[Odette can't believe this is happening. She cannot believe this has happened. She had gone to deck 13, just to pick some flowers. And when she stepped back into the elevator, her fingers only grazed the control panel, pressing deck 6 before she felt the change ( Read more... )

Phoenix? Could you meet me on deck 12? There's something I need your help with.

[Sometime after her excursion on deck 12 with Phoenix, Odette adds this to her post.]

Hey, Cale? I'm ready for my first lesson.

[Odette was going to call up Naveen today. But his ID number is offline. And that means...No. Not again. Not again.

She clears her throat before she talks into the comm. Her voice is steady. No crying. There were punishments, so she wants to check on someone a few people. She clutches her comm tightly.]

Cale? Are you all right?

Phoenix? If you're not busy, could you come see me? I'm up on the top deck.

[Odette's getting antsy. She's tired of waiting. Hopefully Facilier has the answer she wants to hear.]

Shadow Man? I just wanted to check on your progress. You can break my spell, right?

Phoenix? Are you all right?

[She's not entirely sure what he did. She just remembers hearing that he was hurt somehow.]

[Ah well, she enjoyed being her human self while she could. She transformed not long after the doors unlocked and after taking one look outside, Odette scrambled back into her room and hasn't been out since. She turns the comm on and takes a deep breath. Time to stop being a coward Odette.]I'm willing to help if we decide on a plan of action. I'm ( Read more... )
