Thread: Strange Town, Strange Folks (Chichi Cheetah & Sheena-Tiger)

'Chad' blinked after being handed the card, flipping it over once as if expecting something else to be on it, but it really was just a plain business card. Oh. Oh , sure, if I'm still in town, I'm supposed to... be working, he said sheepishly, smiling at her. Gods, she was pretty! That definitely didn't help the poor young man talk to her. I'll await your return eagerly, Emilia. I love return customers, Cathy giggled, waving a small 'goodbye' to Emilia. As the door shut behind her, she looked at 'Chad,' who had started blushing a bit after putting the card away. Smitten, are we? she teased him gently, ruffing his hair. I-I- uh, I don't think she'd like me. Probably not into my... whole... deal, he said, rubbing the back of his head. It's pretty hard to consistently woo someone when you can't control your shape day to day. I'm sure Emi could help you sort that out. Er, the one we have in town, not the newcomer, Cathy chuckled, serving 'Chad' his breakfast. Eat up, you're still a growing 'bus. Yeah, yeah, auntie, he teased her before chowing down, not flinching as much as visibly fighting the pain of the spicy doom before him. ----- Ty nodded to Emilia when she came out of the diner and pushed off of the car, smiling slightly. It's on my way home, so I don't see why I couldn't help. At his notion that his beloved car was old, he held a hand to his chest and mock-gasped, pretending to be offended on his car's behalf but laughing anyway. Nah, this old girl loves the ladies. He patted the hood and saw the oil smudge on his hand when she pointed it out. I try to keep a good eye on her, she's making a few clanky noises lately. My kid's better with cars than me, so I'll have them take a look after I get home. He got in the driver's seat and leaned over, unlocking the passenger's side door and pushing it open for her. There you are, hop in. On the drive to the morgue, Ty's phone went off and he made a face, slowing the speed of the car down as he pulled it out of his pocket and put it on speaker after setting it in a cup holder, Yeah? I'm driving somebody to the morgue. Wait, you found another dead one!? The voice was panicking. No! No, just, someone's come to possibly ID that John Doe that was found near the barn. Calm down, Ari. Oh. Ohh. The woman on the phone sighed in relief. Well, when you're done, I'll meet you at your place. I might have a lead. Ty visibly grimaced and grumbled, Can I have a day off, just one? but sighed and nodded to himself, I'll be there in a few hours, got some errands to run. You might want to meet us at the morgue instead, talk to my friend here. Ohh, are they cute? Ari teased the older man, who rolled his eyes. Yes, she is. Ari tried to not sound excited, Am I on speaker. Yes. You are. SHIT. Um, I'll meet you there. Bye! She clicked her phone off and Ty chuckled, leaving his phone where it was and returning to the normal speed limit there hadn't been anyone behind them, so slowing down mercifully hadn't affected anyone. Ari's our own town PI. You two can swap info while I badger the medical examiner. ----- Ari put her phone away and stood up at the counter at her sister's tea shop, Sis, can I get a to-go cup? Gotta go distract an out-of-towner. Ty said someone's come to check out the body. The tea shop had practically become her office couldn't help it, she got free drinks! Did he use the code phrase? the shorter witch asked, not even slightly surprised as she easily poured the hot beverage into a paper travel cup in its sleeve. Errands to run, a few hours, means she's got a lot of questions and she's very sharp. Ari grinned deviously, her fangs glinting slightly, I'm very good at distracting the sharp ones.
