  1. Cage

    Cage Hearts Are Wild, That's Why Our Ribs Are Cages

    "For someone taking..." Cage stiffens. "...Evelyn, what did you do? Why do I leave you alone?"
     
  2. Corrie Macpherson

    Despite not being addressed, Corrie is nonetheless feeling a little sheepish. She moves aside so that she's no longer obstructing Cage's view of the trash bag.

    "We're trying to figure out what this thing is," she offers.
     
  3. Evelyn Browne

    Evelyn Browne I burn for you

    "I didn't do anything! And because you have work, duh!" If Evelyn is feeling scared of Cage, she does not show it.
     
  4. Lee Charlot

    Lee Charlot The Practical One

    Lee sticks close to Corrie, keeping a damn good distance from the bag.
     
  5. Cage

    "One, why would you throw it in a dumpster?" Cage barks, leaning stiffly over - mostly moving with her knees, rather than her waist - and grabs the bag in one gloved hand. "Two - inside, all three of you. Let's not get Martin in trouble with the Sheriff. Again. Evelyn."

    She hefts the bag over her shoulder and stomps into the building, hipchecking the door open. "Chrissakes, putting biohazard in a dumpster? Every time I turn around..."
     
  6. Lee Charlot

    Lee Charlot The Practical One

    "...should we... follow her?"
     
  7. Corrie Macpherson

    "She seems very not surprised." The second wind Corrie got arguing with Evelyn is wearing off, and the only really clear course of action is to state her observations and see if they decide to start making sense. But, yeah, she'll go inside.
     
  8. Evelyn Browne

    Evelyn Browne I burn for you

    Evelyn huffs out and crosses her arms. She gives the bottom of the door a kick and walks inside before it can close. propping the door open she switches feet and scootches sideways so that she's holding it open with one foot while standing behind it and not in the door way. " Well? Come on, what are you waiting for?"
     
  9. Corrie Macpherson

    ...has she not started yet? Wow, she is tired. Corrie heads for the door, tugging gently on Lee's hand.
     
  10. Cage

    Cage Hearts Are Wild, That's Why Our Ribs Are Cages

    "The only thing that surprises me is that I don't expect this, at this point." Cage rumbles. "C'mon. Our apartment is this way. Might as well deal with this myself."
     
  11. Lee Charlot

    Lee Charlot The Practical One

    Lee follows Corrie, shooting her an uncertain glance. "...this is weird..."
     
  12. Desiree Song

    Desiree Song New Member

    "...hey Cage." Desiree looks over, head tilted. "You got it?"
     
  13. Cage

    Cage Hearts Are Wild, That's Why Our Ribs Are Cages

    "If there is one thing you lot expect of me, it's handling Cleanup when it comes to Evelyn." Cage drawls back.
     
  14. Evelyn Browne

    Evelyn Browne I burn for you

    Evelyn begins to whistle the tune of 'Knives Out' and follows Cage.
     
  15. Corrie Macpherson

    Corrie Macpherson I'm not expecting to grow flowers in a desert

    "This happens to you a lot." Yeah, still hasn't started making sense. It can do that anytime it likes, as far as Corrie's concerned.
     
  16. Evelyn Browne

    Evelyn Browne I burn for you

    " Not that often!" Evelyn comments.
     
  17. Cage

    Cage Hearts Are Wild, That's Why Our Ribs Are Cages

    "Too often."

    Cage shoves the apartment door open.

    "Inside."
     
  18. Evelyn Browne

    Evelyn Browne I burn for you

    Evelyn doesn't stop whistling but pauses in the doorway to give cage a 'kicked puppy' look for a good three seconds before stepping through.
     
  19. Lee Charlot

    Lee Charlot The Practical One

    "...I don't think this is a good idea." Lee grips Corrie's arm tight.
     
  20. Corrie Macpherson

    Corrie Macpherson I'm not expecting to grow flowers in a desert

    Corrie blinks. "Yeah. Good point."

    Really, she's just too tired to argue. She still really wants to know what's going on in there.

    Actually, aren't there two of her now?

    ...do you know how far from me you can go?
