You’re really gonna face that thing without someone who knows how to dress a wound?

Apparently, Eden's snide comment had resonated because from that point forward, the Hamby girls were in on the plan, and oh what a plan it was. Jessica was adamant that Eden would stay out of the extra-planar hellhole that the others would go into and so they'd sat, packs full of medical supplies and getaway car ready should they need either an ambulance or a distraction, waiting below the rift between worlds for the others. Jessica'd been outside, taking a quick surveillance stroll around the trailer when the sound of Dustin and then Eden sent her running back into the trailer just in time to catch a glimpse of Eddie disappearing into the upside down. As Dustin began explaining, everything started moving in a blur. Getting Dustin through to chase down Eddie, the sisters following as quickly as they could only to find Dustin cradling the older boy's body, the other teens finding them as they tried to staunch the bleeding and getting him back through to their world.

The Hamby household quickly became an emergency room, much to her uncle's chagrin, but after a few days, things had quieted down to just Eddie recovering in the spare bedroom and Jessica curled up in the armchair at the foot of his bed, watching him like a hawk in between fielding messages over the walkies about what was happening out in the world and a few errands to make sure she was seen around town. The sound of Eddie rousing had Jessica abandoning her book on the small table beside her to settle on the edge of his bed, "Good mornin' sleepy head." She hushed softly as her fingers gently rubbed small circles against a small peek of skin on his chest not covered by bandages, "Well, I think more like, 'Good middle of the night' is more accurate but you get the point."

Steve couldn't believe he was actually here. THE HIDEOUT. Not necessarily the top of the line when it came to hangouts in Hawkins. Hell, it wasn't even in the top 5 bars. But here he was. He'd heard of a certain band that plays there on Tuesday nights. Never did he think he'd be showing up to one of Eddie Munson's shows, but his curiosity had gotten the better of him. Nobody knew he was there; not even Robin. The plan was to have a few drinks, blend in with the crowd, catch a few songs, and then dip.

Little did he know, there wasn't much a crowd to blend with; he stuck out like a sore thumb. 'I should leave' Steve thought to himself, but it was too late. The music started to screech and he froze in place. Secretly hoping to catch a glimpse of Eddie before he was spotted.

      Steve had made mistakes. Plenty of them over the years. They’d caught up with him, shaped him, helped him move on, but they’d never hurt him like this. It’s why he struggles to find any words, other than the immediate affirmations, as he does his best to prop Eddie up within his grasp. “Hey - Hey, no look at me.” A hand waves a few inches from his face, checking to see if Eddies eyes would follow, before returning down to support. 

      “What did I say about being the hero?” he speaks, loudly - a feeble attempt to both humour the man, and scold him for being reckless. “Yeah, you taught those bats a lesson, but you definitely paid for it. Shit.” briefly, his eyes scour for blood, and visible wounds that would look something akin to his own. 

      “We’re gonna get you out, alright? But you gotta tell me where the worst is. That bleeding has got to stop before you move.”

"Maybe?"

Send “Maybe?” if your muse has thought of kissing mine.

"Oh, right. Like when we first met? I'm sure I said some questionable stuff to spark that interest. You were totally checking me out, at least." Cherry trails off to mull it over. "...Unless you weren't? Still kinda wondering about that one, since you said you were into dudes. Not like it bothers me, I just like knowing if someone's looking at my lips to focus on what I'm saying, or if it's 'cause they wanna smooch 'em." A noncommittal shrug follows as she nods her head, as if to say, "I got it, man. We've all been there." A second later, she squints. "Rewind. This wasn't recently, was it?"

    Cherry yelped with joy and horror at the ease with which Eddie scooped her up. “That’s cheating!” Cheating at what, she didn’t know. “If you drop me, I’m gonna kill you, and then you can come back as a ghost and lift me up again.” She couldn’t recall the last time someone had carried her like this. Wasn’t she too heavy? Sure, she was tiny compared to him, but her muscle had to count for something—unless he had hidden strength she was only now aware of. She threw her arms around him for support and buried her face in the junction of his neck and shoulder. “I’m so dizzy, this is worse than a funhouse.” She didn’t trust him to not fall over, but if he did, at least they’d be plummeting together. “How are you standing? Is this magic?”

    With a nervous giggle, she managed to pull her face away from him long enough to survey the surroundings. “Giddy-up! You know the way? ’S probably easier if I’m the leader...” Which meant she needed him to put her down. “...but I can’t carry you the whole trip.” She pouted. It was hard to tell if she was genuinely upset by the idea. “Really wish we could fly home in our sleep. It’s snooze time.” She’d have fallen asleep in his arms if he’d let her, but then that would mean she was safe with him instead of the other way around, and that meant she would miss the chance to play the hero.

    “C’mon, we gotta go left. And then left. And then straaaight...and then right. Then you get to see me work my magic on the window.” Her eyebrows rose and fell suggestively. “You’re gonna love my bed. So comfy, it’s like a...like a coffin. Lay down and you’re gonna be ready for that eternal slumber.” It was high praise, but it wasn’t exactly accurate. If she were to rest her head against the table they just left, she would have sworn it was just as comfortable.

i'mma kick your ass lmao

Have you made any new friends this year in fandoms your muse isn't from? Who? - This year has been the year of getting abducted into the Stranger Things fandom by @thefreak-86 and this nerd named @talesfromthevoiid which then gatewayed me to a bunch of amazing people like @zoomingupthathill @theolderh3nderson @helltothefire @havvkinsqueen @surfkng @vitaegratis and so many more! I've also been hanging around Stars Hollow with @offorester and @erncst and @paddyfuck which has been an absolute blast! And then I've also been adopted into the Euphoria universe by @depictedmorada @depictedblue and @deeplyflxwed and it's been such a joy! 

Have you made any new friends this year in the fandom your muse is from? Who? - I've been lucky to have a few Trubies show up this year! @headsxwillxroll and @itsacrowd brought Erics and @depictedmorada created such an amazing AU for Maddy and I'm so blessed to have connections for Jess in her canon verses!

How have you grown as a rper this year? - This year's been the year of imposter syndrome and feeling like I don't really have a place on the dash and I've done quite a bit to work through those insecurities and it's been a lot but I definitely feel like I'm in a better place than I was at the beginning of 2022

Have you learned any new skills through your rp blog this year? - I learned a lil Javascript which was fun lol

Have you read/watched/played anything new thanks to the rpc this year? - Literally the only reason I watched season four of Stranger Things is because of @thefreak-86 and then I went back and did a rewatch after it fully claimed my brain again lmao.

(If you get multiple of this ask, talk about multiple threads!) - Oh gosh, there's so many and I think I'm gonna kinda cheat and say the arc that @thefreak-86 and I have for Jess and Eddie. It's technically three threads but it's so good. If I have to pick one standalone, though, I've probably re-read our initial rockstar verse thread the most hahah.

Talk about one of your favorite headcanons you posted this year. - There was a lot of headcanons around music this year and I think my favorite is that Jess is a nu-goth fan in the 80s hahaha

@offorester​ gets a loosely plotted thing! 

“You didn’t have to come with me.” Jessica offered softly, a sheepish smile pulling at her features. Apparently fitting in was going to take a little more time than she’d expected, the clique of girls she’d caught gossiping about her having pushed her almost over the edge of losing her temper. Honestly she wasn’t even sure why they’d invited her. It wasn’t like they were really friends, they’d just been in a group together in class and she over heard them talking about the night’s festivities. She supposed maybe she shouldn’t have asked about it but weren’t parties what normal teenagers did? 

She’d been grateful when she found Dean amongst the party goers, though admittedly the ease with which he’d clocked her feigned disinterest in the party for the slight it’d actually been made her wonder if such occurrences weren’t all that uncommon in the quaint little town. She smiled up at him as the din of the party faded back into the background, the night’s sounds replacing music and hollering with crickets and sprinklers. “I’m okay, I promise.” Her head shook lightly, eyes rolling as she looked to the sidewalk ahead, “Mean girls aren’t anythin’ new, I’m just not good at dealin’ with ‘em.”

semi-plotted starter for @putyourbabyfangsaway​!

When Jessica imagined getting married, she’d always thought it’d be a small ceremony. Maybe a quick run to the court house with a party of a reception to follow, but that was back when she’d assumed she’d stay in relative obscurity. Being the King of Louisiana’s progeny had come with a certain amount of media focus but once power shifted and she’d stepped into the limelight, she’d realized just how much that required. 

The whirlwind relationship and engagement struck up between her and the King of Mississippi had largely been a media ploy. He was sweet, older than her but turned in his late teens as well, so at least they had that in common. They’d struck up a friendly enough relationship that when they’d decided to marry, the internet was taken by storm and honestly, she hated it. The eyes on her at all times, the focus on every detail. Apparently Americans hated vampires until there was a wedding to plan. 

Honestly, Jessica shouldn’t have been surprised when Eric Northman turned back up. Her engagement had been plastered all over the internet and television and while they may not have broken up on exactly bad terms, she hadn’t tried to chase after him. “And to what do I owe this honor, Mr. Northman?” She offered with a sigh, sorting through paperwork on her desk.

@thefreak-86 gets a plotted starter! 

Something was wrong. Something was very, very wrong. Jessica had been a live wire for days since Chrissy’s death and the grotesque murders that’d followed and Eddie being made a suspect. The news made her sick to her stomach, not only for the students who’d died far earlier than they should’ve but for Eddie and all of the cruel things people were saying about him. They hardly knew him and yet he was the first to be blamed. Much to the vampire’s chagrin, her Maker had gone on the defense. No matter how much she protested, he was certain she’d had something to do with her classmates’ deaths and so she’d been grounded with a command and all she could do was beg for some piece of news from her “friends.” 

From what she could sense, Eddie was okay. Anxious, scared, but alive. The redhead had begged for days on end to be able to go to him, to bring him home to hide out as all of this was figured out but Bill wouldn’t budge. He’s got enough to deal with and the last thing we need is attention comin’ our way. And so she waited, clinging to that familiar connection that’d built between their blood. 

And then one night it changed. That shadowed version of Eddie that lived within her was painted technicolored with emotions, swelling with the ebbs and flows of whatever he was doing and she smiled, excited that whatever was going on was so different than before. Until it wasn’t. Until that aching fear, the sting of-- She couldn’t tell but intrinsically she knew something had shifted. And then he started fading, slipping from that familiar bond and sending the redhead scrambling for her Maker. It only took a moment of begging, her upset a live spark threatening to burn the house down and taking Bill with her. Bill, he’s dyin’ I can feel it. I can’t let him die. 

There was no time like the present for the younger vampire to learn how to follow that tie she’d created with Eddie (something she and Bill would definitely be speaking about later), and the sound of Dustin’s voice screaming for Eddie pointed them the final stretch. Jessica’s gaze went to the hole in the ceiling that Dustin was screaming into and her stomach lurched. Whatever this place was, it wasn’t good. Neither she nor Dustin took more than a second of clarification before the vampires joined in building a tower tall enough for the three of them to tumble through the ceiling. The details could be hashed out later, right now they had a mission. 

This place felt wrong and it was almost as distracting as the gossamer thin bond still linking her to Eddie. Time was running out. Dustin spied his body first and her heart sank. She was on the ground beside him in the blink of an eye, cool palm shaking as it brushed over his forehead, “Hey, hey, hey, you’re gonna scare Dustin.” She teased with a trembling voice as she clamped down on her tears. The last thing Dustin needed was that visual as Eddie lay hurt between them. “Everythin’s gonna be okay, you’re okay.” She pressed her lips to his forehead, “Bill’s gonna help, okay?” Crystal blue gaze scanned over his features. He was so cold already. Fuck. “Everythin’s gonna be okay.”

plotted starter for @thefreak-86 !

“I can’t give you a normal life!”

“You think I care for normal!"

"I don't know! Maybe one day you would! And you deserve to have that chance!"

That argument haunted the vampire for years after she and Eddie split. So many nights the words would come floating back to her, the look in his eyes as she hid the memories they’d made together as they agreed, and she’d inevitably reach for the phone. Before she could dial she always reminded herself: they’d had the fight for a reason. They’d made their pact for a reason. No matter how much her heart yearned for the boy who’d shown her the world, she would give him the opportunity to have the life that so many of their fellow Hawkins High School graduates had begun to set up for themselves. 

10 years. Ten years she navigated through a largely nomadic lifestyle, taking odd jobs here and there before inevitably checking back in with her Maker. She’d stay for awhile wherever Bill was then take off again, painting, writing, and exploring the world yet largely unattached to it. She supposed it was the countdown in her head. Every year that passed was a year closer to Eddie. Or so the selfish part of her hoped. She’d made a point to not keep up with what he was doing, pointedly avoiding Ohio all together if she could. In her heart of hearts she knew that if he was happy, she’d walk away for good. Stay away and simply cherish the time she’d had with him. But if he wasn’t. . . 

That was the thought as her VW bus eased to a stop in a quaint little neighborhood, across the road from the picture perfect house she could hardly imagine Eddie wanting to live in. Everything was so. . . Manicured. Jessica folded her arms over the top of the steering wheel, watching the windows for some sign of life. How would she be able to tell if he was happy without talking to him? She hadn’t really considered it, but as she studied the silver mini-van in the driveway she supposed it was because this was the last place she’d expected to find him. The redhead was about to look away and double check the address she’d been given from the Hawkins Alumni Association (a minor red flag that he’d even kept up with them that was now screaming in the back of her mind) as the sound of the front door opening caught her attention. At first she wasn’t certain it was her Eddie. Hair clipped short and tight, a dull suit hanging from his shoulders that’d turned him into a walking rectangle, and a fucking briefcase? Ginger brows knit together, that impulse control she’d so carefully built over the last decade slipping when it came to him. Let me see your smile, let me see that you’re happy she mentally called to him, but it wasn’t there. He looked tired. 

Before she had time to rethink anything she was hopping out of the driver seat, hands buried in her denim jacket as she lightly jogged across the quiet street, a smile playing her features, “Excuse me, sir? Know where a girl might get a bite to eat around here?”

My #1 post of 2022

@thefreak-86​ said :  ✴ for Jess’ reaction to Eddie kissing someone else

They weren’t anything official. They were flirty and they hung out and sure she found herself counting down the minutes until they were planned to see one another again but she hadn’t told Eddie that. So the sharp flame of jealousy wasn’t fair. It didn’t matter that as she watched his fingers weave into the other’s girl’s hair, she wished it was hers. She’d held back because of what she was. Who would want to kiss her? She’s technically dead. And so she swallowed once, then again, trying to push the knot in her throat down as she clutched the strap of her bag so tightly her knuckles went white. She knew her smile looked strained but relief washed through her when she spotted one of her friends, “Sarah!” she called out, making a point to breeze just past Eddie and the giggling girl in front of him as she fell into step with the girl from her English class, “Hey! Let’s walk together, yeah?” Glassy gaze looked over her shoulder once more to see if Eddie even cared that she’d seen, then returned to the girl now gabbing beside her.

@thefreak-86​ said :  “ we don't have to do this if you don’t want to. “

“Eddie. . .” The girl giggled softly, her voice honeyed with anticipation. The tip of her nose gently brushed against his, her fingers splaying to cup his jaw. This was the moment she’d been waiting for if she were honest; To be completely herself and completely accepted by Eddie. And so she smiled, the faintest flicker of her heart racing in her chest as she neared him, “I’ve wondered what it’d be like to kiss you for a very long time. I definitely want to.” Sea glass gaze searched his golden one, “As long as you still do?”
