[ posted in beta ] open starter * based on this plot! open to any gender identity, 24+ in age please!
velma had been arduously trained not to let panic get the better of her, so it's anomalous to her that her heart would be rattling so fervently inside her chest right now, the cold tips of her fingers feeling numb and tingly. her options are painfully limited. she can hear her boss's voice in her head, telling her to admit to being unfaithful, get kicked out of their apartment, and have more time and privacy to focus on the mission. with great resolve, velma opens her mouth, fully intent on admitting to something she didn't do. only instead; she procrastinates. "what the hell would make you think i would cheat on you?" comes out of her mouth before she knows what she's saying, a feigned look of betrayal and shock woven across her face. she shakes her head and looks down, using all of her mental strength to navigate this situation with extreme precision. "this promotion has just been extremely time consuming, love. i have to be available at the drop of a hat." velma scolds herself within her head for sounding so unconvincing, wondering where all of her training and experience has run off to all of the sudden.
