It's called a hustle sweetheart

Nani nodded firmly. “No problem!” she replied, breathing a sigh of relief as Judy (apparently) went off to deal with the so-called other car, leaving her to scramble to her own car when she was out of sight. Nani had no reason to believe that she had seemed suspicious, nor did she expect to be watched from behind another car.

Nani went to her own car quickly, first checking that there wasn’t a ticket on the wind shield, and breathing a further sigh of relief when the screen was clear. There had been a meter ticket attached to her window, but it had long since expired. She ripped it off before anyone could even see, tossing it in a nearby trashcan.

She pursed her lips in annoyance as she saw Nani toss out a previous parking ticket.  “You know,” she spoke up with an icy tone.  “Not paying parking tickets is a good way to get a warrant out on you.”  Judy tapped her foot, crossing her arms in annoyance.

“Huh?” Paulo replied dumbly, as if he didn’t understand what she was saying. Of course they had the placard, the doctor had given them one. He would never park in a handicap spot if he didn’t have– Then he suddenly remembered.

“…we left it in Tino’s car!” He exclaimed in anguish, more to himself than the officer. He remembered that he’d asked his nephew to grab it but then his Dad distracted them both as he nearly fell in the garage and they must have forgotten it entirely. Dread pooled in the pit of his stomach as he realized he was about to get a ticket. That was not an expense he’d accounted for in his very tight budget. And he really, really didn’t want to have to ask Michael for money. “Miss– Officer– I’m really sorry. I promise we have a placard. My father broke his foot and he’s on crutches. He’s right in the community center, I could go get him…” His voice trailed off with the futility of it all. It didn’t matter what he said. Without the actual placard, he had broken the law. With a resigned sigh, his shoulders slumped, looking like a kicked puppy. “…I’ll take the ticket.”

Judy’s expression softened as Paulo rambled.  He genuinely seemed so upset and resigned.  She sighed and folded up the ticket.  “Tell you what, I’ll give you a warning today.  I think you got the message without needing the fine.”  

The officer licked her lips, looking him over.  “Are you okay?”  Paulo looked especially frazzled.

Parker smiled up at her, lifting his hand higher to make it easier for her to see the bee. “Probably. Or maybe fermented nectar. Or fermented berries. Something was probably fermented.” He smiled again, small but pleased, when she stroked the bee. “You’re not scared of bees?”

She laughed lightly, not wanting to scare off the bee.  Judy continued to pet the bug, enjoying the texture against her skin.  “Nah.  Grew up on a farm.  Gonna take more than this little guy to give me a fright.  How about you?”

gaspard-erikkson​:

Gaspard could explain, but as always he didn’t see a reason to do so, this woman already made up her mind that he was wrong, before he might have tried to flirt his way out, but now. “No, just give me a ticket and move on with your day.” He said no understanding why she was even there waiting for the owner of the car, didn’t she had anything better to do?

The officer took in a sharp inhale, irritation mounting.  “These spots are meant for people who have difficulty moving, yet some - some asshole decided he was better than them just so he could have a closer parking spot,” she snapped.  “What?  Do you get off thinking you’re better than others?”

she recognised that look. that look was a look of someone that had no idea what she was saying and merida didn’t blame her, the accent reaches peak scottish whenever she’s angry. “aye but if we had anything of note we wouldn’t ‘ave called you. it was damn hoodlems. they’re at it. hoodlems!”

Judy bit her lip, trying not to crack a smile at the way Merida said ‘hoodlems’.  It was both cute and amusing.  She certainly could relate to feeling so passionate, though the accent made it hard to take anything the other woman said seriously  But Judy also know exactly what that was like with her own country drawl, so she was trying her best to keep a straight face.  

“Gotchya.  Hmm, well, could you show me the damage they did?”

Starter for @officerxhopps​

Oh my god, this was not happening right now! Like, of all the worst possible things that could happen to Deziree, this just had to be the top! Her car (her poor, lovely, green VW bug) just had to run out of gas before she could make it to the station, on her way home from the shittiest reception job ever, and it just had to be raining too! Her car sputtered to a stop just shy of the traffic lights, leaving a trail of impatient, tooting vehicles behind her. “No, no, no, no, nooooooo,” Deziree whined, pleading with the steering wheel. She couldn’t call Travis for more help! Not after last time. Lord, the embarrassment. It was either a blessing or a curse that a traffic warden, clad in the most hideous high-vis jacket was nearby.

[officerxhopps]

Judy gave a small smile as she lifted a hand in greeting, waiting patiently for Deziree to unroll the window.  “Hi ma’am, we’ll get you out of this as soon as we can.  Just hang tight while we first redirect traffic and then we can get you where you need to be.  Is there anyone you can call in the meantime?”  

She had brought a few traffic cones with her from her car, holding them stacked against her hip.  It was important to make sure Deziree was taken care of before she dealt with the situation.  Even if her eye twitched slightly at each blaring honk and angry yell directed at them.

Nani grinned, placing her hands on her hips. If she could only act natural for a few minutes longer, maybe distract the attendant for long enough or send her off in the opposite direction, then she could beat her to her car. “Hm? Oh, yeah, everything’s fine! Dandy. Uh, although I think I did see a car over on the other side, just off the corner that looks like it might be double-parked. Saw it when I was coming out the cafe. Looks like it could be dangerous.”

“Oh really?” she asked with ease.  Absolutely no one would want to help a cop pass out parking tickets.  This was fishy.  “I appreciate the tip, I’ll go check it out.”  She turned around with a small wave and walked a bit, ducking behind a car when she was sure Nani couldn’t see her.  Peeking around the edge, she waited for the other woman to keep moving and then followed her with quick, light steps.

Looking at the young woman then down at the plates he chuckled a bit. “It’s alright don’t sweat it. Honestly I didn’t know you could get them either until Mama came home with them.” He said with a smirk. Shifting his sister on his hip, he looked down at the bags for a moment. “Oh uh, don’t worry about it they aren’t that heavy.” He said already moving to set them into back seat of the car. Setting his sister down for a moment, the little tot bounced over to Judy, looking up at her eyes wide with curiosity she gave Judy a toothy grin. 

“Hi! I’m Aibileen Jean Bug, I am six years old. Who are you?” She asked holding a little hand out to the other. 

Even with Ray’s reassurances Judy felt absolutely horrendous.  “No, please, I insist.  I want to make it up to you.  O-or, if not that at least let me take you guys out for ice cream.  Or something.  Please.  I feel like such a jerk.”  One thing Judy’s parents always instilled in her and her siblings was to atone for your wrongs, no matter what.

Her anxiety immediately melted at the precious little girl that was looking up to her.  With a soft smile Judy knelt down so that they were eye-to-eye and took the other’s hand.  “Well, nice to meet you Miss Aibileen Jean.  I’m Judy Grace Hopps and I’m twenty eight years old.”

Chasing Cars - Snow Patrol

Any time Judy hears this song she can’t help getting a little emotional, thinking back to her friendship and partnership with Nick.  She wouldn’t be where she was today, the person she is today, if not for him.  Her feelings for him are a bit complicated, something she’s still trying to figure out, but no matter what he’s the most important person in her life.

merida was like a bat out of hell today. normally a woman that would be happy enough in her day to day exchanges was now like a woman possessed after she arrived to work today to see a number of acts of vandalism. as far as protocol goes, as the parks and recs departments is government run, it’s protocol to call the police whenever disturbances arise. merida met the police officer at front desk. “some vandalism? look at what they did to ma flowers! hoodlems! writing on the walls! am livid. livid officer hopps. this is why we can’t have nice things. i should let ma horse trample over the vandals. stomp! stomp!” she ranted on before she eventually run out of steam, unaware that her scottish accent had taken on a life of its own “oh, i’m merida dunbroch” she finally introduced herself and shook officer hopps hand.

She blinked slowly, only catching a handful of words Merida was spewing.  Something about flowers and stomp stomping?  Judy cleared her throat, trying to keep her professional face up.  “Riiight.  Do you guys have any security cameras?  Or an idea of who might have done this?”

Despite his busy schedule, Paulo always made time for his family. To be fair, his schedule was markedly less busy since he had left his job at the museum, but that just meant he had more time to take care of others! Things were especially hectic right now because his father had recently broken his foot when the car jack he had been using to fix up his latest junker gave out, dropping the whole thing on him. Since then, Paulo and his brothers had each been pulling their weight to help their father get around.

Today, he was dropping the elder Martinez off at the community center for guitar lessons, along with his nephew, Carlos. When he exited back towards his car, freshly gifted to him by Gaspard, there was a woman there waiting for him. “Huh? Oh, yeah, that’s mine. Is everything okay?”

Judy sighed and shook her head, feeling a headache coming.  She pointed to the handicap sign next to Paulo’s car so he could figure it out for himself.  “Unless I’m mistaken, I don’t see a placard.”

gaspard-erikkson​:​

Gaspard was making his way back to his car, after giving his father car away to Paulo he got him a new one, one that he truly liked it and had no previous asshole owner, he dropped his friend off since he still had some time to spare before having to go to the gym and made his way back to his car carrying a few empty boxes he got from the charity shop nearby, he still had lots of things to drop off. As he returned, he saw an angry cop near his car. “Yep, is there a problem?” He asked like it was no big deal.

Her eyes narrowed, foot tapping even faster in annoyance.  “Yeah,” she drawled.  “You’re parked in a handicap spot without a placard.  Care to explain yourself?”

[officerxhopps]

bayoubaby-ray​:

Ray looked to the handicapped plaque at the top of the lot, his brow raised a bit. “Are you aware that the plates on this car say that I can.” He said nodding down to the front plate. Looking at his sister, he shifted her a bit. His mother had a weird thing about having things hang from the review window, so the custom plates had been a must. “So, is there something wrong, Officer?”

She blinked at the plates, feeling her face burn scalding hot.  Oh.  My.  God.  Quickly folding up the ticket and putting it in her pocket, Judy looked to Ray with a deep feeling of shame.  “I am so so sorry.  I didn’t know you could get special plates.”  

Seeing the bags of groceries he was holding, Judy perked up.  “Let me help you put those in your car.  Please.” God she felt like such a jackass.  The least she could do was make it up to Ray.

Unsurprisingly, Nani was right back to being her usual headless chicken self. All the ‘excitement’ of the Speed Dating night had long since past, and now she was facing the consequences of taking an extra day off to nurse a hangover. Now she was trying to catch up on everything she hadn’t done, and that meant driving around the Hollow running seemingly endless errands.

She had stopped for all of five minutes to jump into the cafe to grab a much needed coffee, and was on her way back to her car when she spotted the dreaded ticket officer! Oh fuck! Nani couldn’t remember if she had paid the meter, and it was only a matter of time before she landed herself with a ticket. Nani half-sprinted, trying not to look suspicious, but stopped bang in her tracks when she was spotted. She looked at the car in question (terribly parked) and realised it wasn’t hers, thankfully! But she had to get to her own car without raising a red flag. “That is absolutely, without a doubt not my car! Who even parks like that?”

A small smile quirked on Judy’s lips at that.  She could tell the other woman wasn’t lying, and she could certainly agree on the shitty parking job.  Yet.....she seemed nervous for some reason.  Sighing, the cop grudgingly put the ticket under the wiper before fully turning to regard Nani.  “Is everything okay ma’am?  You seem on edge.”

Task 1 - Routine

@n-ickywilde

When Judy isn’t busy with work or maintaining her training in running and kickboxing, she admittedly spends a great deal of her free time with her partner and best friend.  They do lunch together to talk over cases, or general day-to-day chatting, listen to music together, really they do just about everything together.  Even sometimes there’s platonic cuddles and Netflix, but they’re totally platonic.  No, really.

Judy can’t start her day without one of her smoothies, chocked full of vitamins, plant-based protein, and a caffeine boost (even though Nick says she really doesn’t need more energy).  The hardest, but grudgingly best part of her routine is the bi-weekly calls Judy gets from home.  Her parents can be overwhelming, but she knows they mean well, and she misses them and her siblings dearly.
