[center][color=lightblue][h2]Subject 627: Sony [/h2][/color][/center] Sony dried her eyes on her sleeves before taking Alex's hand. They weren't exactly warm nor soft, but she learned that human contact could have a comforting effect firsthand. With his help, she got back on her feet, feeling much better but her eyes and nose were still a bit red. [color=lightblue]"T-thanks Mr. Star,"[/color] she said softly, not wanting to look at him. For some reason, she felt a bit embarrassed. Probably because she was the only one who reacted so strongly and crying in front of everyone. She must have looked so weak and pathetic. She followed the rest of the group as they continued on with the tour. She had to admit that she wasn't really paying attention too much at first but as the tour went on, she began to feel better, the incident pushed to the back of her head. It was interesting to her how she could feel so horrible one moment yet better the next. Both moments and emotions seemed to be fleeting. Her favorite part of the tour and what mostly cheered her up was the interaction between the amazon and the girl she seemed to stick to like glue. [color=lightblue][i]"Wow, they became very good friends, really fast. How lucky!" [/i][/color]" Sony thought, amused but a bit envious. She decided that later she would try to join in on their fun. The other people in their group were a lot more quiet than they were but Sony hoped that she would get the chance to get to know all of them too. Once the tour was over, she was surprised that Mr. Star had waited for her. [color=lightblue][i]"I hope it's not because I'm worrying him..."[/i][/color] She was actually kind of happy that he did though. Does that mean that he cares about her? He could have just been polite. Either way, she appreciated it. She was going to answer when all of a sudden, the amazon was running at them at full speed but fortunately and incredibly, jumped over their heads. Sony forgot all about Mr. Star's question and clapped, completely awed by the feat. [color=lightblue]"Wow! That was amazing! You're so cool!"[/color] she cheered. Now she definitely wanted to be that girl's friend. And then things got even more fun! The other girl, Parkinson apparently, walked up to them and began scolding Andarta. She finally learned their names. Sony could not help but giggle as Parkinson was yelling at the much taller girl. Suddenly realizing that she had not responded to Mr. Star, she began to feel bad. It was guilt, she discovered. [color=lightblue]"Sorry... I got distracted. I'm feeling a lot better, thanks for asking. I don't know where I want to go right now,"[/color] she said, shifting her feet. Apologizing seemed to relieve some of her guilt, though it seems forgiveness might be the only way to absolve it completely. She really was unsure about what to do now though. There were too many things she wanted to do at the same time. She wanted to go with Mr. Star to the library, stay to hang out with the comedy duo, and explore to see if she could find anyone else to talk to. Too bad she could not do all of these things all at once. Trying to make a decision is hard. Finally she decided after what seemed like forever to her but in reality was probably no more than a few seconds. [color=lightblue]"Actually, can I go to the library with you? If you don't want me to, I understand."[/color] [hr] [center][h2][color=a187be]Subject 268: Chester/Doc[/color] | [color=purple]Ft. Red and D[/color][/h2][/center] Doc let Red lean on him; she went through a lot after all. He gave her a smile, relieved that she was okay. However that smile was quickly replaced with a frown as soon as he heard D's voice. [color=a187be]"No, no the pleasure is all mine,"[/color] he replied, ignoring his earlier comment about a 'thing' going on between himself and Red. However he was still affected by what D had said and found himself inching away from his partner. [color=a187be]"Even you aren't stupid enough to get caught after running away," he said to D. "So what are you doing? Haven't you learned your lesson from last time?"[/color] D shrugged. [color=7bcdc8]"I got bored, really bored? Decided a new change of environment would be healthy, know what I mean? I mean look at this place"[/color] he stood up and then stepped up onto the back of the couch and balanced for a second, before effortlessly walking on it and spinning. He smiled and stopped, widening his legs and looking through them upside down [color=7bcdc8]"I see not all of us have gotten past last time, eh Red?"[/color] She looked away and got up, realizing the moment was finished. Moving to the other couch, she laid down and put an arm on her stomach and on behind her head [color=9e0b0f]"I have no clue what you're talking about, don't include me in this situation..."[/color] she looked at the ceiling blankly. D jumped and turned and squatted looking at Doc [color=7bcdc8]"Why does it matter to you Doc?"[/color] he asked curiously. Doc simply watched as Red left, though not very far. He didn't really want to include her in this anyways. He would have actually preferred it if she went back to her room. He was having a hard time controlling his temper and he did not want her to see this side of him. [color=a187be]"Do you even..."[/color] his volume began to rise until he stopped himself. [color=7bcdc8]"OH there he is, Mr.Chester came to play, do I even what?" [/color]he smirked, knowing full well what he was doing. Doc was also aware of what D was trying to do, but refused to let him get into his head. He took a deep breath and smiled back. [color=a187be]"Do you even care about what happened? After that whole mess that you caused, what did you do again? You ran away like a scared, little kitten. And now this poor kitty came back because he got homesick? You expect me to believe that?"[/color] he taunted back. [color=7bcdc8]"What does it matter how I feel? It happened. The fact you bring it back up is not my fault nor will it effect me in anyway. It is not my fault I chose to leave because I did not want to die and it was not my fault you and Red and her previous lover boy did not follow me.What was it Red that said? "I can't leave Azrael and everyone" And what happened then? I'm sure you remember. You two were probably better off leaving with me, but then again you two wouldn't be able to be so close, eh?"[/color] He tilted his head. [color=7bcdc8]"Know what I think Doc? I think you like have Red all to yourself. Now that her previous lover boy is all gone, you can do whatever you want, and you have her in the palm of her your hands. Don't speak down to me like you're better then me, I know damn well somewhere inside you, you're glad to have Red here with you"[/color] he sat back down on the couch and crossed his legs, putting his hands together. Red had turned on her side, to hide her angered face, but her collar lit up several times through D's rant. Doc began to laugh maniacally.[color=a187be] "Why do you keep bringing her up? What does Red have to do with any of this? People have died and you are talking about something as petty as romantic feelings? Romantic feelings that I do not possess, nonetheless."[/color] Doc began to get up and stood in front of the cat-like boy, looking down on him. [color=a187be]"I was worried that you were here to stir up some unnecessary trouble. But it turns out that there was nothing for me to be concerned about." [/color] Red heard the words of Doc and it hit her like a brick wall. [color=9e0b0f]"Cool, thanks, good to know where I stand..."[/color] standing up, she looked at D [color=9e0b0f]"Thank you for clearing that up for me, also, fuck you D. That didn't need to be said, regardless of what I learned, so fuck you..."[/color] she turned and vaulted over the couch, heading towards the living quarters. [color=7bcdc8]"Oh looky, things getting more and more interesting"[/color] he leaned back and smiled, before standing, meeting eye to eye with Doc [color=7bcdc8]"You again and again, never cease to entertain me Chester. I have my reasons for coming back, and you will learn that soon enough"[/color] stepping up onto the back of the couch again and turning [color=7bcdc8]"I am sorry for what happened Doc, don't get me wrong, but you should know just as well as I, you did not have to follow Red, but you did, and because of that, you gave that girl false hope when you two became the last of your group. Honestly for someone who's suppose to be smart, you are quite stupid on somethings."[/color] Jumping down he waved a hand in the air [color=7bcdc8]"Always a pleasure talking to you Doc, hope that trouble didn't include chemistry with your partner"[/color] he turned and winked, before walking towards the library with his hands in the black cat onesie and disappearing through the door. Doc stood there for a moment, still processing everything that happened. D really was nothing but a stupid, black cat, bringing misfortune and creating messes everywhere he went. He punched one of the couches in frustration and ended up causing it to flip over. The loud sound startled him enough to help cool him off. He put the couch back up before slumping onto it and sighed. He hadn't mean to hurt Red's feelings like that. But was it his fault? He cared about her as a friend and partner. He stayed because he also felt that it was wrong to leave everyone else to die while they escaped to freedom. He reflected back on earlier on how he acted. Hm... Yes, it did seem like he was very affectionate with her but that was just him being, well, him. Did he have feelings for her? He didn't want to think about it anymore. No, there were far more important things to think about. But first, he needed to find Red and fix things between them. It wasn't very hard to guess where she went though. Judging by the direction she was heading and from what he knew about her, it was easy to tell she was heading towards her room. No, the harder part would be mending their good relationship. He walked to the living quarters and stood in front of her door. He began to hesitate. Perhaps he should give her a day to cool off. No, he must not waste another second. But... He quickly knocked on her door, not giving himself enough time to hesitate any longer and back out. [color=a187be]"Red? It's me. Can we talk?"[/color]
