Anastasia

Anastasia smiled a half-hearted smile, allowing a small amount of warmth to come into her words. "Of course. I don't expect you to fully trust me... I wouldn't expect that of anyone, especially not a Tendit. That's an interesting story, though... I'd forgotten about it almost completely.. It is like us a bit... "
Anastasia drew back at the mention of twins. Were they that well known? She'd heard of them to... "Zero was a pet name," she explained. I'm not surprised you haven't heard of me.... I wasn't particularly popular... The scientists named me Zero.. it was some sort joke, I guess. But they never called me anything else. I named myself Anastasia after I escaped. Nobody there knew me by that name.." Anastasia took a step back... "Well, Espy, I'll be heading to La Rouge nightclub, it's owned by vets like I said...they're all on our side. I don't like staying to long in the open - especially not in plain daylight. If you want, you can join me."

·÷±‡± Ķɛäŋäɨ ±‡±÷ you are accepted!! Great form, I love how she had a scientist that cared about her... very interesting! Extra points for having L as your avatar.

Thank you ^^
I'm glad you like it, was feeling a little backed up on creativity today hehe :3
I'm not quite sure where to start, any pointers?

Well, you could start in the Goldhawk facility. My characters Draven and Starling would be there with you.... although Starling is pretty mean at times Draven is friendlier, and a lot nicer. That would be good....
Or you could start on the streets, escaped. You That would give you lots of options, you could be on the streets, hiding in the sewers (ew.... gross, but the ninja turtles did it) - in a hotel, or in an abandoned nightclub. Or the La Rouge nightclub, people therev are friendly tendits. There's a character there named Tabitha/Tabs, or you may bump into my character, who will be heading there. Either way.

[lavender & lilac;;]

Tabs woke up at some point...not remembering falling back asleep. She looked in the cracked mirror, and then saw the debris everywhere and realized she must have broken. Again. She started sobbing uncontrollably and shoved her face in her coat to muffle the noise. She hated feeling the way she felt and was scared that she'd never get better. She took the last of the pills she had hoping she could put her demons at bay, at least for awhile and leaned into the corner of the stall, hoping with all she had no one had heard her.

[.:bunches:.]

Espy eyed her for a moment before shrugging.

"Do you want to see if this clunker will crank up? It'd certainly be easier than walking. I mean obviously the horn works, maybe something else will too."

Without waiting for an answer she popped the hood, checked the oil, reconnected the battery cables, shimmied under and checked the brake lines and then, went around and checked the fuel. She added a quart of oil, and put about a half a gallon of old fuel she found in a gas can into the tank and then turned the key in the ignition. It struggled. She sat in the seat and keeping her foot on the brake, slowly pushed down the gas pedal and it turned over but, it was smoking.

"What do you think? Is it worth it to keep trying or should we just get out of here. I don't want to draw too much attention."

[Avaloni]

{{Apologies for incredible tardiness... please forgive. Personal stuff and whatnot.}}
{Also, Sorry Classical Tea for not having anybody to RP with as of right now... We're coming soon! LOL}

Anastasia

Anastasia eyed the rusty old vehicle. The engine sputtered as a whispy collum of smoke curled up from the engine. "I think we should go... now. We're starting to draw attention." She said, noting the people coming out from the shops to look at them. There was a younger man- about in his late twenties, looking at them with concern. And not the helpful kind of concern, either. He said something in the direction of the door and another man - possibly his father - came out to look, too. Then a little father up on the other street, there was a middle-aged woman about in her late forties with berry-red lipstick, confirming that her lips were pulled into a tight frown. "Espy, complain about the car for a second then laugh, then say loudly like we're having a great time that somebody will be waiting for us, and we'd better hurry as to not be late." Anastasia whispered. The small crowd of people made her nervous, their stares so intruding like they wanted to know all her secrets, their eyes so accusing that she felt they would hurt her skin from the very heat.

[.:bunches:.]

"I can't believe this is happening!" Espy shrieked. "We were supposed to be there an hour ago. This is utterly unbelievable. Look, just get in the stupid car. Even if we only get a few blocks at least we will be closer than we are now. If we break down, we'll just walk the rest of the way!" Hoping her diatribe had been overheard by the onlookers, and that Anastasia would follow her cue she tossed her pack in the back seat, climbed into the drivers seat and buckled in. She watched Stasi to see how she would respond. If they were going to get out of here in any reasonable manner this was their best bet. At least in the car they'd get some distance. Flying was not an option for Espy at the moment, though that would have certainly been easier.

[.:bunches:.]

{{So...don't worry too much about the delay Avaloni, as we are the only ones actively participating at the moment anyway. It's been a weird week around here too, and since "Tabs" is still unable to get on for the time being I'll be putting up her posts. We've already worked that out between us, but at any rate...don't feel bad about your absence. Neither of us has been able to do anything the last few days either. What do you think of my idea up there?}}

[Avaloni]

{{ Thanks, and good idea. I like your idea so far. } On my phone now so this is a below- average post.}

Anastasia
" I know!! James and Lucy are going to be worried sick, and my phone died!!" Anastasia quickly opened the car door, sat down and put on the seatbelt. " nice act." she said under her breath, silently willing the car to start.. "I hope it works this time." She said, a little bit louder. The windshield was fuzzied by dust and dotted with water stains. The fabric had a rip, yellowed foam bulging from the rip.

[.:bunches:.]

Espy, frantic to get out of there, put the car in gear and hit the gas, backing out of the repair bay. She nearly hit an adolescent boy on the way back, hit the brakes, threw it in drive and floored it. She sped forward away from the shop, smoke billowing out behind the car. "At least the electrical system is functioning okay." She commented as she keyed Neon Row into the navigation system. She'd been there only in training exercises, at night, by wing. Navigating these streets was another matter altogether. Thank goodness the war on land had little effect on the satellite systems that it drew its maps from. "It looks like the fan and radiator are good too. That's good, though that means either the exhaust system is defective, or we have a bad leak somewhere that is causing it to smoke. I'm sure there are other reasons but I'm so fried I can't think of them." She sped around a corner and thankfully realized they were within just a couple miles of their destination. She smiled in spite of herself. She'd hated that stupid shop class they'd made her take. She had wings for Pete's sake. She'd never thought she could be grateful to her instructors, but she was. It was the only reason they had gotten out of there on time. As she pulled onto Neon, slowing her speed as to not draw any additional attention, she turned into an alley behind a large nightclub and put the car in park. "Where to now? We might be able to fix this thing right, but until then we've got to hide it somewhere. Any ideas? I really shouldn't just be out in the open like this. I'm sure you've noticed by now that my wings aren't the only thing to give me away and it's broad daylight. I need to get indoors, unless you've got fifteen pounds of foundation on you to cover it all. You know the area better than me, and we're gonna run out of dumb luck eventually."

She looked at her new-found compatriot and waited, yanking her hair back in a ponytail and tying it off with a piece of cording in the car. As cold as it was she was seriously overheated and all this hair just made her feel like she had a blanket on her head. "Why its it so flippin' hot today??? Man I wish I could take off this coat!"
