[QUOTE="Shayuri, post: 5034871, member: 4936"] On awakening, Silhouette reached instinctively for her face, pressing both her palms to her cheeks and clutching at them. It was there, solid and comfortable; a thing of flesh and blood and bone that hid the howling emptiness beneath that she knew was there. [i]A dream.[/i] In another heartbeat she was out of bed and ready to throw what clothes she could into an overnight bag and flee. She'd done it before, when she thought a Keeper was near. Her apartment was all but empty, with the threadbare sofa and table bought from yard sales and neighbors moving out. There was a microwave in the kitchen, and she kept her clothes either hung in the closet, or in wire-frame drawers she'd bought for a pittance from Walgreens. Her conditions weren't because she had no money, or any way to make money. They were because, in her mind at least, she was a fugitive and always would be. She stopped herself from packing, though she couldn't stop the shaking in her hands. Sometimes a dream was just a dream. And even if not, it was unlikely her Keeper would announce herself in nightmares before appearing. That Silhouette had awakened at all was convincing evidence that the dream, whatever it's origins, was not that. Knowing that whatever remaining sleep that morning was lost to her, Silhouette drifted into the little kitchen; thin and vaguely ethereal even to mortal eyes with her pale skin and dark hair and shift. She could make herself beautiful to look at, but at home by herself she clung to her old shape...plain as it might be. As she put together a modest breakfast, Sil's mind returned to the dream and expertly picked it apart into its pieces. As she chewed and swallowed, she organized the pieces and began to tinker with them. The fear gone, all that was left was an intriguing puzzle. She was rather fond of those...though she realized now that that was one reason she was in the situation she was in now. (OOC - Argh, do you have a preference for how new we are in town? If Sil just arrived, she's probably looking for work. If some time has passed she may have found some. I'm fine either way.) [/QUOTE]
