CHARACTERS: Eponine, Laura and Selina, also you.
LOCATION: All around the place.
WARNINGS: tbd
SUMMARY: catch-all for July!
NOTES: Write your own starter, plurk me or PM me for one, whatever floats your boat! This is super bare-bones to begin with as I assume more will come later.


For the first part of the month, before the jump, Eponine can be found laid up in the med bay, a result of her being, well, herself. Later on, she'll be focusing on trying not to manifest bottles of wine at every opportunity. It takes a lot of work to not be drinking all the time. Not to mention, there's a lot of trying to sort her relationship with Combeferre out. Happy anniversary?

Laura, for her part, can be mostly found in comms working. When she's not there, she's taken to jogging again to keep her health up. Additionally, she's planning a dinner for all of her lovely Colonials. It's about time they had some sort of celebration, don't you think?

As for Selina? She's getting into trouble, figuring out all she can about the Gotham that most people here seem to be familiar with, and oh, right, at target practice. Thanks for the gun, Dean. You are extremely missed.

"I am sorry to hear that," she has to say. That's proper decorum, she's learning. For most of her life, social cues were abandoned in favor of anything you could do to get money, to get food. Such a life, such awful conditions and no one to care about her had turned what had been a beautiful girl, full of life, into a hideous monster of the streets, all teeth and nails. But here, she was softening, allowing herself to be vulnerable.

But even that had gone far beyond her control. The abject horror on Michel's face... The pitying way he looked at her...

"Murphy, hello. I am Eponine."

"Don't be. It's not always sunny here, but I've at least got people I can call friends and family."

Which is more than what Murphy can say he has back home. But he can understand where Eponine is coming from when it comes to niceties. Between the orphanage, the divorce after his son's death, prison and the things that happened to him there... It took a long time for Murphy to remember how to behave around people again.

But he can behave. He can be nice. Hell, he's not even as much of a bumbling idiot like he used to be.

"Ah, Eponine." That's an interesting name. Never heard that one before. Definitely foreign. "Nice to meet you. And, er, thanks for the recommendation."

That, at least, is good news. She tends to get worse around bumbling idiots. Especially if they're well-meaning and painfully awkward.

"You are welcome, Murphy." She smiled at him still, wavering slowly from side to side, as if her body was trying to decide for her what to do.
