“let’s play.” @aleera
the queen's gambit.
"yes, yes . . ." she leans forward, talons grasping the edge of the rooftop where she perches as her head tilts to better observe It, leathery wings still tucked in against her back for the moment. "i love games."
a trilling giggle spills forth, and she falls headlong in a flurry of grey-ish flesh and pink fabric, landing on her feet in a guise of beauty that seems out of place in light of the death that reeks around them, torn villagers strewn at her feet, some still gasping their last breaths. "what shall we play?"

Each step brings a creaking sound from the wood below the weight of her foot, a moan of the old Creel house which barely stands on its own anymore. Seems like it's half-sighing as it roots further into the ground, sinking in its slow death, a forgotten relic haunted by a lifetime of misfortune and subsequent neglect. There could be many arguments made for putting it out of its misery, this old grief-stricken thing with blood and ghosts haunting the drywall. Nancy finds herself agreeing with most of them. Flashlight in hand, the Nancy Drew of Hawkins, Indiana peers down the hallway with no small measure of caution, slow in her actions and keeping one foot always poised behind her, as if ready to turn on a dime to run back out the way she came. To be here alone is a mistake: she knows this. But her hunch had led her straight here, and if no one cared to believe her when she said she knew something was wrong, she'd just have to investigate independently.
A loud, sudden woody groan lets out from just behind her and she spins, finding nothing in particular except old cobwebs and a termite-ridden plank of wood hanging loose from the wall. Jesus, she hated being doubted. Made for seriously lonely excursions.
With a deep breath she reoriented herself in neither direction, not down the hall nor towards the sound from just behind her, but instead she began approaching the staircase, moving with meticulous action up each step and holding tight to the banister as she ascended. Halfway up is when the sounds began shifting, the wooden groans twisting into something more akin to a voice, though the words themselves she couldn't quite make out, slurred and mumbled and unintelligible. At first she thought it was a trick of her ear, that her own heebie-jeebies were getting the best of her, because believe as she might in many-a-weird thing, ghosts weren't one of them. Bracing herself, yet another breath taken in with a sharper air this time, she continued, unabashed in the face of whispered murmurs.
Of course, she was reckless, not stupid; as she began to reach the top of the stairs she used one hand to pull around her backpack, balancing it against her hip, digging through to pull out the pistol she'd snuck out from underneath her bed. Just in case. She shrugs the bag back onto her shoulder, a quick action, done admittedly rather gracefully given the loaded gun in her palm but not quite perfectly enough to avoid one of the spare boxes of ammo slipping through the partly unzippered opening and allowing it to clumsily clunk against the floorboards near the edge of the steps.
" Shit! " She winces as she points the light back down towards the box, a few bullets escaping and teetering precariously, ready to fall off and roll down the entire flight. With a grimace, she begrudgingly lowers down to pick them up before realizing she's got her hands pretty full. Light or gun. Didn't feel like a good idea to risk going gunless, so flashlight it was; she balanced it gently on the stair beside her, pointed towards the small cardboard box and neighboring metal bullets. Delicate hand moves to pick them up one by one, placing the ammo back in the box and pocketing it. Got it. A bit exasperated, she sighs ––– this sucks. She should have dragged Jonathan along. The only success she's beginning to think she'll find here is that of succeeding in scaring herself near to death just by making stupid mistakes.
As she stands, remembering to pick up the flashlight, she turns to the shock of company: beady eyes and a white-painted face, staring back at her with her doe-eyed terror as she looks on in awe for just a moment before toppling back and losing her balance. Bullets spew against the stairs and fall alongside her, though she does well to catch herself midway down the staircase (not for lack of injury, there's a sharp pain in her left hand and shin that she's choosing to ignore for the time being). As she clamors up she begins to crawl the rest of the way down the stairs, forcing herself up as she meets the ground and speeding towards the front door.
She was sure there was a door there. She meets only wall. Wasting no time, she runs towards the parlor room, nearly tripping over the white-sheet-covered furniture which no doubt makes great moth-fodder, scrambling uneasily through towards a smaller room in the back, something which appears to be a study. She looks around for anything, a door, a window, something to break herself out of, but finding nothing and knowing her paths are few, she opts to duck beneath the large mahogany desk. Here the pain begins to become a bit more apparent, as well as the realization that not only had she dropped the extra bullets, but her flashlight, too. Only her gun remained. Six rounds. Shit.
Slow, steady, she moves to peer around the corner of the desk, trying to spot if that thing was nearby. Nothing. A shaky breath releases and she shuts her eyes, trying to center herself.
It is a voice which then calls out, like that old creaking wood of the house, a settling of its bones, as @pennywise asks, ❝ why are you hiding from me, nancy? ❞
Eyes bound open as she pulls the trigger by instinct alone, leaving only a bullet lodged deep into the armoire across her. She scurries upwards, turning like rapidfire to survey the room.
" Who's there? " Her question's less so and more a demand: WHO'S THERE? She points the gun with an intent fervor, albeit a bit feverish in her demeanor, as she takes cautious steps out from behind the desk and towards the entry of the parlor yet again. " Don't –– screw with me, I'll shoot. "

It reaches out from beneath the bed ; a chitinous hand, alien fingers long as femurs, close around her ankle in a single fluid movement ...
the sun had set long ago or so it seemed. neibolt was more shadow than house and outside the grimy windows stretched an endless abyss. she’d been searching for It for hours now, her feet sore from walking on warped floorboards and shaky stairs. the shadows moved with charlotte, rebuilding and restructuring as she went along; surely, she had passed the monster several times, if not hundreds of times by now, for It was the shadows and the dirt and the breathing walls and the watching doors. there had been moments when the void’s vessel had forgotten the reason for her wandering and she found herself peering too closely into dark corners and strange glints. she did not remember this now, but for an entire hour, charlotte had sat staring into the glass covering of a small clock on the living room mantle and she’d wept hot tears at what she’d seen of the past and the future, warped across the glass. 𝙿𝙴𝚁𝙷𝙰𝙿𝚂 𝙸𝚃 𝙸𝚂 𝙵𝙾𝚁 𝚃𝙷𝙴 𝙱𝙴𝚂𝚃 𝚃𝙷𝙰𝚃 𝚂𝙷𝙴 𝙳𝙾𝙴𝚂 𝙽𝙾𝚃 𝚁𝙴𝙼𝙴𝙼𝙱𝙴𝚁, whispered a voice much kinder than her own.
upstairs stretched a long corridor of yawning doors. somewhere in the back of her mind, charlotte knew that this was impossible, that neibolt was taller than it was wide and a corridor as long as this could not fit inside. but what she knew and what she saw in front of her have always often been two very different things. charlotte walked down the very middle of the hallway, her arms stretched out to either side of her body, pale digits spread out and reaching into the air in front of each room like an insect’s feelers. if the hour had not been so late, a more diligent version of herself may have checked every room for signs of It, but the hour was passed late and had gone into non - existence. I AM WEARY AS I EVER AM, but i simply do not have in myself to quit. that was not how i was made. one - hundred steps later, charlotte found herself still at the half - way point down the corridor and she paused, an idea coming to her mind. she closed one eye, levelled her gaze at the far wall, and slowly slid her eye down to where the wall met the dirty hardwood.
𝚃𝙷𝙸𝚂 𝙵𝚄𝙲𝙺𝙸𝙽𝙶 𝙵����𝙱𝚄𝙻𝙰𝚃𝙸𝙽𝙶 𝙵𝚄𝙽𝙷𝙾𝚄𝚂𝙴.
dropping her arms, charlotte swiveled on her heels and headed into the nearest dark doorway, and felt the shuddering of a fragile, frantic reality as the door slammed close behind her. lungs half - drowned in the murk of this abyssal house huffed out a breath of stale air, a dead woman’s final breath. it was a small bedroom filled with decaying remnants of a child’s fantasy. the bed sheets were frilly and a faded robin - egg’s blue, but the bed frame was practically skeletal. the dolls slumped on the dresser, necks bent and mouths gaping with their last horrid cries. only an open jack - in - the box appeared vibrant and lively on the bedside table. it was still as a stopped motion - picture until charlotte stepped closer. without so much as creak, the well - oiled spring began to sway and the plastic bells on jack’s head jingled cheerfully. scowling, charlotte bent at the waist until she as eye - to - eye with the toy. “ hm, you’re not the one i’m looking for. have you seen another guy like you? BIGGER, MEANER, AND A ROTTEN EGG FOR A HEAD? no? didn’t think so. ” her spine snapped straight and she moved to close the box, but something closed around her ankle first.
charlotte shrieked and every doll on the dresser shrieked in response. in a split - second of panic, she tried to jerk her leg away from the monster’s grip, but the warped floorboards warped once more, and her knee buckled. depending on how things could be defined, charlotte either tripped over herself or nothing at all and fell forwards. her head banged against the bedside table. the jack - in - the - box danced madly, bouncing in excitement as charlotte crumpled to the ground, groaning softly. blood sluiced down from her forehead, soaked her brow, and pooled into a shuddering socket. the unfortunate eye - ball inside said socket rolled wildly before finally settling on the dense shadows beneath the bed, half - hidden by the frills. “ first of all, ow. second of all, you just lost, you fucking silly clown. you gave yourself away. that’s three - two, now, eh, penny? don’t eat my fucking foot. you sore loser. ” / @bobgray .

* PHANTOM LINE — @bobgray.
THE VOICE COMES FROM ‘NEATH THE FLOORBOARDS of her bedroom. the call of a bewitched siren, appealing, the sound of pearls, and somehow in the same breath, as petrifying as looking DEATH in the eye. in the heart of her haven, she remains upright, raveled ‘mong pillows and blankets that twine around her wings, trapping her to the bed [ THE VOICE OF BRADLEY? NO. YOUR MOTHER? MAYBE EVEN UNCLE DAN’S. ] a crude impersonation of all three, enmeshed and intertwisted to create a vile melody of memories, beckoning the seer from her nest, where she creeps ‘cross the room in palpable dread.
WANT TO PLAY WITH US, ABRA? come and play. you can bring buh - buh - billy. you can tell him georgie’s down here . . . WAITING. we’re all waiting, abra.
❝ fuck you, ❞ whispered balefully through the clench of her teeth, wrath finds a home in the remains of a girl, the bedroom laments to her shine ; searches the floors and walls, the vents and drapes, pursuing the voice arduously. ❝ c - come out. come out right now — come out or i’ll find you. ❞

IN THE DAYS FOLLOWING VIY’S DEPARTURE DEATH LINGERED IN EVERY DARK CORNER OF BUYAN, IN EVERY SILENCE HE WAITED, LISTENING FOR THE CRIES OF THE GRIEVING . marya morevna kept her sorrows under lock & key, she kept it under her tongue until the moon was high & her husband’s breathing cleaved her in two. It was only then that marya would allow herself to come undone, unwound & steeped in tears. Now her tears are dried, she is every bit the tsarista of death, the queen across the sea, dearest volchitsa. All hardened edges, bared teeth & cruel eyes, something catches her eye in the fountain, something broke the surface of the blood & it was watching her. marya approaches regally, chin set stubbornly, lifted, shoulders squared with certainty, a frown wrinkles the lovliness of her face. . ‘ what do you want ? ‘

Something I really love about Pennywise fanart is that everyone has their way of drawing his hair. Long? Spikes? Wavy hair that makes it look like he puts rollers in every night? You name IT!

the face in the mirror would stare back at her just as it did any other time. only now, she wasn’t looking. the girl in the mirror felt half-mad. knowing the sun had set, she would be sleeping in a lonely house. a dark house. dark shadows and DARK DRAINS. with a brush, she ran through the knots in her hair, unruly and wet from the shower. the blood had been wiped clean but the smell lingered in the walls and under her skin. burnt copper and fleshy roadkill. she scrubbed herself raw that dreadful night, irritated skin glowing red and patchy. it did not help. i’ll be working ‘till the morning. so’s your momma, her father had told her. you be good, bevvy. and while the pat he gave her head was affectionate, his eyes were not. A SHUDDER RAN THROUGH HER. from a part in her bangs, she watches the mirror. and for what felt like only half a second, she could’ve sworn she saw the face change. / @bobgray

10. pantry.
LOADS of meat . meat of every kind . he's such a carnivore . if you need any meat , you go to Thor . same goes for alcohol , he has his own stash of mead stored in there for alcohol - related emergencies . and then the basic requirements for hunting and seasoning your own food before roasting it over a spit , so definitely a shelf for Asgardian herbs and spices . likely some chopped up wood lying around in the corner too . Thor treats the pantry like any old cupboard sometimes , which can be a problem ... sometimes his axe , Guðvinr , ends up living in there too , which causes a panic the next day when Thor forgets where he placed it . and finally , plenty of healthy snacks , like nuts and dried fruit ... but also unhealthy Earth snacks , like a bucketload of gummy candy and , I am ashamed to say it , twinkies .

* ——— @bobgray / are you lost, abra?
she is almost always alone. a willowy frame draped in long sable ringlets, buried ‘neath the worn wool of her sweater. her classmates avoid her as they would black death, excluded from chatter of weekend plans and after - school outings. abra is crouched to the sun - dried asphalt, owlish blink of her eyes study an arbitrary fissure in the sidewalk, near the toe of her sneaker. always the first to arrive but the last to leave, teachers and staff alike have grown accustomed to the lonely figure below the lip of the school’s gymnasium that has nowhere to go ---- frequently, the custodian is the one to ask her when she’ll leave.
wandering spirits flock her, cling to the thin grasp of her wrists and ankles, bemoan to her as some angelic apparition. today especially, they come in throngs, and abra is left drained once they decide to leave her be.
are you lost? abra.
into the emergence of the shadows, someone beckons to her. she comes to a dawdling stop, ghost nor ethos calls out, but abra is coaxed like a moth to a budding light. in that small moment, she is swathed in a sudden chill. beyond the pad - locked gym doors, a formless mass is what draws her breath tight, the lilting timbre resounds just past entryway. soundlessly, the lock unfastens with faint stirring, without much effort from herself, pocketed thereafter as she steps unto the linoleum.
wan lighting distorts the shape even further ; blooming posies have rushed up her throat, her voice is warbled, ❝ who’s there? i . . . can’t see, i need to ---- ❞ find the lights.
