"how could i kriffing trust you when i couldn't even recognize you anymore? you weren't-- you let yourself become this to 'save' them, and yet you never stopped to think that your decisions could hurt them? that you could be the danger? it's the kriffing darkside, zhur'ren! what if you lost control!" if he had allowed himself to fall so far away, to become the very thing the jedi had been trying to keep them all safe from.. how could she trust him to be around their daughter. "and yet you are the one who pushed us away." she added, shaking her head. "all you did was become unstable, untrustworthy! how was that keeping either of us safe! what were you going to do? train them? turn our daughter into a sith too?" no. no, na'sara wouldn't let him get close enough to them to do that. "and yet they never found her. i kept her safe. all those years, it was me and only me. my daughter was never in danger from the sith or the jedi, because of me."

it infuriated zhur'ren that she'd had no faith in him. even after all the time they'd known each other and what he stood for, he would never allow any harm to befall his family. it was the reason he'd turned to the dark side to keep them safe. "i was not the danger to acantha. this is what i became to stop any harm from coming to them. they were going to rip you two away from me." and who would've thought the very thing he was trying to avoid happened under his nose. "i never chose the sith over my family, i chose the sith for my family! for you! for her! i was going to keep her safe! they could've found you with your running. she was force sensitive, they could've tracked her down."

she felt like she needed to be taking fucking notes with everything bryce was telling her, but she was just trying to focus on one thing at a time. they had all the time in the world to get filled in on all that she missed, so she just wanted the main points right now. and her trying to buy hunt from sandriel was definitely a main fucking point. "right cause then you're indebted to jesiba for how much longer? you stupid noble idiot.." she rolled her eyes at the whole story, knowing that she probably would've done something similar if it was her in that situation but gods, she knew bryce hadn't been thinking through the consequences. "did you get him back, though? without selling everything you fucking own, i mean." she didn't know what bryce had gone through, but making deals with the archangels-- she just wanted to make sure she hadn't fallen down that path. "i don't think i would've known how to even begin explaining it either.. i didn't-- i was so sure that what i was uncovering would get me killed, and there was no way in hel that i was letting you get a target on your back too." she wished she could have told bryce more, but so much of her decision making was based around keeping bryce safe. she stood by that, even if it meant she had to keep secrets. "i'm glad you know now.. though, wait, how much do you know?" she asked, wanting to see what bryce had found out. "smart, really fucking smart. gods, i can't believe you got his ass." the idea that micah was gone? that helped bring a little relief to danika, though the comment catches her off guard, eyebrows raising. "... jesiba's vacuum? did you... did you vacuum up an archangel?" it felt like a fucking fever dream, and danika couldn't stop herself from bursting out laughing. "well, surprise? he wasn't a dick to you, right?"

she knew danika was going to lose her shit when she started talking about some of the more intense shit, the world hopping and the fights with the asteri and all the rest of it that would make her attempted deal with sandriel look tame, so maybe it was better to start... not small, but small in the grand scheme of things. "hunt fucked up, and micah sold him to sandriel. i tried to buy him back, jesiba loaned me the full amount he was worth. and when that didn't work, i offered up the amulet to try and sweeten the deal. it still wasn't enough." and yeah, okay, offering up her own ass had been stupid, considering she now was pretty sure hunt would have immediately gotten himself either executed or enslaved again trying to free her, but that hadn't been a thought that even crossed her mind at the time. she just hadn't been able to let him go with her. "i know. i was mad, i think, when it first started coming up, but i get why it wasn't easy to talk about, and i don't think i would've taken it well back then." she'd been a lot more shallow and self absorbed before danika's death, and while she wished that death had never occurred, she didn't think she'd have handled this well without the maturity it forced onto her. "yeah, try living it. i mostly streamed it so if i died micah would have to answer for it, i didn't think they'd all let it go if they saw it with their own eyes." she grinned a bit, her own ego boosted by her friend's clear appreciation of her murder of the archangel. "i think he's still in jesiba's vacuum, but i'm not sure." the redhead nodded, a smug expression over her features. "sure did, bitch. i don't hate him as much as i thought i would."

"oh they did, but don't worry i got better, once i got my body back together." she hadn't fully asked how much bryce had seen, honestly, they barely spoke about the actual night it happened, and danika didn't really want to know how much of that horror scene bryce had seen.. if any of it at all. she shouldn't have seen the apartment like that-- but all that mattered now was that they were here, they were okay, and by some fucking miracle, they got to dance together again. it was like no time had passed at all, and danika only pulled bryce a little closer with a laugh. "no, he fucking didn't-- why is the idea of him in a fucking sunball hat so funny to me." she added, throwing a wink at bryce at the question. "without a doubt, babe. i thought you'd be excited that we're bonding."

"good to know the drugs didn't go right to your brain." it's about all they can do, when it comes to the synth shit, joking about it keeps what happened to the pack of devils hanging too heavily over their heads. so she let danika pull her in, holding onto her friend and flashing her a huge smile as they dance. it's been too long since she's gotten to dance with danika, genuinely let loose rather than pretending to be the vapid party girl everyone else thought she was. "no, he literally is, first thing he bought with micah's paychecks was a sunball hat. and he listens to true crime while working out, actually. i don't know how he does it, i can't handle exercise without intensely upbeat pop music." the redhead snorts, rolling her eyes. "chtona's tits, you guys are gonna ally against my coffee orders, aren't you? horrific, i regret everything."

"yeah, babe, i know what a fiction book is." danika said, her eyes narrowing, arms crossing over their chest. "but crescent city isn't a fiction book, it's where i fucking live, so i don't know what information you're getting but i think you're like.. misremembering or something, i promise."

"not that you could go visit it, we're sort of stuck here," she wanted nothing more than to go back home - but it wasn't possible. "uh, no? like a fiction book? you know like someone making up the story and selling the books?" parker's brow furrowed slightly at the other - like how they'd mentioned something that was familiar, as if it was second nature. "I don't even have the book with me to show you the covers or anything else about it,"

she needed this, needed a few nights to just.. not feel. to cut their emotions out with everything going on, and just enjoy a party. bee was good for that, those kinds of distractions. "lead the way."

@mcrcki asked: 058. a lavish , invite - only party - bee and danika

"Omg this is going to be so fun." Bee grinned at Danika. "We look hot, and of course I have our invites." She conjured them out of thin air. Bee could use her abilities to get wants, but they had to be that, wants not a necessity. "Let's do this."

she'd noticed him following a few moments earlier, and the last thing danika needed was to explain everything to a pissed off wolf in the middle of the street. though, they were praying to the fucking gods that ithan would let them explain before he flipped. she didn't know what he knew, and she wasn't even sure how to begin to explain it. however he finally speaks and danika stares at the youngest holstrom for a long moment, a snorted laugh following the question. "no, kid, you're alive." she shook her head, taking a step closer. "i'm alive too, it's.. it's a really long story but.. chtona’s tits, ithan, you grew up so much."

closed starter — ithan and danika ( @mcrcki )

disorienting is an understatement when ithan wakes up in the new city. he doesn't even remember going to sleep. the wolves. he needs to get back to the wolves. his muscles start to tense. his breathing grating in his chest. he's an alpha; he can do this. he halts at a familiar scent — one that should’ve been dead. he follows it, eyes locked onto the multi-colored hair in the distance. she must've sensed him too, leading them off the beaten path, shaded by trees. "danika?" he says in disbelief and a hint of hope that she could actually be real. "fuck, am i dead?"

the glass shatters and danika feels her back straighten, staring between the broken glass and hunt, his words stirring in her mind. "what the fuck happened--" something horrible enough that even thinking about it had hunt reacting like that, and dani couldn't help that protective flare at the idea of her mate going through similar treatment. "he's good like that.." knowing that baxian had tried to help in any way, that he had tried to carry on for her, a sad smile stays on their lips. "would you believe me if i said yes?" it wasn't as if danika really believed it.. spending so long both dead, and thinking she was dead.. to suddenly having bryce back, to having their life back.. it was hard to process it all. "i don't want to put more on bryce's plate by worrying her with how i'm handling adjusting."

"there's some things that happened. i haven't really talked about it. baxian was there too. he didn't have to be, but he was. he's a good guy..." his glass splinters. "shit." he gets up, tossing the shards in the trash. so, maybe there's more unresolved trauma there than hunt wants to admit. "he handled it better than i would've ... least he looked like it. i think he really just wanted to make sure your death wasn't for nothing, yknow." he shoots danika a small smile. if only the other angel could know she's here and alive. "are you ... doing okay?" he finds himself asking. under all the teasing, there's some sort of understanding between them. in a twisted way, if it weren't for what happened to danika, he might not have met bryce.

it had felt like forever waiting for paramedics to load samara into an ambulance, sella following behind with their details, having convinced the agents to allow her to make the call to sheev, knowing that if someone went up to his office to explain that wasn't family, there was a chance they weren't coming back out.. "don't freak out--" awful way to start a conversation but, it was the first thing that came out when she heard the phone connect, and then it all came out in a rush. "i accidentally shot samara and now we're going to the hospital, but they should be okay, i promise! also i'm sorry! but they're okay!"

[mcrcki]

it all happened so fast. one moment they were arguing and things were at least, mostly fine, and then the next, her niece in on the ground, gripping their stomach as sella stares for probably too long, shock settling into them as situation unfolds. "kriff-- oh... oh kriff okay-- shit, samara, hey it's okay." she dropped the blaster, running to their side as they knelt beside her, her hands hovering around her stomach not knowing what to do. "you're-- you gotta keep pressure on it, right? just.. just hold it, i'll call for help." and then after she's off the phone with 911, she knows she's going to have to call her brother and explain-- "you're gonna be okay, okay? i'm so sorry."

"for now." samara said lowly, trying hard to not yell at their aunt even more than they already were. the last thing she needed was to be scared any more than the weapon they were holding. "i've done it a million times because i trained properly. and if you would listen, you would learn how to use it the right way." they were glad to see sella at least attempting to not close their eyes this time when shooting. but the shot she fired without the strength to hold back the recoil the shot is off. the bolt striking metal and firing back at them, before samara has time to reach a hand out to redirect with the force the blaster hits her in the gut. the impact sending her to the ground with a shout. "kriff!"

"okay, so it didn't cross my mind." she knew that she was already in too deep, that james was just barely hanging on from completely snapping, but god.. she wanted to do anything she could to cut the fucking tension because she couldn't handle a fight right now. "not years, james, do you have zero faith in me? like.. a week at most. i swear, i was handling it." she wouldn't let this whole thing go on for too long with riley, she would lose her patience too quickly for that. "i'm happy to learn my lesson." once again attempting to distract, a wink following her words as he focused on her. however when he asked for more information, vic felt herself deflate a little, letting out an unnecessary breath. "riley was just a means to an end, james. he was a decoy and a shield, nothing more. the only way i could ensure complete loyalty, willing to fucking die for me loyalty, was for him to think we were mates. it never meant anything real, daddy, i promise."

"a lot more." but that confirms that she had, in fact, been planning to do just that. he lets out a huff of air, simply to release some of the frustrations twisting his stomach into knots. "and how long was that going to take, victoria? a few months? a few years?" he knew she could avoid like no one else, and normally that worked in his favor, but right now? not a chance of that benefitting him in any way. "i don't know how fun it'll be for you." james mutters, meeting her eyes as she lifts herself up to make sure his attention is entirely focused on her. "explanation. that's all i want, to know what the fuck is going on here."

he only closed the distance between them, and na'sara knew that no matter how far she tried to run, he was going to catch up. it was what she'd always known, no matter what, they'd find her. she couldn't look at him, couldn't look at the eyes that she had once found love in, to only see the anger and hate that replaced it now, the hurt that he hurled back at her.. "i know exactly what i've done. i've kept them safe from you. from the darkness and disaster that follows you!" she snapped back, finally steadying her voice enough to look back at him. "how can you think you'd be able to be in her life, when i can't even recognize you.. you chose the sith over us a long time ago, don't put that on me. i did everything i could to keep acantha safe, from you."

she was different, but familiar all the same as the last time he'd seen her. the memory burned into his brain of their final words to each other. the last look on her face he'd seen from her of disappointment, shame. he should've known that night she would leave him but he was still blindsided. it hurt to see the face of the woman he loved mixed with the betrayal he felt from her. all of it turning into the only thing he knew how to react with, anger. "i will not!" he made a step forward, but no more than the one step she took from him. "you know why i am here. you thought you could run forever? for decades, na'sara, decades i searched for you and our daughter. do you have any clue what you have done?"

"gareth, hello." sophie had not gotten to officially meet howl's brother in law, not when they planned any trip back to wales specifically around avoiding him, but she supposed for megan's sake, they were glad her sister in law wasn't alone? either way, she had no reason not to be cordial. "it is, yes. i didn't expect to see all of you all the way here."

@mcrcki Gareth & Sophie

"Sophie?" Gareth thought he recognized the woman, but couldn't tell completely at the same time. He walked closer, hoping to get a better look. "That is you, isn't it?"

#thetorturedmusesdept #so. interactions #sophie || gareth perry

[mcrcki]

it wasn't a conversation that sophie was fully ready to have, considering they didn't exactly have answers yet.. or even a fucking theory to try and figure out where howl had gone.. if they allowed themself to just think about every possibility, she knew she'd just spiral. "i don't really know." their voice is quieter, fighting off the concern building. "it's been a few days and he's just.. he's gone. they were meant to pick morgan up from school the other day, and then i got a call that she never showed? and now he won't answer my calls and.. i don't know what's going on."

she gives them a bright smile, in spite of the breathlessness of their entry, moving to hop up on the stool sophie had pointed at. though at their friend's words, xiao lanhua purses her lips in confusion. "what do you mean, you don't know? is everything okay?" it was odd for morgan to be here daily, and even moreso for sophie's husband to not be dropping in constantly to say hello and check on her.

"it wasn't that bad! all the staff there was really nice, and angel let me clean myself up in his room." she knew it wasn't her smartest move, going back to some random hotel with someone, but.. while she couldn't explain it, she felt safe there. "well.. now it's reinforced!" she added. "pleeeease lute." charlie let her expression shift a little, attempting to give her friend some kind of pleading look to help her cause. "what if i promise to tell him the truth? i'll tell him what happened, but i just don't want to walk around covered in blood anymore."

"it was sketchy as fuck, charlotte, don't bullshit me. and you should have already known that!" she was so sure she'd spotted the guy who'd given her coke in a bar a few weeks ago lurking in the lobby, not that charlie needed to know about that. "he is not going to believe that, especially if you try to cover it up and he still finds out!" and yeah, adam would be pissed, but it wasn't like he was going to fire her. worst case scenario, she didn't get laid for a week or two. "and i'll be in even more trouble if i lie to him!"

okay, so the concealer she had tried to use definitely did not cover up the bruise like she thought it would, and instantly charlie is grimacing at the comment. "we could definitely not mention it. i think that's a much better course of action than explaining the whole mugging situation." she gave them a thumbs up and a grin despite the way it made her eye hurt to move the muscles in her face. "so, can i borrow your card? lute's going with me."

adam raised a brow at the girl - lute had already told them that something had happened, so he had his suspicions. "okay, so are we just not going to mention the fact that you look like you've gone ten rounds with mike tyson?" they motioned to the black eye charlie was currently sporting. "and does this have any reason to do with why you've suddenly lost your phone?"

"i tried to explain it to him before he saw you, but i missed him by a few minutes." but knowing that things hadn't gone that poorly with her brother, it at least helped a little bit to ease the worry in vi's chest. considering how his conversation with his best friend had gone. "yeah, i got basically the same answer from garrick.. was it really that fucking bad?" the fact that neither of them wanted to talk about this fight.. it only had vi's mind turning more about what possibly happened. the comment about andrna however, vi groaned in response, moving forward to rest her head in her hands. "i hate lying. they're going to be so fucking mad at me when they finally remember.."

"as well as a conversation about his friend turning into a soulless monster can go." which, really, it could have been far worse, considering he and garrick had come to blows, and pretty quickly, at that. and speaking of garrick... fuck, of course he'd told vi about it. "i don't wanna talk about it, violence." how close he'd felt to snapping in his temper, how badly he could have hurt his friend if he had... "i know. but you're in it now, telling them is only going to make it worse."

"That makes sense, I suppose." Garrett nods, "I'm not lonely, though. I have a mate, but I'm still new to it. I haven't 'dated' since I was human, and that was... around 1780." Now he just sounded old. Which he was.
