Whack-a-mole

Ya know, when someone tells you to take off the mask just take off the mask!!!

 

Ran into the new security guy today, things were fine until he walked out of his room wearing a mask and Amy just happened to be standing right next to me… Ever since she was kidnapped and had God knows what done to her by the mask wearing Jordan she has a developed this phobia to a covered face. She had to go, and fast, so I tried to explain to the new guy what was going on, hoping he would show a bit of compassion…

NOPE!

After what felt like hours of going back and forth the Manager of The Eights showed up and said there was a no mask rule because it was a risk to security… I kicked myself for not going with that approach but again… I was hoping for a human being not a military hardened machine! Yama showed up and tried to end the soon to come violence with talk, I was pissed off, Shawn the manager was pissed off, the security guy was pissed off… long story short Shawn tried to play whack-a-mole with the new guys head.

I admit… I was hopeful about the prospect of a little blood shed, I failed in my attempts to protect my sister from Jordan and this guy was being just as cold and uncaring as Jordan was sooooo I whipped out my little knife eager for the fight… Who the hell did this guy think he was? Showing up like he had been here even a fraction of the time I had been… I was not about to accept a heartless military robot as a protector. There is so much more to protect than just the body, the heart and soul need to be protected as well. At that moment The Eights deserved a better protector as it was not just a building but a community with people not inanimate objects!

To make it even better Yama jumped in between and yelled at me… at ME… The world stopped for a moment and I felt that I didn’t know him at all, no, more like he didn’t know me at all. My heart broke a bit in that moment but who cares about emotional pain right?

I DO!

Shawn left, promising to not accept another mess up from either Yama or the new guy and that it would be met with swift and harsh punishment, aka death.

I left, too cool down so I wouldn’t start trying to stab people and seriously… considering leaving The Eights, until  I came back to find Jet talking to Yama and the new guy. I walked in on part of the conversation, Jet asked for us to meet her half way… So I asked her what half way was? Because lets face it I am an 18 year old under educated woman with a lot of shit to deal with a serious urge to kill people who piss me off… Half way seemed like a long way to go.

So I will cut to tail end of this chaos and say, SURPRISE the new guy wasn’t as robot as he seemed to be, he… sort of said he was sorry to me, and even Amy when she showed up. Yama doesn’t seem to be talking to me, new guy misses his Xbox(whatever that is), Brianna aka B (who showed up off and on through all of this) didn’t know who she was anymore in this new world, Jet has a major headache,  I need to find some happy pills, and oh yeah Mama came back… But that is a story for another day.
