[me_matey]

-...-







bus is here now

[longwei2go]

alright I'll be waiting
front door's open

[me_matey]

[[ transition to action or do you wanna do a log? ]]

ACTION bc I'm lazy

[longwei2go]

[ as promised, the front door is wide open at the Longwei residence. that's fine though since Zwei is sitting attentively on the porch being the cutest damn lookout anyone has ever seen.

a rare sound echoes from inside the living room — Yin's metal fingers picking tuneless notes on an old acoustic guitar. ]

[me_matey]

-May knew her way in, leaning in to give Zwei some pets and pats before she found her way to the source of the sound. She hadn't seen Yin since the incident, been so focused and so busy doing anything else but worrying about 'what now', but finally coming across her and sitting beside her it was... impossible to keep up that mask that said everything was fine.

She wrapped an arm around her friend's shoulder and leaned in, careful not to bump the neck of the guitar as she did so. It was on Yin's good shoulder... and she could feel the tears.-

[longwei2go]

[ this is rough. that's not new to either of them, but it was rare for them to let those barriers break down (without outside influence grinding down their walls) since they were both so tough. they had to be. some days it felt like they only had the other, no matter who else fit under the umbrella of family or friends.

heck, for Yin, it's worse now for her since her dad's contract was extended and her sis is gone fulfilling her ambitions. which was good! it was good; for her sister. Yin couldn't help but feel lonely about the whole thing, but that didn't mean she couldn't make for a good shoulder to cry on.

she'll just... stop picking at the attempts at figuring out the chords to "Wonderwall" long enough to bring her fleshy arm around May's side and pat her back soothingly. ] It's alright, May. Let it go. It's just you, me, and the dog, and Zwei's not gonna tell anyone.

[ unless he magically developed the ability to talk. which, honestly, would not be the weirdest thing to happen in the past few months. ]

[me_matey]

-She hadn't really needed Yin's permission, but knowing she had it helped break the chains holding her back, regardless. She wept, clinging tightly to the other woman as she did so, shoulders shaking.

She'd worked so hard, for so long, to have her ideal life. And it was all gone. And the odds of her ever getting it back...-

[longwei2go]

[ Yin knew something of the struggles. her own life has been a hell of a roller coaster, but at least in the midst of all of that she always had people to support her. a roof over her head. food on the table. the option to have legit, paying jobs and have actual spending money and never want for much.

to see all that taken away from one of her dearest friends. well. it made her just about the angriest she's ever been. ]

Someone's gonna pay for this. Count on it.

[me_matey]

I'm so... so tired... -May sniffled, rubbing her face into Yin's shoulder a bit, knowing the other wouldn't care about being used as a makeshift towel.-

It never seems to stop. Working to get this far, working to get it back, working to stop the people messing with me...

[longwei2go]

[ this is not the time to complain about being used as a human tissue. ]

They're messing with all of us, May. And you know what? They're messing with the wrong people. I mean — look at us. [ she raised her right hand and clenched it into a fist with such ferocity that, if it wasn't against its design, Yin probably would have bent the plate of her palm with the force. ] I've got a five-finger cyborg death first, and you can probably throw a forklift battery like it was a cinder block.

I'm thinking... [ and thinking is not her strong suit, so hold on a minute. ] I'm thinking that they're taking stuff away to pay for the rest. Does that make any sense?

[me_matey]

I don't know what makes sense anymore. I just want it all slow down so I can catch up. Or stop altogether.

[longwei2go]

[ Yin sighed. it wasn't a big wish for May to have, but the world didn't stop spinning for anyone. she swallowed the cruel sentiment. ]

Then just... chill out here with me and Zwei for a while. No one else is around and we'll figure out some way to get you back on your feet. For good this time.

[me_matey]

Thanks, fam... I'm glad you're here. I dunno what I'd be doing otherwise. This world's gotten too big for me lately. -May gave a mirthless laugh, wiping her tears.-

[longwei2go]

Like it wasn't always that way?

[ she is absolutely cruisin' for a bruisin' with that comment, but hey, it's just like her to try and defuse a tense situation with humor. no matter how inappropriate it may seem at the time. ]

[me_matey]

-A bruisin' she gets, at least in the shoulder, and not half as hard as May usually knuckle dusted the other girl.-

Smart ass.

[longwei2go]

[ Yin gave a loud yelp-laugh. ] The smartest ass you know!

Now c'mon. Let's dry those eyes and get to what you really came over here for. Ice cream and — whatever a non-nerd word for "sleepover" would be. [ ignore the fact that there's an unsealed rulebook for Bunkers & Badasses sitting on the end table, which pretty much solidifies Yin's not-so-secret nerd cred. ]

[me_matey]

If I cared about you being a nerd, we'd never have made friends in the first place, you dork. -May pinched Yang's cheek lightly.-

Johnny pegged you for one when we first met. He said nerds made better friends.

[longwei2go]

[ she stuck out her tongue. ] You know what I mean, jerk. [ Yin reached up to ruffle May's hair. ]

In case I'm not obvious enough, I'm serious about you staying here a while 'til shit settles down. [ if it does. ]

[me_matey]

I might crash here on the occasion, but the women's shelter the church runs honestly ain't bad. They get better coffee than the services do.

[longwei2go]

What, suddenly my instant coffee-in-a-pouch isn't cutting it? [ Yin smirked, knowing full well it was some weak stuff. ] I get it, I get it, but ... still. You kept me out of the gutter on more than one night, it's about time I return the favor.

[ because some nights Yin would rather get yelled at for being out late or not coming home at all than busted for getting piss-ass drunk and having fresh cuts on her face. ]

[me_matey]

And I do appreciate it. Feeling pretty sleepy as it is, but I still want ice cream.

[longwei2go]

Hey, I'm not gonna tell you what you can and can't have before bedtime. [ Yin offered her friend a toothy grin. ] I can tell you a goodnight story though.

[ her stories being of the sort normal people probably can't sleep after. ]
