open: m/f/nb based: x t.alk to m.e (2023)- our muses are taking part in a ritual to invite a spirit inside their body for a short period of time. my muse went first and the spirit she invoked is a little out of pocket... who: devyn de silva, she/her, 21, pickpocket pinterest

"alright... alright, fine, i'm ready! start the timer." nervous jitters ignited in her stomach the second she grasped the ceramic coated hand, taking a deep breath to center herself and quiet her giggles before uttering the words that would kickstart the ritual. "talk to me," she murmured, voice wavering before she cleared her throat. "i let you in."

“you should see the other guy, am i right?” how she was able to keep her dry sense of humor after the harrowing events of the night before, devyn couldn’t be certain. that final battle against the entity plaguing her dreams had completely exhausted her ability to feel anything but vaguely numb, unable to smile, or cry, or even laugh. “i still came out in one piece— mostly. i consider that a win in my book.”

“you talk in your sleep. like, a lot. did you know that? probably not... it’s kinda weird.” she’d waited a few seconds after she saw him first open his eyes to let him know that bit of trivia, wrinkling her nose in amusement as she remembered the mumbled monologues. “i couldn’t really understand most of it... something about a briefcase?”

open: m/f/nb plot: x / there have been a recent string of murders in town, with the killer copying the style of devyn’s father (an infamous serial killer who’s been in jail for a decade). naturally, most people think devyn is to blame, but she has nothing to do with it. despite the murders, someone decided to throw a house party with devyn and your muse in attendance. who: devyn de silva, she/her, 20, student/thief

from the second she set foot in the near stranger’s home, devyn knew she’d made a mistake. all she wanted was one night of normalcy, just a few hours to forget her past and escape the judgmental stares and harsh whispers of the stuffy old folks in town. turns out, people her age were just as critical as everyone else. making a break from the raucous merriment taking place on the ground floor, devyn slunk away to the basement for more refreshments (and some much needed alone time). just as she’d reached the fridge, the sound of footsteps heading down the stairs drew her attention, eyes narrowing as she prepared herself for yet more presumptuous remarks and suspicious glances. “what are you doing following the freak down into the basement?” her go-to defense mechanism was to insult herself before anyone else had the chance to, therefor stripping their critiques of all power. “that’s horror movie 101— don’t go anywhere alone, and definitely don’t go in the basement.” despite the recent murders that had shaken up their small town, devyn wasn’t scared. living through her father’s reign of terror had hardened her nerves, ridding her of the ability to feel fear. “haven’t you heard? i’m supposedly  to blame for all this slasher s.hit. guess you never got the memo...”

open: m/f/nb based: devyn’s father was a serial killer and your muse’s sibling/parent/friend/child was one of his victims so they’re taking out their anger on her since her dad’s in prison now who: devyn de silva, she/her, 20, student/thief *made using legacy text editor, let me know if you need me to repost using beta!!

“what the f.uck is your problem? what’d i ever do to you?” it wasn’t like devyn asked to be born into the family she was. if she could’ve chosen to have a different father, clearly she would’ve. devyn was just as much of a victim as this person’s deceased loved one— ok, maybe not to that extent, considering she was still alive and kicking, but was that really that much better than death, considering she spent everyday tormented by both the survivors of her father’s atrocities and strangers alike? “believe me, if i could afford it, i’d get the h.ell out of town and you’d never have to see me again. can’t you just do what my mom does, and pretend i don’t exist?”

"you're so cool, and i'm a waste of space— you're so cool, and i don't understand it... you're so cool, and i've never been cool."

“ is the devyn de silva giving me, daemon baudelaire, a compliment ? ”  earned her a smug, boyish smirk — doesn’t minimize it either.  “ i think you’re pretty cool ... cool enough. y’know, only cool people come check out me and my band. we’ve got a gig at some bar, you should come. ”
