[T'Pol sounds incredibly tense. She also sounds like she's about to lose her grip on everything because, lol she is. :| EMOTIONS ARE EXTRA HARD ON VULCANS, OKAY, THIS IS LIKE LOSING HER MIND. She's past trying to find solitude, because it isn't working, she's past trying to sit and meditate because it isn't working, so clearly it's time to try thinking outside the box.]

Is anyone having particular success in coping with this flood? I don't-- [Her voice kind of died mid word there so she stops, trying to gather herself, and for a second there's just some audible breathing; T'Pol's trying to use all these calming breathing techniques an they aren't doing jack for her.]

I am not handling it well.

[Private to Trip]

I need your assistance. [Lol this will be a giant mistake.]

[Private to Dean]

[She's making a solid effort to get herself under control before she sends this, but. You know. It's hard.]

Thank you. For distracting Lizzie, during the flood.

[Gosh Dean, why didn't you say so in the first place. She takes a moment to reply because damn, he is good at making her frustrate.]

I would appreciate it.

[He's actually heard that Vulcans are allergic to Winchesters. Also, Being Frustrating is the third item on his resume.]

Then tell me where your room is and I'll drop 'em off.

[Mostly just Dean Winchesters. They're liable to make her sneeze.]

Level six, room eight.

Gotcha.

[Dean is a joy to be around, he's not even sure what you're talking about, T'Pol. And how about this; he doesn't even try to be obnoxious this time. About ten minutes later there's noise outside her door, then a soft knock, and then deliberately loud bootfalls tromping away down the hallway. The promised mechanics' sound-cancelling headphones are there whenever she looks after that.

He doesn't even try to talk to her, or contact her again over the network, unless she does first. Because he has class.]

[Very classy. She waits for him to leave before she slides the door open and retrieves the headphones. She'll thank him later, when she isn't trying to focus on her breathing or keep from being swept away by other peoples' emotions.]
