Volg & Euphie: Starting a new life

Atia had allowed them all to return home. Though she was gracious enough to do a few other things as well. She allowed some to go home and allowed them to bring another person with them. Some of them had terrible fates waiting for them in their world, and going with someone was a way to escape that.

Not only that, but she let them take their funds with them. Money accumulated in Atia transferred to their currency. And those that went to foreign worlds were setup in them, somewhat. Records and papers of their existence appear in all the right systems so they just wouldn't be someone that has no record at all of them.

It was like that with Euphie. She'd come back to Volg's world with him. She's been living with him for the last two weeks in his New York City apartment. And he felt bad because it was so small. But because of the money from Atia and the money from becoming a boxing champion, he was able to afford a bigger place. A place they were currently in the middle of moving in now.

Volg had more stuff than her, so the bulk of it was his. He carried a box of clothes into the place. He was just wearing a pair of shorts, tennis shoes and a sleeveless shirt. Hefting the boxes was so simple for him. He placed the box down in what would be their living room and chuckled a bit.

"Only about a dozen more boxes and we will be finished."

She laughs softly. "Yes, I might be ready to be a boxing champion myself by the time this is over. It's probably the most workout I've had in months." Then again some of the things Atia exposed them to should count as a workout, but she's hardly going to joke about something like that so casually. There are times she still reaches up to touch her throat, surprised to find nothing pinching at it or resting there at all. She used to wear necklaces and chokers all the time, but sh hasn't been able to bring herself to do the same yet. Maybe eventually. Until then she'll have to settle for a simple, unaccented floral sundress as she moves. It's about as dressed down as she usually gets.

"You're new home is really lovely." And she does absolutely think of it as his home even though she'll be staying there with him, something she's grateful for.

"There probably are weights in some of them, right?" A guy with a gym background was bound to have some. She sets a significantly lighter box down near the fireplace before smiling in his direction.

"Thank you. All of this has been beyond generous and sweet of you. I admit it's...different being in a new world when the other people there have always been there." She feels so much more out of place here than she ever could have on the island. Though it does remind her somewhat of the culture shock of exploring Area 11 on her own in disguise or at least what passed for a disguise.

It's not easy. And it was a hard decision to leave Atia's offer of simply staying on another island there. Everyone would have been in it together, but so few were taking that option. And if she didn't bring new people to the island then there was no hope of seeing any of her friends or family again anyway. At least here she knows Volg and it seems like a good world. One she might be able to make a start for herself in. It's strange thinking of starting over so completely, but it's a chance she was never supposed to have at all. She was grateful for it and maybe a little excited if also nervous and longing for people she'd never see again.

"I'm sure it will get easier every day. What about you? Is it good to be home or is it more complicated than that?"

"I can't imagine anyone is exactly the same after that. Everything we learned and saw." She trails off for a moment before adding, "and did." She doesn't say it with regret exactly, but it seems to weigh on her.

"Thank you for inviting me. I can't imagine how much this must be rearranging your life just having me here. You did already get a new place to live because of it." At lest she assumes she factored into that decision.

"I will do my best to think of it that way. I wish I had managed to come with more from the island." For his sake more than her own. It wasn't nothing, but she'd only been there a few months before the end. If she'd never left it would have been quite a bit even with her charitable giving since she'd owned so many businesses.

They did seem to fall into her lap, didn't they? But they came at a high cost—losing people she cared about.

"I have thought about it, but really have no idea." It's a little intimidating honestly. "I never expected anything like this." She never really entertained ideas outside of doing what was needed and expected of her at home. And then on the island things just came to her. She rarely ever chose the work she wanted and when she did it was volunteering which won't help here.

Unfortunately, she has less confidence in her abilities. "I never really finished school back home. I had to leave early to help with Ar...Japan."

"I suppose that's true. I was just trying to do my best with what I was left. The people before me usually put such thought and care into their set ups. It made it easy."

She looks up curiously. "Do you really think I could?"

"I'd like that, Volg. Thank you." She smiles gratefully at him. He's been wonderful through all of this. "I would think I should get a job too. You've had to pay for everything."
