Got a gift from a friend
Characters: Veronica and whoever
Setting: Room 1-17, anywhere else
Format: action brackets, will follow
Summary: Veronica discovers her first regain
Warnings: Usual tower warnings
Room 1-17
[The thing about being trapped in your room for five days was that you had to go back eventually. Veronica hadn't seen any odd things in the room since being freed, but still that was just another reason to stay away.
But here Veronica was, back in the dorms once again, sitting on her new bed. At the very least, the room had been fixed and all the debris had been cleared away. Having been struck with a thought, she hurried to her trunk to check if everything was still there.
She flipped the lid and peered inside. Everything seemed to be intact, the grenades were still there, the first aid pack was still full, and the necklace was....
Veronica froze. Reaching down with shaky hands, she lifted the necklace out of the trunk, handling it as delicately as humanly possible. It was a crystal fluorite necklace, simple in design but quite pretty. She just... sat there, holding it in her hands, staring down at it with a mixture of confusion and despair.
How could it be here? It had been destroyed.
Veronica shook violently, holding it close.]
Elsewhere
[Eventually, Veronica decided she needed air. So, with necklace in her pocket, Veronica wandered off into the tower. What the Frankenstein girl might be doing will vary from floor to floor, but in general she'll be acting very distracted and depressed. Every so often she'll stop and reach into her pocket, seemingly checking for something before continuing on.]

[He pauses to catch his breath--and his voice. That was a lot of talking he just did and he's already gone a little hoarse.]
...I-If it h-h-helps...I d-d-don't like s-seeing you in s-so much p-pain. I w-want to make you f-f-feel better. Why w-w-wouldn't I l-listen...?
no subject
...They were friends, he cared about her.
Slowly, Veronica pulled away from Rick, wiping her eyes on her sleeve. Staring down at the necklace she lifted it up, undid the string, and began to tie it around her neck, right below the collar.]
It... It does help. A-and Miyake did get justice eventually w-without me.
[She smiles at Rick.]
Thanks Rick. It helped to talk to someone.
no subject
I'm...g-glad. [He smiles back.] ...A-And...I'm a-always around if you n-need me, a-alright?
no subject
She'd never had someone be clingy to her apart from Fran. It was sort of nice.]
Y-yeah, alright. Thanks.
