The brief moment of surprise elicited a funny response from the stranger, and Lily responded with a little laugh of her own. It was a brief moment, truly, one that occurred while Lily lingered in the water and stared at the woman’s bare feet. Landfolk often dipped their toes into the water, often slipped their feet in before wandering in further.

She has a kind face. Lily raised herself further up a rock and folded her arms underneath her head, smiling as she was warmed by the sunlight.

“Only a little.” Lily said. “Sorry. What brings you here? I don’t think I’ve seen you before, and I remember a lot of faces.”

Nessie didn’t dare step further into the water, something in the back of their mind telling them the cold toes was more than enough, for now. Even if the other seemed kind, they knew better than to trust just anyone in the town off the bat, and certainly, if they were a creature of the water. Or at least, from the rumors they’d overheard within the pack. Though, splashing it in their face was tempting, they held back the urge. For now. 

“Just getting better acquainted with San Paradiso. I feel, no matter how much time I put into exploring the place, there’s still parts that surprise me. In good ways, of course.” Nessie added, truthfully, the smile growing as they turned their gaze to take in the rest of the scenery. “I usually stay in the woods, guess you could say.”

     Gaze follows the other as they cringed away from that aconite plant, her brow quirking ever so slightly as she nodded politely a warm smile spreading across her face at the compliment. “Disruption forgiven” she chuckles, nodding her head and rearranging her shawl delicately before glancing around at her lush garden that, she would have to agree with the other was simply a wonder to behold. “Why thank you, it is always nice to ‘ave your ‘ard work appreciated” she gestures politely to the other as she steps out onto the cobbled path “would you like to come in? We can ‘ave some tea and find your bearings" she gestures towards her humble cottage, the chunky stone walls completely disguised by swathes of climbing leaves and flowers, the roof a medley of mosses and blossoms- all useful to the healer.      She gasps slightly, before her hand drifts to her chest and she shakes her head apologetically “ah, but I ‘aven’t even introduced myself- I’m Madame Kuronuma, Professor of ‘erbology and botany ‘ere at the academy. You can call me Min, if you please” introduction complete, she closes the distance between them with lithe steps, holding her hand out to the other politely “and what can I call you?”

Nessie found it difficult, at times, not to see the worst in people’s attentions, even with something so small as having a plant in one’s garden. A plant that protected species from werewolves, something Nessie couldn’t truthfully blame anyone for, the wolf side was unpredictable. It would be foolish to neglect taking precautions. They certainly weren’t foreign to doing so themselves; but in a place with such beauty, they had been caught off guard, and that was perhaps what had disturbed Nessie the most. But, the kindness of the other calmed them, some, but they’d still be careful to not show their cards so freely. “You can definitely see the work and love that’s put into it. You’re welcome,” they eventually nodded, their smile growing as the sting of the wolfsbane subsided. “I wouldn’t want to impose on your afternoon, though tea would be nice,” Nessie dared to admit, after hiking for who knows how long, they hadn’t realized how dehydrated they were until the mention of the beverage. 

“No worries, I’m just as bad, I just invaded your sanctuary without so much of a knock beforehand. It’s nice to meet you, Min. That sounds like a fun job, I’ve unfortunately failed in all attempts at keeping plants alive, so I’ve stuck with taking care of the already dead, more or less.” The wolf admitted with a soft chuckle at their poor attempt at a joke, shaking the other’s hand as they rambled on before finally pulling back, arm falling back to their side. “I’m Nessie, just the town’s medical examiner.” Or one of them, but that seemed beside the point.

today is my birthday along with norway’s constitution day, so i’ll be quite busy, but after today, my schedule will be much more open !!  

[brewedawakeniing]

also, sorry to spam the ooc things today, but are people okay with me replying to threads / starters that are ‘older’ ? 

[brewedawakeniing]

First, I want to start by, I love the concept of this group and the admin team has been so great to me, as have the other members! I think life has just been too busy upon joining, so I'm struggling to throw myself back into things, because I feel out of place? I guess and so that results to me just distancing myself and making myself question / hesitate about throwing myself back into things. So I’ve been debating leaving the group but I really don’t want to? 

So, and I definitely don’t mean this to guilt anyone because this is all entirely on me and my life being so busy as of late ( it will continue to be busy at least up until Tuesday ) but I’m hoping after that, things will quiet down and I’ll have to write. But, does anyone have any tips or advice on how to throw myself back into things? Or want to plot / chat muses ! Anything, really. 🙈

[brewedawakeniing]

this week has been a tiresome but good week. i meant to get on more, but suddenly, three different families had a need for a babysitter on three different nights, on top of work and school, so any free time i’ve had, i’ve either used to sleep or eat, and all the other necessities of life. today, school consisted of a good full day hike & cooking in rain and wind, but it was definitely worth the reward! here’s a post from instagram, because yes, i am going to brag about myself because i’m proud of myself !! 

this weekend, i have little planned outside of four hours where i’ve promised to babysit tomorrow, so i’m hoping with some much needed rest tonight, i’ll be energized after that and on sunday to get through some replies ! life has a funny way of always getting in the way <3 

[brewedawakeniing]

today is only tuesday and yet, i’ve done and learned so much. yesterday i was a dinosaur significant other, and today i learned that significant others play in sandboxes on dates, at least according to six year old’s. i kind of wish that’s how dating worked in adult life, sounds much more fun than sitting at some overpriced restaurant with awkward conversations. i have the best jobs in the world. 

[brewedawakeniing]

okay, i have two different muse ideas, one being a tommy martinez muse who would be carlos’ brother, the other being a investigative journalist that’s human / new to town after having learned that his sister was in town, i have lots of ideas for both...but idk which fc? i’ve thought of andrew koji and gong yoo, but i’m open to others.

which muse should i bring in first, i guess is the real question?

oh, no.

oh, this was bad.  this was bad bad.  if he kept reading this manuscript, there was no way he was going to be able to keep this bao down. oh god, they could feel it climbing back up his throat now.

god, just look at it!  they grimaced at the next line.  they wanted to share this with someone; no, they needed to——misery was better in the company of others.  or rather, misery actively searched them out.  it was like the need to point out a bad wreck or a horrific site and say, do you see that? are you seeing what i’m seeing? 

“someone wrote this,” deng said to the person at the table beside them.  “someone——swear to gods——someone wrote this.  someone sat down at their computer, thought this is fucking fantastic, and then then they wrote it, and then they willingly——bravely——egotistically?——stupidly——sent it out!  they sent it to me!  for publication! in what fucked up realm could i publish this?  look——look, no you have to see this——”

with the pages of the manuscript folded back in one hand, deng held out the thickly bound unrevised book to the other person to let them read a portion.  “just read that out loud and tell me how much it makes you want to reach back into your eyeballs and rip that memory out.”   

A cat cafe. What had the world come to? Better yet, what was Kai, a centuries old vampire sitting in one? Oh yes. Someone on his team had insisted that he had to take a meeting with someone working on a screenplay for a potential future project. He couldn’t imagine he’d gain anything from it, however, Kai’s muse of late was low, so, he bit the bullet and decided to entertain the idea, even if it was just to laugh in the other’s face at how horrendous an idea it was, at least that would be better than sitting around without a next movie to produce. 

But, of course, the person was running late. Off to a wonderful start, clearly. Scoffing under his breath, Kai raised the black coffee to his lips, but paused as he caught glimpse of a microscopic cat hair dangling from the handle. “People actually enjoy this?” he muttered under his breath, disgust lacing his words as he set the cup back down, pushing it away. If he wasn’t careful, his appetite for coffee would curb into something with a metallic note to it. 

Just as he’d looked up at the time once more, noting how late the other was, he debated on leaving. He’d already wasted more time than he cared to at the establishment, and worse, he gave money to it. But then, a familiar voice caught his attention and he turned toward the source. “Would you look what the cat dragged in, quite literally, can’t say I ever took you for much of a feline person.” Not to say he was either, but he certainly wasn’t there by choice. 

“I’m reaching the peak of my tolerance for nonsensical human idiocrasy for a day, I’m not sure I’m able to put up with much more. Perhaps,” he considered aloud, debating his next words before speaking once more, “It’d be in my best interest to take your word on something this once, after all, if you can’t tolerate it, I certainly can’t.”

Kid is asleep, pizza is the oven, soon I shall be ready to dive into my inbox and then spam others inboxes. That said, if anyone wants random questions thrown their way, like this and I’ll do so! I’ll definitely look for some memes to reblog, too!

[brewedawakeniing]

i know i make a lot of these posts, but i feel like i constantly have to apologize, despite knowing that's not the case here. i just, as i'm sure a lot of us have had far too many bad experiences and guilt trips around not being on as much as i’d like in past rps, that i over apologize and worry i’ll be left out...but that’s definitely not the case here! but i do feel bad for not getting around to everything when i say i will, but this week was my first full week back with work & school, and whilst i’m very fortunate to be studying and working in a field i love and am passionate about, it is one that does exhaust me ( early childhood education / kindergarten...though not american kindergarten? ), so often, my evenings end up being eating dinner, napping, watching some show or two and sleeping again, because i just genuinely don’t have the energy ! 

i’m hoping though, that once my body becomes more accustomed to this new routine, because before spring break, i wasn’t working as much ! that i’ll be able to be on more regularly, but it’s definitely taking some adjusting too and i apologize for not being as present and reaching out to people in the way i would like to ! it’s certainly not because i don’t want to talk to anyone, but children, especially from 0-6 are exhausting, no matter how much i love it !

Location: Jellyfish Lagoon

@mouthpiecetv

One thing she admired most, and took plenty of delight in, was watching a troop of dolphins jump in the wake made by a local ferry taking tourists from the mainland to the Jellyfish Lagoon. On occasion, she would swim beneath them. She would listen to their delightful song, as sound traveled terribly fast through the ocean, and she would watch where the dolphins would go after the ferry stopped. 

When the beaches of the lagoon found themselves populated by the curious, Lily would raise her head above water and watch them. On a good day, she would be mistaken for a mermaid, or for someone enjoying the water in costume. She would engage in the briefest of conversation with a young child, and then another with a curious young woman who appeared her age. She would then dip back under the water and venture away, restarting the process with a new group in a different spot of the lagoon.

Here she was, in a spot illuminated by the sun, her arms resting on a warm rock, bioluminescent jellyfish swarming behind her.

“You there!” For all the effort required into mustering up her voice, she hoped the passerby would hear her the first time. She bided her time until someone heard her, smiling softly at the slightest bit of attention. “First time in the lagoon?”

Though Nessie was becoming more and more acquainted with the town, it was still relatively new to them. But, Nessie was happy to be in the town, something about it felt like home in a way that they couldn’t quite put their finger on, but perhaps it was having a pack that understood what and who they’d become, better than their mother ever would. Not to mention, one that accepted them. That, and after becoming a medical examiner, they were able to provide more for them all. 

But, being locked inside all day, in a dark, cold, lifeless room meant that Nessie took advantage of the time they had off and went outside, exploring, finding new places each day. The place, San Paradiso after all, had plenty to offer in the form of nature. Whilst most found themselves wandering the pier. 

That afternoon, however, the heat was getting the best of them, and Nessie found themselves walking in the direction of the nearest beach, taking in a deep breath as the fresh coastal breeze brushed by. The clean, fresh, salty-sweet air a welcomed change. So much so, that Nessie debated taking a dip into the water after slipping out of their shoes and dipping the tips of their toes into the water, sighing at the refreshing, cool water. 

“Huh?” Nessie questioned, turning their head at the voice that erupted from the sea, half-wondering if it was someone in need of a hand, having swam out too far. Peering over with a narrowed gaze, Nessie just barely made out the head peeking out from the water, noting the smile, they allowed themselves to relax. “Was it that obvious?” Nessie countered, a smile of their own mirroring Lily’s.

setting: a picnic table outside of STILL PARK

twenty one days– mercury wouldn’t be in retrograde for another twenty- one freaking days. not even a month ! and yet Go couldn’t help but feel her entire world start spinning on a different axis. mercury, the planet of communication, the mind, intelligence, and connection– the fastest moving celestial body in our sky, hadn’t ruined her routine. she couldn’t blame anyone really.

her heart still feels raw– it’s a reopened wound from seeing a casket that was a little smaller than her mother’s. it’s what she can’t get out of her head as her stomach churns the bubblegum ice cream she’d taken a measly bite of. though her head was in the clouds, it all felt like nothing but foreboding calm before the storm. “Do you think that one looks like a Frank N Furter?–“ she clears her throat. “Not like a hot dog… I mean in like, the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Do you see the outline of the hair? Fluffy and–“ setting the cup of ice cream down she shakes her head. “Never mind. It’s stupid right.” she offers an explanation for her outburst, “It’s just me and my…” labels were confusing, “Me and a person I used to know would stay up all night and watch the clouds form… in the morning” not having that friend anymore was breaking her current routine. 

Morning classes had flown by and out of the blue, Avani had gotten a notification that their last class of the day was cancelled. Not that Avani would ever complain on a day such as the one before her, she instead picked up a smoothie on her way to the park and decided to take advantage of the sun that was beaming down and find a bench that wasn’t occupied and lean back, taking the occasional sip from her smoothie. It was the perfect treat, to escape the thoughts that played at the back of her mind. Specifically, the thoughts Avani’s mother had plagued her mind with constantly of late; you need to find yourself a husband, your wasting your time studying, you have a job and so forth. For Avani, though, working at the Inn wasn’t a dream to her. Quite the opposite. Sure, she was grateful for it, and adored her family, but she wanted more. 

Though, despite this, it was impossible to deny her connection and love for the sky, and she adored that part of her and so, with a few hours to spare, she soaked in the rays, watching the clouds roll by, occasionally smiling as she debated whether or not to toy with their abilities then and there. Surely, no one was paying attention. In true, Avani fashion, her music changed to David Bowie, and in doing so, altered the shape of clouds to match. But then, hearing a muffled voice over the sound of her earphones, she tugged one out and grimaced as the shape of the cloud got messy, but decided to play innocent. One can never be too careful. 

“I can kind of see it, though I was getting more of a David Bowie vibe, so I don’t think you’re completely off and please it’s not stupid. The sky is a wonderous masterpiece and one should absolutely stay up every once in a while to  bask in its glory, but perhaps, that’s just me talking. My parents said I always had a way with the sky,” she half-joked, unable to resist the small chuckle that spilled out. “I’m not sure who this person is, but maybe it’s their way to communicate with you from wherever they may be, to let you know they’re okay,” she considered with a small shrug. 

[brewedawakeniing]

so, i just embarrassed myself in front of one of the families i babysit for...i was a month early for a gig, but they were so nice about it and invited me in and sat down and talked to me...at least it was the family i can laugh about with and at least it was a month early as opposed to a month late  😂

anyway, now that i’m not babysitting tonight, i’m going to nap and then dive into my drafts after since i have a lot more evening than i thought i would !

03: Do you regret anything? (all muses)

                     70 𝙝𝙤𝙧𝙧𝙞𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙦𝙪𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨. 

                                               ( meme ) 

( ☾✰ ⊹)  ─── avani. 

“I think if anyone says they don’t regret a thing, they’re lying. We’ve all done things and later looked back on them and thought, oh I shouldn’t have done that,” Avani spoke truthfully, before contemplating over the question. “But if you’re asking for my biggest regret is spending so much of my childhood working at the Inn. This isn’t to say I don’t love the place, I do and I love my family, but I feel I missed out on a lot of life, and building relationships with my peers, because I was always busy with making sure my family was happy with me. It would’ve been nice to find a balance, something I’m trying to do more of now.” 

( ⚞ ● ⚟ )  ─── carlos.

“I’m sure you would love to know the answer to that, use it against me?” Carlos countered, narrowing his gaze at the other. “I regret a couple things, sure, most recently, I regret not inviting you to the ring and teaching you a thing or two about respect and boundaries.” 

the thing i regret most is disappointing my family and being shut out from them, though i still talk to some members, it’s not the same. i miss them.

❪ (㇏(•̀ᵥᵥ•́)ノ) ❫  ───  kai. 

“I did, once, but after living for centuries, I’ve learned it’s best not to dwell on regrets or things others may look at as immoral and assume I regret. It’s simply not worth my time or energy to regret a thing.” 

“However, I do sometimes regret not taking credit for some of the great works, such as Edgar Allan Poe’s. Not to say I didn’t enjoy his company, but with him being dead, what good does it do him having credit?”

❪ 🐺 ☾*✲⋆ ❫  ─── nessie.

“Quite a few, if I’m being honest. But I think my biggest is not doing more that night my father and I were attacked, maybe he’d still be alive and I wouldn’t have become the spitting of image of distress for my mother.” Nessie admitted, not having expected themselves to be so honest, but they had nursed a couple glasses of whiskey before being asked. “I do also regret the way we left things, and I wish I still had a relationship with her, but I guess that’s not solely on me. After all, there was only so much a nine year old could do against a species they hadn’t even known existed.”
