-- primadonnaTartuffe [PT] began pestering obliteratedEmpath [OE] -- 

PT: tell me where youre at cuz im coming to see you.

OE: oh boy. 

OE: I'm at the skaia resort. penthouse.

PT: alright here i come. 

RYAN: -and there she goes, off to the resort and up to the penthouse. it's a strange feeling... all the emotions swirling around inside her gut that... actually seem to be processing through her mind with amazing clarity. there's just something about climactic moments such as these that are, appropriately, sobering.- 

RYAN: -knocks SOMEWHAT aggressively on the door when she arrives.- bitch lemme iiinnnn.

JINJIN: -It's probably inappropriate to be in the lap of luxury after what has occurred, and yet here Jinjin is. She was still very raw with the entire situation.- 

JINJIN: -Ryan isn't knocking for long before Jinjin opens the door, looking back at her cousin like welp you found me-

RYAN: -she isn't sure what to say now that she's here... so for a second she just stands there looking over at her until she's letting out the uncertainty with an exhale.- 

RYAN: jin... whatd you do that for?

JINJIN: I....-She looks down, around, anywhere but at Ryan before finally settling her gaze on her.- 

JINJIN: I don't know? she hurt you, hurt our friends. I guess she deserves to be hurt too. I didn't mean to actually HIT her, but...

RYAN: -fixes her with a stern look. stern but... very worried.- yeah okay sure. 

RYAN: but thats not like you. 

RYAN: i mean sure everyones capable of going off the deep end but!!! that shit doesnt happen for no reason. 

RYAN: so whats the reason?

JINJIN: she just...so easily fucked it up, fucked you up, fucked everyone up. I'm supposed to just sit by and let that happen? I'm supposed to just let her sit up there and get buddy buddy with joel while she's just laughing about stirring up all this shit for you to clean up? no! fuck that. maybe I can't actually help you with this mess but her I can do something about, I can...did make her hurt, make her maybe feel what everyone else was feeling....

RYAN: -expression softens as she listens to her.- baby... please. 

RYAN: so much of this mess i made on my own... long before nona was ever in the picture. you know? 

RYAN: what she did was fucked up yeah. but... it made everything... more real. it made me realize things i hadnt before... 

RYAN: you always did so much for me. maybe you feel like its never been enough but fuck. you shouldnt have to be proving yourself. you dont have to pick fights standing up for me. 

RYAN: youre enough just being you... and being my family. and my best friend. thats always... made more of a difference then i ever knew how to show.

JINJIN: -She's quiet, listening to her and sniffling a little. She hasn't done anything for anyone. All she'd ever done in her life was shut herself away smoke herself stupid. It was unbelievable that she'd EVER been, or done enough. - 

JINJIN: -She wipes at her face a little.- 

JINJIN: it's okay ry. you don't have to say all that. I mean, I really appreciate it but I don't think I've ever really done much for anybody least of all you. all I ever did was get high and stay in my room to escape my powers, I've never been...there. I don't know. I'm sorry ry.

RYAN: well shit jinjin... i know how it is. 

RYAN: maybe we both have things we gotta answer to cuz of our escapism. i dont wanna deny theres consequences. 

RYAN: it never helped me... i know i shouldve done more for people. even if people dont want me to feel responsible for it... that guilts still there. -tries reaching out to her to pull her into a hug.- 

RYAN: but we love each other. right? you broke a bitchs leg for me... if theres ever i time i felt sore about you being off on your own how the fuck can i possibly feel that way anymore??? thats the dopest shit anyones ever done on my account.

JINJIN: -SNUFFLE, but she's pulled into a hug and DON'T MAKE HER LAUGH 

RYAN. Hugs all this cousin.- 

JINJIN: I guess more of my parents rubbed off on me than I thought. I'm sorry ry...no more broken legs, I promise.

RYAN: -smiles a little up at her.- oh i feel it... 

RYAN: thanks tho i appreciate it. broken legs are more trouble than theyre worth. :weary:

[grubhivemind]

RYAN: -wandering around the castle again today. it's kinda nice having a big house to try and navigate and peep all the different rooms. she's a little nosy, sure, but whatever. at some point she finds a balcony to hang out on and gaze at the sights around castle. whatever those may be.-

JINJIN: -There's plenty to see, a sprawling city, and dizzying majesty skylines. Jinjin was tapping away on a datapad, important emails most likely, before stumbling onto the same balcony- JINJIN: beautiful ain't it hoe?

RYAN: yeah... -says kind of wistfully before looking over at her- 

RYAN: but not as beautiful as this hoe. <3

JINJIN: -Flips her hair.- 

JINJIN: bitch I know! :kiss:

RYAN: -leans on the railing of the balcony, chinhandsing at jin.- 

RYAN: whats up? you look like youre busy with something there.

JINJIN: emails for precious thots. the store on skaia was damaged heavily. and there's also emails pertaining tho chanda. you know, the usual. 

JINJIN: you look like you've got a lot on your mind.

RYAN: right right. busy busy busy. 

RYAN: -she shrugs though.- i mean i guess. 

RYAN: im just restless... i wanna go home but i mean. i dont think anybody is there right now. 

RYAN: and even when i get there??? what am i gonna do.

JINJIN: shank a bitch, pop that ass, and get a night job as a lounge singer? not in that particular order. 

JINJIN: -She goes ahead and leans next to her.- 

JINJIN: or you could just keep hanging out here with me.

RYAN: -smiles a little- i think i will stick to that for now. 

RYAN: its nice here. 

RYAN: and i miss yoo... :kissing_closed_eyes:

JINJIN: d'aww ain't that cute. you can kelp keep me sane while the whiny dog buoy is here.

RYAN: hahaha. 

RYAN: yeah you sure dont seem too fond of silly ass. :hugging:

JINJIN: he's clingy, whiny, and a shit head. -He also can't take dick but that's another story- 

JINJIN: but anywave, this is where I live now, and I help advise chanda since my powers help keep her level headed.

RYAN: aww. 

RYAN: thats really sweet. :heart_eyes:

RYAN: wish i had magic powers to make my boy calm his ass down... :unamused: -but then again she can't always blame him-

JINJIN: you do! it's called that na-na, gurl. put it on him, watch him chill all the way out hee hee!

RYAN: ohhhh my god. 

RYAN: i mean!!!! 

RYAN: i would but were kinda... easing into this again. i guess.

JINJIN: oh no. that's really cute though... 

JINJIN: lil ry bread is taking it slow that's how you know it's real!

RYAN: shut up. :flushed:

RYAN: its being kind of... rough tho. 

RYAN: he took me falling off the wagon pretty badly. and then he got mad at himself for being upset about it??? like i can blame him for being upset. 

RYAN: but he keeps being moody. i dunno. -slumps against the railing with a sigh, resting her head on folded arms- its complicated.

JINJIN: isn't he always kind of moody though. -She's quiet for a second.- 

JINJIN: he really cares, but he shouldn't shit on himself for caring. it'll work out, babygill. -Reaches a scratches Ryans head gently-

RYAN: -nuzzles a little into her hand.- mmm. :persevere:

RYAN: i hope so. RYAN: im worried about him too after what happened... not just cuz of his injury but his visions are like way intense. and he had one about the attack on skaia. RYAN: i remember they used to make him really depressed... ugh. 

RYAN: I JUST!!!! 

RYAN: feelings.

JINJIN: I could see why something so intense would make him feel that way, especially if he can't control them. -Deep within Ryan might be feeling small comforts. Jack is alive, he's strong, and persevering. There may even be a way to help train his powers. With all the abilities their family and friends have, it's not far fetched. There exists hope, she just needs to believe in it- 

JINJIN: I know it's a lot babygill.

RYAN: -she seems to give into these comforts, leaning against jinjin some more. it's such a relief to be here... around jinjin, familiar faces, but a new environment too. as stressed as she is, it strangely gives her breathing room. enough to put things into perspective a little easier.- 

RYAN: ... i miss you a lot you know.

JINJIN: -That makes her heat sink a little, put into perspective how scarce she really was. She really wasn't there for her family anymore, even if they were scattered across the galaxy. Jinjin keeps petting her head, a soft and sad smile crossing her lips.- 

JINJIN: I miss you too. a girl should never be too busy for family.

RYAN: -it's not like ryan can talk, being the runaway and all. at least jinjin keeps in touch. but maybe that's what makes it extra difficult -- seeing how everyone has changed and all the ways their lives are different, completely seperate from her own... it reminds her of everything she missed out on. she should've been around to watch jinjin grow. she should've grown with her.- 

RYAN: at least i know where to find you. :kissing_eyes_closed:

JINJIN: please feel free to come bother me whenever. I'll sit on you, if you don't. 38p

RYAN: :scream:

RYAN: i wont be able to survive your big old booty squarshing me!

JINJIN: gonna make a hoecake! 3B;D
