I'm Still Standing.

“We try to be perfect to meet other people's expectations. But making good choices--I think that's on us. We do good because we see value in good.” ― Caroline George, Quinn Fabray. Teacher. Mentor. Guardian Angel. Fabrose 1x1

Marley knew her mother was a witch since she was a child, however hadn’t realised that her mom bound her powers at quite a young age or “until she was ready“. Why that spell decided to think she was ready in her late 20′s was probably a blessing. To be honest with how her powers are she was quite glad that her empathic ability didn’t occur while at school. With all the hormones about at that time she’d have gone crazy.

Now aged 28 she had managed to become independent, successful and even get a college degree. The only sign of wicca she was able to perform were very weak spells. Then a few months ago out of nowhere in her apartment she could FEEL everyone’s emotions in the entire building. That then caused her telekinesis to break the television. A heads up would have been nice.

Marley has since been wearing a damper as a ring so her powers don’t overwhelm her. Although her new Whitlighter in the form of Quinn has been trying to guide her on how to use her powers correctly so that she doesn’t feel everything and everyone that is within a mile radius. Occasionally she tries to manage her power on her own but then a migraine happens like the one which was happening right now.

After briefly texting Quinn, Marley realised she should make an effort to look nice and so quickly put some basic make up on. Marley smiled as she heard Quinn appear in the living room and felt a warm feeling over her body as Marley went to greet her.

“Hey Q I am better now you are here. Thanks for the Red Velvet Cake you have totally made my day.“ Sge sighed. “I just wish I could block out humanity without having to use my ring.“

It’s been interesting, working with Marley. It’s not a power that Quinn’s been directly in contact with before, but that makes the whole thing even more interesting. She was immortal after all, so she’d end up seeing a whole lot of powers in her time. It doesn’t come as a surprise to her that the other has been blessed with this power, however, Quinn can’t say she knows anyone who’s more empathic and kind than Marley, even if she struggles with her powers.

She’d been thinking about a session today, to advance in their studies, but it certainly won’t be helpful if the other already has a migraine, and really, there’s always tomorrow.

“I do know your favorites.” She smiles as she steps fully into the room, placing the treats on the nearest table before getting some forks for the two of them. Her eyes, however, stay on Marley as she leanst against the counter.

“You’ll be able to.” Her voice softens just a little as she pushes the cake towards the other woman. “These things take time, and unfortunately humanity is bound to fail before they succeed, trial and error and all that,” She adds, “How was your day? Aside from the crushing migraine, of course.”

When Duty Calls // Fabrose

Quinn can’t say that she has any complaints about her current placement. She enjoys spending time in the mortal world, so to speak, more than she enjoys spending time with her own people, but then again she’s never really fit in anywhere in life, so this is quite fitting. Marley is a kind soul though, one who can do good if she’s taught how to, and Quinn wants to watch her succeed.

And well, she enjoys spending time with her.

Though her own immortal life is short compared to some of her ‘colleagues’, as Quinn likes to call them, she’s worked with a few people, some from the shadows, or the light so to speak, and some in close proximity with, and while it’s been right for each and every one of them, she’s glad that she doesn’t have to watch over Marley from afar.

She picks up some of the other woman’s favorite dessert before teleporting herself into Marley’s home, making sure to pick a spot that could not catch the other in a compromising decision. Of course they’ve only just texted, but Quinn’s had her fair share of experiences, so she’s not taking the risk.

“Marley?” She calls eventually, carefully poking her head into the living room, holding up the dessert. “How are you feeling?”

Text // Quinn → Marls

Marley: Any spells that you know of to bring that on? I'm kidding.

Marley: Suprise me with something.

Quinn: I mean the surefire way is dying and hoping that you've done good enough in life to become a Whitelighter.

Quinn: But I am not entirely certain that's an option for witches.

Quinn: Will do. I'll be there in a second.

Text // Quinn → Marls

Marley: To me you don't look a day over 30. I need your skincare routine.

Marley: Will you? I could do with some company.

Quinn: It's called Imortality, very hard to come by.

Quinn: Alright, I'll be there in a second. Do you need anything?

[enlightenedfabray]

Text // Quinn → Marls

Marley: Yes mom.

Marley: Well earlier I had to have blinds closed but it's less now. I think it helps that I tried to do a healing spell.

Quinn: Hey now. I might be over a hundred years old, but I don't look it.

Quinn: Do you need me to come over?

[enlightenedfabray]

Text // Quinn → Marls

Quinn: Don't you think staring at your phone screen will only increase the migraine?

Quinn: And before you say anything, I am only texting because I know you'll be reading it anyway.

Quinn: How bad is it?
