* OPEN CAPPED ! » mercy’s fitness center .
" the sun had set long ago the moment sabine manages to fall , finally , easily into her routine . she didn’t like to train alone , but the busy schedule of these last few weeks , overwhelming even for her , had made it rather difficult to have it any other way . punching the bag right in front of her , a growl of annoyance falls from pouty lips at the erratic movement of the sack , hence the faint steps behind her shone like a beacon in her struggle . she steps closer , only a few inches , smoothly , and narrows her eyes in a futile attempt to identify the silhouette in the dim light . " hey , can i ask you a favor ? " favors weren’t a thing she asked for , not serious ones , but this was so frivolous she didn’t even stop to think the way she phrased her words . " could you , uhm … hold the bag for a few minutes , i need to try something and it keeps … fucking moving . " despite her efforts to sound collected , the frustration was palpable in her voice , and a huff emanated from her — tired , irritated , aggravation gnawing at her insides like a starving dog .

" bafflement strikes her like lighting at what she hears , out of nowhere , unexpected , and a chortle arises within under the nature of the comment , under the absurdity that resounds in her ears . " i— okay … " she starts , unsure of what to say . " well , what’s your argument behind that … belief ? " sabine tries hard not to sound too apathetic , because she’s truly amused at the moment , and somehow , in her endless curiosity , she needs to know where such thing came from .
starter : julia ft. open @ unspecified location w/in mercy hq
" i'm just saying, " julia says, with all the confidence of someone who is about to expose everyone in the vicinity to the worst take of all time, " there's nothing a field agent can do that an intel agent can't do better. " says the intel agent with absolutely no in-person subterfuge skills — they can only lie when there's a computer screen between them and whoever they're talking to.

✦ SABINE BOGELOT » percetive yet cynical thirty year old biomedical junior agent who goes by she + her pronouns and is always carrying the initial of her late mother hanging around her neck . born in portland , oregon , often can be seen nose deep in any and every of her lab tasks ; training overtime at the gym , even when it is not necessary ; or taciturn and busy in her research at the public library . perceptive as a cat in the dark , but insensitive as a numb limb , sabine deeply enjoys afternoons in which her mind is quiet enough to allow her to read ; nursing a glass of pinot noir after a particularly exhausting day & lone walks under the rain , drops hitting her umbrella in a soothing rhythm . chaotic neutral , aries sun & biology enthusiast , she identifies as a lesbian cis woman , has the terrible habit of moving a pen between index and forefinger in a maniacal way when she’s anxiously focused , and has been part of the mercy organization for seven years . ©

warm was the day you came into this world , despite the snow falling inclemently the night before , despite the winter sun that was just a trinket in the sky , it was warm as the smile that grazed your father’s features when he cradled you in his arms for the first time .
you had a happy childhood , one you later new you were lucky to have , always surrounded by tenderness and love and attention and an annoying brother who , five years older than you , was always messing with your blonde , curly hair and stealing your toys , yet too watching over you like an eagle , ready to jump in front of any and every possible threat aimed at your tiny being .
you had a happy childhood , filled with colors and laughs , an annoying older brother and two loving parents that did everything in their hands to secure that happiness . until they weren’t around anymore .
it happens only months after your twelve birthday . the four of you were coming back from one of your football matches , buzzing with excitement — because your team was finally thriving — when the lights of a hovertruck appear out of nowhere — a driver who had run a red light , its vehicle impacting right against your father’s side . he died instantly and your mother , despite all the technologies and medical advancements that composed your world , did it at the hospital . nothing was the same after that night .
it takes you three months to recover from your broken hip , and later you’d realize it will take you your whole life to do it from the loss of those you’d loved the most . but at least you still have your brother .
he promises to take care of you . and he does . he offers himself as a test subject for mercy , so you can have enough money to do as you please , and he teaches you how to cook and how to bake colorful cupcakes so you forget about that injury that doesn’t let you go back to the sport you adore . he comes running at night when you wake up screaming from the nightmares and hugs you until you fall asleep again ( it’s okay , baby , it’s okay . it’ll get better , he murmurs against your template , leaves a kiss there , soothes you caressing your hair . the next morning he makes you pancakes for breakfast ) .
he has powers now , your brother . and he uses them to make you laugh and have a good time that luckily will become good memories . and they do , because on those moments , for an instant , you believe him when he says giving himself to mercy wasn’t that big of a sacrifice .
with grief and melancholy hugging your heart like a warm blanket you keep growing up , and you get used to it — to the heaviness settled between your lungs that later becomes barely tolerable , but it stills stings late at night , and every time you find the sorrow in your brother’s eyes as he stares out of the kitchen’s window , coffee getting cold in his hand .
sourness and resentment taints your soul with time , at the knowledge the man that killed your parents and took away your life walks free who knows where , and you drop everything that matters … because you have a new goal .
medical school comes as a surprise to no one due to your brilliant mind , yet surprise arrives later when you join mercy . and he asks you why ( you had so many options , bean , why this , his eyes full of apprehension bore into yours , searching , pleading . because if they had someone as good as me , mom and dad would still be here , is your answer . and then— then silence ) .

* CLOSED STARTER » @salthq .
" sabine was not the kind of person to stay behind , much less to mingle . she always left mercy’s training centers as soon as possible , considering the amount of things waiting for her to get done . however ( and if someone asked , she sure couldn’t tell them what possessed her ) , she stayed this time , unusually tired , sipping from her bottle like a man five days into the desert , and then was the moment she noticed it — sinéad , pale and exhausted , a look of distress barely concealed on her fair features . the junior agent narrowed her eyes , brow furrowed , and considered her next move carefully . yet curiosity always won , and the semblance of worry stirring within couldn’t be avoided either . " hey , are you alright there ? " she called out , although softly , approaching with the same care she weighed her decision . at close distance , sinéad’s aspect looked even worse , and worry replaced curiosity wholly . " agent salt , " she started , prudently , slightly raising her hand to touch the woman’s arm but deciding against it on time for it to not be noticeable . " are you in pain ? "

“ sabine bogelot was never a spoiled child . temperamental and stubborn? absolutely , but never spoiled , never bratty . somehow along the way into adulthood , that changed . maybe it was the constant attention from her brother , maybe the realization she was capable of always getting her way , hence when she didn’t , grunts of annoyance fell freely from her lips . " god , this is fucking dull , i hate these things , " she complained , a second away from pouting and stomping her foot . however , as quick as the tedious feeling had invaded her , another followed , more alluring . it stretched her gesture in a devilish grin . " imara … " the name dropped smoothly in a low enough tone to evidence she was up to no good . " what if … you help me get some wine , and then go with me outside of this stupid place ? " she had approached , mildly predatory , and her fingers grazed the skin of imara’s forearm , playful , tempting . then , eyes wide and sorrowful , pleading , searched for hers . " please ? "

" the playful roll of her eyes should’ve been contained , yet sabine couldn’t help it . veronica’s solemnity , her icy demeanor hardly ever put her on edge — except , of course , when she was judging her — . after the folder is taken and reviewed by impassive eyes , a nod moves sabine’s head in approval , it is faint , though , barely there — veronica doesn’t care if she agrees . " seven months , " she replies at the question , eagerness hidden in the hardness of her words , as if she were a soldier answering to a superior ( and in a way , she was ) . the query that comes next is unavoidable , no matter how much the way it arrives could annoy the woman . " why ? any plans for me by chance ? "
perhaps it was her own teachings that justified such an attitude. it leaves a bitter taste in veronica's mouth as she states, "i didn't ask for you to barge into my office." her arms cross over her chest. "my waiting room isn't just for show." exhaling, veronica retrieves the folder from sabine's possession and flips through the document. "good," her remark is monotone, absent of any gratitude. "not sure how the board of directors will react, but the information seems compelling." veronica steals a glance at sabine. "how much longer do you have left in your training?"

* CLOSED STARTER » @s0rows .
" smoke gets stuck in the middle of her constricted throat at the sight — unexpected , familiar , so utterly ravaged by memories that seem so ancient now they might well belong to a different reality . hatred follows right afterward , and a petulant scoff falls from her lips in a fog of her chosen death method , eyes rolling to the side to avoid the view that makes her ache . " you know there are , like , one hundred and fuck other smoking areas around , right ? " she can’t help it— talking to him , being pulled toward his existence and the shadow it casts over her rational thoughts . she hates herself for it , she hates the way she yearns for it , for them .

* CLOSED STARTER » @illumin4te .
“ a slight smirk on sabine’s countenance always meant trouble , whether because she had some mischief to drag someone into or because she was pissed to the brim and about to end whoever placed the gesture there . luckily for mara , the case was the former — she was determined to get the agent to get a second drink ( and a third after that one ) and her brown , wide eyes were her main weapon to achieve it . a pleading expression set on them , she all but whined the request . “ come on , you can’t pretend to nurse a single glass of wine the entire night , mara , “ sabine wasn't sure if that was her company���s intention , but in case it were , a preventive strike wouldn't hurt , at least not her . “ please , love , i assure you this drink is worth it , besides it’s free , why wouldn't one take the chance . “ her eyes widened a second in a duh kind of expression used to emphasize her point , as if the path to be taken were obvious .

* CLOSED STARTER » mercy’s hq rooftops ft. @godspcll .
" under the slow motion of sabine’s wrist , the characteristic amber liquid of a jack daniel’s swirled within its dusty container — it’d been a gift from her brother , the bottle , years ago when she made it through her first rounds of training as a junior agent . she had wanted to save it for graduation , but here now , and in the shadow of recent events , the time seemed as good as any . " i’m less than a year away from graduation , " she started , a hint of frustration unavoidable in her words , and handled the bottle to her company after a sip that made her grimace . " couldn’t they wait until , i don’t know , i was able to practice , at least ? why now ? " if the words drop weaved in insensitivity and selfishness , she doesn’t seem to notice ( or care ) , she had a goal in mind and agents showing up murdered out of nowhere disordered her plan in a way sabine loathed — unexpectedly , achingly out of her control .

" she was too drunk for this . not in general— in general she was fine , barely tipsy , yet her brain was pleasantly embraced in a fog that , despite how welcomed it was to dissipate the restlessness of her mind , was not ideal for a compromising breach in their systems . god , isn’t this intel business ? she huffed softly , exhausted , knowing very well that if even them were notified it was not only an intelligence problem . as the voice of the agent a few inches from her reached her ears , her barely drunken state’s fog goes away little by little . " uh … " she hesitated , eyes glassy , although her recovery was quick . not a word uttered , sabine handed her phone to vanessa , letting her read the message — she assumed — , everyone received . ( if junior agents did , then everyone did ) . " you should go look for your phone , i don’t think this is not the moment to forgo direct communication . " the suggestion was soft , it would’ve been gentle , even , if it weren’t for the judgmental inflection in her voice . yet she relented because , after all , she was the one with four boulevardiers in the system , who was sabine bogelot to judge ?
starter status: open, event post mini plot drop.
an air of discomfort clouds vanessa, yet her grin offers a distraction — fooling those in her company. for a moment the meticulously crafted mask falters, an audible huff escapes from cherry kissed lips. vanessa watches as her father descends from the stairs, her gaze narrows. "unbelievable." she swallows what was left of her wine. the lights flicker yet the trained agent keeps her composure. vanessa glances over to her colleague, "i left my phone at coat check. any word from hq?"

“ a huff bubbles from her throat , annoyed , already tired of warden’s bullshit , yet the smile is there , faint and fond , almost imperceptible , but there nonetheless . an eye-roll precedes her words as the clinking of her stilettos halts in front of him . " of course i clean up nice , have you seen me ? " self-condient , arrogant as usual , she gives him a once-over , analyzing what he’s wearing , how handsome he looks . a hum of approval falls from her lips , and that’s everything she gives in return . " oh , no , god fucking forbids " the answer comes swiftly , no hesitation . " i’m here to drink and maybe get someone to warm my bed , business be damned . " she didn’t even want to come , but the mandatory clearly announced made her relent , irritation paving the way to set the proper mood . " what about you? are you seriously wearing glasses inside ? " what a ridiculous specimen warden was , regardless , she couldn’t help the affection , even though she’ll never say it out loud , losing her head sounded a lot more appealing than accepting she harbored anything but annoyance for the agent .
LOCATION SECURED: SENTINEL HQ ENTRY. THE TURN OF THE HOUR, GETTING FRISKED AT THE COATCHECK WITH @tvrmoils.
grandeur held the same fascination as a blade. a shiny, stark catalyst poising change. how the gleaming things attracted all the wrong people. and much like a blade, this man is man is slick as the night. however tall & sharply dressed, he had not been found misplaced among the dirty, designer crowd. that was the point: maintain appearances. " well, don't you clean up well. " it's pointed, sunglasses perched low on the snope of his nose as if discretion were still a weapon here. offers his overcoat to the coatcheck attendant. " all business this evening, verbena? "

it’s like a sharp , low thump — the pain she feels in her skull , penetrating every layer until it hugs her brain in a fog of dizziness and pain , and sabine would love to blame last night’s terrifying affair for it , but her headache had little to do with clowns and cryptic speeches , and a lot more with the amount of whiskey she had consumed to tolerate the whole thing . she was naught but a corpse flopped down on the couch , and even the soft fall of yejide by her side felt like an earthquake to her hangover body . " it does , " her reply is a groan , hoarse and tired . she knows jeyide isn't talking about her pounding head , but she has no mind right now to think about anything else . in fact , she doesn’t have a mind to think at all . yet she does , for him . " i feel like crap , please do not let me drink that much ever again . " deflating , that’s what she tries to do . still , yejide’s words sink in and get processed , and her brain haze is quickly replaced by a tint of worry and softness . " yeah , no , they weren’t augmented . at all , " a pause , glassy eyes assess him for a second — it gives her the time to sober up , she doesn’t want yejide to think she’s not taking this— them seriously . " why do you feel useless ? " curiosity permeates her tone . they’re supposed to follow orders , in the end , stick to rules , and the orders said to stay put , to do nothing but swallow your panic and concern , no matter how much it could kill you … or kill others . why feel useless when that’s what you were ordered to do ?
➥ STATUS : CLOSED @tvrmoils ➥ FEATURING : AGENTVERBENA + AGENTBYTE
rogue clowns ( jesters... ? whatever you wanted to call them ) have a funny way of ruining plans. april fools is nothing short of a coveted holiday for yejide, happening to exceed the previous year every time the first rolls around again. nothing dangerous ! they stick to harmless pranks, things that get a genuine smile out of even some of the most serious agents. cue a dramatic sigh as yejide flops down beside sabine, morning of the first. " this sucks. " rare that anything puts a damper on yejide's mood, but between the ongoing investigations and what happened last night, they find it increasingly difficult to maintain their attitude. " i feel useless. how are you holding up ? " they worry their lower lip between their teeth, lost in thought. " i can't get those images out of my mind. as far as i could tell they weren't augmented.

the message that made her phone vibrate had been a bucket of iced water , and she still felt the cold rippling down her spine as searing drops of dread . a simple look around allowed her to locate most of her trusted agents , settling on them for a second with charged eyes , yet she didn’t make any attempts to reach out to them ( “ do not cause any attention . stay on alert . ” ) , only huffed her annoyance and kept her spine tense and straight as a bowstring while waiting for further commands . this is what she hated about mercy , being a soldier , the lack of freedom , the abundance of orders — this was supposed to be a boring night taking her away from what she yearned to do the most , but why was she surprised , even ? this is what mercy was about , too: shady affairs , endless pretending , failure to be greater . as she drowned in her irritation , the voice coming from her side , only a few steps away , took her out of her reverie . grateful to be ripped away from her fuming thoughts , sabine offered the woman a slight , almost unnoticeable smile . " i’m not sure , i haven’t heard of anything like it before , but i’ve been here only seven years , " it felt like a lifetime , but considering mercy has been around for over thirty years , the only in her answer seemed appropriate . " we haven’t met yet , haven’t we ? " she inquired then , brows slightly furrowed , mind navigating its memories to locate the foreign face , yet nothing came out of it . " i think i haven’t seen you around before . i’m sabine , sabine bogelot . agent verbena , if you please . " hand extended with her introduction she bore her eyes into the gorgeous woman’s own , orbs glinting with an unlikely interest .
the governor's ball. march 31st. @tvrmoils
for the millionth time that night, anitchka wished she was somewhere else. another room. another city. another fucking country. anywhere else but at the governor's ball, dressed to the nines (there had been a mediocre attempt to cover the split lip, the bruised cheekbone), surrounded by strangers in a country she had never spent more then a few days in. none of her carefully laid plans involved living in america of all place. well, none of them involved loosing her brother either.
fucking poxy agents here. how do fucking headquaters get broken into? jesus ani, you're fucked. her brother's voice filled her mind as if he was right there next, spilling expletives that would get him very pointed looks if anyone had heard him. she turned her head, response ready on her lips. then stopped, laughter dead on her lips. oh. he wasn't there. she almost forgot.
instead she found herself looking at a young auburn haired woman instead. in her attempt to locate danya before the speech, she hadn't clocked who she had ended up standing next too. (a failure. fuck anitchka, you know better then this). "has such a thing occured here before?" the question left her lips before she could convince herself otherwise. she'd been in the country for two days. she knew no one. it was safer to sound stupid once then end up dead later because she hadn't asked a question.

in very few spaces sabine found the calm she did in museums , always peaceful , an almost reverent silence surrounding every piece , only muffled comments and marveled expressions coming from the visitors . she often occupied the same place , in front of the same piece — one of her mother’s favorites , composed by feeble colors and soft lines that made her unavoidably melancholic . used to be unapproachable in this particular place , the presence by her side was a surprise , and the reaction it got from her was hard to conceal . it took her a moment to process what’s been said , eyes roaming the form at her left . " uhm … yeah , it’s— " sabine paused , and her gaze fell on the piece again . " i never thought it that way , that honesty is what every work of art has in common . " it was a shocking revelation , to be aware of it . she looked at vanessa once more , assessing her , seeing her in a different light after her words , suddenly very interested in her thoughts and mind . " what else do you see ? "
— starter for: anyone , assume connections ! — location & time: art museum , afternoon
determined to salvage what little off time she had vanessa opted to explore the local museum. however, it felt incongruous in a city known for its emphasis on innovation rather than it's reverence for the past. yet, as vanessa wandered through the exhibits, her eyes absorbed each artifact and artwork --- from ancient stone sculptures to modern splashes of acrylic on canvas. every piece told a story.
with her arms crossed over her chest, vanessa turned to the guest beside her. "how honest, don't you think?" she muses. "to lay bare all its perfections and imperfections. there's no hiding — art has a unique way of revealing such truths."

" julia … we literally were prohibited from talking about the memo , did you really think there would be some form of scandal ? " yeah , sure . a scoff followed her words , evidencing how absurd the idea seemed to her ; mercy controlled everything around them , and sentinel even beyond that , something akin to an indiscretion was hardly plausible . although , if sabine was honest , she also expected something more … thrilling . " do you think it is wise to look for entertainment after that message ? " she questioned then , dead serious for a second , eyebrows raised in challenge . still , the smirk slowly stretching her lips let the other know she was on board with the implicit proposal . " i have a flask with tequila and … uhm , drugs . " the offer isn’t shy , yet it is , somehow , insecure — she doesn’t know if getting high as a kite would be the best idea , but her level of boredom was quickly enticing her to simply drag julia outside and fuck everything else .
agent arachne & agent verbena : governor's ball, wherever there's food ( @tvrmoils )
" well, this is rather dull, " jia says, a pastry in one hand and a glass of white wine in the other. " here i was thinking there'd be something exciting ... scandal, someone spilling secrets ... but it's all just people chatting. " she glances over at the unlucky soul who's ventured close enough to be caught in the orbit of their chaos. " any ideas on how to induce a little excitement ? "

" oh , god " the mumble comes discreetly under her breath , eyes disappearing behind her eyelids in an annoyed roll . of all the people out there , why them ? sabine turns around , knowing it is too late to backtrack , and waits for adair to reach her . " i never said the favor would be unpaid , " she counters , and ignores the jab with a huff , stretching her neck to get ready once more . yet , of course , of course adair blythe , of all people , couldn’t stay silent , and as the first punch lands , their voice echoes in the surroundings , making sabine sigh like a petulant child . she shakes her head , holding back a new eye - roll , and spits , " i’ve heard staying silent while you train helps you breathe better , " it’s not a lie , however , the fact is stated derisively , exhaustion and irritation getting the worst of her as a kick moves the bag firmly held in adair’s grip . " and maybe it is too early to judge , " she continues , a kick landing in the middle of the leather this time . " but you’re a way better drinking partner than a sparring one . ” so far , at least . maybe it is the alcohol that makes the self - centered field agent more tolerable in those occasions , maybe it’s the outside setting , whatever the reason behind it , sabine is really tempted to exchange the training for a shot of vodka right now .

it was way too easy to forget that when it came to mercy agents, someone, somewhere was always awake despite the unusual hours. most did check in for the night just in time for dusk to take the stage. those who stayed past that and even exceeded the curtain call were seen as the stubborn and relentless ones ― overachievers. those who had plenty to prove. either to themselves or to the rest. adair appreciated the enormous space, stillness and silence of the training grounds and these circumstances could only be applied at dawn or after dusk. there was no in between. when it came to training itself, the agent tended to mind their own business which rendered the current moment as one of those examples. given the spacious environment maneuvering around the place was a straight up chore adair did not enjoy if their quickened pace was of any indication. the will for them to simply appear at the other part of training zone by the use of their shadows was too great, however the agent received their merciful distraction which came as a form of a familiar voice commanding attention by its tone alone.
❝ favors go both ways, just saying. ❞ an itching nudge of a reminder seeped through an otherwise detached and stoic persona. ❝ you're beating the shit out of it and you're expecting it to stay still? ❞ adair tsked once they approached the other's training spot, locking their hands on the sides of the bag in a tight grip awaiting upcoming punches. the tension and irritation in the air was palpable indicating agent verbena's impatience and gradual loss of temper. agent ghostrider was no stranger to those sensations, especially having those frequent them more so in their younger years than currently. thus, they knew better than to press the other's almost non-existent buttons. ❝ have you taken any breaks in between your sessions? ❞ a singular beat. ❝ i've heard water can bring focus in motion, in case it's one of your current struggles. ❞ there was nothing worse than somehow ending up in dehydration stage accompanied by one's sour mood.
