His praise fanned her confidence into a burst of flickering flames. Smiling, her eyes lit up and a buzz trickled down her arms and back.
[break][break]

"Really? You think so?"
[break][break]

Her voice peaks into a soft, tight-pitched shrill. Then, a sudden splash of silence. She recoiled back into herself, shaking off the excitement. Back to it.
[break][break]
"I'd say I'm pretty good at working in a team-based setting. I love collaboration and thrive in it! I'm also pretty meticulous and thorough - I'm not one to miss a mistake!" .

"Really? Why?"
[break][break]

She reached in for her own donut. Electricity buzzed in the air around them; it felt more like a shard of a story than reality. Still, she stifled the urge to relate their small, insignificant conversation to anything more than what it was.
[break][break]

A shared day among future coworkers. Coworkers he was excited for...
[break][break]

She bit down on the donut, again swallowing that thought.
[break][break]

A smile blossomed across her face. Girlish and bright, she let out a soft chuckle.
[break][break]

"Be forced to bake all of these sweets alone, i guess."
[break][break]

A sentence crueler than hell itself.
[break][break]
Her hands returned to her sides as she moved back toward their creations-in-the-making. Still half done and unimpressive, there was a long way left to go. They'd manage, though. .

With only wolfgang volkov 's orders left fumbling in her head, the engineer nodded and made efforts toward the pointed direction. Left and right, the spacecraft clumsily maneuvered around the arcs of lightning. Flying was hardly one of Rory's hobbies, but thanks to a bit of simulation practice (flight sim 2023), survival in this world of electricity was still possible.
[break][break]
"Sorry," she breathed, as they come to a frustratingly rough stop. Gravel and rock kicked up into the air as the spacecraft's nose dipped downward. It wasn't until several seconds after that their seat beats would loosen.
[break][break]
Clicking herself free of its confinements, awkward shuffling sent her scooting past wolfgang volkov , whose hovering left Rory's face bleeding red during the entirety of her flight. Hopefully, he didn't notice.
[break][break]
"Here we are!"
[break][break]
A pause.
[break][break]
"At a building!"
[break][break]
Another pause.
[break][break]
"With some...rock?"
[break][break]
Pressed up next to the entrance of the fortified building were several spirals of fulgurites. They clawed up at the heavens, embittered and solidified in place. .

[break][break]
"recon! recon! recon," they cried, converging onto it, snuffing out its nonexistent life.
[break][break]
The others shuffled in, and with them came the rushing waves of urgency that forced Rory into the helm of the spacecraft. White knuckled hands squeezing its steering stick, Rory flicked a few switches before fully powering the machine to life. When it did, she plunged them forward.
[break][break]
"Where to," she barely managed to call out over her shoulder, the pressures of navigation forcing her rigid. Driving was far from her list of expertise, but for the time being, she would be able to make do. .

Funnel cakes, donuts, churros - she went the whole nine yards for this. And just one look at James' surprised expression was enough to make it worth the effort.
[break][break]
"I know, but I wanted to! As thanks."
[break][break]
She smiled sweetly at him. Since the beginning, James had been nothing less than a lifesaver. First introducing her to FERNANDO SILPH and aeos, then going as far as helping her with the interviews, too. He was a true friend.

Still, Rory listened, carefully inserting her calculated 'uh-huhs' and 'hmms' to reassure her that she was, in fact, still listening. Though, the further the story trailed on, the less and less she needed these little flags of confirmation, as the twisted look of horror explained more than enough.
[break]
[break]

"First," she started, resting the cup of soft-serve back on the table. Its spoon kept jutted out, as if it served as a small reminder of its own existence in this mess. "Annie-"
[break]
[break]

why would you even agree to stay over, she was going to say, but immediately scrapped. That could be a lecture for another night. Today was for SUPPORT.
[break]

"Wait, so he went from talking about his ex to kissing you? And you're friends with him?"

[break]

She shook her head.

"I love you too, Annie," she sniffled back, the sentimental nature of the call plaguing her like a disease. "Stay right there. I'm on my way."
[break][break]
From there, Rory hung up and set out to do what she promised. Throwing on a pair of pink shorts, black Converses, and an oversized yellow hoodie, the young scientist sprung into action.
[break][break]

The uber was called, taken, and tipped.
[break][break]

Of course, with her arrival, the two hugged, cried a little, and then set off to the nearest late-night ice cream parlor. Aka the 24 hour fast food joint.
[break][break]

There, in the corner booth, they sat with their cups and spoons in hand.

This was some season 6 crazy-level drama that would end in ripples of forum debates, where half of the audience would praise the show for taking on interesting twists, while the others sought complaints about how wildishly unrealistic everything had become. Right now? Rory opinion swayed into the third category of thought: this was just too much.

Cradling the phone in her hands, Rory pushed herself out from the covers. She was the type to panic when others panic, so naturally, she had found herself pacing the room. Like always.

For the first time that night, a soft giggle leaked through. One is not born from stiff awkwardness, or her innate inability to navigate through tense social situations like this, but rather, an actual shard of genuine laughter.

And it's through that bubble of enjoyment, a thought made its way through her thoughts, followed by an uplifting smile.

"Maybe we should call it early? I've been, mm, debating it, but wasn't sure if it would be too obvious if I left by myself."

"I remember Grimmie," she smiled, nodding. The pokemon hadn't been too rough during their sessions. More understanding than most, actually. Maybe it was within Houdoom's natural instincts to behave. "She is a sweetheart. I hope she's been doing alright since then. Give her lots of treats for me!"

Her fingers moved to below the stray houndoom's chin, softly scratching the pink, bald patch.

Nights have grown long and restless. Between working late into the night with JAMES BAKER , trying to get wolfgang volkov to talk to her during office hours, and spending any additional time binging the newest season of Bridgerton, there hadn't been much girl time left over. Sometimes Rory mourned that loss, but then she remembered how busy annalise henderson was herself, and even if given the chance, the young ranger probably would've given an answer no different than her own.

Which made this onslaught of calls so unexpected.

"Huh," her voice was hoarse. She blinked herself awake, then tried again. "Who kissed you?"
