Corin Rawlins: ((I am
assuming that they have kept her sedated, and did we want to back date this to
the next day after Reyna brought her? or leave it that she has been there for
almost 2 weeks?))
Ashlyn Reale: (( Backdating would be
awesome, I think... it's hard to believe that they'd leave her sedated for half
a month. ))
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((No, no sedating
the poor model with Lazoperam for two weeks. I have a option...she was sedated
for half a week, and has spent the last week and a half getting her sanity back
before Reyna & Ashlyn talked to her? Reyna and Ash have then been just being
friendly and nice?))
Ashlyn Reale: (( And with Ashlyn home
so often lately, there's an easy way to keep her...well, from escaping. Nothing
like a psychic to calm somebody down as necessary. Hopefully. ))
Corin Rawlins: ((*S* that
works....So let me quickly update what has been happening in the past week and a
half....))
Corin Rawlins: After the
sedation wears off, Reyna and Ashlyn find themselves with a very scared, and
frightened woman. First the freak out, then the schock of being saved, and
having a face. Soon after though, she went through all of the symptoms of having
withdrawls. agitation, depression, intense craving for the drug, extreme
fatigue, anxiety, angry outbursts, lack of motivation, nausea/vomiting, shaking,
irritability, muscle pain, and disturbed sleep. Not as if she doesn't already
have nighmares about her time being kidnapped. She has thrown things. When she
ate it was to throw up. It has not been the best of times in the last week and a
half, but she is looking slightly bettwer only shaking slightly now as she is
curled in the corner of the couch. She has also asked why she cannot contact her
friends and family, and why she couldn't go home. Even going so far as to try
and call when no one was looking.
Ashlyn Reale: Ashlyn has discouraged her -
gently for the mostpart. She's also been tolerant of this, helping to ease her
through the detox period. She's going through withdrawl. Can't exactly go home
in a cab like that without attracting the worst kind of tabloid press, and the
agency could drop her for that kind of press...
Reyna Varinia Reiruno:
d10: Cha+Subertfuge: 2,2,5,5,9,4,2,
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: Reyna's just been
in no mood to deal with it...but she's done it anyway. The Coyote Girl's just
grinned and beared it, and then went to sleep in her van at odd periods. She's
sleeping a lot more, actually...someone listless. But when she's around Corin
and, much as possible when around Ashlyn, she tries to be good ol' snarky-but-caring
Reyna. Ashlyn has more then likely noticed the depression that's set in.
Corin Rawlins: Some light
food for tonight has managed to stay down. Corin hasn't noticed a thing but her
own want for her "fix", and she seems to by this point be in the midst of
believing, especially since she has nothing wrong with her, that everything that
happened was a dream, not real, and that Ashlyn and Reyna decided to fix her, so
to speak. And she just wants to go home, cause she knows where her stash is
there.
Corin Rawlins: She looks
to both Reyna and Ashlyn, food finished, what she could eat of it anyways. "So
when are you letting me get out of here, you realize I could report you for
kidnapping."
Ashlyn Reale: "You could," Ashlyn admits
calmly, coffee cupped in her slim hands. "We could also admit what you're on.
Assuming the given officer doesn't moonlight as a dealer, which do you really
think is worse?" She sips a little. Calm - this isn't mean spirited. In fact,
this is the post-dinner phase of her concern, more open and empathic than Reyna
has allowed herself to be in 'public'.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Go ahead and
report us for kidnapping, Sweetie-Pie. Don't think the coke'll do over too well
with the cops, though." She sighs. "We're trying to help you, Corin. I had to
make sure the stuff you got didn't have any kind of wierd psychotic effects,
make you lose it on the runway, a'ight? Your career wouldn't be doin' so hot
then. 'sides, this has attention now...play it off right, and your career could
skyrocket off your publicity and sympathy."
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((The stuff you
were given))
Corin Rawlins: She huffs and
looks off, still with a light shake to her hands, which she is rubbing together,
as she looks off elsewhere.
Corin Rawlins: She closes her
eyes briefly, chanting something over and over in her mind. "I do not know what
you are talking about." she says to Reyna.
Ashlyn Reale: "It's our secret, anyway.
This never has to leave the apartment," she offers gently. "Nobody else has to
know. You never have to feel this way again. And just wait to see how they'll
have missed you - right?"
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She looks to Ashlyn,
then back to Corin. "A'ight, Corin. I need you to think back. What do you
remember about the guy who picked you up in his taxi and drove you off from
Emotions that night? Do you know where he took you?"
Corin Rawlins: Denile, it
isn't just a river. "Know about....." and what Reyna says brings her up sharp.
She blinks several times, and then slowely shakes her head. "No...you guys took
me here after the club.....and.....and have been keeping me here ever since."

Corin Rawlins -> Reyna Varinia Reiruno:
She honestly believes what she said, although something in what
she said, Reyna feels that Corin cannot tell fact from fiction, like there is an
overlay of a "noightmare" that she is trying to rationalize by where she is at
now.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She sighs.
"Sweetie...the guy who took you. He fed you hallucingenic drugs. Stuff that made
you hallucinate what happened, obviously. But you may have clues as to who took
you, up in your head, okay? Which is why I need you to humor me right now.
Cool?"
Ashlyn Reale: Ashlyn shakes her head
slowly, standing, frowning vaguely. "Don't expect her to answer. She was too
busy snorting her paycheck to know for sure. Let alone to want to get clean
again, right? Why be sober anyway..?" Her voice is soft, detatched in the way
that suggests that for a moment, her mind is on other matters. Ashlyn is heading
for the sink.
Corin Rawlins: She blinks at
Reyna. "I....it didn't happen...bad batch....." her lips become a straight line.
"How do you know what i wan't miss high and mighty." she spouts off to Ashlyn.
"You do not have nighmares about a guy taking pictures as he slices off your
skin."
Ashlyn Reale: "You're right." Calmly
replied to Corin. She sets down the mug, and begins to walk back. This, coming
from the other model with chronic nightmares. "My nightmares are very different.
So why don't you tell me about yours, and we can compare notes. I hear talking
about it makes it a lot better. And a whole fuck of a lot cheaper than a
therapist. You're also getting away with breaking a lot more of my shit than you
would in the office."
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She looks between
Ashlyen and Corin, and sits back, with a sigh.
Corin Rawlins: She puts her
hands to either side of her head. "I do not want to talk about them, I just want
them to go away." she says almost ending in a sob, something that she has been
doing a lot of lately.
Ashlyn Reale: A glance back to Reyna. A
pause, and she stands still, a hand covering her eyes in a tired gesture. "Hell.
Sorry."
Reyna Varinia Reiruno:
d10: Persuasion: 5,7,9,9,5,3,5,
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She shrugs to
Ashlyn, and looks over to Corin. "Hon...trust me here. If you talk to it and get
it out, it'll be a lot easier to get past them, so you won't be dwelling on them
anymore. You can make them go away by vocalizig it, you know?"

Corin Rawlins: She pulls her
legs up to her chest, laying her head on her knees and hugging her legs to
herself. She is shaking slightly. She glances to Reyna tears welling in her
eyes. And then slowely she seems to start to tell in starts and stops what she
can remember of that night and her nightmares. "We went to the bathroom......we
were bored. After we got a fix, we went to dance.....I think it was a giy....told
me that everyone else was waiting outside.....I went with....I do not know why i
got into the car....but after a while, we I think we pulled over. The next thing
I remember is being in the trunk i think.....couldn't breath too well, something
over my eyes." she shudders. "When I tyhought I was going to have bruises
everywhere we stopped." she takes a shaky breath.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She nods a little
bit, listening quietly. Making notes of questions to ask once her story is out.
Ashlyn Reale: She's silent, listening to
this, careful not to interrupt, not to breathe too loudly.
Corin Rawlins: Continuing on.
"He pulled me out of the car.....we went somewhere....I could tell it was
dark.....He tied me up......I tried to scream, I think." she rubs her face with
her hand, touching ti to make sure it is still there. "He made me take some
more....it was like cocaine but better...I passed out, I do not know what time
it is but I feel pain on my chest and leg and arm.....then a flash went off as I
opened my eyes....I got more of the stuff he gave me before....but this time it
was like I couldn't move but was awake somehow...." she doesn't look at either
Ash or Reyna.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno:
d10: Int+Medicine: 6,5,7,10,6,1,
Ashlyn Reale: Fingertips rub on her
temple, hand still covering her eyes for the mostpart. Thoughts flicker through
her consciousness, some memory and some assumption. The powder Delia was covered
in? Had he been sitting on her chest? Somehow, that evil image of an imp perched
on a woman's chest from that stupid old painting wells up to mind.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: A little sigh,
rubbing at her forehead...still otherwise silent.
Corin Rawlins: Another
shudder passes through her. "There wasn't any talking....then i felt it, or
maybe saw it as he....pulled my face off. either there was something snapping
pictures, or he was somehow...." a slight shake of her head. "When I -I Started
to scream, he....he Gave me more cocaine I think, it burned me......and I
screamed until i passed out I think......the next time I remember anything i was
here."

Corin Rawlins -> Reyna Varinia Reiruno:
From what Ashlyn has told her about Delia's murder, and this,
there is signifigant differences, there HAS to be two different people targeting
models and more probably not even working together. This guy that Corin is
talking about definatly knows his street drugs, and what models are using now a
days. Also looks like he knows what he is doing with a camers, and has a good
enough ammount of medical knowledge to not hack and slash, this was more precise
than what Delia went through.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She nods with a
sigh. "All right, Corin. I need you to tell me everything you can about the
place you were held. Any flashes of anything you saw...whether it was a toilet,
tile on the wall, a drain pipe, dirt piles...whatever. Any clue might help.
Things you heard...whether is was overly hot or cold. Any smells. Any clue may
be important."
Corin Rawlins: She is
still shaking slightly, nibbling on her lip, as she falls silent thinking.
"Chemical smell....it was kept in darkness, not too hot or cold, just right
really. I...I heard him walking around, or no carpet on the floor. there was a
bare bulb hanging over my head....so I couldn't really see what was around. The
table was steel, cold. I didn't see his face, he wore a mask, like a doctor,
everything blue, hat type thingy..." a shake of her head. "I can'ty remember
anything really." she falls silent. "Oh we had to walk up before walking down it
that hels any."
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Was there a
drainage hole in the floor, did you see?"
Corin Rawlins: She shakes her
head I couldn't see....I was laying on my back. I know he at one point took off
my dress....so I think he had to have put it back on." That would explain the
powder on her dress, and not too much blood on there either. "Ciggarette smoke
also...."
Corin Rawlins: She seems
uncertain... "This-this really happened to me didn't it?"
Reyna Varinia Reiruno:

Ashlyn Reale: Ashlyn raises her hand,
pushing fingers into her hair and looking from Corin to Reyna. Unsurprisingly,
on the weird-shit-o-meter Ashlyn is untrained. But she gives that moment of
pause, of uncertainty that ruins her own chance at denial.
Corin Rawlins -> Reyna Varinia Reiruno:
Definatly in the basement of some kind of building. the bare bulb
that Corin talks about could be a surgens light. She seems to get the idea that
this guy could be a plastic surgon.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: No pause from
the Coyote Girl. "Yes and no, Corin. Yes, you were kidnapped by this guy. He
drugged you and took you somewhere. Obviously, he didn't really cuct your face
off. He gave you, best I can tell dimethyltryptamine, or DMT, which is a
powerful hallucinogenic. It can be put in a powdered form, it was probably mixed
in with the cocaine. He fucked you up a little, beat you around from the
bruising you had for the first few days you were here...this is why I had to
sedate you, so your body could heal. Your mind probably translated it, based on
your own fears, into being cut up. He left you for dead, and I found you, and
brought you back here."

Corin Rawlins: She looks
at Reyna, blinking a faw times, then nodding her head, yes yes that did sound
right on the money. softly said. "I am not going to have plastic surgery ever
again.....I think I am going to get out while I can." a shake of her head as
tears fall from her eyes.
Corin Rawlins: "Thanks
you......" she looks from Retyna to Ashlyn. "Both of you."
Ashlyn Reale: "Stay as long as you feel
you need to," she replies softly. There's something stunning about the BS Reyna
can whip out at anny given second. "I'd really... really like it if you stayed
long enough to get that...stuff out of your system for sure."
Corin Rawlins: She shakes her
head. "You have helped out enough....I can..." a sad sigh, like she cannot even
begin to fathom she is saying this. "There is a rehab center in upstate. I can
go there. it's all nature like."
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She nods with an
actual, genuine smile when Corin mentions rehab. "Awesome. If you need any help
with it...helping with the cost, or a sponsor after the fact or anything...let
me know. I'll be happy to help." Yes, the drug dealer who supports rehab. She's
all sorts of contradictory.
Ashlyn Reale: Ashlyn nods with that to
agree, however being in a somewhat stunned silence...
Corin Rawlins: "If I decide
to come back here afterwards I will remember that." she says to Reyna. "The
cost.....well...it is better than eating into my savings for other things." a
sigh, still shaky. "Just if one of you could find me a way to get there...."
Ashlyn Reale: "I've been upstate before."
You know, that one lone time. "I'm sure I can arrange something, if you're busy
Reyna? I really don't mind.." She's quick to assure - eager to be out of the
house.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "I can drive you up
there, Sweetie-Pie." She nods to Ashlyn. "I'm sure we could all use a couple
days out of the city...unless you two would rather go alone, and that's totally
cool, too. Whatever works."
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((drive you = drive
us all))
Corin Rawlins: "No that is
fine, both of you comming with....I just can't.....I want a fix.....but knowing
that this guy used me because of it." she shakes her head disgusted with herself
some what and with the guy most of all. "when ever would be a good time for you
both, I do not want to take you guys away from your lives, any more than
well...." she leaves that part hanging.
Ashlyn Reale: She looks to Reyna now,
distinctly 'you busy right now?' - after all, she herself has how long until the
next necessary thing?
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Baah. Since when
did I have a life?" She smirks a little bit. She looks to Ashlyn and shakes her
head. "Naah, I got nothin' else to do."
Corin Rawlins: For some
reason this seems to be too good to be true for her. That they both are helping
and that they both are willing to drive `her~ of all people somewhere. Self
esteem issues? oh yeah. ((And if you guys would like we can fade it here, in the
morning Corin would check into rehab, and Ashlyn and Reyna can have a few days
in upstate doing their own thing, relaxing from the city life.))
Ashlyn Reale: (( Fading is awesome -
lovely scene! Thank you both! And hey, these two can hang out with like, trees
for a day or two. ))
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((Sounds good to
me. Reyna will let Joshua know they're taking Corin up, and make sure he has all
cell numbers, etc.))
