“…They need how much water?”
“You're joking! That's enough to fill the northern lake and then some!”
“Where is it all gonna come from — the ocean? We're gonna have ocean water filling our streets?”
“That's gonna be so messy. No one wants to wade through all that at a festival.”
“How do they manage that in Meriburn? They've gotta have grates in their streets, right?”
— And, like clockwork, he can hear his older sister's sigh at the influx of question and conclusions Tallis and Vance lay at their feet. They're curious and Wynn certainly couldn't blame them, given how eager they had been to listen in on discussions about the impending festival. He wouldn't fault them for their excitement, either…. but it would be nice for them to take a breath and let Sybil ( or himself, for that matter ) explain before their minds ran wild.
“Yes, of course — they're gonna flood the streets.” comes Sybil's mildly sarcastic reply, paired with a shake of her head. “Maybe they'll flood the castle too, if you two have anything to say about it.”
A chuckle sounds in Wynn's throat. “Don't put the thought in their heads, now. Next thing you know, I'll hear whispers of the castle turning into an aquarium.”
That earns an amused little eye roll from his sister, as well as some protest from his brothers ( but that much, he expected ).
“They're going to be using water from the neighboring ocean but it's going to be purified before they just… dump it on our heads.” Sybil explains, “And, from what was discussed… they'll probably use magic for a majority of whatever water-based spectacle is needed during the festival. Brecaea doesn't have the infrastructure to do what Meriburn does with the whole… “water in the streets, enjoy the festival barefoot, barriers to minimize flooding” but we're doing something pretty similar. I think they should be painting some sidewalks and roads with whatever substance coats Meriburn's streets today or tomorrow.”
“And the day after that… Queen Dakota is paying us another visit and will be staying until the festival finishes. So any questions you have — you can just ask her.” The royal leans back against one of the many window sills in the sitting room. “Granted you two don't inundate her with needless questions.”

* 𝐈𝐍𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐃𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐘: “no matter how rich and famous you are, you’ll always end up with your dick out on a slab.” / closed starter for @sibylliine !
* 𝐋𝐎𝐂𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍: damaris' stall !
there's a pause after the words finally register on viktor's mind, it's comical, the way he slowly glances up at her: puppy eyed, almost silently begging her to say she's kidding; and then just BLINKS for a moment. taking it all in at the same time he hopes and prays she's only messing with him. "is that an actual prediction or just, you know, a general warning?" if it's the latter he can deal with it, he thinks. one can never be TOO careful with that part of themselves. if it's a prophetic claim then... he doesn't know what to think. this wasn't even a possibility on his mind when he decided to support damaris.

a lil thing i talked about... a LONG time ago - jamie is very difficult to do non pre-established stuff with because he is mean and hates talking to people. so this is a friendly reminder that pre-established relationships are very encouraged and also a reminder to MYSELF that i gotta rb more plotting memes kjndfsfd
cuz like. all his first meetings are gonna be the same, really. he's either gonna be mean and dismissive or point a gun at you. sorry </3 (the only exception is if your muse is a child akjndsf)
this is also to say that with interactions you have my full permission to just make them friends (or enemies, or whatever) already. or have some kind of history to the interaction. we can figure out the deets later. 90% chance i'll be like HELL YEAH !!

"So how you guys let a new boy in your gang?" ( @homelander-rp-blog for Micah! :D)
[ ✖ ]
Micah was alone sitting at the bar, nursing a beer. Until he wasn't. He watched as the other male sat down by him. He didn't know who this asshole was but as time flew by Micah and John had been talking and getting to know one another.
But perhaps Micah had drunk a little too much, just enough to be bragging about how he was one of 'Dutch's boys'. Once the question was asked Micah ordered a shot of whiskey. He quickly drank the shot back, he felt the warmth from the drink as it went down.
"I'm not the one you should be askin'... You should be talkin' to Van Der Linde. But I think that won't be a problem."
Normally Micah wouldn't invite anyone to join the gang because it would just be another mouth to feed. But Micah was buzzed and not thinking clearly.

@storyandscng from >>>
the stranger's gaze isn't on crowley. has never been on him. it has followed, not unlike the demon's own eyes, a certain jolly bookshop keeper as he walked to an innocent other shop's entrance with a seemingly gentle, if strict-looking, old man.
except neither the stranger nor the demon are believers of the lie.
it's not until the light of the elevator disappears from the stranger's eyes that he finally speaks.
he doesn't seem taken aback by the tone his words are greeted with.
" him, actually. " he answers, finally looking.
head pointing towards the building aziraphale disappeared into.
" oh... ages ago now. "
it's hard to say if he looked concerned while looking at that building with that elevator going god knew where for god knew what. but does he? know.
" asked me a question. "
his eyes are now unwavering and intent on the demon.
" what was his name, already? oh how silly. "
he knows the name. wants to hear crowley say it.
" but i never quite knew what answer to give. "

❛ ✖︎ — closed starter — @invcntions. °
THE DOOR SHUTS WITH A VIOLENT BANG behind her. it’s not the first time marcela finds herself locked out of her own home after an argument with her mom who doesn’t even live there half of the time, but it never stops aching. she’s on her knees after having been practically shoved out and marci can hear her mother rummage through her stuff in search of her savings — savings she’s stored at the diner, knowing it’d be safer there.
she gets up and bangs on the door ferociously, effectively waking up the entire trailer park. « open the fucking door, linda ! » she spits venomously. it’s futile and marci knows it, but what else is she supposed to do ? « are you kidding me ?! open the door ! » there’s no reply, and marci kicks the door one last time. « FUCK YOU ! » she backs away from the door and exhales slowly, anger making way for embarrassment to envelop her instead. she glances down at her scraped knees and her skimpy attire: a pair of shorts now a size too small and a crop top she stole a few weeks back. not the sort of outfit she’d choose around this crowd. instinctively she wraps her arms around herself and turns around to meet the eyes of one lincoln chandler. eye contact only lasts a second before marci turns away again, but one second is all she needs to recognize that worried look of his. fuck. she’s out of options: obviously she can’t go home, her boyfriend is now her ex once again, and judging from koa’s last update he’s somewhere over the atlantic right now. would it be pathetic if she just made a run for it ? anywhere is better than here.

“Vega~ …” Astra is practically attached to his partner’s back, nuzzling his shoulder for a moment before sighing. “I’m bored … we should grab another job, soon. A fun one, mm?” (royal au bc i’ve been thinking about them all day)
The weight of Astra's form settles against his back and Vega, like clockwork, leans back into all the comfort it offers. He lifts a hand to one of the arms draped across his shoulders and offers a small squeeze to his partner's arm, head turning a slight bit to catch a glimpse Astra making himself comfortable.
“A fun job?” he repeats, a ghost of a smile on his lips “And here I thought you were enjoying the peace and quiet almost as much as I was.”
— which is to say “Not much at all”…
“…If you want to take another job, then I don't see why we shouldn't. Everyone else seems to be preoccupied by one thing or another… and it's only fair that we have something that keeps us busy too.”
The assassin brushes his fingers against Astra's arm, head tipping down now to press a kiss to it as he speaks. “…I've had my ear out for a particular contract for about a week now… It's not too high profile but it will take quite a bit of preparation on our part.”
That's half of the fun, though.
Unprompted, I think | @fatestouch

the relief is almost immediate when he finally catches sight of a familiar face and he can't help the smile that takes over his whole expression as soon as he realizes who it is too. "luna... it's SO good to see you." it's clear he actually means it too, since just a few minutes ago he was lost in the middle of a growing crowd. "did you know you really stand out even when you're surrounded by people? you're like a godsend actually, i was starting to get overwhelmed."

They say that marriage can be considered to be a successful one, not because of how long two people stayed married but instead of how many challenges and obstacles that they faced and overcame together.
'It must be true then' he thought with a smile. After everything and EVERYTHING, he was confident that he and Hyejin remained.
His steps were light as he rounded their bedroom, brown eyes centered onto her turned back, her hair styled the way she liked it the most. He watched as her fingers hands over the canvas a splatter of paint colored here and there. He couldn't figure out what her muse was for that day, he wasn't that artistically inclined either. But still, he knew whatever it was Hyejin was creating---it would be a masterpiece.n
"I knew I'd find you here." He smiled.

he expects it. it doesn't mean it doesn't sadden some part of him who wishes everything had been different. he doesn't even seek to defend himself or to wiggle out of the demon's grasp, his back to the wall of his own bookshop.
" people are looking! listen- " the hesitation contrasts with the new, darker, duller clothes he wears as he looks around them, smiling nervously at the couple people indeed looking at them. gossipers... he'd roll his eyes if it weren't for crowley's hands at his lapels. " let's go inside... we'll talk. i- i'll even make you tea. but let's not do this here."
and, honestly, the neighbors are actually the last of his worries right now. there are more dangerous ears and eyes about and he doesn't feel half as comfortable to speak with crowley outside as he would be inside. if the demon can cooperate, of course.
" please. "
he hopes the pleading still works after all this time, because he has no idea how else to calm the waters right now.

@flightofaqrow: "all of this is my fault."
Raven's fist strikes the wall behind Qrow, and it's only through remarkable self control that she hadn't thrown the punch directly at him. He wouldn't be any good to her if she bloodied up his mouth. She needed him to fucking talk, to tell her what had happened, and likely to call off his new little friends which were currently preparing to point their weapons at her.
Correction: the blonde was already there, a bolt loaded upon her wrist.
She doesn't care about the Relic, not really. She doesn't care about Atlas falling from the sky. She doesn't care about Salem or Ozpin and this whole war that they've dragged her family into. She just wants to know one thing.
"Shut up. Shut up, I don't want to fucking hear it!" Her face is close to his own, staring into eyes which so often reflect her own. They're dull, right now -- his face looks pale and gaunt, almost unrecognisable. In calmer times, she may have questioned what had put him in that state. In this moment, she couldn't care less.
Barely a whisper, now, the words sounding scratchy to her own ears. As if she'd been screaming only moments before she reached him. "Where is my daughter?"
