Regan and Kay's Room: The Maldon Murals

"Right," Regan says, "I'm sure you're soulmates. That's why I've just heard about her today."

"Give me a break."

by **Kay Haddock** » Wed Mar 06, 2013 11:00 pm

"Yeah well maybe I don't like to talk about crushing on one of my best friends to everybody! I'm sure I mentioned her plenty of times!"

by **Regan Rourke** » Wed Mar 06, 2013 11:09 pm

Regan looked almost hurt for a moment. Her expression quickly went blank and emotionless though.

"Fine. I'm happy for you. It's great you finally found someone who can stand kissing a cold fish," Regan says.

by **Kay Haddock** » Wed Mar 06, 2013 11:14 pm

"You know, you really can be an ass sometimes!"

by **Regan Rourke** » Wed Mar 06, 2013 11:22 pm

"And you look like Ariel fucked the Creature From the Black Lagoon," Regan says, glaring at Kay, "So, I guess personality is more important when it comes to dating."

by **Kay Haddock** » Wed Mar 06, 2013 11:24 pm

"Well good fucking luck then, Regan!" she glares back and picks up her laptop, getting ready to head out.

by **Regan Rourke** » Wed Mar 06, 2013 11:29 pm

"Good luck to you too," Regan says, "I give it a week before she comes to her senses. Finds someone that doesn't smell like the docks."

by **Kay Haddock** » Wed Mar 06, 2013 11:32 pm

"How would you even know how anything smells!" she cries and storms out, slamming the door behind her.

Regan throws her sketchbook at the wall. Instead of hitting the wall, it just drifts through.

Little ghost, little ghost! Come out and play with us!

Regan rubs her temples, sniffing as she fights back tears.

"Hope you're happy," Regan mumbles.

((Sometime after her adventure with Victoria))

Regan works on the mural. Right now she's just measuring and marking off areas, but it looks like she's getting ready to paint.

by **Kay Haddock** » Sun Mar 10, 2013 1:17 pm

The alarm rings and Kay sleepily rolls herself out of bed. It takes her a couple moments that Regan is there too and when she does she immediately does her best to be quiet and maybe grab her things to slip out and head to the showers without having to deal with the angry ghost.

by **Regan Rourke** » Sun Mar 10, 2013 1:29 pm

Regan spots Kay moving in her peripheral vision and looks over, "Trying to sneak away?"

"Don't worry. I don't have anything else to say about your pathetic love life."

by **Kay Haddock** » Sun Mar 10, 2013 1:34 pm

"Just trying to stay out of your way..." she mumbles, glancing at what Regan is doing to see if she can tell what she wants to paint.

by **Regan Rourke** » Sun Mar 10, 2013 1:45 pm

It's hard to tell, but it looks like Regan is planning on some sort of beach setting.

"Yeah, I wonder how I could've possibly thought you were too passive to reject Theresa," Regan says, "You obviously are so willing to confront your problems."

by **Kay Haddock** » Sun Mar 10, 2013 1:50 pm

"Oh fuck off, Regan. Oh look at me, I've been here two weeks and I already pissed off everyone. Yeah, you got it all figured out."

by **Regan Rourke** » Sun Mar 10, 2013 2:00 pm

"What if I did?" Regan says bitterly, "They all deserved it."

by **Kay Haddock** » Sun Mar 10, 2013 2:05 pm

"Oh yeah, totally. My bad for being nice to you. But go ahead, be the bitch you wanna be if you think that'll make you happy."

by **Regan Rourke** » Sun Mar 10, 2013 2:10 pm

"Nice?" Regan snaps, turning around with an angry look on her face, "You were only nice to me because I hurt the people you didn't like! The minute I so much as said jack about you, you threw me away like garbage."

"I was never even your friend! I was just your attack dog! Your proxy to say and do the things you couldn't, you pathetic, useless, passive-aggressive bitch!"

As Regan ranted, she didn't even notice she was starting to cry.

by **Kay Haddock** » Sun Mar 10, 2013 2:20 pm

"The fuck are you even talking about? No one asked you to fight any battles for me, but good job getting me shit on for your painting. I'm done sticking up for you. Not that you care anyway, you want everyone to hate you anyway cause it's so much easier to just be miserable."

by **Regan Rourke** » Sun Mar 10, 2013 2:35 pm

"Yeah, you just encouraged me, didn't you?" Regan says, "That way you get to sit back and laugh at them and still be completely innocent."

"'We should totally get back at Haley,'" Regan says, mocking Kay's voice, "'Whhhhat? Regan did something mean to you? Well, I didn't have anything to do with that. It was all her.'"

"Some fucking friend."

by **Kay Haddock** » Sun Mar 10, 2013 2:48 pm

"Whatever. I gotta go or I'll be late for class."

by **Regan Rourke** » Sun Mar 10, 2013 2:51 pm

"Good," Regan says, "I'm sick of talking with you anyway."

by **Kay Haddock** » Sun Mar 10, 2013 2:57 pm

Kay slams the door behind her.

((After the talk with Steve))

Regan returned to the room, looking at the mural for awhile. After a bit, she started working on it, reworking quite a bit of her design. She had always felt better when she was painting. She thought better when she was painting.

As she worked, she thought about Kay. She thought about what Calvin had said, what she had talked with Steve about. She thought about what Sam, Nailah, and Victoria had all tried to tell her. She thought about the scared little boy she had tried to protect and the demon girl in Limbo she had betrayed.

She wondered what the hell she was doing.

After a few hours, you could start to see the outline of the mural. She was painting the characters from Kay's comic in the middle of a Day of the Dead celebration on a sunny beach with a crowd of skeletons. Bridget was playing against an entire team of skeletons in a game of beach volleyball (and winning handily), Bailey had apparently stolen a cooler and was running from some annoyed looking skeletons, Stephan had been dressed in a large sombrero and looked annoyed at the whole thing, and Kaylee was grabbing Tessa by the hand and pulling her towards the water where in the distance a skeletal whale was surfacing.

Regan frowned, starting to mix together some more paints.

by **Kay Haddock** » Sun Mar 17, 2013 12:38 pm

Kay has been doing her best to stay away from her room to avoid running into Regan, but she can't stay away forever. When she steps inside and sees the mural though she has to tell herself she's not dreaming. She'd mentally prepared herself for the worst but now she's literally speechless at Regan's interpretation of her comic.

by **Regan Rourke** » Sun Mar 17, 2013 1:03 pm

Regan glances over at Kay.

"...Hey," Regan says.

by **Kay Haddock** » Sun Mar 17, 2013 1:08 pm

"That... I... that's not what I expected you'd paint..."

by **Regan Rourke** » Sun Mar 17, 2013 1:11 pm

"Probably not," Regan says.

"...Look. I was a real shit to you," Regan says, "I know it doesn't make up for anything, but I'm sorry."

by **Kay Haddock** » Sun Mar 17, 2013 1:13 pm

"Yeah, you kinda were..." she says, maybe a little hesitant to believe Regan entirely. "But thanks."

by **Regan Rourke** » Sun Mar 17, 2013 1:28 pm

"Yeah...no problem," Regan says awkwardly, fiddling with her painbrush, "And...I don't have a problem with you dating Theresa. Or anything like that. I mean...I..."

"Christ," Regan says, rubbing the bridge of her nose in frustration. This was not easy, "I was just jealous, okay?"

by **Kay Haddock** » Sun Mar 17, 2013 2:25 pm

"You... what? Jealous?"

by **Regan Rourke** » Sun Mar 17, 2013 2:45 pm

Oh, just kill me now.

"It's hard to explain," Regan says, "I mean...jealousy pretty much covers the whole...y'know...gamut of shitty emotions."

by **Kay Haddock** » Sun Mar 17, 2013 2:50 pm

"O...okay? It's not like I can't be your friend just cause I'm dating Resa."

by **Regan Rourke** » Sun Mar 17, 2013 2:57 pm

"What? No. I mean, yeah...that was sort of mixed in there," Regan says, babbling a bit, "But I mean, it was...like...all sorts of things. And stuff. Like, I'm dead and then there's this whole history of what happened back home and I know you were just being friendly but...I kind of has this whole stupid thing where I kind of just crush on people at the drop of a hat."

Regan stops, "...I'm not making any sense right now."

by **Kay Haddock** » Sun Mar 17, 2013 3:07 pm

"Not even a little bit, no."

by **Regan Rourke** » Sun Mar 17, 2013 3:10 pm

Regan sighs, pulling her hood over her head, "Yeah, I figured as much."

"Look. I'll just throw it out there. I had-slash-have a crush on you," Regan says, "Sorta. It's complicated."

by **Kay Haddock** » Sun Mar 17, 2013 3:15 pm

"Very funny." she chuckles.

by **Regan Rourke** » Sun Mar 17, 2013 3:25 pm

Regan just kind of looks at the ground, twisting the paintbrush in her hand. She looks like she's trying to disappear into her hoodie.

by **Kay Haddock** » Sun Mar 17, 2013 3:31 pm

"You... you're not joking?"

by **Regan Rourke** » Sun Mar 17, 2013 3:50 pm

"I don't know," Regan says, exasperated, "I mean, no. I'm not joking. I did think I had a crush on you. But...I don't know...."

"...I have a bad history of 'falling in love' with my friends," Regan says, finger quoting, "Y'know?"
