[i][u]Location[/u]:[/i] Hellheim - or, just the motel room
[i][u]Interacting With[/u]: Gloria [@Liriia] & Andy [@Roosan][/i]
[i][u]Mentions of[/u]: Everyone, dudes. [/i][/center]

Mia raised one eyebrow at Glo's comment - safe but exciting? [color=goldenrod][i]"It's either one or the other, Ria girl."[/i][/color]

That was Mia's opinion anyhow - how could you entertain yourself without feeling just a small sense of danger? She wasn't just thinking about the usual daredevil stuff that she loved either; sure, tomb-stoning and walking around dark alleys and parks in the small hours of the morning always gave her a real sense of bad-assery or something, but with Mia's hyper-active imagination, she could get just as much of a thrill with books, movies, games. Before they left, she'd been halfway through her... like, billionth playthrough of Dragon Age 2, and she was still hella pissed that she wouldn't be able to finish it. Sure, she knew the ending, but it still gave her that little spike of adrenaline and worry and everything when it came to pass. It was the same with every other thing she geeked about.

That's what made her feel afraid now. They didn't know what the ending of their story was going to be - would they all die? Get re-captured and brain-washed? What were the chances of them beating their - apparently - evil parents and becoming the heroes of the day?

Realising with a start that she was beginning to scowl at her empty plate, Mia snapped out of her thoughts. She couldn't think about this now... not around the others, anyhow. She had an image to keep up - a girl's gotta be strong, y'know? Who else would cheer up the group with some light-hearted banter and [s]pointless[/s] awesome [s]arguments[/s] debates?

She was certain not everyone in the group was comfortable with her... more than persistent opinions, especially the guys who she hadn't really talked to all that much before their daring escape. In fact, it was only really Andy that she'd known beforehand. For some reason, her parents had encouraged for her to avoid all of the other kids - and she wasn't all that concerned, at the time. She had plenty of friends anyways, and besides... some of the parents seriously freaked her out. Andy's parents seemed okay, if a little intimidating. He definitely didn't take after them... but in another way, was like a carbon copy. It was weird... either way, Andy had always been fun to hang around with. He enjoyed a lot of the nerdy shit that she did (Bringing forth a [b]lot[/b] of arguments in regards to characters and whatnot - she was sure the others were sick to death hearing about Star Wars) and he was kinda like a big brother. And also the token gay best friend that every girl in every american teen movie seemed to have, only less camp, and more drunk. 

She liked it when he was drunk. It's how she learnt his full name.

As for the others, some were chiller with her than others. Mia was pretty sure that Malcolm was scared of her, but poor old Mal seemed to be scared of everything that moved and didn't, apart from that weird book of his. She didn't think Cody appreciated her spontaneity - boy looked into things too much. 
Jay - well, apart from a [sub]potential[/sub] pop-tart theft, he was awesome. Always up for a discussion about the government or something. The working pair of the group, Tish and Lia, were also pretty cool. Mia didn't think she'd have lasted long without Lia leading them, and Tish also helped when it came to blowing off steam. Mia couldn't always be the annoyingly charming kid in the car, after all. 
And then there was Gloria; girl was a feisty nerd, just like herself. Well, when it came to sci-fi, anyhow. She was sorely lacking in fantasy, and Mia was determined to change that. For everyone in the crew, so Malcolm was not safe from her scary amount of knowledge in the books of Tolkien either, or the sassy comments that would surely follow when he stammered out a question.

Speaking of sass, it was about time Mia chimed into the conversation before someone thought something was wrong with her. 
[color=goldenrod][i]"Last thing I need is someone gettin' all concerned about me. I need to swing by a chemist or somethin' later..."[/i][/color] She thought - and this thought was a somewhat sobering one, despite the perky comment filled with sarcasm that was stated out loud. 

[color=goldenrod]"Hey, I have an idea! How 'bout we all stare at the walls until we want to blow our fuckin' brains out? It's worked well enough for us so far."[/color] She suggested with a grin, looking between Gloria and Andy. [color=goldenrod]"'Course, the lack of guns may make that one a bit hard, but there's always a pool outside if one of us does feel suicidal. Drownin' is a peaceful way to go, or so I've heard."[/color]

Along with the less than endearing words she uttered, Mia was thinking some things through. On their way towards the motel, she'd noticed a few pharmacies on the high street. Maybe one of them would stock insulin? She didn't even know if it was an over-the-counter thing or not, but it was worth a try. So was stealing some, but the others didn't really need to know about her plans for today. She usually popped out for a bit - either to go to the store for pop-tarts or other junk food ([i][color=goldenrod]"BECAUSE SOME SHITLORD KEEPS EATING MY STOCK"[/color][/i]), or to go climb trees and do some childish, imaginative shit. Because how could life be bad when a girl was pretending she was hunting Orcs or something in the woods?
