The wind was embracing the trees in Newland City, making them dance and live. Behind her, she could hear someone hop on their banshee and drive off, someone talking about their trip to the Temple of three winds, someone talking to Brb.. She heard all this and even more, but she just did not care. Not now.
Facing the whompa, She looked up at the sign.
”ICC...” She sighed, closed her eyes and stepped in.
WHOOMPAH!
Opening her eyes again, she glances around. The beautiful ICC statue standing tall right in the middle of the great building, Clans, Omnis, Neutrals, people running around, hurrying from place to another.
”Such a beautiful place... But still, no one stops to even look around, just to see how mighty this is.. Why does no one respect it?”
She starts walking towards the sunrise station. Stepping in from the door, a familiar scent of plastic and metal reach her. The building still has that new scent, even thou it had been there for sometime already. Again, she starts to walk towards the apartment doors on her left. While walking, she picks up a small keycard from the left chestpocket, and reads the keycode on the reader on one of the apartment doors.
”Anyone home?” She shouts while walking to the kitchen, and leaving her keycard and visor on the kitchen table.
”Up here! Now tell me, why are there boxes up here?” She sees Gun glance down from the second floor bedroom and grins slightly. She takes a bottle of ice cold water from the fridge and walks upstairs.
”I'm moving in here, i'll keep the Old Athens block as a storage space, and just in case i need to find a hiding place. And ofcourse if i'm no longer welcome here...” She smiles, opens the bottle and walks up to the boxes. ”There was craploads of stuff i needed to get rid of. Like the photos from the place with text on the walls? Ya sure ya dont know the person who wrote it? Cause they sure seemed to know a lot of me, and maybe even more...” She takes a long swig off the bottle and glances at Gun shaking his head.
”Alright. Looks like i'm gonna have to be happy with that answer then.” She smiles and jumps on the bed, puts the bottle on the floor, and grabs some old holodiscs from one of the boxes. While going through them, she rolls on her back and grins slightly.
”Ya know.. I was thinking of travelling offworld for a bit.. But there's one thing.” She throws the holodiscs back to the box one at a time.
”I'd want some PathFinders with me. Or.. Rather, if it was possible to PF's take me with them.” She chuckles and looks at Gun. ”Ofcourse, i can wait with it, but i wasnt able to join ya guys last time, cause of the.. Let's just leave it at that.”
She throws another holodisc to the box full of books, old photos and holodiscs and grabs the bottle from the floor.
”There's only few things i need to save thou.. Like this book, a few of these.. and those two boxes, which are full of gear and clothes and weapons and so on..”
Taking a sip of water, she looks at the boxes.
”I'm gonna save nothing that has something to do with my past. Absolutely nothing. From now on, i'm just gonna live and i wont care about what other people tell me. Past is past, this moment is the one that counts.” She looks at the bottle she is holding and nods.
”Yeah, that's what i'm gonna do!”
She looks at Gun, tilts her head to the side and says something that does not really fit into her mouth.
”Um, Hun, wanna fetch me another bottle of water, i'm gonna start going through these boxes.”
