Ashwin
"If that were simply all the rebels were doing - helping others - there wouldn't be an issue. But they're stealing officer equipment. They're making it harder for us to keep people safe. Not only that, but officers have been hurt and even killed by rebels. I don't understand how that is helping the situation." Ash shrugged, and the wall he'd thrown up temporarily, as if he was questioning a random criminal, fell. He made a vague gesture of 'whatever/never mind.' He stood up out of his stool and picked up his plate, which still held most of his cheesecake. He crossed over to the refrigerator and put it inside, having lost his appetite. Ash opened a drawer and found a writing utensil and a piece of paper. He scrawled down a couple addresses and slid the paper to Skye, not able to look at her. "That's where the antique stores are." Ash stepped away from the table, going over to the plant in the window above the sink. "..You should go." 

Skye 
Skye pressed her lips together to stop the words that she wanted to say from coming out of her mouth. "Right." Skye stood and slipped the paper into her pocket, pausing momentarily at the door to say, "Thanks for dinner," before heading out, speed walking away. It wasn't until she was several streets down and in a back alley that she let herself think. "Great one, Skye. You just completely ruined... whatever that was." Skye slumped down against the cold, hard wall with a frustrated sigh. "Just like you've ruined everything before that with your crazy idea of changing things for the better. Things aren't going to get better, and you're only making it worse by going around thinking you can make a difference." Skye dashed away threatening tears with the back of her hand. "Stupid revolution and the stupid government and stupid me."

Ashwin
He heard the door close and turned to the table. He slowly finished cleaning up and putting away everything from the meal. After that was done, he walked into the sitting room and sank into a chair. Ash glanced at the mystery novel on the small table beside the chair and picked it up, though he didn't open it. Inside his mind he was facing a moral dilemma, and after several minutes of thinking he sighed and glanced at the book. The music still spilled out of the hidden speakers all over the house. He should have spent this break sleeping or resting, but he'd already used up a large portion of it and there was no way he'd be able to sleep now. Relaxing was out of the question as well, as he was too frustrated (at himself, mainly) to do so. He set the book back down and stood, pacing restlessly for a couple minutes before he decided to put the energy to some use. He had some exercise equipment in a small room near his bedroom, and he went there.

Skye 
After a few minutes of berating herself for even saying anything about anything in the first place, Skye slowly worked her way home. Sylvia was probably asleep, as any sensible person should be at this hour. 

Ashwin
The punching bag swung on its chain, and Ash stepped back. He studied it a moment before moving forward and slamming it again in one swift movement. He fell into a rhythm, concentrated. Am I taking Titus with me tonight or is that tomorrow? 

Skye 
It turned out that Sylvia wasn't asleep. She was waiting in her chair, working on her knitting again. Skye discarded her jacket, not even bothering to care when it fell to the floor. "How'd it go?" Sylvia asked, giving Skye a concerned once-over. "I don't want to talk about it," Skye muttered, hurrying to her room and barely trying not to slam the door. She collapsed on her bed, wiping away more stupid tears.

Ashwin
He stopped punching the punching bag and stepped out of the room, going to the kitchen and getting some water. I think that's tonight. I guess I'll see when I get there. He's a nice kid. 

Jackie
Jackie wrapped her shawl tighter around her shoulders and glance at the sky. Then she slammed face first into someone.

Jacob
Jacob quickly reached down to catch the woman who had run into him. "Are you okay, Miss?" 

Skye 
You may be stupid, Skye thought as she laid in bed, but you're also stubborn. So, tomorrow you are going to get up and do what you've always done because one person's opinion isn't going to change yours.

Outlaw 
She woke up with a start, glanced at the sky, then grinned. “That’s one way to get outta that” she muttered under her breath, pleased with herself. She stretched out her long legs, staying in the dark, uninhabited alley she was hiding in. She made sure her stolen weapons where hidden in her cloak pocket, just to make sure.

Mason
 Time continued to tick by. The effort of slowing it down for so long had drained the majority of Mason's energy; as the minutes grew more and more plentiful since he'd lost control of it, he grew more and more tired, which made him a bit grateful that John's hand was still on his shoulder. Mase leaned against him ever so slightly, praying that he wouldn't think much of it. "Well... I guess now we wait," he murmured, his emotions becoming slightly numb as the shock of Kaylee being on her deathbed ebbed away, which was perfectly fine by him. He hated crying.

Perry
 He hadn't been aware of leaving the room and picking up the phone on his desk, but apparently he had. He blinked down at the device in his hand, staring at it blankly for a few minutes before shakily dialing an emergency number, not really knowing who would respond. "Um, h-hi, this is Perry Carden. I'm cal-ling to report the death of, um, Don Porters. I think he's- He's, um, I think he's dead."

Tbh idek whos pov this is atm
John rubbed comforting circles into Mason's shoulder with his thumb, tucking Cosette under his chin as the toddler sucked her thumb, cuddling drowsily against her uncle. "We wait." He echoed quietly, opening his mouth to say something else when Jocelyn, a new nightshift nurse interrupted him from the doorway - although not unkindly. "Lawrence, I'm so sorry but there's been an call and they need an EMT on the scene, and Blythe is in theatre and god knows where Josh is, and-" He cut off the nurses panicking, forcing a reassuring smile in her direction. "I'll go, give me the details in a minute." He turned to face the other, wince already prominent on his face. "Kaylee, dammit, I just- god, I'm sorry.. I have to- I just. Have to go." He ended pathetically, and the girl laughed (more of a wheeze than anything else) weakly. "It's okay Jackie, just go." She took a deep breath in order to finish her sentence. "Give Mase Coco, they'll stay here with me." Pretending she didn't just volunteer Mason to babysit, she grinned at her friend.

I'm Not Going To Go Back And Forth
"Oh! Oh, I'm fine." Jackie stood up and gave a quick smile.
"Good to know you didn't get hurt when you fell for me," Jacob said. Oh wow, that was BAD, he thought.
"Uh, yeaaaaah… I gotta go," Jackie turned around and began speed-walking away.
"I'm Jacob by the way!" Jacob called after her.
"That's nice," Jackie called over her shoulder, turning the corner and heading off to her house.
Nice going, Jacob. Nice going, Jacob mentally kicked himself.

Skye
Skye fell asleep quickly. The entire day had been exhausting.

Ashwin
He changed back into his uniform, clipping his gear onto his belt. He turned the sound back on on his transmitter and exited his home after setting the security system. He decided to jog to the sector he was working at. Ash was right on time, and the patrolman who had just finished nodded as she left the sector. Titus stood by the corner, leaning against a building. Ash crossed over to the young recruit and smiled at him. "You're working with me this shift, right?" Titus nodded and stepped away from the wall, nervously straightening the cuffs of his sleeves. "Great! You're a pretty good officer already, and I'm sure you'll climb the ranks quickly once you're done with the training period. Ready to get started?" "Yes, sir." "I mostly just walk the sector, keeping an eye out for any criminal or suspicious activity." Titus nodded and fell into step next to Ash as Ash headed down the street.
