"I'm glad," he groaned, "if there's anything you find let me know... i'm a nurse." he reminded her. Brooke nodded but winced slightly as he put weight on his ankle, "I'm fine, nothing's broken... just managed to twist my ankle pretty bad." he gave a slightly abrupt nod, trying out a few more steps to confirm he could— in fact— walk.
❝ unfortunately, unless your emergency is of the fashion variety, i am useless. ❞ lu says, sigh following her words. there was no way she knew to be helpful in this situation. she was the most incompetent person in a survival situation, and here she was, living out her most unprepared-for of nightmares. ❝ i'll let you know when the shock wears off. do you need me to do anything for you? ❞
"what do you mean? of course i'm alright, i feel fucking fantastic." after logan's strange trip through the woods, finding a shower, and feeling moderately hopeful for survival for once, logan actually did feel great. great enough to joke around again. "what brought that up was a bunch of others talking about seeing Nessie." she scoffed. "but you know, while it could just be a whale dick... i want to believe." she said that last bit dramatically and with a dreamy tone. "hollow earth... hmmm... isn't it full of like... magma and shit?"
❝ okay, just checking. ❞ soft smile graces her lips as she gazes at logan. if you weren't paying enough attention, you might think her pupils actually turned to little hearts, before she shook her head and glanced back down at her feet. this was no time for getting gooey and she didn't have the mental capacity or emotional energy to expend on a crush right now. how was she supposed to be surviving if she couldn't even control her heart? ❝ seeing nessie? isn't that like... in scotland? i know i'm not great at geography, but i don't think we're that close to there... ❞ eyes look anywhere but at logan when she says this, trying so hard to ignore the way just saying that makes her feel like a dumb blonde.
she laughs, shrugging her shoulders. ❝ that's what they want you to believe, but have you ever actually seen the inside of the planet? i mean, maybe that's why kid's parents always said that you could dig a hole to china. ❞
✏️ + a starter for @athena featuring ❝ whats that you've found? ❞
lula sighs, kicking at the sand beneath her feet, walking barefoot on the beach. ❝ whats that you've found? ❞ she asks, looking over at athena with brows furrowed. this was exhausting. she kept thinking about the hotel she'd been booked into and fantasizing about the massages she would have been having. she just wanted a little pampering. when she'd been dreaming of a mud mask, this was not what she'd envisioned.
"We're not getting home. I know we're not. I keep saying I think there has to be a way but it's a bunch of shite," Autumn sniffed and wiped her sleeve over her eye before quickly acting as if nothing had happened, "I just want my mum. You know? Is that pathetic?"
❝ i don't think that's pathetic at all. ❞ lu says, shrugging her shoulders. she missed her mom, too. she missed her entire family. she wondered often what they thought had happened to her. had they come to a conclusion about the crash? declared her legally dead? she wasn't sure she ever wanted to know the answer. ❝ i get scared thinking i'll never see my parents again, but we need to stay positive. ❞
❝ i think i'm alright. ❞ said as she looks down at herself, double-checking for any injuries that she might have sustained. ❝ what about you? are you in one piece? ❞
"You know... I'm not so sure I believe in this Nessie nonsense." Logan shrugged, and put her hands up in defense. "Sailors used to just draw what they saw! Okay? The Loch Ness Monster is 100% based on a whale penis. Whales stick those things out of the water while mating and just let them flail around. Have you ever seen one? Looks exactly like Nessie on the horizon. I'm serious!"
lula blinks, taken aback, as she listens to logan speak. ❝ are you feeling alright? ❞ she asks, brows knitting together in concern. she'd never considered the plausibility of the loch ness monster before. really, she'd never had reason to. and, honestly, she didn't really want to sit around and think about whether or not those blurry photos were whale dicks. ❝ what brought that up? personally, my favorite conspiracy theory to try to unravel is that the earth is round, yes, but also hollow. flat earth theory is out, hollow earth theory is in. ❞
have you seen LULA RENFIELD around the crash site? we’re trying to make sure they’re still alive after the crash! according to the manifesto SHE is a 23 year old CIS WOMAN. i hear they’re known being an COLLEGE STUDENT - FASHION MERCHANDISING. LULA is also known to be CHARISMATIC yet also ALOOF at times. we have a couple questions for LULA when we find HER, we heard something about a secret they might have? such as SHES BEEN GATHERING INTEL FOR HER AUNT’S LINE TO UPSTAGE A RIVAL DESIGNER WHO TEACHES AT THE UNIVERSITY, ALL THE WHILE BLOGGING HER COLLEGE EXPERIENCE ON LIVEJOURNAL WHICH LAUNCHED EARLIER IN THE YEAR ‘99!
THE PAST:
lula, or lu to her friends, has been the outgoing social butterfly type her entire life. she had friends easily, wherever she went, because being close to lula renfield was like basking in the warmth of the sun. she attracted people to her with her warm smile and sunny disposition, and never had a bad word to say about anyone.
she's calm, cool, and collected when needed to be, but you can tell there's a little demon menace waiting to be set free inside her. all it takes is a well-placed insult, or one she perceives as such. when livejournal launched, she was instantly interested, and set out to start the most successful blog there had ever been. for the most part, she just blogged about her day-to-day life, but people quickly started clamoring for the behind-the-scenes gossip surrounding the events she was always being seen at and posting little updates about.
a little bit of an airhead, with her pretty blonde head in the clouds, she's generally a pretty nice person. that is, unless you directly threatened her family. in which case, she was ready to destroy you. this isn't necessarily the reason she chose to enroll into college as a fashion merchandising major per se, but getting to be that close to her aunt's rival was definitely a perk.
she was happy as a lark to chronicle her life on her little blog, walk in her aunt's runway shows as the most uninspired model the runway had ever seen, and enjoy the life of luxury and leisure she was building for herself.
THE PRESENT & SURVIVIAL SKILLS:
lu has no survival skills. as a former employer of a full household staff, she's got no clue how to survive on her own. she bought the ticket with the intention of visiting a friend who had recently moved back to sydney and exploring a new city. she never thought this is what would end up happening.
SOCIAL:
lu is very much a lover, not a fighter. she operates with love first and then will resort to more aggressive emotions and actions if she's not getting across what she wants to get across. in short, she will make things work for her.
