Lunamor

Strange that Jace was so cold. Cold, just like she was… Jenny backed up, suddenly nervous. Was whatever she had contagious? She pulled off a glove after having moved a suitable distance away. The color of her skin hadn’t increased or decreased in pallidity; her condition was unchanged, at least.

You can read people’s minds in an rp, I think that disqualifies it

Jenny dug a blanket out of her pack and handed it to Jace. ”Here. You can keep it.” Without much body heat of her own, she had no use for it anymore.

”I’m sorry I didn’t put you to sleep in time.” She didn’t make eye contact with Jace either.

“The risk.” Jenny didn’t sound scared or angry. Not even passionate. Just defeated. ”You’re right. We’re not worth it, are we?” She stood up and returned to her table, staring blankly forwards. @RoyalBeeMage

Jenny felt angry. Angrier than she should’ve been. She shut her eyes and grit her teeth. The cafe shook just slightly. A few cups were knocked over, silverware too close to a table’s edge tumbling to the floor. It would be so easy. The boy was just standing in the open. No one would miss him. Her eyes snapped open. What was she thinking? Jenny would never do that on purpose. But that hadn’t stopped her before… Terrance’s words echoed in her mind. It’s not worth the risk. Who was she of all people to tell him otherwise?

“He clearly cares about you. I don’t think you’ll make it worse.” Jenny turned back to him. Despite her harsh tone, she looked panicked. ”Do you think I have any more experience with this than you do? The first time I can remember comforting someone was about three days ago. You’ll never be able to help people if you never try.” Her eyes narrowed. ”I’m not sure you want to, though.”

His plan was to blame Jace and leave him to his terror. Jenny glared at him. ”That doesn’t mean you can’t be nice to him in the meantime. You can’t just leave someone to face these feelings alone.” She turned back to Jace, her voice lowering. ”I know how that feels.” Terrance… he wasn’t a very good person, was he?

Jenny continued to mouth her words. ”Comfort him or something!” Terrance wasn’t even bothering to try helping Jace. Did he just not care about others at all? Jace had been trying to help Terrance. He needed to at the very least try to return the favor.

“Jace?” Jenny carefully squatted down next to him. In addition to feeling awful for the poor guy, she worried about the large amount of attention he was drawing. In retrospect, the cafe wasn’t the greatest place to experiment with this sort of stuff. ”Can I do anything to help?” She looked over to Terrance and mouthed “Come help him!” Why was he just watching Jace like that when he was clearly hurting? @The Aspiring Archivist

Jenny nodded, then hesitantly pulled Timothy out of her bag. She stared it at for a second, then held the dog toy out to Jace. He probably needed it more than she did at the moment. ”He might help you calm down. Please don’t drop him.”

Was that a good gasp or a bad gasp? Jenny couldn’t read Jace’s expression at all. He hadn’t collapsed, so he was probably fine, but it was better to be safe than sorry. ”Um… do you want me to make you pass out still?”

“You got this, Terrance!” Jenny figured he needed some encouragement. His lack of trust seemed to extend to his own self. @RoyalBeeMage

I think you throw ‘em in the brig til they’re sober in the morning? TPBM watches the TV show Survivor.

Y’all don’t get to have my chicken dinners!

*appreciative win*

*just took a midterm and probably didn’t fail it win*

I drive ~30 minutes every day as part of my commute to school, but still am not great on the interstate. TPBM prefers apples to oranges.

Umm… ungodlyradioactivium? In that vein, what’s your favorite element?

I made it to the national level in a lego robot building competition when I was in middle school, I’m still pretty proud of that! TPBM doesn’t sit like a normal person does.

“Alright, ready when you are.” Jenny sat down, just in case the effort made her pass out. ”I may or may not fall unconscious from doing this, so I’m not sure how many times I can help you guys today.” @The Aspiring Archivist

“If things start looking really bad, do you want me to make you, Terrance, or both of you guys pass out?” Jenny was glad they’d decided to ask for her help with this. It was a good opportunity to practice using her powers on other people.
