not  going  to  link  my  new  blog  here  since  i’m  paranoid  now  rip,  but  it’s  the  same  url!    i’m  going  to  follow  as  many  folks  as  i  can  before  i  crash  for  the  night  <3

[scorelistsa]

literally  don't  even  know  if  anyone  can  see  this  but  this  hellsite  flagged  my  blog  because  of  course  it  did  so  i  guess  this  is  my  cue  to  archive  &  revamp  <3

so  i  went  with  the  more  washed  out  psd  (at  least  for  icons)  because  it  goes  better  with  my  new  greyscale  icon  borders  <3

❝ You again? ❞

[This little lady had been an ongoing problem for the Fazbear investigation for some time now; it seemed that every time Norm approached the pizzeria ( without a team backing him up, that is ), he happened to come across her, sneaking past the crime scene tape, maybe even picking a lock or two, and all with flagrant disregard for the law. Somehow, Norm seemed to be the only one who’d ever encountered her – none of his fellow officers reported her presence, but perhaps that was because he was the only one who really frequented this place. He was apparently more invested in this case than the others, for whatever reason. All of them seemed honed in on one guy as their perp, but Norm wasn’t so convinced.]

[As such, he felt the need to dig deeper, to search for more evidence – but that had become increasingly difficult when he had a wannabe jailbird on his hands, tampering with the pristine crime scene he’d worked to preserve. He’d been lenient, thus far; she was just a kid, but he was starting to lose his patience. He needed to find clues. This wasn’t just a matter of finding a child murderer…it was about finding the man who’d killed his kid and bringing him down.]

❝ Y'know, I’m gettin’ real sick o’ findin’ ya here over ‘n over again, missy. I’ve been goin’ easy on ya, you bein’ a kid 'n all, but maybe that oughtta change. ❞ [The lighthearted, friendly tone he’d adopted with her during their encounters thus far faded; he spoke to her gruffly, the sort of demeanor he reserved for folks who’d gotten on his last nerve. In truth, he likely wouldn’t arrest her, even after threatening to do so – but he had to do something to scare her off, even if it meant intimidating her. She’d be better off if she left well enough alone.]

            maybe  the  first  few  times,  jude  had  been  surprised  enough  by  his  unexpected  appearance  to  have  some  sort  of  startled  reaction,  but  now  ?    it’s  just  part  of  her  near  -  daily  routine  &&  an  irritating  part  at  that.    she  doesn’t  even  have  the  decency  to  turn  around  (  or  the  energy,  really    .  .  .    how  long  has  it  been  since  she  last  slept  ?  ),  at  least  not  until  he  finally  drops  the  good  guy  act.    her  head  raises  from  where  she’s  been  trying  to  sneak  a  peak  through  the  gap  under  the  door  at  his  change  in  tone,  &&  she  suddenly  feels  small,  too  small.

            jude  stands,  already  planting  her  feet  &&  balling  her  hands  into  fists.    she’s  not  going  to  do  anything,  she  just  needs  something  to  hold  on  to.    ❝    i  leave  &&  then  what  ?    we  do  this  same  song  &&  dance  tomorrow  ?    ❞    &&  the  day  after  that,  &&  the  day  after  that    .  .  .    quitting  isn’t  an  option,  giving  up  isn’t  an  option.    regardless,  of  how  long  she  has  to  keep  searching  &&  regardless  of  who  she  pisses  off  in  the  process.    jeremy’s  counting  on  her  &&  she’s  already  let  him  down  once.    there’s  an  added  strain  to  her  voice  as  she  continues,  wrapping  her  arms  around  her  torso  to  feel  more  steady.    ❝    just  give  it  a  rest,  yeah  ?    save  us  both  the  headache  ?    ❞

            her  anger  continues  to  deteriorate  into  defensive  weariness.    she’s  tired  &&  just  wants  him  to  leave  her  alone,  to  let  her  keep  clawing  her  way  through  anything  she  can  get  her  hands  on  in  search  of  something,  anything  to  answer  the  questions  plaguing  her.    ❝    ‘s  not  like  i’m  vandalizing  anything    .  .  .    ‘m  just  looking  around  for  something.    is  it  a  crime  just  to  look  ?    ❞    that’s  not  exactly  true.    jude  has  done  enough  minor  damage  in  her  quest  to  find  a  way  inside  that  it  undoubtedly  adds  up  to  a  pretty  substantial  charge.    if  he  really  wants  to  take  her  in  or  write  her  up,  then  he’s  got  a  case.    she  doesn’t  mean  or  want  to  cause  as  much  trouble  as  she  has,  but  the  ends  justifies  the  means.

Forrest loved visiting museums. There weren’t too many back home, considering the small town he had grown up in, so it always made them seem like so much more of a treat. Sometimes his parents would take him, or he would go on a school trip, but it was never something that he did with friends. Usually, he didn’t have any he felt like asking. He was afraid they would just think it’s boring. Jude had actually been the one to suggest it this time, though, so maybe it would be okay.

Excitement was something he was trying to hold back, but as they actually stepped inside, it became impossible. Hand goes to take hers, map held in his other hand. He’d had this all mapped out beforehand, though, having spent the night before looking over every exhibit just in anticipation.

“Th-There’s this r-r-really cool uhm, exhibit on uhm, on impr-pressionism. I wanna see th-that first.” And for once, he’s taking charge. Dragging her around.

            museums  aren’t  really  in  her  wheelhouse,  not  unless  they’re  the  kind  on  the  fringe  of  what  one  would  consider  a  real  museum,  the  kind  you  stumble  across  in  a  dark  back  alley.    but  this  one  was  open,  it  was  nearby,  &&  forrest  had  seemed  to  really  like  the  idea,  so  jude  just  grinned  &&  nodded  in  agreement.    she  could  easily  squint  at  some  long  -  dead  guys’  artwork  for  a  few  hours  if  it  made  him  happy.

            she  can’t  hold  back  a  low  whistle  at  the  size  of  the  main  room.    it’s  no  blacklight  arcade,  but  jude  can  appreciate  nice  architecture.    she’d  only  glanced  at  the  place’s  website  when  trying  to  find  a  daytime  activity  for  them,  just  enough  to  understand  what  exhibit  he’s  talking  about.    ❝    impressionism    .  .  .   that’s  like  paintings,  right  ?    ❞

            he  throws  her  off  balance,  in  more  ways  than  one,  when  he  takes  her  hand,  dragging  her  along  to  their  first  destination.    jude  is  compliant,  smiling  at  his  enthusiasm,  even  as  she  has  to  take  two  steps  to  match  his  one.    it’s  cute.    she  squeezes  his  hand  lightly.    ❝    hold  on,  roadrunner  !    my  legs  are  a  whole  lot  shorter  than  yours  !    ❞
