@etoilebleu (Starter for Lucinda & June!)
“13th of July 1988. Good to know this briefcase of ours sent us to the right time, I’m just waiting for the day this little bastard screws up and sends me way off course.”
A joke, followed by a soft, cheery laugh as she drew back from the newspaper box she had been peering into. Fingers curled tightly around the handle of said black briefcase she took in her surroundings, as if searching for something. It’s dark, late at night; a time in which Lucy has always felt most at home.
“Looks like we’re heading that way!” pointing down the street with her free hand towards a flickering neon motel sign mere blocks away from where they stood. She turned her gaze towards her companion standing beside her, a grin painted on her face; a majority of the time Lucy was paired with new hires for jobs like this, effectively forcing her into a mentor role she didn’t exactly ask for. Thus, she’s more than happy to be out on a job with someone strong, experienced and capable; someone like June. Hell, the joy of good company even outweighed the extra pressure added as a result of working with her superior’s daughter.
“Let’s hurry up and get ourselves checked in so we can find a place to eat, I’m starv-“ she abruptly cuts herself off, realising that she was one again making assumptions. Starting her walk down the street, the grin remained on her face as she quickly continued, “That is, if you want to have a good time and join me for dinner. Otherwise, feel free to stay in the motel all by yourself.”
