derjaegermond​:

The crackle of something undefinable in the air provoked the feral drive within her, and yet such feelings remained largely suppressed. Something happened, but she knew that conversation could wait. The pungent scent of water mingling with blood made her nose twitch in recognition. Much as her friend, she had not escaped the good graces of a heavy storm entirely. The world around them felt as if it had been cast adrift in a storm at sea and they were left to wander the vast expanse of an open ocean. Separated by the fierceness of the darkened waves. Yet at last, the feigned journey at sea concluded with Lettie herself having finally come to the metaphoric shore; the open mouth of the cathedral where Helena awaited. The rain fell hard and heavy. Helena expected that it wouldn’t let up within time or reason. Nothing ever did in this place, not the gore, nor death and illness… and yet the pair stood there in the silence of the cathedral hearing the lingering notes of a beastly cacophony, soaked to the bone in the bed of chaos… In that, she did find humor no matter how subtle. A moment of solace and muted amusement. At least she got her to come in from the rain despite having called to her for a moment.“You were transfixed out there– I could just narrowly make out the ghost of you at a distance,” She answered simply, the air of a smile laden within her tone. As if a weight had be lifted, so too did her lips – once pressed thin now tugged into the shadow of a knowing smile. Head canted to the side with much the same inquiry of a curious feline, ever observant of the other - expectant even. Yet she did not wonder for long as she watched as Lettie squeezed out the water-logged fabric between jest and acknowledgement of her state, far worse off by comparison. However, Helena wasn’t exactly doing any better. She couldn’t help but to stifle the beginnings of a laugh at the way Lettie played it off. There was a pause as she carefully gathered up the tail of her own coat when she realized the cold weight of it against her chilled flesh from simply observing Lettie – had she hardly noticed the biting chill? It was there that she wring it out as if in a display of silent communion. Returning that wry half-grin, “At least that makes two of us, we can hang everything up when we get back to the clinic. Now then…” The tail of her coat slipped between gloved hands then before she shifted her posture, tipping her head back. Her own gloved hand swept through her hair to sweep out the remaining droplets with a swift flick before she cast a side-long glance toward the other side of the cathedral, “This place connects to an underground path and you may know already, but.. I know it connects to another building and while not much but it’ll carry us where we need to go.” The smile never left as she turned on her heel, “ Now, I do have questions for you later – should you welcome them, that is…”

     flesh pale as a cadaver felt the cold all the same, the prickling rain that swallowed all the cacophony of yharnam seeming to test her inhumanity . an observant gaze piquing upwards as the other knowingly grazed the surface of truth which she had tried to wave away with a pleasant smile and a mirthful retort, evidence of the dropping temperatures effect upon the doctor barely noticeable to the human eye . perhaps she had thought the same of herself, the lingering mark of vileblood pulsating through her heart resonating in time with the chorus of droplets, a honeyed melody singing alluringly from deep within her chest as to draw forth something buried far beneath her consciousness ; something perhaps even she had no knowledge of, that yet, still resided in her cells . years of the hunt, of yharnam’s joyous company, had left such a buried sight unseen, but now it was a forced possession . 

     ❛  i dare not think you have forgotten, doctor,  ❜​ her tone is unchanged, humouring as slickened gloves wipe away staining black waves from her pallour, pushing back heavied bangs which concealed the small defining marks upon her face, ❛  we are all haunted by ghosts here, and some find an ease about those of us who are, shall we say, not of this natural world .  ❜​

     the choir had marred her in a way more villainous than her clan ever had, immeasurable atrocities her children and accursed visions of stars reflected in the fading ripples of the sky caught behind her eyes . a sensitivity exposed with full autonomy, results which perhaps her father had once thought to explore deep within the sand scarred writings of loran, the hem of her conscious mind torn out with fraying edges reaching for something she couldn’t see, something that desired to see her .

      her isolation had not dulled her memory of yharnam’s twisting veins, cobblestone alleyways and wide step stairs, all familiar haunts which had once housed her inquisitorial hunt at the height of the church’s reign, ever still cloaked in black as she followed . the rain provided clarity to their steps, swallowing what scent and sound clung to their movements and allotted them safe faring across the blood pungent trails of the city ; beasts still lurked, yet blinded and slowed by slickened sights . even still, marletta gave way to helena’s lead, the other’s visit a common occurrence which rarely resulted in a venture such this beyond the territory the vileblood kept, which had spurred her once rested inquisitiveness with a growing curiosity ; a part of her gnawed at the idea of regret as even her own senses were not so sharp .

     ❛  and by chance i shall have opportunity to put some water on for something to warm us while we let our clothes out . ❜​ her tone remained light and hopeful, brow bridge rising with a subtle jolt upward alongside the piqued corner of her wine stained lips, concern more into the other’s well being a far more churning thought . 

     at the mention of questions her countenance barely flustered, teeth uncovered by the pulls of her smile, gaze looking onward where the other had previously described as she retorted easily back, ❛ lead onward and ask your questions, we can certainly see just how generous i am feeling with my answers ; just be reminded, my dear companion, that for all my attempt to see as you are, in the end, i am as they say : vileblood .  ❜

resident evil : village     /    @wiiaca  inquired :     ❝ who are you? who sent you? ❞ soka in her ac verse?

     there was safety in the curiosity of the other, veil opaque and dripping down the contours of the truth which the other sought so heatedly . were she inclined, perhaps there might be a careless ness that could benefit the other, but with the punctuation of such specific inquiries, discretion seemed the far better companion to keep . the cross upon her breast burned against the pale flesh beneath her blackened gown, a heavy weight around her neck that gave her name, but did not give her identity .

     in these walls, walls filled with curiosities and oddities she all knew by name warmed by a gentle crackling fire which gave a subtle glow about her features, she would not entertain threat or inquisition without guile and wit . a charming smile was her eloquent response, eyes cast down upon the text in hand before deftly she closes it to better address her new guest . 

    ❛ you must have me confused with another,  ❜​ tempered was her voice as she began, warm, yet firm, as politely she turned aside the other’s inquiries, ❛ my name is Marletta Black, owner of this establishment, so as you can see, no one sent me .  ❜​

[corvideus]

resident evil : village     /   @bcwblade ​ inquired :     ❝ my word, you truly are as strong as they say! ❞  (show off dem muscles, lettie 😚)

     there came moments such as these when her inhumanity seemed to manifest in a more pleasant way . rather than a mark of accursed blood, it was a welcome sight when necessity demand it of her ; strength unseen in her lean figure cloaked in blackened garb, yet seen in these small glimpses of power .

     she could hear her mentor’s scolding voice in the chorus of her weapon’s song, cobbled stone creating a cursed melody with the crash of hardened metal as claws slashed across her chest and knocked asunder what her hands once grasped . rarely had she been disarmed by the likes of beasts which hunted the lower streets of the city, encounters neatly arranged as their movements were committed to her memory like a well choreographed dance ; she swayed one way with the nuanced swing of the beast’s stride, her blades an extension of her arms as she’d bring them down in a grand finale . somehow this dance had slipped her mind, perhaps so stagnant her thoughts that her attention waivered long enough that she had missed a keynote in the refrain of the dance .

     there left little time for her to react, little space in which she might dive for her weapon once more and create a new crescendo for the symphony of their dance, and as such, improvisation had become the weapon of choice . bare hands finished what wit and blade had started, blood wildly spilling upon her person as she managed to challenge the strength of the beast with bones cracking, snapping, within her grip . it was less elegant than what was expected from a fallen lady of the vile court, but it served the purpose in ending the creature’s hunt and continuing her own . she had hoped none might witness her inelegance, but when she heard the familiar tune of his voice, she had to spare a breathless laugh at her luck . 

    ❛ and here i had hoped to perhaps be spared the exposure,  ❜​ blood soaked hands fish out a stray handkerchief from beneath her breast, body turning to welcome the sight of the seeker as she worked her hands within the cloth, ❛ most find it rather unsettling, the reminder that im not nearly as human as i look ; thought by the sound, i am glad it seems it does not haunt you in the slightest, my dear .  ❜​
