IT FELT STALE OUTSIDE, IN A WAY that was hard for roman to articulate. two - hundred years into the business of being a thinking being, and they still struggled to find the right words. there was no space the vampire couldn't fill with immense silence, it seemed. they'd come to the edge of their family property, the church atop the hill looming large behind them. like a second set of eyes trained into the dark stretching expanse. a noise had startled roman out of the thoughts they had been getting lost in - potentially for days. like someone, or something, calling out. "yo," they started, feet inching closer to the road, eyes adjusting. "can we help you with something? there a soul that needs saving out here?" we. like anyone from the church would come outside to greet lingering strangers. like roman was in the business of saving souls.

He’s felt a weight like this before. He’s felt—no, he’s endured—grief he’s spent his entire life convinced could never be worse. Never heavier. Never deeper, wider, more excruciating of a void in his chest. All this time, Magnifico has wondered how that could even be fair: how an emptiness could hurt so much— There’s nothing there. There’s nothing there. So why does it burn him from the inside out and spread an insatiable inferno through every bone—?
Why is he on fire?
Why is he—
Why is he here?
The thought process was, at the time and even now, nonexistent. He’s been working on impulse ever since opening that book, welcoming in that devastatingly powerful magic despite knowing precisely what that meant: the sacrifices he’d readily make all for the sake of—!
Enough.
Back to the present.
That was then, this is now.
Here.
He’s here because of so many reasons Magnifico can’t count—and so many more he doesn’t yet understand. He’s here because suddenly, inexplicably, he remembers how to breathe for the first time since that magic took hold of him, because he needs only to meet a world-ending, soft understanding in that gaze to feel his impulses have steered him right. He’s here. Because, by the end of all this, he’ll look back and think to himself, Yes, of course. Where else would I have been?
But in that “here,” and in that “now,” he holds on to even a fragment of what he’ll feel later.
It’s enough to get him to stay.
“It’ll do in a pinch,” Magnifico reassures him, and though his voice is low, practically squeezing out with an effort, he spills into it a gratitude that rings there in the undertow. For someone perceptive—someone like Ernesto—it’d be difficult to miss. “The, uhh… accommodations, not the tequila. For the moment.” Clarification, that which he embellishes with a quirk of a smile that doesn’t yet manage to reach his eyes.
And with that, he sidles around the other, caring a stark little about any brush of contact. “If I’m interrupting something”—he hesitates, peers over his shoulder—“well, don’t let me interrupt something.”

"are you looking for anything in particular?" he asked. "maybe something... magical?" okay, he didn't actually know if this place had any full on magic. but, it's worked to sell things before; he's a grifter... sometimes.

@brutestrcngth asked :
❝ hey. do you need some help with that ﹖ ❞
His head whips around ( almost too fast ) at the sound of a voice , his startled expression softening when he registers what the words were. The face was new , but he still recognized her ─ the on ship archeologist he requested after . . well. That isn’t really something he wanted to think about. He looks at the box that he had just set down after a good five minute struggle of trying to get a grasp on it.
❛ Ah - could you ? ❜ He gestures to it. ❛ It was supposed to be going down to archeology anyways. ❜ He pauses for a moment , before giving her a smile. ❛ Doctor King , right ? I’m sorry that this is our first proper meeting. ❜ So much for looking like a strong , capable Captain.

🐢 ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ─────────── “ well, how did that get there ? ” leo commented, as he looked up at the mistletoe that currently hung above him and the person in front of him. he knew exactly how the plant had gotten there. his boss thought it would be cute to decorate for christmas in the bar early, which to each their own but the last day of november felt a tad unnecessary but who was leo to say anything ? he just worked here. baby’s first job ! “ because you’re cute, you get to kiss my cheek… but nothing else, unless…” leo said with a playful wink, before hopping over the bar so he was behind it once more. “ i’m kidding, what kind of guy do you take me for ? giving shit away for free, pfft. anywhizzle, what kind of drink can i get ya ? you won’t believe it we have festive drinks out already. they really go all out here. ”

━━ ˗ˏˋ “So... you wanna dress a guy up as a girl to fuck with Cartman, and Stan won't do it.” Kenny was slow to paraphrase Wendy's suggestion back to her, body leaned in and voice low so only she could hear. But it wasn't like he wasn't down — of course he was gonna do it, he'd been bored out of his mind for weeks now, and Cartman kinda pissed him off the other day.
It's just that, y'know, being asked for help was definitely not a common occurrence anymore. Not for Kenny, anyway. Most people outside of his friend group typically kept away, no thanks to Cartman, or they thought he'd be too high or dull to comprehend their requests.
So a girl coming to him for help, let alone Wendy Testaburger...
“Yeah, I'm in.” He leaned back out of her personal space, a shoulder now rested on the wall of lockers instead. “I'll be at your place an hour before school starts tomorrow, yeah? I can raid my mom's closet, she's gotta have somethin', but makeup takes a while, don't it?”

🎃 ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ─────────── jasper had been in a rush leaving the starbucks he decided to head to. lurking in the shadows was a skill he had mastered while in hallow falls. to be scary he needed to blend in with the dark. so darting from the public was something he had done flawlessly the past month. however, jasper sometimes got too bold for his own good and decided to step out where people could see him. it wasn’t the best idea given the reputation now placed upon him. once he grabbed his coffee he headed straight for the exit. in his rush the skeleton felt himself collide with another body. “ sorry ” although his tone said anything but it was hasty an annoyed. looking down at the person jasper realized it was victoria. his features softened some but there still was an aloofness about him. “ oh, victoria. i didn’t see you there. ”

SLOANE WAS DRIVING FASTER THAN SHE HAD any real right to - like she had somewhere she really needed to be. lost in the volume of the song that was screaming from the speakers, it took an unexpected stop sign for her to snap back into her own head. "whoa," she mumbled, glancing over sheepishly at the passenger seat. "sorry." her voice was flat but jagged, like it was scratching her throat. "sorry. what were you just saying? i missed it."

Hi! Do you ever send memes to your followers?
Hey there, anon! c: Thank you for reaching out!
It may not look it, but I do send memes when I'm feeling them, yes! (〃 ̄ω ̄〃ゞ
My main problem is that I'm weirdly picky about memes...? idk how to describe it, but it goes both for reblogging a meme (which you see I haven't yet – there's your evidence!) and sending in memes. I overthink way too much, which then leads to me not sending things since something didn't "fit the vibe" right.
Furthermore, I've been less active on this dash lately since I'm consumed in another brainrot atm, so most of my activity here in the past month has been hiding in my drafts/inbox replying to current threads rather than starting a lot of new things!
(⌒_⌒;) I do apologize if this has made anyone feel like I'm uninterested. If we're mutuals, then yes, I'm interested. I might just not be super active or hunting down fresh interactions at that given time. 👍

˗ˏˋ closed starter » caleb rivers with aria montgomery @fadingmadness. ˎˊ˗
there's a sigh that leaves his lips. "so, i'm the only one who remembers who everyone is and no one remembers me?" he asked. something about it felt kind of typical, a way caleb had always felt. maybe it was some kind of karma.

🐢 ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ─────────── leo was pouring himself a cup of tea. the clock read 6am and while he would have loved to have been up because he chose to wake up at this ungodly time the truth was insomnia had won once again. leo was actually about to go to bed when he heard the shufflings of someone in the living room. donnie hadn’t been home that night. he texted leo saying he was hanging out with a friend. the slider pushed down his anxiety and decided to trust donnie. he knew his twin could handle his own. so donnie sneaking home at this time in the morning was interesting to say the least. donnie’s outfit even moreso. taking a sip of his tea he leaned in the doorway as he watched his brother. “ hey, buddy, ” the smugness was seeping in his words. “ since when did you attend halloweentown university. ”

"I see more than I say.." As Eric Cartman had found out the hard way. This however, wasn't a threat, just a statement. A meaningful one as blue eyes moved to lock with another set of blue. Would he understand?
━━ ˗ˏˋ What had started as a simple joke towards Butters' one half - blind eye, suddenly sent a nervous shiver down Kenny's back. He sees more than he says? What could that even mean? He actually remembered last week's deadly mishap? He'd caught him with his hero costume?
...Did he catch a glimpse of the skirt he'd hidden in his school bag?
“Psh, haha, what?” Think on your feet, Kenny. His gaze darted away from the other blonde's face, the grin on his own ever so slightly faltering. “You‒ Tch‒ C'mon, man, you ain't seen drugs in my bag, I dunno what you even mean.”
Okay, yeah, fantastic cover.
