Crime had set out to the Rainbow bridge early, she took investigations more seriously then anything, so getting everything perfect beforehand was important to her.
weighted down with cases of equipment, stacked up on one another on a cart with wheels, this made flying impossible, though she did not complain having to go on foot.
one thing did differ on this investigation however... instead of thinking about where the cameras would be set up. or strategy about how she could lure the spirit out for evidence, Crime had found herself wondering if Licorice was really going to show up or not. it had not been to long ago since Crime had met what she could call her friend, and it was really the first time someone had joined her on an investigation... well... the first time she really minded. she was not used to emotions, and found that she was very apprehensive about how this was going to go tonight.

Licorice was already waiting by the bridge for her new friend and had been there all day. Sitting alone was better than putting up with the cruel numa she called her daughter, and not for the first time, Licorice was considering leaving their tree and finding another. She did not like the thought of leaving her daughter and never going back, but obviously, Scottie did not want her around, and staying only brought Licorice grief. The black and white numa let out a miserable sigh where she lay in the grass near the bridge, curled around a small, flimsy basket she had found a long time ago. It was old, small, and was slowly falling apart, but it did what she wanted it to, so she kept it. Currently, it held some colorful, sugar-coated gumdrops and a few marshmallows wrapped in a scrap of a blanket, and atop that parcel were the two chocolate bunnies she caught that morning in preparation for tonight. Licorice sighed again, worried Crime would not show, but as soon as she wondered that, her ears shot up when she heard something - wheels? She lifted her head made heavy by her mood to see where the noise was coming from and what it was.

Striding easily up the smooth grass, the soft padding of her feet becoming easier to hear as she stepped onto the path that lead to the Bridge. Head bobbing back and forth softly, in great resemblance to the creature whose mask she adorn.
Relaxing herself with the thought that no one would show up tonight, letting herself be ok with it and move on, something she was always very good at. Staring dimly ahead as she got her first glimpse of the bridge.
It was not for another moment that Crime spotted something that caused her head to jerk back up, eyes growing wide behind the small holes of her mask, her progress stopping dead on the path.
Licorice was already there… actually there. her posture stiff, having made herself to believe that this would be a lone investigation like all of them, having not thought out how she would react to something actually joining her!
Poe shattered the silence with his loud crow, swooping sharply from the sky above Crime, and landing in front of Licorice, eying her sharply before cawing at her again, recognizing her.

Licorice's wings shot straight up when she recognized Poe, and she squeaked in delight, the gloom of her mood abruptly lifting. "Hi!" she chirped, forgetting that Poe could not understand her. "Where is- oh!" Licorice leaped to her feet and rushed over to Crime, surprised at all of the...stuff she had with her. "Do you need help with that?"

Poe flapped his wings when he was greeted very shrilly. but other wise remained on the blanket, cocking his head sharply as he peered down at it as Licorice got up to go greet Crime. "CAW" folding his wings back up he stated to peck at the blanket.
Crime continued to stare at Licorice in silence after she had come up, not really registering what Licorice had said until a few moment passed. she had to actually think of how to reply.
"Craa"[/color] she crowed softly tilting her head as well before she glanced sharply back at the case she had. "Crrr- if you want" she replied, a bit awkwardly.

Licorice beamed happily at Crime and darted forward to carefully take the case, very happy to be of some use to her new friend. "What all is this for?" Licorice babbled excitedly. "It's heavy! Is it heavy to you? Or do I just need to lift things more? Oh, I brought some gumdrops and marshmallows and some chocolate bunnies if you're hungry, but if you're not, we can eat later, or you can take them with you when we're finished."
Licorice stopped abruptly and blinked several times in shock. She never talked that much - never. What had come over her? Now nervous, she quickly apologized, "Oh, I'm so sorry - I normally don't talk this much. I don't know what happened." She probably would have continued if she had not clapped a paw over her own mouth to shut herself up.

Beady eyes blinked behind her mast as she quietly watched Licorice as she babbled, then silenced herself with a paw.
jerking her head to the side sharply in a birds like curiosity, she continued to walk forward to where she wanted to get all of her equipment set up.
"I'm used to it" she answered simply. crouching down once she reached a good spot, long tail coiling around her legs to give her the effect that she was nestled in a nest. tilting her beak over and holding a paw out to take the case back.
"... Craa" ponders for a moment, having never done this before, but Licorice seemed to really want to do anything that Crime herself was doing. so Crime decided to spare the Numa from having to ask.
"are you going to help Craa set up?"

"Just tell me what to do!" Licorice piped up, beaming happily. She may not have been very smart, but she knew how to do as she was told. She gave Poe one last pet on his head before she darted back to the cases and await her instructions, her wings twitching in excitement. She knew she was probably acting ridiculous, but she honestly could not help herself - someone actually wanted to be around her!
