where : the parlor when : before 11:30 pm who : @conkniving

ANNAKI WAS IN AN EXCITABLE MOOD, always loving when they had a wide range of people to be around and interact with. They were naturally a social butterfly and flourished in an environment like the one the Halloween party provided. However, it would be a lie if the receptionist tried to think there wasn't one person in particular that their grey eyes weren't searching for amongst the many people that graced the mansion. Images of the last time Fallon had visited then, littered their mind no matter what they were doing or where they were. Atticus' words regarding the situation often had not been forgotten, but the youngest of the quadruplets didn't heed the warning very well, not that Annaki considered trying to possibly be seen as a bit cooler to impress the Bastard as changing herself. A softer sort of affection crossed their face when they noticed exactly who they were looking for, somehow looking even more beautiful than they thought possible. Easily, the short Strawberry Shortcake made her way through the crowd pushing past costumed bodies until she was close enough to catch the other's attention. "Fallon!" Annaki's usual bright smile was on her face as she said her name, grey eyes growing a bit wide as she was given a better view of her all dressed up. "You look....amazing," she breathed, wishing she could have provided a more eloquent compliment, but her mind being at somewhat of a loss of words restricted the formation of one, even as one hand came up to reach for Fallon's hand, if only to brush her fingers against it. "I was going to get a drink, if you want to come with me? I heard they have a bunch of cool, festive ones!"

❝ is something wrong, is there anything I can do to help you ? ❞

the muzzle of hell's eponymous guard dog nudged at fallon's thigh seated on a graves-seong couch, and though gentle as it was, it still emitted a hiss of agony from the femme that annaki was sure to hear through the phone line. it really wasn't helping her case that everything was fine — explanation failing in its ambiguity — and that the days that had ticked by without anything to show for her attentions was for no other reason than, "... i just got... mixed up in some shit." a storm of her own manipulation. it didn't seem likely that annaki's elder had informed her of the state the debt collector had been when cyrek discovered her comatose body, or she was doing a good job of hiding the severity in the chance that fallon might tell them about it herself. it was worry that kept her from diving into the details, how she didn't want to stress annaki with another life event gone wrong. it was getting exhausting, truthfully, that the milestones of their... whatever it was... was dotted with unfortunate events. "i just wanted to call you." there was supposed to be more to say, but that admittance needed a spare breath to let sink in. "i didn't want you thinking i was ignoring you or something." swallowing thickly, leaning black locks back against the cushions and closing her eyes, "i'm at dustin's. needed to get away from the shit for a while. but they're going on a trip soon, i think?" to what degree her concussion was affecting her, fallon knew at the very least it was fucking with her short-term memory. pinching the bridge of her nose, "my next stop is dae-hyun. you know, the guy i work with at the motel, dunno if you've met him. he's in my apartment building, and i need someone to sorta watch me—" well, that was begging to be questioned. "plus, he kinda hates me right now. but he'll be easier to win over again than stella." abruptly, the thai felt exposed. her voice was much softer when, "sorry. i don't know why i just rambled like that. you must be rubbing off on me."

location : top pot doughnuts

@pcisxnivys

ANNAKI HAD THE MOST SUGARY DOUGHNUT in her hands, which was saying something considering how much sugar was already in most doughnuts. She took a large bite from it, leaving her lips covered in powdery icing that she brushed off with her wrist, before swallowing and opening her mouth to speak. It wasn't often that the receptionist was wondering how to phrase things, usually her mouth was faster then her mind, so there wasn't even a chance to think it over. However now, she was at a loss on how she wanted to say what was on her mind, and her head tilted to the side in an act of consideration before words were finally spoken aloud. "Atticus, how can you tell if someone likes you the way you like them?" There was no slow building up to what she wanted to talk about, her question quite blunt the way she blurted out what was on her mind in most situations. There wasn't a lot of shame concerning what she said aloud, especially when it came to her twin brother. And Annaki needed to talk about it with someone. Ever since the power outage, it felt like she couldn't go a couple hours without Fallon popping into her head, even if it was over the simplest of things. "I mean, it's been a long time since you were in that kind of situation, but you have to remember, don't you?" But who else was she supposed to ask? Besides, he always seemed to have answers to anything she's asked before. And she learned long ago his answers were much better than searching them on one of those slow computers at the cafe.

I : THE LOVERS’ MASK

A TALE CALLED THE MOON’S ANGUISH THAT HAS CIRCULATED ANCHORAGE FOR THE PAST SEVERAL DECADES HAS PROMPTED SOME YOUNG LOVERS TO EXCHANGE MASKS AS A PROMISE OF DEVOTION. WHAT DESIGN WOULD MUSE THEORETICALLY THINK FITS THEM?

It would probably be covered in pastel colors with a busy design, representing her loud, yet positive, personality.

SOME MIGHT CONSIDER THEM LEADING A DOUBLE LIFE IF THEY KNEW ABOUT…

There is not much Annaki hides about her life; she is a very upfront person, possibly to a fault. Lying is a task that even if they attempted, they can be seen right through. It's possible that their childhood and the evils faced within it would make some people question if there was more to her, as it doesn't seem to match the way she interacts with the world as an adult.

WHAT WOULD BE THEIR OWN DEAL BREAKER IN A RELATIONSHIP? WOULD THEY DIE FOR LOVE OR KILL FOR MONEY?

When Annaki falls in love, they are all in, which makes it difficult to name a deal breaker, as it would probably be possible for someone to talk their way out of any. Annaki could never kill any being. There has often been times when she has to leave the room when an animal needs euthanasia because she can't handle the procedure. Considering the amount of romantic movies they watch, dying for love would be much more plausible.

THEY ONLY HAVE ENOUGH CHANGE FOR ONE CALL AT THE PHONEBOOTH, & SOMEONE WITH GLARING RED EYES & A SPATULA IS STANDING ACROSS THE STREET. WHO WILL THEY CALL?

Either Atticus out of pure fear, and he tends to be the person who they call when fear strikes, or Fallon because they would trust she would be the one person they know who could definitely beat up the stranger.

II : THE ZEIGEIST OF THE ‘90S

THEIR FAVORITE SLASHER FILM IS (IF APPLICABLE)…

Horror is probably Annaki's least favorite genre, so she has know opinion regarding that.

IN THEIR FREE TIME, THEY ENJOY GOING OUT AND…

Shopping! Or if she is trying to save money, just getting to take Mochi out for a walk is always an enjoyable way to get out of the house.

A FASHION FAD OF THE TIMES THEY ADORE THAT THEIR FRIENDS WOULD DESPISE IS…

Lots of lace, ruffles, and bows. Possibly to an extreme degree.

HOW OFTEN DO THEY ORDER DELIVERY FROM PEPPY’S PIZZERIA? HAVE THEY EVER SEEN THE WALLS OOZE GREEN SLIME IN THE PIZZERIA OR THE ANIMATRONICS MOVE ON THEIR OWN DURING THEIR TIME IN ANCHORAGE?

Annaki doesn't order delivery too often. If she's already at home, she's more likely to make something herself, even if it is just a frozen meal. However, she does regularly go to Peppy's to pick up a slice after working if she's feeling it. She once thought she saw an animatronic move out of the corner of her eye when a show wasn't going on, but she just assumed she was seeing incorrectly.

WHEN THEY BELIEVED IN CHRISTMAS, WERE THEY TOLD KRAMPUS WOULD PAY THEM A VISIT FOR BEING ON THE NAUGHTY LIST?

N/A

WHAT TALL TALE OR SUPERSTITION WERE THEY TOLD AS A CHILD THAT STILL GIVES THEM THE HEEBIE JEEBIES?

Annaki tends to believe in any superstition she's told as she tends to be pretty gullible. One that has always creeped her out is if you knock an empty chair, it can bring an evil spirit into your body.

III : THE CURSE OF THE SPIDER

ARE THERE FAMILY SECRETS OR SO-CALLED CURSES THAT HAUNT THEM? ONES THAT ARE KNOWN PUBLICLY OR FOLLOW THEM FIGURATIVELY?

The past is probably the only thing that Annaki would say is haunting their family.

WHICH OF THE SEVEN SINS WOULD CORRUPT THEIR MORALS?

Probably sloth. If it wasn't for her animals, she would probably spend a lot more days in bed.

THE WORLD REMAINS THE SAME FOR DECADES NOW. IS IGNORANCE BLISS? OR IS THERE THE SHAKY SENSE SOMETHING IS AMISS THAT CAN’T BE IGNORED?

Ignorance is bliss. Her family is safe as far as she knows and she isn't going to go around poking questions when that's all she really needs in life.

DREAMS ARE OFTEN INFLUENCED BY THE SUBCONSCIOUS & SOMETIMES DISTORTED. IN THEIR DEEPEST, DARKEST NIGHTMARES, HOW DO THEY VIEW THEMSELVES?

That she doesn't stand up even when she knows injustices are happening. She's weak. When they were kids, she never tried to stop the things that were happening, that were hurting her siblings. If she did, would they have been harmed less? There will never be any way to know because she never did. She always runs and hides. And most of the time, she always runs to Atticus. But there's that feeling, that worry, that he doesn't feel that same protection from her because when did she ever display it when it came to their parents? In her worst nightmares, her siblings hold resentment over her for being weak, for not doing more.

IV : THE CROOKED FRAME

WHAT IS THEIR DEATH WISH ? MIROIRS ONLY (BASTARDS GANG INCLUDED): THE PERFECT CRIME WAS CONSTRUCTED & SOMEONE ELSE TOOK THEIR PLACE. HOW DID THEY ORIGINALLY DIE?

If she could control it, she would go in her sleep, without even being conscious to experience it.

MUSE COULDN’T BE THE ONE BEHIND THE TUNNEL OF LOVE OUTAGE BECAUSE WHEN THE POWER WENT OUT, THEY WERE…

Picking out a romantic comedy to watch and pouring herself a glass of wine.

WHAT WOULD THEY CONSIDER THEIR CALLING CARD (I.E. WHAT SYMBOLS, PERSONAL MEMENTOS, ETC. DO THEY PERCEIVE AS REPRESENTATIVE OF THEMSELVES)?

The color pink. Most symbols related to dogs. Warm hugs.

THOSE WITH INTERMEDIATE TECHNICAL SKILLS HAVE USED CRACKS & VPNS TO IMPROVE THE INTERNET CONNECTION, BUT ANYTHING POST-DATING THE 1990S IS ONLY ACCESSIBLE THROUGH THE DARK WEB. HAS MUSE EVER ACCESSED THE DARK WEB? HAVE THEY USED IT FOR ANY NEFARIOUS MEANS OR TO PURCHASE SERVICES?

No, Annaki doesn't have the skills to access the dark web and hasn't really had any reason to, so it isn't exactly something she concerns herself with.

when : july 13th where : annaki's home, delilah den's gated community @conkniving

THE MOMENT ANNAKI WAS ALERTED THAT FALLON was released, she was immediately texting her, unable to keep the spam of text messages to themself. After not getting to see or speak to her due to the pig incident, she had been aching to see her, see how she was. Annaki had no familiarity with the criminal system and, because of that, no reason to have an understanding of it, leaving her mostly in the dark during this whole process. All her knowledge came from crime shows that she would usually avoid, choosing to instead watch something cheesy or romantic. Because of that, she was only left to believe the worst of what Fallon was going through, the concern only encouraging her multiple messages towards the biker when they had gotten word that she was finally not being contained. Inviting her over without second thought, practically telling her to appear as soon as she had a moment, Annaki wondered if Fallon would actually show, if she had too many things already going on to spend time to see her. Mochi was lazily laid upon the couch, eyes dutifully following his owner while the miniature pig waddled around, following in Annaki's footsteps wherever she moved. When there was a knock on her door, it felt as if her heart skipped a beat, rushing to throw it open. Seeing Fallon on the other side only born a smile that could've almost broke her face in half. Without a word, she threw her arms around the other's neck, affection given without question. "You're here." There weren't words to describe how happy she was to see her, not even trying to find them. One hand coming to one of her shoulder blades, the receptionist pulled Fallon into her home, quickly following with, "If I leave the door open too long, Pickles will sneak out. I tried to bring him to see you. I didn't think it was a big deal, but then they kept me at the police station for a couple hours and sent him to the animal shelter!" The disbelief in her voice was obvious, and her eyes dropped to look at the pig himself as she closed the door. With the door now closed, she could take in Fallon's appearance, her expression. "Are you okay?" her tiny voice finally asked, the hand that was on the back of her shoulder dropping to run down her arm, landing to hold her forearm gently. "I made coffee?"

location ; outside the tunnel of love 

date ; valentine’s day

ANNAKI COULDN’T DENY THE SMILE THAT CROSSED HER FACE with every message she received from Fallon. She was always one who wore her emotions on her sleeve, incapable of hiding her thoughts as they were easily read on her face. It would be a lie if she said that after New Years that the moments they shared alone had frequented her mind on a regular basis, the redhead practically blushing just at the idea of when she would next see her. The last thing she expected to wake up to was a present from the exact person who had made herself at home on her mind, not that Annaki was looking to evict her from the premise any time soon. The flowers were delicately handled, showcased on her kitchen counter after diagonally cutting the stems to make them last as long as possible. Just the sight of them was something she wanted to extend, as the feeling in her chest as she looked at them was more than she could currently describe.

The idea of a Valentine’s celebration fit too perfectly into something Annaki would enjoy, hoping she could totally inconspicuously run into Fallon during the event. She was never one to bite her tongue, but Fallon was different. She was so much cooler than she would ever be, seemed somehow far to reach in the way she wanted. And yet, Annaki didn’t want to give up. Fallon was....well, she wasn’t sure she met someone as special ever. So, she could prove she could be badass, or as badass as Fallon needed, despite her need to constantly wear pink, collect stuffed animals, and watch cartoons.

She was elated that Fallon was texting her that day, walking around with a half-eaten cone of pink cotton candy in her hand when her eye caught a sight of the exact person on her mind. Except, that sight included her walking into the Tunnel of Love with someone else. It was probably stupid to make assumptions, but Annaki was never one who was good at denying her emotions. Besides, what was going on between the two of them was never stated to be something serious, was it? So this wasn’t something she could reasonably be upset by. Dumping the last bit of her cotton candy into a nearby trash can as her appetite had left her, the redhead made her way towards the exit of the carnival when suddenly the lights of the tunnel of love went completely dark. Walking to the exit of the ride, she was alarmed to see the doors shut, unable to be moved with pressure. “Hello?” Her voice was initially soft, before concern took more control of her. Her small fist banged thrice on the exit door, as she said louder, “Hello? I’m trying to open this!” But there was no handle or mechanism to pull, and shoving her shoulder a couple times did nothing, only further increasing her panic. “Can anyone hear me?”

where : new year’s celebration

@conkniving​

ANNAKI LOVED TO TALK TO ANYONE POSSIBLE, but large parties could make her a bit on edge. When she was one on one with a person, she felt free to share whatever she thought. This even applied in a small group. But when it came to a large crowds, her differences were suddenly upfront in her mind. She had been sticking by her brother’s side, finding comfort there. She was giggling at a lame jokes given by someone else, until out of the corner of her eye, she noticed Fallon. Rom com’s were totally stereotypical, despite how much she loved them, and she tangled her fingers as she considered how to approach her. She was already her friend, so why was her heart beating so fast at the thought of talking to her? She swallowed her nervousness, hoping it wouldn’t take revenge on her. “I really like your outfit. You look beautiful.” Was that too forward? Her mind was in constant flurry over if she ruined everything with that comment. “I mean that in a normal way, because you look great, but it is totally in a casual way.” Why did she have to sound so absolutely stupid now that she finally gained a conversation with Fallon? She mildly blamed how Fallon looked at that moment, how she could have been a model the way she was wearing that dress. To be fair, every time Annaki had seen her before, she always thought she could be a model. She was just too shy to say anything. “Have you been enjoying your New Years?”​
