               it’s  insane,  the  way  they’re  trapped  now.  audre  can’t  remember  if  she’d  ever  lived  something  like  this,  where  she  was  unable  to  walk  freely  above  ground  and  watch  the  marvels  of  an  earth  that  still  managed  to  amaze  her  despite  its  wrecked  nature.  but  at  least  she  had  good  company.     “  today  i  found  out  about  a  movie  from  the  old  world,  it  was  based  on  a  true  story.  ”     they  started,  their  head  turning  slightly  to  look  at  derek  for  a  moment.  they  needed  light  conversations  like  this.     “  it  was  about  a  dog  that  always  waited  for  his  human  at  the  train  station,  have  you  heard  about  it ?  ”

"Dr. Moreau," Dodge starts, and in the immaculate, academic space of the councilman's office, he feels impossibly out of place. He lingers in the door, the toes of his dusty boots lined up exactly with the threshold. "Am I interrupting? If this is a bad time..."

@ofruinations ( victor )

Samson straightens up, rolling his shoulders back. It’s not often he enjoys being bossed around no matter how much he’s paid, but Vic makes it enjoyable. The ropes of light are warm on his skin. Pretty in the dim light of their private room. The quiet, intense look in Vic’s eyes keeps him focused on the moment. On the way his knees press into the hard floor, the tensing of his thighs as he holds himself as instructed. There are worse clients to be at the mercy of. “You’re getting better at this, Sparky.”

"You'd think people would stop dying for, like, five minutes while we're in the middle of a catastrophic event," She jokes, but doesn't really mean it. The stress of the storm is just too much for some of the city's older individuals. "Do you have a minute? I've got something in the morgue you might like to take a look at."

“  did  you  see  that  ?  ”  she  asks  ,  pale  eyes  squinting  into  the  darkness  ,  a  cigarette  clutched  between  bone  white  fingers  .  “  this  place  gives  me  the  creeps  .  ”

He hated him. God help him, he hated him. Bigger fish to fry, but save his soul... Scratch that itch, it wasn't his job. One day... "Anything... interesting in the wastes?"

"So, what's it going to be this week?" Kiran could never quite pin down whether or not he liked Adonis or despised him. The difficult thing was that they were similar, so it seemed as of Kiran's opinion of Adonis waffled the way his opinion of himself did. Though, one thing they often agreed on, was how to spend time off. "Coffee this week? Behave ourselves a bit?"

@ofruinations (adonis)

Thalia had many talents in life. Hiding her disdain for certain humans, especially the ones making up the council, was not one of them. In fact, she was one to argue that it was actually the worst part of her job. Kissing ass and taking orders was hardly bearable, but drops ins were probably the worst. She couldn't mentally prepare for those, and after a whole shift, she was hardly in the mood to entertain him. Placing her gear down, she doesn't bother to turn as she addresses Adonis. "Yes sir, how can I help you?"

"the dust is kind of a nuisance isn't it?" despite the good graces that had shined upon them during the solar winds, han jae song had developed the habit to complain quite effectively. MEWS had earned his trust, as well as the city planners. really, nothing within city walls was damaged by the flare? all belongings were they left behind in good condition? if he were a conspiratorialist, perhaps he'd have asked more questions, consider the whys and hows, maybe even investigate the residue that powdered and grimed the inside of his home. "but I suppose we should consider ourselves lucky that we're not dead." he gives the notion a shrug. "the tunnels were a bit cramped too, for my tastes." / @ofruinations

" so this is where they keep you guys ! " jess was starting to wonder where all the hunks of beef ( non-derogatory ) ( borderline insulting ) were ! why there weren't in the mines with her... or more in the penitentiary... or more literally anywhere else -- it's because this is where they were ! " ya know, i thought your kind was starting t' go extinct. "

"As I live and breathe." Seth's rumbling purr drips thick as he saunters up alongside Victor, his sharp grin glinting in the low light. He sounds pleasantly surprised to find the young man here, but he holds a fresh cocktail in each hand - Seth's a drinker, but it's obvious they're not both meant for him. He offers one. "The idol of Sol City, in the flesh. You having a good time, sweetheart?"

[mercy-grigoryan]

"I know you... don't I?" Mercy is sure, yet not at all sure. She could swear she has seen those deep, fretful eyes before. But he certainly is not one of her flock. Perhaps he is just a stranger, some passerby whose arm Mercy has caught, and who she examines with desperate and open hope. She so, so wants someone to be alive. Someone from before. @ofruinations (for Derek)

RENATO LUNA ☆ DEREK CARSON

"I guess, like, I didn't realize how long solar flares last for. Is this the first time everyone's had to go underground like this? Are routine evacuation drills normal? They should really give pamphlets out to people for times like this, don't you think? What to expect when your old home burned to the ground and your new one might burn along with it." Ren knows he's being annoying, even without looking at Derek's expression. He feels it, bubbling in his gut, along with his other anxieties and fears about being powerless in a powerless situation - perhaps both literally and figuratively. "Sorry. I shouldn't bother you while you're working," But most of the lunch crowd had already filtered out. "So do you...just serve the food down here? Portion it out? Or do you help cook it at all? I think I need to have a word with one of the cooks."
