[thesimonhawthorne]

January used to be one of Simon's busiest months, now, while he still had quite a bit of stuff to do in preparation for the season, Julian was for all intent and purposes on holiday so while he did have some stuff scheduled, it wasn't exactly rush hour at work. Which he did find himself enjoying. He was just going around town and had popped in the shop with no specific objective in mind. He looked towards Harlow when she spoke to him. "Oh, hello," he replied. "Hm, just looking around. How's everything?"@harlowhanlon

The day was an idle one, seeing as customers had been sparse throughout the first hours of an, so far, uneventful day. Walking through the store she was proud to be calling her place of work, Harlow's focus was bestowed upon the rearrangement of the winter collection's pieces, the change in small details to make the most of the arrangement. Though, her focus would soon shift as the door opened and for a moment, the cold poured in through the front door. A single turn of her head was enough to alert her of the presence of none other than Simon Hawthorne. A moment's quiet passed, before she was quick to bring a smile to sit atop her lips. "Hey, Simon." A beat, as she turned to him, took a step forward. "Can I uh ... Can I help you with anything, or do you want to just take a quick look around?"

a surprise closed starter for @thursdaygrl !

she hadn't planned on coming. partly because it feels like dawson's house throws a party every weekend these days, and it's hard to keep up with that, but mostly because she's had the worst of all possible days a person can have. but it was addison — sweet, supportive addison — who convinced her to have a little fun, or at least not spend the night sulking alone. and it was addison who snuck her into the house and up to his bedroom, where she waits for him now, because she isn't quite up to socializing with other people. head perks up when she hears the door open, smile soft from her position on the bed. "hey, captain. having fun?"

"hey!" she's ignoring the groans and protests that come from the peanut gallery as she stomps through the hockey team's locker room, wrath solely focused on their captain. (otherwise known as the bane of her existence.) "i don't know what kind of bullshit you're trying to pull, but my team reserved the ice for this afternoon last week. so i'd love to know why you told my girls they can't practice today."

continued for @vacillatcs from here

" yeah... yeah i know." she'd just been waiting for the right time, but it never came. or it never really felt like the right time to her, never could bring herself to say the words to her family. only her brother knew and she'd sworn him to secrecy. " one of my siblings is bound to mess up soon and then i'll just slip it in and won't be as big a deal. "

character appearances!!

huuuuuuge shoutout to the anon who suggested the ai!! it really helped me out!

if you don't like how they look, feel free to picture them however you wish! it's not an issue to me, i just want to share how i imagine them as i'm writing (:

if you do picture them a different way, please please please feel free to share! i'm nosy + i think it's cool to see how appearances change from person to person!

first up: harlowe! his jawline is a bit more square than i imagine, but this is close!

florence! she turned out pretty much perfect tbh.

and of course, eden! i don't picture him to be as broad as he looks here, but everything else is pretty close. if the background looks out of place, that's because it is. i wanted to add better backgrounds for eden and harlowe than what the ai added.

and now, aena. turned out nearly perfect, she just has sharper features in my mind's eye!

and now, alistaire! unlike eden, alistaire is supposed to be more broad. he's also supposed to look around 27-28! he wears glasses and has more of a 5-o'clock shadow thing going on. but i couldn't figure out how to get that to work, so just imagine.

The night was a great one. A party at High Pulse mixed with girls night with her roommates was best mixture to make it just that and the girls were laughing as they went down the hallway to their apartment; door shut, the secrets that were on the other side still unknown to the outside world. Millie took out her keys and unlocked the door like usual and she turned the knob to open it, but was met with a little resistance. Nothing out of the ordinary. She figured Rex was just laying a the door as he sometimes did. She just pushed it carefully to nudge him awake, but there was still some resistance. Peaking her head in, she gasped as she saw the place looking like a tornado went through it. The resistance she was facing was some of their belongings blocking it and pushing it harder, they were able to get inside and see the mess waiting for them.

At first, Millie thought that Rex had torn things apart, but walking in more, the TV was gone in the living room and who knew what else. "Oh, my god! We've been robbed!" Millie said as she ran into her room to see what was missing there and there was a sigh of relief as she saw Rex was there still; just laying on her bed and wagging his tail, happy to see her.

Eddie had just gotten back from his run around the park and he sat outside his building for a moment and was drinking some water. He was glad the weather seemed to be holding out while it was supposed to rain, but so far things were still nice. He was looking around at everything while he rested and he smiled as a familiar face appeared. "Harlow, hey. What's up?"

Do yall think that people that use excessive amounts of the internet, especially at a young age, is just kinda like a mass scale version of the cloth mother vs wire mother experiment orrrr

"So I have a proposal for you," Simran announced as she emerged from the kitchen with a bottle of wine and two glasses, placing them on the table in front of both the girls. "You like supporting me, right?" It was more rhetorical at this point but Simran still waited for the other to acknowledge the statement before she continued. "I need feedback but I don't really wan tot bring it up to my editor," she said with a sigh before using the corkscrew on the bottle and popping it open. "My last two books haven't been... as great as the others and I guess I'm just second guessing everything now."

Simran had a great editor back in New York City that she was still working with but that same editor was almost always praising all her ideas even if they weren't as good. That was something Simran needed to change. "Oh and I ordered pizza for yes tonight, you good with that or should we order something else?"

she doesn't even have the energy to scowl at him as she normally would like, though she does find the strength to fall into his embrace and wrap her arms around his neck. "shut up," she fires back half-heartedly, unnerved by just how much of a man he is. how safe it feels to be in his strong arms, with his frame still managing to tower over her even from this position. or, at least, it feels like he's towering over her; might just be his undeniable presence. "i take it back. only humble people deserve medals." it's the easy kind of banter she's used to when it comes to him, and it feels comfortable and familiar until it isn't. until he has her heart and pulse racing with his compliment, both wanting to preen and run away from it. they don't do compliments. they don't do sincerity. makes things easier to keep it flirty. so she responds simply by making the kiss as dirty as possible, hands reaching between them to work at his belt. "more undressing, less talking." no distractions. she can't afford them. that's what she keeps reminding herself as she moves her lips down his jawline and neck, desperate to keep him distracted. to keep him focused on their mutual goal, which is to blow off some steam during their stressful seasons. why ruin that opportunity with feelings? once she's got his belt undone and his zipper down, she reaches past his boxers to grip at his cock. thumb swipes at the tip, humming against his skin. "can i cum on your dick now? you'd really deserve a medal in that case."

"what? no way." she's got her arms crossed and eyes narrowed, like she can't believe someone could be so dense. you'd think that, by now, she'd be used to their constant back and forth (that tug and pull, almost reminiscent of his boat on the waves), but she isn't. supposes it's due to his innate ability to leave her unfairly flustered whenever he's in uniform. "i reserved this ice time for my team, christopher. you're just gonna have to come back later."

The Rot sets in part 2

The earth rumbled

It received a request, from a human boy. A little boy who's energy is more akin to a sapling than a human. The boy sapling to asked bring a person to him. The person, a human man with a strange energy resided on top of a building made of steel and concrete. It would to be a little difficult.

But not too difficult.

The boy sapling hummed in gratitude. The earth hummed back and began its work.

Slowly but surely, it created a careful path from the human man's position to the location of the boy sapling. Once the path was ready it pulled the human man deep in the earth.

The human man let out a startled scream before it was quickly swallowed along with him. He was pulled and pushed until he reached the location of the boy sapling and spat him out. The boy sapling thanked the earth once again and the earth returned to it slumber.

Eike had anticipated that Propaganda might put up a fight and was ready to freeze him at a moment's notice. What he didn't anticipate was Propaganda, trembling in a fetal position mumbling that he didn't want to die.

Was Propaganda claustrophobic? He might have considering the reaction. No matter, he thought, it might make him talk easier.

He put on his costume while waiting for the earth to bring him his target. His costume was an all white, sleeveless unitard with thigh high boots, long gloves and a face and neck covering mask, leaving only his long platinum hair and shoulders exposed. He wore a jade colored cape with a hood attached with gold trimming. (He removed Quintessence's Sun symbol from his costume. Eike did not wish to tarnish her name with what he intends to become)

He couldn't afford Propaganda or anyone to find out his identity, not yet anyways.

Although, considering Derek works for PARENTS now he might have ratted him out. Or he's planning to use it as a bargaining chip. His source might have some insight on the matter but that's something else he'll have to worry about later.

He stood over the trembling, closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Eike Harlow has retreated, and Catalyst stood in his place.

"Propaganda" Catalyst spoke, his coice carrying an authority unfitting for a hero. "Raise your head, I have questions to ask"

Propaganda raised his trembling head and looked at the man above him. he recognized him as Catalyst, the Vera city hero. He must have come here for Lil Biggie's concert. A smile appeared on his face, If he can control him and use him against Lil Biggie-

Before he could finish his thought he felt himself sinking in the ground. Panic took over and started yelling, begging. He didn't want to go in the dark again.

Catalyst stops and looks down at his half sunken body. "Before you attempt anything, know that we are alone, far away from anyone who could hear or help"

He knelt down and grabbed Propaganda's chin, "all I want, is answers. Give me what I desire, and I will not drag you underneath the earth"

The villian scoffed, "look at you, all high and mighty, some hero you are! Threatening a defenseless man like myself. Playing big hero after your mentor up and ditched you?!

I've done nothing wrong and you should release me at once!"

Propaganda has been subtly attempting to use his mind control powers on Catalyst. If he can just get to him-

He started sinking again, his legs already swallowed and the ground is up to his chest. "WAIT, WAIT! YOU CANT DO THIS!"

Catalyst stood motionless, "I have no time for your games. Give me my answers and you will not become one with the earth"

Propaganda finally relented, the hero seems to be in bad and he doesn't want to push his luck. "Fine, what do want to know?"

Beneath his mask, Catalyst smirked, Propaganda is a weak man and it wouldn't have taken long for him to break. The interrogation begins now.

"How did you escape the prison you were in?"

"There was a breakout and I escaped during the confusion."

"What was your plan here?"

"To get back at Lil Biggie for the humiliation he put me through"

"How many people did you have under mind control?"

"Only the hostages on the roof "

"How did you get your hands on Dozer?"

"I got it from a Crazy Chris in Ver-!"

Propaganda immediately stopped talking. He got played! He lead on with some obvious questions and let him talk! He looked horrified and wide eyed at the hero above him. He stood completely still with the wind moving his cape a little. His face completely obscure by the mask and the lack of light in the dark alley. At the moment he looked more a villain that the sunshine hero he was known for.

"Go on," Catalyst said, "keep going. You've come this far anyways"

Propaganda wanted to argue, but he thought about it. Catalyst will continue to sink in the ground if they he denied him answers, any attempt to use his powers will also result in him sinking further. He didn't know if the hero was willing to kill him or not but was in no position to test it. He sighed and kept talking.

"I heard there was a drug that boosts superpowers for powered individuals such as you and I, and grants superpoweres to normal people. There's a dealer in Vera city, goes by Crazy Chris. He got his hand on the drug and started dealing it about a month ago."

"Personally I didn't believe it till I tried myself. And I've never felt more powerful! I would've taken revenge on everyone who ever wrong me and-"

"That's enough" Catalyst waved his hand and Propaganda was lifted from his position. With his legs released he groaned and stood up.

"As promised, you are free from the earth's grasp."

Propaganda, in true villain fashion, began monologuing.

"Foolish hero! Did you think I, Propaganda will let you get away with this mistreatment! I shall control you and use you as I see fit!"

Catalyst paid him no mind and began walking away. His source has already informed him of the drug and what it does but he wanted to confirm the information personally. Propaganda, who didn't take kindly to being ignored attempts to use his powers one last time. As he was about to turn to the direction Catalyst walked away in he couldn't move his legs. In fact a coldness was making it way up. He looked and saw his legs covered in ice.

"Catalyst! You bastard! You said will let me go!!"

The hero turned around to spoke in a casual tone "I said I will not sink you into the earth, I didn't say I wasn't going to do anything else"

Propaganda yelled and thrashed before he knew he was a frozen bloke of solid ice. Catalyst opted to leave him here for PARENTS to find and quickly hid and changed out of his costume. He used the earth passage to return to the concert hall and appeared inside. As far as anyone was concerned, Eike Harlow was inside the concert hall the entire time. The show about to start in about 15 minutes according to his phone clock. Eike saw the couple who were held hostage by Propaganda's mind control looking a bit confused but otherwise unharmed. People were mingling and talking, drinks at hand, chatting with friends, excitement and joy filled the air.

Eike smiled to himself. Lil Biggie's concert will go off without a hitch then Sawyer will drop by and meet him and Amir here and then he intends to take his two friends out for a celebratory dinner. Today was gonna be a good day.

Eike made sure of it.
