Blanket Fort - Room 32

[lvpd_sidle]

Courtesy of Collins, there is an abundant supply of food from the restaurant in Santa Fe.

There are cushions, blankets, and plenty of space in which to stretch out.

Outside the door is a sign: This is a Tofu-Free Zone.

And the door is unlocked.

Nothing that's going to yuppify anyone.

What the heck's going on, anyway?

Blanket Fort!

Because we're all there to hide.

Like...everyone but Angel, really. When Suzi shows up she has Ray's Book (not to be confused with Bob's Book) under one arm, circles under her eyes, and the hair style of someone with very, very curly hair who abandoned her brush in her rush to leave.

She's pretty obviously Suzi, though. Everyone who describes her mentions the tentacles.

Suzi said this would be a good place to get readings on baseline, soy-free humans. So here's a man with blue skin and silver armor, looking around curiously.

"Anyone here?"

[ooc: Out Christmas shopping for an hour or two. Will tag when I get back.]

[ooc: I'll be in and out all day. Work and RL. No worries.]

"Hi," Sara says, not even blinking in startlement. Amazing what living in Vegas and two years in Milliways will do. "I'm Sara."

Re: Entrances

[lvpd_sidle]

"Suzi, right? I'm Sara--come on in."

Re: Entrances

[sime-channel.livejournal.com]

"P-p-pleased t-t-to m-meet you." She says, and then wryly, "T-t-to b-b-bad it isn't under b-bet-ter circumst-t-ances. Th-thank you."

Re: Entrances

[lvpd_sidle]

"Likewise. Please, have a seat. I'm very sorry this is affecting your...boyfriend?"

Re: Entrances

[sime-channel.livejournal.com]

"B-b-boyf-friend, l-l-lover, C-c-comp-panion, G-g-gen." She says, drifting to a seat and perching. Suzi is one of the small women in the bar (although she'd point out that for a female Sime she's tall), "W-w-we're s-symb-biot-t-ic. W-w-when I s-s-say I c-c-can't l-live w-without him I m-m-mean it."

Re: Entrances

[lvpd_sidle]

"That's what I've heard some others say. We'll get this figured out." Sara doesn't know how, but that's irrelevant. It will be done.

Re: Entrances

[sime-channel.livejournal.com]

She nods, looks at the ground, and then looks up at Sara. Suzi's not a tough person. She's durable, but not tough. What Angel said was true, though: she'd burn the bar down if it'd bring Whistler back, "H-h-he's in th-there. C-c-can't g-g-get out b-b-but h-he's in th-there and I'm n-n-not l-l-losing him."

Re: Entrances

[lvpd_sidle]

"I know," Sara says gently. "I'm not losing my brother-in-law, and my dear friend isn't losing his husband either. There are plenty who want to figure this out."

Re: Entrances

[sime-channel.livejournal.com]

She nods, running her hands on Ray's book. "S-s-sometimes I h-h-hate th-this p-p-place." Most of the time, actually, but she's not going to say that unless she's drunk. Too many people love it here.

Re: Entrances

[lvpd_sidle]

"There are times when I do too," Sara admits frankly.

Re: Entrances

[sime-channel.livejournal.com]

Honestly? It feels so good to hear someone else say that. She manages another tiny smile at that, "W-we h-have t-to k-keep c-coming b-back. Th-the p-plants W-w-whistler and I n-need d-don't g-grow on his w-world."

Re: Entrances

[lvpd_sidle]

"This is where I met my fiance, and many I now consider my family. I couldn't willingly leave this place permanently, even if I wanted to. I love too many here," Sara says quietly, returning her smile with a sad one of her own.

Re: Entrances

[sime-channel.livejournal.com]

"I m-m-met W-whistler h-here." She agrees, fiddling with her own tentacles, "B-b-but...I a-also s-s-spent m-my f-first t-twent-ty four d-d-days d-dying s-s-slowly b-before w-we found s-someone t-to h-help me." Suzi loves people here too, but...

attrition, more psychospatial disorientation than she's ever felt before, loss of Keon, loss of her father, loss of her time and world, loss of purpose...and now this. She doesn't want to be here.

Re: Entrances

[lvpd_sidle]

"I'm sorry," is all Sara can think to say.

Re: Entrances

[sime-channel.livejournal.com]

She shrugs, "W-w-whistler...m-m-my W-whistler...m-m-made G-garion ch-change h-him int-to G-gen. M-my other h-h-half." This is why she's getting him back. You can't abandon love like that.

Re: Entrances

[lvpd_sidle]

"We'll get him back," she says. Sara hasn't broken a promise yet. "I know my friend Angel has talked to Ray about this--he seems to think that some sort of shock will help snap people out of it."

Re: Entrances

[sime-channel.livejournal.com]

She nods, slowly, and says, "G-g-got s-s-some id-deas t-too." because plotting happened last night, and there is an in-Milliways thread to be timed to before Suz showed up here which will affect the research thread here. "I w-won't l-l-lose him. Ev-ven if I h-h-have t-t-to f-f-follow h-him t-to k-k-keep him."

Re: Entrances

[mendanddefend_archive]

"Hi, Sara. I'm Bob." he offers a hand to shake. "This is where the non-infected people are meeting, right?"

Mark's sitting in a corner, a pile of papers on his lap, along with a pocket film projector which he's shining on one of the sheets. Yes, he's screening film.
