(OOC: I'm going to be in North Carolina and away from internet access until Friday, so I'll see you all then.) Aiko’s alarm went off for the second time, and for the second time she was awake long before it rang. She had it set originally for 0730, since she had made plans to go birding a local hotspot with some friends. Unfortunately, everybody canceled on her the night before because of a front moving in. Aiko didn’t really trust the weatherman, but all she had to do was go outside and feel the wind on her face to know that rain was coming. Her powers had grown significantly stronger and more refined in the two years since the incident with the NSA. She was much better at detecting even the slightest patterns in otherwise chaotic surroundings. Jigsaw puzzles, sudoku, and many of her favorite games were simply no longer challenging to her, and subjects she had once struggled in she could do without even trying. Calculus, statistics, all the horrific math courses she had taken as an undergrad and nearly failed were child’s play to her now. She wasn’t complaining. Not at all. While the ability to see patterns in nothing had its drawbacks (a particularly bad car accident she had anticipated but had no power to stop came to mind), her newfound strengths had earned her quite a positive reputation nationwide among wildlife biologists. She’d been working hard on her career even before the Reality’s Exile incident occurred, but now she had a real gift when it came to understanding how nature worked, and she was even more marketable. After successfully completing her PhD, Aiko was hired within 3 months by a private consulting agency in New York. She was extremely happy because not only did it pay really good, but she was only a couple of hours away from her parents’ house too. Aiko sat on her bed with an overly large yawn. She’d been awake for a couple of hours already, but too lazy to get out of bed. She turned off her alarm and looked out the window. At least it stopped raining. She ambled around for a little bit, undecided about what to do, but finally figured the weather had improved enough to at least make a stab at birding. She got dressed, gathered her camera, binoculars, and spotting scope, and walked downstairs. She was slipping her boots on when she heard footsteps on the porch outside. Not expecting company, Aiko stood on her toes to look through the peephole (dang things were made for people who were six feet plus, she swore). Her lips spread into a wide smile when she saw who was standing there, looking a bit insecure. She laughed quietly under her breath at how cute his expression was. She wondered what he wanted and decided to play the role of the ignorant. Gathering up her gear, she made sure that she seemed even more loaded with equipment than she really was. Her backpack was slung over her lower arm, her keys were in her opposite hand, and the spotting scope was resting on its tripod over her shoulder. She struggled to open the doorknob, then once the door started sliding open she helped it along with the toe of her boot. She looked up at Zack with a perfectly believable expression of surprise. “Zack! Hey! Good morning, what’s up?” |
