Who: Jane and Daniel
What: Oh...not much. Discussing that fact that he slept with a redhead and is being blackmailed. The usual.
Where: R1
When: Directly following the linked post, tonight.
Warnings: Swearing is likely.
Despite the fact that Jane had not replied to Daniel's last comment, she did indeed dress warmly. She put on a coat and some gloves, even, her movements smooth and easy. She walked upstairs, and her legs did not shake. The only indication that anything at all had happened was the fact that she wasn't smiling.
She ignored the eerie silence punctuated by exclamations of horror and laughter from the apartments as she passed, all of them, every one, glued to their computers in anticipation of the antics of the anon meme. She wondered what everyone else might find out tonight, what they might discover.
She never should have asked. She never should have asked.
She reached the Penthouse floor and climbed out a window, tottering slightly as she pulled herself up onto the roof. The climb was treacherous, and she was buffeted by icy winds as she carefully edged her way toward the West Balcony. When she was above it she shuffled backwards, hands tight on the shingles. The sharp edges of them bit into her knees, but she barely felt them as she slid back and dropped to the balcony.
She stood up. It hadn't snowed yet, but a cold rain had left wetness on everything that reflected the light from the skyline, leaving the edges of the slick black leaves orange.
She knocked on the glass and waited, staring into the apartment.
