"no! radovid is top!"

+ @buglesgirlfriday asked: i was gone for less than two hours. what happened?

+ Oh , boy, this was gonna be FUN to explain . It wasn't a SECRET that her methods for getting ahold of information for her stories was a little more HANDS ON than most of the other people in the office . Sometimes it was quick and PAINLESS , other times she'd definitely been sticking her NECK out for the sake of the story . Tonight had been somewhere closer to the LATTER than anything else . Making sure the TASER she carried was shoved deep in her bag , Mary Jane wasn't looking forward to THIS conversation .

It was so not the point. It so wasn't, and really, she should be focusing on the horror movie aspects of their current adventure, but Betty's words flip a switch inside her brain and for a moment, she completely forgets about everything else that is going on, and focuses entirely on the words 'best friend'.

❛⠀⠀⠀I'm your best friend?⠀⠀ ⠀ ❜

❝ are my letters not enough for you, miss brant? ❞ voice is low — raspy and tired, sandpaper against the eardrum for most, a slow drawl that would make your skin crawl. but not her, not to betty. lopsided smile brightens a pale and sweaty face, ❝ i've missed you too, birdie, ❞ he manages to sit up more, despite the protesting pangs of his body, almost looming as they hunch over table separating the two. well, more like three feet of air, two inches of bulletproof glass, dozens of guards, and a murder charge that betty hasn't brought up yet for some reason.

❝    i watched a ted talk on heartbreak.   he had a smart person accent.   he said don’t look through the photos    ...    and then i looked through the photos.   ❞   

❝    it    was    nothing    ,    i    would    do    it    again.    ❞    

she’s   tucked   herself   away   in   the   corner   of   the   tavern   in   the   hope   she’ll   get   a   small   SHRED   of   peace  ,   but   it’s   not   going   too   well   for   her  .    her   crew-mates    are   just   as   rowdy   as   ever  ,   making   the   most   out   of   their   time   back   on   LAND  ;   drinking   and   singing   away   as   they   attempt   to   coax   the   barmaids   into   dancing   with   them  .    she’s   smiling  ,   though  ,   watching   with   BRIGHT   eyes   as   she   sips   at   her   drink ,    glancing   around   the   room   until   ....   no  .   it   couldn’t   be  .

she   looks   so   DIFFERENT   from   the   other   year  ,   when   she   first   crossed   the   wall  ,  but   juliet   can   still   tell   that   it’s   her   old   friend  .    she   watches   her   for   a   moment   before   eventually   deciding   to   approach  ,   pushing   her   way   through   the   crowds   of   people   until   she   can   eventually   reach   her  .    “  betty  ?  is   that   really  you  ?  ”   she   calls   out   to   her  ,   raising   her   VOICE   so   that   she   can   be   heard   over   all   the   other   noise  .     “  what   are   you   doing   here  ?  ”
