[Roleplay] The Rebuilding - Continuation of The Aftermath

[CommanderLeahShepard]

I grab the bag and cringe. "So...er..."
*fades to black XDDD*

(G'night guys)

 

[toxapex]

I wake up, and decide I need some fresh air. I've been cooped up inside for too long, and I feel like I'm being suffocated by all of the changes that have been happening since the coma. I'm not sure, but as I exit the complex into the street, I start to kind of miss the simple, empowering world of the experiment...

 

[Myst]

I sigh, thinking to myself. I just hope Jean doesn't follow me...

 

[toxapex]

After sleeping through the night, I wake up suddenly. I look around the room. I see Orion, and smile. I wonder if he understands me. I don't understand me. I don't know who I am anymore... I want to be who I thought I was... I dispel these thoughts, and go back to sleep.

 

[Myst]

I finally park my car somewhere on the edge of town. I get out and sit on the hood, looking out towards the ocean. This reminds me of when Helix stopped me... I sigh. What am I going to do with him? He needs a life... I need a life. What are we even doing anymore?

 

[toxapex]

I realize that I have to pay for my apartment. Which I should actually use for once, I think to myself. I decide I need a job, so I can stop myself from getting too 'clingy' with the group. After all of this is over, we need to go our separate ways, after all... don't we?

I decide to apply at the Deep-Fry Savant, which surprisingly touts a 'HELP WANTED' sign. I have a quick interview, and I'm immediately put to work. They must be desperate.

 

[Myst]

I lie back on the hood of my car, watching the clouds, while I start to grow misty-eyed. I sigh. Why must everything be so unfair?!

 

[Naiad]

(( what happened? .-.

o i see they're doing the meaning of life thing))

 

[toxapex]

When I get a break, I realize that Sage probably doesn't know where I am. I don't want her to think I ran out again or something, so I call her.

 

[Myst]

I pick up my phone a bit surprised, my voice shaking a bit, "Hey."

 

[toxapex]

"Hey, Sage." I say. "Just wanted to let you know, I went out for the day and got a job to pay for my apartment... it's at that takeout restaurant we camped out in when we were in the coma."

I register the tremor in her voice. "Hey... is something wrong?"

 

[Myst]

I sigh. "I'm fine. By the way, you don't need to call me everytime you leave. I don't want to be that kind of girl who obsesses over every little thing her boyfriend does."

****... I called him "boyfriend"... I don't even know what we are...

(Btw, Sage is rich because she received money when her mom died.)

(Where is Sai?)

(By the way, my bedtime is 11pm-11:30pm. Depends on the time I get in my room.)

 

[toxapex]

"Oh, okay..." I reply. "Well, if there's definitely nothing on your mind, I'll talk to you later?"

 

[Myst]

"Yeah. It's not like I'm watching the ocean and wondering how it would feel like to drown... Bye, sweetie!" I quickly hang up.

I jump off the hood of my car, walk over, and lean over the fence, the only thing stopping me from certain death, mesmerized by the sight of the ocean.

 

[toxapex]

"Wha-?" I start, but then notice she's hung up. What a great image to have for the rest of the day... In spite of myself, I start to worry for her.

 

[Naiad]

(Where is Sai?)
(By the way, my bedtime is 11pm-11:30pm. Depends on the time I get in my room.)

(( Working in the hospital. I sleep around 11 PM PST. ))

 

[Myst]

(Sai, stop her? ;D )

(Or I can just have Sage stop herself... Idk...)

 

[Naiad]

I sigh as I walk to the break-room. "The ER is the worst." I stretch. ".....I wonder if they've broken something by now. They've probably broken something by now."

---

After what seemed like hours of internal debate, I decide to call Sage.

 

[Myst]

Just as I was about to hoist myself over, I hear my phone ring. ****. I pick up, sounding a bit irritated, "Yeah?!"

Ugh... I was so close... So... So... Close...

 

[Naiad]

"I'm on break from all the chaos, wanna meet up? I should have a few hours."
