#Ruben Visser

@manybcdthings loki x ruben - town hall

-

The dawn of a new era. The changing of the guard. A show pony becoming the work horse. The old replaced with new. Or in this case, when a false messiah bows down before the true one. The tall and mighty Ruben, with knees pressed in the dirt as Rineike's role is rightfully reinstated. Loki savors the change, noticing the shift hovering above Ruben’s head. His halo is now a crown of thorns where, as any Visser could predict, he became a lamb for the slaughter. If Loki shuts his eyes, he can catch the scent of Ruben’s sacrificial blood filling the air. A smell that's followed him since he joined, faint at first but now the metallic sting is undeniable. His sheep heart torn out and squeezed dry. "Poor thing." Loki utters, quick and quiet as he appears beside the other wolf and trains his gaze to the schedule. A hand plucks it it from the hanging clipboard, pages lifted over to find his name. "I heard you have old friends here." he muses without glancing to Ruben, until finally cold blue hues raise from the paper. "Roan might need to be worried, no? You chose us over family." but why is it Ruben wishes to stay? Oh, the question burns in Loki's mouth. But, it's far better to watch for the answers than to ask for them. "You love us that much." he snarls a smile, humming. "So sweet."

town hall

ruben gray and jasmine madden @waterfallswords

The brief conversation with Loki wasn't brief enough. The Jansen wolf had a way of planting doubt, and Ruben had enough of that already. After his temporary role came to it's end, he was left adrift. But, not adrift enough to ever make the same mistake he made before. As Fox and Jasmine hurried on over to the Vaisman pack, Ruben kept his feet firmly set with the Vissers. His nose was out of place, but he was sure it was the right decision. While his mind whirred with possibilities, as if clutching onto a sense of power that he had now lost. Could he prove himself as more capable than Rineike? He thought so. But, thanks to Loki's twisting words, he wasn't thinking much of anything as he walked through the town hall to leave.

He heard Jasmine's voice, it's sunshine sound reaching his ears faintly but before he could turn to her, his eyes caught sight of a quick flash of movement. Thick curls and bright eyes captured his attention for a moment as they passed him, only able to scan striking features temporarily before Ruben was back to where his mind needed to be. "Huh?" he asked, as he welcomed Jas to his side. A casual raise of his arm to tuck her to his side. "Barely heard you, babe. What is it now?" there was something like a grin on his face, but not much of one. "If Kenzie or someone has said anything, I don't wanna hear it. Alright?"

ABOUT

The Madden wolves used to be a pack from the countryside of Georgia. They lived harmoniously for a number of years in a small town, balancing their way of life with humans. Slowly, the pack traveled from the outskirts towards Atlanta with hopes of growing their numbers but they found themselves in the middle of a territory war. The Cross pack wished to drive them away from Center Hill or recruit them while The Vaismans also offered to take them in. Suddenly, the Madden pack was no more. Wolves were split into the two packs, some choosing the more formidable and stronger Crosses and others choosing the Vaismans. For Jasmine, there wasn't much of a choice. The Vaismans became her new home in Center Hill, knowing she was far better suited for their way of life.

She only had a few years to adjust to life in Center Hill before the Crosses attacked again, driving the Vaismans out of Atlanta entirely and all the way to New Orleans. IJasmine had never coped well with sudden change but she found herself, once again, having to learn to adapt. New Orleans seemed promising, despite the sense of loss that clung to the Vaismans. The three years that followed allowed for Jasmine to settle into a new routine and way of life but when the war began, there was more grief and change. The French Quarter Fires took everything from them. On this day, Jasmine was separated entirely from her family with only her friends Fox and Ruben as her means of survival. The three of them fled for safety, beginning a terrifying journey among the war that stretched across the country.

Jasmine is barely suited for confrontation let alone fighting but in order to live, she's had to embrace change even if it's the kind that happens from within. Now, she battles with a flurry of emotions such as guilt and regret for actions she's previously taken in order to survive. All the while, losing hope of ever reuniting with her family or the Vaismans again.

A stronger chance of surviving came in the form of Visser wolves, who thankfully took them in. And Jasmine knows that if it wasn't for Ruben's show of strength, she would have been left at the wayside. Since then, she's tried to adapt to the Visser way but hits stumbling blocks more often than not- trying her hardest to appear stronger than she really feels. And if it wasn't for Fox, Jasmine thinks she'd lose her head as he's the only reminder that good can still exist in this world. They've remained with the Vissers, although Jasmine has been longing for a way to leave them ever since they joined.

[rviner]

The question rolls through Loki's mind like a leaf in the wind. Fluttering, with no true direction. Thorin's survival has been a surge of optimism that he otherwise thought didn't exist. And a cunning grin moves over Loki's lips when he imagines all of his brothers together again. Proof that no mortal force could keep them separated for long. "I am always curious." he nods slowly. “Men jeg vet også hva øynene mine så, Rineike.” Loki adds, his tone more somber as he remembers the assault on their land. "Men det ble kanskje spilt meg et puss denne gangen." a laughter swirls in his chest then and he places down his drink with an encouraged nod.

Loki's eyes lock to Rineike's then, studying any subtle change in her features when they speak of Ruben. He looks for any faint twitch, any flicker of light that might shift from behind her gaze. But, the Visser Beta has always been a difficult read. A rune in another tongue, slicing through her wolves with an unmovable force. He likes to assume that she feels the same way as he does and he laughs to her, spreading his arms out in a gallant but slow gesture. "Me? Hate?" he scoffs softly, grinning. "Hat er en så sterk følelse at det like gjerne kan være kjærlighet. Og jeg elsker ham definitivt ikke."

And speaking of love, Loki swears he can see something of a hesitancy in the way Rineike flicks her hand. She's dismissing the emotion, defensive maybe. His eyes follow the movement but are back to her face then. The grin still there on his, never moving. "Jeg har ikke noe imot å gi hjertet mitt, tror jeg ikke." he wonders if he already has. "Giving a heart to somebody means there is none left to give anybody else. I like that thought." Loki's tone is soft and curious, a rise in his snickering when Rineike's reminder reaches his ears. He's already to his feet to leave and instead of a grin, a smirk is curling his features and darkening his gaze. "Jeg er alltid flink, Rineike."

END.

★・・・・・・★

Rineike nods, as it's a fate that all of them wish for if they are to die. A warrior's honor to greet their fallen brothers and sisters in Valhalla where they continue to fight with the Gods. "It does not make you curious?" she asks, head tilting slowly to study their own trickster wolf. "Når ulv har slått seg ned vil vi starte flere søk. Det vil ikke skade å se om brorens navn kan bli funnet." Rineike adds with more certainty then. "Det er mange vi ønsker oss. Jeg skal sørge for at Jansen-ulvene er blant dem."

She has to remain poised when the conversation turns to Ruben, but Rineike fights a grin as Loki only speaks her own thoughts out loud. Sometimes, she's sure that's why others do not take to him so warmly. He can be a mirror image of whoever he talks to, shining light on their secrets. "Tiden vil vise som den alltid gjør." Rineike mutters with a convincing smile, taking a bite of food while her eyes scan him. "Å hate ham for intenst er nesten som å stille spørsmål ved mitt og Roans valg om å ha ham her. Er du klar over dette?" but as for Fiene, Rineike can laugh more freely then. "She stays here to make herself look fearless. But cowards do not run from their pack."

She snorts then, a loud scoff of laughter at Loki's words. "I would sooner eat my own heart than give it to someone else to tear through." she says with distaste, flicking her hand quickly in gesture. "Nor would I need you to take their head." but Rineike is still grinning, ever amused when she speaks with Loki. "Jo mer du tenker på det, jo lenger vil det føles. En overvåket kjele koker aldri." she laughs, ever aware that a Jansen waiting is asking for trouble. Not any they can currently afford. "You have only arrived here, Loki. Be good, hm?"

1e Trainingen met de keepers

1e Trainingen met de keepers

De 1e trainingen met de keepers stonden dit weekend weer op het programma na de winterbreak. Nadat de sneeuw afgelopen vrijdag nog roet in het eten gooide, stonden de keepers zondagochtendin een heerlijk zonnetje op het veld om zich weer te kunnen ontwikkelen. Beter worden, je optrekken aan andere keepers, kijken naar andere keepers, luisteren naar de tips van de trainers en met passie trainen.…

[unbrokenresurrection]

[rviner]

With how the Vissers live, entwined with their beliefs of fate and Gods, a hopeful smirk graces Loki's lips at Roan's words. Crossing paths with missing wolves and reuniting when least expected is just as easy to believe as finding them among camps and facilities. "It is true. I do not think she will be in a camp when she finds us." he says then about Rineike. "Your sister is not a force that can be restrained, at least not for long." which is more than can be said for the mock Beta. Loki trusts Roan, it would be foolish not to, but as his eyes find Ruben again, a natural distaste sours his tongue.

A dutiful nod follows about the plan, and then a smirk as it's named a surprise. Loki can already hear screams of pain ringing in his ear, rolling through his skull. He can already smell blood and smoke, feel the heat of flames lapping the skies. A grand offering until all that's left is ash and snow. "Jeg elsker overraskelser." he chuckles, gleeful almost. But, he loves being the surprise more. And Loki is thankful to not be stuck behind Ruben, waiting for the mock-Beta's call to begin the wield of blades. He's more content with Roan's lead, to follow the shout of coarse and bloodthirsty lungs. "You think he is that reasonable?" Loki fights a chuckle, glancing to Roan then. "You are lucky that I do not frighten easy, or I would be asking you for a vow of protection if we see him tonight." a more amused laugh escapes then. "Have you ever seen him happy about anything? I have not."

What Loki says and what Loki does often differ. Usually, Roan doesn't mind in a fight – victory is victory is victory. But this is where strategy is a necessity and why Roan isn't quick to throw his weight around. Because when he does, his pack members know he means it. Every word. "Good." It's all he says to the guarantee before nodding at Loki's words. "Hvis hun ikke finner oss først," he says with a wry grin. His sister is a force to be reckoned with and Roan pities any guard who is tasked with holding her captive.

The alpha looks at the snow, and then to the sky and the grey clouds hovering above. "Han er alltid med oss, Loki," Roan nods, "but tonight he will fight by our side." He knows it to be true, convinced by the circumstances they found the holding camp in. Low supplies, tired soldiers, the weather. "The snow is his blessing." He considers the weapons before them both. "When the last scouts return. They will be here shortly and then we move." He says in their mother tongue because I can't keep translating everything, "East and west entrances. Ruben will take the west, we will scale the cliffs in the east." He cants his head at Loki, a smirk on his lips "Vi vil være en liten overraskelse for dem." At their least protected side. "I hold you to that as well." Roan notes the pride and thinks that training Esje has given Loki a focused purpose of late. "When we find Cas, he will know it was necessity."

@wilddwcrds loki x esje - idk somewhere watching the holding camp dec 31st

-

Impending conflict charges the air. A crackle of tension, a shiver of anticipation in the night’s frost. Loki’s senses sharpen to his surroundings, his whole body morphing into a snarling hound that strains at the leash. He’s lived so long like this that the fire in his veins is barely noticeable as he sits in serenity, but keen eyes are locked onto prey.

The holding camp looms before them while they lurk in the shadows of trees, and suddenly Loki can feel Esje’s trepidation as if it echoes in his own chest. His gaze shifts to her, studying the way she’s mesmerized by the camp. Subtlety has never been his forte, and their unspoken bond has long since transcended formalities. Which is why it’s all too natural for his hand to take a gentle hold of her chin, tilting her head so she looks at him. “You have trained every day. You are ready.” his head lowers into a solemn nod, letting go of her face with a caress of fingertips before he glances briefly to the other wolves with them. “Visser spirit can not be taught.” he adds when his attention pulls back to her, a smirk forming as it’s obvious who he speaks of. It’s his duty to follow Alpha and Beta, but it doesn’t mean he can’t have opinions. Ruben is a strong wolf, but he seems clumsy to Loki. Like a pup still growing into massive paws.

“This will be an easy fight.” another glance to the camp, where movement has slowed thanks to the howling snow and plummeting temperature. “Just stay by me, you will be fine.” he speaks not to her but he doesn’t need to. The previous months since finding her, despite riddled with violence and danger, have been a blessing to Loki. Not a single interruption from meddlesome Grimms. Having Esje to himself is a reward, he thinks. A gift that he isn’t ready to return. “Are you scared?” Loki asks as if he can’t hear the thumping of her heart, but he predicts that she’ll insist otherwise.

CHARACTER UPDATES: CHAPTER 4

HUNTER CROSS - Thunder River

Focused on making sure Mason and Tyr is okay, refusing to admit his own emotions obviously.

Is heavily involved in formulating a plan of escape and later joins the group that makes a run for it.

Will be willing to do anything shady or defiant while in the camp, possibly starting up a gambling thing so people can win or lose supplies.

Thread Ideas: Gambling, loss/win of supplies. Fighting. Solitary or getting cuffed to someone he doesn't like. General plotting of escape. Muse level: Med-High

ETHAN JONES - Hollow Cove

He's once again stressed because of everything LOL

He gets JJ onto the first supply run that's sent out.

Is trying to help Everett navigate the return of Maren as well, while keeping everything afloat while Teddy is missing.

He will be against the revision of a three day grace period, simply because he understands the complexities that can happen out on the road and thinks it risks further supplies or risk to higher numbers.

Thread Ideas: Suspicions of being a little underhanded with his position on council to get Jackson on the first search. Push back of him not wanting to change the grace period. General stress threads too. Muse Level: Med-High

JACOB MARSHALL - Hollow Cove

Will be willing to help the Jones' pack join searches etc for Teddy

Doesn't particularly have opinions about the grace period

Is focused on working through the town and searching for his brother.

Thread Ideas: A search party thread where something happens, or after it's happened. Maybe a clue is found on a run that brings him closer to his brother. Injury, general chaos is kind of funny for him. Muse Level: Low-Med

GABRIEL RAMOS - Hollow Cove

Is still searching for Amaris and Cece whenever he gets the chance.

Starts helping the Jones' look for Teddy, could potentially get more sidetracked helping Charlie.

Will be helping with work around the town but is usually quiet and brooding I should stop writing characters like him.

Thread Ideas: Runs, working, and general formulating plans threads. Muse Level: Low-Med

CAS GRIMM - Hollow Cove

Will be working closely with the Vissers as always

Isn't at all willing to go on search parties for Thorin and Egil.

Still grumpy about Esje and Loki.

Thread ideas: Could potentially sabotage a run that Loki goes on, not the first one but another, he's petty enough. Is sent on a search for Thorin and Egil lol. Muse Level: Low-Med

ALEX DABROWSKI - Hollow Cove

Has no desire to search for Dominic

Will mainly be working around town and avoiding his own pack.

Thread Ideas: I haven't written him so I couldn't possibly say what would work. I think throwing him into some action is a good idea. Rose threads should happen with some angst for sure. Muse Level: Low-Med

FELIX RANSTROM - Hollow Cove

Has a lot going on that's plot specific sorry but it'll be on the dash.

Is generally hands on around the town.

Thread Ideas: Either making unexpected friends or even enemies works for him every time. Specifically, if he makes friends or an enemy with a high position through the town this could be something used later. Muse: High despite me writing nothing here that helps HAHAHA wow ok onto the next

RUBEN GRAY - Hollow Cove

Is no longer with the Vissers and will be trying to get into the Vaisman good graces, but with Kenzie gone it's difficult for him to be promised a place in the pack again.

He's befriending the Murphy's during this time period but offering help to search for Allie and Kenzie, while also continuing searches for his brother.

Thread Ideas: I think this will mostly be Visser, Vaisman and Murphy threads that make the most sense for him right now. Muse Level: Low-Med

HATI JANSEN - Hollow Cove

Obviously he loves his brothers so will be joining whatever he can to search for them.

Is not that interested in the goings on in Hollow Cove and will always follow Roan and Rineike's lead

Thread Ideas: Being put on a shift with someone would be hilarious but potential to turn nasty at any second. Searches and runs too work for him well. Pretty much anything goes. Muse Level: Med-High

MARLEY CARTER - Hollow Cove

Is kind of a reluctant team player in the town, doesn't get involved in the politics either.

Is focused on ensuring Maren is okay and slowly getting to grips with the fact they're staying with the Jones' and getting to know everyone.

Is generally talkative even if it's a one sided conversation and he talks his own opinions for hours.

Thread Ideas: Shift threads, easily argumentative ones too. Maybe surprising people that he's pretty resourceful and useful on a run or a search. Muse Level: Med-High

GUNNAR ALFSSON - Hollow Cove

Will be mainly helping his brother and Skadi find any kind of clues for their children, but it's a difficult situation as no one is a hundred percent sure they're alive.

Will be mainly working with the Vissers and for their vision with little to no interest in the rest of the town.

Thread Ideas: Similar to Cas but Gunnar is nicer and probably easier to thread with. Has the potential to be a little edgy. But anything goes for him much like Hati. Muse Level: Med-High

VALI 'JINX' NIELSEN - Thunder River

Will be willing to help formulate an escape from the camp, he's easy to talk to and can make friends well.

But also he's annoying so can easily make enemies as well.

Thread Ideas: Getting into a bit of a scrap, or causing a commotion by accident that alerts guards etc. Maybe he finds a good bit of intel from one of the soldiers that no one listens to at first until he's proved right. Anything goes with Vali too. Muse Level: Med-High

COLE FOSTER - TRAVELING

Has plot specific situations on the dash

NICHOLAS WINSLOW - Hollow Cove

Also will have plot specific situations on the dash

He's mainly focused on the things happening within the Belcourt coven but he's easy to interact with.

Will be for the revision of the 3 day grace period just because he's nice lol

Thread Ideas: Honestly, I can't come up with any that are outside of Belcourt interactions at this time but I'd be down for anything and he's easy to talk to. Muse Level: Med-High

MARULF CARHILDR - Hollow Cove

This man does NOTHING. He doesn't even think about anything other than his own world he lives in

Thread Ideas: Talking a bunch of bullshit, annoying people, being forced to work but ultimately talking his way out of it. Muse Level: Med-High

SILAS DEMPSEY - Traveling

Has plot specific situations on the dash

CRUZ MEDINA - HOLLOW COVE

This guy is an asshole that can easily appear as the best guy around so there's lots of potential.

Doesn't really give a shit about the happenings in the town, or people missing. He's more focused on finding more of his own pack

But he will be working HARD and helping ANYONE

Thread Ideas: Lots to be done with him, definitely if there's a situation that usually he'd resolve by punching someone in the face, but can't, and maybe we can plot out a sinister revenge story too. Excited to write him doing anything. Muse Level: High

[wilddwcrds]

allie catches the downturn of mars' lips, a frown mirroring on her own. the harsh truth of the war always stings. destruction, agony, and the horrors happening in the facilities. mars lived through it, and the thought that her brother might be enduring it at this very second weighs heavily. vic, mel, and lexi, too. alana releases a weary sigh. long, tired and quiet and she acknowledges the moment with a gradual nod. "i shouldn't have said anything." she confesses in a quiet murmur, dropping the pen from her fingers as she scans over the overwhelming papers and maps scattered over the table.

she's thankful that laughter has always come easily with her and mars, and alana sputters out a quick snort as the conversation turns to ruben. "he's not so bad." but she's not defending him fully. "just a typical guy, thinks he's right all the time." allie makes a face, still lost in the humor. "i think the vissers aren't too bad either. y'know, they hate those assholes crosses. we might have some buddies for once." allie shrugs, chuckling. "maybe we'll be wearing furs and speaking with some weird german accent." but she is able to agree about jas, nodding with a passionate movement. "well, unless fox hurries the fuck up, i don't think jas even realizes." allie hushes just incase either of them wander through the cabin, but she thinks it's fairly obvious that fox has had nothing but heart eyes for jasmine. for literal years.

when it comes to mars and kas, however, allie keeps her opinions mostly to herself. she understands how close they used to be, she even understands why. but now she has nothing but resentment to kas seeing how he easily abandoned mars, leaving her behind without even an apology. "i hope you figure it out." allie admits truthfully. "has he not even explained why he left?" she's curious but cautious, leaning up in her seat. "like surely he had reasons, right? maybe it'd be easier to talk about...if you knew why."

call it a life full of disappointments, but mars frowns as allie tosses out the notion of the madden sisters miraculously reuniting. it's a nice thought, all ambitious and hopeful, but a bit too much sunshine for mars's taste. she nonchalantly shrugs, turning the frown into a faint smile. 'i mean, i found kas in all those…things.' she mutters. 'so they could, yeah.' she nods, but uncertain if she'd want mel, vic, and lexi brought together under similar circumstances. a lifetime of torment, and mars is still clawing her way out of its grip.

she manages a chuckle at the mention of ruben, stifling it with a quick snort and covering her face. 'they're german now!?' she teases allie's attempt at the visser accent, as it now swirls continuously through hollow cove. 'ive always kinda thought he was a dick, too. there's a reason why him and kas get along.' she grins, never caring to say what everyone really thinks about her brother. 'maybe the vissers is the perfect place for him. he always…i don't know. i got the vibe he didn't like being with us.' a gut feeling, perhaps, or just speculation driven by her personal dislike for him. 'jas could do better.' she adds quietly, always thinking highly of the other wolf.

mars' eyes flick to allie as her friend clears her throat, an instinctual eye roll at the topic she predicts is about to unfold. margo slumps in her seat, throwing her hands up into a careless but tense shrug. 'i mean...i guess? he thinks i shouldn't be pissed.' and mars is too stubborn to forgive her brother. 'it just...how can i not be? you know? he just fucked off like it was nothing and that was never...that was never what we did. we stayed together through everything and he just fucked that right over.' her passion displays then, mars' fists clenching as she grips a map in her hold. she sighs then, easing her own tension with a long sigh. 'short answer, no. it's still fucked.'

Outdoor space has "equal importance" to interiors in Villa Fifty-Fifty

Studioninedots has created a house in the Netherlands that is arranged as a patchwork of alternating courtyards and industrial low-lying pavilions.

The dwelling, named Villa Fifty-Fifty, was created in a new residential neighbourhood in Eindhoven for a young family who wanted to live in connection to nature.

It was designed by Dutch architect Studioninedots' to encourage indoor-outdoor living, with the same amount of external spaces dotted across the site as there are internal areas.

Above: Villa Fifty-Fifty is a low-lying house in Eindhoven. Top image: it comprises a patchwork of pavilions and courtyards.

"Being the proud owners of a garden, at last, our clients' wish was a family home where they could live more with nature, where they could experience nature from the entire house," the studio told Dezeen.

"We could have designed a compact house with a garden, with a glass facade as a cliché that it 'seamlessly merges indoors and outdoors'," it said.

"Instead, we approached Villa Fifty-Fifty the other way around. We set ourselves the challenge to design beyond maximising transparency and treated all functions with equal importance, regardless of their obvious location."

Outdoor and indoor space have equal importance

The dwelling is located in Strijp R, a new neighbourhood in the city that is flanked by a forest and an industrial area that was once home to factories owned by electronics brand Philips.

Its size was dictated by the defined borders of the plot purchased by the client, which was chosen as it could comfortably accommodate a house and garden.

It is designed to help the occupants connect to the outside

However, rather than creating a house with an adjoining outdoor space, Studioninedots chose to "stretch the building envelope" right to the edges of the site.

It then divided it into a grid-like plan incorporating 240-square-metres of internal spaces and 240-square-metres of courtyards. This equal balance of outdoor and indoor space gives the house its name, Villa Fifty-Fifty.

Villa Fifty-Fifty's living spaces vary in openness

The functional pavilions and external courtyards are all roughly equal in size but are randomly organised to ensure they are independent of each other.

Some are left open or partially sheltered, while others are lined completely with glass or opaque walls, providing each space with its "own atmosphere and light".

The dwelling has an industrial material palette

Amongst the enclosed pavilions are the bedrooms and bathrooms, as well as a living room, office and shed.

One of the most private spaces is a volume containing the children's bedrooms, which takes the form of a large polished aluminium-clad tower that doubles as a viewpoint.

This tower disrupts the otherwise low-lying form of Villa Fifty-Fifty and is intended to function as a self-contained "tiny house" that can support the needs of the children as they grow up.

"The twin daughters are growing up and their rooms in the tiny house in the tower are designed to be self-contained, with more privacy and facilities to adapt the space for future independent living," explained the studio.

A metallic tower is the most private space

The choice of perforated, polished-aluminium cladding for the tower complements the use of textured grey-hued materials used throughout the rest of Villa Fifty-Fifty, including flagstone walls, steel columns, corrugated polycarbonate and cobblestone paving.

These materials were chosen for a raw, tactile finish, while also affording the house an industrial aesthetic that nods to the history of the site.

Colour is limited inside the home

Colour accents throughout Villa Fifty-Fifty are limited to the greenery and plants, which helps retains focus on the outside.

Bolder interior finishes can be found in the more private, hidden spaces, however, such as in the tower where walls are painted a gentle pink to emulate cherry blossom, and a dark green bathroom is intended to mimic lush forests.

Some living spaces are lined entirely with glass

Keepers met bekers de vakantie in

Keepers met bekers de vakantie in

De laatste trainingen voor de zomerbreak waren op vrijdag 3 juli en zondag 5 juli. Natuurlijk werd er weer met veel plezier getraind tijdens deze laatste training voor de zomerbreak. De keepers gaan genieten van hun vakantie. De trainingen starten weer op vrijdag 14 en zondag 16 augustus as. Daarnaast is er vanaf maandag 10 augustus het 5 daagse Keeperskamp.

Op de vrijdag was de eerste trotse…

"Oh! Those." Fox nods with an increasing speed. "Yeah, I can do those. Do them all the time, yeah." he's thankful for the reminder because he's one step away from convincing himself he's just been stood with the Vissers simply waving them off to war and waving them back again. It sometimes feels that way. Actually, Roan probably thinks it is this way too. "Aw shit." he hisses to himself then. "What if I forget?" he offers up the hypothetical. "Like, technically, I only could hotwire the Delorean. I'm not a..." he mimes an abstract tool in his hand while he fetches the word. "Mechanic." he's always worried it would happen. His mind is prone to going blank, what if it happens when he really needs it not to? Fox nods again to Jas' words, but then he hesitates. "You sure? 'cause you can just wait with me and I'll be done super fast, if I don't forget, and then we can just...get the others together then?" that seems much better, and the thought of Jas wandering off alone makes him feel sick, actually.

His eyes watch Jasmine closely, because he can see some sort of conflict happening in her words and her mind. Slowly, big brown eyes shift over to Ruben. Who honestly looks as if this is a Sunday afternoon. He wonders why he doesn't want to be comforting Jasemine and a frown forms, and it stays there when he can hear Jasemine not exactly bothered if she left the Vissers with Ruben or not. Confusion hits him then. "So like...you'd...but Jazz, you're like married?" he looks to her and then to Ruben, and then back at her. "Am I missing something?"

;

Jasmine realizes the mistake of her words when she sees Fox's reaction, the panic that strikes and she waves her hand. "No, sorry. That was...I didn't mean tanks. They just seem like tanks? But they're trucks. You've done them before, you can do it." she nods then and pats his arm hurriedly. They've both been in over their heads for too long, and that's what makes this so confusing. This is both normal, and not. For a while, in between attacks at least, Jasmine can't find much issue with their make-shift pack. And then nights like this come and she wonders why she ever stayed. She smiles softly at the way Fox mentions she should just wait in a truck and Jasmine shakes her head. "No, you get the trucks and I'll get injured wolves to it. It'll be fine, we...sort of got this." she looks at him, both of them trying to conjure strength from somewhere. Perhaps one another.

Thinking about tearing away from the group has crossed her mind more times than she can admit. But, once again the normality of it strikes. Along with the way Ruben seems to cope so seamlessly, and her head becomes a mess. "Yeah, I think...we'd be fine though." she shrugs, whispering. Until she realizes that she hadn't even considered leaving with Ruben. Jas swallows slightly, shifting to get comfortable on the fallen tree they sit against. "Not without you...and well, Ruben likes it here. So, he wouldn't wanna leave anyways." but she's careful to not dwell on the topic, waving her hand. "But, we're here. And we have trucks to get and people who are hurt. So." she lets out a shaky sigh.
