[ closed starter for @eternvls — mollie's home ]

◖◗ — " just pick something , you'll look great no matter what you wear " even with the compliment , her tone came off clipped . she didn't mean it , but it'd been nearly an hour of this — if nadia had known mollie would be so indecisive , she would've asked ines to go with her ( a lie ) . maybe it wouldn't have been so bad if nadia had brought a change of clothes with her , but alas , hark , and all the other dramatic bullshit , she'd come dressed — like she'd expected mollie to be when nadia arrived in the car . it wasn't a super fancy event , dinner and a talk . but , a congressman nadia was interested in would be attending , so nadia would be too . he just needed some sweet talking , a little convincing that anunnaki had new york's best interests at heart . who doesn't like curing sick babies ??? " what's wrong with the green one ? i thought you liked the green one ? "

◖◗ it had been a hard week . the judicial review had worked out in anunnaki's favour ❪ surprise , surprise ❫ which had given the department the means to get a whole slog of other cases on the backlog thrown out . they had all worked hard these last few months , so nadia'd let some of the juniors ' convince ' her to join them for drinks uptown — a well-deserved break . the alcohol && weariness combo gave nadia time to think , so she'd made her excuses early and made her way to a local joint she hadn't been to in years . there were no booths left , so nadia sat alone near the door — overdressed for the venue and picking at her meal like a child who'd been presented with a plate of veggies . funny , she'd used to love this , but she didn't have much of taste for anything nowadays — it all just tasted like ash . eventually , she got tired of picking , retrieved her bag from the chipped burgundy pleather seats , and left . that's where it all started to go wrong . she didn't want to go home yet , so she strolled for a while, the rhythmic tap of her heels echoing sharply on the pavement . eventually , she ends up in a familiar area , the wrong area , actually . one that she doesn't belong in , anymore . ' it was stupid to zone out like that , ' she chides . she orders an uber while her phone still has battery , plopping herself down on a stoop to wait. across the street , she spots him . and her heart stops . it takes a second to think logically . " it's you . " the traitorous little voice , willing to give up all she's worked for , wants to call out . " isn't it about time you get a new pair of gloves ? " a more fond , familiar voice chimes in . for a fleeting moment , her brown eyes lock onto his — so , so blue . memories flood her , fuzzy && molten , but sensible nadia steps in , staring into her lap and pretending she'd never seen him at all . he'd never had good eyesight , not while she'd known him , at least — hopefully he hadn't recognised her .

background //

if you were to ask director gray how she got to where she is now , she would say a chip on her shoulder and a lot of hard fucking work . she would not be entirely incorrect . who else but the crow could go from picking at dust-covered scraps of scraps to soaring across the skyline , the elite of the elite . who , other than she , would leave the only family they'd ever known , twice ? once , nadia gray was the crow . fixer , planner , soldier , spy . relentless collector of shiny and forgotten objects discarded through the desolate wastes . she wasn't always so cold && distant ; she was always cautious - always perched above - you can't assess an enemy when you're facing them head on , you know ? perception does not mean clear-vision . while her plans were clever , nadia could be rash and impulsive - brilliant , but incomplete . still , her fervour and devotion to the cause was one of the few things nobody doubted . it was after she came of age , pushing for one of her plans , someone gave in . a crow-riginal plan straight from the box , unaltered . she was old enough , she came up with all the initial plans anyway , why not ??? it was seven years before she was seen again . by a pariah , at least . nadia ████ - so different and strangely , the exact same . gaunt cheeks grown rosy && full . her love of philosophy replaced with an intense fascination with rules && regulation , a reckless glint grown focused and dangerous . and most of all , the girl . she stuck around three months before the raid . days later , she was on the news as one of the lead solicitors in the anunnaki in-house legal department . years after that ? CLO , baby ! no success without sacrifice . legally , anunnaki has never been more compliant . a few spills here in there - nothing a 2k fine won't fix . all companies have those . underground , whispers persisted of companies , clients , people disappearing when their cases against anunnaki were too strong . nadia gray , anunnaki pharmaceutical's personal attack dog .

familial [0/1] the daughter — you are the light of nadia's life , the apple of her eye , her raison d'etre — you believe that , right ? you may be a little closer to your dad , or maybe you just think it's a little weird that your mom has never mentioned her family to you . either way , a mother's love is unconditional , right ? [0/1] the ex — leaving this mostly empty so we could plot it out . probably the daughter's parent but a misunderstanding from any perspective there could be fun . it's complicated [0/1] the locket — you know something the pariah's don't . maybe you are the only person nadia trusts , in the world — she confided this to you with the genuine believe you'd protect this secret with your life . maybe you dug it up as blackmail , you little weasel . either way , you've got dirt , and she will do anything to keep it hidden . [established muns only please :)] [0/3] the advocates — it's your fault . or at least that's what you tell yourself , and maybe each other ? you wen't along with her stupid fucking plan , and worse ? you got the others to go along with it too . is nadia dead , diseased , or was she always just a sick fuck . [neon pariahs only!! i said 3 bc i have too many /1s but no presh to fill] other i literally want any dynamic u could bring me her jester puppet vendor and i'd be down pleaseeeee plot w me
