“Humans vs Zombies?” she asked her head tilting a bit, she had an idea of what it was, but she had never done that and wan’t to make sure she understood. “That sounds like a bloody lot of fun. I wish my uni had done something like that. Now–Quidditch on the other hand? I’ve done a lot of that.” she said smirking, she was a big potter fan and really loved playing quidditch with her friends. “What position did you play?” she asked smiling brightly at the other woman. She was adoring their conversation.

“I could have gone with bloody hell–but damn felt a but more authentic in that moment.” she chuckled winking playfully at the girl. The bite on her lips sent shivers up her spine, it was somehow cute–and horribly sexual, and she loved it. Whe Cordelia released her, the corner of her mouth twitched upwards. “Well thank you, you’re just sexy in general.” she teased. Her eyes searched the other woman’s face, looking to understand and take in every detail of the other woman. “It is, It truly is what its for.” she said smiling through the kiss. “My favorite color? Probably red. I mean, honestly I like all colors, but red is so rich, so strong…its so–yeah.” she trailed off and smiled. “Flower wise, I’d say its some form of a lily. I really like calla lilies. They’re just so pretty–they can be all the colors of the rainbow and they’re so elegant.”

She pursed her lips and gave the girl her best sassy face. “I’m confident in my dating ability.” she shrugged. And it was true, she figured–if someone didn’t like how she was, then they weren’t the person for her anyways. So, she tried her best to be truly herself all the time. “I’d love another date. I think we could have a lot of fun. But, I’m actually really glad you agree that the date is going well.” she said, the thought calming her nerves a bit more. Despite her confidence in other things, she always worried when she liked another woman. “I’d like that.” she said softly, but the smile turned into a chuckle and she shook her head laughing. “You’d ask me to marry you after such a sort time together?” she asked eyebrow perking up. “I mean–it’d actually be cute, ring pops are GREAT.” she said scrunching her nose playfully. “Ohh–I love strawberry.”

Flopping back onto her back but looked over at Cordie. “Yeah–Well people are lame to have never done LARP. I mean, I did it, and still do for fun, but yanno–acting is its own form of LARP.”  she grinned. “As for magic, no, I’ve never played that. Buffy, Harry and LOTR I’ve watched and adored. And for being a geek–as long as I can remember honestly.” she said, and it was her truth, she really could not remember a time when she wasn’t a geek. “Forgot who you were?” she asked, wanting to get to know more about Cordie. “I’m so curious now–and way to excited about our other dates.” she grinned. But the smile fell rather quickly as she thought about the bugs. “NOPE. Let’s change the subject–cause fuck all that noise.”

She blinked a couple of times, just listening in utter fascination as Cordie described all that she knew about the idea of surviving a zombie apocalypse. “Not shoot the bitten? I always figured once they were bitten it was a pretty fast turning, or thats how it seems in most movies.” she said, “Though, I don’t watch a lot of zombie stuff…gives me the hibbe jebbies.” she continued. “Mmhm! I’ve had about three or four lessons. I’m getting a lot better! If you ever want to see I practice with Nora on Thursdays.” she explained. “Why–I really don’t know much about this–you’ll have to teach me. So the trigger happy people go there? That seems….counter intuitive, shouldn’t they go out in the fray to fight?” She shivered once more at the feeling of the cold yellow paint on her cheek, and smiled once the other kissed her cheek. It was just so cute–so innocent and fun. “No risk–and even so I like it. But–You have, though I still enjoy hearing about it. It’s nice.” but the mention of her freckles made her blush more. She wasn’t used to people commenting or even noticing her freckles. Its not that she hid it, but moreso they just weren’t as noticeable. “Well we could take the paint off.” she offered with a smirk. 

“I was a Beater. Came from many years as a dodgeball tyrant.” Cordelia said, grinning proudly. “What about you? My guess would be Keeper, but that’s probably more you as a person.” She winked playfully at Eve, delivering the corny line playfully and not so much as a serious pick up line.”Damn was definitely authentic.” She agreed with a short laugh. “I’d say it summed up how I feel rather nicely, too. But it is kinda adorable hearing you say bloody hell.” Considering they were in London, Cordelia didn’t find it necessary to comment on anyone’s British accent, considering they were the majority. But being American, she definitely enjoyed hearing it. “I am pretty sexy, though, aren’t I? Wait until you see me with glasses. I pull off those ridiculous things like no one else could.”

Red. It was an odd colour to favour, but not a bad one. It was bold and courageous. Strong, even, just as Eve had said. “You’re not wrong. Maybe we should make some more red, then. It is supposed to be Valentine’s or whatever. Which I will admit is a total cop out of a holiday, but I’ll take any excuse to eat candy.” Cordelia found the red paint and applied some to her lips, before leaning in and placing a soft kiss on Eve’s neck in two different spots, leaving two perfect lip shapes. “You’re sort of looking like a cartoon character.” Cordelia joked, laughing as she took Eve’s hand in her own and pressed her lips to the back of it, showing her what was now happening on her cheek and neck. “See?”

Laughing, Cordie shrugged. “I mean, why not! You love lilies, haven’t asked what a single term I’ve used so far meant, play Quidditch and LARP, and though you haven’t played D&D, you know what it is. Also, cosplay, so.. that’s a win. I mean, I’d give our impulsive marriage.. fourteen months, at least. Not to say it wouldn’t last longer, but there’s destruction in U-Hauling, you know?” She spoke with a purposely serious face, but was trying not to laugh the whole time. “Strawberry for my candy fiance, it is. Do I start singing I Want Candy now, or?...” Cordelia was definitely blushing when Eve proclaimed her excitement for the other dates. “I don’t think too excited is possible. Let’s hope you stay curious enough to get to date three, though.” A playful wink was thrown her way.

“From all the lore out there, it can take up to a couple days to turn. I mean, if you get a bite to say the neck, and bleed out instantly, you die faster, and reanimate faster. But it’s the infectious bite that kills you, and if your arm is bitten or scratched, it’ll take longer for you to die. Think about it: You’re bitten, and you know if you tell, you’ll get a bullet to the head before you can say your goodbye’s or get your affairs in order. Are you going to just come forward? Or try to hide it?” It’s where most people in movies went wrong. “Now.. if you knew by coming forward, you’d be kept in comfortable quarantine, and allowed to choose if you died before or after the turning – if you wanted to hold out through the fever and pain.. if you didn’t want to turn at all? If you knew you’d be given that choice, with time to process and say goodbye? Would you be more inclined to come forward, then? You’re going to die either way, but by coming forward, you get your last goodbye’s, and people around you are safe, right?” It made the most sense by any means, at least to Cordelia.

“Plus, by coming forward, you can then choose to donate your body. I mean.. if you’ve a doctor or a few med students.. having a freshly turned zombie could be like a cadaver, you know? Someone they could learn on without the decayed organs. And then you can – theoretically – train a whole generation of surgeons. And then there’s the Class System, I think would work best. Tell me, Beautiful – what are your skills? In a zombie world.. aside from your newfound archery talents.. what could you and how would you contribute to a community? What would a community have to have for you to even consider joining? And is the potential for danger in being with a lot of people.. a worthwhile risk to being on your own with no one watching your back?” Only the hard hitting questions, obviously.

“As for government.. think of it this way – how screwed up are governments already? Now, put the threat of zombies in there. They’re going to be scared, just like we are.. only they’ve got weapons. Give a scared man a gun, and he’s going to shoot first, ask questions later. On top of that, the government creating safe zones? People are going to be terrified to come forward, not to mention, they’ll be correcting mistakes as they’re made. It won’t last, and since the majority of people will scurry into those so called safe zones? It’ll be the most dangerous. Best thing to do if you can’t get safely out of the city when outbreaks first start, is to hunker down for a bit first. Not just government officials own guns, and you can bet a lot of innocent people would die in the first few days alone, just by impulse shots made by terrified people. Italy, man. I’m telling you.”

Take the paint off? Well, Cordelia wasn’t going to initiate anything rushed, but how was she even supposed to say no to something like that? Unless she was getting ahead of herself, of course. “The paint is making it a little chilly. And I have to admit.. a nice, warm shower sounds.. extremely enticing..” She replied with a breathless smirk of her own, still red hand moving around Eve’s body and resting on her ass, pulling their bodies flush together, and kissing her once more. As their lips connected, Cordelia couldn’t help the soft moan that sounded past her throat; that same electrical build up was just as strong as their first kiss, and it was addictive.

    To take a shower by definition was a rainfall of such of water on the body normally from a nozzle. By urban dictionary’s definition, it was a place where you couldn’t tell the difference between water and tears. Truthfully, at times, something the nervous blond new time to time. However, to shower with another in a sensual definition wasn’t something she had collected knowledge about….at least…not with a woman. ( unless you counted innocently showing with other girls on the cheer squad, and most of the time Riley was modestly awkward, eyes narrowed, sometimes a bathing suit in her bag.)  When Riley and her boyfriend would shower together it was almost in routine, this…this was different. Why? She couldn’t quite collect yet. 

   “You can’t keep calling me adorable, or cute..I mean you can…but my cheeks ache.” The sounded lame once it finally fumbled from her lips and into the air. Cordelia carried a confidence to her that was almost quirky, and hell, it was admirable. “Oh… uh…” Did she seriously just take a step back from Cordelia? What was wrong with her?? Riley cleared her throat, “Riley.” A small nod almost seemed like she was confused if that was her name or not. She needed to relax, perk herself up. No one was turned on by the insecure girl in the corner. –but what did she know? “You know,” Take a deep breath. Her fingers were delicate in a respectful way, as they brushed the now loosened straps from Cordelia’s shoulders. Thoughts were hushed by the pounding of her heart that echoed through the walls of her body. For once, she was okay with being nervous.. it almost felt… good? “I may need help with these games..” Backing up to the firm wall, Riley’s hands smoothed over Cordelia’s shoulders guiding her closer, and trailing her finger tips along the back of her neck. “I need to be taught how to play first..” 

“I’m afraid you’re going to have to stop being adorable, then, Cricket. Though I’m not sure I see that one happening. The woman wasn’t offended when Riley took a step back from her, and for the moment, just assumed that it was because she was having second thoughts about the whole shower sharing. But then her bra was brushed from her body, and she smirked a little – Riley was probably just shy and not as confident, which is where the nerves were coming in. What Riley did next, however, was such a turn on, and Cordelia wasn’t sure if it was done on purpose or not.

Licking her lips slowly, she pulled her lower one between her teeth, looking the blonde up and down, before choosing to step even closer, firmly pinning Riley’s body to the wall. “Fuck.. I don’t know if you’re aware of how sexy those words sounded or not, Cricket, but they were hot. Now the question is..” Placing her hands on Riley’s waist, her lips trailed a train of kisses along the woman’s neck to her ear, softly nipping it. “I can teach you to play many games..” Her tone sultry and seductive.

“Do you enjoy being tied up?” Her hands ran down the length of the blonde’s arms, intertwining their fingers – and keeping their fingers together, she pinned the others’ hands against the wall on either side of her head, her thigh pressing gently to Riley’s core. “It’s always the quiet ones that are the kinkiest.” She teased, playfully winking at Riley. “Not that I’m complaining if you’re one of them. Your type of adorable is kind of sexy. But to be clear, if I’m reading this wrong.. I can play these games on top.. or on bottom; so to speak. If you have a preference.”

Twister With A Twist 🎊

A chuckle. She was glad the other woman was willing to play along with the crazy idea of keeping it a secret. She liked fucking with people, playing harmless practical jokes. It wasn’t something she really got to do often and to find someone who also wanted to do it? Well she was going to hold onto that. “I’m loving this plan–even with super soakers. the whole thing just sounds awesome.” she said giggling now, she then looked to the red then back to Cordelia. 

Shaking her head she leaned close to Cordelia–the girl was adorable and dorky and she was loving it. When their lips connected once again she smiled brightly as the feeling of Cordelia’s lips on her own. There was a spark there that she just couldn’t deny, something about how their energies mixed like the colors on their lips. It was somehow natural and calming. She let her eyes flutter shut as they kissed and then allowed her fingertips to brush against the other’s cheek. “Damn.” she finally said when they pulled apart, her cheeks flushing a light pink. She didn’t even realize she had said it until she caught Cordie’s eyes. She bit her lip and shivered. 

Eveleen then wiggled herself to the red then moved back so she was laying next to the woman and put the red on her lips. “You think it’ll change?” she asked as she reapplied yellow onto her own lips. She was enjoying this all way to much wondering if they’d get another kiss. At the mention of the broken glass she steeled herself, visibly a bit uncomfortable but she took a breath and pushed it away. “Maybe another day–It’s not something I want to talk about on such a good first date. Maybe on a second or third? We can have a real heart to heart?” she let her voice trail off, liking the idea of doing another date with the woman. She was fascinating and she did want to tell her–but she really was loving how this was going and the broken glass story–it’d be a downer. So she just smiled. She cocked her head to the side. “Forgetting who you are?” she asked curiously. “There is nothing wrong with dressing up as superheros and characters from anime …D&D isn’t something I’ve gotten into but LARP is fun! And if people don’t get that? well fuck them.” she shook her head. She was not one to follow societal norms either, she was a geek through and through and anytime someone told her to grow up she laughed in their face and just did what she wanted–and figured out ways to make money or show off while doing it. It was petty–but she didn’t really care. The feeling of Coride’s hand on her side made another shiver rise up her spine. “Flying roaches?” she asked eyes going wide in fear. she had heard people talk about them–but no. She just didn’t want to imagine them as a real thing. 

Eve listened, utterly fascinated by the girl speaking. Her voice was just so…so damn soothing. She felt a bit like she was floating just listening to her talk, even if it was about something as trivial and silly, but fun, as zombies. At the mention of the valley she raised an eyebrow. “Couldn’t they just come over the side of the mountains? I mean–it’d take longer but…” she let her voice trail off. “But that is a good idea. Sounds rather safe–and you can live off the land for a long time.” she then paused and smiled. “Nora is teaching me how to use a bow n’ arrow.” she added rather excitedly. “Man–you’ve really thought this out haven’t you? I know who to partner up with if the zombie apocalypse happens.” she said grinning. “I guess you win it if you want me there–because I’d rather be with you than someone non-prepared person.”

“Oh, it’s entirely awesome. I once used glitter bombs and super soakers with the glitter, to dominate a Humans vs Zombies game on campus. It was the most epic thing you’ve ever seen. I may of also volunteered to be a zombie. We organized it with admin approval, during the March break. Just a bunch of students who stayed behind or wanted to get involved. Lasted the whole week. We did it for a few years in a row, actually. Almost as fun as Quidditch. Ever play either of those?” Cordelia wasn’t ashamed for the geek she was, and loved to embrace it. She’d much rather play a week of humans and zombies, than go to some other state to drink all week. What fun was that?

Eve’s single word sent shivers throughout Cordelia’s chest, causing her to smile brightly, nodding slowly a few times. “I’d say that sums it up. I would of gone with a ‘wow,’ I think, though. With emphasis.” When Eve bit her lower lip, Cordelia shook her head in amusement, running a thumb over the bit lip, before leaning in again – but instead of kissing her, she just went right to biting the lip Eve had been seconds before. “You’re sexy when you bite your lip.” She admitted, staring into the other woman’s gorgeous eyes. When red was placed on her lips, she laughed a little as she watched Eve put yellow on hers. “I have no idea. But that’s what science is for, right? Man.. the sacrifices we make in the name of science.” She joked, still laughing as she happily brought their lips together in yet another kiss. “You never mentioned your favourite colour. Or flower. I think it’s only fair.” She continued teasing, though genuinely wanting to know as she snuck in another quick kiss.

“Not just a second, but a third date? Someone’s a little cocky.” Cordelia winked, laughing a little as she bit her own lip, nodding. “But I’d like that. Another date with you, I mean. But only since you’ve boosted my ego about how good the date is going. Which, absolutely agree, by the way.” Her voice then softened as she moved to tuck hair behind Eve’s ear. “A real heart to heart sounds nice. We can plan that date together, then.” She listened to Eve talk, revealing that the other woman was also a geek, and Cordelia couldn’t help but grab the others’ face in both her hands and pull her in for a kiss. “If I asked you to marry me, would that pretty much be the worst proposal ever? I mean, I can get the ring pop, it’ll just take a trip to the candy store. Flavour of your choice, of course.” She joked, nudging their noses together again as she laughed.

“That’s pretty badass you know all that. Most don’t even know what LARP is. Ever play Magic: The Gathering? How do you feel about Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Harry Potter, and Lord of the Rings? And how long have you been a geek?” Very valid questions in Cordelia’s mind. “I agree – fuck them. But there was a summer I forgot who I was, so I just fear going back there. But, like you said.. that’s a heart to heart for a second or third date.” Already getting another date was probably the fastest she had ever really connected with someone. “Flying roaches. Or anything that flies at your face with decent speed. The day rats learn to fly is the day I move to Iceland.”

“I guess if they learn how to use a pic axe? The mountain has paths, sure, but from the outside, not so much. And the very first rule I declare in place, would be to not shoot the bitten. I mean, if they’re at risk of immediate turning.. but otherwise, there’ll be a quarantine place where the bitten can live until they turn or something. Taking the fear away of coming forward with that would solve so much.” She grinned in approval. “Bow and arrow, huh? That’s really hot. I’m probably drawing you as an elf now. Have you gotten far with lessons?” The woman shrugged a modest shoulder, chuckling lightly. “Just a little.” She joked. “It’s not like I’ve literally spent hours discussing this with friends, like we’ve nothing better to do. But it’s definitely fun. Also, if it’s not a given.. avoid government ‘zombie free’ areas like the plague. Especially when the outbreak is new. That shit’s not going to go over well. Trigger happy lunatics in a breeding ground of fear? Not wise.”

When her date spoke about wanting to rather be with her during this ‘outbreak,’ Cordelia pulled their bodies closer, while still on her side, and reached behind Eve for some yellow paint. She then swiped her thumb along the woman’s cheek, covering most of the area with paint – and then leaned in, placing a kiss to Eve’s yellow covered cheek, with her orange coated lips; intentionally leaving her lips printed there. “At the risk of going from suave geek with a side of badass, to corny dork with a side of cheese.. have I mentioned how insanely beautiful you are? Like.. crazy beautiful. If you didn’t look so cute covered in paint, I’d definitely be more upset I couldn’t see your freckles, anymore.”

   Gulp. Was that what she was saying?? Riley’s head was beginning to spin. If she were to pay attention to her nerves she was certain her emotions would feel equivalent to vertigo. “Uh—Uhm…” Her hand lifted, nails painted a light blush pink–she itched the back of her neck. The body language was always a giveaway when she was being…awkward. There was a curl of her lips when her ears heard the pet name being said. “Holy shit.” Wide-eyed, Riley mentally covered her face, but yet stood there with her green eyes gazing a little too long where she shouldn’t. “Uhmm… I like to play games…” What the fuck, Riley. Play games?? Because of the controllers on her bra?? Another mental kick. What was there to say? How did you reply to someone with confidence taller than yours. Cordelia’s was up in the clouds, and Riley’s confidence was nearly up to her knees. “I hear things are always more fun with company…” Fail. Jesus. Riley. “That’s just what I hear…” Her eye’s, round in their shape sensually found a slight confidence to save herself from complete embarrassment and lingered momentarily. 

“Oh, wow.” Cordelia mused, the amusement evident on her face. Play games? It made sense, considering her bra, but the delivery of it was just.. well, it was cute. “You’re sort of hopelessly adorable, aren’t you?” Shaking her head in continued amusement, Cordelia picked up her shirt and put it in her bag, not bothering to cover herself with it. “Video games in underwear is one hundred percent fun. Which we can play after our shower, if you’d like.” The self proclaimed geek reached out, tucking hair behind Riley’s ear, head tilted with a smile that continued to grow in amusement. “You’ve heard correctly, though, Gorgeous.” Putting her shoulder bag down, Cordelia reached for Riley’s hands, and put them on her shoulders. “I think between trying to find a flirty comment, and trying not to burst from blushing, you’ve forgotten to tell me your name.” She teased, playfully winking at the woman, before letting go of Riley’s hands, and reaching behind her own back.

“I’m going to undo my bra. If you’re sure about the whole shower thing, all you have to do is brush the straps from my shoulders. Then I’d like to kiss you and absolutely share this usually mundane activity with you. You know.. play some games.” She kept teasing as fingers easily unclasped her own bra.

Twister With A Twist 🎊

eveleenmccarthy‌:

The smirk that slid over her lips could only be described as mischievous, she lived for moments like this. Where she could play pranks of her friends. And…glitter was harmless, especially if they got the right kind. “We’d have to get that super fine glitter, that bio glitter…it never washes off…can you imagine throwing that at the other girls? Cover them in glitter for ages.” she said. “We can’t let anyone know of this devious plan.” she added a moment later. Hearing Cordelia’s story about glitter and a bully brought a larger smile to her face. She loved hearing that bullies got what was coming to them. “Sounds totally worth it.” she said “I never did anything quite like that when I was young. I think the closest I came was getting my bully to fail a final.” she said. And it sounded bad, sure, it may have been, but she was a major bitch and a homophobe.

“To bad I didn’t get red on your face then..” she said, cursing her luck and wishing she could change it up. But she still smiled. She was having a hard time breathing in this moment, she wanted nothing more than to close the gap, but the drumroll that was building between them was just as enjoyable. She was always for skirting the normal and letting things flow however they wanted, however made them both feel the most comfortable…and it sure seemed like Cordelia was more than willing to close the gap and see where this all took them.  “Red would have looked wonderful…though the blue is nice.”

Eveleen slightly nodded her eyes never leaving Cordelia’s. They were just to fascinating to stare into. They were just stunning, and she was already lost in them, but the second their lips connected? Her eyes fluttered closed and she moved her hands to pull Cordelia a bit closer, a paint covered hand moving to the woman’s neck and holding there. The little nip on her lip released a giggle and she let her eyes slowly open. The kiss had been electrifying, captivating and she was sort of lost in thought when Cordi started talking. But she quickly snapped back into the conversation. “Science has proven itself once again.” she said looking to Cordi’s lips and admiring the green that had appeared there. “Mmmh. Science is always fun.” she started. “I wonder if we can come up with some other science?” she asked using the blue on her fingers to brush over Cordi’s lips again putting on more blue. “What about aqua? Can we make that?” 

“Scares me?” she asked a vision of someone flashing in her mind in a blink and disappearing just as quickly. “Broken glass…and bugs.” she said shivering just at the thought. “You?” she then paused, contemplating the woman’s question as she rolled on her side so they were face to face once more. “Humm. I don’t know how long I’d survive. Depends on who I had with me, and where I was when it hit. I could survive in the woods a long time if I needed. As for a weapon? Maybe be a sword? Never have to reload–always have something to kill with. Though i’d rather have distance between me and one of them…”  She  trailed off getting lost in the idea. 

“A woman after my own heart. Bio glitter it is. And my lips are sealed, Gorgeous. It’ll be our super secret plan. The concoction also works in super soakers.” She pointed out proudly. “Okay, one: I need details of this now. And two: I love it when you talk nerdy to me.” The pun practically wrote itself, so it would of been rude not to go there. Besides, nerdy talk was hot. Smart women were hot. “How about we try for red next, then. It would be a shame to let all this paint and science go to waist, after all. The world needs to know these things.” The artist had hoped that the day would go well, and that she would have fun with whomever she had been paired with. Whether it involved kissing or really just hanging out. But what was unexpected, was just how well she was getting along with Eveleen, and how fun and relaxed and easy it all was going. Nothing was being forced, and there was a certain flow to it.

“Aqua, huh? I suppose it would be insulting to science to not see if we can’t do that. But no promises I don’t break out into Barbie Girl later.” Which was something Cordelia would actually do, as well. She had no problem with people looking weirdly at her – she walks around in cosplay after events the rest of the day, after all. In her opinion, she spent two hours getting into the damn thing, she sure as hell was going to wear it the rest of the day. Leaning forward again, she pressed her lips back on Eve’s, mixing their green and blue together. This time, she kissed the other woman a bit longer, a small hum of a sound leaving her throat as she was pulled closer to the other. Cordelia had some pretty amazing kisses in her life, but this was one she was always going to remember. Easily top three without even thinking. But probably the best first kiss with someone (and second); it was just the way the electric flow soared and scattered throughout her body that made it so.

“Broken glass? That has to have a story behind it. Is it a first date kind of story?” If Eve didn’t feel comfortable sharing, that was more than okay. Or maybe there was no story, and broken glass was just scary to the other. Though, broken glass was definitely not pleasant, so no judgement from her end. “Forgetting who I am.” Cordelia answered when it came time to list what she was afraid of. “I’m almost thirty, and I can’t tell you the amount of times I’ve been told to grow up. But I don’t feel old. I want to dress up as superheroes and beloved characters.. I want to play D&D, and I definitely want to LARP. And I don’t ever want to forget that I love being a geek, or to give into societal norms that tell me I should put my degree to good use.” She explained freely, easily sliding closer to Eve, now only half a foot from the other as she still lay on her side, but her free hand came up to rest on her date’s side. “And rats.” She exaggerated a shiver. “Those creep me out. Rats and flying cockroaches.”

“Oh, I’d thrive with the zombies.” Cordelia answered confidently, laughing a little. “There’s something called the Aosta Valley in Italy? Mountains on either side for miles. Only two openings. You secure both sides well enough.. build walls? You’ve got the safest place. Live stock for eggs and milk, but never meat. And there’s plenty of land for farming vegetables, fruit trees, and rice. I mean.. harvest enough rice, and food will never be an issue. I’d choose a baseball bat with spikes constructed on it. One up top and a few around the sides. And a collapsible bow with arrows, and probably six inch blade, double sided dagger – slides in and out easily so it won’t get stuck, and it’s light weight.” Could it really come as a surprise, though, that she had all this detail, and that was really only the surface of it? “Do I win? The lottery of surviving the apocalypse with you, I mean.”

eveleenmccarthy‌:

Eveleen laughed. “To bad it’s not summer.” she mused, sure it was 60 out, so it actually felt pretty good if she was honest, but it wasn’t the time for that sort of wet. “But yeah–we’ll have to do this again when it’s summer in bathing suits.” she added with a wink. “That–whole thing, all of that, we have to do.” she said with a big smile, she had a little sister and she always tried to do weird and creative things for her baby sister, things like this–it brought her back to her childhood and made her feel safe and happy.

Staring back up at the woman who pinned her down she let her lip twitch ever so slightly. The compliment making her stomach flutter and heart beat faster. “Is it now?” she asked cocking her head to the side and smearing more paint into her hair. She had no clue where this was going, or what was even really happening, it was moving rather fast–not that she minded. “Your favorite color or something?” she asked, she figured, it was a date–she should get to know the other better….or at least no more than just her name and that she was dorky. 

As she felt the cold wet paint slip down her nose and on her neck she shivered. She raised a single eyebrow at the inquiry and shrugged, well as much as she could laying down. “I’ve heard the same…” she said letting her voice trail off and then she bit her lip. “I mean–I am a woman of science. I would like to know what happens if yellow and blue mix together.” she said lifting her head up slightly, almost letting their lips brush together but hesitating, the smallest movement would close the gap…but she let it hover there. 

“Oh, I entirely agree. Maybe we can set up teams, and only our balloons will contain the glitter. Surprise?” Cordelia continued to joke. Glitter took forever to come out, which was why it was certainly funny. “Oh, man. I must of been eleven? Kids at school were picking on this one kid a year up from me – he came to school with nail polish on. Anyways, didn’t I dump one of the glitter bombs on his head one recess. Did I get an in school suspension? Definitely. Was it worth seeing the homophobic asshole covered in glitter for like.. three days? One hundred percent.” Her parents weren’t too pleased with her actions, though, and she was grounded for two weeks. She got herself grounded a lot growing up, but that was probably because her father was from Russia, and things were certainly different over there than they were in the states.

“No.. I like orange. Like the tiger lily. Though I can’t say I’m complaining too much about yellow right now.” Cordelia was clearly flirting with the other woman, in her tone of voice alone. Never one for tradition, she never saw a reason that the first kiss had to be at the end of the date. In all honesty, that just left things rather awkward – plus, bringing someone home to her front porch to kiss was usually after the question after her dates met her father when picking her up. He didn’t approve of the ‘American’ boys, and he certainly didn’t approve of her going on a date with girls. She was only lucky her father loved her more than he disapproved of her lifestyle.

“We should probably find out, then. Anything for science, right?” She asked, eyes going from Eve’s eyes and back to the woman’s lips. When Eve’s head lifted slightly, but paused, she happily took it upon herself to close the distance between their lips, electricity shooting through her body from her chest as lips collided together. Pulling away, Cordelia ended the kiss with a bite to Eve’s lower let, then let her eyes flutter open, though still hovered above. “Would you look at that.” She pointed out with a smile. “Green. I think I’m beginning to really like science.” She nudged Eve’s nose with her own once more, before she rolled off the woman, now laying next to her. On her side, she rested her head in her hand, not caring that there was now a mixture of paint, tainting her dark locks.

“What’s something that scares you?” The self proclaimed geek came right out and asked with a soft smile. Who needed small talk, anyways, right? “Alternative question: How long do you think you’d survive in a zombie apocalypse, and what would your weapon of choice be?” Maybe Eve didn’t want to answer the first question – or maybe she did, and the second one could bring back a light tone.

Twister With A Twist 🎊

[cordeliaxromanov]

The corner of her mouth tugged upwards when the girl spoke about her twister game. She wanted to see how good this other woman was at the game–not that she was great at it or anything. But–friendly competition….She was all for that. “We’ll just have to see how good your twister game is then!” she  said with a large grin, her nose wrinkling as she chuckled. “Pleasure Cordelia. I’m Evelee, call me Eve though.” she said her own hand linking with Cordelia’s to shake it. She held her blush down as much as she could at the compliments. “I–Uh–Thanks Cordelia…You’re quite beautiful yourself.”

Eveleen took the spinner and landed on left hand red, so–following the rules she stuck her hand down into the cool paint. It was hard to keep her balance as the game continued on, it was just to easy to slip, when moving one way or another. She was tangled up in Cordie as they played, and he was trying her hardest to keep herself up. But when they lost their balance she flopped to the floor, covered in paint and busted out laughing. “It was still a good game–especially for the slippery paint.” she said through laughter. She squeaked when the other woman moved to straddle her. She held her breath, not even moving when Cordie was leaning close, their noses touching. “I–” she stuttered out, a bit shocked. But when the woman moved the paint over her skin she laughed “Oh is it now?” she asked reaching out with her free hand and brushing it into the blue paint, then she reached up and cupped Cordelia’s face in return. “I think blue may be yours.” she said as she moved her hand slowly down the side of the girls face, from forehead to lips, spreading the blue paint across it as she did.

“The paint definitely makes things more challenging. But I love the feeling of it on your skin, especially on a summer day? Might as well play in your bathing suit on those days. Oh!” She laughed. “Followed by a water balloon fight!? You fill a water balloon with colour dye and glitter – I call it a glitter bomb – and then the person ends up looking like an easter egg.” Being an only child, Cordelia had to get creative when coming up with games to play, and it allowed her to make a lot of friends. Well known but never popular, though she also never cared to be.

Cordelia noticed how Eve didn’t seem to bothered by their previous proximity, and she didn’t think she’d be denied a kiss – but she also wasn’t just about to go and take one, either. She feigned shocked as blue paint was spread across her face, nose scrunching playfully; but lips parting ever so slightly as she felt the cool wet of blue paint spread on them. Her heart felt like it skipped a beat or two as she took a moment to just look down into Eve’s eyes. “Interesting choice of colour, Gorgeous.” More yellow paint on her hand, she leaned forward again, supporting herself with her left hand nestled beside Eve’s head.

Her thumb trailed slowly down the bridge of Eve’s nose, continuing the path down past her lips, another yellow hand print on her neck now. “I mean.. I hear when you mix yellow and blue together.. you get green.” Resting on her hand, lowered so her weight was on her forearm, allowing her to lean even closer to Eve’s face. The tip of her nose playfully nudged the woman’s below her, before pulling back to search her eyes for further permission. “Maybe we should test that theory? For science, of course..”

Twister With A Twist 🎊

Eveleen wasn’t totally sure why she signed up for this silly blind date valentine thing Ellen put out…but she hoped for the best. She hoped that whoever she got paired with would be fun and that, at bare minimum, they’d at least get along and have fun on whatever date they were going to do. She had gotten a little note on her pillow telling her to wear clothes she didn’t mind getting ruined and to come outside ASAP. So, she grabbed some old workout clothes, changed and headed outside. She rounded the corner and spotted the twister setup first. Her head tilted and she couldn’t help but smirk. This looked fun–it was when she saw the woman she forgot how to speak for a moment. She was beautiful. She cleared her throat and chuckled. “Your geeky charms and letter already worked. So yeah–sure lets play twister.”

Cordelia was pleased to see the look on her blind date’s face when she appeared – not everyone would be into this sort of thing, and some didn’t even like getting dirty or messy. She was even more pleased when she finally took a moment to take in her date. The woman was absolutely stunning, of course, though she had no doubt anyone she got would be. “Fair warning, though – my twister game, unlike my pinball one, is on point.” She playfully winked at the woman, getting up and walking over to her and holding out her hand. “I’m Cordelia, Gorgeous.” As she shook the others’ hand, her free hand clasped over Eve’s to sandwich it between both her own, and she leaned in to kiss the others’ cheek. “You’re absolutely stunning, if I do say so, myself.”

She presented the spinner to her date before putting her hair up in a messy ponytail, giving her the first spin, then took a spin, herself. The paint was cool and slippery, so it took a moment to gain her footing, but now the game could begin. At only about five or six spins in, Cordie lost her footing, and slipped, crashing onto her back with a jolly laugh. After all that bragging, too. “Okay, okay.” She said, still laughing. “Twister game not as on point as I predicted. But we’re going to casually claim that I was distracted by my gorgeous date.” She excused her loss of the first round with a playful wink. That’s when she rolled on top of Eve, straddling her and leaning over her. Licking her lips, Cordelia leaned down, biting her lower lip as she nudged her nose with the others’ own. “I’ve been thinking..” She started, eyes trailing to gaze upon Eve’s lips. But while she was doing this, her hand dipped itself in yellow paint, which transferred purposely over to Eve’s neck and jaw when she cupped her date’s face – and onto the center of her lower lip as she softly pulled Eve’s lip down as her thumb ran over it, causing her to smirk as she sat up a little. “Yellow’s really your colour.”

Ellie had been in this place for no more than an hour, and of course she had to make a fool of herself in front of people she didn’t even know yet. Running from the bathroom, she tripped over herself, reaching for anything in sight to protect herself with. She grabbed onto what felt like an instrument and held it above her head before calling out. “There is something in the bathroom!” she yelled. “I don’t know what it was but it was moving!” She tried to pretend like the thought of pests didn’t gross her out, but…well, then she’d be lying to herself. “I’ll give someone three quid to get rid of it!” 

“Who, whoa, whoa! Easy there cowgirl.” Cordelia spoke, putting her hands up cautiously as she stepped forward, reaching for the guitar. “How about we put the perfectly fine guitar down and talk things through, yeah?” She put her hands around the guitar carefully, taking it from the other woman and inspecting it. “Not a half bad guitar at all. I bet she sounds beautiful. She yours?” Cordie asked, strumming it a couple times, though she doubted anyone would raise their own instrument to a pest. Handing the guitar back, she smiled. “Either you forgot the ‘S’ in squid, or you’re offering me Harry Potter money. But I take my pest killing skills seriously, and won’t settle for anything less than some every flavoured beans. Five of them.” She laughed a little, playfully poking fun at the other woman. “Want me to get it for you, Gorgeous? But if it’s a rat or flies, I’m bugging out, and you’re on your own. If it’s a flying rat, I’m tripping you and running like hell.”

“do you hate it?” she asked the other person in the room as she balanced on one foot to reach what she was fixing–a hanging flower pot in the kitchen that had seemed in desperate need of some attention.  so she gave it just what it needed.  a little love, and a bit of a fix up with some fresh flowers from her shop.  “the flower in here before was dying and i figured it would be a shame to leave it be.  so i went to my shop and grabbed a new plant.”  she explained, balancing herself on the chair and turning to face whomever was in the room.  “i’m a big believer that flowers brighten up a space.  and a dying one was only going to dim the mood.”  cassie explained with a shrug of her shoulders.  she bit her lip and turned back to look at the flower and fixed it to make it even in it’s place.  

“I mean, I think a cactus would be less trouble, but it’s pretty.” Cordelia explained, as she took in the situation of her roommate on the chair. She decided to place her sketchbook on the counter and walked slowly up to the other. “What kind of flower did you put in?” She asked as she sized the situation up again dramatically. “Okay, I think I got it.” She stated as she planted her feet in a position near the chair. “You can fall now, if you’re going to fall. Although, I can’t promise I’ve put in enough manual labour to succeed in catching you, I’ll certainly try.” She teased with a playful wink. “Do you have a favourite flower?”

Twister With A Twist 🎊

Cordelia lay on her back with crossed legs, in a pair of faded and obviously old (slightly tattered) pair of jean shorts, and a white tank top. She was bare foot, arms behind her head, and admiring the clouds. Before her, was the game of Twister set up, liquid paint covering each circle with its’ respective colour. She was just outside the hotel, enjoying the warm weather and waiting for her first victim opponent to play with. When she heard someone close enough, she sat up, smiling and waving at the other. “Hey, gorgeous! This is obviously where I use my geeky charms to con you into playing twister with me?”

    “ –So, showering..– it’s better to conserve water by showering together, –don’t ya’ think? ” Suddenly Riley felt more nervous in the heat of the situation when she spoke. Consenting to any at random dare seemed like a close regret in her mind right about now. How on earth would she even go about this? The girl could hardly even flirt without feeling moisture on the palms of her hands, or mentally chiding herself for acting like an awkward idiot. “–at least that’s what I hear..” a small shrug. “–makes sense…” the last syllable hummed over the rim of her bottom lip. If it was just her, Riley could have sworn crickets were heard in the stiff air. Was this a moment where she would need to find an escape to her room quickly and to swear to never show her face to this woman again?–or…? 

“So you’re saying.. save water and shower with a friend?” Cordelia asked, looking up from her sketchbook with a playful smirk. “Alright, Cricket.” She closed her sketchbook and stood up, casually removing her shirt to reveal a bra with the X-Box 360 controller pattern on it. “I’m Cordelia, by the way. And you’re a cutie.” She walked up to Riley, softly pressing her lips to the girls’ cheek. “Not that I’m complaining about possibly getting into the shower with a gorgeous girl or anything.. but you sure you’re up for it? You look like a blushing ghost.”

Slouching back on the couch, Rose stared blankly at the phone in her hand, the device having died a few minutes ago. A glass of wine sat on the table in front of her, and a half empty bottle of rum - not her usual go-to of choice - rested by her feet. Hearing someone enter the room, she voiced her thoughts without bothering to look up. “Do you ever miss having actual buttons on these things?” 

Cordelia had been MIA recently, but only because she had thrown herself into her new job, racking up hours, money, and tips like crazy. It was the best money saver to be on this show, honestly, and she could seriously make a few badass costumes and do some more travelling to more LARP events. She had finally taken a few days off, and was roaming aimlessly around the house, bored. “I dunno.” She started, taking a seat next to the other woman on the couch. “If you turn the sound on when you tap the buttons, it’s sort of the same. Plus, they have mini keyboards for your phone now, so there’s that? Little extreme, but who am I to judge?”

Billy blinked several times at the sudden question and the topic of the conversation. “Neither, I don’t…” She sputtered, face turning red.

“Oh?” Cordelia asked, setting down her pencil from sketching – only, all the drawings were animated in some form or another. “You don’t?” She questioned, a smirk pressed upon her face that said there was no way she believed the other. Though, if it had been true, how sad. “I do.” She offered up, grabbing a skatchpad and flipping to a new page, hand flying across the blank paper, creating something new. “At least twice a day. It’s healthy. Feels incredible, too. Though, not as incredible as someone else touching you.” She walked over to the blushing girl, rather amused by her reserved attitude, though her attention was on the speeding hand. “Masturbate isn’t a bad word, you know. It’s not wrong to watch porn, either. Or to read erotica.”

[cordeliaxromanov]

Cordelia sat in the large drawing room between the two couches, coffee table pushed to the side to give her more room. She was surrounded by sketchpads, her laptop equipment, and a few fabric splotches. She took a sip of her tea, setting the mug down on an end table, looking up to see someone else had entered the area. For a moment, she said nothing, merely looking at the other in curious amusement. “Do you prefer to read or watch your porn?”

Even though she was in a totally new place - Corey found solace in going about her daily routine. After a quick protein shake, she’d gone for a four-mile run with her dog. But on her way back she opted to stop at a cute little breakfast place down the street from the house. With a pastry in her hand, she and Nola were now entering the house. Corey was simply going to grab some water, put Nola back up in her room and head back to the gym - but that was stopped short when she nearly bumped into someone in the hall. “Oh - uh, hey.” She mumbled out, not really feeling too social. But being social was part of this place and this show. Noticing her dog’s excitement, she snapped her fingers - Nola settling nicely at her feet and now just looking up at the stranger begging to be pet with those big brown eyes. She was now suddenly aware of how gross she must have looked with her messy hair, sweat-soaked shirt, muddy sneakers, running shorts, and face flushed from the wind. “I’m Corey.”

“What you are is gorgeous.” Cordelia commented right off the bat. “God, I love this place already.” She spoke to herself as she smiled down to the dog beside its’ owner. “I’m Cordelia.” She raised her hand in a Star Trek greeting with a smile. “New here, and already lost, I think. My sense of direction was never that great, honestly.” In tow, she had yet another suitcase with it, filled with some ‘essentials,’ of course. Which, to Cordelia, meant things to make cosplay costumes and LARP costumes, and to draw. She actually sold costumes on the side for some extra cash, too, which was always wonderful. “Think you could help me find my room? It’s probably the one with someone freaking out over the freak they’re gonna have to bunk with. Guilty as charged.” She joked, holding out her hand for a formal introduction.

Daizy was enjoying a morning cup of coffee in the kitchen. She looked out of the large windows watching as snow softly fell onto the busy London streets, when a new presence entered the room. Without looking away from the window, she sighed, “You know what I definitely don’t miss about Canada?” She finally looked towards the other person. “The cold. I’ve never had a single winter where I can go outside with one layer and feel somewhat WARM,” she said, wether or not the person in front of her was actually interested.

“Canada’s pretty great, even in winter. Though, I gotta tell you – cosplay during a winter in Canada? Extreme sport.” Cordelia walked into the kitchen, grabbing an apple, and hoisted herself up on a counter. Of course, she set the apple beside her, and dug into a bag of chips she brought with her, instead. “Has anyone ever told you, you’d make a badass, yet sexy, Saber? She’s a swordswoman from this kickin’ anime. Turns out? King Arthur was really a woman. In this show, at least. But the times were what they were and she had to pretend to be a man. Figures, right? You should think about it – you’d look incredible! Not that you don’t already look incredible, just an idea.”
