roll of her eyes , how was @beaniestm's voice worse than nails against chalkboard ? ❛ do you ever listen to yourself or do you just enjoy making all of us suffer ? ❜ beanies wasn't exactly a job anyone wanted , but it paid the bills ( barely ). hearing emma complain about singing and tips? it was as routine as the loser that came in to flirt with her. ❛ we get it, your life is miserable , don't drag the rest of us down with you. ❜

[evietales]

❛ it'll be fun , i promise ! ❜ camila's time on tour was short , a visit to ease the ache of being on her own. raising a family while billy chased his dreams. it wasn't something she resented him for , no her own dreams had come in the form of julia. ❛ and how can you say no to that face ? ❜ daughter is held on hip , beaming smile at @whitelace. ❛ we'll have you back before soundcheck. ❜

[evietales]

rested on back , view is of hotel ceiling. she's bored and she knows her leash is tight. @b4didea has made sure of that. no escape from the room saw her like a wild animal , pacing a path back and forth from entry door to middle of room only just recently quit. there's a flicker of blue hues to his figure now , exasperated sigh falling from her lips.

❛ i'm going to die of boredom , and it's going to be all your fucking fault. ❜ her words are pointed like a dagger right at him , bodyguard a thorn in her side since he was hired. she had successfully managed to get rid of others , but rip ? he was just as stubborn as her and it was proving a problem. something she was going to make known to everyone.

[evietales]

how long had it been ? days of the six , long past. that meant time with @whitelace too. when julia had emailed about the interview , it was like everything had returned to the surface. all the messes she had left behind , the people she had hurt. those were things daisy still had to answer for.

❛ to be honest , i didn't think i'd get this far. ❜ she laughs it off , voice still holds that charm. ❛ i didn't think you'd show up. ❜

[evietales]

it's lush , comfortable. even her room serves as a reminder that @coldexile and herself are from two very different worlds. she's stretched out on the bed , not mindful of boots. it's not something vi has ever had to be , so it's not something that crosses her mind. ❛ not even powder is this good. ❜ hues are on map constructed on the floor , words meant as compliment.

[evietales]

as soon as press interview is over , click of heels meets marble floor. she's fleeing from the crowd , flash of cameras and journalists with questions are always overwhelming. she doesn't give @coldexile a chance to catch up , traces of their fight the night before still lingers in memories. daisy had played to the cameras , gushed over her marriage and her husband. how returning back married was the best decision , how in love they were. it's all lies , and the only two that know it are her and cyrus.

❛ get the fuck away. ❜ she doesn't give him a chance , puts the blame on him. even though it had been her , it was always her. cyrus was kind , he was gentle. he was everything she didn't deserve , so daisy found ways to ruin it. and yet , no matter how hard she tried ? how hard she pushed him away ? he stayed.

[evietales]

flashlight held tightly in hand , steps carefully placed. the group spilt up , naturally she was with @espres0s. ❛ did you hear that ? ❜ voice given in hushed whisper , eyes darting to fred's figure. whatever it had been , it sounded close.

[evietales]

being underground , it makes her feel caged with no escape. annie is no fool to the way eyes stay lingering on her here in thirteen , just like they had at home. she is the poor , broken mad woman. seen as something weak and fragile. someone to avoid , to pretend as she didn't exist. was that why her schedule was free of tasks , unlike others ? everyone was given a job to do , and she remained here idly behind. waiting , like she was useless.

she only knows @warspun as a career , seen him from time to time during her own trips to the capitol. she had memorized all their faces. other victors , just like her. they're both outsiders here , for different reasons. food tray in hand , she's unsure of where else to go. easier to sit with him, than with those that eyes wont stop following her.

[evietales]

❛ how much do you want to hear ? ❜ the real question , was how much daisy was willing to tell. it wasn't her image , wasn't billy's that she worried about protecting. no , instead it was hurting julia. when everything came to light , there was no turning back. @mecwmellc was owed the truth , by everyone.

[evietales]

❛ what are you waiting for ? ❜ she nudges him , giving knowing look. @bimother and herself had been friends for far too long , to not know what that look meant. ❛ it's like your whole face lights up when you talk about her. so when are you going to ask her , huh ? ❜ the cases they had? they could totally wait. after all , this was love they were talking about.

[evietales]

coming home ? that had never been part of the plan. once she had gotten the hell out of here , she had never planned on returning. there was nothing left for her back at the ranch. nothing but memories that did nothing for her. time and people ? beth had let all of those things go. yeah , that was what she told herself. and it was easy to believe , until eyes set on @b4didea. in the blink of a moment , they were young again. things were simple , the world was easier. she hadn't let him go, hadn't pushed him away.

❛ don't look at me like that. ❜ she's leaned against the barn , cigarette held between thin fingers, bottle of alcohol in the other. words spoken like he's the problem , like she wasn't the one that sought him out. still knew the schedule like she had never left. ❛ you don't get to judge me , rip wheeler. ❜

[evietales]

❛ it didn't start this way. ❜ things used to be simple , and there was a part of her that missed it that way. ❛ the first couple of times? they were just weirdos in masks. ❜ and then suddenly , they weren't. monsters ? they were real. not just made up tales from the locals to spook kids. ❛ and now that i know that they're out there ? i just can't stop. ❜ no , to stop would be to pretend none of it existed. that life was ordinary , like there weren't people who needed help.

glossed lips give @hellvive a smile , one that dares him to underestimate her. ❛ so we can work on this together , or you can watch. either way , i'm not leaving until this is over. ❜

[evietales]

boots meet the front porch , sound of heels clicking against them. she's out of place at the place she should belong. not that it had ever felt much like a home , at least not for her. too many ghosts , too many memories that lingered in it's walls. beth sits , taking in sight of ranch at night. cigarette is lit and brought to cherry stained lips , not acknowledging @warspun at first. she knows he's there , has been from the moment she pulled into drive way. finally she breaks the silence , sure the darkness conceals the roll of eyes with her words. ❛ what ? waitin' up till i get home ? not a little girl anymore , lee. don't need you treatin' me like one. ❜

[evietales]

their shared badges , were not to be of celebration. @actiongrrl , a survivor just like her. placed on a pedestal , at the cost of people they loved. it's a moment of pause , before a smile is etched on sienna's features. does sam wear the guilt of living , just like herself ? that is the question she wants to ask. to know , she isn't alone.

instead all that comes out is a greeting. ❛ i hate these things , too many people. ❜ she laughs it off , but it's the truth. too many eyes on her , too many that are too interested in the wrong parts of her story.

[evietales]

it isn't that she's not happy , no jester has found a home with the mighty nein. but it didn't stop her from missing the home in nicrodranas. @coldexile had brought pieces of it to her in the shape of her room in the tower. it was like caleb understood , maybe better than anyone else. all the little details he had managed to get right , like had listened to every word of her stories. not missed a single minute of everything she showed them when they had visited her home.

steaming mug held in hand , one now offered out to him. jester knows he's lost in books , lost in thought. she's memorized the way his forehead wrinkles just a little when so. but it doesn't stop her from sitting next to him , almost too close to try and peek at book. ❛ what are you reading cayleb ? i bet it's totally , probably something boring. ❜

[evietales]

❛ it's fine , we're fine. just be cool ! ❜ yeah , it's @bykori that deserves those words. it isn't herself , that's totally freaking out. it wasn't like what happened was exactly their faults. it was just a prank, that's all. a harmless , fun prank. and hey , weren't they all better off now ? without max running around bullying everyone ( and dirtying dreams ) , the world felt like an entire different place.
