// open. int. the w bar - night. 1st april

Despite Ash having no affinity with parties, the Wexley however loves them. Having avoided as many as he could in his years here, as many as his friends would let him anyways, guess it's much harder to avoid them once you're actually stuck in the building with literally nowhere to go. And it felt rude to not be here when it's a celebration for someone's birthday, especially Mr Wexley's. He knows he's not fun at parties and didn't want to bring it down for anyone. So instead, he found himself offering Charlie his help, not wanting her working any harder than she already is with not many people knowing of her situation, now standing behind the bar serving people drinks and watching the party go by from the sidelines.

Perhaps there was something about seeing families, friends, lovers, reunited since Spring hit, now altogether in one place here with a heartfelt warmth that filled the room, that an unfounded weight sank in his chest. Or perhaps it's the barrier of a bar counter and physical separation that made it more apparent of what he avoided feeling, but damn, he didn't like admitting that he felt lonely for the first time in a long time, and there was a guilt in feeling that, considering how lucky he's been. Ash was leaning back against the wall behind the bar, lost in his thoughts with a beer in his hand (knowing he's not in the right headspace for anything stronger) as his eyes glazed over the scenes passing by him at the bar and atrium until he realized someone had come up to him while he was spacing out, "-sorry, what can I get you?"

@themosthatedbeingg needs Holiday Cheer!

If Lucifer had thought, for even a moment, that his brother did not love him, then his doubts were completely unfounded.

Carefully, his smile unwavering, Yeshua slipped into the Angel's workshop. In his hand, a small box wrapped in gold ribbon. He was quiet, careful with every step as he made his way to the desk.

Inside the delicate box was a pair of hand carved ducks, made from sandalwood and painted with delicate features. One was brown, with a heart painted on the chest and umber-colored hair, and the other was pearl-white with blonde hair and extra wings.

With them, a note.

Thank you for giving me a chance. I love you, brother. Merry Christmas, Yeshua.

deadlights ft. @nightreststarters

Rami sat idly as he listened to the conversation next to him, the attempts at flirting not coming across well. After a second he was fishing out his phone, "Should I call 911 cause I can't believe how badly you crashed and burned." he couldn't help but tease with a laugh. Not that his efforts had been any better. "Why do I feel like we're getting worse at this?"

[dauntlesschampions]

in hindsight he could've kept down the self-satisfied tone in his voice, but he just can't help when it slips out-- “Need my expertise?”

poppies ft. @rxbysxllivan

"Those are gorgeous!" Violet exclaimed noticing the bouquet Ruby had in hand. It had been a great day of exploring more of what Nightrest had to offer. Vi was in search of a space for an art studio. Figured she could settle some roots here and have it pan out better than her last attempt. "Thanks again for today! I definitely owe you a milkshake after this!" she smiled, feeling like it'd be the perfect way to end the day.

who: open!! | @nightreststarters

Chloe stepped out for a moment to get some fresh air, less anxious when she realized a lot of people had the same idea. She settled against the wall letting the cool air relax her. If she admitted it to herself the night wasn't too bad and she probably needed this night out more than she'd say aloud. The sight of a familiar figure walking past made her smile, "Wow, I'm loving the outfit! I almost didn't recognize you!" she stated equal parts teasing and genuine.

where: mama's diner

who: @brookedavcnport

Jason loved his family as much as any other person, but the one thing he couldn't stand was his brothers' unexpected visits. He did the best he could with their dad and they had found a nice routine. Jason worked nights long enough that when he came home he was helping his father from whatever drunken mistake he'd made. The eldest of the trio had decided to drop in and Jason quickly found solace in Mama's. He worked on his burger, lifting the shake as someone approached. "Not in the mood Brooke." he prefaced before she even spoke.

//open. ext. rooftop garden - day.

Ashton in the past few years had always been an occasional visitor to the roof, balloting for his own plot in order the help conduct some experiments on root vegetables. Sometimes he'd just go up there enjoy the sun, read a book, but the scenery didn't really make for a pretty backdrop anymore. He tensed and turned hearing footsteps that joined him. "Here to take in the view?" Or maybe wallow in their self pity together.

@dracoiaboli followed you! (on main)

Well.

Of the many things he had seen since arriving in hell, perhaps this was the most perplexing.

The Sins and Goetia, most he knew by name, had all been a pleasant familiarity to Yeshua- old friends he had long since hoped to see again, but Satan had always been a distant figure.

His whole life, Yeshua had been told this towering demon would be his enemy. his Adversary. But looking upon the towering demon now, he felt no hatred. In his heart Yeshua could only feel something far more... somber.

"Do you remember me?"

where: echo beach

who: @irisfms

Rami looked down at his watch once more before scanning the beach for Iris. He didn't think she'd stand him up given it was her choice of time and place. Not to say he didn't deserve it given everything but he was eager to apologize, even if he couldn't fully explain. When he noticed her arrival he made his way over to her, stopping only steps away, "I didn't think you'd show," he blurted without thinking before shaking his head. "You look amazing, of course." She always did.

[dauntlesschampions]

it's really not often that alyssa's caught so... off kilter. maybe it's just stress, or the subject matter, but whatever it is she's focused on it's clearly got the upper hand.

"No,  that  can't  be  right."

daily dose ft. @kaylinwilliams

Violet excused herself as she stepped outside to answer the phone. She'd ignored her mother's calls for the last few days knowing it would entail the same topics as before. That she and Ellie were making a mistake, that they should return and stop chasing their father's memory. "Well, I'm kind of in a hurry so uh— Happy Mother's Day." she stated before hanging up, stepping back, and settling into the seat opposite Kaylin. "So where were we?" she smiled lightly.
