STELLA.

“ aw, how sweet. i am pretty amazing, aren’t i ? ” she said with an exaggerated wink. “ you’re pretty okay too, i suppose, ” she said, joking as she followed in the direction of the village. although, ella didn’t believe the word in the slightest. she loved her family here and would do anything for them. it was the only one she had ever had. “ it’s good. nothing too much out of the ordinary. been spending a lot of time in the infirmary recently, but that’s nothing new. ” she said, letting out a soft. “ how about you ?  how are things ? ”

EVERYTHING IS LIGHT-HEARTED between them, something levi finds easy to keep track of. it seems everyone he knows is in the thick of their own soap operas, and he’s determined to metaphorically dance to the beat of his own drum. “ gee, thanks a lot. means the absolute world coming from you. ” levi nods, perking up at the sound of her hanging out at the infirmary. “ well, that’s quite good. at least someone’s been keeping track of things going on there. ” he rakes his own mind for an answer, shrugging in response, “ been alright !! doing a lot of things with joypill and uhh.. yeah !! it’s been good, been hanging out with lots of old and new faces. ”

JUNE.

.

june’s really trying to clean her room, like, really really trying. but she just ends up being in the center of a brand new storm, reading notebooks from old classes and looking at the memories that breath life into the room. she’s fully lost track of the time when levi’s voice crashing against the otherwise lifeless walls of the house. “kay!! give me a second!!” carefully standing up, she tiptoes her way through the pile, grabbing on a cardigan to throw on as she leaves her room. june’s footsteps echo throughout the hall as she makes her way down the stairs, snatching the latte from levi without a word, placing a quick kiss on his arm in place of a thank you. hopping onto the opposite counter, she takes a sip with a sigh. “hi.”

AN AMUSED LOOK CROSSES his face as she takes the drink from him, leaning back on one of his palms casually. “ hi, yourself. ” levi greets in reply, taking a quick sip of his drink before placing it onto the counter. “ was i interrupting anything important ?? by the sound of that sigh, i reckon you were in the middle of something life changing. ” it’s all jokes, made clear by the mischievous grin appearing on face, before his features settle into something more genuine. “ honestly, though, how’s your day been, then ?? ”

SHILOH.

         THE FACT THAT THE whole band meant a lot of her, each member rather close to her heart in different ways, she knew that she couldn’t miss this performance. even if she was completely spaced out of her mind, altered by magic little mushrooms, that didn’t stop her from getting here.. “well, i feel honored to be joypills honorary groupie of sorts. how penny lane of me, right?” and she twirls with a smile spreading across her lips before she leaned against him, breathing the comfort of his embrace in. “i mean, i could….but then what did my special backstage access get me if i get treated like the crowd?” shiloh pointed out before batting her lashes up at levi, patting his shoulders as she juts out a bottom lip, “any about me??” she sing-songs as she can’t help the little laugh that escapes her, although the question was slightly serious, being levi’s muse had always raised curiosity if he ever wrote anything about her. even one verse, one line, something that could make her eternal in the shape of music.

THE WAY THAT SHE LOOKS at him, with her big eyes and pouted lips, it’s hard to deny her any of the answers that she was looking for. maybe being so clearly wrapped around someone’s finger was dangerous, but levi thinks it’s all worth it. after all, not only was she, an enigma, the leading cause of some of his best music, but he did actually get along with her quite well. “ some.. quality time with your favorite band ?? ” the male tries to answer, before letting out a chuckle. her question leaves him bashful, feeling his cheeks heat up just thinking about his own response, “ —yeah, a few. are you surprised, though ?? ” it’s a genuine question underneath his smiley exterior. countless lyrics scribbled hastily into notebooks about the way her oceanic blue hues sparkled, or the way that her laugh could rival a siren’s song, she was bound to end up being the subject of at least some of his music. “ that’s all you’re getting from me, though !! no ifs, ands, or buts. ”

“Yeah, so, I tried it for the first time. You ever heard that it makes your piss smell weird, asparagus? ‘Cause I think I’ve heard that before, not sure where, don’t ask me. But I didn’t really believe it, but I’ve gotta tell you, I do think there may be something to that now, ‘cause I’m…” He paused to take a breath. Would this be the real test of their friendship? “I mean, it’s been like twenty-four hours and I’m still not sure if this is normal or if I should maybe go to the doctor. So, uh. I guess I’m just looking for a bit of input from your side, there.”

THE EXPLANATION FOR THE SUDDEN topic change leaves him visibly.. concerned ?? confused ?? either way, the look on his face betrays him, looking over his shoulder, “ i thought that was like, a myth, no ?? ” levi admits, before a new question pops into his mind, “ mate, who even smells their own piss anyways ?? —are you feeling alright ?? been drinking plenty of water or something ?? ” he tries to consider rhys’ options, as if he would know what to do. “ i don’t think you should go to the infirmary, if that’s what you’re wondering. i don’t think vitakinesis works like that. and i’d rather not subject my siblings to your pee problems. ”

ONE LEVI SHOULD BE MORE than enough, but an entire house of him? there was no more alluring idea in her head than that thought. the ferris wheel was an enticing option as well, especially if by some divine intervention, they’d end up trapped at the highest point for at least an hour or two, just him and her watching the sunset with no other interruption, no distractions. and then there was the third and final suggestion. would he be her knight in shining armor, triumphantly beating one of the obviously rigged games the carnival has to offer, all to present her, his princess, with a most admirable trophy, even though she herself would be his greatest prize? for a second, she briefly winced, the idea of being a trophy or a prize a little unsettling, before she turned to him with wide eyes, shining, shimmering… “ splendid !! i mean, that sounds absolutely splendid, levi. if you don’t mind ?? no one has ever won anything for me before. ”

THE WAY SHE LOOKS AT HIM when he mentions winning her something already answers the question of just what they would be doing. determination bubbles inside of his chest, though a brief wave of confusion washes over him at the small admittance, “ for you ?? of course i wouldn’t mind. —really, though ?? well, i’m more than happy to change that, m !! least i could do, honestly. come on, then. stick close, would you ?? ” levi tells her, not wanting to lose her in the crowd of carnival goers. they make their way to game alley, not without him glancing back every few moments to make sure she was with him, satisfied to spot her keeping up with him,  “ any special requests or prizes catching your eye there, madds ?? babe, name it and it’s yours. ”

RORY.

for as long as levi had been struggling with lyrics, rory had been plucking at his guitar, idle little melodies that didn’t carry much potential. any other day, he would’ve given up and gone to find a fix by now, but he was trying to cut down and idle hands were the devil’s plaything. it was the only reason why he was sticking around, almost entirely in silence except for his music and the sound of levi writing in his notebook. “i can bash your brains in myself, if you want. more likely to actually get blunt force trauma that way.” he’s clearly not serious, already snapping his guitar into it’s case. “we could get smoothies, see a movie, go to the arcade?” anything but sit around struggling to make music. 

“ WHY WOULDN’T I WANT THAT. YOU know how much i love a team effort. ” levi replies, though it’s got the usual sarcastic tone. he looks back at rory, watching him put away his guitar. “ smoothies and the arcade would be ace, actually. good thinking, my man. ” he’s thankful that his bandmates were also among the closest of his friends, rory being no exception. sitting up from his laid back position, he twists his back just so to receviing a satisfying set of pops before finally standing up. “ bet that i could kick your ass in mortal kombat. just watch. ”

VIRGINIA.

there’s a bright smile on her lips as she gives him a small nod , “they definitely suit you well. if i had to associate any flower with you, i’d pick a sunflower - you both manage to brighten anyone’s day.” an actual true statement. despite the heartache he caused her, she couldn’t deny that her day always seemed to get better when he was around ( despite how much she wouldn’t actually admit it ). “oooh,” she coos, “i’m always down for some shimmer and extra gems, mermaid’s tail it is then!” a light laugh leaves her lips as she shakes her head. “i’m not the most persuasive though and considering i’ve probably become their most annoyingly frequent customer, i may need your help to sweet talk them.”

THE COMPLIMENT BRINGS A CERTAIN warmth to his cheeks, taking visible pride in that fact. “ you flatter me, vi. —just want to make people happy, is all. ” levi brushes past the subject, though it’s nice to know that she believes that that’s the case, despite everything. being friends is seemingly coming easier than anticipated. “ you ?? not persuasive ?? c’mon, vi.. get your theatre kid game face on. ” he’s quick to encourage her, clearly more than willing to play some sort of role to help get her extra gems. as long as she was content, that’s really all that mattered to him. “ say the word and i’m there. tag me in !! ”

SHILOH.

          SOMETHING ABOUT INSPIRING someone was so comforting, especially when it came to music, and even in her messy state of mind; she wouldn’t have forgotten about stopping and seeing him perform. plus, multiple people in the band meant a lot to the petite blonde, “here i am!” she echoed back as she opened her arms on either side as if to present herself, giggling as she looked at him, “i wouldn’t miss this for the world, levi! thanks for putting me on the vip list, i feel so fancy.” shiloh explained as she approached him and wrapped her arms around him, hugging him close for a moment and then pulling back to put her hands on both his shoulders, “so, what songs are you performing tonight, hmmm?”

HIS SHOULDERS SLACK, SUDDENLY feeling less tense than he had fifteen minutes before. not that he was genuinely nervous, it was always the leadup to a performance that made him a bit antsy. “ of course. i know the guys would want you back here too, so.. ” levi’s feeling uncharacteristically sheepish, a common effect that shiloh had on him, whether she realized it or not. he holds her close for a moment, the last of his anxieties subsiding as they both pull back, a light chuckle escaping him at the question. “ don’t want the setlist to be a surprise ?? ” levi aks, before ultimately giving in. after all, who was he to refuse ?? “ all the classics. —well, mostly. we’ve got a new one that i was planning on unveiling tonight, but that’s between me, the guys, and now you. ”

STELLA.

the brunette was coming back from her last class of the day with her normal smile planted on her face when she heard a familiar voice using one of her many nicknames. “ levi ! ” she said matching her brothers energy turning on her heels. “ too long. ” ella spoke shaking her head with a small laugh. “ i actually just finish all of my work for the day. so, looks like you’re stuck with me and we are going to kabob palace. ”  

“ COULD NEVER BE STUCK WITH you. always a good time. ” as ra of the apollo house, he felt like it was his job to keep up with all of his siblings, whether they wanted him there or not. he turns on his heels, walking backwards in the direction of the village, “ tell me, ellie, how’s life been ?? you getting on alright ?? ”

RHYS.

where: the hermes house who: closed for @eulevis​

“Hey.” Rhys stretched out across one of the couches in the cluttered common room. He’d cleared a little space on the coffee table between the piled textbooks, an errant bong, and remnants of crafts and projects his siblings had picked up and abandoned, and now he picked at the fries from his takeout lazily. He glanced at Levi, seated near him. “Weird question. No reason for it. Have you ever eaten asparagus?”

FINGERS PLUCK AT GUITAR STRINGS, absent minded, and moreso stoned. he should be working on various assignments that were due in the coming days, but instead, his eyes are stuck on a particular spot of the floor. “ —huh ?? ” levi’s pulled from his daze thanks to rhys, looking over his shoulder at his old childhood friend. “ i’m a personal believer that there are no weird questions. don’t try to prove me wrong on that. ” he starts, before pondering his own diet. “ i’m sure i have. i want to say yes. it’s not a vegetable that i go out of my way to partake in, obviously. —have you ?? ”

[eulevis]

@roryeu​

THERE ARE TIMES WHERE WORDS, even for the muso himself run dry. he’s been staring at the page of chicken scratch for a little under an hour now, much to his own dismay. the frustration is there, as uncharacteristic as it may seem. “ alright, yeah, fuck this. ” levi says suddenly, reaching his breaking point with the bout of writer’s block. he closes the notebook without another thought, tossing it onto his bag beside him on the floor. “ rory, mate, ” he looks to his friend, suddenly eager to get his mind off of the dryspell, “ let’s do something. i dunno what, but if i have to think of another lyric, i might have to bash my brains in with your guitar. ”

@eustellaxflint

THE SIGHT OF ONE OF HIS dear sisters ( particularly, one that didn’t want to kill him ) brings a bright smile to his face. “ ellie !! ” the nickname rolls off the tongue with ease, a hand reaching up to hold onto the guitar strap over his chest as he jogs over to her, “ long time, no talk. —you busy right now ?? i just got out of band practice and am dying for some proper nourishment. let’s go to kabob palace, or something. ”

[eulevis]

@junexeu​

HIS ICED TEA IS ALREADY HALFWAY GONE by the time he makes it to the zeus house. he enters without knocking, knowing at this point most if not all of the children of the lightning god don’t mind him being there. “ jb ?? ” levi calls out as he steps inside the main entryway, slipping off his shoes in an ironic form of politeness, “ got you your usual, figured we could hang out today. ” he shakes the iced peppermint latte around, as if to prove it. maybe giving her a heads up would’ve been a good call, but he’s never been the formal type, opting to make his way into the kitchen, hopping onto the counter unceremoniously.

MADDY.

ღ

THE IDEA OF A HEARTBROKEN LEVI was not appetizing to the daughter of hestia, not one bit, but when the thought crossed her mind that he’d have his heart broken if he could not see her? well, that was an entirely different story. a giddy giggle effortlessly escaped her lips, as she decides to look away yet again, one hand brushing strands of stray hair behind her ear, tucking them away, her cheeks growing hotter and redder by the minute. “ well, you won’t have to worry about that, levi. i’ll never break your heart. ” maddy has never experienced this kind of attention from any guy, or at least nothing of the sort that she could’ve ever noticed. levi was a friend, but more than that, he was someone she looked up to, idolized, and perhaps even felt things for, things she could not admit or even explain to herself. “ oh, uhm, i don’t know, actually… something safe ?? ” she offers him an apologetic smile. all things considered, this was technically her first time at a carnival with someone who wasn’t related to her. yikes.

MADDY’S BLUSHING AGAIN, AND it takes everything in him not to egg her on. it doesn’t occur to him that this dynamic is anything other than good fun, and two friends harmlessly flirting with one another. that might be a problem for another time. “ something safe, i think we can manage that, sure. ” levi repeats aloud, letting out a light chuckle at that. he’s not quite sure how safe any of the pop up attractions really were, but he’ll humor her for the time being. “ could try out the house of mirrors, the ferris wheel, or— ” he looks over her shoulder, towards game alley, “ how about i try to win you a stuffed animal, or something !! can’t promise that it’ll be the grand prize, but it’s the thought that counts, yeah ?? ”

[eulevis]

SORAYA.

“ i hope you know that i’m going to hold you to that, ” she can’t help but laugh out in return as they hurriedly headed to the destination. she’d secretly hoped she’d be able to experience the ferris wheel with him. although she typically tried not to entertain any thoughts about the interest ever being mutual, she couldn’t help but smile to herself at the small victory. fortunately, the line is relatively short when they reach it, leaving them with a small wait time. “ okay, tell me now, so i can mentally prepare myself — you are going to rock the seat, aren’t you? ”

HE BLAMES THE SUDDEN OUTBURST on the adrenaline still running through his veins. though, he hesitates to let go of her hand when they make it into the line, he eventually does. “ oh, yeah, of course i am !! —but just a little bit. i wanna see the stars if we stop at the top. ” levi admits to soraya rather sheepishly. a few moments pass before they’re next in line, levi stepping to the side to let her pass by him. “ ladies first. ” his tone is dramatically polite, a giddy grin still gracing the demigod’s features.

VIRGINIA.

ღ

“ that’ll look adorable ! ” she gushes , “do you have an idea of which? because a sunflower could totally make the bedazzled center work. or a chrysanthemum - a daisy or lily too!” her passion for flowers knowing no end thanks to her chlorokinesis. “you’ll look awesome, très cute!” she gives him a playful wink. threading on a thin line, while passing off the subtle flirting as just innocent playfulness. a wide grin curves on her lips as she feels his fingers intertwine with hers. she swings their hands playfully as they make their way through the crowd, a silent assurance that this is simply platonic. at least, that’s what she needs levi to think considering there’s nothing platonic about what vi’s plans with him are. “i don’t know. i swear there are too many options and not enough time. maybe a pegasus or a mermaid? i’m thinking anything that leaves me with a face full of gems.”

THE MENTION OF FLOWERS SEEMINGLY lights virginia up like the lights of the ferris wheel, bringing a fond smile to his face. “ i think a sunflower would be fitting, all things considered. it’s decided, then !! ” hands swing and he stifles a laugh at the childishness of it all, just relieved that they could once again speak to each other without an air of tensity around them. “ love the idea of the shimmeri-ness of a mermaid’s tail, personally. the might be your best bet. if you get on their good side, you could probably ask for extra gems, or something. power of persuasion, vi. ” levi tells her, before falling into the short line leading up to the face painting station.
