George Thorogood was playing tinnily on the shitty jukebox, blaring almost too loud to be coherent. It was giving Lily a headache, but then again, that could have been from all the whiskey. She didn't even like whiskey, but when you went to a honky-tonk bar with a loud jukebox playing terrible music, that was what you used to drown your sorrows. She wasn't entirely sure what she was trying to drown away, though. Finn was leaving, sure, but he was only going for a few months. He'd come back eventually. And Rez wasn't really gone gone, he was just with his new happy family and all his new babies and shit. And Lily didn't even have Lyle to fall back on because he had gone home to deal with his dad's death. Just another something to drink about.

There were seven shotglasses sitting at her table, and the waitress brought over another for her with a wary smile on her face. Lily nodded, tossed it back, and swallowed grimly. Her stomach had been empty to begin with, so already she could feel the heavy effects of the alcohol. The room suddenly spun on her, and she grabbed the table to stay upright, then rested her forehead onto it. This wouldn't be the first time she'd passed out in a bar, and it wouldn't be the last.

( She didn't look like she wanted company, but it didn't hurt to ask. )

Living with Finn was hard and easy at the same time. He was good at making Lily feel better, at making her smile, but it always felt so temporary. Her smiles were laced with sadness because when she looked at him, she remembered Rez. She remembered how they were close, how every story had two sides and both these men had lost their best friend because they were both hurt, and they were both wrong. She felt sad because she had lost her best friend too. It was hard to stay there, but she couldn't imagine not having Finn around right now. He kept her safe from herself.

But she didn't want to put everything on Finn. There was only so much he could take, and she knew that she was a lot to handle. Especially today, when he was shifting tonight for the very first time, and he was already on edge, and Lily's uncontrolled empathic abilities were depressing them both, and her succubus abilities made her want to throw Finn against a wall and violate him, which was very misleading to the poor guy. Even if he was just a friend, and only saw her that way, it had to be damaging to them right now. So she wanted to find someone else to talk to. Nox was always busy, and besides that he didn't seem to be around too much lately. But she needed someone. So, she went to an old friend who wouldn't recognize her, and wouldn't know her, and was probably going to dismiss her as soon as he could, but she had to try.

Of course, seeing him meant having to call a cab into the city, and then sneaking in the back door while a couple handsome women in makeup and wig caps were out having cigarettes. Lily remembered this place when it was packed with people, and Feather had been on stage and looking... well, like a drag queen, but completely happy. Navigating her way throught the backstage, Lily discovered the dressing room, filled with costumes and sequins and feathers and lace and leather and chiffon and every glorious combination of them one could hope to find. Crawling beneath a costume rack, Lily curled up and drew her knees to her chest, resting her chin on her knees and waited. Or hid. She wasn't sure which.

It hadn't been a real good day on Thursday, and Lily had been asleep on the couch by the time Finn got home from work. Truth be told, she couldn't handle being awake anymore, so she's laid down and gone to sleep to escape from it all. Even though she had closure now, and had gotten to say goodbye, it didn't make her feel any better. But waking up the next morning, even though she felt as dead as she had the night before, she had a sense of hope, almost. Rez was going to be okay. He could finally move on now, and maybe be happy with his girl friend and their kids. Maybe things would turn out okay for him.

She had a sense of hope for herself as well, though to a much lesser extent. One thing was certain, though; she didn't want to attach herself to Finn like some kind of heartbroken leech. He had been good to her, so he deserved her honesty and her respect. So after waking up early, Lily decided to have a talk with him. But first, she was going to make him breakfast. She was used to Rez before the full, so she knew exactly what he was going to want. After half an hour of locating things (like pots, pans and supplies), the kitchen smelled of bacon, eggs, sausage and steak. And Lily hadn't burned anything down yet, though it was a little smokey and the battery in the fire alarm had long since been taken out, and every window opened.

Who: Rez and Lily
When: Afternoon
Where: The rec center
What: A bad idea, probably
Rated: TBD

It was dumb to feel nervous, Rez knew that, but he did anyway. They had both gone out of their way to avoid one another since the break up, not that that was difficult with how busy Rez was, and this would be the first time they saw one another since then. So he was nervous, or at the very least anxious, and he also felt slightly guilty though had more to do with living River at home not feeling well with Trevor watching over her and the kids. But he needed to do this. He would never move on until they confronted one another face to face and even though he wasn't really looking to move on just yet, maybe, with all things considered, it would be for the best.

He'd put the kids down for their post-lunch nap and left Trevor on the couch watching tv with the baby monitor nearby to listen out for them. He'd taken a quick shower and shaved, wanting to look presentable, not that it mattered, before he'd headed out, driving to campus, which still seemed in a slight state of chaos, and heading to the rec center. It was shortly before three when he arrived, so he just took a seat, but the nervous energy was making it difficult for him to just sit still, his stomach doing flip flops as he practically bounced in place and repeatedly checked the door and his watch.

Who: Finn and Lily
What: The most depressing seduction ever

Rating: Most likely NSFW (but who knows)


Lily had been thinking a lot lately, and she had come to the decision that she needed to make a more affirmative action on getting over Rez. Sitting in Finn's bathroom and crying her eyes out every night wasn't going to make her feel any better. Despite what that sad little voice in the back of her head told her, things weren't going to change. Rez was never going to change his mind about those kids, and Lily was never going to be able to handle kids. This was her fate now. And Finn was sweet, and he took care of her, and he had never once tried to make a move on her while she was vulnerable. Maybe she could be happy with him.

Sitting on his kitchen table, Lily was waiting for him to come home, her nails tapping nervously on the tabletop. Her hair was down, her legs were shaved, and all she had on was one of Finn's dress shirts and a pair of heels. Maybe this wasn't perfect, but it was something at least. Maybe it could be good for them both. When the dorknob finally turned, her heart leapt into her throat, but she kept herself composed. If there was one thing Lily could make herself do, it was be sexy even when she was unsure of it. "Hey," she said softly, one leg crossed over the other. "How was work?"

Finn and his lady friend were coming over, and it was a little exciting. Garret hadn't bothered to tell Mal about the evening, because he had a hunch (which wasn't a hunch so much as it was Finn telling him) that Mal didn't like Finn. But Finn needed socializing, and his girl person probably needed to get out and see other people, so they were coming over for food and drink and talking, and maybe some drunken board games. Who knew? The night was young!

After Rez had gone, Lily had sat on her bed and stared into nothingness for a long, long time. She felt dead inside. It was like losing James all over again, only much harder because Rez was actually a good person and she couldn't remember loving anyone as much as she loved him. She thought about everything they had done together, she thought about how their lives could have gone. She thought about how children ruined everything, and how she and Rez had been happy just last week and now they were both miserable. They deserved to be happy. Why did everything always have to get ruined?

She didn't want to be in her own room anymore. Just seeing it made her think about why she was here, how she had gotten here, and that now she didn't have Rez anymore. It was too much. She was going to kill herself if she had to keep thinking, and she couldn't do that to Rez. He had enough to worry about. So she packed up a backpack and decided to go to the one friend she had that wouldn't force her to talk about anything and wouldn't make her think about babies- Finn. Poor Finn was being so abused by her today, but she didn't have anyone else to go to. Part of her wanted to go to Lyle, but how could she explain it?

After knocking twice, and seeing that Finn wasn't home, Lily thought about just climbing the water tower and throwing herself off of it. But that was so far away, and it was cold outside, so instead she picked the lock and broke into Finn's place, walking through the dark and going right to the bedroom, flopping onto the bed and curling up in a ball.

Who: Rez and Lily
When: Night
Where: Lily's dorm
What: Conversation

Trevor and Charlie had agreed to stay at the apartment for a bit while Rez went to TJS to talk to Lily. Ethan and Chloe were sound asleep already so he was sure they could handle it though they both had his number on speed dial just in case. He was still anxious about this, more than a little, even after talking to Lyle who was as close to an impartial and yet informed adviser as he could possibly get right now. Still, walking to her room was terrifying and his heart was pounding in his chest. Things would go one of two ways when he left here tonight. Either he would be surprised or he would be devastated. He was leaning toward devastated.

It had been days since the last time he and Lily had spoken and so much had gone down in that time that it felt like it had been longer than that. He cleared his throat and ran his fingers through his hair before reaching up to knock on the door, waiting for a moment before he spoke, because he knew she was in there. "Hey, baby. It's me. Can I come in?" He tried to push away the nagging thought that this could be the very last time he'd ever come to this dorm like this.

Lily was in bad shape, and it was obvious. She hadn't bothered showering or eating or changing her clothes since she and Rez had talked. There seemed to be no point. The thought of them breaking up was just looming over her head like the Sword of Damocles. Rez wanted kids. Lily was going to be thirty this year, and she had known for the entirety of her life, even the part as a boy, that she didn't want kids. She had seen kids, and the damage they had done to peoples' lives, and how they ruined things forever. She and Rez were happy, why did that have to change? And maybe they weren't going to talk about it now, but they were both thinking about it. The inevitable. Rez wasn't going to change his mind about having a kid, and Lily wasn't going to change hers, and sooner or later they couldn't avoid it anymore.

She needed an escape. Chain-smoking wasn't helping her to relax, and all it was doing was clouding up her room. Her hair was dark black and long, stringy and hanging in her face. She looked thin, dangerously so, and her bright eyes were sunken and hollow. Simply put, she looked miserable. When the knock came to the door, she didn't even bother rolling over on the bed, let alone get up to answer it. "Augh," she called out, pulling the blanket over her head.

Who: Lily and Nox
What: A reunion with a new face

When: Mid-afternoon
Rating: PG most likely


Since it seemed that she was going to be around here for awhile, it made sense to Lily to try and have some kind of social life that didn't revolve totally around Rez. After all, she had promised Adam that she would try not to steal his uncle's attention all the time, and that was a hard promise to keep when she had nothing else to occupy her time. Plus, as much as she hated to admit it, she had missed Nox. Nox was stable, he was quiet and understanding and put up with an awful lot of shit from her when she'd been a boy. And maybe she loved him, too, but whatever. That wasn't the relevant part.

Wearing one of Rez's tee shirts, one of his sweatshirts, and quite possibly one of his pairs of jeans, Lily looked adorably rumpled as she made her way to Nox's office. Her hair was behaving itself for the moment, staying black, but she was pretty sure that she was chubbier than she had been this morning (hence Rez's clothing). But that might have been "water weight", or hormones, or some other girly curse that completely sucked. It was impossible to know.

She paused at the door, sucking in a deep breath before grabbing the handle and going inside. Maybe Nox would hate the way she looked now. She knew that Fisher looked pretty pathetic, which was probably why he'd gotten away with so much shit, but she didn't know how she looked now. Rez thought she was pretty, but Rez was weird. Maybe to the rest of the world she was one weird looking chick. "H-hey," she said nervously to the man behind the desk, shutting the door quietly behind her. "Um... so yeah. Me."

Since he had pretty much patched things up with Lyle, at least as well as he was going to be able to, Fisher decided it was time for him and James to head back to Vegas. He had entertained the notion of staying in Danvers for about twenty seconds before concluding that... well, no. Just no. It was cold here, and it still felt weird being in a place that he knew he should remember but didn't, having things be familiar and not know why. Plus there were so many people here tied to James' past, and it seemed that as soon as they'd landed in Boston a cloud had hung over the demon's head and Fisher could only assume that leaving would make it go away.

So he had told James that he wanted to go, and they were going to meet up in the education building to head out together. Of course, that meant Fisher needed to find his way around, and that wasn't so easy in this massive, semifamiliar place. A few people said hello to him, none of whom he remembered, and when he did eventually see a familiar face it made him wish he hadn't. Because the last time he had talked to Rez, the guy had sounded kind of insane.

The term 'Body Horror' barely described how Fisher felt right now. With every step back to campus from the Big Gay House, Fisher was all too aware that he had a vagina between his legs, and tits bouncing with each step. He had a waist. He had longer hair, he had BOOBS and if he looked down, he could see them. They were attached to his goddamn body. And he had some dead girl following him, nagging him about having her body and wishing she had a cigarette. Fisher wish he had a cigarette. He barely even noticed that he was cold, that he was only in a sweatshirt and a pair of jeans and canvas sneakers. He was too much in shock.

After debating with security for a few moments (and feeling relieved that they could actually see him), he finally made his way to Rez's room, shutting the door quietly behind him. Rez was still asleep. "Um," he said, grimmacing at his new light, feminine voice. "Rez? You gotta wake up, I um... I need to talk to you..."

Fisher had been almost useless for Rez while he was sick. Sure, he could bring him soup and rub his back and put blankets on him, but because no one could see him, Fisher couldn't get real help. He couldn't do anything. He couldn't even leave the room, because when he did things went kind of black and when he came to later, he was just back in the room. Like he couldn't exist outside the realm of Rez's brain. What if Rez had needed someone right away, what if he had been dying, like really dying? Fisher would have been useless. He couldn't take it any more. There had to be something he could do.

( Don't be such a wuss. I can see you, so you're real enough. )
