❜A walk sounds lovely. Especially if there’s flowers to be seen. But are you alright? I mean—I know the answer is probably no based on the state of the room—❜
Belle didn’t like to stay seated too long, not unless she was reading or something in that vein. But she just wanted to help this woman—clearly her papa trusted her and wanted her to help in some way.

⚔️ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ─────────── elizabeth often found herself in the library when it came to research. she had sought out to find herself and her calling. life on the ocean was what elizabeth had always dreamed of. adventure in the vast unknown. of course with two very small children it was hard to leave them ashore. while she waited until caspian and athena were a bit older that didn’t stop the woman from pinpointing her future endeavors. she was heading towards the history section when she spotted a peculiar and quite intriguing book in the hands of someone else. “ where did you get that ? ” she asked, all too bluntly.

Closed starter for @lovclychaos
“If Deputy Marshall isn’t available, then I need to speak to any other deputy that’s working on the James case!” Kayla snapped as she stood at the front counter of the Sheriff’s Department, impatient and angry. She was never like this usually, but she was overwhelmed. Not only was her beta dead, but the missing people had lead to her taking in a foster child, who would be arriving later that day - she didn’t have the time to be wasting on deputies who weren’t in the know.
Spotting Deputy Emera, she ignored the man at the front desk and walked over to her. “Please. I need to be taken to see Felicity James’ body. Your other deputies won’t listen to me.” She didn’t want to cause any problems, but she needed to know what happened to her.

“Oh God, I sound crazy.” ( page / anyone! )
@rubiesintherough sent olivia rodrigo : sour album … sentence starters
The air was tense. Belle's silence was heavy and prolonged, so it was hardly surprising that Page would think Belle didn't believe her, but that wasn't the case at all. After all, Belle could read minds, so it wasn't too much of a stretch that someone would be able to speak to the dead. No, the problem wasn't one of belief, it was one of Belle simply being able to process the fact.
After taking a minute or two to find her voice, she shook her head emphatically, her dark hair falling into her eyes. "N- no, it's not that. I mean, you don't sound crazy at all, I just- I-" Her green eyes were eerily wide in her pale face, trembling hands grasping the other's wrists in a desperate and yet uncharacteristic gesture.
"C- could you speak to Dean? My old boyfriend? And- and let him know I'm okay, and Alfie is okay?" She was almost in tears, her voice trembling so desperately it threatened to crack. "Please?"

"Are you threatening me?" (for the enslaved Rumple verse? :3 )
"What do you think?" he retorted instantly. Because yes, of course he was threatening Lady Belle, and it wasn't the first time he'd done so either. Eventually, he knew, she'd punish him for it. He just had to find where her tipping point was. "Unless you particularly enjoy being burned alive, I'd say it's a threat."

Back on my Asmodeus and Ludinus are narrative parallels bullshit again. I've just been trying to put into words why, despite their massive similarities, I feel so differently about them. Like, Asmodeus is an objectively worse person than Ludinus Da'leth but I love him while Ludi's mere presence has me contemplating homicide.
Honestly, I think the biggest differentiator here is that Asmodeus is FUN. Like, he's being horrible but at least on some level he's having fun while doing so. It's the Disney villain effect! He's bad but he's also charismatic and funny (he's got jokes!) and has plots and schemes and is committed to the bit!
And he's tragic too! He's such a messy bitch and whenever he enters the room you know shit's about to get dramatic. Despite all his talk, you can see the longing he has for his siblings. He loves them so much! He loves them but his love burns and he refuses to accept his part in the breakdown of their relationship. It's so juicy!!! There's so much here!!!
Ludinus just doesn't have this! He's not fun, he's preachy. He's got reddit atheist vibes, fucking twitter accelerationist yapping in your replies about how fascism is a good thing, actually. He's so sweaty! Just a huge fucking nerd. JD Vance levels of negative rizz.
And its just like, yeah I guess Ludinus is tragic. On an objective level, I suppose. But its not entertaining, its just kinda pathetic. And I think part of that is because the man is so isolated he doesn't really have any relationships to give him tragic depth? There's Lilliana, and his weird projection with Imogen, and that's kind of it. Which, this loneliness could be something! It could be interesting! But it falls flat on the sympathy side for me because its entirely self-inflicted and just kinda gives off "male loneliness" vibes.
Like, other people survived Calamity. They're all dead now, but he also should be dead now so that’s a moot point. His foremost developmental years were spent with people who shared his experiences and understood his pain, and he *still* couldn't form connections and move on. At that point, his lack of relationships is just a skill issue.
Both of them ruin the party when they walk in, but with Asmodeus shit gets messy while with Ludinus it just gets annoying. Asmodeus I want to beat up and make him cry then hug him. Ludinus I just want to beat up, period.

❜Oh, I didn’t mean to bother you. If I had known you were busy I would have waited. ❜
The brunette wiped her hands on her dress, she was here to meet with someone. The purpose of the meeting was unclear but she knew that if she didn’t go her papa would be disappointed. She began to take a step towards the door, waiting to see if they were finished first.

❛ you’re gonna come for me later ? ❜ - For Belle
@apphrodite sent * ― 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐃𝐈𝐑𝐓𝐘 𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐃 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐆.
"Well..."
There's a pause, a moment in which Belle pauses to pretend to consider. An exaggerated thinking face crosses her features for a moment, delicate hands reaching for her drink, a sip being taken just to add a bit of suspense, then:
"That depends how good you are, doesn't it, babe?"
