005 - Jaye in love? It's a bad thing, with tentacles.

[notababysaver]

I'm pretty sure this is a really bad thing. There are good things, then there are things that are just things. This is neither of those things. This is one of those things that should be taken out in the desert, shot, and buried in a shallow grave for the vultures to peck at before it becomes a really big bad thing with, like, tentacles.

Please,

Eh, anything'll do.

There was this whole thing with... stuff. A shrink and a monkey and it's a long story. It was a frame job. I was not responsible for the things they thought I was responsible for. Other things yes, but not that thing.

You really don't want to know.

I'm a little bit homeless right now, but this floor is cop-free, and from what I saw of number four... well, let's just say I like to avoid boulders fifteen times my size bearing inexorably down on my squishable body.

I'm in the hall.

[Jaye had to stop herself grinning like a total idiot the moment Adam came into view, with vodka. Focus on the vodka, she told herself.]

"Yeah..."

[And that came out like a schoolgirl with a crush. Way to go, Jaye, way to go.]

[notababysaver]

[Jaye shrugged.]

"A glassful. More if that's not enough to make me..." [She eyed him sideways. Busting out with something like 'not be in love with you' was a bad idea.] "...not be drunk." [She stuck her chin out assertively.]

[notababysaver]

"Thanks."

[Jaye smiled awkwardly as she took the glass from him and immediately knocked back most of the vodka. This was worse than falling for Eric. Much, much worse. Okay, not much worse... in fact, maybe a little bit better, but it was still very, very bad.]

"So what's your story?"

[notababysaver]

"What is this, like choose your own adventure? I'll go with the samurai thing, 'cause it sounds cool and after a couple weeks in this place... I have no clue what I should be believing anymore."

[She held out her glass for more vodka.]

"Though really, a ninja would've been cooler than a samurai."
