#whereas a jacket potato is just sort of cut open?

[cinnonym]

Regarding jacket potatoes: I think it is perhaps because they are still wearing their little jackets, or skins. As opposed to some other situations where they would be peeled. This seems like what the US calls a baked potato, except we have slightly different toppings: cheese, sour cream, chives, bacon bits. Lots of butter, of course.

Oh!! That is an excellent theory and makes total sense to me, thank you for weighing in!!

Lost in Time - ch 7

"Oh come on - you're going to eventually own more than two sets of clothing you know."

Eli had once said Gale seemed like 'an animated fellow' - if he was animated then Selene was animated to the power of ten; there were times she thought of the builder as a hyper little puppy and it wasn't a personality type she was entirely used to just yet so the woman's eagerness was a bit daunting sometimes.

"You've already spent a lot of money on me-" Eli started, only for Selene to make a hushing gesture.

"Yes, I have, and I've got gols to spare -- just to rub it in Higgin's face once I purposely made certain I stayed the number one top shop in Portia for three years in a row.  That built up quite the savings and I'm not going to be spending it on myself anytime soon.  Now come on - you need more than a bed and a tiny table. Go nuts!" the woman laughed, gesturing at the various furniture items that lined the walls of...was it Paulie?  Paulie's store. ((Continued below cut))

She'd eventually decided on staying with Selene; Happy Apartments had reminded her too much of the barracks, and she...wasn't ready to deal with that constant reminder yet.  So, the offered, spacious room at Selene's had been her choice, and Selene had awakened her bright and early to go furniture shopping.  The bed was easy: a simple wooden frame and headboard that had an ivy pattern carved into it and a basic mattress; the frame and headboard were painted a nice cream color and the ivy was a deep green.  Along with it she'd chosen a matching bedside table that had two small drawers built in, and she'd deemed that sufficient enough to start out with but Selene was...very insistent on furnishing the entire room.

There was another small table that matched the bed, and the builder woman kept "subtly" nudging her toward a bookcase with matching chair as well as a piece that was half dresser (with mirror) and half armoire; all of it was a pale wood that, while it wasn't the exact shade of cream as the headboard, was still a close enough color that it all could pass as a "matching" bedroom set.

"Even if I say no, this is going to magically turn up in my room isn't it?" she asked dryly.

Selene giggled.   "Not 'magically,' no.  If you like them, then let's get them -- Paulie'll even move them in for us."

"That's right!  Because it's the manly thing to do for such a large order," the giant man laughed.

The man was...pretty obsessed with the word "manly" but his laugh was genuine; he and Selene had that same level of friendliness going on. Hopefully that friendliness would remain after he found out who she was and where (and when) she'd come from.

Anyway...back to the matter at hand. Apparently everything in the shop was something Paulie had made himself, and she had a feeling that everything she picked up now was as high quality as it looked and would probably last her several decades so at least Selene wasn't paying a premium for furniture that would fall apart in two years.  "...fine, all right.  But just these things and that's IT, got it?"

Selene snickered then held a hand out to Paulie; as Eli watched the man took a handful of gols (why the world had gone back to physical coin-based currency was beyond her) and dropped it into her palm.

"When exactly did you two have time to make a bet on her wearing me down?"

"As you were looking at the bed frames. When the smallish builder sets her mind to something very little will stop her," Paulie said.  "And sometimes that means I lose a manly bet."

Selene pocketed the handful of coin, looking smug.  "It was a righteous cause, I promise you.  You deserve to actually have a comfortable living space."

"I'll have all this delivered by end of the afternoon," Paulie went on.  "Did you have a floor plan in mind?"

"Nah, we can move it ourselves once you get it into the house," Selene replied.  "Thank you Paulie."  She gave the large man a hug and he returned it with enough force to lift the builder from her feet then waved at them as they headed out from the shop.

Outside the wind was blowing but the sky was clear; Eli zipped her jacket back up against the chill and looked to Selene.  "Now what?"

"Well... Merlin is helping Petra check for any mention or pictures of the tool we need, so they're busy today.  I wanted to wait to see if they found anything and I also have the factory building the last pieces of the lockable elevator car at the moment so even if I had all the measurements or assurances that I could go ahead and try casting that tool we need I'd still have to wait for that to finish.  So...basically, we've got the day free aside from being home when Paulie delivers the furniture.  Want to get a late breakfast?"

Eli opened her mouth to reply when a comically large set of scissors over a storefront across the way caught her attention.  "-is that a salon?"

"Huh?  - oh, yeah.  Sanwa runs it - cuts, styles, and dyes hair.  And beards, but that doesn't apply to you," Selene answered, grinning.

With a small smile she looked away from the scissors shining in the morning sun and back to the builder.  "Don't suppose I could rely on your charity for one more thing, could I?"

-----------------------------------------------------------

The apricots Selene grew along the western fence line were juicy and tasted fantastic, and made a for a refreshing snack after an hour or so of moving furniture around.

Paulie had carried it all in and then she and Selene had pushed things into place; Selene was now off double checking on the final pieces of that locking car mechanism, and Eli was sitting on a stool in front of the fence with her back pressed to the wooden slats as she slowly munched on one of the last apricots the builder had gotten off the trees before winter had set in.

It seemed that along with new or hybrid fruits and vegetables a lot of plants she was familiar with had developed a rather long shelf-life on top of having shifted what seasons they typically grew in -- in this case, Selene's apricot trees kept producing right up to the first frost of late fall whereas the trees Eli had known in her time period had mostly stopped dropping fruit by late summer (and the apricots back then definitely hadn't lasted for a few months without showing signs of rot or withering).  There was a single apple tree in the little "grove" along the fence and from what Selene had said the apple tree at least produced on a schedule that Eli remembered.

There were neat, orderly rows of planters next to the trees and while they were empty now there were little signs attached to them to identify what had been there: chili peppers, cotton (such a small amount though...surely that wasn't useful enough to grow so little of it?), green lettuce, pumpkins, wheat (again how was it useful to grow just a few tiny planters full, versus an entire field?)

It was a small comfort to actually see proof that not everything had changed so drastically but that was about all that was immediately familiar on the property.

In the planters among the normal plants Eli recognized were more of the weird ones: bamboo papaya, cornball (this one was at least...SORT of understandable?  It seemed to be corn that just grew in an orb instead of a long cob), layered carrots (something that tasted like a carrot yet was shaped like a turnip and colored a stripey green and white that resembled neither vegetable), potato fruit (looked like an apple, tasted like a sweet potato), sisal... There were remnants of flowers that Selene had called rainbow flowers, and despite there being only withered stems and dried petals Eli could see the name was very fitting.

And over there, separate from the fruit trees, was a cluster of seven trees that were totally unrecognizable; Selene had called them nitra, zeolora, and crystella trees and Eli had never seen anything so bizarre as trees that grew...rock and crystal-looking "fruit" that hung heavy from the branches or leaked from the bark like a growth.  Whatever or however the rocks and crystals grew the builder had said that the trees weren't ready to be harvested but had promised to let her help when it was time; what had gone wrong in nature to create trees that grew rocks?

No... What had gone wrong with the world that gave chemicals and biological weapons free reign to do all THIS?

'At least some of it's familiar...' she kept thinking to herself.

And she had to keep latching on to the familiar things, but there were precious few compared to everything that had changed... Plants were different, the trees were different (even the "normal" ones growing naturally around the shop - Eli didn't recognize those species at all), languages had disappeared, technology was gone...

And then there was all the people, and all the nations, that were gone too.

A twinge hit her in the gut and she leaned her head back against the fence behind her; the change in posture let the light breeze blow right down the front of her, through the little opening between the V-shape of the zipper on her jacket and the tiny gap at her collar bone where her sweater neck drooped slightly.  The sudden stab of cold against her skin drew her attention away from the black hole of thought she was about to tumble down and she took a steadying breath.

After a few moments she did zip her jacket up to beneath her chin but she stayed leaning as she was; from the workshop and warehouse across the yard Eli could hear the noise of machines pounding and grinding away -- the locking elevator car was nearly done with only the front and back wall panels needing completion.  The lock itself was fairly clever and Selene had seemed especially proud of herself as she showed it off to her earlier; it required both a physical key and a magnet of a certain strength to turn the tumbler and lift an inner locking bar that fit into the gap the door would ordinarily slide effortlessly into, and without the magnet to lift the bar you'd have to tear the entire door apart to get that bar up and out of the way (and by that point you wouldn't even need to as the door would be less a door and more a gaping hole).  

Selene had selected a pile of magnets of various shapes and sizes but all roughly the same strength and the plan was only some of them would get a key and some would get a magnet (with a few exceptions - Gale would have both a key and magnet and so would at least one of the Civil Corps members). It essentially meant that it would take two people to get the car unlocked, which Eli considered a little overkill but was willing to let the mayor have the final call.

It did make her wonder what kind of war had just passed between the Alliance and this Duvos...Gale was dead set on absolutely nothing in those ruins falling into Duvos hands even though Eli knew there wasn't a chance in hell that anyone on the planet could replicate anything that could be found down there.

The thrumming and clanking of the workshop factory rather nicely covered up the sound of approaching hoofbeats coming from the direction of the city gates; Eli wasn't even aware Arlo had gotten that close until he'd said hello, and then she felt like an idiot at how she'd jumped out of her skin at the sudden greeting.

---------------------------------------------------

"Didn't mean to startle you, sorry."

Spacer nickered quietly - almost like the horse was also apologizing on his behalf.

Eli sat up from where she'd been leaning against the fence.  "Not your fault, was just...thinking, I guess.  I need to get back into the habit of listening for every little noise."

With a nod Arlo quietly gave her a once over; she was looking stronger every day, and now that she was out here with Selene she'd be right next to the Civil Corps usual jogging path.  "-you're looking well.  Does Dr. Xu have you exercising to build your muscles back up?"

"Not yet, but getting out to the facility and working inside it is doing a pretty good job of getting me back to what would be normal for anyone else.  It's going to take a lot of work and protein to get back to what's 'normal' for me."

"When the Civil Corps does training exercises we usually start out with a run that begins at the gates and goes right by here - maybe you can start joining us, when we get back to it."

Eli smiled at him.  "I'd like that.  It'd be a good way to get the lay of the land too."  She jerked a thumb over toward Selene's factory.  "She's almost got the locking car done so whatever schedule you had before you ought to be getting back to soon."

Arlo gently nudged Spacer a little bit closer so he didn't feel like he was just a few levels shy of shouting at her to be heard over the noise of the factory going at full steam.  "I'll be helping to haul it out and install it - how big is it?"

"Big enough to properly fit into the shaft, and with thick walls and door.  The lock's actually pretty clever too."

"Good.  We need clever to keep people out of there.  Has Gale talked to you yet?"

He noted that she paused (it was barely perceptible - could've been mistaken for a flinch) before offering him another smile.

"Yeah, he has.  This coming sunday the cat's out of the bag."

"I don't expect any trouble but Remington and I will be there regardless."

Eli nodded and an awkward silence fell; she took a halfhearted bite out of the mostly finished apricot in her hand but was chewing it slowly, like she didn't want to swallow it.

Sensing a change of subject was probably needed Arlo cleared his throat. "-your haircut is nice.  Suits you."

"Thanks," came Eli's quick answer - the relief in her tone was palpable.  She ran a hand through her hair; it was shaved almost to her skull on the sides and in the back, but the top had been left long enough to comb to the left.  "It's how I wore it before.  Fits better under helmets and there's less there for someone to grab a handful of if they manage to get close and I don't have said helmet on."

Ha...a haircut doubling as part of personal defense.  That was something he hadn't given thought to before.  "So you've met Sanwa then.  What'd you think of him?"

"Chatty fellow.  Selene mentioned I was new to the area and he started waxing poetic about Portia and how peaceful it is out here.  I guess that's why you only need three Civil Corps members, eh?" she asked, chuckling quietly.

Arlo smiled faintly, shaking his head.  "He does have a point.  There's not a lot of interest in joining the Civil Corps because not a lot of people think we need a large group of us because Portia is so peaceful.  Gale does have the budget set aside to hire on more people as needed or required, and Paulie helps out as he's able -- we did have a recent incident with a rogue knight that had people clamoring for more town security but that sentiment only lasted a couple of weeks."

"...a...rogue knight?" Eli repeated, raising an eyebrow.  "Like, metal armor, sword, chivalry knight?"

"Sort of.  He had some armor on and a sword but he was commanding an All Source AI and other AIs to attack Portia.  We sustained some heavy damage but were able to fend him off with help from Django."

Eli let out a barked "ha!" before spinning on her stool to rest her arms on the fence and her chin on her arms.  "I knew it.  That man carries himself too confidently to just be a chef."

"He...what?"

"Django.  I met him earlier when Selene and I got brunch.   He walks and carries himself with a certain confidence and balance that I'd expect out of someone who's been trained in combat.  Is the knight-theme of his diner just for show, or is he some sort of knight too?"

"He's retired.  You could tell all that from watching how someone walks?"

Eli nodded.  "You can.  Might take a bit to notice with some more than others but with him it's a dead giveaway.  If you ever want to learn what to look for I can teach you, no problem."

"I'll keep that in mind.  Could be useful."  Arlo glanced toward the door of the factory; he was tempted to get down and go check on progress but if Eli said Selene almost had it done he was willing to take her word for it.  "I need to go on patrol.  Would you like to ride along? Get the lay of the land, like you said earlier, and maybe we'll find somewhere you recognize."

Eli seemed to consider that a moment, then nodded; as she stood she whipped her arm and sent what was left of the apricot in hand whizzing toward the compost heap across the yard.  Arlo tracked its arc and nodded approvingly as it landed on top and sent a small clump of rotting leaves and cornball husks sliding down the side of the heap.

"Nice throw."

"Thanks.  I'll let Selene know where I'm headed and then we can head out."

She headed into the workshop and was back a few moments later; Arlo held a hand out and helped her mount up behind him before nudging Spacer into a trot.  

Across from Selene's shop was Sophie's ranch; as they drew away from the workshop the hissing and pounding noises faded and the soft sounds of cattle and horses started to become apparent.  The wheat fields had long since been harvested and as they ambled along Arlo could pick out tracks across the field were someone had been walking and another longer stretch that looked like someone had been sledding there.  These spots and of course the areas where the cows and horses wandered had thawed out down to the ground underneath and stood out as dark, muddy spots against the remaining slushy snow that still clung to the ground (and was also a reminder of the mud they had to wade through daily to get to and from the facility as well).

"Were there any farms nears Dubei?"

"On the very outskirts, and also hundreds of community plots on the rooftops."

Arlo blinked.  "On the rooftops?  How?"

He heard a soft chuckle behind him.  "Just a reinforced area able to handle extra weight of soil and water, good drainage, that sort of thing.  Almost every roof had some sort of food garden or ornamental one - Dubei loved their greenery.  Planters and trees on every street and corner, shelves to let vines come down the sides of buildings.  Lots of potted plants inside buildings too.  From far off it'd be easy to miss among all the lights, signs, and the glass reflecting everything but down in close, on the streets and in the buildings themselves, you'd see green everywhere."

"Sounds like a lot of work."

He felt movement against his back as she shifted, then "-not when you have AIs specifically handling the work."

"An AI for every task, sounds like."

From the corner of an eye he saw Eli nod.  "They did the bulk of menial and hard labor, and of course were invaluable assistants in day to day goings on.  Lots of data storage, for one."

"The historical records seemed to suggest AIs did everything for humans."

"NOT everything," Eli corrected, tone firm. "They couldn't do everything.  And we couldn't trust them with everything anyway."

"Couldn't trust an AI?  But I at least thought they were everywhere."

"They were.  But would YOU want to trust every aspect of life to something that was one damaged power supply or corrupted file away from shutting down at the worst possible time?"

"I guess not."

They rode on in silence for a bit; the farm passed by and they were approaching the fields beyond Sophie's fences. He turned Spacer to the right and began to follow the fence line up toward where the air balloon platform was.  In full view from here was the water wheel that fed an irrigation system for the tree farm, as well as two towering ruins that were little more than metal husks -- they hadn't held much of importance when they'd first officially been delved into about twenty five years ago and since then they'd been stripped of as much useful scrap as they could without causing them to collapse.

Very carefully he turned his head to catch a view of Eli behind him; she was studying the shape of the ruins in the distance and seemed to be comparing them to the water wheel.  He stopped Spacer at the DeeDee stop and shifted to look back at her.  "Anything seem familiar yet?"

"I'm...PRETTY sure that rounded building there was a planetarium -- a, uh, a place where you could learn about space and the solar system.  That rounded top was usually a theater where you could sit and watch a presentation projected onto the ceiling that, because it was rounded and also huge, seemed to drop you right in the middle of the movie.  It's easy to trick the brain into thinking you're moving if you're surrounded with the right sensory information so the whole point of the presentation was to make you feel like you were literally flying through space examining planets."

"Sounds like fun."

Eli laughed quietly behind him.  "It was.  And it's something I'm sure even your level of technology could replicate."

Arlo smiled a bit at that and guided Spacer off to the left, diverting toward the elevator that led up to the hot springs.  As he scanned the area and the bluffs ahead he wasn't seeing anything out of the ordinary - there weren't even any footprints up this way.  He checked that the elevator was still working as it should and then turned Spacer down the path back toward the road that would lead to the harbor.

Technically he was going well out of the way of his usual patrol route but with Eli with him he wanted to give her the best chance possible to recognize anything in the immediate area; that she'd sort of recognized a planetarium was, he assumed, a good thing, and maybe with a few more landmarks she'd be able to piece together a map of Dubei and know approximately where she was now, 300 years later.

The lighthouse was always in view from almost anywhere you cared to stand once you were south of Sophie's, along with the top of the cargo crane.  There was a rumble in the distance suggesting the bus that wheeled around Portia was just past the trees up ahead (that was where the bus stop was, after all) and aside from the soft lapping of waves against the shore there wasn't much else going on out here.  He could do a quick loop then circle back north toward Amber Island's bridge, then keep going...

"Was Dubei close to the shoreline?"

"It was built out over the shoreline," came Eli's answer.  "Big pylons, gigantic harbor.  Docks and walkways.  I'm not sure where we are on Dubei's shoreline just yet though."

Arlo nodded and kept Spacer moving at a leisurely trot.  Eli seemed a little interested in seeing the "haunted" cave on Amber Island so he made a mental note to make sure she got a chance (knowing Selene if she caught wind of it she'd drag the woman out there herself) and then kept northeast toward Bassanio Falls.

"Is that...desert, over the river?"

Arlo nodded.  "It is.  Eufala Desert.  There's some ruins out that way and Dana's mining operation in Ingall's Mine.  If we'd gone across that second bridge we just passed on the right we would've arrived in South Block - it's a tiny outpost right at the edge of the desert."  As he glanced back to her he saw her frown, then shake her head.  "I'm guessing there wasn't any desert near Dubei in your time."

"No, there wasn't."

She didn't elaborate further; the lift to the top of the falls was where, lately, Arlo had been stopping his patrol route -- now that they were having to keep an eye on the facility in the marsh whoever got the afternoon shift was usually the one who skirted the edge of the marsh and then circled around and down from WOW Industries...

But, the very top of the falls was fairly high up and you could see for miles around up there so that would be the optimal place to have a look from. When they were within walking distance of the lift he got down from Spacer's back and walked the horse the rest of the way; the DeeDee stop would double nicely as a hitching post and there he left Spacer tethered before offering Eli a hand down.

"Let's head up - you might spot something you know."

As soon as they were at the top of the lift Eli immediately spotted the towering ruins of WOW Industries.  "Did you people give names to any of these ruins?"

"Not really.  But the ones we were able to find mention of, or ones with surviving signs, we just call them by their names.  That's WOW Industries."

Eli's eyes lit up.  "THAT'S WOW?  Well, that's half of WOW. All right...all right, so then..."

She jogged up the path ahead of him and he sped up to keep pace, and then almost collided with her when she abruptly stopped.

"What the heck are THOSE?" she asked then, pointing off to their left where there was a flurry of movement near the tops of the trees.

Arlo squinted off toward where she was pointing and caught the barest glimpse of fluttering wings.  "Panbats."

"Pan...bats?" she repeated slowly, turning to look at him in confusion.

"Panbats.  They're pests that feed on trees - we had an infestation of them at the tree farm a few years ago.  Usually they're pretty harmless but if they're hungry or you scare one they might attack."

Eli continued to stare at him for a few breaths more, then turned on her heel to head up the path further before turning to the left to creep up to the base of a tree; at the base she knelt down, putting the tree partially between herself and the panbats that were flapping around.  Arlo came up behind her, counting seven of the beasts; he was more interested in watching how Eli watched them -- he wouldn't say she was sizing them up but she was eying them with far more than a passing curiosity.  As they hunched there, observing, Arlo could see one large panbat alight on a bough and pull a shriveled apple free from a dry branch before beginning to suck at it.

"...do you have pandas, and bats, in this world?" Eli asked quietly.

"Bats, yes.  Not sure what a panda is."

"Pandas - panda bears.  Think...THESE things, but no wings, and about half the size of your horse."

Arlo shook his head. "We don't have those around here, at least.  Couldn't say for the rest of the world though."

Eli let out a sigh that trailed off into a faint raspberry noise before she stood and turned back to the WOW Industries building.  "Well... The good news is I know WOW Industries, and I know where it was.  We're in the southeastern corner of Dubei and now I can also confirm that the shoreline is NOT where it should be, and that none of these bluffs or waterfalls here are where they're supposed to be.  It's like...it's like parts of the land got shifted, or sheared off."

He didn't know what to say to that and instead followed silently as she walked up to the building.  She stared up at the building and at the door, then circled around the ruin's foundation to the left; there was a flat metal platform here they'd assumed was some kind of loading dock that served double duty as a canopy that covered three enormous pipes coming out of the building.  Not far from the edge of the platform was an enormous, wide stone retaining wall that overlooked the eastern border of the Collapsed Wasteland.  There was another wall and a line of trees that blocked the majority of the view of the Wasteland from the top of this particular wall - it was hardly more than a crater with a few intact buildings clinging to the land so there wasn't much to see regardless.

Despite the obstructed view Eli was still standing atop the wall and, while he couldn't be sure, it sort of looked like she was measuring distances with her hands - using her fingertips lined up with the landscape and tops of the ruins.

He was content to wait and let her do whatever she needed; down below them he could just make out slurpees wandering about -- he wondered what she'd think of THOSE.

"Oh Fate...why is THIS the way the story goes..."

He just barely heard her speak.  "-huh?"

"Nothing.  Just having a crisis of faith.  Or, in my case, a crisis of Fate."

"Ah."

She ran her hand through her hair again, and paced back and forth a few steps in each direction.  "--what religions even exist now?"

"We have the Church of the Light.  There might be others but I'm not sure - I've never been very far from Portia."  He waited a moment, watching her pace.  "What religions existed back then?"

"Hundreds of thousands.  Mine specifically was the Foundational Three."

Arlo shook his head.  "I've never heard of that one.  The Research Center might have, but not me."

"Great..." she sighed.  "Well.  The Foundational Three are..."  She paused, kicking away snow and ice from the stone under her before dropping down to sit.  "Fate.  Balance.  And Judgement. Fate is the Great Curator, and ensures that every soul born into the world has a story to tell and, when those lives are over, makes sure their stories are made a part of the cosmos.  Balance is the Silent Observer - Balance makes sure your life isn't too hard or too easy because too hard means you give up and too easy means you don't grow.  And Judgement is the Arbiter, the one who carries out decisions made by Balance.  Judgement will remove or place obstacles as needed, and punish or reward those as needed -- those who make it their purpose to make other lives miserable will find themselves on the receiving end of Judgement's wrath, and that's not somewhere you want to be.  And on the other end of the spectrum are those who are given a helping hand to overcome their troubles if it proves to be more than they can bear."

She trailed off, staring out at the treetops below them.  Arlo likewise cleared off a spot to sit and dropped down next to her.  "It sounds like a nice religion."

Eli nodded.  "Compared to most I'd say it definitely is.  Certainly more kind than a lot I'd heard of back then.  A lot of religions threatened doom and hellfire and damnation, or the destruction of the soul, or losing the ability to be reborn into another life - always more threats of the bad things versus promises of the good things.  The Foundational Three always made the most sense to me though."

"Why's that?"  He asked almost without thinking, then quickly added "you don't need to answer that if it's too personal."

She waved a hand dismissively.  "Nah, it's fine.  In fact, the Three actually encourage you to share information and stories.  That's part of why it made sense to me...there's things that should be shared, and remembered.  And there's proof all around you that the stories told keep echoing - there's a reason people believe in ghosts.  Those are just stories that weren't ready to end."

"I'm not sure I follow."

At that Eli laughed quietly, pulling up a knee to rest her chin on it as she wrapped her hands around her leg.  "So, you have ghost stories here, right?  I'd assume so being as you have a 'haunted' cave attraction."   When he nodded she continued.  "A ghost is a soul.  A story.  And sometimes, when someone dies, instead of their story joining the infinite collection the story itself hangs around.  Sometimes it's there because the soul feels their story was cut short and they're upset.   Sometimes it remains because the soul feels too strong of a connection to someone else's story, and they can't leave yet because their story is still being written, just on someone else's pages.  That's how you end up with guardian spirits or the angry, hateful ghosts that appear in scary stories -- it's just someone's life, someone's story, that wasn't ready to close the cover yet.  Eventually though the cover closes, the story returns to the shelves, and the details of that story are written in the fabric of existence where anyone, at any time, may catch a whisper of it even if they never knew that person."

She went quiet after that and Arlo mulled over everything she'd just said; it was a neat and tidy way to think of the universe, for sure.  There was even a small bit of comfort in it, thinking that both people he knew and also those he'd never known or would ever know would somehow know about him when he was gone...granted, that thought was terrifying too - a bunch of strangers hearing only bits and pieces of things he'd done or the type of person he'd been.  Anyone could make any sort of story out of scraps and believe themselves right.

"What happens when you accomplish whatever Fate said your story was supposed to be about?" he asked into the silence.

Eli shrugged.  "How would you know you'd done that?"

"...no idea."

"And no one else would know either.  Only Fate would.  And even stories that seem complete can keep going.  The only thing you can know for sure is you have a starting point in your story, and somewhere there's an ending point, but there's an infinite number of ways to get there."  She trailed off again, then inhaled deeply and looked over to him.  "Though I definitely understand the NEED to know why your story is going where its going.  What am I supposed to accomplish?"  With a flick of her fingers she gestured to the Wasteland ahead of them.  "How in the world does THIS fit into any reasonable story Fate would want to tell?"

He didn't have an answer for that so he just stayed quiet; the sun was setting and the breeze was getting a bit more chilly and out of habit he rubbed his hands together.  

The movement attracted her attention. "We can head back.  I've seen enough to have at least some idea of where I am.  It's just...staggering that there's so little left."

He nodded and stood, and offered her a hand up; they walked back to Spacer in silence and began to make their way back to Portia.

About halfway there he heard her sigh again - it was more of a groan though.  "What's wrong?"

"I just realized something.  Something that I was doing."

"What's that?"

"I want to know what happened here, and what that facility actually is and why I was down inside it.  And I keep catching myself thinking of those three things - what happened, what it is, why I was there - as all separate pieces of the puzzle, when I SHOULD be thinking of it as one big knot to unravel.  Seeing WOW, and spotting the sewer network got me to thinking about what's gone, what should be where, and how the landscape changed and for a moment it was like THAT was the only problem.  And I know I'm doing it because, to be blunt, I'm terrified to actually get the answer..."

"I'm sorry," was all he could think to say.

The ride back to Portia was quiet after that.

C H A P T E R  T W O

I'm not a massive fan or a fan at all of running or sports. I could do them like anyone else but I'd have to be blackmailed and forced. I just didn't find them in anyway exciting. I was a couch potato of the best kind and very proud at that. But when I saw her, everything in me just woke up. Like my body went on survival mode and my mind alert. It was an adrenaline rush that overtook everything.

I ran, I didn't care about the book I was holding. I drop it without a thought. I could get it another day. I run away before the person could look up, run to my apartment block, run up the stairs and don't stop until I had reached my apartment. I slam the door behind me and lean on it, back to the door - slapping a hand to my face. My heart was beating rapidly and my throat was constricting any breathing as I wheeze. I inhale, long and sharp painful breaths. Slowly but surely, I seem to somehow find normal rhythm again.

I start walking to the kitchen, my legs felt like jelly and my body was shaking like a leaf amidst the strong force of wind. I place a palm to my forehead - ice cold. I shuffle to the hallway and crank up the heat dial - 10, 20, 30, 35 degrees. I make my way back as I rub my arms rapidly. My hands open the trusty glass cupboard and I bring the glass out placing it on the counter. I open the fridge - taking the Jack Daniel's out and opening the lid. Just a little tilt and the liquid pours' out into the glass and I sigh setting the bottle down. I clutch the counter edge tightly my knuckles turning paper sheet white. How can one person cause me to react so badly? I gulp the drink down, the liquid although burning my throat -offered ease.

I sit down on the floor, kicking my shoes off and shrugging my jacket off, leaning back. My body is sprawled out on the floor as if I were making a snow angel and my eyes close.

How was she here? Why? When?

I left her. I left them. I left it. I left it all but she was here. She looked different almost unrecognizable but I knew it was her. She had changed, her once long brown hair, boy short and crimson red. Her innocent look and style was replaced by tattoos, piercings and rock clothing. I knew it was her, only she would carry that many books at once and expect the world to stay out of her way. She said it was "common sense." We told her time and time again that if she continued she was going to run into someone that didn't see it as common sense. We told her. Trust it to be me to run into her.

I get up, dusting myself off then walking to the bathroom. I run the tap at the sink, the water gushes down and I look in the mirror. I look like shit to say the least. I yank the hairband that held my hair together off and wince at the stinging sensation. Placing the hairband that was twined with stray hairs down, I open the cabinet and grasp the tubular orange bottle that rattled when I shook it. I take two pills and pop them in my mouth swallowing it raw. I exhale and shook my head vigorously to somehow 'clear my mind' before cupping my hands to fill them with water; splashing it on my face multiple times.

She's here Aria.

What are you going to do Aria?

I could hide. Run away again.

You can't run away again Aria. Where are you going to go?

I don't know.

I don't know.

She's here.

I turn the tap off and shake my head again. I dry my face with the towel and look back in the mirror. I try to pinch my cheeks, pull at them, slap them but none of these bring colour to them and I stop as I hear the familiar ringtone of my phone. It was one of the nostalgic old ones that they used to have - back in the days, something about it made me feel at comfort. It was weird but true.

I frown and pluck my phone out of my back pocket. It was an unknown number, I never get unknown numbers so I let it ring and ring and ring until it stops. Seconds' after the ringing starts again and I let it ring until it stops again. But the ringing starts up again and I'm curious. I pick it up bringing the phone to my ear.

At first the line is silent and I would have thought there was no one there if it wasn't for the slight breathing I could hear. It felt like years before the person speaks.

"Hello?" The person says and my breath hitches. I never understood phrases like curiosity killed the cat but as I stood here breathing heavily with my heart stuck in my throat, I couldn't help but relate.

"Hello." She tries again and I blink excessively.

"Hello." I say, my voice coming out low and husky and I clear my throat.

"Meet me at the coffee shop on East Shore Corner in 30 minutes." She states quickly and all I heard after was silence- except my heavy breathing. She had cut it off. I widen my eyes, she knew I was here. She had my number - How? I had changed every source of contact. I don't dwell on it too much knowing I would get the answers in 30 minutes. But why would she want to see me after I left her - them all those years ago.

It's like a force pulling me to where she was. I start walking almost robotically, my legs moving one at a time. Soon enough I'm outside walking to the coffee shop not before bumping into the infamous devil. I wasn't in the mood for him- I never was. But now, now was definitely the wrong time.

"Angel you look like you've seen a ghost." He says walking next to me. Normally I would have a sarcastic, witty remark but I just shot him a look and he chuckles. "Time of the month, eh?"

I grit my teeth but continue walking - stomping my feet, him staying beside me.

I hated being nervous. It felt weird and awkward. Heart beating loud and fast. Mouth dry. Palms sweaty. Mind unfocused. It turned me into more of a mess than I already was.Time seems to go and the street seems to end as I position myself in front of the coffee shop. Everything is muffled - all I can hear is my heartbeat. I stare at the door for some time completely letting the fact that Greyson was right next to me slip.

"Are you gonna go in or just fucking stare at the place forever?"

I turn sharply and send him a heated glare.

"Go away Greyson." I push the door open forcefully, hearing the bells at the top of the door jingle and suddenly I feel small. I feel like taking my parting words back, turning around and being in the company of an enemy rather than facing her. I turn to check if he was still there, but he wasn't - he was gone. I'm by myself. I have to do it. I have to. I have to. I walk in slowly scanning the place. If it was her and I knew it was she would be already here. Even though it was 5 minutes before the set time she would be here. That's what always happened she was the early one and I was the late one. I was right. I recognise her red hair sitting at the booth in the corner and I reluctantly walk over, every step heavier than the last; halting when I was directly in front of it. Her head raises up, her eyes widen and she gulps. I could tell as much as she put on a confident front she was scared and so was I. I had seen her, heard her but I don't think I fully accepted that she was here until now.

"Sit down- I- I just- I just want to talk."

I nod and slide into the booth sitting opposite her. She smiles politely and I just stare back blankly not knowing exactly what to do. She's stirring her cup of coffee, what was it with people and their need for coffee. She looks up, stopping her motion. We're both just staring at each other not sure of what to say. I start to pick at my lips as I wait. She frowns almost simultaneously.

"You still do that." She says and I stop picking at my lips resorting to biting them.

"Li-"

I cut her off before she begins, "When did you get here?"

She frowns and looks down stirring absentmindedly, "How are you?"

I look out the window to my right, what was I supposed to say to that. The girl in front of me petrified me to no end, not because of anything she can or did do to me. But because she was a part of me I had left behind and regretted it everyday. Seeing her now caused all sorts of emotions I hadn't felt in a long time to arise. Why had I even come? It was a horrible idea.

I look back at her and bite my lip tightly, studying her features. Be brave Aria.

"Good, you?"

She grinds her teeth, "Just dandy."

I wince at her tone and return to looking outside. I don't say anything for a while and she doesn't either. We're both treading on thin ice, taking little baby steps both scared to break the ice.

I clear my throat and shift in my seat, "When did you get here?"

She stops stirring her coffee, that I was sure lacked warmth and I watch as she taps the spoon on the edge of the mug then places it on the small plate that held the mug.

She gave me a tight lipped smile, one of those smiles as if she couldn't believe how ignorant I was behaving. I knew I was being ignorant but this was a conversation that I never wanted to be having.

"Yesterday." She says. "I've been looking for you for some time and a friend tipped me on your location. So I came first thing, said you were going by the name of Aria now."

I nod and shrug, "That is my name isn't it."

"Yes but -"

"Why are you looking for me?"

"Why the hell do you think?" She remarks, her voice louder and her fist shaking on the table causing it to rattle.

"Well you need to stop." I state.

She slams her fist on the table and I clench my jaw at the attention we were receiving.

"You need to come back Aria. I'm losing my fucking mind."

"Be quiet." I snap, glaring at her and she sinks back in her seat. I had always been the violent one in our group - whereas she was the peacemaker. It was almost like good cop, bad cop. I was always causing trouble, not caring about the consequences. I learnt my lesson.

I let out a breath and rub my temple with my fingers. "Is everyone else good?"

"No. But that should be expected - right?" And there it was, the sudden change in her tone that I anticipated. I knew she wasn't here to just ask me to come back. She wanted to blame it on me. That's what she was good at, blaming other people but herself.

"Are you here to blame me for that? Is that really why your here?" I ask and she narrows her eyes.

"Aria." She starts with a breath. "You left us. No word. No notice. You just left. I had no idea what to do." She expresses.

I inhale deeply with my eyes closed. I let my eyes stay level with hers.

"Mackenna, I had my reasons. I couldn't do it anymore. I couldn't."

"-and I could?" She hisses, then leans back as if she was trying to calm herself down before leaning forward again. "You always were so fucking selfish."

I clear my throat at her accusation but don't pay much attention to it.

"Last I heard your the older one - older ones are the leaders right."

"Last I heard you don't turn your back on family." She bites back.

I reply quickly. Too quickly. I do it without thinking. Without processing the words. 5 words, that I instantly regret.

"What - your my sister now."

She sucks in a breath and I pause. Shouldn't have said that. I didn't mean it. Shit. Fuck. Her eyes start to water but she blinks it away quickly but I notice it.

"I'm sorry." I whisper. I'm not sure if she heard me but I couldn't repeat it. She nods and I sigh.

"Look Mackenna. I'm sorry but I - I can't -"

"Can't or won't." She cuts in but I don't let it deter me. I need to get over it.

"I can't come back. I am not coming back. I have a life here. I- I enjoy my life here." I stand up and look away from her, patting myself down trying to find what I needed.

She sits up. "Aria, are you even listening to yourself?"

I find my wallet and fish out two £50 notes place on the table for her to take. "So I'm sorry this is a wasted journey but erm - there you go and please go home."

I start to walk away, my steps feeling heavy.

"I'm not taking it." She calls out. I turn around and look her dead in the eye. I didn't have to speak. It was a silent plea.

I walk away not wanting to spend any more with her, or I was sure my resolve would weaken. I couldn't go back there. I couldn't. I had already promised myself I wouldn't. I shouldn't have even came out.  What was I thinking?

The walk back home felt quicker than it was when I was going there. The way I had felt when going there made the walk seem long and strenuous, as if I were walking to my death. I thought talking to her would make me feel better but it didn't. I felt even worse. I couldn't wait to get home. To comfort. My mind was buzzing as I walk up the stairs, push my key into the lock and twist it; swinging the door open. I walk in calmly closing the door behind me, taking my shoes off and my jacket. I was doing all actions with a calmness that shook me. I was acting as if I was at ease. I place my keys into the key holder and I exhale closing my eyes with my hands scrunched up in fists by my side. I open my eyes and I don't know what comes over me.

They say anger is like a red blazing fire - unpredictable. They say it starts with a little flicker - a small stimulus. Then slowly it increases before its roaring and spitting. Destroying anything in its path. All rational thought leaves the body and pure anger replaces it.

Suddenly I find myself running around, dragging things, kicking things, throwing things - causing disrupt. Clothes are on the floor, cabinets are open, everywhere a mess and my apartment is almost indistinguishable against the wreckage I had made. I groan as I clutch my head, I had gained an excruciating headache and I couldn't think as the elephants paraded proudly. I scream loud, the noise echoing around the apartment. I'm sure everyone in this block could hear my screams but I couldn't care less. I scream until I can't scream. Until my throat is dry, my ears are ringing and my body feels slack.

I collapse on the floor, sprawled out like a rag doll. My once heavy head feels light and my eyes can't focus on anything. It's like the room is constantly spinning. It reminded me of a rollercoaster, the kind that even though you claimed you weren't scared. You were secretly shitting your pants. The apartment felt like a dodgy sauna and I was burning up. The small beads of perspiration were making their way one by one from my forehead to the wooden floor.

I exhale trying to level my uneven breathing. I haul myself off the ground and hold onto the wall for stability. I felt nauseous. I scramble to pull my jacket on and slip my shoes on. I need air - now. I grasp my key and shove it in my pocket forcefully. I didn't think twice about the mess I was leaving behind when I walk out and close the door.

As soon as I get out the wind stings my skin and I draw my jacket closer to somehow bring some warmth. I bite my lip. Everything looked hazy, I couldn't see properly. I look around and swallow.

What are you doing Aria?

My left shoulder moves back forcefully and I realise I had bumped into someone. I can't see them properly but I can make out their facial expression. They look stand-offish and it makes me feel jittery. They place their hand on my shoulder and my eyes immediately zero in on it, pale hands with a scar running down the index finger. I look back up. I can't hear what their saying but I can sort off follow his lips. 'Are you okay?' he says. I nod my head quickly wanting to be as far as this person, they made me feel uneasy. I walk away speedily. I peer back, once, twice, thrice they were still looking at me. I run to an alleyway and lean on the brick wall. There was no one around. I sit with my head in my hands gripping and tugging at my hair.

Aria.

Liv.

Ariake.

Livvy.

Stop Aria.

Breath Aria.

My eyelids feel heavy and I force them to stay awake. I wasn't tired. I wasn't. I'm not. I am.

I am tired.
