SS5 85 New friendships..maybe more!
skyangel on Feb. 27, 2015
As you may recall:
Sarah's friend Stacey stabbed her long time abuser in the thigh after he attempted to rape her and then with the help of her boyfriend Ryan it turned to murder. When the police investigated the case later on, Sarah was hauled in a couple of times for questioning after evidence implicating she had been there at the time came to light. PC Jenny was overly enthusiastic about the case being her first time involved with a murder…much to Sarah's annoyance!
Nikki is a transgender female who recently split with her wife and is now facing a more open and adventurous new life but still looking for love, the same as Sarah.
……..
Congrats to Bear for guessing it was a policewoman even though he had doubts over the length of her nails! lol You could be right though, I never checked the regulation length beforehand! I also loved the idea it could be May, now that would have been a twist and a half! lol
And..no doubt the question on everyone's lips this week is: ‘Is that barmaid’s dress white and gold or blue and black?' ;)
Have a nice weekend guys! :)

Skyangel: You know, you could get Jenny and Alison together. I think Jenny's personality could be disarming and confusing to Alison's (possibly inadvertent (but I think she knows what she's doing)) manipulative and potential stalkery personality. And thanks for the clue about the future. I've been excited about Sarah and Lucy. The kind of person who will put a flyer up to get the attention of "one that got away" is super aces in my book. About my name: It's not super interesting. :) My parents named me Theresa, but that was always shortened to Tessa. And as an adult I go by Tess because for some reason at 20, I thought it sounded more mature than Tessa (I absolutely loathe the name Theresa so that wasn't an option).

Tess: I want to know how you come by that lovely name! :) Your very in tune with my own thoughts anyway. As I said to Kim, I felt Jenny was a great character to explore more as she gave me so many fun ideas to play with but as you say, elusive Lucy is the real core of this last chapter and we have some lovely gameplay between those two coming up which will finally push Janey to the back of Sarah's mind at last. ;)

Phantom: Yes, it do indeed! :)

Kim: When I first started writing lines for Jenny I quickly realised she had a lot of potential to be a fun character but I saw no reason for her to come onto Sarah as she has a very professional heart and was no doubt more excited about the murder case than chatting up Sarah anyway. There's some fun stuff ahead tho for sure. :)

Arici: There's certainly a lot of concern about Nikki. As Tupayon says she has been drinking and a little heady over the flattery too. I had two thoughts about this new guy (Peter). One is that he's a charmer who likes to seduce and conquer and the other that he is sincerely attracted to Nikki but will find Nikki is unable to get any closer due to the different chemistry.

Udyr: Yea lol, one guy on SJ got quite angry about my dress remark saying,'IT'S JUST NOT FUNNY!' lol

Bear and Tupayon: I know! My first thought when writing this was that it seemed selfish of Nikki not to escort Sarah home safely but then I remembered they came in her own car anyway. And Nikki insists on staying even though Sarah is tired so I feel she has to be responsible for her own actions now. I'm undecided though on how much to explore Nikki's new friendship/relationship as I mostly want to focus on Sarah and hers.

"So how did you two meet?" "Interrogation." I wouldn't hate Sarah to start things with Jenny... She has an adorable mixture of super upbeat personality and slight lack of social awareness, that makes her a bit endearing, but Sarah and Lucy have this epic destined thing going. Both interested, but always just missing each other. As if they were being kept from their true loves by some cruel writer. >_>

Sometimes life surprises you.

Well, looking back at those investigation pages, Jenny's mannerisms make a bit more sense (it was the was way she was asking the questions) - anyway, Sarah could do a lot worse than Jenny!! Until Lucy comes along, that is...! Another great page - that middle panel is awesome, with the detail and background!

So SHINY! I love it. All of this scene. Also the tension now that Nikki is not going home.... at least not with Sarah ;-)
Udyr at 5:07AM, Feb. 28, 2015
Haha I bet a lot of people didn't see that coming, now that handcuff line makes sooo much sense though! And Skyangel... Not with the dress, oh god not with the dress... Haha
tupapayon at 5:05AM, Feb. 28, 2015
totally out of the blue... you know, cause usually police uniforms are blue... never mind... I'm also nervous about Nikki... she's drinking, feeling special... be cautious!

Oh ! I wasn't thinking "regulation length" I just meant it wasn't someon on duty ! ...and I just noticed the dress comment! Yes, isn't that everywhere ?
BearinOz at 3:06AM, Feb. 28, 2015
Haha! I _was_ right, even though I didn't know - I never thought about the policewoman. Forgotten her, pretty much. Hmmm...bit nervous about Nik' not going home with Sare. B-) 1st in again !
