02 ☣ [VOICE] [OPEN]

[g_jr]

[When Sherry speaks it’s clear she’s nervous, her voice is just a little too tense for casual conversation.]

Okay so I know people have been mu- changing, but has anyone had any changes around the eyes in particular? Like glowing spots?

I’m just trying to make sure this is the same thing everyone else is going through and not- uh, something else.

[ Oh god that was a loaded question, and Aqua's still not sure she wants to voice it. On the other hand, if there was anyone that Aqua had met here that she would even be remotely comfortable explaining this to, it'd probably be Sherry. ]

Yes. I... well, none of the changes I've gone to are... overly physical. But I've been a lot more... aroused than normal.

[ Please don't make her have to actually explain in more detail Sherry.]

[Nodding, he waits for her to go on. Or not to. Hopefully to talk about it though.]

[Video]

[g_jr]

[Sherry's mouth opens and closes a few times as she fails to figure out how to even start explaining.]

This really isn't a conversation to be having over the network, wanna come over and talk in person?

[Video]

[albionchanged]

Fair.

Where do you live?

[g_jr]

Oh. Oh.

[Well this is awkward, Sherry is going to do her best to make this easier however.]

Is there anything I can do, or get to help?

[bubbleblaster]

[ Yes, this is very awkward. So was the thought that immediately went to her mind when Sherry mentioned if she could help of the other girl coming to her apartment and clothes coming off and-

-No. No. No more thinking about that. At all]

I... I don't think that'll be necessary. I'm keeping myself at home. Away from most people. I... should be able to handle this.

[g_jr]

Okay, I'm sure you can handle it, but if something comes... [She catches the innuendo that time.]

If something unexpected happens you can call me anytime.

[Video/Text]

[g_jr]

I'm still on the second level, here I'll send you the address

[A second later Esme's comm beeps with a text containing the address]

[Video]

[albionchanged]

Okay, I'll be there soon. It looks like we're not far from each other.

[g_jr]

...Well far be it for me to waste any more of your time. [Is she going to hang up on him? Yep she's totally going to hang up on him.]

[Video/Action]

[g_jr]

Okay, see you then.

[Sherry glances around her apartment and starts straightening up a little before Esme arrives, there's not much to clean up, but there's no reason not to clean what little there is. ]

[bubbleblaster]

[ Aqua was once again thankful for the fact that this was voice and... not video. Keeps the fact that her face is beat red from being visible.]

I... I'll keep that in mind. Thank you.

[Action]

[albionchanged]

[ After hanging up, Esme heads out. It only takes him about fifteen minutes to jog to her address and he knocks, barely out of breath. ]

[g_jr]

[Opens the door and steps to the side so he can enter.]

Hey Esme, you find me okay?

1/2

[misanthoprentice]

2/2

[misanthoprentice]

[Well...how rude of you, mortal.]

[g_jr]

You normally have glowing skin? If you don't mind me asking sir, Are you human?

[abidethewalls]

I am not. I am Awoken, though I will hazard that that means very little, if anything, to you?

[A moment later there’s a picture sent along of a blue hand, slightly colored with softly glowing whirls of purple.]

[albionchanged]

[He nods. It's hard to explain, but right now he's happy to see Sherry. Walking inside, he looks around her apartment before turning to give her his full attention.]

It wasn't hard at all.

[Jill says nothing. She simply raises her hand. Glowing spots? Yeah, hers is more like a pulsating light along her veins. There's a reason she has her suit zipped up far as it can go.]

[g_jr]

I'm afraid not, I'm from a world where there are only humans. [And considering how they treat each other that's probably a good thing.]

Are you from an Earth or another planet?

[abidethewalls]

As are many that have been taken here, I've come to notice.

[It's a little strange, actually. Humans have always been prolific, but there's nary an Awoken or Exo to be found.]

I assure though, I am from Earth as much as I can be, though more than like a different 'Earth' than you know.

[g_jr]

[ Sherry chuckles the glowing marks around her eyes pulsing too.]

A few people have been showing me they're glowing too. I think yours might be the most impressive.

[And slightly creepy with how it's following her veins, but Sherry's not about to point that out.]

[g_jr]

Great!

[ Sherry had been worried about this conversation but now that Esme was here she was happy to see him too.]

You hungry? I haven't had dinner yet so I could make something for two?

[albionchanged]

I could eat, and I can help you cook.

[Just because she invited him over doesn't mean he can't try to help out.]

It would go faster.
