[badvlantex]

TJ had always portrayed his boss as some gigantic asshole in control of everything, when in reality, the boss was just his supervisor, a low-level man who worked with the OEA but also saved TJ and his career more times than anyone could count. TJ should have thanked him, but he hadn't.

TJ knew he should have gone back and made contact with him at the OEA's gala. There were several things that TJ should and could have done that night, but he hadn't. As soon as he left, he turned and didn't look back. The one thing that bothered him in the days after was that he couldn't contact him. TJ assumed that the guy was caught up in the madness of it, but the question was, did he even survive? TJ was running scared because he always knew that without that guy to blame, he was screwed. He couldn't blame anyone; he couldn't lean on anyone. He was on his own.

Before long, TJ found himself being called into the chief's office, which was already a bad sign and something he couldn't avoid. He knocked on the door before nervously stepping into the office and waiting to be addressed.

Romantic Intentions - The Boys;

Name: Darius Shelters (Main FC: Andrew Lee Potts / Alternate FC: Joseph Gordon Levitt)

Prefers a submissive partner

Bisexual (preference for men)

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

Romance Probability: Low

Key Notes: Darius is a guy who is hard to get close to, he can be very aloof and standoffish, he doesn't hold back often or try to tiptoe around feelings. At least, initially, for those who have managed to break through to him see a different side of Darius. If your muse is interested in him, expect him to be an iceberg that will take quite a long time to thaw.

Name: Sean O'Hare (FC: Dylan O'Brien)

Prefers a dominant partner (especially one that gives him a chase)

Homoromantic (strong preference for men, however, there has been a female or two that has peaked his interest but it is very hard for him to have a woman hold his interest)

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

Romance Probability: High (Men) Low (Women)

Key Notes: Sean is charming. Very charming. It is definitely an attribute that ties in closely with his power over the emotions. He is capable of being very empathetic, and is very perceptive in almost any situation. His biggest downfall is that even though he is easy to get he is very, very hard to keep. If your muse isn't looking for anything serious, Sean is ideal once an emotional attachment is made but if your muse is looking to have him for the long haul, expect the Hare to be taking off unprovoked without reason - he will return, of course, eventually.

Name: Alexander Heart (FC: Luke Evans)

Has no preference over dominant or submissive, he takes a lover at face value.

Pansexual (He is attracted to the heart)

Alignment: Lawful Good

Romance Probability: High

Key Notes: Alexander is one of the most loyal and noble men your muse will ever meet. He is the kind of guy that still believes in holding a door open for others, showing genuine compassion for others, and in giving second chances. In that, however, Alexander is noble and good to a fault as it opens him up for being back-stabbed or quite literally, falling prey to future consequences at his own expense. If your muse is looking for someone who is the noble Knight-In-Shining-Armor kind of guy, Alexander is that man.

Name: Five (aka Jacob) - (FC: Cameron Monaghan)

Has no real preference, he is a "switch" himself

Homosexual

Alignment: Lawful Neutral (He made an oath to be a personal guard to whoever holds the crown of Hearts. Something he always regrets whenever William is in power)

Romance Probability: High, with a caveat (no matter who he does end up with, he is metaphorically a "slave" to the King/Queen he serves.)

Key Notes: Five is an adventurous, outgoing guy. When he is off duty he is the club hopper, the drug taker, the 'will go anywhere and do pretty much anything' guy. He is more likely to lean on the side of good intentions, he is kind and thoughtful. However, his greatest downfall is of course, his sense of duty to the crown which will always hold a risk of interfering with any relationships he may have. If your muse has a soft spot for the red heads (lol) and thnks he is worth the risk, Five is always open for potential relationships.

==

William has been left off of this list because trust me.... as a mun, I wouldn't recommend going down that road.

Darius Anderson is better at sharing than we thought. His new boyfriend, Del Monico, moved in and is apparently tag teaming Charlie Richardson.

Seems like the Rose Sisters simply can’t be satisfied by one man, though, as a shock to all of us, Charlie seems to be fine with only two whereas we’ve heard that Marley needs three. Though, this set up is much more pleasing for my taste, please tell me you guys filmed the tag team.

tryin harder to write every day

first part of a free write set in a shared universe, heartwarming religious tale of a heretic discovering faith uwu

i.

Three weeks after her disappearance into the margh, without a soul sent to search for her, the heretic village Sardis declared Marina Swope to be dead. A local girl training under the art of herbalism, she often ventured into the saltwater wetlands to gather plants for her practice. Vital plants bloomed in rot-fall and it would take the entire season to collect enough.

Usually, someone went with her. Margh flora had its ways of eating you if you weren’t careful. Poisonous flowers on the edge of the village’s safe territory, that’s what they said she had left alone for, but no trace of her could be found within or outside their boundaries when others had left for unrelated duties since then.

Her brother, Darius, was the first to bring it up with the village’s young priest. Saul Vanier spared him a curt negative before throwing him out. The second attempt came soon after.

“She’s been missing for weeks now, and we haven’t found her. Can’t you send someone to find her? I’ll go if that’s what it takes, I don’t do much here anyway, just let me-”

“No,” Saul drawled, rolling a stick of tobacco between his lips. “Didn’t I tell you that the first fucking time? What are you, stupid? Are you stupid, munga?” “Please…”

Saul huffed, spitting before saying, “She’s dead. Get the fuck over it. Now leave.”

His heart beating faster than a rabbit against a hunting hound, Darius stood his ground. “No! Saul, please. Sh-”

“What. The fuck.” Darius reacted a moment too late before a heavy fist smashed into his face and he fell, the priest’s boot crushing down onto his stomach and threatening to push down further. “What the fuck did you just say to me. Do you think you’re strong? Think you can say that to me?”

When Saul spat in his face, it tasted of tobacco and old meat. “I’m a beast of mercy. You wanna act like some faithful munga, chasing after your sister? I’ll gut you like one and eat your heart.”

The boot lifted from his chest and Darius choked on the sudden intake of breath.

“Now. Get the fuck out of my sight.”

At first chance, he slipped away into the margh. The black waters welcomed him like an old friend, despite his relative lack of familiarity with the gaping pathways of trees compared to the others of his village. Day or night, the margh remained entrenched in the same darkness; the cycle of time held no meaning here. He himself had never seen the sun, had never particularly cared to see the sun, perhaps feared the sun in some deep part of him.

Mud clung to him like tar. His sweat dripped freely in the sticky heat, sometimes falling into his eyes and stinging until being washed away by hurriedly blinked tears. The heat, the stinging insects, the endless water - he wasn’t sure how long he could take this.

The fear of failure bothered him more than anything. It meant Saul’s wrath, something he would rather perish to wild beasts than face. And it meant the unknown fate of his sister.

He’d rather retrieve her bones than not know. Death wasn’t such a bad fate out here.

With no idea of where to search, only following a lantern-lit path used by hunters to reach the munga-infested waters richest with prey, he didn’t know how far he’d traveled or where he might end up. Someone, anyone, else would have a better chance of finding her. Chances were that he’d end up in the belly of a hungry salt-boar, or flesh-eating fireflies would leave his bones scattered at the bottom of a pool.

Fuck. Bad train of thought. He concentrated instead on Marina, on the scent of herbs in their shared shack and the feeling of comfort that came from knowing someone else always had his back, even against Saul.

There wasn’t so much as a ripple in the water to announce the looming danger. The air grew ripe with the stink of rot and nothing dared touch the waters near him, not even the shallow path he followed. The still water exploded so suddenly as to convince him that his heart had stopped, and a gaping maw erupted in the chaos.

Shock kept him frozen in place. The munga fell onto him, the tip of the margh gator’s jaw easily gripping his entire torso and piercing through to his internal organs. Sightless, misshapen white eyes lolled about in their sockets. It hissed as it tore through his flesh, sounding something between the emerging hiss of steam and the sharp whistle of wind in a broken body, and he couldn’t find the air to scream in return.

His vision failed and he became death in those final moments; softly at ease and unknowing of the mechanisms of life and existence.

“Awaken.”

The first breath manifested as knives being hurled through his lungs. He coughed, something hot and sticky bubbling from his throat and dribbling down his face. This felt wrong.

“See.”

He opened his eyes, not voluntarily, even the soft flickers of bioluminescent insects straining his eyes. His vision blurred. Sprawled out onto his back on solid ground, a heavy yellow weight kept him pinned to the ground.

A span of time stretching into years passed before he vision cleared. A mangy yellow dog sat on his chest, its mass crushing whatever bones were left unbroken. However horrible the pain must have been, he couldn’t feel it through his numbed flesh. It stared unblinkingly back at him and quivered with anticipation.

“You meant to find you sister.” Its jaws clicked together in sharp movements he supposed were meant to imitate speech. The words were phrased as a statement, not a question. He couldn’t find the air to speak regardless.

“Instead I have found you. A heretic in the country of Camargh, the sleeping kingdom of the Pus Which Swallows. For what purpose do you draw breath, you who have not yet tasted the flesh of false gods? Where is your ectasy?

“Do not presume to answer me. You have nothing worth saying; not yet. I have come to command upon you a holy pilgrimage. Go now to Arlesburgh and seek the Vitreous Humor. There you will find answers, one of which concerns your sister.”

The beast stepped off him. No pain spiked at its movement, and he did not find traces of wounds when he held his arms tight against his newly naked body.

And it left him wide-eyed and lost in the depths of Camargh.

character info sheet. (Trigger Warnings!)

Name. Darius Shelters

Name meaning. Upholder of good, but lets face it, the meaning behind his name has no reflection on who he is as a person.

Alias.( ses ). Dare.

two picture's you like of your character.

three headcanons you never told anyone.

i: He was abandoned by his birth parents when he was born in Wonderland, unaware until just recently he had a twin sister who his parents took with them to another realm. He was taken in by an orphanage until he ran away when he was 14 years old, it was then when his life literally went to hell for years after

ii) Shortly after taking to the streets and getting into all the bad wonders Wonderland had offered, Darius first discovered how powerful his telekinesis was when he was barely 14 years old. He was ganged up by a group of men who corned him in an alley and tried to brutally rape him. They did not succeed, because he had unleashed his abilities, and killed them before they had the chance. Not many people know this about his past, not even his twin sister.

iii) After the brutal killing of the men, he was taken in by a man named Demetrius (muse of @saidthecaterpillar) for a short while before he stumbled upon Alexander Heart who took him under his wing for a time before Darius was ready to branch out on his own, eventually becoming a wonder dealer himself and opening up his own "tea" shop where he sells the wonders (aka emotions) to the denizens of Wonderland.

three things your character likes to do in their free time.

i : Running his "teashop". ii. Playing Cards iii. Tea Time

three people your character loves.

Asher (muse of @thornstocutyouwith) Ah yes, that damn Cheshire cat. These two have been through a lot, in their verse their story was definitely a slow burn but Asher is one of the very few people that Darius has connected with on an emotional and physical level. It takes a lot, and I do mean a lot to get Darius's heart, much less his attention, and Asher is someone he dearly loves and devotes himself to. (Because lets face it, Darius isn't an easy person to love.)

Darla - They have a lot to catch up on considering up until just recently they were complete strangers, however, he knew from the moment he met her that she was blood. He does want to know her more and has grown protective of her in the short time she has stayed in Wonderland to get to know him. It is a process that is going to take time, but he holds a kinship with her that only a twin sibling could.

Gabe. (muse of @saidthecaterpillar) Gabriel and Darius have a long history, dating back to when he was much younger. Their connection was instant, and has managed to stay strong throughout the years they have been a couple. In their verse, Gabriel has always been Darius's anchor and he would quite literally choose saving his life over the life of even his own sister. (except for one little hiccup where he left Wonderland with Alice, but he had been expecting Gabe to follow. When Gabe didn't, he tried to make things work in Alice's Wonderland but knew he never loved her, Gabe was the main reason he returned.)

two things your character regrets.

i) In the verse with Gabe (muse of @saidthecaterpillar) his main regret has always been leaving Wonderland with Alice.

ii) In the verse with Asher (muse of @thornstocutyouwith) his main regret has been allowing things to become so jaded between him and their daughter, Sage.

three phobia's (Fears) your character has.

i) Losing his telekinesis ability and thus not being able to protect the people he actually cares about

ii) Losing his significant other in one form or another

iii) Being buried alive.

"So.... I guess this would be a bad time to ask you if you've seen my sister?---"

He knew Ariana, but he didn't know know her. Quite in fact, she had known Darla more than she had known him, because Darla had certainly talked about her in the past. The twin sister of Lupin, how similar she and his own twin sister were.

--- it was almost uncanny. While Darla had control over the weather, the ability to talk to and understand animals and could even fly, Ariana, from what he had been told, was a very powerful manipulator of light and a healer. "Seriously though, are you in some kind of trouble Ariana? Because if you need any help, all you have to do is ask. Got a soft spot' for you, because my sister' likes you. Just don't tell anyone, I don't want that kind of attention."

"Oh, for the love of ---" If Darius was irritated before, he was even more irritated now as he watched (and heard) Peter changing into a monster.

--- This was what he got for trying to help someone he didn't even know. An annoying little brat of a boy who kept going on about his lack of a phone, insisting that he helped and now he was having to deal with this? It might have been better if Darius had walked away right from the start but no, --- he blamed his sister's influence.

If this had been Wonderland, there would have been several people who could have helped take this beast down. Layla, whose power of suggestive voice could have confused the beast, his sister Darla who could have turned the ground underneath it to thick mud to immobilize it, Asher who could have -- damn, did he have to think to about that damn cat? He was missing him right now, dare he say it?

Either way, as the boy told him to run, Darius had done that, but not before using his telekinesis on everything within sight that he could move while try to focus on putting as much distance between him and the monster as possible --- vehicles, mostly, garbage bins, it was a damn good thing Darius was quick on his feet.

Flash stares at the other, making a face that looks as if he is in disbelief! He looked away "Yeah, because phones are important, everyone has them!? Why don't you?" He huffed, annoyed "Dude, whatever, just come help-" He figured someone as old as his guy at least could be of help in some way, right? Not be completely useless.

When Darius told him that mouth-to-mouth wasn't the same as kissing "You got no idea how ugh- That is…" He was not going to put his lips on Peter Parkers! But Peter seemed to be breathing, despite what Darius was telling him to do. Flash was conflicted, though. He couldn't let Peter die, right? No way! Even if the other was frustrating, he didn't deserve to actually die.

Wincing at that he moved to push himself back up "We…uh, aren't friends. We just go to college together…And high school. And middle school…And we used to play together as kids." Flash muttered off his eyes locking onto Peter who was moving…strangely "What…why is he moving like that.." Peter was twitching, his body moving awkwardly till he was sitting up.

Noticing that a black liquid like thing was starting to inch along Peters body he pulled away, something in his gut telling him to get away from Peter "Are… you okay Peter?" Ignoring Peter for a moment he looked over at Darius "Hey, you saved his life. You get your reward from him!" Pointing toward the other teenager, he continued to back off as Peter made weird noises.

Peters bone's seemed to crack as something in him appeared to pull them back, or his healing factor was doing its job…loudly. He suddenly looked toward Flash before looking toward Darius, lifting an almost clawed-looking hand up, now covered in that black gooey stuff that was spreading over his body, some white markings formed on the other's chest, almost looking like a spider.

Getting up Flash turned and started to run away as the teeth on the mask covering Peter's face began to sharpen and a long, unrealistic tongue rolled out, whipping around as if tasting the air before the white nothingness covering Peter's eyes locked onto Darius, and he viciously leaped toward the older man. "Dude it's time to run!" Flash calls back as he runs away.

Her punch only hit air, of course it only hit air, she wasn't a fighter, she wasn't even anybody special.There was absolutely nothing special about Alice, she just ended up in this place one day, met a guy who she thought loved her and finally decided to come back to Wonderland to give him a piece of her mind. Now she was here, being rough handled by some asshole on a power trip, an asshole who caused her to wince as he grabbed her wrist roughly and yanked her arm down.

She hadn't said anything as she bit back the tears forming her eyes the moment he grabbed her jaw and forced her to look at him. She would spit on him if she knew she could get away. "Truce? You want to call a truce? You are the one beating up on me here." There was perhaps one advantage she had over Kai, and that was the advantage of knowing where she was, she had known Wonderland, she had known who and what to watch for - bloody hell was she wishing for a Jabberwocky to wander by right then.

There was however another person that had. Another person that was undetectable to the two humans that shouldn't have been there in the first place. This particular person had just happened to have lived nearby - close enough nearby that she had heard the commotion and came to check on what was happening --- in her dormouse form.

Layla had keep a safe distance, she didn't have to be close for her sensitive ears to hear as clearly as if she was hiding in the grass right beside them. She had picked up on most of the conversation, putting two and two together, after all - she might not have met Alice in person before, but she certainly had heard of her and she had certainly heard who she had connections with. So, while Kai and Alice were having their "friendly" little chat, she had gone off to the Diamond Kingdom, not stopping until she had ended up at Darius's teashop.

==

"Y-your oyster is h-here." Layla had stood in the doorway of Darius's shop, moving aside as one of Darius's regulars brushed past her, holding a vial of emotion in his clenched hand.

"My oyster?" There was no way she could be talking about Alice. Right?

Layla had swallowed roughly as she nodded. "Y-yes, A-A-lice, she is here." Layla had shifted uncomfortably, forcing herself to calm down so she could form a sentence in one breath instead of stuttering it out. "I saw her. She is in the fields with another oyster, but he, he has hurt her. She -- she is in big trouble, Darius."

A heavy sigh left Darius's lips as he rubbed his head. Now, while it was true, Alice and him were hardly on friendly terms, barely even speaking ones, he was probably the reason she was even in Wonderland again and although he wasn't particularly fond of her, he didn't want to see anything happen to her either.

"This oyster you speak of, is he powerful?" He had contemplated telling Asher, informing him of what was going on. Now, granted, Darius was a powerful man himself. His telekinesis was a strong asset, not to mention his ability to throw a punch and nullify powers. Unlike Alice, he was a match for Kai.

Layla had nodded. "I be-believe so. The Oracle, sh-she appeared"

"The ORACLE? No shit."

"Yes, I only caught the tail end of it but she forbid him to use his magic and I think - I think she put a lock on his powers. I-I can't say for certain, I didn't approach them."

Well, that had been enough to go on as Darius stood up from his desk. He didn't have to send word to Asher, Asher had his ways of knowing exactly where he was anyway. "I'll go. I'll tell her to go back home, hopefully I get there before he hurts her more than he already has."

==

Meanwhile, back in the field, Alice was stuck between a rock and hard place. Any sane person would have probably already broken down into tears or tried to run away, but Alice wasn't exactly "all there" herself and while she would have been better off pleading with him to stop, surely, all she had done was stare at him as he applied more pressure to her delicate wrist.

"You're going to break my wrist if you keep doing this. Like it or not, you need me if you ever want to get back home, asshole, and I'm going to be less inclined to be your friend and get you out of this if you break my wrist in the process."

Alice, of course, had no idea who Bonnie was but she was getting sick and tired of being compared to her. "And last time I checked I'm not Bonnie, am I?" While Alice was waiting for him to let go of her hand, her dark eyes were blown wide when she saw the threads of darkness stirring all around him. "I - I thought she forbid your magic, how are you -- how are you still doing that?"

Lowering his hand as another had pressed against his back, Kai felt the magic draining, an unamused look on his face as he hears the favoritism already drift out of the person behind him. Turning his head slightly me nodded "Yeah, yeah, yeah. I get it." Eye rolling, he smirked down at Alice. If his taking of magic was that strong, then there must have not been so much magic to go around in this 'Wonderland'. Kai laughed, saving that thought to memory. This place must have been weak if he could be a threat that quickly.

As Alice pushed his leg out of the way he was contemplating giving her a good kick to the chest after. But decided against it in the end as he was still contemplating all the other context of what just happened. Mostly who this woman was that just took away the power, and what authority they had. Turning a bit he stared at the spot they should have been "Hm. I'll be keeping an eye out for her." Looking back as Alice moved to punch him in the face he stepped to one side, grabbing her wrist and yanking her down by it "Watch it, wouldn't want you hurting yourself okay?"

Just because he had no magic, doesn't mean he couldn't still fucking kill her with his bare hands, as she was still a human female, in the end. His grip tightening then he takes his other hand, griping her jaw "If I'm that much of an asshole, so are you, right? Because you were about ready to do some shady shit the moment you got out of here. I've seen that look on my own family's face my entire life." Smiling, he continued to tighten his hand on her wrist, applying pressure in his thumb, hoping eventually to break a bone.

"Now, how about we call a truce. Before it ends badly for you?" Kai offered, he wasn't going to waste energy on people who weren't his family, if he didn't have to. But for some fucking reason, people just kept getting involved in matters they didn't understand, or otherwise, kept stepping in his way when they should have minded their god damn business " You know. I'm not really that terrible of a guy…I'm sure you'd be the same if you were in my shoes. Let's be friends, hm?" He clenched his hand on her jaw, pulling her close "No backstabsies, okay? I have had enough of that, from my bff Bonnie." As this conversation was going on, threads of darkness stuck up from the ground, swishing around, and growing up behind him like twisted horrific flowers, slithering gently along Kai's shoulders, quietly and touchlessly enveloping him without his notice, from it, light started to be drained from his body.
