@eunbixmp continued from here:

Eunbi looked up from her coffee, expression unreadable as she examined him. “What’s there to talk about?” She finally asked, her voice betraying just how exhausted she felt. She heaved a sigh that sent a sharp pain through her ribs, leaning back in her chair. “Are you going to lecture me? I panicked. If I had been thinking clearly, I wouldn’t have gotten Jinseok involved,” she explained slowly. She was running on absolutely no sleep, even less than usual, so she was hardly in the mood for some protective grandad bullshit.

She felt another stab go through her chest, but this time it was different. Jealousy. She had nearly died, had been attacked -nearly brutalized and killed in her own home- but there was no one to care about that. After all, she had called Jinseok because he was literally all she had. It didn’t seem fair, even though she was well aware that nothing was ever fair.

“Are you okay, Eunbi? You must have been through a lot,” she said, lowering her voice as if that made her sound any more like Osiris. “Oh, yeah, I’m great, thanks for asking. Gotta get my fucking floor professionally cleaned before I can even think of stepping foot in my apartment again, but I’m fan-fucking-tastic.”

it is more than a little obvious that the concern he meant to express with his question about what had happened the night before has gone right over eunbi’s head, especially when she asks him if he’s about to give her a lecture. he raises his eyebrows lightly at her clearly defensive words, talking like he minds that she called jinseok rather than that he thinks she should have called a lot sooner. or called  him. or called all of them. he’d bring the entire egyptian squad to save his unofficial granddaughter for sure.

before he can comment on that once his surprise lessened a bit, she already speaks up again, seemingly indicating she’s speaking in his stead, and though he’s still a little flabbergasted with how little she thinks he cares about her wellbeing, he can’t help but breathe out a little smile at her words. leaning in, he puts a hand on hers, fingers curling around it without a care in the world for what she might not be comfortable with, not at this very moment.

“sweet child,” he says warmly, though the amusement still dances in his eyes as well. he’s not in the slightest amused by what happened to her, but rather by the fact that she feels slighted when he was trying to see if she felt up for having him be concerned for her or if she preferred to just toughen it out and not be coddled. “that is exactly what i meant. do you need help? you know i’m here for you, right? i’ve seen your ghosts, you’ve threatened to kill me twice; we’re family now. let me call airmid for you, she’s a healing goddess, you shouldn’t have to suffer these injuries. i’ll also get someone to clean your apartment. do you have a key for me or is it a digital lock with a code?”

Catch up | Aura & Eunbi

Starter for @eunbixmp

It had been much too long since she’d seen Eunbi and, truth be told, Aura felt a little guilty that she hadn’t visited her friend over Christmas. With Bao Bao waddling beside her and a grocery bag full of snacks, as well as a gift bag in her other hand, she headed over to surprise her friend. Aura knocked on the door, checking to make sure that she had Eunbi’s present as she waited.

“Are you excited to see Eunbi?” she asked Bao Bao, the little dog looking up to her happily. His tail wagged, already looking forward to the snuggles.

Jackson was confused. It wasn’t the first time that the female had approached him so harshly with her words. All he said was if she needed any help with what she was doing and the quick glare that followed right after the offer passed his lips. 

“Why are your panties always in a bunch around me? What did I even say so wrong?” He quipped, brows furrowing. Jackson wasn’t used to such treatment and he didn’t see anything as to why the female would act so coldly around him.

“You could just say no. Is that too hard for you?” He knew he should just keep his mouth shut because if looks could kill, he would have already dropped dead with how the woman was still glaring towards his direction.

[mp-zhiwei]

“ i may seem like an angry person on the surface, but deep down inside, i am actually angrier. ”

“I don’t think that’s very healthy to have so much anger inside of you. Do you enjoy being angry?” he asks oddly interesting in the young demigoddess. Sure he’s had his run into angry people, and crooks.

Suddenly he’s reminded of a lot of the trouble he’s found thanks to Xiaolang. He’s not someone that goes looking for a fight but when he’s suddenly cornered into one, he didn’t plan on losing. 

“Have you...ever thought of taking up a martial arts class?” 

[heatherxmp]

“ what circle of dante’s inferno did you crawl out of? ”

🌊

   Without the slightest of hesitation or qualms Heather answers, “Limbo.”

  There’s a certain joy he cannot express in words having said that, but it plays on the pink of his lips as they curve into a sin ridden smile. In his line of work being a teacher, and back home in San Francisco he had grown more than used to curt words and turned them into private joys for the mere shock value of it.   “But it’s a little warm this time of the year for me, so I thought I would just enjoy some it here instead. Which depravity takes your fancy though? Since we’re sharing secrets today and all.”

[mp-dionshun]

“something told me to bring this in case we ran into trouble.”

“Wait! Stop!” he begged confused about what was going on around him. Going on one of his walks he had yet to really get himself into a dangerous spot but he seems to have overheard something he shouldn’t have. 

Some people were mean, but others were just downright wicked. 

He wasn’t sure if he could say he’s gotten off lucky to be left unscathed but whoever it was decided to take his cane away leaving him without his extra sense. Slowly starting to panic Shun kneels down feeling the ground wondering if maybe they just kicked it away from him, but what he didn't know was they broke it into pieces scattering them.  The longer he looks the more troubled he feels until he hears a girl say something to him. 

“D-Do I know you..?” he asks turning towards the sound of the voice keeping his hands to himself.

random muse encounters:  🤖 hiding something behind their back REVERSED 

“-what in the heavens!” Wukong mutters under his breath as he skids to a stop on his knees beside the collapsed man, fingers quickly reaching out to press two fingertips to his pulse point as the other takes his wrist. His eyes quickly scan over his blueish complexion, one hand shifting to lift his eyelid and his frown only deepens seeing the bloodshot whites of his eyes, all the tell-tale signs of a nasty heart attack. Sliding his fingers down to his tie he starts to loosen it, and the button of his collar, as his eyes dart to pretty, girlish shoes stood just a few inches away, and a cold chill tumbles own his spine. It is only a moment, and he quickly dismisses it. 

“Have you called for an ambulance?” He asks, remaining calm but i the faint, near-nondetachable heartbeat fluttering under his fingers was anything to go by, the man didn’t have long. Lifting his eyes he looks up at the young women, hands clutched behind her back, and his frown deepens. “I’m a doctor, don’t worry-” he tries to calm her, assuming they must know each other, as her lack of action could only be the result of panic, surely. 

[dionysusxmp]

am i keeping you from something?

Did humans always have this propensity for awkward encounters and situations?

Dionysus was pretty sure they did, but it’d been...well, thousands of years over the last thousands of years. Yet humans never seemed to change all that much. People were still people. Awkward run-ins in the coffee shop doorway were simply bound to happen.

“Just, ahh, the...well, the cafe. I would like to get some coffee, but luckily I’m not one of those people who can’t function without it. I mean, I’m not really a people at all, but there you are.” He was pretty sure that his run-in with the strange man in his bar the day before had broken his brain somewhat since he seemed to be having nothing but awkward encounters today, but at least some coffee might make him feel better about it.

But for that this girl would have to either move out of his way or pass by him and leave the cafe so that Dio could enter it.

“Expectation is the root of all heartache.”

shakespeare inspired starters ,, not accepting

sveinn’s gaze goes over to the unfamiliar girl when the words spill from her lips and he raises an eyebrow at the rather random statement.

“if you say so,” he allows, though he isn’t quite interested at all and it probably shows in the way his gaze wanders away from her again only a moment after speaking.

he returns his attention to the magazine he’s reading, wondering for abou half a second longer why on earth she suddenly spoke those words aloud to him, before the entire thing leaves his mind again and he focuses all of his attention on the interview he’s reading.

❛ what , you’re going to kill me? ❜

⚠️

    There’s a shake of his head at her question. “Why would I kill you?”

  Ruyi seems thoughtful as he stares at but doesn’t see the massive globe near his desk. “You’re my best work.”

[ seventh circle ]

@eunbixmp continued from here:

“The seventh. You know, violence,” Eunbi replied easily, looking up at him with disinterest as she placed his coffee in front of him. She had, admittedly, been trying a little harder than normal to appear to be a good person; no doubt in large part due to Jinseok and the ever-looming threat of having to meet his family and friends and lord knew who else. It had been a very long time since she had cared what anybody thought of her, but she did care what the people close to her... boyfriend? thought of her. She actually cared quite a bit about that.

But not today. Not at 8am. She had been up all night tossing and turning, and she was not in the mood for some gross man to tell her off because she didn’t grin like an idiot and tell him to have a super day or whatever it was he thought he was entitled to. “If you want service with a smile, come in after 10am. Or after my shift ends at 2, if you want a guarantee.”

she flips her reply back quite easily and he can’t help smiling brightly when she looks up at him, eyes taking in her demeanour, the look she’s giving him as well as the general tilt to her shoulders. this is a girl who doesn’t take shit from anyone, but she’s not as rude as others like her might have been in this situation. still, her gaze is berating enough and her next words have him laugh lightly.

“violence, huh?” he says instead of replying to her later words. “that would explain the evil spirits following you around.” he makes a little hand motion at the selection of outright horrors floating about her, seemingly waiting for their next fix of whatever horrendous actions she gets herself into on the regular. not that he cares about those things, but it’s not every day he sees the amount of evil that currently still hovers about her person. it really only ever happens with...

he picks up the cup of coffee she brought him, lifting it lightly and sending her a questioning gaze. “it’s not poisoned, is it?”

Unnecessary Rescue | Nathaniel & Eunbi

@eunbixmp:

“Don’t fucking touch me,” Eunbi demanded when Nate reached out a hand toward her, her voice thick as she dragged the back of her hand across her face to wipe away the stupid tears. They were not real, and it still infuriated her to even feign weakness; especially in front of an idiot like Nate. She sniffed, leaning against the wall and smoothing out her dress. She had been about to put down the idiot who had thought it wise to try to mug her, but of course Nate had shown up at that very moment. She was not upset that she had lost the victim –he was not her usual type, anyway– but she was upset that she had to pretend like the event had shaken her.

Well, it had shaken her, but certainly not enough to make her cry in front of someone. She hated nothing more than crying in front of other people. And yet it seemed to be happening a lot lately.

“Look, thanks for the help, but I’m fine. I’m just going to go home.” She was half hoping that the mugger, who had in a very sexist fashion run off as soon as a man showed up, would show his face again if Nate left. At this point, she wanted him dead for hurting her pride.

He was a gentleman and, when he saw a woman in trouble, he would have been sure to step in - even if he couldn’t tell that Eunbi didn’t actually need his help. “Hey, hey, it’s okay,” he spoke in a hushed tone, placing a hand to gently pat her shoulder, “You can cry all you want - he must have given you a fright.” In his mind, he was doing exactly any decent man would have - irregardless of who the almost-victim was and even moreso when it was a pretty girl.

Standing up straight, he pulled his coat off and wrapped it around her shoulders in hope that the warmth by comfort her frightened form. “Then let me take you home, Eunbi,” he insisted, “So I can know that you are safe at least.” Nathaniel gave a gentle smile, one that made it clear he had no ulterior motive. Sure, he spent a lot of time flirting with Eunbi but there would never be the thought of take advantage of her,

“Or if you want, we can go to my place for a while,” he offered, thought held out his hands in an innocent gesture, “Not for anything, of course. My puppy is at home and many girls have told me that she is much better at snuggles than I am.”

[mpxnuwa]

“Can you believe this guy? I guess you hate apple pie too, huh, fella? And puppies. And your own mama”

Nuwa laughed softly and shook her head. When she’d offered to go on a walk with Eunbi and treat her to some food, she hadn’t imagined this level of... social commentary. But it proved to be quite entertaining, especially since, well Eunbi was right. The stranger they’d just bumped into in the park was quite rude and negative.

“Darling, let us move along. Someone like this is not worth our attention.” And with that, Nuwa gently took Eunbi by the arm and kept walking. “You were right, though,” she said once the man was out of earshot. “I am only glad I do not know that man.”

Not Special ft. Eunbi

Continued from here with @eunbixmp

♮

   The second that Eunbi starts to go off on Invidia is when the smile seems to melt right off Hunter’s face. It’s replaced with a slow burning look of concern as his eyes look from Eunbi and then to Invidia and back once again. He looks downright worried in that moment and it’s justly so because for as kind and sweet as Hunter is with his reactions to poor tempers, Invidia is the entire opposite.   “Don’t insult the intelligence of others when you don’t make a point to know them,” he snaps right back at her. “It’s ugly.” It’s. The action, not the speaker.   Hunter starts to make some sort of protest about how it’s not worth the time but Invidia is not for it. “She is not any more special than anyone else who would be a jerk right now. If I can shut it down to someone else then she can handle it too. After all-- she is not fragile.”   The words are tossed right back to her and though he’s snapped his volume is admittedly not as loud as before. So while he is angry, there is still a respect, though thinner than a spider’s web at the moment. He doesn’t storm off nor he does he escalate the issue, just snaps and then looks at her. “I do apologize for bumping into you.” He had meant all of it, but especially that part.

🚫 hands off! 🚫 ||  with eunbi

ive got my eye on u, @eunbixmp!

To say that Yako had found Eunbi’s workplace by stalking the other girl through the city would have been a gross exaggeration of reality. It also would have been technically accurate. Every time Yako had passed Eunbi, often in her way in or out of the hospital, the other had seemed to just vanish after getting a good distance away. Did Eunbi have some sort of teleportation powers or was she just really good at skulking away? Whatever it was, Yako hadn’t cared enough to find out.

Right up until Ruyi had casually mentioned Eunbi in a conversation. At that point, Eunbi took up the role of Biggest Threat in Yako’s mind. And Yako couldn’t have that. If she was going to have a rival, she at least wanted to know a little more about her. There was no way this Eunbi girl was even close to as good as Yako. Didn’t matter at what, but she just couldn’t be better. So Yako followed Eunbi to the Flower Mill where the other appeared to work as a barista.

Really? A barista? There was no way on earth Ruyi would be interested in someone that...common.

There had to be something else.

So Yako ordered drink after drink, slowly working her way through about half the menu before it was finally time for Eunbi to close up the cafe. After waiting for so long, Yako waited just a little longer until the other patrons had left before taking a stand in what should have now been a closed and mostly empty coffee shop.

“What’s your problem exactly? Who the hell are you?”

@eunbixmp

Chaewon mindlessly scrolled through the many contacts from Mount Phoenix she’d saved on her phone. Now that she was back on the island, it was time to reconnect with everybody!

Her thumb stopped next to the name of that one kinda rude girl from the Halloween ball. Chaewon had had to use all of her charm in order to get her number, but here it was~

Quietly giggling to herself, Chaewon texted Eunbi a single word:
