I'm in trouble for the things I haven't got to yet
Posted: Fri Jul 24, 2020 9:12 pmSam walks down the hallway, still sweaty from the gym. Frustration is roiling off of her as she knocks on Colette and Tereza's door.
Xaviers!
Summer of... something?

Posted: Fri Jul 24, 2020 9:19 pm"Just a minute," Tereza's voice comes from the other side of the door, almost like she's trying to get herself in order. After a moment, the door opens. "Felt you coming. Something wrong?"

"But shite's piling up, you know?"

Posted: Fri Jul 24, 2020 9:30 pm"She's not here at the moment, but wouldn't matter either way."

Posted: Fri Jul 24, 2020 9:31 pm"Just getting my neurosis out of the way up front, aye?" She says as she steps into the room.
Re: I'm in trouble for the things I haven't got to yet
Posted: Fri Jul 24, 2020 9:35 pmTereza glances again and shuts the door behind her. Her desk is mostly organized and there's some homework sitting out on its surface. "Sure you've empty the whole trunk on that?" She gently teases.

"You heard about the mission going pear-shaped, right?"

Posted: Fri Jul 24, 2020 9:43 pm"And we had the bloody fantastic timing to arrive right when there was a jailbreak."
Re: I'm in trouble for the things I haven't got to yet
Posted: Fri Jul 24, 2020 9:48 pm"A jailbreak?" Tereza's muscles tense.

Posted: Fri Jul 24, 2020 9:52 pm"We weren't... in the path of it or anything. They did some damage on the way out, but they didn't go after us."
"But she's out," she says, not bothering to say who.

Posted: Fri Jul 24, 2020 10:04 pmTereza grinds her teeth, which are a touch sharper than they could be. "So we need to be prepared then?"
Re: I'm in trouble for the things I haven't got to yet
Posted: Fri Jul 24, 2020 10:08 pm"She's..."
"I don't want to say she's not dangerous, but she's not coming for us. Not this time."
"It's more that she's running from something."

Posted: Fri Jul 24, 2020 10:10 pm"Wonderful," Tereza said, "Something even she's scared of."
Re: I'm in trouble for the things I haven't got to yet
Posted: Fri Jul 24, 2020 10:12 pm"And... something she accidentally gave both our scents to."
"So it's not her we need to worry about."

Posted: Fri Jul 24, 2020 10:15 pm"So any idea what this thing is?" She starts fidgeting.
Re: I'm in trouble for the things I haven't got to yet
Posted: Fri Jul 24, 2020 10:18 pm"Well here's the real trouble."
"It's me. As much as she's me. It's some terrible, broken, fucked-up me without a body."

Posted: Fri Jul 24, 2020 10:34 pm"That's... not good," Tereza says, looking at the floor.
Re: I'm in trouble for the things I haven't got to yet
Posted: Fri Jul 24, 2020 10:36 pm"I know it's... a lot."
"We're all connected, it seems. Somewhere deep in us, some well we all draw from."

Posted: Fri Jul 24, 2020 11:19 pm"Okay," Tereza says, not quite understanding, "so not something we can really fight."
Re: I'm in trouble for the things I haven't got to yet
Posted: Fri Jul 24, 2020 11:22 pm"Maybe not... physically," she concedes.
"But it wants a body. It saw what she did, and now it knows it's possible."

Posted: Fri Jul 24, 2020 11:30 pm"This just keeps getting better," she sighs, "So what do we do?"
Re: I'm in trouble for the things I haven't got to yet
Posted: Fri Jul 24, 2020 11:31 pm"I don't... really know. It might take both me and her to whoop its arse properly."

Posted: Fri Jul 24, 2020 11:35 pm"I'm one to talk, but she's not exactly the most stable of allies."
Re: I'm in trouble for the things I haven't got to yet
Posted: Fri Jul 24, 2020 11:42 pm"Believe me, I get it. But right now we're the only two I know of that can reach out to the place that we're connected."

Posted: Sat Jul 25, 2020 12:12 am"So how can I help?"
Re: I'm in trouble for the things I haven't got to yet
Posted: Sat Jul 25, 2020 1:10 am"You're helping right now, because it feels bloody insane to even talk about it, aye?"
"Lipincott would probably send me straight back to Muir if I brought it up."

Posted: Sat Jul 25, 2020 1:13 am"Or try to figure out what makes you tick," Tereza says with a shrug. "Either way, I doubt it'd be good."
Re: I'm in trouble for the things I haven't got to yet
Posted: Sat Jul 25, 2020 1:21 am"It's just frustrating. I'm finding out more about myself, what I can do, and all it does is complicate things more."
Re: I'm in trouble for the things I haven't got to yet
Posted: Sat Jul 25, 2020 2:01 am"No different than my complicating shit, I suppose. Can't hold it against you."
Re: I'm in trouble for the things I haven't got to yet
Posted: Sat Jul 25, 2020 2:13 am"Well I'm trying to make this fair for both of us, aye?"
Re: I'm in trouble for the things I haven't got to yet
Posted: Sat Jul 25, 2020 2:17 am"Not sure this is what I had in mind when we talked about making things fair," she says, though there's the ghost of a smile on her face.

Posted: Sat Jul 25, 2020 2:33 am"It's not nothing, believe me. She's got nobody. Claims she doesn't need anybody, but she can't lie to me as connected as we are."
"I can admit I need people. No pressure there," she smirks faintly.
