muse-based dash game: do not reblog. copy & paste!

objective: show your followers you see them by tagging 10 (or more) people your muse(s) personally want to get to know better. this can be taken as an invitation to approach a mun for plot development.

favorite color(s): sage green is definitely up there along with baby blue and baby pink, especially considering she keeps her hair dyed pink. while her wardrobe consists of neutrals or browns, but she has a strong admiration for softer colors.

what’re they wearing right now?: she just got back home from a late-evening piano tutoring for their neighbor's daughter, so she's wearing short black heels, form-fitting grey trousers and a somewhat overly tight white button-up, hair neatly tied back into a long braid. definitely takes the heels off as soon as she enters the home, lol.

where are they at currently?: home, probably about to cook dinner for her and her brother, emerson. definitely texting her boss that she isn't coming tonight because she's worked the past four days in a row and did overtime for each shift.

song stuck in their head: i swear i'll never leave again by keshi. she says it speaks to her, lol

last song they listened to: cruise control by lyn lapid.

3 favorite foods: she adores pho. like, loves it bad, lmao. she also adores making beef short rib stew with potatoes and carrots, normally pairing it with white rice. lastly, a favorite that's been growing on her is fried pork belly as emerson has been obsessed with it lately.

dream trip: back to their home in anahola. she wants to visit their childhood home and see if she can figure out what really caused their mother t disappear and their father to shut himself in. she also misses the sun desperately, misses being near the beach everyday.

anything your muse wants right now: mochi. craves it as a late-night dessert sometimes when she's feeling peckish.

favorite personal headcanons: - once when nora had a really bad sleepwalking episode, emerson saw her standing in a tree, in her pajamas and fast asleep, just standing on a branch and holding onto nothing. what stood out to him is that he swore he saw a hand on her shoulder, like someone was holding her there. he managed to safely get her down and back home without anyone seeing what was going on, he also hasn’t told nora that happened either. he didn’t wanna scare her. - nora’s connection to water is something truly sinister. while emerson is almost practically latched onto the woods, the forest and the trees, nora is the same way but with water. lakes, river, the ocean, anything. and it’s because her mother died by water soon after she was born.

favorite quote of the hour: you long for his love as you long for mine, but you will have neither.

ㅤㅤㅤ𓆩♡𓆪 oh how could they have been at each others' throats so frequently in the past when this is who she was dealing with? carefully manicured nails begin to dig into the soft surface of the comforter underneath her, softly scratching at it while thoughts swirled in her mind around the subject. of course it wasn't completely nora's decision on whether or not it would be safe to keep vic around but, damn did she wish it was. the simple thought of something horrible happening to her and it being out of her control almost brought on a newfound wave of nausea.

ㅤㅤㅤ❝vic, come on. . ❞ nora cuts herself off as her lips form a thin line to allow her thoughts to properly formulate and let her words settle so she can articulate them without any confusion. ❝you know that's technically not how that works, but . . i get what you're saying. and honestly . . that makes me feel really good. thank you for that.❞

she's never been the optimist — never had a reason to be, and that much hasn't changed. doubtful that it ever will. all she can do is assume that that's the reason why her heart tries to climb into her throat when nora speaks; the cynicism rears its ugly head and has her suddenly afraid she's about to experience a rehash of the early days of their relationship, when it felt like everything was a fight.

maybe her shoulders only just relax when they reach nora's room and she finds that isn't the case. some part of vic will always be ready for the other shoe to drop, and that isn't her partner's fault, not really. years of trauma will do that to you.

slowly, she makes her way to the bed, plops down beside her unceremoniously, heavy like the world is pulling her down. "bad shit's been happening to me my whole life, nora," which isn't going to make anything better, but it's an attempt at expressing that she's used to it, she can handle it. "—it's my choice to get involved, not yours."

❛ is it that i can’t be here, or that i’m not allowed to be here? ❜ @s4lesman questioned.

ㅤㅤㅤ𓆩♡𓆪 her head turns slowly, soft pink strands carefully falling over her shoulder as she the words process through her mind carefully. as her eyes gaze upon the man in the suit with a hint of confusion sprinkling her facial features, there's a slightly harsh comment boiling over in her head. not much was being done to hold it back, unfortunately.

ㅤㅤㅤ❝ . . what the fuck are you even talking about? . . you're a grown man. answer that question yourself.❞ is all she says before turning forward again to take a slow sip of her cocktail drink.

[cinnenora]

❝i said i'm fine, please just drop it.❞ @putregod insisted.

ㅤㅤㅤ𓆩♡𓆪 would it unravel her usual ❛too cool for school❜ demeanor so much so that she felt she wasn't obligated to care too much after such a cemented block of access to farah's internal struggles? correct. even if something in her heart warned her to push a little bit harder to get a bit more of an honest answer from the brunette, the possibility of provoking an irritated reaction was enough to keep her at bay. keep her distanced.

❝ . . cool. ❞ nora's lips press into a thin line as she forces back a string of swears, doing her best to mask the anger bubbling within her as her ego felt slightly bruised from the dismissed attempt at comfort. ❝well, you have my number. i have to get to work, so . . later.❞

ㅤㅤㅤ[ TXT ] : just saw i called you last night. how'd that go? - message received from @putregod

sucking in air through her teeth with a slight grimace on her face, the brightness of her phone almost warranting the cellular device being tossed aside immediately. however, the message that caught her attention was enough to keep her from allowing slumber to tug her back under. with a small groan, it takes a moment for her brain to fully remember what even occurred during the call with farah the evening before but, when it does, a soft warmth begins to spread across her face.

ㅤㅤㅤ[ TXT to farah ] : you're fucking nasty, that's how it went. ㅤㅤㅤ[ TXT to farah ] : just freaky. damn. ㅤㅤㅤ[TXT to farah ] : but. . i'm not complaining. i'm down if you're down.

ring bell for attention // layen2024

[cinnenora]

❛i said please, so technically you have to say yes..❜ @imm0rtalcd stated.

not exactly.

dark eyebrows pull together slightly as confusion sweeps across her nora's face, displaying evidence of how the statement truly was lost upon her. her hands found their way to rest on her hips before a few strands of pink hair dangle in front of her face as she tilts her head to the side, annoyance quickly replacing the confusion.

❛. . does that normally work on people?❜ is all she gives her in return.

[cinnenora]

i wanna write — let me plot with u or smth pls

[cinnenora]

[ shrug ] @huntedvideo overexaggerates a shrug to show nora he doesn't know what's going on.

❛. . are you fucking with me right now?❜

voice raised, shoulders tensed and eyes wide with irritation soaring through her veins is enough to show how difficult this situation has been for her to truly grasp. nothing about what was happening to her was normal, yet nora couldn't stop trying to force it to be exactly that.

❛ my brother didn't contact you to give me the same answer everyone else is giving me, okay? you have an entire youtube channel based on shit like this. this is your territory of knowledge, right? you have to tell me what's going on with us, please, i am begging you because i don't have any other options. .❜

her voice slowly comes to a lower volume, anger simmering into a small spark of simple frustration. she clenches her fists around the fabric of her cardigan, attempting to ground herself and gather her emotions before she truly scares away the one person she believes can help her with this . . cursed life they live.

soon, a deep sigh comes out before she chooses her next words carefully considering most people don't explode in front of strangers without explanation. ❛. . i'm sorry . . i'm sorry. i'm terrified of what's happening to us. and what's to come in the future, because things keep getting worse and worse. the day he contacted you or your people or whatever . . he found me standing neck-deep in the lake. he said i must have been sleepwalking and ended up there. every year . . it's like things are getting worse. and after what that woman said last year, i can't pretend nothing's going on with us. so . . i am begging you, and i am so sorry for coming off so strong, but we need something. anything. please.❜

[cinnenora]

❛ bored with me already? ❜ @s4lesman inquired.

❛ bored isn't the word i would use but , okay.❜

nora has felt unease ever since she first laid eyes on him, since he first showed up to town. unfortunately, it didn't get any better when her brother suddenly disappeared without word and this new town resident kept a disgustingly charming smile on his face whenever she spotted him. after too many shared glances, she gave in to the pull she was feeling and mustered up the courage to say something. and what a challenge that has been.

❛ . . why aren't you answering my question about why you're here? . . no one just suddenly moves to town and then someone else disappears at the same time, that doesn't just happen without some weird . . or shady shit going on. and my brother doesn't do shady, so what's your story?❜

while there wasn't any genuine proof to tie him into the reason her brother was nowhere to be found, it would be ignorant of her to ignore the coincidental nature of the events that were unfolding as of late. along with her suspicions, this irritatingly calm demeanor of his didn't make her feel any less frustrated with his presence.
