An RP piece

xD Part of an RP with my friend Jem last night.  Playing detective is fun.  And on my side, when that detective is one Jimmy Kudo, it's even better >)  Don't worry if you don't know what's going on, I doubt very many would understand our RP's anyway xD  Diff font colors mean diff chars speaking.  Oh and Jem, sorry for the deja vu in 3, 2, 1... >)

 

AnTI P0ke (2:35:41 AM): I'm just like other girls, okay? I can't take it anymore! Anytime I fall or get into some sort of rumble, someone's acting like it's a big deal! I can take care of myself! ::she turned sharp, revealing some of the car grease, the same exact kind from the bathroom, was on her calf muscle((Ooou, a twist >) )). She went to the stairs, a tear escaping her eye:: ::he bowed his head, upset:: ~All she wants to do is be a loner in her fights...she needs to know that she has friends!~
LegendaryAquatre (2:38:50 AM): Jem, wait. Your friends just want to make sure you're alright. They'd act the same if, or when another is hurt. *he walked after her* Just let me help, at least? *his eyes widened sharply, just before narrowing* ((A twist which Jimmy notices, of course >) )) *she sighed softly, looking down* ~Why can't anything ever just be happy around here...Someone's always getting hurt--~ *she glanced at Jimmy, then to Jem* ~--and it never seems to let up...~
AnTI P0ke (2:42:21 AM): I'm taking a long shower and cleaning up ((NOO she's got evidence XD)) and mending my own cuts, okay? Goodbye and goodnight! ::she turned back to the stairs:: ::he sighed:: ~Let there be peace in this household...for once...~
LegendaryAquatre (2:43:30 AM): Jem...hold on. *he softly muttered "Ouch..." as he stood up, walking over to her* Can I talk to you for a moment? *his voice was light, hiding the serious tone in his eyes that only Jem would be able to see, with the way he was standing*
AnTI P0ke (2:45:58 AM): ::she turned around, blinking, but nodded. They went into another room.:: Jimmy...sit down before you hurt yourself anymore...W-what's wrong? ::she looked in his eyes:: ~What's wrong...?~
LegendaryAquatre (2:47:30 AM): *he shook his head, even as little beads of sweat wet the hair on his temples, from the effort of standing and walking* I just wanted to ask you what really happened out there...Before you washed away the evidence. *he pointed to the grease mark on her leg*
AnTI P0ke (2:51:14 AM): ::she looked at the grease on her leg, stightly gasping:: ~What?! Is Dave...is he my rapist? Did he try to set up Daren...?~ ::she sighed, and then told him the whole thing, feeling proud of her detective work::
LegendaryAquatre (2:52:52 AM): *he listened, silent, smiling when she was done* Sounds like you...handled yourself quite well, out there. *his sentence was punctuated by a soft grunt, but he kept himself standing*
AnTI P0ke (2:55:09 AM): Thanks. ::she smiled, slightly blushing:: Jimmy...please, sit down... you should be resting! ::she got a chair for him:: Here you go... ::she bit her lip, then asked:: What do you think about the grease mark?
AnTI P0ke (2:55:46 AM): (( Btw, Daren's the man we're after in the end xD ))
LegendaryAquatre (2:57:00 AM): *he shook his head a bit* I'm fine... But as far as the grease mark goes, are you asking if I think it was Dave and not really Daren?
AnTI P0ke (2:58:40 AM): Yes. ::she looked up to him with fear in her eyes:: Is it Dave? Oh...I just want this to be solved!
LegendaryAquatre (3:00:23 AM): *he stepped forward a bit stiffly, and knelt down, cringing slightly at the pain that caused* Bear with me, for a moment...*supporting himself with one knee, he placed a hand beside the grease mark, peering at it closely* Huh. *he pushed himself up with both hands on the floor, looking at Jem* That mark didn't come from Dave.
AnTI P0ke (3:01:55 AM): ::she watched him, then spoke:: Wh-what? But how? I would've noticed it before! Are you sure? ~Look who I'm asking...~
LegendaryAquatre (3:03:48 AM): I'm sure, Jem. *he smiled a bit* See, it is fresh, and you did get it while outside a few minutes ago, but it didn't come from Dave. From the way you described the incident, you hit the ground at least once, which is where you got it...A small bit of grease on the grass; there's even a pattern of meshed-together blades in the smear on your leg.
AnTI P0ke (3:05:44 AM): ::she looked at him, shocked:: But then how did the grease get in the backyard? I would've heard Tux go crazy with Daren in the pasture, and we would've seen him!
LegendaryAquatre (3:07:20 AM): *he still smiled* There was a point where your horses were spooked, right? The impression I got was it was because of Dave, but there could have been enough confusion where they wouldn't notice another person lurking in the night..
AnTI P0ke (3:09:36 AM): Yes, Drifter was at the far corner near the woods, when he came charging. Tux must've seen the person and spooked, too. I know they wanted me to fall off from the horse to get hurt, but what did they do to spook the horses? My horses are usually really calm.
LegendaryAquatre (3:11:10 AM): I wouldn't know enough about horses to make a guess, Jem. But..*he let out a soft exhale, his hand going to a sore spot on his chest as he looked back at her* It could have been any number of things.
AnTI P0ke (3:12:39 AM): Do you think it was Daren trying to frame Justin again?
LegendaryAquatre (3:13:43 AM): *he nodded* It could have been. Or he could have been trying to frame Dave, make you think he was the one, rather than Daren...Unfortunately enough for him, he's a pretty greasy person, and I don't just mean the car fluids.
AnTI P0ke (3:15:54 AM): Maybe we can go examine the pasture when you're feeling better. I need to wash up, anyway... ::she sort of bowed her head:: And I'm sorry for yellingto you and everyone else. I just kind of felt over protected...
LegendaryAquatre (3:16:40 AM): I may just go out there later on, anyway...*he put a hand on her shoulder, smiling at her* It's alright, Jem. You've been under a lot of stress lately.
LegendaryAquatre (3:17:18 AM): *he lowered his head a bit, eyes closing in a strange smile* We all have...
AnTI P0ke (3:19:26 AM): ::she looked up and wore a faint smile:: I can't stop you from going out there because you'll find a way to get out anyway, but I do ask that I join you, please.
LegendaryAquatre (3:20:30 AM): *he blinked once, then smiled* Of course, Jem. You deserve a part in this even more than I do, it's your right.
AnTI P0ke (3:22:42 AM): ::she smiled back:: Thanks. You understand how I feel...I have that sense in me. I can barely keep myself on earth because I want to solve this once and for all! And right now, my heart is going a mile a minute because of this clue...the rish of it all is awesome!
LegendaryAquatre (3:23:54 AM): *he grinned* I know how you feel. The rush of getting close to an end, of finding that one final clue to piece everything together, of the hunt and chase, it's all so exhilerating! And a big part of the reason I am what I am.
AnTI P0ke (3:26:27 AM): When I saw Dave's carrier case at the tree, I had it in a snap! I was so happy and confident that Dave was hiding behind the tree! And sure enough, Dave appears. I feel like I'm reading a book about a detective, but I get to be the detective!
LegendaryAquatre (3:28:55 AM): I have the exact same feeling every day. Ever since I was little I've been reading my father's writings, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's, Edogawa Rampo's ((Japanese mystery writer)) and many, many other great writers of detective stories...I even have several hundred books and novels. I always found the life of a detective to be so engaging, and from a really young age I knew I wanted to be one. And everytime I get that feeling of solving a case, I never regret my decision.
AnTI P0ke (3:31:39 AM): ::she smiled, but then frowned:: I kind of regret finding the answer...I guess I'm still compassionate for Daren and Justin and Dave. They all've gotten me so screwed up in the head that I actually feel bad about this...
LegendaryAquatre (3:33:08 AM): *he nodded a bit, cringing briefly at a stab of pain in his back* Unfortunately, that's the downside to it all...There are times when you'll have to take down someone you care about on any level. And even worse, that's actually the case more often than one would think...*he shrugged a bit, sighing softly* That's the life of a detective, though.
AnTI P0ke (3:38:43 AM): ::she sighed, nodding:: Well, you had better rest... I can tell you're in a lot of pain. I really appreciate you helping me. ::she took a look in the mirror and gasped:: That's no blade cut! ::the gash was deep, then shallow, then deep:: There was something in the field that had spikes...or teeth...or something!
LegendaryAquatre (3:39:25 AM): I can deal with the-the pain--huh? *he looked at the reflection as she did* Spikes, or teeth...
AnTI P0ke (3:41:07 AM): Well...now we know what to look for inthe field. ::she nodded:: I'm going to take a long shower and rest. My stomach still hurts from the kick...
LegendaryAquatre (3:42:06 AM): Yeah, I noticed you were breathing with a little difficulty back in the other room, usually how one does after a hit to the stomach...You just let me, or any of the others know if you need anything, alright?
AnTI P0ke (3:43:42 AM): ::she nodded, smiling:: And that goes for you, with me. Do you want me to help you go back?
LegendaryAquatre (3:44:50 AM): *he shook his head* No, I can walk on my own...*almost as if to prove the point, he smiled at Jem again just before turning and starting to leave the room, obviously walking through a lot of pain, but saying nothing of it*
LegendaryAquatre (3:45:27 AM): Oh and Jem...*he stopped and turned his head to look at her, smirking* You can give me my bowtie back now.
AnTI P0ke (3:46:09 AM): ::she looked at him:: Cb told you, huh, about how we found you.
LegendaryAquatre (3:47:02 AM): *he shook his head* No, I just noticed a small bulge in your pocket. CB actually hasn't said anything about how you guys found me; we haven't gotten much chance to talk between my waking up and now.
AnTI P0ke (3:48:54 AM): Oh, sorry for holding you back! ::she handed him the bowtie::
LegendaryAquatre (3:50:06 AM): *he smiled, and pocketed it* It's alright. One thing at a time, right? *he opened the door and stepped out into the hall, closing the door partially behind him. After a couple steps he stopped, leaning heavily on the wall beside him for a long moment, taking a few deep breaths* ~Damn...Just what did they do? Hurts worse..than I thought...~ *pushing off the wall, he started back towards the room where the others were at*
