"Oh. Yes. Um, I'll do that too." She was never careful in general.

To be honest, she already has.

"Okay. ...thank you."

RW: You see

RW: And you were unable to stop her

RW: You wouldn't want her to ruin Ivory would you

2015-07-15 04:01:40

●

"Mhmm, you make sure to be careful as well, too."

Well...what could I even do?

2015-07-15 04:02:28

🌀

"I will, of course." So long as he didn't break an elevator or something.

RW: I'm sure you're perfectly capable of interfering if you just tried

RW: If she's ever separated from that gun of hers you could take that

2015-07-15 04:04:01

"Good. I don't think Cale would take it well if something were to happen to you."

I'm um...against gun use.

2015-07-15 04:07:32

🌀

"No, probably not. He would likely blame you as well, so there is that."

RW: I didn't say you had to use it

RW: Just take it

RW: So /she/ can't use it

"Zane, he would blame me if his car keys were missing."

Then how is she going to kill Brielle?

2015-07-15 04:15:48

"...if we had a car. But, yes, that is unfortunately true."

RW: The gun doesn't cross over into the real world I would hope so it wouldn't matter anyway

RW: Unless she leaves instead of using Ivory in which case it still wouldn't matter because she'd inevitably end up with it

RW: But this way

RW: She can't make any more mental holes~

RW: In you or their heads

"Or if I was allowed near cars."

"Mom, can't you spend some time to teach me to drive?"

"No Ivory, I'm too busy to ever teach you to drive. You're 16. You have a permit. Get one of your friends to do it. Prove to them you're not too dumb to teach."

Ivory stood in front of Cassandra's car, the only person who would even give her a chance at driving. She climbed into the driver's seat, and put her her seat belt on. Slowly she started the car, put it in gear, and pushed on the gas, the car coming to life with a lurch.

:"GENTLY IVORY! I swear to God if you wreck my car, I will slap the shit out of you."

Nervously, she /gently/ pushed on the gas again. It was only a few minutes before Cassandra was yelling again.

"GO FASTER! Oh my /God/! DON'T STOP TOO QUCIKLY! NO DON'T TURN LIKE THAT! I SAID GO FASTER! Oh my God. Pull over. PULL OVER RIGHT NOW DAMMIT!"

She pulled over. Cassandra shut the car off. "Get the fuck out of my driver's seat, and don't ever touch anyone car again."

2015-07-15 04:27:25

🌀

This Cassandra person. She couldn't teach. She just yelled at her, thinking she'd eventually figure it out for fear of being slapped. And then she ordered her never to let anyone try to do a better job of it. A dark look fell over his face and his hands twitched, almost clenching into fists. "...I will teach you then."

2015-07-15 04:33:49

●

Hmm? What was his problem. Wait... Teach her?! Ahhhaha. "Ah, that's okay. It's New York. I don't need to learn to drive." She stuttered out, nervously laughing.

2015-07-15 04:37:59

🌀

"You do. I will teach you." He didn't appear willing to drop the subject.

2015-07-15 04:39:01

●

She shoved her hands into her jacket's pockets. "No, It's fine. Really. I don't need to learn." The nervousness didn't drop either.

2015-07-15 04:39:59

🌀

"Yes you do, she was just incapable of teaching you." He still seemed angry, though it wasn't at Ivory. Ren raised an eyebrow at his behavior. 'She'? Curious.

2015-07-15 04:42:20

●

Wait... She? What did he...shit. He saw something. He saw something bad. "Uh...Ren, if you don't mind. I'd like to talk to Zane in private. I'll be right back, I swear."

2015-07-15 04:45:14

🌀

"Oh, of course, you go right on ahead." They went and held the door to the back room open for them, beaming. Zane gave them a confused look, why were they so enthusiastic, but entered the room nonetheless. She really had possessed some terrible friends, he hated it.

2015-07-15 04:47:52

●

Well, at least they understood to some extent. Good. Wonderful. She wasn't upsetting them. Once they were alone together and the door was shut, Ivory exhaled. "Please tell me what you saw, because it's obvious you saw something." She calmly stated.

2015-07-15 04:51:21

🌀

His expression had changed more to one of guilt, and he bit his lip. "....a girl named Cassandra, supposedly 'teaching you how to drive'. ....I'm sorry."

2015-07-15 04:53:59

●

"...What are you sorry for?" She asked, confused. "Sorry for seeing my memories? Because then I'm the one who would be apologizing since they're not yours."

2015-07-15 04:55:56

🌀

"Bringing it up, and yes, for seeing it too, you cannot control it."

2015-07-15 04:59:41

●

She sighed and look down. "Zane. It's okay. You don't have to apologize. I know I don't /want/ you to see them, but I also don't want to see you beating yourself over them as well."

2015-07-15 05:01:12

🌀

".....so--" He caught himself apologizing for apologizing and hit himself on the forehead with the heel of his hand. Stupid. "....." He didn't have anything to say other than 'I'm sorry'. For making her see him being guilt-ridden. But then that would be 'beating himself up' too, probably.

2015-07-15 05:07:51

●

Slowly, and slightly cautiously, she wrapped her arms around him for a hug. "It's okay." She repeated. "Those people from our memories can't hurt me, and they definitely can't hurt you. It's going to be alright."

2015-07-15 05:11:07

🌀

Since it wasn't sudden, he didn't flinch, and instead hugged her back. Too bad she was wrong. His could if he wanted to.

Out in the main room, there was a shout of "HAPPY NEW YEAR'S~!" from Ren to no one in particular.

2015-07-15 05:16:37

●

Overhearing Ren's shout, Ivory immediately giggled into his chest, as if trying to hide it.
