"You haven't seen what goes on in my head... It's... It's hard to keep it together."

-
"A lot of people say that, Jackie. You just need to talk about it and get help from those closest to you."
-
"Yeah... I guess you're right... Could you help?"
-
[i]Iso nervously chuckles.[/i] "I'm not sure how much help I'll be, but sure."
-
"Alright. Thank you. And... We don't have to right now. Just... Thank you."
-
[i]Iso nods and smiles reassuringly.[/i] "Anything for a friend!"
-
"So... Got anything you want to do?"
-
[i]Iso giggles.[/i] "I feel like I'm in the mood to sing, but we need to find Charlie before I start."
-
"Really? Why would that be?"
-
"He can provide the instruments and chorus because I...can't do that...anymore...ONWARDS!" [i]Iso starts to run.[/i]
-
[b]Jackie runs after her.[/b] "What do you mean anymore? Did something happen?"
-
"Forget about that and find Charl-" [i]Iso runs around a corner and into Charlie. Charlie doesn't move, but Iso falls onto the ground.[/i] "Ow."
-
"Speak of the devil..." [b]She helps Iso up, and gives her a small hug before letting go.[/b] "You alright, Iso?" [spoiler]How tall is she again?[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]Iso? 5'4" Charlie? 6'4"[/spoiler] [i]Iso hugs Jackie as a sign of thanks.[/i] [b]Charlie:[/b] "Let me guess, music?" [b]Iso:[/b] "You know it!" [i]Charlie looks at Iso with an annoyed expression.[/i] [b]Charlie:[/b] "I'm possibly the most highly advanced sentient thing in the multiverse and I'm stuck being your radio?" [b]Iso:[/b] "Yep." [i]Charlie's expression turns into a kind, warm smile.[/i] [b]Charlie:[/b] "I'd be more than happy to help." [i]Iso hugs Charlie.[/i] [b]Iso:[/b] "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"

[spoiler]Iso has 1'4" on Jackie. When she hugs Jackie, Jackie only goes up to like her stomach.[/spoiler] [b]Jackie just looks at them both, smiling. She was glad to see people get along.[/b]
-
[spoiler]Eh, maybe I should make Iso shorter idk[/spoiler] [i]Charlie forms a guitar out of nowhere and tosses it to Iso. Iso catches it and tunes it for a few seconds before clearing her throat.[/i] [b][i]Iso:[/i] [/b]"Okay, maybe this isn't happy, but I just feel like I'm in the mood to sing it." [i]Iso starts to [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQ2ZqkxIaJA]play[/url] and sing with a more serious and hurt expression.[/i]
-
[b]Jackie sat there, crossed-legged in front of her, listening and watching. She knew it had to come from some sort of place in her. Some place she hadn't seen.[/b]
-
[i]When Iso finishes the guitar evaporates into the air like water and she weakly smiles.[/i] [b]Iso: [/b]"I don't know why, but that song has been stuck in my head since the Pan incident." [i]Charlie starts to walk away.[/i] [b]Charlie:[/b] "We all have, Iso."
-
[b]She walks up to Iso, and waves Charlie over.[/b] "Hey, Charlie, get over here."
-
[i]Charlie stops, but doesn't walk back over.[/i] "What is it, Miss Jackie?"
-
"Charlie, walk over here. And how do you know my name? I never told you..."
-
[i]Charlie doesn't move.[/i] "I got the information from Iso. I have to check her memories for suspicious activity."
-
"Charlie, just get over here."
-
[i]Charlie walks over.[/i] "You're wasting my time, Miss."
-
[b]Jackie puts her arms around the both of them, as ineffective as it is. Her arms only really reached halfway around them both.[/b] "You got something else to do, Charlie?"
-
[i]Charlie looks at her blankly.[/i] "Calculations and data to collect as usual. Are we done?"
