@shieldsagent-
“go ahead and say one more word— i’ll forget i’m supposed to be civil today.”
@sentimvntalist • * the brunette automatically opened her mouth to mutter a snarky comment but was quick to catch herself. instead she gestured for permission to speak * what’s got your panties in a twist today? somebody do something to your car?
“ what …? i’m not nearly awake enough for this. just come in ”
evangeline sighed a little rubbing her temple realising there was probably slim to no chance that she would be going back to sleep. “ i already have someone and ok ….going to the club is /definitely/ a no , right now you’re fun buzzed … drink any more than this and you’ll probably regret it in the morning ” she said trying to be the voice of reason but also there was no way in hell she was going to go clubbing “ we can hang out but pick something else to do… something less draining. i haven’t gone clubbing in about fifteen years ” she muttered finally running a hand through her hair as she properly blinked herself awake. she didn’t know why she was agreeing , she usually didn’t have the tolerance for these kinds of things but it felt wrong to turn her away.
@gmblersriot • wait, no. come on. * jelly like legs had her stumbling forward slightly just to catch eva’s arm * let’s do something. it’ll be fun. when do we ever get the chance to hang out let alone / do / something that doesn’t involve work? * alyssa stopped for a moment, closing her eyes and taking a deep breath as both hands gripped onto the others shoulders * i’ve got few more drinks left in me so i say we hit a club. maybe we can find someone for you whilst we’re there. now go and change into something sexy.
“ you can do whatever you want , make yourself at home. me ? I’m going back to bed ” she said dryly , she wasn’t very expressive in general but especially when she was half asleep , the idea of even doing anything didn’t cross her mind. “ there’s plenty of food in here , the living room is that way , the guest room is to your right down the hall upstairs , there’s spare clothes there. entertain yourself ” she hummed.
“ you know you’re going to do that at the wrong casino and get caught one day , you’re lucky i let you get away with that… ”
@gmblersriot • i do, but have you seen this perfect body? i can handle it. * alyssa couldn’t help but smirk as she took the cash, pretending to count it as if double checking evangeline despite knowing for a fact it was the correct amount * it was a pleasure doing business.
“ the drive through ? ” she said raising an eyebrow as she collected the chips from the counter “ that is terrible for you , you know that right ? ” she said as she looked through everything before handing her some cash. her eyes were quite focused , flitting around the room , keeping an eye on things.
@gmblersriot • well if they have problem, they know where to find me. now cash my chips in will you? i plan on hitting a drive - through / hard / with my winnings. * she let the different coloured chips rain onto the counter *
what? yea, no— i didn’t sign up for this.
“stop touching everything— i didn’t bring you here to explore.”
@sentimvntalist • you pay top dollar for this stuff?? i hate to break it to you, karina but you’re getting scammed. * of course she was just teasing the other. she actually quite like some of the collectibles and trinkets she had collected * what’s the most you’ve spent on this stuff?
“well— not when you put it like that…” she shrugged, grabbing one of the items she’d actually come in for before walking over to alyssa. “when people sell things in auctions, and if i see something valuable, i buy it.” she gently picked up the sphere the other was playing with and set it back in its original place. “some of this stuff is worth thousands. so don’t go playing with it.”
@sentimvntalist • so you collect things from strangers and hoard them? got it. * the brunette tossed the glass sphere one more time before doing as told and placing it down * how long are you going to be? the longer we stay, the higher the chance of me touching all your things.
this is a joke, right? you can’t be serious.
@lacrymosas • i wish it was, but unfortunately it’s not. so can i skip the queue and get seen to next?
“ is that — blood .ᐣ are you bleeding .ᐣ oh my god let me help you. ”
⠀ ⠀ ⠀… you’re upset. what happened?
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ caelan groans quietly at the accuracy, pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose as he looked both ways down the street before beckoning her to cross with him. „ you know, i’m starting to regret bumping into you at night. you’re starting to catch onto my habits. ”
instead of stopping at one of the few eateries still open with their bright neon signs flickering, he led them toward the diner tucked quietly at the end of a narrow alley. a single red lantern hung above the door, its light weakly spilling across the pavement, enough to mark its presence but never to call for attention. he paused right before the noren curtain, fingers lifting the curtain’s edge slightly. „ have you been here before? ”
@gatheros • i just needed a distraction. * she followed his gaze towards to the various store before she finally gave a little nod to acknowledge caelan * i figured you’d still be working so why not hit two birds with one stone. i get to distract myself, and you get some fresh air for once. * alyssa hoped her teasing words would lighten the mood a little as she followed his lead *
⠀ ⠀ ⠀„ yeah, enough for you to want to meet up this late. ” caelan glanced towards a few storefronts still open across the street. „ let’s eat something. nothing fixes you faster than warm food. it’ll be on me . ”
why are you… lurking ?
@killerwidows • * of course she noticed kalina’s lack of answer, but she didn’t push for one either. kalina was her own person and didn’t need to answer to her, no matter how worried she got * i know, but you know / i / can’t help but be worried. * her hands eventually fell back to her side * so what was that meet up of yours about? everyone looked tense, including you.
@shieldsagent- ( … ) [ kalina slowly lifted her hands, gently placing them over the top of alyssa’s. ] Я в порядке ( I am fine ). nothing I cannot handle. [ she promised, though she didn’t outrightly say that she / hadn’t / gained any injuries since she last saw her. her ocean hues flitted over her sister’s features surpassingly softly. ] it’s good to see you. but you don’t have to worry about me. you know I can take care of myself.
@killerwidows • * she was quick to embrace the hug, relief easing her now that she had confirmation of kalina being safe and sound * i just wanted to see you. make sure you were okay. i won’t lie, i was getting a little worried * alyssa finally pulled away, hands coming up to cup her sisters cheeks to give her a once over * any injuries?
“you’ve got my attention for that stunt you pulled, mind telling me what all that was for?”
@vilientis • well it seems like your men were in the wrong place at the wrong time and i dealt with it. * she finally admitted, a smirk tugging at the corner of her lips * it’s okay, no need to thank me. just doing my job.
@shieldsagent- / “oh, you know exactly what i’m talking about.” valien leaned back in his chair, arms crossed in a way that spoke of authority as he watched her, waiting for an explanation.
