[b][center][h2]Bladedancer and [color=gold]Alice[/color] [/h2][/center][/b]

Everissa shut the door to her somewhat crummy apartment and leaned against it with a sigh of relief. Another work day done. Everyone knew fast food was the shitiest place to work... But it was a place to work and that was all that really mattered. She walked into what amounted to her living room to see Alice sitting at the table staring at a bowl of ramen. Everissa had told the girl she could use any clothes she wanted, which for now meant she was wearing an oversized sweater with the hood pulled up and gray sweats, which must be a little warm.

Alice looked up at the sound of footsteps with a trace of alarm before seeing it was just her roommate. She gave a weak attempt at a smile and lifted her hand and showed it to Everissa, or more accurately the fork that was seemingly attached to the palm of her open hand before she let it drop back into the bowl.

Everissa's grin was far more vibrant, [b]"That's great! You're figuring out how your powers work."[/b] She took a seat across from Alice, one her feet bouncing up and down. [b]"It took me like a month to figure out what I could do so don't worry about how long it takes, but do you think you're getting a better feeling for it?"[/b]

Alice's smile this time was a bit more vibrant, Everissa's energy rubbing off on her. [color=gold]"Y-yeah."[/color] She stirred her noodles around a little before nodding, more to herself than the person across from her. [color=gold]"I'll have it all figured out in a week tops and then... I'll find [I]them[/I]."[/color] Upon the last word the fork in her hand suddenly launched itself into the wooden table, forcibly impaling it as Alice stared at it somewhat violently. 

Everissa winced, partly at the damage to the table, and partly at the damage to Alice showing itself. Bits and pieces of her story had come out during the few days she had been at the apartment. Alice had a dangerous focus on getting revenge, both on Lethal Force and on the Community and from what Everissa could tell, they both deserved it. [b]"A-ah, well until then, do you think you could try to avoid causing any damage to our home?"[/b]

Alice's face immediately colored and she let out a small noise of distress [color=gold]"[sub]Oh,[/sub] oh no I didn't mean- I'm sorry, [sub]please[/sub] I didn't mean it."[/color] She immediately grabbed the fork and removed at fiercely, rubbing the small imprints in the table as though she could simply make them disappear. 

Everissa reached over and grabbed Alice's hand, [b]"Please, it's fine, I'm not gonna kick you out over something stupid like that. You can trust me, okay?"[/b] She asked, staring the other girl in the eye, brown eyes gazing into yellow.

Alice looked away and pulled back her hand. [sub][color=gold]"Okay."[/color][/sub] She said quietly. There was a bit of awkward silence and Everissa got up to make herself some food when Alice spoke up again. [color=gold]"Do you think I could get a job with you? I-I don't want to just mooch..."[/color] 

Everissa nodded, [b]"Of course, I can help you with the application and put in a good word for you. It'll help pay for your costume and help me out with food expenses. Once we get a bit more situated... We can talk more about Cape business, for now just do whatever makes you feel most comfortable."[/b] Life between the two of them was working itself into an awkward balance, but a balance none the less.
