Jun Min nods, “The program is to reinforce the suggestion. Just relax Mark, I need you to relax and listen to my voice. Alright, just close you eyes, stay relaxed, this will be over it before you know it.”

Mark did his best to comply.

Jun Min snaps her fingers and the tingling feeling in mark’s head dissipates. She smiles, “How do you feel?”

Mark's body came under control. He shook his head slowly and blinked a few times, "It's gone." Mark rubbed his forehead as though trying to touch what Jun Min did.

"Um, thanks!" Mark smiled weakly. "So what's the program? Twelve steps?"

OOC: she's wandering in search of a place she can find to make something to eat. A kitchen or the like.

Each room has its own kitchen, although room is a misnomer, they are large suites with all amenities of a full size home, with an eye towards luxury and comfort. Food is easy to come by and she can find something to eat with ease.

Jun Min's replies, “Not sure, that will be up to the Health Specialists, but I am sure it will probably something similar to what you were doing before. Although I find swimming may be helpful to your recovery, like I said this isn’t full proof, and it could break. If it does let me know immediately, hopefully the program will help reinforce the suggestion.”

“You are free to go, unless you want to hang out with me and grade school work,” she jokes.

"I guess I have to go find Star," Mark agreed, not really looking forward to the prospect. "Thanks anyway."

Mark left and went looking for Star. How long is this going to last? Am I really going to go to her again when it goes and I want some? Getting high feels a lot better.

Star is sitting outside under a tree, the sun setting giving the sky a pink hue. She does not look up as Mark approaches, she has an almost plastic blank look on her face, making her emotions difficult if impossible to read. She says softly, “Hi.”

The message opens:

Kal lays on his bed, “What is it?”

A worried frown creases Karen's forehead, "Either it's some kind of sick joke, or someone is warning me that they're keeping an eye on me," she sighed, "I wouldn't be surprised if Paragon is keeping tabs on me to get a lead on Bishop... It would only be logical right?" she shrugged, "Not that I even know how to contact him or anything..."

She sits down next to him on the bed, taking his pillow and rolling it up before tucking it under her shirt, hoping it wouldn't stretch too much, "So... you really think I'd still look pretty with a belly like this?" she asks with a playful smile.

Kal replies, "Huh?"

He blinks, “Wow you are really serious about this whole baby thing? I guess you would look nice in anything, even with a baby onboard, but aren’t we a little young to be planning a family… I mean I am all for it, but lets enjoy our time now. When we get married and have kids, then I am sure things will be great.”

He sits up, “I mean I love kids, just glad I don’t have any yet, but when I do, it will be great, and you can yell at them to eat their spinach, and I can teach them how to play football and beat up bad guys. Like a normal family, well normal for us anyway.”

Star is sitting outside under a tree, the sun setting giving the sky a pink hue. She does not look up as Mark approaches, she has an almost plastic blank look on her face, making her emotions difficult if impossible to read. She says softly, “Hi.”

Mark stopped a respectful distance away. "I was wrong," he began, "and I suck. I'm going to get help and...I don't deserve anything from you. I let my problem take control and I tried to use you. It's the worst thing I ever did, and I've done a lot of bad things and let a lot of bad things happen to me. I know I hurt you more than anybody should ever be hurt. If I could give back what I took from you, I would. I'd give up all the money and I'd go back to doing...what I did before I came here."

With great effort, Mark made himself look at Star. Tears streamed down his face and he barely kept his voice steady. "You're the best person I know and I treated you like a cheap whore. I deserve anything you want to do to me. If you want to hit me, shoot me, burn me, cut me, anything. I'll go away from here and never come back so you never have to see me again if that's what you want. I'm trash. Being an elite just gave me a pretty face but I'm still a ugly, worthless junkie inside. I proved that today."

"I don't deserve your foregiveness, or your friendship. I don't deserve to be on the same planet as you. I'm a big waste of food, air, and shoes. I don't deserve to say your name and just by standing here I'm making it worse. I'm a disease and being here I'm just going to hurt you more."

"Maybe I can get off drugs and stay off but it's never going to change what I am inside. I'm still going to be a thing walking around looking like a person. I just have to live with what I did. I deserve it. I only wish you didn't have to get hurt. I'm sorry."

Mark slowly turned and began to walk away from Star. I can't stay here. I'll quit. I'll leave all of my stuff and call Gianni and tell him to give back the money on the contracts I'm not going to be following through with. I can be out of here in a few hours. Maybe I'll go way out into the ocean somewhere and just stop running. Or go find a really poisonous snake and piss it off. Anything but an OD.

"I just have to live with what I did. I deserve it. I only wish you didn't have to get hurt. I'm sorry."

“I don’t want you to leave,” Star says softly, “I am not sure what I want, a part of me wants to hate you, and it feels strange to think about. Another part wants to forgive you, and forget this all happened. But I know that logically it won’t work.”

“Mark, I don’t want to be angry with you,” she looks down rests her chin on her knees, “but I am not sure what else to be. I know that none of this is real,” she says aloud, “all one big fantasy that fell apart when it came face to face with reality.”

“Maybe we can just agree that we both made mistakes,” she says softly.

Mark stopped and turned to face Star again.

"You deserve to be angry with me. I wish I could be the person you want me to be. I'm not, but I teased you with it to get what I wanted."

“Maybe we can just agree that we both made mistakes,” she says softly.

"Your only mistake was giving me a chance. I like you. I care about you. I want you around me and in my life. I want everything to be like you wanted it to be, but you deserve better than me. You're too good of a person," Mark sadly concluded.
