Tamar~

Bluebird freezes. She bites her lip, slides her fingers nervously down the shaft of her arrow. Arista looks at her expectantly, crossing her arms. 

"I-I…" Bluebird hesitates. "I don't…remember much. I don't really remember anything specific, actually."

Arista frowns. "There's got to be something."

"Well, I remember the word Sunshiner. I guess… maybe I was a part of the group? I really don't know. I barely even remember my own name, and I'm not sure it really is my own." Bluebird shrugs, curls up tighter. It doesn't seem like she's deliberately covering anything up, but I'm definitely sure she's not comfortable with the subject. 

"Looks like the sandwiches are ready," I say, breaking the awkward silence. I hand the first one to Bluebird, who takes it gratefully, but doesn't eat yet. She must be hungry, but I guess maybe she's just lost in thought. Luci gets the next one, and she eagerly bites into the soft bread and cheese. When I hand one to Addie, she passes it to Zain, so I give her another. Arista takes one with a curt nod, and Danie starts chowing down on hers immediately. I take the last one, eating it slowly as I watch the others. Arista looks like she doesn't trust Bluebird at all. Danie and Luci don't look concerned at the three new members of our group. Addie and Zain sit close together, eating, chatting, and laughing. I guess they're old friends or something. Bluebird sits with her back against the wall, her bow leaning against the wall next to her, and her quiver under her hand. It's like she expects an attack.

Ohhh poo sorry that post was not meant to go on here, ignore it completely!

I'm pretty much stuck aganist a wall (not literally), and I don't know what to write.

Jesse~

I open my eyes. I'm in a dark room. What had…? Oh, that's right. I was captured.

I hear someone squirming next to me. It's Neyna. She's tied to the wall with ultravolet rays. And so am I. Shoot. 

Kija *NOT ISHI! JUST SO YOU REMEMBER*~

I sigh. i can't spend the rest of my life in my room waiting for a message from Ishi. I decide to go outside for a bit.

I leave a note taped to the tabcomputer in the kitchen, sling my backpack over one shoulder, and get my bike from the garage. The news reports said there were some mobs in the city center. It's probably gone by now, but just in case… at the crossroads, I don't turn towards the main streets but instead to the outskirts of town. Barely anyone lives there — it's where a lot of the utilities and warehouses are. It's not unsafe, though — I've been there a few times and the neighborhood looks really nice and clean — almost as nice as the areas around the library. The road has a smooth cement bike path that I follow. 

I meander through the streets. Most of the warehouses look nice, with plugins for electric vehicles out in front and nice landscaping. But this one… I put down my bike's brake, staring at a giant steel warehouse. It looks like it wasn't totally finished — there's a shell of metal around the beams, but through the glassless windows I can see it's not finished inside. It kind of looks interesting. I take my camera out of my backpack — maybe I can photograph something cool! — and lock my bike into a stand. 

*So my idea is that Kija finds some of the men in black who kidnapped Jesse and Nenya. And then they tell her (gently, so she doesn't get suspicious) to leave, and as she's walking out, she finds the two cyborgs. Dun dun dun!*

Ishi~

Obviously, there's nothing I can do in the alley. I run as fast as I can back to the library. One of the male human librarians, Roderic, is pacing the floor. 

"She… I must… she… find her…" he's muttering.

"Roderic," I tell him. "The two new librarians — the ones you saw — are missing. It may be the mob. Can you help me?" 

….You go ahead. My brain is dead. I can't think of anythin'!
