01st Affair | Action/Voice
Waking
[Watery blue eyes peek beneath thick dark lashes as Crystal rouses within the strange pod. She isn’t familiar with hangovers however there have been rare occasions where she’s been drugged. She remembers bidding her neighbor goodnight and leaving for the evening when she unexpectedly arrived here. Her dress is untarnished. Her shoes, jewelry and shawl are the same as when she left the house. It’s odd that nothing is stolen or misplaced and that her captors have yet to introduce themselves.
She slowly rises into a sitting position, her heels dipping into the water while long slender legs stretch from their static position. She lifts her purse to her lap as well as the odd little box that is resting in the pod with her. First she opens her purse. The golden clasp clicks, echoing within the cave as she fetches a small pocket mirror. She inspects her face, her make-up untouched and her bright blond hair curled just as she remembered. There are no marks on her skin, nothing implying a force or harsh treatment.
Slipping her pocket mirror into her purse she begins to look through the peculiar chest that she found next to her. She quickly realizes that it is meant for her which isn’t a comforting thought. She decides she dislikes the provided necklace and slips it into her purse with no intention of ever wearing it. She reads through each piece of information carefully, her brow creasing as the situation grows more complicated.]
Action; Any City – Early Morning
[It’s evident that she isn’t in New York anymore and so she quickly moves passed that glaring fact and inspects the information she does know.
Crystal isn’t ready to rule out any possibilities; she wants to learn more about her new gilded prison. With the items she’s deemed important stashed in her purse she steps across the turning water and out of the bay. The hologram makes her pause, a thin eyebrow rising at its explanation before she continues onward.
A light smile plays across her lips as confidence radiates from her countenance, like a perfect mask her expression mixes both truths and lies. It won’t be hard to pin her as someone new though she isn’t acting like a gawking tourist or lost soul. When she steps it’s as if she knows exactly where she’s going. She doesn’t care about those who gawk at her height, beauty or very short dress.
She steps into a few curious shops, her gaze examining their wares even if she isn’t interested in purchasing them.]
Excuse me. [Crystal asks in a friendly tone.] Is this your establishment?
Action; Nova City – Early Evening
[After exploring each city Crystal finds that she enjoys Nova City the most. There are classier establishments, cleaner streets and while some of the futurist technology is beyond her knowledge it isn’t beyond her understanding. She can be found eyeing apartments as well as the general area with the same air of someone who moves with assurance.
She decides to look for bars or clubs that might prove to be interesting. It’s only the start of the night and she doubts that any establishment has yet to truly open. It will, however, give her an understanding of this place which is her intent as she moves through the cities.
If she catches your eye she’ll smile, her expression confident and inviting.]
Action; Everglade – Early Night
[Everglade is the last stop on her trip and she quickly finds that she doesn’t care for the mist covered city. There is nothing pertaining to the curfew in the provided information, leaving Crystal unaware as she steps into the city proper. Night is when Crystal is accustomed to working. She’s always been comfortable beneath the lingering light of the moon, even walking down desolate streets like these.
It doesn’t take her long to sense that something is wrong, the sun wanes and a gloomy atmosphere grips the town. She turns to leave however the sweet scent of lilacs drifting from her skin calls forth a hungry predator who quickly blocks her escape. Her mask remains in place, her lips positioned in a careful smile while her gaze locks onto the approaching figure. She moves briskly however the shadow is much faster than her, catching her by the wrist and throwing her against a nearby wall.
Her eyes level a glare at the stranger: his skin is a sickly pale, his eyes sunken in with black irises staring hungrily at her, his clothes hang on his bony form, tattered and torn from wear.]
That isn’t anyway to say hello.
[Crystal replies in an even voice, her wrist already working its way out of the dead mans grip.]
Voice; April 19th
[A melodious voice echoes over the network.]
It looks like I should have asked for assistance earlier, in the end I see little point of the provided information with so much lacking. [The light and silky voice sounds like it’s smiling.]
Now that I’ve learned my way around I wanted to say hello. Perhaps get to know my fellow martyrs.

Now that I’ve learned my way around I wanted to say hello. Perhaps get to know my fellow martyrs.
action; everglade
I arrived this morning. [She hadn't wanted to announce her presence to a sea of random strangers. It's one of the many reasons she stayed offline too.]
I wanted to become familiar with each city.
action; everglade
Next time, you should check into places before you wander into parts of town. You'd be dead right now.
action; everglade
She has nothing for her defense on the matter. Not being educated isn't something she uses as an excuse.]
I will next time. [She assures him in a soft voice, her usually flirty tone replaced with a more business one.]
I'm lucky you found me. [She continues, her voice back to teasing lightly.
The archway approaches quickly and it isn't long before Crystal is stepping through. She hangs back slightly, allowing Clay to lead the way from there.]
action; everglade
I'm glad it was me, too.
action; everglade
After you handsome.
[He'd have to lead the way.]
action; everglade
So, you haven't found a place to stay yet?
action; everglade
I haven't though I like Nova City so far.
[It isn't like New York but it's nice.]
action; everglade
Haven't been there yet.
action; everglade
[She smiles up at him, following to whatever destination that Clay has in mind. She has a feeling she'd follow him anywhere.]
action; everglade
Yeah? You got a place there?
action; everglade
[She replies easily. She hasn't been here long enough to find a place to live and she hadn't been worried about it.]
I'm sure I can find a place for tonight.
[Crystal steps into Clay's chosen bar and smiles. It's a nice place though it's true that it isn't the sort of place she's used too. As she walks to an empty table heads turn to watch her.]
action; everglade
Instead he meets her eyes with a smile.]
What'll you have?
action; everglade
[She smiles at him, making sure that everyone at the bar knows who she is there with.]
action; everglade
Straight?
action; everglade
[She doesn't hate surprises and Clay's shaping up to be an interesting one.]
action; everglade
He gets whiskey for himself and vodka for her and brings them back, sliding almost gracefully into the chair across from her. He moves very fluidly for a big guy.]
Cheers.
action; everglade
When he passes her the clear liquid she smiles, rising the drink at his prompt.]
Cheers.
[Shimmering blue eyes remain fixed on Clay as she brings the drink to her lips. It's basic and plan and she likes it. Her mouth tugs into a relaxed smile as she places the glass down on the table.]
Where are you from? [It's usually an easy place to start a conversation.]
action; everglade
New York. You?
action; everglade
[She smiles at him.]
Small worlds?
action; everglade
There are 6 million people in New York City. The odds aren't that against us.
action; everglade
That's true but I've always liked to consider myself lucky.
action; everglade
After tonight, I'd have to agree with you.
action; everglade
[Her smirk slowly widens into a more earnest smile. He is rather unlike most of the men she meets and she's finding that she enjoys his company. It's nice, more so considering this new place she's found herself in.]
We still have plenty to do tonight.
action; everglade
Yeah? I get the feeling you've got a few ideas what.
action; everglade
[Her smile widens as she takes a sip of her drink.]
It's no fun if it's just me.
