Welcome to Gaia! ::

That whole alternate timeline thing had rather forcefully thrown Abbi for a massive loop she was unable to really shake herself out of. How was she expected to deal with, on top of all the other stuff she already had on her proverbial plate, the existence of alternate timelines. Like, what even?! Sure, she had watched that one tv show she liked a bunch about the kids at community college and there was the episode about alternate timelines but this was reality and for all her play of things like video games and movies imitating real life, she knew it wasn't real and now it kind of was?!
Abbi just did not know what do.
There were a lot of feelings the teen had regarding this particular situation, but after her initial wake up and realization of what had happened, she just wanted to move on. Not so much pretend it didn't happen as... Vehemently avoid the truth for a few days while she attempted to reconcile her feelings within herself.
Most of them honestly resolved around that little issue with Ripley and the whole Adoptive, Caring and Sweet Mother. That was... That was something Abbi preferred to actually pretend it hadn't existed entirely or else she would break down at random intervals during the day.

Already quite adept at ignoring the things in reality she did not quite enjoy, the girl was finding it increasingly difficult to apply her usual tactics to this situation. No friends? That's ok, video games were more fun! No idea what to do with one's future? Rereading your favorite book was a great choice! General anxiety woes? Sleep fixed everything!
But none of that worked. Not now.
The whole video games thing had not successfully made the transition over to Deus, and while Abbi had brought a number of books with her, they all couldn't hold her attention. And sleep was worst of all for that was how she had recalled that strange not-dream. Viveca had said it wasn't a dream, the weapon in Abbi's head constantly brought up how it had been real, it felt real, it was real only not anymore and that was... Slowly driving the teen up a wall.

In a fit of panic in the wee hours of morning light, Abbi slipped from her room with the idea that a good walk on the beach would set her straight. An honest dose of reality would fix her up and get her back to rights!
Too bad she was massively sleep deprived, dizzy from her worry and very cold so that she stumbled across the sand, too frozen to stick her arms out for balance when they were busy holding her warmth in... Stupid morning island chill...

Stubbornness has caused Abbi's fall, just a little trip really, nothing to get worked up about. But it had come at a bad time, right when the girl had been doing her best to push the thoughts about what could have been out of her head. Really, the whole night had been a mess and she should have known better than to go traipsing around without someone there. But there wasn't anyone she thought she could turn to. Ripley was her first choice but there was confusion and reluctance on his end so she didn't push. Stormy was always kind, but the girl held troubled eyes and Abbi was reluctant to bother her. Cass hadn't been seen in over a week and with no idea where to find her, it was just better to leave her alone than pile more worries onto her. And both Jack and Finn had already prove themselves incapable of therapeutic communication, so Abbi was left all alone on the beach, having tripped on her own feet and fallen, only able to mumble to herself and try not to cry.

The scolding from Viveca was doing wonders toward the opposite effect, but it was a noise from nearby that really got the girl to stop. With a gasp she looked around and saw someone approach her, hands fisting quickly against her face to wipe what tears had escaped away.
"Y-yeah! Just dandy! Peachy-keen! Never been better!" The teen chirped in a most unconvincing voice. "I-I mean, yanno... For as alright as someone who is wandering the beach in the super early morning c-can be..." A pause was interjected then as she shifted her gaze up to look at the dubious helper.
"Your walk is going better than mine, obviously."
