Clearing Heads

by **Molly McFly** » Thu Oct 01, 2015 8:20 pm

Molly had to get off of campus. Crazy things happened there!

She walked around Maldon's downtown, aimlessly looking in some stores.

((open))

Jez stepped out of one of the quaint stores and onto the sidewalk, carrying a roll of vibrant red fabric. The store was named Just Fabrics, appropriately enough. She leaned against the exterior wall, scrolling through her phone in search of something.

"Hrm? Don't I know you from the university" Molly asked, seeing a familiar face.

by **Jezabelle Sherlock** » Thu Oct 08, 2015 11:33 pm

Jez looked up from her phone and did a double take, tilting her head slightly. The girl did look oddly familiar.

"I suppose it depends on the school." She made a little "X" with her fingers.

"What, do we need a secret code now?"

by **Jezabelle Sherlock** » Fri Oct 09, 2015 1:06 am

"I've seen what British gangs are like in movies, I wasn't about to risk it."

by **Molly McFly** » Fri Oct 09, 2015 1:28 am

"What, you think I was going to beat you up? Little ol' me?"

by **Jezabelle Sherlock** » Fri Oct 09, 2015 1:36 am

"Noooooooo. But I didn't want us to get jumped or something." Jez clarified while adjusting the roll of fabric under her arm.

by **Molly McFly** » Fri Oct 09, 2015 2:41 am

"No one's going to jump us. That's something you see in the movies."

by **Jezabelle Sherlock** » Fri Oct 09, 2015 2:51 am

"Exactly! Just like in movies set in Britain, that's what I'm saying."

Jez shrugged. "Sorry, I guess it's kind of drilled into my head that where I'm from, everyone else will want to come after you if they find out, so you have to stay there where it's safe to be you."

by **Molly McFly** » Fri Oct 09, 2015 3:13 am

"That doesn't really happen."

by **Jezabelle Sherlock** » Fri Oct 09, 2015 3:21 am

"Well it doesn't hurt to be prepared, just in case. Especially for us girls."

by **Molly McFly** » Fri Oct 09, 2015 3:25 am

"And, to be prepared, we have to learn a secret hand-jive code?"

by **Jezabelle Sherlock** » Fri Oct 09, 2015 3:41 am

"Well, yeah. Like how your girls get you out of a conversation when some shady guy is talking to you at a bar."

by **Molly McFly** » Fri Oct 09, 2015 3:43 am

"I've...never really had that."

by **Jezabelle Sherlock** » Fri Oct 09, 2015 10:04 pm

"Oh, well it will happen. Especially at a bar guys know college girls go to."

by **Molly McFly** » Fri Oct 09, 2015 10:42 pm

"Is that why you're here? To go to a bar?"

by **Jezabelle Sherlock** » Fri Oct 09, 2015 11:16 pm

"Naw, I'm getting stuff for Halloween. What about you?"

by **Molly McFly** » Fri Oct 09, 2015 11:32 pm

"I just...needed to get off of campus for a while. It's..." she floundered.

"It's been strange."

by **Jezabelle Sherlock** » Sat Oct 10, 2015 12:26 am

"A bit too much to take in all at once?" Jez offered a little smile. "You wanna maybe get a coffee and talk about it?"

by **Molly McFly** » Sat Oct 10, 2015 2:05 am

"I mean, sure, I guess I have time to do that."

Smooth, Molly.

by **Jezabelle Sherlock** » Sat Oct 10, 2015 2:30 am

"Alright, cool. I think there's a place just down the street. At least I've seen a lot of people walking near it with cups in their hands." Jez started to lead the way, turning back to make sure that Molly was following her.

"My name's Jezabelle, by-the-way."

by **Molly McFly** » Sat Oct 10, 2015 2:57 am

"I'm Molly. Molly McFly."

by **Jezabelle Sherlock** » Sat Oct 10, 2015 3:40 am

"Oh wow, I didn't know that was a real last name. I thought that was just from Back to the Future! Well it's nice to meet you Molly."

Jez tapped on her phone a few times before looking fairly satisfied.

"There's a place called the Continental Cafe that's just a three minutes walk from here. It has pretty good reviews too. Hopefully it won't be too busy."

by **Molly McFly** » Sat Oct 10, 2015 3:42 am

"It's...good to meet you, too," she said, her eye twitching a little bit at the movie reference.

"I don't anything could be 'too busy' in Maldon."

by **Jezabelle Sherlock** » Sat Oct 10, 2015 3:48 am

Jez noticed the slight hesitation and gave Molly a sympathetic smile.

"Hey, if it makes you feel any better, my last name's Sherlock. So if you think you've heard some stale jokes in your lifetime, you're in good company."

by **Molly McFly** » Sat Oct 10, 2015 4:54 am

"Oh, good lord. I bet you get it all the time. 'Where's your stupid hat'?"

by **Jezabelle Sherlock** » Sat Oct 10, 2015 8:25 pm

"I know, right? Everyone thinks they're the first to say 'no shit, Sherlock' to me." Jez laughed to herself for a moment. "If I didn't already have something in mind, I'd say we should dress as our names for Halloween and then just glare at everyone all night."

The coffee shop was one of three stores operating out of an old stone-and-mortar building, occupying a corner that gave it a bit more sunlight than the jewelry store nearby, and a nice view of the church across the street. She held the door open for Molly.

by **Molly McFly** » Sun Oct 11, 2015 1:54 am

"Oh, what are you going as for Halloween, then?"

by **Jezabelle Sherlock** » Sun Oct 11, 2015 2:17 am

"Well it depends on whether or not I get it done in time. If not I'll just dress up like some creepy little twins."

by **Molly McFly** » Sun Oct 11, 2015 2:23 am

"Oh, with who?"

by **Jezabelle Sherlock** » Sun Oct 11, 2015 4:58 am

"Oh, just me and me." Jez was distracted by some writing on a chalkboard. "Oh, they make their own cakes here!"

by **Molly McFly** » Sun Oct 11, 2015 5:10 am

"Something like that one star trek episode, then? With the face split down the middle?"

by **Jezabelle Sherlock** » Sun Oct 11, 2015 5:20 am

"Nah, more like the one with the Tribbles."

by **Molly McFly** » Sun Oct 11, 2015 5:50 am

"...OK, I don't get it."

by **Jezabelle Sherlock** » Mon Oct 12, 2015 12:26 am

"Tribbles multiply, silly."

by **Molly McFly** » Mon Oct 12, 2015 5:10 am

"...OH! That's your thing, then?"

by **Jezabelle Sherlock** » Mon Oct 12, 2015 6:55 am

Jez nodded. "Mhhm! Means I only need to make one costume too."

by **Molly McFly** » Mon Oct 12, 2015 7:19 pm

"That's...convenient, if confusing."

by **Jezabelle Sherlock** » Mon Oct 12, 2015 11:46 pm

"Ah, you get used to it." Jez took a seat at one of the little corner tables with a view of the street, propping her roll of fabric up against the wall before looking over the menu.

"So what is it that you do?"
