@bitchetrope continued from here!
Peter has captured evidence before, but nothing out of the norm of others who’ve been in this job for longer than him. EMF readings, orbs or hazy figures in photos, brief audio recordings that bordered on disturbing, but nothing like this. He was actually face-to-face with a real ghost and she was talking to him! Excitement overshadowed his manners far too quickly and he bit the inside of his cheek when his brain caught up to what the spirit was saying. Embarrassment flooded his body and the silver-haired man ducked his head down in shame, a light flush of pink on his pale cheeks.
“ I am...so sorry. That was really uncool of me. I uhm Yeah, I’ve never had this happen before Sorry, again. “ Peter decided against pulling out his camera, even if it was an instinctual urge. He propped himself up against a trunk of a tree, looking at her with wide eyes still full of bewilderment. “ You’re Jennifer, right? Jennifer Burns? “ He’s done his research before coming here of course, he’d be a piss poor investigator if he didn’t. “ I’m Peter Maximoff, I kinda specialize in this whole...ghost thing. “

02. entry made on the best night of their life.
June 2nd, 1983.
I saw David Bowie tonight! Against all of my mates’ better advice, I spent the rent money on a train ticket here to London. I’m writing this in Waterloo station because I have nowhere else to stay tonight and I don’t know what I’m going to do about the ticket back home. But I don’t care! I don’t care. I feel so alive. Tonight was the best night of my life. I don’t even feel like I’m on earth right now.
I’ve liked him for ten years now and tonight I saw with my own two eyes that he’s real. How can he be real? He’s like a god. I snuck in through one of the doors the roadies left open and I just stuck with the fans in the crowd and there were so many people there that no one asked me shite. There were so many people there. So many. And when we all sang “Heroes” together, it made my heart stop. I can’t believe this happened and this isn’t a dream.
I want to be like Bowie. He is the coolest person alive. No, he’s God. I keep pinching myself. I saw God himself tonight.

Peter’s brows raised a little as he holds a Snickers bar between his teeth for a moment, taking the time to shrug off his coat and drape it over the counter. His eyes look down at his wristwatch for a quick second. “ Uhh, since 2:30? I work here. “ The silver-haired male grins, taking a bite out of the candy bar, peering over Jennifer’s shoulder to get a glimpse of the records she was browsing as he passed by her.
“ Some interesting choices you got there, I dig it. “ Peter carefully opens a few cardboard boxes with a boxcutter, flipping it closed with a satisfying click and opening it to reveal more vinyl records, cassette tapes, and CD’s to stock the shelves.

Senses and Other Oddly Specific Headcanons
1. What does your muse smell like?
The smells of hunting follow Sarah around - metal, smoke, gun powder. A little like leather and convenience store coffee. Mix that with the smell of cheap laundry detergent, and complimentary motel soaps, and the cheapest, closest to unscented shampoo/conditioner/deodorant she can find (the ones that have a fairly pronounced scent linger - and the last thing she needs is the thing she’s hunting finding her cause she smells like vanilla and strawberries or something).
2. What do your muse’s hands feel like?
Strong and callused. Years of hunting and having to work with weapons has made them steady and sure, and firm in their grip, but it’s also left it’s mark in the form of calluses on her fingers and palms, as well as a scar on one hand from having to cut it to draw blood on multiple occasions.
And because she doesn’t always think about things like moisturizer, in the winter it’s not uncommon for her hands to become dry - unless it’s really bothering her, she just ignores it.
3. What does your muse usually eat in a day?
Sarah’s diet generally consists of meals that can be made in a motel room, or bought in a diner or fast food restaurant. It’s not necessarily the healthiest way to live, but she doesn’t exactly have a lot of opportunities to get more, and it keeps her going when she’s moving around and hunting.
Oh, and a lot of coffee. So much coffee in her system.
4. Does your muse have a good singing voice?
She does! But you’re more likely to hear her hum, which she does pretty often when she’s doing menial tasks and things. She only really sings in the shower or along with the radio when she’s driving somewhere, especially on the long highway drives between hunts.
5. Does your muse have any bad habits or nervous ticks?
The biggest and most obvious one is that she swears like a sailor, all of the time. Growing up around hunters will do that to a person. She has enough control to think to sensor herself around young children she doesn’t really know, but that’s mostly because she doesn’t want to be tracked down by an annoyed parent who’s children just learned some new fun words!
She will also sometimes pickpocket people for fun, or if she needs some quick cash, or just to see if you’re paying attention - if she likes you, she will give you your stuff back. Eventually.
She also doesn’t sleep nearly as much as she should, often plays with her pens while writing, and hums when she’s nervous or just bored and doing menial tasks. I don’t know if having one night stands to short term solve her need for non fighting for her life human contact and intimacy and using it to ignore how much she misses affection counts as a bad habit but it’s something! The whole burying that need for affection probably is though.
Her most notable nervous tick is that when she’s stressed or nervous or upset or angry, she will slowly open and close her fists. She doesn’t always realize she’s doing it, but it’s a good way for others to tell she’s upset.
6. What does your muse usually look like / wear?
Most of Sarah’s clothes have that worn in look of being owned and taken care of for years and years. A lot of it has been, or it’s been found at a cheap thrift store and came like that already. Her appearance consists mostly of tank tops, flannel shirts, old band tees, sweaters (some stolen from hook-ups/college exes, some not), jeans and sweat-pants, the old leather jacket she’s had for years, and a pair of sturdy old work boots that have lasted through so much wear and tear. She has one, maybe two nice dresses/outfits for when she needs to dress up.
Most times her hair is pulled back into a braid, bun, or ponytail so it’s out of her way, and make up is generally only used when she needs to go somewhere that it would be expected of her - being at a bar to try and lure out a vampire or something.
7. Is your muse affectionate? How much? How so?
Sarah can be deeply affectionate with people she really likes and is close to, but it’s not necessarily something you’ll see from her on a day to day basis, because a lot of the time she’s by herself and not around other people.
The main two ways she shows it are physically, and through gifts. She likes sitting in people’s laps or having them sitting in hers, hugging or just throwing an arm around someone, just casually being in contact or leaning against each other while doing something together or just doing their own things.
Gift giving is generally something that happens when she comes back after being away on hunts. She’ll return with a charm, or pendant, or amulet, especially the protection kind - she wants the people she cares about to be safe when she can’t be there to protect them. Sometimes she will be closer to home though, and still pick up something just because she saw it and it made her think of them. Either or, its a way for her to say I’m still thinking about you. Even though I can’t always be here, I’m always thinking of you.
All of this goes of course for both friends and romantic partners.
8. What position does your muse sleep in?
On her side, facing the door, usually with a knife near by if not in hand under a pillow or something. She knows better than to trust things won’t try to break in and attack her in her sleep.
9. Could you hear your muse in the hallway from another room?
Sometimes. If she doesn’t want you to, you probably won’t know she’s around. Years of hunting and having to sneak up on that have made her good at being quiet and sneaking around - even if she’s not really thinking about it, which can lead to her spooking people by sneaking up on them. She also likes the quiet because it allows her to hear things she might miss if she was playing music, so you generally can’t tell that way either.
Sarah does sometimes talk to herself out loud though, especially when she’s trying to work through a problem, so there is that. And she hums when she’s doing things, which if you’re in the other room you might hear!

❝ I don’t want to close my eyes. I want to keep them open. ❞ @ harper lee!
crimson peak || @bitchetrope
"I found that there are some times when it's best to keep them closed."
Especially when it came to the people that she shared a fence line with. Harper-Lee had no want to know what went on on their side of the fence. For her and her unborn child, it was best to keep eyes closed.
"You may see some shit you don't want to see."
