/     YIPPIE

@testedsoul   pookster  </3  i’ve missed you too

@likeholy    an unfortunate series of events.   trust me,   you don’t want to know.

∗   hi <3

/    yippie 

/  mother is baaaaack‼️ 

@diregen    noted..   [ her hand moves away and takes a slow step back,  staring at the specimen from a safe distance ]  what is it?

@tsararc   right,   well—  you’re lucky my arm is still sore from a blood draw and that you wear a helmet.   i could’ve seriously hurt you.   [ deniz reaches down to pick up the bat from the floor,   dusting it off and promptly stashing it away in the space between the couch and the wall.   ]   oh.  stop by for what?   [ it does not occur to her that the point of his visit could merely be as a kindness—something that friends typically do when they are visiting from out of town. ]   did you need something?  is it related to the something that you’re scouting?

@lacrymosas  trying to not get hit with a /bat/ [nate had already forgiven her for it, though.  he would have done the same if some dragon—masked figure somehow made their way into his humble abode.   with that in mind,  he also refrained from telling her about the scaled beast waiting for him outside.  hidden from public eye, (thankfully) but still fairly present]    was scouting the area for something — thought i’d stop by. 

@tsararc    [ the color drains from her face when she realizes who it is and immediately drops her bat.   the twinge of guilt the might’ve felt was soon replaced with irritation. ]   you can’t just sneak up on a person like that!   what are you doing here??

nah,  maybe this was a bad idea.  i mean,  of course it is.  i didn’t mean this to happen,  deniz,  honest.  [getting away from the window,  vince rubs his hands along his pants,  eyes wandering the office]  maybe it’s fine?  it could be that;  a coincidence.  yeah  ..  yeah!  what the hell am i  …  but that’s just / too / coincidental.  couple her weird appearances with all those notes i’ve been getting…

@testedsoul    coincidence,   perhaps?   maybe she has an appointment with one of the doctors in the hospital?   [ that was her being hopeful,   but she could see that this clearly rattles him.   who was this person?   and why is he so scared of them? ]   if anything,   this might be the safest place to be if you *are* being followed.   we have security.

i don’t know,  that’s the problem.  [he’s pacing the floor,  splitting the blinds to peek out the windows]  maybe they’re not,  but i’m sure i’ve seen this woman before.  and i’m talkin’ days ago.  why would she be out there today of all days?

@lacrymosas / intro ?

/  what if i did?  huh?  so what?  yespleasewhateveryouarefeeling

/     grins 

@testedsoul   once upon a time,  sure.  i used to go camping with my father.   he loves the outdoors more than anyone i know.  he tried getting me into it as much as possible when i was young,  but uh..  [ she pauses momentarily,  hands digging into the pockets of her coat in attempts to find warmth. ]  you know the story.   /bear/.   it quickly ruined the deep-in-the-woods experience for me, which is why i haven’t gone back.  parks are fine.

i didn’t know you were a deep-in-the-woods kinda gal,  deniz.

@testedsoul   peace and quiet once you learn to drown out the sounds of cars and sirens.   you should hear how quiet it gets when you’re deep in the woods at night.   nothing but the sound of wildlife and your own breathing.

/  give it to me rachelll
