[b]Keri is walking around Neo-Centra, when she trips on her hair.[/b]
Oh crap.
[b]She face plants.[/b]
Ow.
English
-
In case you need someone to talk to.
-
"Alright. Mind if I ask what the mask is for?"
-
I'm hiding a past.
-
[b] He rolls his eyes.[/b] "Wearing a mask doesn't hide anything but your face."
-
My face is a doorway to my past.
-
"No, you're face is a face. With eyes and a nose and a mouth. It has nothing to do with your past. Seriously, whys everyone so damn depressing."
-
[b]Sudden realization sets into her eyes.[/b] Do you want me to take it off?
-
"Not if you have some code against it or something. It's your choice, but no, I wouldn't mind seeing your face."
-
Okay. [b]She reaches her hands up to the strap on the back of her mask. She slowly lowers it off of her face. It reveals a gorgeous young woman, strikingly beautiful.[/b]
-
[b] Lance smiles.[/b] "Why the hell would you want to hide a face like that?"
-
I don't know. It seemed like I had to. I'm glad to take it off.

-
Woah. What happened?
-
"My house was burned to the ground by arsonists, and I lost my parents in the fire, I escaped with these as a parting gift. We've all got pasts Keri, you aren't the only one. Don't feel bad."
-
After seeing your scars I have nothing to hide.
-
"What do you mean?" [b] He says as he pulls the shirt back over his head.[/b]
-
Realizations come fast. That's what I mean. I need to look towards the future, not the past.
-
[b] He grins.[/b] "I agree."
-
I can tell. You have clearly known this for a while.
-
"Yeah. You can say that. I've learned to roll with the punches. Looking into the past won't do you any good. And can I offer some advice?"
-
Sure.
-
"I know a certain cyber merchant who does really good work. He could probably get you a new set of eyes, and they would look extremely real. And, you could still wear the mask your ever so in love with." [b] he grins [/b]
-
I might look into that.
-
"I'll even pay for them." [b] He smiles as he writes the address down on a piece of paper and gives it to her.[/b]
-
[b]She takes the paper.[/b] Thank you so much.
