012 ⇨ pick back up

video ⇨ public

[There's a living room, and a couch, and a cup of tea on the table (unseen), and in the middle of the couch, there's Mae. Knees pulled up to her chest, chin pressed against one knee, expression almost blank as she looks at the screen. After a long pause, she sighs and looks down.]

Well, I've been able to find a new device after mine was...boggled up. Let's say I retired it to a better life. Something like that - does it work? Does that sound... [Another sigh, and she hides her face for a moment. A huff of laughter, then she looks up, eyes puffy.]

I haven't quite figured how to be clever and witty and funny when my biggest support is gone. I am glad they managed to escape this place, anyone can tell that we don't belong here, and to think that Alan and Jamie were here long before I - [She shakes her head to focus.] Anyway, yes. And then there was one.

[She uncurls, feet pressed against the floor, and leans over to pick the device.] Give me a few weeks before I become operational again.

[And the feed cuts off there.]

[ooc; Explanation for her long absence - she might have thrown the device out of her window when she realized Alan, Nick and Jamie (especially Jamie) had left the City. Lonely Mae is a new thing. So let's see.]

So how do you end up with a new one?

After many dificulties and waiting. The City provides, though.

[There's a bit of a snort.] 'Course they do. I'm Tim Riggins.

Nice to meet you I guess. Sounds like things are sucking for you here.

It's certainly a way to put it, yes.

Sorry 'bout that. You got friends here at least?

[identity profile] brobeforehos.livejournal.com 2011-10-17 04:59 pm (UTC)(link)
I've got some friends here, yes. Surprisingly, many of them are boys, I'm coming to realise...

Ain't that big a mystery. You're hot.

Hey, I'm jus' tellin' you how I see it.

[identity profile] brobeforehos.livejournal.com 2011-10-19 04:08 pm (UTC)(link)
No, no - I wasn't scolding you, or anything.

[identity profile] dillonrockstar.livejournal.com 2011-10-19 06:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Gotcha. Sometimes it's hard to tell.

Hey, I like compliments. They brighten my day, even when my day is a big darkened spot on an otherwise relatively bright existence.

Compliments I'm good with givin'. You're smokin'. See?
