I gotta know, do you have a canon manor game? And if so, who was in it and how did it go?

- cw in advance for description of injury and death (it’s not very specific but just in case, y’know?)

—

"My first match? It was uh.. fine, I guess. I wouldn’t be able to tell you for sure, I don’t exactly remember the last minutes of it. I guess I can explain what I do remember though. It was a match with a certain Baker, Tailor, Mechanical Designer and Mercenary. Figuring out how to use my ability was fun, running and stabbing was something I was already used to, but being granted an additional speed and strength made it better."

"There was just one… issue. I assumed the only complication would be those terrible headaches. The headaches were already getting me riled up, and that idiotic mercenary was making things worse. It felt practically impossible to get him down, it was frustrating! It didn’t help that I was starting to get down to one cipher with all the survivors still alive and well. In an attempt of trying to turn this around in my favor, I began to use my ability more and more."

"Half of the match became a blur by then. All I saw were useless prey that needed to be cut down. Once I finally came back to my senses, I was standing over who I assumed was the mercenary. It was hard to tell with the multiple stab wounds covering his body. The other pests had already been sent back to the manor, luckily for them, it was by chair. Poor, poor mercenary~"

"I gutted that damn pig and sent him back with my own hands. I don’t remember doing it, but I can remember the feeling. I hadn’t felt like that since my last adventure with the coward who called herself my friend. It felt great. Although, when I returned from my match, it seemed some of my fellow hunters didn’t share the same feeling. Some even had the plain audacity to look at me with such disgust. The looks on their face were pathetic. The host of these games was even worse to deal with. I was punished for "breaking the natural order" of these games. Can you believe that? I was punished for losing control over an ability that they gave me. If anything, they should’ve been thankful I brought a new outcome to their stupid little game."

"Ugh. Now I’m not allowed to use my ability that much during matches. Something about the manor owner refusing for me to get that "wild" mid-match. I don’t understand why I can’t just put the survivors’ out of their misery my own damn self, but there isn’t much I can do about it now."

[Everyone is gathered around a coffee maker]

Beth: So... who broke it? I'm not mad. I just want to know.

Harry: I did. I broke-

Beth: No, no you didn't. Matt?

Matt: Don't look at me. Look at Benny.

Benny: What? I didn't break it.

Matt: Huh. That's weird. How'd you even know it was broken?

Benny: Because it's sitting right in front of us and it's broken.

Mike: If it matters - probably not - but Cleo was the last one to use it.

Cleo: Liar! I don't even drink that crap!

Mike: Oh, really? Then what were you doing by the coffee cart earlier?

Cleo: I use the wooden stirrers to push back my cuticles; everyone knows that, Mike!

Harry: Ok, ok! Let’s not fight! I broke it, let me pay for it, Beth!

Beth: No! Who broke it?!

Benny: Beth... Jolene's been awfully quiet.

Jolene: REALLY??

Benny: Yeah, really!

Beth [while everyone argues in the background]: I broke it. It burned my hand, so I punched it. I predict ten minutes from now they'll be at each other's throats with war paint on their faces and a pig head on a stick. Good. It was getting a little chummy around here.

@virtuousouls || Cleo & Lo'ak

.｡.:*☆ Cleo loved being at the aquarium. Sure, it was not the same as watching the fishes while swimming with them under the sea, but she still liked spending time there. Plus, no risk of her getting accidentally wet and therefore someone discovering she was a mermaid.

"It is really a pity they do not have dolphins here, right?" She mused, glancing at some others nearby. Cleo could sometimes be a dork, really. And clumsy, too.

Which only proofed in the moment Cleo turned when no one was answering, slippin on a slippy spot on the floor and landing on her ass as a result.

beth and her inability to connect to her sexual partners leaves her always disappointed & disconnected & feeling kinda icky , home girl just needs someone who cares abt her and how gives her TIME to work thru her own emotions so she can realise she cares

#like realistically in canon: as a teen she fell in love w townes and just didnt understand why he was unavailable #her and benny had POTENTIAL but he was useless and she was damaged #harry beltik was too intense and didnt understand her #bro honestly even (fanon) cleo and beth had a kinda toxic relationship #º ✧ 。𝒃𝒆𝒕𝒉 ― should we finish this on the board / story.

A million things ran through Beth's mind as she furiously tried lighting her cigarette but the damn flame refused to flicker for longer than a second. Her mother, Benny Watts, Harry, Cleo, Bargov, Bargov, Bargov, they all consumed her every waking moment. Her hangover thumped violently in her head, the consequences of spending the whole day drinking whatever she could get her hands on the day prior, yet another thing distracting her. She wanted to scream. She wanted to cry. She wanted to break the damn lighter and-

"Beth?" The flame flickered, lighting her cigarette as a new voice sent a chill down her spine. Familiar, oh so familiar. A voice she so often thought about, dreamt about even. Her arms dropped to her side, pulling the cigarette along as she shakily exhaled a cloud of smoke into the crisp morning air. Her tongue swiped over her lips and she turned to face him. He was no longer a boy. He was a young man now. 

"(Y/N)." She greeted, her eyes dropping to scan his figure. He wore a cozy-looking long-sleeved sweater and his coat draped over his arm. He looked grown, obliviously, but it startled how mature he appeared. No longer the sly jock who smoked with her behind the school and listened to her explain chess without teasing her or trying to change her. Her former second biggest fan - her first biggest fan would always be Alma, her beautiful complicated adoptive mother -, her first kiss, her first time, her first heartbreak. "You look... good." She hadn't intended for it to come out so bitter.

"You changed your hair." (Y/N) smiled, that damned smile that'd made her heart skip a beat when she'd first seen it directed at her in the hallway at school. His gaze lifted to her red locks, mostly blocked by the beanie she wore. She'd barely brushed it that morning, only raked her fingers through it and when it refused to comply she'd opted for covering it. "It suits you, Beth. It's- It's good seeing you." 

She looked a mess, she realized, and bit her tongue. Beth smiled, forcibly and awkwardly, and took another drag from her cigarette to ease her jittering nerves. Not even Benny Watts had that sort of effect on her, even with his fluffy hair and cheeky smile. "I didn't think you'd still live around here. You said you wanted to leave this place and never come back." 

"I did leave. For college, I mean. I came back after graduating." He explained with a casual shrug. Of course, he had his life together. Beth hummed absentmindedly and nodded, rolling the cigarette between her index and middle fingers as she tried shoving down all the 'what ifs' desperately trying to rise. "I hear you've made quite the name for yourself, Beth. I'm happy for you."

"You weren't so happy when I had to attend tournaments." The words tumbled out quickly, far too fast for her to shut her mouth before she got the sentence out. (Y/N)'s smile faltered slightly and he chuckled dryly, something that made her wince. But all the inconveniences that'd piled up had put her in too of a bad mood to even think about apologizing. 

"Yeah, it doesn't help you chose a tournament over being here when my father passed, Beth. When I needed you most, you were gone. I think most people would be upset over that, don't you?" Beth pressed her lips together and she nodded, her gaze dropping down onto the pavement beneath her feet. 

"Yeah, I... I was a lousy partner." She admitted quietly. "I didn't mean to... I didn't mean to hurt you, (Y/N). Really. I- I just-"

"It's fine, Beth. It's in the past. We were kids. I never thought we'd end up as high school sweethearts, anyway." It stung to hear, especially when Alma had teased her about him being 'the one'. She nodded, forcing another tight-lipped smile in feigned agreeance and taking a long drag from her cigarette before dropping it on the floor and stepping on the end. She exhaled the smoke and motioned toward the building. 

"Are you here for someone?" For her?

"Yeah, actually, my..." He paused. "My, uhm, my fiancée's nephew is actually competing today. She's out of town so she asked me to, uhm... show some support, I guess."

Fiancée. God, it'd felt like she'd been sucker-punched. "Oh." She simply blurted out in response, her mouth refusing to form any other words. (Y/N) nodded, releasing a breathy laugh as if her world hadn't suddenly turned on its axis. There'd always been a part of her that believed they'd find each other again, that he'd attend a tournament and they'd catch up only to begin their romance all over again. 

"I could... I could see about getting you an invitation if you'd like? It'd be... nice to have you there, Beth." 

"Yeah, of course, I'm... I'm happy for you." What a lie.

[neechees]

I watched Queen's Gambit & really liked it but one of my major criticisms with it is that at points it kind of felt like they were "not like other girls"-ing Beth. She doesn't really have any (non-relative) female friendships outside of Jolene, who is also the person who arguably helps her get addicted to drugs & acts as an ex machina for her later. She mainly has friendships with men, all except 2 of which she also has sex with. I think they were trying to do a reverse on the trope of the male prodigy who sleeps with a lot of women, but it's shown earlier that when Beth TRIES to have friendships with the girls from her school, they write off her interest in chess as just being because she wants the attention of the boys who also play chess: which, obviously isn't true for Beth, but at the same time I still find this annoying that that went this route for her character in a way I cant quite express why I dislike it.

Like at multiple points it kinda seems to only show that the girls Beth went to school with were all catty and mean and it's giving off the "im only friends with guys because girls cause drama" vibe, and then even when she finally makes friends with another woman (Cleo), Cleo herself says women in modeling are all vapid, shallow, and "empty", and then proceeds to help sabotage Beth's chess tournament the following morning before disappearing. Like why couldn't have Beth made more friendships with other women who play chess? Why couldn't have Jolene been present more in the narrative besides when it was convenient for Beth?
