will the circle be unbroken ?

BLOODPINNING ; plot & dynamic focused multimuse rp blog for an array of original and canon-ish characters, reworked to varying degrees. mutuals only, sporadic activity, low-key.

exploring themes of ... reclamation and cultivation of the self. breaking the cycle, or not. nature versus nurture. power structures that manufacture the consent of the governed. living with the choices we've made. the extent to which our choices make us. blood, water, and the ties that bind. the sisyphean nature of wanting better.

@decthbringer asked; you're not the only ghost around.

"No, I guess not." It isn't something she's given much thought, but technically Rachel supposes she's more like a boogeyman than a ghost — legal records list her as alive and wanted, after all — but what's the use in being pedantic? When she first set down this path, Castle'd had the good sense to brief her on some of the faces and uniforms she might encounter in her new line of work. That was a while ago, now, but she does remember Elektra ; what little she'd been told is enough that Rachel regards the woman's presence as serious.

"...I smoke someone you were after, or something?" Rachel works in bursts. Sometimes months go by before she has something actionable to go off of ; her current project, so to speak, has progressed quickly and the end is getting fairly close. She'd be surprised if it were the case, but some overlap in targets could be plausible ... or perhaps yet to come. "Or is this more of a courtesy call?"

PROMPTS FROM 007 FIRST LIGHT (PART 1) *  assorted dialogue from the first hour of the game, adjust as necessary.

we need visuals and a status.

what sort of retrieval are we talking about?

we are under attack.

i'm looking at the thing now. or what's left of it.

you're still on a need-to-know basis.

i'm afraid that's classified.

what's that noise?

i need you to do exactly as i say.

you need an antidote. you've been exposed to a nerve agent.

what exactly am i looking for?

have a little rest and then get to somewhere safe. you've done great.

you just get out of the camp and sit tight.

i'll follow. see what i can do.

remember who you're up against.

now you start to worry about me.

what's the point, then? they're all going to die anyway.

i think some of the others are still alive.

you need to get out of the blast zone.

stand down. that's an order.

listen carefully. you have a less than one percent chance of success.

no time to hesitate. those people need my help.

that's where i'll find the captives.

hey, listen. we don't have much time, and we need to get you out of here.

what about the others? we can't leave without them.

you'll know when you see it.

i don't know how to drive this thing!

this should keep them busy.

you could have saved them if you had spoken up.

your friends died protecting nothing. what a waste.

listen. i already freed your friends. we don't have much time.

these guys mean business.

all right. time to bring the house down.

that should stir things up a bit.

what are you doing? come on! run!

light the place up! do not let them escape!

follow me this way. there's a way out.

what is this now? you want to blow us up?

i'm not MI6.

do you have an appointment?

you sound familiar.

gotta say you're healing fast.

so... i'm in trouble.

can i grab you for a second?

now let's not get carried away, [name].

you're really enjoying this, aren't you?

everything you need to know will be explained to you shortly.

i must say you're all taking this code of secrecy seriously.

you're very talkative, aren't you?

i do enjoy a quiet office. i'm sure we can limit the small talk.

i was unaware i was under MI6 command and i just chose not to take your advice.

i believe it's more a case of authority having issues with me.

look, i know where this is going.

do you mind telling me why i'm here?

i want to make you a spy.

i want you to join my training program.

it's unlikely you'll pass the test.

when do i start?

you're dismissed.

you have some catching up to do.

better get you up to speed.

judging from your profile i'm sure you'll get along splendidly.

your flight's waiting for you, so you'd better get a move on.

you're not here for sightseeing.

to do this, you need skill, discipline, and above all, dedication.

pure dumb luck will only get you so far.

i like what you've done with the place.

you really have a knack for stating the obvious.

i expect the list of things you don't know is quite extensive.

would you do the honors?

okay, show me what you've got.

i do love a challenge.

i think we'd be wasting our time.

@deservetoknow asked; [ zip up ] karen assists rachel with zipping up a piece of clothing

Her gaze is fixed on the mirror as Karen disappears behind her to fight with the zipper of her dress. It should just fit, but the added bulk of Kevlar needs a little contending with. The last time Rachel did anything like this had been on a superyacht, on the razor's edge of a mental breakdown, with nothing but chicken cutlets in her dress — in comparison, this ought to be a cakewalk.

"Y'know they call this model the Executive?" She's talking about the vest as Karen works the zipper up over it, an eyeroll audible in her voice even if the other doesn't look up in time to catch it. It's smooth and discreet, lacking the bulk and decor of her more infamous regalia. Ideally she won't actually have to rely on it ; Rachel isn't going in to escalate. One hand holds a fistful of ginger strands against her head and out of Karen's way, while the other smooths the dress fabric over her abdomen.

Rachel's head tilts at her reflection, mouth twisting up in thought. "I dunno. What do you think?" She turns a little to look at her profile. "It doesn't look obvious, but I feel... suspiciously boxy. Maybe a bra on top of the vest?" Caring about her appearance in this way feels surreal after going so long without ... luckily the job isn't until tomorrow night.

alice shook her head. saint barbie, that was a new one. but she'd take it if it meant she got to do something to make a difference, and keep someone actually doing something from dying in a cage or worse. "yeah, we'll go with that." alice kept walking toward him, aware he'd come up with some creative way to kill her if she crossed a line. the cops would make it to this block and make getting out of here much more difficult for them both.

the alley was dimly lit and there wasn't much she could do in the time they had. she saw blood at his arm and leg. she felt around in the side pocket of her pants until she found two rolls of gauze. she had to do this fast, so she knelt down and picked the wound that seemed to be bleeding most and started wrapping it as quickly as she could.

"where are you holeling up?" alice asked, meeting his eye as she continued to wrap in fluid, well practiced motions. "i'll see what else i can do about these once we get somewhere safer." she focused her attention back on wrapping and tying off the leg wound, lips persed. how much bullseye was fucking with fisk's plans had to outweigh a very quiet nagging voice in the back of her head trying to convince he to let him bleed out somewhere for foggy. that wasn't how any of this worked. she had to remind herself that letting someone die when she could help them weighed on her conscience more than being the one to kill them did. luckily, he seemed not to know her so if he saw any of that thought process pass over her face, he hopefully wouldn't recognize it.

A short, gruff laugh slips out as Dex watches the woman spring into action — funny how he keeps getting out of these situations, always some sort of intervention when his options grow scarce. It's almost enough to make a man feel invincible. When she asks where he's staying, a look flickers across scarred features almost like he's offended at the intrusion. The expression is gone as quick as it came, though, and that wild head of hair cants backward as she bandages his leg.

Hazel eyes raking over the dark cityscape around them, Dex does what he's best at and calculates. He's loath to give up a hiding spot, and that apartment is a good one. Doting neighbor, proximity to points of interest, the inside is even starting to look like a home ... for a moment he considers knocking Barbie here out cold and running, but the fact is there's still a non-zero chance he passes out before he makes it back on his own. As she says, it's hard to assess or treat any injuries at present.

"...Fourty-third and Eighth," he acquiesces at last, half-smirk having returned when he looks back down at her. "Left a scooter on the corner," a gloved hand motions down the street as he begins to stand on his own, readying himself to move. "Curfew means less traffic, it'll get us there fast. Just ditch it a few blocks up the wrong avenue."

All my life, there are those who have tried to CLAIM ME.  They wanted to control that which they could not understand.  Some were evil.  Some were good.  One, I willingly offered myself to.   BUT NONE COULD EVER KEEP ME. a private and independent  𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐊𝐓𝐑𝐀 𝐍𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐎𝐒.  marvel comics 616 based with headcanon influences.  Does not adhere to mcu or netflix or disney whatsoever.  twenty-one plus. assassinated by DANI may, 2022.

i should make a real meta post about it since all the specific details exist in my head already, but rachel has chronic pain due to sternum reconstruction surgery after the wedding massacre. and because there's something deeply wrong with her, she's kind of into the scar being pressed on, whether the context is violent or intimate 🙄

[bloodpinning]

would you still love rachel even if you knew the apartment she had with her mans was fugly

"Asking—if you want to come."

He didn't want her doing this shit if she felt like she had to. He doesn't like people owing him shit. Well—not entirely true, he does like it when it's assholes who border on the line where he doesn't kill them.

"Town is plenty big. There's assholes who fly and fucking demons crawling around. This isn't a normal mission. I don't usually toe a line into the weird shit. I stay grounded, but a lot of shit has happened since the last time you saw me. I ended up dying and then coming back, but for a few months I was alive/dead at the same time; I was taken in by a group of— people —and now, well, I feel like I owe them this much."

His eyes flick to the head underneath her booth for a second, but they're cold and don't even register the scene as horrific. They've both seen worse shit before. It no longer bothers him.

[bloodpinning]

One second he's saying he doesn't mess with weird shit, and the next he's describing what is probably the weirdest shit she's ever heard ; it's a different world where most of the uniform-types operate. Rachel listens, though, because it's Frank, and by the end she finds there really isn't much for her to say. But that's alright — for a good chunk of her adult life, vocalizing an opinion was above her paygrade anyway.

"Well," the word is punctuated by a sharp intake of breath through the nostrils, "I'm pretty much done here, so..." The weapons on her person were stowed before he got there, having been in the middle of picking pockets and confirming the showdown had been the end of this particular thread. If Castle's here to ask for an assist, then that's that ; she'd follow him straight to hell, if that were the mission. She shrugs, adjusts her pouches, and prepares to head out, the carnage surrounding them forgotten. "Roger, Captain. Take point and I'll follow."
