[ That’s another double take. Being friendly is one thing, but offering to put in a word like that and thus sort of stake the reliability of said word on someone, well, like South was when Carolina last knew her… even if she’s not like that now and is determined to prove that… ]
i’ve literally only ever worked as a soldier before now so not flashy’s definitely not a concern
okay, but like, seriously? you would?
[ She doesn’t ask why would you, but it’s a close thing. ]
[She'd let them all down. Every single one of them. Had Carolina been better, picked it up sooner- any number of what ifs- things might have been different.]
ya, well, york got punched just after he got hired so had a broken nose, but don't try to top that... seriously. don't.
so long as you have no issues with working with others that might not be human or might have some supernatural abilities or powers or whatever their shit is.
do i even wanna ask what the fuck he did to get punched that hard
yeah, no, that's no issue. the last place, there were like. aliens. a literal fucking werewolf. the easter bunny. and my best friend was from a magic world, so
....you realise that answer raises like 100 more questions, right
[ It doesn't show in how long her response takes, but there's a moment of pause at the actual details of the powers. With the skeletons in her closet she has to at least take that into account but... whatever. If he hasn't done it to Lina, then... ]
yeah, that's fine. i can deal w/ all of that, powers and process
sharkface ring any bells? sharkattack was his username on the network. met him back in freelancer. met him again on chorus.
[Only difference between York and South is that South might actually punch him back if he tried anything with her. York alone had been the reason that she hadn't hunted him down and beat the shit out of him.]
i'll give him a shout. york's already there, and talked to him about wash.
some guy did come at me all hostile on anonymous when i got here and namedropped CT?
[ Temple revealed himself by the end of their chat, the other one just... kept spitting rage about what they'd done and clearly implied he was one of the guys they'd been fighting. ]
right. only found out that was more to that than her being a traitor at the last place, believe it or not
north told me fuckin nothing while we were on the run
so that guy beat york up??? guess that's not fuckin surprising, dude sure seemed like he was looking for a fight when he was volleying shit at me
[ She gets half way through typing something along the lines of 'no lina the least you could do is merely tolerate my existence here, this is definitely more than the least', before sending what she actually sends. ]
well if it goes anywhere i promise not to make you look bad
yeah, i know that now at least. sure changes the way i look back at some shit
[ She'd been more bothered by CT's defection than she ever admitted, not that she ever really hid it either. Never really handled betrayal from a friend well—which, talk about hypocrisy, right?
Since, she's seen the memory of the bunker. Of what happened to CT. More things she's not sure if she should be bringing up or not. The multiverse can go fuck itself, except for the good parts. ]
why the fuck would he do that. i mean that sounds like him but also what
no subject
[Which she doesn't mind in the least.]
job found me actually. security for a building. not native owned so that makes things easier.
no subject
small fuckin mercies
right, yeah, that would. i’ve pulled a few shifts at this native run club up here since we became ourselves again but it’s uh
well it’s a holdover thing, let’s say that. it’s money
[ It was easy enough to get a job, but that doesn’t mean it’s ideal, working at a place that’s run by city natives. ]

boss included.
no subject
do i even wanna ask what the fuck he did to get punched that hard
yeah, no, that's no issue. the last place, there were like. aliens. a literal fucking werewolf. the easter bunny. and my best friend was from a magic world, so
so that wouldn't be that new to me tbh
no subject
he can get truths and pick up on things if you're in proximity, but can't say he's ever done either to me.
it's him and his head of security, if he's back. not that hard of a process.

not besides you mentioning that name before but
some guy did come at me all hostile on anonymous when i got here and namedropped CT?
[ Temple revealed himself by the end of their chat, the other one just... kept spitting rage about what they'd done and clearly implied he was one of the guys they'd been fighting. ]
thanks. i appreciate it, really
no subject
[Not that Carolina would have expected him to be anonymous. Maybe because South hadn't been there with Wash and her.]
no worries. least i can do.
no subject
right. only found out that was more to that than her being a traitor at the last place, believe it or not

well if it goes anywhere i promise not to make you look bad
no subject
[And she hadn't deserved to die like that... Carolina wanted the armour and nothing else. It hadn't mattered though.]
york let him beat him up because he's an idiot.
[Or smart. Fuck. Not that Carolina would kill him here. She hadn't wanted him to die back home either, but he just wouldn't stop coming.]
appreciated
though really
do your best. all i can ask
no subject
yeah, i know that now at least. sure changes the way i look back at some shit

[ York. Buddy. ]
will do boss
no subject
try all the shit.
[Her own father- but after her mother had died, he hadn't been the same.]
probably because york is york
i'll get back in touch with you after i speak to jon. i know he wanted to beef up security a bit as a precaution
no subject
okay yeah you got me there, alllll the fucking shit
[ She knows she certainly hasn’t unpacked it all yet, she’s had less time than most but she doubts any of them ever truly will anyway. ]
alrighty, then. sounds good. thanks again lina
