Week one

[letsplayamod]

You've all met Athena, and she's made her point quite clear. She's fully committed to making this world better, and you're the ones who agreed to lend a hand. Something she's obviously quite thankful for.

It's really not so bad around here. Despite the sky, and the state of the land, things are fairly calm. You've got plenty of time to get used to it, and each other. Maybe this'll be easier than it seems.

It was a double date. All night Carrie, our boyfriends, and me… the three of them rode rides while I took pictures for the yearbook. We were supposed to ride it together but I didn’t want to ride in the front so Carrie and Jason took the front while Kevin and I sat in the back. [For a moment she’s back at grad night. The boys were arguing while Carrie rolled her eyes at them. She swallows hard.] Jason was my boyfriend. I—

[She swallowed hard. She imagines he relives that night over and over, too.]

I couldn’t even talk to their families afterwards. Even if no one blamed me for the derailment, I knew I could have done more. [She didn’t think that anymore. She took a long breath.]

I’m sorry, Alex. For both George and Tod. Death… really is cruel. Vicious.

[ Palpable grief. Her boyfriend? God, that must have sucked. Ached. If she had the same thoughts he did. The same horrific dreams, the burning silhouettes, the bodies of those he couldn't save. ]

I'm sorry, too. For Carrie and Jason and...all of it.

[ He lets out a soft breath. ]

Death's not here. According to Athena. But...we're still seeing...things. Something's coming.

[Some part of them never moved on from those terrible nights. Some days she still smells the scent of fried twinkies and popcorn... then motor oil and blood. She practically has to shake herself to continue talking.]

...Thanks, Alex. It's not much but... thanks.

[Right.]

Right... something is going to happen. Maybe not tomorrow but soon. It's... not good.

[rockymountaindie]

...All we can do is be prepared for anything.

[ Oh, just that, huh? ]

Trust our instincts and...and if you see anything else, find me.

[ It's a stark contrast to his quiet plea for her to stay away if she sees signs of Death. But if Death really isn't here, isn't haunting their footsteps... Two heads really are better than one. ]
