Week 5: Wednesday

[disclosures]

[It seems like she's trying to reach for something small up on a high ledge. There's a stack of tables arranged in almost a staircase as she grabs whatever it is. She doesn't know who's around her and what the result of touching it is going to be.

But once she's grabbed it, the memory bubble starts, as she's running out of a building. It ends after the flashback scene.]

[As Rebecca's own memory ends, Veronica's own memory begins to blend into it. It ends just as Veronica shares a kiss with JD, thus allowing them to pop the bubble and escape.

Except, you know, Veronica's first reaction is going to be to recoil back instead of trying to get out of here because. Well.]

Oh, what the fuck?

[disclosures]

[While she watches through the memory, Rebecca's still uncomfortable from going through her own repressed memory. There was a reason she didn't want to think about it. About what she did when Robert decided to leave her.

Get drunk and commit arson.]

... I hate this.

[asswipe]

[low key does rebecca need a therapist becomes high key, tbh.]

... Are you okay?

[disclosures]

[high key Rebecca needs to talk to her therapist.]

I'm- I'm... not going to faint again, if that's what you're worried about.

[asswipe]

I'm worried about that, yeah. But, um... Are you okay emotionally, too?

[disclosures]

Oh. That?

[She scrunches up her face as she considers it.]

Probably not. Not for a long time.

[asswipe]

[y i k e s.]

Do you... Do you want another hug? Booze? A... guy to punch in the face?

[disclosures]

A hug would be a great start. But a guy to punch in the face sounds great too.

[asswipe]

... A hug I can help with now. We'll see about the guy later?

[But, yeah. Time for hugs.]

[disclosures]

[She'll hug her back.]

What about you? Who was that guy?

[asswipe]

[Just. Gonna pat her back, trying to be comforting.]

Um... Remember my ex-boyfriend? The one who broke into my room? [He was kind of the whole psycho package, rip.]

[disclosures]

[She's not ready to pull away from this hug yest.]

... Yeah... Oh god, that was him?

It's okay- well, no. It definitely sucks. But there was a guy who broke into my house too. He made me an entire meal- it was weird.

[asswipe]

[It's fine. Veronica has ranked up to Skill Lvl. 10 on hugging since the murders began, rip.]

—What. Seriously? Holy shit, that's fucking creepy. Did you get a restraining order on that guy?

[disclosures]

[A lot of people really need hugs. It's not that weird- people have been dying.]

I got distracted and I... kind of needed him for something. Still wasn't expecting him to get in like that.

[Lock your doors!!]

[asswipe]

Jesus Christ. I hope you got what you needed out of him. That crap's scary.

[disclosures]

He was useful. But I never want to see him again.

[There's a long pause.] Oh god, he knows where I live.

[asswipe]

Have you considered a restraining order?

[disclosures]

Somehow I feel like he's going to find away around it.

But I'll try to get one once I'm home...After I take a while for myself.

[asswipe]

... Taking a while for yourself is a good idea. I think we all need a vacation after this.
