Go Down

yamikuronue

"I.... I did?" She shakes her head. "I'm not...feeling well. I should.... " Go home and lie down. "Get back to work."



CalamityJade

"Well, if you're sure, miss." The guy that had apparently saved her looked somewhere around her age. He offered a hand to help her up off the ground.



yamikuronue

Erika takes the hand, unsteady on her feet. What... what on earth was happening to her? Was this a side effect? Well, surely, though, it was worth a little... unsettlement to be Welcomed, even if it was only a fake Welcome.



CalamityJade

Thankfully she's able to get to work fairly alright. No other movement issues or something like that again. There IS another incident as she's getting to the end of her shift. The same feeling comes over her and she can barely make out her surroundings before one of her co-workers shakes her. "Hey! You got those fliers for tomorrow?" Right...they'd asked her to grab something from the back...so why was she in the office and when the HELL had she gotten that huge bladed machine for cutting papers out!



yamikuronue

Erika puts the blade down, hand quivering. "No.... no, I'll be okay... it's just been a long week," she tells herself, but the words ring hollow.



CalamityJade

Thankfully that is the end of her shift...and she DID just get informed about what to do in case something adversed happened. The number was probably on the papers she had gotten during lunch and it might be nice to know what to do in case it happens again.



yamikuronue

Erika looks down at the paper, mulling it over as she walks home. She could call... but then... she might lose everything.


But she should call...



CalamityJade

well, she could not call...but since the last incident, she's starting to get the feeling that something is watching her. Something....more than herself. More than the several people she passed getting home, seeming to be peering at her to figure out her secrets. More than the feeling of the walls around her as she made the climb to her apartment bending towards her to pick up the smallest thing she said. Something was watching her, and it was displeased with what it saw.



yamikuronue

She makes it as far as the payphone on the corner near her home before she breaks down and dials the number.



CalamityJade

It rings a few times before someone picks up. "Mr. Harrox's office." The feeling seems to ease slightly once there was someone on the other line...hopefully that didn't mean this was all in her head, of course.



yamikuronue

"Hi, this is Erika Stark?"



CalamityJade

"...Ah, Miss Stark. Give me a moment." There a click...and then the voice of Mr Harrox. "Ah, Miss Stark. How are you? I heard that Mr. Trask talked to you earlier today."



yamikuronue

"Yes. And thank you again so much for what you did. But... he said to call if I experienced anything unusual and..."



CalamityJade

"Oh dear, already." Wait, already. "Hmm...what has been happening, Miss Stark?" He seemed...well fairly concerned, but also curious.



yamikuronue

"I seem to be having... strange blackouts? Wait, already?"
