New Avalon

[yamikuronue]

Who. Are. You. Even in her mind -- no, especially in her own fucking mind -- T has little patience for nonsense.

[CalamityJade]

~I. Don't. KNOW! I just know I was in some place and someone mentioned someone named Roidmet. Look, why don't you tell me where I AM! All I keep seeing is darkness and some weird movement.~

[yamikuronue]

T pulls up short, coming to a halt on the street corner. Who is Roidmet, what does that  mean to you?

[CalamityJade]

~I...it's a word I have in my head, alright? Hell, I still don't know WHERE I am. I know it's important....but I don't remember why.~

[yamikuronue]

You're in New Avalon, in the brain of a teenage runaway who just... Fuck, that man's hand exploded. She takes a deep breath.

[CalamityJade]

~Wha...how the hell did I end up there?!~ An odd feeling of annoyance and panic comes over T...well, not really over her. It 's like she's hearing a story that makes her empathize with those feeling. ~Wait...how the hell do I know you aren't the reason I'm in here?~

[yamikuronue]

I sure as hell don't--- does this look familiar? She digs the crystal out of her pocket.

[CalamityJade]

The crystal glowed brightly, even in the morning light. It was glowing a bright blue and seemed to pulse. ~Woah! What the hell?!~ the pulsing seemed to match some of the thoughts in her head. ~Damn..um...what did you do? Now I can actually see!~

[yamikuronue]

You're a fucking crystal a fortune-teller gave me. T leans against a wall, scowling at the fortune.

[CalamityJade]

~...what the hell?! Why am I...no...no fucking way! This cannot be where I'm supposed to be!~ The crystal was starting to get a bit warm. ~So what the fuck did you do to me?!~

[yamikuronue]

Do I look like I'm fucking magic? Some crazy bitch gave you to me.

[CalamityJade]

~Well I don't know! I can barely tell what's you and what's all this fucking glowing crap everywhere! How the hell can you even see?~ It was actually very little blue around them.

[yamikuronue]

Shit. She shoves the crystal in her pocket. Douse the fireworks, do you want to get me killed?

[CalamityJade]

~What the hell do you mean?! What about fucking fireworks?~ The lights DO get dimmer though...they don't entirely disappear, but it's almost unnoticable.

[yamikuronue]

Not now, I need to get someplace safe. Not that there is anywhere safe. She scans the street, looking to see if anyone's looking at her and her formerly-glowing crystal, running down the list of potential sleeping spots in her mind. There's the old church on Key Street, or the cemetery -- nobody would come bothering her there probably, especially at night. But it was day now, and that was across town. Surely there was something closer...
