@oftimeslostlongago Robin for Rapunzel - ’ you know, the greatest loves of all time are over now. ’

"i wouldn't say that," rapunzel shook her head as she looked at the other. rapunzel was a believer, a dreamer, somebody that believed in true love's kiss and happiness. even though she couldn't recall her past, she did still believe in magic. "i think that there are still many great loves and that there is happiness in the world," maybe she was a bit too optimistic, but she did love the idea of all of this. she was a hopeless romantic and dreamed that one day she'd find true love and her own happy ending, not knowing that she'd gotten it once before.

"well, i'm from paris, which isn't exactly different from here. it was beautiful, i lived over my parents' bakery. it wasn't too much different from what i'd done here, to be honest. i was just younger when i lived there," marinette explained with a grin. "where are you from?" the way she'd been talking made it seem like she wasn't from this planet, but marinette didn't say anything about that just yet. "oh, sure!" mari nodded and slowly sat down, dipping her feet into the pool. now, as she got a bit more comfortable, she looked at the other. "so are you from... this planet?" she questioned carefully.

"where are you from?" love questioned before clarifying a little more. "what was your home like, i mean? everyone seems to be from places that are so different from each other. a lot of them are even from one planet too which is totally crazy! like this planet? it has so many different types of places." she rambled as she wiped pool water off of her face, climbing out. "that's okay! would you like to sit on the edge? put your feet in?" love offered as she wrapped her towel tightly around herself. @midnxghtrain

"i hope not, in that case. no kid deserves bullying." he'd been bullied in the past, though at this moment he couldn't quite remember it. maybe that was a good thing that he didn't. though losing that memory came at the expense of forgetting the man he'd been in love with since he was young. "jack daniels tozier. imagine," he chuckled and shook his head. "i guess it's better than richard wentworth," he added with a laugh. god, he'd hated his full name. his government name, as he called it. "parents really don't think about the damage they cause with what they name their children, huh?"

"WELL, THAT'S A GOOD THING FOR YOU, THEN," lynn smiled, looking down at the ground, even if.. well, she didn't particularly feel like smiling, that was for sure. she didn't particularly feel like doing much of anything at all and right now, she knew that very well. right? she wasn't a good parent. she had never been a good parent. she knew that and.. she despised herself for it all the same and right now, she knew that she always would. right? "i'd hope not. she's a good kind. just.. been through a lot." and she hated that. she hated the fact that it seemed as if her daughter was.. well, always escaping her. of course that she did. "jack with the middle name daniels? well, that would be something fun." she found herself grinning, as she nodded a little bit. @midnxghtrain

[midnxghtrain]

marinette bit down on her bottom lip as she looked at the other. she hadn't been there for that, but she didn't feel right saying that it wasn't the reason she was there. "oh, yes! thank you," mari forced a smile as she took a seat, watching the woman with wide eyes. she'd seemed kind enough, so maybe marinette would indeed read the other's book when she got the chance. artists supporting artists, that's what it all came down to. if she was holding a fashion show or something, she would want people to come and view it even if that hadn't been their intentions.

@midnxghtrain

HER CAREER AS A WRITER HAD STARTED EARLY OFF AND... NO, SHE DIDN'T BELIEVE THAT SHE WOULD EVER REGRET IT. would she ever regret the things that had brought her there, though, one could ask? right now, donna knew that she did. it was what she had lost in order to get there that stung and right now, she knew that. but then again.. when was the last time that she allowed herself to think about the past ? when was the last time she had allowed herself to think about it? not now. "good morning. are you here for the book signing with donna sweet? that would be me - we're starting off in about five minutes or so. if you want to take a seat ?"

[midnxghtrain]

rapunzel was supposed to meet friends for drinks after work, but it seemed she'd been a bit early to meet them. she hadn't expected it to be this packed, so as she finally got her way up to the bar, the woman let out a soft sigh. "i'll say. uh could i just get... a shot of vodka for now?" she wasn't too sure how much exactly she would drink, but she knew that she needed something. "this must be the hot spot to go to, huh? given how busy it is tonight," she shook her head, a grin spreading across her face.

DID SHE HAVE ANY EXPERIENCE AS A BARTENDER? no. had she reopened the bar up on an impulse? yes, she had and.. right now, hope knew that she had done it for a reason. she had done it because she couldn't stand being still and because it lead to her thinking when she didn't want to and so, it was best if.. she kept herself busy? right? as of now, she was pretty damn sure about that. NOT TO MENTION THAT THIS PLACE WAS SPECIAL AND.. YES, BEING IN IT ALMOST MADE HER FEEL AS IF EVERYTHING WAS GOING TO BE OKAY AGAIN. almost. "yes! hi, sorry, we're... huh, a little bit crowded tonight! more than i expected, so.. hi, what can i get you?" she was going to have to hire some help, sooner or later, even if.. she was avoiding that part for obvious reasons. of course she was. @walstarterblog

[midnxghtrain]

"i'm not the same man that you think you knew... i mean, i am richie, but not the richie you claim to know. i'm different." richie bit down on his bottom lip, looking at the other sadly. "dude, i'm sorry. i really can't remember. i wish i could, but i can't. i don't know you. i really want to, but i can't." if he could remember who eddie was, he would, to try and make the other happy. "see. i've already let you down, so you might as well just forget about me."

❛  you don't want to know me, i will just let you down.  ❜ (Richie & Eddie K.)

"RICH! RICH, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, MAN? COME ON! it's me! it's eddie! what do you mean you're going to let me down? i just came back, man. i'm standing right here and.. and... what?" eddie didn't know what to think about any of this. he didn't know what to think about the fact that it seemed as if he had been left behind while everyone else - especially richie - moved on and.. oh, he hated it. he really fucking did - more than he had ever been able to express before. right? "can you really look me in the eye and tell me that you don't really remember who i am?" @midnxghtrain

[midnxghtrain]

steve paused as the other man said that. his eyebrows furrowed, squinting at the other. "yeah, uh... how did you know that?" was it written all over his face? the way the other male had said that got steve thinking. could other people tell? "shit, is it that obvious? i didn't think that anybody could tell stuff like that." steve shook his head quickly. "sorry, i've been trying to be in, like, a better mood or something. but it isn't working, i guess."

@midnxghtrain

"YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH SOMETHING BAD IN THE PAST. haven't you?" he wondered, finding himself raising an eyebrow at that, because... yes, michael knew these things. always had, always would and... right now, he didn't see that changing anytime soon. people had certain auras that were impossible to ignore and yes, they were quite easy to read. to him, at least. right? "it's written all over your face." he commented, titling his head to the side, as he observed the other closely.

[midnxghtrain]

"no, not mature. i- that's not what i meant, don't put words into my mouth," steve shook his head, running his hand down his face. when the other said that he had plenty more days of charming people, steve shrugged. "yeah, i'm not sure about that, but still. i think i'd rather just be on my own for a while, i think." he gave another shrug as he sighed. "uh, well... i was kind of a dick back in high school and the friends that i'd hang around were assholes. we kinda... treated people badly. once i realized that, i stopped talking to them. best decision i'd ever made."

"are you saying that dumb teenagers who hold parties at their parents houses so they can drink and fuck... are mature people?" mysaria questioned with a raise of her brows. "how come? you're young. i'm sure you have plenty more days of charming young women and men. can't turn off that tap just yet, dear." she teased with a wink and a chuckle. mysaria nodded. "appreciate it." she let out a hum of approval as she took a drink. she looked at the other. "wrong people? how so?" mysaria hadn't expected to be engaging in conversations tonight but... it was better than wallowing by herself, right? @midnxghtrain

“I don’t mind it too much given I’ve always been this way and I don’t wish to change who I am” Miles mused looking at the other before his eyes went wide “Of course you are, I just speaking more towards an art style instead of weird creeper way?” his words fell from his mouth faster then he could actually keep up with. “It’s alright, everyone has their reasons, has it been weird? Did something happen?” he questioned after all he wouldn’t have put it past Miguel to antagonize the woman even if was clear she didn’t remember. “Nice to meet you Gwen, I’m Miles”   @midnxghtrain​

“i don’t know, i just... do you ever feel like you don’t belong somewhere?” she asked in a soft voice, biting her bottom lip before looking over at him. she didn’t feel like she actually fit in there in london and quite frankly, it was giving her a weird feeling lately. “it’s nice to meet you too, miles.” gwen couldn’t quite place why that name sort of rang a bell, but she shook it off. “are you from here, miles?” she questioned him, tilting her head to the side. gwen wasn’t from here, she knew that much, but she didn’t know of her previous life where she was a hero. or traitor, depending on how you look at it.

[midnxghtrain]

"dude, you're the one that just started attacking me with your words out of the blue! i don't know you. at all. i didn't take anything away from you!" gwen didn't know why this miguel guy was so insistent that she ruined his life. "you need to leave me alone, dude. i'm not having a good day today and you're actually making it worse!' gwen was sick of these people pretending like they knew her and she'd caused their lives to go wrong or whatever.

’ even on my worst day, did i deserve all the hell you gave me? ’ (gwen for miguel) @midnxghtrain

"ARE YOU FUCKING WITH ME RIGHT NOW?" miguel roared, shaking his head, because... no, he didn't know how it was that she could be here. she had taken everything away from him and the anger that came with that.. it had never gone anywhere. perhaps it never would be. jess... jess didn't know him and yes, it was all because of her. she and the boy - they were the ones who had ruined everything and no, they were never going to be forgive for that, as far as he was concerned. "you took everything from me, gwen. you took everything from me and i am never going to forgive you for that. i was... i was not happy but i had everything. you took it away."

[midnxghtrain]

lcvenderhcze​:

“OKAY. OKAY, THAT’S… THAT’S FINE, I GUESS?” was it fine? no, he couldn’t say that it was or that it ever would be, because.. he missed richie. he missed the richie that he knew and he missed the richie that he loved and right now, he knew that would not be changing anytime soon. “i can go on a date. yeah, i’d love that. i should let you know, though, that.. we’ve never been on a date before. we were just.. friends.” even if.. in so many ways? they had never been just friends and yes, he knew that. “sounds good. let’s make it happen, then?” oh, he was nervous. more than nervous. @midnxghtrain

richie grinned as he looked at the other, glad that he had agreed to go on a date. “just friends? are you sure? i mean, i'm pretty irresistible. and i definitely would have been attracted  to you.  he told eddie with a small smirk. he couldn't help the way he flirted with the other. it felt like natural instinct. "sorry, okay, i'll stop with that. do you maybe want to go now? or do you need to go and get ready? he asked as he narrowed his eyes at the other. he thought that eddie looked fine right now the way that he was. honestly, eddie probably always looked good, but he couldn't say for sure. he'd only known the other for like two minutes max.

[midnxghtrain]

steve sighed and shook his head. it didn't matter now, he had moved on. well, maybe not fully, but still. "it's fine, nance. i get it, we weren't meant to be. i was an ass," he would never forgive himself for how he acted, how he treated everybody. "i never stopped caring about you, either. and for the record, i'm not mad about the way things all went down." he would have dumped himself, too. "all that stuff that happened in hawkins was fucked up. i'm glad that here we have a chance to start over and forget about it."

’ it took you five whole minutes to pack us up and leave me with it, holding all this love out here in the hall. ’ (steve for nancy) / @midnxghtrain

"Steve..." Her voice trailed off. What could she say? He was right. She'd left him quickly, but as time went on, she'd ended up regretting it. She had just never had the chance to explain why why she'd left so quickly. Why she'd found comfort in Jonathan instead of the one he had been there for her time and time again already. "There's so much I never said to you. So much that I've wanted to explain. We were just always in such... messed up situations that I never got the chance." Back home, they had started spending more time together again, but their main focus had been defeating Vecna. "I never stopped caring about you, you know."

Was she serious with that? Inviting a perfect stranger to know where her home was? Well he had no intentions of actually hurting her, at the moment he was just trying to figure out what she knew or didn’t know. She’d never really been a threat, but he needed to ensure there was no one here that knew what he’d done. Or rather what Elsa and Anna claimed he’d done… which was true, but why let anyone know that. “If you’re sure” he replied, knowing better to give her the choice. “Lead the way”.

@midnxghtrain

rapunzel didn’t mind, she was extremely trusting of strangers until they gave her reason to not. she grabbed the last item she needed and lead him to the checkout line. “the walk isn’t too far from here, it’ll take max five minutes to get to where i live,” she informed hans with a smile. maybe she shouldn’t have been that trusting especially with him, but she didn’t know of the past, what he’d done to elsa and anna. “what kind of food are you feeling?” she questioned.

[midnxghtrain]

"i don't think you're annoying," marinette shook her head, furrowing her eyebrows as she looked to the other. she sort of felt bad that the other saw herself that way. "i guess you're right, but finding the one that's right for you is so fulfilling," she said in a soft voice. "hey, do you wanna bake cookies? maybe get your mind off of this and stuff?" she asked, raising an eyebrow at her. she wanted to help cheer the other up just a little.

It had to be what she believed. She had always been cautious with her own heart, she'd watched her friends being used too many times, and she didn't want to fall into the same circumstance. Protect her heart, and she'd be able to carry on and do her job. "Oh I doubt it, if nothing else I am very, very annoying. Besides, there's more to life than love" least that sort of love, she did love her friends.

"sorry, it just... it looked like more than just a dance." she admitted to the other, shaking her head. "i won't say anything to anybody, so you don't need to worry about that." gwen wasn't the type that would snitch, especially if the other girl said it was nothing. it wasn't her business and she wasn't trying to go around and create any kind of drama. "oh speaking of dance-- i missed a couple of lessons, so maybe you could help me catch up?" she'd joined dance again and due to some things coming up, she'd missed a few classes.

i saw you dance with him. ( @midnxghtrain )

      gina  felt  herself  getting  defensive  over  the  other  girl’s  words.  dancing  was  part  of  her  profession,  meaning  she  could  dance  with  a  man  and  it  wouldn’t  mean  a  thing  to  her.  her  heart  belonged  to  another  anyway. ❛ it’s  just  a  dance,  gwen.  it  doesn’t  mean  anything, ❜ gina  scoffed.  ricky,  her  boyfriend  from  home,  had  a  jealous  streak  so  the  last  thing  she  needed  was  gwen  creating  anymore  unnecessary  drama  in  her  life. ❛ i’m  in  love  with  ricky.  you  remember  the  boy  i  was  telling  you  about,  right  ? ❜ she  reminds  gwen,  but  it  seemed  more  like  gina  was  trying  to  convince  herself  that  her  words  are  genuine.  

[midnxghtrain]

"nah, my parents were the coolest, i think," he had some memory of them, but not much. he just remembered that his mom always baked cookies for him and his dad always worried about how much sugar he consumed. it's bad for your teeth, he remembered his dad telling him. his dad had been a dentist. "corbett? damn, the bullying she'd endure." he joked and shook his head. he hoped kids wouldn't bully the girl for her name, but he knew kids were vicious, especially since they had access to the internet in this day and age. "i don't think i'd be any better at naming people. i'd probably name a kid something like vodka or jack with the middle name daniels," he joked and shook his head.

"SERIOUS QUESTION NOW - DID YOUR PARENTS HATE YOU?" lynn commented, finding herself grinning a little bit, because.. yes, it was about time that she leaned how to do that again. how to laugh. right? it had been something that she hadn't done in so long and yes, she could say that she had quite missed it, that was for sure. she had. of course that she did. "well, i'd never turn down the chance to have a good laugh." of course she wouldn't, because... yes, that was necessary for everyone. yes? "well, i named my daughter corbett, so... i could say that i'm not good at the naming thing either." she attempted to joke, wanting to.. well, leave the past behind. right? @midnxghtrain

[midnxghtrain]

rapunzel let out a soft chuckle before nodding quickly. she began to lead the other woman toward the first place her laptop could possibly be. "okay, maybe it's in here," she said when they reached the library. she bit down on her bottom lip and slowly opened the door, as if afraid that something bad would happen if she opened it quickly. "i really hope it's in here. i hate the feeling of sneaking around," she whispered to her. rapunzel crept into the empty library, her heart racing as she looked around. she hated the feeling of doing things that could get her in trouble.

"And you will. You work so hard for it, you will do it" that she had seen. She had never seen anyone work that hard, not in things similar to this. She had worked hard for her job, and to maintain that lifestyle, but it hadn't involved studying. "Lead the way" she replied, not really knowing where she was going. "Oh I will definitely take you up on that darling, but let's move quickly".
