Been a long road to follow,
been there and gone tomorrow,
without saying goodbye to yesterday.
Are the memories I hold still valid?
Or have the tears deluded them?
Maybe this time tomorrow
the rain will cease to follow
and the mist will fade into one more today.
Something somewhere out there keeps calling.
Am I going home?
Will I hear someone singing solace to the silent moon?
Zero gravity what's it like?
Am I alone?
Is somebody there beyond these heavy aching feet..
Still the road keeps on telling me to go on.
Something is pulling me..
I feel the gravity of it all

Part V - Discovery

..((Ingolstadt, Germany. A place not exactly unfamiliar to those viewing this particular broadcast, but very peculiar to the main subject. Our new 'fiend' Lucy has just arrived 'home'. To her, it doesn't really look as though she would want to inhabit it. Lucy has long since changed her clothes from the eve of her accident, and is all clean and stuff. She has quite a few scabs though. Opening the creaking door, she steps inside. The living room.. or the basis of the house itself, is completely whitewashed. The room is completely devoid of decorations, except for little nooses hanging from each corner. There is hardly any furniture, with the exception of a black couch, a television with bunny ears ontop of it, a broken vanity table, and two barbie dolls strewn across the room. Lucy blinks, then shuts the creaking door to her new home..))..

[-x "Confused One" Lucy x-]
I.. live here? Eh.. I guess I could be worse off.

..((Lucy whistles, preparing to go explore the other sections of her house. But first, she takes a shower and whatnot. 15 minutes later!! Lucy comes back out of the shower place with a new change of clothes. She whistles a tune as she descends down a flight of stairs. She seemingly walks for a very long time, until she hits a hidden door. Lucy rubs her nose, then opens the door. It had lead into a seemingly long hallway, filled with... cocoons? Lucy furrows her brow and walks slowly over to one of them, her arms stretched slightly (in that kind of slinky catwalk type thing..don't want to make a noise). Her finger extends, gently poking one of the cocoons. It starts to scream as it becomes apparent.. there's a person inside there. Lucy quickly pulls back her arms, shrieking loudly. The remaining live people inside of their individual cocoons start to scream back. Lucy keeps shrieking as she runs back through the door, slamming it shut behind her. She blinks, breathing rapidly))..

[-x "Confused One" Lucy x-]
Oh dear god.. I'm a psycho.

..((Lucy blinks and starts to head up her stairs once more, completely ignoring all the screaming voices behind her. She regains her nice little composure as she reaches the top room. Shutting the door to the stairs, she heaves a long sigh. She walks over to the broken vanity table, and picks up a book. She reads an exerpt out of it..))..

Outwardly we were doctors only, but beneath the surface were aims of far greater and more terrible moment – for the essence of Herbert West's existence was a quest amid black and forbidden realms of the unknown, in which he hoped to uncover the secret of life and restore to perpetual animation the graveyard's cold clay. Such a quest demands strange materials, among them fresh human bodies; and in order to keep supplied with these indispensable things one must live quietly and not far from a place of informal interment. *

..((Lucy blinks slightly then places the book down on the table. She promptly stands up then takes her leave of the house. She turns to face it, her eyes wide))..

I think I can safely say that I'm never coming back here again.

..((With that final word said, she quickly starts walking down the street. About 30 more minutes of walking later, Lucy finds herself.. at an airport of all places. She pulls out a wallet from her rear pocket, and looks inside. With a shrug, she heads inside. She walks to the registry place, and places her arms on the counter))..

Um yeah hi.. What is the earliest time I can leave here on a plane thing?

[-x "Ticket Counter" Lady x-]
Guten tag! Ich spreche nicht Englisch, ich bin traurig!

[-x "Confused One" Lucy x-]
OH Nr., meine Störung. Was ist die früheste Zeit die ich gehen kann?

..((Lucy shakes her head as this sentence leaves her lips. The ticket counter lady smiles and types away on her little processer thing))..

[-x "Ticket Counter" Lady x-]
Der früheste Flug würde nach Atlanta, Georgia sein müssen. Gehen Sie?

[-x "Confused One" Lucy x-]
Yah, yah. Ich muß gerade gehen.

[-x "Ticket Counter" Lady x-]
(I'm going to translate everything for you people who don't know German)
Great! Okay, I need to see a photo ID, and about 300 euros.

..((Lucy pulls out a laminated card from her wallet and hands it to the lady. The lady looks at it for a moment, then back at Lucy))..

[-x "Ticket Counter" Lady x-]
Okay so your name is.. Shannon, correct?

[-x "Confused One" Lucy x-]
No it's Lu..Shannon. Yeah. That's my name.

..((Lucy laughs, somewhat intimidated. She hands over whatever the lady asked. The counter lady raises her eyebrow))..

[-x "Ticket Counter" Lady x-]
Okay so.. Shannon.. You can go now. Just follow the stream of people.

..((Lucy smiles sheepishly as the ticket lady hands her.. a ticket. She walks on her merry way off to an airplane! Yay!))..


Part V - Reconfiguration

..((A day or so later, Lucy lands in Atlanta, Georgia. She places her hands on her hips after she steps out of the plane))..

[-x "Confused One" Lucy x-]
Eh.. I guess this is where I'm going to be staying from now on.

Hey! I know you!

..((Lucy whirls around to find a guy looking at her with a wide eyed expression. She furrows her brow and tilts her head))..

[-x "Confused One" Lucy x-]
Umm.. can I help you?

[-x "Person" x-]
Yeah! I know you off the t-v! You're that Daffney chick! Hi, I'm CM Punk, I'm into wrestling too!

[-x "Confused One" Lucy x-]
No.. I'm Lucy dammit! Um.. I forgot I'm one of those wrestler chicks, aren't I?

[-x "Pepsi Plunge" CM Punk x-]
Yeah! Why do you sound funny? I thought you'd be like.. insulting me by now.

[-x "Confused One" Lucy x-]
I get that alot. So.. you know me from wrestling, do you? I profess, I don't think I know a thing of it.

[-x "Pepsi Plunge" CM Punk x-]
Well I think you have to.. you have that one match against that Chyna chick and Stephanie McMahon.

[-x "Confused One" Lucy x-]
Those names sound vaguely familiar. Damn it, alot of things do, alot of people's faces are so familiar.. I must have amnesia or something like that.

[-x "Pepsi Plunge" CM Punk x-]
Oh well.. you just have to get reorganized! I can help with that.

[-x "Confused One" Lucy x-]
Oh.. then by all means.. help?

[-x "Pepsi Plunge" CM Punk x-]
Alrighty.. we'll just go somewhere else besides the airport..

..((15 minutes later, at a chinese restaurant. (I know what you're asking: But Mel, a chinese restaurant? YES, DAMN YOU! I want to go to one.. I crave chinese food..) ))..

[-x "Pepsi Plunge" CM Punk x-]
Okay so basically your opponents are a girly-girl type chick and a she man muscle builder. They're a rather frightful sight, and they can be defeated with some ease if you know what you're doing. Would you?

[-x "Confused One" Lucy x-]
Probably not.

[-x "Pepsi Plunge" CM Punk x-]
Ah okay well let's just put it this way: If you want to defeat either of them, just try knocking them out in this first match. Then I'll try to help you rethink all of your moves and whatnot. I'll have you up and kicking ass in no time!

[-x "Confused One" Lucy x-]
Oh come on, I don't know anything! I'm not going to win..

[-x "Pepsi Plunge" CM Punk x-]
That's not the way to go about things! Alright?! Mmkay let's just put it this way: do your best with what you know. Does that make it so hard?

[-x "Confused One" Lucy x-]
Yes.

[-x "Pepsi Plunge" CM Punk x-]
Okay this is going to take more than I thought it would.

..((CM Punk sighs rather loudly as Lucy smiles sheepishly. The scene fades to black))..

Oh my god! Will Lucy have what it takes to defeat Chyna and Stephanie McMahon without having any wrestling knowledge whatsoever? Will Punk help Lucy to rediscover herself? WILL LUCY COME OUT VICTORIOUS?! All these answers and more, at Zero Tolerance!
