"I know, I know. That was my bad." And it was on him solely. He knew now that his all or nothing approach to life was drastically misguided, and he just had to hope that he could use any goodwill he still had from before to rebuild his relationships with those he had left behind.

The hug was healing, but it was the attack on his carefully styled to look unstyled hair that made him laugh. "Hey, woah, anything but the hair." He jokes, batting her hand away playfully before he tames his mane.

"I need to make good re-impressions, you're going to have me out here looking disheveled." He says with a good-natured poke to her side of his index finger for good measure.

"Am I taller, or have you shrunk since I've been gone?" As if it could be an accurate measuring took, he held his had to his forehead like it was some sort of salute and mapped a straight line in the air in her direction to measure the difference in their standing heights.

shooting him a knowing look since she was pretty sure he was joking with her, ellie huffed playfully as she remarked, " i'm gonna choose to believe that to make myself feel better after you've dropped off from the face of the earth. " she wasn't trying to make him feel bad or anything since life happens, but she was only expressing her feelings.

at his beckoning, a wide smile slowly unfurled from her lips as she threw her arms around him. " i've missed you so much--it's like you've grown even bigger from the last time i saw you, " eleanor chirped as she pulled away, running her fingers through his tussles before messing them up.

Who: @jordanmorganx and Ellie

Where: their apartment

When: July 2024

The end of her shift meant two things to Ellie. She got to see her fiance Jordan, and she'd get to hug her baby boy Jake. Racing home after a particularly frustrating shift, she sighed after parking her car. She hated taking her work home, rather her emotions from work home with her. But tonight she was all out of sorts and just needed a minute before heading up to their apartment. Approaching the door she could already hear the giggling and the dogs barking before she even entered. Walking inside, she was greeted by the dogs and as she looked further into the apartment she could see where the giggling was coming from. "Hey you," she said to Jordan and Jake, "looks like I missed the fun."

[lottieramirez]

"Damn, girl, you're an easy scare if that got you." Lottie laughed and looked at what Ellie was holding in her hand. An eyebrow raised. "That's very shiny," she pointed out. Not really her thing but she wasn't about to judge anyone on their tumbler choices. "Anyways, are you having a good time? Where's Avery hanging out at?" Lottie looked around in case she missed him somewhere. She'd taken a break from the pride area to come look around at what the rest of the fair had to offer. Also to get some funnel cake because it was a must have. "Want some?" She offered by extending her arm out for her to grab some if she wanted.

starter for: @lottieramirez location: street fair

While her daughter was running around the kids area, Ellie found herself wandering some of the booths in the area looking at all the bits and bobs she wouldn't spend money on because she needed to make sure she had enough to buy Avery a snow cone later. She picked up a little handmade tumbler with glittery words on the side of it and watched it sparkle in the sunshine. She was just about to put it down when she heard her name way too closely behind her and she screamed, spinning around in shock and almost dropping the cup. "Oh my god you scared me." Ellie gasped and put a hand on her chest.

felix's apartment

felix ranstrom and owen hawthorne @secrettyrant

For the briefest of seconds, Felix thought a mirror was suddenly placed behind him as he turned to the quick appearance of Owen. But he immediately tapped the Hawthorne's arm with a laugh. "You didn't see the sign? No politicians. Get out." he clicked his fingers towards the apartment door but then continued to navigate Owen with him to the kitchen. Their friendship probably didn't help the vague whispers of Agneta and Jonas' secret love child rumor. But Felix believed the world would collapse in on itself if there was a Ranthorne child in actual existence. He didn't remember his apartment getting so full either, blinking slightly at the scattering of people throughout. "Wait, has someone texted and said I'm having a...party?" he glanced to Owen, certain he didn't invite the other wolf. "Because I'm not supposed to be. Who...who texted you? Who let you in, actually?"

@girlshunttoo

another damned tourist? they’d gotten rid of most of them thirty years ago but occasionally there is a straggler that needs chasing off. like this one. and brooke knows it all falls on her to get rid of her and as quickly as possible. some of the others would be more inclined to kill the trespasser. brooke chooses not to make herself known - at least not yet - as she follows along behind the living visitor snapping pictures as they wander along the main path.

keeping an eye out for other vengeful spirits she finally reveals herself behind the human as she starts to enter one of the cabins. “you don’t want to go in there.” she walks around in front of them to intercept their entry. that was the cabin they tortured ramirez in and the other ghosts would surely get angry if someone interrupted that. probably even angry enough to kill the intruder “you really should leave. this place is filled with nothing but death.” the ghost does not want to see another living soul fall victim to redwood and it’s eternal entrapment. “let me walk you out.”

"I'm probably going to sound like a crazy person right now, especially given how I've been telling you that I was looking forward to this.." Anthea let out a nervous giggle as she dropped her head in embarrassment as she twiddled with her thumbs. The normal confidence she normally showed had disappeared the moment she stepped into his place. "I'm nervous.. what if I'm not any good on camera? What if it's not everything you want it to be, and I'm actually awful?" / @writermuses

@ofwrxth tammie x nora - stables

-

"Oh, shit!" Tammie's voice sounded from inside the barn, moments before the doors were busted open by the cantankerous mare who was bucking and whinnying. Then it was the Jones' laughter next as she ran to follow and wave down her sister. "Get her, Nora!" she called for attention, as if the unruly horse kicking towards her twin wasn't enough of an attention grabber already. Tammie could have scuttled a little faster if she wanted too, but even manning stables in cold Canada felt like a small piece of home and she knew that her sister would have the horse under control in no time. "I told you, she hates when I gotta clean out her shoes. I think she's ticklish, but she seems to like when its you." Tammie shrugged, deciding to never try and understand horses but accept they often had a mind of their own. She respected that, actually. "Maybe we gotta name her Quintina Tarentina. Y'know...foot things?"

⤷ ✧ @starstcff, continued.

it's not that she's ungrateful — it's really not. staying here, even with newfound friends ( dangerous mystical creatures out of legend though they may be ), was the last thing she wanted, truly. a whole world beyond boiled down to... this. the bounds of a network of caverns had fully explored in mere days.

so, no, she's not ungrateful, but gratitude takes second place to indignation. if he's safe, if ship and crew were safe, then sailing right back into the trouble you escaped in the first place to rescue her... that's the lives of a hundred people.

he's right, though, and no amount of blame or chiding can undo his choices, or eliminate her undeniable relief, the way worry and frustration ( carefully ignored ) uncoil. they got through alive. she might not have to remain here forever.

❛ no, I need my breath for moving. ❜ she can't blame him aloud, at least, nor in honesty focus on it silently if she's to be present and aware. ❛ but I can blame you later. acceptable? ❜

probably not. it's not like he'll want to hear it any time, now or later, so she doesn't give him time to respond. ❛ we're getting my harp on the way, because I'm not leaving here it. ❜ if she'd thought there was even the remotest chance, she'd have kept it with her at all times, but even she, whimsical though she was wont to be, hadn't expected.

‘You’ll know her when you see her.’

At the time, she had no idea what the hell that was supposed to mean, but now? Now she got it. The woman waiting was far more stunning than anyone sitting in a hospital cafeteria had a right to be. 

Lustrous hair, mile long legs peeking out from underneath the little two top table— Bek smoothed her palms over wrinkled scrub pants and, for a second, wished she would’ve taken two seconds to fix the limp, falling bun on top of her head. 

This was not the sort of planner Regina usually hired to see over hospital events. For one thing, she was several decades shy of seventy. For another, she actually looked like she could pull off a part that didn’t put guests to sleep. 

“— Eliana?” There was a hesitancy in her voice when Bek paused a foot or so away. What if she was wrong? Her eyes darted around the room again, but everyone else was either with company or wearing that sort of look that said they’d rather be anywhere else. 

“I’m Dr. Turan." Again, it was hesitant, but she flashed a smile. "Our administrator said you’d be expecting me?”

lauren’s right hand held the door to keep it just cracked open as she leaned against the doorframe. at least, that’s what it looked like to her sorority sister. her shoulder was leaning against the doorframe, but her hand was over ellie’s mouth in attempt to keep her quiet. she listened to her sister ramble on about one of the other girl’s in the house, “i appreciate you coming to me with this. let’s just sleep on it tonight and if you feel the same tomorrow morning, find me and we’ll take the next steps to resolve this immediately.” the sophomore was apprehensive, but nodded knowing that lauren had seniority as president of the sorority. “have a goodnight,” the blonde waved off, as she shut her door and quickly locked it. “jesus christ,” lauren hissed under her breath as she eyed ellie, dropping her hand from the girl’s mouth. “do you think she heard you?” they never hung out in lauren’s room because it meant she had to sneak ellie into the sorority house, but the other girl had managed to convince her. it was fair to say that the blonde was paranoid to say the least.

Who: @augustusellison and Ellie

Where: Perk coffee shop

When: July 2024

Ellie had been working a case all night and she was in desperate need of an early morning pick-me-up. Running over to the coffee shop before work was something she had done hundreds of times. She was waiting for her drink after ordering, as she was also picking up something for her partner before their shift started. Looking down at her phone she was reading a text from Jordan when she thought she heard her name being called. Just as she was about to reach for the cup, her hand collided with someone else's. Looking to see who it belonged to, her brow furrowed as she recognized him. "Oh," she said barely above a whisper. "August," she nodded, her tone short and curt as she was still not over what he had done to her best friend.

Fiddling with the dark green box in his hands, Ray let out a sigh. It had been awhile since he’d bought this. He’d fully intended to propose months ago, but then the chance to study and travel got in the way. Frankly, he should have done it anyway. He should have proposed to the woman he loved and taken her with him on his journey. Looking up at Ellie, one of Jane’s most trusted friends, he felt his heart ease a bit. “Okay, I need your help.” He said gently showing her the box. “I want to make sure this is perfect, and you know her almost better than I do. Will you help me?”

@wolfvirago​ sent: [ WOUND ]:          upon noticing a recent injury on the receiver’s person, the sender carefully moves closer, running a thumb (or hand) across the wound in a gentle, troubled manner. (for ellie) 

             ellie stiffened up as the other grew closer, feeling a little awkward being inspected so thoroughly. the scratch across her cheek was painful enough, but she’d dealt with the occasional swipe and scrape on the farm. it was just embarrassing to have anyone else know.

             ‘ it’s fine. i’ll just stick a bandaid on it, right? ‘ still, it was hard for her not to make a look akin to a kicked puppy.
