he let out a sigh of relief at her shout. that felt like more familiar territory. "good. i was starting to question my memories of you. if more than just your appearance had changed here. who's isobel? did tav pick up another stray? inn? what inn?" and he was back to feeling unsure, not understanding what to say. he really didn't like this. "you went to a shopping center without me? who was supposed to make sure you got a good deal?" @thefinalgxrl

Karlach couldn’t help but laugh at Astarion’s reaction, a grin lingering on her face. “No!” she said. “Not really. I mean, flowers are alright and all, but they’re more for, I dunno…Shadowheart, maybe. Or that cute little Isobel, remember her? From the inn?” She grinned at him. “Appealing, eh? Thank you.” She gave a chuckle and shrugged. “I got accosted by one of those perfume sample people while I was walking through a shopping center. I was pretty sure I dodged her fast enough, you know I’m light on my feet--” She grinned at him again. “But I just wanted to be sure.” @bejcwcled

[bejcwcled]

he shook his head. he didn't want to believe what she said was true. no if he wanted to keep his sanity he couldn't even consider it. janet gone for thirty years? hope and him not getting along? that sounded like nightmares. no. no even if they were right, if hope was from a different point in time than him- well he'd have to change things, janet said it was some mission she got lost on right? he'd just have to damage her suit so she couldn't go on anymore. "you're not really giving me incentives to believe you. an estranged relationship with my kid? who would want that?" @fcrafcrtnight

"I'M NOT A SPY! I'M NOT HYDRA OR ANYTHING ELSE. I AM YOUR DAUGHTER AND WE.. WE HAVEN'T ALWAYS GOTTEN ALONG, BUT.. IT'S THE TRUTH. IT'S ME, DAD. you know it. deep down." and did he? right now, hope knew that she could only hope that he would recognise her. or.. at least, that he would know that she was not lying. she wouldn't. not about this. "we... we didn't get along for the longest time. it was.. it was no one's fault, dad." @bejcwcled

[bejcwcled]

"i simply speak the truth. i've never seen anyone as beautiful as you." he shook his head. "i did have someone once. he was charming and kind, quite pretty too but pretty in a different way. you have this almost angelic aura about you. no i can't think of anyone more deserving than you." no it was better to keep the conversation on the beautiful louis than let his mind wander back to nicky. if he thought too much about his beloved spouse he'd start crying. that would just ruin everything. @daydrcamerss

@bejcwcled - don't you know how beautiful you look?

no matter how hard he tried... he couldn't get over lestat. he couldn't get the other out of his head nor heart. he knew he should try to get away from him but... a part of him wondered whether lestat lacking in his memories could be a good thing. "you're very kind." louis mused as he shook his head. "far too charming for your own good, really. i'm sure that you have someone more deserving of your compliments around here, no? someone... more beautiful?" louis questioned.

[bejcwcled]

he didn't do it on purpose but he started to zone out and think about where he'd find his next meal as the other talked. it sounded too much like the nonsense that came out of the absolute cult. gods had he ran into something similar here? did he just attract weirdos now? his head snapped up at the word vampire. oh no. not again. "nope, no, not dealing with this. find a minion elsewhere." @fcrafcrtnight

"I AM THE DARK. WHAT IS BEHIND IT. WHAT WILL ALWAYS BE BEHIND IT." he was the dark and one could say that.. he had been what had started it all. what had made it happen. what would continue to and this one? he meant nothing. it was almost as if he was not standing in front of him. not there. at all. "but i believe that the word that they used here be... vampire?" @bejcwcled

[bejcwcled]

"i believe the word you're looking for is elf. is your world really that dull? you only know human and whatever thing you are." knowing there was at least one monster hunter in the area made him a bit more hesitant to reveal what he was. now this being before him clearly wasn't a human nor an elf, if not the ignorance his less than stellar appearance gave that away. "and why should i give away all my secrets? at least give me a reason to consider it." @fcrafcrtnight

❝ i’ve never lived like i was in control of my own life. ❞ (from astarion)

"YOU ARE A STRANGE ONE. STRANGE SPECIES INDEED. EH? NOT HUMAN, BUT NOT.. ANYTHING ELSE, EITHER. STRANGE." orlok sniffled the air around the other, almost as if he was attempting to see just what it was that he was hiding as well. there seemed to be a lot and.. right now, he was going to figure out just what that was. wasn't he? he happened to think he could do so. "what are you, i wonder? something different? is that so?" @bejcwcled

[bejcwcled]

he rolled his eyes at her comment. this was hardly the first time someone commented on his bedside manner and he seriously doubted it would be the last. he didn't see why it was needed. wasn't that what the nurses or er doctors were for? "i can be charming when i want to. i simply don't see a need at the moment. and what help do you supposedly need?" he was almost positive this woman was wasting his time. "and why would i want to align myself with you? as you said you killed your coven members. why would i want a partner, no an assistant, who could stab me in the back?" @demongemz

Agatha could sense the other’s magic and in truth, it was something she was desperate for, power-hungry Agatha Harkness is what everyone dubbed her and there was some truth to that lore when it came down to it she attached herself to powerful people. She’d taken the wrong approach with Wanda but that could always be fixed with how quickly people turned on her in the end. “Such a charmer you are, I have to wonder if all the doctors within his hospital attended the same bedside manner course or is it a requirement to be so rude to those who might require your help” she mused with a smile before tilting her head “you’ve gained some interesting power and the idea of sharing is for children, I’m talking about an alliance between us, power friends need other powerful friends. I don’t do covens, I'm a coven killer, and my reputation precedes me almost anywhere I go.” @bejcwcled

[bejcwcled]

"my life has been strange lately. i'm not opposed to believing in a higher power as much as i used to be." astarion shrugged his shoulders. "revenge was a common theme amongst the companions i traveled with. did i ever tell you what happened to me before arriving here? why i can walk in the sun?" @thefinalgxrl

i think it's... something that knits us all together. (from astarion) - @bejcwcled

A soft snort fell from Lucy Gray’s lips as Astarion spoke. She looked over at him with a raised eyebrow. “I never took you for the sort to believe in fate,” she said, a faint smile touching her lips. She really had no idea how to act around Astarion now for a plethora of reasons, but she couldn’t deny that she still cared about him. “Or are you just talkin’ about…I don’t know, revenge, or something depressing like that?” She smiled briefly as she spoke. @bejcwcled

[bejcwcled]

ah so he wasn't going to talk his way out of a fight this time. probably wasn't going to take this man by surprise either. or maybe if he kept talking he could get him off guard and get in a hit that way. "if you want to get technical yes. now why would i tell you that and try to get you in my bed? it's not like i had a choice. it was either i bring him people or i get punished and people still die. cazador thankfully doesn't seem to be here. although i wish he would arrive. this city might startle him and oh it would be so easy to get my revenge. i prefer a good boar these days. sadly they aren't hard to find neither is a good consenting blood donor." the more he thought about it he wondered why he hadn't asked that singer who was attached to him or karlach. it certainly would be the simpler solution. this conversation was making his hunger more noticeable. perhaps he could get a bite in while the other yapped. "i meant hunter. please i've killed others like you so easily. granted they didn't know what they were looking at. you don't seem any harder to kill than a goblin though." @demongemz

Trevor hadn’t had a good fight since he arrived here; the very idea of taking on a creature meant he didn’t have to hold back, which was always a plus. “Ahh so you are nothing more than a low-level vampire then? Your seducing skills still lead to death and you haven’t attempted to try your methods on me which means the Master is gone and rats no longer hold your appetite.” he mused keeping his hand close to his weapon after all he wasn’t going to be the one making the first move. “The only monster I see is the one who stands before me, if you make a move against me you will not survive it little sheep.” @bejcwcled

[bejcwcled]

"why would i lie about that? pretending to know who you are doesn't get me answers." stating his confusion certainly didn't seem to either though. he was starting to get frustrated. this man was wasting his time. something about this man and the way he talked irritated him. he could feel his temper rising as if he'd been insulted.

and then the man did just that. the next thing loki knew he had the man pinned up against the wall, a knife at his throat. "you were saying?" he hissed. where had this come from? he wasn't violent. and the knife? he could have sworn he didn't have one on him. for a second though it was like someone else had taken over his body. he wanted to hurt this man for insulting him. "stood up to you huh. gonna give any more clues than that?" @fcrafcrtnight

"OOF. YOU REALLY DON'T REMEMBER. MAN, THIS IS.. WELL, I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY." that it was much more fun when he had remembered and that this right here was boring as fuck? it was and right now, nathaniel didn't particularly know what he was meant to do about any of this. did he? no. arms crossed over his chest, he sighed. "you didn't use to. although, old you was way more fun about it, no offence. this new you.... KINDA SUCKS, MAN." shrugging. "yes and you were the one big here that stood up to me. fun, huh?" @bejcwcled

[bejcwcled]

"you're not cold?" he asked tilting his head to the side. hmm this was interesting. he knew he wasn't really dressed properly for the weather either. the thin jacket and shirt underneath made a bit of a hypocrite. however, he rarely ever felt cold. he'd often felt too warm if he bundled up like everyone else. "and your heat works right? wouldn't want you to get sick." okay maybe he was starting to get a bit too concerned about this woman. maybe he was too lonely that he was finding himself quickly getting attached to strangers. "no problem." @moonglowmuses

❝ you’re dressed too lightly in this cold weather. ❞ ( amanda & loki )

amanda looked down at her attire, recognizing that she was only wearing a light sweater and a pair of jeans. "oh... i did not notice that until you pointed it out." she was wearing a sheepish smile, lifting and dropping her shoulders in contrition. "my car isn't far, so i should be okay, but yeah. next time, i'll wear something heavier." amanda had been told that her blood ran hot, but that did not mean that she was not cold just like everyone else was. "i appreciate you letting me know what you think." she found that to be an important, admirable quality.

"am i? is this city secretly full of sunshine and rainbows? that's yet to be decided. right now it's leaning towards not." she answered shrugging her shoulders. she stared at the hand for a moment before shaking it. she couldn't bring herself to be rude. "uh the old one i think. made the mistake of telling him i thought he looked like my dad. it didn't go over well." it sounded so stupid now that she thought about it some more. "guess i'm just not in the mood for jokes." @xtinyslip

“um? you’re obviously off to a bad start. huh? well… i have no idea if I’m about to make that better or not? cory ellison.” holding out a hand to her because it was the polite thing to do. yes, he could be a lot of terrible things but was he that bad? he didn’t think so. “pederson?” he was grimacing on the inside. “now I get the mood. eh I one did you bump into? the old one? or the really old one?” not about to share his relation to them yet. “eh? ouch? it was a joke… uh clearly a bad one?” jeez. tough crowd today. @bejcwcled

[bejcwcled]

"i forgot everything huh? well isn't that a convenient claim." his stubborn side was refusing to let him believe what he was being told. while he knew the world wasn't as simple and straightforward as most people thought well apparently his imagination had limits too. he stared at their joint hands. "did? what are you talking about? i'd remember if our marriage fell apart." he only got more confused as she went on. "the quantum realm? that's- that's not possible. no one can survive that." @fcdcdmcmories

"THAT'S BECAUSE YOU FORGOT EVERYTHING!" she was quite aware that she needed to stop talking in riddles and that this was not a good thing and that it wasn't his fault either but then again, she also knew that she had to tell him before HE RAN INTO KANG OR WORSE.. SOMEONE ELSE. shaking her head, she took his hands in her own, hoping that would be able to calm him down. "henry. honey, slow down. okay? please? I'M NOT LEAVING YOU, BUT.. I DID. in the past. there was something and.. s.h.i.e.ld.. they.. we went to fix it. i got lost in the quantum realm. for thirty years, i didn't.. i didn't have you and hope. you remember her as six, because.. that is when it happened. you were there for her entire life. i was not. i only saw her again.. thirty years later." / @bejcwcled

[bejcwcled]

hank shook his head. "no you're a spy. you and your people got to janet and now you're trying to trick me." he refused to believe the story this woman and janet were telling him. it was too absurd. how could someone lose forty years of memories? not to mention his appearance. no they were wrong. "she doesn't seem to live with me here." he countered, freezing when he saw the id. the rational part of his brain knew this could still be a trick but he still found himself pausing and reaching out for it. "van dyne? no that's not- hope has my last name. if you're her what- what happened?" @fcrafcrtnight

"WHAT THE HELL? I AM HOPE. YOU.. LISTEN. ASK ME ANYTHING. ANYTHING YOU WANT. I.. I KNOW YOUR WORK BETTER THAN ANYONE." and she didn't get why it was that he didn't see that. or rather, she did, seeing as he didn't particularly remember her, but.. right now, she also knew that she had to get to him before.. well, someone like kang did. right? "mom doesn't want to leave you. and look, i.." she pulled out her id, showing it to him. "HOPE VAN DYNE. SEE? THAT'S ME. THAT'S MY NAME."

do i smell like roses to you? - Karlach & Astarion (@thefinalgxrl)

"do you want to smell like flowers? is that a good thing?" astarion asked trying to stall. flowers would never be the first thing he'd compare karlach to. flowers were fragile and karlach was anything but. "you smell appealing. i've been tempted to- look are you sure you want to have this conversation? i don't think it's productive."

[bejcwcled]

lazar rolled his eyes. that had not been what he meant but when did abigail ever truly listen to him? "i wasn't talking about that but if you must bring up that unfortunate incident i will inform you that it proves you do need saving and protection. how close did you come to dying? hmm? from a pack of pathetic humans. and you wonder why i don't want you anywhere near our business." he muttered under his breathe. he loved his daughter but at times like this she frustrated him. "i need to rebuild my empire here but that certainly isn't a task for you. do you think you can manage to find dinner and stay in one piece?" @fcrafcrtnight

know, in your heart, that there's nothing i can do to save you. (from lazar) @bejcwcled

"FATHER, I... I DO NOT REQUIRE SAVING. I'M JUST FINE. UNHARMED AND.. MYSELF, ONCE AGAIN. what happened at the manor, it was.. it was a moment of weakness. nothing more." bowing her head in disappointment, seeing as.. right now, that did begin to cover how she felt. didn't it? it was as if she was one person and then, in her father's presence, she grew.. smaller. it was as if she couldn't be sure of herself, no matter how hard she tried. it was awful. absolutely pathetic. "what do you need done? i can see to it myself right now."

[bejcwcled]

"NO YOU'RE NOT! my daughter is a child! i don't know who you are or why you and my wife are trying to convince me you're hope but i'm not falling for it. who do you work for? hydra? the soviets?" he argued shaking his head. the two women trying to trick him was the only thing that made sense. the idea that he had somehow lost forty years of memories, that his daughter had grown up without him- no he refused to even consider that. "am i okay?" he repeated, a bitter laugh escaping him. "i've been pulled into another universe, my wife appears to want to leave me, and now i have a stranger pretending to be my child. no i'm not okay." @fcrafcrtnight

"I AM. IT'S.. IT'S ME. IT'S HOPE. YOU REALLY DON'T RECOGNISE ME?" this was bad. this was horrible, in so many different ways, and.. right now, she couldn't say that she knew what she was meant to do about it. did she? not at all and not in the slightest and.. as far as she was concerned, they had been here before. right? they had and right now, how did she even convince him of the truth? "it is. i'm from... i guess that you could say that i am from the future? WOAH. you okay?" @bejcwcled

[bejcwcled]

"happened to you before? remember what? janet, you're talking in riddles!" hank shouted unable to hold back his frustration. nothing here made any sense. he thought he had seen the impossible with s.h.i.e.l.d. but this... this was a whole other can of worms. "what are you talking about? are you leaving me? is that what's happening? we end up in another universe and you leave me? no she can't! hope is six! i just put her to bed last night. i had to read her a story." @fcdcdmcmories

"BECAUSE IT'S HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE? oh, god. you don't remember it, do you?" that was going to be a problem. a part of her was selfish and a part of her was glad that he did not remember what had happened with kang, but then again.. SHE ALSO KNEW SHE HAD TO TELL HIM. "henry, because we didn't. you know? and hope.. i don't know where she is, but she can take care of herself. she's a grown woman and she's got scott and cassie, after all." / @bejcwcled
