Twenty-Nine [With Korea/brothergroper]

[raven_daughter]

[Rue had been quite... startled... to say the least when she found herself suddenly in a car.
With a stranger.

Due to the recent Raven Blood plot, her instant thought was that she had been kidnapped, this man was one of her victims or had a loved one be a victim... and she was now to suffer. Panicked, she began fumbling with the car door, struggling

[ Korea was quite certain he hadn't been in a car a moment ago. He blinked and stared out the front window for a moment, in an attempt to figure out where he was at, when he heard the begging and fumbling for a door next to him.

He turned (finally noticing the girl) and held out a hand to her with a smile. ]

Hi! I'm Korea. Do you know what we're doing here? --Hey, why are you yelling and trying to run away. Did you see something?

[ And now he was peering over and under the seat. He didn't see anything... ]

[raven_daughter]

[She had pressed herself up to the car door as much as possible, expecting him to lash out and harm her at a moments notice. Now she held her breath... and... got a hello?

... Well. He still could be dangerous, and trying to lull her into a false sense of security. If the positions were reversed, it was what she would do, after all. She swallowed, hard, and tried to get to a normal breathing pace.]

... I thought you were going to hurt me.

[brothergroper]

[ He just has to blink and stare in confusion at that. ]

...Why would I do that?

[raven_daughter]

[Still keeps away, but slowly beginning to sit, somewhat. And, she looks around, before making up a lie right on the spot.]

... I'm afraid of strangers.

[brothergroper]

[ He laughs a little at that and settles back in his seat. ]

Wouldn't that usually mean you'd attack me? But you didn't, so you can't be that scared.

[raven_daughter]

... So you didn't do this.

[She'll sit, but she'll keep her back to the door. Just in case.]

[brothergroper]

Nope!

[ He leans forward and peers through the window again. ]

There's a movie playing. Wonder what it is. And there's like... snacks and stuff in here. May as well make the most of it! What's your name, anyway?

[raven_daughter]

... My name is Rue.

[And, she sighs, irritated.]

Another stupid event, I see...

[brothergroper]

Event?

[ Korea's found the popcorn and is already happily popping it into his mouth when he casts her a quizzical look. ]

[raven_daughter]

You don't know?

Mayfield does this plenty... Putting us in strange places and made to wait it all out.

[brothergroper]

Ah. Only thing I've noticed is the missing limbs thing. Haven't really been here that long.

[raven_daughter]

... Mm. You'll get used to it soon enough.

[Said so dismissively.]

[brothergroper]

Probably.

[ And he turns toward Rue, shaking the popcorn bag at her. ]

Popcorn?

[raven_daughter]

... If that's all I can eat.

[takes just one, clearly not pleased with the lack of nutrition.]

[brothergroper]

Uh--

[ He's looking around now. ]

--Fries? Or a milkshake? Seems to be all we've got.

[raven_daughter]

... Disgusting. I'd rather starve.
