* VIVIENNE ZHANG / AGENT PANDORA .
DRESSING UP ---- IT REMINDED VIVIENNE of her past life . attending these press events hiding underneath THE VEIL of a charity ball . she opted out of attending & remained in the warehouse instead . she looked at her fellow agents , ❝ don’t look at me , director wolfe didn’t tell me ANYTHING beyond the mission brief we all got . i have NO IDEA what petrov looks like . ❞
* 000. OPEN STARTER ↷ MERCY EVENT ONE !
alaric sucks in a deep breath through his nose and lets it out as a sigh . with his slightly crooked bow tie and black suit jacket , it was clear that he was supposed to be at the party with the REST of the tactical agents — but he had been harboring an uneasy feeling since he left headquarters , making him antsy and unable to stay in ONE SPOT . ❝ something about this doesn’t feel right , pandora ,❞ he mutters , brows furrowed and the nail of his thumb between his teeth . or maybe he just didn’t enjoy the idea of leaving his SON behind .

* GRIFFIN HADLEY / AGENT WHISTLER .
the lights are dimmed and blinds drawn closed so no light passes through them, usually neat pile of files pushed to the side. where work ought to be being done is instead griffin, head resting on folded arms on his desk, eyes shuttered half-closed above the dark stain of sleeplessness that mars his face. he has work to do, but all of the more pressing issues have been finished. papers sent off to the right people. emails drafted. the person in an office downstairs is listening to something on their computer - music, all tinny and distant through the speakers - and the offices to his left and right house people typing away at computers. nothing too abrasive to listen to, but he’d started the day with the grating noise of some very loud junior agents getting a touch too rowdy in the hall outside of his room. not that it had woken him up, but it was enough to make the space behind his eyes sharp and prickling. the quiet of the tactical division is a welcome escape. quiet enough that the sound of footsteps in the hall is the loudest thing here and draws griffin’s attention. even moreso when they suddenly stop, turn, and head back the direction they came before stopping in front of his door. at least he has time to brace himself for the knock. “ - come in,” he calls, voice soft but loud enough to be heard, but not before he’s righted himself and put a file in front of him so it at least looks like he wasn’t just trying to doze off in the middle of the day.
there’s a brief pause before alaric hears the magic words and as soon as he does one hand is already on the knob , twisting and pushing agent whistler’s door ajar . he pokes his head in first , green hues attempting to scan the scene before him . it’s dark — darker than he had expected and so his eyes have to work a little harder than usual but after only a few seconds , alaric already has a relatively clear understanding of what was going on — or in this case , the lack thereof . dim lighting , griffin’s bleary eyes , not to mention the slight indents on his one cheek , he had been resting . he was a hard worker , alaric knew , so really , he felt more guilty than angry for walking in on him like this . ❝ i apologize for bothering you , ❞ the older begins curtly , lips pursed . ❝ i just — uh , wanted to check in on your progress with .. those new mission reports , ❞ his chin tilts upwards and alaric tries not to be too obvious with the fact that he’s studying him . trying to see how he is without actually asking because , well , alaric had never really been good with that sort of stuff to begin with , much less with a topic so personal to himself . quickly , he decides that a more vague question would be best , at least for now . ❝ are you .. alright ? ❞ he asks slowly , uneasily .

* CAROLINE BLAIR / AGENT NYX .
“it’s no bother at all, i promise,” she assures him, a soft smile settling on her lips as she bridges the distance between them, pressing one hand up against his arm. the pain fades first, of course, though the heat remains for a long moment before slowly fading to room temperature. she supposes it might be an odd sensation for someone not used to feeling things so individually, but she also knows it’s better for the body not to change temperatures too fast - even the perception of temperature. “better?”
they had never crossed paths before and so alaric doesn’t recognize her at first , know what she can do . up until now , agent nyx had just been a name on a file , another field agent . so when she reaches out for his arm , he almost takes an instinctive step back — but it’s too late and alaric practically JUMPS at the unfamiliar sensation . quickly , he realizes what she’s exactly doing and therefore , who she is . ❝ i — yes , thank you .. agent nyx . ❞ he bristles slightly , still attempting to regain his composure . ❝ i didn’t realize that that’s what you meant , by helping . but thank you , ❞ alaric repeats as he gives her a small , grateful nod .

* STARTER FOR @spymomz !
out of all the damn tactical agents in this division , it really had to be him . he had tried his best to subtly pass off the order to a nearby colleague , or even to some junior agent looking for some extra brownie points , but alas , to no avail . apparently , he didn’t have enough on his plate and so here he was , grumbling bitterly to himself as he made his way down to the living facilities . specifically , AGENT VENUS’ room . reaching her door , he gave his jacket a quick smooth over and forced his features into a little less than irritated expression before giving it a double knock .

* A STARTER FOR @soundkept !
with purposeful strides and a handful of folders , alaric makes his way down one of the many hallways of the tactical division . usually he tends to keep his head down , preferring to avoid any sort of interaction with his colleagues — eye contact included . but his steady pace slows as he passes an office he knows belongs to a particular agent . one day , he should really just tell the man to get over it . but really , he knows that he’d never . alaric knows what he’s been through ( he’s read the file ) — he understands that he’s GRIEVING . something that he’s more familiar with than he’d prefer . so alaric forces himself to be more patient around whistler , to be a little bit more compassionate than he’s allowed himself to be as of late . and with pursed lips , the man turns on his heel to face his door and gives it a brief but clear rap .

* CAROLINE BLAIR / AGENT NYX .
“i can help with that, if you let me,” cara says, voice gentle as she nods her head towards their injury. it’s in her nature to want to help, especially when she knows that a lot of agents are a little too stubborn to go to the biomed department for anything less than a mortal wound. “at least long enough for some ibuprofen to kick in. you won’t feel a thing, i promise.”
the hot liquid splashes against the front of his shirt and alaric has to stop himself from CRYING OUT . instead , he hisses softly through his teeth and silently flinches at the pain . understandably distracted , he had almost missed the woman’s offer to help . he looks up at the last minute , just as she finishes her attempt at persuasion and INSTINCTIVELY , lips part to immediately DECLINE her offer . but he hesitates , giving another quick glance at himself before reluctantly nodding . ❝ if .. it’s no bother , ❞ the older finally answers with a grimace .

hewwo i’m lily ( sixteen , she / her , mst ) & i’m super excited to be here !! honestmeme ,, at this point i’ve run out of funny & endearing things to say so lemme just get straight to it & introduce y’all to dumb hoe #1 , alaric romero !! i have a stats page for him here and some xtra info under the cut !
! ✰ ° — [ RAUL ESPARZA, CISMALE, HE/HIM ] alaric romero, aka agent honey is a forty seven year old tactical agent that has been loyal to mercy for twelve years. they have a reputation of being the enigma because they can be determined & righteous. but let’s not forget they’re pretty reticent & aloof. if you listen closely you can hear my way by frank sinatra whenever they walk past. ( rolled up sleeves, late nights, furrowed brows, empty apartments. )
background
tw death , also i rlly love this man so this is going to be some headass shit im srry ..
born in detroit michigan , alaric was a real rags to riches story . from juggling different jobs in his adolescence to help support his family , he built a name for himself as one of michigan’s top prosecutors . at the age of thirty five , he was a sure winner for the title of district attorney . the first step of many if he were to become the next attorney general of the united states — everything had been going according to plan . but it was around the same time as this that he was also invited to join the mercy division .
being the type to enjoy creating and sticking with plans , this was a more than difficult decision for alaric . eventually , he accepted mercy’s offer , knowing that through this he’d still be helping the public , just with a more hands on approach . upon joining , he went straight to the position of tactical agent . even as a child , he’d never been quite as physically adept as others but it wasn’t just that , alaric always did have a knack for strategic thinking and being two steps ahead of his peers .
when the attack on mercy occurred , alaric mourned the loss of his friends as well as his husband , donovan davenport . they had met during their years at college , becoming close friends and eventually more . they have one child together who had joined mercy as well , but now he has been trying to deter them from staying .
personality
though he is known to be more abrasive , alaric’s heart is in the right place . usually he’s just standoffish in the sense that he’s reclusive and quiet — it’s really only recently that he’s turned into a grade a dick , specifically after his husband’s death . witty quips had become sardonic comments that bordered on rude , his impatience wears thin and suddenly he’s abrupt and blunt . alaric is somewhat aware of his ... shitty behaviour , which is why he tends to just avoid people altogether .
more of a sheep in wolf’s clothing , it’s not exactly difficult to push past the hard exterior , alaric’s compassion makes him quick to show his support for those in need and he really does care for others — it’s the reason he joined mercy in the first place . his hard exterior is just .. tricky to navigate . you have to push the right buttons . but once he’s grown to care for someone , alaric would go through hell and back for them , no questions asked .
also .. he called honey cause #irony and also selina like to clown :/
