how to play.

1. Drop a comment with one or more of your muses. It can be empty if you want me to make a scenario, or you can toss one at me. If you want to just give me a prompt (a word, song, lyric, picture, phrase, anything), I can riff off that too.
2. In the subject line, you can specify any of my muses you might want to play with, or you can ask me to pick someone.
3. just rp with me. if something jives really well, maybe we can continue it in another one of these later, sort of like a super casual verse. if it doesn't, it doesn't.

In a way, Spencer's lost a sister too -- not in the same sort of way, not even close, but still. Melissa barely talks to her anymore and when she does -- well it's never kind. She's long decided Spencer's the enemy -- because two of her boyfriends kissed her (Spencer is to blame even though they were both older men who came onto her. Funny, how that works). Her parents were always Team Melissa.

It hasn't left her with a lot of family to rely on.

Which is why his offer arches a little. She doesn't want to lose Jason either -- but if she told him the reality of what was going on, the extent of how bad things really were. It makes him a target.

Which is why the smile she gives him is more sad than anything else.

"I don't want to lose you either -- I've never had a brother before."

Of course, what they don't know now is that Jason is already a target whether he knows anything or not, but he wouldn't blame Spencer for not mentioning it. There's a lot going on, and he can tell the way they need to seek answers goes deep even if he doesn't know the why or that it's linked to so much present danger for her and for the other girls who were Ali's best friends.

Jason smiles a bit at what she says, and there's an ache, a sadness in it too if only because he catches it on her face.

"Well, now you do," he informs her as they make it back around on their walk, and they're in front of her house this time. "And that's not going to change. Not if I have anything to say about it."

In Rosewood you're either a target or a suspect. That seems to be the options. There's no in-between, no innocent bystanders. Nothing. In a world covered in shades of grey sometimes it feels starkly black and white.

"Good." And this time the smile is almost genuine -- or as close to a real smile as she gets anymore, anyway. "Because I wasn't planning on giving you up."

She refuses to let A take everything from her.
