hi, i’m alex! i roleplay on this blog ( along with several others, whoops ), i’m 22, and i’m a lesbian. a bit over a month ago i got surgery on my broken leg ( it was really really bad, bad enough to need surgery the next day ). i’m still in recovery which means i can’t work! i plan on going back to work as soon as i can but i’m still gonna have at least 1 more month without a job. i’m still in pain and can’t really go from place to place without a walker and i need money to afford stuff like food and pain relieving medication for my leg! thanks in advance!

‘  dude.  dude.  ’  HE’S MURMURING UNDERBREATH  as  AUBREY LITTLE  catches his attention first,  feet skidding to a halt nearby.  ‘  aubrey.  aubrey,  hey!  ’  a long inhale.  before words spill rapidfire:  ‘  —so i just slipped in the shower,  right,  and my life???  oh man.  hey.  ‘course jake caught himself.  my life flashed before my eyes.  it isn’t just movies.  how long do you think it would have taken for someone to find me??  ’

@fireslung.

‘   HOLY SHIT!   ’      she’s matching him in dramatics   ,   eyes wide as he recounts his near - death experience.      ‘   i mean   ,   we’d notice you were mysteriously missing sooner or later!   also   ,   the lodge only has so many bathrooms   ,   so like   ,   someone would’ve busted in and found you eventually   —   i’d give it two hours   ,   tops.   but!   more importantly!   are you okay?   and like   ,   on a scale of one to a hundred   ,   how many cool stunts did you see when your life did the flashy thing?   ’

     ‘ Uhhhh. I don’t know. Used to be over there — ’ He gestures vaguely, fingers splayed. ‘ — but I guess it’ll turn up again eventually. I wouldn’t say she’s very flammable at all but, well, stranger things have happened, I suppose. — Why? ’ 

‘   WELL...   ’      with some notable exceptions   ,   aubrey’s not usually a spill about her super cool and also sometimes super terrifying fire powers within the first week kinda gal   ,   but considering she’s in a spaceship   ,   it wouldn’t be the weirdest event of the day.   so   —   click of the fingers   ,   flame on.   just a little one   ,   like she’s holding up a lighter at the smallest concert in the world.      ‘   ‘cuz of that?   i’m kind of a walking fire hazard!   ’

         “   .  .  .   oooh-kay.   ”         not   the   strangest   thing   she’s   ever   heard.   not  even   the   strangest   thing   she’s   heard   this   week.         “   what   if   it’s   raining,   thought   ??   ”

‘   I MEAN...   rain definitely puts a damper on it.   ’      that’s a pun.   aubrey didn’t see the pun till the words were already out   ,   but now that she does   ,   she takes a second to grin about it before she continues.      ‘   but i can do stuff with water too sometimes   ,   if i try   ,   so   ,   y’know.   that’s fine.   it’s just not as cool as fire!   ’

“ … it isn’t. your subjective definition of ‘real’ is only based on the distinction between the explained and the unexplained — if you really think about it. ”

‘   IF YOU REALLY REALLY THINK ABOUT IT   ,   real is like...   the color green!   how do i know that how i see green is the same color as how you see green?   how do i know that my real is the same as yours?   it’s all subjective!   ’

The elevator doors slide open and a girl with some sign he doesn’t care to read rushes past him. He’ll have to fire whatever unpaid intern let her sneak through the lobby. He steps around her into the elevator and presses the button for the tenth floor. She throws an arm in front of the doors, stopping them from closing.

He huffs out an annoyed sigh. Exasperated:

          “Okay. Alright. Okay. What is this? What are you doing here? Is this a protest? Are you protesting me?”

He pulls out his best de niro impression (it’s not bad, it’s pretty good; it better be, he practices it every day–during slow phone conferences or when he’s hiding in his office letting constituent calls go to his secretary and interns–and he holds his conscience hostage while he does it):

          “Are you protesting me?”

Back to the point.

          “Listen. Get in ‘ere.”  He gestures curtly for them to join him in the elevator.  “Listen. You think some teenage girl with a homemade sign is going to change my mind?”

He makes a come on face.

He’s made his point. He can stop. But he’s on a role. He’s got one more good line in him.

          “I’m not a flip flop. You’re not wearing me out on no beach, kid.”

AUBREY CARES ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT   ,   but in that vague way she thinks most everyone probably does   —   like   ,   she’ll recycle when there’s a bin nearby   ,   and she tries to think about her carbon footprint n’ all that jazz   ,   but it doesn’t go very far beyond that.   (   duck would be appalled.   she’s pretty sure he cares about the forest more than the rest of west virginia combined.   )

point being   :   she isn’t usually the protest - y type for stuff like this?   she protests other things.   she’s protest - y in general   ,   she goes to marches and stuff   ,   but storming into a politician’s office is beyond her usual purview.   but   —   well.   the issue here isn’t really the individual trees themselves   ,   it’s what hides within that patch of the monongahela forest.   namely   ,   a certain gate to another world.   aubrey’s not too sure what’d happen to the gate if it got bulldozed   ,   since the everyday run - of - the - mill person can’t see it   ,   but she figures someone’s gotta act to get this stopped   ,   and quick.

so fast forward to now.   right now   ,   she’s in an elevator holding a sign   (   declaring a rather unoriginal SAVE THE TREES in an equally unoriginal blocky font   —   she hadn’t had much time for showmanship   ,   okay?   )   and a politician is doing a de niro impression.   she puts one hand on her hip   ,   the other trying hard not to let the sign fall   ,   sensing that that may be disastrous for proving her point.

‘   hell yeah   ,   i’m protesting you!   haven’t you ever heard of   ,   y’know   ,   saving the environment?   global warming?   please tell me you’re not one of those who doesn’t believe in global warming.   please.   ’      she thinks she probably should’ve researched his policies a little more before running in here   ,   but act now think later is kinda aubrey’s whole deal.   it hasn’t failed her so far   ,   except for the times it has.
