April 8th - How many hallways ARE there in this place?

by **Sara Stanton** » Mon Oct 04, 2010 2:43 am

Somehow Sara had already managed to take a wrong turn somewhere and end up in an unpopulated area of the complex. Standing at an intersection she stops, pondering if she should try to find her way back or take a look around the deserted area while she's there.

A familiar figure rises out of her shadow.

"Hello, Mistress," Onyx says coldly, a note of anger in her voice.

by **Sara Stanton** » Mon Oct 04, 2010 2:50 am

"Onyx!" she lets out in a startled gasp.

by **Onyx** » Mon Oct 04, 2010 2:52 am

"Yes, ma'am," Onyx says, her voice filled with quiet anger, "Onyx. Your pretty little pet Onyx."

by **Sara Stanton** » Mon Oct 04, 2010 2:54 am

"Wh-what? I never thought you that way and you know it..."

by **Onyx** » Mon Oct 04, 2010 3:16 am

"Don't you fucking lie to me," Onyx snaps, "All the pain and humiliations you heaped on me? Did you think it was funny? Did you enjoy it?"

by **Sara Stanton** » Mon Oct 04, 2010 3:59 am

"I n-never... what? I..." she babbles, aside from being caught by surprise by Onyx beinghere her accusations do the rest to utterly confuse her.

by **Onyx** » Mon Oct 04, 2010 4:02 am

"You think I enjoyed you using me as your husband's little toy?" Onyx hisses, her hands slowly melting into long claws, "You think I enjoy you forcing me and Alyson apart?"

"You ruined my life. And now I'm going to ruin yours."

by **Sara Stanton** » Mon Oct 04, 2010 4:06 am

"I'd never do something like that! I had a hard time making you do my laundry for crying out loud!" she shouts and staggers backwards while her body turns to stone.

by **Onyx** » Mon Oct 04, 2010 4:07 am

Onyx tries to keep a straight face, but falters, breaking into a fit of giggling as her body forms back to normal.

"You are so easy!" Onyx says with a laugh.

by **Sara Stanton** » Mon Oct 04, 2010 4:13 am

"I... wha?" she stares at Onyx, her stoney defense slowly dropping. "That's not funny, Onyx!" she complains, although it's more born out of realizing her own gullibility than actually being all that angry.

by **Onyx** » Mon Oct 04, 2010 4:15 am

"It definitely is," Onyx says, hugging Sara, "How are you?"

by **Sara Stanton** » Mon Oct 04, 2010 4:19 am

"Okay maybe a little..." she admits, hugging Onyx back. "And I'm as good as you can expect when you fall through time into a dystopian future, I guess." she adds with a faint smile.

by **Onyx** » Mon Oct 04, 2010 4:27 am

"I'm sure you'll get home soon," Onyx says, "And all of this will be a distant memory."

by **Sara Stanton** » Mon Oct 04, 2010 4:30 am

"It's good to see you're doing okay though."

"And not with Ice-Queen Vickie..."

"How did things go for you? I mean, after I died did you... you know..."

by **Onyx** » Mon Oct 04, 2010 4:33 am

Onyx cocks her head, looking confused.

"Did I learn to play the cello? Fight the Mole Men? Fly a space shuttle?"

by **Sara Stanton** » Mon Oct 04, 2010 4:42 am

"Well you're obviously not with Victoria anymore so you didn't just go to her. I'm just wondering what happened."

by **Onyx** » Mon Oct 04, 2010 1:49 pm

"Victoria has other concerns," Onyx says, "Is Will with you?"

by **Sara Stanton** » Mon Oct 04, 2010 1:57 pm

"Yeah. He's having a bit of trouble after Nina got to him, but he's getting better. I hope."

by **Onyx** » Mon Oct 04, 2010 2:00 pm

"What happened?"

by **Sara Stanton** » Mon Oct 04, 2010 2:18 pm

"Wish I knew. It looks like she broke him down into molecules or even further, but he's at least walking and talking again."

by **Onyx** » Mon Oct 04, 2010 2:27 pm

"He will probably be fine," Onyx says.

by **Sara Stanton** » Mon Oct 04, 2010 2:42 pm

"It's looking like it." she nods, blinking after pulling out of the hug.

"Waaait a second. When did that happen?" she asks, looking at Onyx' hand.

by **Onyx** » Mon Oct 04, 2010 2:43 pm

"I'm guessing some time between the time you left and now," Onyx says, smiling a bit.

by **Sara Stanton** » Mon Oct 04, 2010 3:03 pm

"Very funny, missy." she laughs.

"So are you going to tell me about it or does that fall under spoilers?"

by **Onyx** » Mon Oct 04, 2010 3:05 pm

"I wouldn't want to ruin the surprise," Onyx says, "It won't be any fun if you aren't a little shocked when it's announced."

by **Sara Stanton** » Mon Oct 04, 2010 3:16 pm

"Oh alright. So I should return that favour and not tell you about it if I make it back?" she chuckles.

by **Onyx** » Mon Oct 04, 2010 3:18 pm

"I'd prefer if you didn't," Onyx says, "There would be...complications."

by **Sara Stanton** » Mon Oct 04, 2010 3:28 pm

"I was joking. Besides, I don't think the you from my time would believe it."

by **Onyx** » Mon Oct 04, 2010 3:38 pm

"Probably not."

by **Sara Stanton** » Mon Oct 04, 2010 3:47 pm

There's a moment of silence while Sara tries to decide if she should ask the question that's on her mind.

"Do you feel bad about the time you... you know..." she says eventually, gesturing at Onyx neck, "With the collar?"

by **Onyx** » Mon Oct 04, 2010 3:49 pm

"Of course not," Onyx says, "There were a lot of happy times."

by **Sara Stanton** » Mon Oct 04, 2010 3:50 pm

"You have no idea how good that is to hear." she smiles.

by **Onyx** » Mon Oct 04, 2010 3:52 pm

"Especially when compared to watching my friends and family die or drift apart from one another."

by **Sara Stanton** » Mon Oct 04, 2010 4:04 pm

Being reminded of that certainly takes the wind out of the sails of Sara's smile and she sighs. "I know... But we'll make things right somehow. I promise."

by **Onyx** » Mon Oct 04, 2010 4:42 pm

"I know you will," Onyx says.

by **Sara Stanton** » Tue Oct 05, 2010 2:55 am

"Anything else I should watch out for?" she smiles faintly, although it's more of a joke since hopefully most of what 'happened' might not go the same way again anyway.

by **Onyx** » Tue Oct 05, 2010 2:58 am

Onyx looks thoughtful, "....Well, there was what happened after the bachelorette party."

"But you and Aly were both very drunk," Onyx says dismissively, "And I think you had a lot of fun with us that night."

by **Sara Stanton** » Tue Oct 05, 2010 3:01 am

Sara's mouth just falls open at that and she stares at Onyx.

"You're just trying to mess with me again... Right?"

by **Onyx** » Tue Oct 05, 2010 3:03 am

"Yeah, you said that once or twice," Onyx says thoughtfully.
