.｡.:*☆ Belle knew that sometimes, she just needed to accept help. Even when she was proud of not being the damsel in distress. So, yes, when the man grunted something and then left, the young woman was thankful.

"Most likely not, no," She made a grimace and looked at Damon. "But what am I supposed to do if he did not listen? Just accept my opinion does not matter to him in any way?"

Damon was never one to stop a strong woman in the path of protecting themselves. However, he also couldn't just stand idly by while this man was trying to fight her either, right? "everything alright here?" Damon asked, eyeing the two. "Not the best place to be fighting, huh?"

.｡.:*☆ She was scolding herself for being so careless. Medusa had bought those tickets to surprise Wade with them, and now they were gone. And yes, she had looked for them in her apartment already. So the only possible place now was the way from the mall where she'd bought them.

"Maybe....?" It was not that she was always turning down help in general. Just, this voice. This face. Medusa felt like she knew the man. Like they had met before at some point.

"But I fear it's no use, anyway. If they were here, they are surely long gone at this point."

Eros had just left his house and headed to the nearby park. Sometimes he liked to watch the stars at night. There was something familiar about the sky, stars and moon. He could never place his finger on it. It was rather peaceful to be in the park on his own. He had always brought a blanket and snacks with so he could watch it until he fell asleep.

There was a weird light that appeared in the night sky and he looked around for the source. Seeing someone with their flashlight on, it almost looked like they were trying to find something. "Um...did you lose something?" He rubbed his eyes with his sleeve.

.｡.:*☆ "Well, I am not planning to live in fear only because we do not know yet what is going on here." That did not mean that Harley was not right. Just that Ivy was not willing to give in. "I would have suggested a nice club. Some drinks, some dancing. Wearing the dress you got me," She winked at Harley. "Or we stay home, order pizza, and watch DVDs. Up to you, really."

"Well, now that you put it like that, I guess no? Although after the month I've had, I think it would be better to stay in the apartment. However, you are right." Harley smiled softly at the other. "What did you have in mind? I haven't really explored the city that much, I guess I fell into a slump, which is very unlike me."

.｡.:*☆ "No idea which genius you are refering to here...." All Ivy knew was that people like him made her hate coming to the library. But there was some research to do and her laptop was still dead. Yet, this attitude already made her regret her decision. Even when it had not her being loud.

"Also, bet if you would have been the loud one, you would have been coming up with an excuse for your behaviour at this point," She added, eyeing Edward from head to toe. "Or you would have just ignored it, surely thinking you are simply above people like us. Right?"

Edward had been at the nearby library doing some reading when he heard someone loudly coming into the room. His eyebrows knitted together as he looked over at the person, “Hey, this is a library can you I don’t know...keep it quiet there are signs literally everywhere. Genius’ are trying to do work here, if you don’t like it then leave.” He says as he watched the person roll his eyes and turn around. “Yeah that’s what I thought.” Edward sighed before looking over at the person next to him, “The nerve of some people right?”

.｡.:*☆ "Pink or green?" Lydia scrunched her nose, thinking for a moment. It was true that she had asked for opinions, yes. But pink was just such a...girly colour. One Lydia would usually avoid like the plague.

"Guess I could try with a darker green. Let me just check if I have one."

"I'd pick pink or green, myself," Makoto mused, twisting one of her rose earrings in her earlobe. "That's pretty good, I wish I could draw that good," she said with a small smile.

.｡.:*☆ “You know what - we should go swimming!” Percy said, staring longingly towards the beach as he did. It was merely the middle of January. Only a child if Poseidon would come up with such an idea, for sure.

“Come one! I am sure the water is already warm enough. And there won’t be any sharks, either! Mean… I do hope so. Haven’t heard of any hanging around near the beach, at least.” He thought for a moment. “Or we just go to the indoor swimming pool, instead?” Maybe not all people could deal with cold water, after all. "Wait - do you know if they have any indoor pools here, anyway?"

[ofcelestialstories]

.｡.:*☆ "Eric...?" Ariel was hesitant at first because, the first man she had thought would be Eric had turned out to be a stranger. And it had utterly confused her.

"It is me.... yes! Yes!" She beamed now. "Are you okay? Since when are you actually here?"

@ofcelestialstories [Ariel]

"Ariel, is that you?" Eric asked the other, someone that he had hoped to see in this city but wasn't sure if he would. "You have no idea how lost I have been without you. I just woke up in a field, dazed and confused. Little did I know, I'm actually not from Ivy Cove."

[ofcelestialstories]

.｡.:*☆ "Well, means I do not have to lecture you now about how reckless this all was, at least." Not that Jack could not understand it. After all, he had helped getting people out after all Hell had been breaking lose. That had also been when he's lost Stolas in the chaos.

"And, I do not know. But it reminds me about what the old man told me about London. Obviously, some of the holidays have been quite eventful there, as well."

@ofcelestialstories [Random Starter]

"Oh, I hope no one was seriously hurt in that fire! Does anyone know what happened or what caused such a massive, terrible event?" Stolas asked the other curiously, a slight frown on his lips. "I wish I could have saved more, but I did manage to get about three people out before I had to remember I'm a bit more human up here and can get hurt easier."

[ofcelestialstories]

.｡.:*☆ "I am sure it is going to heal without magic." Sure, it was easy for Hercules to talk. He was the son of a God, after all. From all he knew, that were usually things he did not worry about.

"But it will take time, and if it makes you feel better, we could look for some sort of healing spell?" He shrugged. "Also, I am sorry for not being there in time. Like, one moment we had fun, and then...." Herc surely duid not have to say it. Billy knew very well what had happened then, after all.

@ofcelestialstories [For Hercules]

"I really don't understand how that happened. Who sets a fire in a building full of fucking people?" Billy wasn't really mad at the other nor did he expect them to have the answers, he was just in pain and annoyed. "I don't know the damn spell to fix it...I don't even know if I have my magic here." He groaned. "Sorry, I'm being really bitchy right now."

[ofcelestialstories]

.｡.:*☆ "I am sorry to hear that." Back in the old times, Gabe for sure would have used this chance to mess around a little. Like, even as an angel, they did not meet a blind man every day. But that was.... well, before. Before they had been broken.

"It was a sex on the beach." Well, there we go. A little teasing, at least. "But, do not worry. It did taste like shit, anyway."

@ofcelestialstories [Random Starter]

"Actually, I am blind so yeah, that's probably why I did bump into you." Matthew chuckled, giving the other a nod. "It's all good though, I mean, it happens. I can replace your drink, um, whatever it was."

[ofcelestialstories]

.｡.:*☆ "So, Hell is really all eternal fire and suffering then?" Maybe Jean should be more shocked to hear the other seemed to be an actual demon. But she did not. Not anymore. Not after coming back from the dead. Plus, with being thrown around into different worlds, she could rarely doubt things like this being possible, at the end of the day.

"I am sure winter is going to end soon enough again, anyway. It is not getting that could near the ocean, usually. I mean, from what I have heard, at least."

@ofcelestialstories [Random Starter]

"I think my body is used to being in Hell, because this cold weather has been affecting me lately." Alastor admitted with a shake of his head. "I don't know if I am a big fan of it, but when I keep wearing sweaters, I just get fucking hot all over again." He groaned. "I'm going through it."

[ofcelestialstories]

.｡.:*☆ "Sure I can." Smiling down at Pike, Scanlan pulled a small guitar from his bag. He'd bought it a while ago here in Ivy Cove, and while his band members laughed about it, in his opinion it was a decent instrument.

"Am I allowed to perform something naughty? Or would that distract you too much from your sketching?" He wiggled his eyebrows, alreaedy starting to play a few tunes.

@ofcelestialstories (Pike & Scanlan)

Pike was sketching away, a design for a home if she could ever save up enough money to build the ideal one for herself and her friends. It was in essence the mansion in white stone, but more modernized. She had invited Scanlan to just enjoy the day with her at the park. "Can you play me a song?" She questioned glancing over at him, "I know you had to have brought something with you to preform with." She rested her head in her hand, eyes looking toward the other lovingly.

@ivypapercutsxo || Elena & Damon

.｡.:*☆  Elena had been so lost in writing - trying to make sense of her diary, of her dreams -  she had not even realized things falling off the table she was sitting at. Because those dreams were eating her up lately. Because she felt there was more behind them than just her trying to adapt to her new life.

Only now she saw her notes scattered on the ground, pages she had ripped out out of sheer frustartion earlier. “Oh no….. nonononono!” Jumping up, Elena tried to catch them, the wind playing against her whirling the paper around, right down in front of a stranger’s feet. “Hey! Could you catch that for me! Please, I do need it!”

"i'm a damsel, i'm in distress, i can handle this." (From Pike to Anyone)

.｡.:*☆ "Well, if you say so?" Wednesday cocked a brow as she watched the other with arms folded in front of her chest, but was not really doing anything else to help. After all, Pike was a stranger. So, as long as she was not in danger to get killed....

"But do not forget to scream in case your ability of handling this is going to change at some point."

[ofcelestialstories]

.｡.:*☆ "Men usually only flee from bars if they have a good reason." And Scanlan knew what he was talking about here. After all, he had been one of those men more than once in the past. Even when the things that had happened were not his fault, most of the time. In his opinion, at least.

"Anyway, I am glad he is gone. He was a dick." He shrugged and gave Dorian a grin. "In fact, I am surprised he ended up not getting himself a black eye or two."

@ofcelestialstories ||  what the hell just happened there ?  ❜ (from Scanlan)

"I can't possibly imagine what you mean. All I saw was a rather abrasive gentleman suddenly fleeing from the bar." Dorian raised a brow at the other as he took a sip of his drink, a smirk on his lips. The man had decided to flirt with him and didn't accept no gracefully, Dorian having been increasingly uncomfortable before he'd made his very clear threats that chased the man from the premises. "But, your concern is most appreciated."

[ofcelestialstories]

.｡.:*☆ "He is just protective, Al." Smiling, Jasmine placed a hand on the tiger's back, signaling Rajah that it was alright. More than alright, actually. She had not expected to see Al anytime soon again, after all.

"Some of the people showing up here do not know how to behave sometimes. And we do not really need any kind of trouble." A pause before Jasmine moved to hug Aladdin. "I am good, really. How are you?"

"Aw, come on. He still doesn't like me?" Aladdin chuckled, giving the other a soft smile. "Yeah, it's me. Wow. I am so happy to see you, Jaz. I never thought I would, at least not for a while." This city was so confusing for him, he was used to his one street and the few surrounding. Not a whole city with folks who thought he was a Disney character. Whatever that meant. "How are you?"

[ofcelestialstories]

.｡.:*☆ So many things were exploding in front of his inner eye in this very moment. Him and Sam clinging to each other after Mordor had been falling. Both of them thinking they would never return home again. Him waking up after, in Elrond's house. Seeing Sam again. Knowing Sam was okay. And then breaking Sam's heart when deciding to leave Middle Earth behind. But Frodo knew - was hoping - Sam would have a happy life regardless. And then... well, then Frodo had been waking up in this city. And ran into Sam again after expecting to never see the other again.

Not knowing what to say, his throat tight, Frodo eventually just hugged him. Maybe a little too tight. Because this was Sam. His Sam.

"Do you think... I mean, could we see that as our second chance, maybe? The two of us.... being here in this place, and all of that?"

sam’s breath hitched, and for a moment, he just stood there, as if he couldn’t quite believe what he’d heard. “well… i reckon that’s more than i ever hoped to hear,” he said softly, his eyes glistening with something he tried to blink away. he glanced down at his hands, fiddling nervously with the hem of his coat before looking back up at frodo with a small, earnest smile. “i know things haven’t been easy. and i know you think… maybe you’re not the same. but i’ve seen every part of yout journey, frodo. i’ve walked it beside you. and I wouldn’t change a single thing about who you are. except take away the pain if i could.” his hand hovered for a second, then gently rested over frodo’s, careful but firm. “i mean it. i’m here. and i’m not going anywhere, not while i still draw breath.”
