@builttosave to JILL VALENTINE .

you do not need to be afraid of me.

Right . Like that was going to help .

Jill had been on the run for the past two years . She'd been relocating place to place every now and then , enacting her own justice on those who had hurt her in the past , and after experiencing the BSAA's thoughts on recovery from the hell she had been put through , Jill Valentine could trust nobody. Not even the woman standing in front of her — she knew her once , didn't know how Claire had found her here , but the hold on her pistol never changes as it remains raised.

Jess had been using all the resources in her back pocket in order to track Claire down here . It had seemed a little off with the lack of personnel , but she put that aside and set herself on looking for the other woman . She'd found her in a locked, dingy cell, and Jess' gaze flickered up the hallway as she opened the sliding bar door and was near immediately tackled to the ground.

A low purr rose from Eight's throat as they slowly heaved themselves to their feet. Their posture hunched as they remained on all fours, and lifted their head as they sniffed the air. A caged muzzle tight around their jaws - a chain locked around their throat. "He will kill you," they said - their voice changing from Wesker's to an InGen handler they once knew as a juvenile. "He may not make it quick."

@builttosave to AMÉRIS VALENTINE .

❛ i want us to get to know each other again. ❜

Améris doesn't entirely know how she ended up here , in the . . BSAA's medical wing , or something . There'd been a hell of a lot of fuss over the detective for some reason or other, and she didn't quite understand — they kept calling her by a name that didn't entirely belong to her , save for the last name, and they'd run a ton of checkup tests . She couldn't answer any of their probing questions, and she couldn't entirely tell what they wanted from her in the first place.

Jess had been sitting on the edge of the bed for the past several hours, a notebook in her hand and several papers slotted inside, flicking through them with a pencil next to her. Her own bed was partitioned off on the other side of the large suite , but she'd stayed here for the time being after becoming incredibly invested in her own side of the investigation . It was still late at night , and Jess hadn't moved to take off her tailored gray blazer quite yet.

Jill's expression was twisted into a slight grimace as she lifted the heavy piece of metal, the sharp edges already having sliced into her palms. They didn't have a lot of time before the rest of the people who worked here got to them, and Jill would like to get Claire out from the precarious position she had just been in. Ada had fucked off somewhere else, and while Jill would have appreciated the help , she wasn't going to admit that at all . The trust was still shaky , but it was better than nothing right now.

@builttosave to JILL VALENTINE .

‘ when you’re hungry & there ain’t enough to go around, ain’t no length to which a girl won’t go. ’

The Fates couldn't even leave her alone when she was in the middle of her work either , it seemed , and she hated that they could tell what she was thinking . Ailani was somewhere at home, working on that song of hers that just wouldn't be finished , and here Jill was , at the office and working so they could survive , or until her lover finished her music. It was late, and the coffee on the ex-cop's desk had long since cooled.

"Go harass someone else . Not in the fucking mood tonight ."

The thick , cloying smell of iron was incredibly evident in Jill's senses now, the familiar almost-drying crimson staining her face not light by any standards . It was stained further by Claire's thumb gently brushing against it , a slight hiss escaping gritted teeth as Jill tightened a bandage around her upper arm.
