Benjamin didnโt want to show up for work today. Thatโs a fact. However, he didnโt have much of a choice. The bar was strangely empty compared to most other nights and he took comfort in that if only for a moment. He heard the door open as someone walked in to take a seat. He took a deep breath and hoped for the best as he approached them. โEvening.โ He greeted with a small smile, โWhat can I get for you today๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝโ He recognized them alomst instantly when they locked eyes. He let out a soft sigh. Great.
open starter // ( feel free to assume connections if youโd like! )
the arch in her brow climbs ever higher, pronounced against an otherwise stripped countenance. what little interaction sheโs attained with the man behind the counter, sheโs not enjoyed, and now it seems the mutual apprehension has been elucidated by the mere halt in his offer. she does not defer from her seat, nor the brunt of what she suspects will be a thoroughly uncomfortable exchange. ` evening to you, too. a gillywater sounds lovely right about now. ` a guileful simper writs across her lips, un - characteristically un - painted. ` has anyone ever told you that youโre not particularly adept at masquerading your aversion ? `

hi peaches !! ira here, with an intro thatโs long overdue -- though i have for you what i hope is a concise and compact breakdown of miss selwyn, whom iโve taken the liberty to craft from scratch with bases only in the lore and ethos of the nearly - extant selwyn family. i am so super duper honoured and thrilled to be a part of this family and cannot wait to get to know all of you ( and your beautiful muses ) so please leave a like on this post if youโd like to plot and iโll come forth to plot very shortly !! ๐ป๐น๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐น ๐พ๐จ๐น๐ต๐ฐ๐ต๐ฎ๐บ : poisoning, attempted murder, anxiety, madness.
โงผ park sooyoung, cisfemale, she / her / bare by wildes + a near parasitic need for catharsis, rivulets of water gleaning off the wing of a jet - black swan, the deadly routine of lovelessness. โงฝ โโ hey, isnโt that DIANA SELWYN ? i read a daily prophet article on them, once ; the TWENTY - THREE year old [ pure - blood ] WITCH is a [ HOGWARTS alumnus who has gone on to be a SEEKER FOR THE HOLYHEAD HARPIES. ] iโve heard they can be quite SEDULOUS & SCINTILLATING, but i donโt know โฆ they came off very INSOUCIANT & DELPHIC in that interview. it really is hard to know what to believe these days though, isnโt it ?
๐ท๐น๐ฌ๐ณ๐ผ๐ซ๐ฌ ... the girlโs nascent years are bled across wars. cassandra selwyn is a starling, a songbird, a divine phantom in the clutches of wayward men, but she is not a mother. diana comes to her as headaches often do -- once afflicted, soon dismissed. what binds her departed flesh to her is not love, but a garish desire to keep her own divinity adrift, never to be snuffed out. she knits her progeny in her own image, and marvels at her ingenuity, her likeness -- until her daughter wades into the throes of girlhood and threads through colours sheโs never managed to. jealousy rankles as deep as it cuts, and venom festers where there was once hope for a kindling of kinship. on the eve of dianaโs seventh birthday, cassandra selwyn coaxes a slurry of belladonna and aconite into the childโs supper. diana is found, salvaged from a husk of a home, and lives to cross the threshold into another year. her mother would vanish and eschew any efforts to locate her for a decade before she materialises again, in the alcove of a casket, embroidered with pallor and strings of belladonna.
now unmoored, diana astounds and baffles the best of her peers and teachers with her aptitude for flying and alchemy ( though they were often kind enough to prevaricate the notion that her mother had been an exceptional alchemist ) and preens under the swathes of glamour and praise. now oscillating between two realms of understanding and two platitudes of โ morality, โ sheโs entreated to unspool, on her own, the ideals of purity and nobility that her mother had managed to indoctrinate in her and what sheโs inculcated on her own, standing on her own two feet.
๐ป๐ณ๐ซ๐น : she was raised in the image of a starlet mother who, upon realising that her own daughter had grown more precocious and promising than she had at that age, took it upon herself to poison her own blood. the attempt failed and her mother fled, leaving her in the care of a foster family who never could get through to diana. now, as the newly inducted seeker of the holyhead harpies, sheโs grappling with the symptoms of disillusionment and anxiety that her mother had displayed, and has to stand stalwart against the decision which has to be made in the eminent war.
๐ช๐ถ๐ต๐ต๐ฌ๐ช๐ป๐ฐ๐ถ๐ต๐บ ... everything and anything under the sun would be dearly appreciated and cherished !! iโll whip up a connections page fairly soon ensuing this, but for now, iโd love for her a fair few friends, acquaintances, arch - nemeses, frenemies, flings, will - they - wonโt - theyโs, companions, and those who empathise with her position in the limbo between โ light โ and โ dark. โ
