Current mood:

worried

Who: Roger Smith + Cameron.
When: Monday Morning.
Where: Underground.
What: Roger faces one of his biggest fears - The New York Subway.
Rating/status: TBD

The first time Roger had come face to face with the subway, he had been weakened by blood loss and he had been beyond relief when the whole thing had proved to be a trick of his mind. Who could blame him? As long as he could remember, the underground tunnels had been empty, many citizens too afraid to go down and learn what lurked in the darkness. Roger had used this to his advantage, transporting Big O to wherever he needed it through the many tracks crossing the city. Of course, there had been parts not even Roger had dared to explore unless he really had to...

And even then, the areas he explored had been never been like this. People went by, some talking, some engrossed in their newspapers, all of them waiting for the large metal monster to arrive so they could ride it to their many destinations. Roger had recently acquired a map of the subway routes, spending time at his room learning it - ot rather, remembering most of it. This place was so similar to Paradigm City that it both fascinated and worried him. After a lot of thinking he had decided he couldn't just stay away. He had feared it once and was determined not to let it get the best of him again.

Easier said than done.

Roger heard it approach, its loud arrival drowning the voices of the people around him. Has it been this loud that time? Yes, but at least he didn't jump back in fear now. When it stopped and opened its doors, peiople rushed by to get inside. All of them except for Roger, who found himself staring at the doors, wondering if this was a good idea after all.
