Third Investigation

[grimgrinningghosts]

[You wake up and, after everything that’s happened this week, you quickly realize something:

The music isn’t playing.

It’s almost peaceful in the manor now without all the demons. Too peaceful.

Nothing seems immediately off but surely something must have happened last night.

Investigate?]

[ i mean yeah you say that but hi guess who tracked u down, girl

just. gentle hand on ur shoulder, and quiet so no one else can hear. ]

Allene.

[kickbuttseatnuts]

[Allene has a permanent information chart of her emotions on her sleeve and that isn't more clear than when she immediately grabs Jyn's hand.]

Jyn.....

[astronomics]

[ Jyn grabs Allene's hand back, squeezing it once. ]

We'll figure out what happened.

[kickbuttseatnuts]

[Honestly, the thing Allene feels the worst about is that she's placed so much of a constant burden onto Jyn. She's too good for this.]

It just... keeps happening.

[astronomics]

I know.

[ Her expression hardens, a little, closer to Leader Mode. ]

I think that's what this place is designed to do, somehow. Keep this happening. We just have to stay strong.

[kickbuttseatnuts]

[She nods, slowly, listening carefully.]

I can do that, I think. I'm good at strong.

[astronomics]

I know.

[ A small smile. ]

And you and I can watch each other's backs.

[kickbuttseatnuts]

...It is a pretty nice back. Even if I think I like your front more.

[astronomics]

[ a muppet is dead and these idiots are flirting

Also Jyn's blushing slightly. ]

Ah... thank you. Your back isn't so bad either.

[kickbuttseatnuts]

[Listen if she thinks about something lovely she doesn't have to think about the murders]

I've been told I got a pretty rad backside if I stuff the tail in there.

[astronomics]

I mean I'd say it's... rad [ she's still getting used to that word ] even with the tail out, but.

[kickbuttseatnuts]

[You know what.

She's just gonna kiss Jyn on the lips right then and there.]

[astronomics]

[ rad as heck ]

[kickbuttseatnuts]

[After a good ten seconds of bliss, she'll just rest her head on Jyn's.]

Thank you and your beautiful, beautiful brain for keeping me sane.

[astronomics]

I do my best. And you're worth it.
