[GP] Check-In Day: What a nice surprise; bring your alibis

[st_alksthroughwalls]

Every check-in day conjured memories of her first, and all of the others, which inevitably meant she spent the day with Lara on her mind, and Petey, Illyana, and Wyatt. She'd been blessed with dear friends and loves arriving, and yet she never stopped hoping she'd figure out the mess that was this pocket universe and get home.

It was starting to become complicated, though, almost a year later. It would hurt to lose the people she'd grown fond of here, almost as much as it would be good to get home. She didn't know what to do with that feeling, but it was what it was. All she could do was tend the bar with patience and understanding, and keep an eye on the readings her crude energy measuring devices out on the road sent to her.

For all the people that came in and out, it was a quiet day. So between drinks, she spent most of it bent over a notebook with a cup of coffee in her hand, trying to design better instruments to dismantle Yana's shackles. Maybe Percy could help her build them.

"Oh, so undead creeps. That sounds awesome." Sunny was trying not to grouse too hard, though. If she really started complaining, she'd never stop. She even smiled a little, because how much more absurd could this get?

"London had those too." But again, it was a matter of concentration. "But I'm here, and obviously that's what you need most." Maybe, if he was lucky, he could get that smile to grow a little. Although as much as it sucked getting pulled here and trying to wrap your head around it all, probably not.

Sunny didn't punch him, but she flicked him in the forehead like she would do with one of her brothers when they were being dumb. It was a kind of affection, though. And she did smile. "Obviously."

Coby took the flick, and the smile. "You okay enough for now, if I go make some music, sunshine?"

"Play that song and I will end you, but yeah," she answered with a nod, pushing some stray braids back from her face. "I'll be okay."

Coby pulled her in for another hug. When he'd been in her place, he could've used it, and finding a friend here called for a few hugs anyway. "Yeah, you will."

He turned to wink as he headed for the stage, waiting until he was out of punching range before he started humming You are My Sunshine to himself.
