Jeong’s POV
When entering through the back door I motion Rae to take a seat at the kitchen table. Just as soon as Rae sat down Jean brought over a few plates of food.
“Thank you” Rae said with a smile before digging in.
Jean brings over another plate while pulling the chair out for me to sit “Thanks Jean, but I’ve already eaten.” Turning to Rae “Don’t forget to come to my study when you’re done.”
Rae nods her head while chewing her food and continuing to eat.
I don’t mind, she hasn’t eaten in over a day. Her body needs as much nutrition as she can get right now to combat the overload effects.
Leaving the kitchen I head towards the sitting room. Upon reaching the sitting room I see Dr Willard casually thumbing through a book. “Good morning Dr Willard. I apologize for your wait, my me
Rae’s POV It’s been a week and Dr Willard has been here every day teaching me about the benefits of plants from this world. With his help I’ve even managed to figure out the saponification values of the oils I intend to use. Currently Dr Willard and Nathan are both in the library with me. Dr Willard with a sad expression “My Dear, you’ve picked everything up so fast that I have nothing left to teach you. Even your notes put me to shame.” Thumbing through the collection of notes I’ve been meticulously compiling over the last week. He let’s out a sigh, “It saddens me that I may no longer have an excuse to come visit you.” Nathan is leaning over my shoulder looking at my notes “I still can’t understand a thing written there.” Before taking a seat next to me “I can’t wait until you make soap out of this. I wanna see how plants get turned into soap.” Dr Willard looks excited
Rae’s POVJeong and I meet up with Gerald and explained what I was needing about making the soap. After a bit of a discussion it was decided to create a workshop right off the house with an added covered area outside. That way I can make the soap outside, but store everything including the curing soap inside, and lucky for me it wasn’t far from the back door. It’s a win win if you ask me.After dinner I was eager to start working on building my new work space, but Jeong protested. He claimed I needed to rest and not over do it. So here I am, in my room lounging on my couch looking out the window at the stars. Try as I might I can’t seem to fall asleep. I feel so excited that my brain just wont calm down.I hear a click.“Why aren’t you sleeping?”Turning to look I see Jeong leaning against the door frame that separates his room from mine.
Jeong’s POVEven though it means nothing but when I heard her say she was no longer with that man a sense of relief washed over me. After questioning the reason why she separated from him I am beginning to regret my decision to ask. I can see her fighting back tears but all I can do is reach out for her to show her I care and I’m here for her.With her eyes glassed over trying to hold the tears Rae continues her story. “I remember one of the times he busted my face up pretty bad making me almost unrecognizable. He wouldn’t allow me to go to the hospital or sleep. I had to fend for myself because he knew if he took me to the hospital he would be put in jail and if I slept I could have had a concussion where I might not have woken up. Towards the end he began meeting and sleeping with other women behind my back. Finally after twelve years I couldn’t stand it anymore and mustered up the courage to divorce him.&rdqu
Rae’s POVAfter a few days I can’t hold my excitement as I look at my new workspace. It’s completely catered to how I make and process soap, it’s perfect. I’ve mixed up all the different oils into their own batch and labeled them. I’m sure some of them will have no reaction to the lye. All I have to do is wait.I’m amazed at the weighing system here, if I didn’t know how powers worked I’d say it was magic. If you want a certain amount it will auto weigh the exact amount you want. There are so many little gadgets in this world that has harnessed powers from people. Jeong said that there are factories where people go there to literally pump their power into these devices, it’s the job they decided upon. I’m not sure how well I can get use to everything, but I’ve learned to expect the unexpected.Since there wasn’t anything more I could do but wai
Jeong’s POVWord of our little rebellion has begun to spread around causing annoying issues that need to be resolved. Some of the elites managed to put a stop to our in bound supplies needed for everyday life. I can’t have the people that side with me go without, worse case scenario they would leave if I left the issue unresolved.Nathan and I are meeting with some of the shop keepers and various business owners from our town today. Our goal is to figure out what we can produce on our own and what we can’t produce we find a different source to obtain it. We are also looking into possible trade routes as well to get a steady flow coming in and out.We need to be able to offer a reliable lifestyle having all needs meet as well as protection. If any of my people suffer it will only give more reason for the elites claiming it’s futile to change. Our goal is to stop the miss treatment of women proving
Jeong’s POVHow long does it take for a woman to use the bathroom? Linking in with Rae “Are you done yet? We are all here waiting on you.”I begin growing impatient until I heard her not within the link, but from behind me. “I’m right here, gez man.”What the? Turning around I’m shocked to see Rae. “How did you even get in here?” There is only one door and she clearly would have had to use it to enter. “You would have had to come through this door.” as I point backwards towards it.With a hand on her hip and a sassy tone “I’ve been here the whole time. What are you talking about?”What exactly is she trying to pull here?Nathan speaks up “You were literally just in the kitchen a moment ago. I know because I was talking with you before I ran here when you said I should hu
Rae’s POVI wish I could have played more of a joke on Jeong, but that was as much as Gerald allowed. It surprises me how he at times can be rather strict considering most of the time he does what he’s told and keeps quiet about it. I really wonder what his story is, why is he here?After my blink and teleport explanations to Jeong, he and Nathan left to his study to finish some left over paperwork from the day before. I on the other hand decided to head to my studio to see if any of the tester soaps were ready to be demolded. Gerald had nothing better to do and decided to tag along to see if I needed any help.Now the last few days Jean hasn’t been around much and I’ve been wondering what happened to her. “Gerald, what’s Jean been up to lately? I’ve noticed during meals she hasn’t been saying much then disappears.”“Her old wound has been a
Rae’s POVOver the last three weeks I’ve learned what I needed to from the different oils and made preliminary batches of soap. I figured Jean and Henry’s three women, ‘Helen, Rose, and Mandy’ would be the better subjects to test the soap. However I didn’t realize how hurt Jeong, Nathan, Gerald and Henry would be over it. So I also gave each of them some as well.During this time Jeong has been having me train non stop. They do have to dumb it down for me to understand though. Since powers to them are a normal every day thing, it’s hard for them to explain it to someone who doesn’t get it right off the bat. Luckily my vast knowledge of video games actually makes it easier for me to grasp a way to translate it into this power. Whoever said playing video games would never amount to anything clearly didn’t know what they were talking about when it comes to this world.Co
