Agent Texas ★ Red vs. Blue ★ OTA

the mall

The fact that she's just awakening here doesn't really concern her as much as the fact that she's shackled down. She struggles against her bonds, even while the introduction reel is running, cursing loudly, but once she realizes the importance and significance of the text running above her head, she sullenly stops. Eventually she's released and she climbs out of the machine. She's wearing a Macy's employee badge, is dressed sharply in a suit with a skirt, and she finds her hair is up in a french twist.

The fact that Tex is in a human body, rather than some kind of robot or even disembodied, is confusing enough. Why is she dressed like a store clerk, a salesperson? She decides to march toward the nearest exit of the mall and remove the badge instead of going to Macy's. But this is painfully difficult to do. She feels drawn toward the store she's been assigned to, and not going there makes her steps stutter, become halting and slow. She makes an aggravated growl and heads there in the end, figuring there will be something there that will help her figure out how to get out of this role.

But of course, no such relief is coming to her. She simply stands in the furniture department at Macy's and waits for someone to come by so she can ask them to help her.

After the first week, Tex finds she's able to move away from the furniture department at Macy's, and she finds herself something to wear in the other departments of the store. She feels protected by the thick sweater and leather jacket she picked out, and decides to brave the mist. She looks around after finding the discarded car keys and motions to anyone nearby.

"You want to make a break for it?"

Who else is here who doesn't belong here? I'm talking about waking up in this chickenshit town when you were definitely somewhere else before. Like, look, I can't say I'm not kind of grateful because I was about to be dead in the other place, but I don't really need to be fighting someone else's battles for them here.
