amichan: (NOLA)
As best I can piece back together from notes that are partly water-damaged. Italic phrases are when I talk directly/interact with K while she's gressed. 

  • K's life is 7
Mama's screaming, drinking, taking medicine. Mama telling her she needs to learn to take it, to be strong. K's opening her mouth like it's sore on one side. Mama sometmies touches her, sometimes slaps. Someone comes in and picks her up and takes her away--doesn't know who they are but they have a beard and a leather jacket. Tells her "hold on" she falls asleep. 
  • Moves forward. Is now 12 years old. 
Uncle Billy is teaching her, Albert and Margo how to pick pockets without them noticing. Margo keeps messing up. Albert's okay. Uncle Billy knows she's making mistakes on purpose. "Okay short stuff, sit down." (part missing) "only have one good eye but I'll still tell." (if you're lying) she tells him that it makes her feel sick that she doesn't know if people deserve to be stolen from. Billy says he'll tell the family she's not good enough to be on the street picking pockets but he's still going to teach her the skill, though he warns her that it's "never done no Romney no good having a conscience." 
  • Forward again. Now 16. Just got her driver's license. 
Seems to be some sort of "memory montage" given she talks about it "flashing different things, family have taught me, learning how to pick locks, how to punch, walk different, change silhoutte," but then computers, electronics it's "like I can see beneath the screen, beyond code." 
Uncle Enoch wants her to help family get something out of safety deposit box room--bypass security. She doesn't want to but really as no choice. Enoch says if she does the one thing he'll let her go for a while. 
She says it mostly goes okay. The keypad is easy. The SD box has a laser encrypted key and a finger print match. Back door is default so just need a blank key and she's not going to ask how they already have one. 
"It's not like I have a manual." 
She got it open but she warns them she can't bypass this one alarm that is going to trigger within three minutes tops.  While they're doing the thing she changes quickly so she can move into the crowd on the way out. Family got a box out and something rolled up in cloth but she doesn't know what. It almost looked like a tool roll. There are cops, so they have to scatter. Someone grabs her arm, "Hey, did you just come out of the bank?" "Don't be ridiculous. It's closed." Its an off-duty cop, but he's been drinking so she figures it won't be hard to get out of the situation. He's dragging her over to these other cops and she's begging "please, please," and it helps he had hold of her jacket and part of her hair when he was pulling her, and it turns out he's on suspension. His name is Mulloy. The other cops are telling him to leave and he's very unhappy about it. 
  • Moved forward a little bit more. She's 17 now. 
She's at a club, and she's kind of annoyed. It's not the type of place she would normally go, but she came with a friend and now the friend met a guy and ditched her. This place has shitty music, expensive drinks, sticky dance floor. She'd almost rather be at "Rory's" she'd get pressed into working but still. It's money? "I'd only get tips because I'm family. Problem is I'm, like, related to everyone." If your friend's gone, why don't you just leave? "Good question, actually...but to pay $11 covr and leave after two hours feels like a waste of money...um...um...okay, not going to lie, I've done some drugs in the past but....there's some stuff going on...thought at first people were disappearing and there's clothes on the ground, now there's just lots of rabbits. No bartender...no DJ....just rabits...in a couple of cases rabbits fucking...
She does find a girl whose attention she's trying to get because the girl is sitting at the bar crying into a drink and definitely not a bunny. There's also a guy, an older guy who comes into the bar who is also not a rabbit, watching him trying to carefully walk around all the bunnies is pretty funny. 
She goes to talk to the chick. Icebreaker is apparently something to do with salt not tasting good in appletinis. The chick has a black eye and a split lip and didn't realize she was surrounded by rabbits until K asked her what was going on. The guy has also made it over, but the chick is crying again and has limpted herself onto K and guy is trying to get her to detach herself from K and calm down. 
It turns out the chick had a pet rabbit named Whisper which died earlier in the day. Her boyfriend, Brian, told her she was a stupid bitch and he was tired of her bullshit. She got more upset and he yelled at her for that, and how she never loved him as much as the fucking rabbit and hit her and hit her more and she doesn't remember leaving home or coming to the bar. 
"This is going to sound like a crazy person but I think she did this to these people." They're telling the chick she needs to report Brian to the police. She's all he hasn't hit me before but she had been sorta scared, now she's helping chick realize that Brian probably killed Whisper, people are starting to turn back, "Well, you know, sometimes there are naked people on Bourbon Street anyway..." 
The other guy who showed up is called Mike. They're are going to take a detour on the way to the chick's house to the New Orleans PD to get pictures taken. Then they're going back to the girl's house for the cop's to get Brian. "It's important you're there. Let him see you're not afraid." 
Mike's last name is Deveraux. He was just walking by the bar and felt he had to go through the doors. 

Next day. Wakes up hurting like someone kicked her in the ribs. Looks like there's a tattoo there. "I didn't get fucked up AT ALL so how do I have a tattoo on my ribs?" trying to get picture but at weird angle, "This would be so much easier if there was more than one of--I think I just broke my phone." dropped phone in sink because second her appeared and they both screamed. Second her has no tattoo. Thought there was a weird imposter in the room for a moment but then the other her disappeared. Then she was able to concentrate and make them reappear, apparently makes her nauseaous after a while, "Well, I'm GLAD that YOU feel fine I don't feel fine." Three copies is as far as she can go before vomit. 
"Fuck still don't have a picture of the God Damn thing and now my phone is broken." 
Then it rings, Mike calling, they exchanged numbers the night before while waiting for Jenny (bunny chick) to finish her statements and everything. He says something weird is going on. "Please for the love of God no bunnies." She clarifies that Mike is gay so it makes it somewhat less creepy that a 32 year old man is giving a 17 year old girl he met in a club his number. He's a teacher, possibly at a private school. 
It turns out the something weird is a 4 foot crack across the ground that has swallowed a car. It's knitting back together but no one seems to be noticing except this one guy, and the car has showed up 20 feet away and hit a lamp post. She wants to talk to mystery guy but she wants to do something first. She lifts his wallet and cell phone and then she and Mike are going to get coffee at Cafe DuMonde. She has an apartment in the same building so it'll look slightly less weird that she's hanging out there. 
Apparently in the guy's wallet is: $7 cash, Discover card, Blockbuster card (??), expired condom and ID in the name of Andrew Deschamps Milton and several receipts. "This guy eats a LOT of jerky." then laughter because apparently Mike has some moral qualms about her lifting the guy's wallet. ADM works at power and water in the maintenance department, has a couple of minor traffic violations and was picked up once for peeing in a public fountain, but not charged. He moved to NOLA from Alabama. (Yay, hacking). Being conscientious citizens they should now go and return his wallet. Laughing again, when asked why, "Mike just said, "I don't want to know how you know how to do these things, do I?" 
They get to ADM's address before him, when he shows up she tells him that she saw someone take his things and then got them back for him. He looks suspicious, but then he "kind of probably should," she notes that Mike has kept reaching under his shirt and scratching his upper right chest on and off this whole time. She's asking ADM about the street because the sidewalk is all broken up everywhere except right in front of his home. He says he replaced it but she points out the city has to replace that sidewalk. ADM runs. "I am NOT wearing the shoes for this. Oh, Mike's a lot ore fit than I thought. Good on him." 
She tripped and fell going into the park but didn't hit the ground. She's decided to just stop and wait for Mike. Sounds like you're getting powers. "That shit's not supposed to happen. That''s comic book shit." 
Apparently ADM saw her not fall and came back and poor Mike is winded, "We just want to talk to you." "Did you just fly a little bit? That's...weird..." "That is not the weirdest thing in the last day--club full of rabbits." 

"Mike has a tattoo like mine, well not exactly like mine but the itchy thing on his chest is a tattoo that appeared, and Milton has one on his left forearm." They follow ADM back to his place. He says six months ago he was at work and a steam pipe ruptured and a co-worker disappeared into steam. They closed off the pipe but some of the steam was still there, and he kept talking to the guy and it gradually became a person again after lots of coaching and the next day he had the tattoo and found he could pull broken things back together. She asks Mike, "Anything you would like to share with the class?" three times. Apparently he can mess with people's heads. She starts to see some images. 
"Oh! Mike has mind powers and he's NOT gay! Someone has GOT to teach him about women!" 
Mike is 32. 

At this point K started getting weird headache so we pulled her up.
