She was already slumped back in her chair, hands rubbing her face tiredly as she spoke. It felt like she had been working non stop for an eternity, though in reality it was probably only two weeks or so since things got busy.
“Aside from tired? I’m alright. Things have just been super hectic lately. Both with school and work…”
“Work’s the worst lately. I had a bunch of stupid customers all on the same day that didn’t seem to get the idea ‘hey maybe we shouldn’t place same-day orders because that’s fuckin’ unrealistic’.”
She grumbled as she hung her head off the back of the bean bag chair, staring at the wall behind her as she complained.
“I’m glad you’re alright though. It’s just been awful that I wanted to jump off a cliff lately.”
“I’m glad that we’ve got a bit of a break this week. Work’s been killing me.”
Rebecca stretched her arms over her head, cracking her knuckles at the top before laying back on the bean bag chair. She looked up at the ceiling before looking back over at Lorna., her braids chiming softly.
“…foggy town type, I think. I mean, it was a very long time ago, and I honestly barely remember that visit anymore…”
She just remembered some of the people she met. And she wondered if maybe she could look them up when their school trip finally rolled around.
“That’s about the feeling I had while in Iwatodai too… Though I met a really nice girl there when I was there, and she had brighter hair and eyes than me! She helped get me through the trip, honestly.”
The girl had been really sweet, and wore headphones just like she did the last she remembered.
“Really? I mean, I was there too for a while and, I dunno, my memories of that place are not the greatest. It’s a nice school, but something about that place just felt…off.”
“Felt off? Like the shrine at night ‘off’ or the town in general when it’s foggy as shit ‘off’?”
Now this she was pretty curious about, and wondered if it had felt the same ‘off’ as Rebecca had felt when she visited for her implants.
send me “talk about them!” + a url and I’ll talk about that person
“Oh man, Lorna’s a huge sweetheart. I’m never really mad when she holds me back from beating the shit out of the people who make ‘Suke’s life hell though. I really do wanna beat those assholes up, but I know it wouldn’t really solve ‘Suke’s problems.
I’m really glad Lorna tolerates all my bullshit though. She’s an amazing friend and I wouldn’t trade her for the world.”
“I guess with the murders and stuff, they have other shit to worry about. Though they still found the time to harass Kanji…”
“That’s cause he looks like a gangster to them. I look like a foreign twig.”
She said matter-of-factly. She had come up with the explanation on her own a while back when she attempted to figure out why she seemed to get away with more than she should.
“…kay but you can still kinda get arrested. Though I think they’d count this as self defense…”
She really should know better by now, but she worried! Seeing her friends get suspended or arrested was the last thing she wanted!
“I don’t think you have anything to worry about, Lochii. The cops here are used to Satonaka prowling around. They wouldn’t bat an eye at me doin’ somethin’ tame like that.”
If Satonaka hadn’t been arrested for her ‘patrols’ by now, neither would she for putting an asshole in his place.
