"I could tell her, but there's just no telling her." Darcy dropped her eyes to the ground and stooped in a depressed posture. "It's not exactly a bed of roses for me, either."
"There you go, David." Sonya completed the bandaging. "I don't think there's any saving that mic pod, though."

<<< RECAP: Fabrizio really notices the presence of Shawn for the first time. Elke poses a bit of an interesting problem for everyone, but they manage to get her fed and squared away. Ebony, however, gets into another mood, much to the distress of a lot of folks, but especially Slaytor and Boost. She takes off to find another cave to get in trouble in! Kamui confronts Cesare outside town, and manages to vanquish him with her fan, but in the process almost loses control, and it takes Slick, Sonya and Huracan to bring her back down to Earth, and Slick's love and support to get her over this. Brandon continues to hang with Harley, and prove his reliabilty. David goes off to hunt for Cesare and Luke, and gets stung for his trouble. Welly engages in a little tormenting of the prisoners. Jake wakes up from a three-day sleep, fresh out of a nightmare about being stuck with his former boss. And Darcy is feeling rather down about Ebony's latest episode. Ebony, in the meantime, has apparently injured herself again... >>>

Meanwhile, Shawn was doing his best to occupy himself with his assigned task: painting the personal-electronics quarter of Zed's store. It was going okay, all things considered. He had started on it just after finishing off a ration of gas.
The overpowering smell of wet paint he was used to. The combination of itchiness and stinging sensation radiating from the bandaged bite? Not so much.
It was getting more and more difficult to ignore. He paused frequently to scratch or simply hold the worn gauze to the injury. It had become such a distraction he was considering tearing the dressing off just to see if he COULD see what it was that was making it complain so much.

Jas still seemed worried for Jake.
"I promise you I won't laugh or anything if you tell me," said Jas.
_____________________________________________
"But what if I go crazy like that again? I did get back in control.... but that.... I don't normally say this, but that was scary," Kamui sniffled.
She leaned in to Slick and curled up uneasily. She was still shaken by the entire experiance.
"I was just so angry at him...." Kamui muttered.

(((((OOC: And in other news, I still don't know what to do about Amber.)))))
Rosa had been listening to the whole thing reguarding Ebony. She knew that her agemate had run off again, what had set her off, and definately knew where Ebony had fled to so that she wouldn't be found. But that didn't mean that Rosa could follow her scent and locate her. The problem was, would Ebony have enough patience to listen.
~~~~~~~~~~
Ebony herself was still resting in the groove inside the cave. The ache had grown worse and had not likely put her in a good mood as of late. She was still terribly hurt by the incident at the diner and everyone's misunderstanding of why she was feeling like that. If anyone was out looking for her, Ebony would not make it easy for them.
She kept on crying.

Fabrizio listened, doing his best to keep his expression neutral. Seeing a worried face was infectious. It caused others to become distraught.
It was difficult not to look concerned. How many times did this make that Ebony had run off?
He had finished his Premium a while ago. Looking to his side, he could tell by Rosa's brooding expression that she was thinking this latest drama over.
"I'm guessing you have an idea where she's gone?" the Vector asked, fairly sure the Probe had the means of locating the black/purple Viper.

Rosa looked over at Fabrizio and nodded, "Yes I do. I know she doesn't like caves very much right now, but it's the only place where we could find her. I can track her down by scent. And I saw what happened between her and the new girl."
Watching the confrontation between Ebony and Elke was, Rosa knew, bound to cause some problems, but she didn't know how far Ebony would take it. Knowing that her agemate was suffering emotionally was of great concern to Rosa.

The ex-photographer had seen it, too. It was his opinion that the new girl, whatever her name, wasn't quite the norm. It was probably that difference that set off a spark igniting Ebony's temper.
"Do you want to go see where she's run to?" Fabrizio asked, poised to shift from park to drive. Memories of what happened last time he was in a cave were overriden by the need to assure himself Rosa's friend was okay... physically, that was. "Even if she doesn't want to see our faces, let alone talk, we'd at least know where she went."

(((And I'm awake.)))
Phoenix rolled out of the tent slowly, ignoring the look from Neil who had settled outside of the tent after the Luke incident. "Then come on what are we waiting for."

"I'd like to start out now," replied Rosa, "I have a definate idea where she's gone and I'm really worried about her."
Rosa already had Ebony's scent and she was ready to follow it to wherever Ebony was at the moment.
~~~~~~~~~~
Boost followed Phoenix out of the tent, determined to find his sister. All he wanted was for Ebony to be safe and still alive, although she was known to intentionally harm herself.
~~~~~~~~~~
Amber and General Lee, in the meantime, had also gone out to search the desert for Ebony, the former of the pair deciding that it wouldn't help her if she just sat around and moped all day. She wanted to do something to help, even if it was to help in the search.

Fabrizio nodded, tipping his visor over his eyes in the process, as was his custom whenever travelling. The silver sports car shifted forward from park to drive, assuming his second "cruising" gear.
"Lead the way. The rest will follow."

"'bout my ol' job," Jake sighed, sinking on his tires and looking rather sullen. "I ain't never been able t'sleep like that, 'specially not when I was workin' fer Chick... an' first thing't happens is I have a nightmare 'bout that scrapper." He grumbled grumpily. "Thanks fer stickin' around, Miss Jas..."
David frowned a bit, twitching his blades and glancing at Sonya. "I don't mind. I've still got one other pod, and besides, he didn't touch my cameras... and I had at least one rolling." He sighed, shifting a bit, frowning at the sting he still felt. "Ugh... what sort of sick person feels the need to do things like this just to feel better about themselves as a person?"
Harley smiled, although she was quiet the rest of the way into town. She gave her engine a contented rumble as she pulled into the diner, moving to a stall. The Miata twins, being teenagers, murmured back and forth over the new stranger: that was a girl with money, right there.
The Spyder glanced at them, then raised her visor and smiled, quietly ordering a green tea infusion.

Rosa nodded and drove out of the diner and then out of town, following the Viper's scent. Out in the desert was where it lead her. Not only was she following the scent, but she was heading toward the one place where she knew that Ebony would go.

Phoenix picked her way along to the diner catching a glimpse of Rosa and Fabrizio leaving town and head off into the desert. "Think Rosa's following her trail?" She asked Boost.

*Brandon rolled along with Harley, giving the spyder a smile, and he stayed by her as they drove into the diner, pulling into the opposite side of Harley's stall, and he watched the Miata Twins, and what she ordered sounded pretty good, so he ordered one for himself.*
