Zero Divide - Episode #1 - "Looking Glass"

[Vanifae]

She'd have to play it safe. See if anyone else remembered. Tip the hand, and there'd just be another flash back...and Facade wasn't sure she could hold onto the memories every time. To see if anyone noticed the repeat, she 'dressed' in the Librarian again, even in the same dress...then headed downstairs.

Façade walks outside and sees Michael just standing in the hallway, outside his door. Alan or the man that was Alan walks outside and sees Façade and Michael in the hallway as he makes his way downstairs for some breakfast.

Ian

The radio seems in good order by the time he is done with it.

 

[Shalimar]

The blue haired teen named haven looked like a little cherub as he slept, his right arm and leg hanging out mournfully over the side of his bed. the sheet was tangled up about his waist yet still managing to reveal a long line of naked thigh. With his eyes shut and his mouth in a peaceful smile he didn't have the almost omnipresent mischevious expression he wore when he was awake.

Haven had found that he couldn't help himself, he always had to be flirting, always had to be easing tensions with a joke or by striking a ridiculous pose, or with an outrageous comment that couldn't help but bring laughter. Every one was so serious all the time, but that wasn' for him, what good could it do? Regardless of who they were before they were all in the same boat now and they might as well enjoy it, and really, what could possibly be better than sex? He couldn't remember anything, but he was dead sure that sex was the most fun a person could possibly have.

*Crash* Haven had rolled off the bed, and grinning laughed at himself as he rose, sliding on a robe so he coul take a shower. Left to his own devices he thought he might have just gone naked even with the house this full, but he had been told not to. It wasn't sexual, it was just being comfortable in his own skin, and if anyone was that, it was definitely the guy with hair matching the cookie monster.

After a quick shower, taking no more than five minutes using the toilet and brushing his teeth included, Haven was back in his room throwing on a pair of jeans. Once he had his jeans on he headed downstairs for breakfast, rubbing at his bare tummy, his pleasantly hairless and six-packed tummy.

"Morning sexy, want to check my library card?" he flirted with Facade good naturedly, aware of what she called this form. It didn't particularly bother him that Facade could actually be a guy. Smiling at the mousey looking woman, he picks up an apple and bites into it.

 

[Vanifae]

I have come to the conclusion that BLUE on black is painful to read. I will use red for all future memory buttons.

 

[Shayuri]

Facade whirls and pins Haven with a glance. Time to start pushing on the edges and seeing if something gave.

"What would you do if I said yes?" she asks. "In fact, what would you say if I said forget the library card...you can check me out whenever you want?"

As she spoke, she changed...becoming taller, fuller, more curved and shapely. Her plain/pretty face shifted slightly to a rounder, classically beautiful configuration that highlighted smoldering green eyes, sleek nose, full rosebud lips. The increase in size and measurements made the dress, once quite modest, considerably more daring. All in all, she now looked more like a sexpot wearing the Librarian's clothes for an alluring Halloween costume.

 

[Shalimar]

Haven smiles, "I would say lay on MacDuff and damned be he who first cries 'hold, enough'." The blue haired teen certainly looks eager enough, with a slightly cocky grin, and beneath it a bit of lost little boy peeking out. That was his charm, why women found him so attractive, he was cute but underneath all the flirting and joking around there was a lost little boy that also appealed to the mother in them.

He moves forward, bring his lips to hers, or rather bringing his lips almost to hers. There was still enough room that the kiss would definitely be her choice, but it wiuld only take a negligible movent. Haven waits for her to take the lead, feeling the warmth of her breath along his cheek.

 

[Shayuri]

Interesting. So it's not just an act. Good to know.

She doesn't quite kiss him...instead slipping a finger between their lips and using it to gently push away.

"On the other hand, until we get our memories back, it might be best not to do anything we can't take back. Thank you for satisfying my curiosity though."

She resumes her previous, much less voluptuous form, pats Haven's cheek, and continues down the stairs, her face cloudy as she returns to the real question at hand...for her at least.

How do I crack this enough to see through the holes, without them switching us back to the start again....?

 

[Victim]

But I haven't seen anything with a date on it around here, with the exception of the strange magazine, Ashley thinks in reply to Ian. Wait, I'm in bed? I was in the kitchen talking with Ian, Michael, Dee, and the stranger Mira. And I was holding something that might be important. She flips off her sheets and looks at her empty hands; it was gone. This explains why each day blurs together and I can't keep track of how long I've been here. They can't seriously think I'm going to stand for this. I have only a limited window to act, but being too precipitous could provoke them - Mira's intrusion may have prompted some kind of response. Or perhaps Michael noticed that I remembered something; he seemed to get a funny look shortly after my experience.

Ashely throws on a baggy T-shirt and shorts, then bounds downstairs and into kitchen. This is happening somehow. Something in the food or drink? An ability? Some advanced device using 22nd century technology - if Mira had been truthful, then her captors may have lots of advantages, especially in surveillance. Well, if you waited for 100% certainty, then you'd never do anything, right? Maybe not eating will make a difference.

She comes in as Haven? and Facade? just ceased being very close. "Good..." Umm, awkward. It doesn't really have anything to do with my current goals anyway. And so what if I might be a little envious? "... morning."

If we collapsed from being drugged for a day, there might be some indication. Ian is pretty big. She studies the kitchen and her fellow amnesiacs for bruises or dents.

 

[Shalimar]

Haven kisses Facade's finger when she pushes it between their lips as a quick show of what she was missing but alows her to push off from him. Tease, the flirt thought with a grin as the shapeshifter continued on. It was all just part of the game, but boy it was hard sometimes.

Shaking his head Haven continues on to the kitchen and grabbed an apple to munch. He leans against the Island and chews thoughtfully on his apple. "Morning Ashley." the blue haired teen says, "Whats hot?"

Dee looks to see others congregating in the kitchen and nods to the others. Everyone looks fine, and despite morning hair, or wrinkled clothes everyone seems normal. Krishna is lying in the corner of the kitchen, his ears perked slightly as he rests.

Dee yawns grabbing some toast, “So how did everyone sleep, about as crappy as I did?”

 

[James Heard]

Alan shrugs noncommittally.

"I guess I can't complain. Not without knowing more about what I should be complaining about, right?"

He sips his coffee with amusement.

"I just can't believe we're not in some database somewhere. It's like we dropped off of the face of the Earth along with having our heads screwed up. Isn't there anyone out there looking for us?"

He looks over at the dog.

"Has anyone fed Krishna yet?"

He leans over and rubs the dog's head vigorously with a smile, balancing his coffee in one hand high above him.

"Maybe later on this afternoon we should go check up with the police about our situation?"
