a crime's been committed — private - OLLIE. - 04-14-2020
[align=center][div style="width: 500px; text-align: justify; line-height: 150%; color: #494949; font-family: karla; font-size: 9pt; letter-spacing: 0.2px; word-spacing: 1px; margin-top: 10px;"]eli is settling into flintlock nicely. he and eddie is back on good terms , and memphis ain't hovering his ass as much anymore. his only issue is finding his place. no longer is he the arbitrator of his own fate, instead, he works under the leadership of his best friend. hurt the ego, really. but he was willing to suck it up for a chance of normalcy and if it meant getting to hang around his new lady friend. because of that, foraging sounded nice.
as a small group of six wander outside eli's borders, eli is only pondering on how the get he and joey alone. he's all for the sneaking glances, the small smirks, but there comes a time where not even that is enough. as they arrived at their remote destination— a relatively decent sized neighbor town a couple'a miles from flintlock, also something eli recognizes as one of he and mems stops on their way to flint, he gets to work. he falls into step next to joey, attempting to notch up his charm in the process. "so, you havin' fun?" he asks.
elijah, counteractive to memphis, had never been a shy person. when he wanted something or in this case someone, he wasn't afraid to go after it or she. he'd even go as far as to say it was one of his best qualities. though the unfortunate souls who dealt with it would disagree. as they enter one of the houses, he's quiet for a minute, every drawer and cabinent checked leaving him empty. not to say he's surprised. the last time he'd been here he and his brother nearly fell victim to a bunch of thugs ransacking this place. he'd be shocked if they were to find anything at all. he found himself still on edge because of that. "so, ah." he joins her where she is surfing through the cabinents he left untouched, leaning against the counter in the process. he's relatively close. "any luck?"

[align=center][div style="width: 350px; text-align: justify; font-size: 10px; font-family: calibri; letter-spacing: .6px; color: #494949;"]there seemed to have been a surge of new people coming to flintlock around the same time as the van doren’s arrived. joey’s has a good time with meeting so many new people, starting more than one flame. luckily, the blonde has become excellent at tending, and juggling, all of them. the work that’s come with it isn’t her favorite, but she’s adjusting. going foraging with people helps, much like they’re out doing today. elijah’s in the group which means some definite flirting would ensue, she’s excited for it. since getting drunk the one night, he’s been one of her biggest interests, maybe endeavors would be a better word due to her aversion to any type of actual feelings or commitment; she loves and thrives in the attention and would continue to play the game so she can get her fix.
when eli asks her if she’s having a good time, her eyebrows raise just a tad while she makes eye contact with him her gaze lingers for a moment before looking to her other side with a shrug of her shoulders, “could be better,” joey replies, checking him out as she does so before continuing with the group. she figures they’ll at least have some moment alone to flirt and see whatever else happens.
they seem to be on the same page because both joey and eli pick the same house to split off into. she rolls up one or the balls of her feet to get a better look in the overhead cabinets, taking her time as she feels eli get closer to her. pursing her lips, she shakes her head, she found nothing and she’s assuming he hasn’t either. joey turns to face him, resting her weight to the side, waist against the counter. “[color=#990000]looks like it’s just us,” she mentions, a faint smirk pulling at the left side of her lips. the tension the two seem to instantly create is almost like a drug to joey, she wants to keep pushing and pushing it until the next step seems inevitable. she moves a bit closer to him, eyes shifting from his eyes to his lips; she’s aware this probably isn’t the place, but the rush.

"what a shame." reaching up, eli lightly grabs her chin with firm fingers, advancing closer until their bodies and lips are just an inch away and then. he stops abruptly, turns away. he knows what she wants, what she expects. and although she got him on his toes, he hasn't tripped just yet— two can play at that game.
"suppose we can look upstairs." he wasn't favorable about that idea. he and mems nearly died that way. still, checking upstairs was almost a given. he didn't want to show joey that being in this place struck a nerve, decidedly put on a brave face. instead, to save face, he deflects it onto her. "don't gotta worry," he pulls his pistol from his waistband, holds it up towards joey. "i can protect us." without another word he heads upstairs, holding that undiscussed caution with him.
once he reaches the top , he quietly stalks around the corner towards the first room, reaching it out his hand towards joey. "hold up. i think i heard somethin'." he crouches, slowly advancing closer to the first open room. then, holding up his gun he looks around with a gruff demand to, "stop there!" to an invisible person in the room. he glances to a plausibly panicked joey, before breaking out into a childish grin. "we good." he says. "but see? I got us- wait look out!" he holds up his gun, pointing it to yet another invisible force behind her but quickly his hand, beginning to sift through things around the room. "ion know how much we gon' find in a child's room."
he kicks at a toy train, sitting on the bunk bed with an exasperated sigh. "i doubt we gonna find anything really. bet you this place has been ransacked enough."

[align=center][div style="width: 350px; text-align: justify; font-size: 10px; font-family: calibri; letter-spacing: .6px; color: #494949;"]once he looks at her lips, joey’s sure she has him, her smirk starting to look a lot more smug, as if she’s just won a trophy, feeling quite good about herself and her skill set. this is her role within the van doren family, the seductress; sure, they may not have much of a reason to have a seductress anymore considering they aren’t actively stealing, smuggling, or blackmailing, but she’s never been one to exactly follow the plan. she inches closer to him as well when he grabs her chin, eyes flickering to a close, then, eli’s gone. what!? she swallows hard, clenching her jaw with a huff, her eyebrows are somewhat scrunched in a form of confusion and some embarrassment. she straightens herself out, pushing off of the counter to drudgingly follow after him as he suggests checking upstairs. joey has to take a deep breath to calm herself down so her attitude doesn’t take a left turn into nasty.
“maybe there’s something...” she trails as she glances over her shoulder to check their backs and to see if anyone else came into the house to loot. by the time she looks back at elijah, he’s got a pistol out, saying “i can protect us,” a nice sentiment, but joey isn’t one who needs protecting, however she knows making men feel like heroes usually works in one’s favor. “[color=#990000]i feel safe with you anyway,” joey comments, shrugging as she follows him upstairs, almost in a blind faith way. she’s not paying too much attention, running into his hand he uses to stop her. instinctively, she reaches to hold his hand against her abdomen. mentioning that he hears something, joey goes silent, reaching for the knife in her waistband, making a face at eli as he confronts the person, is he dumb? giving up the element of surprise? but she slips in right after him, the knife drawn, only to see no one and eli grinning at her. joey lets out a breath, shaking her head, “[color=#990000]haha, very funny,” she rolls her eyes, going to put her knife away and smiling slightly to herself and shaking her head.
joey raises a brow at him as he points the gun in her direction, then winks quickly before going to look alongside him, going to a chest near the door, leaning down, and opening it. it’s been all but cleared out, only a couple wooden blocks left, making joey sigh and slowly close its lid. she looks over to him and nods, “[color=#990000]i don’t think there’s much left anywhere for anyone to find,” she comments in agreement, hands pressing on her knees as she gets up. joey sees her chance, that mischievous smirk coming onto her face as she begins slinking over towards eli, batting her eyelashes a couple times. when she’s in front of him, she sits on his lap, facing him, and putting her hands over his own.
just at that moment, joey hears the faint sound of a door creak, distinctly the same sound when the two had gotten to the house. she’s caught off guard, confused on why is sounds so quiet and sneaky. “[color=#990000]d-did you hear that?” she whispers, quietly getting off of him and hand going over her weapon, glancing between elijah and the door.

the makes her way over to him, settling down comfortably into his lap. she fits perfectly. as if she belongs there. his tongue swipes across his bottom lip, readily caving into the tension as his face inches carefully to hers when a barely audible creek at the door causing him to pause with joey simultaneously just as she asked the fateful question.
"i don't know," he mumurs, carefully prodding at her to get up as he retrieved the gun slowly from his waistband. flashbacks of the previous encounters here clouds his judgement, the concern lacing joey's mind only adding to the wariness that he already feels. "c'mon." he wouldn't tuck his tail between his legs this time, submit like a bitch with his tail between his legs. instead, he could be a savior. his, but most important, joey's.
grabbing her hand, he slowly inches towards the door and inches across the bedroom where the noise was coming from. they're halfway there when he drops joey's hand, questionably worried about what she'd think about his hands sweating from the nerves he obviously induced. it's then that the bandit evolves from the shadows from around the corner, gun in hand does elijah pull the trigger. he doesn't even think twice. but then again, he never has been proven to. three rounds.
her knees buckle from under her and she falls face first , not a single word. it's eerily silent as elijah looks at joey, wide-eyed and incredulous as he slowly makes his way over towards the body. something tells him before he's voiced it— he fucked up. only when he turns the body over, however, is it confirmed: this isn't a bandit, but one of their own.
Re: a crime's been committed — private - JOSEPHINE - 06-07-2020
[align=center][div style="width: 400px; text-align: justify; font-size: 12px; font-family: calibri; letter-spacing: .6px; color: #494949;"]she’d more been spooked by the idea of being caught and the weapons were simply to be more safe than sorry. she goes to creep around to sneak besides eli, but him grabbing her hand throws her off some. her first instinct is to yank it away, focus at the possible threat in front of them. her eyebrows furrow and her body pulls back. joey manages to leave her hand in his and stay behind.
within a few seconds, her hand is finally freed and joey feels much more comfortable. the thing that made the noise turns the corner and the tension in her body. it’s a woman that she faintly recognizes but before she’s able to greet her, three loud pops ring out. joey flinches, arms raising in front of her in a bad attempt to protect herself from bullets. she isn’t sure what the fuck just happened. there’s a moment of eerie silence before she slowly lowers her hands to see the aftermath. elijah shot another flintlocker three times, nearly point blank. her jaw hangs open some in sheer disbelief, a hand going up to her head as it shakes and she looks to eli. “ fucking hell, elijah, “ she hisses, moving to get a better look at the situation. “ [color=#990000]how are we going to explain this? why did you... “ she trails, looking to him with big eyes.
“ [color=#990000]you have to eddie, explain it’s an accident, “ she rambles some, already trying to shift the blame as she usually does. she looks at the woman again then quickly glances away. “ [color=#990000]fuck “ she curses “ [color=#990000]you’re going to be in so much fucking trouble, eli, “ she shakes her head at him before crossing her arms. joey goes to step over the body and start heading back to try and tell someone what just happened. no way in fucking hell she’s going to go down for this. the lodge has been a surprisingly good place for her and a man is not going to fuck it up for her. she’d at least say it was a misunderstanding to try to help a little, but this isn’t adding to her body count.

elijah stood there, feet planted. eyes wide. in his head, he knows he should move. dispose of the evidence, but his feet wouldn't correspond. joey becomes a noise, muted in the background as he reflects on the consequences; okay, he killed a flintlocker. if anyone, especially eddie found out, he knew he'd be a goner. the friendship let managed to mend? gone for. done. he'd and memphis would be sent away, forced to be travel aimlessly once more. whose to say if they was gon' make it? they were barely hanging by a thread before they stumbled across eddie. they really ain't have anywhere else to go.
"you're gonna be in so much, trouble, eli," her words register as he manages to drag himself from his thoughts. "no shit," he snapped, shooting daggers at her briefly as he runs his hands through his hair. he wasn't going to let it happen, though. if no one found out, he wouldn't have to suffer the consequences. he was already ran from the city, no way was he could not face the idea of being kicked out in the cold once more; not when he was just getting comfortable. not when he was just finding his place.
"here, help me out." elijah walks quickly over towards the body, leaning down to grab the woman's legs. when he lifts his head, he expects to see joey beside him; but no, she's walking away. "hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?" panic rises in his chest as he hurries over to place himself in front of joey and the stairway. he lifts his hands— hesitating— before placing them curtly on her arms. "we can't tell anyone. please. don't you get it? this ain't only gonna fall on me. it'll fall on you, too," he doubts it. she wasn't the one who pulled the trigger. but who, other than them, was there to decide it? elijah wasn't gonna admit to it, that's for sure.
amidst his desperation, his hold on her is rather rough. he loosens that grip, eyes softening slightly as he does so. "we hide the body, and no one can say what happened. she could have... runoff or..." he shrugs, gesturing with a hand as it'd prove his point. [color=#54697a]"just please, joey."

[align=center][div style="width: 400px; text-align: justify; font-size: 12px; font-family: calibri; color: #494949;"]joey glances at him as he goes to pick up the body and she has to look away. this isn’t her first, or even fifth, rodeo with a corpse, but something about this being an innocent girl who just happened to be at the wrong place at, kind of, the wrong place. her jaw is clenched tightly and her head shakes, she’s wishing the image away, bury it deep within her head. she also feels a bit guilty, understandably, but there’s something about seeing someone who’s meant to be an ally crumbled on the ground; it feels wrong to remember her like this, even though she doesn’t even know her name. it feels so wrong, especially to hide the fucking body. she figures it’s the very, very least they could do; after all, it was an accident... right? she feels her cold and collected outer shell fall with her feelings, but josephine notices and forces out a scoff in response to elijah asking, telling actually, her to help him.
she nearly runs smack into eli before she can even register he’s blocking her way. her eyebrows scrunch together and she gives him a little shake of her head as if to ask what he’s doing. she tries to push past him, but the grip on her arms surprises her, “ what the fuck, “ she snaps, trying to yank her limb away from him “ [color=#990000]if you don’t let go of me... “ joey says through tightly clenched teeth. she’s got a full on glare at this point, is he seriously threatening her? joey’s head tilts, “ [color=#990000]i didn’t make you pull the trigger, “ she reminds him, pulling against his grip once more, “ [color=#990000]i didn’t even tell you to, this is on you. “ she emphasizes.
finally, she thinks she’s getting somewhere with him. they don’t have to do anything shady, just tell edmund and take whatever thing would come his way. her glare resides slowly after he lets go of her a bit, but he’s just suggesting that they hide the body. well shit that’s a 180, not what she wanted or anticipated. her mouth opens in a bit of shock, eyes narrowed as she shakes her head quickly, “ [color=#990000]i’m not helping you! i was going to vouch for you, but fuck that, let me go, “ she hisses the last part, finally freeing her arms and trying to slip in between elijah and the doorframe. “ [color=#990000]hey! somebody! “ joey yells down the stairs, hoping to grab the attention of somebody in the group that they had came with.

not even minutes earlier, the tension had been unlike something elijah was able to experience in a long time; sensual, exciting. but that's dissipated in nothing little than an instant, instead replaced by brutish and horrified. it wouldn't be the first time he's seen it. he fucked up sometimes, but he couldn't help it. it was just how he was. he thought that joey could understand that. especially because, from the rumors he'd overheard, her family was not much different than his.
"I get that, but I was fucking protecting us, joey!" he retorted. she got that, right? that could have been anyone. what was this chick doin' sneaking around anyway? she knew that she wasn't the only one in the group here, there was no need to be so cautious! it was almost like she was asking for it, if anything, and joey had to get that. she didn't make him pull the trigger, but ultimately, it was within his best interest to her.
apparently she ain't, though. she's screaming for help as if he's the bad guy. maybe it appeared that way, sure, but had she not registered what he said at all? wrapping his arms around her, he quickly reaches up a hand to clamp it over her mouth. they're close now. it's funny. the last time he thought he'd be closing in on her it'd be to kiss her, not to once again plead a reason as to why he deserved her help. like he ever felt he had to explain that in the first place. "listen," he sighs, removing himself from her after a heartbeat. his shoulders sag, eyes drifting to the floor looking almost defeated. "eddie is not goin' to forgive me for this. it doesn't matter if it was by accident. and if I get kicked out," he glances up at her. "mems will be sent with me. he's been tired n' all, sad about his fiancé and shit. i don't wanna do that to him."

[align=center][div style="width: 400px; text-align: justify; font-size: 12px; font-family: calibri; letter-spacing: .6px; color: #494949;"]seeing a petite, blonde woman usually makes people feel like joey is helpless. she hates it. she’s just fine on her own, she always has been. on top of that, she’s learned how to prove that she can hold her own, that she can protect herself. sure, there are times when she plays the damsel in distress to feed into whatever hero complex and ego some guy has, but only to get something she wants. and, when they’re underestimating her, it gives her a leg up. they’re unsuspecting and it makes their disbelief that joey’s been three steps ahead the entire time even better. but this? murder of a woman on ‘behalf’ of her? no. absolutely not. she stares at eli, face scrunched up and lips pulled tightly, shaking her head in disgust, “ i don’t, and will never, need your protection! “ she says, the palm of her hand going to her forehead.
her choice to leave is her trying to take control of the narrative. they got spooked and he got trigger happy; not too far off from the truth, but coming clean as soon as possible would make it more understandable. everything happened so fast, which it did, and there wasn’t anything she could do, which there wasn’t, then he tried to make her dispose of the body, which is also true, but she would’ve probably embellished it some to save her own ass. he had to understand her spot. but, just as joey gets through the doorway, eli grabs her, “ [color=#990000]what the- “ she squeals, struggling against him. his hand covers her mouth which only makes her fight harder, biting at his hand until she’s freed. she looks at elijah, eyes narrowed and eyebrows furrowed. “ [color=#990000]are you going to kidnap me now?! “ she yells before he can even try explaining himself.
“ [color=#990000]you’re his best friend, you’ll be fine, “ joey claps back after he tries to say eddie will send him away. “ [color=#990000]he’ll have me killed, elijah! “ she shakes her head, looking for an escape again.... until he mentions his brother. she’s grown to think of mems as a good friend to her, someone rather mature and level headed who she enjoyed spending time with. she hasn’t exactly found many of those since coming to flintlock, or really any beyond her family if she’s really honest. most others simply want to spend a night with her. fuck. she lets out a distressed breath, “ [color=#990000]fine, “ she gives in, jaw clenching, “ [color=#990000]i’m doing it for mems, “ joey states, “ [color=#990000]not you. “ she adds bluntly. she already regrets it.
“ [color=#990000]we can’t just carry her out, the group can’t be that far away, “
