the rocks weren’t helping. nikki knew it. reeva knew it. anyone who might have found their gaze focusing upon them, in the distance, KNEW IT. but they made her feel better, in a way that little else could. she needed to be doing something, and that usually led to violence - it was a marked improvement to see her channeling her feelings into something that ultimately, wouldn’t end in pain. “fucking buena vista,” was the only thing she muttered in response for a time - tossing another couple rocks full force towards the dome before finally GIVING up, letting the fist full she still held fall to the ground as she returned to where the other sat ; falling down beside her and getting ready to sit sullenly for a long while, before reeva spoke up again, and a snort of laughter left her. “florida man barges into homes looking for fights, gets pizza and arrest. man, he was living the LIFE.”

it’s not often that it happens, but reeva actually stands in silence. shocking, right ? her sisters would be AMAZED. she watches nikki for a while, different conversation starters racing through her mind. some where funny, some lame, and some were just plain rude, but hey -- who cares ? anyways, it didn’t seem like nikki really wanted to talk, so ... she didn’t. weird, i know, but yes -- reeva can be surprisingly considerate when she wants to be. “yep, fucking buena vista,” she responds ( rather dryly ) before plopping to the ground, hugging her knees to her chest. “ooh, nice one. wonder what kinda pizza it was.” was getting arrested for pizza worth it ? yeah, probably. she can only imagine the look of disapproval that dante would have given her if he’d heard that thought. it almost makes her laugh. “ah, dammit. now i want pizza.”

“We can hope,” he replied at her sudden burst of faith, though in suppressed thoughts he felt doubt that this woman’s sister would have all the answers. “Alright,” he began walking. “Let me try something.” He jogged over to a parallel parked car on the side of the road against the curb. He pressed his shoulder into it tentatively, then backed up and tried to walk through it straight on, but it didn’t budge and he lurched backward. “Well, my powers aren’t working at all. It’s gonna be a long walk. Unless we can steal a car.”

“your powers aren’t working ?” she stops in place and whirls to face jackson, eyes wide. “i -- how ?” her powers certainly were, and it was easy to tell. beneath her feet, frost webbed across the asphalt :  a clear sign that kit was quite anxious. “we ... we might be able to steal a car ...” think, think, think .. come on, kit -- fucking pull yourself together and think. she bites down on her lower lip and looks around, eyes landing on the car that jack was leaned against. “if i were to FREEZE that window, could you break it ?”

“Me either.” There was nothing but irritation radiating from the red-haired boy. He slammed closed the steel door of the control panel, the metallic clang echoing thrice into the empty air of the plant. As it grew distant, bouncing off this large contraption and that, it caused Jackson Windsor to shudder. “This is stupid. Completely stupid. These decisions the all-wise council are making are one-sided. They haven’t been in this situation before, same as us, and their power became illegitimate when everyone in the town fucking disappeared,” he ranted suddenly, as if he had been bursting at the seams with such criticism. “Egregious. That’s what it is. You have to agree to be governed, and to agree to be governed you have to have some understanding as to how things are going to run. Do you know how things are going to run? They just made it up on the spot.”

her lips purse tightly as jack continues to rant, only nodding every once in a while. she agrees, of course she agrees, but andromeda has never been the type to vocally complain about ... well ... anything, really. “stupid, yes. necessary ? maybe. but it would have been nice if they’d ... i don’t know, asked people who uh ... know how power plants work ? i can’t even tell what’s on and what’s not.” her eyes move in every which direction, and she finds herself turning in a complete circle to fully take in the room. “i just ... i don’t even know where to look, or how to make sure i’m doing everything right --” she stops herself mid-sentence, shaking her head. her hands find their way to her hair, tangling themselves within her curls. “this is ridiculous.”

there was not much to do, right? as far as anyone could tell the dome seemed to be absolutely foolproof. an indomitable force that by the looks of it was pretty much thrown over the town most of them were dragged into. it was disheartening to see just how much damage it had caused. in their short expedition, they’d found three houses and one big building that didn’t stand a chance against the thing that was keeping them trapped. but really… there was nothing they could do. therefore, no matter how heartbreaking it was they just couldn’t let it get to them. jaxon desperately wanted to get back to his ordinary, but extremely happy, life so he had come to terms with it rather quickly. but he understood it wasn’t the same for everyone. so, he snapped a quick picture and sat down next to his current information gathering partner. a gentle, hopefully soothing hand, placed over her back. “hey… you have no idea how resilient humans can be. i know it’s not easy when you see all of this, but we need to be positive. we’ll find a way to overcome this.”

she turns her gaze toward jaxon, eyes shimmering with both unshed tears and a hidden hope that perhaps ... perhaps everything would, in fact, be alright. “you’re right, of course.” she waves her hand in the air as if to brush off the subject, shaking her head. “staying positive is the key, i suppose.” pfft, ha ! as if. even saying it OUT LOUD sounded like horse shit. she pushes herself to her feet, brushing her hands off on her thighs. “where to next ?”

“it’s comforting to see some things don’t change,” faye stated, a smile creeping onto her features. somehow, it felt wrong to be smiling. with all the uncertainty. with no one having the slightest idea how they ended up here. but, the idea of always being able to pick up where they’d left off is always a comfort, even in times like this. she watched as justice laid a hand on the dome, it seemingly impermeable as it registered her hands presence. “nope. and somehow, despite all the crap we’ve been through… i feel like this is going to be worst of all. i’m pretty sure all of us moved thousands of miles away from here for good reason… just to be sucked back.” 

a humorless laugh sounds from justice, eyes closing tightly. this truly was the last place she wanted to be. the dome feels cold beneath her fingertips, chilling even the very marrow of her bones. an uneasy feeling settles in the pit of her stomach and she pulls her hand back, shaking her head. her heart speeds up quickly as she registers just how ... trapped they all were. not again -- please, not again. the last time she’d been stuck somewhere, she almost didn’t make it back. justice swallows the thick lump in her throat and turns back to faye with a half smile. “guess we just can’t get away.”

“ hey auntie, ” blair greeted, falling into step with the other. she should probably be doing, y’know, her assignment–  but she had plenty of time to do that. wasn’t like the dome was going anywhere. not like things like flashlights were going to up and disappear. “find out anything super fun about the dome? you feeling that warm little feeling of hope yet? ‘cause…” she sighed, her eyes looking to the sky through the dome. “i’m not.” @rcttlingstars

a loud GASP sounds from nikita at the abrupt greeting, eyes widening thrice their usual size. “oh my God, blair ! you scared me !” how utterly ironic this was. the princess of fright, jumpier than even the most skittish of alley cats. she throws her gaze toward her niece, shoulders shrugging in a MEEK response. “i haven’t found out anything yet. it’s almost like it appeared out of nowhere.” kit purses her lips, refraining from making any comment on how being trapped in this dome almost made them lab experiments. “it’s weird.”

“Much better. I think I’ve broken my work phone I keep throwing it everywhere.” Hazel grimaced and gave a nervous giggle before nodding and crinkling her eyes with her smile. “Bless your absolute soul, madam.” She releases her friend, takes a deep breath. “I’m going to be much better once I find some damned tea. I’ve made my way through the entire stash that I could locate earlier.” she rubs her forehead, keeping her emotions under control and taking a deep breath, pointing at her wine. “Is that something that you might be willing to share?”

“ah, well. it’s not as if your work phone can make calls in this ... whatever this is. a dome, i think.” cecelia sighs ( rather loudly ) and takes a step back from her friend, glancing down the aisle. “did they move the tea ?” hm. interesting ... things must really have changed since lia had left. emerald hues shift to the bottle she’d placed on the shelf, and a semi sly smile graces her lips. oh, how this reminded her of when they were still in school, drinking wine and talking for hours on end. “of course i’m willing to SHARE. c’mon, you can come to cris and i’s apartment for a while. we have tea.”

“hey ; can you get a picture of me with this?” she held out her phone expectantly, camera already turned on, the this in question being the DOME. she hated it. she didn’t thin she had ever really hated anything, more - and she was one of the many who just wanted everything to go back to a version of normal, stat. but she was also andrea, and she didn’t deal with things the way she should have. she CARED, more than her words could let slip or her expression betray, but she confronted her feelings in a very different way, and looked for distractions from them in the only ways she knew how. hence - “when we get out of here, a snap of me in front of this thing could break the record that egg set.” 

eyes as blue as the mediterranean sea settle upon the outstretched hand, and the cell phone waiting expectantly within andrea’s palm. journey blinks at the device, nimble fingertips gently taking hold of the phone just as she was told. she couldn’t even begin to understand why andrea would have wanted a photo with the dome, but who was she to question someone else’s motives ? “i will take your photo, yes.” she answers in a voice that sounds other worldly -- almost too perfect to be human. a new upgrade of hers, it would seem. “would you prefer portrait mode or just a REGULAR photograph ?”

* closed starter for @rcttlingstars / “wait… what? did you say “eat people”? are you a cannibal, rhea?

“what the- no, kalei-” her eyes widened, her denial vehement enough that it seemed almost FAKE ; but of course, that wasn’t what rhea had MEANT. a classic case of her rambling being caught the exact wrong way. “i wasn’t…- i don’t EAT people. i’m just saying. doesn’t this remind you of, like…- survival situations, when people end up having to sacrifice their least favorite member of their friend group for sustenance? what happens when - IF we reach that point? i don’t know ‘bout you, but my siblings WILL vote me off the island.” 

“woah, woah, woah -- it was a joke, rhea, i promise !” kalei holds her hands up in surrender, a half smile playing at her lips. “i know you don’t eat people -- at least, i hope you don’t eat people -- you know, we should probably change the subject. how ‘bout this weather, hm ? stifling hot, enough to cook someone from the ... inside ...” and yet another pun made in poor taste by one kaleidoscope pelekai. “i should just stop now, shouldn’t i ?” she asks aloud, nodding as if to answer her own question. “eh, if you get voted off the island you can just hide with me.”

Considering Cat showed up in Buena Vista with no explanation and none of her things, she was doing reasonably well. The Dome was presenting an obvious problem, but other than that Cat was rather happy to be back. After settling into the apartment she was assigned, she decided to go shopping for the things she would need, clothes, shoes, notebooks for her poems. Cat was checking things off her list when she quite literally ran into someone. “Oh bloody hell. I’m sorry.” 

unlike some people, eden was having a remarkably terrible afternoon. it was far too hot in this dome, the town was seemingly running rampant on itself, and no one had any idea as to what was going on ! it was an absolute mess, and eden was one hundred percent over it. and, to make matters worse, she’s just damn near been trampled by someone who quite obviously wasn’t paying attention to their surroundings. the fairy stumbles back a few steps, managing to get herself together before tumbling to the ground. “you know, sometimes looking up and watching what you’re doing helps a great deal to avoid situations like this,” she speaks rather flippantly, her soft southern accent dripping with annoyance. “there are other people around besides you, after all.”

Quinn was on the phone with her mother when the line went dead. “Hello? Mum? Hello?” She looked at her phone, the phone screen completely black. “Stupid phone.” She mumbled before passing out. 

When she came to, everything was dark. Sitting up, she shivered, everything feeling horribly wrong. A sudden voice rang high in her mind. Help! Looking over her shoulder, Quinn found the source. A bird had flown straight into…a dome? “What the…” Help! The bird tweeted again. Quinn got up and rushed over to find the bird had a broken wing. “Hold on little one. I’ll help you.” Quinn looked at her surroundings not really finding anything that would be helpful. Instead she shouted at anyone who might be around. “Does anyone have a stick or a pencil?” 

a stick or pencil ? what an odd question at a time such as this. nevertheless, it was a person that needed help, and who was cecelia if not someone who would drop everything for everyone else ? she follows the sound of the voice, curiously glancing around a corner, eyes widening at the sight of the young woman and .. what was she holding ? lia squints in the dark as she steps closer, kneeling down beside the stranger. oh ! it was a bird. a broken-winged bird at that. “i’ve got something better than a pencil -- may i ?” she points to the bird, eyebrows raising in question.

No matter how long Jayden started at The Dome, the crazier the scenarios in his head became. If his hair had any length to it, he’d be pulling it out. Instead he settled for running his hands over his buzzcut, letting out a frustrated sigh. “Where the hell did you come from?” 

“you talkin’ t’me or the glass, pal ?” there’s a hint of amusement woven into rissa’s words as she saunters up beside jayden, arms folding over her chest. this dome is going to be a bit of an issue, but what-fucking-ever. “if it’s the latter, then i hate to be the one to break it to ya, but i doubt it’s gonna answer.”

[rcttlingstars]

“well, this fucking blows ...” aurelia taps on the thick glass separating her from the rest of the world, a frown marring her expression. just her luck, she’d end up stuck in some damn bubble with no obvious ways out. ha, kinda like being stuck in her mind for a few hours. is that too morbid ? probably. oh fucking well. an annoyed huff sounds and she throws her head back with a loud, agitated groan that perfectly hid just how afraid she was of this entire situation. “i know, i know, complaining is gonna get me no where, but give me five minutes to bitch about it and then i’ll be done, i swear.”
