location: vievecor city library status: open  @vievecorcitystarters​

Today was a popular day for the library. There was a summer reading program for kids going on, some kids were taking advantage of the study rooms for games, and there was a book club going on in the afternoon. Persy liked it when the library was lively. There were sections were quiet, but there were also areas to hear the children and others speaking and interacting. It was what made the library such a community hub. She was doing a round, walking through sections and rooms to make sure that everything was still safe and under control. 

As she made her way back to her desk, she saw someone waiting in front of it, clearly needing something. The witch hurried over, the carpet quieting her steps. “I’m so sorry to keep you waiting,” she apologized as she approached. There was supposed to be another librarian around, but they must have gone off somewhere. “What can I help you with?”

             there's an agitated air around the redhead already, frustration  e v i d e n t  in the way in which she moves; with purpose, with conviction, with anger. it's been another week of terrible press and lectures from daddy dearest, and all pippa wants is to let LOOSE and forget about it. letting loose is never quite as easy as all that, though. if it were any other time, she'd call one of her long-time hook ups and arrange a little sleepover but -- well, she isn't in the mood. that much is clear. when she eventually comes to a stop, propping herself up against the brick wall, she lights a  c i g a r e t t e  almost immediately, taking a drag and trying to RELAX, though the tension of her form doesn't seem to want to leave anytime soon. eyes scanning the horizon, the muscle in her jaw suddenly jumps, gaze  NARROWING  upon a familiar and not entirely welcomed face. it isn't as though she has to greet the other, but she can't help but jump right in anyway, insult  a l r e a d y  loaded on the tip of her tongue, " wow veronica, look at you -- you look even more slutty than usual ! congrats.

ROUND 3:  FACE YOUR FEARS

the next round was uneven so the twins brought in a random member back in and honey was the (un)lucky winner !

remember, this round is a very different.  before fighting, each contestant is put into a trance that forces them to re-live or live out their worst fear and they will think it is real.  whoever comes to terms with the fear first will snap out of their daze and have an upper hand against their opponent.   that being said, it is also possible for someone to never make it out of their dream state until they are properly knocked out or taken out of the ring.

alex v honey  ( tied, discuss )

eli v levi  ( tied, discuss )

evian v rosie

noire v margo

bold are the predicted winners

the the p.w. are chosen as a result of the stats information we received.   please speak to the person you were paired up with so you can discuss it further because different situations can change the outcome as we don’t know how your character would react in specific scenarios.

if anything changes, message the main to let us know who the new winner is and remember not to thread this but rather post a summary of what happens. that being said, posting what happens is optional as well but it will be fun ! you have until  4/30 11:59pm pst to let us know the new winner(s) as well as posting the summary of the third round !

location: Persy’s apartment with: @vivian-ambrose​ 

When Vivian had first started spending long hour at the library, she had very clearly been uncomfortable every time Persy had approached. Slowly, she began to talk to her and ask her, at first, if there were other books she had been looking for. It was a very slow process but she was patient. After all, someone who spent long hours in the library reading was someone the witch couldn’t help liking. Eventually, Persy began to sit with her and they would talk about whatever Vivian was reading, then food and cooking, and soon they talked like good friends. When she’d asked Vivian if she wanted to join her for a day of baking, it seemed like the perfect time to hang out.

She’d made sure to have extra ingredients around and everything was clean in case they needed it. Hearing a knock, Persy opened the door with a smile. “Hi, Viv. Come on in, I was just making sure we have everything.”

inquiry | louie & persy

location: the mind’s eye with: @louiegrimaldi

While it wasn’t something she would normally considered, she had already started delving into the dark side of magic and she was worried what other witches in her coven might think if she started looking into potions and spells that numbed or altered her emotions. When she had heard about a particular location that might have what she looked for, Persy went back and forth with herself, even going to the alleyway a few times before she finally committed to the idea. The riddle was a fun challenge for her, as if her way of proving to herself that she could handle this, even though surely everyone who knew her would argue that she, in fact, could not in this situation. 

When she finally gained access, her nerves filled her again but she pressed on, stepping into the beautiful establishment. It was a few minutes for her to take in her surroundings, actually liking it quite a bit despite how uneasy she still felt. Still, Persephone was stubborn and wanted to see this through. She’d already gotten so far, there was little point in turning back now. She ordered herself a drink but she didn’t quite settle, unable to when she was still trying to figure out who it was she had to talk to. When she noticed a tall and broody looking gentleman gazing at her, her instincts told her he was who she was looking for. With the assistance of the little bit of alcohol in her system, she made her way over to him. 

“I heard that if I was looking for something unusual, this would be the place. Is that true?”

location: ballroom, near the end of the night with: @eremington

Her mind was filled with thoughts, heartache and confusion swirling and making it difficult to focus on anything. Between kissing Hemi and having Eiji tell her just how much he hated her, she was starting to think all she was doing was making bad choices with her life. And not to mention her encounters with Layla and Izak, which each had their own effects on her thoughts.

 She hadn’t seen Elijah in hours but when she set eyes on him again, she crossed the space with quick steps, almost gliding across the smooth floor. Persy slipped her arm through his and leaned against him, comforted by his presence. When she was with him, she knew she’d be okay, at least for tonight. She could struggle with her thoughts again tomorrow when she didn’t have so much alcohol in her system. 

“Nobody’s dying,” she said softly, remembering the promise he had made to her. Right now, she needed his arms around her, keeping her from spiraling in her own thoughts. “I need you.”

la vie en rose

After a night of not much sleep at all, Persephone thanked Hemi for his kindness in letting her stay with him before returning to her home. It was quiet and dim, almost like the first day she had moved in. She changed clothes and spent some time thinking over what she wanted to say, wanting to be clear and concise and not leave any openings to be manipulated. She was going to settle for nothing but the truth. 

She considered calling him and asking him to come over but soon changed her mind and made her way to the tower. She didn’t spend a lot of time there, spending more of her time in the library than any other coven related location. It was a daunting building but she continued her way to the top, knocking at his door softly. 

“Eli? It’s me. Can I come in?”

@eremington​

[persyweiss]

While she hadn’t actually been hiding, it seemed a lot of people knew where she was. Perhaps most surprising of all was Layla showing up. It wasn’t like they were close friends but they did get along, for the most part. Persy wasn’t about to turn her away, not when the woman was making an effort, even if that effort seemed more geared towards teasing Hemi. At the very least, they both had experiences with relationships and she could use that kind of help at the moment. 

“I can’t imagine what kind of advice you have for me, but I’m all ears.”

@hemi-tekoha​​

After her conversation with Kyoko, she had wanted to get as far away as possible, unable to bring herself to see her boyfriend. Somehow, that “far away” place ended up being Vicium. She knew he was probably busy with work or having fun, but she felt safe with him and knew neither of the witches would show up there. She made her way up to his office, familiar with it from their lessons. Persy could hide in there until she felt comfortable enough to leave. He wasn't there when she reached his office but she made herself comfortable in an arm chair, conjuring up a blanket, some tea, and a book. After a while, Hemi came through the door.

"Hey. Sorry. I just needed to get away for a bit. Things are..." She didn't want to lie to him but it was a lot to dump on a guy. "I’m avoiding Elijah right now and this felt like the only safe place to go.” It wasn’t the location that was safe, it was Hemi that made her feel safe.

location: esme’s home year: 2058 with: @esmeraldabheriya

There were few places she felt safer, and happier, than in Esme's home with her family. The children and her undying affection for Uardo, and his for her, was a warmth and a comfort in an otherwise bleak world. She especially loved being an auntie to their youngest child, although the sweet darling often gave her baby fever, though that wasn't something that was going to happen, not for her. Even if she wanted to bring a child into this world, she didn't think Luke, or even Elijah, would be interested in that with her.

"But how are you doing?" she asked, wanting to make it clear she didn't want to hear any more about the pack or her other children or Eduardo. She needed to know that her friend wasn't becoming overwhelmed by things. "Is there anything I can do for you?"

[persyweiss]

year: 2058 with: @lucasxholt​

Things were getting rapidly worse and Persy was constantly plagued by worries, especially when it came to Luke. She had seen such a stark difference in him when he’d reappeared after being held captive and whatever was coming couldn’t be much better. Though they hadn’t known each other before the hacks that set all these events in motion, she came come to trust him deeply, making her affection, and worry, even stronger. Even so, his strength would shine any time he was being stubborn, like he was now. 

“I’m not saying we have to make friends with everyone,” she replied, leaning her body against his and resting her head against his shoulder, “but the Remington Tower is far more secure and I’d feel a lot safer if we were both there. Please? Do this for me?”

dance with me / hemi & persy

Persy had picked up her first drink of the night almost immediately. She wanted to deny that she was irritated that Elijah hadn't wanted to go to the party together and she couldn't help but wonder if he didn't want to be in a relationship with her. Maybe she was overthinking it but all she wanted was a serious relationship with someone who cared about her and gave her the affection and attention she craved. Still, she didn't let that sour the party spirit. She saw some friends, chatted and danced, but her face really lit up when she saw Hemi, looking handsome and as charming as ever. With the alcohol already in her system, there was nothing keeping her flirty thoughts in.

"Hey there, handsome," she greeted, moving closer with a warm smile on her pale pink lips. At the very least, he was always good company. And there was a chance Elijah might see the pair of them chatting and get irritated. The small part of her that was petty hoped so. "I was wondering when I'd see you. I need someone to to keep me company and be my dance partner."

aftermath // elijah & persy

The explosion of Dumisani tower had been completely unexpected and had shaken every witch that belonged to the three covens, as well as maybe some witches who didn’t. The Dumisani witches were well equipped and educated to handle such dangerous plants, it wasn’t simply an accident. When the call had gone out, Persephone had been on the scene immediately, providing assistances everywhere she could. Now, it was several days later, and yet that did not ease her nerves to have the event in the past. If someone had targeted the Dumisani coven with the explosion, it wasn’t too much of a stretch to think the other covens were next. 

She had arranged to meet Elijah the next morning, very aware how her worries would simply grow until they were unmanageable if she let them. “Thank you for meeting with me, Elijah. I’m having a lot of concerns regarding the incident at Dumisani tower and I’d really like to discuss them with you, if that’s alright.”

@hemi-tekoha​

The thought had been linger in her mind, festering like a fungus that grew until it corrupted her every thought, cursing her like a hex. The resources currently at her disposal weren’t enough and, while she could reach out and try to find a witch who specialised in shadow magic, it made far too much sense to simply go to the source. Nobody was able to wield shadow magic like demons could. While she hadn’t picked up the distrust of demons in moving to the city, she had seen enough of their self-serving attitudes to knew she had to be cautious. 

Nobody seemed to care she was in Hedon and she moved along the street with ease. Spotting the club, Persephone decided it was now or never. The more chances she gave herself to question her choices, the more likely she was to change her mind. It had already taken a lot of decide to finally come here, she couldn’t back down now. The club was a lot at once, the lights and sounds and smells and noises. It took her a second to compose herself again. This was not a place she normally choose to be in, but she knew the demon who owned it specialised in shadow magic, and he was the right person to ask. Hopefully. She just didn’t know how to find him. 

It took everything for her to push her way through the crowd, ending up at the bar. If she had worn something a little more revealing, Persy was sure she would have gotten the bartender’s attention sooner but, eventually, she was able to ask about the owner. With a little bit of convincing, a server was called over to show her where he was. When she found him, he had someone kneeling beside him, vying for his attention. 

“Hemi Te Koha, I have an offer for you.”
