@laidbear sent tattoo ; Bear gives Isaac a (fake) tattoo.

Isaac is not really sure how he's ended up in this position.

This position being sat at his dining table while Bear flits around him, getting ready to illustrate the outstretched arm between them. Isaac thinks it must have something to do with his general demeanour, and people - especially headstrong teenagers - thinking they can walk all over him.

Only in part because he lets them.

"So, what exactly are you plannin' to do?"

penelope's breath is shallow and uneven, a strange panic gripping her lungs the longer she waits outside the shop. she wishes she like... smoked or something, maybe she wouldn't feel so twisted up inside if she dared to put an intoxicant inside her body every day like her mother and father did ( but she would never be like them, she had sworn to herself ). still, she struggles with her resolve as she gently taps a passing young man on the shoulder. "excuse me," she says, her voice light and slightly squeaky. "do you have the time? i... left my phone at home." ( isn't that right? she can't honestly remember. )

once she was satisfied with her work, she began unloading her backpack, taking each black candle out carefully, and one by one started the process of placing them at each point of the pentagram, digging a little hole to keep the candles up right once they were lit. after they were all in their respective places, she began to light them in a clockwise motion. by the time she was finishing, the sun was starting to lower. she settled herself in the center of the pentagram, laying back and resting her hands on her chest.

her eyes were finally sliding shut, ready to embark on her journey, when she heard the sound of the trees rustling, signaling that someone was on their way on to the beach. awkward. one eye cracked open, spotting the boy off to the side of her. a heavy sigh left her, like his being here had dramatically effected her day — and in a sense it had. ❝ am i in your spot or something ? ❞

"Trust me... I'm waiting on the day."

Though, Anita's day will most likely come with her death, but if her death means that someone will discover The Father's dark secrets, then so be it.

"What are you planning on doing?"

❛ Fanatics, you mean? Yes, praise be that no one has proven to be such a way thus far. There’s far more important things to focus on in Gilead, I suppose. Healthy birth rates and clean living take precedence over an author from the world before. Though, that's the way it should be. I would expect nothing less from a truly pious individual. ❜

what little he knew about her, and it really was very little, lead bear to believe that naomi putnam was someone he would view as a truly horrid woman if ever he had the misfortune of spending time with her ; but at least she had good taste where companionship was concerned. “ 𝐢'𝐝 𝐛𝐞 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐡𝐚𝐝𝐧'𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧. 𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐢 𝐠𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧'𝐭 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞, 𝐰𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐛𝐨𝐭𝐡 𝐛𝐞 𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐧𝐨 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐞𝐢𝐫𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐟𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞. 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞. ”

@laidbear sent ❛  04 .   a  kiss  to  apologize .

It was a very rare day indeed that Bella was cranky with Bear. He'd not done it on purpose - had complete free reign in her apartment - but he'd still been rifling, and something had gotten smashed. She was holed up in the armchair, rather than on the couch that afforded him the most room, when Bear comes to slide into her lap. He offers contrite apologies and a soft, chaste kiss to punctuate them.

Bella stifles a sigh - instead wrapping arms around him to pull him close.

"I know you didn't mean it, darling, I'm sorry for getting mad."

what genre of book were you written for, and did you survive to the end ?

written for a children’s book to live and tell a cute story

you are very SWEET and very excitable. you love to explore and have fun. you also have a love of learning and somehow manage to learn a lesson each time you explore ( imagine that )! when you do go on one of your adventures, like in your book, you of course manage to make it home just before the sun sets, in time for dinner.

penelope might have felt angry if she weren't so devastatingly sad once given the answer. the pointless and manufactured suspense gets her hopes up only for them to plummet through the floor. ( he was supposed to be here at two o'clock, knowing that he was almost an hour late made it seem obvious that he wasn't going to show, but why? had he given up the shift? called out sick? was he okay? did he somehow know she'd gotten ahold his schedule and so he changed it? )

she feels dizzy, almost like she's going to faint, especially as he mocks her again. "but he's..." she stammers out breathlessly, feeling a panic attack coming on. "he's not here."

@laidbear sent ❛  09 .   a  kiss  to  prove  a  point .

"Like hell you're in the store all the time just to see me." Callisto rolls her eyes. Sure, Bear was here more often than not, but that didn't mean anything. She had a couple of regulars - though none so young, or handsome as him.

She leans forward from where she sits behind the counter, propping her elbows on the wood in a silent prove it. Words he can apparently hear, because Bear simply matches her posture, and presses a kiss to her lips. One that has her own parting in response.

Prove it, indeed.

❛ I certainly think of Naomi-... Mrs. Putnam that way. She’s been such a wonderful friend to me here in Gilead. I find that we have plenty to talk about since she was blessed with sweet baby Angela. And to think that she wouldn’t have been within my life without the Sons of Jacob. ❜ Though, some days Naomi did get on her nerves. Not that Serena would admit to it so openly. ❛ I’m uncertain if the other Wives look up to me. I think some may have been fans in the world before though. ❜

ONCE YOU'RE  STRIPPED  CLEAN,  WHAT'S  AT  YOUR  CORE?

resounding truth.

you have a goal in mind, and others brush it off right away... why does everyone always tell you to follow your dreams when it's actually THEIR dreams that they want you to follow? your memory is weak, and your conviction is even weaker on days when you're reminded of how ALONE you really are. it's hard to go on without someone pushing you forward... is this what life is? a cycle of monotony, fuelled only by the desire not to trouble anyone too much with your passing? it would be nice to have something, or someone, to spur you on. i hope you find them.
