010 | Closed Action - Desperate Times Call for Desperate Measures
[Waiting patiently outside Solomon's residence was one April, calmly sipping her tea and looking as though she was merely enjoying the sun, not scooping out the place. Of course, the minute Solomon leaves is the minute April starts counting under her breath. Ten minutes later, she's striding through the door and taking the elevator up to the penthouse.]
[Someone had a place to rob! To bad she's forgetting something Solomon had said once. Something about a roommate... Lock pick tools in hand, April's busy at the door. There was just one thing nagging at her, and it wasn't her forgetfulness over the roommate, but rather the lack of security. No wires, no keypad, just a deadbolt and a lock? Pins sliding into place, April slowly turned the doorknob with her left, holding her breath as she listened in at the door.]
[And then she squeezed herself inside.]
((ooc: open to Solomon and Marishka))

009 | Voice - Resolutions are such old hat
To resolve to do the dishes, scrub the floor, stay on top of the laundry. To vow to find someone to take all that Guinness off my hands, and to get my hair dyed. Maybe Red this time? A darker shade of blue? I should get a manicure as well. It's been a while. A regular old girl's day out is what I need.
I should make it a habit.
To remember the things I can't remember. Like that photo I have in my room. Can't remember who the man is or the child, but I'm pretty sure I've never had a kid and the guy ain't my type. Makes you wonder what else was forgotten.
So, this whole making resolutions thing, that means they have to happen, right? I wonder what conclusion I'll be making a month or a year from now, but I can guarantee, not all of these will happen.

008 | Video - Getting back into the groove, pondering the small things
[April did a curious thing today. She emptied out her pockets and removed the can of beer she kept in reserve there in cases of emergency. In fact, she laughed as she removed it, her arm accidentally clicking on the network device sitting on her hip as she did so.]
Must've gotten a bit happy last night if I didn't even want to put the beer away.
[Shaking her head, April pushed it back into a fridge mostly filled with beer, a cartoon of eggs and some milk. She wasn't big on cooking. A few minutes later, April shrugged into her coat and frowned at the blinking red light shining from her waist where she usually kept the device.]
Hello... what are you--[OH. Shutting off that feed as fast as she possibly can, thanks!]
((occ: Start of a slow, gradual descent into forgetfulness. /o/))

7th beer on the wall | [voice/action]
[voice]
So what's the likelihood of seeing an old face today? One in a million? A thousand? Less then a hundred? Not that I'm expecting anyone, but it would be nice to know if I should plan for a surprise tonight.
[/voice]
April's just down at the local pub, drinking a whiskey (she was conserving her money until payday after that shopping curse a few days ago) and listening to the crowd and the clock ticking in the background. At least it was good distraction to the twinge of pain pricking her chest. Because it didn't exist. It was an impossibility. And it had nothing to do with losing her partner all over again, even if it had been some two weeks since he disappeared.
((ooc: Yay, 4th wall! Spoilers, backtagging, threadjacks, and canonmates would be loved but not required.))

006 - [Video] Why is it always to late to say goodbye?
( brief exposition )
[Coming out of the hall of the missing, April flicked on the network device and stared calmly into the recorder.]
It would seem that Jack Simon --some of you may have known him as November 11-- has left the city. I will be tendering his belated Note of Resignation to the proper authorities at City Solutions today and will do my best to tidy up any loose ends until a replacement can be found.
Until then, please limit your inquiries except for in cases of emergencies. They won't be handled otherwise.
[disconnects]
[Now to determine the best manner to avoid going crazy. Perhaps tomorrow she'd...]
((ooc: Back from hiatus! If you get an old tag (and they are old fml), feel free to drop the thread. I won't mind!I hope no one's done this yet)

005 - [Video| Open]
[Browsing the shops looking for the perfect mask for the evening. Something with feathers, or would gold sequins look better? After a moment, April starts to speak, still looking at the masks on the wall.]
So, today's All Hallows Eve, hmm?
[half smile] I would think we've had enough of dressing up and playing our parts but it looks like we're in for a treat. I can't say I'm not looking forward to it.
[shakes her head at both masks and moves further into the back of the store]
So who's hosting the best party tonight? I would really hate to miss all the fun.

004 - [Video] [Curse - Oktoberfest]
With so much beer available, there has to be someone in this city who'd like to drink with me unless...
[slow smile]
Hey Spike. If you're available and still interested, we should see who can out drink who tonight. Just give me a ring if you are.

002 - [Accidental Video] [Curse - Idea Swap]
[Irritated, surly, frustrated, wound-up, overwrought, angry. April knew a hundred ways to describe what she was feeling and not a single one of the them was supposed to be possible. Cue more frustration as she continued whipping up the icing, laving it unto the misshapen cake she had made today in firm strokes that nearly destroyed the too warm cake.]
[Had she mentioned she was a mite impatient as well?]
[But that was another thing she never did. Bake. Sure, she made the odd fish and chips here and there, heated up a tv dinner there, even dabbled a bit sometimes in grilling, but April didn't bake. If she felt like something sweet, she bought something sweet. Her job didn't always leave her time for domestic chores but today she felt compelled. She couldn't get him out of her mind.]
[muttering]July better appreciate this cake.
[Exasperated, April stood there, hands on her hips as she eyed it critically, not pleased with the results, but not willing to spend another Indigo on a cake mix when she'd already been through two. Throwing up her hands, she tossed her dirty utensils into the sink with all the rest.]
Whatever. I'm done with this. [April picked up her device, hoping to find an outlet for her stress when she noticed the recording. Narrowing her eyes, she swore, flicking it off. What the hell?!]
((ooc: borrowing Umi's temper and need to bake for people she loves idea.))

001 - [voice]
( Exposition )
Well, well... Now wasn't that an odd experience: bolting down an alley just because I heard a loud noise. Never thought I'd do that considering I'm usually the one making all the noise in the establishment.
[sharp laugh]
I don't know which is worse, the fact I'm put off my beer, or that I just ran away from it. It'd be nice if there was an easy way to get rid of these curses.
