001. happy halloween

[ ever wonder if Gaby's capable of having some fun? tonight, depending on someone's point of view, they might get their information. she shows up to the safehouse with a crate full of growlers in a costume, as well as a tote bag full of candy.

oh, and her costume? she's dressed up as Jazlyn Salazar's most recent role: Athena, a troubled former goddess who acts as a strategist for the United Nations to keep the peace – only she comes to question whether they have peace in mind. Jazlyn Salazar is one of the biggest celebrities in the world: she's the Tom Cruise of this world. she acts, directs, produces and controls every aspect of how her films are made. the costume itself is recognizable: a white pantsuit with three-quarter sleeves and a thin black shirt underneath. she has an eyepatch over her left eye, as well as a scar that's been carefully crafted out of makeup. (her own doing.)

the gun holster on her hip is the real deal, but that's exactly what Athena wears.

after she pulls out the growlers and sets up their metal labels wrapped around the top nozzles – there's an IPA, a sour, a porter, a stout, a blonde and all of them are awesome, because Gaby knows her shit – she turns to someone she hears behind her, offering a faint smile. ]


Trick or treat?

002. moving day is coming

[ at some point, Gaby takes a seat to relax. she takes off the coat, revealing the light-fitting black shirt underneath. her legs stretch out in front of her, and she has her holster tucked away in her jacket, which is close to her on the floor, just within reach. don't get any ideas.

she brings a hand up to run it back through her hair, and nods to someone. ]


Don't get too comfortable here. Can't tell if it's good or bad news, but we're moving soon. I won't miss this place.

[ after all? it's where they landed after the monster attacks. where she first heard that New Tokyo went dark (and apparently ... there were things before that? reading the network lately has made her feel like she's on some major psychedelic drugs). it's where she first had to beg for help to save her comrades, even if she worried the Displaced wouldn't help. she won't miss it. and none of that includes the time where Matches and his kid brother brought a goddamn dog they (basically) stole inside. is that the worst? no, but ... damn, it's more like the icing on the shit cake.

and really, she wishes it was as simple as a dog. because there's a lot she's not touching about the Displaced. a lot. ]
