(Open starter - in celebration of Pride month yo!)

Apsara looked around at all the brightly coloured clothes, the banners, the stalls. Truthfully, she felt rather drab in her own black, grey and purple flag, draped around her shoulders like a cape; a symbol of pride. The Pride festivals in London were huge, and the streets always overflowed with people, singing and dancing and just having fun. Apsara had never been to one of these events before, and she felt like she should have had some kind of sense of belonging, but she just didn't. There didn't seem to be anyone else in her colours, and she'd already had a couple of rude remarks thrown her way. Maybe this wasn't a place for her after all...

"Apsara," the teacher told her as she helped the little girl to lay down on the stretcher, "And, you may have guessed, this is Ali."

The little girl stared up at the EMT with wonder in her eyes, mouth forming a little "o". "We've been learning about you in school! You help people! Is it true that you can fix my foot?"

apsarak:

Apsara nodded, a strained smile pulling at her lips. She knew she probably looked exhausted, worry lines creasing her brow, but she could feel the tension beginning to seep out of her muscles now that help was here.

“Yes, please. I’m her teacher, and I can’t leave her unattended. We tried phoning her mother but… Well…” She shook her head, not wanting to continue that sentence in front of the little girl. Ali had suffered enough trauma already today. To hear that her mother wasn’t coming because she was too drunk to drive would just make things worse. Despite the anger that bubbled inside her at the thought of the mother, she managed to keep a bright smile for Ali’s sake. “Well, I just thought she’d appreciate a familiar face until her granny shows up.” Kneeling in front of the little girl, she took the smaller hands in hers. “Your granny is coming over from Wales to visit you until you’re better. Isn’t that exciting?”

The little girl cheered up immediately and Apsara gave her hand a gentle squeeze. “But first, we need to let Scout take you to the hospital to make your foot all better.”

upon hearing her prolonged ‘well’, Scout understood right away. “I understand.” 

“well, come on then,” she called another EMT to bring the stretcher, “alright Ali, just lie down on that so you don’t have to walk anymore.”

as she held up the stretcher–the girl was surprisingly light–she looked at the teacher and asked, “alright, now you just come with me. and your name is?”

💯

What is my muse's ideal date?Something simple, but sweet. A picnic date or something would be wonderful. Something where I can get to know the person that I'm with. I don't really like anything too fancy; sometimes it makes me feel awkward.

[apsarak-blog]

😘

Would my muse have sex on the first date?I-I... I don't think so, no. To be honest, I'm not really sure where I stand with the whole idea of sex. The thought just seems strange to me...

2:Do you miss anyone? | 10:Have you ever told somebody you loved them and not actually meant it? | 15:Is it hard for you to get over someone? | 35:Are there any stressful situations in your life?

2; Do you miss anyone?Yes. I miss my friends and my siblings very much. I haven't seen any of them since I was adopted. I assume they're still in India, but I wouldn't even know how to start tracking them down. The orphanage doesn't have many records...10; Have you ever told anyone you loved them and didn't actually mean it?Ehm... My adoptive parents... But in a relationship? No. I don't think that's a fair thing to do...15; Is it hard for you to get over someone?I suppose it depends. If I'm still invested, then yes. It's also a lot harder if the break up is nasty. I like to try to remain friends.Losing friends though; that's always horrible and takes a long time to get over...35; Are there any stressful situations in your life?My relationship with my adoptive parents is really strained, but otherwise I'm really content with life. I'm in quite a good place right now. But I suppose everyone has stressful situations sometimes.

Either Jiya or Kiara. I'm not quite sure which I prefer.

Hm... That's one I've never tried before... Maybe I will one day. I used to make wishes on shooting stars, but I haven't done that in years...

Apsara nodded, a strained smile pulling at her lips. She knew she probably looked exhausted, worry lines creasing her brow, but she could feel the tension beginning to seep out of her muscles now that help was here.

"Yes, please. I'm her teacher, and I can't leave her unattended. We tried phoning her mother but... Well..." She shook her head, not wanting to continue that sentence in front of the little girl. Ali had suffered enough trauma already today. To hear that her mother wasn't coming because she was too drunk to drive would just make things worse. Despite the anger that bubbled inside her at the thought of the mother, she managed to keep a bright smile for Ali's sake. "Well, I just thought she'd appreciate a familiar face until her granny shows up." Kneeling in front of the little girl, she took the smaller hands in hers. "Your granny is coming over from Wales to visit you until you're better. Isn't that exciting?"

The little girl cheered up immediately and Apsara gave her hand a gentle squeeze. "But first, we need to let Scout take you to the hospital to make your foot all better."

apsarak:

Apsara waited nervously in the school office, one arm around the shoulders of a wailing child, trying to comfort her as much as she could. The little girl had fallen awkwardly on the way down the stairs, and now her foot was bruised and swollen, unable to bear any weight. It didn’t look as if anything was obviously broken though, so the young teacher counted her blessings that it wasn’t as bad as it could have been.

An ambulance had been called, and all Apsara could do was try to soothe her student, who had been consistently wailing since the incident. Apsara couldn’t really blame her. She was only four after all.

A sound, blaring in the distance caught her attention and she breathed a soft sigh of relief. “Listen Ali, that’s the ambulance! They’re going to come and help you!” The little girl sniffed, finally calming down a little. Apsara had made sure to teach them about the emergency services, and little Ali had obviously taken to heart that an ambulance was going to make her better.

A few moments later, and the door opened, one of the secretaries ushering a young EMT into the room. Apsara stood and smiled, first at the little girl, and then at the emergency responder. “Hi, thanks for coming so quickly! Little Ali here fell down the stairs, didn’t you sweetheart?”

@acxso

working weekdays didn’t bother her, especially now that she had Wednesdays in uni almost free. she loved her job. 

upon hearing that it was only a young girl who’d been injured–something worse than a sprained ankle or, god forbid, internal bleeding–she rushed to the scene a bit too fast, even if it bothered her fellow technicians. while she was usually a stickler for protocol if life-or-death wasn’t involved, she was only a kid. 

luckily, upon arrival, it wasn’t as bad as it could’ve been. she exhaled in relief. “oh fuck, okay,–” she clamped her hand on her mouth. she really had to do something with the swearing problem. 

“hi there, sweetie” she said, kneeling in front of the girl,, my name’s Scout and i’ll be helping you out today.” she looked at the girl’s inflamed injury, unfazed. “you’re gonna be completely fine, we just have to take you to the hospital.” 

Scout looked up at the woman beside her. “will you be riding along with us? we allow one guardian?”

Wanted connections

Making a post for this right now, and either tomorrow or on Thursday, I'll link it to a page or something. So, wanted connections for Apsara; 1) A roommate that she's lived with since moving out of her adoptive parents' house. Male or female, but preferably a good friend 2) In the same vein; friends. Maybe a best friend that she can talk to about anything 3) A love interest; she's a bit of a romantic but probably quite shy when it comes to anything to do with relationships, so any potential partner would maybe have to be patient 4) Her younger sibling, who she hasn't seen since she was adopted from the orphanage in India. She's always thought it would be impossible to find her sibling again since they were lost in the system, but she'll never stop looking 5) An adopted sibling; the child of the couple who adopted her. The couple are well off, but not very loving, and they have very high expectations of Apsara. They could treat their biological child the same way, or they could have a preference, whatever is best for the muse

Apsara smiled sheepishly, holding out some napkins that she'd hastily grabbed from a nearby table.

"I'm so sorry! I guess my head just isn't on this morning. Let me buy you a new one."

She'd been heading into the local Starbucks for her own caffeine fix before her shift when she'd pushed open the door all too hastily, accidentally bumping the man who'd been on the other side and spilling his coffee everywhere.

“Well… That’s not exactly how I expected to get my caffeine fix, but life’s full of surprises.” Beau laughed, shaking the spilled iced coffee from his hands and wiping droplets from his face.
