Emo Corner: Open for Business!

Ever since the last podpop, there seemed to be a new addition to the obs deck. Nearly once a day, a certain brunette could be found huddled on one of the meatcouches and staring sadly in the general direction that all new arrivals came from.

She didn't know why she was still clinging to this.

Ophelia had explored the ship a little, but a combination of overwhelming unfamiliarity and a nagging feeling always drew her back to the same place on the obs deck to wait. She knew Eddie wasn't here, because he would have made his presence known by now if he was. She hadn't seen anyone else she knew yet, either. From what she had gathered, though, she knew there was a good chance all of her loved ones (and Lita) were in those... pod things, like she had been, and the ship seemed to let them out erratically. She also knew that they came from that huge cavern to this huge room.

What she didn't know was how often the ship let them out. She was pretty sure it wasn't every day, or even every week, since it seemed like a big event to the people who were already awake. But maybe there were some stragglers? Maybe today there would be more?

Maybe she was fooling herself because she didn't want to consider the alternative.

((OOC NOTE: Hi there. I meant to post this forever ago, but RL happened. So this can be bendytimed to any time since the last podpop I guess. 8D))

"Sorry?" The book hadn't even considered someone might feel that way. (It certainly hadn't been a common thread in his other interactions.) "Nothing to be sorry about. Sure, it sucks. But I'm not going to feel sorry for myself." There's a moment pause before the next sentence came out in something of a roar. "I'm going to MAKE the creatures responsible for this curse the cruel evolutionary forces that gave them the ability to feel pain! And then I am going to get my damn body and my damn Netherworld back!"

He gnashed his teeth in a really overblown display of furor for a moment, but since the Ohm weren't here to wail on and Ophelia hadn't been the one to make him mad, he calmed down fairly quickly.

"Better to be angry than mopey," Zetta said. "Better to DO something about the damn problem. There's nothing the damn Ohm or anything can throw at me that I can't handle."

Zetta let that sentence hang for a moment before he muttered, "Even if I have to get some help for the whole 'arms' thing."
