"So, I didn't die the next day or get sick after drinking your jungle juice, so that should count for something," he says, tone playful. Though he did have the worst hangover the next day, but that's because he lost count of the number of drinks he had in his system. "But also... maybe don't make it a regular at parties." He scrunches his nose, because they both knew that thing was disgusting. "How was your night?"

"Barbie in the what?" Did he hear centipede? Honestly, he's only met the other five minutes ago, but Drew can already tell they like to talk just for the sake of it, which is fine by them, who's he to tell anyone not to do so? Except, so much of it is, unfortunately, unimportant, so he's zoning out a little, catching words here and there to have enough clues on what they're talking about—as weird as it all is. "I recently bought the yacht club and I'm renovating it. I used to vacation here growing up, so the town's not really strange to me. Are you born and raised here?"

Their eyes narrow at Drew - doesn't like being laughed at, even if it's a cheeky little giggle; irritates her, because June's never taken seriously, even though they're serious a good fifty percent of the time. "I don't - don't even got a fucking, TV, man. I didn't see a movie until I was fifteen and it was a fucking Barbie in the Human Centipede remaster somebody put into the Redbox as a joke." She snorts at the way he evades the question, wiping melted ice cream off onto her shorts. "So its both? That's sad - now I feel a little bad. Kicking a bald man while he's down and hairless - but fine, alright. Why did you come to Murder Town, USA? Do you get a little sadistic kick out of being here?"

LOCATION: Down the street from Eden's house CLOSED for @mystycfics (Juni)

Eden had been spending a lot of time in her garden, tending to her flowers and vegetable plants, just being in her happy place. It was what she needed, and the day was nice so there was nowhere better to be. Having cleared out the last of the weeds that had invaded her favourite flowerbed, she'd stood up and started walking around just to stretch her legs after being crouched down for so long.

Looking down the street, she thought she could see a familiar person in the distance. At first, she thought her eyes were playing tricks on her, but the longer she looked, she realised they weren't. Walking down the sidewalk, her pace quickened as she got closer to the person. "Juni?!" She called out, hoping it was really her. As she finally caught up with her, unable to contain her excitement, Eden pulled her into a hug. "I've missed you so much!"

koji's eyes remain locked on the woman, glimmering with both mischief and amusement at her audacious response — not that he necessarily expected a bashful reaction from her anyway. "i don't," he confirms, leaning onto his side to get a better look at her. "it looks better on you, anyway."

generally speaking, best practices for giant fucking liars included not adding too many details to your story. over-explaining was a telltale sign of deception, and giving someone extraneous pieces of information would only create more trouble down the line. you are, after all, responsible for remembering those pieces of information. but when gen turns around to face her, much closer than emilia had ever experienced, emilia feels like she needs to word-vomit like she's never word-vomitted before. but she's been lying for years now, and knows how to handle herself when she feels cornered. was gen cornering her, or was she just paranoid, per usual?

"an attorney, yeah. corporate law. he is a hardass, though i don't think he sees it that way." she chuckles, but it leaves a bitter taste in her mouth. her father was one of the most selfless, compassionate people she'd ever known. to speak of him like this, to lie about who he is, put a hole through em's chest like a cannonball. she takes a step back from gen, desperate to escape the other girl's magnetic gaze. it felt like gen was staring through her, down to her bones. "oh yeah," she nods, "for sure."

my treat. was she taunting her? did it matter? "i'd never say no to a martini."

emilia bites the inside of her cheek, reminding herself that if gen forgot to pay her back, she could always ask dove to cover it - though she hated asking dove to cover things. "if you want, i can go ahead and pay for the dress while you finish getting changed." the last thing em needed was for gen to see her using the debit card from her local indiana-based credit union.

“  thanks,  ”  gen’s  gratitude  rings  out  crisp  and  casual.  it  isn’t  her  charming  thank  you  or  her  thoughtless  one,  it’s  the  kind  of  weightless  appreciation  reserved  for  a  friend  that’s  done  you  some  small  favour:  pleasant  and  quickly  forgotten.  she  can’t  help,  though,  the  way  her  attention  snags  on  emilia’s  immediate  insistence  on  a  payment  plan.  money,  in  the  circles  gen  runs  in,  swirls  around  as  prettily  and  plentifully  as  the  bubbles  in  cristal.  repayment  between  friends  exists  as  an  afterthought,  if  at  all.  and  while  she’s  not  opposed  to  the  fact  that  some  people  prefer  to  keep  their  checking  books  carefully  balanced,  the  immediacy  with  which  the  subject  rose  to  the  other  girl’s  lips  made  her  pause.  to  her  it  bordered  on  crass,  and  that  wasn’t  a  way  she  had  known  emilia  to  be.  “  of  course,  ”  her  voice  is  warm,  obliging.  her  eyes  watch  emilia  steadily  in  the  mirror  as  she  unzips  the  dress,  the  other  girl  seemingly  too  absorbed  in  her  task  to  notice.  

zipper  done  with,  one  arm  holding  her  dress  in  place,  gen  turns  to  face  emilia.  she’s  closer  to  emilia  than  she  ever  usually  is.  close  enough  to  smell  her  perfume,  not  one  she  recognizes,  and  close  enough  to  see  every  flicker  of  expression  that  runs  across  her  face  in  crystal  clear  detail.  “  you  poor  thing.  you  said  your  dad  was  an  attorney  right  ?  he  must  be  a  real  hardass.  ”  her  expression  shifts  to  one  of  camaraderie,  the  curiosity  and  scrutiny  of  her  gaze  hidden  behind  charming  eyes,  “  we  should  grab  martinis  and  talk  about  dads  sometime,  my  treat  ”  it  could  be  an  offer  of  friendship  or  it  could  be  a  trap,  but  genevieve  spins  it  like  a  web.

closed starter for : juniper otero / @scvntillas where : juniper's office/classroom, portum university.

despite whatever darkness had blanketed portum ( around the time ade arrived, something she was ignoring ), people were helpful. it was different than most towns for the obvious reason, making it easy for the hybrid to get comfortable. strings came attached to the help she was offered in the past. those who had no idea what they were dealing with trying — and sometimes succeeding — at getting adelaide to use her abilities to their gain. here, she didn't have to worry about that. so many were much more competent with their own powers. adelaide was no longer different; they all were. she knocks on the frame of the open door, smiling and waving when getting the gorgon's attention. a recommended person to seek, ade did and was glad the professor had time after classes to spend with her. someone so old looking so young, it was still a wonder. ❝ thank you for helping me out. i'm pretty excited for my crash course. ❞

juniper!

i had like 3 highlighters on hand go away XD anyway this is my girl juniper, shes severely underrated and therefore my new favorite character in existence <3 this was my only reference lol

juniper berries *insert theyre the same picture meme*

right so, shortly after moving to camp (early 2004) hilal is still overwhelmed by it all and seeks comfort by taking long walks around camp. the beauty and stillness of nature grounds her and she needs all she can get in that department. its been a rough few months.

on one of her early morning walks shes deep in thought and doesnt notice a small depression in her usual path. she slips and falls on a jagged rock. no serious harm done but she does hurt her wrist quite badly.

juniper, a nymph who lives around these parts, happens to see the whole ordeal and is quick to offer assistance. hilal is very surprised to see anyone here at this time, much less... a green skinned lady about her age? she watches in silence as she uses leaves and sticks to make a splint of sorts.

after she recovers from her initial shock, she stammers her thanks at the makeshift cast and makes her way back to camp. the pain starts to kick in almost immediately and shes sent to the infirmary at once

she has a hairline fractured wrist which in and of itself isnt serious, but her CTS complicates things a little; a couple months prior hilal was involved in a serious car accident. the closed wound from her surgery had partially opened from her fall.

L: trenchcoat, black trousers and turtleneck and boots, mulberry hijab (not shown). R: post CT surgery brace, also black lol, left hand.

a couple days later when shes in a better headspace, she recounts to chiron what, rather who, shed seen on her walk. he informs her that she must have met a dryad, or wood nymph, and that they inhabit certain trees. the nymph living closest to camp was juniper. hilal confirms that the kind stranger had given her a little blue thing. a juniper berry she learns, which she keeps on her desk next to a pinecone, some acorns, and a few rocks shed collected.

*le timeskip*

some time later hilal gets back to work (as long as she takes breaks and doesnt put pressure on her healing wrist) and decides to go pay juniper a visit. she bakes a few things she thinks she might like and goes searching for a tree with the pretty blue things.

juniper is quite surprised as she seldom gets any guests, except perhaps for the satyr that visits her when he can. this strange mortal has even brought food with her! has she mistaken her for someone above her in rank? a goddess maybe? this was all very new to her. but the mortal was kind, too kind, and very understanding. she insisted that they were for her, a gift. and who was she to deny?

hilal made scones lol because its the only english thing she could think of, and makes a really great treat with some butter and jam. and a glass of cold milk? heaven. as well as other picnic-y stuff

the two have a small feast and part ways. she eventually indirectly helps grover and juniper get together and is honestly their biggest fan lol. she attends their wedding and visits them in new athens.

happy ending :)

LOCATION: Sunflower Trinkets CLOSED for @mystycfics (Juniper)

It had been years since Kai had last seen Juniper. He knew she was Cricket's older sister, and that she had up and vanished about ten years ago. He hadn't thought much of it then, figuring that sort of thing just happened. People left, but it wasn't often, in his experience, that they came back. But, Raven's Peak wasn't a normal place, so maybe it did make some sense.

He wasn't sure if she would remember him, so he planned on just walking past her. But, as he got closer, he could sense something off about her. It was something familiar to him, something he couldn't ignore. He'd had more dealings with demons in the past couple of months than he'd ever thought he would, and he could sense the energy of hell on her. "Hey." He said, not really sure how to start a conversation with her. "Welcome back to town." Kai continued, eyeing her carefully. "I don't know if you remember me, I'm Kai. I know Cricket."

Ren chuckles at their words. "Our names will be up there with all these scientists and people will be talking about us," he jokes. Even though no one's going to want this hideous color on anything. It's just there. "He's been dead a while, yeah." He shakes his head in amusement, though he can't tell you when he died. Memorizing years and history was never his thing. He was too busy leveling up and seeking higher scores in whatever game he was addicted to in the moment. He tries to keep up with all the ingredients she's included in this thing, but it's a lot. Which explains why it tastes so awful and if he ends up feeling sick in a few hours or tomorrow morning, he'll know why. Yet Ren's feeling self indulgent today, wanting whatever gets him distracted and buzzed the quickest. He makes a face, shaking his head as he coughs a little because of the burn it leaves coupled with how horrible it tastes. "Don't let anyone near this, it's too much." He chuckles in between coughs. "I do feel buzzed, but now I want an actual drink, with all due respect to your concoction. Wait, did you give it a name?"

The color of the liquor is honestly reminiscent of the color of used mop water; like when Mike's particularly pissed at June and makes her mop the floor of the entire shop before leaving for the night - or the color of someone's tattoo when it ages and just turns greenish black, except it's not just greenish - it's purpleish, and reddish; it's a lot. "I think so - somebody fucking call Bill Nye, or Neil deGrasse Tyson -" she falters; they're the only science people she knows, besides, "- Einstein? He's - he's dead, right?" The eleventh grade education kicks in - but June's never claimed to be smart. She knows random facts picked up over the years, and the inside of cars - and whatever else she just Googles; college never would've suited her, anyways. "Maybe? I mean - it's fucking, um - Patron, and then like - this vodka brand I can't remember - a fancy scotch, um ... Skrewball, Jack Daniels, Captain Morgan's... I added whoever's fucking - Angry Orchard's that was on the counter, and a Four Loko. Peach schnapps - then just like, cranberry juice, pineapple juice, orange juice - who the fuck brings orange juice to a party? - Coke, Sprite, fucking, um - Mountain Dew, which, again - who the fuck?" As she rattles off the countless liquids she's added to the bottle - she realizes she very much well be poisoning them. Oh well. June only grins as Ren talks - taking back the bottle and taking a swig - coughing afterwards, because shit. "I know! But don't you feel buzzed?"

"a few more days left and school will be back in session." she noted before taking a bite of her pizza slice. as much as she loved working at the museum during the summer, she missed teaching more. teaching history was a favorite of hers. always had been. " did you have fun at medusa's?" she asked, raising an eyebrow as she looked at her friend.
