ORIENTATION

lost your balance on a tightrope

"You are going to be so sorry when I get an eatin' disorder!"

Those were the last words Jessica spoke in a childish fury, denied again to eat properly by Bill. She stood behind the door waiting for the satisfying slam which never came. A blink and she’s sitting on a subway train. She’s still in her blood-orange dress and red shoes, and in her hand is a cell phone. It looked one similar to the one she stole from the limo driver. She hesitated in doing this orientation but what the hell.

After completing it she got off the train and explored the City Hall station. She looked through the various stores, calling out the same names over and over again. “Sookie? Bill!” She checked her phone and saw none of any familiar names.

With no response after several frustrating minutes, Jessica had to face the fact they aren’t here. It didn’t take long for her to realize it was daytime - her body felt like it was getting the crud and worse, her eyes and ears started to bleed out. Gross. She had to find a room to sleep away the day. The stores were filled with food and other things, but no workers. Restaurants were equally empty. Ducking her head to avoid anyone seeing her bloody face, Jessica fled to an empty restaurant and went into bathroom to clean up her face.

these days I haven’t been sleeping

Figuring that it would be stupid for her to talk to anyone while she’s like this - weakening and hungry - maybe she should get into a manager’s office and stay there until it’s dark.

Certain no one had followed her, she slipped out to the bathroom and found an office next to the kitchen. Not noticing the lack of paperwork in the office, Jessica sat down on the floor behind the desk and closed her eyes. It didn’t take long for her to fall asleep.

Although should someone enter the office as she slept, they would find not a sleeping girl but a corpse, pale and still.



AFTER DARK (tw; blood, hunger, possible vampire shenanigans, dead bodies, dead body nudity)

in a big city they just dropped me off

The moment the sun died Jessica was quick to leave the subway station. There are people around but for once she was feeling too skittish to really want to reach out. The emptiness of the city spooked her, like she’s trapped in a ghost town. The feeling reminds her of the time she was kidnapped by vampires to be turned, even though it’s completely unrelated.

She didn’t find any Tru Blood in the subway station so Jessica went to a grocery store to find some. Granted she wasn’t expecting any but here they are in the refrigerated food aisle - except it wasn’t in bottles but in blood bags. Some were labeled as disingenuously as “animal” but others labeled “synthetic”. It made her wonder if there’s a store that can give human blood in blood bags, or if she’s just going to have find some poor sucker to feed off of.

Figuring that’s something she can work out another time, she grabbed the bags with synthetic blood. It’ll taste as shitty as TruBlood but it’s something. After dumping the fifth bag into her shopping cart she realized she’s being watched. She looked up and saw someone. “What are you staring at?” Jessica barked before grabbing her shopping cart for a quick getaway.

our song is the slamming screen door

The karaoke sign drawn Jessica like a moth to a lightbulb. She’s hoping for some people here, obviously, but after spending two weeks in a vampire bar she’s more than drawn to the lights, the songs, the dances - god, the dances. She never danced in her life, and now she’s dead…she can do whatever she wanted.

Which was why the first thing she did was go straight for the screens and try to pick a song…Except she couldn’t find the catalog. “What the hell? Where are the songs?”

She let out a frustrated growl and stomped her foot impatiently. “Ugh. This sucks!”

our song is the way he laughs

And of course she had to explore. Had to! Except now she regretted taking in that urge. Open one door and suddenly she’s in a butcher’s shop. At first she thought the bodies were just pigs or cows or whatever…until she noticed a body that’s not skinned and had a pair of big tits that clearly belonged to a wan.

“Oh gross!” Jessica averted her eyes. “That’s so so gross…” Jessica bolted to the door and found it locked. “Fuck!”
