[teaserving]

hey it'll be thrilling

and of course i'll bail you out what are friends for

[torsion]

See you soon.

[ AND SOON IT WILL BE. She is 100% knocking on that door looking like someone's drawn first blood on her. ]

[teaserving]

[Abbacchio opens the door and... well, predictably, he looks drained and tired, eyes still red from the crying he's done. He does appreciate Mista accommodating, but he's trying to also not burden him too much.]

Hey. Thanks for coming.

tbh take your time, it's nbd as long as you keep coming back

[torsion]

I imagine he is.

Yeah.
I can't. Just you know, don't go around advertising it.
I'm not sure if there's any danger here, but science
Well, it's bullshit. Let's just leave it at that, yeah?

But I guess it's sort of my "superpower"? Not a stand (Stand?).
And you've got uh... bullets that talk?

[torsion]

[ It's a familiar sight and one she can recognize in herself. Not recently, but well enough. She doesn't address it, however, since she knows that he knows and if he wants to talk about the situation she'll address it. Sometimes you just need someone around to play it normal and give you space to breathe. ]

Couldn't keep me away. [ She adjusts her arsenal, even though it's hardly that impressive beyond the very obvious rocket launcher. ] Lead the way, pal.

Hey, this is Jill Valentine, correct? I'm not sure if your partner, Abbacchio, mentioned me or not. He said he would but I know he was going through some things at the time, so it could have slipped his mind.

I'm Lio Fotia, I work at Riposte Investigations now. I figured I'd formally introduce myself before we end up with a case that required us to work more closely.

oh! i meant to hit you up but i'm on hiatus rn! i'm around but i'm gonna be slow, just a head's up!

[torsion]

He mentioned he hired someone new. Meant to get a hold of you but haven't had a moment of downtime to do it.

It's good to meet you, Lio. You can just call me Jill. :)
You settling in alright?

Oh oh oh! I didn't see but it's absolutely no worries! Take all the time you need 🙏

[burningfree]

Oh it's not a problem at all, I've been keeping fairly busy as well, but it's nice to meet you too Jill. ✌️

It's been an adjustment, coming to this place, but I'd also experienced some drastic changes that required a lot of changes in my lifestyle even before coming here, so overall it could be better. My partner suggested I get more involved with work to try and take my mind off of it.

Not that that's related to messaging you, I promise.

Don't worry about it! I came home early so I should be speedier! c:

[torsion]

I'm sure we'll bump into each other in the office soon enough. ;)

I see. So you were already in the midst of change? At least that had you prepared for that. I hope it made the transition a bit easier.
Your partner made a good suggestion. It definitely makes it easier to get around and know the city, especially with a job like this. Familiarizing yourself with the city helps you settle, I think.

Ha ha, well, don't worry. It was about time we talked.

I hope all went well!

[burningfree]

If anything it made the transition harder, though to be honest I'm glad to be adjusting here rather than back home.
I miss my friends and allies, but I wasn't a very popular figure, and had to watch my back pretty frequently.

He's smarter than people give him credit for, and also a bit of a workaholic, so his suggestion didn't surprise me.

Oh and don't take this the wrong way, but I'd like to know. Why join a private investigation firm instead of the Moon Knights?

as well as it could! i'm still on hiatus but i should be around/tagging daily now! c:

[torsion]

Well, shit. Sorry to hear that.
Ha, we sound alike already. ;)

Not sure if I know the guy. I'm not the biggest social butterfly, but I try to pay attention to the network and speak up if something interests me.

I do other things here already. I train people in firearms and combat and I like to modify and create weapons and ammo in my free time. Otherwise, I'm not sure how I feel about the Moon Knights. I know some of the moonblessed have joined them, but I'm not sure I trust the government completely and it's only natural I don't trust anyone beneath them completely, either.

Plus, I like a little more freedom. I'm used to doing things my own way back home as a spec ops agent.

What about you?

nice, glad to hear it!

[burningfree]

He's not online as much as I am. I think I'm kind of addicted to looking at all the strange things people have to say while he's more hands-on.

I'm glad to hear that, actually. You can ask Abbacchio, he's gotten to hear first-hand my problems with authority on multiple occasions.

The government in my world - and by extension, the police - hunted people like me, so I have an inherent distrust in organizations like that. The Moon Knights here also haven't given me much reason to believe they're any different based on how they treat their criminal population.

I primarily asked for a job as a means to gain access to the Lightless - don't worry, Abbacchio is aware of this. I want to see for myself just how bad things are, because the rumors don't paint a nice picture. If I can help people without needing to work within the scope of the law, though, I'm not opposed.

[mingyues]

Are you available some time next week? I would like to return the favour from our last meeting.


It helped
a lot.

[torsion]

I can make time, sure.

That so?
Glad to hear it all panned out in your favor. :)

[mingyues]

Things are complicated but the future is what we make of it, right?

text; hey how about that 3am texts

[onehole]

VIBE CHECK

How are your vibes feeling this hour?

i hate that i laughed at this

[torsion]

What

[torsion]

Unfortunately a familiar sentiment.
But it's nice to feel in control. Glad you're of that mind.

How have you been? :)

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

[onehole]

Your vibes.

Your energy and mood, I guess.

he's so much cooler than she is...

[torsion]

Oh. High energy as usual.
And I'm alright. Not terrible.

How about you?
I don't think you told me what moon you're under, so I guess it can really depend on that alone, huh?

is he tho... is he???

[onehole]

You do seem it!
Could it be that you're also a night owl?

[ Though, for him, he sleeps from 11pm-3am every night. There's no helping it, even on another planet. ]

I'm under Iris, actually!
I don't know if I drew a bad lot or a good lot with it, though. I guess it's what you make of it?

What about you?

well

[torsion]

Oh, I don't get much sleep. But I'd consider myself someone that prefers late nights and very early mornings.

[ That's her ideal, really. ]

Ah. Sanguis, so it's usually early month for me.
No strong feelings about any of them. I guess they all have shitty parts.
What matters is if you can adapt or not.

Not that it's easy when people seem to change moons randomly. Or your body can change in very different ways.

[onehole]

More things can get done in the day, then.

That's true.
How do you think that you're adapting to it?

I think that it's going all right for me.
My body's has already had an unfortunate change, so... I guess I don't mind any other changes that may happen, ha ha.

[torsion]

That's for sure. Still never quite seems to be enough time.

To the physical changes and the rest of it?
As well as I can, I guess. I haven't had anything too strange or different each time. It seems to be pretty similar every moon.

Mine, too.
Though it's not visible externally, I'm very different from most people biologically now. Still not the same as getting claws or fangs.
Or worse.

[onehole]

You're that busy, Jill?

Once it happens once, it becomes less and less starting each time it happens.
What's that phrase? Familiarity breeds contempt? Haha.

Different from people biologically? Are you an alien, or secretively a fish-hybrid? :o!
