Muse: Anya Calwyn (Original Character).

Verse: Undetermined.

Open to: all mutuals.

Pulling a knife from her pocket, Anya presses it against the other’s throat, effectively pinning them against the wall with a speed and accuracy other fourteen year old girls couldn’t access. Her gaze shifts between theirs and the small bag that held everything she’d ever owned, a bag she thought she had hidden well enough for her to sleep without other desperate hands grabbing for it. Heat already begins to build beneath her skin and she resists the urge to wrench her hands back.

“That’s mine. I want it back or I’ll slit your fucking throat.”

Muse: Hela Lokadottir (MCU).

Verse: undetermined.

Open to: all mutuals.

Emerald eyes stay fixed on the screen depicting the ruin of a city called New York, a green-and-gold clad god with all too familiar features…

“Wait,” she mutters, only half-addressing the nearest mortal. “When did this take place?”

Muse: Nadia Orlova (The Great).

Verse: undetermined.

Open to: all mutuals.

Little legs propel her forward at a rather impressive speed for someone so small, until they don’t. A still slightly unsteady gait tips the child’s weight a little too far forward. Her hands fly out before her, but with the momentum behind the movement, little could keep her nose from colliding with the floor.

The fall doesn’t seem to do too much damage. When she lifts her head, she looks okay, but the shrill cry that sounds a second later speaks of pain and fear that one cannot see.

Verse: undetermined.

Wolf takes a tomato in one large hand and holds it out towards the other.

“It doesn’t look like much, but it’s the best tomato you’ll ever taste. I promise.”

Muse: Moselle (Original Character).

Verse: undetermined.

Open to: all mutuals.
