Slowly, robotically, and automatically, Janet found the cleanest water she could and began to wash. Her mind was carefully blank, locking away those emotions again even as she washed away the dirt and grime of the past several days. How many now? She had forgotten, already. 8? Or was it 9? She dress...

((Janet Binachi continued from The Stoner Always Dies. )) Janet was running on fumes. Exhaustion had begun to set in, affecting her cognitive functions. She had arrived at the swamp, which had been her intended target, she was sure, but she couldn't think of why. Something about water or something. ...

Jay started to say again how he didn't deserve it, but cut himself off. Janet stared at him, too tired to say anything. Emotional exhaustion was setting in. She didn't know if she could do it. This moment, this... it was almost too much, to have salvation denied to her. It was, well, exhausting. Jay...

((I apologize for the shortness of this post. I'm going through a ton of shit in my personal life, so I'm just gonna pound this out and not bother making it shiny.)) Janet stared at the ground again, listening to Hayley and Ema tell Jay to go. Yes. He needed to leave while he still had the chance. A...

((Janet Binachi continued from Everyday is Like Sunday .)) Janet was gladdened when Jay released her hand about ten minutes into their run. For one thing, having one hand pulled out in front of her killed her running rhythm, and for another, the physical contact was causing her some feelings of disc...

Janet could feel the tension build thick enough to be cut with a knife. Hayley and Charlene, throwing accusations and threats. Janet was shaking. What the hell? She didn't shake. Shaking was something... something... something Jay did. Not something she did. She stayed in her crouch, lower profile, ...

Janet let Ema walk away, as there was no point in trying to converse. What would they talk about? All Janet could think of was how her precious Psychological models had not predicted Hayley Kelly being capable of murder. It was such a weird thought to be having. Fortunately, they were eventually sav...

Janet stood off to the side as Jay and Hayley... reconnected. Of course, Janet was aware that Hayley was a bit dangerous, as she had appeared on the announcements multiple times already. When a name appeared more than once, it tended to penetrate her mind better than the spattering of onetime killer...

Janet walked along, lost in thought. It was a familiar thing. She enjoyed taking long walks to clear her mind. Unfortunately, here, her mind only became more muddled as time passed. Actually, Jay's blathering helped her mind clear slightly. His off-key singing, however, did not help her mood. She la...

((Janet Binachi continued from White Sparrows .)) For the first time in... several days, Janet found herself in a remarkably good mood. Maybe it was because she had not slept for about a day, and was currently at that point of tiredness where the world became much more amusing. If she had to diagnos...

((Edited my last post to say I was leaving. Nothing new to say on the matter.))

Janet jumped slightly as the boy crashed through the bushes. She moved back slightly as he tripped and spat-up. Jay recognized him, pointing frantically. Janet... really didn't care. He wasn't a threat. The others were more threatening to her and Jay, but.... "I think we should retreat. My pres...

Janet peered through the underbrush, trying to see something. She was aware of Jay sitting near her, mumbling something about food. This was no time to be thinking about one's stomach. She glanced a glare at him, then returned to her listening. "It sounds like some sort of reunion over there. T...

((Janet Binachi continued from "Grace" Under Pressure. )) Janet was not happy. This statement, by itself, was not overtly surprising. She was hardly happy even when she was back in the real world. Contented, maybe, but almost never "happy." Happiness had always been one of those ...

"Very well. We'll head in that direction."

With that short reply, Janet gathered her daypack and set off.

((Janet Binachi continued in White Sparrows))

((Short post is short and boring.))
