sweet little unforgettable thing

          “  she kinda looks like you  …  ”    she’s perhaps being repetitive  ,   and maybe even annoying to the girl  -  but it’s an easy way for her to retain information  .    “  –  it was the shooting part  .   not the sister part  ,   i mean  -  i have one of those too !   but  …  what  ,   exactly  ,   would happen ?  ”  

          “  do you even know who you are ?   that  tone  of yours is more dramatic than anything i’ve ever done  .  ”   lips purse  ,   she shakes her head at her younger twin  .     “  –  you’re going to need a  little  more help  ,   then  .   we’ll enroll  ;   but when i make friends  ,   you  have  to hang out with us until  you  make some friends too  .  ”  

       “  pearl ?  ”    she can’t help but be curious  .   new people were always interesting  -  if the lodge family had anything to attribute to that !   friendly grin  ,   hitchcock blonde lilts her head to the side  .     “  nice to meetcha  ,   ruby  -  but  …  i have to admit  ,   i am a bit  …  confused  at the moment  .  ”  

        “  and are you  .   i mean  …  we ?   whatever  -  you know what i’m trying to say  ,   rubes !  ”   a sigh  .    “  and it’s fairly dramatic  ,   which i  know  you have an inkling towards  .   —  agreed  .   we’re almost  …  too free in a way ?   i almost want to enroll at riverdale high or something  .  ”

‘    ..ha.  believe me–  there’s odder.    ’  no,  there isn’t,  juggie.  cell is pulled from his messenger bag.  after going into his messages,  he writes up a text to all available serpents,  but leaves it sitting there in the text box,  undelivered.  ‘    i’ve got connections.    ’  he shoots back.  if the two gentleman across the room even rise from their seats,  snakes’ll come slithering in.  ‘    think they’re gonna be leaving anytime soon?    ’

“if you’re in such danger, why don’t you have any better contingency plans than getting random guys to fake flirt with you? and who’s to say i don’t become the target instead?” he looks hardly concerned by the possibility. it’d be fun to mess with some mortals, especially if they were asking for it. "it sounds like you rely a lot on men for help.” nick smiles wryly at that, and deadpans, “how will i go on.”

pearl: no

pearl: it's bed time

        blue eyes  stare  at the brunette  ,   there’s no use hiding the  SURPRISE  on her face  .   that  certainly  was not was she was expecting  .    head shakes  ,   she smiles lightly at the other girl  .     “  –  right  ,   i’m sorry  .   that was rude of me  .   i’d  OF COURSE  would not publish anything without your permission  .  ”    a pause  ,   before she sticks out her hand  .     “  betty cooper  .  ”

ruby: hey. answer your phone.

ruby: i can't find my magazine where'd you put it

ruby: and don't say this is "because i can't be trusted with a gun"

Moose: Well bad moods don't really seem like something I want to deal with. But thank you.

Ruby: lmfaoooo its ok at worst she'll throw a pillow at you

Ruby: or a rifle

Moose: If I were to ask if I could sleep on your couch tonight would that be chill?

Moose: Hypothetically of course.

Ruby: lol you'll have to ask pearl
