001. VOICE/ACTION ☤

[perjured]

--ome on, you piece of crap. [ Even if you don't know her, Leslie sounds more than a little stressed out. Her voice even sounds a bit tight but if anyone asks, she'll blame that on the whole suddenly in an unfamiliar fountain in an even more unfamiliar city thing.

She sighs and then there's just the chatter of the people near the fountain for a moment before she realizes she got her device to work. Finally. ] I really hope you guys can hear this because this is all the warning you're gonna get: when I find you, your asses are mine. [ Apparently she thinks this is only going to be heard by a couple very specific people. ] Kidnapping isn't cool, even if it's an attempt to cheer someone up. Especially then because, surprise, it doesn't work. In fact, it just kinda pisses them off.


ooc: As stated, she's in the fountain, so feel free to have your characters run into her there!

[ Having already ringed out what water she could from her shirt, Shay uses the towel to wipe her arms dry, then moves on to drying her hair. ]

I'm not saying I like this place any more than I did ten minutes ago, but more people could really use a trip here to learn that. The amount of people back home that would rather not deal with anyone else's shit because they're too self-centered to care is horrible.

[theassassin]

Believe me I know exactly what you mean. Fortunately, most around here are fairly helpful, and relatively kind.

[Action]

[perjured]

Probably because we're all stuck in the same shitty situation. [ That'd be her guess, anyway. ] So you've really been here five months? You're not just pulling my leg?

[Action]

[theassassin]

That's my assumption. [She nods.] By my count, I'm mid way through my fourth month. We had a Halloween celebration the day after I arrived, I've been her through Christmas, and New Years. Valentine's Day... If I'm not wrong, It will be the beginning of my fifth month at the end of this one.

[ Her hand pauses, hair still in the towel. ] Meaning it's not February anymore?

[Action]

[theassassin]

No, if our calendars are correct it's the first week of March.

[Action]

[perjured]

So not only did I get kidnapped -- [ she moves on from her hair, though the towel won't do too much good for her wet clothes ] -- but I also lost a week. It just gets better and better here, huh?

[Action]

[theassassin]

Oh, it does... Believe me a little time loss isn't the worst of our problems with this place. I'll explain more, but.. [Natasha looks her over carefully a moment.] first.. I think I might have some clothes that should fit you. If you don't mind me taking you back to my place that is..

[ Normally, Shay would jump at an invitation like that (whether it's meant to be sexual or not) but considering the circumstances and the fact that Kelly's on his way... ] Actually, much as I appreciate the offer, I've got a friend on his way to meet me. He contacted me when you were heading over here. You've been a really great help, though.

[Action]

[theassassin]

[She gives a little nod, offering to take the damp towel in exchange for the dry one.]

The least I can do given the circumstances. I'm glad, you have some one- I'm assuming from home, here to help you. It will make things easier.

After you're settled if you haven any questions I will do my best to assist.

[Action]

[perjured]

[ She trades the towels happily enough and uses this dry one on her face, nodding slightly to the "from home" part of what Natasha says. ]

I can already tell it's gonna help, having him here. [ He's her best friend; she couldn't imagine anyone better to be stuck here with, especially after what just happened. Dawson would be a very, very close second, though. ]

Yeah, I'll let you know. Thank you again.

[Action]

[theassassin]

You're welcome. [She hesitates a moment.] Would you like me to wait with you? Or will you be alright on your own with just a blanket?

[Action]

[perjured]

I think I'll be alright. It didn't seem like he was too far away when I talked to him. [ It's not that she doesn't like Natasha, it's that being around people - especially pretty redheads - isn't exactly the best idea for her right now. Kelly's a little different because she knows him and he's seen her break down before, but it'll be easier to keep it together if the only strangers around are ones that aren't actually paying attention to her. ]
