@hockenberry​ || for sweet boy ricky

all the leads sent her to chicago, which was pretty unfortunate given its size. she’d chased a man she never met through town after town until she lost track of him altogether up until .. it was vague, but a car as rundown & stupid as his caught a woman’s attention & she seemed to live in the big city. it was fine, really - ash didn’t mind big cities, but chasing clues in a big city was hard. she didn’t know her way around, so she didn’t know where was off-limits, but she wasn’t too worried, really. she could take care of herself, even in dark alleys in shady neighborhoods. 

maybe it was the hair, the delicate frame or maybe just the backpack that caught attention, but she found herself surrounded by a bunch of guys on her search for an address. of course, awesome. “nothing to see here, guys, move along.” aware they had only very little intention of moving along, she was debating on her options. one or two guys she might be able to take on, but four? nah. “piss off, i got somewhere to be.”

4. kissing mine on the cheek.  @hockenberry​

Emma closed her eyes as Jayne kissed her cheek, then scooted closer in his arms, searching for more of that warmth; he was always a sweetheart, no matter how else people saw him, and she was surprised to realize she had needed him while he was gone, that she had wanted him there even if afraid of his possible reaction to her magic.  “I missed you, Jayne,” she murmured, letting herself voice it despite the feeling that it would pressure him into looking after her. But it wasn’t as if he seemed about to let her go either way.

“Now, we don’t have time to unpack all that.“ - dean @ ghost!barb bc i just remembered we hadn't done this omg

* john mulaney sentence starters !

“unpack all of what?” barbara asks, looking over at dean, tilting her head. she’s dead, of course. the only person that could see her is him, at the moment and she feels naked. not in the ‘ i don’t have clothes on ‘ sense but the ‘ i can’t believe i’m dead and he must be a ghost hunter ‘ sense. barbara refuses to talk about anything else, it seems. “i think ---- we should talk about it.”

“ you know how i feel. ” - from flynn!!! @hockenberry​

Emma had been confused by the situation before, but when Flynn added that, which had to be related to how he felt about her, she felt unsure of what he meant since he seemed so sure of it--her expression turned perplexed for a second, then thoughtful, and finally brightened up and she exclaimed with confidence: “Happy!”

But that didn’t seem to have anything to do with anything, including their new stolen kisses, and she frowned lightly even if still smiling: “Uhh-no, you meant, the part where I’m very pretty? So we kiss and... I’m confused, what do those things have to do with anything?”

@hockenberry​ - for sc

“Hey Cap’n, you seen my lucky wrench? Jayne said he saw you with it?” she frowned, confused as to why the Captain had run off with her favorite wrench. If there was something he needed fixed, all he had to do was ask. Plus, she felt uneasy not knowing where the tool was. Maybe it was silly, but it was her lucky wrench and had gotten them out of a number of scrapes.

❝ Where in the world do you think we can go to next?❞ - liam @hockenberry​

Jenny, that’s how she introduced herself and that’s what’s growing on her, smiles looking up from the book and glancing outside of the freight train’s window. “We are going to reach civilization soon and I am picking a random next mystery to solve wherever it is.”

“Haven’t you gotten tired of traveling with a know-it-all anyway?”

❝ What do you need to make this work? ❞ - jas @hockenberry​

Amelia stopped for a moment, not only because having forgotten that she wasn’t in her usual lone-wolf who planned and then gave the orders situation, but because she kept being taken aback by Jas’ willingness to get along with her. Not that she had had any choice but to run from him, but she should have, for his own sake, avoided getting closer to him to begin with.  “Right... Truthfully, I only need someone to keep watch from this position, the only one left uncovered. There is a tunnel here, see,” she pointed at the map to show him, and as she did so, her necklace slipped from under her shirt.

“I’m all for improvising, but I’d still prefer to be hanging upside-down without having to worry about getting shot in the back.”

 @hockenberry​ + liam

That she had to try to save him wasn’t even a question, but once grabbed her rope, jumped through the falling rocks and slipping down the trap to grab the man and bring him back to safety using all her body strength not to drop him, Amelia found herself if she should stick around or run. She didn’t know if he was there because tasked to find her, if he’d turn and stab her the moment she relaxed. But he was also just one man who had nearly died a moment ago, and she just couldn’t run off. 

“Hey.” After having placed him down, she knelt with him and brought a comforting hand over his shoulder, “Are you alright? Did you get hurt?”
