★ [Action || Video] Tell Me Something That'll Save Me

[Lucy is sitting on a bench by the fountain. She's got a cup of coffee and a fashion magazine with her. She's idly flipping through it, dog earring certain pages and then moving on. She appears to be waiting for something.]

So I know it's a long shot 'cause really who wants to leave Birmingham or come back to this place. Doesn't stop a girl from hoping.

And now I just sound patheta-sad.

[ooc: Fourth wall is a go. She'll welcome visits from anyone]

Only where The Boys are concerned. I want it to be as much like home during football season as possible.

[Lucy doesn't mind either and really they're close enough to the apartment that it doesn't matter. Lucy fishes her keys out of her designer bag and unlocks the door.]

It's two bedrooms so we can set one up for you. [She'll just pretend that Jilly gets to stay. At least for now.]

Oh I can even sleep on a couch or a floor. You know me.

[A bed that's her own is new to her in their apartment back in Alabama. And yes, she fully intends to stay, even if the City makes her disappear in a few days.]

So what is there to do here -- besides flirt with boys?

Psh I've got the extra room. It should totally be yours. [The two story flat starts on the first floor so a short walk down the hall and she's unlocking an apartment door. There's a big booming bark at the door.]

Bryant, get back.

[She opens the door to a giant black and white Newfoundland. There's a cat sitting on the back of a white couch. The entire apartment is done in black, red and white.]

Come on in. Nightclubs, a racetrack, shopping, the beach and the curses are...sometimes okay and sometimes incredibly sucktastic.

[Jill's eyes grow wide at the sight of the large dog. The apartment looks very homey and very Lucy. She isn't surprised, Lucy could make anything her own. But furthermore, it was proof that Lucy actually did live here.]

Curses? That doesn't sound any kind of okay. This is a nice place.

[Lucy really isn't sure why she got a giant dog. Especially since he's a huge weenie--the cat is more protection than the dog. Not to mention the cricket bat she sleeps with.

The place didn't always look homey. It used to be more HGTV but over time, Lucy brought things in and settled in. Although Harry did toss the pink blanket she bought. It just didn't go with the decor.]

Sometimes they can be fun? The City was like Venice on Valentines this year. We rowed everywhere in boats. I tasted like ice cream one weekend. I stood on the street corner and let everyone come lick me. All the boys smelled extra awesome one day. That's when Harry and I first bow chicka bow wowed in the library. 'Cause he smelled so good.

Thank you! I can't really take credit. It's Harry's and now mine.

[How the City could suddenly look like Venice is beyond Jill at the moment, but she begins looking through the apartment going room to room as she had when they'd been looking for their apartment in Tuscaloosa. When she spoke she called out to Lucy.]

Is he the only one you've bow-chicka-bow-wow'd with?

[Lucy follows at a distance, giving Jill the space to check things out]

Nope. There have been a few. He was the only one for a few months though. [Which is a bit telling in and of itself. Lucy actually fell in love with the Master. Not that she'd told him but the whole faithful thing kind of did.]

[Jill knew what that meant and she paused, looking back to her friend knowingly.]

A few months is special.

[Lucy shrugs at that, trailing her hand along the stair railing.]

He left. He was good to me though and he--I got in trouble in the Underground. He let me stay here and I just...stayed. He was fun and he cared.

[She bites her bottom lip and looks up at Jill] I think I loved him, Jillybean.

[jill doesn't say anything. She just moves back down the few steps it takes to get to Lucy. Wrapping her arms around her, she pulls her close. It's rare that Lucy gets so emotionally attached to a guy so she knows this one must have been something special.]

Did he love you too?

[Lucy just snuggles up to Jill. It's been so long since she had Jill to comfort her. She's fairly teary by the time she finally tries to talk]

I think so. he was way indulgent.

[With as many times as Lucy has done this for her, Jill really is glad when she gets a chance to comfort Lucy in return.]

I wish he were here then. And I wish you more indulgent guys who treat you well.

[Lucy bites her bottom lip and kind of half shrugs.]

I wish he were here too. I sorta think maybe he was evil. Not to me. He was awesomesauce to me, but to other people...possibly evil.

Evil is relative.

[Jill had seen evil her whole life. She had loved evil, even. It was conflicting. And she could understand loving despite of things.]

Hey, we should totally veg on the couch with chocolate and watch the boys last season on DVD. You said you had it, right?

Vegging and watching the boys sounds like awesomesauce. [And then an impulsive hug.] I'm so glad you're here Jillybean

I'm glad I'm here too. We have to raid your pantry for good food. I know you have to have some.

Are you kidding? We'll cook something divine. I bought a deep fryer a few months ago. We could deep fry twinkies.

I haven't had a deep fried twinkie since the fair last fall. Do you remember the first time we went to a fair when your parents took us and I was scared of the deep fried twinkie.

[Of course Jill was scared of a lot of things until Lucy made her confront them.]

I think I made myself sick eating twinkies just to get you to eat one. The deep fried twinkies are amazing.

To be fair pretty much anything deep fried is amazing. You taught me that.

One of those facts of life like the sky is blue. [She gets the deep fryer out from under the sink along with a large bottle of peanut oil. The oil gets poured in the deep fryer and it gets turned on.]

So tell me what we've been doing at home. Is it all awesome?

Oh, the same. It's awesome, I guess. You tried to set me up with some guy who you thought was into classical music but he ended up just being interested in you. He thought he was impressing you. It was pretty funny.

Dumb guy. Clearly he missed the best boat in town.

His nose was big.

[Jill isn't shallow. That was for you Lucy, to make you smile.]

[Lucy is aware of this but it does make her smile. She gives a fake, obvious wince and then nods vigorously]

You have to think of the children. You wouldn't want them stuck with a nose like that.
