Not every building is as easy to climb! Festival leaned back, resting on her hands. "Yeah, there's a kind of peace up here that you can't find in absolutely silence." There were the distant noises of the settlement, but it seemed far off from up here. Mostly, she felt the wind and that was...

"I think if I were to be on a road, my bed is what I'd miss the most." Something nice and luxurious about sliding onto a comfy surface at the end of a long day. "So, I don't blame you." She brightened. "Good." But she didn't elaborate much further. There was really only one thing that could be...

She straightened up as Blue approached. "Not too long," she promised. Though, she likely would have said the same regardless. "They do like to keep people busy. I hope you were still able to get some rest?" Briefly, she wondered if Blue's work throughout the day had taken them on a tour of the...

Festival said her goodbyes and then returned the way she'd come. With a visitor willing to talk to her, watching the entry gates was slightly less attractive than normal. It didn't wholly lack in entertainment, however, and she whiled away her afternoon there, watching people come and go. The...

Camila didn't seem too worried about offering up her name, not that she was entirely aware she'd already missed that part. In the grand scheme of things, it didn't seem the top priority. "Traffic is a nightmare," she pointed out, gesturing in the direction of the News Station. "We're probably...

She wrinkled her nose at the mention of infected. Settlement life was not exactly her favorite, but she worried about what existed there. Those who could--and did--survive out in the wilderness with the infected were truly impressive in her mind. The skills necessary to survive out there were...

Festival stared at Blue wide-eyed. She knew how to help a garden grow, and how to raise some animals: surviving in a commune, she knew how to do. Surviving in the wilderness was beyond the scope of her understanding. "Lunch and dinner," she said after a beat, answering Blue's list of questions...

Festival winced a little. Blue's grip was strong, whereas Festival's shake was more perfunctory than anything--it wasn't limp nor too firm, but it was certainly quick. It was hard to say if the fast removal of her hand from Festival's was because of the hard squeeze or something else. In truth...

Festival, at least, seemed suitably impressed by Blue's work. "I live here," she answered vaguely. It wasn't her intention to be difficult, perse, but it was the easiest explanation without getting into her whole life story. "I work in the kitchens," she said, slowing as they neared their...

Claire sat in her kidnapper's emotions for a moment--she didn't need to see facial expressions to feel each emotion flicker by. The problem with being an empath is that it gets really easy to empathize with people who do bad things for understandable reasons. "I imagine my father would do...

For Claire, this morning had started like any other. Only very shortly after the normal beginning, it had taken a very strange and slightly terrifying turn. Now she was sitting on camera (and she was immensely glad that she'd been abducted on a day where her hair was washed and she'd worn a bit...

It was less surprise and more hesitance! She nodded her confirmation at the stranger's question, glancing sidelong at them at the mention of work. Now, that was interesting. She slowed to allow her companion a moment's breather while she considered the question. When at a standstill, Festival...

Having the news on in the background had become a bit of a habit for Camila since law school. The noise drowned out much of her inner thoughts, and it was important that she keep up to date with what's going on in the world. Ever since powers (abilities, mutations, whatever you want to call...

As the stranger approached, Festival took a half-step back. As much as she enjoyed watching people, interacting was always a bit of... a surprise. Growing up the way that she had, strangers had always come with a warning. She tucked a bit of her shaggy brown hair behind her ear, eyes darting to...
