Light of May ::: an original roleplay

It had been two days since Janine Matthews woke up with no clear memory of what had brought her to Scarlet Oak. No, she woke with just a sense of comfort and belonging, as though she was right where she was meant to be. On the second day of not having clear memories, she'd had a business name and time written down on her calendar and, assuming she was meant to start work there, dressed for success. What had been intended as an interview became her first day of work, as those at Mickleson and Long, Inc. also assumed she was their new hire. It was quite fortunate, indeed, for Jani, though she likely would have done quite well in the interview, had she had one.

The work was similar enough to what she'd done for years in Denver, so she settled in comfortably that first day. And now she was on her second day of work, organizing the space she had to work in to be far more efficient than her predecessor had it. Being an efficient individual, it was quite frustrating dealing with the disorder, but she knew that within a day or two she would have things organized to her standards.

Although she was unaware of it, the best part of these past few days was the fact that she had not been plagued with thoughts of Benjamin, of what she'd had with him, what they'd wanted, or what had been ripped from them with one sloppy mistake in their affair. The spell that had taken over the town had given her precisely what she'd come to Scarlet Oak for in the first place: a fresh start.

Who: Jesse, Farren and August
Where: Scarlet Oak Community Park
When: Late Afternoon

These walks had become a daily occurrence now. Jesse would get dressed, leave the hotel and wander aimlessly through the town she barely knew. She was getting to know it, no fear of getting lost, and each day she would find something worthy of adding to her mental map. She had not found that yet today, but there was hope. She vaguely recalled having been cooped up in her hotel room for a while, but couldn't remember why. And she certainly did not know what exactly she was doing here, seeing no tangible purpose for having relocated so far from home.

She was fine with it, however. Maybe she had closed her eyes and pointed somewhere on the map and just...gone. It was nice not having to worry about leaving anyone behind. Jesse's time, her life, was her own. Whatever she made of it. It was nice.

Stopping to admire the wind rustling through the trees, Jesse leaned against one, smiling. This autumn was different than that of home, no less beautiful for it. Maybe more, because she wasn't used to it. A new song started on her iPod as the girl closed her eyes, allowing the wind to mess up her hair and ruffle up her skirt. Sometimes, at the very back of her mind, Jesse thought of how she felt almost too weightless, too free. But those thoughts never lasted long. There was so much out there to discover, and Jesse did not want to miss a thing. Although she appeared to be missing how she had gone from singing along to the song in her ears to humming it out loud.
