Because not Everything is as it Seems (Crystal)

[Light]

Serenity rubs her chin, "Well... This is totally not awkward."

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Nora laughed, and once she got started she couldn't stop. It was just so absurd, this situation, all of it! A week ago, she was daydreaming about art and attending classes, learning how to be an agent of the UC. Now she was locked up in the cells of that very government, daydreaming about one of her teachers instead of art, and talking with her adopted-daughter-to-be.

[Light]

Serenity starts laughing as well, holding her stomach. Hearing Nora laugh had got her started as well.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Their laughter echoed off the walls of the cell, and now Nora was holding her stomach, tears leaking from her eyes. When she could breath again, she said, "Well, that was refreshing."

[Light]

"Oh yeah, tell me about it. Being stuck down here isn't exactly a mood lifter ya know- it was nice to do that." Serenity sobers up a bit sitting down and leaning back on her hands.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Nora wiped the tears from her eyes and ran her fingers through her ruffled hair. "Ugh, I need a shower," she murmured.

[Light]

Serenity turns her head and sniffs her shoulder, "um, yeah. One of those would be REAL nice right about now."

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

"So, when is Zaine coming?" Nora asked. The sooner they got out of here the better. She'd always been a fairly patient person, or so she'd though, but being stuck here was really trying it.

[Light]

"I dunno, when he can get some people together to blow up some stuff." Serenity lays out of the floor looking at her nails.

(I sorta have an idea on how they get out xD)

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

(Oh, tell me tell me! xD)

Nora rubbed her stiff back and glanced at the other girl. "And how long will that take?"

[Light]

(Well Zaine and Brook could sneak in together, Zaine being the distraction while Brook goes and gets them.)

Serenity snorts, "A day or so maybe."

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

(Zaine and Brooks working together... interesting xD Where should his and her relationship stand at this time?)

[Light]

(Hmmm... Serenity would see him as her body guard or 'meat shield' xD That kinda love is funny)

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

(Haha. Well, I guess that would give him an excuse to try and rescue her, being her body guard and all)

[Light]

(yup :3)

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

"Wonderful," Nora said. "If you don't mind, I'm going to try and get some non-drug-induced sleep."

[Light]

(cue explosions...)

Loud explosions suddenly shake the earth, sirens and alarms going off.

Serenity grinned, "Looks like you'll have to wait for that nap."

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Nora gasped as she sat back bolt upright, having already been halfway down to lying on the floor. "Is that them?" she asked hopefully.

[Light]

Serenity presses her ear to the floor closing her eyes, "I can't tell- but the UC are REALLY unhappy. So yeah, it might be them."

A series of explosions follow, and the power goes out.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Nora sincerely hoped something wouldn't happen where she thought he was dead, even if he turned out to be alive later. Of course he would want him to turn out to be alive, though. That was always better than real death. "How long will this take?" she asked.
