LOCATION: Dynasty’s Playground; Theatre: Art of Betrayal, Act III. TIME: Late, idk. CLOSED FOR: @hokuspocus​​

Avoiding people only works for so long, because then come the time when something as mundane as needing to use the lavatory begins to crawl up on a person and invoke the inevitable.

For fucks sake.

Into the crowd Atemu went – skipped the fucking queue. Threatened electrocution to anyone who’d argue it. In return, had a few dangerous threats thrown back with equal vigour. He was pissed off as it was, so anything with enough danger to concern Atemu probably didn’t ever need to use the bathroom anyhow; he wasn’t sure if the dead pissed, nor did he care to ask; the odds were stacked on his side on the who’s more powerful war of fists.

But he’d believe that even if he weren’t. And really, if Valdana wasn’t within some kind of eye range to warn him off bringing the sky down on the roof of the theatre, he might have lost his temper and blown a gasket already.

The sorcerer almost slipped back undetected and scored a pointer when not dragged into some pointless conversation as he left the washroom, shoved his way towards the rear aisle only to find himself double glancing at a head of hair – automated, like his brain locked onto a target that needed his entire body twisting to address the woman. One of the few who in the back of his mind he’d attended purely to be witness ( and executioner ) to any and all carnage that joined the bracket of inevitabilities that he’d chalked the night down to.

Haylee. Alive. Great.

Fucking move past, job accomplished. Not damn dead. Should have kept walking after that. But he didn’t, instead  –  best, how the fuck are you Elmasry could muster came out as:

“Dubois, you’re always in the fucking way,”

Atemu  📲 Ayfanura

Atemu: Is it more, or less full of fuckery your end?

Evanora:far less then on yours

Evanora: how are you?

Atemu: Noted.

Evanora: atemu, you guys have to figure this out.

Evanora: friend a fae, have them read the minds of the humans, maybe one of them is privy to his game

Atemu: That involves conversing with people.

Atemu: And I'd really rather not.

Evanora: then don't do it for yourself

Evanora: do it for the people there we both know you'd rather not die

Atemu: They're not going to die.

Atemu: The fucker might be insane, but I don't think he's quite reached martyr yet.

Evanora: regardless, if i were there i might be willing to bargain my life but certainly not yours.

Atemu: There will be no bargaining.

Atemu: Stay with your fanger, enjoy your night. Keep it uneventful.

Evanora: enjoy my night, right

Evanora: be safe, atemu

Atemu: I’m not going to die because some fool wants a power trip.

Atemu: Be safe, I guess it’s too much to comment that you stay bite free too.

Evanora: some being so big headed

Evanora: he has plenty of offers, so that may not be an impossible ask

Atemu: You won’t want to hear what I have to say about that, Ev.

Evanora: atemu, please

Evanora: i'm sure i've heard it all before

Atemu: Likely. You don’t need to hear it again then.

Atemu: Though, you had the right idea with avoiding theatre.

Evanora: can we maybe skip the part where you shame me for my relationship choices and instead focus on you being safe?

Evanora: do you have eyes on reina too?

Evanora: it wasn't my intention. i had planned to be there with you all, but he asked and so you. . . you know the rest

Atemu: I’m not shaming you. I am telling you to be safe too. Reina’s around, I’ve seen her.

Atemu: For once, I am glad the fanger kept you out of this madman’s puzzle games.

Evanora: there may not be many things i can count on but i do know for certain he wouldn't ever let another hurt me

Evanora: i'm safe and that makes one of us

Atemu: And I would?

Evanora: of course not

Atemu: I’m not there. I get it.

Evanora: you would never come to a thing like this

Atemu: I’ll get out. Might even bring your vamp a present from here afterwards.

Atemu: I wouldn’t without fucking good reason.

Evanora: i'm sure he'll enjoy it. he's been spoiled.

Atemu: Nor am I into theatre, but here I am — with a questionable reason.

Evanora: well, not sure you'll ever be given one of those

Atemu: You’re enough.

Evanora: questionable or not, it's a reason

Evanora: that's sweet, thank you

Atemu: You better be safe. Okay.

Evanora: your not going anywhere

Atemu: Nor are you.

Evanora: i do wish you were here

Atemu: And I wish I were anywhere but here.

Evanora:i wish that too

Evanora: but you'll be fine

Atemu: Always am. 🥱

Evanora: 🙄 your cockiness better really show up to play tonight

Evanora: because if something happens to you, in red queen fashion, heads will roll

Atemu: I’m still here, aren’t I? Gets me somewhere.

Atemu: I wouldn’t mind seeing heads roll by your hand, it’d be a sight.

Evanora: now you sound like him.

Atemu: Great. 👍🏽

Evanora: anyways

Evanora: it's not often i feel that kind of anger come over me

Atemu: I usually beat you to any punches.

Evanora: lucky me

Evanora: surrounded by murderers so that i don't have to be one

Evanora: but you know, your not anger and death

Atemu: Theres a reason you’re holding on to your light, Ev.

Evanora: despite what you may like to pretend

Evanora: we need access to both

Evanora: there is power in both

Atemu: I’m not going to debate magic with you. We’ve done this dance before.

Atemu: I’ve never denied there isn’t.

Evanora: atemu, i'm not fighting with you.

Atemu: We’re not fighting.

Evanora: i'm just preparing you for what is to come.

Atemu: I’m telling you to be safe and I’m not bringing the theatre roof down.

Evanora: i'm fascinated by the dark, you know this but there is still need for the light.

Evanora: don't you dare

Atemu: We’ve talked about balance. I know.

Atemu: You are light.

Evanora: i am now, yes.

Evanora: but your darkness is still beautiful and magnificent

Evanora: and we will need it

Atemu: It’ll be brutal if he hurts you.

Evanora: he would kill anyone who did

Evanora:and i wouldn't let him

Evanora: no matter the cost

Atemu: Take care.

Atemu: I’ll survive just to make sure you did.

Evanora: that's a promise?

Atemu: We’re not passing over anytime soon.

Evanora: forever, atemu

Atemu: Don’t.

Evanora: deal with it

Atemu: I won’t let you go, ayfanura

Evanora: i'm counting on that

🪓 // Something, if anything, my muse would die for. - atemu

"A way to bring Aelia back, I'd trade my life for hers."

He'd never say it aloud, but there's a few others who he'd consider putting his life on the line for as of late.
