Contd Thread II @heartxshaped-bruises

"Hmm..." he considered the question with a drawn-out hum, wondering whether it was even worth answering. It all came down to the ultimate consequence of choosing an option, because then they would have to decide what to do afterwards. And Marko was barely in the right state of mind to even think. There was no denying what was going on here. A corpse with a huge chunk of flesh missing from the side of their throat was a major indicator, and it was certainly difficult to ignore the amount of blood staining his mouth, chin, and upper chest; he was such a messy eater. Even as he contemplated, the vampire casually ran his tongue along his bottom lip to collect any remnants. "...pass? Yeah, forget about it." He finally provided an answer with a brief snigger, settling the conundrum. There was no point in trying to deter the stranger from watching, because the damage had already been done. It was up to them whether they wanted to stay.

But Marko was at least going to have some fun with it. Maybe he could even find room for one more feed.

"You're going to watch from there?" His tone was curious, but there was a playful hint. Despite the darkness, murky yellow eyes were visible as they stared directly at the other. A flash of fangs revealed in a giddy grin could be seen if one was to squint hard enough. "C'mon, come closer," he added, extending a blood-soaked hand out towards the stranger with his little finger crooked, encouraging them to take it. "It's not a true pinky-promise if you don't seal the deal, dude!" A wild laugh followed, the sound echoing down the alleyway.

@heartxshaped-bruises — Rachel

Here she was again…

Here they were again.

Whitney knew exactly why he was making that face- she knew just what he was thinking.. it wasn’t like this was the first time her boyfriend blew a fuse and kicked her out of his house for doing, well, seemingly nothing wrong. One little ‘wrong’ look and he would lose it. Just tell her to get out and then the next day bring flowers to her door, or even the next night call and say he didn’t mean it…. But he never apologized. Not once.

And damn it, for some reason- Whitney fell for it every single time. Even though she truly didn’t want to keep this horrible cycle going; she knew it was wrong to call Rachel almost every time, but he was the only one that she trusted, the one she felt genuinely comfortable with after that would happen. (And in general, always) and now in his truck, she clutched her arms around herself to keep warm, feeling this growing distance; this tension that she loathed. It wasn’t like them; Whitney adored being around and with Rachel, but when she started dating Joshua, that seemed to change… and not within her control.

Considering this, the brunette’s instinct was to be on the defense, which she really didn’t have any right to be. “Well that’s a shitty thing to say, isn’t it?”

She bit back, fighting tears immediately- because she knew he was right. A quiet sniffle made its way into the cold night air between them, just adding to this buildup of frustration. Whitney’s voice turned from a sour bite to someone small; someone lost in some sort of shameful defeat. Her wilted brown eyes couldn’t even peer over to look at him- just staring aimlessly out his passenger window.

“It was great at first…. It really was…”

008 - Setting Prompts [ jess && rafe ]

She's supposed to be at Bible study.

If there's one thing the redhead has begun to learn, it's just how sneaky she can be when it comes to something she wants. She supposed before she never had a reason to want to skulk around behind her parents' backs but now. . . Now she has friends picking her up for "Bible study" and dropping her off with a pack of her "civilian" clothes to change into in the front of Rafe's truck. They're careful, though. As soon as the exchange happens, they're off two or three towns over where not a soul knows them and they can just enjoy each other's company as two young people smitten with one another.

Which is how they ended up at this middle-of-nowhere theater, playing a movie neither of them have heard of (though it's not a surprise she hasn't, most movies aren't allowed at home), with no one but themselves as an audience. Jessica made quick work of the armrest between them so she could more easily lean into Rafe's side, "Do you have even the slightest idea of what's goin' on?" She whispered, her gaze turning to look up from where her head rested on his shoulder, "I'm lost."

"I am the sacrifice, lady, so don't try to get feminist on me..."

He honestly considered provoking her wrath to the fullest degree, even at the cost of his balls, just to see if he wasn't already dead and all this dread of losing his personal freedom had been for nothing. But there was still a (really, really big) chance he actually had been kidnapped by vampires and was subsequently bitten and forced into servitude with little to no options out.

"If I pick the total simp route, will I still be required to drink blood? I would imagine so, if I'll be having my personal supply drained three square meals a day... night... whatever..." Derward's head felt liable to explode from the overtime of thoughts he had yet to finish working through.

"I'd really be able to choose a lot more easily if we could move somewhere more... less... LOUD..." When she'd bitten him, he must've gotten an increase on all the senses because not only was the buzz of the tattoo gun like dinosaur-sized claws on a chalkboard against his eardrum but the sound of the ink flowing inside of the reservoir was starting to annoy him too.

"And, please, make your sidepiece wear some stronger deodorant. If not for me, then do it for the good name of sweaty monosyllabic Slavic gentlemen everywhere..."

[ask-thedepressedkidatthetable]

The walk was peaceful, occasional moments of tension disturbing the silence between them as Alex walked Casper home. Or, at least, as far home as the other allowed him before he broke off in his own direction, circling back through the city to be through the door before his parents got home. At the edge of the treeline, stood a hallow tree. It was larger than all the rest and never got leaves, but in a moment of bravery, years ago, Alex had come up behind it- not daring to approach the mouth- to pull at a small branch, finding it supple. The mouth of it looked like a face. It was a face. Some tortured soul, staring back at them.

Movement caught the corner of Alex's vision. "Ha! Got you!" Alex pushed Casper out of the way, a large hand wrapping itself around his arm. The boy hissed, feeling it tear blisters and pull apart a few cuts as he instinctively tried pulling away. It wasn't the worst it could be. He thought, looking up at the other. Better him than Casper, right? What was he going to do though? The other was right . . . Alex looked over at Casper for a moment. He wasn't going to help him, and Alex didn't think that in a mean way. The shoulder seam of his hoodie was tearing.

Adrenalin flooded his system as the bully leaned in close, one hand free and drifting down as he spoke low filth. Alex wished he could say he was listening, but those short moments quickly became a void in his memory as he took the important thing from the situation, biting the other's nose and wriggling out of his grasp. He pushed him, blood running down his face as the other stumbled back into the tree, hands holding onto the mouth. He could save him. The thought came quickly, urgently almost, but Alex felt too angry to act, watching instead as the whole tree seemed to shake before a sound like a slamming door crashed around them, followed by a scream and a snap. . .

He'd sounded so scared.

And he didn't even try to reach out and save him. Alex didn't even know who he was really, always being bad with background faces.

Would he be missed? Did he have parents? Why was he asking like it mattered?

Alex wiped his mouth with his sleeve in an upward motion, spitting out the rest of the deceased's blood. Some connection. The memory could have carried on if he swallowed it. Who knew what was swimming around in it though.

Alex met Casper's face for a moment before looking away. He needed to sit down. Shit, he really needed to sit down. He wondered how it looked to Cas, it it all seemed like an accident. Something the bully had done to himself rather than a deliberate action. Alex knew. He'd always known. He wouldn't want to die in that tree, primal knowledge screaming at him that it wouldn't lead where he wanted. More demands than Alex few was appropriate of someone who was suicidal on such a regular basis.

Some walk home.

"I killed him." Alex sounded calm. The kind you forced over yourself like a blanket to cover the sickness and shock. He didn't know how else to handle it. Breaking down on a path not ten minutes from the road was hardly productive. It'd saddle Casper and just- no. There was just no point. Alex just thought it was important he admitted the truth . . . He had no idea why.

“Not you again” [ lovisa // ames xD ]

Send “Not you again” for my muse’s reaction

“Ah hålla käften, du,” came the response from Lovisa, spoken with an annoyed huff - as if Ames was nothing more than a stranger who seemed to have recognized her from her detective days. Not that she had been widely known and all. But working with the police had meant people had started adding two and two together when they saw her leaving the office.

Her tone had not been full of animosity; rather, there was a playful note in it, as if to her his words meant next to nothing. “I ain’t had m’ coffee yet. If y’ want me t’ be nicer, queue’s over there,” and she nodded towards the door in the opposite side of the room. More than a clear sign that he had to either leave, or there was a chance a fight would happen.

Random Starter for Rachel II @heartxshaped-bruises​

                 “Dude, these are sick...” Carefully flipping through a notebook filled with sketches, Reynardine admired each and every one of them. It was clear how much Rachel’s art had improved over the years; another moment in time he had woefully missed out on. But pushing those depressing thoughts aside, he was seeing them now. And that was the main thing. “’m honestly impressed...like, wha’? You should be well proud of yourself!” One of many reasons why they eventually stopped butting heads and started liking each other back then was down to their shared interest of horror and graphic novels. They always found time to doodle but never study -- or so their teachers used to say. “When you write your graphic novel, can I have the first copy? Best friend benefit an’ all, y’know?” Grinning, he turned another page and paused on a certain sketch, looking up at Rachel with amazement. “Woah, this would make a bangin’ tattoo, man.”

I decided to do my boys for this one.

Oscar

★  ⸻   COMPASSION: 7/10 It very much depends on the situation, but Oscar can be very sympathetic to someone's plight.

★  ⸻   BITTERNESS: 2/10 He is not a very bitter person. That's not to say he doesn't feel the emotion at times, but it is not something that is ever central to his life.

★  ⸻   HAPPINESS: 7/10 Even though he doesn't believe it is a necessity to life, he's a fairly happy guy. I would venture to say more of a content person, but happy nonetheless.

★  ⸻   POLITENESS: 9/10 His mama raised him right.

★  ⸻   CHIVALRY: 8/10 He is pretty chivalrous. He cares a lot for the opposite sex and is steadfast in the way he treats them. Any woman lucky enough to be called his will be treated like a queen.

★  ⸻   PRIDE: 9/10 His pride can be one of his downfalls at times. He has a very hard time getting over his pride and accepting that it should be knocked down a peg or two.

★  ⸻   HONESTY: 8/10 He is honest as much as possible, but there have been plenty of opportunities throughout his life that have made dishonesty essential. So while he prefers to be an open book, he is well versed in hiding things as necessary.

★  ⸻   BRAVERY: 9/10 Even if he was afraid of something, that wouldn't stop him from doing what needs to be done. Even if it means risking his own life.

★  ⸻   RECKLESSNESS: 3/10 Oscar is a very logical and strategic man and rarely takes risks without thinking through all possible outcomes.

★  ⸻   AMBITION: 8/10 Oscar is extremely ambitious which is how he has climbed his professional ladder to the height he has.

★  ⸻   LOYALTY: 8/10 When he is loyal to someone. He is loyal to a fault at times.

★  ⸻   LOVE: 6/10 While he's not opposed to finding the one his career largely gets in the way of things.

★  ⸻   SENSE OF FAMILY: 9/10 Family is super important to Oscar. Despite his father's life path, he instilled in both Emily and Oscar how important it was to be a family and to stick together.

★  ⸻   ATTRACTIVENESS: 8/10 He doesn't view himself as that attractive - his scar riddled body and his inability to have children a big part of this belief - but he know what women think about him.

★  ⸻   AGILITY: 9/10 His years in the military kept him fit and agile and he's never lost it.

★  ⸻   SEX DRIVE: 7/10 He enjoys it and is fairly decent at it, but it isn't a high priority for him. His work keeps him busy and distracted most days.

Gage

★  ⸻   COMPASSION: 8/10 He is a borderline empath. He is super compassionate to the point of sometimes ignoring his own needs over others.

★  ⸻   BITTERNESS: 1/10 Gage has nothing to really be bitter over except the occasional disappointment when it comes to gigs.

★  ⸻   HAPPINESS: 8/10 He is generally happy with his life. While he does have the down moments, especially when in the midst of his addiction, he jumps back pretty quickly.

★  ⸻   POLITENESS: 6/10 Polite for the most part, but can sometimes come across as arrogant.

★  ⸻   CHIVALRY: 7-8/10 He is actually a gentleman when it comes to the women in his life - so long as they aren't one nighters or flings.

★  ⸻   PRIDE: 5/10 While proud of his professional accomplishments, he isn't really a proud person. He legitimately doesn't like to talk about himself or brag, but can when he needs for work.

★  ⸻   HONESTY: 9/10 He is honest. He despises liars, so he would never do so himself intentionally or willingly.

★  ⸻   BRAVERY: 5/10 He is a self preserver and wouldn't take unnecessary risks to his life.

★  ⸻   RECKLESSNESS: 7/10 He is an addict and can be extremely reckless at times. Having enough money to fix pretty much any mistake he could make, he doesn't think things through at times.

★  ⸻   AMBITION: 9/10 Super ambitious. It was his ambition that drove the band to their fame and it's his ambition that keeps them at the top.

★  ⸻   LOYALTY: 8/10 He is loyal to those who matter to him.

★  ⸻   LOVE: 6/10 Given his career path he doesn't expect to find love, although he is more than open to the possibility - though he doesn't actively look for it.

★  ⸻   SENSE OF FAMILY: 9/10 He is very close to his family and his sister is super protective of him.

★  ⸻   ATTRACTIVENESS: 8/10 He isn't vain, but he isn't naive when it comes to his looks.

★  ⸻   AGILITY: 6-7/10 Agile enough to get the job done.

★  ⸻   SEX DRIVE: 7/10 While he too takes advantage of the loose women constantly around him, he also has times where he wants a break. He can turn it off should the need arise to concentrate on more important life needs.

Silas

★  ⸻   COMPASSION: 6-7/10 He has compassion - his upbringing big on it - but he has a hard time showing it.

★  ⸻   BITTERNESS: 1/10 Not a bitter person in the slightest.

★  ⸻   HAPPINESS: 8/10 Silas is a care-free, happy-go-lucky guy and thoroughly enjoys his life.

★  ⸻   POLITENESS: 6/10 He is polite enough when he needs to be, but he can easily be a douche too.

★  ⸻   CHIVALRY: 8/10 He knows what women like and he isn't afraid to do what it takes to make them happy.

★  ⸻   PRIDE: 4-5/10 He isn't really a proud person, even though proud of what he's done with his life. Pride was largely shunned growing up, so he never really had a need for it.

★  ⸻   HONESTY: 8/10 He is honest, but can tell a fib from time to time to get what he wants.

★  ⸻   BRAVERY: 4/10 He is somehwhat of a pascifist, but can handle his own if need be - though he never goes looking for a fight or trouble, even if it finds him more often than not.

★  ⸻   RECKLESSNESS: 8/10 Silas acts before he thinks more often than not. Consequences of his actions usually don't play a part in his decision to do something until it's too late.

★  ⸻   AMBITION: 6/10 He is ambitious enough to keep going, but doesn't have any real goals in life.

★  ⸻   LOYALTY: 8/10 Given his upbringing, loyalty is a big deal for him and fully believes it goes both ways.

★  ⸻   LOVE: 9/10 Despite his outwardly appearance of a hoe, he is a hopeless romantic at heart.

★  ⸻   SENSE OF FAMILY: 7/10 While his upbringing made family super important, it wasn't exactly family as most viewed it - his parents part if a cult that viewed each member as family and anyone else as an outsider. Silas' parents are important to him, but he doesn't consider blood family. His family is very much chosen.

★  ⸻   ATTRACTIVENESS: 7/10 He knows women find him attractive. He is also aware part of his attractiveness has to do with his career as a musician, so it isn't too important to.him.

★  ⸻   AGILITY: 8/10 He is nimble and limber.

★  ⸻   SEX DRIVE: 9/10 He is a player in every sense of the word. He takes full advantage of the groupies and the benefits of being a rockstar when it comes to his bedroom habits - enjoying it without apology.

Ethan

★  ⸻   COMPASSION: 2/10 There are moments when he second guesses himself and feels, for lack of a better word, bad about things, but it is never enough to change his ways.

★  ⸻   BITTERNESS: 6-7/10 He is full of bitterness for a lot of things that have happened in his life - most of them being legitimate to feel bitter over.

★  ⸻   HAPPINESS: 3-4/10 Happiness is a useless emotion for him, but he knows how to fake it almost expertly. Only those who know him best, which are few and far between, can catch that he is putting on a show for others.

★  ⸻   POLITENESS: 5/10 As with happiness, he knows how to fake it until he makes it.

★  ⸻   CHIVALRY: 3/10 And that's being generous. While Ethan can be a gentleman at times, it is not a priority to him AT ALL. He sees the opposite sex as a toy and most women become his victim in the end, so he sees no need to genuinely be nice to them - unless he's baiting them to satisfy his desire to kill.

★  ⸻   PRIDE: 8/10 Ethan is very prideful of his feats in life - although most of them are known only to him otherwise he'd have been locked up and executed years ago.

★  ⸻   HONESTY: 3/10 He is a pathelogical liar and has no qualms about it. He could care less if he is honest. Honesty is a very hard thing for him to practice, seeing as he believes it makes him weak to acknowledge his inner emotions when he has them.

★  ⸻   BRAVERY: 9/10 Given his chosen extracurricular activities, he is surprisingly brave. Not much frightens him.

★  ⸻   RECKLESSNESS: 2/10 Ethan is methodical and rarely gets sloppy with anything in life. He can be meticulous even with the most mundane activity.

★  ⸻   AMBITION: 5/10 He has enough ambition to keep him going, but since his family is old money and he has a seemingly endless trustfund, he doesn't see a need for ambition.

★  ⸻   LOYALTY: 3/10 Ethan is loyal only to one person. Himself.

★  ⸻   LOVE: 7/10 While Ethan exerts an uncaring appearance, he desperately wants to be loved. He also wants feel love for another, even if he will never admit how thirsty he is for the connection.

★  ⸻   SENSE OF FAMILY: 1/10 He hates his family, but his siblings are the only ones he has ever remotely tried to become close to - even if it failed miserably.

★  ⸻   ATTRACTIVENESS: 9/10 He is very much aware of his attractiveness to the opposite sex and uses it to his advantage as often as possible.

★  ⸻   AGILITY: 9/10 He is fit and agile, a necessary for his night time activities.

★  ⸻   SEX DRIVE: 9/10 He is a horny devil.

@heartxshaped-bruises​ asks ‘ do you ever think we should stop meeting like this?’ 

 Spoken words come as a surprise to the witch as she stands from a crouched position. There’s a self satisfied smirk that plays at the corner of her crimson stained lips as she wipes the blood splatter from her face. She wonders how long he’s been standing there in the shadows, watching as she takes the life from yet another shit stained soul. Petty criminals are never truly missed, no big news announcement, no man hunt for their killer, just another criminal off the streets and out of the hair of the boys in blue. An easy target, and easy payday. Gloved digits slip out what cash is in her victim’s wallet before tossing it beside his lifeless body. Joe now has her full attention.

 “now why would we stop such romance, hm?” boots cross the space between her and Joe, gloves now coming off and stuffed into the small bag she keeps over her shoulder. “I was wondering when I’d run into you again. I can almost say I’ve started to miss you.” there’s no sense of personal space as she wraps her arms around him, lips pressing to the side of his masked face. “If I knew you were coming, I would’ve waited a little longer.”

What Kind of Love Are You?

Love as a Threshold

Your love does not ask for much. Your love does not take. Your love is free, and unquestioned, and here for wherever needs it. When you fall in love, it is as gentle as a breath in the night. It is quiet, and it is effortless. It is tender. If your love was a house, it would readily welcome all who come through. If your love was a hearth, it would warm the hands of whoever stopped by, whether for a day, a month, a year, or forever. When you fall for someone, it is without strings, without conditions, without need. You love for the sake of loving, for the sake of caring for those who need it. You love with a giver’s heart and a giver’s hands and are made so much stronger for it. Being loved by you is to always feel at home. Your love may not always be well-received by those unprepared to linger, but it is unforgettable all the same.

"You're the prettiest thing i've ever seen, my lovely." [ jessica // taliesin - you know him meanwhile I think, up to you if we're moving in the vibes of the early thread or the later one xD ]

If only her father could see her now.

The Autumn equinox had arrived and with it harvest celebrations. A few fae she'd befriended had whisked the little human away to prepare for the night's festivities and as she joined her husband beside the roaring bonfire, Jessica looked more fae than human. Copper curls are long down her back, thin and thick braids adorned with golden rings dancing between the waves while a crown of thistle and marigolds sits atop her head.

"Careful husband," the term once used in teasing or to rile Taliesin's frustration now held a sweet intonation, "others may hear you and think you enjoy my company." Jessica giggled. In truth, the compliment had brightened the woman's smile and set her heart beating just a little faster. Blue eyes glanced down at herself, the dark green lace of the bodice draping over folds of different shades of green, then gold, to crimson, then back up to Taliesin, "Apparently my wardrobe has been the topic of conversation many times between my friends and they leapt at the opportunity to dress me tonight. Which reminds me--"

The redhead stepped a little closer to Taliesin, pulling one of the gold bangles from around her upper arm (its match staying put around her bare bicep), "I was told I should give you this so everyone knows we belong together." Hope danced alongside the fire's reflection in her gaze as she looked up to him, her free hand raising between them to take his as she held the bangle between them, "If you'd like to, anyway." // @heartxshaped-bruises

@heartxshaped-bruises​​ for a uno-reverse starter.

As James quickly learned, the small town he found himself in wasn’t very busy on Sundays and made even moreso due to the pouring rain. The witch eventually changed the shops hour of operations to be closed on Sundays and closing earlier on Wednesdays. At first, James was wary, but eventually enjoyed the quiet day off to catch up on inventory and fulfill online orders that had accumulated after hours. That Sunday afternoon, he was actually in the middle of catching up with Harper when he heard the rapping of knuckles on glass and was surprised to see Rachel at the door. James mentally winced, however, as he walked over because the poor guy was standing in the rain and opened the door.
