❝ What do you mean you don't want to go on the biblical holy ghost hay ride? It looks so promising though. ❞ Jude was picturing it now. The most haunted thing about that ride was going to be the fake rubber snakes they threw from the cornfield, a metaphor for sin being thrown at you from all directions but with the power of faith, you could turn away from it. Unless they actually did dress up as ghosts and haunt the field, then of course he'd be all for it. ❝ Come on, ❞ he said, putting an arm around her shoulders to guide her a different way. ❝ Let's find some caramel apples. ❞

@chaos--mode : “ Could you blink, or something? You’re starting to freak me out. ” ( for your da.v rook verse! )

" What? " He still didn't blink nor move despite responding, part in a daze and part paying very little attention to what was being said to him. Aksel was staring across the table at Lucanis who was paying little mind to him, maybe it was the staring that had forced the crow to turn away and avoid eye contact, if it was he hadn't noticed. " It cannot be just coffee, " Finally he blinked and turned to look at ren. "I have been up for two days straight, he must be slipping something into this. " He swallowed another mouthful of his coffee and then set it down, then finally he turned his head to look at Ren.

He sure as shit looked like he hadn't managed to get any sleep in two ways, but forcing himself to stay up was better than tossing and turning all night as he figured out how the hells they were supposed to beat two gods. Varric had told him he could do it, that was capable but he couldn't believe it or him. " I am hoping if I drink enough I might find the answer to all our problems. " He blinked for a second time. " My fingers are all tingly, you feel that? " He pressed his hand to her cheek.

rook's brows rise quickly before they put  all  their  effort  into  stopping themselves from laughing at such  a  hilarious  concept.  they  also  work  to  mask  their  snicker,  their  lips  pressed  together tightly.

"yes,"  rook  nods  in  mock  seriousness,  blinking  their  shock  away as their tone lowers with severity.  "one  for  sorrow,  two  for  joy,"  they proclaim—and fail  to  mention  the  fact  that  the phrase they  just  quoted  is  typically  reserved for  magpies.  "seeing two  crows  together  at once means  we're  not  currently  on  a  contract.  we  might  just  be  doing  some  light  shopping."

ren sacrificed: All I am anymore is a woman looking for her family. Anybody that gets in the way of that is gonna lose, I'll give you a moment to think about that."

           think about it he does.

           if there's anything peter has learned since this shit-show began, it's that, once you know how, the dead are easy; it's the people you've got to watch out for. they're as tricky and dishonest as they always were, but the end of civilisation as they knew it has given them excuses to indulge in the rotten cores of their hearts.

           peter doesn't have an ego on him either. he knows that he very much works the same— or he would if he had the stones to engage with people. in some regards, the world might be better off for the fact that, when it comes to fight or flight, peter graham will forever choose to take off.

           "i can't tell if you're threatening me personally or not," he utters, deft fingers tightening around the straps of his rucksack. he has a knife to his name. a stick he can give her a poke with if she comes in too close. what exactly is he going to do to her? "...you don't need to. i'm not looking to hurt you— or stick around. i'm just— passing through..."

ren doesn't really take that well to like, that tone (imagined or not). her immediate reaction is to pull back, lip curling into something of a grimace.

"i don't need you to tell me, okay. i'm not one of your little pack, i can take care of myself." and then, cause she doesn't really know when to leave well enough alone, "thanks so much, but you're not my fuckin' babysitter."

"I am not trying to babysit you, trust me, I've got my hands full already in that regard." And against his will, too. No more, thank you very much, let alone a grown woman. Then Steve paused as the rest of her words caught up to his brain. "You... Know? What do you mean you know?"

@chaos--mode said: "Oh, that? Yeah it's just… it's just a little blood…"

the friends of red jenny were a tough and interesting bunch to be around, but the inquisitor considered herself lucky to have had the exposures that they had. it's plain to see that the wisp weaver had endured a great deal despite her youthful features, the scars and burns visible gave her no privacy in that regard. knowing ren's resilience does not stop ellana from the look of worry that sinks into their features, brows knitting closer together and taking a cautious step forward to get a better look at where the blood had begun to stain the front of her blouse. it's not... gushing, at least. healing magic isn't her strongest skillset.

"let's sit down for a moment," she suggested with a certain sternness that indicated she was unlikely to take no for an answer. their pack had some basic medical supplies, they believed enough to get her a little more stabilized, if it wasn't worse than it initially looked. "you've already done more than enough to help today. you can take a breather."

        “oh, i—well...i don't,” elspeth says, seeming perhaps a little surprised by the question. “i just sort of...feel them until i don't anymore. or i try to.” her brows draw together sympathetically. “if i don't do that, it only hurts me more in the long run.”

❝ I don't know if getting dressed up in a sexy costume is really my thing. I'm fine with just wearing something like that. ❞ She pointed at this basic hippie costume they happened to pass, her eyes averting from anything too revealing. She didn't have the confidence for those kinds of outfits. Did she even have the body?

@ren sacrificed: “ I'm financially at a stage where I understand why people do fraud. ”

                        In spite of himself, Peter winces. "Yeesh— THAT bad?"

Nobody really knows about the true state of his bank account; that he's a millionaire on account of the idyllic house he'd sold and the will he'd acquired upon the untimely deaths of both his parents. It isn't something that Peter likes to bring up, both from a humility standpoint ( it wasn't as if he earned that money, he was simply in the midst of a tragedy whilst belonging to a famous artist and a psychiatrist ) and a very typical lack of trust, but if the people around him need help...

"Well, y'know, if— if you need a hand..." He fumbles a moment, as if searching for an appropriate excuse as to why he'd have a 'little' extra to his name this month. "I'm just saying that my gig at the restaurant went really well. I got some real generous tips for my performance, so I have a bit to spare if you really need it."

┊ ┊ ┊ ┊ ☪︎ . *. ⋆ ANY SENSE OF CONFUSION, any sense of bewilderment that the other expressed in his movements or features ran by jonathan completely undetected. had he been perhaps a tiny bit more AWAKE, perhaps he'd be able to catch himself, to realize what it was he'd done and have the decency to take an awkward moment of silence.

they both deserved it, given after what had happened to them both. well, mainly steve; the worst that had gone on for jonathan was learning that his feelings were unrequited. a bummer, but better to RESPECT the other's feelings. a sentiment he'd always tried to live by.

steve interrupts what would become that awkward moment of silence, and jonathan would've thanked god or whatever, but instead he sits up and gives a nice long STRETCH, arms above his head, before slumping back against the couch with a thick sigh.

❝ sure, i'll have some, ❞ he responds, his voice slightly dry && raspy from sleep. he'd never been much of a morning person, but he felt well-rested enough to at least start to get moving. a bit FUZZY, thanks to the edible he'd taken before bed, but rested.

@chaos--mode: " it's a good look on you. you should get covered in blood more often. " ( more inquisition era! ) from [ x ]

A SHEEPISH LAUGHTER FILLS THE silence following the comment. . . compliment ?? he is, well and truly, COVERED in blood. wiping some of it from his mouth with the back of his hand, he returns his greatsword to the holster on his back. ‴ i daresay i find myself covered in blood a concerning amount of time. ‴

        “far be it from me to underestimate anyone.” she of all people knows how little one's first impressions of a person can mean. even elspeth herself seems to be only relatively sweet and docile until you press her to a fight. “you have nothing to prove to me, i assure you.”
