For today's prompt, crack that fourth wall and write us a letter to your character.
Dear Kristy,
I know you've been sitting there in the parking lot, waiting very patiently I might add, for a long time now, but rest assured, I haven't forgotten you and the adventures I promised to take you on. Did you at least enjoy the sappy little flashback I threw at you just last week? I realize it doesn't get you any closer to getting out of Vince's evil clutches, or to reconciling with AJ, but I thought you deserved a little moment of nostalgia, since I have been plague with it for months now. I've recently been duped into the concept of "RL character models", as I'm sure you've heard from Farren, Clair, & Mercedes. I took liberties with those three because of who I'm co-authoring with, but you are my creation and I don't have to share you with anyone. So is this something you'd be interested in? I ask because I've browsed through a few options, but none of them seem to capture you. And I certainly don't want the physical image of "you" to tarnish your essence by any means. I'm okay if you don't want a model like I gave my AX girls. You just think about it and get back to me. There's no rush.

Farren,
What exactly happened in the lab with your roommate?! You're supposed to be recruiting the computer guru to help you get your history back and what do you do?! You go screws loose, marbles missing, let's start throwing shit, crazy! That is NOT what we want. Crazy is not the place you want to go back to, understand? I get that you're frustration at the professors, and you think they're wasting time instead of being proactive against the rising persecution, but honestly, what kind of difference do you think you're going to make if the professors confine you to the Medical Wing, or worse yet, wipe your mind and send you away? You're not going to get the answers you're looking for that way, and you're not going to avenge Nancy's death by any means. Next time you feel like your mind is shattering and you're losing your self, use the safe word. That's what it is there for. I only managed to scrape by with a plausible excuse for your rather sudden demeanor shift, and I'm willing to bet the techie bought it, but if that happens in the middle of a fight, or a debriefing, you can beat your nature loving arse I'm not going to stop the Higher-Ups from yanking you off the current mission and dropping you in a padded cell for an undetermined amount of time. You're stressing me out here chica, and I'm trying my best to help you along, but you need to play it smart. Save the mental breakdowns to your dreams or only in front of your roommate, k? She understands better than she lets on in regards to what you're going through. Listen to her advice, but be mindful in who you confide in. Not everyone who lives there is looking out for your best interests, even if they say otherwise.
