Taking another look at the figure in the distance, Paxton could see they were in come kind of state, she quickly sped up her walk, to see if they were okay. She looked the young girl up and down before approaching her. A little taken back by the brush off, Paxton roller her eyes, “Are you sure you want me to move along, you don’t look too good? I can help you get something if you need a lift?Because if I was to walk away and something happen to you, I’d feel pretty guilty.”

Dahlia raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised at the helpfulness of the officer. “I’m fine.” She insisted. “Just a migraine, it should-” Dahlia cut herself off with a wince as she bent over, gripping her head and digging her nails into her scalp. Her entire skull felt like it was thumping against her flesh. She quickly stepped out of the light to try and regain her composure.

He gave her a curt nod once he’d heard her answer. Daryl moved towards her, leaning down so that he was the same height as her; down towards the flame afterwards. He stepped back, straightening his back once it was lit. He inhaled, tilting his head slightly to keep the smoke from blowing in her face when he exhaled. “You look extremely familiar. You work around here?”

Dahlia’s mouth twitched into a smile as she flicked the lighter off and slipped it back into her pocket. “I could say the same thing about you.” She teased lightly. While she couldn’t put a name to the face, she had seen him around the Desert Wolves clubhouse so she felt somewhat at ease around him. At least, a lot more at ease than if she recognized him as a cop or civilian. And way more at ease than if he was a Devil. “I’m a runner for the Reapers.” She said. “Dahlia Crow.”

A day filled with errands, Daryl took a moment to himself as he attempted to light the cigarette he’d fetched from the carton. One left, he came to the realization that he’d lost his lighter at some point throughout the day. He continued to check his pockets for a moment before he saw a figure come close enough that he felt it appropriate to ask, “Got a light?”

“Sure.” Although Dahlia didn’t smoke, she knew plenty of people who did so she had started to carry a lighter around for instances like this. She pulled the Zippo out of her pocket and flipped it open, pushing down on the lever to produce a flame. She cupped it with her other hand and offered it to the older man.

Paxton was just about to finish off her night shift when she drove past one of the darkened streets in her patrol car, something however caught her eye as she pulled up. Something that didn’t look quite right. A figure standing in the dark and she remembered the words her boss had drilled into her head ‘check suspicious activity.’ The thought made her quite nervous, she didn’t know who was out there or what they were doing. The officer got out of her patrol car and walked towards the figure, her hand on her gun for insurance, “This is the police, please tell me you’re not doing anything I’d have to report, for both our sakes.”

Dahlia had just paused to collect herself, leaning against a brick wall under a streetlight to stop her head from swimming. She grimaced under the harsh light, both at it’s brightness and the knowledge that it was not flattering by any stretch of the imagination. And what’s more, it only served to make things worse, making a migraine form in her head.

The last thing she needed at that moment was a cop.

Opening one eye, Dahlia turned her head to face the officer, but she kept her hands by her side. “Just collecting myself officer.” She said, wincing at the throbbing pain that had formed after speaking. “Move along.”

“I literally have no idea what you just said. Players of what? Is that like a game? And isn’t herring some sort of fish?” Callie asked with raised eyebrows. Was she already getting too old to talk to people in their early twenties without feeling like she was behind the times? Maybe her brain was just a little lagged from all the alcohol she had consumed this night alone.

“Well you’re not wrong about a herring being a fish.” Dahlia said with a chuckle. “Red herrings are basically plot points that lead nowhere, and were meant to serve as a distraction from the real clues and conclusion. You usually find them in mystery novels, but theoretically they could be put in any story from any genre.”

rinaprior:

Rina just looked at the younger girl, making no attempt whatsoever to hide that she had no idea what the fuck she went on about. “Let me ask ya’ a question there. Do ya’ actually find people who think what you’re saying is entertaining or amusing in the slightest?”

The smile on Dahlia’s face wavered for a moment, but she was able to put it back on without much effort. “My bad, sometimes I forget that not everyone shares my interests. I guess it would be kinda odd for people around here to be into Dungeons and Dragons.” She laughed lightly.

“I’m not even sure I know what any of that means. Maybe she wasn’t really in the children’s lingo anymore, or maybe the alcohol was strong than it tasted, but she didn’t ven know what a D and D GM meant.” Her brow furrowed, laughing slightly. “Is there a way you can repeat it and maybe dumb it down.”

“Sure, sorry I sometimes forget not everyone will get what I say.” Dahlia smiled apologetically. “You know the game Dungeons and Dragons? Well there’s someone called the GM, which stands for Game Master, and they write out the campaign the other players follow. And if I was a GM, I would constantly be fucking with the players.”

❛ Honestly, I’m not sure if I’m drunk to the point where that actually made a little sense or made it a little harder to comprehend. ❜ Iris didn’t do much drinking in the first place, especially not since Mathias’ birth. He was a lively child and he definitely took after his father. She had to keep an eye on him at all times it seemed and she couldn’t risk not being able to focus. Tonight was different, though. It was Woody’s homecoming and she’d definitely missed the wolves.

“Being able to comprehend something and not at the same time sounds like an entirely new plane of existence.” Dahlia grinned, leaning back against the couch she was seated on. “I’m talking about Dungeons and Dragons. You’ve heard of it right?”

Drink in hand, he approached the bar and gently set the glass down in front of them. “As promised - one drink,” he announced simply, taking a seat next to them with a soft exhale. “So, uh, did you enjoy the party?” Arlo raised an eyebrow questioningly, a half-assed attempt to make conversation. He had to do something.

Dahlia smiled kindly and nodded. “Thank you Arlo, now we will never speak of that terrible joke ever again.” She held up her new drink in a ‘cheers’ motion before taking a sip. “And yes, I had a good time. What about you?” Arlo was something of a curiosity to Dahlia. She found herself unable to read him clearly and while that may frustrate others, she was intrigued.

Arlo narrowed his eyes at the girl before him, everything that just came out of her lips not even registering in his head. If he had to guess, she might be talking about a game of sorts - but that’s only because she mentioned the word ‘players’. “I’m .. sorry, you lost me at.. wherever you started..”

A snorting laugh made it’s way past Dahlia’s lips and she smiled. “I’m talking about Dungeons and Dragons.” She clarified. “I play the game a lot but I’ve never run a campaign as a GM. I think it would be fun though. I’m guessing you’re not a big tabletop RPG fan huh?”

“I think if I was a D and D GM, I would be a total asshole. Making the players make perception rolls for no reason and giving them red herrings every five minutes.” Dahlia grinned widely, uncannily resembling a drawing of the famous Cheshire Cat. Rather fitting considering what she’s talking about. “You know, just to keep them on their toes.”
