After being purchased, Joy Ann wandered through the casino in a haze for awhile. Her neck felt as light as a cloud without the collar weighing her down. Her thoughts were overwhelmed by the relief she felt for being able to see the world outside of the casino again, but her selfless instinct kept nagging at her. She really, really wanted to leave, but she had a feeling there was something else that she was supposed to remember to do before she left.... That's right, Shaun! She had to find Shaun, and Autumn, and the rest of her faction really! They all had to be purchased before any of them could go home. As strange as their home was.
"E-excuse me," Joy Ann gathered her courage and tapped the nearest person on the shoulder. "Have you seen a tall young man, about this high," she lifted her hand to demonstrate Shaun's rough height, as far as she remembered it, "sorta pale, blonde, maybe a pair of handcuffs clipped to one wrist? He answers to the name of Shaun... Shaun..." What was Shaun's last name anyhow?

Feel free to have your character be the one tapped on the shoulder or to overhear the question and answer if you'd like! ...Or we could take the thread in a completely different direction. Mmm, ORP options!

Shaun had heard that Joy and Autumn were safe, but he had to be sure. He had to absolutely be sure. So, he went through the casino, making sure that other Jailbirds he saw (it was a pretty great nickname) were free of their collars too... He wanted to thank his benefactor someday, in some form, hopefully in some mutually beneficial way... not that he was thinking about anything in particular, nope, he was totally not an 18 year old kid, nope... wait, he totally was. Thank goodness no one could read his thoughts – they were quite blushworthy.
Anyway, that aside
Were they here? He almost prayed they weren't... Oh! “Joy!” he called, “Joy Ann!” he waved at her over the bright flashing lights, “Joy Ann! Are you okay?!”

Character's name: Shaun Sawyer Character's faction: Prison Character's Rank: Officer Character's journal link:Link Character's survival stats: View BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF MY CHARACTER Pale white skin with freckles, pale blonde hair and blue eyes – Shaun looks like a young, handsome, somewhat washed out young man. His face was rounder in his childhood, and elongated with puberty, but he still looks like the imp that he is and was, and his body is lean but muscular and very flexible. He has a cute teddy bear (or is it a monkey?) backpack that he uses to carry stuff in. Its really cute.
Shaun is mischevious, easygoing, and very friendly but he's also a little reckless by nature, especially when showing off his acrobatics. He needs people and does not do well alone, so he makes a great teammate and will be as helpful as possible, but ultimately he is out for himself.
Joy Ann turned at the sound of half her name and then her full name, on the lips of the very person she had been looking for. Had he meant to say 'joy, Joy Ann!', because she was totally thinking, 'joy, it's Shaun!' right then.
"Shaun!" Joy Ann shouted back in happiness, turning and running towards the teenager to hug him with relief. "You're alive! They didn't shoot you, oh, I was so afraid they'd shoot you," she babbled. Now she was free, and he was-- She checked, looking carefully to make sure he wasn't hiding his collar or wearing it as alternative jewelry somehow. "No collar? You're okay? You've got enough coins?"
"Oh Shaun, I was going to try to buy you but I didn't have enough coins, and I don't know how to gamble and I lost Autumn although she knows how to gamble, and oh Shaun this place is absolutely horrible." As soon as she got out of there, Shaun's name was going to be changed to O'Shaun, and she was making a pledge to stay away from fireworks in the future. No more fireworks, not even on new years. "You are okay, right?" she finally asked, pausing to let him answer. She probably should have tried to be better at listening before then.

Shaun hugged her back with equal enthusiasm. Oh thank god, she was here. Oh s**t, she was here. “They... they didn't shoot me, no.” He didn't want to think about it. He checked her for a collar and felt himself relax with relief at not finding one on her. She was free. She was safe. Thank god. “Someone named Max bought me – I think they were from the prison and...” he hugged her again – she gave such nice hugs, and he felt so... safe... in them. “And I know... I know... This place is awful.” So why were they still here. “I'm okay, Joy.” he said, nodding. “Are you trying to get other people out, too?” Besides him, that is.
