jessie mei lei. twenty-eight. nonbinary. they/them. heterosexual & libra. โพ ๏พ is that zelma wu behind the mask? whenever i see the psychiatric assistant at beacon mental health and counseling in pigalle, i think of across the universe by the beatles. rumor has it they are compassionate & insightful, but indecisive & self-effacing can be their fatal flaws. what their neighbors in arcueil gated community call them is the saccharine.

Robust string of emotions had never been a habitual fragment for one that had coarsed through life sputtering pretenses โโ a gander would exhibit too much of the debris they had rounded within a veil; cracks, febbleness, a person beneath the lingering enigma. Yet fortitudes collided and collapsed altogether when they discovered themself in a predicament where they could scantily restrain aches, both physical and at times, mental, the grueling burden they had been carrying a little more heavier these past couple of months with how their baby seemed to refuse socking himself out of their bellyย and with the additional outburst of panic, anxiety lapped over their senses, declining interlude in-between the horror they had just imbibed on the Ferris Wheel ride ( safe to say it was another hushed case โโ a fear of heights rolled within the tongue of bravado ) and then the shut-down, the cryptic message, and the fact that their spouse was still nowhere to be discovered. Trust had been handed to them for a long time, knowledge that they were able to care for themselves, but it was impossible still โโ not to worry, not to sense dread filling up their stomach as others shrieked and expressed their bewilderment. Deciding to sit down on one of the benches, the brunette licked their lips, unfamiliar tears brimmed, no matter how much their ears had deceived them lately, the muffled noises were sufficient for a sturdy, intangible chokehold. Without realizing it, they became red-cheeked, wetted from the sobs they hadnโt realized had begun to escape. Upon recognizing that they, themself, had become a spectacle to some, Sera hurriedly swept their eyes with their arm. Calm down. Calm down. โSorry. Sorry, itโs just that my partner hasnโt come back and itโs been โโ who knows how long. I think he was supposed to come back here fast, but I โโโ curse pregnancy for altering them into a tumbled pile of mess like this, โI donโt even know how much time has passed. Iโm terrified, something could have happened to him.โย
Nights spent in the splendor of Paris were delights that Zelmaโs indulged in as earnestly as they could while their introverted nature was vying for a release from social constraints after a full forty hour work week. The twist came at sincerely comedic timing for the psychiatric attendant โ as they accepted two full scoops of black-dyed vanilla ice cream, the power surged then vanished, and the initial shock loosened their grip on the waffle cone and their delectable treat disintegrated on the fairgrounds of the carnival. Faraway, panicked screams alarmed them and they made quick work of wiping off the crumbs of the cone on their pencil skirt and moving in long strides toward whoever was within arms reach. While navigating an encumbrance of previously uncharted land in the darkness wasnโt how Zelma wished they could have offered their hospitality, at least they were graceful in each calculated step as the distinct sound of sobbing caught their ear.ย โOh, here,โ they said, voice rolling like a spool of satin, knees planted in the dirt and soiling their pantyhose as they reached for the familiar figureโs hand.ย โIโm here. Itโs Zelma, Dustinโs friend. I am sure heโs on his way. Heโs always very worried about you, so heโll be quick. Talks about you all the time during our visits, I am quite envious.โ A gentle smile fit against their lips, painted a crimson red that was uncharacteristic of their typical style.ย โYou donโt have to apologize to me. Iโll stay with you until he comes.โ It wouldnโt be morally correct, in their mind, to abandon a heavily pregnant person when the whole world around them had been unplugged. Plus, they were their friendโs most treasured loved one โ carrying an even smaller and more beloved companion within.
If you were in the Purge, what would you do? Would you be the one hiding or the one creating havoc?
โOh, no. That sounds awful! I would hide, thatโs for certain. Iโd dig my own bunker so I wouldnโt have to have any part in it! Iโm strong, believe it or not, I could do it.โ
๐ช FAMILY - what is their family like? what is your ocs relationship to them? does your oc have any siblings?
โIโm afraid weโre a little broken. I havenโt spoken to my father in a while, my mother either... I think I speak the most to my Nai-Nai. Itโs always just been me, no siblings, so Iโm her favorite by default.โ
๐ข ANGER - what are some habits they have that will take some getting used to?
โI often flinch when someone makes any sudden movement. Itโs embarrassing, because they always feel awful, but it isnโt their fault.โ
๐ SEE-NO-EVIL - whats a side of your oc that they donโt want to show other people?
โUm... My... Past, I think. I like to keep moving forward. I see no reason in rehashing all the sad stories Iโve lived. Theyโre of no use to anyone.โ
๐ธ CAMERA - do they enjoy having their picture taken? whatโs their go-to pose? do they like taking photos? what do they take photos of?
โI do! I like when people take pictures when I donโt know thereโs a camera even around. I forget the name for it, though. I donโt really have a pose, but I like taking pictures of the scenery. Paris is truly a marvel.โ
โ๏ธ COMET - what do people assume about them? are they right?
โThat Iโm very shy. I donโt think thatโs necessarily true, but Iโm certainly not the one to go crowd surfing or anything crazy like that. I just enjoy my peace and quiet.โ
