Thread: The Darker Side of Life (LadyYunaFFX2 & littlerooster's 1x1)

Shania Whitewater Shania realized it may be a while. So .. in order to help kill time, she got up and went into her kitchen, grabbing some leftover pasta and a Sprite. As the food warmed up in the microwave, she thought on what she'd just done. It still seemed a bit foolish, childish even maybe. But her head shook no as she inwardly scolded herself. You wanna learn? This is one way. And hell, it's safer than most other methods. Calm yourself. The abrupt ding the microwave made caused the poor girl to jump slightly. Her head shook as she opened the microwave, balancing the plate in one hand and the Sprite in the other. Yes, she was indeed a waitress and she often took her habits from work to her small efficiency. It wasn't a horrid place and at least had everything she needed. But getting an actual job, she had been realizing, was far more difficult than she'd expected. The state of the economy did anything but help. Her college education, however, was allowing for some rather promising opportunities. But as of late, she hadn't figured which exact route to go down, per se. While her degree was in Psychology, that didn't mean she had to immediately try being a shrink. She knew there were plenty of other jobs, like a criminal profiler. And gods help her, she was genuinely trying to figure herself out. But the lack of self-knowledge did make her begin to consider more a psychologist. If she could wind up helping others out, Shania would have little trouble doing the same with herself. Or at least that was what she hoped. Walking back in front of her laptop, she set the Sprite beside her and plate in her lap. The fork twirled around and grabbed some of the noodles, abruptly halting. Not only had it seemed someone noticed her, but sent her a Private Message? ... This is what you wanted. She reminded herself, clicking on it. As her eyes scanned over the words, it seemed like a harmless request. Then again, this was online. Everything always seemed safer here. Shania's head shook no once again as she took a deep breath. Though Shania lacked actually using forums, she did know how to do research rather well. Thus, she clicked on the user name and began searching his posts. There was a very recent one .. and what had gotten her attention the most wasn't his request to role play but that he wanted to involve Psychological aspects to it. This was .... almost too perfect. In fact, she pinched herself, causing a light wince to leave her lips. Nope. Not dreaming. Her heart was racing within her chest. Taking a small bite of her food first, she hit Reply and began to write back. To whom it may concern, I can give it a shot. But um .. please bear with me. I've never really done any of this, let alone role play before. I've been told what it means and how people usually go about it but never actually attempted it. I noticed you mentioned adding Psychology in them. I actually just got my Major in that rather recently. So I can work with that, somehow. Did you have any specifics ideas in mind? -Shania Double checking it once again, Shania hit the Send when she was satisfied with the message. Her hand began to tremble more and she had to grab it to keep it even slightly steady. Taking the plate, she resumed eating her pasta, assuming - hoping - it was just from hunger. Nothing's gonna happen. Stop being so stupid ... To help further calm herself, she pulled up a premade playlist and began listening to the music.
