< @WanderingJester > After some consideration, Morain went for a classic glamour pose, one hand behind her head, 3/4 facing the camera and one leg bent a bit. She was blushing furiously. "Take it, Veronica! Before I change my mind!"
"Take it, Veronica! Before I change my mind!" Veronica giggled, and snapped several shots from different angle and lighting before sending them to Kelley's digi-pad. The SOUL looked at the photos as she tossed an oversized shirt for Morain to put on, leaving Morain to wonder where the SOUL got the shirt from. "Wow sis, you can be a model!" She said seriously, before thinking about Kelley's face when he gets them and started giggling. _____________________________________ Meanwhile in holding bay 03, Kelley just finished his evening work out shower and was getting ready for bed. He watched the latest news from the other frontlines and had the post action report pulled up on the computer at his desk when his digi-pad suddenly vibrated. He picked it up and saw it was a message from Veronica. Opening it, it read the following message before displaying the rather scandalous photos of Morain. Hope you like what you see Mr. Kelley! - Veronica. He swapped through the album, pausing occasionally to look closer at one photo or another. Then he typed out another message back to Veronica. To Veronica, I am currently sending a separate message to Morain, but don't let her know about this one. Please complement her looks for me once you've seen her reactions. Your Rider, Loren Kelley To Morain he sent a separate message. To Morain, Nice towels. Loren. _______________ Veronica got her messaged and giggled very hard before looking intently at Morain. Before her sister could growl at her though, Morain's digi-pad notified her that she's got a new message from Kelley.
OOC: Ahaha it was to late for me to process that. I saw where it was headed and activated my maximum nope thrusters To further quantify this is on par with how much nope I experienced I Thought I was ready for anything you could possibly post So then I was like So Yeah Lets just skip to the part that isn't painfully awkward and has robots plz
< @Xanxas > OOC: Not going anywhere else with this for now. Deal with it. Kyras would awaken to the smell of breakfast. When he looked, he would see Yalei, in her jumpsuit again, walking back into the room with a large platter of pancakes, eggs, bacon, biscuits, sausage, all the breakfast fixin's. She put it down on the table, and walked over to kiss Kyras on the forehead. "Time to get up, love. I brought food." < @WanderingJester > Morain saw the message: 'Nice Towels' Veronica could actually SEE the red creeping up her face. Morain squealed, and dived under the covers of the bed. "Ohgod, what have I done? Now what does he think of me? Ohgod..." She said "Damnit, Veronica, he'll probably want nothing to do with me now!"
"Ohgod, what have I done? Now what does he think of me? Oh god... Damnit, Veronica, he'll probably want nothing to do with me now!" Veronica laughed uncontrollably at Morain's reaction, which cause Morain to glare at her from under the covers, now dressed in that oversized shirt that Veronica gave her. The SOUL floated over and hugged her grumpy sister. "Oh sis, he thought you looked great, and I know because he sent me a separate message. We both think you can model part time you if wanted to." The SOUL winked at the embarrassed girl, who still hasn't noticed that the oversized shirt smells suspiciously a lot like Kelley. Veronica also hoped that this meant she won the game, as Morain seemed to be all too embarrassed to remember about it.
< @WanderingJester > Morain pouted humorously at Veronica, before laughing a little herself. "Ok, ok... you win... Is this shirt Loren's?" She asks, finally getting a whiff of the shirt's scent. "Why did you give me one of his shirts?" After Veronica could answer, she sighed and climbed out of the bed, walking to the couch and grabbing a controller. "You said you wanted to talk about boys...? I could... use some advice on Loren. I know, when we first met, you wanted him to have nothing to do with me, but..."
OOC: The couch is the double bed that's pulled out that they're both on right now. "Ok, ok... you win... Is this shirt Loren's? Why did you give me one of his shirts?" Veronica blushed a little, then before she could reply, Morain cut her off. "You said you wanted to talk about boys...? I could... use some advice on Loren. I know, when we first met, you wanted him to have nothing to do with me, but..." Morain grabbed a controller, but didn't notice Veronica's faint flush. The SOUL replied. "Well, I know that you fancied Mr. Kelley, so I though you might like that shirt. I've read somewhere that human's smells connects closely with their memory, so I thought that the shirt might make you remember Mr. Kelley when he's not around..." She giggled despite herself. "That's...that's the first thing I've ever stolen." Veronica giggled some more, before addressing the second issue. "Oh sis, that's all water under the bridge now. I just want you and Mr. Kelley to be happy! What do you want to know about him?" Veronica gave a sly stare at Morain, "and I never said I wanted to talk about boys, I just suggested that as an option for what we can do. You're that crazy about him huh?" Veronica giggled again.
< @WanderingJester > OOC: Whoops... She's just sitting on it as a couch then. Makes sense. Morain was selecting her FRAME when Veronica hit the issue right on the nose. She stopped, flushed, and put down the controller, looking directly in Veronica's eyes. "Yes... I am. I'm pretty damn sure I love him... but I'm afraid. I'm afraid if I tell him, he'll push me away. Afraid that if he knows... he won't want to be with me anymore. I've seen that happen, Veronica. In the academy, one time I saw a girl confess to the man she loved... and he just laughed and walked away." Tears were coming in her eyes again. "I... don't want to ruin... what we have... but I want him to know... how I feel..." Suddenly she turned and took Veronica in a hug, her body shaking in fear. "Only one person ever truly cared for me... and he DIED because of me. I told Loren the story... he must think that... I'm a bad omen... I'm not worth his time... He must think...If he cares... he'll die..."
"Yes... I am. I'm pretty damn sure I love him... but I'm afraid. I'm afraid if I tell him, he'll push me away. Afraid that if he knows... he won't want to be with me anymore. I've seen that happen, Veronica. In the academy, one time I saw a girl confess to the man she loved... and he just laughed and walked away." Morain pulled Veronica into a hug, and the SOUL smiled and gently hugged her back. "I... don't want to ruin... what we have... but I want him to know... how I feel... Only one person ever truly cared for me... and he DIED because of me. I told Loren the story... he must think that... I'm a bad omen... I'm not worth his time... He must think...If he cares... he'll die..." Veronica at this point placed both hands on Morain's shoulders and held her at arms length from the SOUL so the two could see each other's faces. Morain started to look away in tears. "Sis look at me." Morain looked back up at Veronica. "Mr. Kelley has been called many things and is many things but superstitious isn't one of them. I assumed he's told you about the team that he worked with before it got wiped out didn't he? Well let me tell you about a mission they went on before that." Veronica let go of Morain so she can get comfortable, before starting her tale. "There was a rebel cruiser, by the name of Antonia Graza. Now supposedly this ship was cursed, and the rebels played the part. They made sure the outer armor looked rusted and debilitated, and the weapons to look rusted and such. The outer hull was painted to look as spectral as possible. They even included a toxin bio weapon designed to create hallucinations to all pilots without the antidote in his system and a holographic distorter around the entire vessel to have it shift in front of human eyes." "Now Mr. Kelley and his team were tasked with guarding a sector of friendly space where the Antonia Graza just happened to be in. And of course the two forces ran into each other. The rebels saw Mr. Kelley's forces first unfortunately, and they fired and got a direct hit with the toxin bio weapon. The others fled the immediate area as soon as they saw the ship and I expected Mr. Kelley to do the same, because God knows what he saw. You know what he did? Mr. Kelley charged the ship with Void Riptide and cut the vessel clean in half." Veronica looked at Morain. "Trust me, the last thing Mr. Kelley cares about is some bad omen, and as much as I hate to admit it, right next to his own death. So if you really love him, then you shouldn't worry about these things." Veronica scowled. "It will be all the more likely that his damn FRAME will kill him first anyways."
< @WanderingJester > Morain just sat there for a while, taking in what Veronica said. She hadn't quite addressed all her concerns, though. Suddenly the door was buzzed, indicating the food she ordered had arrived. She went to the door and retrieved a deluxe pizza, and then closed the door, placed it on the table, and turned back to look at Veronica. "FRAME aside, Veronica... I'm still scared to tell him. What if... he doesn't love me back? I've... never even felt this way before. I never felt anything for anyone until I saw Loren. And then... he was all I could think about. The only thing I could think about. And then you became my sister. And... he's been changing... for the better...I've never been so happy... but I could ruin all that with a mere three words."
