// int. ashton's cell, unknown room - day. 8th april. @sadavang

Ashton felt the cold steel locked around his wrists, heavy metal around his ankles as well and the moment his was left alone in the cold dark room, he tugged at the restraints, feeling the resistance from behind him to the wall, enough slack to move around the room. Instincts kicked in, Ash having been in situations like this more than he wished he had, and eyes darted around trying to find something, anything he could use, have leverage, anything to get out. But there wasn't a desperation to his subtle actions yet, knowing he needed to bide his time, Sada can't be far away once Devan left the room, likely to call for her here.

Instead, he simply stood in place, feet grounded as his hands by his side tried to touch the rim of the chain locks, immediately dropping any form of action the moment he could hear feet shuffling outside the door. a turn of a few locks, a swing of the door, and ding dong the bitch is here. Ashton only looked up to challenge her gaze straight once, jaw clenched and deep blues glaring coldly to the woman now stood in front of him. "..I find it hard to believe you had these just lying around all this time."

//open. int. atrium common area - day. 27th april.

While Hope has been to the Wexley, she hasn't really been to the Wexley. Mostly coming by to visit specific floors to Beau, to Val, and that's it. But it was still crazy to see what the building has been through. Firstly, what the fuck happened at the front entrance?? Maybe the less questions she asked, the better, Dante and Santi warned her to keep a low profile, and while she usually doesn't take anyone's orders, she trusted their judgement.

Good! She can instead focus on the beauty of a garden up top and the studio assigned to her had so much space she could make her own little indoor garden with that lovely full length window for sun. Her mind was already turning with excitement because for once.. they weren't on the go anymore, Beau was here, Val was here, Santi found his love, Dante found his daughter. Something in Hope felt like she could just.. pause for a moment. Well, other than the fucking tyranny they walked in on. Hope really doesn't do well with authority. And so they were right in requesting her to stay quiet. They didn't say anything about not exploring the building though.

In her time in quarantine she had started planning out the extra room in her place to start growing even more plants, excitedly yapping with Beau the first chance she got, drafting out plans for the stuff they could grow. "Oh- hi!" She spoke to the next person that came by while she was roaming around the common area, "do you know if there are any spare containers? Buckets, pails, pots, beer bottles, ..anything actually. My plants are gettin' some cabin fever."

@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.

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.

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. int. atrium laundry clotheslines - day. 4th may or later.

If he stayed in his apartment any longer, he might just go crazy. While the kindness of friends kept him company, Ash has essentially been isolated in singular locations for almost an entire month. But he didn't have it in him to disobey doctor's orders on his ankle. The worst case scenario if he didn't let it heal right was that he could never walk or run again, and that thought sickened him to a very dark point. If he became rendered useless, redundant, then what's the point? He combated the thoughts through minor work, chores, goals, anything that felt productive, or really, just to feel human again. Showers, cleaning his apartment, and today, doing laundry.

It was hard to dry anything in his own apartment and he'd been somewhat updated on the changes already implemented in the building while he was gone, including a clothesline. And when Ruth brought him a crutch that the scout team actually managed to procure, it seemed like as good a time as any to face the world past his door again. Crutch in one hand, basket of clean damp clothes in the other, Ashton sucked in a breath and headed down. He rather not be seen by others, not this weak and broken, but he was curious of the shifts in the atrium, and desperate to move, so he tried to stay unnoticeable, small, invisible. It takes him slowed, cautious movements to hang what he had, mumbling to himself or anyone else in the vicinity, "so much changed.. Will these even dry here?"

//open. ext. central park - day. 1st may 2026.

Hope for once was made to dress up nicely in a sundress, exchanging out her usual wears of oversized shirts and farmwear that she's oh so carefully cultivated over the years. Basically whatever that was easy to wash. But it was a fancy occasion, as fancy as they could make it in these times, so Hope had to put in the effort to at least feel pretty again for once. She's been covered in soil and dirt for too much, even more so than when she worked at the Botanic Garden, that was manicured compared to this.

And of course, the first thing that catches her eye after the entire shebang of the important part of a wedding, the next most important part of the wedding is the food! Even more so when she's had a hand in growing the food herself. Hope glowed over the prepared food, grinning proudly as a person joined her in admiring the meal, "ooooh doesn't it look so delicious? I'm so happy with the way the fruits and veggies turn out, it was a temperamental batch to be honest."

@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.
