Re: Arcade: Gwen & Perry
It's kind of weird, but she was pretty sure she could tell where he was moving, even without the circles of light on his body. She could tell he was moving, and she had this kind of inborn understanding of how he moved. The memory wasn't hers, but it kind of was, and she was struck (not for the first time) by how strange it was to know so much about a person she'd never even met until a month ago. But, too, she was super glad at his movement. She thought he needed to get out more, which was another understanding that had no basis in anything like fact, and the empty laser tag maze was a safe place (she thought). She let her own gun rest at her hip, and she leaned her shoulders back against the paint splattered wall. It kind of haloed her.
"He's right. The League is a super old paramilitary cult. They have cells all over the place, but they're originally from Egypt. They had a vested interest in New Jersey, where Jason lived, so he's really familiar with them. They kind of tried to destroy that city, because they thought it needed to be cleansed. A lot people died. When I died, "she didn't catch the slip, "the League knew about me because they'd been watching Jason." It was a lot of quiet explanation, and he was hanging there, smiling, by the time she was done.
Her return smile was super instinctive, and she tucked her foot back against the wall and her sole squeaked as her foot skipped its way back down to the floor. "He thinks I should run away, but they'd find me. That totally won't work, and we need a way to take them down from inside. At the very least, we need a way to force them to let me go. I don't tell them anything at all, but eventually they're going to start understanding how I'm here, and I don't like thinking about what they'll do then." She slid down, and she sat on the glowy carpet, her knees up against her chest. "I'm not currently doing anything. I just go to the lab every morning for more and more invasive medical testing. I don't want to risk losing the freedom I have, so I don't want to do anything that isn't super-well thought out."
