Some silly little colored sketches that I’ve been sitting on for a bit, they’re just some of the sketches I’ve done while trying to get my groove back :} Messy Donovan and King as well as the little family of James, Fox, and Jonna :D

[THE FOLLOWING MORNING...]

The weekly team meeting began after the crew had their breakfast.

It was a small meeting and the base was relatively quiet-- non-essential research teams were either well on their way home the prior month, weeks before Longest Night and the New Year, or back at the main, larger research base--or one of the Prydainian Navy's research ships--rather than spend the rest of winter in this particular outpost.

Despite the serious nature of a skeleton-crew meeting, the Captain's introductory remarks had been rudely interrupted...

-----

FRANCIS: --One of you: Take Frankie back to his spot downstairs so we can resume this meeting.

JAMES: Sorry, Captain. None of us has the heart.

ARTHUR: I dunno Sirs, I think Frankie has something to say.

FRANCIS: Does he, now? Let's hear him then.

EVERYONE: [EXPECTANT SILENCE]

FRANKIE: ... Meow.

THOMAS: See, Captain? This cat here is a valuable contributor to our team.

FRANCIS: Why don't you train him to be your replacement, then, Thomas? Seeing as you're willing to vouch for him.

THOMAS: A fine idea, Captain. I'll ask him.

THOMAS, LEANING IN: Frankie, would you like to have my job?

FRANKIE: Meow!

THOMAS, LOOKING TO FRANCIS: Sorry, Captain. He says 'no.'

If you think I'm going to write a dialogue-heavy meeting scene in prose, you're outta your damn mind. <3

It was a miracle Drew had any swimwear with her when she got into town, but thankfully she did for days just like this. When she saw James but noticed he hadn’t seen her, she smirked and asked some kids nearby if she could borrow their bucket, immediately filling it with lake water and then sneaking up behind him to dump it all on his head. “Gotcha!” she laughed loudly. “Oh no, I got that pretty mane of yours all wet,” she teased.

❄️ - our muses get some fresh air from the celebrations together

"It was getting crowded in there, huh?" Lucy piped up when she came outside of the party's venue to get some air and she spotted James. "I see you could use a breather like myself. You having a good night, Jay?"

Who: @jamesffleamont Where: Diagon Alley

Tiberius was always the type to wait last minute to run errands when he needed things for his home. Today had been no different, though the list had been longer than usual this time. Plans were moving ahead with Cressida, and he wanted to make his home welcoming and homey for her when she finally joined him. He worried about how things would be after the initial move. He knew it wouldn't be easy for her to leave her family, and he just wanted to be there to support her in whatever way he could.

Hands full of bags, he made his way towards the Leaky Cauldron, desperate for a drink, when he spotted the familiar face. "Oi, are you that famous Quidditch player? Plotter or something like that?" There was an amused grin on his lips as he drew up near James. Tib had been in his last year when James had come to Hogwarts but he'd always liked him. James had always reminded him of himself at that age. And when James had graduated they'd remained good friends. And of course Tiberius caught one of his games whenever he could. "I thought I passed a group of fawning starstruck girls back there. Flashed them a smile did you?"

where: frank's birthday party who: @jamesffleamont

“I hope we’re not too old for parties.” The witch called out as James took the seat across her, leaning forward on the table to place a kiss on her friend’s cheek. “It’s been so long since we’ve had one, should we drink, do karaoke, something else?” She asked, waving her hand so that the barmaid would come take an order for them.

[lucie-newman]

Where: Lou's apartment Who: @james-adams

"It's like homework," Lou said, kicking her feet up on the coffee table. (One foot still stuffed into her black and yellow compression socks.) "Because I was fucking stellar at that in high school." It felt natural by now to have James over, to let the spill of a workday drop over into her apartment. She'd pulled out treats from the pantry before relaxing and bringing up her Lamaze class and the playlists they were supposed to be making. "And I just know everyone's going to show up with these Bryan Adams "Everything I do" songs. And I've got," she looked at her list, "Metallica's 'Enter Sandman.'"

"Alright, dude, let's see it." Britt was already rolling up James's sleeve and checking to see how her last piece had held up. A satisfied grin spread across her lips. "Nice. Looks perfectly healed," she noted as her thumb grazed over the skin. "And that line work?" She paused, bringing her free hand to her mouth with a 'chef's kiss' motion. "Fucking crisp. Am I good, or am I good?" It was at that point that a normal person would've removed their hand, but it remained there and curled around his arm. "So, when are we booking you in next?" @jamesxgarrett

Midtown Village ; Bar X w/ @jamesmitchel

After a particularly dull week, Sebastian found himself in need of a drink. He was already heading to Bar X to meet up with a few friends and extended the invite to James since she lived in the area and Sebastian had always been one for company of any kind. Breaking away from his group of friends, Sebastian spotted the familiar blonde at the bar and headed over. Setting his nearly empty beer on the counter and flagging the bartender for another, Sebastian averted his attention to his friend, "You made it, you must really miss me," He joked with a smug look across his face. "So this really is the best Midtown has to offer, huh," he half teased with an inkling of a grin beginning to make itself known on his features, "Let me buy you a drink and you can tell me how wrong I am."

EVERYONE (BUT THE CAPTAIN): [LAUGHING]

FRANKIE: [NOW BORED, LEAVES ANYWAY]

FRANCIS, TRYING TO HIDE HIS AMUSEMENT: Alright, alright, we've had our fun.

FRANCIS: Now then! Listen up--

FRANCIS: --The holidays are behind us, but that doesn't mean we can afford to let ourselves relax.

FRANCIS: Rising temperature averages have made the winters here harsher, in some ways--unpredictable.

FRANCIS: This is why the Powers-That-Be have elected to withdraw most of our personnel from outposts as remote as our little slice of paradise, save for a select few, where necessary.

FRANCIS: As you're all already aware, this team of just a dozen will maintain the Cabot Sound outpost until summer. Commander Murray, I give the floor to you to explain our plan of attack to help us avoid preventable, horrific tragedy.

JAMES: Thank you, Captain. A very cheerful, yet sobering reminder of the devouring, unfeeling void that awaits us all.

FRANCIS: I'm always happy to motivate.

JAMES: As the Captain said, we all need to be extremely diligent. That means no skipping meals, no skipping sleep, and attendance at daily meetings is required.

JAMES: The rota for duties will be updated and posted here every week at 18:00 sharp every Sunday. If you have any questions or complaints, bring them first to your immediate superior or to myself or the Captain.

JAMES: Morale is also paramount, as is health. Physicals will be conducted every fortnight and they are mandatory. Any small injury or condition could become something deadly, and anything you hide from us might come back to hurt yourself and others later.

JAMES: That should be all. Did I leave anything out, Captain? We already spoke to the other shift--

FRANCIS: No, Commander, you've covered the whole of it.

JAMES: Any parting words, Sir?

FRANCIS: Indeed, James--

FRANCIS: To all of you: May we all have a smooth winter and a bright spring ahead of us. ... Don't fuck this up. You're all dismissed.

FRANCIS: And-- Lieutenant Kirkland?

ARTHUR: Yes, Captain?

FRANCIS: I know you've already pulled an extra shift. I can't have our Engineer swaying on his feet.

ARTHUR: But, Sir--

FRANCIS: You look like shit. Go to bed--that's an order.

ARTHUR: Yes, Sir.

Not changing format or anything, but for dialogue-heavy scenes, this is just way easier.

Time to get to know our characters a little bit more, yeah? Yeah!!!

@detectivegoldstein

Amy wasn’t usually one to go over to see someone uninvited, but after chatting and smoking with James and then hearing about what happened to him, she found herself actually being concerned for him. “Hey, I heard you had a little rough patch there,” she tried to say casually. “Hope you don’t mind I came by…I think I just wanted to make sure you were still relatively in one piece.”

[erosisms]

History was something that fascinated the young man ever since he was a kid, this being one of the many reasons why he'd chosen to invest into antiquities and choose this particular marketplace for his brand of stores. That's why for most of the free time he had, you'd find Xuan lurking around various Museums, be it art or history ones, meant to satisfy his aesthetic needs, just like on this particular evening. "It's quite an interesting piece, isn't it? Sometimes makes me wonder how they achieved this kind of magnificent outcomes with the rudimentary technologies they had back then." The raven haired commented, speaking to the man who'd been admiring the same piece as him for a while. It was just the two of them in that entire section of the exhibition. [for James, from @phoenix-of-jade ]

"it is, i'm quite fond of pieces from the tang dynasty." james agreed, offering the man beside him a smile as he turned his attention away from the painting. "there were so many advancements in art during that period that it's quite fascinating really. there's a reason it's considered the golden age of art and literature in china." he continued, seemingly an endless fountain of knowledge when it came to history. "it's rare to see a piece from that period in such good shape still, very few works still exist. most of what we do see tend to be copies of the originals instead."
