"Thanks Cass and I know she will. What she does. No matter how bad things get she'll still do what is right. Freaking Eddie ruined Nat's Birthday party. Tas still jumped in to save his life, rode with him to the hospital and tended to him the next week," Claire said as she sat there. She was glad for Cass as of late. Girl seemed alright in her book and rather cute, which didn't hurt.

Then something happened she wasn't expecting. Cass pulled a Claire... "Oh my fucking god... Hit her! Come on!" Claire thought to herself but didn't say it. Right then Claire wanted to hit Belle as well and was right about go to off on the woman but she held her breath and let Cass have her go. She struck first, it was only sportsman like to let her finish. Like the fight at the party. Claire let Dom get his licks, or fists as it were, in and then she stepped in. Same thing this time. Soon as Cass was out the door Claire laid into Belle like there was no tomorrow.

"For a psych major you are as dumb as a box of hammers. I swear Belle, you need to learn you to keep your trap shut. I'm just glad you aren't saying this around Tasha. That woman has literally saved the lives of at least three people who live in these apartments. Two in the last month - Echo and Eddie. Their lives in her hands, their blood staining her skin and clothing. Are you comprehending this? Now her father died. She already lost her mother ages ago to cancer, watched the woman fade before her eyes for a year before she finally passed and now she has had to bury her father; her last family member. So yeah, she's going through a bit more than worrying if a cat coughed up a hair ball. I really don't know what the fuck is wrong with people these days, seems as long as it isn't them they could care less. Really a fucking shame to, I thought better of you Belle. Always thought you were a ditz but never knew you were so heartless to think that just a trip to Disneyland could fix anything. Do us a favor, keep your trap shut and go back to playing with your pussy. It'll save us all a headache," Claire said as she narrowed her eyes. How dare that pretentious bitch dare to say something like that, especially now. Turning she made her way to the door. She had to spend a week with these people? Dear god help her. Least the place was big enough they wouldn't have to see each other the entire five days if she was lucky. Stopping at the door she pivoted and glared at Belle.

"So yeah there is trouble in paradise sweet cheeks. And yeah, I feel like an ass for forgetting the birthday of the woman that pulled me out of the gutter. That's what happens when you care about someone. You feel bad when you forget to do something special for them. Sorry if that isn't enough to disturb your paradise but it is enough to mess with mine," she added before walking out the door and heading over to Cass's motorcycle. Claire was surprised she didn't deck Belle but in the end the woman was not worth her time or anyone else's in her book and she had just proven that in spades.

"Freaking judgemental heartless creeps, thinking that a stupid trip to cartoonland will just suddenly make everything better. This isn't some high school bullshit of someone getting upset over someone dating someone they have a crush on. This is stuff that can really break someone. I swear, maybe it is better if Tas takes that job out in Chicago. She'd be better off away from most of these creeps. Why she considers any of them important enough to give the time of day is beyond me," Claire thought to herself as she picked up the helmet and put it on; securing the strap under her chin and climbing on. Least Cass seemed alright. Hopefully that would hold up. God this trip couldn't be over soon enough. That thought alone was weird for Claire, she was always happy go lucky, even when fighting. She loved life but even she was starting to feeling the emotional drain of just being around some of these people. She didn't know how Tas kept it up and was surprised she had held up as long as she had looking back.

"Girl, remind me to buy you a round of drinks when we get there, you earned it," Claire said as she wrapped her arms around Cass's waist and pulled close. Well if she couldn't ride with Tas because of what went down at least she knew she was riding behind a woman with a hell of a mouth on her and just the right amount of sass. Who cared if she was Scottish, least she wasn't Italian.

@lydyn Yeah, neither is Tas why I am thinking it wouldn't take much, lmao. Make the bartender screw up their "virgin" drinks :P

Growing Up | It's Anything But Simple

@lydyn Think maybe we should get Tas and Rose together, maybe over drinks so they'll both open up. Think once they see how much in common they have from growing up they could actually get to be rather good friends. Both understanding where the other is coming from on a deeper level than many in the group could understand.

Growing Up | It's Anything But Simple

@lydyn Ahh, see that plus backstory help more. Let's me get a better feel. Thankies!

Growing Up | It's Anything But Simple

@lydyn It's not that I don't like her, I am trying to figure out where she is coming from and such with the way she is thinking. Tas's mother died when she was young, her father pushed her away because of it. She grew up with no friends, keeping her nose in a book studying. Had few relationships, hard break ups (one a couple of weeks ago), couldn't get close to anyone. Her father dying without fixing that void hit hard plus she became a doctor because she couldn't help her mother, then her father died right there with her even though she was a doctor now. So yeah, Tas out of all the character would understand better than anyone exactly where Lydyn is coming from since their histories are very similar.

Now granted Rose hasn't said these thoughts outloud to anyone but for me as the Rper, I just wanted to get a better understanding. Some characters are just jerks, others have logical reasons behind thoughts and actions. Why I asked. Is anything but an attack.

Growing Up | It's Anything But Simple

@lydyn A smile and a thanks after just getting punched in the jaw and knocked onto ones butt is mostly ignoring someone? Um okay. Actually beings up a question - did she totally forget that Tas said her father died? Or is Rose really that much of a ~can't think of a decent none cursing word here~ to go on in her mind that much about pity party and such? Tas never said she was upset over her birthday to anyone, Claire said on top of everything she had forgotten and couldn't blame her for being mad. (Just trying to get where Rose is coming from - don't want to think Rose is that much of b**** if she really isn't lol)

Growing Up | It's Anything But Simple

@lydyn Might want to reread Claires last two posts - She didn't ignore Rose, she tried to give a smile and thanked her.

Vivian Ormerod

Location: Newnan Infirmary
Interacting With: Sid

Vivian groaned as she tossed the two way radio down on the gurney. They wanted her to rush over to lock up after Walkers just flew through the air like a milk shake in the blender with the lid left off. Seriously? Other than her, there were probably Newnanites that would be needing attending to. Some Jack-ass that was part of the group that put a bullet through her chest was at the bottom of her to help lost and just moved right past Alicia to male the top of her Kill Parade. She'd get to him and when she did he'd wished she hadn't.

Hissing she pushed Sid back, sure he was trying to help but he doing no better than pushing the blood around and every so often pushing way to hard into the open wound. "Trying to kill me?" she snapped as she leaned there weakly against the gruney. "Go to the fridge, get two bags of A+ blood, shove them down your pants, grab a blood transfusion kit, and get back over here," she snapped as she slowly managed to get up onto the gurney itself. It might have sound absurd but it was a quick way to warm the blood, his twig and giggle berries would just have to get over it.

Picking up the items he had brought over before hand she started doing what she could to patch herself up. It was hard though. She had a lot of blood loss, could only use her non dominant hand, was doing it in reverse and on herself with no anesthetic to numb the wound as she pushed the curved needle through. What's worse, she might have to count on Sid to stitch up the exit wound. Fucking hell...
