"If anyone calls me old for not understanding how to work a scroll, I can and will whack them with Oyster's staff. I'm trying to get the hang of it." He just wants to know how to use Penstagram for the most part. Blend in.

A night off only means the bodyguard is less guarding and more skulking. Keeping a close eye on the imperial family only as a perfect excuse to keep an eye, also, on everyone else in the ballroom. Or so he tries. Right now, he has been intercepted by an individual who may or may have not indulged in more drinks than they could tolerate. He tries to escape with a courteous and modest smile, keeping a prudent distance. "Regrettably, I am unfamiliar with this form of dancing," or most forms of dancing, for that matter. He was a decent singer, had a neat calligraphy and could fly a kite beautifully, but dancing was far from his preferred form of artistic expression. Nor his preferred form of mourning. "I am certain you will find a more suited companion—"

M!A Reverse

Something was for sure going on. Instead of being in bed in the morning, soft and cuddly like Maverick tended to be, it was empty, hoodie laying in the spot where he had been. Nothing was left, not even a note.

Instead, he was in the training ring, blades singing a sharp tune as he whirled them around his body, parring and lunging at an invisible foe. Sweat gleaned off his exposed arms, the slightly tanned skin a contrast to the tight black sleeveless shirt and leggings. He said nothing, only curling back his lips from time to time to chop through the air in a ragged motion.

"The boyfriend asks, 'Where?'

"The girlfriend replies, 'Nah, I'm pretty sure it was just a regular one.'"

The Maddest Woman Westview Had Ever Seen — Open for anyone. "Grief is a powerful thing.." Wanda looks at the person in front of her, sitting in a hidden table in a busy cafe. A pair of hot drinks in front of them, her mug filled with hibiscus and ginger tea, was now being held with both hands, taking a sip before continuing. "I lost everyone I loved, first my parents, then my brother, then my lover.. a lover that I had plans with, he had plans with me, he had bought a plot of land to start our family.. and everything was ripped away from me, so I... disassociated, to put it simply." Her eyes were now glued to the mug, just absentmindedly observing the warmth coming out of it. "I had a marvelous time ruining everything.." A small smile could be seen on her lips as she confessed her feelings, somewhat mixed with the guilt. "Don't get me wrong, I never meant to do any harm, but when I found out I was doing everything, I couldn't stop myself.. I tried.." She looks up at them. "But it was my shot at happiness.."

𝐖𝐇𝐎 :  joshua + anyone // @chqstarter ⦗ CLOSED ⦘ 𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄 :  the green

       the day was absolutely gorgeous. the weather wasn't too hot or too cold. the seventy degree weather really brought out more people than usual. and josh was no different. he grabbed his camera, and he went around the city, taking photos, finding beauty in everything he saw. he found himself taking a break at the green, where he took some time to eat his lunch before he saw someone who looked like they were in their ELEMENT. he brought his camera up and looked them through their viewfinder before finally taking a few snapshots of them. the sound of the shutter could be heard and was probably what broke his cover when the person looked straight at them. busted. he gave them an innocent smile. " sorry, i can totally delete them. you can check them out if you want though, they did turn out good, " joshua said.

[wizofwaterdeep]

Even from a young age, the wizard relished in a good story. His earliest and fondest memory is that of a tranquil evening in Waterdeep, when his lovely mother would read fictional tales of mighty heroes and grand adventures and terrifying monsters. The irony is not lost upon Gale of Waterdeep now, realizing his life as of recent has seemingly become one of these fictional stories. So many stories, and if there is one lesson Gale remembers above all the rest, never split up the party.

Without fail, something quite terrible will happen. If only he and his companion had remembered such lessons today.

A series of unfortunate events transpired before their very eyes; an expected Minotaur attack resulting in the collapsed entrance of a cave. Hardly his idea, in fact, Gale advised his companion wandering off into a cave alone, in the Underdark nonetheless, was a recipe for trouble. Now here they are, exhausted, weak and pathetically trapped. “Well, I suppose now is as good a time as any to say I told you so. This is quite the predicament we’ve landed ourselves in.”

( soak ) : shivering and drenched to the bone in a rainstorm

Open Starter | Mutuals Only

Dark clouds filled the sky, accompanied by a near-constant rumbling. It was only the occasional flash of lightning that illuminated the area, silhouetting the shadowy Swordsman where they hovered. One would think they were in their element. Such an assumption wouldn't be too far off from the truth, if it weren't for the blasted downpour.

The Dark Matter currently took shelter underneath a sturdy tree, observing the rain with a baleful gaze. Their hair, normally spiky and flowing (whether wind was present or not), appeared as though it were melting. Small black blobs dripped down from it at a rather consistent rate, hitting the ground before seemingly fading from existence. Swordsman's cloak, meanwhile, was completely drenched from the rain.

Waterlogged would be an appropriate way of describing the warrior right now. Admittedly, Swordsman had been caught off-guard earlier. All they had intended was for a short nap... Suddenly being battered by rain was certainly a discomforting awakening.

Could they simply leave this planet right now? Yes. Did they want to fly through the clouds, where the weather was most certainly worse? Not particularly. So there the Dark Matter would remain, waiting out the storm as it raged on...

Open starter — Draco Malfoy.

“What are you staring at, toad? Move along.” Glowering down long and hard over his potion textbook from where he currently sat atop the towering stone wall surrounding Hogwarts grounds, the young wizard gave a dismissive once over toward his peer before shifting his full attention back to his book.

Usually even he had more patience than this. But after a long and rather rough day only made worse by yet another embarrassing defeat during a duel? He didn’t particularly feel like conversing with anyone; be them friend or foe.

Why weren’t they leaving? Had he not made his annoyance clear enough? Apparently not considering they weren’t rushing to get a move on. “..Are you deaf?”

[frozenambiguity]

Open.

If one were to inquire, one would receive a simple response: it had been a mere moment of misfortune. Or perhaps one of veiled recklessness, encouraged by bravado and adrenaline, that knew only how to guide and beg for more.

Regardless, the tempest had passed, making way for clearer skies, clearer minds. What now lies before one is a rare sight, filled with dichotomy. There is focus in the captain's gaze as he stares at his hand intently, though with no apparent shimmer. And, just a few centimeters below, remarkable sulkiness has made a playground out of delicate lips.

Pouting. Kaeya Alberich was... pouting.

This almost begs for one to rub their eyes! The esteemed captain — sulking!? No, no. Surely not! Surely, it had to be some trick of the light... ... ...!

Still.

The slash on his left hand... Stings.

𝐖𝐇𝐎 :  winter + anyone 𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄 :  runyon canyon trail

       one thing that winter always loved about los angeles was that the weather was always so nice. even when it was autumn, the temperature was still hot. today was no different. the fact that it was in the eighties, winter wanted to take the opportunity to enjoy the day. so he took the trails, hiking, getting a little workout. he could feel the sweat that eventually he took his shirt off and tucked it in his shorts. " man, i forgot how good it feels to H I K E these trails, " he said to the person near him.
