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

Shania Whitewater Shania had been practically bouncing on her bed while trying to wait for Eth --- Master Ethan's reply. That would definitely have to be something she'd need to get used to, including that new but still vital and important prefix. Her feet had tensed up as she considered grabbing seconds from the kitchen. But then that blessed sign in the envelope shape showed up again. A slight frown showed up but not from the choice of name. No, it'd been the request. She'd had similar acts asked from her before and it always made her so very nervous. But as her head glanced up in thought, she also remembered that was just random people who had found her screen name and tried to creep, stalk, - usually both - the young Native American. This .. was for an actual reason. She had sworn to prove herself in some form or fashion. And honestly, this had been one way she had suspected would be asked of her. The other was to actually let him hear her via Skype or something of the like. And though part of Shania preferred this Ethan hearing her first as opposed to seeing her, she wouldn't - couldn't - go back on her word. Not just because she'd promised him this but the young woman would be incredibly disappointed if she gave up now of all times. Exhaling softly, Shania moved away from her keyboard to turn more of the lights in her room on. Most were usually off, leaving little sources of light to fill the room. A low wince left as the abrupt change made her blink quickly to adjust her sight. Sitting back in front of her laptop, she minimized the browser page and pulled up her webcam. Thankfully, it could function as a camera also rather than only be used for recording. Most didn't have the ability to switch how they worked. It seemed ... silly to her but when the Native American saw herself, she frowned. If she was going to take a picture of herself, no way was her hair going to be so ... messy. It'd rained earlier prior to her returning from work and she hadn't realized how untame it now seemed. Reaching a hand over, she brushed the raven locks out, helping it look smoother and more natural. At least you got your shower in this morning .. After checking herself over, Shania took a deep breath and managed to make a nervous but at least genuine smile cross her face. Holding up three fingers as instructed with her left hand, her right moved the mouse as it clicked a button on the lower right corner, activating her camera mode. After a quick click and flash, she knew the picture had been taken. To the right of the webcam were all the other pictures she'd taken of herself. Most were just for the hell of it but all were old and taken from years ago. More than that, none had her complying with the order of holding up three fingers. Clicking and pulling the picture up, Shania leaned forward and carefully viewed it. It ... wasn't her best but it sure as hell wasn't her worst, either. Pulling up a new tab, she logged into her own e-mail. Moving to the role playing site, she copied and pasted Ethan's address and placed it in the Sender box. She glanced at the Subject for a few moments before typing in From Nothing. The e-mail would read as follows Master Ethan, I hope this pleases you. But alas, here I am . -Nothing Clicking Send on the e-mail tab, she switched back over to the role play site. Swallowing softly, Shania began to type a new PM to Ethan in response. Master Ethan, It should be arriving in mere minutes if not sooner. But I just sent the picture off as you requested. I hope you like it. -Nothing A long sigh left Shania's lips as she hit Send on the PM tab, her heart almost feeling like it wanted to leap out of her chest. It was all but racing a mile a minute if not second. Her own adrenaline rush was swimming through her body. She was astonished, amazed at what she'd just done. But more than that, the poor Native American was ... proud? Content? Those were the right words to explain the sensations going through her but ... why? She could only think of one thing and it was simple in concept. She really had wanted this. It just had never dawned on her how much ... not until now.
