persephone. 20. super strength. " life is tough , but so, my d a r l i n g are you. "

‘ i think that’s crazy. i mean, really think about it. it’s the end of the world, you’re worrying about oncoming death – of course, when are we not, really – and you’re smiling like a maniac just because it’s how you decided you wanted to go. but, i mean, you do you. it’s a harmless kind of crazy. ’ he was slightly confused by her words. ‘ the rest of you? what do you mean? ’

“I suppose it is, but then again if you’re right-- I’ll at least scare a few people before I go out. That’s worth a laugh or two right? I’m not too worried though, fighters usually don’t make it til the end of the world, cowards on the other hand? That’s their problem,” she laughed. “I don’t know how much experience you have on the topic but doctors love to poke and prod anything new and fascinating my body’s a bit of a trick-- I should be interesting but I’m the same old mold Da Vinci shit out years ago,”.

“ yes that’s logical, obviously. but it’s worth the breath if no one has a strategy. what happens if someone else gets scratched or infected? they could break out at any time and if we’re unprepared then what? anything could happen. “

“When you put it that way... I suppose it is worth a bit more thought. There’s more than one way to kill a person, between the however many there are of us surely there’s someone with some sort of power to kill that doesn’t involve close range? I suppose we need to get prepared then; if we’re going to learn how to deal with them now’s as good a time as any, Let’s be the hunters, not the hunted.”

“What’s with the disapproving look for,” she commented, her body language curious as well as a little challenging. Zero’s confidence didn’t lack stability but she never knew if she would ever take it too far. It could help in her down fall but she never paid attention to such things like that, finding it better to seek out the unknown and embrace it than anything else.

[badlyseeded-blog]

“Isn’t it bad for everyone’s reputation?” she began. Persephone watched Zero, and tried to assess her behavior, she seemed cocky. Slightly unhinged? She could deal with all those things, as she saw those in herself but it still unnerved her to run into someone so similar. “We’re friendly little mutants here, we don’t do anything scary-- we don’t hurt people and we definitely don’t talk to thin air,”.

for some reason, elaine thought it was a good idea to sit here for a change, usually being found in one of the empty rooms or even in the what used to be a canteen. elaine glanced up from her book when she heard persephone’s voice. ‘ –– hm? ’ was the only noise that left her before she realized that she asked a question. fighting wasn’t her forte but that didn’t mean that she didn’t know the basics of self-defense, in a world full of danger it’s pretty handy to know at least how to pack a punch. ‘ i don’t think i’ll be a good sparring partner for you. ’ the reason mainly that she didn’t want to hurt anybody. 

[badlyseeded-blog]

Persephone liked sparring in front of an audience, even an audience was absorbed in a book. A book that was apparently far more interesting than the general badassery Persephone associated herself with. Then again, she was a bit of a show off. She stopped what she was doing and walked over to Elaine, more than happy that she hadn’t received an abject no. She tried to make herself appear less threatening, before deciding that it probably hadn’t worked very well. “What do you mean by that? Think you can beat me?” she asked with a laugh.  She didn’t know what Elaine was capable of, but she was always up for a challenge.

       “ i’m GOOD, thanks. ”

     persephone made darwin uncomfortable, to say the least, with the shorter girl constantly making a conscious effort to hide her suspicious tone and less than pleasant demeanour. she was certain persephone had ulterior motives; after all she’d seen her fight, and she’d seen her skills and it took someone only of darwin’s background to understand she’d been trained. to what extent? she had no idea –– and that worried her.

       “ did you used to fight often? where you used to live, i mean. ” luckily it was easy for darwin to be false with people. not many around camp knew her past, nor her true personality, so painting on a smile for the other girl was easy.

[badlyseeded-blog]

“Suit yourself then,” 

Persephone wasn’t perturbed by Darwin’s appearance, or her reaction to her. In the short time they’d known each other their relationship had proven complicated. Simply due to the fact that she could tell that Darwin was definitely on to her. Surprisingly, this didn’t bother Persephone nearly as much as she had excepted, takes one to know one she supposed. Besides, Persephone wasn’t so sure she minded having someone in on her little secret, it took a load off her shoulders knowing she didn’t have to keep up appearances around even just one more person. That said, if Darwin even let slip to anyone else about Persephone, she might just have a new punching bag.

“Of course,” Persephone replied as she slowly staggered to a halt to take a well deserved breather. “In my village we hunted for our food, fighting wasn’t just some game; it was a necessity. Not that it wasn’t a game of sorts to some,”. She shrugged, she hadn’t minded the fighting-- but then again she’d always had a bit of an advantage.

They were called the basics but that didn’t mean you didn’t have to drill them every day like your life depended on it. Persephone preferred to hunt, that was killing two birds with one stone but she’d found that the people she lived with now were more civilized. Or at least, that’s how she felt they believed about themselves. Instead of foraging in the desert, or setting traps that had others means of getting food. Which made it all the more hard to swallow. In the meantime however she would take her frustrations out of anyone and everyone, with their consent of course.

“Do you need to spar too?” she asked.

[avclons-deactivated20231125]

blue tried to isolate herself. but it was hard when you knew you couldn’t survive on your own. and being completely alone didn’t seem like a good idea either. left too much room for her mind to wander to dark places. which is why she found herself with the people in the waste lands. ‘ —– is anyone worried about venomous creatures?? ’ it was asked with genuine curiosity. ‘ like the scorpian, anopheles mosquito, fire ant and y’know — others.’ odd, that she chooses a topic that relates to her power. something she isn’t fond of. 

[badlyseeded-blog]

“I don’t see why anyone wouldn’t be,” Persephone mused. She wasn’t a fan of the desert, despite having lived in one her whole life she had never felt quite at home. Living in the desert meant feeling raw and exposed, at all time and along with that came feelings of vulnerability. “That said, I’ve encountered very few. Do you know anything about them?”. She felt as if she aught to know more herself, after all she had survived this long shouldn’t she have encountered a situation where an antidote was needed or figure out some way to repel the foul little beasts?

    “Sooner or later they’re going to have to get let out – then what?”

[badlyseeded-blog]

“I don’t think it’s worth the wasted breath, we end them obviously,”

[apollovale-blog]

‘ the sense to smile at the end of the world? have you always been anti-earth, or was that a recent development? ’ he shook his head, smiling all the while. ‘ it is very imposing. but i don’t know about scary. ’

[badlyseeded-blog]

“Oh I haven’t got a problem with the world, I just think on my last day I’d like to go out smiling,” Persephone said, this time with a genuine smile which slipped back into a frown. That had gotten dark hadn’t it? “Oh no-- my face and doctors have never had too many problems, the rest of me on the other hand,” she gestured widely.

[dustinhttp-blog]

“However much you’re willing to give. It won’t hurt. But, you should probably take a seat.” He couldn’t describe the feeling to her. He was always the one taking and never giving. “It doesn’t hurt,” he repeated. “but I’ve been told that people feels like a bit of exhaustion, depending on how much I take.” He didn’t mention anything about memory. He didn’t plan on going that far with her so she wouldn’t need to worry.

[badlyseeded-blog]

“How’s the bare minimum sound?” she asked with a laugh. Perhaps she was being selfish, but she didn’t feel like sharing all that much of her own energy with someone she didn’t know particularly well. “I’m alright with being exhausted, I could probably use the incentive to sleep,”.

[badlyseeded-blog]

okay i’m literally SO exhausted i’ll be in and out all night but fair warning for those who send me messages that’s why the long response time is, well, long

[jackevers-blog]

“You make it sound like peaking would mean the end of my life as I knew it. Peaking is peaking– now going into the room with the manic and deranged.. that would be the end of my life as I knew it.. if they could catch me.”

[badlyseeded-blog]

“Alrighty then, I’m going to forget I heard any of that,” Persephone replied. She felt the distinct awkwardness one often feels when stumbling into someone else’s conversation; and she felt it tenfold this time because it appeared that she was witnessing a conversation this young woman was having with herself.

[techncpathic]

“Wh–why are we talking about this? I already know this.” Carter said seriously, staring at the person in front of him.

[badlyseeded-blog]

Persephone sighed loudly. She should’ve known better than to expect good conversation to come from telepaths, of any sort. “Well is there anything you don’t know?” she asked pointedly. 

[scvgeisms-blog]

hazy hues lingered by the horizon, flakes of dust covering their crumbled and sunburnt skin; dehydration obvious in their wrinkles. they were tired, it was written all over their harsh features. yet, it seemed as if sleep was not the antidote to their tiresome demeanor. ❛ y’know, i got sand in places sand isn’t supposed to be. places i can’t even reach myself. and now this shit ?? does it look like we got time for people spazzing out ?? i say we put ‘em out of their misery, yeah ?? be the bigger person – or whatever. ❜ 

[badlyseeded-blog]

“Easier said than done,” she replied with a small smile. “I think you’ve stumbled on the most compassionate group of people on the planet, and unfortunately that means that spazzing isn’t an offense punishable by death,”. Persephone couldn’t help but agree with them however, the more dead the better. But her reasons for wanting anyone dead seemed far more sensible than their’s. 

[dustinhttp-blog]

“I’m sorry to ask this of you, and you have every right to say no…” He ran a hand through his hair, already feeling the need to sit down. “Could I feed on you? I’m no help to the group when I’m this WEAK.”

[badlyseeded-blog]

“Feed on me?” she echoed his words back at him. Persephone was incredibly torn; she hated the idea of anyone feeding of her-- weakening her, however it was a good way to gain trust. And finally, more indulgently, she wondered how it would feel. She smiled at him, biding her time. “How.. much do you need? If there is a quantifiable amount,”.

she winced slightly as her fingers gently brushed against one of the cuts on her upper cheek , a sigh left through her lips as she continued walking , just hoping nobody had realized she had left overnight . as her eyes were focused on anywhere but in front of her , cassie didn’t see the person she had bumped into . looking up , cassie inhaled sharply , “ —— i’m fine . “

[badlyseeded-blog]

Persephone inhaled deeply and was met with the familiar smile of ‘human who hasn’t showered in too long’ which was by far one of her least favorite scents. She stepped back, and watched the person she’d bumped into and concluded that she looked like absolute shit. Not to mention the fact that she’d mucked up one of the few outfits Persephone could be bothered to care about. “I’d prefer it if you were more fine,” she said with a sniff.

[bradbvry-deactivated20160602]

“This is by far the dumbest thing I’ve ever said, but — I really need to see the inhumans. Come on, I can’t be the only one who’s curious about it.” Already, Jack’s eyes were alight with a scientific interest, practically bouncing out of his seat with equal parts excitement and frustration.

[badlyseeded-blog]

“Stop what you’re doing everybody! I think I’ve finally found a way to bottle ignorance!” Persephone called out, far too sarcastically. She turned her gaze back towards Jack, the look on her face grim and free of the humor she’d felt just a moment before. “Don’t say things you’ll live to regret, it’s embarrassing, and hurtful.”
