If she had been awake, Drake would have simply stated that she’d been through worse, that she’d live. There were worse things than a stab wound, even if it still hurt. All that had happened was a small fuck-up, nothing a few stitches couldn’t fix.

All of this didn’t change the fact that this could kill her. One of these days, something that had to do with her job would kill her. Heck, she’d already been to the hospital enough times to know the names of the majority of the doctors and nurses.

If she had been awake, Drake might have corrected him. Person, not people. Pete knew how many accidents she had, and always rushed over. But with her lack of family, in addition Tarr and Corrigan leaving the Shift... Nobody else was really going to be waiting. 

And that was perfectly fine with her, at  this rate, they’d eventually just be waiting for a corpse.

“Might have?” Could have been a kidnapping, if the person knew anything that the criminals didn’t want them to know. If it was a runaway, why would they do that? Drug addiction maybe?

An accomplice? She wished she could say she was surprised, but at this point it was to be expected. Even after all that, Jim didn’t have control over it. 

“And how did that happen? You say that you were controlling him, so how did he end up taking over?” None of this was ever going to really change, was it? He didn’t seem to own up to it, didn’t seem to bother fighting for control anymore. She might have to end it sooner than she thought, there was a gun in one of the cabinets, all she had to do was get it... 

But she didn’t. There wasn’t a whole city being threatened, she didn’t have to make an immediate decision.

‘ if i step on a… a fly? does a fly’s ghost… stay around? ‘

‘ shadows do tend to follow you, though. that’s sorta how they work.

Just gotta stab the old dude. No problem, except for the very angry crabs. Guess they didn’t like the noise. Just end this as quickly as possible, end it before more damage is done. 

The thing about doing something for a long time, you get used to it. You get used to the pain, to what you have to do. That tends to make people get sloppy, maybe not looking at something, maybe they’ll get a little cocky towards the end.

Lisa Drake was no exception. Even if she wasn’t really human, she was still about as vulnerable as one, and there were only so many opponents one could handle at a time. But she hated it when criminals got away, so she just ran. No cuffs, no way to restrain him, so she took her knife, and slit the necromancer’s throat.

“... I think he’s down....” Blood dripped from her mouth, looking down, she noticed the stained fabric of her shirt. It was only a matter of time before her recklessness caught up with her. “...Guess I am too... Heh, not how I thought it’d end...” A joke that was made everytime she had a wound like this. Still didn’t stop her from blacking out.

HIATUS NOTICE

I'm at Illinois visiting some family for the week.

Reblog if your muse has scars.

What was with this dude and crabs? This was starting to turn into one of those cheesy movies, like that one with the 3-headed shark. If she hadn’t known better, she would have assumed these were mutations from radioactive waste, or something.

“Ok, fuckers, let’s dance.”

Now, she was just done with this bullshit. “Dodging the fireballs, she pulled out her knife and gun, repeatedly shooting and stabbing the creatures. No time to act calm, not when she was feeling sick. Not when someone was going to die soon. All she could do was hope it would be one of these fuckers.

Or, maybe the scream would be her own demise. It was getting hard to see, hard to stand. Before she knew it, her weapons had slipped from her hands, head colliding with the floor. Before one of them could take her out, it came, the noise tearing through the air, quite possibly shattering the eardrums of the nearby crustaceans.

He always seemed to get like this whenever he disappeared. Of course, it was usually only for a day or two, a week at the most.

“Don’t be sorry, but at least leave a note or something next time.” Hard to believe this was the same man who contained the wrath of God. “Where were you, anyway?” Not like she didn’t already know. Probably not the best idea to bring up the other cosmic being she had encountered while he was away.”

[detectxvedrake-blog]

“He used to be my partner when we were working in the GCPD. I bumped into him when I was undercover in narcotics.” He almost had a gun emptied into him, she had to shoot a few people, all that fun stuff. “Can’t remember when I first saw the other guy, didn’t really get a good look at him until the Craddock case.” Aka, the time she learned she would in fact smooch a ghost. “I mean, I didn’t die any of those times, so that’s good.”

Jim was a nice guy for the most part, then there was that asshole. As unwise as it would be, the Spectre was probably going to get an earful the next time she saw him. “Any other cosmic beings I should be aware of?” Mostly just so she didn’t end up getting herself killed like an idiot.

[detectxvedrake-blog]

“Midnight Shift, it’s what we specialize in. You’d think more people would believe in this kind of thing after the last major incident we had.” Or, almost everytime Jim lost his shit.

“People live in denial. It’s what they do with things they can’t comprehend, or with what scares them. There are forces out there that can easily wipe them out, and they’re afraid. You can’t really blame them for that.”

A bit startled at the last statement, but it wasn’t the first time somebody figured out what she was. “Yeah, not being human does that to you.”

[detectxvedrake-blog]

“Well, I’m not a conjurer, I’m lucky I’m even able to use the little bits of magic needed now and then. Even if I was trying to use the supernatural to my advantage, I wouldn’t be a cop. If you want to find somebody like that, try looking at people in bigger positions of power, a necromancer, or somebody looking for vengeance.”

[detectxvedrake-blog]

“Kid, nothing really surprises me about the supernatural anymore.” 

She raised an eyebrow at the other’s question. “What do you mean by that?” Drake was pretty sure nobody would go as far as to risk decapitation if their motives were selfish. But she knew how these questions went, some sort of information that made you look at your life usually came after.

my name is jim corrigan. I've never believed in ghosts until I became one. so I set out on a quest to make sure i dont murder anyone. i am joined only by my fellow investigator lisa drake and our equipment tech szandor tarr. the three of us will travel to the some of most highly active paranormal locations, where we will spend an entire night, locked down from dusk until dawn....raw...extreme...These are our GHOST ADVENTURES

Lisa’s probably going to be picking all the fights with the ghosts.

Jim accidentally sets off the ghost-detectors, a faint outlines of Spectre might show up on camera, same with Justine.

Poor, poor Dr. Tarr.

“Well, this man has managed to piss off a bunch of spirits/demons/etc. Once he’s dead, they're still going to be pissed off. Last thing people need is a neighborhood being fucked up because somebody decided to be stupid.”
