@themckaytriarchy sent Don’t lie. Tell fragments of the truth. ❜ - Nica

Nica laughs, the sound catching a little in her throat before she shakes her head. "Fragments of the truth? That still sounds like lying, just phrased differently," she says with a soft roll of her eyes. She understand Tess's concern, though. Nica hasn't had a lot of dealings with SHIELD, but she knows a lot about how they work. Chucky almost curls around her protectively, trying to integrate himself again as best as possible. She's rubbing her hand up and down her arm, fingers hovering a little over the only tattoo on her body.

"What got me on their radar, anyway?" The question is soft, maybe a little softer than she had meant. "Or is it more of a situation where they're suspicious of you, and think they can get answers from me?" Something tells Nica its going to be more in the area of the second one, rather than the first. In the past, Nica would have found it a little difficult to do anything remotely close to lying to government agents.

Now, with Chucky, she knew that lying was probably the best thing for their situation. She and Chucky were closer than she'd really wanted at first, although it was something that she'd gotten used to after a time.

She pushes a hand through her hair and she looks at Tess, the faintest smile working up at the corners of her mouth. "I'm assuming it'll be like actual questioning, in an interrogation room."

@diviines sent “ i could never hate you. not really. “ / lilith to nica !

the young woman raises a brow, looking at the other with something close to a quizzical expression. "that's the closest i'm going to get to hearing that you like me, isn't it?" she asks, looking at them before a smile quirks up at the corners of her mouth. she gives a small shrug, then leans back a little in her wheelchair. "i'll take it."

"Send me a ship and I’ll tell you..." meme: Nica and Tess

Who asks the other on dates: Believe it or not, they'll alternate. Its something that they had talked about, but Nica hadn't realized it was actually something that they had done. The big dates ( like anniversaries ) are one things that they both agree on, && those are usually more extravagant. However, neither complains much about a nice night at home. Who is the bigger cuddler: They both are, honestly. Tess gives off a lot of body head, which Nica is completely fine with. She's even gotten to the point where she doesn't need any other blankets than a top sheet.

Who initiates holding hands more often: Nica, but mainly when they're just sitting on the couch. Whenever Nica uses her wheelchair or Chucky clicks in enough for her legs to work && she has to use her crutches, Tess puts her hand on either of Nica's shoulder in order to make sure the other's hands are free.

Who is more possessive: Tess does, but its just mainly when Chucky rears his head && makes some off comment about Nica. He's gotten better about it, mainly because he likes his body privileges, so he's developed some level of respect for Tess. He keeps any other comments or thoughts to himself, knowing that Nica would at least keep some of his thoughts private.

Who kills the spider: Tess, but that's mainly because Nica doesn't move around a lot. Sure, she'll get some help from Chucky when he's feeling cooperative, but it isn't something that she can always count on. Nica has decently good aim, and she's frequently been able to toss something at a bug to kill it. Thankfully, Tess generally brings the spider outside and deposits it safely.

Who asks the the other to marry them: That's not quite something they've talked about yet, or even decided on. Like the eight-ball says, "Ask Again." Who buys the other flowers or gifts: They trade off, honestly. It isn't like they actually keep a running tab, but often if Nica buys Tess a gift, Tess will trade off and give Nica some flowers. They won't buy each other really expensive gifts, at least not without talking it out first. Who would bring up possibly having kids: Neither of them. Its not that neither of them likes kids, but Nica knows that she's not able to have any herself. If there's a chance, she'd rather adopt a child. Yet, its not something that she or Tess think about often. There's a lot of risk, bringing a child into the world. Throw in mutant struggles and the fact that Nica doesn't know who she is at times, and its not something she'd want to bring a child into. Who is more nervous to meet the parents: Somehow I don't really think that's an issue. Nica knows that her mother wouldn't have really approved, although it wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that Tess is a woman. It more relies on the fact that Sarah Pierce didn't think anyone would be with Nica, but that was more of her worries projecting on her daughter. Tess really doesn't talk much about her parents, but Nica really didn't press or pry too much. There were things that Nica didn't talk about or bring up, and she gave Tess the same courtesy. There's several topics that are completely off limits, and they respect each other's boundaries. Who sleeps on the couch when the other is angry: Admittedly Nica does, but its also done out of kindness and love. She knows the couch gets way too uncomfortable for Tess, and Nica's used to manhandling her legs to where she can curl up on the couch. She'll wake up to find blankets on top of her in the morning, lovingly tucked under her neck and around her to make sure that she stays warm. Yet, the blankets are never tucked in enough that she has trouble getting out of it in the morning. In return, Nica makes coffee just the way Tess likes it that morning and they've made up. Yeah, they'll talk about it later, mainly because they don't want anything left unsaid. Who tries to make up first after arguments: Nica, but that's a partial combination of how she was raised as well as how she doesn't like going to bed angry. Yeah, she'll stew a lot and make sure that Tess is at least taken care of, but she'll never go to bed angry. She usually cooks to make up after arguments, although there's a lot of times where Nica sits in Tess's lap && waits for the other to wrap her arms around Nica's waist, which ends up in them making up after most of their arguments.

Who tells the other they love them more often: Tess, actually. She manages to beat Nica to it, && there's always a further depth to her words as well as any actions that follow. Nica shows her feelings in actions && words, but she's trying to catch up to Tess in terms of endearment. Trying is the keyword, because she doesn't think she'll ever catch up to Tess.

@crownedhopelesss sent ❛ i didn’t realize you were in so much pain. ❜ / from andy to nica

She laughs a little, giving a small shake of her head. "'m just good at hiding it, you know?" It wasn't something that she meant to do, not at first, but it just started. Nica can't remember when it started, but she supposed her mother had played a factor in it. The time she had spent in Lochmoor and Harrogate hadn't helped anything, making her almost question what she was feeling or how it made her feel. Then, she taps the center of her forehead with her index finger.

"He doesn't make anything easier, either, you know? Well... he didn't make anything easier at first. Its gotten a lot better, but that's just as messed up as anything." Nica gives a light shake of her head, then looks at Andy. "You're sticking around longer than I thought you would."

100 favorite horror movie deaths PT 6!!

51. Deputy Anthony Perkins- Scream 4

This wasn't a gross kill really, he was just stabbed in the head. But I like it cause he still tried fighting despite what had happened. He stayed alive for a few more seconds before finally falling over dead and his partner did not despite being stabbed once too.

52. Margaret White- Carrie (2002)

I specified the movie here because I think this Margaret's death was a lot cooler than the other two. She had her heart stopped with someone's mind. I think I'd be terrified to go out this way and I honestly think that it was a cool way to go. Any supernatural like death is cool to me as long as it's done right.

53. Dr. Foley- Cult of Chucky

I kind of hate this character, but he got his face absolutely smashed in by Nica. Yes she can't walk but she was technically possessed, so she was able to smash in Foley's face with the brand new red heels that had placed on her by him. (Cause he's a creepy fuck)

54. Pete- Shaun of the Dead

He was bitten off-screen but I think he makes a cool zombie even if the look is so simple. He was angry alive and he was angry as a zombie too. This one is cool because it's kind of comical if you think about it really. His personality seemed to stay the same even when he turned, though you can't tell too well since he acts like every other zombie. It's the facial expressions for me.

55. Buddy Repperton- Christine

He gets ran the fuck over by a flaming fucking car. If that isn't cool I don't know what is. And he really deserved it cause he was such an ass toward Arnie. I think all antagonists of horror films need to go out in cool ways like this one, it makes it all the more satisfying.

56. Dr. Brenden Ryan- Wrong Turn 4: Bloody Beginnings

This is the most mechanical trap in all of the franchise. And it's really Saw like too, which is cool. He's pulled up by gears and had barb wire wrapped around each limb, which is then pulled off one by one until all is left is his head and torso. Shitty way to go for someone who didn't deserve it but it was cool.

57. Peter Strahm- Saw V

Another death that makes me really sad. I really liked Strahm and loved his chemistry with Perez. But he had to fucking die because why not and I'm pissed about it. Although he went out in a really gross way, he was trapped between walls closing in on him and he got squished like a big. You could see his bones snap and tear through his skin and it was nasty and you know that feeling when you watch something like it's happening to you? Yeah get the same feeling watching this scene.

58. John Bishop- Childs Play

He gets killed by his own bullshit because he stupidly has a voodoo doll of himself and leaves it down where a two-foot menace can grab it. Though I think being killed by voodoo magic is a cool way to die.

59. Henry Bowers- IT Chapter Two

Glad we got to see him die and glad we got to see Richie kill him. It wasn't really gross or anything but the scenes leading up to it definitely had me intrigued. The whole fight between him and Mike was cool and it was well done, and right before he can finish his shitting comment about Mikes parents dying in a fire he gets an axe to the head. Good job Richie.

60. Carlos Rodriguez- Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare

Another example of love this kill but hate this movie. This movie is absolute garbage and would be the worst of the franchise if it weren't for that shitty remake. The one good thing about this movie is this kill. Everyone is sensitive to the whole "nails on a chalkboard thing" right? But this takes it to a whole nother level. Carlos has a hearing aid and Freddy's knives on a chalkboard eventually makes his head explode since it became too much for him to handle. I think it looked cool even if a lot in this movie is like a looney tunes joke.

@scstrly​

Nica’s head swims as she comes back to the front. Her temples throb, both from the blunt force of the butt of the gun and the pressure from Chucky’s presence. Despite everything, she’s not sure how she feels about the fact that she gets a weird amount of comfort from the other. She pushes that thought from her mind. She doesn’t push it too far, but she pushes it down. She pushes it down enough that it isn’t something she immediately worries about. She can worry about it later, just like everything else.

Glenda nudges her shoulder and she looks over at the image on the phone screen. Forgetting herself for almost a moment, she laughs. Before she knows it, the laughter turns into cackling that sounds a lot like Chucky. The van pulls over and her attention snaps to Kyle, who looks ready to hit her with something.

“Its me, I swear!” She puts her arms up, keeping some distance between herself at the other woman. “Haven’t seen blood, so he’s not in the front. The laugh... its just something I picked up.”

“I just want to feel you.” / from andy to nica

nica gives any a slightly concerned look. they'd danced around each other for longer than she could remember, but she'd started thinking of it as a game. was it a game that she thought she'd win? no, but that was honestly what made thinking of it as a game more fun. there was that end goal to strive for, && having that started igniting a more competitive nature that she'd had to deal with infrequently in the past. now, chucky seemed like he was trying to make nica even more competitive. everything had to be about getting from one point to the next, rather than just making it one day at a time. she kind of liked the change in direction chucky had afforded her, even if she didn't like what it was costing her. she'd lost her sanity && the affection of her niece. still, chucky had given her some freedom that she hadn't thought possible. there were a lot of things she still didn't think were possible, && a few of them were standing right in front of her. she's in her wheelchair && she rolls herself a little closer to him, looking at andy with a growing smile. "what ... what did you have in mind?" she asks, trying to keep her voice as even as possible.

@monstersunderneath

[splinterdsoularc]

@frstwomn​ liked for a starter!

When Tiffany proposed a trip to Washington, Nica wasn't sure what to expect. She was happy, excited about the opportunity to see the city itself, but still a little worried. Technically, she was still a fugitive and knew the risks, but it was a chance that she wouldn’t have otherwise. Plus, it was just for a little bit. There wasn’t going to be an issue, right?

Right?

@babydxhl sent ❝ Every day is all about me. This one just comes with cake and a bad song. ❞

Squinting, he gives a laugh before shaking his head. "You sure you and Tiff ain't related?" He knows it's not the case, considering everything, but she and Mary operate on the same wavelength sometimes and it's almost uncanny. Chucky shoves several other thoughts out of his mind before shaking his head, motioning around the restaurant. "'sides, there's certainly worse places to spend your birthday." Could he think of any immediately? No, not really. He was sure there were pretty horrible places to spend a birthday, he just hadn't quite found one yet.

[fragmcntdstars]

" um... if you don't mind, i think i'd like a hug now. "if that's okay... "" [To Nica]

They'd been hanging out that day, and thankfully Chucky was letting Nica take the reins for most of the day. Granted, she'd needed to use her wheelchair about halfway through, but Tess didn't look like she minded it. The other woman had never really been too forthcoming, in terms of when she wanted affection, so Nica tries fighting the smile that wants to bloom across her face. She puts her arm around Tess and gives the other woman a hug, relishing in the feeling of the embrace.

While Nica typically does feel short, Tess makes her feel a little more short than she'd usually like. The other woman definitely makes up for it in other ways, and she's always fond of how it feels to be in Tess's arms. "That feel better?" The question's a little muffled, given how Nica's head is buried in the other's chest, but she manages to look up with a wry smile at the corners of her mouth.

[fragmcntdstars]

"They're somewhere around here, though," she says, mostly to herself, but she perks up a little. "I've wanted to go to New York. I've gone recently, but I could never go when I was younger. My mom thought I'd get lost in the city." Somehow, Nica supposes her mother had been right in some regard. Tiff'll take us to Broadway soon, just watch. I think there's a poker tournament in Atlantic City within like a month, Chucky says in their shared space. A nicer warmth settles throughout Nica and she's realizing something feels a little more right.

Out of the corner of her eye, she catches sight of a familiar red balloon. There's a small skitter of her heart in her chest, and then there's something that she can't fight. Some part of her wants to follow the balloon, but there's also a part of her that wants to stay with Eddie. Nica wanted to see how much of the town had changed, and she almost feels the textured stars that Pennywise had left on her wheelchair. D'you think IT would remember you after all these years? Chucky asked, bringing up the smallest part of doubt that had solidified itself in her mind.

No, IT has a good memory. There was something about ITs presence in the town, something that she couldn't really explain. She liked it, though.

"How did she take the news?" she asks, smiling a little at the mention of his wife. Nica looks him over, though, and there's a softening smile at the corners of her lips. She knows the look, and it was one that she had on her own face for a few years before she'd met both Tiffany and Jennifer. It had changed her life, honestly more than she thought it would. HEY. Give me some of the credit, kid, Chucky reminds, although there's no malice to his tone.

Her expression changes a little, and she gives a gentle nod. "I feel like that about Chicago, but I haven't been there in ... shit, its been years."

"Oh wow, twenty-seven years, huh? That's a long time." He so desperately wanted to ask how he didn't recognize her, because he knew damn well it had been twenty-seven years since Pennywise had completely wreaked havoc in the town of Derry. He wanted to ask if she remembered all the missing kids, if perhaps she had lost one of her friends to the slew of murders. He knew he had only been a Freshman when all that had happened, and Nica didn't look older than him at all - in fact she looked younger. Maybe she was too young to remember, thank fuck for her.

"Hopefully you aren't stuck here too long, if the only reason you came was to see a friend who isn't even here anymore." He didn't imagine what she would possibly do just sitting around Derry, Maine for a few days. There hadn't been much to do back then, and it didn't seem like there was much to do now, other than the Derry Days Festival being in town. He willingly took the bag that was offered to him, smiling softly. "I don't mind at all, really." He didn't need to use his hands to steer a wheelchair like she did, and the town was small enough that he knew they wouldn't be walking far.

"I'm from New York. I mean, well, I'm from here obviously, but I live in New York now. With my wife." He flinched even saying that, the wedding ring on his finger feeling like it was burning a hole right through his skin. Now that he had gotten most of his memories back, he remembered a lot of things - including the fact he wasn't remotely attracted to women. "I'm out here visiting a friend as well. Well, a few friends. Reunion of sorts, I guess you could say. I just wish it was anywhere but here. This town has too many bad memories for me."

"  Furious  ?  "  he  repeats  ,  voice  almost  breaking  from  the  emotions  that  coursed  through  him  .  "  Don't  think  furious  cuts  its  right  now  ,  toots  ,  "  Chucky  says  ,  dragging  a  hand  down  his  face  .  His  anger  contorts  Nica's  features  a  little  ,  the  vein  on  his  forehead  bulging  to  the  point  he's  worried  that  it  would  completely  pop  .  He's  staring  at  the  charred  chassis  of  what  had  been  Tiff's  prized  Pontiac  .  Chucky's  known  how  she's  felt  about  that  car  since  the  moment  she'd  purchased  it  .

Now  –  now  its  on  fire  in  the  middle  of  Bludhave  &&  he's  so  utterly  fucked  .  No  ,  fucked  would  be  a  nicer  outcome  .  He's  going  to  be  on  the  couch  for  months  ,  maybe  even  a  year  at  this  rate  . 

They  hadn't  even  been  gone  for  that  long  .  Well  ,  it  hadn't  felt  like  they  were  gone  for  a  long  time  .  Maybe  they  were  –  he  really  couldn't  tell  sometimes  when  he  was  with  Mary  .  She  made  it  easy  to  lose  track  of  time  &&  he  wasn't  the  greatest  at  making  sure  he  kept  a  schedule  either  .

His  options  dwindled  the  longer  he  waited  ,  but  he  knew  of  only  one  way  to  get  out  of  this  .  "  I  need  to  find  another  fucking  Pontiac  .  "
