Hacking 004

[technologic]

Action | Outside 918 Bilko Boulevard.

[April had wanted to hide in her room for a while, after what had happened last week. She had acted so cold and that fight with Greed... But, hiding wouldn't solve anything, and hey, she got an envelope in the mailbox. She isn't too happy when she opens the envelope though, as she immediately doubles over from pain and collapses onto her knees.]

Agh... D-dammit...

[There doesn't seem to be any open wounds on her, but the scars that have made an appearance on her arms might be an indication of what's wrong.]

Phone

[Sometimes later, April makes a phone call. She still sounds in pain, but not as bad as earlier.] Does... does anyone know any first-aid stuff for treating old wounds? I've gotten some back, and they're hurting like hell...

... And, um, for anyone who saw me last week, I-I'm sorry about how I a-acted...

[technologic]

Yep, I was. I acted... really cold to everyone and I even attacked one of my friends. Though he was being a complete jackass at the time...

So then, you were as well?

[beamiracle]

...yes, I was. [And though it's vague, Lion has a pretty good idea who he thought he was.] I'm just glad that didn't last long...

[technologic]

Yeah, same here. I... don't like the idea of the town making me act like, well, not myself... Do you remember why you acted how you did though? [April doesn't really remember why she acted that cold, besides there somehow being a lingering feeling of anger almost constantly.]

[beamiracle]

I acted like someone I could have been, basically. If my circumstances were different.

[technologic]

Someone you could have been... [She sounds thoughtful and it's a few moments before she speaks again.] Yeah, that sounds about right for me too... But that's kinda eerie to think about, that that's who you could have possibly been if something had changed in the past.

[beamiracle]

It is. [And Lion has thought about it more than once.] But still, what's done is done. At least it won't happen to us now.

[technologic]

True... Though now I've got some patching up to do with someone. [Sigh.] Hopefully whatever the town does next won't directly mess with our heads again.

[beamiracle]

Well, if you explain it to them, I'm sure they'll understand.

[technologic]

M-maybe... They hit a sore spot and I tried to seriously hurt them, so... [She sighs again.] But I'm hoping we can smooth things out, since we were pretty good friends before.

Hopefully nothing as bad as that happened to you during this whole thing.

[beamiracle]

Nothing too bad happened, no. Just a few awkward situations.

[technologic]

That's good! So, nothing some explanations can't solve.

[beamiracle]

Of course. I'm sure they'll understand once I explain things.
