[ yeah. yeahhh it's a real fucking nasty friday. jolyne has been using her power for the sake of trying to find something, anything, any other trace. instead, it's all yellow caution tape and tiny prinnies. it figures. the fact that they were so ready to put their faces on the paper... what the hell.
so when hung sees her, she's probably still got her wings out, both of them twitching anxiously. ]
Yeah. Trying to see if there's anything around here, but... been flying around for— [ checks her phone ] —almost an hour... nothing.
[ she does pause after that though to notice he's a little grave-looking. frowning, she reaches to just pat him softly on the arm. ]
... You okay? I mean, it's f&$^@#@ up, so probably not, but...
[ they're pretty, and he wishes he could tell her that without it being a terrible situation. someone like jolyne, who took him joyriding, probably loves flight the same way that ace loves being on the high seas. freedom, and all that. ]
I've been walking, but nowhere to really go that hasn't already been checked. I guess.
[ the question does give him a moment, and he offers her a tight smile at the touch. ]
... death is just. It's normal, back home. Oripathy takes lives just like that, in the worst of ways, and people are killing each other for just about anything when Catastrophes aren't. [ a wry huff, through his nose, just like a dog ]
But this is pretty [ bark ] up. We've only been here a week, and he was prickly, sure, but that's no reason to just - murder somebody. I saw him and Groot leave the dorm earlier in the day, and now this.
[ stop the dog censorship im losing it. she does startle a little at the bark, but that's just the twitchiness of today, of the sudden announcement. she just listens, because what else can you do in a situation like this? hell, he was hung's teammate on top of it all. she's worried. ]
Yeah. It's... pretty normal for me too. Just didn't think it'd follow me so fast here. [ a sad little tug of a smile. ] Guess I'm not the only one, though. Doesn't feel like there was any reason to go killing someone—I don't think the guy was even that bad. An @&#hole, but like. [ shrugs: "who isn't sometimes?" ]
Hey, Hung... Do you remember anything weird last night?
he does make an agreeing noise to her comment about rocket being an asshole. nothing that he hasn't seen before, really, and he didn't think rocket was even that bad. just someone that'd probably been through hell and was now in this situation. he didn't hold it against him.
the question, though... ]
I talked to Ace and Temenos. Ace was at the cafe, last night, and he didn't hear anything despite the newspaper saying that there was gunfire outside. And Temenos mentioned that people were locked in - but I was in the dorm, with the captain. Just working on making shelves out of the bed pieces I dismantled.
If we were locked in, I never tried to leave. Fell asleep at some point, though, and I don't remember when. That's not that weird for me, but...
Neither did I. I was just hanging out in my room, ended up falling asleep with my phone on my face.
I thought maybe I was just still tired from the other night, but... [ shaking her head like that definitely just doesn't feel right. ]
Whisper said she had a look around the casino— [ she looks like she hates that. ] There was a fight there, I guess. A big mess, scratches. Nico said that he got trapped inside the convenience store. Rocket n' Groot were there too.
[ his tail is stiff, so it doesn't swish, really, but it does give a bit of a flick as he thinks over that.
he also makes a similar face, regarding whisper and the casino. ]
Temenos and the rest of his team were in the theater and got locked in. He didn't remember when he fell asleep, either. But it sounds like Nico, Rocket, Groot, and Chiemi so far in the convenience store... Ace told me he found out she was in there with them and some others, but no one heard them leave.
And Groot's chatty, even if Rocket's the only one that can understand him. Unless someone knocked us all out with a power, or Groot knew there was trouble, I don't know how that'd go missed.
[ god she's so angry right now. her fingers are curled into her palms as she tries to take a deep breath through her nose and out again, her head kind of ducked as she folds her arms finally over her chest. ]
The h#&@ is even going on with this place? Were we drugged or something?
[ she uncurls one fist and puts fingers to her temple for a moment, expression tight. ]
[ a beat, and then hung reaches out, curling a warm and soft hand against one of her shoulders. he's tense, like an animal ready to bolt or to strike depending on which way the tide turns.
but he is still gentle in his solidarity. ]
Power, maybe. But none of us should have something that strong, as new arrivals - and it doesn't match the profiles anyways.
It doesn't, that's maybe what's freakin' me out more.
[ when he touches her, she pauses for a second, like maybe she might want to just run, but instead she overcomes the moment and leans a little into the touch, reaching a hand up to touch his and squeeze the top of it. ]
Guess... we'll have to figure it out tomorrow, go over some of the places that were looked at today. If it's in our hands, then we're gonna have to prove that we can take care of this.
