WHO: Laura Kinney and OPEN
WHERE: Random rooftops and alleyways in unpleasant parts of the city
WHEN: Different nights this weekend.
WARNINGS: Violence, probably!
SUMMARY: Laura is out tracking some drug dealers and runs into people! Specifically Dakan, but anyone else can start a thread too, just let me know when. Laura will either be out patrolling, sitting on a roof somewhere watching drug dealers, wandering around during the day, or...well, I can roll with anyone.
FORMAT: Para to start, then whatever.

Laura was perched on the edge of the rooftop overlooking the alleyway, her black clothing and dark hair shadowing her from view in the shadow of an old chimney. She was listening to a pair of drug dealers down below talking about meaningless things, the words weren't important really, just the tone of their voices, their smell, their heart rates, clues of what they were doing next. They'd been working for an hour now, and Laura was just considering the right moment to strike.

She always waited it out like this, since she tended to take their 'profits' to keep herself in house and home, and there wasn't any point in getting drug dealers without any money arrested. Well, there was the 'getting them off the streets' aspect, but they'd just be replaced by more drug dealers, which defeated the purpose, really.

There were a thousand snide remarks he could have made, but he was silent. No mocking observation of his was going to make her realize how futile it was, he knew. Some part of her had to understand that she was better than this, that she was forcing herself to be something she wasn't. She just hadn't gotten over that denial.

He shoved his hands in the pockets of his jacket again and walked past her, back to the fire escape, and hesitated there. It seemed...not enough to leave without a last word.

He turned back to her for a moment. Keep pretending to be on everyone else's level, Laura. See how much time you can waste before you crack. "Good night, Laura."
