Ashley Morgenstern

"Oh thanks!" said Ashley, as she took the vegetables from Lasille. She said a brief good-bye and let Lasille get back to her afternoon nap.
Ashley entered her shelter, to find a note from Carol. She scanned through it, and could make out the words "job" and "coming back tonight." She was lucky that the bombings started after she had gone to school, or she wouldn't understand a thing.
"Awesome!" she thought, "Carol is goinna get a job!" She set the vegetables on a broken piece of cement and got into her bed. She closed her eyes, and fell asleep.

Lasille sat up and put a hand protectively against her eyes to block out the late afternoon rays that filtered through the roof. "What did you say?" she asked Ashley. "Something to do with jobs?"
Ashley rolled her eyes and told her about what had occurred between herself and Charlotte.
"Nice!" exclaimed Lasille. "Congratulations! Now I won't have to collapse under the tons of dishes waiting to be washed by myself!" She hugged Ashley briefly, then got off the bed and walked over to the bag of vegetables that lay on a makeshift table. "I forgot to give you some of these", she said. "Here, have some." She handed some of the vegetables to Ashley.

The woman looked at Fran shyly, "I'm-"

Fran cut her off, "I think I know who you are,"

"I... I overheard a bit of your call; I'm sorry for making you wait so long."

"It's fine," Fran replied in a monotone voice, "We, uh, better get going then. Alexis probably wants to talk more about this with you."

She started to walk briskly out the doors of the airport, past the closed rooms of the mechanical works. Conny followed close behind her.

"He hasn't told me much about this. Only to meet you here so any questions you have, don't ask me; I don't know."

Conny closed her mouth that had been open to do the exact thing, "Uhm, may I ask where we're going, Miss?"

"...No."

They came to the end hall and stepped outside where a car was waiting for them. The driver had been leaning against the side of the car; he jumped to attention as soon as he spotted them.

Serai Kils// Amnesiac Android
 

Serai was shoved into a room that looked like it belonged to a hospital. Only there was a lot of electrical equipment lying about. 'What is this place?' she thought, as she sat on the bed. "Wait here," the nurse said. She then abruptly left the room, closing the door behind her.


As soon as the door closed, Serai got up, and examined the room. It was a small room, with one desk, a bed, a curtain, and bedside table. Everything was white save for the mechanical devices. 'A horizontal O.G.A...what on earth?' she thought, getting up and rushing towards the door. She opened it, and ran slap bang into the officer who had caught her before.

Ashley Morgenstern

Still feeling as high as the sky, Ashley proceeded to walk (though she was so excited it was almost running) towards Lasille's shack. The place used to belong to the poor, but somehow it was still sturdy even after the bombings. As Ashley walked closer, she could see Lasille having a nap on a small cot that was made with torn and useless cloths. She knew it would be really rude to wake up Lasille, especially during her afternoon naps, but she couldn't contain her excitement any longer. She shook Lasille until she opened a sleepy eye. Before Lasille could react, Ashley screamed, "GUESS WHAT? I GOT A JOB!!!"

Fran didn't enjoy waiting for anything. She had already lost track of time, what with the whole android fiasco. Standing still in one place was horrible for her, but she didn't want to walk around for fear that she might miss the person she was supposed to meet.

"Alexis is probably lounging around bothering Breech right now..." And here she was, standing in the middle of a airport waiting for Ms. Confused to show.

Fran's stomach gave a small growl. Refusing to wait any longer and postpone lunch, she snapped her phone open to call Alexis.

Alexis picked up on the fourth ring, "Hey sweetie! You found her right?"

"No, I didn't actually. Want to run your oh so detailed description to me again?"

In the background, Fran could hear the shuffling of someone's feet behind her but she ignored it; Alexis' laughter was just too loud.

"Confused. I tell you, you'll know when you see her."

Fran was glaring, "It's almost lunch! I do have a life outside of running errands for you!"

On the other end, Alexis was grinning so wide, Fran swore she could see in through his voice, "Right. I have lunch date with Nathan. What would I do without you, Fran? See you,"

Fran hung up before he could finish and turned around to see who had sneaked up behind her.

A woman, dressed in a flight attendent's uniform was standing there. Her name label announced her as Conny Fuse. Fran groaned, she hated Alexis' humour.
