         “ how are you so bad at math when you’re an architecture major ? “ jax’s fingers found his forehead, rubbing an upcoming migraine in hopes he could survive. it was a favor for a fellow architecture major, he reminded himself. it’s both difficult and easy to remember that other demigods don’t function in the way he did, but to be fair, he’s useless against a monster attack. there’s barely a second until he speaks again, and he leans his elbows on the library table. “ at this stage, cheat. just . . . cheat. “ @santiagoeu​ .

          elijah is far too drunk to be able to think through the series of events, still doing his best to shake off the lingering anger in him. there’s no real reason to be mad now, especially now that he realizes the target of his anger had turned out to be the wrong person. but now the man in front of him ( jax, apparently ) is crumpled on the floor after elijah served him a punch he most definitely did not deserve. he reaches his hand out for jax to help him back up, mumbling a half-apology. “ sorry, ” he shrugs, “ thought you were someone else. ” @eujax· 

          a brisk, stunning feeling that jax has been here before runs through his bones — it’s either déjà vu, or his fight-or-flight kicking in. “ how is it logistically possible to accidentally punch someone ? “ he stares at elijah’s offered palm before standing up on his own, rotating his jaw to assess the pain level. staring in the eyes of the enemy, a laugh escapes him. “ this happened before. at camp. you punched me on accident. well, as ‘ on accident ‘ as a punch could be. “ air quotes accompany the two words.

did you stream the queen's gambit starring alphie's doppelganger anya taylor joy? how do you feel about the chess community's portrayal?

“ actually, “ jax begins, as if he were awaiting the question. “ the show’s quite accurate. i mean, you could pause at any moment, and it’ll be a real chess set up. the actors even move the pieces accurately, along with the way they hold the pieces in their hands. it’s a real skill — trust me. “ there’s a pause. a head nod. “ the small auditoriums, period accurate timeclocks, the excitement of the match. all perfect. although, no one would ever play better chess under the influence of any drug. i mean, especially a depressant. overall though, i loved it. “

TASK 004. ROOM TOUR.

the fresh smell of cotton, color-organized marker pens, plush pillows, dull lighting, soothing navy blues, a whiteboard wall, piles of books, the glow of a computer screen.

› 01. do they have a room to themselves, or do they have a sibling for a roommate?

jax is either lucky enough or hated enough to have his own bedroom; though, he isn’t sure. the thought of sharing a room with one of his siblings, a space that is so characteristically him, is unnerving. plus, the two giant bearded dragons can be a bit of a turn off for anybody.

› 02. where do they land on the messy vs. organized spectrum?

organized. each item has their specific space: architecture books in one bookshelf, textbooks organized in boxes under the bed, personal reading material stacked beside his computer desk. his markers, pens and pencils are organized by color, his closet by season, and room hidden under the bed to hide messy, random items away. his bed is made once he’s risen, and he’s even built a bookshelf to categorize his comic book collection. although, his sketches and papers often make a mess on his drafting desk or across the floor and walls, but he’s always sure to clean the following morning.

› 03. what does their room say about their personality?

it displays his passions: his book collections — comic, educational, and fictional, his white board wall filled with equations and lists, his drafting desk in one corner, gaming set up in the other. a simple look within his room lays him out clearly, including the shyness and anxiety of the bedroom. it’s oddly unpersonalized, with no personal photos or many trinkets on display. he wouldn’t refuse it if a loved one asked him to hang something up, but he hasn’t gone out of his own way.

› 04. how does their college room compare to their room back home?

his room back home resembles a show room out of a magazine. it was always to be kept neat and appropriate, art pieces on the wall jax never chose himself. black and gray are the decorative color, almost as his mother set him up before he knew it. other than the computer set up he built, the room was a place for him to reside, but never felt like his own home.

› 05. how much time do they spend in their room?

far too much time. when he’s not at work or in class, he spends as much time as possible, gaming or building or working. between his architecture models and his complex mathematics course work, he keeps it all within those four walls. he’ll leave if requested by a friend, but if you need jax, you know where to find him.

› 06. how do they feel about others entering their space?

he’s not a fan. unless it’s someone he fully trusts, it’s uncomfortable and awkward. it’s his space, his favorite place in the world, and the thought of someone entering who may not respect it is disheartening. only his friends and a few siblings are allowed to spend time in his room, but he only has two rules: don’t move anything, and take off your shoes before the door.

› 07. do they often keep the door open or closed?

closed. for obvious reasons. his room is an area of solitude and peace. he never locks the door, except during suspicious activities, because he quite likes a visit from astrid or another friend, even though he won’t admit it.

› 08. have they kept anything from their childhood rooms as adults?

he has a picture of him and his family that he keeps on top of his bookshelf along with his first chess set. he thinks nostalgia is a scam, but he couldn’t leave those items behind even if he wanted. rarely spoken of, his family is important to him, and he enjoys the reminders of his sisters from time to time. as for the chess set, it simply collects dust, but jax will always love the sport.

it’s easier to say “im tired” than “im so sad and lonely i feel like there’s a weight in my chest and my body is so heavy i have no energy emotionally, physically or mentally to even move from my bed”

          “ if the sign says closed, and the blinds are lowered, shop must be closed . . . “ jax’s actions mirror his words, standing at the front of the store. the pair were surrounded by quiet books and their seeing eyes, but the bell on the front door hadn’t cried out in too many minutes. it wasn’t his fault, he imagines saying. it wasn’t his fault he closed rereads an hour early, on a vacant tuesday night. his mind was wrapped around anaïs since their halloween night, in a frightening and intoxicating way, and breaking the rules sometimes is okay . . . right ? his hands easily found their chin, brushing a thumb across her cheek. “ how can you look like that ? and so effortlessly ? “ sighing, he presses a short kiss to their forehead. “ we’ll just close early, so i can stare at you for a couple hours. “ @euanais​ .
