"

Indigo's brows drew together. "Yeah," he said, "but like, we're talking about my roommate. And some guy you're with. It's like, just because someone's getting help or something doesn't mean no one can talk about them, right?" He took back his phone and skimmed the page he'd shown Sean. "So like, your brother can't talk about him, but if you told him you thought it was this, you're just helping, aren't you?" Or trying to. Or Indigo could have just pulled something up on the internet and it could be totally wrong. Maybe even offensive. He frowned.

"Maybe," Sean said, reaching up to rub at the back of his neck. "And I'm not really with him, I did ask you out and all. I just figure that you know, I wouldn't have wanted people talking about me." He shook his head roughly to clear his thoughts. "Sorry, I'm an idiot, I'm the one that brought it up in the first place. Obviously I can't feel too badly about talking about it."

Indigo shrugged. "Everyone draws a line somewhere," he said. "I think like, I'm just glad someone else knows about this crazy stuff. I mean, I told a friend and he said I should see if I could change roommates. I ah, never got around to it." There was a lot to do already, and he spent enough time at Jory's place that he only really remembered his roommate when he was going to sleep or change or get something.

"Well, if you ever need to get away, Jai's practically never in the room, so you can always crash in my room," Sean offered. He knew that the likelihood of the guy choosing his place instead of Jory's, but he didn't see anything wrong with offering. "I promise I won't try to hit on you or anything," he added, smiling.
