i want you here (open)

Characters: [livejournal.com profile] jemerite and You (open)
Date: July 17th
Summary: He can't do this to her.
Warnings: Zinc's world is vaguely offensive in its necrophilia? Her narrative can be kind of gory. She thinks about killing things, a lot.

She wakes up cold.

She's often cold, unless sitting in open sunlight, or curled up next to the heating unit that does a poor job of keeping Barbet's large studio warm in the wintertime. She hated the cold, really, it was a constant reminder of the stillness in her chest, but what she hated the most was waking up cold, like she'd been dead the whole night through. Barbet shouldn't have left her, she hates when he does and she usually wakes up as soon as he stirs because it's cold and it's lonely--(perhaps the loneliness is the worst. She... she hates that feeling, she wants to rip it out of her mind and ruin it forever.)

There is a moue of discontent on her lips already as she sits up, but it does not take her long to see things are very changed. And she knows exactly what's happened.

He's abandoned her. He'd drugged her and left her out here in the woods to die. The certainty of it rocks her, and causes a deep twisting sensation in her stomach. Hate. Hurt. Misery.

"Barbet?" She looks around herself, but all she sees is the cat approaching with the scroll in its mouth. Zinc hisses at it furiously, settled forward on her hands and knees like an angry little animal. The cat seems nonplussed, but it sits down, tail swishing. Zinc ignores it as she gets to her feet unsteadily, looking around again, sees only trees and she can't smell him anywhere. How is she meant to track him down and kill him if he's erased his scent?

"You can't!" She shouts, hands curling into fists, her well-kept nails biting into her palms with the fury of it. He would scold her for that. "You did this!"

She sees the path out of the clearing and begins to follow it, but what she sees only deepens her despair and that cat is following her. "I will eat you, if you do not get away from me," she snarls gutturally at the fluffy thing. Its eyes narrow at her, smug and nonreactive. She hisses, but carries on walking.

All she finds is forest and field. And, eventually, she drops down into the grass and simply begins to scream. Wordless, furious, keening. He can't do this to her. She can't even weep in this decaying body, and it's his fault that she has the desire to at all.

OK so there's confused yelling from the part of the Gardens Jessica has mentally designated "the newbie area." This is usual, and she heads in the direction of the voice.

Then there's screaming from the newbie area. She breaks into a run, and stumbles breathlessly into the field of wildflowers bearing the new arrival.

"hahh hahh... are you- hahh- okay?!"

[identity profile] notvitiligo.livejournal.com 2011-07-18 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
...definitely not OK. Emotionally, at least. She looks intact, at least.

"Uhh... hahh hold on a sec..." Trying to explain the Gardens to newbies is hard enough without also being out of breath.

"OK, um... did you read the thing the cat gave you?"

After decades of training, of being on high alert lest she wind up with guards bearing down on her, Ezio's ears pick up the commotion and her urge to help and to aid has her heading in the direction of the shouts, quiet thump of her feet and rattle of her weapons as she approaches. Her hands are held out in a placating manner; some she has come across who need aid, when in such a state, are likely to lash out and she would rather not have to get physical if she can help it.

"Calma, calma," she says, peering from beneath the pointed cowl of her robe, "I do not believe the cat is the one who is deserving of your anger signorina. Is there anything I can do?"

[[ooc: Calma - calm down, signorina - miss.]]

She sighs. This isn't turning out to be one of the easy ones.

"Message vaguely explaining things. Uh, the basic rundown is that we've all been kidnapped by some crazy people and put in an alternate dimension zoo thing that's girls only. And we're all supposed to hook up. And yeah, I'm aware that it sounds completely insane."

[identity profile] notvitiligo.livejournal.com 2011-07-18 11:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Shit. This isn't going well. "Um... well, supposedly the 'Queen of Hearts,' but we don't really know who. I'm another, uh, victim, I guess. My name's Jessica Boyette." She hazards a hand in the new girl's direction.

[identity profile] notvitiligo.livejournal.com 2011-07-18 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Siiiiiigh. This again. She withdraws the hand and takes a breath.

"They don't know, we gave up on doctors, I was born like this, it's not vitiligo, I'm not albino, and it's not contagious. Anything else?"

Once again, Jessica wishes she had better upset people skills. "Um... Sort of? We're kind of... some weird combo of pets and dolls, I guess. We just kind of," shrug, "hang around until they start messing around with us."

"There's... not really much choice in the matter." Please don't hit me or something...

"Um... it's kind of unlikely, really, unless this person knows anything about, uh, dimensional travel or something. But, y'know, if she does, cool."

Her hand hovers over the lady's shoulder; she's not sure whether patting would be a good plan, given the previous reaction.

"Um... I, uh, made a brochure if you want to know the, uh, rundown. I'm assuming you can read."

[identity profile] notvitiligo.livejournal.com 2011-07-19 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
"Wow, where'd you come from, Antarctica?!" She's freezing! Still, Jessica does offer a shoulder pat and squeeze.

"It's at the library. (I really need to start carrying one with me...) If you're okay to walk..."

[identity profile] notvitiligo.livejournal.com 2011-07-19 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
Jessica automatically moves to help her up, pausing only a moment to make sure the reaction isn't cringing in horror.

"Well, it's not like we're being timed or anything, so..."

Ezio steps past the cat - she's not overly fond of the snotty little things anyway - and keeps herself at arms length just to be on the safe side. Waking up here was an odd experience to her and this girl reminds her of those she has overheard in Rome and other cities with a Templar sway.

"Mi dispiace but I do not believe that leaving the gardens to return to whatever town you must get to is any easy or simple task. I am Ezio Auditore, do you have a name madonna?" A hand reaches out, hovers because not everyone is good with touch, as Ezio has learned but she is tactile usually when she's soothing people be they young boys who fear losing a mother, a man who has lost a wife to the gallows or a courtesan who fears one of her friends poisoned at the hands of a doctor. Still, caution will win out with her when she is removed from her element and it will take another few months before she is fully comfortable as herself here in these gardens.

"Well, OK, there might be some creepy observer somewhere keeping track of everything, but I doubt it'll make any difference to us. I don't have anywhere to be right now, so it's cool."

She supports the new arrival without complaint, trying to figure out where she's felt skin like this before.

"I, uh, didn't get your name."
