TM #221 - Wishing for Justice
ooc: This entry has a lot of filtering for who can know what. Hopefully it makes sense!
Basically most of you know the story of Bryce - my former friend who stole my girlfriend Jill and got me kicked out of Stanford. Anyway, I'm not exactly proud of myself, but sure, I wished something bad would happen to him a couple of times. He ruined my life with a lie, you know? I couldn't get a real job. Think any major Fortune 500 company or whatever would interview me when the background check came back saying I was expelled for cheating?
Hell no.
Part of me...well, kinda did want him to pay for what he did to me. I might have even thought the worse, you know? Maybe I had a couple fleeting moments where I wished he was dead.
But when Ellie brought me the article with Bryce's obituary, I wasn't sure how to feel. Part of me felt a tad guilty I guess, and a tad confused...but there wasn't any one real emotion.
[Locked to Sarah and Casey]
Of course at this point, I had recently heard that Bryce was a rouge agent and had stolen a database of government secrets and sent them to me. Thus adding to my confusion of how to take this. Plus...I knew the reason in the paper wasn't the truth. He wasn't a bank manager killed in a robbery attempt. But that was the story that was there. I mean, I know the real one couldn't be printed but, still.... [/unlocked]
Anyway, I went to Bryce's funeral. Maybe...maybe I thought I'd find some sort of closure, you know?
It was...strange being there. I stood at the back of the crowd. Part of me felt like I shouldn't be there but...at the same time, it did feel right.
I chalked that up to some semblance of closure.
[Locked to Sarah]
And then...there was that disk with my file on it. And I saw that Bryce framed me for cheating so I wouldn't get caught up in whatever that really dangerous Omaha Project was.
So...now I felt guilty. I hated Bryce for years for doing something I thought ruined my life in an effort to save it.
Then I sorta wished he was alive... [/unlocked]
[Locked to Casey and Sarah]
But it turned out he WAS alive. And he wasn't a rouge agent? He was attempting to save the data from a rogue agency called Fulcrum and...well you know all that. [/unlocked]
[Private]
Was everything I thought knew about Bryce wrong? I was beginning to wonder.
What next? He didn't really steal my girlfriend? I still think he really did steal Jill on purpose. Then seeing him with Sarah -
Okay, I know...Sarah is not really my girlfriend. And I know she was with Bryce before he broke into the Intersect. But...it was like, when I saw him, I had this thought like, 'He's stealing my girlfriend - AGAIN!'
Bad Chuck...especially going to that dark moment of hinting to Casey to go kick Bryce's sorry ass.
And then, I got to my senses and realized...Casey would kill Bryce!
Oh. Shit.
I didn't want that. So I ran to stop him. Luckily Bryce got away.
I mean...if anything happened to Bryce....it would have been all my fault...
I mean, the CIA did tell me his story checked out. And now Bryce has since gone deep to find out what Fulcrum wants with the Intersect. So, yeah, he's basically risking his life for me.
Though I wondered...did he want to take Sarah with him? Did she really want to go? She stayed but...she didn't seem too happy. Maybe she wanted to go but was ordered to stay.
I kinda wonder about that sometimes. [/unlocked]

On a lighter note. We haven't had an Evening With Morgan lately...this time maybe we can get to those fireworks..
ooc: The filters were fine, it still made sense.
I have thought about it but that is about it. I'm not even sure how to go about doing that other stuff. I am new to this RP business. Do you suggest it?

Maybe someday I'll get over what he did though.
*looks cheered up* This is true. We never did get to that. Maybe this time we'll be able to get our Sizzling Shrimp also!
ooc: Well, the prompt communities do take more commitment. The one I'm part of, Theatrical Muse, has you do at least 1 out of 4 prompts. (There's 1 prompt per week every week.) And each prompt response has to be a minimum of 150 words. It is a pretty fun way to meet other muses and stuff though. I like TM. Between this muse and the other one I write for, I've been there since October 2006.
RP communities are a bit more flexible. There's no minimum prompt response thing. The mods might ask that your character be in a thread every so often or something, but that's it really.
The RP one I'm part of, Shakeitup, is pure crack. Basically a bunch of characters from various fandoms are trapped in a world they can't leave and crazy stuff happens like dinosaurs randomly show up and bizarre weather and the next plotline is a massive earthquake. You meet a few muses that way too and it's crazy fun.
For both communities, you have to write a ficlet to apply for the character.
Let me know if you have any questions or anything. :)
