Send me a “≈” and my muse will react to yours pushing them into a body of water **(Asked simultaneously by wefightx) not accepting any longer

    She hadn’t even seen it coming.

    The week had been sweltering, with temperatures that made her feel like she’d been melting in such a concrete jungle. Riley had persuaded her — however reluctantly — that a day at the city’s pool wouldn’t kill her, that there were, in fact, life guards stationed at every corner and just sitting on the edge of the pool did not mean she was going to drown.

    “Honestly, Ellie?” Her friend had said, frowning, “You’re in college."

     Despite the jests and jabs, she made no attempt to get into the water past her calves. Instead, she sat idly along the water’s edge, watching Riley’s form very purposefully diving under water only to appear again somewhere completely different. Each time, her friend would look at her, and Ellie would reply with a sarcastic wave. No way she was getting in.     ”I never thought I’d see you at the pool."     Startled, Ellie twisted around to see who it was. A slightly surprised yet ever so smug grin was plastered on Nate’s face as he looked down at her, his shadow looming. Never in a million years had Ellie guessed that Nate would have been chased by the heat to a community pool — he was much more adaptable to any climate than the rest of them — but he filled in the question for her with a nod of his head. “Flynn.”     Following his gaze, she couldn’t help the moderately disgusted look on her face as she spotted Nate’s ever obnoxious roommate strut his way to the water’s edge where a few girls sat. “Looks like you’re being dumped,” Ellie commented, looking back up at her friend.     “Nate." Riley suddenly surfaced by Ellie’s legs, making her jump. "Saw you walking in. Can you believe her?” Riley propped herself up on the pool’s edge and jabbed a thumb in Ellie’s direction. The brunette’s smile faltered and her gut twisted. Ohhhh no. No no no no. She started to stand, but Riley caught her ankle before she could rise.     “It’s the middle of the summer and this girl won’t even try to swim. We’ve been here for over an hour and she hasn’t moved an inch from that spot.” Riley cocked an eyebrow up at Ellie’s drinking buddy, seemingly unaware of Ellie’s scooting back.    “I’m going somewhere now,” She claimed, the slight hint of nervousness in her voice as she shakily stood, balancing on one foot with short little hops. “I was planning on getting us some drinks soon. You want one?” She looked at Nate, hoping he’d take her subtle plea of alliance, but it was little use. His gaze was one of incredulity,  ”Ellie,” He said, leaving her question unanswered, “You’ve gotta be kidding me.”     “I just — don’t like water, alright?” Ellie frowned, hopping back another step. Riley hoisted herself half out of the water to keep hold, trying to keep a mischievous grin off of her face. “I don’t know how to swim very well and I’d just prefer to —- Hey!"     Nate, who stood a good seven or eight inches taller, ensnared her forearms and hoisted her up. Riley, already laughing, managed to dodge a vicious kick from her roommate and grabbed her other leg. “Let me go!” Ellie cried, trying desperately to wiggle out of either one’s grasp.. “If you don’t let me go, I’ll scream.”     Riley shrugged, indifferent to Ellie’s threat. “Go ahead. I know the lifeguard; he’s in my design class. Sink or swim!”     Without enough mercy for even a one-two-three, the two conspirators flung their victim into the water, her landing accompanied by an utterly horrified screech. At the very least, she had retained enough sense in her panic to hold her breath, but nobody ever mentioned how disorienting being underwater could be. Probably because she refused to ever have anything to do with it.     A hand reached out and firmly grabbed her wrist, hoisting her up and into the beauty of fresh air. Ellie gasped like a fish, little sputters of incoherent ramblings — most of them insulting — leaving her mouth as Riley slung Ellie’s arms around her neck and let her hang on. Nate was standing in the water, the remnants of laughter still jostling his shoulders. Ellie’s look of pure hatred only seemed to send him off again. “Fuck you guys.”     “Yeah, yeah, nurse your pride,” Riley responded, patting Ellie’s forearm. “Free drinks at the bar tonight — and I won’t even bitch when I have to take the both of you home because of your stupid history game.” Ellie knew it was a dirty trick at bribery, but she and Nate’s regular game was becoming a tradition. An expensive tradition.     Ellie’s brow furrowed and she let her eyes narrow as Riley looked over her shoulder. “I’m still pissed at you.”     “I know, But, this way I won’t be locked out of my dorm room when my shift ends.”     “The Great Czar and earlier!” Nate crowed. Ellie tried to keep her angry face consistent, but it melted with the fierce new burn of competition. “Drunk as a motherfucker.”         ”Uh, I think that’s going to be you…”      The trio stayed there for a while after that, enjoying the coolness of the water and toting Ellie around in it. Sometimes the dumbest, cruelest, shittiest jokes had it’s merits. Sometimes.

                   there's a shake of her head, eyes screwing up in disgust.                           that's what she gets for trying to drink a whole milkshake in one go.                                { sure, riley dared her--but she was just stupid enough to do it. }

wefightx replied to your post:Okay since I have never played a canon character...

i think the biggest thing is just getting into that joel mindset of how he does things and the way he’d react to stuff. just really understanding the character.

Yeah he is a very complex character and I want to do him justice. Thanks!
