[X-World] Brooding

After her argument with Miranda Jennifer is standing on the roof, her hands placed on the balustrade as she stares out over the city.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Feb 23, 2015 6:40 pm

Brigid steps out onto the roof and finds a place to sit.

She's silent, for now.

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Mon Feb 23, 2015 6:42 pm

"So, welcome to London. Some welcome, huh?" Jennifer eventually breaks the silence.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Feb 23, 2015 6:43 pm

"Feels a bit like home."

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Mon Feb 23, 2015 6:46 pm

"That's kind of depressing."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Feb 23, 2015 7:03 pm

"I know. My world, not yours."

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Mon Feb 23, 2015 7:18 pm

"It's pretty much mine now too. All of our world, really."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Feb 23, 2015 7:40 pm

"Doesn't mean it can't be turned into something better."

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Mon Feb 23, 2015 7:44 pm

"How the fuck does everyone manage to stay so freaking optimistic in the face of all this? Melissa was too."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Feb 23, 2015 8:00 pm

"They have electricity at Big Ben. Crops, too."

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Mon Feb 23, 2015 8:14 pm

"That is pretty big." she admits. "Maybe Melissa was right and I just need to stop assuming everything is pointless..."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Feb 23, 2015 8:37 pm

"I wouldn't have come here if I thought it was all over."

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Mon Feb 23, 2015 8:45 pm

"I suppose I don't have to ask you what you think we should do about Theresa?"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Feb 23, 2015 8:49 pm

"I don't want to hurt her more. I'll trust the telepaths on this one."

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Mon Feb 23, 2015 9:05 pm

She sighs. "Maybe Miranda is right. Maybe I'm just scared to try and make things better..."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Feb 23, 2015 9:08 pm

"I won't lie. It hurt to see her like that. I'm the first to admit I'm no expert, though."

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Mon Feb 23, 2015 10:06 pm

"How the fuck could anybody be an expert in this?" she sighs. "But I guess there's no way to become one without trying..."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Feb 23, 2015 11:00 pm

"I'm not... I'm not asking you to do this, Jen."

"I know fighting. I know physics. That's me. I don't know where to begin with... this."

"Even if I wish I could make her whole. It's not what I do."

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Mon Feb 23, 2015 11:31 pm

"Yet you simply being here has already done wonders for her."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Feb 23, 2015 11:49 pm

"And tomorrow she could get worse again. I'm not going to inflate my importance."

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Tue Feb 24, 2015 12:27 am

"And she probably will, but I'm not sure I've seen her this lucid since all this. If there's a chance to bring her back, maybe this is it."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Tue Feb 24, 2015 2:03 pm

"I won't think less of you if you're still unsure about it."

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Tue Feb 24, 2015 2:31 pm

"Like I care." she jokes. It might be weak, but a little bit of Jennifer's old attitude from back in the day shines through the faint smirk on her face.

Behind her on the horizon a small column of smoke rises from somewhere west in the city. In only a couple moments the column grows thicker and darker before Brigid's eyes.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Tue Feb 24, 2015 2:34 pm

"...trouble," she says, not looking at Jennifer but past her.

"Feel like some exercise?"

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Tue Feb 24, 2015 2:41 pm

Jennifer turns around and follows Brigid's gaze. The smoke is still getting thicker, obscuring the jungle and the clock tower barely rising above the canopy.

"Shit. That can't be good..."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Tue Feb 24, 2015 2:50 pm

"Let's move," she says, heading for the treetops.

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Tue Feb 24, 2015 2:57 pm

"Miranda, Vertie, something is going on over at Big Ben. Brigid and me are heading over, meet us there if you can tell whether we'll need help." she sends to the women downstairs as she does her best to try and keep up with Brigid.
