At first, Alana's mind just can't accept what its seeing.  It's impossible for something to be happening, so there must be another explanation.  Her mind continues working at a million miles a minute, but her hands seem to be under someone else's control.  They carefully brush her changing nose again, feeling the rubbery texture move slightly at their touch.  Her heart rate has picked up as her fear and uncertainty increases.  She takes a couple deep breaths, then turns back to Rene.<br/><br/>"Ok... whatever's happening can't be real.  That light must have some sort of hallucinatory effect.  Like LSD or something.  So we need to just remember that this isn't real... that it can't be.  Who knows what else it might make us see.  We just need to keep calm heads until it wears off."<br/><br/>Despite her logical words, Alana feels the adrenaline surging within her.  She forces herself to keep her hands in her pockets, away from her face.  She also tries to keep her eyes from looking into reflective surfaces, but keeps catching glimpses of herself anyways.
