‘ keep it safe. ’
𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐘'𝐕𝐄 𝐆𝐎𝐓 𝐅𝐀𝐌𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐄𝐒 𝐓𝐎 𝐆𝐄𝐓 𝐓𝐎. miles hasn’t finished leafing through all the things he needs to, not by a long shot. but he is understanding, deeply craving of home and exhaustion creeping into his bones. he speaks polite apologies for keeping her so late, the same as he did the day before, the one before that too. he hates to keep her, but late is near the only time they can work together: he doesn’t want another person’s job on his shoulders, he tells her. no early afternoon appointments, he’s stayed firm on that. this is safest, out of the eyes of other’s.
he knows there’s dinner waiting, he tells her as the conversation switches from legality & persons of interest to plans upon getting home. surely there’s a story of a client or two who’ve spilled their stories to adelaide. she’s a daughter and a husband, miles knows that much ; only the aether knows if she’s returning to them or staying here longer ( he hinges his bets on going home she speaks of them so fondly ). regardless, he is adjusting his worn jacket at the doorway it’s still good enough to keep some chill out & when he turns back to say his final farewell, he is greeted with an envelope. a smile. a request. but this is where things got risky with upton: she brought files to him. didn’t just speak them under the cover of catching up, didn’t have the cover of hear-say meaning little.
whatever she’s trying to give him, it’s gotta be good; he’s certain she’s not given him something with no use. it could be the key to his case. she’s certainly smart enough to have. he takes paper between forefinger and thumb, holds it gingerly between them as he plagues the air with his concern. his worry has become palpable in light conversational tones gone low, unease bolstered with a furrowed brow. well-meaning. she is well-meaning. so is he.
‘ ARE YOU SURE? ’

mysterynerd:
are you employed here ?
velma weighs out her options , here . on one hand , she could potentially say yes — but that’s a rather large cover to fill when you weren’t PREPARED for it . she could say yes , feign needing cleaning supplies , and hopefully get out of there without getting arrested . on the other hand — on the other hand , velma takes in his flashlight , the surprise of him . there is no police uniform , and this office certainlyisn’t his , as the man who held CURRENT ownership was dead . so , velma’s making an executive decision .
❛ that depends . ❜ she sniffs , trying not to sneeze from all the dust . it was obvious this office has not been used in a WHILE . ❛ are you employed here ? ❜
𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐃𝐄𝐏𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐒, 𝐒𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐀𝐘𝐒. vague, yet, telling enough. & then she is asking him the same thing, and bill is laughing ( you, working in an office ? what a riot ! ) , & he’s not wrong to. he has talked to many folks. suspects, and victims, and normal people: his chest is swollen with well-meaning regardless of where they fall. he figures her a friend. at least here, at least now ; at least if he is careful. he has become familiar with the art of speaking privately ( you’re welcome ), steps foward and pushes the door to a crack behind him.
‘ NO. I’M MILES FORDHAM, ’ he begins there, tone level. ‘ i’m a private investigator. ’ there’s a careful balance: how much do you tell her? how much do you trust her at face value? she has told you nothing of herself, and yet, you are a man fearful of conflict, fearful of doing harm ( this is why you needed me, miles ). ‘ the widow sent me. am i to presume you’re in the same situation? ’

well . there isn’t anywhere to hide without any sudden movements — the desk is too far away . all velma has to her right is a POTTED FICUS , and really , it’d be embarrassing to even try . she opts , instead , for casual . dusts the fake leaves off with her fingers , standing in the dark with nothing but a flashlight . ❛ good evening . ❜
🔎 ›› starter call // @bloomdt .
𝐎𝐅𝐅-𝐆𝐔𝐀𝐑𝐃 ! he doesn’t quite know how to approach this. it’s rare that he runs into someone who isn’t the police during what’s meant to be an easy in and out. ( who’s to say she hasn’t come back to the scene of the crime, miles? she could be a criminal ). WE’RE TECHNICALLY CRIMINALS TOO, he wants to remark. miles clears his throat, not to correct, ‘lest he sound crazy, but to return to reality. ‘ good evening. ’ a mere parrot lingering in the doorway, hand with light pointed at her feet. ‘ are you employed here? ’ ( as what, a late night gardener? right. )

miles & adelaide are both big readers. before bill’s death, when miles had time off and they weren’t taking it to visit her parents, or visit with friends, they would spend their time inside reading. sometimes different books, but in each other’s space: be it at the dining room table, or in bed, or on separate ends of the couch. other times, miles will read something to adelaide, or she’ll let him read over her shoulder.
#they have more books than the cholmondeley library :/#which isn't saying much Considering but there's still. Too Many .#ANYWAY im gonna eat then actually be here ♥

the song of achilles meme
i recently finished this book and it was just…so…beautiful, so i wanted to make a lil meme thing cause their were a lot of really great quotes & actions tbh. i thought it’d be nice to share ‘em and write ‘em out. change the pronouns to your liking ~
p.s. i kinda went over board so i put my favs above the read more and the rest ( more generic types of sent. memes ) under the read more. enjoy !
“ i will never leave ____. it will be this , always, for as long as _____ will let me. “
“ i would like to know how you are going to stop the losers from declaring war on you ? “
“ will you help me put the rest of my armor on ? “
“ we are finished here. “
“ do not leave. “
“ did you ever think of having children ? “
“ ___ is half my soul, as the poets say. “
“ I could recognize ____ by touch alone, by smell; I would know ____ blind, by the way ____ breaths came and ___ feet struck the earth. I would know ____ in death “
“ coward. “
“ ____ is a weapon. a killer. do not forget it. “
“ you can use a spear as a walking stick, but that will not change it’s nature. “
“ i do not plan to live after ____ is gone. “
“ philtatos. “ ( means ‘most beloved’ )
“ i could kill you still. “
“ i am sorry for your loss. “
“ name one hero who was happy. “
“ they never let you be famous and happy. “
“ let me bring you food and drink. “
“ i cannot bear to see you grieving. “

“ is it worth your life ? “
“ i hope that ____ kills you. “
“ get out. get out ! “
“ _____ is dead. “
“ i am buried here. “
“ we die so easily. “
“ you will not speak another word or you will be sorry. “
“ i wish he had left you to all die. “
“ if you have to go, i will go with you. “
“ i am made of memories. “
“ listen to me. “
“ i will not live much longer. “
“ you are a better man than i. “

❝ do you hear me? stay away from me. ❞
𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐂𝐀𝐒𝐄 ���𝐒 𝐂𝐄𝐑𝐓𝐀𝐈𝐍𝐋𝐘 𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐄 𝐃𝐈𝐅𝐅𝐈𝐂𝐔𝐋𝐓 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐍 𝐇𝐄 𝐇𝐀𝐃 𝐓𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐆𝐇𝐓. murders, oftentimes, are simple: for money, over jealousy occasionally, they are . . . stranger. he has met people who believe in the other side ( and you don’t? ), things not of the ordinary sort. ( she gives that vibe, don’t you think? seems like one of those that believe ). this scene was riddled with mystery: the only thing left aside from a corpse was a ring, the wounds foreign enough that they left edwards delighted. ahe has jumped through hoops, and files, and talked to locals, and he has come out with plenty of things far and fathomed. she is the most feasible start: a person, a nickname, more to earth than all the other leads. he still doesn’t quite know the meaning of the name, figures perhaps the art she mentioned when he asked if he was interrupting has something to do with it, but the moment he moves past murder and onto the topic of jewelry supposedly connected to this enchantress, the conversation turns tense ; a shut out, one sided. like a switch. ( sort of like you when someone mentions bathing, isn’t it? )
‘ I HEAR YOU, but please, miss moone, ’ bill would believe in making her tick. calling her by her other name instead. miles shies from it ( coward ). ‘ you have to understand: a man was murdered, ’ he urges again. ‘ & your’s - supposedly - has been the only name to come up. if you know any reason why that might be, i would really appreciate being let know before i stay away. ’

bloomdt:
uh anyway bill serves as miles call to reality and grounding force throughout the game, a sort of conscious if u will. he’s most likely ,,, dead n not actually a paranormal ghost followin him around as miles perceives. it’s his minds way of keeping moving through and balancing the grief.
but listen, bill also serves as an outlet for miles frustration @ himself. he serves as the darker, guilt-ridden parts of his mind: the constant reminders that he murdered him, but then the reasoning that it was the burglars fault. the constant nagging about stopping the soporifics. adelaide keeps telling him to stop, so why isn’t he listening? the catch my killer, stop wasting time , the constant nagging he feels about that while he’s off the force and unable to concentrate. it’s the guilt he personally feels, but personified the way bill would approach it so that it’s easier to act on he would never have listened to himself with the state he was in.

#he spent so long with bill that he forgot how to function without him being there.#he became as much a part of his life as addy is.#— LAST THAT I SAW HIM; SILENT AND HARDENED / HC.#i'll expand on it later but?#bill in his head not knowing things alive bill would've until miles learns them from other sources is a . big tell.#like bill's actual spirit. could be there. but he's certainly not who miles is talking to all game.
