Chapter Opening Quotes for They Came from Witchford Academy!

They Came from Witchford Academy!, our Magical School RPG supplement for Onyx Path's They Came from the Cyclops's Cave! I pitched and developed, is currently going through the Editing stage. I don't have the permission to share previews yet, but I still want to give you all something since it's been a while since I talked about it (the development phase took tons of my attention!) So, here are the various chapter opening quotes, each citing one of the many piece of media that inspired us all during the project:

“The well-being of our students is our top priority. Which is why we send all our troublemakers to our new and improved detention pit.”

— Principal Bump of Hexside School of Magic & Demonics, The Owl House (2020 — 2023)

“I don't care about ancient history, I didn't come here to become one of those moldy old witches. It's no fun at all. I wanna be a cool witch like Shiny Chariot.”

— Atsuko “Akko” Kagari, Little Witch Academia (2013)

“This looks like a job for inadvisably applied magic if ever I saw one.”

—Terry Pratchett, Making Money (2007)

“It was only when Shona, in sheer fury, turned the carnivorous sheep among them that they moved. They ran, some of them with charming little white sheep attached to their legs or backsides and the rest shouting about monsters.”

—Diana Wynne Jones, Dark Lord of Derkholm (1998)

“Arch-sorceress Matilda Pilqvist. Enchanter of Livelihoods, Grand Alchemist of the Dark Communion of Halgar, First Bloodsister of the Order of the Black Candle, tormentor of the…”

“Yeah, okay, we get it. She’s accomplished and scary”

— Frida and Hilda, Hilda (2018 — 2023)

“I’m not sure whose twisted idea it was to put hundreds of adolescents in underfunded schools run by people whose dreams were crushed years ago, but I admire the sadism.”

— Wednesday Addams, Wednesday (2022) This is barely a taste of the actual book, but I still think it gives off the right impressions!

For as long as she'd been back in Daggerpoint, Danika had not bothered to go see what Onyx had gotten himself up to. That wasn't exactly their relationship anyway - but it was nice to have at least one family member in the area.

After being directed to where her brother was (most likely) acting busier than he was, she approached him, kicking his boot as she got close enough. "Hey; this town isn't big enough for the both of us, and I'm the better looking one."

I was influenced by superheroes at the young age. The first one I was inspired by was DC because I used to watch the old Batman animated series, also the Justice League animated series. Marvel also got into my inspiration manifestation later when I watched Avengers with my family and I usually root for the good guys, especially Thor, who is a total hunk. These references made me think of making a Trolls Superhero AU, which is composed of OCs and Canon characters. Now, let’s meet the terrific trio themselves, Queen Rose as Captain Sterling, Queen Poppy as Rainbow Girl, and Branch as the mysterious Psionyx.

Captain Sterling Real Name: Rosita “Rosetta” Barbara V. Madrigal Alias: Titanium Queen, Leap of Faith, Lil’ Ace Superpowers: Invulnerability, Flight, Super Strength, Super Speed, Heat Vision (including Solar Flare), Super Hearing, Super Vision (including X-ray Vision, microscopic vision, and telescopic vision, overuse causes headaches), Super Breath (including Ice Breath), Accelerated Healing, Energy Manipulation (it includes absorption and generation), Partial alien physiology, Martial Arts, Indomitable Will Archenemy: Evelyn Ford a.k.a Velvet (based on Lex Luthor) Inspiration: Superman, Captain Marvel

Rainbow Girl Real Name: Penelope “Poppy” Monteiro Alias: Sunshine B.B., Bubblegum Chick, Prismatic Queen Superpowers: Flight, Sound Conversion, Light Generation, Iriskinesis via Lumokinesis and Chromakinesis, Chromo-Egrokinesis, Energy Manipulation, Enhance Strength and Durability, Healing, Martial Arts, Indomitable Will Archenemy: Pacifica “Pushy Poppy” a.k.a Drab Grey Inspiration: Dazzler, Karolina Dean

Psionyx Real Name: Bernardo “Branch” Huitzilopochtli Ramon Rivera Alias: The Psychic Onyx, Superpowers: Telepathy, Telekinesis, Psychic powers, Indomitable Will, Intimidation, Interrogation, Peak Human Conditioning, Martial Arts Master, Weapons Master, Genius Level Intellect, Peak Human Strength, Superhuman Agility Archenemy: Carl “Creek” Evans a.k.a Monkshood (based on Poison Ivy but his color scheme is more similar to the Joker, Green Goblin, and Skeletor) Inspiration: Batman, Jean Grey a.k.a Phoenix

I’m planning to make a team for them called the Justice Brigade, which will serve as the leading team for all the super teams because it is based on the main Justice League but I dunno who can I pick for their team. As for Guy Diamond and Meadow Sprigg’s team, the Sylvan Guardians (composed of them, along with Tiny Diamond, Holly Darlin’, Val Thundershock, and Lownote Jones), they’ll retain their animal theme. Let me know if you have suggestions for the Terrific Trio’s teammates.

Fated (John Wick x Black!reader) Reboot Updates

As promised with the reboot, this will be the new story!

Before I explain the premise please note the following:

The aesthetics I used was hyperrealistic art. I did not want to use real actors or other well- known individuals for character Ocs (I thought it would be cool to have a realistic but graphic novel feel).

I followed the color scheme of purple, pink, blue, and black often seen in some promotional work for the movies and the city backgrounds for the character profiles.

I was inspired by the John Wick Presents: Ballerina movie for my my black!oc career.

There will be an age gap between the black!oc and John. She will be in her late 20s - early 30s. I will push John's age down. Upon research many say he's around 50. SO, I will make him mid-40s.

Chapters will be uploaded every Saturday at 2PM EST (the first chapter will come out on June 1, 2024 2PM EST)

Premise of the story:

After faking his death to escape the relentless pursuit of the High Table, legendary assassin John Wick retreats to a secluded cabin in the serene countryside.

Here, he seeks solace and redemption, spending his days tending to a tranquil garden and training with his loyal Golden Retriever, Max. Despite the calm exterior, John remains haunted by the shadows of his violent past, the memories of his beloved wife Helen, and the intense battles that led him to this sanctuary.

In the bustling heart of New York City, Seraphina "Sera" Jones, a principal dancer at The Étoile Ballet Theatre, captivates audiences with her powerful performances. By night, she becomes NYX, a master hacker navigating the digital underworld with unparalleled skill. Sera's life is a delicate balance of grace and grit, haunted by the loss of her parents, her brutal training at the Expanse program, and fragmented memories of a young boy with kind eyes.

As both Sera and John strive for peace in their own ways, their paths unknowingly draw closer. A cryptic message ties Sera's latest high-risk hacking job to the elusive High Table, pulling her into the same dangerous world John is trying to escape. Bound by fate and their shared history, Sera and John must confront their pasts and navigate a treacherous journey filled with suspense, raw emotion, and the unyielding pursuit of redemption.

"Whisper of Redemption" is a tale of two warriors, each seeking a sanctuary in a world that refuses to let them go, where the echoes of their pasts and the promise of an uncertain future collide in an inevitable reckoning.

Hey!!!

I’m interested in your thoughts: how many living Victors do you think each District has at the time of the QQ reaping?

omg hi!! thank you so much for the ask, i love talking about the victors!! iirc there were 59 victors still alive shortly before the quell, so here's what i think:

1: 11 total, 8 living: Jasper Montgomery (2nd, dec.); Ruby Red Bird (6th); Mirage Dubois (17th); Luxe Cloud (22nd); Jade Crawford (30th); Onyx O'Hara (42nd); Amber Nova Astor-Moon (51st); Quartz Whitegrass (59th); Cashmere Davenport (63rd); Gloss Davenport (64th); Crystal Chanel Michaels (66th)

2: 14 total, 11 living: Rex Barnes (1st, dec.); Atticus Nader (4th, dec.); Diana Roseman (8th, dec.); Florence Malina (19th); Ace Robinson (27th); Violet Rashid (28th); Valerie Banks (36th); Brutus Kumar (40th); Emmeline (Lyme) Lin (46th); Leo Kalinin (52nd); Sebastian Kim (56th); Enobaria Moore (62nd); Augustus Braun (67th); Julian Stone (72nd)

3: 5 total, 4 living: Edie Faris (13th, dec.); Sofie Park (26th); Beetee Latier (33rd); Wiress Payne (48th); Gage Patel (54th)

4: 10 total, 9 living: Tomi Ando (5th, dec.); Magdalena (Mags) Flanagan (11th); Caspian Zhang (15th); Siobhan Sullivan (24th); Dylan Kahale (32nd); Estrella Williams (39th); Pearl Davis (49th); Halia Kane (55th); Finnick Odair (65th); Anemone (Annie) Cresta (70th)

5: 4 total, 3 living: Dacie Quinn (16th, dec.); Porter Millicent Tripp (38th); Wyatt Medina (44th); Vander Allen (61st)

6: 3 total, 2 living: Basma Ford (23rd, dec.); Adrienne Mercedes Hughes (43rd); Miles Horowitz (60th)

7: 5 total, 3 living: Phyll Thomas (9th, dec.); Olive Sato (20th, dec.); Grover Hits Back (41st); Blight Hackman (58th); Johanna Mason (71st)

8: 4 total, 4 living: Woof Dimatteo (12th); April Webber (21st); Sasha Travin (35th); Cecelia Balan (57th)

9: 5 total, 4 living: Malt Waters (7th); Robin Blue Ryan (25th, dec.); Maisie Olson (34th); Erika Miller (53rd); Isaac Mesteth (68th)

10: 4 total, 3 living: Vina Garza (18th); Aubrey Flores (29th, dec.); Paxton Bernal (47th); Bel Cuervo (73rd)

11: 6 total, 5 living: Cane Harrison (3rd, dec.); Honeydew Hayes (14th); Seeder Chapman (31st); Harvey McLean (37th); Chaff Santana (45th); Clementine Jones (69th)

12: 4 total, 3 living: Lucy Gray Baird (10th, dec.); Haymitch Abernathy (50th); Katniss Everdeen & Peeta Mellark (74th)

i think that the majority of the deceased victors passed away from old age, with the exception of a few (general TW because this gets dark):

Dacie Quinn (D5, 16th Games): died of cancer at the age of 53 (56 ADD)

Olive Sato (D7, 20th Games): died in childbirth at age 40 (42 ADD)

Basma Ford (D6, 23rd Games): died from a morphling overdose at age 27 (32 ADD)

Robin Blue Ryan (D9, 25th Games): murdered at age 37 (44 ADD) (imo he was a very unpopular victor in D9 because a) he was voted in, and b) as D9's first actual mentor, he didn't do very well, bringing home only one tribute in the 19 years he mentored)

Aubrey Flores (D10, 29th Games): drowned in his bathtub while drunk at age 40 (53 ADD)

Onyx O'Hara (D1, 42nd Games): died by suicide at age 26 (50 ADD)

anyways... thank you SO much for the ask, i'd love to hear what you think :3

Gush about your OC

Rules: — Post 5 Facts about your OC. — Open the latest section of #cyberpunk 2077 tag and reblog 5 posts of people you don’t follow, giving them nice tags. — Tag 5 People to spread the game.

got tagged by: @wraithsoutlaws, @imaginarycyberpunk2023 and @morganlefaye79. Thank you so much! <3

Guess I can do all my three oc's now thanks to you, ha! Too lazy to make three seperate posts so this is going to be an all-in-one long post with no cut:

Vijay is not a friend of going into a gym to stay healthy. But you can find him swimming laps in a public swimming pool. He works out at least 3x a week and does usual exercises at home to stay fit. He also showers every day, otherwise he won’t feel awake neither ready for the day/night.

His main car is a Mizutani Shion MZ2, he got through Regina Jones, so it’s the vanilla car and rides like a pure dream. He doesn’t care if it's a Tyger‘s favorite. His second car is a 1980s treasure: a DMC DeLorean. Since he was a child he dreamed of owning this car one day — now that he’s got the money after years of saving, he was able to fulfill that dream. He also still has his racing car toy version of it (alongside with another one: Trans Am K.I.T.T from Knight Rider) he got when he was 5 years old.

Vijay is of Austrian origin but can't speak any German/Austrian. His kin traveled from Europe to the US during the 1920s and his family history got pretty much forgotten since he never got told anything about it. Ryder casually mentioned that V pronounces his last name constantly wrong (because he knows it better as a German :P) and told V that 'Steyr' is actually a City in Austria (Ryder's family used to go on vacation when he was a young boy).

Vijay does only use cyberware that is totally necessary for him aas a netrunner so it its mostly addons and mods for his Cyberdeck and the power weapons he uses together with the balistic coprocessor. This means he's refraining to use cyberware for: arms, legs, his skeleton and also integumentary, nervous and immune systems. No fashionable stuff either (the one on his throat is there because of an accident in his past).

Vijay can feel like a great friend on your side – until you consider how much you actually know about him. He’s cagey and never about to fully reveal himself until he fully trusts someone. Not even close friends get to know his true self. Almost no one will ever get a chance to even try to get through and make him talk about his scars from the past.

///core:_vijay_steyr.file\\\ ⇢ about.file \_/ aesthetics.files.file

Ryder was a very fidgety child and somehow this stayed with him. He's got a better control of it now, but he just can't sit still for too long. He also has a habit to align objects neatly side by side, he doesn't like chaos on a table.

He can fly a plane — means any real plane but also any shorter flying vehicle as well. He also knows where their weak spots sit and he can override autopilot systems.

He collects gemstones such as amethysts, onyx and quartz. He believes in their ability to clear negative energies from his aura, so they help him to absorb his constant anger a little. Once he thinks the negative energy gets stronger again, he cleanses the gems and loads them up again in the sun. So if you stop by his apartment you'll find them placed everywhere.

Ryder loves to go shopping. Mostly together with Vijay because he always needs someone to approve the stuff he picks looks cool on him. Sometimes the two make a challenge out of it, which means that Ryder looks after clothes for Vijay to wear and vice versa. At times this ended up in funny combinations. And with Arki he's got a true fashionista on his side as well for sure. :)

Ryder's got a mod installed that allows only Vijay to reset his system if he falls into berserk mode unable to get out of it (people might think he'd turn cyberpsycho, but it's just the killing spree he is likely to fall in and can't stop). It doesn't harm him, but he needs a few minutes to get back to his consciousness and mostly feels like some sort of paralyzes.

Hizumi's mask is a keepsake from their little brother who's been too dumb (sadly) by joining the Tyger Claws and got murdered when he decided it was wrong and wanted to leave.

They have trained with a sword ever since Hizumi was 4 years old because their father used to be a skilled sword master and smith. Hizumi comes from a historic city named Kamakura — a city that used to be the de facto capital of Japan from 1185 to 1333 and the seat of the Kamakura shogunate. Many warriors found their rest in and around Kamakura.

Hizumi likes to roam the realm of the supernatural and believes the spirits are talking to them. Chigasaki got interested in it very early when they were diving into the world of Japanese folklore full of gods and creatures such as oni and yokai. They believe to have had an encounter with the Kami Inari at their home shrine in Kamakura that lies deep in the woods behind the hidden village.

Hizumi is a lazy bitch. Only talks when necessary or needed, doesn't interfere much either. It's likely that Vijay or Ryder have to give them an exact order to do something — it's like when you enter a taxi in Tokyo and can't tell the driver the exact location, he won't start driving. You'll spot Hizumi mostly sitting or lying around being lazy but still observing.

They also like to be up on high buildings. It's where they feel safest and inapproachable in the city. Down in the streets there is only danger around you all the time called daily life. Up high on a skyscraper, they've got peace. So, Hizumi likes to travel mostly over rooftops and is a huge fan of chilling on fire escape stairs, likely to observe enemies from above and also enter jobs this way if it's not in open space.

Tagging (dunno if you already got tagged bc I'm always so late to the game): @nervouswizardcycle, @jessxmetal, @genocidalfetus, @f001onthehill and @gloryride (no pressure tho and even if you've done this already maybe there might be another character waiting to be told more about? :))

Junk : Chapter 3

Thanks again for all the support, I’ve found a decent rhythm, hopefully it will last. Hope you all enjoy this chapter.

Story Index  

Chapter 1 | Chapter 2

* * *

Jones cringed sightly hearing Lucy's assessment. He'd only had training in BLS, but he'd picked up enough to know this wasn't looking good. They hurried the gurney over to the ambulance, pausing for a moment to unlock the back doors.

"Jones, you good driving the wagon?" Stone said to him, as they lifted the gurney into the back of the ambulance, giving a discreet nod to the young man who had trailed them out. They both knew it wasn't strictly necessary from the perspective of the patient. With the LUCAS automating compressions, just one of the medics could have easily handled anything else. However, a strung out and high boyfriend was a different matter. They would need to manage that one carefully. If things kicked off they would need a third pair of hands to keep it from going to hell real fast.

"Got it, clear the way for us?" He asked, taking the keys from Dave.

Stone nodded in reply. They shut the doors and parted ways. The young man was reaching for the back door, stammering something. Jones cut him, keeping a soothing tone.

"This way mate, better off sitting up front, ok."

He led the young man around to the front and helped him in before rushing around to the driver’s side. He'd driven one of these ambulances a couple of times before, so it took him only a moment to re-familiarise himself with the layout. The engine roared to life, shifting it into drive before flicking on the sirens. Ahead of him the patrol car lit up too, and moments later both vehicles were on the move.

Jones glanced at the young man beside him. He was turned in his seat, staring into the back, tears streaking down his face. He needed distracting.

"What's your name mate?" Jones asked, taking care to keep any hint of accusation or authority out of his voice.

"Kevin." He mumbled, then his expression flickered, realising he was talking to a cop. "I mean Onyx."

"Onyx huh?" Jones tried to keep the conversation chatty but had a bad feeling his efforts to distract Kevin would fall flat.

"She calls me that. Gave me that name." Kevin said, his voice thick. Grief and the slurs of a fading high were part of it. But Jones sensed the edge of something hard deep underneath it. He stopped talking, hoping the young man would continue the conversation, but he remained silent.

In the back of the ambulance Dave and Lucy did what they could. Lucy regularly squeezed breath into Krystal’s lungs, while Dave was sorting the IV bags. He pushed a dose of Narcan into one port, adding a second larger dose to the bag of saline to give a constant effect. He also gave her a round of epi and one of bicarb, before grabbing a bag of glucose and electrolyte solution, hooking it up the second IV. Addicts weren't known for having a healthy diet. He'd seen many who had forgone a week’s worth of meals just to get another fix.

With that done there was little more either of them could do. Dave pressed his stethoscope to her chest, double checking the airway, knowing it wasn't necessary. The tube was well placed, but her lung sounds were grim. He heard the tell-tale signs of deeply aspirated vomit. He glanced up, meeting Lucy's gaze. She gave a slight shake of the head. They both knew that even if Krystal survived the overdose, leaving the hospital would be close to a miracle. Neurologically intact was pretty much impossible at this point.

Dave grabbed his shears and made short work of Krystal’s remaining clothing, fully revealing her naked body. Her arms were lined with track marks, and there was even a scattering of needle spots down her legs. Those limbs were also gaunt, little more than skin, bone and sinew. In the bright lights of the ambulance her ribs were clearly visible.

"Epi's had 2 minutes, let's pause the LUCAS and do a pulse check." Dave said, reaching up and twisting the dial of the LUCAS. The hissing clicks stopped, the plunger resting between Krystal’s pale breasts. The monitor continued its squeal, the line sliding across the screen without even the vaguest squiggle. Dave touched his fingers to her wrist and femoral, feeling nothing but her cooling flesh. He looked at Lucy, whose fingers were pressing into Krystal's carotid. She shook her head. Dave resumed the thumper, watching it cave Krystal's chest in over and over again, pumping her unmoving heart.

Anna pulled off her bloody gloves and the plastic apron, dumping them in the biohazard bin. She ran a hand through her hair, leaning against the wall as she watched the surgical transfer team roll the gurney out. It had been touch and go for a few minutes, a nasty nick to the man's femoral artery had required her to press her finger right into the wound from the open fracture on his thigh while Carl got it clamped off. After that they'd managed to get his blood volume back up and things were looking positive.

It had certainly re-energised her. Carl finished up his hand over with the surgical consultant, who trailed after her own team, then walked over to her. He leaned against the wall beside her.

"Good work there." He told her,

"Not so bad yourself." She replied, giving him a grin. "I missed you earlier. The walk in was terribly lonely."

He reached out, taking her hand but keeping it subtle. "Sorry about that. I tried to get an earlier appointment, but they didn't have any openings." He let out a breath. "All sorted now at least, shouldn't need to visit the accountants for another year."

"Why did you even need to go so urgently?" Anna asked, curious but not pushing.

"Someone was distracting me." He said, with a severe look that he couldn't hold for long before grinning. "I honestly forgot. My Pop's left me various stocks in a trust. They aren't worth big money, but they need managed, so I have to go in once a year to arrange things."

Anna nodded as if she knew what he was talking about. She understood the concept but had never been in that position. Her family wasn't dirt poor, but they'd never had spare cash for gambling on the markets. The only accountant she'd encountered was the one who organised the taxes for her self-employed father. And that involved a few beers and a football match on the TV. It was a nice memory, the simplicity and community of village life, tinged with sadness. The accountant’s daughter had disappeared a couple of years ago. Ran off and cut all contact.

Anna shook her head slightly, pulling herself back to the present. She gave Carl's hand a squeeze, letting out a little sigh. "I suppose we'd best get back to work." She said with a little groan. "More boring dressings."

Carl glanced up at the clock. It was 3:15. "Less than 3 hours left at least." He replied, pushing himself off the wall. "Come on then."

They both left the trauma room, heading back towards the central hub. They were halfway there when they saw Trish hurrying towards them. "We got another Red Call, OD, 2 minutes away. It sounds pretty bad."

* * *

2 minutes later Anna, Carl and the rest of their team were standing just inside the doors to the ambulance bay, keeping warm. They saw the lights of the ambulance approaching swiftly and got ready to spring into action. The ambulance swung around and pulled up, the team running out to pull open the doors. Anna was ready to jump in and take over compressions, but as soon as she saw the big green shell of the LUCAS she slid out of the way, letting the others in the pull the gurney out.

"What have we got Dave?" Carl asked the paramedic as he stepped down beside the gurney.

"Female, Jane Doe, going by Krystal, mid 20's, suspected opiate OD. Suffered a respiratory arrest approximately 22 minutes ago. Oxygenation wasn't restored until 12 minutes ago, by which time she was already asystolic. Significant amount of aspirated vomit. We've given multiple doses of Narcan and set up a titration, with no response. She hasn’t had a rhythm since we arrived."

As the team moved past Anna followed close beside Lucy, allowing her to get a decent look at Krystal. She had been stripped naked on the gurney, her sheared clothing still pinned beneath her. Her flesh was pale and ashen, a pattern of bruising underneath the heel of the LUCAS. In the slight gap of the ET tube holder, she could see Krystal's lips, a cyanotic pale blue. Above her lips was her nose, with the subtle signs of being broken in youth.

Anna frowned, turning her head to try and get a better look at Krystal's face. She looked familiar, and with that broken nose... No way. Anna thought. The accountant's daughter. She'd taken a hockey stick to the face at school. Anna remembered it distinctly because she'd been refereeing for the younger year group. The shock had stunned her, stopping her in her tracks.

"You ok?" A voice said behind her. It was a police officer. She recognised him too. Jones.

"Er... yeah. Yeah. Have you checked in with missing persons?" Anna asked him.

"Yes, haven't anything back yet though."

"Ok." Anna took a steadying breath. "See if they can pull up the information for Megan Kennedy."

Jones's eyebrows raised. "You know her?"

"Maybe." Anna shrugged. "I haven't seen her in 7 years, but she has the exact same broken nose."  

"I'll get right on it." Jones told her, grabbing his radio, chattering away.

Anna meanwhile got back in the game, heading for the trauma room. She hadn't noticed the young man pass her, but he was pushing through the doors. Anna raced to catch up.

* * *

Anna caught up to him a few steps into the trauma room. She slipped around and held up her hands to stall him. Behind her the team had transferred Krystal/Megan onto the trauma bed, removing the shredded clothing and casting it into a pile in the corner. Carl was giving orders, asking for more drugs to go in and a blood sample to be drawn out to test.

"You should really wait outside." Anna told him gently.

"No. No. She needs me." Kevin moaned.

"They're doing everything they can for her ok, you need let..." Anna was cut off.

"No they aren't!" Kevin hissed at her, the sudden switch in his demeanour putting her literally on the back foot. "Why haven't they zapped her! They're supposed to zap her!"

"It wouldn't help her right now. If they get to a point it will help, they'll do it, I promise."

He looked like he was going to keep arguing, but Jones had returned, stepping up close enough to make his presence known. He gave Anna a grim look, holding out his phone. A more recent picture of Megan was on the screen, from shortly before she ran away. Anna took the phone and advanced to the head of the bed. The lifeless young woman looked thinner, and grubbier. But Anna was almost certain it was her. She reached out and eased open one of her eyes. Anna could barely see the iris, a thin ring around a gaping pupil. But it matched the colour on the photo.

"Have you got a blood type yet?" She asked Trish, who had taken the sample and was over by a counter labelling it. She waved at the rapid testing strips, a few drops smeared on them, before sliding out of the way to take it to the lab for the drug screen. Anna quickly interpreted the result. Another match to the information on the missing person’s file.

She returned to Jones, handing back the phone with a sad nod. Then she turned Kevin.

"You really do need to wait outside." She repeated. "We're going to do everything we can to help Megan, but you need to give us space."

The young man turned his gaze toward her, glaring. "Her name is Krystal." He spoke slowly, his words hard as stone.

Jones stepped in the way, breaking the glare, waving Anna back towards the trauma bed. "Come on ... Onyx. Let them do their job." He said, placating but unyielding as he eased the young man backwards, out of the trauma room.

One element I've noticed about this shoot: there's just never enough when it comes to jewelry! Layering chunky necklaces is such an early 2010s thing and this shoot definitely showed how to do it back then.

Here, Marina wore the Lolita bodysuit (£439.00) from Bebaroque's "Matador" collection with embroidery inspired by Spanish traditional matador costumes and historical embroidery.

She layered a L'Agence cotton skirt (£170.00) with a Topshop tulle and diamanté maxi skirt (£70.00).

Her jewelry starts off with this beautiful Chanel Pre-Fall 2010 "Paris-Shanghai" collection gold metal, enamel and silk tassel necklace (£2,285.00).
