Sometime after Eponine speaks to her brother about what may have befallen the Inspector and the ever-generous Valjean, the gamine heads down the stairs with a gunnysack of supplies tossed over her shoulder, wearing the rags she'd donned the afternoon of her first appearance.
A lot has happened to her since her unexpected trip. She's been introduced to hope, good food, and met associates old and new.
Once, she lived for Marius - hung on his breath and his praise and his existence. She'd always labored beneath the weight of her own hopelessness, her own broken heart. But now she's seen that there's a world outside of her own, that she can live inside of it without clinging to the dead weed of her love for him.
She knows she needs to complete the circle, even so, and save Marius...but hopefully her own skin as well this time.
Pausing at the Bar, she begs for a piece of paper and a pen and writes a short note to her brother:
I'm going to the barricade. Got to finish things out for myself. Try not to worry, and don't follow.
Eppy
She takes one long, last look at the place when she gives the bar her note. Then she digs into the runsack, pulling out a black woolen mob cap. With a roguish grin she tucks the ends of her growing bob under it, then gives the place a playful salute before turning and leaving through her door.
Maybe there will be adventure in it for her after all.
[OOC: Time for Ep to finish going through canon. Open for reactions; I'll be bringing her back in Monday slightly wounded. Notice her on the way to her door, if you care to.]
