clearly his attempt at a joke had either backfired greatly, or he'd definitely manage to misjudge just what he was dealing with, enough that he held one hand up as he let out a sheepish laugh. "easy, i'm not looking to start anything with you. just making an observation, can't remember the last time i saw somebody carrying one of those." which was nice in a way, reminding him of home - and bitter in the other way, still because it reminded him of home. "i'm sure you know how to handle it well, but still try and be careful, yeah?"

"careful, i could just be trigger happy." vesta pointed out, arms crossing as she turned back towards him. okay, they really needed to work on being situationally aware, because this guy being able to sneak up on them, already put them in a foul mood. her eyes narrowed as she faced him. "weird question to ask a stranger with a gun. maybe i was out here looking for some target practice, you know any volunteers?"

will spent enough time here that not only did he have no place to talk about one of the doctors spending too much time here, but he could also figure out just which ones were the guiltiest in that aspect. "it's alright, i've got no room to talk on that. was here for what felt like hours dealing with another one of our favorites," he explained, knowing charlotte would know exactly what he meant. "someone brought in their "friend" trying to get them diagnosed with amnesia."

"well some days it's kind of like i live here, darlin'." charlotte said with a sigh, shaking her head. not like it was a bad thing. she loved her job. practically lived for it more than she lived for little else. "but, if anyone asks, yes. however, if you want the truth, i had an early appointment with a patient and wound up working a bit too late so i wound up crashing in my office."

rosalie didn't want to accept that sort of answer, she didn't want to simply be okay with the fact that things weren't as they should be. "how are you so sure about that? this is a new place, and we don't even know how we got here or why things are the way that they are," she pointed out coldly, frowning and crossing her arms over her chest. "not to mention that our full coven isn't even here right now."

"Rosalie, it's good to see you." Bella replies, smiling softly -- she knew the vampire hadn't been very fond of her, at first. But eventually, the two of them came to bond with each other. Bella was grateful for that. She always wanted the Cullens to like her, all of them, and Rosalie had been the only exception. "I have." She sighs, her smile fading quickly. "I don't think there's anything we can really do about it, though."

rachel rolled her eyes at that, wondering what it was that managed to get her always as the target of people's stray attention or weird unfocus. with a huff, she cross her arms over her chest. "well, if you're going to be doing something like that, then you should look somewhere else. i don't need your eyes on me."

"Huh?" Anya asked, snapping out of listening to other people's thoughts. "Sorry! Was zoning out." She chuckled sheepishly.

kaydel didn't know what could have been a worse option - having him know exactly who she was and be everything that she was afraid he was? knowing that she had felt something strong for a person who had only been leading her on in hopes of killing her? or ... whatever this was right now, where he looked at her no different than a stranger. she took a step backwards, almost feeling like she'd been punched in the stomach. "oh," was all she could manage, feeling almost humiliated right now. she knew she was right, but the fact she couldn't even get him to admit they knew each other? "i can't believe you. you're so much worse than i ever could have imagined." / @gardenlead

continued from ; here.

"mike," she echoed, with a small nod of her head and trying to feel the way that it felt on her tongue. it was a common name, of course, but there was something that felt familiar about it. in a way that she could feel like she'd said it before, even though she didn't have any recollection of knowing someone with that name. "we have been friends before ... you and me?" she asked, trying to put together whatever thoughts were coming to her. "i don't know why i would not remember you." / @gardenlead

✧.* closed thread ; suki & sokka.

"sokka?" she asked, genuinely surprised to see him at the coffee shop, sitting up slightly where she was and trying to adjust herself. it wasn't that they were on bad terms after everything that had happened, but considering she was here with the hopes of meeting up with someone - and now her ex was here, that definitely threw a wrench into her plans. "what a weirdly coincidental surprise. did you ... want to sit down or something?" @lavendaers

[serpentiines]

✧.* closed thread ; mindy meeks-martin & cici cooper.

"you ever have one of those moments when you find out you've had so much chaos going on in your life that once it stops ... you realize that you really have nothing at all going on?" she said aloud, not caring too much about how else she might have been perceived. it was weirdly unsettling to mindy, that her life had gone from woodsboro killing fever and stab excitement to just going to actual classes. / @gardenlead

✧.* closed thread ; mindy meeks-martin & cassandra goth.

it felt like every couple of seconds she was checking her watch, as the night shift just dragged on and on without any end to it. when it was finally getting late enough that she could start closing up, that's when she heard the door chime. "sorry, the shop's closing in like ten minutes. feel free to browse until then, but won't be able to help you out much following that," she called out as she noticed the figure come through the door and linger around in the front of the store. / @empathiie

✧.* closed thread ; mindy meeks-martin & amber freeman.

"are you alright? last i remember, things had started to get pretty crazy back home, wasn't sure if any of that chaos managed to find it's way here as well," mindy asked as she greeted the other girl. considering how much tara seemed to like amber, mindy assumed she must've been pretty okay, tara seemed like a good judge of character. "have you been here long?" / @strawbrryrush

✧.* closed thread ; suki & katherine pierce.

"are you here for the class?" suki asked as she started rummaging through her bag to find the keys to the studio, noticing that someone was lingering outside the door. the self defense classes usually managed to bring in the regular clients, but considering how quickly word of mouth managed to travel around the city, she was never surprised to see new people. "it should be starting in about thirty minutes, if you are." / @hiddenpxpercuts

@saltedair said : i wasn't the one who refused to stop for directions. ( violet & khaze )

ask meme / not accepting

"well, there's your problem to start with - why are you trusting me to point you in the right direction when i've never even been over here before," khaze replied, looking back and forth between the couple of buildings that he swore looked exactly the same. "you're more than welcome to find your own directions, however."

looking at the assignment from the temp company, she made her way to the senator's office door, about to knock but the woman questioning her before she even had the chance to. it was a bit of a relief, to have the job that was outside the realm of saving the world or fighting in wars. "oh, i believe i'm your new temporary assistant. although i think they may have made a typo on the introductory packet," kaydel explained, as someone listed as "senator monsula" was just more likely that they copy and pasted her own name. "i'm kaydel. kaydel monsula," she responded as she stepped into the room, offering her hand in a greeting.

esmera & kaydel || @serpentiines

" is there something i can help you with?" esmera looked up from the desk she was leaning over, report forgotten in favor of figuring out who was entering the busy office. her assistant had quit two weeks ago, the back up assistant and interns trying to keep things in motion as the department went into the fall.

el looked up at the question, trying to think of some sort of fun thing she could suggest. "hm. have you thought about going and getting a snack? or taking a long nap? those are the things that i like to do when i have extra time to relax."

closed for @serpentiines ( eleven ! )

"apparently i have the afternoon off, and i don't know what to do now." joyce shrugged her shoulders. usually she was working all day so having a break was good. but this was unexpected, so she didn't quite know how to react to the time off.

[serpentiines]

"you're about to walk straight into direct sunlight, and you're going to regret that immediately when you burst into flames. unless, of course, the shine coming off of your skin is just the cheapest body glitter i've ever seen," rosalie replied, motioning to where she'd seen the bright shimmering glow that had come off of the blonde's skin. "so you're either completely unaware of what's going to happen to you, or you're the most self-destructive vampire i've ever seen."

" excuse you?" she's already thrashing at the hand on her arm, wrenching it out with as much strength as she possesses. she still hates when people grab her, remembering how she'd been turned, how riley had grabbed her arm as well. the other is a vampire, that much addie knows, but not one she recognizes and not one that seems to recognize her in turn. " i'm walking home."
