❝ there are better hills to die on but i find this one quite comfortable. ❞ He says as he's literally just laying down and relaxing in the grass on some random hill.

A FEW VARIOUS SENTENCE STARTERS @fxllen-rxse / James

What a coincidence that this was the same random hill Lynn had often climbed across when it came to make her way to one of her preferred spots in Alola. From a top the knoll the edge of the sea side could be spot. And on a quiet day the sounds of waves could be heard crashing against the shore line.

Down there she had always promised her water types they could enjoy themselves to their hearts content. Especially Ariadne. The beloved sharpedo adored the chance to freely swim in the open waters. Even using the time to test out her own hunting skills. It was a break from the usual deliveries. And a chance to pursue some of her intended research.

What she didn't intend was to nearly trip over that familiar rocket grunt. Luckily she did catch herself in time right before inquiring what he was doing lying around in the first place?

"Wait...ehhh.. hold on," she furrowed her brows staring down at James. How was she suppose to react to a comment like that?? He seemed awfully comfortable. But...

"You are choosing this as a spot to die? I certainly hope you aren't being literal. That would make this chance encounter rather awkward, James" she added letting out a sigh as she then crouched down beside him.

"Really now"

⚘  @kastaegros // cont.

Striped with sheep paths, boiling with rabbit warrens, the crownlands were treacherous underfoot. Even the road churned with mud – caking her boots, clinging thickly to her horse’s feathered legs. Its spreading damp climbed her skirts, high enough to chill her thighs.

Emerging from the shadow of her dapple-coated palfrey, Anri drew back her cloak’s hood to make her greeting, relief washing over her features. She possessed the pinched, sleep-hungry look of one too long left to dream under stars, of one who was lost – as had rightly been supposed.

The man who had chanced upon her was framed by storm-grey skies, bordered by clouds fat with rain. Knightly in appearance and speech, he could have walked from the pages of a folktale. Anri could only hope and trust he was as gentlemanly as he seemed at the first impression.

“I fear I have lost my bearings,” she admitted with a small, translucent smile. As she spoke, her horse tossed its broad head, its forelock damp-dark and clinging. Anri was quick to smooth a hand over the silvery pillar of its neck, to stroke beneath the warm, coarse curtain of its mane. “I should be grateful for your escort to the city. If it is no trouble to you, good sir. Are bound in that same direction?”

"papermint. have you found anything useful for me?" vox is here, ready for an update of any kind from his assistant. a glass of wine is offered to the other, turquoise orbs staring him down in the midst of magical essence where his television head would usually be. // ( hope this works for you! attire ref )

Papermint jumped a fraction out of his skin when Vox spoke, previously having lost himself in watching people dance and laugh so he wasn't exactly aware of the others approach until he spoke.

"Oh! Sir! I uh...well..." He gratefully took the glass of wine from Vox, liking to be able to have something in his hands to play with. "So, I've made contact with a recently fallen sinner called Adam. He was pretty nervous about coming to the event, probably hasn't made many friends in his time on Earth so may be worried about people recognising him since he's also looking to change his name. I gave him my card so he could contact me when he needs help, possibly could rope him into working for us but don't yet have a grasp on what position would be a good fit for him yet."

Finding more employees for Vox was fairly high on his personal to do list since that meant more space between himself and the lowest earners, which was a category he did not ever want to find himself in. One of the reasons he made sure to collect and gather as much information as possible so he always had at least something to give Vox. Trying to make himself indespensable so to speak.

"Also spoke with Husk, thought that perhaps it would be useful to try to get close to him to see if we can get more information on the Radio Demon. Then also made an aquaintance with Cain Morningstar which might get us an in with the king." He took a sip of wine.

"How has your evening been Sir?"

Seriously chaotic fashion misadventures

I realized I posted a teaser and never really followed up on it, so here is some more of that

“Hey, Dami?”

Boy hadn’t looked up from the kittens he was bottle feeding but let out a hum indicating he listened.

“I'm thinking about trying out a more girlish style. Do you think it would suit me?”

Well, Damian had no idea but if Dani wished to give it a chance, then, well, the only proper reaction was to offer his aid.

*-*-*

“Father, I require access to your rouge gallery.”

Bruce almost choked on his breakfast when his youngest made this announcement.

Rouge gallery, as his children playfully called it, was vast collection of lipsticks, which he collected to uphold his Brucie persona. Famous playboy with head constantly in the clouds couldn’t not show up with discreet signs of scandal from time to time. And it couldn’t always be the same shade. Or scent when he choose more subtle approach and used one of his more feminine perfumes.

In all honesty, he enjoyed this.

But that’s not the point, point was that Damian wanted to use it and Bruce needed to know what disaster would fall upon him if he agreed.

“Mind telling me why, chum?”

Dick, who visited Manor for a weekend, barely stifled his laughter while Tim stared at his empty coffee mug like it personally betrayed him. Cass just wore her usual knowing and mischievous smile.

Damian shifted in his chair, hands clenching on butter knife. He was nervous and suddenly Bruce dreaded the answer he was about to hear.

“I don’t see how me sharing this information would change anything. It won’t be used to cause harm to anyone but it’s necessary in the extracurricular project I just started.”

“Dami, what project?” Dick asked, voice oozing with genuine curiosity and excitement. He was almost bouncing.

“I don’t want to disclose it.”

“Is this a hero or civilian type of deal?”

Damian didn’t look any of them in the eyes, both hands clenching on his seat as he kept shifting. Bruce narrowed his eyes. Was his youngest… flustered?

“Civilian”

“Alright, great” Dick swung back with single clap, almost tripping his chair over “I think B won’t have anything against you using his rouge gallery, will he?” Man knew his oldest son well enough to recognize his ‘don’t you dare to disagree’ tone. He was confused but there wasn’t any harm so he nodded with affirmative hum.

“Thank you, Father”

Boy practically inhaled rest of his food and rushed outside. Despite all his training and all his efforts, they clearly saw his excitement. Tim pinched himself and returned to staring at his mug.

“Cass, have you seen what I’ve seen or am I overreacting?” Dick asked, barely restraining his enthusiasm. Girl nodded eagerly, shoving more crumbs into her mouth. Young man cheered, throwing his hands up.

“What have I missed?” Tim mumbled, frowning a little.

“BABY BAT HAS A CRUSH!”

Cass nodded again with wide smile.

Oh.

Oh no.

Who were they? What did he know about them? Was Protocol 3r0s started? Did someone run a background check already? What could they do if they somehow hurt Damian? Was this person a risk to their identities? Oh gods, oh no.

He probably will have to do The Talk™.

He always dreaded having The Talk, with any of his kids. He felt The Talk with Damian would be even worse. Understandably so.

“Also sleep in at least three da-”

“Fuck off, dick.”

“Was this insult or-”

His children remained obvious to how much work it meant, cheering and sassing each other like they often did.

*-*-*

Damian did not know how it was possible but he lowered his guard enough to get caught.

"What are you doing?" Brown choked out after they stared at each other for a long moment.

"It does not concern you–"

"You're rummaging through my wardrobe, not many things concern me more and also, that's frickin creepy don't do it to anyone outside of the family"

She did have a point however he was not convinced it would be the correct approach if he shared his plan. Father's wards (even unofficial like Brown) tended to make assumptions and overreact based on these conjectures. Dani wasn't easy to scare off but he didn't want to check if his family would manage. They often did things thought to be impossible.

He tried to get away but the blonde stood fiercely in a door, leaving the window as the only way out. He wasn't this desperate. Yet.

Girl looked more and more angry at his silence. He had to give her some answers.

Now that he actually considered it, she could be a useful asset. She was far better versed in women's fashion and if he phrased it correctly, he wouldn't even need to bribe her. Question was, how should he phrase it?

"I have an acquaintance- I have a friend," he corrected himself "from the animal shelter I volunteer at. She mentioned wanting to try out more 'girlish style' and asked for my opinion. I wanted to see if you had any clothes that would fit her. She is smaller than me so I thought that whatever I take, it wouldn't be missed." 

Brown grinned with an unsettling gleam in her eyes. He suddenly regretted opening his mouth if not coming to this room in the first place. 

"Say no more, I have a plan Demon Child"

HALLOWEEN  WAS  SUPPOSED  TO  BE  spooky  yet  rae  looked  stunning  in  her  chosen  costume.  sapphire  zipped  up  her  dress,  and  looked  at  her  through  the  mirror.  ❝we  don‘t  have  to.  plus,  arriving  late  is  an  opportunity  to  have  people‘s  eyes  on  us.❞  she  winked  at  the  redhead  playfully.  hearing  her  next  request,  she  contemplated  on  how  to  make  that  mark.  ❝i‘ll  have  to  bite  your  neck  slightly  to  serve  as  a  guide  for  the  marks.❞

the redhead, ever enchanted by the allure of vampire aesthetics, chose to embody one of dracula’s brides, carefully fitting fangs over her teeth while sapphire helped zip up her dress. “in case it’s not obvious, i’m not usually one for parties, so i wasn’t sure if we had to arrive exactly on time.” if not for sapphire, rae would have gladly spent the evening curled up on her couch, watching a movie. “oh, could you add a bloody bite mark on my neck?”

do you think they bought it?

you don't look like you love me. you look like you're constipated.

way to lay it on thick. i think you might have done too good of a job.

pretend to laugh at one of my jokes.

i guess i didn't expect you to dress up for this. i'm impressed.

you know, if you treated me like that on the regular, i might actually start falling in love with you.

they have to believe we're together. how hard can it be?

quick, pretend like you're about to kiss me.

you clearly care more about the tiny appetizers than you do me.

i'm just here for the free champagne.

you clean up nice.

that honestly wasn't as bad as i thought it would be.

they're looking over here. quick, say something funny.

A pack of crying, screaming kids running by catches Maria's attention in an instant. She heads over to where they were running from, only to find another kid and a skeleton man.

Maria's seen skeletons before, sure — ones picked apart by vultures or left to rot in Hell's prisons — but none of them ever walked or talked, much less asked her to help with target practice.

"Sorry, uh, what did you need help with? Something about teachin' the kid to shoot?"

She looks over at the kid — Little Tim? — with concern washed over her face.

@railheist

"Now if you brats don't behave UNCLE SKULL GONNA STEAL YOUR BONESSSSSS."

PROMPTS FOR BEST FRIENDS WHO DON'T REALIZE THEY'RE TOTALLY IN LOVE WITH EACH OTHER *  assorted dialogue, adjust as necessary

what do you mean? i've always been okay with you dating other people. for some reason, this time just feels different.

do you think you could ever see us as more than friends?

i compare anyone i ever date to you. is that weird?

did they actually think we were dating? that's a little strange.

do you get asked a lot if we're a couple?

you're my best friend. i would never want to risk our friendship.

our friendship matters more to me than anything. i don't ever want you to leave my life.

i'll admit. i've started looking at you differently... in a good way.

guess i never realized how beautiful you are.

would you consider this a date?

seeing you with them... it made me so mad. i can't explain the feeling.

i'm afraid i'll lose you. i can't risk it.

you're not just my best friend, you're my... nevermind. forget i said anything.

sooner or later you'll probably realize you've been in love with me this whole time.

i don't want to ruin our friendship. that's the main issue i have.

but what if you're the one for me?

do you believe in soulmates?

no one else compares with you.

of course i care about you. you're my best friend. you always will be.

wow. you look... absolutely breathtaking.

i know i'm not supposed to have feelings for you, but i do.

they said we'd make a cute couple, you know.

if no one asks you, and no one asks me... maybe we could go to the dance together. as friends.

i'm always going to be by your side. that's what best friends do.

i won't let anything happen to you. i promise.

you have no idea the lengths i would go through to keep you safe.

you don't treat anyone else like this. just me.

how long have you had feelings for me?

whatever happens, we can't let this get in the way of our friendship.

what's a kiss between friends?

best friends cuddle. this is normal. this doesn't have to be romantic.

i've always viewed you differently than other people.

you're so special to me, and you don't even realize it.

i've never cared about anyone like i care about you.

i just don't want them to get in the way of our friendship.

when were you going to tell me you were seeing someone? i thought i was the first person you told about that stuff.

don't you get it? they're not you.

i'm not in love with them. i have feelings for someone else, someone i can't have.

would it make things weird between us if i kissed you right now?

no, i'm not staring at your lips. what are you talking about?

my parents keep insisting that we'd make a great couple.

you've always been my first priority.

you said something earlier about the people you love.

could you ever see yourself loving me?

and what about me? do you love me?

maybe we could go on a date sometime. an actual date where i plan nice things and bring you flowers.

i've been in love with you since the day we met. there. i said it. happy now?

"Yeah, he's a hard guy to shop for, isn't it...?" Truthfully, he'd been facing a similar dilemma, himself - feeling half tempted to just get the guy some decent food or supplies, but at the same time he didn't want to come as patronizing or as though he were just taking pity on him. "It's definitely a tough one in my opinion - getting him something he needs versus something he wants. But, maybe the best thing to do - if you can afford it - is get him one of each? Like maybe some new supplies and also some food?"
