enforcing the law and carrying out justice are very different things.

i don't need any of that weird shit today.

come. let me tell you a story.

danger doesn't always look like a wolf.

it's a little early to panic.

nobody takes a job here unless they're desperate, delusional, or both.

She spots her from afar, wearing her usual junkie attire: but something does catch the 𝓩omᴮitch's eye. It seems this really is the party of the year, since the redhead's midriff has made an appearance. It's not SO UNBELIEVABLE – but it's enough to make Jennifer smirk. ❝ [ 𝐆 ]𝚒𝚗g𝚎𝚛. ❞ She breathes it, relishes in it, loves the way her tongue rolls around the ending syllable. Pushing past a group of guys ogling her, she'd be lying if she said she doesn't feel envy – SHE'S NOT THE ONLY EYE CANDY HERE TONIGHT.

@revnants* "I know you're hungry. / –

[𝚃]here's something different about her. Her usual striking slits have a little darkness in them, the same kind Jennifer notices in her own once dusk sets. & there's that tongue again – grazing her front teeth before tilting her head in response to Ginger's bold claim. ❝ Am I that obvious? ❞ And all of a sudden, she's courage incarnate, index finger reaching up to move a strand of white hair away from Ginger's eyes. For a split second, Jennifer's body grazes hers thanks to a jock's calculated push from behind – his desperate clinging to a 𝚋𝚎𝚎𝚛 𝚌𝚊𝚗 near Jennifer's ass mirroring the intensity between the two. SHE SWEARS IT TO BE WITCHCRAFT: The strange pull she's feeling to her. It makes her sick to her stomach, *that sweet vulnerability. So, she fights it.

❝ It's probably my body's way of noticing Jason. [A sigh to release whatever's begging to get out of her underbelly] Don't know what it is, but he's looking *real cute to me tonight. ❞

i. The predator that lurks below.

it's only the soft trill of her own name in the distance that reels 𝔱𝔥𝔢 𝔴𝔬𝔩𝔣 back in. canines just barely tucked away in time to flash a five-star grin. ❝ Jen! ❞ she'll probably hate that, her smile grows. Responses that give little away paired with an intimate touch here, a weighted look there -- THE KIND OF PUSH & PULL THAT SETS YOUR TEETH ON EDGE WHILE IT WARMS YOUR BELLY. Ginger tries to don a similar mask, it sits crooked and alien atop her skin despite best efforts.

❝ I can practically smell it. ❞ offering just the sharpened edge of her teeth, nothing to stop the shiver rattling down her spine as her hair is tucked to the side. she can't really, sniff it out, that is — JUST ANOTHER FUTILE ATTEMPT TO CATCH HER OFF GUARD. hardly a breath passes as they collide, and the warmth is missed as soon as they part. It's easy to hide the roll of her eyes before following Jennifer's gaze to the generic meat suit that's caught her attention.

do you remember coming here?

what aren't you telling me?

when was the last time you talked to your mother?

will you tell me the honest truth about something?

i never said my prayers, never once. they scared me.

all our prayers don't help us. prayers don't do a goddamned thing.

nobody ever came to visit. no family, no strangers, no big bad wolves. not anybody.

you're not a child because you were allowed to grow up.

i can't imagine what that must have been like, all on your own.

i shouldn't be asking you. it must be so hard to talk about.

i know that you asked me to be supportive, but i have my qualms.

i can see you calculating how much you think you can get away with in 30 minutes.

were you going to tell me?

i wonder what my last words will be.

i seem so cold, but i have a heart.

things are gonna be different from now on.

you need to learn to knock, cowboy.

you know what they say: the family that swims together, drowns together.

i thought you had forgotten about me.
