tai chi always calmed lei down, the slow calculated movements brought her quickened anxious heart beat back to a normal pace. usually she’d do this inside, in the comfort of her own room but the sun had started to peak out from the clouds. being blind and doing normal things was something so many people loved to gawk at. the idea of a blind girl doing anything other than being helpless was a spectacle to those who walked by her in the park. “ i’m blind not deaf, you can stop whispering. “
loriel moved to offer some kind of explanation ; to state that she was simply humming to the sheet music she had shuffled in her hand, before she so acutely remembered that she didn’t have to explain herself. to anyone. and so her mouth hung open for a minute, flapping closed, ‘ so could you hear what i was saying then ? ‘ she asked, lies spilling through her teeth, ‘ that you’re a bomb ass fighter ? ‘
❝I’d take drugs to help me sleep, but I can’t risk groggy mornings.❞ // @feelthestxrm [ still accepting. ]
‘ wait, you need to sleep ? ‘ great thing for loriel to just be learning now, ‘ i genuinely just thought you vibrated through existence -- no way, you’re pulling my leg -- ‘
❝ Is there anywhere you don’t seem out of place. ❞ // / @daliadorrance [ still accepting. ]
‘ oh, um -- ‘ loriel instinctively began to hunch slightly, lowering her shoulders slightly. ‘ well, uh -- i’m not the only tall person in this town. maybe if i joined the local basket ball team ? s’not that bad though, being different, right ? ‘
LORIEL ANGELADOTTIR + government assigned kins sidekick task 06.
kayle, league of legends - big buff angel lady with a sword aside - she fights for justice above all else, but acts as judge jury and executioner. she thinks herself righteous, and can forget of opinions other than her own.
sailor jupiter, sailor moon - the tallest amongst her friends, and comes with that the weight of the world you have to hoist above everyone elses head. it’s also a point of self consciousness; a contradiction with any more stereotypically girly tendencies one might carry. it’s loyalty to a fault, and duty, justice, unto death.
ginny weasley, harry potter - fiery redhead with a mouth that’s better not crossed; manipulated in youth and grew up all the stronger. family ties are the hardest to break. genetic ginger. an often overlooked but invaluable member to any team. can easily hold her own in a fight.
troy bolton, high school musical - if you look like you are made for a sport, people are less inclined to let you enjoy singing, or musical theatre, or acting. that’s it. that’s the tie. i just put this here because i could so i did.
adora, she-ra - in the words of mermista ‘ she’s an 8ft giant with a sword. we want her on our side.’ dorky, often in trouble, believes all problems can be solved if you all work together, led astray into a group with malicious tendencies to come around only later to realise that they were blindsided. heel-turn to the good side.
korra, legend of korra - big biceps. big into the #ladies. a strong group of friends, and a stronger sense of humor, but still this sense of self-reliance, the ability to do everything by themselves. a heavy reliance for gifts they were born with and a do first think later kind of attitude. always in some kind of trouble they know they can work their way out of.
‘ these are the last bags, are they not ? ‘ loriel questioned, brown eyes giving a quick glance over the still slightly messed terrain. the three sacks stacked on top of each other, balanced somewhat precariously on-top a flexed bicep. ‘ -- you think they would mind if we ordered some take out, i would throw all of the rubble into the sun for a big mac right now.’ / @queenofillusionsx
“`woah!” They hop back a little, hands raised, but annoyingly a stubborn 5'2". normally with a sword pointed at their chest, cassie would be a little more defensive, get a little bigger, but that wasn’t happening right now, “well gee, thanks Lor,” sarcasm seeps through their voice, “your guess is as good as mine. people are acting really weird. pretty…. aggressive, too,” they finish pointedly.
‘ -- weird indeed. ‘ loriel noted, lowering the sword slightly, but she was still clearly hesitant. ‘ like people knowing my name. telepathic aliens, no ? or ... skrulls ? ‘ at no point did loriel let go of the sword, but her grip was loosened, relaxed, if anything her confusion was making her more indecisive and passive than the usual fiery attitude she wielded. ‘ any other news of what is occurring, a reason for ... this weirdness ? ‘
Tommy has to crane his neck up to actually see her, but when he does he recognizes her as his team mate. “I didn’t run into anything, a- and I’m not small you’re a fucking giant,” Tommy spat back. Tommy tried to remind himself the Loriel was his friend, but it didn’t do much in his current state of mind as he felt the rage continue to boil over his rational mind. “I don’t- why would I know the way out if you don’t?”
eyebrow raised, and it took a significant amount of effort to not just scoff at the concept. of course, she knew that she was tall, she remember getting picked on for it growing up. for a moment, she is speechless, not really expecting that response. ‘ sorry ; i assumed that you were -- - looking for one. or trying to blow this place up with all of us still in it.’
with her towering figure, loriel could quite literally walk above the chaos with no one to attempt her. perhaps it was the height, or more likely the broad sword she was trailing behind her. unusually, the big friendly giant was heavily guarded, suspicious, and prone to threatening others. in an elegant movement she swung the sword around, letting it chose the target for interrogation, ‘ you // @sting-likea-stinger . you seem smart, do you know whats going on here ? ‘
Tommy was anxious enough to be stuck in the library with a bunch of strangers already. He’d quickly sectioned himself alone in a corner once they’d arrived and had every plan of staying there until the storm passed them by. Then the fog came, and with it came a sudden feeling of irritation that quickly turned to an unsettling rage.
Now Tommy was no stranger to anger, not even the kind of anger that seemed all consuming. Years of therapy had armed him with plenty of tools to calm himself down when he was frustrated, and he went through them all one by one but only found his anger growing. Eventually when it was too much to bear he realized something; he had to get out of here before he hurt someone else and so he made his way towards the library’s sealed exit.
He almost it too, then he bumped into one of the library’s many stacks and to say the poor books never had a chance was an understatement. As soon as Tommy’s fist hit the offending piece of wood it was all over as the atoms that made it up violently exploded. Tommy was enjoying the good feeling he got from blowing something to pieces when he heard somebody breathing behind him. The next second he was right in front of them, staring them down and screaming in their face, “What do you want?”
loriel knew rage. she knew anger. and she knew confusion. the feeling and weight of the sword in her hand felt right, but the lace of the odd dress she was wearing was alien enough to throw her off. also, the fact she was in a library, on the other side of the universe, in what appeared to be a fake / modified version of the earth she could once call home. but this was a hell ; not the brooklyn ikea one. it was a falsified something, and as soon as the asgardian found someone causing havoc, she could only assess them as an enemy, though perhaps by the way they were acting -- a fellow victim of whatever cruel god cast them aside into a fake forgotten realm ?
‘ i believe you ran into me, small man.’
6′7 stature looking down at the small 5′4, an awkward, and somewhat forced smile on her face, ‘ do you know the way out ; i have friends to see. ‘
“I think anything could be vicious if you give it the means to be. Give a bunny the right tools, and who knows where they will end up. You do not think so? I am sure somewhere out there there is a really mean looking bunny.” Which makes Thor laugh a little as he looks at the creature, and then back to Loriel.
‘ well, that settles it. ‘ a sudden determination in loriels voice, a sharp contrast to how her painted nails were squishing the poor rabbits cheeks, ‘ i will make him the most terrifying rabbit in the ten realms, so that he strikes fear into everyone, or at the very leats, a very adorable distraction, no? ‘
“i don’t know,” the brunette responded with a shrug, a small laugh escaping from his lips as he moved forward to look at the rabbit. “this little guy seems pretty friendly,” he cooed, as he gingerly held a finger out to the creature. “i don’t think he’d hurt anyone.”
‘ well, that’s no fun. ‘ loriel muttered, leaning back on the heel of combat boots, ‘ i think owning a pet so cute might blow my reputation, some of the kids i tutor are like little demons.’
Aspen looked down at the bunnies, confused, to an extent, by the purpose of them at the event. “They can often be more aggressive than people assume.” She shrugged. “However, I doubt it is an aggression that is effective when it comes to fighting.”
loriel nodded along, darkly painted lips pulling into a light pout. ‘ just as i had feared ; their aggression is only equalled by their cuteness.’ her train of thought paused as she picked up the rabbit in question, fairly large and a tabby grey in hue, and held it at eye level, ‘ he’s so adorable ~ ! yet those beady eyes -- could he function as a guard rabbit ? ‘
“you know, i’m sure there’s a bunny training app or something,” there had to be, though they didn’t elaborate as they bent over and scratched the furry animal between its long ears, “or you could make a pouch and just carry it around and it guards your happiness by existing.”
‘ -- - like on your phone ? ‘ loriel didn’t mean to sound as questioning / or as confused, as she came across. she just really wasn’t too sure of what to make of a bunny training app. ‘ i think they would strike fear into anyone; but it’s very soft, and thus an easy target -- - whats your opinion on bunny armour ?
I just had a very humbling experience at target. A woman, that I did not know, came up to me and took the gallon of milk I was holding and put it in her own cart, did NOT say thank you, and then walked away
‘ how liable do you think rabbits are to fighting people ? ’ loriel glanced up from the bunny she was previously preoccupied with, being careful to keep the mesh bell sleeves away from the bunnies twitching mouth, ‘ they’re so adorable, but they’d make terrible guard pets. ‘
