"Boring without you," Vara says back as she wraps her arm around Trent's lower back and lays her head on his shoulder. "How have things been out here with Mariko?"

"Pretty good, other than, you know, this happening.." he says. "But I really missed you," he says, holding her tighter. |

Vara nods. "I'm sure having somebody in the Hess clan doesn't exactly help..." She says slightly bitterly as they near the hotel.

Ooc: I assume this is dead? How fitting,Trent and vara were here.
Mariko decides to go to the Luxor. She couldn't bear to be around vara,even separated by oodles of buses. Mariko has taken 3 baths in as many hours. She is sitting in a puffy chair in her prettiest silk kimono. If the executioner is going to get her,she wants to at least look pretty. "Oh envy." She says,hugging herself. |

Envy gets out of a horrible looking little cab in front of the Luxor hotel. She clears her throat and pays the driver. She looks like a real contrast to the horrid cab as she stands up, dressed as beautifully as she could manage. It was a tactic she had always thought of when she knew Pilgrim had cheated on her, to make herself look sexy to annoy and get at him. Her hair flows long, she is wearing a lacy bodice style shirt, matching lace black fingerless gloves and tight leather trousers. She is smoking a cigarette, which she tosses down and stamps out with her thigh high boot.
She walks into the hotel and after enquiring at the desk, she walks to the hotel room she knows Mariko is in. She takes a deep breath, keeping the serious look on her face and wiping away even the slightest sign of a tear before knocking the door. |

By the second knock,mariko's tears are flowing. She tries to wipe them away,but more seem to take their place. She opens the door. She sees the normally very pretty envy,now looking ravishing. Mariko crus harder and Wordlessly steps aside so envy can come in. " you need a drink of anything?" She asks in a small voice. |

Envy waits for the door to open, and when she hears Mariko move closer, she stands tall and brushes down her front. She shakes her head a little and is surprised to see Mariko cry when the door opens making it harder for her not to cry too. She sighs and fights the tears walking past Mariko. She did need a drink, but she didn't want to show Mariko that she needed anything at all. 'No," she says coldly and stands in the middle of the room. |

Mariko nods slightly. She pours a glass of water for herself and an extra. " just in case you want some later. " Mariko explains,sitting it on a small saucer. She takes a sip of her own water. " envy...." She starts,looking out the window,so envy won't see the tears dripping from her chin. " you could have broken up with me over the phone. I do not want you missing a show for me.....envy,I am so sorry. I do not even know how it happened. Before I knew it,I was there and they were there. I am so so sorry,envy. That bastard pilgrim probably gave you a fat " I told you so." Because of me." She shakes her head." You do not deserve this,envy." She says quietly. |

Envy looks around the room and takes a seat as far from Mariko as she can. She looks at the glass and then turns her face away from it. She makes sure she isn't crying, hiding the tissue in her hand so Mariko can't see it. 'I had to come anyway. Being there all day I would have just have had to listen to those two laughing at me. All day.' She sighs and then balls her fists as tight as she can. 'He managed to get online before me. Do you know something....the worst part is that I had to hear the news from him because he saw it on Twitter. His sneering face to be the one to tell me you don't care about me.' She takes a deep breath and stops for a minute because she feels tears coming. 'No! No I don't deserve it, Mariko! You could have kicked me, punched me, killed me even. After everything I've been through, the last thing I needed after trusting someone is for them to prove that everyone is the same!' She stands up, breathing heavily as the tears fall silently down her face. |

Mariko flinches with every word as envy gets louder. The cold bravado she had with vara has long since faded. Plus it would be foolish,as Mariko is in the wrong. She turns around,not caring if envy sees her cry. " he is wrong! I do care about you,envy. After not hearing from you for 6 days....I thought the worst. I thought you had found someone else,I thought you did not want to speak to me anymore." Mariko says,her reasoning sounding more desperate and made up each time she says it. She cries even harder now. Not for herself,but for envy and having to find out from her ex husband. " envy, I.....I M sorry I let you down." She says in a breaking voice. " I did not mean to." |

Envy starts to cry and brings her hands to her face. 'So six days without hearing from me just means you go and leap on the first person that you can? Mariko, you don't think when I've been in bars the last week I haven't had guys come up to me and try it on? You know what I told them? I told them I had a girlfriend! I don't buy that you did it because you didn't hear from me. I want the real reason and I want it now! You hurt me like you promised you wouldn't and you owe me an explanation.' She sits down, her whole body shaking, and stares at Mariko as if waiting for a reply. |

Mariko thinks and knows for sure envy probably had scores of people lining up for her attention. This makes mariko feel even shittier about what she has done. " the difference is I tried calling you! You never tried calling me." Mariko says,tossing her phone on the bed.her background is a pic of herself and envy. " Check the logs. 80 calls to you,never a a reply." Mariko wipes her face with the sleeve of her kimono. " this is not the time for the reason why. It will only look like I want sympathy. But I assure you it is not because I loved of even liked them. Trent is nice....though it will be weird now between us. Vara is a.. ...Baka buso!" She says,hating even the thought of that woman. |

Envy feels angry that it feels Mariko is trying to blame her. She shakes her head at her girlfriend and looks at the floor for a few minutes. 'Do you see the bus we are touring in? How do you suggest I charge my cell in there? My phone has been off Mariko! It's hard to answer it when I can't even get it to switch on!' She growls a little as she covers her own face and then looks down at the picture on Mariko's phone of the two of them together, trying not to cry. 'It IS the time for telling me why. I want to know why and unless you want me to just leave then you better tell me why,' she says. Her voice trembles as the tears threaten to come back again.

Mariko sighs." You are right. That bus looks to be a death trap. A phone charger and having the headlights on could cause a fire." She laughs weakly. "No! Please do not leave envy! Please! " Mariko pleads,jogging the few paces to where envy is. She paces slightly before siting on the floor across from envy. " ......everyone abandons me,envy. Everyone I have ever dated just stops calling.i thought for sure that is what happened. It does not excuse what I did,but that is the reason why I took not hearing from you as I did. Please forgive me,envy." Mariko says,finally looking at envy. |

Envy thinks for a long time, the silence in the room deafening. 'It was only six days, Mariko. Only six days. I don't understand why that suddenly means that jumping in bed with....not even one, but two people, is the best idea. I would never have done that to you ever. I been lying in the back of that horrid van every night just thinking 'it's all ok...because just another week of this and I get to go see Mariko.' But while I was thinking that...you were...you were with them.' She starts crying again. 'Behind my back, Mariko. When he did it it hurt but I knew about it back then. I knew what he was doing and I knew I couldn't trust him. I thought I could trust you. I thought you wouldn't hurt me like he did.' She puts her head in her hands and sobs. |

Mariko gets up and guzzles her glass of water. It seems whatever she drinks,just leaks right out of her eyes. The inevitable comparison to pilgrim makes Mariko sick to her stomach,as does thinking of poor envy in that van. " I am no better than him. In a way,I am worse. I at least gave you hope before fucking it all up. " she says quietly. " I am sorry you wasted your time on me. I never meant to hurt you like I have done. " she sits on the bed and fidgets with her phone.eventually erasing the background. " you can do better than me." She says trying to appear dignified while crying. |

Envy lifts her head to look around a few minutes later. She does so just in time to see Mariko delete their faces from her background. This fills her with another wave of sadness, feeling as if Mariko has just given up on her by doing that. 'Why did you delete us?' She asks, realising the symbolism in the whole thing as soon as the words are out of her mouth. She stares at Mariko. |

Mariko runs her hand through her hair. "I deleted us when I got on Trent and that stupid whore's bus. " Mariko says flatly,continuing to delete pictures. " I do not like reminders of what I have lost. Envy, I know you hate me for what I did.,.and you have every right to." Mariko says weakly. |

Envy sighs. 'So is that it then? You are just going to decide to walk away from me and not even try to realise that....why do you think I flew halfway around the world, Mariko? Why?' She almost shouts it at her. 'You could at least try to look like you care.' |

Mariko shakes her head. " I do care...very much. I have never cared more about anything in my life,envy. I do love you,envy. That is why I am making it easy for you to leave me. " she stands up and starts pacing the room. " do you not think I want to be screaming and begging you not to leave me ? I love you,envy. I want to grab you around the ankles so you cannot leave,like I am a little kid. I want to hug you and promise that I will never fuck up again. But i do not want to hurt you more by putting you through that." Mariko says. Fiddling with her rings. |
