second_first[Rei is working the late late shift at a seedy diner all by herself. And by seedy diner, I mean the dining room. That somehow employs people for the duration of the event but really isn't that much different, except all gritty and film noir-y.
SHUT UP IT WORKS SOMEHOW.
She'll be closing up in an hour or so, and in the meantime, she's wiping things down and getting ready. Her inner monologue is pretty quiet for the moment, focused on the mundane tasks of work.]
[ooc: Rei's monologue will appear in italics following her normal speech. But um you probably shouldn't expect her to be thinking much more than she actually says most of the time. :||||]

Date: 2011-07-17 04:35 pm (UTC)It was dark. Covered in the shadows of the room was another woman who I recognized. I slipped down onto a chair and sighed heavily, the kind of sigh that spoke of long nights with too much of nothing to do- too much chasing around after ghosts of crimes, always on the heels of the real detectives. It was the kind of sigh that measured tiredness in its breath, that talked about all the things a young woman wanted to do but never could. It was the sigh of the downtrodden and hopeless. It was the most heartfelt sigh the world had ever heard, and it lasted all of one second. It was profound. Deep. Inscrutable. Even worth an entire paragraph of study.
Hi. Are you still open?
Rei's internal monologue is so fail
Date: 2011-07-17 11:41 pm (UTC)She looked unhappy.
[Rei comes closer to where Elaine's sitting with a nod.]
Yes.
fff oh rei. next thing she'll be talking in haikus. haha
Date: 2011-07-18 01:33 pm (UTC)I'm starting to think I'll never get to be a real detective.
oh god, don't tempt me
Date: 2011-07-18 01:41 pm (UTC)You will.
Do you want something?
goooo gogo you can do it
Date: 2011-07-18 01:48 pm (UTC)Some chocoloate if you have any.
It'd eat up a portion of what little money I had to go by, but it felt like I needed it tonight.
And some conversation, if that's okay?
Look. Look what you've done.

[Rei draws closer, nodding to Kura.]

Date: 2011-07-17 11:51 pm (UTC)Just coffee.
There was just something about this dame that drew him back here. Not the way his girls did, frankly, she was too young to rank interest on that score, but something about her quiet intelligence was intriguing.

Date: 2011-07-17 07:25 pm (UTC)As I take a seat near another table she's wiping down, I don't think about how she ended up working here. It's not my job. No one's paying me to find out either. The girl working here's also the quiet type. You can see my taste in friends. Another one who I wouldn't want to see upset.]
You're still here.
[action]
Date: 2011-07-17 11:45 pm (UTC)For another hour. [She puts aside the rag and comes closer.]
[action]
Date: 2011-07-18 12:09 am (UTC)No one's caused you trouble?
[action]
Date: 2011-07-18 12:17 am (UTC)No one.
[action]
Date: 2011-07-18 12:53 am (UTC)Good.
[I'll take her word for it. This diner had a way of making whatever I wanted just show up unannounced. Because suddenly there's tea on the table. My colleagues probably have a slug or two in them by the name of bourbon, whiskey, or some other booze. But that's not my style. Besides, I'm underage anyway.]
Did you want to join me if no one else shows?

Date: 2011-07-18 06:58 am (UTC)Which it is.
I've been stalled like a boiler under the burning Alternian sun. My case is caseless; the perp almost handed a Get Out of Jail Free card.
But this liquid brown miracle.
It will guide me.
My tongue must investigate its golden prophecies. ]
