bael

@zoraglover; zora.

“ so, ol’ vice president, “    the wide and smug grin was audible in bael’s voice even before he walked up besides them, naturally falling into step with president know-it-better — emphasis on the ‘ better ‘.    “ which one of us do you think was it? “    and if it was not obvious what recent event he was referring to, he tucked a cigarette between his lips, lighting it with a nonchalant ease not many would dare to have while authorities still questioned the fault or intention behind the fire at the lambda sig party.    “ as an unbiased individual– “    he grinned a little too amused by the topic, blowing a perfectly round ring of smoke into the air above them,    “ –i’m taking bets. you can set your money on which organisation or which person specifically or both, who cares? “     he sure didn’t. a major percentage of him was only joking, anyway. at least, for as long as he spoke to them.     “ and to make it really interesting you can bet on the punishment — that makes five bucks on the hopes of a fraternity or sorority dying, doesn’t it? “

bael was one of those people who zora wasn’t sure why they were in greek life. out of all the frats, kappa tau made the most sense for him, but still. conforming to the man in any fashion didn’t strike her as bael, but he made his choice - the wrong choice, if you ask zora. “ if i didn’t know any better, i’d think it was you, wolff. ” eyes fixated on the flagrant display of smoke, taunting her. it’s like he knew...but that would be impossible, wouldn’t it? “ the hellcat did say the last person seen by the shed was a kappa tau. if i were a betting woman, you might be my horse. ” acting as if her only information source was secondary was part of how she was gonna distance herself, necessary if she was gonna make it out unscathed. “ now if we’re saying it was you, hypothetically, yeah...kappa tau should be suspended. for good. that is, if lockwood doesn’t get cold feet. ”

@sashasduke

“ please tell me it was all just a nightmare. ” zora dug her face into sasha’s pillow as she woke up with the most raging hangover. last night, the first place she thought to run to was sasha’s. she knew that if anyone would have her back, no matter what, it’d be her well zev too, but we all know why she didn’t run to them. “ thanks...by the way. i don’t know what i’d do if you weren’t around. ” she really didn’t. zora’d been a wreck: drunk, drugged out, terrified, exhausted, enraged. it was a miracle sash let her stay.

mbti - entj

commanders are natural-born leaders. people with this personality type embody the gifts of charisma and confidence, and project authority in a way that draws crowds together behind a common goal. however, commanders are also characterized by an often ruthless level of rationality, using their drive, determination and sharp minds to achieve whatever end they’ve set for themselves. perhaps it is best that they make up only three percent of the population, lest they overwhelm the more timid and sensitive personality types that make up much of the rest of the world – but we have commanders to thank for many of the businesses and institutions we take for granted every day.

at the negotiating table, be it in a corporate environment or buying a car, commanders are dominant, relentless, and unforgiving. this isn’t because they are coldhearted or vicious per se – it’s more that commander personalities genuinely enjoy the challenge, the battle of wits, the repartee that comes from this environment, and if the other side can’t keep up, that’s no reason for commanders to fold on their own core tenet of ultimate victory. they also have a particular skill in calling out others’ failures with a chilling degree of insensitivity, and this is where commanders really start to run into trouble.

commanders are true powerhouses, and they cultivate an image of being larger than life – and often enough they are. they need to remember though, that their stature comes not just from their own actions, but from the actions of the team that props them up, and that it’s important to recognize the contributions, talents and needs, especially from an emotional perspective, of their support network. even if they have to adopt a “fake it ‘til you make it” mentality, if commanders are able to combine an emotionally healthy focus alongside their many strengths, they will be rewarded with deep, satisfying relationships and all the challenging victories they can handle.

enneagram - type 8w7

people of this personality type are essentially unwilling to be controlled, either by others or by their circumstances; they fully intend to be masters of their fate. eights are strong willed, decisive, practical, tough minded and energetic. they also tend to be domineering; their unwillingness to be controlled by others frequently manifests in the need to control others instead. when healthy, this tendency is kept under check, but the tendency is always there, nevertheless, and can assume a central role in the eight’s interpersonal relationships.

eights generally have powerful instincts and strong physical appetites which they indulge without feelings of shame or guilt. they want a lot out of life and feel fully prepared to go out and get it. they need to be financially independent and often have a hard time working for anyone. this sometimes necessitates that the eight opt out of the system entirely, assuming something of an outlaw mentality. most eights however, find a way to be financially independent while making their peace with society, but they always retain an uneasy association with any hierarchical relationship that sees the eight in any position other than the top position.

eights are prone to anger. when severely provoked, or when the personality is unbalanced, bouts of anger can turn into rages. unhealthy eights are frankly aggressive and when pushed, can resort to violence. such eights enjoy intimidating others whom they see as “weak” and feel little compunction about walking over anyone who stands in their way. they can be crude, brutal and dangerous.

hogwarts house - gryffindor

the gryffindor house emphasizes the traits of courage as well as “daring, nerve, and chivalry,” and thus its members are generally regarded as brave, though sometimes to the point of recklessness. some gryffindors have also been noted to be short-tempered.

max

closed starter for @zoraglover

this whole thing with the lamba fire was a bit of a double-edged sword for max. on the one hand, they lived to see the greek system LITERALLY burn. but on the other, it seemed to be the only thing everyone has been talking about this week, and frankly they’ve had enough. as they scroll through an unnecessary long twitter thread about some frat drama they can’t help but laugh. “ god, honestly, whoever did this is a fucking legend. ” to their knowledge there weren’t any injuries or anything, so who cares? “ if i didn’t know better i’d think it was your doing. but i know you would’ve AT LEAST invited me, right? ”

zora was doing everything she could to try and get her mind off of last night, but it seemed pretty much impossible. everywhere she turned, someone was talking about it - both online and in real life. whispers overheard at wordsworth, insta stories of the shed, the hellcat - it was like wildfire. “ trust me. if i was planning something like that, you would’ve number one on my list. ” which was true. if this was premeditated, she and max probably would’ve dressed all in black, snuck over to lambda full on heist mode. unfortunately, no part of this was planned, and that’s what scared zora the most. “ but i mean, who cares, right? it’s just a shed. ” if she weren’t involved, she probably would’ve been enjoying this just as much as max. LIVING for it. but anyone who knew zora well enough would know that and know that her mild reaction was just a little out of character.

( fire & smoking cw )

“ stupid! lighter! ” 

for the past few minutes, leaning against lambda’s shed, zora’d attempted to smoke a desperately needed cigarette, but she was failing in the most basic of aspects: actually lighting it.

at a point, you have to wonder if it’s the lighter or if it’s you. if she gave the lighter to zev, would it obey them? would it agree to work because zev willed it? even the lighter would listen to them before her. 

maybe that was it then. maybe fire wouldn’t respond to fire. only the wind could move it.

breathe in, 2, 3, 4, and out...2...3...4...

one last time. 

                 CLICK!

a burst of flame shot through, its shadow flickered, highlighting the relief upon zora’s face. finally, something was going right - even if it was something as small as a working lighter. 

shoulders falling, muscles relaxing, she raised her cigarette to meet the fire...

“ shit! ”

just as the flame met her salve, it’s as if that wind she trusted to help her light the way turned against her, reminding zora just how unworthy she truly was. 

“ shit, shit, SHIT! ”

all she could do was watch as her lighter hit the ground, fire meeting earth...again, there was nothing to be done. zev was right. of course they were. they always were. and now...now she was exactly what she was supposed to be - a self-fulfilling prophecy.

fire devoured wood, sparks charged the night like plagues of locusts, smoke invaded zora’s lungs. 

terrified, drunk, shattered - all she knew at this moment was to run like the flames climbing lambda’s shed. run where? she had no idea, but if anyone found out it was her who started this fire...that was one hell she didn’t want to face.

“ hey, look, you can’t blame me for being careful. not after all the shit that’s been going down lately - lord only knows what’ll happen next. ” she snatched the bag from his hand, “ but i trust you. for now...but only cause you’d have to be an absolute idiot to be handing out bad shit in your own house. ” as she spoke, she pulled a pill from the bag and popped it in her mouth.

who do you think we should be keeping an eye on?

— i mean, you’re ALL pretty pathetic thus far. BUT, that dorian guy is making it no secret that he’s a drug dealer. zora glover seems ready to fight anyone and everyone, and i’m taking bets on who will be the first one she hits.  kat seems to be losing the tight leash she tries to hold on everybody. and babs definitely seems unhinged. that’s all i’ve got so far. somebody do SOMETHING, or i’ll have to move universities. i wonder if yale is accepting.

“ how do i know they’re clean? ” crossing her arms, she eyed the tiny white disks. zora wasn’t an idiot. she wasn’t gonna take anything without assurance that it wasn’t laced with rat poison or some shit -- especially at a party, and especially if they were being handed out by a frat bro.

“ give me one reason to stay here cause i am THIS CLOSE to dropping out. ” zora burst into her twin’s room, flopping down onto their bed. “ nothing i do is gonna make a difference! i mean, how dumb am i, thinking that i can change this shit? ” zev was probably the only person in the world she’d ever let herself be vulnerable like this in front of. plus, she knew she was being melodramatic, so it’s not like she actually meant what she was saying, but it wouldn’t be wrong to say there wasn’t a part of her that wondered if all this was worth it.

“ nic! my boy! ” a commanding voice echoed through the hall, accompanied by the thick thud of leather boots, “ the energy has shifted, and i feel the winds in my BONES! there are b i g plans for you this year, dear, sweet nic. the real question though is...are you ready? ” per usual, zora didn’t believe in a word she said, except for the fact that there were big plans for nic. she held out hope that one day he’d help her dismantle the system - this was larger than hollingsworth though, so she was patient with him. for now.

“Great. The semester has barely started, and you’re already throwing jabs at me? Calm down & sit, please,” he sighed while straightening a bundle of papers for both of them to review. “How was your summer?” he politely inquired, though he couldn’t say if he actually cared about the answer.

“ i am calm. it seems to me like you’re the one getting riled up, foster. can’t take some friendly teasing? ” zora sat herself down, resting her combat boots on the table smack dab on top of the documents james was being so precious with. “ it was lovely. we traveled to our villa in italy, spent a month on the cape...swam with dolphins in st. croix. is that what you wanna hear? ”

“ sir remington! the fates whispered and told me i might find you here. they’ve been whispering about you a lot lately... ” zora smirked. it was always harmless fun, leading remi on with all that mystic shit. unlike most, he was an actually decent person. any “visions” she had for him tended to be positive. “ any ideas as to why that might be? ”

“ well, well, well, if it isn’t the golden boy of hollingsworth! have a good summer on your daddy’s yacht? hope you didn’t get too seasick. i know you’ve got a delicate stomach. ” zora circled her fellow VP, a joy of chaos to come fueling her elementary taunts.
