Eclipse - Villain Verse thread for icangiveyouanything

@icangiveyouanything

The interviews had been a perfect start to getting his messages across to the world. People liked him, as much as it felt strange to admit to himself. Audiences were receptive to what he had to say as he answered questions. Of course, he had to pretend he was just as confused as everyone else when it came to his miraculous recovery from the long coma. Not everyone could know the truth about how he was given this second chance to save them all from themselves.

Not yet anyway.

It was a quiet day for the time being. He sat on his balcony, a small smile on his face as he watched the sunset with a cup of hot chocolate in his hands. But then he felt a familiar presence in the air, and the smile grew just a bit wider.

"I think we have an old friend visiting, Misty."

"Meee..."

"Mr. Reinhart?" Sebastián greeted, poking his head through the door with a cup of coffee in his hand. It wasn't every day that he visited the FBI, but it always seemed to be memorable... Perhaps today wouldn't be the exception.

"I'm Sebastián Atehortúa, the Skadden lawyer who first came across the russian mob involvement with our mayor... I was told to come find you."

Nara's hand instinctively goes to her sword, fingers carefully wrapping around the scabbard, thumb poised to flick the blade from it's sheath in a moment's notice.

"You would be wise not to pick a fight with me." She couldn't get a proper reading on this man, but that only makes her more wary.

The girl was drinking some soda while taking a small break in her own company ; Shiemi did not hear when the other approached. And almost made the poor girl jump back. " O-OH ! I'm sorry I didn't hear you ! " Shiemi says with an apologetic tone.

" the CARD she received from black swan was one thing, though to see this man spinning the wheels of the film was a whole different experience. however, she couldn't say it was entirely pleasant. she was CURIOUS, of course, what those eyes of his see when he looked at the world around him. was everything simply a giant set ready to be filmed ?

"Alright, alright. I'm here," Matt greeted, walking into the rush with rushed steps, messy hair and his breathing a littly erratic from having rushed all the way here.

"What was it so urgent that I had to get out of class for, huh? I hope you remember that the Navy won't pay for my studies anymore if I start failing my classes..."

@cuulprit // based on this (8th bullet point & included below) “it´s my cousin´s wedding and seeing all these happy couples is killing me and all i can think about is how this was almost us” AU (bonus: “i know that it’s two in the morning and i’m dressed really formally and a little (a lot) bit drunk but i couldn’t stop thinking about you after my grandma asked how you were doing also can i come in it’s freezing out here”)

His phone screen showed multiple calls, and her voice mailbox confirmed it was full. Not one more message fit. Not even the last one where he confessed he missed her (the first few messages were a very long-winded recap of his cousin's wedding). Had he been sober, Gabriel would've understood why she didn't answer. It was for the best, really. But, after a few drinks, his brain simplified. Missed her, need to see her.

One knock after the other, the message was clear. Though, it seemed drinking provided him an unprecedented amount of determination. Gabriel's knocks began losing strength, each time getting softer. "Please open the door, it's so freaking cold. I'll shut up, won't say anything about how much I missed you today."

Ugh. This sucks.

When she'd first heard about the trip, Neptune had thought maybe it wouldn't be so bad. A visit to a city full of museums... well, it's not really her thing, but she can think of places that'd be a lot worse, so. Take what you can get, right?

But through some stroke of bad luck, both Venus and Jupiter ended up sick. So now here she is, stuck on her own with a bunch of shitty teachers, boring classmates, and Jesus somehow shoehorned into every conversation. Great.

At the very least, having a moment to herself like this is a blessing. ...She hopes Venus and Jupiter are doing okay. It's their own fault for working so hard lately, but. Still.

Neptune had decided to sit down for a drink, but the cafe she's found herself in is surprisingly busy. Suppressing the urge to sigh, and holding back a cough tickling her throat, she eventually chooses a random table with only one other occupant in the back.

"Hey. Mind if I sit here?"

WITH: @junebughastings LOCATION: her company

The temp agency gave him all sorts of random tasks and for the most part, Ethan preferred those that fell more in line with blue collar work than white collar work. But today was one of the rare exceptions where he stepped into an office building, told that there was a shortage of staff for the week and they needed him to fill in. Ironically, because he had a business degree as a compromise with his parents, this might actually be something that came more naturally to him than being a mechanic. Dressed somewhat more professionally than usual, he waited to speak with a Ms. Juniper Hastings.

          " be real with me for a second . . - were you ever even planning to tell me about this ? " the female asks, a piercing stare headed the other's way. " it was one thing to find out about what you did - but to hear it from another person entirely ?

Frankly: Vash hadn't gone through all that life has to grant. Thus, whenever a bar has a long menu, chockful of words he hadn't seen, sentences he couldn't pronounce, his tongue felt knotted. Most taverns had two options of beverage, tinted tap and a potent beer that burned his throat, and one offering of food... sandwiches. Sandwiches were a first choice most times, Vash able to stack his ceiling-high with a pocketful of coins in spite. But... none of these names had -sub or -wich in the title.

A sluggish hand hovered just above a shoulder, one pace ahead of him -- not quite touching, not quite not, but enough to allude to his presence... cough cough, in case the hand wasn't enough.

“Ex-- excuse me,” a smile that didn't go to his ears, a smile haphazardly thrown on, tilted in all the wrong ways but innocently so, mistakenly so. “Can you... help me order? I'm sorry, I've just -- never been to a city this large before.” There were reasons for thus, but Vash needn't indulge them. “I can make out the names, but I ... don't know what they are. Or, well... I can't make out the names, and that's why I'm - sorry.”

Head ducked, Vash prepared himself to blindly ask for this, that.

“I... can probably figure it out, myself. Just thought I'd ask.”

“You know, you seem to know a lot about the Shogun — did yooou... serve under her army? I've lived in Inazuma all my life, and I only really know footnotes of what she's done! You know, uh, pre-Decree.”

Pointless to mention: Yoimiya was present for such events. Knew of the nitty-gritty, the ugly most of all. He carried the cadence of Yae Miko, teasing yet not unkind... so, only somewhat like Miss Miko. Maybe it was the hair, rotund and fluffy like a squirrel's tail, the all-knowing posture... either way, Yoimiya felt the same degree of trust she did when in the shared space as Yae Miko, a sort of trust that manifested within moments but felt as if it had began years, centuries prior -- so, that was enough for her.

“You'd more-so fit in with that fluffy General, though! Maybe you guys'd make good friends!”

It had not gone unnoticed that Shadowheart had grown more distant with those in camp, and well Sigyn couldn't blame her. Sigyn knew she was going through so much, but wasn't quite sure how to help. She had hoped with time that the half-elf would come back around, but something about her still worried Sigyn, so the blonde moved to take a seat beside her at the other woman's tent. "Hey. . ." She says quietly, searching her brain for the right words. "I just want you to know. . . If you wanna talk, I'll listen."

"Sora?" Aqua echoed, trying to get his attention. He seemed distracted from training. She wasn't sure if it was something more serious or if he simply need water and something to eat. "I haven't been pushing you too hard, have I?"
