pandora moved with ease , flitting between each smaller group within the hall . champagne flute held within her fingertips , she dared not take a sip , this was no party to be led to drink an entire bottle . she put on a face , a gentle smile and a few words ; to appease and ensure that she was seen . for all her intellect , she did not even need to show it , she never even needed to beg for people to give funding . as long as these small - minded , but wealthy people received a kind glimpse with some smart words ; or a witty joke , they only threw their money towards the women . she supposed that was a given , there was never a research project that had not made them back the money and more they had donated .
she had come to a rest for a short while , to stand and lose her champagne in an unfortunate way , instead opting to graze over the table . she would hear erva from across the room , almost . she hated that women ; she didn’t know what it was about her still , despite knowing ashen well . something so ugly beneath that face she gave to the world . unfortunate that she was not allowed to do anything about it in this more civilised society ; not that pandora wouldn’t be able to do the perfect no - suspect murder , if she wanted . but that was not her right to take , nonetheless .
when she saw ashen , standing to the side , being shown off as she always was . pandora did not hesitate to make her presence known , sliding in next to her swiftly . “ they don’t trick me , ashen . they pay me , with funds - not that i need their help to do my research , but it’s nice to scrounge their money and pretend i give them back more than they gave . “ she would laugh .
perhaps some may call her a thief for that , pandora would call herself robin hood instead . taking the excess and donating it to better causes that scientific advancement . these people only wanted recognition and adoration anyway ; and for doing the fucking bare minimum . “ i suppose they bribed you with some time of free movement ? you think your mother would miss you if we went elsewhere ? i cannot bear to listen to these idiots anymore , “
perhaps , if allowed the consumption of an entire bottles worth of inebriation would be the reprieve elder ichor sought . that ire palpitating wildly within confines of ribbed cage : get out , get out ! that incessantly gnawing , noxious need to flee left limbs raw with restlessness . facade after facade , playing pretend . playing at happy , a proper daughter . the very peak of facility advancement . little did they all know that ache of violence lingering , eager to lash out behind stilled touch and polite palms . vitriol kept them living , thriving within the possibility of a most divine revenge
a litany of prophetic promise , ‘ every soldier could be better than the last ’ inexhaustible , incomparable — & yet , all ashen felt was weighted fatigue . hate - fueled paralysis , abilities turned to a safe “ off “ so that all consuming rage did not take out all of societal investors in attendance . having learned to control their countenance at a young age , it conveyed naught of displeasure felt . miniscule solace harbored in silence , no minds screaming at them , no emotions lashing in displeasure / desire .
❛❛ 𝕴 𝖘𝖚𝖕𝖕𝖔𝖘𝖊 𝖕𝖆𝖞𝖒𝖊𝖓𝖙 𝖎𝖘 𝖘𝖚𝖋𝖋𝖎𝖈𝖎𝖊𝖓𝖙 , although , I doubt you enjoy the dour conversational topics . bribed wouldn’t be the word I’d use exactly , but sure . ❜❜ elbow grazes pandora’s own now , ensuring the woman’s attention was on her ; mischief alight in sanguine gaze . ❛❛ well ... speaking of a jailbreak , if you could somehow gather that nasty little remote my mother has on her to control my abilities , i think we could make a true run for it . ❜❜ a beat , sipping her champagne . ❛❛ — it will cause a fucking scene ! and you’ll have enough entertainment to make up for this incredibly horrid evening . ❜❜ a wink , one would think ashen had already devised this plan prior to this event .
