#event: adri's birthday

@mobscene-starters

the whole place looked exactly as she had planned, exactly as it was in her head. Really, the planning of the people here differed a lot from the ones back in London. No vision was too much for them, no idea too loud. It was perfect.

With everything that had surpassed in the last few months, getting out into Dubai, a place where nothing bad had happened (yet) was a getaway not only she but mostly everyone needed.

“I do hope there will be no politics here? I am sure they scanned for guns and poisons.”

-

This was the last place David saw himself going, but when a few Italians mentioned going, he decided to tag along. Something was bound to go wrong and at least he would be there to watch it all crumble. There was enjoyment in that mere fact. 

He spotted the birthday girl, two drinks in hand, making his way over to her. “No chocolate fountain shooting money out. I’m highly disappointed.” He held out a glass for her. “I suppose this is where I compliment you. You wear the dress decently.” He smirks, looking over at her. 

[david-pavoncello]

David: You are missing out. David: The time of my life. David: Don't do anything too crazy. David: You might enjoy life a little more. David: Night Amélie

Amélie: I don't really like big parties, or overcrowded spaces. And from what I've heard, those parties are pretty wild. Amélie: We discussed it together and decided it was best that I sat this one out. I'm just not ready for something that big. Amélie: Haha. I'm glad you're having a great time, David. Amélie: I'd very much rather not be there, though.

FOR: ADRIANA'S BIRTHDAY. @mobscene-starters

WHEN: 04th of August, 2023.

WHERE: Ali, Burj Khalifa

Melissa's heels tapped against the polished floor, the building was beautiful in a way that she very rarely saw, and she had to commend Adriana because this was a job well done. And it was a rarity for Melissa to appreciate anything in such a way. The air was filled with an enchanting blend of soft music, tinkling laughter, and the clinking of glasses, an ambiance of pure elegance -- but of course, as Melissa was aware, nothing with Adriana was ever what it seemed. Glistening lights hung from the ceiling, casting a warm, golden glow that danced across the room, illuminating the intricate details of the ornate decor.

It was Adriana's birthday, a celebration that bore witness to no compromise in grandeur.

Melissa's arm was looped through Benjamin's, her protege and date for the evening (Only because he'd begged like a poor person and it hadn't been attractive) that she felt the need to invite him. His youthful exuberance was a stark contrast to her poised elegance, yet they complemented each other perfectly. If there was one thing that was certain, she was growing rather fond of the man. And some may even say she finally had a friend.

"Impressive, isn't it?" she whispered, her voice carrying a hint of amusement. Looking up, at that moment she came face to face with the first person of the evening. ''Hello,'' She purred, as Melissa always did. Shoulders drawn back and head held high. ''Don't you look ravishing,''

@LaraRutherford: Fashionably late, but it's high time we reminded some people how to party, I think. 😇 @CamillaEliades @BerkeleyMP

Olivier: I’ll take most of the weight off your shoulders when I get back and give you some time to yourself.  Olivier: I’m a man, I can’t help myself sometimes. Can’t deny my comments were comedy genius.  Olivier: Yes, please? This feels weird. Haha. Olivier: I’ll do my best :))))))

Emilia: You know you don’t have to do that. My mum is still here.  Emilia: I never did think you were funny.... Emilia: Joking.  Emilia: I am sure you will.

Birthday Habit

ship: adri x jacob corbett (my house is your house) source: original content word count: 1211

I MEANT TO FINISH THIS YESTERDAY BUT I GOT TOO DEPRESSED AAAAA happy 48th, Jacob, I love you ;_;

Anyway, I had to throw some sprinkles of personal issues in there ya know

tag list: @dearly-beeloved @adoredbyalatus @kylars-princess @dorothys-wife @the-sleeping-city

@dear-gambler @goldenworldsabound @sunstar-of-the-north @mahitosoulmate @faerie-circle-ships

Jacob wouldn't call himself a smoker, necessarily. Anita had always been the more… HEDONISTIC of the two, and it was she who had turned him onto nicotine.

He only smoked on special occasions, his birthday included.

The morning had been… eventful. So eventful that Adri was currently in the shower.

He'd all but moved all of his bath products into JACOB'S bathroom now.

Jacob mused over this fact as he took a drag, sitting out on a bench in the backyard, he took in the morning air, the balmy heat of summer fast approaching. It was pleasant, though. He'd always enjoyed the summer.

Another drag made another thought cross his mind.

Dave had asked if the U-Haul joke applied to men as well, and he hadn't really had an answer for that. The circumstances were different in so far as they had met BECAUSE Adri had needed a place to stay while he got back on his feet. All of… This. Was unexpected.

He didn't think he minded. It had all been a very pleasant turn of events. They were both still easing into it, but so far it seemed… promising.

He was so lost in his thoughts that he hadn't heard the sliding door open.

"I didn't take you as a smoker," Adri's voice snapped him out of his thoughts. The question didn't come off as judgmental, only curious.

Jacob offered a sheepish smile, gesturing with the cigarette.

"Just a guilty pleasure. Only for special occasions." He patted the bench next to him invitingly, and Adri took his cue eagerly.

"That's fair," Adri replied, making his way over, secretly grateful the smoke was blowing in the opposite direction.

"Figured I'd treat myself on my birthday, you know?" Jacob chuckled. "And yes, I send 'em off to recycling. Don't knock any points off my eco-friendly meter, now."

"Well. I can't tell you what to do, but special occasions only sounds fine to me," Adri hummed, leaning into Jacob's side. He was quickly rewarded by a strong, burly arm wrapped around his shoulders. Pausing for a minute, a shy smile found its way to his face. "And… not a little attractive, maybe?"

Jacob arched an eyebrow at this, a charming smirk crossing his features.

"Oh? Is my little habit a turn-on, then? I'll keep that in mind."

Adri giggled in response.

"Like I said, OCASSIONALLY, maybe?"

Laughing, Jacob gave Adri's shoulder a shake, pulling him into his side.

"Ahhh, I'm kidding, bunny. Just today since it's my birthday," he teased. Finished, he extinguished the cigarette into the ashtray he had brought out with him, setting it to the side and sitting back to take in the sight of all the flowers and plants lining the fence.

"So… any plans for today?" Adri broke the silence after a moment.

Jacob made a thoughtful expression before replying.

"Nothing much. Lucy and Anita are probably gonna give me a call, but… I think I'd like to do something low-key with this cutie right here," he chuckled, rubbing up and down Adri's arm. "Maybe dinner later and hopefully some more of whatever we got up to this morning."

Adri blushed, chuckling shyly.

"Uhm. Definitely some of that later, I promise," he said, flustered, but unable to keep a smile off of his face. "I had something in mind, but if you'd rather we just stay at home, that's fine too."

"Oh?" Jacob seemed intrigued. "You didn't have to go and think of anything, bunny. But if you've got something in mind, by all means."

Adri was quiet for a moment, and for a few beats, Jacob seemed concerned.

"Uhm. There's this cafe that's… really special to me. I told you I don't really… enjoy birthdays all that much, but… I want to enjoy yours with you. So…" Adri trailed off.

"Aw, sweetheart." Jacob's expression softened. "You told me. If birthdays freak you out then we can just-"

Adri shook his head, a faint blush tinging his cheeks.

"N-No! No, really. I want to. This cafe was REALLY special to me once and I…" He took a deep breath. "I want to go back. With someone special. And since it's your birthday…"

"Ahhhh, I see," Jacob chuckled good-naturedly. "Well I'm honored, sweetheart. If this place is so special to you, the fact that you want to share it with me just warms my heart."

Adri nodded, looking down at the ground and unable to realize he was being pulled into a hug until he was practically in Jacob's lap. Stammering wordlessly, he looked up at Jacob with a flushed and bewildered expression as Jacob flashed him another one of those charming grins.

"I'm proud of you for taking this step forward, bunny. We'll get you settled back into this whole socializing thing yet. But for now, your openness is the best birthday present I could ask for," Jacob hummed affectionately before smirking playfully. "On top of being your 'special someone,' that is."

The direct quote of Adri's unintentional show of how much Jacob really meant to him made his face burn. He could only imagine how darkly he was blushing based on the expression on Jacob's face.

At Adri's lack of verbal response, Jacob laughed, reaching up to ruffle his hair.

"Alright, alright. Enough embarrassing you, what do you say we get the day started?" He released Adri from his lap, standing up and offering his hand.

Taking it, Adri stood and smiled shyly.

"Well if we're going out… Did you have any other ideas?"

Jacob chuckled again, seemingly appraising Adri for a moment.

"I guess you could say that. Hey, in all my ignorance of alternative subcultures, bear with an old man for a second?"

That was a curious request. Adri's head tilted off to the side, contemplating where this was going.

"Uhm, of course."

Jacob paused, blatantly taking in Adri's appearance yet again, but to what end remained to be seen.

"Keeping the weather in mind, because I know how hard it is for you out in this heat what with your meds on top of all that black," Jacob started with a chuckle before his gaze softened. "Wear your favorite outfit for me?"

That was… a direction.

"Any… reason?" Adri asked curiously. It wasn't a PARTICULARLY odd request. "Even if it involves platforms?"

Jacob outright laughed at that.

"Yes, even if it involves platforms. Though, you're still hopelessly shorter than me, bunny," he commented playfully, making Adri blush before he continued. "But no, seriously. I want to see how you like to express yourself. Go all out for me, not just shorts and band shirts this time."

The thoughtfulness of the request wasn't surprising. But it still caught Adri off guard all the same.

"Are you sure…?" he questioned cautiously. "I can put together my favorite summer fit if you really want, but…"

"How about this," Jacob hummed, crossing his arms over his broad chest. "What if I told you… that there was a record shop I think you'd like? Might as well go do something fun on my birthday, right? Who knows, maybe I'll score a good album today."

This caught Adri's attention, making him blink a few times in consideration.

"That… sounds fun. What's it called? Maybe I've been there before."

"It's S-"

Attire for Adriana's 33rd Birthday - Dubai

[mrofontaine]

It all happened so...fast. 

One minute he was beaming when he saw the face of the woman, being one of the main reasons he’d got a flight in the first place. But a second later? Olivier blinked in astonishment when the shoe hurtled through the air, dogging just in time as his reflexes shifted into full gear, grabbing the shoe in his hand. For a moment he looked at the shoe in hand and then back to Elaina as his bushy brow inched towards his hairline. Well he hadn’t expected to do that, he thought. Instinctively he raised his other hand in a defensive gesture, a mix of shock and amusement dancing across his features. .

"Elaina, always the charmer," he quipped, a wry grin tugging at the corner of his lips. Stepping forward, he extended his arms in a conciliatory gesture, palms facing outward. "Happy to see you too, don’t you look beautiful."

He paused, looking to his hand. ‘’Want your shoe back? Probably designer, right?’’ And cost more than his life was worth.

@mrofontaine

She didn't want to go because certainly, she wasn't some sort of a fucking messenger. Elaina only went so that she could hold it over his head for the next ten years of his definitely short life.

So to see him standing there? In the flesh? A surprise, though the woman wasn't sure if it was a pleasant one or not. She paused, taking off her shoe, and throwing it directly at his head.

"Next time you play any of this - it will be a knife and I'll throw it with the pointed end directed at you."

[amescastaignede]

Texting - Ayaz.

Amélie: I know you said you were out the country but I just wanted to say I hope you have an amazing time and remember... Amélie: This is a break so make the most of it. Amélie: No work, thank you :-)

[mrofontaine]

FOR: @mobscene-starters

WHEN: 04th of August, 2023.

WHERE: Omar Room, in the pool.

Olivier reclined in the cool, velvety waters of the Omar room. The room exuded an edge of decadence, a sanctuary where glitter and water swirled together in a mesmerizing dance. The dark pool was a shimmering expanse, reflecting the myriad colors of the surrounding lights that cast an ethereal glow upon the water's surface.

Olivier's cares seemed to dissolve into the liquid embrace. Closing his eyes, letting the sounds of laughter, music, and celebration fade into a distant hum. It had been a long while since he felt so content, so at ease. The tension that had been coiled tightly within him melted away, leaving behind only a sense of tranquility. He missed his daughter, and as a father that tugged at the strings but he quickly pushed it aside, reminding him not to feel guilty.

Turning around after a few moments, placing arms on top of the pool he peeked to his left as a grin spread across his face. ''Well, fuckin' hell. You alright? Looks like you had a good night,''

[msmelissalin]

Melissa gracefully settled into the chair next to him, a hint of mocking concern in her voice as she inquired, "Rough night?" She cast a quick, appraising glance his way before elegantly raising her hand to signal the bartender for her drink. "You do have some catching up to do, a little tip for you," she smirked. ''Adriana's special drinks will get you there quicker than the rest,''

@mobscene-starters Date: Saturday, August 5th.

Broken nose. Broken rib. Several broken fingers. Concussed as shit.

But still ready to fucking party, in true French fashion.

God bless the drugs.

Having to endure the entire flight from London to the UAE with Medea Barrett of all people was torture enough to have him seeking out a bottle immediately upon arrival. A case could've been made for him resting, but he wasn't going to give the bitch the satisfaction of not showing up when she'd made clear that was precisely what she wanted. So there he sat, slightly ahead of the others who hadn't quite gotten into the swing of the second night, starting the party himself.

"It would appear I have some catching up to do."

~Adriana “Adri” Daysworn~

(ref sheet & format inspired by @rozeliyawashereyall )

( @aspenm00n we gotta new ref yayayayay!)

Also quick thing! Adri dies AFTER the events of Gator boys!

Basics:

Full name: Adriana Veronika Daysworn

Age: 23

Birthday: November 8

Species: Human/Spectre

Gender: Genderfluid

Pronouns: Any

Sexuality: Pansexual

Height: 5’8

Weight: 109lbs

Place of birth: Pentiach

MBTI: ENFP-I

Family:

Adriana grew up surrounded by nobility. Her parents only had one goal: Notoriety. They only saw their children as a pawn in an elaborate game of chess, their only purpose being to be married off into some noble branch.

Her mother, Lucy, grew up in a lavish house in Centara with anything and everything at her fingertips, the downside being that she never understood true struggle, so when she had children, she had a bad habit of tossing their issues aside, unable to grasp what their problems even were. She was 20 when she met Judas. Lucy married him at 22.

Adrianas father, Judas, was the complete opposite of Lucy. If Lucy was ignorant and apathetic on a good day, Judas on a good day would be quiet, which was incredibly unusual. Fights between Lucy and Judas were common. Judas grew up with nothing to his name. He met Lucy when he was 23, it was “love at first sight” if you will.

Micah was Adri’s eldest sibling. Out of all the Daysworn children, he was the most magically gifted. You’d think that his parents would be happy about this, right? No. While Lucy stumbled upon magic few times in her lifetime, she never thought herself to be competent enough to fully grasp it, thus projecting her own issue onto Micah. Judas thought that magic was only for rich snobs (massive hypocrite tbh) Micah was also the primary caretaker of Adri for the first twelve years of her life. When Micah was about 21, he got into a fight with Judas. In a drunken hissy fit of rage, Judas grabbed an empty bottle of whiskey and threw it at Micah. Even though he missed, Judas still managed to do a great deal of damage, causing a cut on Micah’s face. Days after Micah ran away, and was later found dead by a traveler.

Ruthie is Adri’s eldest sister. Adri and Ruthie were incredibly close. She was loud and outspoken, she was the first person to try to help Micah after what happened. Her and Adri’s relationship was less of a sisterly bond but, more like close friends. She was the one who encouraged Adri to confess to Frida. She’s completely cut off her family and now lives in Ahkahn with her husband and son. Ruthie doesn’t have a great relationship with her husband, her son being the only thing keeping her going.

Katherine is Adri’s youngest sibling. While her time with Adri was brief, she still managed to make memories with her. When she was 11, she lived alone with her parents, whom at this point, were less like human beings, and more like shells of what once was, Lucy was deep into Alzheimer’s (or the al’terra equivalent) , and Judas was deep into a malasycthe addiction, Katherine decided that she had enough, and ran away. She walked. She didn’t know where she was going, but nevertheless, she continued. Eventually, she collapsed due to exhaustion, however, a Nixinite woman found her unconscious body, and brought it back to the temple, in hopes that she could be saved, lo and behold, she could. Katherine now resides in the temple, with hopes of finding her siblings.

Important events (some of these are kind of nothingburgers but it’s whatever)

At four, Adri was on a swing unsupervised, she fell off and hit her shoulder on a jagged rock, causing a scar. In the future, when someone were to ask how she got it, instead of saying what actually happened, she’d make something up like “I got it in a fight with my mom” etc, to make herself seem more brave and important than she appeared.

At five, Katherine was born, the relationship between Adri and Katherine was surface level, nothing too special.

When Adri was six, she caught Micah using magic in secret, they both agreed not to tell their parents, if Adri could watch him practice.

When Adri was eight, she started journaling, nothing too crazy, just little anecdotes of her life along with some drawings. She also got into embroidery & sewing around this point.

At twelve, the whiskey incident occurred. This made Adrianas life take a sharp turn.

When Adri was 15, she met Frida, little did either of them know, this would lead to Frida’s death

Also around this time, Frida & Adri made & painted an ocarina for Adri’s sixteenth birthday.

Adri and Frida wouldve been dating for around a year now, Adri tried to run away a few days prior, but she was caught be her father who threatened to kill Frida as a consequence, when Adri arrived at their usual meeting spot, she found it empty, so she waited. After thirty minutes of waiting, she decided that she shouldn’t wait any longer, and so she started looking for Frida, calling out her name. When she had enough of looking for her, she decided to return to the bench, while she was walking there, something caught her eye, it was Fridas corpse. Horrified, Adri decided she had enough. She had enough of her family, taking away everything that she loved. So, she packed her things, and ran away.

When Adriana had just turned 17, she arrived at Centara. She played her ocarina there for some cash. This caused her to achieve some levels of recognition, but she knew she couldnt stay there for long.

At eighteen, she arrived at Ahkahn, joining the hunters sometime after.

WIP Wednesday - 18Jan2023

Happy Wednesday Everyone!

I know I said last week that my Tumblr posting schedule may become a bit haphazard moving foward, but Maxwell Beaumomt Appreciation Week is coming up, so I decided to throw together a little one shot that I've been saving for this event 😇

Here is a sneak peak:

A Leviathan Surprise

Fandom: TRR

Series: None - this is a one-shot

Pairings: Maxwell Beaumont x Bertrand Beaumont (nothing sexual - just brotherly love)

Maxwell was giddy with excitement.

Scratch that.

He was positively bursting with anticipation!

Bertrand was going to be home any minute now, and the young Beaumont couldn't wait to surprise his older brother with his... Well, surprise.

It was Bertrand's birthday, after all...

And even though Bertrand hadn't wanted a fuss made, much less a party thrown — because, let's face it, they were broke — when one of his thousands of Insta followers had tagged him in a post featuring this jewel of divine inspiration, Maxwell had known: THIS was it... the perfect birthday present for his brother.

The fact that it had cost the better part of an arm and a leg and had required over a hundred dedicated man-hours to accomplish was besides the point.

Bertrand was going to love it!

And that's all that mattered.

Because this year — of all years — Bertrand deserved to be treated. And a bit of financial bother was not going to stop Lord Breakdance from properly commemorating his brother's epic milestone.

The big 3-0.

Where: Ali, Dubai When: August 4, 2023 Who: @giordirossi

Despite the tension that lingered between them, at least flying off to another country to be in a room of people he rather loathed, he had Giordana at his side.

The Italian didn't need long to get ready, but knew not to rush Giordana in fear of a fist to the face. "Let's see how much of a train wreck this night is going to be." He was certain there would be some entertainment, and not with what was being provided, but the guests.

David found himself reaching for two drinks from a staff member who walked by, offering one to his friend. "Are we taking any bets tonight on who starts the first fight? I saw some French in the room."

[msmelissalin]

franciscovidal​:

“I believe this is one of the few times you would be able to do it freely.” Not only did Adriana hire the best security for the event - for once in her life, the girl did not invite the Russians. It was a first, and it definitely surprised him, but he would have rather been surprised than alert at every second of the party. Sure, the Italians and the French were here, too, but those tended to be more strategic about their attacks. Which meant that the night should mostly contain intoxicated drama. 

Vidal hoped it wasn’t only a fool’s hope. 

“Me? A special cocktail? Why not?” After all, he was allowed to have some fun too, was he not? “Wait here.” He said, getting up from the chair and going to the room which harbored those said special cocktails. He assessed the assortment of drinks and picked up two green ones. By the looks and the smell of them - it seemed to be absinthe. Also, knowing Adriana, it wouldn’t be the watered-down versions that were usually sold in the market. Other drinks he didn’t want to risk, not knowing exactly what was in them, was too big of a risk for him. 

Once back to Melissa, he handed her the glass. “You ready to enter a dreamland?”

.

When he got up Melissa took to a table towards the back of the room, allowing herself a moment to breath and cool down. It’d been so long since she’d actually got onto the dance floor instead of watching from a distance. Always calculating, always prepared. And tonight she didn’t have to. When he finally came back she offered the same overly wide smile. Eyeing the vibrant green liquid swirling in the glass. The playfulness of the moment was a welcome contrast to the tense atmosphere that had lingered between the two for sometime. She took the glass from Vidal's hand, kinking her brow at the color. 

"I guess it’s now or never, then," she responded with a teasing grin, her voice laced with excitement. Bringing the glass to her own lips, taking a small sip. The unique bitterness of the absinthe dancing on her tongue, humming in surprise. There was one thing she did know, this was going to be the type of drink that took her from tipsy to off the wall. "Heard the rabbit hole can be quite a ride," she quipped.

It wasn't just the potent drink in her hand; it was the rare instance of letting go, of embracing the unpredictable. "You know," she mused, "I’ve missed you." Side-eyeing him for a moment, although that smile stayed. ‘’Feels like it’s been a long time since we’ve just been...I don’t know? Friends?’’
