"What, you don't think it's goin to work?" Of the many things they'd attempted, made up along the way or pushed through, this wasn't really the weirdest thing to happen to them. Nor the weirdest any of them had attempted. "We've fought gods and monsters, we've faced aasimar. This is where you think I might fail and falter?" 

There was some truth to it all though. Lydi'aleera did not walk around with a companion attached, had been free as bird for as long as she could remember in this life. "He looks rather interesting."

[ineffablexxgayxx]

Magnus couldn't help but smile at the other. "It's the reputation I've had for centuries, but it's gotten me by so I choose to keep it." He chuckled, giving her a nod. "Conversation is something I can certainly do. It's nice to meet other's who actually know i'm a warlock and not someone who mixes random ingredients together."

[divincechoes]

"That would be rather dangerous, now wouldn't it?" Lydi'aleera did not know of the chaos magic could do in the other's world, but mixing things randomly never sounded like a good idea. If anything, it sounded like disaster waiting to happen and this warlock did not give the impression of a fool. No, not in the slightest.

She let her eyes wander around the place, as she stood be a shelf, glancing at the items in front of her. "Did you require a pact with a patron as well? To gain your powers?" Perhaps things worked different where he was from. ❧ @ineffablexxgayxx

@divincechoes [Lydi'aleera + Satoru Gojo] Location: THE HILLS CINEMA

"I've never really seen these movies. I don't think they existed in the world I come from." Gojo admitted. "However, that movie about the kids and the clown? I kinda liked it." He hummed. "That clown reminded of one of the lesser demons I would execute back home."

[divincechoes]

"You don't think so?" The mention caused confusion. For a moment she pondered about it. "So, do you not fully remember then?" Lydi'aleera herself had only gained parts back, still searching for the rest within her own mind. But a movie night, moving pictures as she had learned, that she could always do with.

Within a world so weirdly different from what she called her home, the blonde had a hunch that even most bizarre of things may give way to the unknown. "So what was it like?" ❧ @ineffablexxgayxx

[signcfthetiimes]

ariella had recognised the other almost instantly. she had always been good with faces. of course she didn't expect the other to recognise her in return. not from faerun and certainly wouldn't expect gale to have mentioned her. but the fact that ariella seemed familiar to the other was something. it caught her off guard, that's for sure. "oh. i - um, you may have seen me in passing before. at... the last light inn. and perhaps baldur's gate." it felt stange thinking of being back there. they were not pleasant memories for ariella. she suspected not for anyone there really. "i've heard weirder." she glanced towards the ice cream stall, nervous at first, but deciding there wa no harm in it. "ice cream sounds nice." @divincechoes

[divincechoes]

Lydi'aleera gave a nod. It was good to have the familiarity confirmed, the mentions of the Last Light Inn and Baldur's Gate ringing about as familiar as the rest, flickers of memories. A lot had return but plenty of things from her life there were hazy. All she knew for certain was that there were people here that mattered and somehow even the one in front of her seemed important, tied up in memories still too fractured.

"That must be it. My memories are slow to come back." She smiled, softly as she always had. "What is life if not a sequence of planned surprises and surprising twists?" That's what it had felt like. "What flavor?" ❧ @signcfthetiimes

[sunflowers-echo]

thought i should stop by, see if you were okay. - from bonanus ( @divincechoes )

"I'm fine, just homesick is all," Annika said softly, leaning back on her hands as she sat on the beach and stared up at the sky. "But thank you though."

[divincechoes]

Direct, yet kind seemed to be an odd mixture at times. "Where is home for you? If you miss it, not here, right?" Not this place, but she'd figured as much.

"Should I leave you be? The sun is rather nice." It was all offer, really. Whether the other wanted to talk or simply sit alone or take a walk. Whatever would get her mind off things, though the yaksha knew it not to be as easy. ❧ @sunflowers-echo

[allthatglxtters]

Xiao was silent as she spoke, his eyes staying firmly ahead of him on the waters and not looking at the woman at his side. Maybe she would want to know, but he did not know what the cost of that knowing would be.

He still didn't move to look at her again, thinking through his words carefully before he spoke with his measured calm. "I understand your wanting, and I understand that you don't want to question your mind. But, I do know what the end looked like. And I fear...I fear giving you all the details of our prior existence will result in that same end, or a necessity for it. Your end was not peaceful, nor were you in your right mind. And I have no wish to be responsible for your end in any capacity. That is my hesitation, on speaking of the past. No, it wasn't all bad, but I am uncertain my memory would be the best to consult for the happier memories, as they are much longer ago for me."

[divincechoes]

The details were missing yet with each second of resistance Xiao was painting a whole other picture of what she'd thought might be the case. Flickers had given her a path to good, but equally bad chaos. Clearly he had his reasons to refuse that which she thought would help her, memories that for him were distant and now full of pain. "Will you at least tell me their names?" Bonanus recalled there being more than just the two of them and his face alone was enough to tell her that hers likely wasn't the only tragic end.

"That's all I ask. I won't ask you again." Somehow that sadness of his had broken her need to know, simply because the worry that came with, radiating off him like a heatwave was enough for her to trust him. "If they come, they come back. But I promise I'll drop it." ❧ @allthatglxtters

“I swear, this place is haunted. The lights keep flickering.” ~ from lucy

.｡.:*☆ "You know...." Ruby made a pause, looking back and forth between Lucy and the lights on the ceiling. She was bored, and it sort of felt like a good idea to play a little with the other. In a total harmless way, of course, since she was no no mood to maybe have to clean up any mess later.

"You could actually be right. This place has very bad vibes. And you know what they say about people dying a painful death, right? They are never fully gone, forced to haunt the place where their life had ended in such a horrible way...." She whispered, grinning like a cat that just got the cream.

@divincechoes

[divincechoes]

At first it sounded as though her words had landed, then effortlessly transitioned to sound as if there truly was a ghost. No ghouls, no gone by era, an actual ghost and she was almost willing to believe it until the haunting comments came in. "You almost had me. I just don't believe ghosts would haunt anyone. Thought something paranormal here might be a nicer explanation. That's all." Personal opinion at that.

If someone where to get stuck, as a ghost, why haunt others when there is a whole world to explore? "Really, though. Those flickering lights are not normal." ❧ @ofcelestialstories

open starter || fitzwilliam darcy

darcy had thought that very few people knew about this part of the beach. a little lagoon hidden behind the trees. it was a hike, but one he didn’t mind. it was worth it for the privacy, a little alcove he claimed for himself, a place with no expectations, no judgement. it was easy to dive beneath waves and let the water wash his anxiety away.

so it seemed like his secret retreat was all for nothing when he swam on the shore to find another staring at him when he was wearing nothing but his shorts and a loose white shirt. his anxiety returned as easy as it had been washed away. “can i help you?” darcy asked, finding it difficult not to sound annoyed at the intrusion.

@ivycovestarters

[divincechoes]

Mere days ago she'd discovered the place, only come here once ever since. This was only her second time, needing the air because despite the beauty of town, Gwen wasn't fully used to it yet. With memories had come the desire for a quiet space, just somewhere that wasn't filled with people. No matter how much she loved the laughter and joy and the brightness and the colorful atmosphere of town, with its flowers and lamps and shop signs, sometimes it did become quite overwhelming.

Gwyneira whirled around at the sound of a voice, not having spotted the one in question yet. "Goodness. I didn't think anyone knew about this place." Only a fool would believe that a person who came here wasn't looking for either one of two things; a romantic spot for a date or a secluded place, far away from the chaos. "If you'd prefer, I'll leave. I won't blame you." ❧ @wastelcndbby

closed starter || jack o'brien and gwyneria montfort

jack smiled as he saw a familiar face enter the bar. he had been waiting for more sas to show up, hoping the attraction of a pub would draw them all in. he was glad to see the nurse specifically. contending with the loss of comrades had been mentally taxing, it was nice to know there was one person he hadn't completely let down. "i was wondering when you'd finally show up." jack teased. "it's nice to see you, gwen. you look well, hope life here is treating you well?"

@divincechoes

[divincechoes]

A pub in a place like Ivy Cove stood out, the design and everything else. And yet Gwen hadn't dare to have more than a small flicker of hope, simply because the alternative was far too cruel for the spy turned nurse.

From the very moment she set her foot inside the place, it felt as though she'd walked through a door that led home. The warmth, the charm, the atmosphere. It screamed Jack. It screamed so many things, or perhaps that had simply been her own mind. And then his voice rang out. "I can't believe you're here. This is insane." In the best of ways. Her feet moved before she'd even thought about it, ready to hug Jack. ❧ @wastelcndbby

closed starter || finn boyle and gwendoline flanagan

"have any remedies for missing people?" finn asked with a smirk, easily turning into a wide grin. he laughed kissed the knuckles of his favorite charge nurse, one he had missed dearly, one he never got to say goodbye to. he couldn't count the number of times she had likely patched him up, and never was he able to repay her for it. "would the patron saint of the SAS boys care to go for a pint? i reckon i have some thanking and explaining to do." he joked, knowing how he left things.

@divincechoes

[divincechoes]

Far and wide she'd searched, finding familiar faces and that of strangers. In a twisted turn of events she'd even spotted the faces of friends but somehow found them to be different people entirely. But when that voice echoed, those words blossomed hope. "Finn!"

She turned, her face snapping around. Here he was, alive and well and not a scratch that needed patching up by the looks of things. "You're back." Alive. And just like she smacked his arm, softly of course but firm enough to express her displeasure at the audacity he'd had. "I swear, if you dare die again your sister might be second in line to complain." ❧ @wastelcndbby

@ivycovestarters

steve stood beside the motorcycle at the side of the road, one hand resting on the handlebars while the other rubbed the back of his neck. the engine had died about ten minutes ago with a sound that definitely hadn't been good. he'd checked what he could, but mechanical work had never exactly been his specialty. when he noticed someone coming over behind him, he straightened a little out of habit, turning. "hey - you don't have to stop," he said automatically, though the small smile on his face softened the words. the stranger had already walked halfway over anyway. steve wiped a bit of grease off his hands with a rag he'd been carrying and gestured toward the bike. "she decided to quit on me out of nowhere." he glanced down at the motorcycle, then back at them with a faint, chuckle. "i can fly a plane, jump out of one, land it if i have to… but ask me to fix an engine and suddenly i'm out of my depth." though, they weren't that far out of town. steve could probably carry it to a mechanic if needed. "appreciate you stopping, but honestly, you don't need to waste your time."

[divincechoes]

Never in her life had Kathleen been someone able to walk away when someone needed help. Not in her past life, not in this. And truly, from a distance the guy just appeared lost, entirely. And from the sound of things, that wasn't entirely wrong. "I may not know much about engines but I did glance over the shoulder of a few people back in my village. Not sure that would be helpful." She glanced at the motorcycle in question.

"A smarter choice might be a mechanic. I could take you? My car's just over there. Or at least get you a cup of coffee while you wait for someone to arrive." Plenty of options really. ❧ @signcfthetiimes

@divincechoes [Gojo + Kathleen]

MEME WEEKEEND!!!

"I could be at home, but this is way cooler." - from kathleen

"I told you that it would be worth checking out." gojo pointed out as he moved to take a seat on top of the building, crossing his legs as he did. "just wait. the fireworks are going to look so much better up here."

[divincechoes]

With the times they lived in Kathleen had become more adventurous than ever before, a person reaching high. In this apparently the top of a building, quite literally through the roof. With careful steps she moved toward him before taking her sea.

"That was a climb I didn't plan for." Her arm pointed. "I'm so glad pants are normal parts of fashion these days. No way would I've done that with a dress." Or a skirt. ❧ @ineffablexxgayxx

[wastelcndbby]

finn paused a second, not believing what he was seeing. "i thought that had been lost in the desert somewhere." finn noted, his fingers tracing along the spine. a sudden fear struck him, the portrait on the last page, the only person in the whole journal. "this is mine, from quite some time ago." he chuckled, a little bittersweet. "i took these when i was deployed. it was nice to remind yourself of the beauty in the world amid so much destruction." he noted. he wasn't sure how to begin to explain how all of these pictures could have been taken from him, even though they had yellowness of age and the black and white hue of the photo itself. "i don't know how to explain all this, kath, i'm sorry. we're not from this time, or this place. neither of us should be here, and yet we are. we've been given another chance at life for lord knows why."

[divincechoes]

Kathleen didn't interrupt, not this time. Instead she let him talk, the way she had hoped he would. With those pages memories had come, flooding back with each page of the journal in her hands and as she placed it on the table in front of her, considering sitting down at the kitchen table for a moment, all she could was sigh. Not because of the things that he seemed to believe required explaining, no. Truth was that the memories brought with them a pain. Kath recalled the day that very journal had been given to her.

"I know." Her voice that had dropped down to a whisper came forth, words that were so simple. If all those memories were true then she was long dead, just based on the year they had crossed into, hopefully having died of old age. But him? Now, details may lack but the cause she knew. "I remember you being gone." ❧ @wastelcndbby

[allthatglxtters]

@divincechoes || ▸ i'll leave the porch light on. ~ from flins

"Yeah? For me? Aw." Varka smiled easily at the other, expecting he was teasing or something. "I'll keep an eye out for it, though I expect your lantern is an easier light to guide me to you. I'd offer to do the same, but alas, I don't have a porch."

[divincechoes]

Flins had made the comment simply because he'd heard it from one of those movies on tv, found it endearing. As someone who spent his whole life guiding souls, living or dead, it only made sense to leave a light on. "For you. For anyone who might get lost. From my experience that happens quite frequently."

His tone carried something cheeky, playful at that. "Do you tend to get lost, grandmaster?" ❧ @allthatglxtters

[sunflowers-echo]

"I may have broken a few things… but not the universe." - from flins ( @divincechoes

"Yeah breaking the universe is my job," Lohen snickered, twirling his dagger between his fingers as he looked at the mess surrounding them before looking back at the fae. "No but seriously let's get this cleaned up before somebody comes by to complain."

[divincechoes]

"Is it?" He found the idea rather amusing, and oddly thought-provoking. "I shan't ask why that is. You have your reasons." It was simple as that and for now he'd keep it that way. If the other wanted to share, he would.

Meanwhile he did have stuff to do, a whole mess. "Do you think they'd notice if we just disappeared?" ❧ @sunflowers-echo

[allthatglxtters]

Varka had long gotten used to the fact he'd never blend in, tall and broad as he was, so he'd just as long ago decided to make the most of it. Being friendly and charismatic just meant people were more likely to talk to him, and a bar was as good a place as any to gather information. There was the added benefit that the drinks could flow freely. and that made the lively bar the best spot for him on a night off.

He'd managed to get friendly with a few of the other patrons at the bar when Varka heard that familiar voice next to him, anyone else immediately gone from his attention as he focused on the man who'd appeared at his side. "Flins!"

Should he be this excited to see the other? Probably not, Varka knowing that his...less than platonic feelings for Flins would never go anywhere and he was just hopelessly pining, but he didn't particularly care. His friend was here, and giving him that little smirk he liked to try and hide. "You know me, I can find a group anywhere. What I didn't expect was to find you of all people! It is fantastic to see you!" It took a lot of self-restraint not to pull the other into a hug, but Varka did have self-control at the very least.

[divincechoes]

The smirk that carried his whole being, visible only to those he wanted it to be visible to, and gone just as easily as he reached for his own drink to take a sip. "Neither had I. One moment I was tending to the Final Night Cemetery, as I normally do, the next I was here. As far as memory serves, that is."

If that was truly the order of things was to be left for future questions and investigations. For now, he could only assume that his fake life was truly just fake or had been lived in an odd time gap that was left between where his memories ended and began once more.

"Last I saw you, you were headed back to Mondstadt. I take it you did not reach your home?" Curiosity was woven within every word. If this was about Varka, Flins would happily hear him out. "Are there any more people that you are familiar with? Any I might know?" If he could trust someone to know, surely the grandmaster. ❧ @allthatglxtters
