She looked tired... In fact, she apparently looked half dead. That thought still brought a half smile to her face. "Hey, guys," she said with a little wave. "I just came to say good-bye."

"What?" Rebecca blinks and frowns, then frowns some more because that made no sense. Also, her friend looked like crap. "Why? What happened?"

A large portal opening up behind Piper. "Yeaaaaaah. The only place you are going is in here to sit down for a bit. You look like hell rolled over."

She hadn't gotten any sleep since the incident with Jim, and how long had that been? Too many days. She just needed some time to wrap up everything. Piper even spared a glance towards the portal, giving a shake of her head. "No tricks, man. I'm too tired to fight." And that was true. She wandered into their pod, oblivious to the snow on her clothes. She usually knew better than that. Back to Top   Rebecca Jefferson Legend Defense Will it be you this time?

Rebecca responds by fetching more towels! She tosses one to Eric and nods at the chocolate-stained sofa and hands another to Piper so she can clear off the snow. "You want anything? Something warm?" She gestures to one of the chairs or non-stained sofa, whichever Piper felt like sitting on. There was definitely something up.

"Guys," she said, trying to sound serious. "I'm okay. I'm just... going back to Australia for a little while." She took the towel, draping it around her shoulders and sitting on the couch. She didn't mind if either of them sat next to her... In fact, a part of her really wanted one of them to. "Jim's dead. We don't know for how long, but... he's dead." It felt so good to say it.

"That's great, Piper." She smiles for her friend's sake. "But why go back to Australia?" Was it to stop running away, like they'd spoken about? She didn't want to go into the details with Eric there, however. She didn't know how much was okay to share, or if they had talked much.

Man she must be going through something rough to make that kind of a mistake. Back to Top   Eric Sarah White Mentor Defense When Autumn Came...

The tired girl tried laughing, but it almost sounded like a cough. She shook her head. "Not Jim," she said softly to him, before glancing back to Becca. "I'm just... tying up loose ends. You guys all made me realize something... but I can't... really be home, unless everything back there is settled. I'm tired of the confusion, the back and forth. I want to be done with this, once and for all. And then I can come home again." She would reach out without really thinking, trying to place a gentle hand upon Rebecca's. It was a friendly gesture, one of gratitude. Back to Top   Rebecca Jefferson Legend Defense Will it be you this time?

Rebecca frowns but lets the hand rest on top of hers when it happens, squeezing it with her thumb. After a moment, her expression relaxes. She dones't really know all that much about Jim because Piper hasn't talked about him much to her at all. But she knows enough to put a name to the mystery person in her friend's life who caused her so much pain. "Well, that sounds like it's a good thing. You sure you'll be okay?" « Last Edit: Dec 7, 2015 23:40:49 GMT -6 by Rebecca Jefferson » Back to Top   Eric Phillips Hero Intelligence A man of many hats [send pm] Joined: October 2015 Posts: 5,490 First Snow (Open) « Dec 7, 2015 23:51:19 GMT -6 via the ProBoards App » Quote Select Post Deselect Post Link to Post Member Give Gift Back to Top He frowns but doesn't say anything. He wasn't one to talk about what was possible when it came to Meta Powers. And he wasn't going to just throw advice at her unasked. "Just take care of yourself."

Piper had quickly become one of the people Rebecca considered a close friend. "Yeah, thanks for telling us." She nods, but still worries. Still, loose ends don't require mother hens. "When were you planning to head out?"

She offered Eric a half-smile. In part, she thought to tell him because he lived with Becca. In part, because he was somebody that did really help to wake her up. "And you might have to come up with a new nickname for me, Captain. I don't think I'm keeping the green."

Though she's more likely to call you that than answer to her own in public. As for Piper's comment, she just listens for now, also curious.

"I feel like maybe you two need some alone time?" Cause there was definitely something going on that he was in the dark about.

"That might be best. If you think so, Piper?" It was her friend's call on this one, considering it was a personal matter, but she didn't want Eric to feel like a third wheel, either.

"Sorry, Eric," she said, waving a bit. "I guess I didn't realize how tired I am." She looked between her two friends before her eyes finally settled on Eric again. "Hey, Captain, why don't I catch you up when I get back? Is that fair? I'll probably have gotten sleep by then." She tried to wink, but she looked tired even doing that. "I'll even let you come up with a new name for me then. No arguments."

He'd wink and ruffle her hair before getting up. "Well I'm gonna go to my room and bend space and time. Later ladies." He'd spin around and open a portal into his room, walking backwards into it. And when the portal sealed up he'd be gone. Back to Top   Eric Rebecca Jefferson Legend Defense Will it be you this time?

Rebecca smirk and raises a hand, then drops it once the portal closes and Eric vanishes from sight. She turns to Piper, raising a brow at her friend's vague comments. "Alright. Girl time. You're leaving to tie up loose ends. I'm guessing that's your mom, right?" She keeps her voice low, since Eric's only in the other room.
