[sebsallowapologist]

Pothos

Hi! While I have my nerve I’m going to post this- I haven’t written anything for public eye in a long time. 

I’d been thinking for a long time that Bella & Edward’s love story would be so much better if Bella had the chance to mature a little bit. So I wrote this:

When Edward left Bella in New Moon, what if he didn't come back until he was sure that Bella wasn't going to live happily ever after. It's 7 years later and Bella is floating through life as a 25 year old in Los Angeles when he comes back into her life.

Please please please tell me what you think or if this is worth continuing. 

The elevator ride was quiet, just the muzak playing and the quiet dings as we passed the floors that lead down to the basement. Most other people in the office would go home as soon as their computers told them it was 5:00, seldom staying until 8:00. They had families to get home to, dinners to be had, husbands to kiss and tell them how their day was. I filled up that time by staying a few hours late at work, until I got the message that we were meeting up at Umbrella tonight.

When I’d gotten word that morning that Mike couldn’t make it out tonight it made my blood drain from my face. If we wouldn’t go out then shy Angela would have bailed on me too. Theres power in numbers, and two girls alone at a bar wasn’t something Ang was comfortable with. Or maybe she was as long as I wasn’t the only other girl there.

Now that I had some plans for a Friday night I could stomach leaving work behind, moving from one distraction to the other. I shove my phone into my back pocket and grabbed the little black backpack I carried before shutting off my computer and walking out of the cubical I spent 60 hours a week sitting in.

Most people craved the weekend, spent the 48 hours of freedom trying to undo all the work they did over the weekend, but I was the opposite, my weekends were spent trying to run away from my own thoughts, mostly through drinking until I could feel my brain sloshing in my head and then working over my days off, desperately trying to prove to my company, and myself, that I deserved to be there, and it wasn’t just because my guardian angel put me there.

My guardian angel.

The one who got me into UCLA when I applied late and with horrible grades. My guardian angel who made sure I passed every college course, despite how much I didn’t understand the work. My guardian angel who got me the job at Variety, to make sure I was writing and doing what I thought I loved. I hated him, but I took all of his gifts, even though I haven't earned any of them. I was selfish and was plagued by the thought of the person who should have the life I was living, the one I took for granted. All because he felt guilty and I was too weak of a person to deny the silent gifts.

I make it down to my car and throw my backpack on the passenger seat of my little four door, another gift from my guardian angel. Or was it just a coincidence that someone was selling a barely used safe car just for the price I could afford as soon as I needed it? The truck had finally wheezed its last breath my senior year of high school, it was so symbolic it almost hurt, but it was right. A pick up truck didn’t make sense for Los Angeles, I would have spent my salary on gas alone.

I rest my head on the steering wheel, keeping the car keys gripped in my hand as I take three deep breaths and let out everything that happened at work today. The deadline that was moved up without my knowledge, the bitch who took the last k-cup on our floor which made me go to Starbucks this morning.

I sigh and stick the key in the ignition and crank the car to life and back out of the spot without letting the engine warm up. I pull to the mouth of the garage and flash my badge to the attendant, who let the gate rise and let me out. I wave and give a half smile while he waved me on and turned down the street, heading for my apartment.

Los Angeles had ruined my driving, you just didn’t get around this city in any kind of timely manner if you didn’t treat yellow lights like a suggestion. I made it home in a reasonable amount of time, since almost all of rush hour had already died down.

I lock up the car and walk up to my side of the duplex. The duplex I loved, covered in flowers that were cared for by the old woman who lived next door, the old fixtures that reminded me of what Los Angeles used to be- a golden era of film and mob crime. What made LA interesting, as opposed to what it is now- an influencer filled hellhole. I open up the door and slam it closed, the only way the hinge would catch.

I throw my bag down next to the pile of shoes next to my door and head to my small bathroom to freshen up. I bite my lip and stop at the wall of plants lining the window in my living room. Fuck I should water those. The plants all stemmed from the singular pothos plant my neighbor had given me when I first moved in. She taught me that when it grew, a stem could be cut off from the rest of the plant and placed in water. The little section of plant, given the right circumstances, could develop its own root system and thrive on its own, without the home it had once known.

So I did it once, wracked with anxiety that I would kill one of the few flourishing leaves on the plant. It sat in water for weeks before the small root stuck out of the stem. One root became two, and then three as it grew and reached the bottom of the mason jar, and all of a sudden I had a whole other plant that was thriving, the scar I had given it from taking it away from it’s home had grown, and made it possible to survive on its own. So I did it again, and again, until my apartment was covered in pothos vines. I walked around my apartment and watered each one of them until their soil was damp before continuing with my night.

I wasn’t going to any club, but a brush through my hair and a little mascara on the eyelashes doesn’t hurt. I had to act quickly though, since I was getting texts from Mike about every five minutes asking where I was. I tell him that I’m on my way and throw on a jacket over the thin silk and lace top I wore. I didn’t live far from our favorite bar which made stumbling home a few nights a week extremely convenient.

***

The Melrose Umbrella was the bar for people who thought they were too good for bars. The Hollywood nobodies lined the walls, drinking the drinks they could barely afford while trying to all sleep with each other. I’ve been guilty of it, I’d brought home quite a few conquests home from the Umbrella, when I felt like it. I find Mike and Ang at the back of the bar, sitting in our normal booth.

I wasn’t sure if having a normal booth at a bar in a city as big as Los Angeles was something to be proud or ashamed of, but it was our home. I put my bag down and take off my jacket, smiling lightly at my friends. “Sorry I’m late, I’m getting a drink, anyone need?” I ask and they both raise their hands. I laugh a little and head over to the crowded bar, trying to lock eyes with Paul. Pretty Boy Paul the bartender. He smiles and I hold up three fingers, signaling that I needed a drink for his three favorite regulars. He nods and I relax a little, waiting for our drinks. “Hey.” I hear and I turn around to see a man, average height, average build, nothing special about him talking to me like he deserved my attention. “What’s going on tonight, beautiful?”

“Drinking.” I mumble and nod at Paul when I get my three drinks. “Let me get your next round. I’m an actor and-” He starts and I almost roll my eyes out of my head. An actor. Great. “Oh really? What restaurant?” I ask and collect my drinks and go back to our booth, leaving him in the dust.

“You should really make them think they have a chance, it looks like you just kicked his puppy.” Mike laughs and I roll my eyes, sliding him his beer and Ang her margarita. “But he didn’t.” I mumble and Mike rolls his eyes, “What? Don’t need anyone to keep your bed warm tonight?” He jokes. The few times a year I brought a man back over to my apartment were national holidays to Angela and Mike, who insisted that I just needed a more steady flow of orgasms to fix whatever was broken with me. Every time it fell short. Every time I had sex with someone else it wasn’t one tenth- no one one hunderth of the attract, thrill and wholeness that came from just kissing E- No.

“I got a heated blanket, and no. I’m getting black out tonight.” I smile and place the vodka water at my lips, the lime hitting my lips as I take a big sip. As if that was different from any other night we spent at Umbrellas.

Drink after drink I talked with my friends, until my brain was too slow and too cloudy to think about him, until he wasn’t the underlying stream of consciousness that was always going through my mind. The last call bell rings and I sigh, grabbing my jacket. “Alright, I gotta go, I need to work on a piece tomorrow.” I mumble and Mike chuckles. “You would consider 1:45 in the morning to be calling it an early night.”

“I’m a saint.” I smile and he nods. “Do you need help getting home?” I shake my head. “I’ll make it the two blocks.”

I lift my last drink up to my lips and finish it’s remains, letting an ice cube fall into my mouth. I wave to my friends as I exit the bar and let my shoulders curl forward as I shuffle my way back to my apartment. Another successful night. If you could call it that.

I keep my hood up and finally make it back to my place, shedding my jacket at the door. It was too hot. My stomach rumbles and I groan, I hadn’t eaten at fucking all since lunch. I stumble into the kitchen and find a pot, tossing it onto my gas stove before bringing out the boxed mac and cheese.

With shaking hands I get enough water into the pot and set it to boil, leaning over the stove to watch the bubbles rise, but you know what they say about a watched pot, or whatever. As soon as I deem the noodles “done” I drain them and mix in the milk, haphazardly cut butter, and finally the packet of powdered cheese and mix it together, bringing the whole pot into the living room to enjoy my dinner in style. I set the pot down on my coffee table and groan, the burner. I wasn’t so drunk I was going to burn my house down. Stumbling back to the kitchen I glanced at the stove top, expecting to see a small red flame, but everything was off. I was better than I thought.

I walk back to the couch and start eating the mac and cheese while I scroll on my phone. Seeing stories from everyone’s Friday night, posts of everyone laughing with their friends. And I had done that. Succeeded at being a normal human girl. To an extent.

I’d had that smile on my face, I’d laughed and danced, but I just wish it didn’t feel like a cover. I felt like my whole life I was hiding someone’s secret. Tears prick at my eyes as I land on a couple, laughing together outside of a bar, her hands on his chest. I lock my phone and place it face down on the couch. I couldn’t- be around that anymore.

I abandon my full pot of mac and cheese and stumble off to bed, shedding my shirt, my pants, and my bra at my hamper before falling into the bed, pulling the covers up to my chin.  

***

They say hangovers get worse as you get older, but I haven't experienced that yet. When the sun creeps in through my window my biggest symptom is the light headache that I know would go away with some coffee and an aspirin.

I lay in my bed and let a little whimper out of my lips as I stretch. I freeze when I hear the sound that must have woken me up, three quick raps at my door echoed through the apartment. My brow furrows, no one ever comes by. I lean over and check my phone, anyone I knew would tell me before they came over.

I hear the knocks again and roll out of my bed, I was going to have to go in blind. I grab my jeans from last night and a UCLA sweatshirt off my floor, pulling them on as I walk to the front of the apartment. “I’m coming!” I call as I get the knocks again, impatient. I push my hair off of my face and look through my peep hole.

The distorted image did him a massive disservice.

His bronze hair was covered by a dark hood. His white skin was shaded but still brillant, it made my headache scream just a bit.  His golden eyes looked through the peephole and I gasped when we made eye contact, not that he could see. “Bella?” I hear and every muscle in my body freezes. He had to know that I was standing on the other side of the door. My name sounded angelic coming out of his perfect lips. I’d never loved the word Bella so much.

My hand shakes as it moves to the doorknob.

Veil Episode 2 Part 3.5+4

Previously, we played what was supposed to be a short session that I didn’t summarise in which the gang sans Synch took crescent moon to go shopping for some casual clothing! 

A lot of things happened in that one but the important take-aways were...

Ariel and Fortuna were told about the kamen rider man having kidnapped Crescent Moon’s mother figure, Heartful Vale, Ariel cried about the date that she had with Crescent moon, Will asked Fortuna to talk to Ariel and Crescent Moon about their budding relationship, unaware of her part in the equation, Will continued to harass Old New Underground teens, and Blessed Lee Outrageous tried to get Senza to talk to Denno’s Coil, but framed it in such a way that made it seem like he was trying to get her to perform emotional labor so she told him to fuck off.

Also Fortuna drank 5 Crescent Shooting Stars, the Constellation Coffee exclusive Crescent Moon themed drink, winner her Official Crescent Moon Wolf Ears. That was that session more or less, then they went to Quid University.

Synch started the focus of our next session, today, waking up before everyone else at the place the Eyes on the Inside are staying at, leaving a note for Burning, and then leaving out the window, having stolen a Crescent Moon shirt from him. They then checked their texts and took a taxi to the school to meet up with the others.

Quidama-Dre University is, a very interesting school, described as a mix between being extremely brutalist utilitarian and also having a large number of post-modern buildings, the kind that look like they’re melting or glitched or have other various things like that. There’s also a hideous modern art piece. 

Crescent Moon is in awe at the sight of all of these people, and having only seen such numbers when people were there to see her, and not just hanging out or being there or just living their own lives. However, rather than try to go off or observe and wonder, or try to steal the costume of the mascot, Qutie the Chakat, Crescent Moon instead is struck by the look for horror on Fortuna’s face of dread at having to solve her problems. Crescent Moon asks whats wrong, causing Fortuna to give an about face as she says that she just has to deal with her responsibilities and then gives Crescent her number, so that she can give any advice related to love.

Synch arrives as Fortuna leaves to deal with her duties, informing the party about getting their texts. Senza hands Synch a fancy looking box, claiming that as there is a Thicker than Blood event on campus, this will help convince them that Synch’s ruse (that they’re dating Senza) is legitimate. Synch checks if its ticking (it is) and decides to open it, finding a rather fancy watch that has some gears, an arcane weird knob, and a very particular kind of aesthetic. Synch says they’ll wear it later, which Senza uses as an opportunity to chastise them, asking if they even know what time it is. 

Crescent walks up and asks the group whats going on, and Senza vaguely gestures at the fake dating situation, then starts to lead Crescent to the quad, to show the idol more people, and fufill her curiosity.

Fortuna has at this point gone to her lab and corners her T.A., a horned dude with a flannel shirt named Pierce, who is the T.A. Fortuna has worked with the most, and coincidentally actually likes Crescent Moon the least of all of Fortuna’s T.A.’s. Fortuna wants Pierce to not go to the concert like the other T.A.’s so that they can administer an important test instead of Fortuna having to do this, when she is planning on still protecting Crescent Moon then. Her angle to convince Pierce to do this is to introduce him to the virtual idol, to which he isn’t convinced, not really believing her and going back to doing what he was doing after posting about how nonsensical the situation is online. Her problems remain unsolved....

Upon seeing that the quad is overrun by Thicker than Blood, for the purposes of their recruitment event, Ariel pushes for the group to visit the library, partially so that they can also do some research. On their way there, Senza and Crescent moon are caught on camera, and when they arrive at the library, Senza gets a call from a friend in the literature department who asks if she’s with Crescent Moon. Senza figures out that she was caught on camera with the idol, hangs up, and tells the group about this. Synch blames Senza for their lack of subtlety and Ariel decides to do their research and asks if theres anything they need to know first, to which Synch says yes, but that they need to talk privately first. Senza also wants to speak with Ariel, but Will needs Senza’s help dealing with people who have maybe noticed Crescent Moon, as she’s a teacher.

Synch and Ariel talk about the Angelic Threads, the group that created Ariel, the very name adding even more disgust and contempt for them. They want to make them pay for what they’ve done, but they assume that Synch isn’t going to help. Ariel then tells Synch about the things they learned last night involving the masked armored man. Synch asks about when the picture was taken, then whines when there isn’t an answer. The two agree that maybe this situation shouldn’t be underestimated and that they shouldn’t have gone to such a public place, that the people following Crescent around seem to be extremely dangerous.

Meanwhile, Will is making some mild success at making Crescent Moon more inconspicuous while Senza attempts to use LACUNA to hack into some of the libraries filters to prevent people in the library from talking about the idol. What happens instead is that LACUNA uses the access to the libraries systems to spy on Synch and Ariel, learning all of the secret information they gave each other. Ariel notices that they’re being watched, or something, and learns that LACUNA is watching her. Senza opts to warn the friend that called her about things going wrong soon and then takes Ariel into LACUNA’s reading room so that it will be easier to try get the important information that they desire. 

Ariel begins with information on their attacker from the other night, finally allowing me to name the kamen rider man as Blood Root and learning that he was an alleged psychic who Snow Vision Structure apprehended, and was presumed killed. Ariel then tries to find out stuff about the Angelic Threads, discovering through various means, that these people call themselves Angels and desire to advance humanity as a means to Open Heaven. Ariel also discovers that they have agents in at least the Investigative Bureau, Snow Vision Structure, and the Seat of Judges. Senza, who needs more time to process this says that they should begin to leave when Ariel asks why Senza was spying on them. When she stumbles on explaining, not wanting to give Ariel the details on LACUNA, Ariel gives up and lets it go for now.

Synch is found by a harried Blessed Lee Outrageous who warns Synch about TtB going after them on Denno’s orders. When they ask why, he says that he doesn’t know, but he doesn’t trust it. Synch calls Denno’s a bitch and tells the group about it as Blessed Lee runs away. Senza tells Synch that she didn’t tell them about Blessed Lee’s previous conversation because it seemed to be about something more personal and less weird. 

Fortuna’s troubles meanwhile are that she once again fails to convince Pierce to do her job, citing the ability to have him work with Emperor Epoch, who’s lab focuses on far more interesting and real archaeology rather than hers. She could set up a transfer as he owes her a favor, but Pierce once again is disinterested. At this moment, Bicker Boulder, the Investigative Bureau person who requested an interview with Fortuna asks for her time, seeming very worried for one reason or another. The two go into Fortuna’s office and Bicker asks about Denno and Senza, saying that she saw something but wants to speak with Senza about it, as she isn’t sure about other things. At that moment, Pierce tells Fortuna that some TtB goons came looking for her, but they sent them away. Fortuna thanks Pierce and then asks Bicker how badly she wants to come with her. When Bicker affirms her desire, Fortuna locks her door from the inside with a chair, takes a coffee maker, and prepares to leave via the window. 

She falls, breaks the coffee maker, and Bicker follows and drags and then lifts her up.

Senza was prepared for this situation and gives out disguises for the group, giving Crescent Moon a rather fashionable disguise while the others get less pretty people. They all appear to be just normal college students. She also sends out a distraction, a fake Crescent, elsewhere on campus. The group manage to elude Thicker than Blood but overhear some of them running and trying to find Fortuna. Senza offers to go find her and Synch follows along. Will doesn’t have a reason to think this situation is serious, something that she will learn she is wrong about later. 

Synch and Senza arrive at Fortuna’s lab, a bit messy but otherwise empty, finding the door to her office blocked. Synch uses their detective vision (psychic powers) to discern that a lot of nervous and scared people were around, with a group of people trying to come into the lab, leaving, then trying to go into the office before another person came in and they all left. Synch then explodes the door open and sees the Fortuna shaped marks on the floor outside the window.

When the duo go down there, there’s a Thicker than Blood person upset over the lackluster trail, who asks what Senza (in disguise) wants. She explains that she was sent by Senza to find Fortuna, to which the TtB guy tries to use to his advantage, asking her to guide her to her professor. Senza says she will, guides him to the woods, and then neutralizes him, tying him up to a tree and confirming via his confiscated walkie-talkie that Fortuna hasn’t been apprehended yet. 

Synch and Senza unite, the former secretly using their psychic powers to make the captive less scared and more peaceful, so that the latter can interrogate them. They explain that the reason that all of them are so hectically going after the group is because Denno cut a deal with someone scary looking, who made an example of one of them via the nanomachines that all of the Thicker than Blood people consume as a part of their initiation. Senza uses LACUNA to isolate the nanomachine’s signals, neutralize them, and then figure out where Denno’s Coil is. He’s on his way to Snow Vision Structure, because, of course he is.

Senza then gets a text from Fortuna, saying that she’s ok she just fell.

Back at the apartment, Will, Crescent Moon, and Ariel, in that order, are watching television. Will texts Ariel that she wants to talk about work and they agree and then leaves. Will excuses herself as well and in the other room, asks about what she found with her research. Ariel decides to lie about finding nothing of value, which is obvious to Will, who can read body language. Will attempts to ask about why and how, to which Ariel just talks about having done her normal methods and getting nothing, which Will sees and pierces through, learning that Ariel is angry at her and wants her to go away. Will realizes that appeasing Ariel will not work, says that she knows they’re lying, and that they just want to deal with things, they just want to keep Crescent Moon and everyone safe, that she should start acting like she really cares about fixing things. Ariel rebukes by going off on the Seat of Judges, saying that they only care about maintaining the status quo, and can’t help her, chastising Will for not knowing the name of her creators! Will responds with simply saying that it’s true, she doesn’t know anything, she can’t know anything because Ariel doesn’t tell her anything, and she can’t help if she doesn’t know anything in the first place. Ariel angrily reveals that they don’t trust Will because the Seat of Judges is in her creators pockets, something Will can’t respond to easily. Instead, she tries to use the obligation that she has on Ariel in order to get the information out one way or another. Ariel promises to tell Will the information later, when Crescent Moon is safe, so instead Will asks for the information on Blood Root, which they give.

Will goes into another room and contacts her hacker, Zed, and using him and the Seat’s database, discovers Blood Root’s location and discovers that he’s somehow shackled to SVS, being unable to go very far from them for very long, currently holed up in a warehouse both owned and not owned by SVS. 

She sends this information to Ariel directly.

We end on Denno inside a SVS vehicle, speaking with a mysterious and dangerous person with a chiselled body, long hair, and military clothing with a patch that has a stormy snow insignia that in a mysterious flash of the veil’s light, changes to the symbol of the Angelic Threads. Denno says that they shouldn’t have made all of the TtB so scared, to which the other man says that it was necessary to make them understand the gravity of the situation. He also says that their deal is still on, and to just not worry about it anymore. Denno asks if Senza and the others are going to be okay, and he laughs saying that Whitefall is committed to doing whatever it takes.
