First Flame [Voice] [Backdated to the 13th]

[goldenflames]

[Another day, another newbie, but this one is a lot more friendly than the last one. Yelena is new to the network, after an incident some weeks ago involving some goons and a cornered Numbered just happened to result in the revelation that she herself is Numbered. All she has to go on is some weird memory and some numbers she can recall perfectly.]

So... Ever get the feeling life's going to get a lot more interesting? [She's not sure if she can call it a 'good' interesting or a 'bad' interesting.]

Name's Yelena. Yelena Lyre. I hear my cousin's one of you guys, huh? [Those Mafia goons have made it personal when they went after Robyn. Sure, she doesn't see her much, but still, nobody pushes Robyn around if she can help it!]

... Erm, possibly? Unless it's a last name coincidence.

Also, hi.

[goldenflames]

Well, unless there's another Robyn Lyre around...

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

Then most likely, it's the same person.

... And her life's been weird lately.

[charcoalfeather]

[Rakka hadn't really been planning on responding to posts for a while, but when she heard the girl's last name, she had to tune in.]

You're Robyn's cousin?

[goldenflames]

[Well, she pretty much wouldn't blame her if she knew what Rakka had been through lately.]

Yep. [Her cheerful voice grows soft.] Hey, is she doing okay now?

[charcoalfeather]

Uh, [Her expression flickered briefly, thoughtful to a little worried.]

Yeah, I think so. She's not hurt or anything, but she's been through a lot.

[onecream_fivesugar]

[This is certainly an interesting twist on her already complicated life. She had to admit it was kind of nice to see another family member on here, one less person to keep secrets from. ...And one more person she had to get know a bit better, not that it was a bad thing or anything.]

Hey, fancy seeing you here.

Uhmmm... Where exactly did you hear that?

[She was far from good at keeping this whole thing a secret, but she didn't think she was awful at it either She was curious.]

I mean-not that it's not true or anything.

Got permission, of course.

[goldenflames]

[Sorry Robyn, you getting kidnapped was kind of a big deal considering the reason it happened. So yeah, a certain someone in the know told her about the Numbered thing.]

Hey cuz, how're you feeling?

I kind of mentioned getting Numbers to your dad.

I figured as much!

[onecream_fivesugar]

...Betterish then I felt before.

[Actually feeling even better to know she's got more family on here.]

Wow, well that makes a whole lot of sense actually.

[She wasn't upset or anything, just a little surprised is all. She didn't think telling her dad about the network and how the numbers worked would be so... helpful]

Welcome to the club?

[goldenflames]

[And it's family that knows how to fight and is more than willing to teach Robyn her skills.]

I figured you needed a guardian angel, so... Here I am.

[voice]

[stopinthenameofawe]

[..............are you serious, universe.]

Please tell me you're joking.

[damnit she's going to get attached to you know too isn't she ugh family.]

Re: [voice]

[goldenflames]

[Oh hey, she didn't expect to see her aunt here.]

Nope. Looks like your day is going to get more punny.

[voice]

[stopinthenameofawe]

[oh god.]

Not in the mood, Yelena. [fun aunt is feeling cranky.]

[voice]

[goldenflames]

Wow, auntie. What's eatin' you?

[Why so serious, aunt Melissa?]

[Voice]

[prismaticdestruction]

Oh! It's not a good time to be joining us...but still!

[Voice]

[goldenflames]

Sure, maybe not, but hey, I don't go down easy. How's it going, kiddo?

[She knows that little voice anywhere. It's nice to hear she's okay.]

[Voice]

[prismaticdestruction]

I can tell. It's good with everything bad going on.

It's going okay. Just trying to figure out what to do since the big mess and bad things. Mostly playing games.

[More like burying herself in them to escape everything.]

Re: [Voice]

[goldenflames]

[Which wouldn't sound healthy to her.]

Some mess, huh? Good to see you're doing okay.

[gogoghostpowers]

Lyre--as in like, Robyn Lyre?

[video]

[goldenflames]

[Hi, have an image of a tall blonde teenager.]

Yep. I'm gonna go ahead and assume you know her.

[video]

[gogoghostpowers]

[Oh yeah, you know, I got her beat up and then saved her from a kidnapping, no big.]

Uh, yeah, we...share a lot of classes in school.

[His wince makes it clear that that's not the whole story.]

Voice.

[flamberge]

So then you would be Melissa's niece?

[Asks the clueless boyfriend. Her family just keeps on multiplying, don't it?]

Re: Voice.

[goldenflames]

Yep. How's it going?

[Well, it's not as if she wasn't around Locke already. The echoes, the network, those were kind of a recent thing for her.]

Voice.

[flamberge]

Well enough.

[You know, aside learning from someone other than his girlfriend about her having more family here.]

Have you only recently arrived in the city?

[voice]

[ruleorserve]

With surprising frequency, these days.

[Being interesting, he means, even if it's not always a good sort of interesting.]
