Thread: Making Our Own Justice (Athene & Razgriz)

Selena Winter So, we got a modern day gunslinger of sorts, huh? It was an amusing thought. Interesting for sure, more than enough to make Selena smirk as she began carefully reading the details of the crime. The now deceased Jeremy Higgins had made the idiotic mistake of breaking his parole ... which wasn't too unusual. It was something that, unfortunately, most people tended to do even when they were given such a generous blessing. Of course, many ex-inmates were so accustomed to being in prison. Thus, when they were given freedom of any form or fashion, they didn't normally know how to fit back into society. They usually held onto the 'old habits die hard' proverb, proven by how many convicts end up repeating their previous mistakes in the forms of crimes they've already done before. It truly was one of the saddest things Selena saw and heard about on a daily basis. Then again, she had never been a person fond of actively causing trouble. No, trouble just loved to find her . That was something she'd discovered in her youth, way before she hit her pre-teen years. A tired sigh passed her lips as she raised a hand, set the paper down, and moved several blonde strands of hair behind her ears. The straw in her coffee cup was mere inches away from her lips before a familiar voice made the cup pause in midair. Once Selena confirmed who the voice belonged to, a noticeable grin spread over her face. Hey, Natalie! You do know you don't need to be formal with me, right? Both in and out of uniform. Of course, she'd be more accepting when she was wearing her blue outfit. It made sense, and it was the logical approach to take. Not at all. Company's always welcome ... even if I don't make it overly obvious I like being around people. Which was ... true. If Selena had to describe it using her own words, it was more like she was picky about whom she spoke with. Which was partly why she didn't always go to the bar with Natalie. As of late, however, the 'excuse' that was brought up was correct, causing Selena's face to burn a bit. Well ... yeah. I am usually busy. Hell, you know tonight I definitely will be. It's not always an excuse. Nine out of ten times, it isn't, in fact. I just ... Selena casually shrugged, finally taking a careful sip to avoid giving herself brain freeze before resuming. Words like 'breaks' seldom exist for me. It's kinda always been that way. As far as work and the upcoming operation goes ... the best answers are probably what Mr. Jacobson was saying earlier. People who are manipulative, and in some way really charismatic, be it by using fear or other means. That being said ... I do agree completely with you. I'm as eager to get these pricks for what they've done. But be careful letting your emotions get too involved is really dangerous. There really is a reason we're constantly reminded about things like that. Offering Natalie another grin in hopes of silently reassuring her Selena was fine with hearing her rant, she repeated everything her co-worker had asked and said thus far. When she realized there had been a few things Selena almost skipped over, she decided to backtrack a bit. Ehh. Same shit, new day. I can't say much has been going on with me, really. No boyfriend yet, if you're trying to ask about things like that. I'm not really expecting that to ever happen, honestly. Too many guys like applying handcuffs to women, not usually vice versa. Her smile mingled in with a smirk as she chuckled softly. But seriously, I'm just .... scattered, I guess. I'm not really much of a lady as far as mannerisms go. And then, like you pointed out, I'm too busy or .... something. But that's fine. In this line of work, it may be for the best. No one can use anyone against me in things like hostage situations, at least. Even though Selena had meant to say that in a somewhat teasing manner, she couldn't help but feel a bit lonely after hearing her own confession. Well, I'm done with the spotlight so ... your turn. What about you? How are things on your end, hm?
