The front half is the darkest park from receiving the most sun, a dark chocolate color.

Character Color: Blue Zircon- #57FEFF

Description:
Grey isn't skinny nor fat, but a good in between. She's 5'6", weighs 115 pounds, and her measurements are 35-25-39. She use to exercises everyday and doesn't over eat, which gives her a fit look with flat abs. On her heart shaped face no one could ever find a blemish, scar, or scratch, but there is a mole next to her right eye, in the middle of her right cheek, and two small freckles on the apple of her left cheek. She happens to have pimples sometimes, but always keeps it covered with her makeup. Also when Grey Smiles, which rare now, has dimples within the creases next to her lips. Her lips are plump and a rosy pink, but are chapped with broken skin and sometimes dried blood from where she chews on them. Even though she doesn't care about her hygiene as much as she use to she still maintains white teeth and shiny chocolate hair.

Grey's eyes are a dull dark brown color, but light up and shine when she's happy; the right one's a little darker. Her nose is slender and the bridge long, it's defined, but not to much. She has scars on her body, on her wrist that stick up and are lumpy and then around her neck, but it's flat and remains a white/pinkish rope thick loop that's flat on her skin and can be covered up by makeup. She has a darker skin completion from her Cherokee blood, and just being in the sun for ten minutes can get her extremely dark, but she's a pale dark color from staying inside a lot. Grey still has her tan but it's a very washed out gray-brown color. Her hair is below her chest, normally in big loss waves, it's dark, medium, and medium light brown.

When it comes to dressing she's very put together when she leaves the house. Grey is classy, never anything to tight or short or reveling. No is she trashy, never wearing things to baggy, that smell bad, or dirty. She normally wears something with a collar, dresses an shirts, and commonly known for wearing a tank-top with a see through button-downed collared shirt. But when she's at home she wears over sized clothes that don't fit her well, usually just an old oversized shirt of her old boyfriend.




For Better Or For Worse

Personality:
{Lost, Scared, Alone, Sad, Broken}
Grey use to be a very social girl, and in the public eye is still is. She laughs and smiles and cracks jokes, she can be the life of a party. She seems to be the caring friend someone can go to for their problems and talk about all of them and when they're through talking to her they feel better, but it's a show. Grey's practiced her smile and laugh in the mirror for years making it believable. She's so very cracked and when reassembled most of her pieces were still missing. She knows she's not whole and not completely there, so she does take therapy for it, she needs it dearly. Grey's just a fragment of what she use to be, now she feels like it's a curse to live.

Dying for her would be very peaceful and something she wants, she hates the break downs and the flash backs, but she has to keep moving forward in life. With her faking it's like she's still part of humanity like she should be. No one notices her pain, and that's how she wants it, to be unnoticed. She still feels emotions, usually depression, but she's still human. It makes her feel wanted when people come to her for help, she feels sorrow for those that need help, but greatly depression. Even though Grey's trying to stay intake with everything she still feels lost and alone even though people hold her near. Grey feels like even though she's trying in life it's not going to get any better than it is now.

She cries a lot, most of the time. Sadness is her biggest feel to a point of almost insanity. She has to take medication for her depression to keep her from being suicidal again. Grey's also not in the best states of mind. She suffers from paranoia and a case of schizophrenia, which she also takes medication for. When it comes to her mental disorder she usually sees her dead boyfriend and things along those lines. It also makes her bland herself even more for his death, for she sees things that tell her she is the killer and that blame her for the incident in her own mind. Along with all those feelings she is very afraid: of losing herself more and getting worse. Just because she still pretends to be happy doesn't mean she couldn't lose what she has now, it may be little but she has it. She had for her coffee shop after the death of her boyfriend, and if she lost that she would have been as depressed as she was the day she found him dead. Even though she still wasn't happy she had gotten a little better. It would have been good if she didn't cry so much or if she didn't always feel bad for herself or if she could just forget her boyfriend, but that wasn't life. Grey believes in three things: Black, White, and Grey. She believes the black to be the bad, the white the good, and the grey being the bad in the good. She knows she's in the grey momentarily.

The only time Grey is at her highest is when she's drunk. She took up drinking after her boyfriends death because for a short moment she can forget everything. She likes it because she doesn't have to put up with reality and when she sobers back up she's forgotten everything she's done. Also along with that pinch of happiness with her schizophrenia it caused her to see things that weren't there like her boyfriend. When she sees him she'll talk to him, giving her some peace on his death, even though she knows it's all in her mind she feels like she's seeing his ghost. And with Grey having paranoia she doesn't trust people well, thinking they're always out to get her.

Biography

Place Of Origin:
Greece

Birth Date:
January 1st, 1993

History:
Grey was raised by two parents, a nurse of a mother and a historian for a father. Every since she was young she was taught about medical things, how to stop a wound from bleeding so much, how to stitch herself up if she must, and other things from her mother and with her father he taught her other things to like: past wars, famous people, our founding fathers and other things. Grey had also been put into karate, boxing, and self defenses classes at the age of five. He use to give her little scenarios for her to figure out. Her fondest memory of one was when her father had returned home from an eight hour shift when she was ten. He has sat down on the couch and she'd ran over to him and sat in his lap. He chucked and began speaking. "Find the flaw," he had told her, "April 15th, 1865 at 9:50 P.M. Abraham Lincoln was assassinated." Grey gave a small giggle, "That's simple. He was killed at 10:15 P.M.!" She was so excited about how she was right. Her father had told her how smart she was and how she was so intelligent. "Correct!" He how'd shouted for for.

With her fathers inspiration when she turned ten she started going with her fathers to conventions where he'd be told information of the advances and histories of cultures around the world. Everything she'd learned stuck with her. With her parents being what they were they had some money to travel America a little, taking Grey to see some historical landmarks of the world the just lived in. Her favorite was the White House, she loved all the old paintings, the statues, and the new information she gathered from the holographic informers, at the time she was ten as well. And this was the best thing she's seen so far in her life, and for a while the last.

A few years after the Washington trip when Grey was fifteen she went to work with her mother. They were in her office as she filled out some paper work about the birth she'd just delivered, a pretty, young, rich girl. "Was the baby alright?" She had asked her mother and she nodded. Grey had smiled back. "I'm going to go use the restroom." She told her mother and left the room. Walking into the hall full of people it wasn't to busy, just a few people here and there. She was distant into her thoughts when she bumped into something and fell. "I'm so sorry!" A boy with a stained shirt had told her as he helped her up. "No, no it was all my fault, sorry about your coffee." "I think I'm more worried about my shirt," he replied with a laugh holding out his hand, "George." "Grey she responded shaking it back."

George had just moved to town that week because his mom had gotten transferred to the hospital that Grey's mother worked at. From the point of his arrival they were glued together having all the same classes and hanging after school at local coffee shops. It wasn't soon that they were dating, and love followed right behind the two. With George being about a year old her had asked Grey for her hand when she was still seventeen, and with her mothers consent they were married. Life for the two was full of happiness. Grey worked in a library, while George a coffee shop.

"Will should build our own." George had said out of the blue on day. "What?" Grey questioned. "My Dearest Sweet, we should have our own coffee shop built!" "You're crazy!" She replied laughing at him as she had put a book down. "Find, we won't have it built, we'll buy one." Grey had rolled her eyes at his proposal, "With no money?" "I've been saving." "Really now?" With them both sitting on the couch he pulled out a slip of paper. "It's a lease for
International Coffee!" He exclaimed. With them both jumping up they hugged each other excitedly.

At first everything went great, they were busy and the money was pouring in. They always payed their bills on time, life couldn't get better, but it did get worse. Across the street a bigger and better coffee shop had opened and money became tight. While Grey was at school George would work long hours to bring in as much money as he could. The two of them began to fight a lot and at first it was off, but soon became normal.

After a long day of school Grey had come home to a silent house. "Hello?" She had called with no reply. Checking room from room she checked for George she could not find him, but when going down to the basement she did. He was hanging by a rope tied around a pipe. "George!" She screamed as she rushed off to him. Unable to untie him she found a old baseball bat and hit the pipe with it until it broke. Holding him in her arms she weeped and sticking out of his pocket was a piece of paper. Pulling out the paper she read: 'My Dearest Sweet, if you're reading this then it means I have passed and I'm sorry. I'm depressed and I don't know what to do anymore, Hun. We're swamped in debt and barely have time for each other; I feel useless to you anymore. With the passing I hope it helps you, I'm sorry.
Love, George.'
Unable to bare with his death she buried him in the back yard with the hopes no one would ever find out.

After the incident Grey had grown cold and reserved mentally and began taking lots of therapy. The therapy helped some, but she didn't grow out of her depression, so she started drinking. Getting drunk became normal for her, but never once did she let it show in public, she didn't want to lose her jobs or her kicked out if school. Getting schizophrenia from it she began seeing her dead boyfriend at times, causing her both pain in joy. As the time passed she could no longer handle it and tried hanger herself as well, but the rope had been weak and broke from her weight. When the rope had broken it had left rope burn and a white scar that went all around her neck.

Theme Song




How To Save A Life | The Fray
Step one – you say, "We need to talk."
He walks, you say, "Sit down. It's just a talk."
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
And you begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Let him know that you know best
'Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
Pray to God, he hears you
And I pray to God, he hears you

And where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

How to save a life

How to save a life

Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
How to save a life

How to save a life

#, as written by Vix
Novia allowed herself to be herded up the next four flights of stairs along with the others, cautiously remaining at the back of the pack to judge them all quietly. She somewhat enjoyed Scarlet's no-nonsense attitude, though she'd have to say that the seemingly kind Nicholas was her favorite while the smoking douchebag was her least favorite. With her hood off she was able to catch a better glimpse of the people around her - An even number of males and females. Strange. She noticed a bubbly girl immediately taking to Nicholas' side, flirting with him right off the bat. I've never seen a nose that brown on a girl so white. She snickered in her thoughts, shaking her head. Before she could assess the others, they arrived at their destination.

She found herself at the end of the formed line as they came into the Benefactor's office, expecting a slightly uninspiring speech. Which she was mostly right about. But what threw her off was the light snaking around her - The Benefactor said it was getting to know her to determine what power she would get. Once more she felt vulnerable and exposed, though it spiked her anger more this time as she clenched her fists. She forced herself to listen as he assessed everyone, making mental notes who to stay away from. And then. He came to her.

“Novia do not fear. Although I know that you are not legal here, let it be assured that your secret is safe with us and that I am not here to deport you. In fact come see me some time and I have connection that might help you get citizenship if you so desire. But in regards to your job, I know you are a bright person, yet you have been held back by poverty. Therefore you will be the Negotiator, negotiating with various salesmen for needed goods. If any of the workers or I need something we will turn to you for your negotiation skills will be so amazing it will be as though they cannot refuse. You will persuade them with "Do we have an accord?" and the item is yours! I trust that you are smart enough to know the correct amount to negotiate for, as you will have a budget to abide by.”

She almost couldn't believe her ears, taking a few steps back. Legal citizenship...? Supernatural negotiation powers...? Did he really want to give that to her? As she mulled over the situation, she realized that everyone was talking now. Well. She was done here. “Well, as much as I'd love to stay and join you all in being harassed and degraded by Nero of the 21st Century, I think I can manage to find something more stimulating to help me grasp onto what's going on. Thanks for the stuff, by the way. Love the kitchen design. But I really want my Audi back.” She was really beginning to wish she could find her gun right about now. But she would have to settle for something more productive.

Tipping a lazy salute, she politely made her way past everyone and left, going back the way that she had come with everyone else. Her key was drawn out of her pocket as she came to her door and went inside. Once more she was greeted by a vision of perfection. She left the door open some as she walked by the counter, dropping her keys there and kicking off her shoes. She headed back to her amazing room, dropping her clothes and tossing them in a hamper to trade in for yummy pajamas and a bandana. Her path was made to the kitchen where she worked fast to set out a dinner for herself. Steak, tomatoes, onions, cilantro, cheese, and tortillas surrounded her as she soon filled her new home with the sound of chopping and singing.

"Plus, not everyone loves me. You should know that Aradia," with those words, Aradia flinches slightly, feeling a cut through her just as painful as it ought to be. She can't help but feel it to be an attack on herself, and bites the inside of her cheek so sharply that it feels as though it will bleed, clearing her mind with the passing pain. She's about to make some defensive statement, twice as sharp against the girl who doesn't have armor nearly as strong as the one that Aradia has come to wear every day. Too bad the armor didn't protect her from the bandaged wounds littering her still sore body. The girl moves slightly, taking a step back with her left leg, but this causes her to wince, feeling the pain of the deep cut in that leg, which rubs a bit against the gauze and is therefore irritated. "People love you too Aradia," Hailey adds in a gentle tone, but it only injures the bitter girl further, watching this person as she, in Aradia's mind, lies straight to her face. The slight softening she might have felt from the earlier statement, the fleeting vulnerability founded from surprise, is immediately sealed up as tightly as Aradia can manage to seal it. She retreats back within the mental armor like a child under their blankets to hide from the morning light or from monsters they imagine- from imaginary enemies dancing in the shadows across the wall.

"What a pretty fantasy," Aradia shoots back finally, the response clearly delayed by thought but said with a malice that cuts as poorly as a dull knife, but can spread sickness like a rusty one. Hailey is naive, that much Aradia has known ever since she first met the pretty little fool, but she never thought her so oblivious as to think that anyone might love her- that anyone might love Aradia, that is. Not as they love Hailey, the gentle girl who is a bit sick in the head, but saccharine enough to draw close a family and, before Aradia, some semblance of a life. Hasn't Hailey already received a chance for a second life, with that ideal family she was placed with and unconditionally accepted by? It burns in Aradia's veins, the knowledge that Hailey, for all of the luck that Aradia perceives in her, should be given the same second chance as a girl who grew up to the sound of broken glasses and tearing skin.

Now brooding, Aradia ignores Hailey's reassurance that the letter may have been accidentally forgotten, or that Aradia might not have seen it. Rather, she looks straight ahead upon the mention of continuing onward by those who seem to know precisely what they are doing. A lack of elevator is no concern to Aradia- her own apartment building's elevator was in a perpetual state of disrepair, and even when the management claimed that it was functional, only the bravest, or newest, of tenants would dare step foot in the suspicious -at best- vehicle. More than one person had been injured when it malfunctioned, and the machine was known to suddenly break down, leaving people stranded for time spanning from five minutes to five hours.

Almost immediately upon entering the room, Aradia's attention is grabbed by a young man who accuses an older man- the benefactor- of kidnapping them. Of course, that is the only word that can be used to describe the situation, and the young woman silently shares the anger and curiosity- not that she has a better place to return to. Aradia looks away from the Benefactor when he makes a note for the benefit of those who might not have found their letter, embarrassed and certainly not going to ask after her room number- she had memorized it before leaving anyway, not so careless as to leave without knowing it, even if she had planned to leave for good.

Any thoughts that Aradia may have had in regards to this strange man who introduced himself as Sylvester and then, after that, the Benefactor, are immediately chased away by confusion and gripping fear when the room is used as a dance hall for mysterious winds and stage for a green light to illuminate, coming from beneath them and sending an inexplicable chill down the redhaired girl's spine. I need to get out of here, she thinks, shivering still. The Benefactor speaks cryptically, referring to some being, some Him, without giving any actual details- only causing Aradia to feel a growing amount of suspicion about all of this. She suddenly fears that this is some sort of human trafficking ring after all, and they've put on a strangely grand show in order to daze and drug those who are soon to be their victims. Her instinct is to cling to the familiar- but the girl is far too proud, despite her immense insecurities, to turn to Hailey- weak Hailey, whom she carefully continues to ignore.

When addressed, along with Hailey and a girl apparently named Grey, Aradia feels stiff, standing perfectly still and keeping her eyes just above the Benefactor's head- as though afraid to meet his eyes, and the warmth in them that is too alien in anyone but Hailey. Once more, she feels as though his words are an attack on her, and frowns slightly at the mention of the flaws in their friendship- as if she isn't acutely aware of them, far more so than Hailey, the victim in the situation.

When he addresses her, personally, the girl is overcome with a sudden heat. It is not the warmth of the magic, but a sudden angry wave crashing over her head and threatening to eclipse her, as he points out that her problem is not being satisfied with her life, and then being jealous of others. Others have been told of horrible things happening to them, and yet she is accused- that is how the girl views it, anyway. She grits her teeth in anger, clenching her fists. Fuck you. Not satisfied with my life? How would you know, living in suits and comfort? You want me to be satisfied? You want me to be okay? I've tried. I didn't want this. I didn't fucking ask for this. I've tried to escape- it isn't my fault that through some sick joke, I've never been able to. Fuck you. Trying to help me? You're just like everyone else, her thoughts are vehement, and yet her exterior is the image of placid. Not a single one of those words is let slip out of her mind, because she is nothing if not controlled. He gives her her ability, and she can feel a searing pain on her hand, but doesn't care- her fists are already curled so tightly that her fingernails dig little crescents into her palms.

Why? My second chance is to be a better friend? It's just for Hailey, isn't it? I'm not being saved from people who beat me and hate me. I'm not being saved from trying to kill myself. They're just saving Hailey. It's always Hailey.

For the rest of the little gathering, Aradia doesn't say a word. She simply stares at the ground, her face almost void of emotions and her eyes just hollow enough to hide the anger that would otherwise burn in them- the passion put out by tears long ago. Aradia doesn't want to work with other people, and she doesn't want to be part of this savior program- not part of this man's god-complex or his quest to become some sort of false martyr. She just wants to leave. She wishes that this had been some sort of plot to harvest her organs and leave her dead in some tub of ice somewhere, to be found by the police three weeks later. Why do they have me here any way. I'm just the fucking bad guy after all, aren't I? Just the bad guy, she thinks, wanting to run out of here as fast as possible.

She watches as one man leaves, storms out really, and wants to do the same. But Aradia doesn't move unless dismissed, standing their, limbs tightened and knots likely building in her back- as though there aren't too many of them there for a girl her age already. She wants to break things, or to do something violent- something to relieve her anger. Other people begin to excuse themselves as well, and she takes that as a sign that she can leave. The girl doesn't make a comment on her way out, just turning around and walking away silently. However, she only makes it down one flight of stairs before, certain that there is no one with her, she falls to her knees and begins to punch the wall violently, putting her strength and anger into it and hurting her knuckles rather badly, no doubt. "Fuck. It's always Hailey. I might as well go back home- at least they don't knows she exists there. Why couldn't I have just died in that stupid alley? Why didn't they ever just punch hard enough to kill?"
Losing the strength in her arm, she begins to use her head, hitting it against the wall over and over, as though that will help make the rage and the self-pitying go away.

"Everyone else is some sob story- I'm just the villain they're trying to reform."

The Benefactor didn’t have to wait long for others to respond to the mysterious happening of the office and himself. Grey had asked, "Why was I chosen?" and the Benefactor would have thought it was obvious at this point yet he opened his mouth to respond. Before he could, the Benefactor stopped as he heard laughter coming from another Harper who had only one question to ask, “Why does the elevator not work?” The Benefactor took a moment to smirk at the question, anticipating that it would come out sooner or later but not with the enthusiasm Harper had. Still he did have to explain and he would’ve if Jasper wasn’t so quick to answer Grey. “Apparently, you weren’t paying attention when this guy was giving an overview of everyone’s life story,” as he gestured to the Benefactor on cue. Obviously, simple bitch, you’re just as fucked up as the rest of the broken toys here.” Afterwards he turned to the Benefactor. “I have a real question, Mr. B,” sounding irritated. The Benefactor held back his smile to the nickname, hiding the fact that he kind of liked it because he knew now was not the time. “Can I just get the hell out of here?” Jasper asked before shaking his head ,waving his hand, and walking towards the door. ”You know, what? You don’t even have to answer that. I’m going to just go.” And with that Jasper walked out of the office, the first one to leave after the empowering. The Benefactor didn’t need to signal Scarlet as she walked out of the office after Jasper. After a while, she came back in without him, unsuccessful perhaps.

In a few moments, Daniel spoke up agreeing with Harper the “former hooker.” “I don’t know, it just seems like a lot of walking,” while Rosalina and Noah had a conversation amongst themselves. Makoto seemed to be the only one who enjoyed this at this point. The Benefactor wasn’t surprised when another one, Alton, also announced that he would get out of here. “Listen, I’m just going to go back to my flat, the atmosphere in there right now is pitiful and I don’t want to deal with it. So if you don’t mind, I’m going to try to come to terms with the fact that pain isn’t available to me anymore.” The Benefactor watched Alton leave and thought, ”My, I wonder if I should’ve really done that, or rather if he should’ve given him that ability considering his…special kinship towards it. But what’s done is done and he cannot take it back.”

If the Benefactor had thought that Makoto was the one who enjoyed this he couldn’t have been more wrong when Grey had started a whole conversation to him about thanking him for saving her schooling for psychology, offering her coffee skills, introducing herself, a “broken” closet, and a bottle of wine that didn’t make her drunk. The Benefactor had taken her hand and shook it gently giving her a warm reassuring smile while she spoke, but couldn’t help raise his eyebrow and give a concerned look when she mentioned the bottle of wine.

“Grey, it is a pleasure for you to offer coffee. I’d like to take up the offer sometime if it’s no trouble, and perhaps the others would like some too. I will ask the maids to gather a list from each of you about your clothing preferences. Though, about the wine…I’m sorry to say that I didn’t put that there…” The Benefactor grew jealous for the moment. ”Of all the things I don’t give them, why did it have to be wine!” he thought. The Benefactor could feel his taste buds craving for the drink that Grey had taken up and he couldn’t help but tighten his grip, forgetting that Grey was holding onto his hands. “Ahh sorry about that miss. But I can’t inform you much on the wine.”

He was about to suggest that Novia would help the maids gather deals on the clothing but then she excused herself, in a much intelligent and sarcastic tone, “Well, as much as I'd love to stay and join you all in being harassed and degraded by Nero of the 21st Century, I think I can manage to find something more stimulating to help me grasp onto what's going on. Thanks for the stuff, by the way. Love the kitchen design. But I really want my Audi back.”

More people walked out of the office after Novia, leaving Grey, Harper, Rosalina, Noah, Daniel, Makoto, and Jang to be in the room. Aradia and Zeus left the area without a word. Fiona said a goodbye to Harper saying, “As much as it is seeing people explode and hearing all this cursing, I think I'm going to go look around this place. But, it was very nice speaking to you, Harper. I hope to see you around.” With the leave of her best friend Aradia, Hailey excused herself, "I...I...Never mind. Excuse me, I need to... I gotta... I need to collect.. collect.. collect my thoughts."
The Benefactor observed all of this, and took note of who left and who still remained. It didn’t surprise him much that some people stayed behind while others had left. This happened many times over and after experience he knew that plans don’t always go as smoothly, so he had to think of an alternative. He smiled towards Grey who was still nearby him and then addressed the crowd of young adults.

“Now, I see that we won’t be able to go have a tour around the town, which is still fine. You’re free to go and look around this weekend as your jobs don’t start until Monday. However, I see that we need to get together as a group, so I’m going to plan a little something for us to do this evening. For now, I want you to get closer to each other, especially trying to find those who have just ran off. There are no more secrets in this place anymore since we have to get close to each other. It is important that a business runs as a unit that so happens to have many components.” The Benefactor smiled, remembering that logic from his father who he had looked up to all those years ago as a child. Now it was his turn to shine, his moment of leadership. “In fact, this may also be an excellent opportunity to try out your powers if you wish, as long as the other person is willing of course. Again Daniel, I warn you on not making anyone…endowed with another person inside of them…unless they wish it upon themselves.”

Before the new recruits headed out the Benefactor quickly said, “And the reason why the elevator doesn’t work is because my father was unfortunate enough to receive this building without one and as it expended the workers couldn’t install one. I apologize for this, but in a sense it is a good way to be healthy and exercise. You never know when emergency could strike and that extra training would help.” After the new recruits filed out, The Benefactor motioned to Nick and Scar to have a meeting to themselves.

“Nicholas, Scarlet, watch over these interactions. We need to make sure they do not get unnecessarily injured in any way,” the Benefactor whispered with a serious tone. Slowly his serious expression turned into a smile and he cheerfully smiled and he continued, “Especially since they’re supposed to have a good time!”

Nick nodded and politely said, “Yes, sir,” then grabbed Scarlet’s hand and escorted her out. Making sure that nobody was around, Nick asked, “So, Scar, how do you think of the new recruits? I’m definitely enjoying the chicks around here, though the guys ain’t so bad. They’re such lucky bastards though. The Benefactor’s throwing them a party again even though they act like such brats!” He gazed at Scarlet as she spoke, observing her beautifully defined body and the flaring sea of vermillion that flowed down with it. Her luscious lips seemed to move with the words she spoke and he didn’t care what she was saying so long as he could look intensely at his partner. Ignoring anything she was saying he then asked, “Hey, why don’t you tell me your power?” He eyed Scarlet suspiciously, circling around her as he spoke. “I mean, it’s been a long time since I joined and you’ve always just kept to yourself about it. We’re partners so shouldn’t we be looking out for each other?” Nick then put his arms around Scarlet and looked at her earnestly, this time showing genuine interest and concern for her. “C’mon, Scar. You know I worry about you sometimes. Why don’t you promise you’ll show me your power? It doesn’t have to be now since I know sometimes there has to be those opportune moments. But can you promise me you’ll show it to me?” Nick held on to Scarlet and stared into her eyes, awaiting an answer.

Image“Grey, it is a pleasure for you to offer coffee. I’d like to take up the offer sometime if it’s no trouble, and perhaps the others would like some too. I will ask the maids to gather a list from each of you about your clothing preferences. Though, about the wine…I’m sorry to say that I didn’t put that there…” As he spoke he grew silent and his hand tightened around her hand causing discomfort, but she said nothing about the oddity. “Ahh sorry about that miss. But I can’t inform you much on the wine.” "Oh, ok then." Her voice was whispered as she watched the man walk away from the conversations, which she didn't mind much. Note, you'll be making lots and lots of coffee later. Looking around the room she noticed how most had left leaving the sparkling place almost hostless. Feeling a lump of lonely in the bottom of her stomach she didn't like it like she usually did, this place was making her feel all sorts of abnormal. Crossing her arms over her chest she straightened up and with her heeled shoes took her leave like most.

Looking around the hall it had few life as well, More people... She didn't know what to do, not at all, but she was a fast thinker. Glancing around she noticed the black haired boy she tried speaking to before that had said nothing in return. He was Alton she thought Mr. Benefactor had said, and he was an animal rescuer if she recalled correctly. Smoothing back her hair she clacked over to him trying to catch him before he returned back to his room. "Um, Alton." Sticking her arm at in front of him to cut off his walking she let it prop against the wall. "I'm Grey, so how are you enjoying things?" With a small shrug of her shoulders the air around her thicker from lack of words she could think of. Biting her bottom lip from habit she searched her mind for topics. Friendly... coffee... "How about you come with me to have a cup of coffee? I mean we'll be working together, so why not get to know each other more?" Not really waiting for his answer she took his wrist firmly in her hand and pulled him to where the stairs were. "With no elevator this of course will be a long walk, so why not talk on the way down to the fourth floor?" She at least though her room was on the fourth floor, hopefully.

As walking down the stairs she let the coolness of the metal railing slip through her pores as she held on to it. The room was calm and silent besides the sounds of her walking echoing through the spiral stair case. The small turns reminded her of Cinnamon Twist that she use to bake, sugar flakes that melted lightly on the tongue once entering the mouth; maybe she'd bake some. "Before I came here I owned a coffee shop, it wasn't to popular but money came in and the coffee broke the surface of perfect." Pondering what she had just spoken she stopped and turned to him, "I'm sorry how vain that sounded, I just take pride in the coffee I make." Sheepishly smiling she hoped she wasn't being a bother to the boy she had brought down the stairs without him agreeing. "I'll make you some if you want," taking a pause she searched his face for any signs of irritation, "Alton." Saying his name was strange, or at least saying it so formally. The taste it left behind was bittersweet, nice to hold a conversation but strange to have one so one to one.

"Looks like we're here." Once all the step walking was done her voice was airy from all the walking, she was tired and needed to sit. Going to room 214 she opened the door, leaving it so encase he walked in as well, and flopped done to her bed which was immediately behind her door. She didn't have a living room, but there was a comfortable looking light blue couch that her company could sit on or maybe she could hold their attention in the kitchen. Jumping back to her feet that's where she decided that's the room she could go to, so she did. She's fix some coffee, some food for herself and maybe Alton, just maybe.

Going to the coffee maker she opened it up, No water. Pulling back random doors she stopped until she found where the cups were. Getting out a measuring cup she closed all the doors, turned the sink on, filled the measuring cup to three, then poured it into the maker. Looking at a small rack next to the maker it held different types of coffee. Ruining her finger across them she bit her bottom lip. Stopping her finger over the one labeled French Vanilla she plopped it out and put it into the maker. This shouldn't take to long. Bending over in an almost perfect L shape she let her hair flow towards the ground. Pulling a hair tie from her right wrist she fiddled with it in her hair into she created a bun on the top of her head. Perfect enough I guess. she could feel the loss strands tickling the back of her neck, but she did nothing about it, all she did was pull out a mug where the cups had been and waited for it to full with her delicious coffee that she didn't feel like making from scratch.

Alton was heading back towards his room, head down with his fingers scratching absently at his wrist as he tried to comprehend why it felt like a cool rush instead of the hot friction sensation he had become accustom too. Deep in his own mind he hadn’t expected anyone to try and bother him, but sure enough, he was stopped.

“ Um, Alton.” He paused and turned his head to look for whoever called him. It was that loud girl that seemed to always have something to say, or someone to coddle up to. He couldn’t remember her name though, some sort of color though, something with an aye sound. He just wanted to back to his room though, he was feeling less motivated than usual to socialize with anyone.

"I'm Grey, so how are you enjoying things?" The statement was almost laughable, and he could feel a heavy bitterness pooling in his gut at the thought of enjoying himself here. So far all had seen was a bunch of people with sad stories that hadn’t been able to get over it. Not that he was really one to talk, but he didn’t consider himself emotionally damaged. He wasn’t haunted by his past, he was ok. “It’s okay I guess.”

"How about you come with me to have a cup of coffee? I mean we'll be working together, so why not get to know each other more?" Coffee… was not something Alton found himself interested in. And he didn’t want to spend more time with her, but then she grabbed his wrist and he felt himself seize up. And underneath his palm he could feel her germs squirming between their contact and even though he didn’t feel pain anymore the images her still real and he couldn’t make them go away anymore by biting his lip. I need to wash my hands. He thought desperately as his heart began racing, she dragged him somewhere and her words blurred together and his breathing huffed between his lips in short discreet gasps to hide that he was having a problem. She dragged him for a long time too, and Alton kept his head down and thought of his drawings and the things he read in his books, his free hand clenched and unclenched exactly seventeen times before he could focus again.

He didn’t like it, the close contact she had taken to. And she was talking, he decided to focus on that instead, panicking didn’t solve shit. He tried to listen instead of feel, and it helped slightly. “ I'm sorry how vain that sounded, I just take pride in the coffee I make.” No not vain, it more so close to the word endearing. “It’s not vain to take pride in the things you care about.” But when he said it, it didn’t sound quite right and his hand clenched by his side. “Things you care about, things you care about,” It was acting up again. “Things you care about. Things. You. Care about.” He sucked in a breath quickly, four was enough. He pushed his thoughts forward, Alton for one enjoyed his drawings and his large collection of books, but he wasn’t one for throwing that out into the open. He much preferred keeping to himself.

“Alton.” He was expecting her to say something else, but she stopped with his name. He wondered if he had missed something from before, and he probably did. Or, maybe, this was just how people interacted, he didn’t get a lot of personal social interaction anymore, he preferred the quietness of being by himself, or rudeness of an agitated person. It seemed like too much of a contradictory for even his own self to understand. In the end he responded with a dull, “Grey.”

He walked into the room and tapped the door frame with the tip of his middle finger before walking in. The inside of her room was drastically different from his, for one her room wasn’t filled with cardboard boxes and he wondered briefly if she had already unpacked her things and he was just slow. When she began making coffee he briefly wondered if she had cleaned all those dishes before using them, but again he forced it down.

“I wouldn’t mind a cup, sorry for the trouble.” Even if he didn’t want it, politeness was key in social interaction. He moved towards her and tapped the counter before he leaned against it, watching her as she made it.

Grey Amor Scott



ImageWhen thinking about the coffee she lifted the lid back up, replaced it in her hand, and looked it over. Not only was it instant made, but it was her blend in it, actually all the coffees on the rack were hers, My own instant made! As coffee grinds began spilling to her skin she knew it would be best to put it back to let the brew finish. Letting the lid of the maker click again to it's home. “I wouldn’t mind a cup, sorry for the trouble.” As the coffee made she gave her full attention to him with a welcoming grin. The feel of giving others her makings could bring more joy to her than allowed, but still pleasant filled. "Absolutely no trouble!" As the words swam from her mouth she noticed the tap then lean that Alton presented, "OCD?" She may had been asking, but she was pretty sure she had been right about it. With the studies she had to taken in college she had to know how to read signs from the way people talked, acted, body potions, and so on. "I'm just guessing from the taps and the repeating you did on the stairs." Resting her hands against the contain she sighed as she relaxed her body. "I have some annoying ticks myself." Rolling her eyes to herself she walked to the fridge and pulled out another bottle of the wine she had drank before.

Shutting the door with her foot she began reading the label, Don't let the taste fool you, for this is not alcohol, but a supplement that affects the brain... blah, blah, blah, skip, skip, skip... this shall make you happy beyond your wildest dreams. Feeling a flash of anger she let the bottle fall to the ground exploding into a mixture of red and crystallized rain. "Crap!" The floor to the right of the kitchen table had been stained in a dark claret color, a mess made by an idiotic Grey. "I'm sorry about this mess." Scanning the room quickly she caught sight of a broom in the corner of the far wall that she hasn't seen before, Such a strange place. Not pondering for to long she maneuvered around the shards of glass to reach it. With her back to the mess she reached for the broom once reaching the wall.

"Mess cleaned."

Raising a brow to the sound that was more mechanical than human she turned to see the mess was gone. A stunned look plastered to her face as she let the broom settle back to it's resting place. Examining the floor there was no more mess to worry about, no evidence behind that it ever existed. "Did you see-"

Beep! Beep! Beep!

Cries from the coffee maker drew her away from her sentence to it instead. Pressing gentle on the off button she pulled the mug out by it's creamy porcelain handle and handed to Alton. "It's French Vanilla, I hope it's to your liking." Glimpsing of déjà vu flashed in her minds eye as she remembered saying the same before to her husband. Tears welled up on the rims of her eyes. She had been always in a mood of adulation with him, but now she was disconsolate for so long, but now she felt a glim of hope creeping in which scared her. Breathing deeply she tried to pull the edges of her lips up to create an allusion of pep, but she couldn't pull it off. Paint splattered tear drops hit her shirt as she tired laughing it off. "Pointless. Blowing it off she used what little arm strength she had to pull herself up on to the table.

Crossing her legs she let her head flop to her hands. "I hope you're enjoying your coffee." The well of water finally ran dry leaving behind a sign of puffy and red to her face. "You're an animal rescuer, right? Well, I'm a consular." Stating the obvious she picked up the bottled of Happy Juice, popped it, then began to glop it down; she needed some happy supplement. "If everyone had this there'd be no need for consulars." Setting the bottle down she squeezed on to the edge of the table as she hunched over and kicked her legs. "If you ever need to be consoled I'll always have open ears, and I'll be able to feel your emotion pain with you." In a way she was trying to make small puns, but wasn't sure if her point was getting across. The comment was almost laughable though. Grey did wish to be a psychologist, and this was the closet she'd get, but she at times did have trouble listening. She was one to zone out if the topic didn't grab her enough, but with her feeling their pain cause it to be different? She hoped so at least, to help people with horrible things going on like the ones from her past.

Grey Amor Scott



ImageMissing the sweet taste of the deep red liquid made gee lust for the taste. Going back to her fridge she popped open a new bottle. The cringing of woe deteriorated to nothing but a slithering recoil as her drink swam down her throat. Happy recollections and bubbly thoughts made the girl hope from a slight outburst. Letting the glass make its trancing all-around fullness to the clear blue surface. With a bottom lip being strangled by white rounded pearls contributed a small single flow of a silver taste to flow lightly across her tongue. The taste made her haze loosely as she watched over her guested that appeared uncomfortable the way she would without the untitled drink.

"Excuse me for a second, please?" Not regarding what he said she sprung from where she had been and found her way from the maze which was her new home. When in the hall she leaned against her door and slid to the floor. Her knees bent up to her chest from instinct; she was in a ball of solitude. Grey was in a happy cloud, so abnormal that this all was in a dream state to her, but of course she would try her best to adapt. When drifting back to a fullness she let her hair down from the messiness of the bun and let her eyes adjust to the darkness of the hall. Why isn't it lit up like before? The question was simple and she decided not to press on it with.

Clop.

A faint noise, a creeping step, captivated her attention on the spot as someone entered the once sleeping hallway. The psychologist. The once half awake lights grew strong and brilliant from his presence. She said no words to him, maybe because to her he was nameless and only carried a title similar to hers, could it be that she had no need to talk to anyone else than the person she was already trying to keep interest in, or maybe she felt a heat of intimidation crashed over her like a storm of waves. What was she to do in a room with a man with the job she longed for? With he having so did that mean he was smarted than her? Jealousy may have been one emotion, but another note was clear: she wasn't the best with people. Her pretending could only travel a distance before one could realize she didn't care at all. Maybe this caused her to not get the role she deemed worthy.

ImageSheepishly smiling to the stranger she watched as he walked, uneasy and almost looked scared. "I've been studying psychology for years, so if you ever need help I'm your gal." Giving him a look over he looked about her age, a nice looking young man, not that it even mattered to Grey. He seemed nervous, which did intrigue Grey to the fullest. Thinking about her new abilities this would be a good time to try it, but wouldn't that be rude to do use it without permission? She wasn't sure how to though, was it just doing it or using a new given muscle in the brain? These were questions she'd have to ask Mr. Benefactor later, somewhat important for her new job.

"Did you have any prior knowledge of your new profession before coming here? I mean the brain and the way people function isn't something you can just learn over night." Using her hands as she spoke she ended with the thickness of her Greek accent sneaking through from her new found interest. Here she was sparking new conversation ablaze to a new person starting a fire, but this time it was different. "Like, Dissociative Identity Disorder is the correct term for having split personalities, and that they're still studies on it because it still isn't completely known. Did you know that most patients that have it were abused as kids or had some traumatic trauma in their life? Do you even know how to console such people with an array of disorders?" Her voice climaxed with each passing word; she couldn't help but love an intellectual conversation. If he didn't understand the job she word harass him until he did, there was just no way she'd let him disgrace what a good psychologist would do. Setting her hands to her sides she pushes herself off the ground with a jump. Her hair flew up then landed in her face, and with this she shuck her head like a dog letting it fall to its place on her shoulders. Walking to him she couldn't hold back her grin of excite; another person she hoped would be as intelligent as her to speak to.

Zeus jumped at the sound of a voice, a female voice the only. He let out a soft breath before turning towards the direction of the voice this was also when he noticed a girl that he hadn't seen before well at least other than when they had been in the group meeting and had to stand in that circle. It took him a couple moments before remembering what she did. "Did you have any prior knowledge of your new profession before coming here? I mean the brain and the way people function isn't something you can just learn overnight." The girl commented which made Zeus roll his eyes at her just before crossing his toned arms across his chest protectively. "Right I'll keep that in mind if I need help with my job." He stopped for a couple seconds, collecting his thoughts, and attempting to slow down his racing heart. "To be honest, I have no experience with being a Psychologist, but I have had experience with listening to people. It can't be too hard from what I have heard all it sounds like is just listening to people and helping them through the pains in their life. I have to listen, and to be honest I am pretty damn good at listening to people." He replied and slowly leaned against the wall. He thought for a moment, so this Death/Suicide Counselor is trying to tell him how to do his job? "If you’re the girl to go to if I need help with my job then why aren't you a Psychologist here? I mean you must not be that good at it if that wasn't, right?" He asked the question out loud that had been pestering him for after she had said something to him. He could feel his hands getting sweaty, was that rude? Had he just hurt her feelings? He hadn't thought about it, but it was the truth. That was what was on his mind, and by accident it kind of just slipped out… Oh dear he really hoped she wouldn't cry because then he really would feel bad about what he said.

"Like, Dissociative Identity Disorder is the correct term for having split personalities, and that they're still studies on it because it still isn't completely known. Did you know that most patients that have it were abused as kids or had some traumatic trauma in their life? Do you even know how to console such people with an array of disorders?" Zeus began to rub his sweaty hands together as he thought of what to say to that. "No of course not, I used to work at a Pizza Hut. If anyone had split personalities it was that woman who would come in every day, and would tell me how nice I was just before screaming at how terrible the service was." He told her simply, closing his eyes momentarily as a thought had popped into his head. "Have you ever worked with a Dissociative Identity Disorder?" Questioned Zeus. His memory of all that technical jibber-jabber was amazing that he could even remember that. "I doubt it because I don't think you are that far into your career." He retorted.

"Want to know my experience? My experience is taking care of a poor little mentally disabled girl on the weekends when I visit my cousins. She is just the sweetest little thing, and guess what I have worked around that. People aren't too nice to her about it, and I talk to her about it. I comfort her because that is what cousins do. Family does that for each other. When my mother is having men problems I talk to her about it no matter how much I hate her guts." He hissed, suddenly frustrated with this girl. "Paranoia, my boss obviously has it. He wants us to lock the freezer and all the cabinets before we even lock up the store for the day. Why? I have no idea, maybe because she is afraid that someone might steal frozen pizzas if they were to break in." Letting out a long breath he rubbed his eyes out of frustration. "Look I'm really sorry for my tone or if I’m being mean, but you’re questioning me things that I don’t really have the answer to. Questions about my job that I just got today pretty much. Plus I just walked up here, and you didn’t even learn my name. ” He told her with a small smile that cracked and showed up after a little while.

”Anyways, I may not be perfect with other's and not know all these weird fancy terms, but I'm open to listening to people. I am here to take away a painful memory from other's and make them feel better by discussing with them what is bothering them the most. I can at least try, and before then I don't want some woman to try to help me out with a job that I don't even know if I need help with it or not yet." He mumbled in a slightly apologetic tone. Now the guilt was taking over, maybe he was being harsh on the girl, but he wasn't sure yet. Surly he would find out soon, and he wasn't sure if he was ready to make any rivals yet. Especially with the females, the same gender that haunts him every day from his horrific experiences.

Image"Anyways, I may not be perfect with other's and not know all these weird fancy terms, but I'm open to listening to people. I am here to take away a painful memory from other's and make them feel better by discussing with them what is bothering them the most. I can at least try, and before then I don't want some woman to try to help me out with a job that I don't even know if I need help with it or not yet." Sliding up the wall she arose to her feet with a huge ear to ear grin that uncontrollably stained her face like she had found something she'd been looking for. He might not have taken as many classes or spent years learning the subject like her, but at least he cared about helping others, that was the point of the job.

Walking over to him she held out her hand. "I'm Grey, Suicide/Death Consoler. I wish I was the Psychologist, badly," letting out a soft smile she finally looked him in the eyes like she hadn't to most of the others she'd spoken, "but I know I don't fully deserve it. I know most about it, and yes I have had the change to work along side Dissociative Identity Disordered patients before, and honestly it was the highlight of all my schooling." Dropping her hand she took a few steps back to look at him. "For a pizza boy you care more than I think I ever had. My listening skills need work, so do my caring, and interest skills, so I guess I see why you deserve it more than I." She was confused with her new found glee about this boy. He just stood up for what he wanted so well without being rude in any way, he just cared about the things he said and fought for it. "I hope you don't need my help, but if you ever do just ask."

ImageThe wave of jealousy that had almost drained her had completely washed away and the sun had dried her off, but for some reason the brightness she had grown faded and her gaze dropped to the floor. Flicking back to his eyes she opened her mouth to say something, but stopped herself before she did. Should I even ask? Fiddling with her thumbs she began to ask in a small voice, "You can take away painful memories, do you think you could take mine?" It was in all ways was absolutely a dumb idea to ask so, especially letting one know she had a bad memory that was horrible enough that she wanted to rid. She could still remember her husband hanging by the thick brown rope, the aghast shock that it had brought her way, the loneliness that followed.

A tear ran down her left cheek, another tear in front of another stranger. She attended to laugh it all off as she rubbed her cheek, "Um, Alton and I are having coffee inside, you're welcome to join us." Turning her back to him was the only move she made as more silent tears swam down her face. She had never cried in front of so many people in her life, something she didn't enjoy and would probably never grow a liking to. She felt weaker than usual; the wine knockoff had worn off and her past was saddening her, she felt greatly stressed.

Zeus nibbled on his bottom lip, listening to everything she had to say. Grey... what an interesting thing to name a girl, though, he kind of liked the name. She was studying to be a psychologist and she couldn't even take that part which was weird. With his experience he had expected that maybe he should have been somewhere else, but nope he ended up taking her place. Did she feel bad? Maybe she needed to recheck her major because right now he was both confused and happy at the same time. Was that even possible? He wasn't sure, but the confusion and happiness was soon replaced when Grey had asked a question about his job. "You can take away painful memories, do you think you could take mine?" He nibbled on his bottom lip suddenly remembering what the Benefactor had said to him. "However, in exchange you must peer into the memories of his patients and erase a happy and equivalent memory." Seeing the tears made his heart ache for this... girl. Simply a girl, not a woman just yet. Right? It didn't matter right now considering she was... crying? Yes she was crying, but what about? "Hey, hey, don't cry." He told her gently, surprised at how kind he sounded. "Look if you want me to help you I will, but not without your permission. Plus If I were to take a painful memory away I would have to take an equivalent memory away from you." He told her softly before uncrossing his arms and reaching a hand out to gently touch her shoulder.

Clearing his throat he continued to nibble on his bottom lip. "Um, Alton and I are having coffee inside, you're welcome to join us." Taking his hand away he waved it in the air in a dismissive way. This might be a great opportunity to try and help people. To work his job out. "Do you want to talk about something? You know get something off your chest? I don't have to use my new given power we can just talk. I'm sure um... Alton would understand." He shifted uneasily onto each of his feet every minute or so. You could tell that he might be nervous. Zeus hesitated, thinking momentarily about what to do. He couldn't just stand here could he? Could he really just let things go unresolved and not help her? That wasn't his job, he could at least try, and if she thought she needed to get something off her shoulders then he was here to do his job. He didn't really plan on sticking around, but if that is what it took to make her feel better than that is what he would do. It was his job, and to be honest he was kind of eager to start his new job. It couldn't be that hard could it? He highly doubt it, but was ready for anything. It kind of felt like his legs would collapse beneath him, though, he hadn't planned on moving until he had got a solid answer. Not just a, "I should be fine." or a, "Don't worry about it." This is all because from experiences with his sister's he knows that those sentences pretty much meant that she wasn't going to be fine and that she is hesitant on telling him anything.

Grey Amor Scott


Image"Do you want to talk about something? You know get something off your chest? I don't have to use my new given power we can just talk. I'm sure um... Alton would understand." She could have laughed at the thought of sharing with him, this still unnamed man. And then it was like she ran face first into a brick wall. For years she'd been seeing a psychologist, well more of sitting in a room silently staring at the ground, for a few years about her paranoia, depression, and schizophrenia. The psychologist was still nameless to her, Grey was pretty sure she was a woman but never had time to really pay attention. This fact was so unwanted she could scream, she couldn't change what she just realized though. She couldn't just go sit down for a few hours then walk out of the office that she dreaded so much, oh no, not this time. The man behind her was now her new silent sitting buddy she'd probably go to three times a week, and she couldn't forget that one small detail.... they lived in the same building.

With a slight pivot of her body her right shoulder was now to him, her head followed the straight point with a lazy roll, staring at him with a strange tension growing of confusion, why was there so much confusion? "I'm not one to open up, but before I was brought I took.... consoling...." Talking about this was odd, standing here was odd, but the distance uncaring look that she had was not. She was normal Grey. Like her name she was just dull and bland from time to time for a big sum of it. Avoiding the world was a favorite of hers, something she needed to work on.

ImageLetting her body completely face him she took a moment and just stood there blankly without a care in the world, but then the care returned and she rooms step towards him once again. Her bipolar tendencies was another issue, small but there, it wasn't a big concern at this time for her. Her problems were her problems, she never disguised them, they still lingered anyways. Small pebbles of hope filled her imaginary river that if she never shared how she felt that it'd all just go away, each time she didn't share she'd gain a pebble and every time she did she'd get water; the river was completely dry and was stoned over. "I care a lot about my problems, I never share, never," that one word could not be stressed any rougher from the fragile girl. She hated how everything in her life had been screwed up and that what had happened would get her locked up probably for life. "I care a lot about my problems, more than I should, like everyone else in this messed up world. I cry, stress over, break down because of it... I don't share it with anyone though. That's why I'm pleased with the new job I was given. I can help the people like me... Maybe if I begin to trust you more I'll open up, but until then I'll still need you to prescribe me medication that I'll need...."

Telling that much was more than usual, but today was full of newness. It kind of felt good though and she would think about the memory removal, she knew what the price would be though, her wedding day. The memory would be hard to part with, still most likely worth it. "And my memory"pause"I would really like it gone." Loving the day she was married was the best thing in her life besides the day she meet George, forgetting his death was worth losing it, at least to her. She could forget the beautiful white dress, the big smile, the kiss that slide the deal, all could just leave her mind of she could forget finding him dead. Filling a new burst of emotions overwhelm her she leaned forward, accidentally laying her head to his shoulder but was to stricken to move from the place. "Sorry." Saying so softly she tried her best to quiet the random gasps of air she needed. "I just wish I could forget everything that's happened lately... everything."

Zeus looked her over as soon as her body turned towards his. "I'm not one to open up, but before I was brought I took.... consoling...." She had said right after rolling her eyes at him. It wasn't like he had been trying to be rude or anything. He understood, unlike him she actually went to talk to someone about whatever it was that was bothering her. Nibbling on his lip he listened to everything she had to say. How she mentioned that she always care too much although she never ever shared. Fabulous,He thought after hearing about that. He assumed that most likely she was going to be difficult and maybe even hard to work with. To get her to open up to him would as well be pretty difficult. At least this was his opinion do to the fact that she had mentioned how she really never shared anything with anyone. When she did mention how if she got to know him better than maybe she would open up to him. Well... that was a little more reassuring. "And my memory," She momentarily paused, "I would really like it gone." Nodding he hesitated, thinking, and trying to remember if he could actually do this or not. If he actually even knew how to use this newly found power. He was gently balling his hand in and out of a fist as he watched her, thinking for a little while as he decided if it would be a good idea or not to take the memories away from her. Could he really be responsible for taking a terrible memory away? Yes it was for the better, but could he really deal with being the cause of taking one of her best memories away? That was the question he kept replaying in his head.

ImageHe wasn't sure if he was prepared to do this for her. He knew she wanted it, but was she really ready to get rid of one of her greatest memories? When closing his eyes for just a split second as he was about to peer into her memories he felt her lay her head on his shoulder. His eyes shot open, his hands got sweaty, and his muscles tensed. Her head was on his shoulder? Why? He wasn't sure he could handle this. He didn't like her head there. He wanted to push her away and tell her no that he didn't want to be close to her. That he was terrified of being this close to her. Females... one of his biggest fears and he was talking to one. Not so hard right? He was facing his fears even just by talking to her, but her laying her head on his shoulder. No, just no. He chewed on his bottom lip, nervously. Letting out a long soft breath he didn't say anything and just let her lay her head on his shoulder. Okay Zeus, just relax, relax just let her keep her head there if she wants to. Oh god don't freak out. He thought before swallowing hard. "Don't worry about it. Your fine," He told her gently. In a slightly awkward way he put a hand on her back and rubbing circles on her back for a little while before moving his hand back to his side, unsure of what to do. "I bet you do, but I can't do that. That would be too difficult and probably not good for you." He pointed out and began to inwardly debate if now was a good time to take those memories away or not.


He hesitated, finally coming to the conclusion that he should just make double sure that this is what she wants because he is sure that she won't ever be able to get the memories back as much as she may want them back. The effects of this were unknown to him and he would have to continue to test out his powers no matter how bad or good it made him feel that he was helping/ possibly hurting others emotionally. A random idea popped into his head as he remembered how he forgot to mention his name to Grey. "I forgot to mention that my name is Zeus." He mentioned softly to her. Such a strong name. A name of a god, a very strong, powerful god at that. In fiction stories you hear all these amazing things about a male god name Zeus, but here the actual human Zeus is seen as this fragile man. Not a god, not powerful and strong just... a man. A wimpy man who could barely stand up to a woman. Sighing softly at the thought he went back to paying more attention to Grey instead of everything else that was rushing through his head. "Now are you sure you wants these memories gone? You do know once they are gone you can never get them back, right?" He asked her, preparing himself to peer into her memories and take the memories of her happiest and her saddest moments. Raising any eyebrow he cleared his throat and swallowed a couple times as he tried to get rid of how dry his throat was because of the fact that she had laid her head on his shoulder. He waited for her response, and hope she wouldn't get mad for him just making sure that this was what she wanted. It was a pretty big deal and if this wasn't what she really wanted then he wouldn't do it until she was positive.

Grey Amor Scott


ImageShe was slightly shaking, medication time. Knowing so she processed the thought to back away, but before she could a hand was rubbing against her back. Froze. When his touch she was stricken with the thought that someone might care for her problems, Impossible. No one had showed Grey they truly had any emotion towards her in the largest; this was no different. From each of the rounds his hand made she could feel the hesitation from him, the cringe that he didn't want to do it. Drop. His hand was away allowing her to stretch back up with a light pop of her back. Stiffness radiated from him, "You don't seem very comfortable touching people." Commenting calmly she pursed her lips together as she saw his jaw moving figuring it was now his time to speak. "I bet you do, but I can't do that. That would be too difficult and probably not good for you." She assumed so, the idea of erasing a two memories for the price of one seemed complicated.

Feeling not content with her way of living made her nod, a nod to seal the deal that she never wishes to reopen. Knowing she'd never come across that painful day was news to her, so good it almost felt like a lie. "If you were to erase the memory then what? Wouldn't I still remember the pain that followed the memory? There would be a giant hole from happiness to depression, what would I think then?" Maybe it was to good to be true, at least her therapist had said so once before. That memories haunt and stay around forever and always, even when suppressed they manage to linger and show themselves in some form of way. "Won't I remember my engagement? And then suddenly, poof! No more husband, no marriage, just sadness. Wouldn't I just fell in the pieces and in the end make myself remember again?" Her wedding was worth forgetting if she also forgot the death, but there were still to many 'what if' questions she had.

Biting her lower lip she started nibbling and then bleeding lightly, a taste of silver rushed her mouth. She was now done crying, the water drops were gone along with the puffy sign of weakness. "I'll take the chance." Holding her head up high she smiled, relief flushed her face hoping that the idea would work and she would no longer feel so grey. "I'm completely and utterly done with all of the emotional roll coasters I've been having for a while... not that you care though."

"I forgot to mention that my name is Zeus."Taking a step back she looked over him again like she had done before. His name suited his appearance she thought, a name of power, but all names had a sense of power. Knowing someone's name was almost like having a piece of them, Grey had told hers too to many people today, but they most likely would have found it out sooner or later. She wouldn't have minded to give her name to this man freely at least, he was turning out to be a big help. Smiling at him she held out her hand to him like she'd done to a few others. "It's lovely to meet you, Zeus, now please just take away my memories." Her mind had been locked, she was ready to forget the dead hanging body she had discovered, so very ready.

"You don't seem very comfortable touching people." Grey had pointed out to Zeus. Like he didn't know. He had his reasons and if she knew the stress he has been through throughout the years then she would understand, but she didn't. "I have my reasons," He mumbled in response to what she had to say. "If you were to erase the memory then what? Wouldn't I still remember the pain that followed the memory? There would be a giant hole from happiness to depression, what would I think then?" Highly unlikely, from what he understood once the memory was gone so was every trace. It was a memory and if it wasn't there then what do you have to be depressed, angered, or even happy. "Won't I remember my engagement? And then suddenly, poof! No more husband, no marriage, just sadness. Wouldn't I just fell in the pieces and in the end make myself remember again?" She had made a good point, but he had his point. If you remove a terrible memory then wouldn't it be easier just to move on. It would be a confusing thing, but with time he was sure she could just move on and forget. With this would come his help of course. He would talk her through this, discuss her engagement if he had to and even discussing anything with her. That was the job of the therapist he had to talk to her about things with people. He had to make them feel good about themselves, and to help them heal.

Image
Noticing her bleeding lip as she nibbled on it he assumed that she was nervous perhaps having second thoughts. When she finally told him that she was going to take the chance he nodded in agreement. He wanted to just stall time, and to keep himself from having to see these memories. Would he cry? Would he feel angry for her? Maybe even a little too close to her for seeing such memories, for knowing these facts about her? Possibly even feeling regretful for taking such memories away from her. Didn't she need them? Wasn't it something that she needed to heal? It shouldn't matter he repeated over and over to himself. It was his job to help people heal. To help people move on so that is what he was going to do. He was going to help her move on. When she didn't change her mind about taking them memories away and even trying to push him to take them from her he finally decided to do it. All he had to do was to just get it over with.

Zeus thought for a second, deciding on first how he was supposed to do this and if he had to recite any passage or anything. Once he had remembered exactly what he was supposed to do he smiled at her gently. A kind smile at that right before gently putting a slightly hesitant and nervous hand on Grey's arm. It took him a moment to get used to the fact that he had a power, but before he knew it he was peering into her memories. He peered further, and tried to avoid a couple memories that popped out at him. It took him a moment though he quickly discovered which memories that he was supposed to take from her. He hesitated only a split second before using his powers to remove the horrible and gruesome memory of her husband's death. Once again he peered into her memories, finally taking her happiest memory away from her. He couldn't help but to feel a pang of sadness within him when he took her happiest memory away from her. Finally after taking the two memories away from her he pulled his hand back, blinking a couple times before looking her over. Snapping his fingers in front of her face he began to nibble gently on his bottom lip. "Grey," He paused and thought of what to say. "Are you okay? How do you feel?" He questioned her because now he was hoping he did this right. Little did he know that it worked, that she would be fine all because he hadn't taken to many memories away from her. He just was trying to get use to this so he let her stand there for a moment, and waited to hear what she had to say. "Would you like to talk about anything?" He asked gently and actually for once played the therapist role. It was his job, and he wasn't going to let some simple power and the removal of those two memories from her get in his way.

Grey Amor Scott


ImageBeing touched again released a small tremble and great intake of air from the shut eyed Grey. She didn't want to forget her wedding, not really, but she knew soon if would be gone, all of that happy moment along with the worst.

She could feel the fear hit her when she just discovered him, the way she rushed to cut him down, his dead body hit the floor without him flenching from pain or anything. She had fallen to her knees and sobbed knowing he was dead. And then it seemed like the memory was playing backwards. She was standing up, walking back up the stairs to the living with a small amount of confusion, then there was nothing to remember at all from that. The pain had been lifted, but she couldn't remember what pain, what had happened? There was a gap, was it small or big? It didn't matter though. Grey felt like she had been dunked under water and once raising there was something missing, but at least she had sweet fresh air to breath.

Next was the unraveling of her wedding day. In her heels she had been at the alter with a vail drapes lightly over her face making everything a white haze, but still her husband was seen brightly and handsomely in front of her with a large smile, perfectly. The preacher behind them spoke words that her husband was instructed to say, with each passing word years of joy dripped from her porcelain face. "Now..." The man was now speaking to her, his words were faded from her as she said what she felt deep down in her heart towards the man she had loved for so long. And then a kiss. A party. A honeymoon. Then nothing. Nothing. What had she been thinking of? What had been crossing her mind for the last few minutes, what was it again?

Image"Grey?" Hearing her name she allowed her eyes to creep open. The light that rushed towards her irises made her feel lightheaded and stumble, grabbed the thing nearest to her to cling to, Zeus. "Sorry..." Squinting her eyes from the turning of the room she tried to reset herself up right. When standing away from him she wobbled a few times before being enough stable to let her clenching fist leave him. When she finally was ready she let her hands run through her hair to get it from her hair. "Are you okay? How do you feel?" Bewildered was written all over her face. What was suppose to be wrong with her? "I feel perfectly fine..." Glancing around the room she felt lost, this wasn't her home, her job, right? "Would you like to talk about anything?" "Is there something I should be talking about?" Even though she was confused she smiled and giggled at him, there wasn't wrong with her. She was happy and felt amazing, absolutely great, but hungry. "Um, is there anything you'd like to talk about though? I'm pretty hungry and you can come with me." Without waiting for an answer she snatched his hand, "You will, won't you?" With a bright face it was obvious something had changed dramatically about the young woman. She carried a soft glow with her nearly discovered genuine smile and the lights that blossomed in her eyes. It was like nothing bad had ever happened.

Zeus, after taking her memories away and she kind of leaned over onto him helped Grey stay on her feet instead of allowing her to collapse to the ground. He held her up until she regained her footing, and smiled gently at her. After asking her is she felt alright and a couple questions he was happy to hear her answer. She didn't remember what had happened to her husband, and her wedding. Great, he was happy to hear that he had helped her out and was satisfied to notice that she seemed to be much... happier than before her memories were taken away. "Um, is there anything you'd like to talk about though? I'm pretty hungry and you can come with me." Without waiting for an answer she had snatched his hand, "You will, won't you?" Zeus hesitated, unsure of how to answer. No, he didn't really want to go get something to eat with her for reasons he wasn't sure about himself. Running a slightly nervous hand through his hair he sighed softly to himself before nodding to her. He made sure not to make it obvious that he wasn't exactly sure if he wanted to go with her to get something to eat. A soft smile continued to be plastered on his face, skillfully did he hide his uncertainty.

Standing here was getting them no where so he finally in haled and exhaled softly before gently holding her hand and squeezing it gently before releasing it and dropping his hands to his sides. "Shall we?" He questioned her with a slight quirk of his eyebrow. He thought momentarily, was it time for dinner, or were they even all supposed to go together to the lunch room? These were questions that ran through his head, but he guessed that they could just go as they pleased when they were hungry. He hadn't recalled any sense that they couldn't eat when they felt necessary instead of having to wait until lunch/ dinner was called or served. Plus even if they weren't able to eat a full lunch a small snack before lunch or dinner is even served. He rubbed his hands together, looking at her with a smile before he began to walk down the girl's hallway towards the stairs. Stupid Elevator, he thought on his way to the stairs. With Grey following close to him he began to mentally debate conversation starters.

"What do you think of this place so far? He asked softly as he lead the way, hoping he was going the right way even if he wasn't positive. "I mean this is all a crazy concept, but I think it's pretty cool. Anyways, a random conversation starter, but what do you think of your new job here. Do you like it, or is there possibly something else that you had in mind?" What is this? 20 questions, idiot. He thought inwardly, but quickly pushed the thought. She wouldn't mind a couple questions, right? Plus they were just conversation starters. Something to get them talking instead of just walking around while trying to find this cafeteria, and admiring the um... walls, paintings, windows, and possibly the outside if they really tried to look outside. Shrugging he turned most of his attention towards Grey, awaiting her response to his many questions, though, he did make sure to look for her and where he was walking every now and then so that he didn't accidentally run into a wall or possibly even miss a step.
