now everyone can see what a wet week you are, Jackie

[femlightning.livejournal.com]

[Jackie is sat in a random room, looking... contemplative. Ever since Russ had come back into her life, things had seemed better. Much better... and yet, she wasn't happy. Something still felt wrong to her, and she couldn't quite figure out what it was. Despite learning that Russ had never wanted someone else over her, there was this nagging suspicion in the back of her mind. Of course, not having her child here didn't help. She'd give anything in the world if it meant she got to see her daughter again... but no, it wasn't what was on her mind.

Perhaps it was guilt. Guilt for running away in the first place, when Russ was so forgiving. Guilt for messing up and seeking comfort from another man here once... she still hadn't told him. She didn't intend to. Mostly because she was ashamed of herself for having allowed such weakness to control her actions, but partly because she didn't want to see the look on Russ' face. Was that it? She doubted it, somehow. Maybe she simply was incapable of being happy without finding some reason not to be. It was hardly in her nature to be content with what she had.]

[She was so absorbed by her own thoughts that she hadn't noticed said thoughts floating above her head:

"I wish my child would show up" "I slept with another man and feel guilty" "Maybe I'm just incapable of being happy"]


((Because it's not like Jackie is normally a downer, pfffft. In this room, your thoughts will hover neatly above your head. Whether your character notices or not is up to you, but other people will sure as hell notice. It's pretty much impossible to lie in here, too... not without what you were really going to say hovering above your head and shaming you. :V))

["Man, that lobster was awesome"]

[Yeah, Jack's thoughts are pretty sweet and simple right now for once.]

[cantjigglethese.livejournal.com]

Hey, Jackie... looks like this room is trying to frame you for something.

[She wouldn't have cheated on me, right...?]

[femlightning.livejournal.com]

What?

["What?"]

[She looks up.]

["Oh shit."]

[cantjigglethese.livejournal.com]

It's really trying to make you look guilty.

[Isn't she going to agree with me?]

...Right?

[femlightning.livejournal.com]

Yeah... it's just the room...

["I am so busted..."]

[cantjigglethese.livejournal.com]

You don't sound very convinced.

["I'm starting to think she might be lying."]

If what this room is saying is true, you better just tell me now.

[I would really like a fight right about now~]

[That would explain the way he's sizing people up now as he walks into the room.]

["I wish I could find something to cheer myself up..."]

[Jack sits on another sofa, his eyes on the floor. Yeah, just about as cheerful as ever, really.]

[worlds-serpent.livejournal.com]

["Everything I ever knew is an elaborate lie. Now what?"]

Bit under the weather, Jack?

[productofwar.livejournal.com]

[Jack doesn't look up, just nods.]

["A "bit" is an understatement..."]

[worlds-serpent.livejournal.com]

[Liquid glanced at the words over Raiden's head, then looked up at his own.]

["Well, that's different. Just when I assume things can't get worse..."]

So what might have put you in such a delightful mood? [He lit a cigarette, leaning against the nearest wall.]

[productofwar.livejournal.com]

It's nothing.

["It's everything."]

[Isolating himself wasn't helping any more than trying to be a part of everyday life, it seemed.]

[worlds-serpent.livejournal.com]

..I see. It's like that, is it?

["Looks like I'm not the only one, at least."]

[babyjohnboard.livejournal.com]

["Does Jack even love me anymore?"]

[Yeah that pretty much sums it up.]

[bossuboku.livejournal.com]

["I'm hungry! Why did I go in here?!"]

WAH!? ...Well...It's true! I am hungry!

[thesunny-sideup.livejournal.com]

["Maybe I should cook some eggs.........."]

[Can you expect any less?]

[a-small-flower.livejournal.com]

[I have no idea what is going on at my house. :| Why is everyone so upset all of the time?]

[Yeah, Rose has no idea what's going on anywhere. Jack disappeared and she just started wandering on her own. It wasn't safe but she couldn't just stay home.]

["Its almost been a year since Snake died."]

[Hal sits on one of the chairs in the room, taking off his glasses and running a hand through his hair. The man sighs.]

[still-a-rookie.livejournal.com]

["I should up my endurance training. There's always room for improvement with that."]

[Nope, nothing too earth-shattering here.]

[polygon-animes.livejournal.com]

["I'm jealous of who she slept with."]

[Otacon's thoughts form when he looks over at Raiden.]
