Questions For the Mun { I'm gonna answer these for movie Carlos! And below a cut because this got long, haha. }

1. What makes you the most emotional about your muse?

Already answered here! ^_^

2. What made you decide to write this muse?

I'm not sure it was one specific thing? I started writing Carlos in July of 2017, and I think it was just that he was my second favorite character in the Anderson films, and he was a prominent character in my favorite Resident Evil game (RE3) and I just gravitated toward him.

Carlos and Nemesis/Matt were the first ones I decided to write in July of 2017, and then I started Kaplan in May of 2018. After that, I added Luther, the White Queen, and I sometimes wrote Alice and Becky as guest muses depending on the threads going on. So Carlos and Matt/Nemmy started things off as far as me writing in the RE fandom, and they're really my favorite characters behind Alice, who's my fav. I wish I could write her, but she's just never a going to be a character I can write to my own standards, like I feel I get her character way wrong and I don't wanna do that to her, heh.

But yeah, I really feel like I just wanted to write in the fandom and Carlos was one of my favs so I went for it, heh. I also am a huge fan of his live action actor, Oded Fehr, who I will forever love from The Mummy/The Mummy Returns franchise, so I was inspired by Carlos' actor and his mannerisms, voice, etc. to write him as well.

3. If you could change one event in your muse’s life (in their main or canon verse), what would you change?

Already answered here! ^_^

4. If you could tell your muse one thing, what would you tell them?

Already answered here! ^_^

5. If you could give your muse one gift, what would you give them?

A hug, man. This guy's been through hell, and I feel like he needs a warm, Soft™ hug that can go on for as long as he likes. Back rubbing can also happen if that would be a comfort as well. =)

6. If you had to take one positive thing away from your muse, what would you take away?

Already answered here! ^_^

7. If you could “borrow” one aspect of your muse and apply it to yourself or your own life, what would you borrow?

Can I borrow some of his physical strength/durability? Because I'm a horribly arthritic bitch with chronic fatigue and I would give anything to be able to endure the way Carlos does in everyday situations, heh.

8. Do you genuinely want your muse to be happy? What do you think would make them most happy in life?

I do! Of course! He deserves to be happy, he's a great guy and he does so much for others to help them deal with traumas, survive the next day, even just physically get from point A to point B. He does so much and he deserves to get some of that back.

I think having a partner in life who is willing to follow him (not literally, philosophically) in his calling to be a protector and a shield between innocent people and the evils of the world... that would make him happy. I'm not saying Carlos wouldn't necessarily want to get married or having children, but he's not settling down until his old-ass body makes him do it years from now, heh. He's a guy who's gotta keep doing things, gotta keep putting himself in harm's way. Not because he wants the danger, injury, potential death, etc., but because he knows what war and catastrophes can do to people and he wants to be one of the ones who helps alleviate that, or at least who helps people through it. He wants to be that shield that protects, that weapon that attacks first while everyone else stays back, and that person who runs toward danger so others don't have to. He's just that kind of person. So I think if he can really bond with someone and have them by his side while he's doing that kind of work, that would be his ideal life.

9. Do you enjoy putting your muse through angst? What do you think would break their heart the most?

I doooo, but that's not specific to Carlos, I'm just an angst whore, heh. I tend to really like putting my muses in horrible situations. Having said that, I love doing that and then seeing them through to the other side for some amount of peace/resolution/happy ending... ish. XD

As far as what would break their heart... I mean, he was pretty heartbroken over the way Alice left him after Apocalypse. And I totally understand why she did, I'm not blaming her or anything, but from his point of view, after they had gotten very close, opened up to each other, and even developed a romantic/sexual relationship... she left without even saying goodbye. Without telling him why. It made him feel like he really hadn't meant anything to her at all, and he tried to tell himself that maybe she had good reason, but it hurt him in a very deep place and it was hard for him to feel better about it or to not assume that his first emotional reaction was correct.

He did feel a little better about it in Extinction when she tells him why she felt she had to leave (although she left out being forced to kill Angie, likely because she feels like it's just this unforgivable thing Carlos would hate her for, which of course is not true, heh), but for five years in between Apocalypse and Extinction, he was left with a broken heart, and it really affected him on a deep level. I would go so far as to say that's why he never pursued anything with Claire, because he'd been so badly burned by Alice.

10. What do you love about your muse?

How human he is. Here's this hardened guy who's been steeped in war and conflict since he was a boy, who's a badass soldier who can absolutely kill you, who should be so detached or cold or apathetic by now... and instead he's the kindest, funniest, warmest person. He's good with kids, he's kind and understanding of civilians, and he'd give his life to save someone he doesn't even know. I just find that so amazing? He's managed to keep his heart alive through everything and I really love that about him.

11. What do you hate about your muse?

Already answered here! ^_^

12. What about your muse amuses you?

He's such a little shit, honestly. Carlos wears his humor like armor, he uses it as a tool to relax people in hard times, and he uses it to uplift those he loves, even when things are looking really freaking grim. It makes me smile, his playfulness and little jokes. His banter with Alice, Claire, Chase, L.J., etc. I love it, heh.

13. What about your muse makes you sad?

That he had to die so young and didn't make it to see the antivirus released and the world start to heal. Also... that he gave his life to get the others in the convoy to Arcadia, and then they were essentially all killed anyway. T^T

14. How would you describe your muse to someone about to meet them, in person, for the first time?

This is Carlos Oliveira, former paramilitary soldier, vehicles and explosives expert, and all-around great, reliable guy. =)

15. Would you like your muse as a person if you met them in real life?

YES. I would fangirl so hard. XD

16. In what ways are you better than your muse? In what ways are they better than you?

I... don't think I'm better than him in any way, really. I wish I could be that brave and selfless, but I'm a scaredy-cat, haha. I've had arthritis since I was two and my body is good for very little, so I'm not about to be as strong, athletic, or adventurous as he is. And I don't think I'd be as good as him in survival situations either, I mean let's face it, if I break out into a run, my knees and ankles will give out on me in two seconds flat, so I'm not outrunning any undead anytime soon, heh. So yeah, he's got me beat on everything, I think. XD

17. Why do you think you connect to your muse?

I've always been a sucker for paladin-types, I'm just gonna admit that right out of the gate. The honorable, protective types. I respect them a lot, even if people sometimes call them foolish, and I guess that personality type is something I aspire to? I don't... actually hit the mark, haha, but I do aspire to. So yeah, Ned Stark, Basch fon Ronsenburg, Carlos Oliveira, heh... same category of personality as far as always wanting to do the right, moral, good thing, and being protective of those smaller/weaker than they. I really like characters like that and I enjoy writing them, so that's definitely something that drew me to Carlos.

18. What aspect of your muse’s personality is most important to you? What aspect of your muse’s personality do you think is most important to them? Is it the same? Why or why not?

So I think his protector's mentality is absolutely central to who he is, but he'd probably say his sense of humor. I say that because, even with his sense of humor, he's always trying to protect others. Even if it's... telling a joke to get a scared little kid's mind off something. Or engaging in playful banter to break up the monotony and hopelessness of the convoy's day and situation. Those, to me, are still forms of protecting others. I see his humor as a facet of that. He would say humor is most important because not only is that how he helps other get by, but he is also helping himself to get through another day with that humor too. So to him, it's a very personal and essential part of his personality.

19. If you had to judge your muse and sentence them to a “fair” fate, what would your judgement be? Would you punish them? Reward them? How?

Already answered here! ^_^

[cipheramnesia]

And so many questions while our parasite Alice dwells in my head like the little larvae weaving their nerve threads through the spine and the mind of Alice, mostly just, where does it start and go, and why and who, the normal concerns. It could be that tattoo along her narrow spare thigh, more like a name on a file reading ALic3, just the sort of thing to make it easier to find flipping through folders. But she doesn't know, like, her Bunny.

She had a name well enough but bunny was fine, all the same kind of tattoo, a whole other folder about what might be of a human battery filed under AthEna6. Only she has the secret names none of the doctors White and S. used for any of them, maybe finding that soft sad bunny looking around for a bus that's not coming would tell the way it starts. She's ever so mysterious and soft spoken, they tried so hard to burn her good, but it never took, it never caught just kept it collected and carried inside. Quiet girl looking for your parasite princess before you burn a hole in the sky.

Oh and those parasites, in such great quantities of conservation - did you know their eggs are so small they don't break surface tension. That's where all roads travel in the cathedral, deep in the depths, a pit grotesque of rotting flesh and corpse of pastors past, offal and excrement and cum and piss all ferment for the sake of feeding the wasps. Which aren't even wasps, by the way? Despite the deception, the fertile queens flying round the cathedral of foul decay, await bodies tested for density and plasticity. They're territorial you see, and conditional to such rare moments in the corpse that few ever recover.

They kill each other at birth, they eat their mother to survive, and in the body of parasite Alice, woke to the worm, the joyous discovery heralded by the open tomb to find her feasting on the other three corpses aside. The zombie worms, which aren't even zombies you know? They feed on decay, they need neurological tissue to build and rebuild. They pour out their guts figuratively but literally puke their brains and nervous system into the host all the better to restring their puppet. Perhaps they'll tell the story at the start.

Or it could be simple as Iggy, round the block they call him KZap as a soft joke. Pushing his wheels over that sidewalk that's busted to shit with all the bags of trashed out plastic and dead rot and banned cassettes. Some really good demos left circling the bins, a little wiffy but they play as good as any others, to say terrible. And down that fateful fly infested cul de sac, midst a pool of some abandoned butcher's cuts a long lean dead girl covered in grotesque white worms up her spine and head, arms and legs wrapped up in gleaming whirlpool death, spiked through with a dozen and more empty ports yawning for swords. She's dead, Iggs, and all that's left is a rage for the cold metal and cold world that ate this kid alive, but you can use it, your own singing strung net could grow and show more people the safety that comes from being allowed to dream. At least that's how you see it, Iggy, as you wheel yourself home, dead legs hooked over your shoulder and a her broken open skull dragging and grinding down a little more each foot. Then again, how carefully do you treat half an empty skull? More careful than you think.

Might could do, or Mercury Lynche, Rockefeller, the Inferno Raven, that bitch Dr. Stevenson, they all got something in the door. A collective of ten thousand kinds of different agonies but who's even counting them up these days? It's about to get innovative.

It is possible I'm leaning too hard into the concept of a parasite POV protagonist which explores what it means to make yourself into the shape of another body (re the starfish comic and a bunch of bits in it), when the body in question is a trans woman who has undergone a severe amount of involuntary biomechanical body modifications, in an experimental attempt to utilize her poorly understood mutated nervous system as a kind of living weapon against a parallel universe which is inadvertantly unraveling our own world in isolated but escalating highly destructive incidents involving sudden explosive release of energy where they intersect.

But when the events proved fruitless, leaving her wracked with trauma and metastasized cancer, they threw her into a care home / prison where she died of the aforementioned cancer, and this is all in service of answering the question of where The Body which becomes the host originates. However, being as the parasitoid mutant blind millipede colony does not enter a corpse with a template, and merely threads into whatever pre-existing physical and neurological systems are part of the host corpse as-is, not only is the colony collectively entrapping itself within the boundaries of a host body, but it is operating on the assumptions that all the surgical and hormonal alterations, as well as the cancer, are a part of the body which they should also include in the neural network they extend themselves into.

Meaning the actual outcome is the world as seen through a parasite colony which, as it consumes and partially replicates both nervous system and brain of the host, believes itself to inhabit the world as a human, while in actuality it is oblivious to the fact that it now exists as an expression of the traumatic abuse which an authoritarian state under threat will inflict on a human body, as well as the cancerous expression of consequences of this abuse, all stemming from a body which, in a world facing an existential crisis, has an unconventional non-human nervous system which allows it to engage directly with an alternate universe.

Which all plays out because the apathetic management of the care home sold her corpse to a religious order / conservative activism group dedicated to the preservation of the mutant parasitic millipede colonies out of the fervent religious belief the colonies represent the unending cycle of life from life and life from death, and also because the millipede colonies act as natural predators to the Dalton County Dump Roundworm Infestation, which has been taking over large portions of the country via its exponential growth and lack of any competition. So now I have a completely sensible background derived for the parasite colony protagonist who is also fifty percent of the dead trans woman they consumed in the process of infesting her corpse, who is now a kind of holy relic to the temple which infected her, but who also wants retribution for the horrific abuse she suffered, while simultaneously experiencing her twisted and broken body as the correct form as derived by the parasite infestation, which is also her.

Simple.

@wcrstarter​​     (  𝑎𝑙𝑖𝑐𝑒 𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑟𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑠 )  

Blistering red slowly bled into the edges of her vision. Clarity was being obscured by a devouring anger.  She felt ill to her stomach as disbelief sank like lead in it and tightened around her throat like a chain being pulled on with a sinister intention. All this time, ALL THIS TIME---! The beginning of that peaceful life they had started in that quaint cottage away from civilization, save for a village miles away... it was too good to be true. She should’ve known. God, she should’ve known better. The mere thought of it nearly makes her bark out a scornful laugh, and she would have... had she glanced away from the sickening sight in front of her. Instead, her muscles quiver and coil tightly. Her hands balled into fists so tightly her knuckles turned white. Teeth grinding as she clenched her jaw. A deep thrumming began within her body-- the virus was harmonizing with her rage and there wasn’t a damned thing she could do to resist it by this point.

Not when her darkened gaze continued to burn holes into the stone wall and the proof of the darkness that swept over the village adorned the wall like it was meant to be there. Umbrella’s accursed logo painted on it. Around it, in the four corners sat the symbols of four different Houses of this little village. 

The deafening snap of her self-restraint echoed in her head and a burst of unnatural energy flowed with the bone-shattering punch against the center of the painting. With it came a shout filled with unbridled fury and her aura reeked of the supernatural -- or rather in her own words, curse... it’s power was rolling off her figure in glee as it fed onto her rage. Voices were already chanting in the back of her head, imploring her to feed it more. 

Unfortunately for it, the pain that jolted through her entire arm from the impact of her fist against the wall -- leaving a small crater in the center of the Umbrella logo -- was enough for her to reel herself back. Sonja’s presence nearby was more than enough to keep her anchored as well and she exhaled roughly, eyes slamming shut as she turned away from the wall. 

“They’re everywhere.” She hissed out, “And they’re not going to stop till the entire world burns.”

Why do you think that Meyer included Rose as someone who is perfect for Alice's skills, but then made Bella the one that Alice fixates on? Bella-as-self-insert aside, why even include Rose as someone with very similar hobbies to Alice if you're just going to make Bella Alice's muse? If you MUST have Rose be shallow and vain, there are other ways to show that that doesn't introduce plot holes. And you can make Bella appreciate Alice's efforts without making her seem "vain" herself.

I think it all comes back to SM trying to thread that needle of wanting to spoil Bella with attention and material things while also making Bella “humble.” So Alice loves Bella and showers her with attention she doesn’t necessarily want (because she’s Good), but then Alice and Rosalie clash because Rosalie likes/wants attention and pretty things, she doesn’t “deserve” them because those desires are ‘bad,’ I guess? How dare Rosalie have self-esteem and know she’s beautiful and love herself!  SM really seems to have a problem with blonde women and Rosalie is the most prominent one in the story.

Rose is supposed to be that beautiful blonde Barbie that makes mousy brunettes like Bella feel bad about themselves. Alice is the benevolent fairy godmother who grants beautiful dresses and parties to deserving underdogs. Bella doesn’t want parties and clothes and attention and therefore she deserves them; Rosalie likes those things and so that makes her shallow and vain and undeserving of them? Or something? It’s all really weird and doesn’t really add anything to the story. 

What really gets me about Rose is this widely-held belief that she’s just this utter bitch to Bella but when you actually look at the books or movies there’s . .  not much evidence of it.  Sure, that “what is she to me?” line is not a great look… but Rose literally just met her that day and is now being asked to risk her, her mate, and her family’s safety to protect her. And the thing is by the end of New Moon–which is only the second book!–she’s apologizing for her behavior. She apologizes again in Eclipse for “being such a monster” so the idea that she was this horrible snot to Bella the whole series is … kinda of weird. She’s not especially friendly and a little resentful of the danger that E/B puts the family in but that’s … pretty reasonable? And she’s not calling Bella names or screaming at her or anything. It’s like Rosalie not going out of her way to be instantly welcoming and accepting is somehow the same thing as being actively nasty?

 “Rosalie doesn’t want to make her brother’s new girlfriend the center of her entire life? What a bitch!” like, what? Why should she have to? 

(And granted the undertones in BD of Rosalie only helping Bella with the pregnancy because she kinda hopes Bella will die and Rose can have the baby are, uh, not good, but on the other hand Bella KNOWS this and pretty much recruited Rosalie to the Cause for this exact reason. She KNOWS Rose will put the baby’s survival ahead of Bella’s own and that’s what Bella wants her to do.)

Hi TT :), I just went on your marauders threads masterpost and none of the links worked. Honestly it might be my computer (I have a super nasty virus atm) but then it might not be. To give you an idea, every time i scroll over the links the typing cursor comes up (y'know the one with the lines that highlights stuff) I've refreshed the page quite a few times and nothing seems to be working. I will carry on refreshing and see if it will work, but for now I just thought you ought to know :)

@tornsavior​​ / ft. Isabella    (  𝑎𝑙𝑖𝑐𝑒 𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑟𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑠 )

“Isabella. I’m not going to ask you to make promises we can’t keep-- not in this world...”   Oh, she’s exhausted.  You could hear it in the strain of her voice, and see it in the way her posture slacked just a little. Shoulders slumping. Almost looking like she’s at the point of surrendering. Sure, she might look beyond repair ninety-nine percent of the time... but this was different. Especially considering the chaos they barely survived earlier this morning on their patrol run. At least it fit the absolutely disheveled look she was sporting as of this moment -- jacket torn up from the horde of runners that were hot on their heels this morning. Hair in completely disarray and splatters of blood, both fresh and coagulated were dried on a side of her face and neck.

Of course, she’s not bitten though. She wouldn’t let that happen. Not the first time she’s managed to make a harrowing escape anyway. 

This time is just different, because of the emotional high she was going through. For years... years-- after Angela’s death and before becoming deeply involved with Isabella, she had shut herself out from humanity and all the vulnerability of it’s emotions for too long. She forgot how brutal it could be, the mix of stomach-wrenching fear for a loved one’s safety and the adrenaline from merely surviving -- this morning shook her to the very core of her battered soul.

The exhale she releases is shaky and so were her hands, before she curled her fingers inwards to her palms. Clenching into fists, then unclenching before she walked over to the blond... eyes locked with Isabella’s with an intense desperation. Getting down on her knees in front of the other woman, look at that... Alice Abernathy was on her damned knees like some beggar. Never had she done that for anyone. 

“But if something ever happens to me, I need you to take Becky and just... live that full life you both deserve. I-- I can’t be around forever and somehow in my gut, I know I’m not going to die of old age.”  Eyes finally close then, tightly as her head bows and a choked sob tries to claw it’s way out of her throat. She refuses it. “This... this morning--”  Even her voice cracked.  “--was too fucking close. If I hadn’t cut my backpack off, they would’ve tore into me.”

       “...If you think that’s going to make me give up this cup of coffee, or a kiss- you’re sorely mistaken.”    She barely flinched. Barely. Timbre of her voice is just a deadpan. But they both know she’s playing along, of course -- even as she cradles the tin mug of coffee close to her chest, all protective. Mine. Go get your own.

▼'For Alice and Isabella :))

She’s not sure when exactly she dozed off, when she was roused by a warm weight settling down on her hips.  God, the way she feels like she just came back down to Earth told her that it must’ve been one of the best naps she’s had. In a very long time. There wasn’t even a single nightmare, shockingly so. But fuck, she’s not going to complain.

How can she? As blue eyes flicked up to the face of the woman straddling her hips-- making her breath hitch the slightest. Alice blinked once, slow and sleepily, and her lips quirked in a small smile. Her voice is slightly hoarse from slumber as she murmured, “So they finally sent an angel to pick me up?”  Now her little smile is just crooked, as she tilts her head and laid her hands on Isabella’s thighs. Stroking. Gently squeezing. A silent plea for the other to not move just yet.

[tornsurvivors]

( from rain ) Holds up a cardboard sign scrawled with red marker, pointing enthusiastically to the words with the tip of her tactical knife, /WANT ME TO SHOOT AT THEM?/

                Alice almost laughed at how enthusiastic Rain appeared to be. She wanted to. But she had to keep a straight face for the sake of the few survivors that were relying on them--- they weren't too far behind. Needed a clear path back to their settlement. They were moving too slow for Alice and Rain, obviously. Hence the scrawled question. Of course, Rain wouldn't shoot them. Maybe just at the ground to scare them enough to pick up their pace. Alice had a feeling she nor Rain planned on sticking around for too long after. While she doesn't know Rain's reason, her own had to do with people dying around her and there's usually one person out of every group that would turn into the villain. Or just a selfish coward. She didn't have the time for that. There were bigger things weighting down on her mind. The anti-virus. Dr. Isaacs. Umbrella.

...And making sure Rain doesn't die on her, too. That would shatter the remnants of her sanity.

With a faint curl of her lips, she shook her head and mouthed to the younger woman: 'save your bullets'. Her gaze then flicks down to the survivors and it felt as if an invisible hand unpleasantly twisted her heart. Four adults and two children. A goddamn child... two of them. Another reason why Alice didn't want to stick around. The last time she willingly agreed to escort a child to safety, Umbrella flipped their living weapon on and... you know the rest.

Exhaling roughly, she tore her gaze away and looked up ahead. There it is! The settlement. Finally. It didn't mean she'd let her guard down any minute soon though. She kept her senses open, while silently praying she wouldn't start hearing a faint buzzing noise or smell rotting flesh.

Claire's fingertips are slightly rough. Years of survival, years before that just training with her brother. That doesn't stop them from being soft when they trace along each side of Alice's jawline until Claire can tilt Alice's head back. Claire smiles, just the slightest. "You're a good person," is all she whispers and it sounded like the newest version of 'I love you.' Then Claire just closes her eyes and kisses Alice on the forehead, letting the kiss linger.

There’s a few ways to make it difficult for a living being to breathe... two out of three for Alice are the absolute worst. 

For her, it’s always either one of these--- being suffocated by an evil creature living inside her body. Oh yeah, the virus has developed into a goddamn creature inside her. Always whispering horrible things in her head and trying to manipulate her like how a narcissistic asshole would. Trying to convince her she’s better off being a monster. Draining her energy and leaving her gasping for air. Then there’s the physical way... getting thrown into walls--- or through walls, crashing into the ground from a height that wouldn’t kill her or getting her ass kicked to the point where the wind leaves her lungs. Either way has to do with the virus being a pest.

And then... there’s Claire. 

The ONLY way she wouldn’t mind finding it hard to breathe. Every single time, this... magnificent human being finds a way to render Alice speechless. She gasps softly, and blue irises seem to brighten as they peer up at Claire through half-lidded eyes. Her hands finally stopped shaking from a brutal anxiety attack earlier. All she needed to do is simply drown in Claire’s warmth and she would happily die from lack of air this way. 

‘You’re a good person.’

Anything else might would’ve seemed like it wasn’t real, because of the heavy yet comforting haze she was falling under. But those words were loud and clear. Claire DID say them and Alice is overwhelmed by a powerful need to cry. Almost does, but she doesn’t--- instead she chokes on a sob and swallows hard. Shuts her eyes completely. Her rough and calloused hands, still not shaking, finds a tight purchase on her wife. One on a thigh and the other on Claire’s lower back, fingers curling till she’s gripping on the shirt tight. 

Words tumble around in her head, waiting to be spoken but she doesn’t know how to piece them together. That’s alright... they speak through their own love language they’d developed together over the years of survival.

If anything, Alice is perfectly content with the fact she feels human again. Which SHE IS. They found the cure. That’s right, she only forgot about that momentarily because she’s lived with the virus for so damn long... her body had adapted to expecting a reaction and automatically switching her defensive system on in preparation. 

She shudders to think what would’ve happened... if Claire hadn’t saved her.

Winter had it’s brutal moments back in the United States, sure... but here in Europe?   It’s reminding Alice of her hometown in Russia --- the temperature dropping dangerously low. Below zero.  It hasn’t gotten to that point here, yet. But Alice’s just grateful they had decided to stock up on firewood in case. And they had one other’s body heat.  After a decent dinner, they had found themselves laying on blankets in front of the fireplace and just conversing about the simplest moments of their lives. It was helping Alice forget what continues to lurk underneath her skin. As matter of fact, she doesn’t even feel it at the moment. Thoroughly focused on the hungarian and her stunning features. 

The emotional words that seemed to be spoken so suddenly made Alice blink, before a corner of her mouth curled--- a smile she hadn’t been capable of for years before Sonja.  Turning over to lay on her side, Alice propped her head up on a hand and the smile morphed into a certain playfulness in the form of a grin. Her free hand reached out to take one of Sonja’s, fingers intertwining before she brought them up to her own lips... kisses pressed slowly to each knuckle. Then she whispers with a gentle mirth,  “...Even if I turn out to be a nasty werewolf in a lifetime?”  A light laugh right in between words. “Or a mutated alien?” 

No, just because she’s joking around... it doesn’t mean she’s not taking Sonja’s genuine declaration of love to heart. As matter of fact, it’s making her feel like everything is just right again. Reminding her of the lengths she would go to protect her. She would die for Sonja... even if it means she’ll see her again in the next lifetime.

Flashbacks of a past that should’ve been buried by now. But come to think of it... trauma is never going to be buried for long. It’ll always come back to bite us in the ass -- whether it’s prompted by a chaotic incident or the most trivial thing. For Alice? It’s the latter. She doesn’t know this girl... but she knows the face that appeared in the other survivor’s. Fleeting, but haunting. 

Angela.

The name, she almost uttered in shock -- luckily she bit her tongue and slowly raised her hands, her pistol in one. A sign of surrender and a message that she had no desire, whatsoever, to bring any harm to the young girl. Slowly, ever so slowly... she leaned down and lowered her gun to lay on the ground before straightening -- hands still raised in the air. 

“I’m not looking for trouble. I just came here to scour for supplies... I didn’t think there would be anyone else out here.” 

[tornsurvivors]

@blxsscd-x-fxrsakcn​ / ft. Noma (  𝑎𝑙𝑖𝑐𝑒 𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑟𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑠 )

          The barely audible click of the empty shell being ejected out of her handgun’s chamber was lost in the sea of noise. Mostly in her own ears. At least the annoying buzz of the infection detection was fading, becoming tolerable once more and Alice exhaled softly. Eyes narrowed then -- jaded blue irises flicking around her surroundings. A mix of different scents lingered in the air and one of them was NOT putrid. It was almost eerie, just how she’s become used to differing the smells of the living and the dead. Like she’s become the predator in this twisted reality.

She began to walk, holding her gun down by her side and the safety off. Not that she ever has it on anyway -- only when she’s around other survivors. Which is almost never. Speaking of survivors...

“You know, if you keep hiding as you are... I would suspect that you’re planning an ambush.” She called out towards the ruins of what used to be a small pit stop. “And I’m not going to promise anything. But I can tell you... that would be an addition to the numerous stupid mistakes you’ve made in an entire lifetime.” 

And now she’s going to wait. Of course, she’s not gonna say she could smell them too (damn these superhuman senses)... that would be unnerving and Alice didn’t want to scare them off. 

Not yet.
