Finalement, le besoin d'écrire s'estompa. Les idées ont cessé de venir alors qu'elle continuait à être de plus en plus distrait en regardant à l'extérieur, et le flux de nouvelles personnes entrant dans la boutique. Elle a tourné son attention vers sa nourriture. C'était fantastique! Ils n'ont jamais rien eu de tel en Indiana. Il y avait de l'assaisonnement autre que du sel. Chaque morsure est devenue une expérience en fermant les yeux et tout simplement apprécié toutes les saveurs accablant sa palette.
Ses yeux s'ouvrirent encore un autre homme qui se rendit dans la boutique. Il avait l'air familier, mais elle n'arrivait pas à le placer. Elle était trop occupée à manger un gaz sur le sandwich. Elle savait où elle allait passer la plupart de ses repas à partir de maintenant. Qui est ce type... Son esprit a couru pour le placer dans sa banque de données, quand soudain il a cliqué. Elle ne pouvait s'empêcher de dire à voix haute... "Ce bâtard..." Elle se tenait agressivement, et s'approcha de l'homme qui attendait son bœuf tiré.
"Qu'est-ce qui va faire tomber la civilisation occidentale aujourd'hui, M. Watson? C'est quoi, ça? Oh, je regarde toutes tes vidéos. Êtes-vous ici pour exposer les prix de la viande bovine? Les modes de vie des hipsters? Des pluies acides? Quelle est la prochaine grande conspiration?" Elle a essayé de fusionner ses paroles avec un peu de douceur, mais il a été difficile de cacher ses frustrations à la conspiration rempli de savoir-tout.
Name. Athena Oakley
Sex/Gender. Bi-sexual Female
Age. 22.
Appearance. 5'3 - 130 lbs. Not traditionally skinny, but not overweight. She's curvy in all the right ways. Long semi-curly hair extends most of the way down her back. Her eyes are a piercing light blue. The kind of eyes that seem to look right into your soul.
Personality. From an outside perspective, Athena is extremely confident. She uses sarcasm to her advantage, and doesn't tend to back down from any situation. Personally, that confidence hides her insecurities and her emotions. Only a select few people know the real her. She loves nature, animals, going on walks through the woods. She can drink with just about anyone, and enjoys a good drink... emphasis on good. She doesn't like anyone making fun of her height, but aside from that doesn't tend to take things too personally. Her other biggest vice in the world is music.
Skills. Athena is a poet. Whether free verse, spoken word, or lyrics, putting her emotion on paper soothes her soul in a way nothing else can. She's also a talented singer/songwriter, but usually doesn't have the nerve to let anyone in on that skill.
Biography. Athena grew up in a small farming town in Indiana. Nothing about life was particularly challenging. She always felt like there was something else out there for her though. There was more to the world than cornfields. At 18 she was married, and at 21 she was divorced. They both were to blame. He pressed extreme religious views on her, and tried to force her to change... so she rebelled and had an affair.
Divorced life led to all kinds of wild nights and experimenting, which ultimately led to her love of the female form. Nothing beats sipping on bourbon and staring at a great ass. She's just as bad as any man when it comes to oogling over a pretty lady. She doesn't tend to be shy about saying something either.
Professionally, she was very successful. She managed to work her way up to Assistant Manager of a multi-million dollar retail store by the age of 20. That only made her feel more stuck.
As she continued to let time pass by, her family moved away and it left her with a choice. Stay in Indiana, and keep being content with life, or go out into the world and try and find happiness, whatever that is. She chose the latter, and set her sights on Seattle. Taking practically nothing, and leaving everything she knew behind, she now finds herself trying to find a new identity... a new purpose.
