pia  had  ignored  the  tell  tale  signs  of  something  happening  in  their  living  room,  flicking  to  the  next  page  of  the  tome  she  was  reading  with  a  barely  there  smile  tucked  into  the  corners  of  their  lips.  her  daughter  had  been  quiet  about  how  much  she'd  missed  lucien  over  his  year's  absence,  but  the  energy  in  the  house  had  changed  since  his  return.  often  marked  by  their  whispers  of  whatever  latest  thing  ko  had  convinced  her  husband  would  be  fun,  whatever  surprises  they  called  themselves  setting  up  for  them.  a  golden  fluttering  at  the  edges  of  their  peripherals  drew  their  gaze  from  the  runes  on  the  page,  brow  quirking  up  as  they  took  in  their  daughter,  wings  extended  in  the  doorway.  ‟  have  you  decided  that  i  can  see  whatever  you  two  have  been  up  to  now  ?  ” / @bdevourd

the  doors  hissed  shut  behind  him  and  the  brightness  of  the  sun  after  leaving  the  sterile  center  forced  him  to  blink  rapidly.  dorian  reached  into  his  jacket  for  his  lighter,  the  bandage  on  his  jaw  pulling  as  he  put  a  cigarette  in  his  mouth  with  one  hand  and  flicked  the  lighter  on  to  light  the  stick  with  the  other.  his  ribs  ached  and  knuckles  burned  as  he  flexed  them  but  the  short  minutes  outside  of  the  building  felt  cleaner  than  they  had  inside.  ❛  save  your  lecture  if  that's  what  you're  going  to  say.  ❜  he  spoke  when  he  caught  someone  else's  eye.

sabrina held the half-finished bouquet in her hands, stepping back to study it from every angle. the mix of deep purples, bright yellows, and soft pinks felt a little chaotic to her eyes, but she wasn’t sure if it was charming or overwhelming. “okay… be honest,” she said, tilting her head with a small, nervous smile. “is this too much, or not enough?”

[bdevourd]

          ❛  it's  too  much  ,  but  not  enough  .  ❜  the  different  colors  didn't  have  anything  to  make  them  blend  together  and  it  looked  like  an  eyesore  for  a  flower  bouquet  ,  but  that  could  be  fixed  easily  .  ❛  i  think  you  should  add  blue  and  red  ,  or  take  out  one  of  the  other  colors  .  they  don't  really  go  together  very  well  unless  that's  what  you  were  trying  to  go  for  .  you  could  switch  out  the  purple  or  the  pink  ,  but  i  kind  of  like  it  how  it  is  .  how  much  for  it  ?  ❜

Inkspell itself was a place where Verso found himself more often than not. If he wasn't at the flower shop, he could wander the aisles for ages. It was perhaps his lucky day that the shop was a bit quieter than usual, the lampad was easily lost in ignoring most others that passed by him in favor of reading every single title that he managed to gaze after.

Still, he was more morose than usual – if that was at all possible for Verso – as if the sky could open up as soon as he walked outside to dump water on him since the little stormcloud over his head wasn't doing enough. Just as a treat, for the silent gods to laugh. There were others in this aisle, but still, he was shoulder checked by someone as they dropped a book. The lampad grimaced and bent down to retrieve the book the stranger had dropped, only to look up into a familiar face that definitely wasn't the stranger who'd dropped said novel.

BDSM for Dummies was bright on the cover, and Verso looked between the book, then the face, then the book, then the face again.

"I think you...dropped this."

[bdevourd]

          he  wasn't  a  very  big  book  person  ,  but  the  thing  about  suddenly  having  a  long  life  meant  you  had  to  do  something  to  fill  it  with  .  he'd  never  gone  in  to  inkspell  before  and  decided  to  look  around  the  shelves  and  people  watch  since  he  didn't  have  much  else  to  do  before  his  shift  at  nevernight  .  the  couple  of  books  he'd  looked  at  so  far  were  ones  he'd  picked  up  for  kelsey  that  eric  thought  she  would  like and  the  sound  of  a  book  hitting  the  floor  got  his  attention  for  a  second  and  he  almost  bent  down  to  grab  it  too  but  got  beat  to  it  .  ❛  yeah  ,  that's  not  mine  .  don't  need  a  how  to  101  book  on  that  .  a  little  more  advanced  .  ❜  eric  laughed  before  he  shook  his  head  .  ❛  i  didn't  know  they  had  books  like  that  in  here  .  ❜

        it  had  only  been  two  years,  but  it  was  enough  to  feel  like  a  lifetime.  the  drunken  oracle  had  been  a  product  of  her  family's  long  history  in  the  hunting  society  and  it  was  something  that  her  parents  had  taken  the  mantle  of  without  the  help  of  her  or  the  rest  of  her  siblings.  with  her  mother's  passing  and  father  bed  ridden  for  the  foreseeable  future,  manning  the  bar  now  felt  like  a  surreal  experience.  faces  that  she'd  avoided  since  her  brother  had  been  disowned  and  she'd  renounced  her  membership  that  looked  the  same  but  different  at  the  same  time,  some  shocked  by  her  being  there  and  others  angry.  kelsey  tried  to  ignore  it  all,  passing  a  beer  to  the  customer  that  asked  for  it  before  fixing  her  eyes  on  the  new  person  at  the  bar. "  what  will  you  have ? " 

[bdevourd]

          eric  took  advantage  of  the  fact  that  people  wouldn't  be  able  to  recognize  him  easily  .  he  wasn't  scrawny  and  confused  anymore  with  more  confidence  and  if  someone  did  try  to  say  something  to  him  about  being  there  ,  he  could  make  them  forget  .  ❛  root  beer  .  ❜  he  didn't  want  anything  his  sister  had  to  offer  at  the  bar  ,  but  he'd  eaten  enough  that  the  bodies  around  him  didn't  sound  of  smell  like  a  gourmet  feast  .  ❛  maybe  an  apron  if  you  need  help  .  i've  gotten  good  at  making  drinks  at  nevernight  .  ❜  their  parents  had  kept  everything  a  secret  on  why  the  both  of  them  had  disappeared  ,  but  after  what  happened  maybe  people  wouldn't  ask  that  many  questions  .  

[evermyth]

it's not necessarily weird . the nymph is not trying to imply that it is , if anything it comes as a surprise . ❛ i don't know . maybe it made me realize that i never would have asked my parents to accompany me to the underworld . ❜ she admits , eyes staying soft despite the heaviness of that statement . ❛ i will try to remember ko , i like it . ❜ she decides , taking a step closer to the portal before she glances at the other . ❛ there are rumors that these shadows escaped a certain region down below . i know where it is , so i am going to explore . see if i can find any answers . ❜ preferably those that would help them get rid of the shadows .

          when  she  said  it  that  way  it  did  sound  silly  ,  but  chicha  laughed  as  she  shook  her  head  .  ❛  my  mom's  a  fury  ,  and  my  dad's  a  daemon  like  me  .  there  aren't  any  better  people  to  go  with  except  for . . .  i  guess  marina  since  she's  a  lampad  ,  but  i  don't  know  if  she'd  come  with  me  .  ❜  chicha  didn't  know  if  she'd  go  to  the  underworld  with  her  if  she  asked  anyway  .  ❛  by  yourself  ?  you're  not  scared  ?  ❜

“There is a limit to how much they can sell you legally, and eight shots falls below that,” she says dryly. It’s not great, nor very healthy if done all too often, but Yurena keeps a tight control of how much caffeine she usually drinks. She will have to cut back caffeine for the next couple of days but her schedule isn’t too terrible for the next week so she can afford to do as much. “I was specifically recommended the Caramel Layer Cake, but one of my coworkers rather enjoys the cake pops as well.” 

At her question, Yurena hums and pats her backpack. 

“I have lunch to eat at a nearby park, I just needed coffee to drink while I ate,” she reassures, faintly impressed by the others' concern. Most would just be surprised by the quantity of coffee she consumed, and then move on. “I do appreciate the concern, however.”

[bdevourd]

          she  almost  wanted  to  ask  what  the  legal  limit  was  ,  but  she  didn't  want  to  give  the  other  any  ideas  .  eight  was  already  a  lot  to  her  ,  but  humans  never  seemed  to  know  their  limits  and  it  seemed  like  the  other  woman  knew  what  she  was  doing  .  ❛  caramel  layer  cake . . .  ❜  that  also  sounded  delicious  ,  but  sweet  enough  that  she'd  be  the  only  one  eating  it  .  ❛  i'll  get  that  ,  a  cake  pop  ,  and  a  couple  of  others  that  aren't  as  sweet  .  ❜  then  her  mom  and  dad  would  help  her  eat  them  and  what  they  didn't  ,  nailah  and  marina  would  .  ❛  that's  good  then  ,  something  to  help  you  absorb  all  of  that  .  you  don't  do  this  often  ,  do  you  ?  ❜  chicha  asked  as  she  straightened  up  from  looking  at  the  glass  .

[evermyth]

the enchantress cannot help herself . she is surprised that anyone would turn a visit to the underworld into a family adventure , though there is no judgment behind it . ❛ you're serious . ❜ but gods , she hopes that the words that follow are nothing but a joke ⸻ that her mother would not actually kill her for joining a stranger . you never know , least of all when dealing with supernaturals . . . ❛ which name do you prefer ? ❜ she asks , a quiet laugh leaving her lips as she takes her in . how interesting . ❛ i'm talia . ❜

[bdevourd]

          chicha  looked  at  the  other  with  a  quiet  confusion  before  she  nodded  ,  smiling  slightly  .  ❛  why  wouldn't  i  be  serious  ?  ❜  maybe  it  was  weird  but  she  didn't  want  to  go  into  the  underworld  by  herself  .  she'd  get  hopelessly  lost  and  scared  and  her  parents  were  the  best  people  to  go  with  her  .  her  mom  had  been  there  before,  maybe  not  her  dad  ,  but  between  the  two  of  them  all  three  of  them  would  come  back  out  .  ❛  either  one  is  fine  with  me  .  my  friends  call  me  ko  but  my  mom  calls  me  chicha  so  whatever  you  feel  more  comfortable  with  .  it's  nice  to  meet  you  ,  talia  .  why  are  you  down  here  ?  ❜

"I am being overcharged for waffles made of cardboard and a coffee that's never been a bean so, seeing as violence is against the law I've resorted to pettiness." he gestured around, attention back at the other. "And nowhere does it say this is a non-smoking bar." he put the cigarette out anyway, and although he was not through with annoyance, he didn't let it show. "Can't imagine why anyone would be upset about a cig, it's not like I'm charging them 'crybaby tax'. 'Sides, more than half of population on this island is like....immortal. Did you know that? I just learnt that like a month back and wow was that the weight right off my chest."

[bdevourd]

          ❛  it  sounds  like  karma  a  little  bit  to  me  .  you  shouldn't  ghost  people  ,  it's  not  nice  .  ❜  she  had  the  same  conversation  with  nailah  and  marina  it  seemed  like  every  day  ,  and  she  didn't  understand  why  anyone  would  do  that  .  texts  were  so  easy  to  send  .  she  chose  not  to  say  anything  about  the  crybaby  part  ,  since  she  wasn't  crying  and  he  was  the  one  that  was  if  you  asked  her  .  ❛  a  lot  of  us  immortals  have  sensitive  senses  and  it  smells  and  tastes  gross  .  since  you  just  found  out  about  it  ,  i  can  see  how  you  didn't  know  that  .  ❜        

[unspoolcd-deactivated20260418]

She is not the sort to care about coming off as brusque, but unfortunately for her conscience, Yurena is nearly incapable of being outright cruel whenever she is in the wrong. Her parents raised her to be relatively polite, after all. Or so she thinks. 

A deep sigh escapes her at the realization that she had jumped to conclusions, so she glances at the display case and then back at the other. “I don’t recommend getting what I did, medically speaking. If you are not used to eight shots of espresso they would wreck chaos on your nerves,” she explains clinically as she looks at the different sweets. “I have heard good reviews of the passion fruit desserts, however, or the caramel.”

[bdevourd]

          ❛  oh  ,  no  thanks  .  i  don't  need  espresso  but . . .  i  don't  think  that's  good  for  you  .  did  they  really  let  you  order  that  ?  ❜  chicha  asked  .  it  didn't  sound  like  something  a  human  heart  could  handle  ,  but  maybe  she  was  a  different  species  and  she  couldn't  sense  it  .  either  way  it  sounded  like  something  she  shouldn't  have  for  her  health  .  ❛  did  you  only  get  a  drink  ?  i  don't  really  like  passion  fruit  ,  but  i  do  love  caramel  .  maybe  i'll  get  one  of  the  cake  pops  .  ❜  nailah  didn't  like  sweets  but  she  knew  that  marina  did  ,  and  she  knew  that  her  hybrid  friend  liked  chocolate  .  ❛  are  you  not  going  to  get  something  to  offset  the  espresso  ?  ❜

the wings give her away . it surprises her that they are unfolded and unglamored , but they offer slight reassurance . at least the daemon's not studying the entrance to a world that would quite literally kill her .

❛ your mother ? ❜ the statement draws her mind to her own child , tucked away safely at aurelina's home . she is far too young to come along , but just for a moment it makes her question all of her choices . with her father's absence , it seems reckless to go on a mission ⸻ but the enchantress knows the place like she knows her heart and kairos needs answers . talia takes a deep , steadying breath before she offers a small smile . ❛ you could come along , but if you are waiting for someone else . . . ❜

          they  both  might  get  a  little  irritated  about  it  later  ,  but  she  nods  enthusiastically  .  ❛  yes  !  my  mom  and  dad  are  meeting  me  here  .  i  guess  they're  running  a  little  late  ,  though  .  ❜  they  went  somewhere  fun  just  the  two  of  them  that  morning  and  she  hadn't  seen  them  since  they  left  the  house  ,  but  didn't  want  to  bother  them  .  her  curiosity  about  the  underworld  wasn't  that  big  of  a  deal  .  ❛  oh  ,  thank  you  for  the  offer  but  my  mom  would  kill  me  for  going  with  a  stranger  .  i'm  chicha  ,  by  the  way  !  some  people  call  me  ko  .  what's  your  name  ?  ❜

could  smell  him  when  he  took  the  first  step  at  the  glade,  but  he'd  tried  to  ignore  it.  he  could  feel  the  restlessness  that  felt  like  it  was  moving  through  his  veins,  the  night  so  close  that  he  shouldn't  leave.  he  should've  been  smarter  and  gone  into  town  for  snacks  and  epsom  salts  for  the  next  day  a  week  ago,  but  eli  had  always  been  reckless.  the  crescent  shaped  mark  still  visible  on  his  neck  despite  his  enhanced  was  proof  enough  of  that  —  the  reminder  of  it  enough  to  keep  him  a  healthy  distance  away.  ‟  you  shouldn't  be  here  this  close  to  a  full  moon,  ”  answers  quietly  as  he  knew  he  could  be  heard  in  the  distance  between  them.  ‟  i  don't  want  to  talk.  ”

She smiled an awkward smile, shifting from one feet to another as her fingers wrapped tighter against the straps of her bag. "My husband's in there but he's in his seventies so they just assumed I was lying and kicked me out. He's got prostate issues, nasty stuff." there was a moment in which she successfully held in a chuckle, but it eventually passed and she allowed her expression to indicate she was merely taking a piss. "Nah, I'm just messin'. I am actually a journalist. Sort of. There's a guy in there who saw some crazy shit last night and I'd really appreciate getting to him before Kairos Journal does." At his deduction she nodded, looking over her shoulder once again as if information would magically slip into her head if she fidgeted enough. "Right, right. So uh, you happen to know when this shift change happens? 'Cause that's a solid idea."

          she  didn't  want  a  drink  and  wasn't  used  to  the  easy  way  that  eric  was  acting  now.  kelsey  picked  up  the  drink  without  paying  it  attention  mostly  to  have  something  to  hold  and  focus  on  instead  of  the  new  version  she  struggled  to  see  as  her  shy  little  brother  that  looked  sharper  somehow.  "  i'm  fine.  "  she  felt  like  she  was,  at  least.  there  had  been  a  couple  of  interactions  she'd  had  with  other  people  that  had  made  her  nervous  and  she  felt  like  there  were  gaps  sometimes,  like  she  knew  people  but  couldn't  remember  their  names.  "  i'm  just  tired.  "  she  explained  it  away  to  the  both  of  them.  "  our  parents  are  still  looking  for  the  both  of  us.  i  didn't  want  to  lead  them  to  you.  "
