crruelworlds.
DETAILS: ANYWHERE, ANY TIME.
MAYBE IT WAS TOO SOON. The blond of her hair frames her visage during that consideration. MAYBE they weren’t ready to hear this spiel. Each time she thinks that way, another question poses : ( if not now, when ? ) When it’s another member of her family begging for their life ? “ I bet you, two weeks from now, everything will go back to normal. ” Shyness doesn’t surround her when it pertains to the clipboard in hand. The few signatures not enough to outweigh the vulgar artwork drawn by others but there’s pride in her stance. “ A city that normalizes violence like it’s a Youtuber’s morning routine isn’t one I want to live in. Do you ? ”
@crimsonstarters
stella holliday had been an entirely manufactured image ------ despite the ease that she carried it, every move has always been calculated to its core and utilized to complete efficiency - she’d have it trademarked if she didn’t think rita hayworth’s estate wouldn’t file an infringement lawsuit. she’ll make no apologies for her survival skills, but it’s a dangerous thing when the veil is askew and the feral creature beneath gets her time in the spotlight. catching the lounge singer when she’s just left the bedside of the only person she could ever categorize as a loved one, a bundle of exposed nerves, isn’t an endeavor she’d wish on anyone. the clipboard is regarded with a scowl, then promptly ignored. “ and you’re a one woman dynamo, aren’t you ? i bet you think bright pink pussy hats are a roaring statement against the system, too. ” eyebrows arch in unbridled irritation. “ chicago has long been fucked, and if you think your petition is going to accomplish anything except gather dust in the mayor’s unread pile, you’re sorely mistaken, polly pocket. ”

i told you so -------- the words had been bitterly hanging on stella’s tongue when bloodied hands attempted to apply pressure to her wound, so overwhelmed by the frenzied chaos that she could barely register her own pain. those four words were perched and ready as she waited for javier to cross the sea of mayhem to find her, because the man so believed he was untouchable that, for a shining moment, stella bought into it herself. javier leon’s invincible, javier leon hid a body for her and brought flowers home days later, nobody can touch javier leon - and through the blood and agony, she’d spit out i told you so in the hopes they’d forgo the hospital visit and gun it straight out of chicago. finally.
needless to say, that isn’t what happened.
just as she caught sight of him, the familiar warmth in her chest acting as a stirring reminder that she would always turn to him, her world went to black: he’s splattered in crimson, fallen to his knees. stella remembers crying out his name, she remembers crawling to him, and the universe falls hazy afterwards. she didn’t know how long it had been when she awoke later in a hospital bed, only that the pain that had been numbed by her heartache flooded her body. she was bitter and petulant in the interval between taking care of her own health ( useless ) and getting to see javier ( absolutely vital ) ----- stella’s endured pain, physical and emotional, but nothing could compare to the raw heartbreak that coiled deep in her chest, numbed only by a gathering storm of rage that swore she’d set the entirely fucking city on fire if she lost him. she doesn’t know how long it’s been, time becomes meaningless without him to share it with, but it doesn’t stop her from sitting there, tiny hand curled around his large, rough digits, only reminding her that every inch of her missed its counterpart in him. “ wake up. please wake up. javi, please, ” her sobs are quiet, desperate, pleading to be heard. it’s only now that she feels the slow twitch of his response, provoking hopeful, damp blues to lift upwards and gauge his features. “ baby ? ” ------------------- @madecorrupt

MALERIE.
Arriving to the festival, she looked around at all the people that were there and just walked around slowly. Drunk people everywhere and most that were dancing where hilarious to watch. “if i only drank like them, i would join the likes of the embarrassment that is drunk dancing.” @crimsonstarters
stella’s resigned herself to the outer peripherals of the revelry, keeping a cautious eye on the crowd and, more important, who decided to keep themselves outside of the fray, too ----- call it paranoia, but a corpse on your doorstep in lieu of the morning paper tends to shift one’s perspective on these matters. idle conversation dulls the anxiety, though, and she manages a dry smirk at the brunette, “ sugar, i think they just don’t have a lick of rhythm - the alcohol should’ve fixed that, not made it worse. ”

LIAM.
open starter
location: fire & ice festival
time: 8:30pm
Liam knew deep down that something was wrong with this festival and he wanted to listen to his gut and stay home and keep his family out of harm’s way too. He knew that if he did that, his family would be seen as cowards and he’d be damned if that would happen. Anyone could see in his stance and demeanor that he didn’t want to be there and he had that look on his face that just screamed “think twice before talking to me” to ensure no one would try to strike up a conversation with him.
He popped out a cigarette and pulled out his usual lighter, lighting one up as he surveyed the area. There was always danger at every corner and he wanted to be on top of it and ready to spring into action. Liam could feel someone standing next to him and exhaled the smoke before speaking, “I’d keep walking if I were you.” The last thing he wanted to do was to entertain a drunken conversation.
stella’s been skeptical of the festival ever since the dubious lineup was announced, and it’s only gotten worse the closer the event drew. she’d only recently been made aware of javier’s elevated status within the o’shea gang, a notion that swiftly gets her blood boiling when she lays eyes on one of them ------ while technically a civilian, she’s worked at skyfall and relatively under their thumb long enough to recognize incoming bullshit. despite the salacious attire that typically clings to her curves, she’s wise enough to keep her clothing warm and, well, sensible. hadn’t anyone considered the fallacy of a festival during the dead of winter ?
“ is that a threat or a suggestion ? either way, i’m not heeding to it. ” she sips idly from her flask, eyeing the drunken masses and making little attempt to swallow her snark. “ if we’re still somehow functioning under the bullshit belief that this is just your average music festival and nothing awful’s coming our way, then at the very least, someone’s dying of hypothermia. ” shoulders pull into a shrug, challenging gaze dragging over liam’s profile. “ ----- either way, you’re probably gonna send javi to clean up your messes, aren’t you ? ”
