❄ twelfth reminder

[ highway ; early morning ; open ]

[ As far as awakenings go, this one is definitely ranks up there for most unpleasant. If the sound of trucks rumbling by weren't enough, the dull pain from the previous day has turned intense. She's quiet, temporarily uninterested by investigation by looking for somewhere to hind, finding a little hole in some nearby rubble to crawl into. The crawling is far more literal than she would like, and when she pulls up the legs of her pants she can see quite clearly why that is.

The swelling has increased significantly, her legs looking some horrible mess of black and purple. She pokes at them, like the two dead things they are, and barely feels it. ]


Oh no...

[ streets ; evening ; closed ]

[ She's not even sure how she's made it this long, or this far. Her legs barely work, and it takes everything she has to keep moving, to get from hiding place to hiding place. She's breathing heavily, and it seems like she won't be making it to her next one. All she can do is hold her breath and hope those things don't notice her. Maybe she'll get lucky. Maybe. ]

[Nope. Sorry Jade. All eyes on you. He waits for a moment before shaking his head in annoyance.]

What are you doing?

And I'm waiting for you to get up!

[No, that isn't concern in his voice.]

What, you that modest? You need me to look away so you can stand?

Hope it's okay to hop in?

[Oh, what's this? This appears to be a distraction, running on up.]

Pokey! Pokey! Hurry up! We...

Oh! Jade!

[Wait, wait, what's going on, here?]

Are you still tired?

Re: fine by me!

[Still tired? He had told you to tell him if you needed a break earlier because of your-

Oh goddammit. Just noticing your legs now.]


Take my arm and pull yourself up, or I'm dragging you out of here.

[Which is the nicest way he can put how he wants to help you get out of here, Jade.]

Aaah! Jade!

[Picky is right up alongside her, trying to support her from the side that Pokey isn't on.]

You're not good! You're hurt! Here, here, lean on me! I'll help!
