incorrect quotes starters // open // Ruby Summers

"Plants are basically the ideal friends. They are quiet, friendly, and easy to please. All they need is a little water and fresh earth, and they are perfectly happy to lie there all day in the sun. And they don’t make increasingly awful life choices, or hide their relationships. They have never, as far as I know, fucked a bee."

"I don't know." Whether she was dead or alive, the only person who knew the truth was TJ's father. If the psychic could break down the walls and enter his father's mind somehow, then he'd see everything that TJ was missing; how that man knew it all because he had killed her himself. He sacrificed his love for her because the fox she had become had been too much. It was in his love that he saved her by ending it. It angered the man that the part he had left of her was TJ. The resentment was heavy and would always remain.

"Maybe she is, maybe she's not," TJ answered, uncertain. That was all he knew. Maybe that's where it stemmed from, the whole 'oea but not oea.' These wounds shaped his world—a world without clarity.

"I don't ask him." The refusal was more on the side of TJ; he'd rather ask the mysterious fox that his mom promised than face his father. If he ever tried to ask his father anything, he'd just ignore him. It was only when TJ rebelled that he got his attention, but it was unwanted attention, not the loving type. "Recently, someone showed up, claiming that they were a brother, but I don't have any brothers...and he, my father, wouldn't do that. He wouldn't betray my mom like that."

As much as TJ unloaded the baggage for the psychic, he only came here with an interest in finding the fox. "Or you could just give me a name." TJ didn't know how this whole thing worked, though—could the wizard really just pull a random name out of a hat, and would that name lead him to a fox? He reached out his arms for the psychic to do his thing. "Let's hope we don't summon any hungry ghosts."

The other piqued some sort of interest and Rue let go of his jacket and lit up a cigarette, offering him a chair to sit on. "Herbal tea?" another offer followed as he set the kettle to a boil yet again, and let the coolness of the room ground him before he goes digging through the head of a fox. Admittedly, the other seemed in a very 'revealing' mood himself, so this shouldn't be as much of a challenge as he had feared.

"So your mother has passed -- sorry, for your loss." he's trying to recollect the facts before he dives in. "Before she did, she promised you would find a fox that will guide you? At the same time..." he goes through the motions of making the tea, smoking, and overall thinking and finds himself glancing over at the other every now and again. "Your father refuses to speak of your mother? And I sense your relationship with the man is strained at best?" parental relationships were sure complicated in this town, but it made it less surprising on each turn to find an asshole father meddling or refusing to provide even a smidge of compassion.

"Foxes in folklore are...different. Much like psychics, vampires, witches, wolves...it's hard to paint a whole species with the same brush but -- some....similar rules usually apply. Vampires and the sun, wolves and the moon...dragons and their fire it -- it takes some exploring to get to the bottom of it but -- I'm willing to try." he finally sits across from the other and rubs his palms together, offering them out. "Your hands?"

“Hey!” Ruby called through the townhouse for the boys. “Have you guys seen the olive oil?” Ruby climbed up on the counter to try and see if it was on the top shelf or something. “Guys!” they said again when they didn’t get an answer. “If you want the Hayes special tonight, you’ll help me find the olive oil.”

“The study guide was virtually useless. The professor just slapped a bunch of key terms and unlabelled functions. There is nothing graphic or insightful about the practical application of a nonexistent limit for the derivative,” Marcello complained, pointing the tip of his colored pen against the completed study guide. He briefly glanced at Ruby’s work. “The quiz shouldn’t be too difficult, anyway,” he hypothesized.

artemis blinked before giving a shrug and messing with the mixture of paint and oil under her nails. "oh, uh, well mechanics and art I guess. that's really most of what i do. not much else. still kinda new here and don't know anyone so i just keep to myself."

❝ really?❞ ruby asked, a perfectly shaped brow lifted in surprise. ❝ well, if not interested in parties, then what? ❞ curiosity did get the better of the demon, she knew the saying different strokes for different folks, but still.

There was a lot more technicalities to her film studies than she’d initially realized when applying for the program. Along civilizations names and dates and art styles, Elli overlooked how complex some of the analytical lenses could get. Thus, she planned to supplement her lectures with film theory from the library. All of those plans went out the window when she spotted Ruby checking out at one of the kiosks. In a split decision, she decided to intercept the girl headed toward the exit, all smiles and smugness as she approached. “Good afternoon,” she cheered, like bothering Ruby was an accomplishment of hers. “What do you have there?” Elli inquired of the books in her hand, quick to divert conversation away from what she was doing in approaching Ruby.

Caleb was walking down the street when he spotted Ruby with Hope. “Hey.” he called out, getting her attention as he caught up to her. He smiled at Hope, giving her a small wave as he looked over at his cousin. “How have you been?” He asked, knowing that considering how she looked the last time he saw her, he probably should have checked up on her before this.

“Shh-shh, quiet Sophie please,” Ruby mumbled as she bounced the little infant in her arms. She was exhausted with dark circles under her eyes and a pale completion far waxier than that of a vampire. She hadn’t slept in a while... so long. She was exhausted. “Either move the fuck on or offer some advice but stop gawking,” Ruby’s tone shifted to a harsh one when she saw somebody looking at her. Moms were judgy, and she didn’t ask for this.

[nickxadler]

@ruby-follett

Nick hadn’t turned many vampires in his life, and when he did he rarely kept in contact with them. Ruby had been rather like the others, even though he’d not exactly minded the company of the younger woman. She’d been an interesting one from the moment he’d met her, and he’d chuckled at how eagerly she had accepted not only what he was, but the offer of becoming a creature like him with no hesitation whatsoever. He hadn’t heard from her in a while, yet he had no concerns over her, she was perfectly capable of taking care of herself and he had his own problems to deal with, to the point of not wanting to deal with her. So, it took him by surprise when he spotted her across the room at Nina’s, weaving through the crowds and getting closer as he confirmed it was her. “Well, aren’t you a sight for sore eyes?”

Ruby was on the roof of the town house, laying and staring at the stars. They often did this to decompress most nights. When they heard a noise on the fire escape, they looked over to find Drew climbing up. “Hey, did you just get home?” they asked him.

[isaacbehindbars]

Isaac had had immense amounts of fun during the attack and now, he’d never been more bored in his life. As soon as he’d finished torturing his victim, he had been rounded up and forced back into the hotel along with the rest of the death eaters and now here he was doing absolutely nothing. With a roll of his eyes and a deep breath, the young wizard pushed himself from his seat and moved through the hotel in hope of finding one person in particular, Ruby Simmons. The young brunette had never failed in making Isaac’s time as a prisoner more interesting. As he rounded the corner to her room, a smile covered his face as he found her sat inside. Leaning against the door frame, he tapped his knuckles against the wooden frame. “Hey princess.” Isaac greeted her with a smirk.

Gossip was a natural part of any social ecosystem, though Elli had forgotten how shitty it could feel being on the receiving end of it. During her time at Luxor, she'd mostly kept her head down and her nose buried in her textbooks. Still, the incident at the New Year's Eve celebration persisted in her mind. It wasn't Elli's concern, not really anyway, but the look of Ruby's face when she'd saw how upset Elli'd gotten stayed glued in her mind. "Oh, um...." Elli smiled tightly, clenching the straps of her backpack tighter. "Yeah, that was kinda the point, Ruby. Hope you don't mind but I thought we'd have a girls' day," she offered with a raise of her shoulders. She didn't need to know if what they said about Ruby had any shred of truth to it, she wanted to be the one to protect her from it anyway.

It felt like ever since the stupid New Years party, whispers had followed Ruby everywhere she went. She wasn’t used to being the subject of rumours or exposes. If anything, she’d done her best to avoid her name ever being in anyone’s mouth for the majority of her academic career, and it was an unfamiliar and very much unwanted feeling to see people look at her and awkwardly turn away. Even more so when the looks were so obviously hostile. She’d hidden out in her room at first, of course, but she knew if she gave in and allowed her grades to slip, she’d only be proving everyone right. What she needed right now was to prove herself, more than ever before, more than she’d already been doing. Overwork wasn’t a word that applied to her at this moment in time. It was like she was playing catch up all over again. Maybe she always would be.

But it was incredibly difficult to play catch up when you couldn’t actually access your own books. And as much as she really wanted to never speak to anyone again, there was an obvious solution, so Ruby sighed slowly before crossing her arms to address the student, avoiding eye contact. “You’re standing in front of my locker,” she muttered quietly. “Could I … get in, please?”

"Well those are some cute pajamas you're wearing." said Apollo snickering at how they couldn't keep them selves up past her hips. ( @ Ruby)

“Are you just gonna stand there and gawk at me?” she asked. “It’s not gentleman like to stare at a lady like that”

She huffed a bit but not in a way that indicated any real anger.
