Somehow Ripley had never thought being a middle child was for good. He'd been the most difficult to deal with of all his siblings. And for the most part he tended to forget that he was supposed to be a role model for them. "I'm not sure if I have any patience. Just determination and sometimes that's more powerful." He laughed. He might be a middle child, but he was the least responsible. Ripley blinked at the reaction to his job. He forgot that most people thought it was some glamorous job—but no he really sat in front of a computer and did reports and math all day. It was fun for him, but not what everyone seemed to think it was. "It's not that impressive," he shrugged. "And yes, writing an essay is harder than rocket science."

He begged to differ. Creatives were far past him. He had no idea how they could look at something and see inspiration. While he did think that math and music were similar, he'd never see a tree and be able to compose a song about it—with words and everything. "I promise you, what I did there was not super impressive." He laughed. "It really does."

"ah, I guess that makes sense. middle children have all the patience in the world." she replied with a laugh. vera never had full siblings, only her cousins who grew up with her like siblings. she imagined it wasn't exactly the same; she still was just the 'other', no matter what familial relation lay between them. dark eyes widened at the mention of his last job. "holy shit, really? NASA? that's....really impressive. how was it? can you actually tell when something is harder than rocket science?" her eyebrows lightly knitted themselves together at her horrible joke.

vera waved off the compliment, even if she appreciated it. "nothing as impressive as NASA, that's for damn sure." it had always fascinated her how different individual people's brains worked considering they were made in an overtly similar way across the board. "guess it takes all sorts, right?"

She proceeded to render the Soldat unconscious, the only Widow under the age of 11 to do so

She then found herself in a laboratory chamber, and after moving through light gunfire she mixed chemicals to create toxic fumes, claiming the single gas mask for herself and climbing her to aid in avoiding the chemical.

The final room contained Katarina Yubkin and Olga Oborin, second and third ranked in the group. She eliminated Oborin without issue. Yubkin gave a fight, showing weakness as she begged for mercy before her death. Volkov then checked all bodies to confirm deaths and emerged for her assessment.

Plant Portraits

(pst- psssssst!- Hey, hey you. Yeah, you! Want to see something cool? look at this post by @hellishgayliath. It's about the characters shown here! They worked on it for a week straight, so check it out!) . . .

Hi, yes, hi, hello. Yeaaaaaah- steering away from the angst me & Helli brewed while I recover from crying. This was inspired exactly a month ago from this ask I made to Helli ask bout their oc's fav plants. I wanted to try out a new rendering style & thought this be a good opportunity + plant practice

Pico; He likes cinnamon plants/trees & likes to knaw on cinnamon sticks. So I did cinnamon plants! Specifically Cinnamomum cassia, or known as Chinese cassia, that is the most commonly sold cinnamon in North America (yes you are getting plant facts this took longer to research than to draw mainly because I like learning but that's besides the point and I wanna share knowledge) I really like how the leaves came out! Twas very fun. His plants are well maintained, healthy, & green (maybe too green lol) which shows his craft in gardening & care. Luci doesn't have teeth, so she can't really 'knaw' on things, so she didn't like trying Pico's snacks when she stole one. She was coughing on cinnamon for the next hour after. Pico laughed at her, obviously Ingenuity: the quality of being clever, original, and inventive

Bao; He likes wisteria flowers, the purple variation (my fav colour)! I loved loved LOVED coloring these plants, but it feels the most empty out of all of them (Clem is all over the place lmao) but I also kinda like it. Like it reflects their personalities this way, like he's the most upkept in society (despite his utter lack of gardening knowledge). Apparently, American wisteria is a host plant to native butterflies and moths! Add that to another reason Luci likes Bao lol. I feel like anytime she comes to the tea shop, Bao would bring her to the garden he & Pico would be working on. And everytime he's show her the plants he managed on his own they'd be drooping and dying lmao. Bao would be so confused & Luci is just unsurprised. And yes, I did think of & look at the wisteria in demon slayer Versatility: the ability to adapt or be adapted to many different functions or activities

Clem; She likes (take 3 seconds to guess) citrus fruits!! Like her name. So I of course did citrus fruits, lemons & oranges. She has my FAVORITE pose, her reaching for the fruit while juggling some in her other arm is adorable. And of course that cute face of hers! Her plants are just EVERYWHERE & is the only one to touch the ends of the canvas (that I wanted to avoid but oh well, it didn't look good otherwise). Besides, it shows her big personality and chaotic energy children have. Apparently, they're sometimes called 'Christmas oranges' because they're in season in winter months. I thought that was interesting. Does Clem like the cold, Helli or does she despise it like Pico lol? Apparently, they are also those cuties or halos oranges I use to devour as a child lol. And because of said memory, I say that Clem does too. I like to think Luci learns to share, like a child, from Clem, a said child. Luci sells back people's stuff overpriced all the time, and only shares things with Repo. She obviously isn't sharing anything with Pico & she mainly hangs out with Bao at the tea shop so she only buys things. She stole Clem's fruits in front of her once. Let's just say a bunch of sad faces and crying, not only bleed her earholes, but made her feel bad (but she'll never admit it). Does she share things now? Kindaaaaa- no. No, not at all. Only Clem & Repo Affability: the quality of being friendly and easy to talk to

aaaand my inspo board just cuz I was going to draw Vera, I really was! (I was so FRICKIN EXCITED to draw the plant with the braided stock next to the pink flower) but... one look at her head and the pose I chose, I said "No."

Bao was already troubling enough I don't need to build up hate to a character I barely know & already like by getting frustrated with their head (again). So no Vera, Helli, sorrys. Her descriptor was going to be 'nobility' btw

GO CHECK OUT HELLI'S POST IT'S SO GOOD (sad) BUT AMAZING!

Book week Late special:

[touchbased]

open to: m/nb muse: vera antonov, though she currently goes by alison. late twenties. former spy/current assassin masking as a real estate agent. borderline sociopathic. devil in a pink chanel suit. plot: basic "sure, they might love you, but would they kill for you??" toxic goodness! bonus points for a mr. and mrs. smith (the tv show) type vibe (aka another spy she's been paired up with/is pretending to be married to)

"hm?" isn't looking at them as she hums nonchalantly, instead focusing on the dinner she's preparing. chicken piccata, just like mama used to make, she'd told them once upon a time. supposes it could be true; that somewhere in the world, there's a antonov woman who loves to make chicken piccata and doesn't care that she abandoned her little girl. there's a blood stain on the cuff of her white dress shirt sleeve, somehow still, and she frowns delicately as she makes a mental note to visit the dry cleaners. "oh, carolina? from next door?" the one that was blatantly hitting on him, despite knowing full well vera exists? the one who's now at the bottom of the ocean, while the cops search her house for evidence of a kidnapping? "well, she was bothering you. so i took care of her."

Chapter 4: Join us Sky…

Despite having to be in a difficult situation, Sky was still pretty optimistic and was trying to find ways to help the group so she wouldn’t seem useless to them. While they were walking around the students notice a bunch of eyes staring directly at them. They all tried to ignore it but they knew they couldn’t. As the eyes only started moving closer towards them as they took a step forward. They tried running, but they still caught up to them. They then reach a dead end as the eyes had revealed themselves as the 2 missing victims they were. Everyone was traumatised at what happened to them. Their hands now reaching out towards them. The group finds a vent and tries to crawl through it before the arms could catch them. Though the rest of the group had crawled through the vent Sky had stayed behind, claiming that it be best if they left her for them to by more time for them to escape. The group sadly leave her as they escape through the ventilation system. Sky was now happy that she had became useful to the group and had now joined back with her group of friends.
