Dont just stare; come in- Alex to Cianan

The witch had hit the town a little over 48 hours ago in search of the woman who stood in front of him now. He didn't need to be here standing on her doorstep in a torrential downpour, as all he needed to do was locate and report back. Still, once he had a glimpse of the young woman he was too curious to needed to know more about Alexandra Herman.

Eyes wide at the invitation he cleared his throat before he removed his hat to step in. Leaving the rain behind he'd been soaked to the bone as he entered into the foyer of the large ranch, but didn't move much forward after that as he was a complete stranger and was taken aback that she'd even invite him in at all. Catching that this was apparently a place of business set him at ease. Finally, he spoke, "Ms. Herman is it? I've been looking for you."

Plots please! - cianan/alex

Alrighty, they all center around their supernatural verse:

I'd like to explore Cianan helping her deal with the dead and convince her that it's not mental but rather a mystical issue. Maybe heal her scars and rid her of the murderer that haunts her. Some rich tension because Cianan rarely does anything that doesn't serve himself in some manner, but her plight has thawed his frozen heart a tad.

Cianan is a collector and seeker of enchanted items. It would be cool for them to fall into a little adventure searching for something, or maybe someone is looking for Alex and Cianan has decided to collect Alex. Over the course of getting to know her, he changes his mind and can't go through with it.

Cianan could be going through one of his reclusive and depressive episodes and Alex shows up to turn his life upside down and eventually pull him out.

Continued from here @xseen2muchx

Letting his eyes drift around the room he found it rather cozy even if it wasn't his taste per se. It definitely screamed cattle ranch. It was as he scanned scanned he saw an apparition peeking from around the corner. It appeared to be in its death state, or at least he hoped as the figure held onto his entrails to keep them from dropping out. Cianan locked in on him dropping his chin. The oppression and darkness were so apparent, but so was the weighted connection to the young woman. The depraved soul slid around the corner out of his view being spooked by the necromancer.

It was then he turned his attention to Alex and gave a curt smile before sharing, "No, I'm not a reporter. I'm just someone who was hired to find you." Up until this moment, he wasn't sure how much he'd show his hand regarding the real reason he found himself in Colorado, but since yesterday he'd had a sinking feeling something was amiss. There was something incredibly unique about Alex, and Cianan relaxed his gaze long enough to see glimmers of static periodically. Interesting. In typical Cianan fashion, he bluntly asked, "What are you?" Although he already suspected he knew.

[little-earthquakes-rp]

Random HeadCanons Absolutely No One Asked For...

Subject: Unplanned Pregnancy

Boden: He's likely to know before even his partner is aware. Picking up those small cues of being sensitive to taste, warn down, and slightly more irritable. After much debate he'd come out and ask about their last period, and if there was even a question he'd be on his way to the pharmacy to grab the test. Once that positive pops up she's found herself next to the golden retrievers of father's to be. He's running out to get those pregnancy cravings, every ultrasound appointment he'd be there, and reading What to Expect When You're Expecting to you in bed each night. Boden being an orphan always dreamed of having a family of his own and would go into dad mode the moment he found out you were carrying his child. (Bodad)

Alex: If someone were to find themselves in the situation with Alex things would be tense. He would never pressure his lover either way, but he'd make it crystal clear that he wouldn't be able to be a traditional father. If they wanted to continue the pregnancy he'd provide monthly financial support and set up a trust for their future. He'd also make the child a beneficiary of any insurance policies he carried. He'd watch from afar, but wouldn't want any contact with the child. Alex's father was a monster leaving him with deep-rooted concerns he might become one. Truthfully, he's hoping his bloodline dies with him and his tormented siblings. ***(I've thought what it would be like for a long lost kid to find him...DRAMA).

Lou: He'd likely know before his partner. He'd pick up a different scent from them, but wouldn't say anything. He'd ask around to the other dads in the pack to verify what he assumed. Suddenly they find him ALWAYS around. He'd act completely surprised when you suggested or announced the pregnancy, and he'd wait until they shared their thoughts about what they wanted. Secretly he'd be hoping to start a family. He'd be all in at 100% to be a dad, and he's going to propose and try to marry them before the baby is born. It would also (verse dependent) encourage him to challenge the current alpha and take back his father's pack.

Gus: Hey, who's to say this already hasn't happened to him. The news would hit him like a brick and he'd be in complete shock for the first twenty-four hours. He'd try to mask it saying he just needed some time for the news to settle in. Within a few days, he'd come back to let them know he'd support them with whatever choice, and sincerely mean it. Granted, it was never a life ambition to be a father, his life has taken so many twists and turns this would just be another. As the months pass by he'd become anxious about their comfort and safety, and have the nursery set up before the last trimester.

Cianan: "Come now darling, are you sure I'm the dad? Unlikely." He's lived over a hundred years and never left lives in the chamber. Cianan would be suspicious at first because he's a careful witch, but if it were to come to pass he'd likely try to support the mother financially and emotionally to the best of his ability. I think he'd plan not to be hands-on, but when he holds that little baby for the first time that goes right out the window. Shite. He'd change his mind, and insist on playing the role of a proper father that his child deserves.

Val: "Not remotely possible." states the wrath demon.

Skye: The man would immediately empathize and try to figure out exactly what their headspace was on the subject. He'd offer support and assure them no matter what was decided he'd be there every step of the way. He'd also stress he'd be ready to help bring this baby into the world and would love to be a father. The moment they both decide to move forward he'd be out buying a new home to accommodate mommy and baby. The kind of home he used to dream of as a kid.A big yard with plenty of trees so he can get going on building the tree house. He'd be dotting probably to the point of annoyance at times, and the moment his child is born he'd pledge his life to protecting them and being the best dad. He'd also be sure to take care of Mama not wanting her to get overwhelmed. Taking on those night feedings proudly.

[little-earthquakes-rp]

"Oh, dead? Oh, very much no," Sasha laughed, and she could see the warmth of her breath in the cool night air before she admitted, "They're very much alive but not like me. They're actually talented." Sasha smoothed her skirt at her self-deprecating comment. She was new to necromancy, and her talents lay elsewhere. However, her mentor, Cianan, assured her that given time, she'd continue to improve.

A sharp laugh escaped when Alex shared their similar fate surrounded by the grump brigade. Shrugging a shoulder she asked, "Rancher, huh? Makes sense in these parts." The two had an easy nature between them despite only being recently acquainted.

Glancing down the street she weighed the other's words making an assessment. Tilting her head before she smiled and said, "My night was kind of over already. I stick out like a sore thumb around here. I'm a few blocks over in Library Park. You're welcome to come if you want if you don't want to be alone. I have a guest room. Otherwise, I can walk you to your car?"

Alex had long ago decided that it didn't really matter if what she saw was real or not; in her head or supernatural. Either way it had the same affect didn't it? People turned their heads away from her, they stepped back. The old men on the reservation and and the bar in her home town told stories about Revenants and old miners that got lost and went mad in the same breath. What medical intitutions explained now as pyhscosis and hallusination were just different words for what her ancestors had talked about for centuries. Sure they were more pallatable- they sounded like explinations, but they were just as out of their control as a ghost or a ghoul.

And either way people like her, and people like Sasha it seemed, had to find ways to appear normal in a world that felt as though it had an explination for everything. "Yeah? Are they dead though? Or are they like you?" She couldn't help but ask with a quirked eyebrow because it didn't appear that Sasha had gone through that yet. If she had, Alex doubted she would be crying at her story, or have the ability to act as normal as she had. Still clearly she wasn't just a pretty face that had taken pity on her during a panic attack either.

She snorted at Sashas description of her uncle. "Honestly? I grew up the only daughter of a Montana Rancher. Grumpy old men are kinda my specialty." She joked....but it wasn't exactly a joke at the same time.

The realization hit Sasha faster then it hit Alex, but mostly because she was distracted this time instead of her normal lose of time. "We um....we wont be able to walk to my place from here." She admitted, eyes drifting off into the mountains for a moment. "Where are you staying? I dont want to end your night early."

[little-earthquakes-rp]

Lennon/Sasha - What’s the lie your character says most often?

Boden - What would you (mun) yell in the middle of a crowd to find them?

Etta - If someone was impersonating them, what would friends / family ask or do to tell the difference?

Alex - What kinds of people do they have arguments with in their head?

Gus - What phrases, pronunciations, or mannerisms did they pick up from someone / somewhere else?

Skye - Who have they forgotten about that remembers them very well?

Valdis - Who would / do they believe without question?

Anya - What fact do they excitedly tell everyone about at every opportunity?

Louis - What’s a phrase they say a lot?

Willa - Would they eat something they find gross to be polite?

Cianan - What do they commonly misinterpret because of their own upbringing / environment / biases? How do they respond when realizing the misunderstanding?

Wow...thank you so much for taking the time to hit every muse with a question! I'm so grateful. ❤️

Lennon & Sasha:

Different characters with the same fc. Interestingly enough they'd answer the same, "I'm okay."

Lennon could be short two months rent and hasn't eaten in days, but still wouldn't want to burden anyone with the truth.

Sasha on the other hand is suffering under the crushing weight of an inferiority complex and imposter syndrome. She's constantly trying to prove her validity within the coven and that deserves the Terasanko name.

Both hate looking incapable and vulnerable.

Boden:

This man's musical passion is 80s & early 90s music. If taxed with finding him in a crowd I just yell, "You down with OPP?" My son would immediately throw his arms up and yell, "Yeah, you know me."

Etta:

You'd simply have to start talking trash about someone. Etta would never participate. She'd politely excuse herself from the situation.

Alex:

100% his family. Most likely Andy his younger brother who he loves very deeply, but they often butt heads over Alex's cynicism. It's rather telling that it's his brother because it is an important relationship to him despite their consistent rivalry.

Gus:

"Boy"

If Gus calls you 'boy' it's best to get a move on. He's run out of patience and is about to get physical. He likely picked it up from the streets of Peckham growing up.

Skye:

I'd likely say it would be his birth father. Skye could walk by him on the street and sadly never know it, but John has always kept tabs on his son. Waiting for the right time to introduce himself to his son.

Valdis:

Val without question would believe Pavlo and Sasha Terasanko. They've become the demon's surrogate family, and have supported one another over the years.

Anya:

The young woman would excitedly tell you about her early upbringing and what it was like to live as a Russian oligarch.

Louis:

"I'll take care of it."

Given the current pack leader's unpopularity, members still rely on Lou to handle things. Squabbles and providing regular counsel for the pack have become second nature. Everyone knows he can be found at his bar, The Low Down.

Willa:

She's not one to mince words or protect feelings. If you had the unfortunate luck of serving something that she found disgusting she's going to let you know about it.

Cianan:

For the longest time, Cianan wouldn't trust a coven and preferred to roam solo. His early upbringing with his own family and coven which outsed him left a bitter taste in his mouth. In time he eventually figured out that covens do offer a certain level of protection that you just can't get when you're going at things on your own.

[little-earthquakes-rp]

The night had turned unexpectedly interesting. The blonde witch only thought of leaving the magical world behind, but even so like attracts like. How else do you explain the magnetic draw to Alex? Watching the other focus on something–no someone across them. She noticed how the emotions ebb and flow and wished the weed would work a little faster.

Reaching out she gently rested her hand on top of Alex's. Noticing the cool soft skin before she admitted, "Whose your friend?" She gestured with a nod in their direction before she admitted, "I don't see them. I don't see anyone right now. My wards up."

She sighed, 'I'm sorry that happened to you," leaving her hand comforting the other as she explained, "No, not wrong. Just different is all." Sasha smiled and gave a pat before finally disconnecting. Stretching her legs again she sighed, "I'm pretty new to death magic, but been around it my whole life. My father is very talented." She stressed the last word. Pavlo Terasnenko was someone whose reputation preceded him. Looking down the street she felt a sudden chill and wrapped her arms around her stomach. "My dad's on a trip and it may be a while before I see him again," she admitted rather disappointed. Val and him were off realm and had been for weeks.

Forcing a smile before offering another avenue of assistance, "I however have a friend–a mentor who is just as resourceful and talented if you'd like to meet him. He might be able to get you some answers. Warning, he can be a bit prickly."

Sasha was being nice...Alex knew that. She could very well still be in the bar, playing trivia or whatever people did now a days in bars instead of drown their sadness, or pain, or happiness, or just generally loose touch with reality. She was old fashioned. She'd never truly understand it. Maybe that was made her so good at her job- the fact that she just watched, waited and listened because she could never truly understand her peers.

Her eyes stayed focused on the shadow across from them- the ever present haunting ghost that forever held a spot in her mind. It was strange that she would never know his name, just the taste of his blood in between her lips as she stabbed him to death to escape. She took another hit of the joint, feeling Sashas beautiful eyes on her. Even as she stiffened.

She let out a little half laugh at that. She was after all 100% right. "Thats the rumor...But if it makes you feel better, it didn't make sense to the doctors why I survived either." She murmured.

She looked over at Sasha again, really looking her over with piercing Amber eyes. "I'm half dead. Should be dead. Came Back Wrong. But what are you?"

[little-earthquakes-rp]

No one appreciates pity, but still, the story of what happened to the young woman was tragic. Sasha stood and listened sympathetically trying to keep the distress from etching onto her face. Still, she felt the tears well up in her eyes and looked across the street as tried to dismiss them before they shed down her cheek. It was easy for her to feel the weight of Alex's words, and her mind could only wonder what things this monster did. Perhaps it was all in her head after all that trauma, the blonde witch thought for a moment, although her senses told her otherwise.

At the mention of death being permanent and unnatural for someone to return from Sasha shrugged, "Well, I know some people that can make a rather persuasive argument against that theory. It does take a miracle or ominous talent." Both Cinanan and her father have mastered their abilities while Sasha had only managed to resurrect a bird thus far.

A little giggle escaped at the mention of an introduction to her father wondering if there was a misunderstanding, but the more she thought about it perhaps she shouldn't thrust the supernatural onto this poor tormented soul. In her heart of hearts, she knew that's what Alex had become, but the acceptance of it could be difficult.

Letting her apraizing gaze fall back on the pretty brunette she nodded, "I get it, but for what it's worth Cianan isn't malicious or cruel. Just old, bored, and irritated at times." I guess that's what happens after you hit the century mark. Noticing the hour Sasha asked, "Did you want to stay for a bit longer or can I walk you home?" Part of the witch felt responsible for her new friend after witnessing the panic attack.

Alex glanced at her quickly at the question, an edge of panic in her eyes when she realized that she had been found out. She tried to keep her....visions to herself. Mostly because she didn't want to end up back in a looney bin. 6 months was enough. She'd learned quickly that if she didn't want to be medicated to the point of incoherence, she had to learn how to fake being her old self.

She licked her lips though. "I...I dont think he's a ghost. I think he's in my..." She tapped her temple signaling that it was in her head. "I never learned his name. Which is fine. He's just the guy who did things...all the things to me. And then-" She shrugged her shoulders. "Then I killed him." Understatement of course but this poor witch didn't need to know that the woman who was sitting next to her had stabbed someone to death, even with a dislocated shoulder. She'd disemboweled him with vigor- hence his intestines falling out in a black splotch down his shirt. Sasha didn't need to know that though.

She paused at her new friends admission to death magic, which was a pretty damn good explination for what she was and how she could tell what was wrong. If only because she was more attuned to it then just thinking that Alexandra was insane. She gave her a little half smile though. "When things die, they are supposed to stay dead." She murmured, bringing a knee up and wrapping her arms around it. "So yeah; I would still say wrong. Not that I'm not thankful. But it wasn't the dead part that was hard. It was the being back after."

She glanced at her at the mention of her father and then mentor, curious and interested though she was more then a little confused. After all it wasn't like there was anything anyone could do. "You're welcome to come and meet my dad. He loves daughters." She chuckled.

Licking her lips she wasn't sure, clearly. "To be honest- I'm not 100% sure I'm ready for another person to be horrible to me." She nodded to an older couple that was looking at them warily and giving them a wide birth. She'd known them her entire life but again, they were scared of her now.
