Regan hovered in front of the wall she was going to paint, sketching out some design ideas on her sketchpad.

Posted: **Sun Mar 03, 2013 3:56 pm**

"Got anything cool in mind?" Kay asks from where she's lieing on her bed, looking up from her laptop.

Posted: **Sun Mar 03, 2013 3:59 pm**

"Yeah, a whole lotta nothing," Regan says with a sigh, "How's you comic coming?"

Posted: **Sun Mar 03, 2013 4:01 pm**

"Okay I guess. Still catching up on prettying up the archive but I'm almost done."

Posted: **Sun Mar 03, 2013 4:05 pm**

"Awesome," Regan says, "How do you feel about murals of people on fire?"

Posted: **Sun Mar 03, 2013 4:07 pm**

She makes a face. "Please don't paint something super brutal on the wall..."

Posted: **Sun Mar 03, 2013 4:11 pm**

"You're right," Regan says, "Too commercial."

Posted: **Sun Mar 03, 2013 4:18 pm**

"Seriously, I don't wanna go to bed with blood-splatter looming on the wall." she chuckles.

Posted: **Sun Mar 03, 2013 4:20 pm**

"Just don't sleep," Regan says with a small grin, "That's what I do."

Posted: **Sun Mar 03, 2013 4:24 pm**

"I don't think I can do that. Hard enough to stay awake in class sometimes."

Posted: **Sun Mar 03, 2013 4:26 pm**

"You should hit up Scary Spice then," Regan says, "Apparently she's dealing."

Posted: **Sun Mar 03, 2013 4:28 pm**

"Yeah, the hell was up with that? She had, like, half a pharmacy in her purse."

Posted: **Sun Mar 03, 2013 4:31 pm**

"If I had to guess? Daddy issues," Regan says, "At least, that's what I'd guess by the way she dresses."

Posted: **Sun Mar 03, 2013 4:35 pm**

"Where does she even get that stuff?"

Posted: **Sun Mar 03, 2013 4:39 pm**

"Probably a shady doctor," Regan says, "It's safer to have an actual prescription then to go shopping around for that sort of stuff."

Posted: **Sun Mar 03, 2013 4:46 pm**

"I'm just not gonna ask how you know that."

Posted: **Sun Mar 03, 2013 4:47 pm**

"Yeah, that's probably for the best," Regan says.

Posted: **Sun Mar 03, 2013 4:54 pm**

"Hey, uhm... can I ask you something?"

Posted: **Sun Mar 03, 2013 5:00 pm**

"Shoot," Regan says.

Posted: **Sun Mar 03, 2013 5:04 pm**

"How come you don't like talking about what happened before you died? It's okay if you don't wanna say! Just... you seem so sad all the time."

Posted: **Sun Mar 03, 2013 5:10 pm**

"There's nothing to talk about," Regan says, "Life was awful and then it was over. The end."

Posted: **Sun Mar 03, 2013 5:18 pm**

"Okay... Is that why you don't wanna try to get in touch with, like, the real world again?"

Posted: **Sun Mar 03, 2013 5:27 pm**

"Pretty much," Regan says, "Everyone here thinks that I'm frustrated or angry about losing my old life. I'm not. I had no friends, my parents were so hands-off they were pretty much absent, my siblings thought I was a freak, and I was constantly being harassed and shit on by everyone in my old school."

Posted: **Sun Mar 03, 2013 5:32 pm**

"Old lifes suck. But don't you want a new life?"

Posted: **Sun Mar 03, 2013 5:40 pm**

"I can't have a new life," Regan says, perhaps a bit more sharply then she intended, "I'm dead."

"Apparently, I'm the only one willing to accept that."

Posted: **Sun Mar 03, 2013 5:46 pm**

"If you were entirely dead you'd be gone. In heaven or wherever."

Posted: **Sun Mar 03, 2013 5:50 pm**

"You're right. I totally can build a new life for myself," Regan says, "Maybe I'll fall in love with someone I can't touch. That'd be great."

Posted: **Sun Mar 03, 2013 5:59 pm**

"Maybe you can learn how to touch things again... When Aisha first came to the school she was entirely invisible. Now you can see her sometimes!"

Posted: **Sun Mar 03, 2013 6:09 pm**

"Do you think that they can teach you how to look normal?" Regan snaps, "You're awfully goddamn hopeful when it comes to other people's problems. Why don't you try solving your own first?"

Posted: **Sun Mar 03, 2013 6:13 pm**

"Cause I can't!" she says, fighting back the tears. "Cause I'll never go back to looking normal, no matter how many people tell me I look just fine!"

Posted: **Sun Mar 03, 2013 6:22 pm**

Regan winces, looking away from Kay for a moment.

"...God damn it," Regan says, floating over to the girl, "Kay. I'm sorry."

Posted: **Sun Mar 03, 2013 6:26 pm**

"Yeah well you're right..." she sniffs, pulling her knees up to her chest. "Maybe I just wanna be happy for everybody else cause I can't be happy for myself."

Posted: **Sun Mar 03, 2013 6:40 pm**

Regan "sits" next to Kay, looking awkward.

"I...I'm scared, Kay," Regan says, "When you start talking about even having the chance at being able to touch stuff? It scares me a lot. Because if I get my hopes up and it all falls through, I don't think I can handle it."

Posted: **Sun Mar 03, 2013 6:50 pm**

"But what if you could and you just never try?" she sniffs, glad to tackle someone else's problem instead of her own.

Posted: **Sun Mar 03, 2013 6:55 pm**

"That'd suck," Regan admits, "But...I think I'd rather find some way to be happy with the way I am then just hope that things will change."

Posted: **Sun Mar 03, 2013 7:09 pm**

"Isn't that hard? What if it doesn't work..." she says, probably not talking about Regan's situation alone.

Posted: **Sun Mar 03, 2013 7:31 pm**

"I don't know," Regan says, "I'm not exactly full of answers, Kay. In case you haven't noticed, I'm kind of fucked up. And I'm actually probably worse off than you actually realize."

Regan leans her head on Kay's shoulder, sighing.

"...How about this," Regan says, "We obviously don't like ourselves very much. So, I'll have confidence in you and you can have confidence in me. At least until we figure things out."

Posted: **Sun Mar 03, 2013 7:39 pm**

"O-okay..."

"You're not that fucked up anyway. You're just kind of an ass sometimes." she jokes weakly. "And it's not like I wanna be down on myself. I just don't know how to be happy with myself. It's so much easier to be happy for others."

Posted: **Sun Mar 03, 2013 8:52 pm**

"I'm plenty fucked up, trust me," Regan mumbles.

"It'll come. I think," Regan says, "Just try thinking about something else if you start feeling bad or something. I don't know."

"Maybe remember that you're awesome," Regan says, "I mean, no matter what else, you're nice, you're loyal to your friends, and you're prettier than you seem to think you are."

Posted: **Sun Mar 03, 2013 8:54 pm**

"Okay, okay. But you realize that means I'm not giving up on you, right?"
