Room 406, Late afternoon/early evening

[izzyalienqueen]

Sunday afternoons were meant for being lazy and not accomplishing anything too important. Isabel is sprawled across her bed, because sitting? So not an option right now. Which is part of the reason she's in her room, bouncing in public is a bit embarrassing.

She's contemplating a selection of nail polish colors, trying to figure out which color she's in the mood for this week. Not that it really mattered, she could always change them easily enough, but it's still nice to sit and do something girly and perfectly normal.

"Apparently there's a war, and they're enslaved. We were killed and that's when they took our essence, whatever that is, and combined it with the human DNA. We were sent here to learn to use our powers in order to go back and save them." She pushed to her feet and paced again, instantly frustrated, just like she always was when she talked about it.

"It's insane and makes no sense. We don't know where we're supposed to go, how we're supposed to get there. Why did it take almost 40 years for us to come out of the pods..." She laughed bitterly, "And I haven't even mentioned the part about my betrothed husband."

"Time out!" Parker put her hands to her head. "Enslaved. And it's been forty *years*? Is there even going to be a planet left, at this point? And that is the stupidest plan in the history of stupid plans. And you're talking to someone who's been dealing with Bel all semester." Parker took a long breath. "Okay, skipping that part-- husband?"

"Thank you! That's my point exactly! And it's why I refused to follow Max on this stupid quest to find out more information. After everything that happened last year, you'd think he'd want to keep a low profile for a while." She shook her head, "But no, he knows best and he's determined to find out more."

"And yes, a husband. Tess was, is, Max's bride. And Michael? The guy I've treated like a second brother for then years? Is my betrothed husband. That's a level of squick I cannot even describe." Isabel stopped and put her face in her hands, rubbing her eyes, before looking up and continuing. "That's why I left. I couldn't deal with Max's quest, and Michael, despite the fact that he's completely in love with someone else, was insisting that we needed to spend time together because that's the way things were supposed to be."

"Idiots. Male idiots." Parker sighed. "I'd want to know more, but if your brother was being pushy about it, I can see how a break would be necessary. And betrothal-- ick. A galaxy of ick. Jesus. You're only sixteen? Seventeen? And it's too weird to contemplate." Her eyes narrowed as she processed the first part of what Isabel had said. "What happened last year?"
