Fandom Trooper Station, Wednesday

[hatesparadise]

Danny was finishing up his report, blissfully unaware of the existence of radio. Because that was a weird thing, guys. It was weird to get told what everyone in town was doing every day. You weird, weird, cult town.

"Rise and shine, babe," Danny called, kindly depositing a coffee at Crocker's cell. Because he wasn't here to torture people. Much. Look, only within the legally allowed bounds.

Because, you know what? Today was a good day.

The Troopers? They had huddled up with popcorn at the ready for when this popped off, though. So, there was that.

[you gotta know it's open!]

Talk to Danny

[hatesparadise]

Or yell? It might be yelling.

Re: Talk to Danny

[firstofitskind]

Oh you'd best believe Liam wanted to talk to Danny, all right. He had heard radio, you see, and that had been a lot of exclamation marks.

"Detective." Arms crossed, looming over Danny's desk, trademark scowl even scowl-ier than usual.

Re: Talk to Danny

[hatesparadise]

"Sir," Danny replied blandly. Because if you think this was intimidating, you'd clearly never had to deal with idiots trying to dangle suspects over the side of buildings because 'it was expedient'.

Re: Talk to Danny

[firstofitskind]

Oh, no, this wasn't his 'trying to be intimidating' scowl. This was his 'I'm disappointed in you' scowl.

(Liam was... usually the one dangling people over buildings. Or almost out a spaceship's airlock. He and Steve would probably get along just fine.)

"Heard you arrested someone yesterday."

Look. Rosa and all her SP was just coming in to get something she'd left in her desk on Monday, and she was so dedicated to her ability to completely blow off her coworkers that she breezed in, went to her desk, found what she was looking for, and didn't even notice anything until the drawer was closed.

And then she noticed. Oh, did she notice.

She looked at Williams, then back to the cell, and then back to Williams again, and lifted her brows as she found herself wedged between the desire to not get involved and the desperate curiosity that needed to know.

But there went her hopes that Williams was just an expert-level slacker and not a try-hard go-getter. Damn.

"You don't waste time," she finally said, "do you?"

Re: Talk to Danny

[hatesparadise]

Look, it helped him pass the time! Slacking passed no time.

"Just doin' my job here," Danny replied, tilting his chin up in a challenge. Oh, all that Jersey rage.

Re: Talk to Danny

[died8yearsago]

Sounds like someone just didn't know how to slack.

But someone did, apparently, know how to overcompensate.

(She guessed. Rosa was no psychiatrist, although she did consider it for half a semester).

One brow dropped while the other remained quirked.

"What are the charges?" she asked. "Last I checked, you can't arrest someone just for being an asshole."

That last part was only said outloud because she knew Crocker was probably in earshot. And she was physically incapable of not sounding just a touch disappointed when she said it, too.

Octavia chose yelling. Obviously.

"What the hell is going on?"

She was not wearing war paint, but she might as well have been, for the way she stomped in, all black leather and a sword strapped to her back.

Re: Talk to Danny

[hatesparadise]

"Want to be more specific, ma'am?" he asked, eyeing the sword for a moment.

Re: Talk to Danny

[okteiviakom]

"Where is he?"

Octavia wasn't going to waste time checkinh whether he was Danny. She knew everyone else that worked here.

It was a weird, weird cult town! Nina couldn't even argue with that!

She was still going to beeline in after radio (and, okay, after taking the time to make sure her hair was just perfect) because, like, apparently indignation was the motivator she'd needed to stop sulking and leave her room.

"You arrested Duke????????????????????????????" she protested, all teenaged perplexity at this.

Okay, the punctuation wasn't the normal teenage thing. That was just Nina.

Re: Talk to Danny

[hatesparadise]

Well, Danny did appreciate well styled hair, so there was that.

"What the hell?" If that was what he had to look forward to with teenage Grace... he might invest in some ear plugs?

Re: Talk to Danny

[bookbeltof_love]

And she wasn't even yelling!

"That's what I wanted to know??????????????????" she said, all big injured eyes. "Like, it's all over radio!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Because of her, Danny. Because of her.

Re: Talk to Danny

[outofherdepths]

After presumably multiple people had explained to Larceny where Duke was, she had practically flown to the station to protest his innocence.

"NO!"

Okay so protesting was a bit more than she was capable of right now. But yelling? Absolutely.

Was she gonna have to fight someone? Because she was ready to fight someone.

Re: Talk to Danny

[hatesparadise]

That would probably be a bad idea, Larceny.

"He's being released," Danny said, not even looking up from his paperwork.

Re: Talk to Danny

[outofherdepths]

Pffft. You didn't know how strong she was. Or how very good at punching!

"You cannot send him away!" she said, because she had been 'released' to. To Baltimore, to live in the aquarium. "He did not steal anything!"

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeell... Not that she was aware of anyway.

Jail Cells

[hatesparadise]

Where Duke was. But was he playing a harmonica sadly? Because that'd be neat if he was.

Re: Jail Cells

[betterthanaplan]

He was not. He had no harmonica, alas. He was attempting to meditate, though it wasn’t going too well.

Oddly enough, being locked up made him twitchy.

Re: Jail Cells

[hatesparadise]

"Coffee," Danny said again. Because that was wasting perfectly good coffee, Duke.

Re: Jail Cells

[firstofitskind]

“I see you’ve met the Station’s newest Detective,” Liam said with a sigh as he made his way over to the cells.

Re: Jail Cells

[bookbeltof_love]

Nina sidled on over to the cell.

"Like," she said conversationally, "I'm pretty sure I could break out of this??????????????"

Nina. Nina, no.

Re: Jail Cells

[okteiviakom]

Somehow, Octavia had managed not to get herself arrested, too. And that meant that eventually, she rushed the bars the same she had in Haven.

When she'd been the one on the worse side of them.

"Jaka."

Re: Jail Cells

[outofherdepths]

"Duke!" Larceny said, giving him big, sad eyes from the other side of the jail. "Duke, I am sorry! This is bad, you did not steal anything! Are they going to send you away? I will find you and bring you back and hide you on the boat!"

And maybe mind-wipe everyone so that no one knew that you weren't supposed to be on the island.

Re: Jail Cells

[betterthanaplan]

"No one's sending me away," Duke assured her, giving her a slightly wobbly smile. He wanted to be mad at her. He really did. But she looked so upset! "Detective Williams just has a giant stick up his ass."

A beat.

"Not literally."
