You are going to be so much more than ‘enough’ for someone someday.

⇁ TOM

        “Yes I’m… lookin’ for someone. Have you seen a gentleman with a jagged scar across his face, like this?” Thomas asked softly, lifting a metal finger to trace a path diagonally across his cheek and over his nose. 

       “I’m thinkin’ he coulda come through here.” 

At first, her eyes were drawn to his unique features -- more out of curiosity than anything. But, then he was speaking. He had her attention. Breath hitches and eyes narrow slightly. “Kellogg? You’re looking for Kellogg?” she’s asking, a rage flashing behind her eyes before it dissipated to a more neutral and leveled expression. “I know of him. I know of him very well -- I’d like to find him myself.”

⇁ LAURA

“He’s not- I think he’s been… kidnapped.” It sounded stupid to her own ears, but it was the situation nonetheless. “For trying to help Travis.” 

“Kidnapped?” she echoed, and she almost wanted to ask why anyone would want to kidnap him. But she brushed that off quite quickly. “Travis? Diamond City Radio Travis? Why would that get him kidnapped?”

⇁ SARAH

“HIM BEING in the military shouldn’t effect his DATE LIFE- He’s either being self-conscious or meeting up with the wrong people.” Her words remained BLUNT, despite the softness in her tone and features. She’d look up at the other, raising a brow as she sat forward. “-I care about him, DEARLY and if what I heard the other night is any indication of how he feels-” 

Part of her thought it was hopeless;  if he was entirely set on avoiding relationships then there wasn’t much she could do herself. “There’s obviously more to it- I won’t make you tell me but-” 

River was in a rock and a hard place. Where part of her longed to make Sarah understand the state of her brother’s head -- the other that remained loyal to Danse’s insecurities. River frowns, tapping an idle finger against the side of her mug. She was quiet for a long moment, watching the bustle outside of the windows of the coffee shop. “Danse was engaged once,” she offered quietly. “A woman named Leah. In my opinion, she thought much too highly of herself; but I wasn’t about to stand in the way of someone that made Danse happy. Maybe I should’ve stepped in -- Danse has always told me I’m better at reading people than he is, but ...” She lets out a breath before returning her gaze to Sarah. “Leah was able to look past his scarring -- when he was enlisted, he got discharged at 28 after losing his squad, and almost his life. I truly believe he owes his life to the medics. He nearly lost his leg in an explosion, and the aesthetic aftermath is something that has bothered him when trying to be intimate. Leah looked past that -- but ... “ Her lips thin and there is something almost angry behind her eyes when thinking about it, “It was the Fourth of July. Danse was thirty -- and she persuaded him to come to a party with her. He insisted it wouldn’t be a good idea for him to go, but she believed he would be fine. Danse ... -- Putting him in a public place with noises like fireworks isn’t typically a good idea. I had to come and pick him up, and Leah never called him again. Claimed he scared her. When it was her idea to force him there in the first place.”

⇁ SARAH

“IF HE likes me, why doesn’t he just ask me out? All the other guys don’t seem to have a problem doing it.” Her words were flat, nails clicking against the the metallic table idly; a sigh escaping her as her gaze shifted towards the street; her face barely reflected by the coffee-house window.

“Would it be easier if I told him?”

The question wasn’t a surprise -- not really. After what had happened the other night at closing, with the man that ended up half-conscious in the back of a cop car and River finally persuading Danse to let her nurse his knuckles once he got her home -- in between all of it, Sarah had overheard something that was much more telling than Danse usually was. Perhaps Sarah brought it up sooner than River expected, but it didn’t surprise her. She does sigh, however, leaning back against the chair as she rested her coffee on the table. “Danse isn’t the other guys.” She then gave a crude noise at how stereotypical that sounded. “Danse was in the military until he was discharged at the age of twenty-eight. You knew that much, right?” She lets out another breath and scrubs a hand over her forehead, as if she was fighting between her loyalty to her foster brother, and the possibility of finally seeing him do something that made him happy. "I think ... he's gotten to a point where he truly believes that relationships are out of the question for him."

Crying Starters

❝Are you crying in there?❞

❝Hey, I’ve got you. You’re safe now.��

❝I can’t stop crying.❞

❝Tell me what’s wrong.❞

❝Just let it out…no need to hold it in.❞

❝Don’t cry, you’re gonna make me cry!❞

❝Stop crying.❞

❝You have every right to be upset.❞

❝Please don’t cry.❞

❝Why are you crying over something so stupid?❞

❝I didn’t realize this would make you so upset.❞

❝Leave me alone – I don’t like crying in front of people.❞

❝I’ve never seen you cry before.❞

❝I’m so sorry for your loss.❞

❝I can’t believe they’re gone.❞

❝Seriously? Get over it.❞

❝I’m sorry. I was just telling you how I feel.❞

❝Please leave me alone.❞

[thefrozenriver]

Before the war, River was never violent. She always was / has been the type to see the best in people. She likes to think that anything can be resolved without violence. However, the Commonwealth has been proving her wrong. And, while it is not in her nature to fight instead of talk, it was in her sister’s. River doing any kind of fighting is basically her channeling her sister, Stella. Trying to act like she would, or do what she would do. After all, she is Stella’s younger sister. And striving to be like her older sister is not something that’s new to her at all, as she likely grew up doing the same thing.

Scrubs {Sentence Starters}

"Ahh. Uncomfortable silences and alcohol. Just like thanksgiving at home."

"You have no chance of being normal."

"Don't ever be afraid to come to me with stuff like that."

"A person doesn't have to be perfect to be exactly what you need."

"It's the kid inside of us that keeps us all from going crazy."

"I don't dislike you, I nothing you."

"Nothing's worse than a ninja - they're masters of every style of combat."

"Have you been in the supply closet, crying?"

"It sounds like you're asking me out on a man date."

"There's a good chance I'm gonna kill someone."

"The only way you could be more useless right now is if you actually were the wall."

"Gosh, now I'm too proud of you to be mad at you."

"Relationships don't work they way they do on television and in the movies."

"Sometimes it feels like you're holding back."

"All you do is bitch about your relationships all day long!"

"We're only four seconds in and I'm already regretting my decision."

"I can't believe you lost our bottle opener."

"I think we both know there's a little more to it than that."

"Does this lipstick make me look like a clown?"

"Why don't I ever listen to me?"

"Well isn't that just the pickle on the giant crap sandwich that is my day."

"Come on, what's the worst that could happen?"

"I can't help but notice you love telling jokes."

"Do you want to be alone?"

"You're telling me that you actually made a decision that had a positive impact on your life?"

"Can you get that for me? I can't reach it."

"Don't look in her eyes, she might steal your soul."

"I refuse to be judged by a grown man wearing a hockey jersey."

"That was my mistake. I keep forgetting that you're a horrible, horrible person."

"Why are you so afraid of loving me?"

"Do you want to cry a little?"

"Why do you have to jump out and scare me all the time?"

"What do I know about good relationships?"

"Newsflash! You can't drink and then come to work!"

"Why is there a pancake in the silverware drawer?"

⇁ QUINN

      She recognizes that look. Peels away the sharp gaze, the slow thin of River’s mouth. Magnolia is a rare gem in a cobble of muck and mud–that’s neither here nor there. River’s thoughts are her own, just as Quinn’s are. Even so, she regards the other woman in a way that’s almost feline: strangely knowing, coy, but never quite telling. Her mouth curves, and Quinn shakes her head, chiding.

      “The Minutemen are working on rebuilding. Maybe I heard her wrong.” Maybe. “But I was under the impression that you knew a thing or two about some of the old establishments that they had set up before–well. You know. One establishment in particular, actually.”

Gaze lingers on the stranger for a beat, as if trying to size up her integrity. She was a difficult read -- which, in itself, told her quite a bit. Less like the typicals she got in the Third Rail trying to preach up a story and bark up the wrong tree. She was not quite sure, however, if that was a good or a bad thing. The Minutemen needed hands, and there was no way around hiding that. After the Quincy Massacre, their numbers were pathetic. As was their reputation ; they had more than just mass to rebuild, and it was trying on the best days. Disheartening on the worst. “You heard correctly,” was her eventual, initial response -- glancing over her shoulder at the inhabitants of the bar before looking back to the woman. She hesitates for a beat, then decides to risk a chance on the woman, “I’ve been working closely with the Preston Garvey to try and make a base at Sanctuary; but, obviously, what we have in motivation we still severely lack in numbers. We would like to open it up as a safe haven for settlers who aren’t quite ready to take up arms with the Minutemen, but still want to help.” A pause, “I’m River, by the way. Do you have a name?”
