Laverna sighed deeply as she woke up in her dorm at Stoney harbor. Her brain felt empty and numb.

“Not again,”. She muttered as she stared at the ceiling.

She has tried for whole five years to bury her inner demons.

Forcing herself to stand up when her whole existence became a void.

That's one of the hardest things she has to go through.

It's true, she was luckier than some of her peers. However material possessions could not help her.

When you own the whole world and still feel like the bottom-most rung. That's exactly how she would describe her situation.

She checked her alarm clock. “2:03 am,”. She said in a monotonous way.


Normally, when she woke up so early in the morning, everyone would have never been the wiser.

However, the fact that the mental illness of hers starting to eat her sanity alive. She knew not to stay alone with her less than lively thoughts.

Picking up her phone, She dialed the one woman who saved her from them the most.

“Sister,” she said in an emotional sound.

“Ferret? It's late, what's going on?” the comforting voice on the other end picked up.

The inner demons revealed themselves as she spoke to her big sister.

“It is happening again, It is building. Help, me.” Laverna’s voice croaked.

Now an emotion built up a reaction. Despair, Laverna’s unfortunate mental poison of choice. Next to Villainizing, that is.

“You don't have to help me,” she paused.

“I am coming to talk to you face to face. Give me, Time to get there.”

Carmen replied as she began to be concerned for the young lady who needed her most of all.

Carmen sighed slipping her hair back in a ponytail as she got out of bed. The messy hair was the least of her concerns.

“Stay on the phone, “. She ordered as she put it on speakerphone.


“Mhm,” Laverna muttered back as she glared at her reflection

Her green eyes were dull and lost their mischievous spark.

“That’s how I looked when I joined, I was Dead.” She thought out loud

She wasn’t being sarcastic. Legally, she wasn’t alive and could only exist within vile and acme which was nice enough to adopt her sort of speak.

“You are alive and never was deceased, little one, cut that out,” The comforting and concerned voice interjected
over the phone.

“Legally I am,”. The dead girl argued as she imagined herself wearing bloodied ratty pajamas.

“That was Charlet, you are like a Phoenix you rose from the ashes and became Laverna the goddess of thieves.” Carmen confidentiality tries to reason as she arrives in front of the dorm’s wooden door.

Feeding someone’s ego was rarely a good idea, however, Sometimes people need to be reminded of who they are.

Laverna trembled as she opened the door.

“Good morning, boss.” She said faking her normal optimism.

“Morning, Laverna, “. The greeting was successfully returned and received.

Being pulled into a bear hug by the World’s greatest thief is a rare opportunity.

“You are no longer without a family, you are mine” that statement was whispered in her ears.

Warmth and safety still felt oddly offensive to laverna.

She grew up on the streets after her mother’s death. And that wasn’t a childhood for her to be proud of.

Child protective services hunted her for years and never prevailed.

It would of been easier, if she had given herself up to foster care.

Although, she would of never became her true self if she had.

“I just don’t want to live on the streets again, “. She sighed

“Well acme and vile both keep a light on for you, “. Carmen teased although telling the truth

“Stop bringing that I’m a double agent up, it’s actually complicated and I don’t even understand how that happened.” Laverna protested

Carmen backed off and smirked

“You done something, no one else has done,”. Carmen explained with a soft smile on her tanned face.

“What?” Laverna asked now filled with a new emotion called curiosity.

“You became another Carmen Sandiego.” She teased while patting her little sister on her head.

“Ugh, affection.” Laverna groaned while secretly wishing for more of it.

“Actually, I need it. Please continue.” She begged making Carmen laugh.

Eventually and not unexpectedly. They ended up sleeping side by side on the small twin bed.

Laverna felt safer in carmen’s embrace than anywhere else in the world.

    ((OOC: So, I am still here (at least, while ACP is still a thing, then I have to tether my phone to my laptop, send it's internet to Ethernet to my router and setup my other laptop to access that... I managed it once totally by accident)... updating stuff I'm working on is not a fun process (if anyone checks my stories folder on my Google Drive) anymore... the laptop at my desk is old (Core 2 Duo, 2Ghz, 4 gigs RAM, Win7 Ultimate)... Chrome won't update, Drive won't work... I'm stuck using FreeFileSync to keep stuff up to datep things synced. I have plans of getting a job and having money to have something better (a doorstop is better)

    [continuing] I'm sorry if any of my posts are/could be inflammatory or anything... some of them are stuff I've had in the pipeline for a while, and I messed with it enough to get it postable... that's why there are dates showing when I started working on stuff... I'm not, and never have been, trying to step on anyone's toes or say "this is how it should be"... I have no say here, not sure who does these days (like I posted... maybe this is a test to see if we devolve into chaos). Posts like Hierarchy were started long ago, and meant as a guideline and not because I'm the voice of Sauron.

    [continuing] I don't have the time to be here a whole lot, I don't have much beyond mom to help with my rent (and once I have a job, that'll take up more time, though I will keep working on stuff (both for here and not) as often as possible, and post when possible on here. I have a question that needs some clarification... being that we are supposed to get permission from the person if we use their character in an addition/story/post, how would that apply if the character is core to the universe (like Carmen... I can replace @Chase, maybe cobble someone into @Ivy's place... but, like @Carmen, being that she's a major character, as long as I don't have her acting or write a major part for her, would that circumvent the rule at all?

    [continuing] I'm just curious... the absence of the major's leaves a gap that I'm not sure what to do with anything... we (the Left Behind) could do a story together (or some stories separate), and that'd be cool, but without being able to use any major's, I'm not sure where to take anything. And, yeah... you can probably guess what my typing is like here (or anyplace else)... I type here or in Word, I type something (or notepad), and 15-20+ seconds later it shows up, so I have to stay on top of my grammar and spelling. I have to keep on top of all that, because I'm working on the big Carmen story at the same time, so I can't slip off my game.))

    @Jon Eckart Not exactly sure if I understand all your computer probs. I hope you get those resolved soon. Yes, I have many probs with my basic Google Chrome, too. I think it's fair to say we all have a love/hate relationship with technology. 😆 As far as your stories are concerned, you can use any cannon character you like, whether there is a person playing that role on here or not. Say the story is a fanfiction; and that the version of Chase, or Carmen (or whoever) from the computer games, gameshow (or whatever). We don't do Netflix Carmen, mostly because of the violence. And because it is fanfiction, you can also create other characters and situations to suit your story. Now, Chase, Carme, Ivy (or whoever) were here, of course, you would ask their permission; tell them your idea; and if they like it they might write it with you. 🙂

    @Jon Eckart Now, if you for a friendship with someone on--and off-site, you might form a partnership with them, and write stories together (like Chase and Carmen; or Chase and Ivy; or Lucy and I) and then you will just put a statement saying that this story is a co-write with whoever. In fact, if you collaborate with this person a lot, people will just assume they have your permission; although you should always say it anyway, just as a common courtesy. In fact, ironically, the only people whose permission you must always ask to use their characters are "original" characters, who are creations of their individual writers (which most of us on here, are) specifically because we are not cannon. I hope that makes sense. 🙂

    @Jon Eckart Now, if you want to write something, but don't have a lot of time, I would suggest posting a status; or replying to someone else's status. Or you could start a guessing game. Look under Forums/Guessing Games, and look at some things other people have done, to give you ideas. I hope that helps. 🙂
