Finding Ida's sister

"Sorry for my tone of voice. I've just been having some problems with my friend.... so I'm still in a pretty bad mood. So any of the unknown is kinda pissing me off right now." She said, looking down at her purse at her feet. She stood up from the bed, and grabbed a hairbrush she brought with her everywhere, and slowly pulled out all the tangles from the rain.
 
"Oh." Sheena has no idea what you're talking about but doesn't feel comfortable asking. She watches you silently for a while, then blurts out again, "So...you're not gay? Do you at least not have an issue with people who are, because otherwise-" Blushing immediately when she realizes how this sounds, she starts to stand. "Uh, you're probably tired or whatever...and if Liza is gonna go poking around in your head tomorrow...I can go, if you want."


(she and Faith are both bi, but both are currently involved with males)
 
Oh, okay!


She stopped brushing her hair, and tilted her head at the girl. "No, I'm not. And I have no problem with people who are. One of my best friends in high school was gay." She stopped her a moment, thinking. "Are you?" She found it strange that she asked her again, and then wanted to rush out in a hurry.
 
"Yes," she almost snaps, her shoulders tensed, eyes daring her to make a negative comment as she watches her closely, then she adds after a beat, "half, anyway." Ears still red, Sheena partly turns away, but doesn't walk out of the room yet.
 
She looked up and down the girl, every part of her showing embarrassment, and humiliation. "Why do you seem so ashamed?" She blinks, and takes another quick glance around her room.
 
Sheena's head whips around at this question, and she says fiercely, "I am NOT, there's nothing WRONG with it. Damn it, even Faith is." Still, her entire face is burning now, and she tries to change the subject hurriedly. "Well are you gonna like try to find a real place to live or something?"
 
She grits her teeth. How dare her. However, she remains calm. "I know that there's nothing wrong with it. I said that before. And I'm working hard everyday to get my own place."


 
"Oh...you work?" Well that was one thing Sheena never even tried to do when she was living on the streets, mainly because having no ID, social security, or higher than ninth grade education pretty much meant the only way she could earn a living would be to steal or hook...which was exactly what she had done, eventually.


"I mean...a real job?"
 
"Yeah...I noticed that." Her voice is quiet now, and she looks away, starting to play with her hair again. She is unaware of how her blunt questions sound to Ida, without the context of Ida knowing her track of thoughts, and remains silent, trying not to think about her own past methods of obtaining money.
 
She cracks her fingers, and looks at the clock on the wall. "Oh, would you look at the time... I better head to work." She said, a bit of anger in her voice. "If you don't mind, tell Faith I'll be back at 1:00AM. Thanks." Without any last words, she picks up her back, pulling it over her shoulder with force, and closes the door angrily, without slamming it. She begins to walk to the local bar, where she made a good bartender.
 
Stunned by her apparent anger and her sudden leaving, Sheena stares after her, not understanding what went wrong in the conversation. Somewhat hurt, she goes to her own room, not telling Faith anything, and wonders what she did wrong-or else what Ida's problem is.
 
Psh. Real job. Own home. Who was she to say those things?! Sheena didn't seem to have a job. Sheena didn't seem to have a house either. Ugh. I mean, why wo-. Ida's thought was cut of, as the owner of the bar tossed her work apron at her. "You're late." He says. "Sorry sir, I was in a hurry, and I don't-" Again, this time in real life she was cut off a second time. "Save it, get to work." He said, and walked away. Grunting, it felt like a mini storm cloud was just hovering over wherever she went. With a sigh, she stood behind the bar counter, awaiting someone to order a drink. "One Budlight." She heard a girl say in the distance. She grabbed one Budlight beer, and handed it to the woman. Her night job was much more entertaining. All sorts of juicy stuff went on, and it wasn't difficult work.
 
(Sheena's job is helping to save the world lol...and she's still dependent on the Cords, she was homeless on and off consistently from age 11 to 17) Meanwhile, Liza sleeps deeply, hugging her beloved teddy bear, and Faith slips off into her training room, not yet ready for slip, to work out, her favorite way to wind herself down.
 
Jason knew It had come from Joseph's door. Where else?


Another noise came, to confirm his suspicion. He hung back, racked with indecision; knock on the door and confront the devil, or pack up and go live somewhere else? He sighed. What sort of a choice was that?


His stomach suddenly rumbled. Oh, right-he was hungry! He hadn't eaten since breakfast, and dinnertime was probably past. Grimacing, Jason looked around, as if a double cheeseburger might appear out of thin air.


He looked back into the alley. It was too late to scrape together money. He might have to stick with old acquaintances, namely Joseph and Ida, and live off of charity....


Jason sighed again. Or there was always dumpster diving.
 
She meant like a job... like an occupation. But I understand what you're saying.





Just as she was cleaning a glass, some girls she knew in collage walked through the door of the bar/club. Ida dunked her self under the bar, out of sight. Those three were cruel girls, some of the worst Ida has ever seen. They always targeted Ida. With a gulp, she lifts herself up. "W-what can I get you?" She asked the girls. A bit buzzed to begin with, the girls replied. "Oh my gosh... Steph, is that Ida from collage?" The brunette girl who went by Steph eyed me. "You know what, I think it is!" She laughed. "What can I get you?" Ida spoke again. "Three corkscrews." The spoke at the same time. She quickly prepared the drinks, wanting them to get out of her face. And just as she poured the orange juice in the last drink, she heard a clash. As she flicked her head up, two guys were fighting over some chicks dancing. She shrugged. Security would take care of them. She slid the three drinks to all the girls, and said. "Here you are." And hurried off to help someone else.


--- Merged Double Post ---


Lol, you're such a good poster. XP
 
When Faith finishes training about 90 minutes later she slips out of the training room, sweating slightly, and starts to head down the hall to quickly shower before bed. She pauses outside Ida's room, then inches the door open, just intending to briefly peek in before continuing on the way. The room's light is on, but Ida isn't there. When she goes to the closest bathroom and knocks, the door is unlocked, and Ida isn't there either...nor is she in the kitchen, living room, or Liza's room. What the hell? Where is she? Why would this girl come to them for help and then take off right before they gave it to her?
 
God damn it Sheena, tell her. DX


She watched as the buff guards pulled the two boys apart. They were twigs compared to them. "Stay the hell outta here if you can't control yourself." One of them mumbled, and they both threw them out. A few people laughed, while others stood, shocked. She prepared a few more drinks for people. She just wanted to get back to the Cord's.
 
(lol Sheena is hurt, she retreated to her room. She's actually sensitive, believe it or not, she just doesn't come across like it) Shaking her head, Faith returns to her room and slips into bed with Macal. Whatever...it wasn't like they HAD to help the girl.
 
(sure, I'll be heading to bed soon though. and i wont be on tomorrow most likely, gonna be out with friends on her birthday)
 
Ida grabbed her items, untied her apron, and head to the Cord's again. She slowly opened the front door, not wanting to wake anyone. The wooden plank floor creaked as she tip toed into the guest bedroom. She gave a tired sigh, and dropped her purse, and plopped down onto the bed.
 
Where Liza is waiting for her, sitting on the edge, and speaks up cheerfully when Ida lays down. "Hi! Ready for me to be in your head yet?" (haha poor Ida...and I'm going to bed myself now, we can leave off here until probably Sunday is when I can next post regularly, after I check in the morning)
 
(You guys haven't forgotten Grin and me, right? He did offer to help Liza and Ida into the past, after all. At least I think. I was planning on Jason going with him to the Cord household when he got back; I mean, who wants to be stuck in the smelly old present when all the others get to go off on a wild adventure?)


(...that was a joke, by the way.)
