Well , she sneaks around the world from Kiev to Carolina -
She's a sticky-fingered filcher from Berlin down to Belize -
She'll take you for a ride on a slow boat to China -
Tell me : where in the world is C a r m e n S a n d i e g o ?
He considered himself lucky to be stranded inside a hospital within this snow storm. At least he can collect some medicines, or some clean cloth to survive for the mean time. Surviving isn’t a foreign word to him, even when his memories aren’t really there per say , he knows how to survive.
Trying the door for the second time, as he expected , it wouldn’t budge. It’s no use to waste his energy any further, Yagen decided to wait for the storm to end.
It’s best for him to keep that energy for something else.
having very little else to do , carmen watches the other’s failed attempts at getting the doors opened. of course , he hadn’t been the first to try , nor would he be the last. but out of those that the brunette has personally observed , she will a d m i t that this individual seems to be the most calm about the situation , at least outwardly. everyone else that she had seen APPEARED to be freaking out in some fashion after realizing that there isn’t a known way out. ❝ so , yes , that’s a thing , ❞ she comments as she approaches the stranger.
❝ i’m not sure if the doors are locked or if they’re just blocked in by the snow , but either way , it looks like we’re not getting out of here for a while. ❞
The blizzard had forced people to come inside and seek shelter, and Anne wasn’t all too bothered by this turn of events. Most of the people she had come across seemed to be pleasant enough, which was a relief. Still, she worried for the wild animals that wandered the city— and had one of them managed to enter the building, and was now wreaking havoc on the other side of that door? Or perhaps someone was ill and in need of assistance? Or what if one of the windows had burst open, turning the room into a replica of the snow storm outside? At the other woman’s command she frowned, mouth open and ready to argue. “I’ll go in with you— I’d feel better knowing that you weren’t alone in a room making weird noises.” While the other woman seemed plenty capable of doing things on her own, Anne was both too curious for her own good, and too good-hearted to leave someone to face possible danger alone.
a bit surprised , carmen turns to the other with a smile , giving a single nod in acceptance. while she’s more than capable of handling things herself , it’s admittedly always nice to have someone on her side instead of against. then there’s also the fact that the STRANGER reminds her of her friend ivy slightly. maybe that partially has to do with the other’s appearance – the red hair , the light complexion ( though the similarities basically end there ) – but it’s more so the fact that it seems like the woman has her back , despite the potential DANGER ahead. ivy was courageous , too , willing to put herself at risk for others. which is why she feels like she could trust this u n k n o w n individual , at least enough to accompany her into a semi-secluded room. one that apparently doesn’t want to be entered. ❝ hm , door’s locked. hold on for just a minute – i’ll get it opened in no time. ❞ as she beings rummaging in her bag for the necessary TOOLS , she introduces herself.
❝ i’m carmen , by the way. ❞
lauren sat on the floor with her legs pulled up to her chin, arms wrapped around her legs. she avoided to look at others who were in the same building. to be at the hospital gave her m e m o r i e s of everything that happened the past few months last year. how her parents did everything they could to protect her & andy, but they could never hide them from the world. the blonde teenager looked up to look at the others as they walked around. she wished that she could travel back in time to save her dad. lauren’s hands raised & formed the force field barrier. she knew it was not wise to do it around everyone but she could not see anyone around & she was bored. it was a risk that the people who were hunting mutants could be in the city, but since she had come to this place she did not try to think about it. she could not live in fear of what could happen.
when she heard footsteps nearby she quickly closed her hands & wrapped them around her legs again. whoever it was probably did not see anything. she jumped up on her feet a few seconds later when she saw a shadow on the wall “hi, do you know how long we are going to be here? i am beginning to worry about if i turned off everything at home” she began to chew on the inside of her cheek.
it hasn’t been long since carmen had been ushered into the hospital , but she is already growing restless. not having anything to keep herself occupied , she aimlessly wanders the halls of the facility. she enters most of the empty rooms that she passes , scouring them in HOPES of coming across some interesting finds , perhaps left behind by former patients or reckless staff. nearly an hour passes before something worth taking turns up underneath one of the mattresses – a small device with some sort of virtual animal contained inside. she’s h e a r d of these digital pets before & while she normally wouldn’t bother with them , she’s too bored to pass up on the opportunity.
with the keychain game in hand , she E X I T S & walks around the corner to return to her claimed ‘ bedroom. ‘ as she does , she catches a glimpse of something strange – an unexplained glow , she might say , but also not quite that. whatever it is , it puts her on edge. elaborate weapons certainly point to v.i.l.e & while she doesn’t recognize the other from the academy , she can’t be too careful. eyebrows turning in slightly , an expression of her suspicion , carmen spends a brief moment a c c e s s i n g the blonde. the other doesn’t seem to want to harm her , as it wouldn’t make much sense for a V.I.L.E operative to feign innocence … they’re typically too bold for that. so , the brunette composes her features , but remains alert. ❝ i don’t know , ❞ she answers unhelpfully.
❝ at least a few more hours , i would think. we might have to stay the night , but it should be clear enough tomorrow. the storm can’t possibly last that long. ❞
❝ yeah , well. i don’t think you have much of a choice , ❞ carmen responds. her gaze wanders to a nearby window & for just a brief moment , she observes the white sky , watching the heavy flurries of snow fall atop of already large mounds. ❝ it doesn’t look like ANYONE is going anywhere any time soon. ❞ she stands from her seat on the lobby’s couch , allowing gray eyes to fall back on the other. ❝ SO , you can either stay right here & continue to whine to anyone that’ll listen to you … O R , like i already suggested , you can come help me out. i’m going to the cafeteria to get find some actual food , since this vending machine stuff just isn’t working for me , & – ❞ she raises her arm slightly , emphasizing the fact that her wrist is currently in a sling & not of muchuse at the moment – ❝ i won’t be able to carry everything back with one hand. so , i guess you do have s o m e choice after all. what will it be ? ❞
ear pressed against the door , carmen listens carefully to the loud thuds coming from the other side. she’s unsure of what’s causing the inconsistent noises , but whatever it is , it’s certainly being very obnoxious. ❝ i don’t know , ❞ she eventually answers. she BACKS AWAY from the closed room the but does not yet turn back to the other.
❝ but it sure knows how to grab my interest. ❞ she places a hand on the door’s handle , preparing to investigate the disturbance.
❝ i’m going in to check it out – you stay here. ❞
( because sometimes just describing your muse with a single word isn’t enough, here are some simple questions opening up for you to get as in depth as you want about the hows, the whys, the whens and wheres, etc of each of your muse’s traits.) based on this list.

the woman asked if rebecca was a psychiatrist— which she defiantly took as a complement “oh, no. but thank you” she smiled “but i’ve seen…. a lot in my day, like a lot” becks put her hand down, not really getting offended; not everyone is down to be friend which is something she was gonna have to learn. both in the real world and in this fake one “becks, rebecca! whatever you want my guy” the older woman chuckled, listening to her plea to leave her the fuck alone. “okay, if you’re sure that you’re alright” she shrugged, almost walking away until she mentioned the hug. “nothing wrong with getting a hug from a stranger, you never do a random act of kindness?”
it’s not difficult to recognize just how affable this becks – or rebecca – truly is as a person. like what had already mentioned , it’s fairly clear that the other had only good intentions when she approached – it’s not the woman’s fault that carmen is not one for r a n d o m physical contact or unsolicited sympathy. really , the easy sense of hospitality that radiates off becks is a GOOD TRAIT to have , just not one that the younger brunette typically deals with. ❝ i mean , i probably have. ❞ she answers the inquiry with a hint of false indifference underlying her words. ❝ but never when it means just , i don’t know , TOUCHING a stranger. you don’t think that’s even just a little bit weird ? ❞
Looking at her, he then frowned and tilted his head to the side. “You know, I can pay. I hate eating infront of people when they have nothing to eat or drink themselves. I don’t know, it just makes me anxious” he mused as he flashed her yet another smile before he turned around and went to order. Now the tricky thing was, he didn’t know what he wanted. So he stood there and looked at the menu with his arms crossed over his chest.
well , if he’s willing to pay , then the least carmen can do is take a look at the menu. perhaps she’d want more than a BASIC cup of water , after all. so with the charger still in hand , the brunette follows the other to the counter , immediately looking up at the cafe’s offered snacks & beverages. after a brief moment , she notices the other’s seemingly indecisive stance. ❝ if it’s something s w e e t that you’re after , you can never go wrong with anything caramel. a shot of that stuff in your drink & you’re practically GUARANTEED a sugar rush. ❞
