         TASK 002: AUTUMN RYU AS JESSICA HUANG

                                     “if you’re going to be something, be the best.”

Julia: I guess Alistair put two and two together.

Autumn: FOUR!

Julia: It wasn’t a test, Autumn.

Autumn: Yes, it was. I win.

‘  there are such things as bribery & torture int he 21st century, to get people to talk.  ‘ not that the redhead was ever capable of things as torture, he’d faint at the sight of blood, let alone torture someone into spilling all their secrets. ‘ but you don’t have to fear, i’m not capable of torture. i’m kind of a wuss, ’ he said, shrugging his shoulder & chuckling.  

 ❝ Is it weird  to say that you’re the kind of person I liked to be up against during mock trials? Not in a sadistic way or anything, more like it felt nice to be able to get someone to squeal under pressure.  ❞ That was probably one of the few things she missed about her used-to-be aspirations, nothing like competition to bring out the best-- or maybe the worst-- in her.   ❝ How bad of a wuss are we talking? ❞

“No thank you, you know I hate trying out new things. I like to stay in my comfort zone so the answer is still no,” Kira replied uninterested.She never liked new things or changes because that meant completely ruining everything she had perfectly planned out. “Uhm… reading? Autumn, you should know by now that I am not girl that likes this kind of events… or people attending them in general.”

❝ Well what’s so wrong about them then?  ❞ Autumn had grown to understand that Kira was more of a creature of habit; most times it didn’t bother her because she knew what that kind of comfort felt like, but other times she wondered how Kira didn’t get tired of the same thing over and over.  ❝ I mean, you never know till you try it, right? And ouch, I’m one of those people, cmon. ❞ She wasn’t sure if she should push the invite, but what would life be without a little spontaneity?

“How much do you wager?” he queried seriously. “I’m not scared by a little open wound. I’ve been nearly crippled and I’ve been stabbed a coupl’a times. I beat you with ease, though. I fight great. I’ll take down somebody who’s barely 5-foot-2 in heels, unless she decides to be cowardly-sly and doesn’t fight, like a lot of my coworkers. They keep lecturing me about tact, but wouldn’t even tell me what that is when I asked, because they’re gutless, crafty, pretentious whoppers.” He expressed these scathing opinions with some unmistakable fondness, however.

[aetherals-blog]

The more and more he spoke, the more her own brows seemed to grow closer together as she furrowed them. How he managed on his own in society all this time almost amazed her.  ❝ Felix, I’m pretty sure a gushing open wound would finally kill you. Don’t test people, your job could be on the line too. ❞ Breathing a chuckle at how serious she knew he was, she simply nods her head as a quick response.  ❝ I’m curious, just how close have you gotten to actually, physically fighting someone at work?   ❞

julia gratefully took the spoon from the girl’s hands and watched her friend. the blonde let out a short snort as she heard what the other said. “ paradise? really? ” julia laughed softly. the fact that autumn mentioned how she got the vibe that she liked him stung slightly. had it been that obvious? had it been obvious to everyone but herself? “ i don’t know – i think i got scared. ”

Autumn could only shrug, going to take a spoonful of ice cream for herself too as she listened. It was almost strange to see Julia in such a mood since she was always the more chipper one, which made Autumn more and more curious as to what went down.   ❝ Scared? Like how things would change and you have no idea if it’d be good or bad, or..? ❞

“Uuuuugh, WHY?!”

Jo’s alarm clock was going off after her third time hitting the snooze button. She hadn’t gotten home from her shift at the bar until 3 o'clock this morning and that blasted thing was now waking her up at 8.

“Okay, rise and shine, girl. Today’s the big day. Drag that booty out of bed.”

She had been pushing for this meeting with the Curator at the Rijks for months and now they were finally interested in speaking with her about a showcase. So she stumbled out of bed and went straight for the espresso machine. Nothing like a good caffeine jolt to shake off the fog currently hanging over her brain.

[aetherals-blog]

Having slept over, Autumn found herself awake first. She had made her way into the living room, dressed and more put together than she felt from their adventures last night. It’s when she can hear the stumbling of footsteps that she knows Jo’s awake, turning now to look at her from her spot on the couch. ❝ Well good morning, sleeping beauty. How’re you feeling? ❞

“ i’m fine – don’t worry. ” julia assured. who knew, maybe if others believed it, perhaps she could believe it too. “ not sure if you know him, but alistair – my housemate – well, he kissed me. he kissed me and i pushed him away, coming up with excuses as to why we wouldn’t work… he said he could never hate me, but – it sure does feel like it. ”

Walking back over to the other, she sits down and hands her a spoon, opening up the pint of ice cream with her brows raised now.  ❝ Uh oh, sounds like trouble in paradise. So then... why did you push him away? I kinda got the vibe you were into him this whole time. ❞

“someone at work got mad at me because she said it was time to ‘let the cat out of the bag’ and i pointed out that no one in the building was holding a cat or a bag. she said my reply was ‘insensitive’ and that i would ‘get a taste of my own medicine’. i don’t know what that fucking means. i think i might’ve b’n threatened. i hope she targets only my appendix. doctors have been saying it’s fine to remove my appendix or somethin’ like that for years.”

[aetherals-blog]

With a sigh and a shake of her head, she looks up from her laptop and gives him a look.  ❝ Of course you would say something like that... ❞ Chuckling, she waves a hand to dismiss explaining everything to him, choosing instead of play along.  ❝ Careful, she might really do it. I bet if you’ve mentioned it enough around her, she’ll target your appendix and then you’ll be walking around with an open wound on set. ❞

“it’s dark??” marcus groaned, apparently startled by the shift from day to night. how many hours had he been working? how did this always seem to happen? he frowned, muttering to no one in particular. “– got me locked up all the damn time working on all the most ridiculous –” and then someone unfortunate came into view and he waved them down, as if asking directions not foolish, sleep deprived questions. “hey! quick question: what day is it? or, er, what time is it?” and at once he lit up as if understanding what had happened. “are we in the future?” time warp. that’s it, it all made sense. 

[aetherals-blog]

Surprised a little, she makes an abrupt stop, looking over to the owner of the voice before chuckling. With all the stuff around him, she could only piece together that he had been too absorbed in his work to hear the warnings that everything was closing down for the night and they all needed to get out of there.   ❝ Shh, don’t speak so loudly now, they might begin to suspect that you’re not from this time at all and then you’ll be in for a nasty awakening. But yes, welcome to the future, did you have a pleasant trip? ❞

Gemma had her laptop open in front of her and the largest sized coffee the shop sold. She felt armed and ready to take on at least some of the day. She claimed a table by the window, she could see the canal from the table and that always helped her focus. She just wanted so see the water. She glanced away from the screen to take a sip of coffee and noticed the figure standing in front of her. She smiled, almost happy for the distraction.

[aetherals-blog]

Her shift was over but she had some work to do, and usually work would be the last place she’d want to stick around, but then she noticed a familiar face in the cafe. Walking over, she greeted the other with a smile, waiting a little bit before she was noticed too.  ❝ Hey you, what’s going on here? ❞
