Summary: A day and a night in the life. Started as prose, but action tags are welcome to those who prefer them.
Warnings: Likely to be violence against monsters in the nighttime thread. Will add others later if needed.


Celes didn't lead the most exciting of lives. Even work as a police officer could be dull at times, filing all of that paperwork and handling minor disturbances.

And home life was rather lonely these days, being the only one left at the boarding house. So much empty space. Maybe she should start looking for a smaller place of her own herself; she's saved enough. But that would be something to think about another day. And it wasn't really the solitude that she minded most of the time.

Even if that was some of what made her go outside some nights.

There would have been something wrong if either of them had been hurt. She'd only asked the question to reciprocate; her social skills still left something to be desired, at times.

Her eyebrow went up a little at that offer. What the hell? "You don't have to do anything like that. It was just an accident."

Jubilee just smiled. Too many guys had used that lame line to pick her up. She was glad she wasn't the only one who didn't fall for it. To push or not to push? Jay... would push, or not.

... Being someone else was hard with her brain.

"Ah, well, can't blame a guy for trying to take out a pretty girl to lunch."

... Where the hell had that come from? Whatever. Roll with it. "Don't suppose you know a decent place around here to get soup and salad do you?"

Hey, is the image inducer making Jubes look any taller? If not, Celes has about 6 inches on her.

That? Just got a flat stare. Honestly, who in the world thought this was clever? It was just pathetic. She was dangerously close to rolling her eyes, but she had more dignity than to actually do it. At least for now.

Still, the guy wasn't being overtly rude or anything, so she supposed it would be a bit excessive to be too annoyed with him over it. Or at least keep from expressing her annoyance too much. Because she couldn't deny the feeling; she tended to get hit on regularly anymore.

So she shrugged dismissively before chucking a thumb over her shoulder. "There's a serviceable place about three blocks down the street."

It COULD but it isn't, no. So she's still SHORT.

Ah, this girl was more like Rogue who didn't seem to understand or accept a compliment when she got one. Jubilee could roll with that. Luckily, she knew how to hide her mannerisms. Training on Blue Team, by Betsy, by Logan... all of it culminated in her being able to do things like this and hide.

"Thanks." Jubilee pushed herself up, sipping her coffee. "Sure I can't entice you to that lunch? I hate eating alone."

Which, actually, was true. She got tired of eating alone. Because, seriously, she did it all the time. And being out like this was a chance to do things without people realizing who she was. And a chance to get her brain straight.

Well, she did have time before she had to go into work; she only had afternoon duty today. And was there really any reason to just isolate herself when she was already moving about in the city? Daylight, and a public place meant that things were less likely to go awry, anyway.

"I do have a bit of time before work. I suppose it couldn't hurt. But I can pay my own way, so don't bother asking to treat me again."

[thelittlestbub]

Jubilee smiled, and held up her hands in surrender. "I promise. No more asking to treat you." Because, why not? "How about we head to that soup and salad place?"

Oh, she should probably have manners. "I'm Jay Yashida by the way." She extended a hand to be shook. Somewhere, Logan was growling. She just knew it. But she also thought he might understand.
