♗ 002 ] [ now that I'm free... what do I do?

[not_myfirstday]

[Suffice it to say, Elle's been in space, apparently for the second time, and she's still not really sure why, let alone what exactly she's supposed to do. She's doing an okay job in surviving, even did a tiny job for a few credits just in case she needed the money. Of course, the tiny job didn't pan out and she ended up just heading back to the

Well, I follow my usual career and sing at a club, and go through life

[not_myfirstday]

What if your usual career... isn't exactly here?

[music_and_leeks]

Well back home I was a singer, so I figured I could be a singer here

[not_myfirstday]

[Clearly, this girl isn't understanding that Elle was referring to herself, so she'll just sigh and nod.]

Well, I'm glad you figured something out.

[derpydrjimmy]

You should try to get out more. It's not healthy to just sit around. There's plenty to do!

[not_myfirstday]

Plenty to do isn't exactly a specific suggestion, you know.

What do you do?

[derpydrjimmy]

Sorry

Well, I have a job at a clinic, sometimes I like to go out and explore all the sci fi stuff, and follow the city life

[not_myfirstday]

So you like it here, then.

[Now with his powers intact, he feels more inclined to talk to his good old pals from home. Especially Elle. She has something he wants, and he has unresolved emotional issues to work out with her. :') ]

Hsving some trouble finding your place? It's hard without Daddy holding your hand, isn't it?

[hosnap. That feeling she thought she'd gotten over simply finds its way back to her stomach in a second. It twists and she's reminded of the video feed of Trevor and the violent manner in which he was 'dealt' with. It wasn't exactly something she wanted to be reminded of and even now, he seems different than when she left him.

No glasses for one, but there's an edge to his words, something that puts a cold touch to the back of her neck and gives her a chill that she can't shake.]

G-Gabriel, I thought I saw you on the network here. [She doesn't want to let on that she's from before whenever Peter was from, but she still has no clue what else to say.]

I'm trying to adjust.

You've been watching me all this time? Elle, I'm touched. Truly. I've been watching you, too. It's kind of funny. I've got it pretty good here. Friends, roof over my head, a semi-honest living ... and yet, I'm still not satisfied. Don't you think that's funny?

[Her brow furrows in confusion, because this... this is not the man she knew. It was the man she left in that apartment when she ran. The man that did that horrible thing.

Immediately, she realizes this was a mistake. It's a lost cause, she's sure of it, but she steels her jaw, grateful that she's in her room, in the apartment, with other people (hopefully) close by.]

I was curious, we all can admit to having those moments and I'm not sure I understand what you think is so funny.

Video.

[supercilious]

I've been told I have to get a job.

[ which he is certain is going to be the worst thing in the world. it's not that he doesn't work, back home, so much as he isn't used to anyone being the boss of him. ]

[not_myfirstday]

So have I.

I just don't have any real qualifications to do most of those jobs.

[excessivehubris]

[That is actually a very interesting question and he finds himself curious despite still having a stack of data cards in front of him.]

I don't know if it would be called a productive use of my time, however I've found that simply trying to get an idea of why we are here has become something of an occupation.

[not_myfirstday]

Have you figured anything out yet? Other than to be cannon fodder in some galactic battle.

[excessivehubris]

Actually, yes.

[not_myfirstday]

Really? [She's skeptical.] Like what?
