@flcpper ♥ asked ‘ ❛ memories are only there to make you bleed. ❜
‘ Well, Ms. Day, that I have to agree with. ‘
He supposed his kind of questioning deserved such a reply, after all he was a journalist and he was in the business of lies and slander. Rather, he knew the world he’d chosen to prescribe himself into, because it was far easier getting pay cheques than being a novelist ever would be, but he didn’t like it. Not that it fully absolved him of the ways ‘ journalists ‘ these days would twist words and create short, shout-able snippets for the paper boys on busy street corners to yell out in the hopes of a sale. A novel was not going to get him anywhere, but writing it could certainly fill up the hours when he wasn’t interviewing.
Forsythe leaned back from the dark-stained wood table and looked over his shoulder at the band, their jazz music filling up the silence between glasses or cutlery clinking, and muting the conversations that took place around them. Made it a strangely private place to have a conversation, and one of his preferred settings.
He wasn’t sure how Elsie Day felt about it, because she seemed a difficult person to read. This really was a compliment, because there was a strength in her that Forsythe respected ( and perhaps this was him presuming he knew anything about her based on the life she lived in the spotlight ). He knew as a journalist it was easy to assume one knew more about the subject than they themselves. There was also an air of ‘ I can make you anything you’d like to be ‘, as if Ms. Day wasn’t already a mirrorball. These weren’t the pursuits of Forsythe the Third, however, because all he wanted as a sensible conversation paired with a few tidbits making his column enticing. Though, he was certain any words spoken by Elsie Day would be enticing enough.
‘ Do you prefer to look forward, then ? I suppose we as people are destined to rely on experiences of the past to help guide us forward because what else do we have to relate to ? But that’s just my take on it. ‘

@flcpper sent: ❛ i like large parties. they’re so intimate. at small parties there isn’t any privacy. ❜
❝I know what you mean.❞ She said with a chuckle, turning a glace towards the throngs of people milling about the party. These Hollywood parties seemed to get more ridiculously extravagant with each passing year, something that never ceased to impress Pandora.
❝It is almost overwhelming until you realize everyone is too preoccupied to look at you.❞

“you know you’re wrong.”

James bristled at the accusation, a nerve in his jaw twitching. "And what would make you assume that, madam?" he questioned, placing his hands against the edge of the counter. "While I cannot assure you of the accuracy of medical diagnosis, I can assure you that I am seldom incorrect."

@flcpper
My muse is being held in solitary confinement and hasn’t seen anyone for weeks. Send ⚠ to find them.
It was deeply unethical what had happened. It was unjust and unfair.
But it’s a well-known fact that the local Priest is the one that has the scoop on everything; the one to whom everyone would go when in need of an ear, to whom they’d confess their deepest and darkest - a head full of secrets.
He was, therefore, the first person a gang had gotten hold of when trying to pry information from various sources. Organised crime wasn’t uncommon in Ezekiel's area, though this was the first time the Reverend had been dragged in this far.
But Ezekiel was one hell of a tough cookie, much more than folks gave him credit for. His outright refusal to breathe one incriminating word had been infuriating to his interrogators, so much so that they eventually opted to throw him in solitary and wait it out - wait until he broke.
It was a small box of a room, cold, situated below ground; no light, no windows, nothing but a mattress wedged in the cramped corner. There had been silence for the first few days. This had later been followed by some pleading and bargaining from Reverend in the days after, which slowly escalated to screaming and crying in the days following that, fists hammering against the door amidst fitful yells of cussing and begging. But still, not a shred of information.
It was midway through the third week by the time Elsie found him, a point at which Ezekiel was starting to lose all sense of himself. He lay half on the mattress, half off, dishevelled and vacant. There was not so much as a flinch of a reaction when the square of light threw itself over him. His finger traced along the threads of the mattress, absent eyes staring wistfully ahead, muttering to himself, in a sing-song voice, a childhood rhyme from his home country...
“The North wind doth blow, And we shall have snow, And what will poor robin do then, poor thing...?”
There was a good reason solitary confinement was used as a method of making people talk. Yet even when bordering on insanity, they had failed to make Ezekiel crack.

“ how bad is it this time? ” ( from flcpper )
emotionally intense prompts. || accepting || @flcpper
Thomas was doing his best to put on his concerned but focused act, taking a step back and ushering superfluous members of the gang out of the way to allow Mark, Oliver and James through. A glance was thrown towards the young woman who had spoken, a dark eyebrow arching as his eyes inspected her.
"He got hit pretty bad," he confessed, puffing air through his cheeks. "But Bolton's had worse. He'll probably be just fine." He did his utmost to hide the spite from those words, clenching his fists in concealed rage. Why won't this bastard die already?

“Don’t play games with me.” ( from flcpper )
random angst sentence starters || accepting || @flcpper
A smile crossed Oliver's lips. He leaned across the table, tipping the ash from his cigarette into the metal tray in the centre. "I'm not playin' games, miss," he assured her, though his tone still bordered on jokey. "I figure I might know why you're here. If there's somethin' you want from me, just come out with it."

Less experienced was certainly one way to put it. Oblivious was another. Socially, she watched how others interacted and copied them-- just as she had done as a child, but now she was among stars! Mirroring how they approached each other seemed right, and Alice didn’t even notice the look on Elsie’s face to suggest otherwise. Fingers grasp at a glass and it was brought to her lips. While the other spoke, she found herself nearly disliking the actress. The first excited thoughts of her molded into those of arrogance, and then back again to something nearly relatable at her very correct statement of complimenting oneself. “Why, yes, one should.” The blonde nodded, the excitement returning in her smile. “Oh, well-- I would like to think I have a few admirable traits!” But, those that she liked about herself didn’t really matter to most, did they? “I suppose my dancing is quite admirable! Everyone seems to like it enough to let me keep doing it.”
@cfmycwn continued from here
eyebrows lift as a somewhat sarcastic pair of eyes rests on the arm around her own . people don't touch her . at least , she doesn't let them touch her so easily . but elsie humors the girl . she's younger than she is . less experienced . all she can hope is that she doesn't notice how easily she can feel the bone underneath that thin cover of skin . ' i am obviously , an excellent actress . the latest review i read of myself called me masterful and witty and i like to think i'm both of those things . ' elsie pauses as she takes a glass from one of the waiters going around . the smell alone told her it was only water . ' i shouldn't talk about myself that way . i am masterful and i am witty . that's much better , isn't it ? one should always compliment themselves . ' passing another table , elsie sets the water down there . out of mind , out of sight . ' now you tell me , my dear , what makes little miss alice liddell admiral ? '
#flcpper#| verse: tbd |#say no more one shall be written!#i need to brush up on my 20s history for sure#but i think making alice a dancer seems on brand#i dont think she'd be super great at it pretty standard tbh#like a jazz or backup chorus girl type thing#probably only gets anywhere bc shes pretty and kind of stupid

𝐟𝐥𝐜𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐫:
@leftenantcolonels liked for a regency verse starter !!
‘ charmed . ’ her voice is a droll , seeping in every emotion . galas bore her . elsie is used to interacting with patrons and gossiping with showgirls , but she doesn’t enjoy wasting such valuable time . a gloved hand lifts to take the man’s . from what she has heard about montagu , he is awfully disagreeable . how perfect . so is elsie . ‘ i do hope you frequent the theater often . ‘ it is not a lie . she often surrounds herself with disagreeable people . and he is titled . it does one good to surround themselves with those who enjoy the pleasantries of a wealthy lifestyle . ‘ in fact , i insist you come again . you were a solider , i’m told and i believe soldiers should must be entertained . don’t you agree , my good sir ? ’
"quite— the dramatics on the stage are rather nice to glance at. though the intrigues in the boxes are rather more captivating." thomas says coldly; he is unimpressed with this woman’s cloying manner, and he does not hesitate to make it known by his nonexistent attempt at affable conversation. “and it is the officers that must be entertained, the men must simply be placated.” he corrects her before continuing, “though, our entertainments in the peninsula were rather crude, should they be compared with the sets at drury lane, they were far more enjoyable to watch. ensigns played milk maids, our stages papist altars, and the audience the men of quality you see around you. though doubtless you must have noticed that already. “

What Tarot Card Are You?
The Empress
You are only independent insofar as you have others to care for. This makes you dependent in your independence. They want your knowledge, your skills, your talents, your affection. What can they give in return? “Teeth” is not an acceptable answer, nor is “keeping the shadows to the corners”, nor is “glory”, nor is “love”. There is no acceptable answer, no gift of a magnitude which can match the thing you know, which is that they are taking from you. They are stealing from you. You should stop them from doing that, darling. You only have so much to give. You are not infinite, and when they have taken their last they will remind you of that. My advice is this: give enough to keep them at bay, but be careful. Their teeth can turn on you too. There is no easier way to make an animal dangerous than by feeding it.

“ keep doing it like that, and you’ll end up hurting yourself. ” ( from flcpper , poor alice is getting the worst mentor probably ever )
mentor/mentee vibes ( x ). | @flcpper
A huff of frustration. Hands first thrown into the air now rested on her hips. "That was much better than last time!" They had a mirror, after all, and Alice could very clearly see that she had done such a maneuver much better that last time around! It was taking all she could not to sink to the floor and give up. "How would you suggest I do it better, then?"
