[Unfortunately, Rodya is no stranger to terrible alarms. The ones back on her company bus are loud and ear-piercing enough that it could kill someone if they last too long. This time? The alarm is going off in the oculars in her eyes with both sound and colors that she could get a headache from it as soon as it started.

Teleportation still makes her uneasy due to horrors from back home and witnessing some side effects that people gotten, but she hides any discomfort from her face with her usual smile and she offers her hand out in the moment.]

Ready to go? They will probably push us in there if we don't go in ourselves.

[Forced portal entry may not happen, but hey there is always a chance! Plus if holding hands help make it easier to avoid sickness, she might as well try it out. It's innocent enough.]

[Once she figured out what kind of place they were at, her energy spiked drastically. It's hot and it's similiar to J Corp's district, but this is her element!!! Rodya wasted zero time to getWhen it was possible, she did get dressed in lighter clothing that will help her fight the heat through her upgrade. Black sleeveless crop top, matching pants, large sunglasses and her hair is actually been put up in a messy bun for once. It's both trendy yet comfortable and enough to blend in with the common Vegas looks. She can be found in various spots:

a.) Casinos, obviously. She will be at the card tables, chatting and playing away. Anyone is free to come sit with her, watch or even learn how to play one of Vegas' various card games that are used in casinos. She is happy to teach anyone that is interested!

b.) Shopping at various stores, where she may drag you in with her if you are standing around nearby. Look, sometimes you need a second opinion or a dress up victim if clothes are involved. Shops that contain jewelry, gifts, or any other interesting things is also on the table for exploring.

c.) Among the various bars and restaurants, splurging on food and drinks. She's been drinking more alcohol than water all day so that's going to bite her back later.

d.) She will either be going to go crash in her hotel room for either drinking too much, burning out her energy too quickly or both. Or she might end up taking a seat in the hotel hallway since there is a chance that she didn't make it. She's fine! She needs to sit down for a little longer, she's fine!

Of course, she might check out other hotel facilities such as the spa or other activities if they end up in her sights.]

[Among the thrill of gambling and enjoying what Vegas has to offer, breaks are still important no matter where you go and what you do. Taking a break is sometimes sitting in the shade on the Vegas strip (with water this time!!!) and watch the people go on with their lives, even when they are plagued with a bigger problem than usual.

Two locals have gotten themselves into a scuffle, most likely under the influence of whatever it is out there. Their odd behavior and aggression levels very much give it away, but Rodya doesn't jump in to break the fight or anything. She doesn't want to get that sort of attention on her and she is enjoying her break before the concept of work creeps back on her and ruins her brief peace. Observation still has it's perks and who knows, something could happen out of it.]

Soo... I bet the guy on the left is going to knock out the other guy first.

[Girl, quit making everything a game or a joke.]

[This prompt is basically open for any van and desert moments that the team gets into as they travel, investigate, or take a break with random chatter.

Rodya will be taking turns to help drive since she did take the crash course, but sorry she will be going mostly max speed and be a reckless driver so have fun with that until you guys ban her from the wheel.]

[Anything goes, let me know if you want a special prompt or you can throw anything at me! Rodya will be exploring and gambling most of the time during the Vegas stay before everyone goes off in the desert!]

[... ... ... Yeah! Nope! Not right now we are not!

It's not the first time that Rodya dealt a gigantic creature at all, but the sight of the worm absolutely disgusts her and she looked away as soon as she noticed a small glow started to grow. The heat and certain event already got her in a mood so add a headache to everything else is making it worse.

Thankfully, her sanity is still clinging on despite the negative effects so she is trying to wrestle people back into a van and away from getting lost in the desert. Regardless if you have lost your mind or are lost in confusion, she is reaching out to grab your arm to pull you back.]

Come on! Gotta get out of here! Forget whatever you saw out there! It's all in your head!

[Either you were passing by or you have been spending time with Rodya in some fashion, but at some point you got pulled in a dream. The temperature took a drastic drop from the Vegas heat to a heavy cold, but the dream is kind enough to drape at least one coat over your body. If you think hard on it, you could summon more coats for warmth. No matter how many layers you manifest or you have a tolerance to the cold, you can still feel it. It's not a comforting or refreshing type of cold. Far from it.

You appear in a very spacious prison cell with brick walls and ice coating on every surface. There are wooden(?) figures on the floor covered in cuts and dried blood, in which the floor underneath them also is decorated in various blood stains. Looking outside the one cell window is another unsettling sight, in which it's a prison yard of white and red thanks to the various dead bodies littered around it. There is wind blowing, but the snowfall is oddly gentle that it's eerie.

One of the walls has a glowing rectangle as if it's prepared to show something. Rodya is here as well leaning on the wall of the opposite side, in black clothes and a striped fur coat, silent as she stares at the glowing space. She has been through this before, but it's still not easy.

((Basically select a memory and I can write up a starter or reply based on your choice! These are mostly not happy memories, but they do exist via light interactions with rodya and her co-workers and I can write up something with that too. Characters are free to react to the setting because surprise... This is her room back home.))]

Seriously?! Give me a break!

[Back at Vegas and Rodya has been dealing with blindness in one eye while the other eye sometimes glitches out every now and then. It has been improving, but during the day, she makes sudden stops and stands there when she loses her better eye and gains a temporary blindness. Literally standing here like 🧍‍♂️ while her hands curl into a fist out of frustration. Some spots she is lucky, but standing in a high traffic area, she carefully moves towards the wall in an attempt to get out of the way. If she feels someone approaching her, she tenses up and points to... a random direction! Hopefully it's towards you! Sorry if she hits you, but girl is in defense mode right now.]

Don't do anything funny. I mean it.

[She will still fight like hell like this!!! Unless you have already been resting around her when this happens, then she would be a little more relaxed if she already knows you to a degree.]

[More anything goes, hit me up if you have questions or want a custom starter! The storm chasers prompt is also available if you want it!]
