Cecily Ashworth
Classic Building 3C
Interacting With: [@Nallore][hr][color=cyan]"Long night?"[/color]

Cecily jumped a bit, immediately scrambling for her cell phone. Realizing that it was her roommate and not the medical examiner calling for her, Cecily relaxed a bit, giggling. She looked like crap, and she knew it. Justice, despite its ironic name, had more crime than she could ever imagine. Having only a double homicide to attend to was a slow night -- last night, if Cecily could remember correctly, she had to deal with evidence from three separate murder cases and four robberies. 

Just an average night in Justice.

[color=#00ccff]"Yeah... You could say so." [/color] Cecily grinned, sitting up on the couch. [color=#00ccff]"Sorry if I got in your way--I was on call until... a few hours ago, I think. Dobbs was on vacation, so it was just me. So great, right?"[/color]

Her eyes fell on the bag of food, and her stomach grumbled. Instantly, her cheeks flushed a bright red--as much as she'd talk smack about McDonalds and other fast food places, she did love their food. [color=cyan]"I wasn't sure if you were hungry or not, but I went and got you some breakfast."[/color]

Cecily's stomach grumbled again.[color=#00ccff]"God, you're the best. Can I pay you back? I think I have cash...somewhere...in here," [/color] she muttered, fishing through her wallet for whatever bills she could find. Grabbing a few fives and a few ones, she offered them to her roommate, hoping she'd oblige. She hated feeling like she was mooching off of other people.

[color=cyan]"Excited for tonight?" [/color]Riley asked, before noticing the slight dark circles under Cecily's eyes.[color=cyan]"Sorry if I woke you by the way i'll be quiet."[/color]

Cecily shook her head, her caramel curls quickly getting (somehow) stuck in her mouth. Awkwardly brushing her hair aside, Cecily forced herself off of the couch, following her roommate into the kitchen. [color=#00ccff]"Nah, you're good. I was about to wake up anyways."[/color] Cecily couldn't help but smile. 

[color=#00ccff]"Though the block party... That'll be weird, huh? People down at the lab were talking about it--some girl killed herself at the last one... Think that'll happen tonight?"[/color] Cecily joked, ever smiling. She couldn't help but be a tad bit morbid -- it was in her job description. 

Fetching herself some water, Cecily sat down at the counter, gratefully biting into the food Riley fetched for her. She could hear the music outside gradually growing louder, and she couldn't help but reflect on how amazing it was to have a rockstar for a roommate.

[color=#00ccff]"Maybe you should see if they'd let you perform, hm?"[/color] Cecily pondered, throwing a glance outside the window. A small curl of smoke rose towards the sky, with the sun beating down on them. She couldn't help but ponder if this was exactly how it had looked last time -- back when the girl was found dead. 

Would something happen tonight?

[i]Stop being so goddamn paranoid[/i], Cecily admonished herself. [i]Not everything has to do with murder.[/i]
