Open House Apartment Post

[psychette]

A message from the mun: This is sort of an open house post. Anyone is welcome to drop in or out to see her apartment, say hi, and eat food or play video games. Psych muses are especially welcome. Slow or fast RPing, either is fine.

Jackie switched off the vacuum and surveyed her handiwork. The apartment was clean from top to bottom, from kitchenette to sofa. (she'd even dug out an old lollypop wrapper that she was sure had been stuck there sometime in the 80's when the couch was sold to her dad...and $1.10 in change) Jackie wrapped up the cord and stuck the vacuum in the closet out of the way and shut the door.
Let's see....the apartment is clean, check...
....goodies were made, double check...
She even had Uno and Twister standing by if things got too boring...
Jackie swiped one of the oreos off of the plates of snacks she had set buffet style along her kitchen counter. Chips, cookies, and soda of various kinds. Munching on her cookie, she hopped over the top of her couch to set herself right in the middle of it contentedly. She clapped her hands dramatically over her head as she laid back on the couch. "Music!" Her music player attached to the clapper under the tv kicked in, her own mix cd blend of 80's music, the beatles, and Gerschwin jazz. "Perfect," she said with a smile. Picking up her nintendo controller, she turned on her snowboarding game that she'd been trying to beat earlier that week. Nothing much to do till someone shows up I guess, she thought to herself as she guided her female character down the snowy video game slopes.

Jackie swallowed her cookie fast, dusted off her hands, and jumped up to answer the door.

"Who is it?" she asked, peering through the keyhole.


(ooc: nope, haven't met each other yet :))

Carlton rolled his eyes. "Santa Barbara PD," he answered as he flashed his badge at the door.

(ooc: ^_^ Gonna be patchy answering coz I'm going out today...)

*eyes widen at the badge in the small circle lens she has her eye up to*

Quickly she claps off the music, mentally running through her head what this could be about as she worriedly opens the door. Parking tickets? No, those were paid up. Had she run a stop sign without knowing it? No that couldn't be it....

*Opens the door*

"Um...hello. what can I do for you officer? I didn't think my music was that loud if it's the neighbors..."

(ooc: no worries, it's going to be up all weekend, probably longer, and I'm probably going to bed soon)

It shouldn't have been a surprise that a woman answered the door. A young, pretty woman. It wasn't fair, either, the twist in his gut when he first saw her face.

"No." He shook his head, frowning. "I'm looking for Mr Shawn Spencer."

*eyebrow raise*
"Shawn? He's not here right now. But I was pretty sure he was heading over here sometime today, not sure when...


Is he in some sort of trouble?"

[det-lassiter.livejournal.com]

"No, he's in any trouble... Not any more than normal, at least."

He fidgetted in the hallway a little. "What time are you expecting him?"

*tucks a stray strand of hair behind her ear a bit nervously*

"Not sure, I mean, Shawn pretty much comes and goes without warning really..."

She noticed him fidgeting impatiently a bit. "Oh goodness, I'm being rude. Come on in." *opens the door up wide and stands to one side*
"You can wait for him if you like, I texted him this morning about coming today. I could text him again that you're looking for him."

"'Yeah, he's a bit of a Tom cat, isn't he?" Carlton muttered as he slipped through the doorway.

Poking around the room for no real reason but habit, he looking over his shoulder at her. "Oh, you won't get an answer from him, I have his cell."

[psychette10.livejournal.com]

*shuts the door and turns with a questioning look*

You have his cell? How did yo....ohmyword, he's dead isn't he?! Something did happen, didn't it?!!

*covers her mouth with her hands*

[det-lassiter.livejournal.com]

*frowns at her*

Yes, that's right. And I'm expecting his corpse to turn up here for a party any second now.

[whew!]

Jackie sighed with relief and smiled at a thought. "Knowing Shawn, he totally would show up as a corpse just to freak everyone out even if he was dead."

"Sorry to freak out like that, I've never had a policeman show up at my door before. Does Shawn work with you? Is that how you have his phone?"

[det-lassiter.livejournal.com]

"Work... Yeah, that's exactly how I have his phone..." He put his hand in his pocket to touch Shawn's cell that he'd brought with him to return to him. "If you want to insist on calling what he does 'work'."

Chewing the inside of his cheek, he glanced around the room again. "How do you know him?"

[psychette10.livejournal.com]

*grabs a chip and thinks as she munches it before continuing*

He's family. And you are?

[wondering who this suspicious person is and wondering if he really is with the SBPD]
