WHO: Alec Deeks & Avery Rollins WHAT: Avery locks herself out of her apartment. Alec to the rescue! WHEN: Thursday, mid morning WHERE: Outside Avery's apartment RATING: TBD - like PG-13 for cursing. STATUS: In Progress
Today had been going... not so great. As was sort of typical for Avery at this point, she had gotten up very early and headed down to the diner to get something to eat. She couldn't cook worth anything and it was easier to get some food from the people at the Diner than it was to try and make something herself, and she could only have oatmeal so many times before she wanted to puke. Toda she'd had pancakes and it was pretty glorious, but there had been a lot more people in the diner than usual and the whole experience - minus the actual eating part - had been pretty stressful.
On the way back she'd been stopped by two guards. One was nice enough and just checked to see her ID but the other one was... Well, if Empathy was definitely real (which she was at least 98% sure of at this point) and she definitely had it (which she was around 94% sure of) than he was up to something bad. His mood was awful, and made her feel awful and he heckled her all the way back to her apartment. She had no idea why he would even do that, but her stress levels and fear were already quite high as she walked towards her door, and went to open it.
It was locked, of course, and she started to dig through her pockets to find the keys... but she couldn't find them. The panic began to set in when she tried the door again, and again, and kept searching her pockets for the keys. Did that guard steal them off her somehow? Not all the guards were normal humans, some were like her. Maybe he did, and he was going to come back for her? What if she locked herself out and they thought she was too incompetent to have her own place and forced her to live with someone - or worse, sent her back to Riken? What if they wouldn't replace her keys if she really did lose them?
The thoughts whirled in her head as she took off her jacket despite the cold and started shaking it around, trying to will the damn keys into one of her pockets.
