Sane was not one of them. After things got a little too strange, Zoey politely asked Kass for the rest of the night off, and the first place she went was her friend Lupe's house. It was a cheap house in the "ghetto" of Greenbriar. It was two floors, and it contained Lupe's other room mates, who were all attending the local college. It was the best like four people taking small jobs (And Lupe becoming a straight-up stripper) could afford! Zoey herself was playing her part... even though she could only sleep on the sofa. Where the blue-haired girl was resting since last night. Peacefully, at that. ... Until the door slammed open so hard that it hit the wall, creating a hole in the wall. Zoey raised her head, and grabbed the side of it. "The fuck?" Zoey asked, turning her head towards the door, and seeing Lupe. An average-heighted Mexican/Greek girl with a very pronounced nose. She was pretty thin from working out (No stripper can't get fat, after all)... and Zoey found her pretty hot. Except for that giant, weird-looking, nose of hers. Still hot. She had quite the Spanish-donk! When she saw Lupe, Zoey smiled. "Yooo..." "Jesus Christ!" Lupe shouted, slamming her foot on the ground. "Where did all these putas come from?! Some jack-off lights some fireworks and everyone and their fuckin' grandmother come and fill the town with idiots." "... What?" Zoey asked, raising an eyebrow. "Go outside and look!" Lupe said. "... I sleep in the nude, remember?" Zoey said, laughing. "It feels soooooo liberating. Livin' out my nudist fantasies is amazing. You should try it sometimes." "That's because you freaky as hell, girl, it's only a [i]matter[/i] of time until you leave the blinds open and flash the whole damn neighborhood." Lupe teased, taking steps towards Lupe. "Sounds fun." Zoey playfully said as she threw the covers off herself, and stood straight up. Lupe didn't even flinch seeing Zoey naked. "The first step to being a nudist, yeah? I mean, if you're willing to get naked in front of strangers, then you must be willing to get naked in front of your neighbors." "Like I said, freaky. As. Hell." Lupe said, laughing. "And that's comin' from me, a stripper. I've seen some shit, trust me." "Mind showing me...?" Zoey asked. "I've always wanted to be a stripper, in fact, I've been meaning to practice my lap dancing on someone... And you're probably the Simon Cowell of strippin' so I'm looking forward to your advice." She said with a sultry grin. "Haha, maybe another time." Lupe said. "But, one minute you talk about how hot that dude is, then another you're practically tempting me with your body." "What can I say? I like good looking people. Boy, or girl, it don't matter long as they don't have a giant pole up their ass." Zoey reached over to the end table, bending over (And she didn't notice Lupe looking at her) to grab her phone. She remained bent forward as she sent a text to Maren, [quote][code]It was crazy af last nite. U ok, tho?[/code][/quote] Just checking up on her, since she disappeared into the darkness. Maren practically dragged the crazy into the cafe! She was hoping that aliens didn't abduct her, or something. Zoey put her phone down, and looked at Lupe. "... Like the show?" Zoey said, winking. "Nah, I'm wondering when you're gonna stop putting your stinky-ass on my sofa." Lupe said, putting her hand on her hips, laughing. "I see naked girls all night, your pale ass is nothing." Before she threw a thumb behind her, "Get dressed, girl." Laughing, Zoey scrolled over past Lupe, and said, "That's why I love you, Lupe! You're such a tease! You know you love my pale ass as much as ever-" She put a hand on her shoulder, and inadvertently sent an electric charge through herself to Lupe. The Spanish girl violently convulsed as electricity danced across her skin. Zoey's eyes went wide as she quickly released Lupe, and the girl dropped to her knees. Shaking. "Holy shit!" Zoey shouted, staring at her hand for a moment as blue electricity danced off her fingers, and her eyes went wide. "What the fuck?" "... Girl, did you just hit me with a fucking taser or something!?" Lupe screamed at the top of her lungs, giving Zoey a strange look. "A God damn Joy buzzer?!" "Wait, no!" Zoey said, looking down, and reminding Lupe that she was completely nude. "... Where do you think I'll put a joy buzzer? My God damn vag?" She raised an blue eyebrow. "Just... help me up." Lupe asked, recovering from electrocution. It's like last night. The weird shit must have followed her from last night. It's almost like Maren put a hex on her! She'll have to find out where Maren went if she was going to end this curse! [hr] After getting dressed, Zoey got Lupe some help, and then Zoey went to the store to get some cigarettes. A simple corner store, manned by an Arabic-man. She pointed at the marlboros, and said, "Yeah, a pack of marlboros, please." She had seven dollars out, and handed it to the man. Grabbing her cigarettes, she stepped outside. She slid the cigarettes in her mouth, as she leaned up against the side of the corner store. Producing a lighter, Zoey lit the cigarette as her other hand reached into her pocket and pulled out her cellphone. Okay, Maren wasn't answering. Maren [i]always[/i] answers her texts (Whether it's playful flirting, or just Zoey's lame jokes). Okay, she was starting to get concerned, but Zoey didn't know of how many people knew of Maren. She had one idea... Zoey went through her contacts and called Little Baby MacGrath - Also known as Kass - because, hell, she had no other options. The second Kass answered the phone. "Yooooooo, Kass!" Zoey loudly and cheerfully said as she blew a puff of cigarette smoke. "Sorry for callin' you this early, but I'm a little curious if you heard anything about Maren? Like, she disappeared last night, and I've been sending her all these texts, but she hasn't been answering. I'm a friend of hers, and I honestly don't know anyone else that could know of 'er other than yourself, and Susan - oh, yeah, can you ask Susan, too?" Zoey got a little wordy, but that's something that everyone that knows Zoey Gray has to get used to.

But, this morning wasn't that bad. To recap; Jasmine's eardrums were punctured when everything got super loud, and she started screaming at that Korean-chick for being so [i]obnoxiously[/i] loud. After she was pretty much disabled by all the sounds, that Korean-chick's friend got some help... from someone who completely (and mysteriously) healed her wounds. Jasmine thought that was weird as shit, and she probably ingested some hallucinogenics, and just went home. Peacefully sleeping in her bed. Until she woke up... and realized that everything was still loud. Except, it wasn't as painful - barely even at all. She could hear her mother talking on the phone from the other room as if she was standing right next to her! While also hearing the TV being left on downstairs. For a moment Jasmine sat down on the ground, and focused. Channeling her hearing the best she could... it extended as far as outside. She could hear someone walking their dog out in the street, and it was amazing. Jasmine realized that something was very odd here... but, she wasn't stupid enough to cross off the possibilities. Such as - whatever that red light was, altered her in some way. It did something to Jasmine's hearing. Maybe she's one of those lame-ass X-Men. Yeah, that'd be rich. For now, Jasmine was going to take a jog, and try to figure things out. She got out of her pajamas, and got into some navy-blue yoga-pants that were tight around her figure, and a blue sweat-shirt. She was going to take a shower after her jog, so she was quick to run from her upstairs room, all the way to the front door. Ahhh... Greenbriar, what a great city- And what the fuck? The town was being infested with weirdos walking around. Like what in the hell? They were crowding the streets... rambling about the lights "returning." Okay, this was going to be a pain in the ass. Worst of all, it was straining her ears. Every step she took sounded like a gun going off. But, she focused on her jogging. Actually, she should be looking for that girl that healed her. If Jasmine has this [i]"amazing"[/i] superpower, then that girl should have the same one. But, where the hell is she? Greenbriar ain't New York, but it's still going to be like looking for a needle in a haystack. Jasmine bumped into some man, and gave him a sharp look as he said, "Watch where you're going!" "Stop standing around like a dumbass." Jasmine hissed back as the two exchanged looks before she kept going. "Fuckin' weirdos, yo..." She hissed. Okay, from what she knows about the girl, she likes motorcycles! So, she's probably with the dyke-y motorclub crowd. Actually, Jasmine wasn't going to touch that with a twelve-foot stick. She'll just head back to the cafe and sees if that girl.... While she was scrolling by, Jasmine saw the girl that she was looking for, and now that she got a good look at her; she's Audrey Springer. A problem child around school. Jasmine heard that she got kicked out for fighting a damn teacher. Personally, Jasmine has never paid Audrey any mind, and would be content with continuing to do so if she didn't have questions for Audrey. The girl was mounted on her motorcycle, and Jasmine ran over to her, hoping that she could stop her before she speeds up, "Hey, hey, [i]hey![/i]" Jasmine shouted as she put her hand on the motorcycle, making herself clear. She smiled at Audrey to defuse the situation - and potential tensions... Just like there are people out there who don't care for Audrey, even more care less for Jasmine. It's because she's better than them. "You were that girl that helped me last night, right?" Jasmine asked, a thick urban accent becoming apparent. "First, I'd like to thank you..." Then Jasmine's voice volume went down, and leaned in to her to say question. "... Second, and most important, I'd like to ask you what the hell happened," Jasmine raised an eyebrow. "Wounds don't magically go away - and, on the other hand, you don't magically get [i]super-hearing.[/i]" Jasmine said, to get Audrey on her side. "... I can hear your heart-beat."
