WE CAN BE NEW

[empathetics]

Who: Jasper and Alice
When: Backdated to January 8th
Where: Alice's loft
Summary: Jasper died. Alice couldn't take being invunerable and had herself voided. Now it's time for a human reunion.
Warnings: Nothing major. Will update if needed.

[With the abruptness and lack of details in Alice's response to his network post, Jasper is left assuming the worst. And with his track of mind, that isn't always the best thing.

So he rushes to her (well isn't it technocally their) loft, taking the steps up to it two at a time. It's only then that he realizes he doesn't have keys on him and is left knocking at the door.

That alone worries him. Shouldn't she have seen him coming? Wouldn't her senses have picked up on his labored breathing and thudding heart?

He remembers their conversation back when he was first turned human. That if it wasn't righted she would have the same done to her. Jasper hopes she hadn't chosen it as an escape.]

[Ever since everyone returned to 2013, Alice has been living what she assumes might be unhealthy for a human. She barely eats or goes out, electing to stay in bed and submitting herself to the only relief she has, sleep.

Sleep, she's found, is a wonderful thing. It's like her visions almost, a time when she's absent from the world outside and in an entirely different place. Unfortunately, what she sees in her sleep- Jasper, mostly, live and well and loving her- isn't the future. Dreams are just dreams after all.

When Jasper makes his post, of course she assumes she's dreaming again. However, when it becomes clear it's no dream, she still can't believe it. People come back from the dead here, she knows all too well, but this seems to fantastic. She isn't completely convinced until she hears the knock, sees him on the other side of the door.

For the first time in a very, very long time, she'd speechless.

Alice looks horrible, though she really doesn't care. The pale skin and dark circles under her eyes are present now, as they always have been, but here they make her look sickly and weak. Her hair is a mess, and for the first time in her entire life, she's wearing sweatpants. That alone should be the biggest red flag.]
