Running, running, running. It feels like that’s all he does, somedays. Running from thugs on the streets, from cops and social workers, from the death of his mother. Jason runs and runs and runs and it doesn’t matter how much his chest burns, how difficult it is to breathe, he just keeps right on running, because if he stops, he might stop breathing altogether.
Currently, he’s running from the man whose wallet he’s stolen. Not the biggest or scariest guy, not some mobster or goon or trafficker, but he’s pissed off and bigger than Jason, stronger than Jason, faster than Jason. Jason’s using every trick he has to get away from him, wallet tucked safely away so he can keep his hands free. If he can just get to the alley two blocks away, there’s a hole in the wall of one building he’ll be able to squeeze through. Jason can barely fit at eleven-years-old—there’s no way this guy will.
He risks a glance over his shoulder to see how far back the man is at exactly the wrong moment. Barrels straight into some girl and lands hard on his ass on the concrete with an ‘oof!’ His chest is heaving, burning, he can’t catch his breath, but he can’t stop, so he scrambles to get up—
Only to get scruffed by the asshole chasing him and hefted up, yelping, feet dangling off the ground. Panic floods through him, because he can’t get away despite how much he’s struggling and no one’s gonna care if one more street kid goes missing. Hell, the girl he ran into will probably be glad, because Jason’s pretty sure he made her spill whatever drink was in her hand, and people in Gotham can be petty like that. “Put me down!”
"Oh really? Well do tell how do you intend to do that here?" Klaus was quite interested in how she was going to do that. The blonde was very interesting to him. Klaus had came against hunters but slayers. Not so much. Maybe that was why he was so keen on her.
plotted & closed starter for @cruelprincae from buffy summers.
† ―――― BUFFY NEVER EXPECTED TO BE TRAVELING WITH A FAERIE. in all honesty, buffy had no idea of their existence to begin with. what else was she going to run into? elves or mermaids next? she tried not to be so callous or demeaning about it, though. she's just been so accustomed to vampires and demons and even werewolves but faeries? that's something she always thought had to be a myth, too far of a reach to actually exist in this world but she was wrong because lo and behold, cardan existed and he was existing to purely be a pain in her damn ass. of course, there was a much bigger picture here than annoying her every chance he got; she was apparently supposed to protect him and aid him in his conquest. this was also something buffy never thought would happen to her. wasn't her sacred duty supposed to be protecting humans from becoming lunchables for the undead? last time she checked, protecting tinkerbell wasn't on her list of tasks for the day.
IT TOOK EVERYTHING IN HER TO FINALLY SUCCUMB TO THIS APPARENT PROPHECY. she would much rather be kicking some vampire ass in the graveyard or kicking back at her place sharpening her stakes and listening to nirvana; anything but this exhausting journey. she bit her tongue, most of the time, while they traveled together but it wasn't in buffy's nature to keep her mouth shut. he seemed to complain constantly; his feet hurt or how he longed for a warm bed. he clearly needed a wake up call. buffy would continue on foot alongside cardan until they reached their final destination for the night. as much as buffy put up a hard exterior and insisted that she never required a rest, she needed it; mostly, she needed cardan to shut up and go to sleep so she could hear herself think. “ we're here ” she announced to him, pointing forward with her stake the building that stood tall in front of them a couple hundred feet away. “ listen, this isn't some hotel where they'll have a hot tub and an all you can eat breakfast bar. this is a spot for demons to lay low, got it ? which means you let me do the talking and no one gets their head chopped off ” she warned him but she didn't have any sort of high hopes.
it would be buffy summers to wish life was more fair when darla knew that could never be. darla knew best that this life could never be exactly what you wanted it to be. it was a cruel, brutal world that only sought out to take away life's pleasures, the small things that made life worth living, but it would never stick, never be permanent. it annoyed her, to see someone else have so much hope, even if it was for her. ❛ if only wishes were horses then beggars would ride, buffy ❜ she replied, rolling her eyes. she wasn't sure she could take much more of this hopeful conversation. she scoffed lightly, ❛ you're a pest, slayer ❜ she stated, crossing her arms over her chest as she stared at buffy. she still wasn't sure why she cared so much about saving her from withering away and dying. she hadn't accepted her fate, she doesn't think she will until she's rotting on her deathbed, and she'll keep fighting until she finds some dumb, naive vampire that will turn her. she's convinced the only way she'll be able to survive is if she's turned to her former self again, but buffy apparently had different ideas. why did she care? why did angel care? why couldn't she just be left alone to take care of this on her own?
she noticed the way her words had seemed to effect her in some way. the way her gaze had fallen as their eyes continued to maintain intense eye contact. what was she feeling? sympathy? for the slayer? she wanted to feel ashamed of herself, she did, because the slayer had always been her worst enemy. she didn't want to feel bad for her but her new soul, one that seemed to be consuming these emotions that were overwhelming and new, caused her to feel things she never thought she was capable of. all this could've been avoided if buffy minded her own business. now she was forced to look at herself in the mirror and wonder why she cared about buffy's feelings. she couldn't help but shrugged in a sassy manner and smirk at buffy's words, ❛ finally, you're catching on. maybe i won't have to hold back any more ❜ she quipped back. she thought about buffy's suggestion for a cab, and she decided completely against it. close quarters? awkward silence? there's only so much human darla could handle. she begins to walk in the direction buffy had come from, ❛ i think i'll take my chances on the street ❜ she told her, waiting for buffy to begin venturing next to her, her arms still crossed over her chest. she was slightly cold, but she wasn't going to admit that. ❛ so, why are you here in the city of hell? is it because of angelus? ❜ she asked, curious. she knew they weren't together any longer. if they were, she was sure angel wouldn't be so invested in saving her from death. she looks around, avoiding eye contact with buffy.
Slay, slay, slay, that’s all Buffy seemed to do these days. Life of ‘the slayer’, am I right? Her slayer duties were making it hard to keep of with a personal life, school life, and being a slayer. The busty blonde played with the silver cross that normally lay resting in her cleavage; hidden from sight, so no vampire that was hiding amongst the living wouldn’t notice it. Buffy hadn’t even noticed she was playing with it, she was in her own deep thought. Some days, like today, she missed being a ‘normal girl’. The slayer slide down the cold gray wall.
She missed having lovers and not being afraid of them being a vampire or getting killed. A flash of Angel and everything they’d been through flashed in her mind. Only moments earlier she’d fought a group of vampires, they were small fries really. Buff had fought so much stronger, she was just drained and worn out. She’d give herself five minutes to wallow in her self-pity then it was back to business.
IT WAS RUMORS AND SPECULATION AS FAR AS SHE WAS CONCERNED. but with sunnydale gone, she was bound to move on right? there were slayers everywhere but she couldn't help this one, she couldn't ignore this one. she had been there in what she believed to be spike's final moments. she'd seen his change. she knew all of angel's accomplishments ... hard not to pay attention to him after all. as she approached the vampire in question, the one that would always have some part of her she felt her heart twist in layers of complexity. "hey there stranger."
@talesfromthevoiid ♥ for a starter from buffy summers for angel
❝ face? what face? ❞ confused, buffy reached up to her face, touching it as if that somehow could give her a clue about what he meant. of course she wasn't aware of any faces that she was making. she let out a nervous laugh, lowering her hands as she looked up at him. ❝ oh, you mean... right, i was... ❞ oh, crap. there was no denying it at this point, was there? and then there was the fact they had just kicked the crap out of a bunch of vampires... she and sam had decimated an entire nest, just the two of them. the adrenaline was still pumping in her system. she was the slayer, so this was her life since she was sixteen years old. but sam was just human, so it was extra impressive, everything he could do. ❝ well, fighting makes me horny, what can i say? it was just a little... flirting, sam. don't think about it too hard, ❞ she gave his chest a playful little pat, walking towards one of the bodies to retrieve her weapon from its head.
"Two Sides of the Same Coin"- Two things that are regarded as part of the same thing. Even if they're very different, they have at least one common thread that helps them fit into this trope.

Buffy Summers and Faith Lehane:
"One of the duos of all time. Intended as foils within the media, and then elaborated MUCH more in the fandom. People love talking about how much they reflect each other. How similar but how different they are. Gay"

taking inspiration from kasey with the pinboards. Here is my plotting/ starter call for the mini event. If you want a starter please be very specific about muses. Also if you like this for plotting i'll hop into your DMs. I'll be dropping most older threads pre event but keeping new ones going or plot heavy and important ones. But yeah that's it from me here goes:
Alastor - Going Solo
Alastor is chaos so he is likely going to be wandering around, watching and learning. Causing some chaos. Maybe talk to a few people, get a few secrets from people. He might offer up a song or two.
Possible plots: People wanting to cause chaos with him, someone who spills their heart out to him, roaming around the museum together, judging people together.
(2/3) - Shu Hualing, Clara
Angel - Going with Buffy Summers

Possible plots: people watching from the sidelines as well, wandering the museum together
(1/3) - Buffy
Billy Loomis - Going with Jill Roberts

(3/3) - Rose, Feng Yu , Ororo
Charlie Weasley - Going with Lydia Martin

Possible plots: exploring, having a dance, drinking buddies.
(1/3) - Dora
Charlotte Emily - Going with Max Lightwood
Charlotte never really got to experience these things and the random date thing with Max as well makes her nervous. Her aim will to be have fun but not to get overwhelmed and keep the puppet at bay.

(2/3) - Cassidy, Mike

(2/3) - Jacen, Jyn

(0/3)
Zash Baen - Going with Megara

possible plots: drinking a decent amount, trying to engage him or gossip with him, exploring the museum, finding him sat away from everyone.
(1/3) - Alani
"Dude, River. Calm down it will be okay. Sure, she might not know who I am but I can make it work somewhere. Might be a small shock. But we agreed. I've got this no worries." Liam hung up the phone, getting out of his car. He headed over to Buffy's door, raising his hand. He knocked on it and waited for her to answer. "Here we go." He mumbled to himself. Honestly he was hoping that she would actually believe him if he decided to tell her who he actually was. Giles had tracked down River and himself, surprised to find two male slayers. So they made that decision that Liam would go and see Buffy, while River went to track down Angel.
EVERY NIGHT WAS JUST LIKE ANY OTHER NIGHT FOR THE VAMPIRE SLAYER. patrolling the wicked streets of sunnydale and the foggy graveyards that haunted the town. she always expected something from around any corner but sometimes a little surprise is thrown her way once in awhile. like, turning a corner and almost staking, what appeared as, an innocent human. buffy was quick to hide her weapon behind her back when she flashed it at @livfstdienvr out of pure habit. her eyes were wide with surprise, “ sorry. pepper spray ” she lied, smiling innocently at the stranger but then immediately changes stance in that of a suspicious one. she looked at the other up and down briefly, “ well, i know what i'm doing poking the headstones at night. what's your story ? ” she asked, leaving out some details of exactly why she was. he didn't seem or give off an aura that screamed man with fangs but, buffy has seen a thing or two... knowing anything could wear a human face in disguise of what they truly were.

clove kentwell going with cato hadley
not her ideal scenario but she decided to just go and going with cato was a plus so at least she wasn't alone here, at least that was something. she's going to try and relax a bit here but who knows, since this is not her type of scenario she just feels a bit out of place at times.
thread (0/4):
daenerys targaryen going with nehemia ygter
this is a very nice place to be in. she must to admit that she's a bit excited to be here with nehemia, it's not her first time in an event like this one but still she's not used to events in this place so she will just try to enjoy the night and forget about everything with her date.
thread (1/4): - nehemia

prompt: ❝ people need someone to see them for what they are and not just see it but accept it. i want to be that person for anyone i can…but it can be so suffocating to be that person and also remain unseen. ❞
if there was one thing buffy considered herself an expert on, it was being invisible. sure, the people in her life made her feel seen — but they only knew the parts of herself that she was willing to share with them. there was still so much that she had kept hidden for what felt like years on end. a gentle sigh fell from her lips as she shot erin a look of sympathy, the slayer’s features softening. “it’s exhausting whenever your energy isn’t matched in regards to anything, let alone something like that.” she wet her lips before there was a moment of pause on her end. she proceeded to reach out and take erin’s hand into her own, lacing their fingers together. “i could be that person for you if you wanted me to. i see you.”
