The days were getting longer and more dull in Los Paraiso as Metal Abyss spent time after time waiting for her faction to get it together. Between what happened with Ollie and Zuu never actually getting anything in order, Abyss was more or less on her own, doing mundane things all day throughout the city. It wasn't like it was any different from her regular things that she did before getting involved, but now, she was much more aware of all of the things that were going on in the background -- things that she was being excluded from, for whatever reason. She highly doubted it was due to her own safety, and in fact believed that it was much more of an actual forgetting that she existed.



Not that she could blame anyone at all for that. Her presence was more or less negligible, as it tended to be very often in most scenarios. That is what made her so good at what she did.



But because she no longer did do what she used to before being taken in by Zuu, she was out of a regularly playing gig. Even if she did manage to scrape by with what came from the faction, it wasn't enough to keep her from being ever so deathly bored all day and night. Something had to give. So finally, she decided that she would take her 'Work-For-Hire' attitude that she had when being paid to simply be a generic goth girl and apply it to something with a more surefire demand and pay rate -- professional mercenary work. She knew how to at least use a few weapons, like a gun, to a limited degree, and some blades.



So, whilst she awaited her boss, Zuu, to come back and give her an update or at least something of any importance to do, Metal Abyss went to where other people in the city frequented in order to find out the best way to get into some mercenary work. It didn't have to be a hit or a contract kill or anything, since mercenary work simply meant doing a job for a price, which tended to be something militant or violent. But not always. If she could help it, she could scrounge up some odd jobs that weren't at all associated with death. Here's hoping.

She ended up in the Industrial Sector, which had a nice a homey feel for her amongst all the cold and unfeeling metal towering over everything, devoid of much natural life. Sounded just like Abyss. Maybe this was where she belonged.

Nonchalantly popping some gum all the while, Metal Abyss got as deep as she possibly could in the Industrial Sector using only credentials she got from Raven's Beak as a faction and also any notoriety which would come from throwing Zuu's name and whatever necessary information about her around, hopefully giving her some secret leads on some work she could do. At this point, she'd likely take whatever was available. Plenty of jobs were less favorable than others, sure, but the ones that could be done quick, fast, and in a hurry were the ones that were the actual prime-cut. Nothing that involved any waiting or baiting or luring or anything. Those were always pretty boring, anyway.

In the midst of also looking for any under the table jobs, Abyss also made some petty chitchat about any random information, skulking about the people in the Industrial Sector to pick out what they knew. Someone knew something about something, and anything from anyone was useful for someone that could go in any direction from basically nowhere. A set path wasn't anything to be found, but to be set, and the only way to do that was to know where the trail was already lain. Simple sleuth work -- something she also had a bit of expertise in, due to the nature of her last employment before Raven's Beak. It was a shame what happened to them, and Abyss couldn't at all put together what would have made them disband so quickly...

Was it what she did? Something about Ollie? Last she checked, he wasn't feeling so great about her because she got a little excited, and he took it personally. Not like that was anything new, but she didn't expect something like that to lead to this. Bothersome as it might have been, it wasn't something to dwell on -- she learned that a long, long time ago. If they were going to halt all motion, fine, but life still went on, collectively or otherwise. She still had to do for herself, and now, even more so than ever. Hopefully Ollie wasn't out to get her now... It wouldn't at all be unexpected in a place like this, but it wasn't something she just wanted to invite. Making enemies was never about actively trying to go out and do it, which was the worst part about that... And she typically made enemies pretty easily, even keeping to herself and being fully deadpan. It was like a talent, she guessed.

Time talking to others and gaining bits and pieces of info about goings on during the time of the breakup kept her preoccupied and stationed at the Industrial Sector, where she'd get chummy with the people there, so they'd help her out with places of shelter and food and whatever else necessary. Despite how easily Zuu flies off the handle, she didn't seem the one to... Intend to betray her without just cause. That might have only been a matter of interest, but it still meant that there was no actual wish to take her out. But Ollie, she couldn't be sure about. He never seemed like he really liked her at all, as opposed to Zuu, who generally... Did.

No matter what, hiding out here was best, and also at least taking some bit of reflective time to think about the undertones going on. She really didn't want to have to apply herself at all to even look into such things, but maybe it was just important for the type of people that were on this island. They were almost all shady shysters and criminals and crooked in some way, so any kind of direct communication be damned, unless it was to execute a hit. Sad that she even knew that about this type of life -- maybe she was further in it than she actually realized when she was hounded all the time by Snoop. Guess she learned a lot. Whoopie.

Mulling over it was as bothersome as the incident itself. This was indeed an island, so it wasn't like it was going to be easy to avoid people, even when people go out of their way all day to be avoided. Unlike with an open area to travel beyond, it would be much sooner and much more often that they'd be likely to see each other again, just because of such limitations of the terrain. Even with a large land mass, there was a less likely chance to run into someone twice, even when living in a close proximity, and that was only because they would walk to a farther location and be gone longer. That extra land mass not being there confined them, so a meeting was inevitable... Rue as she was about it.

Did she have to kill someone? Fight them? Were factions involved? Did anyone actually really care? What was going on? Did anyone even actually know she existed? Zuu was pretty tight-lipped... So maybe no one even knew about her. Could be advantageous, especially for keeping a nice cover and lying low. No one would be after her at all unless Zuu or Ollie said something, most likely, and it was looking like only Ollie would be the one to set that in motion. He did have a hint of angst in his voice that last time which perhaps had traces of vendetta in the tones. It was always a possibility. But no need to act on anything like that. She just knew that she couldn't be too careful.

"... This is dumb," she concluded for maybe the hundredth time as she lay atop a metallic surface, staring at the sky. "... I'm sure no one's actually thinking about me, though." That was actually the likeliest of scenarios, but it was also still too convenient. She'd go along with it for now, but always remain... Cautious. In doing that, she'd seek solace in the people whom she'd become friendly with in the Industrial Sector, so they would all be familiar with her and willing to assist her should anyone come looking for her.

Guess this was Metal Abyss' home base now until further notice.

Abyss found herself rooming with different people for different periods of time, since there were some people who were encamped close to the heart of the Industrial Sector solely for convenience. She might have had to pass around a few favors, but it wasn't like she didn't enjoy herself in the process, to the extent that she could. A good lay every night was always a nice relief, at the end of the day. Plus, it wasn't like the people -- male or female -- objected to such arrangements. She didn't think she was too high-maintenance, and in-house bedding was quite the benefit for them all. Quite the nice little mutual arrangement.

She didn't always stay with someone, though. Abyss made certain to also have herself some personal hideaways littered about that only she knew about, in case anything should go down. She sighed all the while as she did all these things, almost like she was on auto-pilot doing very tedious, mundane things that she didn't want to -- like waking up to go to work every day. Granted, her work didn't ever look the same as anyone else's, but waking up to work a fucking job was still what it was at the end of the day, if you're working the job just to get the money and aren't really invested in the work. It was all but an old song and dance to Metal Abyss, bearing mementos of the past she thought was somewhat behind her, as very short a time ago that was.

No matter how successful she was at... Basically doing very common, basic, generic, everyday things all day, no matter for what cause, she was still quite secretly loathe of it. It was sometimes the absolute most unbearably boring thing. She found herself in places of solace and solitude quite often, especially at night, or when everyone was working. She would soon be as regular to them as they were regular to their own jobs. They'd become accustom to her presence, their conversations, the exchange of information, and any level of interaction that would go on. Still, socializing with people so often was like a grating clawing in her mind that really irritated her soul, frustrating her heart, which would constrict itself and become harder and colder, despite what so much social interaction would do to regular people.

But nothing seemed like it changed at all on the outside with her. She still acted the same way every single day, no matter what was going on inside, if anything at all. If she needed to, she'd just go off and be alone -- none had any commitments to her, and neither she they to them. Therefore, no one felt at all attached or responsible in ways that weren't of direct benefit, giving Abyss freedom to roam as she pleased, even if someone should wish for her company. Surviving as she might be, it wasn't at all a quench to the irritations of her soul, which she dealt with by staring blankly out into the horizon for extended periods of time until her inner frustration was quieted enough for her to function again.

Inevitably, to keep herself occupied, Metal Abyss would join the Industrial Sector workers with what they did, helping out here and there with the most menial things for petty cash. It was good to get some money and keep herself preoccupied, but it also made it seem like she actually worked there, which would keep her also covered. She didn't mind keeping up an appearance -- wasn't too different from what she did every single day, to some degree. It was clear to her more than ever that opening up and revealing herself was definitely not the move in this place. Though, when was it ever, in any place? That, she couldn't seem to figure out, save for when she was by herself, completely and only.

So she went on working and mingling and carrying on, saving up small petty cash and making minimal splurges, if any. It wasn't like she wanted or wanted to do anything at all. Might try some of that Magia one day, just to get a high going, see what that's all about. Metal Abyss sighed and closed her eyes. This was such an annoying experience. But it did beat being the pride and joy of Snoop. Being by herself trumped being paid to be near anyone any day, anytime. Always.

But what didn't pay was the waste of her talents, which she could also not tolerate in herself. She was fine feeling poorly about the rest of the world, but not about herself. It didn't matter what anyone else said or thought or felt -- all that mattered was that she was doing what she was best at to the best of her ability to get what she wanted. She had to make sure she would always be useful to someone, and keep an eye out for someone that might be needing to make use of someone. It was just a shame she couldn't get any deeper info from the Industrial Sector. Likely because they wanted to keep surface conversation prevalent and minimize any kind of underhanded talk, especially to a new outsider. Understandable, surely. She wasn't going to put them on alert by starting to ask questions, even if they had warmed up to her. They could easily report back and then be told to get rid of her, and she'd just be a sitting duck. She figured playing her cards close to her chest would be of greatest tactic here, if she wanted to keep her life from potentially being senselessly endangered.

Though, she couldn't find out why she'd be questing to keep herself alive at all. It must have been more to 'entertain herself whilst she was living long enough to not be bored'. If she didn't have to die, she wasn't going to go asking for it. Still couldn't exactly figure out why, though, assuredly.

Either way, Abyss had to venture out now and go in an area that was more prone to normal underhanded exchange; a place where they'd be expecting to do shady business, so everyone is already looking for someone, as opposed where it is kept secret, and no one is looking for anyone to do anything shady with. She'd gotten enough information from hearsay alone to know at least a few places to check out.

Guess she was on the road again. Hooray.
