history:

Growing up in California, Aria’s life was anything but normal. She born to a werewolf father who was destined to be alpha and a witch mother who survived a crazed city with an even more crazed coven and had a witch/werewolf hybrid sister. But their parents tried their hardest to make sure that the girls grew up with as normal of a life as was possible.

That was until they started to tap into their powers and really experiment with magic. Cordelia taught the girls as much as she could. But the two of them began excelling faster than she could teach. Aria put up one hell of a fight, wanting nothing more than to stay in her own little bubble in California with her family. She was happy, she was comfortable. But her parents insisted that it was the best thing for her, to be around other witches, to learn from the best.

It was nice being around her cousins, seeing them more than once for a couple weeks in the summer. But that was about it. Aria studied enough to make it through her classes and fly under the radar of any overly concerned teachers. She was surviving. That was until the one night that Casper practically dragged her out of her bed, forcing her to socialize and go to a party.

Aria was completely out of her element, staying away from the crowd, until a nice blonde witch came up to her and started making conversation. She had seen him in classes before, but she hadn’t talked to him. She barely knew is name. small talk didn’t come easily for the redhead. But for some reason, between the two of them, the conversation easily flowed. It was without a second thought that she was talking and laughing.

From that night on, Aria was like a completely different person - a person that she hadn’t been in a long time. Not since she left California. Austin brought out the best in her. She began excelling in her classes, becoming stronger. But the world came crashing down around her that summer when she took a human life while surfing. It was an accident, one could argue that she wasn’t at fault. But it couldn’t be denied. Her curse was triggered. She was officially a hybrid. She feared that her transition every month would change her. She feared that it would scare Austin away. But each full moon, Austin was sat outside her cell and was there the next morning.

Aria’s life was good. She was happy. She was powerful. And then she had a ring from the most perfect man who loved every bit of her, even the broken bits. She had everything she could have ever asked for. But, just as it had once before, when she truly began to feel happy and comfortable, the universe had other plans for her when her mother, her sister, and herself were sent away by Grayson in an attempt to save them from the fate that he was about to suffer when a group from his pack attempted to overthrow him as alpha and he subsequently lost his life.

Though her family had settled in New Orleans, she was riddled with guilt for essentially leaving her father alone to die. She felt as if she could barely make it through day-to-day, let alone care about any sort of supernatural war going on around them. Her goal for every day was to get out of bed, to manage her grief. If she was able to do anything else, it was a win in her book.

CHARACTER PROFILE: ANNABELLE LEVINE

LEGAL NAME: Annabelle Mae Levine

NICKNAME(S): Why’d anybody ever wanna shorten her name? Her sister used to call her Annie, which she hated.

DATE OF BIRTH: April 17th

PLACE OF BIRTH: A little town out in New Austin

DATE OF DEATH: TBA

SEXUAL ORIENTATION: Heterosexual

PRONOUNS: She/Her

EDUCATION: She got a scholarship to a women’s seminary down in St. Denis. Prior to that, she’d been educated in a one room schoolhouse - the same one she'd later teach in.

RELIGION: She’s never really gone in for all that, though she did attend church for appearances.

LANGUAGE(S): Just English, and some really terrible French

PROFESSION: Forme schoolteacher, turned outlaw

FAMILY: Mrs. Adeline Shepard ( sister, estranged ), Sheriff Ross Shepard ( brother-in-law, estranged ), Peter Levine ( father, deceased ), Susan Levine ( mother, deceased )

SIGNIFICANT OTHER(S): Dutch Van Der Linde*

APPEARANCE: A pretty strawberry blonde, lots of people were always surprised Miss Levine wasn’t married. She’s tiny, with bright eyes and a winning smile.

FACECLAIM: Abigail Cowen as seen in Redeeming Love

ABOUT.

Born to a farmer and his wife, Annabelle never was one to be content with her lot. She always wanted to do better than everybody else - not for her own sake, just to be better. Ambition was her game. She excelled in school only so that she could get a scholarship to the women’s college out in St. Denis, but instead of feeling fulfilled . . . she just got shipped on back to her dump of a town, became the local school marm. When her parents died, she had to move in with her sister, not able to keep up the farm on her meager little salary.

By the time a man called Dutch Van Der Linde and his gang of outlaws showed up in town, working some job, she was fed up. She was restless. She wanted adventure, freedom - there’re so many rules for a teacher, you know? She had dreams, fed by books and poetry and music.

When the offer was made, she jumped at the chance to run away. Unfortunately, her adventures would be cut short - the bloody feud between Colm O’Driscoll and Dutch would be started in earnest after she was killed in retaliation for Dutch killing Colm’s own brother.

VERSES.

PRE-CANON: Set during Annabelle’s time with the gang, sometime in the 1880s.

RDR2 AU: TBA

ADDITIONAL INFO.

history :

for the majority of her life, victoria blake lived under the impression that she was a familiar. it was what her parents had believed, after all, and theirs before them. likely due to the rarity of shapeshifters. perhaps it just seemed more plausible that they’d been meant to serve witches? regardless, it was a mistake that would start the child on a path towards life altering trauma.

victoria was thirteen years old when she first met the witch who would change her life, ms. marjorie ellis. she became the benefactor of the young girl, funding her private school education and eventually introducing her to one hudson king, another witch. the pair instantly hit it off, growing incredibly close in a very short time. it was as though they had always known each other, every conversation an easy one. it was never anything near romantic, but there was no denying that they’d found a soulmate in one another.

a few weeks following her high school graduation, victoria’s parents were found murdered in their home. she’d discovered the bodies herself, a sight she wouldn’t soon forget. marjorie took her in immediately, with hudson right there to comfort his dear friend.

two years later and victoria had moved in with hudson, committing to being his familiar. it would be three years until tragedy struck again in the form of victoria’s own murder.

it was at the peak of their bonded companionship that hudson found himself craving more power, a desire that slowly began to corrupt him. it wouldn’t be long until he came across a ritual that would provide him the power he desperately sought. its cost? his familiar. he didn’t even hesitate in his preparations, making the apology uttered just before knocking victoria out that much more cruel.

TW GRAPHIC MURDER DESCRIPTION:

victoria awoke to the pain of her chest being cut open, hudson ignoring her screams even as his left hand closed around her heart. with his right, he slowly slit her throat, silencing her cries as she began to suffocate on her own blood. he never released her heart, watching the life drain from her face even as he felt the very last beat of vital organ. he immediately moved her into a shallow grave.

TW OVER

two weeks victoria lay dead in the ground before suspicions arose from the one soul left to care for her. once realizing something was wrong, it didn’t take long for marjorie to locate the young woman’s too soon resting place. a tracking spell performed on victoria’s late mother’s ring, as she never took the piece off. a ring that would quickly become the host of a cloaking and glamouring spell meant to keep her hidden from hudson.

in addition to the spell, she chose a new name for herself. victoria marie blake had died, after all. scout victoria ellis, surname taken from the woman who saved her, was born. she would spend the next two years trying to heal from the trauma of her murder and learning the truth of who she was. not a familiar, but a shapeshifter. it was a distinction that held some sense of power to the lost soul, as it meant she was not a of species meant to serve and die for some witch who claimed to care. she was free, and with marjorie’s blessing and promise of protection, she set out to find more of her kind.

more coming soon…..

XRP plummeted along with the rest of the crypto market on Oct. 9 as bearish pressure emerged. XRP, the fifth cryptocurrency by market capitalization, fell to intraday lows of $0.487 from highs of $0.52, reaching a three-week low, or lows last seen on Sept. 18.At the time of writing, XRP had recovered some of its earlier losses but was still down 3.81% in the previous 24 hours to $0.509.Bill Morgan, a lawyer and XRP enthusiast, points out an intriguing fact concerning the recent XRP price decline.Morgan pointed out that the recent price drop bore a resemblance to that seen after Judge Torres issued her summary judgment ruling in July.XRP has now almost entirely lost the the gains from the recent Torres decision on the SEC’s motion for an interlocutory appeal as it previously almost entirely lost the gains from the summary judgment decision in July pic.twitter.com/Zloa3bcPMD— bill morgan (@Belisarius2020) October 9, 2023 The XRP enthusiast pointed out that XRP has lost all of its gains following the recent decision by Judge Torres to deny the SEC appeal request.XRP jumped to highs of $0.549, gaining almost 9% on Oct. 3 after Judge Torres denied the SEC's appeal request, another win for Ripple in the case.However, the gains were reversed as profit-taking began, and XRP has spent five of the last six days in the negative since its remarkable climb on Oct. 3. In the process, XRP went below its daily moving averages of 50 and 200, which were $0.51 and $0.527, respectively.XRP is currently down 2.68% for October, wiping out all of its monthly gains. The same profit-taking scenario played out, with XRP reversing gains after reaching highs of $0.938 on July 13, when Judge Torres made the summary judgment decision partly in Ripple's favor.Crypto expert Benjamin Cowen spoke on the recent altcoin price drop, noting it as part of the market cycle: "Namely, where BTC drops, but BTC dominance goes up because altcoins are dropping more. It is always the most brutal part of the market cycle."The crypto analyst earlier highlighted an eye-opening reality in the XRP price scenario, stating that narratives do not govern the market but rather liquidity does.

Tyler Cowen: Rishi Sunak shows the growing influence of Indian talent in the West

With Rishi Sunak as prime minister of the U.K., it is now impossible to deny what has been evident for some while: Indian talent is revolutionizing the Western world far more than had been expected 10 or 15 years ago. You might think U.K. leadership is an exception, but consider the U.S. It is entirely possible that there will be a presidential election in 2024 or 2028 between Kamala Harris (who…

Infrastructures are material systems that organize and sustain everyday life. Dominating our past and present world are infrastructures like railways, oil pipelines, dams, borders, and policing systems that foster life and connectivity for some by engineering dispossession for others [...]. Maroon geographies defy these infrastructures of domination. They constitute a form of what Cowen (2017) called “fugitive infrastructures”: material arrangements produced through cumulative efforts by everyday people to organize and sustain life when possibilities for survival seem foreclosed. Emerging in opposition to auction blocks, plantations, slave patrols, and other infrastructures of chattel slavery, maroon geographies have always operated as a “furtive and tenuous infrastructure” encompassing the material conditions of Black refusal [...]. The language of fugitivity, in relation to infrastructure, illuminates how everyday survival acts often deemed unlawful can combine into a material basis for struggle. In maroon geographies, fugitive infrastructure forms through Black people’s creative work -- often bordering on the “extralegal” or “criminal” -- to “sustain living in the context of intermittent wages, controlled depletion, economic exclusion, coercion [...].” The disregarding of such work as aberrant and criminal has facilitated systematic disavowals [...]. Across the history of marronage in North America, this has occurred through White efforts to deny the existence of marronage and to atomize Black flight from slavery with terminology such as “runaways,” “outliers,” and “banditti” [...]. Far from disconnected, however, the acts of Black flight and survival that shape maroon geographies consolidate into an entire infrastructure. Fugitive infrastructure delineates an organizing framework through which to comprehend people’s adaptability and reactions to oppressive structures not as isolated [...]. In formulating abolition geography, Gilmore (2017) asserted that “feeling and agency ... [are] constitutive of, no less than constrained by, structure”. In other words, although dominant structural forces like urban development, policing, and incarceration certainly constrain human life and agency, everyday people also systematically build fugitive infrastructure against and outside of the “space, time and legality” [...] of these dominant infrastructural projects. [...] [F]ugitive infrastructure lends coherence to the unbounded ways in which “ordinary people and communities assert their own renderings of life and living rather than those of the state, capital and other dominions’ terms of order” [...].

✧ ˖ * ° ><> ╱ abigail cowen, cis female, she/her — look who’s fresh from the ferry, aren’t you SAOIRSE LEARY ? your eroda brochure says you’re TWENTY-THREE and that you’re currently residing in MARMOTON . your favourite tourist attraction to hang around is ERODIAN BEACH , and the locals around these ports would describe you as INQUISITIVE & INTREPID, STUBBORN & IMPULSIVE . your resting fish face really gives off LONG HAIR BLOWN BACK BY THE OCEAN BREEZE, LATE NIGHTS SPENT PLOTTING THE NEXT GREAT VOYAGE, RED LIPSTICK IMPRINTED ON A MUG OF TEA , and i’m a big fan of the VINTAGE CELTIC KNOT NECKLACE you seem to always be attached to. well, if you see the minister this morning; make sure you head on home as quick as possible, you never know what bad luck he could bring. ╱ ooc; kat, 23, she/her, ast.

tw: needles ( tattoo mention ), cancer mention, death mention

miss saoirse...... oof

GDFLSJL where do i begin with her honestly ??

full name is saoirse eve leary, affectionately called cece by her family since she was young and runs with it as her nickname !

born and raised in cork, ireland with two siblings, a working class father and Slightly upper middle class mother

her childhood wasn’t like, Majorly eventful; she was considered a bit of a tomboy which isn’t a surprise bc she’s always been a bit of a spirited, adventurous girl, has the odd nomadic moment strike her and loves to travel

had a SUPER close relationship with her maternal grandmother before she passed a few years back, still has a close one with her grandfather and paternal grandmother as they’re still living

is a big family girl overall, so much so that she’s eagerly awaiting the day she gets to be the cool aunt

had a decent cluster of pals over the years that’s likely dwindled due to everyone going their separate ways after high school

saoirse Did go to uni between her travels — and graduated — and has aspirations of becoming an anthropologist to explore other cultures and meet new people/understand them

which.. obviously ain’t happening now LFSGJGF rip

came to eroda partially bc it seems like such a pretty and quaint place, partially to explore its “ myth ” that you can never leave; her naturally curious ass questions the whole thing, at least in the sense that there’s no way to challenge your supposed fate on the island and won’t deny entertaining some conspiracy theories around the mystery

she still doesn’t understand that.. yeah, she Literally is stuck here for the rest of her life now, probably because she hasn’t made a Real attempt to put that to the test, but we’ll cross that bridge when we get to it FDSLKJDS

anyways she came here solo ( more than likely ) and has enjoyed her time getting to know the locals and other visitors, taking in the scenery, etc

probably took up a part-time job at sally’s tavern to cover her expenses since she lives in marmoton and it ought to be close enough for her to get to gfjlsdg

personality and everything else

a sociable, ( relatively ) fearless ginger with an eclectic taste in music and a profound appreciation for pastries..

despite being all about cleaner eating habits and lowering her sugar intake, she takes a cheat day or week wherever she can LSDGFJK

parties, game nights, etc, you name it ?? she’s there !

kinda competitive while we’re bringing up games and such, but she’s not about the whole sore winner/loser thing — rather she’ll groan and sulk a little before moving on

like i said before, loves to travel, loves pretty places in general so prepare yourself for an abundance of pictures on her insta feed of where she’s been or where she wants to go

loyal as hell, but she has her limit if you misuse the trust that comes with it

she’s just v wholesome and has a mix of small town city/endlessly curious energy with a sprinkle of being the life of the party……. kinda

however, she’s the most ?? hard to place person all the same

that feeling of freedom that comes with her exploring and all makes her a little hard to tie down; she doesn’t plan on staying in eroda ( which is unfortunate for her considering.... fglsdk ) as she has more to accomplish and see

very much does her own thing and doesn’t wanna hear any criticism for it

as if she’s that out of line DLJGDSLK but still

always wants to try new things, no matter how dumb they might be; except for anything that’s a Legitimate death sentence or is.. a GENUINELY dumb idea, she has enough common sense to know what Not to do KSGFDJDS

has little tattoos on her wrist and behind her left ear for her Favourite trips/symbols/whatever and her family, will let y’all know what they’d be whenever i figure them out since i’m so damn picky with these things

a Big supporter for buying/investing locally, has little trinkets and such to prove it

in fact, she has a collection of thrifted or vintage clothes from her travels and back home, and a chest full of cute jewelry she switches between daily

one piece she wears all the time — only parts with it when she sleeps — is the celtic knot pendant mentioned in her app that’s become something of an heirloom on her mom’s side of the family !

she has the cutest irish lilt in my mind, kinda the same as miss ronan’s and aisling bea’s

really loves her freckles, partially bc i love her freckles and my own :(

tea > coffee, but she loves coffee-flavoured things; bring her a peppermint or camomile tea as her shift winds down or.. idk, just because, and she’ll be forever indebted to you fldjgs

loves to hang out by the water in her free time — she loves the scent and sounds that comes with it, it’s one of the few places where she can put her mind to rest for a bit

the sound of rain hitting a rooftop is her perfect sleep soundtrack

kinda wants to adopt a pet, but doesn’t wanna leave them if she goes on an excursion where they can’t come with her :(

baths with epsom salts, candles that smell like lavender or something just as pleasant and calming, etc during a night in soothes the hell out of her soul

top three products she has in her bag at all times, besides personal info and her phone ? lip balm, a powder spf and mints FGLGKSD

btw.. miss ginger hair and freckles will probably gasp at anyone going out with no spf on them and scold tf out of them bc ‘ hello, melanoma ?? sunburn ?!? ’

wanted connections

childhood pal(s) she’s bumped into: reunited by chance, cece’s glad she has a couple of people she knows to keep her grounded when her mind runs wild at what Might happen when she decides to try her hand at leaving

cousin(s), other relatives: idk, figured it’d be fun for her to have a family member or two running around and not realizing the other relative is the Only one they’ll see in person from here on out

best pal(s) in eroda: someone she’s taken to since arriving, likely spending their free-time eating pastries on the beach, talking shit over tea, little market dates, going to the rainzone half-drunk and trying to rope each other into new things

opposites attract.. of sorts sfdlgkj: basically just a traveler meeting a local who’s never been off eroda, telling all about their ( quite limited ) excursions and bonding in other areas over time !

hook-ups, fwbs.... ENEMIES with benefits?? idk, point is the girl’s probably gotten laid since arriving, it’s all a matter of the situation that fits your muse(s) best FHGSDKJ

roommate: she lives in marmoton, likely in a rental of sorts, and i can’t see her living alone given the situation on the island ( though i’ve viewed her as the type to live alone in a space for one and a half people any other time tbh ). so she has just One and they make the arrangement work ! depending on their personalities and such, we’ll figure out how well they get along Exactly, if at all

ex ??: the girl’s bi so y’all can toss anyone at her for this one as well ! question marks bc i was thinking it’d be an on-and-off thing but maybe not come the time i post this intro LSGKD. basically they were seeing each other for a few months, she fell hard Quick/they moved kinda fast bc they were vibing and they would distance themselves upon realizing this — though i see cece giving them distance bc she knows they need it rather than needing it herself. if it IS on-and-off, they’re definitely off rn and treading lightly ( though she finds it hard to stray and hates things not being fully resolved no matter what happens ?? ), so all it’s a bit angsty regardless of how it goes dfgkljsdg

fellow mystery fiend: someone please fuel her curiosity to the max and try to crack the impossible case of eroda’s captive capabilities with her.. and proceed to watch true crime shows with her when that clearly goes to shit SDFKLJ

older sibling or mentor dynamic: someone to look out for her/teach her some things to help fully support herself/give her advice when she probably needs it most.. idk, i just like the idea of someone becoming a stand-in relative type of friend to her

just give her someone to confide in, to swim at night with, stargaze and all that cute shit, be it platonically or otherwise !

she’s not gonna click with everyone and that’s fine, BUT maybe they run in the same social circles and cece thinks they seem nice enough, but they never really talk amongst themselves ?? just a case of awkwardly starting from scratch and seeing where it takes us !

#eroda.intro #╰ ✨ . ❪ 𝐖𝐄 𝐏𝐀𝐂𝐊𝐈𝐍' 𝐃𝐈𝐀𝐌𝐎𝐍𝐃 𝐏𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐋𝐒 ↝ kat chats ｡#tw needles #tw cancer #tw death #i think?? that's all the triggers here?#i really hope it is anyways :/ i'm bad for spotting them sometimes when they're vague mentions #anyways FINALLY did it !!#now to make my theme even Remotely presentable in the next half hour GLDFJS

BIOGRAPHY

Trust. What a funny little concept, perhaps even poetic. Anchored in the blind faith one has for those they care about the most; trust is supposed to be something you harvest and grow through little acts of love. What a shame it also happens to be as fragile as crystal. It’s a tale as old as time, a marriage that wasn’t meant to be, a father who left without looking back and a brokenhearted mother who never looked forward. Maybe it was because Arabella took after her father’s wild mane of red hair, or perhaps that inexplicable aura of power that no child or teenager should possess, but for some reason her mother always kept her at arm’s length. She wasn’t necessarily cold, but there was a tangible distance that no one would expect between a mother and a daughter. For years Arabella was able to find comfort inside the walls of her grandmother’s house, an old lady with a wit as quick as a fox, and the ability to offer the most helpful (unsolicited) advice you could imagine. Her mom didn’t seem too enthusiastic with the bond they shared, and she made it known, however, she never made much of an effort to stop it either. All in all, life was as good as it could be, given the circumstances. It was Jessica Mooney’s disappearance that changed everything.

Arabella was a bright, happy kid, the lack of affection from her mom was outweighed not only by her grandmother’s presence, but also by the close knitted group of friends she happened to make in school, AJ and Jessica meant everything to her, a connection so strong she would often picture it as a silvery string that tied them all together. When Jessica didn’t show up to school that morning Arabella shouldn’t have given it much thought, but all throughout that day there was this nagging feeling in the pit of her stomach that she just couldn’t shake. Days passed, Jessica was officially declared a missing person, and no one was willing to give the girls any information. That’s when the nightmares started. Images that changed too fast to make sense of them, unintelligible voices whispering in what seemed like ancient languages, a harrowing scream, and then… eerie silence. The dreams kept going on for years, she was terrified and only ever told AJ about them, it was embarrassing not being able to fully explain how she knew they were about Jessica. After a particularly hard night, her mom decided she needed to see a professional, grandma was completely against the idea and one scream-match later, Arabella was looking at splotches of ink printed on paper and answering rather invasive questions from a stern looking lady. Arabella was not allowed to see much of her grandma after that, and eventually the nightmares stopped altogether.

It was the middle of winter break on her senior year when her grandmother passed. Seraphina Ambers left behind a house full of memories and relics, the will said Arabella was to inherit it all, her mom however, convinced her that selling the house would be a better idea, she could finally afford out of state tuition and make a life away from Bridgemead. The redhead was going through the attic, the one part of the house she’d never been in, it smelled like dried flowers and there was candlewax dried up on the floorboards. The walls were lined in bookshelves that looked awfully old, but it was the table next to the window what caught her eye the most. Sitting on top there was a big, carved, wooden box, Arabella opened it carefully, and slowly emptied its contents. A silver dagger, a stone mortar, a deck of tarot cards, a blue velvet pouch filled with glimmering crystals and stones and lastly a book. A book bounded in black leather and embossed with the same carvings that were on the wooden box. A book that somehow looked older than anything she’d eve seen in her life, the pages were yellowed, almost see-through, and the writings on the first few pages looked antique and ornated, definitely not her grandma’s handwriting. Her eyes, wild with curiosity, ran through the pages: “Spell to cure a sickly child, Ritual to purify what’s been corrupted, Dream infusion, Binding spell” and so on, it was like something snapped inside of her, suddenly the answer rolled out of her tongue with such ease. “Witch”.

Arabella spent weeks connecting all the dots. Years of notebooks scribbled with funny little poems written up while bored in class, she would later recognize, what she thought were her own words, in the ancient pages of her family’s book of shadows, spells that somehow had been within her all along; why her grandma exclusively called her by her middle name, Diana, roman goddess of the moon, known in European lore as Queen of Witches. So many things through her life that she’d called coincidences, felt a lot more like fate now. That’s how her journey began, with an insatiable thirst for knowledge and determination to master all this power she had been denied until now. If you asked Arabella, she’d tell you she never felt more like herself than when she managed to call on all four elements for the first time. A sense of confidence she’d never experienced before.

The one thing she kept from her friends, is the one thing she longed to share the most. There was no easy way to throw the words “witch” and “magic” around, no matter how true she knew it to be, Arabella could imagine the incredulous faces of her friends, and the hurtful remarks people would make about her, she couldn’t lose them too, she’d lost too much already. It seemed almost serendipitous that when the gang confronted THE BETA about their pulling away, that they ended up confessing a pretty supernatural thing, the redhead accepted it without questions, after all she had a secret of her own, and with that, for the first time, she showed her friends a glimpse of what she could do.

After turning 18 and graduating High School Arabella rocked her mother with the news that Seraphina’s house was not to be sold, and she was going to stay in town for college. Her mother was livid, but there wasn’t much she could do about it. Soon Arabella moved into the old Ambers Residence, and by the beginning of her first college semester her mother had fled town leaving only a letter to her daughter. The Scooby Gang kept growing and investigating, her life was finally getting some sense of purpose, that was only heightened when she met THE SEER during college orientation, she could feel something about them was different, but wasn’t too sure on how to approach them without sounding like a nutjob. Again, fate seemed to work things around, when they caught Arabella in the middle of the night, calling on wind and water. There wasn’t time to be shocked, cause the second they locked eyes, the rainy night the redhead was casting, erupted into a storm. Arabella had finally found another witch. From then on, they began exploring magic together, learning from each other and forming their own little coven, a kind of sisterhood Arabella different from anything Arabella had experienced before. Suddenly, she could see the silvery string again binding the gang’s fate all together.

VIII: Pleasure

On the topic of adventure: Aria Vitali, Aymeric de Borel, Edmont de Fortemps, Stryder Vitali and Rayne ‘Echoes’ Cowen

1060 words

AO3 ver.

"I have returned successful!"

Aymeric peered up from where he was sitting in the den of the Fortemps manor. Not only he, but Lord Edmont, Lord Stryder and Master Echoes besides. They all stared at the woman curiously as she entered the room to join them. She was outfitted with her lance and in her Ishgardian wear, though it was slightly dirtied to indicate a struggle.

Despite this, the smile that she had on her face was triumphant, a face of pride in whatever it was that she accomplished.

"Welcome home, Ia," her brother, Stryder, greeted her as he sipped from his coffee. His cheerful nonchalance caught the lord commander off-guard, but he supposed it couldn't be helped. After all, he had grown up with the woman and was exposed to her eccentric nature her entire life.

The pair of amethyst eyes met and Aria's brow raised in mild surprise. "Oh, dear brother, you are here!"

"Indeed, I am," he answered with a laugh. "You seem to be in an awfully good mood. I take it that you had a good outing?"

With the way her lips curled into a grin, the answer to the question was obvious. Like a child that had emerged victorious in a game, she had placed her hands on either side of her waist and began laughing theatrically.

"Aye, dear brother!" she exclaimed then peered over her shoulder towards the manservants that were on standby near the wall.

In response, they had nodded and left the room for but a moment before returning with rather large sacks in their arms of varying sizes. Though, with the largest ones, the sound of jingles could be heard akin to the sound of coins ringing against each other. Soon enough, there was a pile of around twenty large sacks bunched together and five medium sacks that didn't appear to be nearly as heavy to carry.

"What is all this then?" Lord Edmont asked.

Echoes was the first to step forward to inspect the sacks, glancing towards his charge for permission beforehand. Once he peered inside one of the large sacks, he saw an exorbitant amount of gil piled on top of each other.

"Ah, it would seem my lady has returned from a treasure hunt," the man explained, revealing the contents to everyone else.

As the gentlemen expressed their complete shock, the woman cheered loudly with approval, raising her hands to the ceiling as if she was the ring leader in a circus presenting the next act.

"Ta-da! That is correct! This is the haul from my latest excursion with my raiding party!"

While Aymeric and Lord Edmont could only gape at the woman, Stryder inclined his head in curiosity.

"What is the total, Sister?" he asked. Aria tilted her head innocently. "Around seven hundred and fifty thousand, if you are to include the leather, powder, materia and clusters in the smaller bags." Stryder hummed in response, markedly impressed as he crossed his arms over his chest. "And what would you like for me to do with the contents? Put it in your account?" Aria waggled her finger in front of her brother before she pointed at Aymeric. "I want to donate the resources to the Restoration effort!"

Aymeric almost fainted at the woman's words and immediately stood to cross the space between the two. He placed his hands on her shoulders and she only continued to smile pleasantly towards him.

"My love, are you sure about this?" he asked. "'Tis quite generous of you and by no means am I undermining your efforts whatsoever, but the amount you are wishing to donate is almost too generous! Would you not wish to withhold some in the case of a financial crisis?"

Aria blinked, tilting her head in confusion. "...But I have enough money." Aria's brows crinkled worriedly before her gaze drifted to Stryder's. "That is...I do have enough money, correct?"

Stryder nodded reassuringly. "Indeed, Sister. Your account remains healthy, the sum of your assets totaling around twenty-three million gil."

From the corner of his eye, Stryder was able to see Aymeric and Lord Edmont almost double over at the number, but his sister looked rather unsatisfied.

"Oh, I knew I forgot to mention something," she stated as she crossed her arms over her chest. "I had withdrawn around five hundred thousand gil the other night so I may give some additional funding to the Doman Enclave. Kozakura was worried that they would be under the budget this month, so I sent an anonymous donation."

Echoes shrugged his shoulders helplessly. "Were you, at least, present to see her reaction, my lady?"

Aria only winked in his direction before they laughed merrily and began organizing the haul. Aymeric, in turn, gave up at how laid back his love was as he returned to his original seat across from Stryder. The elder Vitali only chuckled softly as he took another sip of his coffee.

"How do you handle such a wily sister, Lord Stryder?" Aymeric grumbled in an uncharacteristically childish way that was still rather endearing. Stryder hummed. "Simple—I do not." Lord Edmont raised his brows. "But, Stryder—" Stryder smiled in his direction and shook his head. "I do not wish to deny her the experience, Father. She takes utmost pleasure in the adventure, oft dragging her raiding party along when she is of the mood. The treasures themselves obtained afterwards mean rather little."

Aymeric couldn't help, but pinch the bridge of his nose as a result of the oncoming headache he seemed to be obtaining.

"I had heard stories of Adventurers gaining riches beyond the fondest of dreams," he mused. "I never knew that such a thing was actually true of Ia." "The reason for that is also simple," Stryder commented, a placid smile on his face though his eyes hinted something akin to haunted exhaustion. "And that is?" Stryder glanced towards Aymeric with a helpless shrug. "...She is blessed by the gods of fortune when it comes to drawing lots."

Echoes laughed as he approached them to return by the elder Vitali's side.

"Indeed, she is," the man chimed in. "After all, she had managed to win your heart, Ser Aymeric." "What is THAT supposed to mean?!" the woman shouted from where she was.

Despite the ire of the Warrior of Light, the room was filled with pleasant warmth.

XRP, along with the broader cryptocurrency market, witnessed a significant decline in prices today, as bearish pressure gripped the digital asset. This downward trend has raised concerns among XRP enthusiasts and experts, who are closely analyzing the recent price movements. Bill Morgan, a lawyer and devoted XRP enthusiast, has drawn attention to a compelling observation that draws parallels between the current price drop and a previous significant event. Morgan has pointed out that the recent plummet in XRP’s price bears an uncanny resemblance to the downward spiral witnessed after Judge Torres issued her summary judgment ruling back in July. It’s worth noting that XRP’s price had initially surged to as high as $0.549 on Oct. 3, following Judge Torres’ decision to deny the appeal request my by the Securities and Exchange Commission. XRP has now almost entirely lost the the gains from the recent Torres decision on the SEC’s motion for an interlocutory appeal as it previously almost entirely lost the gains from the summary judgment decision in July pic.twitter.com/Zloa3bcPMD — bill morgan (@Belisarius2020) October 9, 2023 Ripple, the company behind XRP, celebrated this as another victory in their ongoing legal battle with the SEC. However, this surge was short-lived, as profit-taking activities swiftly ensued. XRP’s Market Snapshot Over the past six days, XRP has experienced a series of declines, with only one day in the green. Notably, during this turbulent period, XRP slipped below both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, signaling a bearish sentiment in the market. As of the latest data from CoinGecko, XRP’s price stands at $0.497, reflecting a 3.9% decline in the last 24 hours and a 3.1% dip over the past week. Crypto expert Benjamin Cowen weighed in on the situation, characterizing the recent drop in altcoin prices as a typical phase in the market cycle. “Namely, where BTC drops, but BTC dominance goes up because altcoins are dropping more. It is always the most brutal part of the market cycle,” Cowen noted. This perspective underscores the interconnectedness of the cryptocurrency market and the complex dynamics that influence price movements. XRP market cap halfway to the $27 billion level. Chart: TradingView.com Technical Indicators, Potential Scenarios For XRP’s Future Furthermore, technical indicators are hinting at the possibility of a bearish momentum building up for XRP. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has slipped below the neutral line at 50.0, indicating weakening buying pressure. Additionally, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator, which measures momentum changes, is inching closer to a potential bearish divergence. If the MACD line crosses below the signal line, XRP may face further declines. In this scenario, there’s a real possibility that XRP’s price could drop to the September low of $0.47. Falling below this crucial level could result in the altcoin reaching a three-month low. However, if the broader sentiment in the market turns positive, XRP might manage to hold the $0.505 support level. As XRP navigates these turbulent waters, investors and enthusiasts will be closely watching for any signs of a reversal in its fortunes and hoping for a brighter future ahead.
