MELISSA REED , a detroit : become human OC

[fcrensis]

hi sweeties !! my muse for melissa has been absent for a little while now and as much as i adore her and desperately want to get to all of my wonderful threads with you, i think it’s best for me — instead of forcing myself to write mediocre replies — to take a short break and avoid pressuring myself.

i will not be away from her for long and you are all more than welcome to send me things in the meantime !!

if you would still like to talk to me, be it about threads or muse relationships or headcanons or anything ooc, i am still reachable on here. otherwise, feel free to add my discord below ; just let me know who you are or i may not accept !!

melissa walks into the precinct, sees gavin sitting at his desk, minding his own business, hurting nobody.

slaps him across the back of the head anyway.

my dudes i kinda wanna make a multimuse and shift melissa over there because i have SO many more oc’s i want to explore and so many old canon muses that i have a lot of love for

but at the same time like yikes ??? you guys know i’m slow now and i would feel really bad leaving people waiting on stuff,,,

anyway i guess i just wanted to gauge how many of you would be willing to follow me over there if i did do that and write with me, be it with mel or anybody else, so let a bitch know !!!

6 geckos come walking over and start to chirp for attention.

So. That wasn’t generally something that one expected to see on their desk, six little geckos. Melissa pursed her lips, decided she’d already used up whatever energy she could’ve partitioned off for purposes of wondering about their origin.

She’d seen weirder shit so many hours into the workday.

Instead of questioning it -- or interacting with the peculiar reptiles -- she poked her head out the door of her office and pointed inside.

“ Hey, are these anyone’s lizards ? ”

when mel’s drunk she just gets super loving honestly

causes no problems but she keeps getting emotional and telling people how pretty they are

“The idea was not to accumulate knowledge at a steady pace, but to exhaust the entire field as quickly as possible, even if it ended in a spasm of rejection.

‘The poet, seated on the Muses’ tripod, furiously pours out all that comes into his mouth, like the gargoyle of a fountain, and there escape from him things of diverse colour, contrary substance, and interrupted flow.’”

–  via Graham Robb’s Rimbaud

It would be a lie if Connor said he hadn’t missed Melissa. A few nights spent out investigating with Hank meant he hadn’t caught her, she was human and had to sleep sometimes. But when he noticed she was in the precinct at the same time he was he was straight down to her lab. “Hello Mel.” He greeted softly with a gentle smile and even lighter touch as he moved to give her a hug, long fingers twirl her hair playfully “It’s been a while.” It felt like forever “How have you been?”

“ Oh, wow, you’re in a good mood. ”

Her words drifted on the tail end of a laugh, and though his immediate affection had not been anticipated it was gratefully accepted and returned with her own fond squeeze about his middle. Whatever sins Cyberlife had committed, at least they’d made their killing machine soft.

“ I’m— ” she paused, worked her way gently out of his embrace ( THIS IS NOT A REJECTION ) with a cursory ( AND INTENTIONALLY AFFECTIONATE ) squeeze to both shoulders, “ good, I’m good. It’s been busy around here, got assigned a pretty nasty case. ” Two days ago, which had consumed her thoughts enough to stop the invasive train that kept making her mull on how strangely quiet her little lab was when the idle chatter outside her door was not occasionally punctuated with his visits. Triple homicide and kidnapping. It looked bad, and if she thought about it too hard it made her heart ache, but she was glad for the chaos, if not for the constant blips of screens that whispered yet another sample didn’t mean jack about shit.

But despite the temporary distraction, she knew from the fullness in her chest that she had missed him. God. She had actually really missed him. And there was this stupid smile on her face and GOD she couldn’t choke it down so she turned her back on him instead, went back to little tubes of samples, text on a screen that she wasn’t actually reading. Tried to look like she was actually busy and not just acting like it.

“ Nice to see you missed me, anyway. Your case coming along ? ”

If ever in doubt about the possibility of looking like a soft and vulnerable fool, it was always advisable to default to conversations about work, and not to hope to see any semblance of that same idiocy in an android. She drummed her fingertips on the desk.

“Is the cat in a onesie?” “Uh, no? - lol yes

                                                           sentence starters

                                                                 accepting

Melissa had … questions. She had them – they lingered on the tip of her tongue, sentences forming just to die there – but she didn’t voice them, a tad preoccupied with her current task of standing rooted in place, mouth hanging dumbly open, finger still pointedly raised towards the cat.

The cat which was, despite Sixty’s objection, wearing a onesie.

It was the cutest fucking thing she had ever seen in her life.

The questions came flooding back as she corrected herself, crossed arms about her front, and rose a pointed brow. They would not speak of the gentle amusement she wore on her expression like a light perfume. Questions like where one would even find a onesie so small, or how they’d go about getting a cat to wear it in the first place, or, more importantly,

“ Um, sorry, why exactly is there a cat here ? ”

In hindsight, the onesie was probably more important. Fuck, it was cute.

[fcrensis]

“ I know, ” the sigh fell from her lips like rain. They both knew things, but knowledge did not necessitate change. Melissa rose her hand, pressed cold carbon-fibre to Kate’s, pressed her cheek into the palm-curve. The action felt clumsy. Everything she did always felt so fucking clumsy when it was with her. “ I know. ”

Kate had never told her  —  there had been no revelation, no wordy confession or confrontation but the moniker hung above their heads like a blaring neon light, BATWOMAN in bright, screaming red. She hadn’t needed to be told ; she looked up one day and just knew.

Now she couldn’t stop looking up.

Never the less, she smiled. From somewhere deep in her gut she wished that it wasn’t there, the light, the moniker. But it would never be her place to ask her to stop, to ever insinuate that the decision was in any way hers to make. If all she could do was keep her phone on and a space free on the couch, she could do that. “ I just wish nobody had to do it. Gotham was fucked enough before the big bads showed up. ”

Melissa wasn’t looking her in the eye any more.
