Who would have thought that Sherliam singing a duet about a crime scene would be a great idea? Tadasuke, I guess. What a genius, that man. Upon watching and reading the train scene, I really loved how Sherliam go back and forth explaining the clues. But this is the best adaptation yet, imo. The way they just sing one after another, in a rushed sort of way. It just shows how up to speed they are with each other. It’s SO GOOD.

I know I normally label who sings what in lyrics, but there was so much back and forth going on in this one I’ll just leave it as is. Enjoy listening to who sings which part!

I shall not put shame to the Moriarty name. I shall give this my all. This is fun! Whoever finds the criminal first wins!

There’s no time. Let’s do this quickly, Liam. My thoughts exactly.

May I ask for the blueprint and list of passengers? Yes, sir. Get us the master key as well No need for that. This’ll just take me a sec

What have you found? The victim is a jeweler The criminal is a male He got on the train from Durham he failed his attempt to steal this man’s jewelry and stabbed him with a knife H-How did you even know?

Simply elementary.  / Isn’t it obvious?

Notice the two footsteps on the floor, of a gentlemen’s shoes One is the victim’s, the other is the criminal’s A 8-inch shoes, of a person who rode the train from Durham How? What? How did you conclude they boarded at Durham?

Lestrade, use your brain a little! Eh?

Look at the shoes of the Durham professor His shoes? His shoes... Ah, mud! True, for it rained in Durham today This determines the criminal’s gender and where he boarded the train 

[Lestrade] The victim’s belongings are still here The criminal’s aim must’ve been to kill him!

If his aim was to kill, then getting on the train was nonsense If his aim was to steal, then we can say it because of the whiskey There’s a scent of chloral hydrate mixed with alcohol, it turns into a drug that induces sleep

He must’ve planned to steal while the victim was sleeping But something they didn’t expect happened There are traces of difficulty opening the case And there are traces of his hand on the victim’s neck

The criminal had the victim drink sleeping drugs to steal the jewels while he was asleep However, it may be because the amount was too little, or the victim had a tolerance But the victim had awakened

The criminal immediately stabbed him with the knife yet the case remained unopened All that the criminal could think about was to escape with the weapon and key The criminal was clearly panicked Thus, this crime was an act of impulse

(Note: William using ‘desu’ to show his respectful way of speaking. Sherlock using ‘da’ to show his rough way of speaking.)

hi daisy i know your semi-recent post wanted us to see how we felt about cheol’s leadership in the most recent chapter ! so here’s my thoughts from the chapter(i did have some random notes here and there) sorry it’s a bit long <3

ult spoiler’s (kinda) ?!!

not only cheol but i like that majority of the characters during the fight scenes where proactive in acknowledging both sides of y/n and seungkwan. rather than just picking one over the other.

for the fight (the honey & crumbs) jousha’s character did a nice job of the first point i mentioned. and i liked that he also didn’t coddle y/n just because they’re new.

for cheol (in the aftermath of crumbs argument) while y/n thinks its childish, his character made the right call in asking if they wanted to be separated for the day. (to prevent more petty arguments) and it gives the opportunity for the characters to kinda reflect about what just happened.

about y/n it was nice to read, their character explaining to josuha forcing an apology bc of “family” environment, bc it allows for genuine apologies from the characters

in reference to the (apple bruising fight) loved the line “It happens. I just need to know the whole story first before we can take care of this.” from the writing during this part cheol just wants accountability and like to explain its normal and fine to “fight” as long as there’s room for a solution.

AHHH the riverbed (if thats the right word) scene with them looking for the bracelet *chief’s kiss* both the verbal and physical reassurance from cheol, the vulnerability from seungkwan. yesss!!!

like i said earlier i do like how these characters are written to be able to cry and be vulnerable, i feel like ppl assume emotions are weak so i like reading it in literature it makes it feel more relatable &&& the small moments of physical acknowledgment from this chapter like the forehead kiss and head pats HESISNSOSM SO GOOD!

while i did get a bit off topic (sorry) overall i felt like cheol’s leadership in this chapter was good, it wasn’t harsh nor biased to either y/n or seungkwan.

time to read the updated version!

aaaaAAA LISTEN THIS IS A JOY TO READ AND I HOPE U KNOW THIS!!! brb screaming AND crying-

to address each of your points bc i want to

it was super important to me that every character during the fights acknowledged that both people had their sides. i think the only person who would ever blindly side w yn would be chan, and i think he'd only do it initially. it's 100% different in his eyes from when he and seungkwan bicker because for them it's more like a sibling squabble. with yn and seungkwan, it's elevated into something more and chan recognizes that.

shua's character was very important to me while writing this. while cheol is fully a leader of this group, jeonghan + joshua both have their roles as the oldest in keeping the peace and making sure people are comfortable. hope it becomes more apparent in their own parts about how deeply they trust cheol and try to do their own part to care for the entire group. there's a lot of people and cheol is only one person, after all. also its definitely important to me that shua not coddle reader at all because seungkwan did have a point about cross-contamination between foods. he took it a little far, but it's important that his side was recognized there.

oh cheol 100% made the right call. i think address yn thinking of it being childish is just showing that like... even if it does feel childish for someone to separate people after a fight, it's important.

ye ye!! i think i fully projected there that i think apologies should be genuine. like shua said: i think they would have already worked through emotions because cheol probably has a stance where they shouldn't go to bed with any ill will toward each other (although exceptions happen: sometimes you really do need to sleep on a problem and come back to it with a clearer head).

aaa thank u <3 fights happen in a group as big as this and i think pretty much everyone knows that? accountability was something very important for me throughout writing this. seungkwan might have started fights, sure, but i didnt want yn to be completely innocent in every situation if that makes sense? fights are going to happen. they're a big group, people don't always get along 24/7.

riverbed, riverside, river itself--it really makes no difference to me lol. not to be like "this is my favorite seungcheol moment i've written so far" but i think it really is? that's purely for writing and not planning since there might be one that tops it right now, but i'm glad his role as a leader really got to shine a bit.

hehe i love physical acknowledgement. little forehead kisses and head pats and hugs and reassuring hand holding... i think it's good for them to be able to cry and support one another and be vulnerable. i think that's the point i really wanted to push with this chapter (and with at least two more in the future): that it's okay to be scared and it's okay to be vulnerable with the people you trust and love. seungkwan was someone i felt really would put his happiness beneath others. he's not the only one, but those chapters will come out eventually.

thank you though for the long ask!!! i was really hoping cheol's leadership would be pretty solid since it was important to me that he listened to both sides and made sure everyone was cared for.

have fun <3 it's really not all that much, but just an expansion on one scene and an additional one where seungkwan gets to talk about his feelings with some people he really should have talked to.

thank u again for the long ask hehe i love getting super long asks and getting to talk abt my writing thoughts <3

English Translation

During the difficult phase,

Are unreachable dreams just for decoration?

This stylish feeling

Is being swallowed backwards in the traffic jam

It's a must-have desperation,

No one can escape around it

The wings that should've been here can't be seen

I looked up even though I was crawling on the ground

(The dancing grey future) In my chest

(Pay forward) Started to rampage

Give a voice to the beat of your true nature

Trapped in memory, an unerasable pain

Resonating with the absurd of today,

I want to fly and flap my wings

Ah looking up at the irritating sky

I'll put it back on yesterday

I won't hide anymore

My ideals, my hope, get away

Fake images and affection,

I don't know how many scars I've seen on others already

Definite, Correction

It's not as simple as just holding in and saving

In fact, things like justice,

Should not be something to worship at a festival

I'll protect the ones I want to protect

With power, that's all I need

(Trembling eyes) Where are you?

(Until it shines) Are you crying?

I'll deliver a voice to your emotional heart

Undisappearing shouting, In the painful reverberation

I should have just held that hand without hesitating

Looking up at the sorrowful sky, going beyond yesterday

I'll just live on today

My frustrations, my impulses, get away

This empty reality can't be approved of

Sharpening these nails, ready to aim

The passion that I kept a secret

I finally found a place to let it bloom,

I will prove it to you here

Trapped in memory, an unerasable pain

Resonating with the absurd of today,

I want to fly and flap my wings

Ah looking up at the irritating sky

I'll put it back on yesterday

Because I can now believe on things that will never disappear

I won't hide anymore

My ideals, my hope, get away

俄然難題フェーズに　届かない夢は観賞用なの？

洒落んなんあい後方感　飲み込まれてゆく渋滞の中

盛者必衰なんて　廻り廻って誰も逃げられず

あるはずの羽も見えず　地を這ってでも見上げていた

(グレイに舞うミライ) 胸の中で

(払って前へ) 暴れだした

本性の鼓動に声を与えろ

キオクに閉じ込めた　ケセナイタミまたがまた

今日の不条理に共鳴して　羽ばたきたがってるから

Ah 焦らすような空見上げ　昨日にケリつけるんだ

もう隠さないで　理想も希望もガナレ

虚像•愛情　相手にどれだけの傷も見てきたろう

無論•正論　かざして救えるってほど単純じゃないが

実際正義なんて　祭り上げて拝むものじゃなく

守りたいヤツ守れる　チカラありゃそれだけでいいんだ

(震えてる目が) 君はどこで？

(輝くまで) 泣いているの？

群青の心に　声を届けよう

キエナイデ叫んだ　キリナイ残響の中

きっと迷わずにただその手　繋げばよかったんだよな

哀散らすような空見上げ　昨日を超えていくんだ

今日を生きるだけ　焦燥も衝動もガナレ

空虚なリアル　承認できずに

この爪を研いで狙っている

秘め続けた情熱を

咲かせる場所を見つけた　ここで証明しよう

キオクに閉じ込めた　ケセナイタミがまた

今日の不条理に共鳴して　羽ばたきたがってるから

Ah 焦らすような空見上げ　昨日にケリつけるんだ

キエナイモノも信じられそうだから

もう隠さないで　理想も希望もガナレ

(Jousha) She snorted at him. “You’re better off facing my brother’s wrath then getting a teacher’s blessing since we all know how much my brother loves you.” Her brother (the current Potions professor) had a huge grudge against the other, claiming the Hufflepuff was quote on quote, ‘bad influence’. She could only shrug at him. “No one gets to talk bad about my friends and get away with it. There’s nothing they can do about it anyways.” Grace gave a dismissive wave of her hand. -rose🌹

Joshua couldnt help but unintentionally groan at the slightest mention of her brother – as much as he adored being friends with Grace the absolute worst part of it was whenever he was faced with her brother. He could, overall, ignore his snarky remarks whenever Grace forced them to be face-to-face, but it was tiring knowing a teacher could so pettily hold such a grudge against him. “Your brother is a very overbearingly loving man, I really need to talk to him about all the clinginess,” He huffed out, his voice though tired sounding still laced with humour, there was no way to deal with her brother than to make a joke out of his absolute disliking for the boy. He couldnt imagine what his brother would say once he heard about Grace using magic without supervision and towards someone unwilling to the experiment. “I guess its honourable to defend your friends but dont play down what Albus would do if you start acting so nonsensically with your powers,” He warned, inwardly patting himself on the back for being so wise when it comes to scolding his friends actions.

Minghao Day || Punk!Minghao || Freedom

as inspired by Hazel’s post

Part 1

Minghao’s P.O.V.

The loud cheers of the sea of fans still echoed in my ears as I packed my gear with my bandmates. We were just starting to get recognition and every now and then there were more and more people at our concerts. I still remember our first concert what only our parents and friends attended. We really grow a lot ever since then.

“Nice job Eight.” Joshua, our guitarist, hit my shoulder. He called me by my nickname. I was the lucky eight of the team, their good luck charm. 

“Are you up for the after party?” Jeonghan, our bassist, came in handing me a towel to wipe off my sweat. Jihoon, our drummer, was still packing his drum kit but I could feel him eyeing us from the corner of his eyes.

“I don’t know... I don’t really want to party.” I shook my head as I close my backpack,

“Come on, our lucky charm needs to be there!” Jeonghan nudged me and I smiled meekly. 

“I heard that a record label will be there.” Jihoon spoke up and we turned our attention over to him, however he was no longer looking at us. He often did this to look more distant and mysterious.

“See! It could even help us in our carreer! You can say it’s a 1 in 2!” Jeonghan exclaimed.

“2 in 1.” Joshua murmured correcting him.

“That is exactly what I said.” Jeonghan shrugged it off and turned back to me. He put his hand on my shoulder. “So, what do you say?” 

“Alright... I will be there.” I gave in and Jeonghan jumpes up excitedly before high-fiving Joshua. I take a quick glance at Jihoon who smiles with his gaze fixed on the floor.

A few hours later we are already at the top floor of the venue where we had our concert. The dimmed lights and the smoke coming from the smoke machine makes the crowd of dancers look ominous. As we enter we recieve our welcome drinks and head inwards. I am looking for a corner where I can stand and examine the crowd but Jeonghan has other plans in mind.

“Let’s go and have fun!” He says dragging me by the wrist towards the dance floor. I shake my head trying to get out of his grip but no use. When he decides something there is no way around it. If I was the ace he was definetly the queen.

The dance floor is packed. I hardly have any room to lift my hand let alone to dance. I loved dancing. That was my first profession idea when I was growing up. I wanted to be a professional dancer but then we moved to South Korea. In high school it was difficult for me to make friends as I didn’t speak korean at all. My mom thought it would be great if I would try to get involved in school activites so she signed me up for the school band. That is where I met the others and we started a band together. They are really my only friends here.

“Hey I will go and grab something to drink!” I yell over at him trying to be heard over the loud music. I don’t think he heard me clearly but he nods anyway dancing along with the crowd. I manouver out of the crowd and go ever to my prefered corner just to examine and to luckily find the manager from the record label. I sip on my drink and wince. I hate alcohol so much. Suddenly someone bumps into me and spills their drink over me.

“Oh my god! I am so so sorry!” They say wiping off my shirt with their bare hand. I look up to them and reach out for their hand to hold.

“It’s okay.” I say as I look down on my white shirt that is completely covered in red wine. Another shirt to throw away.

“I ruined your shirt.” They say massaging the bridge of their nose. “I guess it’s not my lucky day.” They sigh and we finally lock eyes. “Oh! You are the singer!” They say in awe.

“Yeah...” I giggle shyly at their cute exlamation. “I am Minghao.”

“Y/N! I loved your stage, your band is amazing!” They say and their smile quickly fade away. “I spilled drink over a star... can this get any worse?”

“Oh come on, don’t worry about it. It’s just a simple white shirt. I can go and buy it at any of the clothing shops.” I shrug as I take another sip from my drink, the bitter taste is still awful.

“You don’t like your drink?” They ask and I sigh shaking my head. “Come on then.” They say grabbing my wrist and dragging me towards the bar. They jump over the counter and start mixing something.

“I didn’t know you were working here.” I say as I look around the counter. There is no one around us.

“I am not.” They flash me a smile and I chuckle. “I just thought you could use something to drink that is... actually good.” They hand me over a bright coloured drink with orange on the side. “Try it. If you don’t like it I’ll make another one.” I took a sip and the strawberry taste fills my mouth.

“Does this have alcohol in it?” I ask them surprised.

“Of course.” They say while mixing another drink for themselves.

“It is so good!” I exclaim taking another sip from my drink.

“I am glad! Just don’t forget to stirr it every once in a while so the alcohol won’t sit down on the bottom of the glass.” They say and suddenly a bartender gets closer to us. “Shit we need to get out of here!” They say grabbing my wrist again and dragging me out of the club towards the staircase. They drag me up the stairs. Sometimes I stumble over my own feet but they are holding me securely. We go out on the roof and the chilly wind cools my heated face.

“You are crazy.” I tell them and they giggle adorably.

“I know... but that is the fun part.” They admit it taking a sip from their drink. “So why did you become a musician?”

“That was plan B.”

“What was plan A?” They turn towards me with shining eyes.

“I wanted to be a dancer.”

“A dancer? That’s so cool!” 

“Yeah but it was back in China.” I shrug taking another sip.

“Well it is definitely not China but if you want to dance... then go for it.” 

“But the band is doing so good... it would be a fault to let them behind... plus they are my friends I wouldn’t have the guts to leave them.” I shake my head.

“Just because you are dacing that does not mean you have to leave them behind. I mean sure you can’t do both at the same time as punk is not the most dance capable music genres but you can still do it for fun! I mean if you really loved dancing why would you stop it for anything?” They encourage me and I smirk.

“You don’t even know if I am any good at dancing.”

“Well first of all you don’t have to be good... second of all why don’t you show me then?” They ask winking at me. I giggle putting down my drink next to me and standing up. They clap for me as I fix my clothes.

“Are you ready to get your mind blown?” I ask and they cheer even more loudly. I am about to start when my phone rings. I quickly pick it up. “Jihoon?”

“Hey where are you? The record label wants to talk with you and we can’t find you anywhere!” He yells into the phone and I can clearly hear Jousha starting a small talk in the background.

“Oh I am on the roof! I will be back inside in a minute, okay?” I hang up and look at my partner apologetically. “Um so... a record label...”

“Go! You will show me that majestic dance the next time!” They hurry me with a sweet smile and I smile back at them before running back inside. At the door I turn back around. 

“It was nice meeting you Y/N.” I say and they nod goodbye. I continue running down the stairs and bumping into my bandmates.

“What were you doing?!” Jihoon attacks me and drags me towards the record label. 

“I was just hanging out with a new friend.” I explain and Jihoon looks back at me.

“What happened with your shirt?” He asks with a judging look zips up my sweater.

“An... incident.”

“With our lucky eight? Who saw this coming?” He laughs and leads me towards the managers. I smile at the thought of this.

An hour later we say our goodbyes to the managers and they hand us their name cards. They said that our band has potential and that they will definitely contact us in the future. Until then we will be working more on our own music and finding our own sounds and melodies.

“So Eight... tell us what were you doing on the roof?” Jeonghan asks snaking his arm over my shoulders.

“He found a friend.” Jihoon smirked at us while the others had a shocked expression.

“That is why your shirt is ruined?” Joshua points it out.

“I guess they made me unlucky the best way possible.” I looked at my shirt adoringly remembering one of my best nights.

“Are you going to see them again?” Joshua asks.

“I hope so.” I smiled at them but my smile quickly faded. “I don’t know how though.”

“Didn’t you ask for their number?” Jeonghan asks and I shake my head.

“What are you going to do now?” Jihoon asks and I really have no idea. I don’t know how or where I am going to meet them, but i definitely will. Somehow, I will find them.

[feminariden]

His dialogue with almost everything really adds to him and his background, it has some really nice details like Jousha being found in a locked room and then getting locked again, it's a nice and subtly way to "revive" the tragedy, Jousha gets my fave quote in the game: "why i have to see this", my mood whenever i see sone really fucked up shit

Also his mom totally killed herself

My least favorite is still def Stella; boooooooring

She has an interesting backstory, a very cool world map, instead of her home it's just just an never-ending graveyard with nice touches like the apple tree, the piano and the fountain; you really gets her regrets, interests but mostly how much death she had to see, but she is just too cryptid and stoic to manage to pull out a remotely engaging personality, all her conversation ends as always blah blah death

So yeah cool concept character, poor execution

First last teacher and his sis, at first Fiona seemed a jerk to me, but then i realized that if i and my bro were trapped in a dream world where somebody had to die and i killed myself to save my him... only to see years later him getting trapped again and dying in the same way i would be pretty pissed too, Fiona really got all the braincells back when they were fetus huh

David is sure a well-intentional idiot, i still don't get what he was doing, dream plot aside what is the deal with the children? Taking scarred children to protect them and give them a loving home and that's all?

These kids needs way more than love tho, they are all terribly emotionally fragile and the whole game is just them reviving the trauma in the worst way possible, hell some of them needed therapy even before the "big tragedy" happened, Chelsy was so deprived of a real parental figure that she trusted a complete stranger to hold her hand and developed PTSD after the wolf incident; Jousha is a compulsive liar and an attention whore; Stella suffers PSTD, Survivior's Guilt and has probably suicidal tendencies, Allen suffers amnesia; Letty's abuse made her develop something like DID along with crippling mysoginy, showed by the fact that Letty's "idealized, strong and indipendent" self is a boy who serves to protect her so that she can "stay weak" and project into him all her rage and violence ("manly" emotions) so that she can remain loyal and subdue to the horrible woman that she secretely hates, in this essay i will

I have been playing Alice Mare and i got the 1-2-3-4-6 endings, and my favorite character is Joshua, his backstory is really heart breaking, when in the Torquise World, Joshua had the breakdown, i got really sad, much more than the girls, and the Crying Wolf is the saddest ending so far

Artist of the Week: Joshua Raiffe

This Artist of the Week is for all the people that often make mistakes and consciously fight the urge to play with their food at dinner. Joshua Raiffe is an artist and advocate for the curious and creative children at heart.

“Every child loves to create. I started creating as a kid, and children are the best creators. The trick is not to lose that passion. As an adult-artist I had to relearn what every child-artist already knows in their bones: there are no rules. Make a lot of sh**ty glass. Don’t let technique and the need for perfection keep you from trying and failing. Every artist’s technique is going to improve with time. I’ve always endeavored to create whatever I can imagine (I’m a big proponent of artistic risk-taking) – and the benefit of better technique is a higher success rate of the imagined becoming reality.” –Joshua Raiffe

GlassRoots) What do you think is the best way to support an artist?

Joshua Raiffe) Buy their work.

GlassRoots) Finish the statement. My art is most likely to…

Raiffe) Scissor sweep you from the guard position.

“I sketch on paper, on blackboards, on concrete and sometimes I rearrange my leftovers into an artistic rendering on my dinner plate. But, sometimes my ideas are not sketch-able. Sometimes the idea is a process or an experience I want to create.  In these cases, the physical appearance of the work takes a back seat.” –Joshua Raiffe on how sketching

GlassRoots) How do you stay inspired?

Raiffe) Keeping company with the immensely talented community of artists in NYC never ceases to inspire. Going out into the world every day with my eyes open doesn’t hurt either. But if I narrowed the question down to the glass artist, I’d have to say Matt Szosz.  He thinks about glass in a very unique way and his processes really push the boundaries of the material.

“Making creativity your career is a challenge. Creating is easy. That’s one of my favorite parts of my job; there is nothing typical about my workdays and we’re transmuting raw materials into art. We get to be alchemist everyday!” –Jousha Raiffe on the highs and lows of being a creative

GlassRoots) Describe your work in three words.

Raiffe) Hmmmm OH? YEAH!

GlassRoots) Okay; last question, what is your “Holy Grail” tool to use?

Raiffe) I have a humungous tungsten rod that I love.

GlassRoots would like to extend a very special thank you to Joshua Raiffe for allowing us to highlight him and his work! If you would like to see more of his work please visit his website, check out the current exhibition at Brooklyn Glass in  and be on the look out for the 2017 New Glass Review, coming out in May!

¹ Cipangu (sometimes spelled Zipangu) is the first “western” name for Japan, based on descriptions of the country that Marco Polo heard in China.  

² The first sentence Japanese students learn in English class (and the only thing many remember after graduating) is “this is a pen”. This song pokes fun at Japanese that may be too flustered to reply to tourists and just regurgitate the only English phrase they know.

³ Ohayo gozaimasu is plain “Good morning”, but I left it untranslated as it seems to fit with an over-excited tourist “practicing” phrases in the native language.

⁴ This is a nonsensical portmanteau between yummy (pronounced “yami” in Japanese) and gochisousama (“that was delicious/thank you for the meal”).

⁵ HOCCHIKISU is a good example of wasei-eigo in that it’s written in katakana and “sounds” English but no English speaker would recognize it or ever guess it’s the Japanese word for “stapler” (if you’re curious why, it’s because the first staplers there were sold by a company named Hotchkiss.)

I skipped notes on what a lot of stuff was (mostly because they’re regional “must-see’s” or “must-eats” and the fun is in looking them up yourself) but if there’s anything anyone needs an explanation on, feel free to let me know.

(Also, before it’s asked: yes, there’s some Osaka-ben in here, I just gave up on translating it to an English equivalent OTL).

He did not wish to burden her with his fears, after all, he should be well introduced with loss and yet here he was, worrying about what her troubles would bare her with. He knew far too well that she was adamant and knew her own mind, and nothing he could do would change that. Feeling her lips on his, Harry was quick to cradle her cheeks, lips molding into hers with a soft groan leaving his lips shortly after. He craved her, and she knew that--- yet here they were, in fight when all he wanted to do was hold her. “You’re going out there, you’re going to end up getting killed, Liv.” He sighed, rubbing his temples with his fingers before looking her in the eye. “How can you promise something that could possibly happen?”

It is a selfish decision but this isn’t exactly her battle to fight, the only reason why Liv needed to be there because well — Jousha ordered her to be here, with her family to complete whatever objective they’ve been planning to do. Not to mention, he have a tendency to make things bigger than they are. Liv knows this wasn’t about the merge and know for a fact that Luke is more than capable in taking care of himself. “I...” There was clear hesitation in her eyes, maybe it is time for her to think of herself just this one time. “I know Luke would be safe with the coven and everyone else, do you think... they’ll ever forgive me for choosing to stay?”

(Jousha) 1/2 Grace ran her fingers through her messy locks, successfully making it look a lot less messier. When he reminded her of what happened the last time, she couldn’t laugh sheepishly at the memory. “I didn’t know you were going to deflect it!” She replied, the guilt flooding in. “Don’t remind me. I still feel really bad about it.” She groaned. After the incident, she had spent most of her free time trying to perfect the spell to prevent other further accidents from happening. -rose🌹

(Joshua) 2/2 ”I spent a lot of my time trying to perfect the spell after that and I finally completed it today.” Hopefully nothing goes wrong this time, she thought. -rose🌹

Joshua couldn’t help but scoff, “You didn’t expect me to deflect your spell when you told me only minutes before that I was your test dumby? Yah, I have a will to live as well, you know?” He retorted with a shake of his head, his hands resting on the dip of his hip as he watched you fidget, a nervous habit he’s come to notice when you were feeling particularly bad about something; Neville’s said the minor burning to his ankles were healing quickly so he hoped your guilt would heal with it. “So you’re asking me to test it out once more? I kind of need to walk for the next two weeks, are you sure my fate isn’t already set with Nevilles?”
