005 ✎ suddenly, my world's gone and changed It's face but i still know where I'm going

[rehashing]

[ forward dated to later this morning - say, seven-thirty, when she turns on the feed, she's up early late, unable to sleep. she's camped out in her living room apartment. her pile of Shakespeare plays can be partially seen on the coffee table next to her ]

If anybody is wondering, I didn't spend all day wandering through the maze. I just - took [ a mental health day ] my work home with me.

Also, the post a few weeks back about me and -- men. Apparently, I did it. [ She still doesn't understand it. ] It came from my device so I guess I was... cursed. Guess I don't feel left out anymore. [ Like she considered the autocorrect curse a curse at all. Not that she bothered not feeling left out. She misses that feeling, she does. But, now she's a part of the pack. ]

Anybody else up?

I don't think anyone took that particular curse too seriously.

[Derek has just picked up some coffee and a bagel at the bakery and is just stepping out into the square on his way home.]

I'm up. Just finished my morning jog. What are you up to?

[rehashing]

Most people don't take most curses seriously, do they?

[ That looks good. But, she should shower and change before picking anything up. Or leaving at all. ]

Just brushing up on my Shakespeare. [ Get it? ]

[totallyinaband]

Depends on the curse, I guess. That one was one of the sillier ones.

[orangetoughguy]

It's way too early for conversation.

A little light reading in the wee small hours? [He's a little amused. It's morning, and he's just had a good jog. He's in a good mood.]

[dudeimbatman]

Yeah. I'm up. [He sounds exhausted though and he's been chugging coffee for a while now.] You okay?

[mightbeconcussed]

Up is such a relative term.

[rehashing]

Were you in the maze?

[rehashing]

If you have any other suggestions...

[rehashing]

I've never had trouble getting up early. [ Though, she's been up all night. ] You're not a morning person?

voice

[rehashing]

I'm fine. [ Like clockwork, that word. ] Are you?

[rehashing]

This city doesn't have many morning people, does it?

[totallyinaband]

Naw, sat that one out. Thank god. This whole month's been way too eventful for me, I didn't need David Bowie in tights on top of it all.

[dudeimbatman]

[It's a great word.] I'm awesome. Considering putting up some of this paper work and going home to crash.

[mightbeconcussed]

Being a morning person is hard, okay?

[ex_bloodcakedarmor707]

[Alright, so she doesn't sound like she's in such a good mood and Derek sobers up a bit, getting a little more serious.] Not really, I was just... nevermind.

I'll leave you to your reading.

Did you sleep?

[ come running with him, gurl. ]

[orangetoughguy]

I am when I'm paid to be.

[othersdie]

Don't burn out. If you need to take a break, take a break.

private video forever ]

[ Justin. She likes you, Justin.

If she takes a break, she'll think about her brother back home, her friends back home - Klaus, everything left behind. It hit hard in the shower the day before. 5 minutes to think and she feels guilty.

Everything is her fault. She's not there to be with them. There's no certain proof that time stops. And it's one of those mornings.

But, she doesn't show that when she answers Justin. Instead, she reassures the man. ]

I won't. [ But thanks for the concern. Really. She's touched. ] I keep thinking that if I stop reading, I'll miss something important. There has to be a clue in here.

[ Does she look that bad? ]

I couldn't.

[ She wasn't tired and she has a job. Even though she's going above and beyond. She's a receptionist. She has to remind herself of that. ]

You're up early.

[rehashing]

I've always been a morning person. If you need pointers.

voice

[rehashing]

You should. The paper work will be there when you get back. [ And you have someone to file it! ]
