A wide grin spread across Eury’s face, and she looked up. Evie. It had been so long since she’d seen her, and having her standing there in front of her made her feel happy for the first time in weeks. They didn’t know each other very well, but she seemed to relate to Evie more than other people –– she loved to fight, and didn’t hold back, just like Eury. It was refreshing to have a friend like her, even if the other probably didn’t consider them friends. She didn’t seem like the type of person that liked to form emotional bonds. Eury couldn’t blame her for that.

“Taking off without a word is better than long, drawn out goodbyes. Besides, we wouldn’t be able to have this beautiful reunion if I hadn’t ran off.” Evie looked good, and for some reason, Eury felt the urge to hug her. But she wasn’t going to do that, because they hadn’t even hung out properly yet. It would be weird to just throw herself at the poor girl out of the blue. “I agree. Maybe we should actually arrange to meet up for once,” she said with a chuckle. “Now that I’m back, I have an empty diary, and it’d be really cool to catch up with you. But only if you wanna, obviously.” 

Listening to Eury speak, Evie found herself nodding in understanding. She wasn’t sure what it was that made her feel so drawn to the other, maybe it was the shared fire, anger, and pain she saw in her eyes. Or maybe they were just two lost, kindred souls. She had a hard time believing Eury had lived a life similar to hers but she didn’t doubt that there was more to the girl’s story than she knew. And even if it was a distraction, she couldn’t deny that she wasn’t curious about her.

Having experienced loss more times than she’d like, Evie knew goodbyes made no difference. People liked to think it did but it didn’t. “I don’t blame you, I would have done the same. Oh, right because having an angry hot girl run into you is always a pleasure.” She joked with a light chuckle. She didn’t mind it but it wasn’t the most ideal meeting. “Maybe, but that does take away the spontaneousness of it.” Now she was just messing with her, which seemed to come easily. She didn’t find herself caring one way or another when it came to how they met. “Yeah, why not? I can’t say I have that much going on in my life at the moment either, so.” And if nothing else she could maybe get some answers, as she had a feeling Eury and her friends knew more about the whole Power Rangers thing than they let on.

penroseholmes:

The scene before her is unlike anything she’s seen before on the NYU campus. No, it’s not slimy giant piles of goo trying to suck up people and buildings, nor reptilian creatures running amock. It’s not even remotely monstrous at all, unless you consider book-burning to be so. Unfortunately, Aspen is torn on the topic. On the one hand, she clings tightly to the thick tome on modern physics in her arms. She hasn’t even read through it all the way yet and she knows she’ll likely need it for next year, so the appeal of burning her books come the end of the semester is lost on her. But alternately, there’s a morbid fascination that keeps her standing there among the crowd, watching the flames of the large bonfire at the center of campus climb higher and higher as student after student deposit their books, notes, and various school supplies into the growing pile.

“Holy shit,” is all she can seem to say, stunned as something flammable gives a fresh roar of life to the flames. “Can you believe campus security hasn’t shut this down yet?”

Evie had noticed the smoke in the sky and in the air and went to track down its cause. She assumed it was Devone or one of his minions up to no good again since most of the city’s problems either came from him or the acts of human’s themselves. Coming to a stop once she reached the campus and noticed the crowd, she headed over to a somewhat familiar face. She’d expected to find a lot of things but a bunch of students burning books wasn’t one of them. “Does this happen a lot? It seems like it should be illegal.” Or monitored at least, she thought to herself.

eurydicecostas:

Standing on the campus grounds, Eury had never felt more nervous. It had been six months since she’d last been around, and she guessed that a lot had changed since she left. Her friends would have moved on without her, and her relationships with each of the rangers would probably be strained as hell now that she was back. Part of her considered running away again, and hopping on the next bus out of the city. But she couldn’t leave again, she had to be strong. There were people she needed to see, and relationships that she needed to mend — mostly the one with her sister.

Taking a deep breath, she threw her cigarette butt on the grass, and began to walk. Considering that she was a fighter, and she’d take on anyone who got in her way, she sure felt like a coward right then. At least Tommy and Kat had forgiven her for deciding to bounce. She doubted that the same could be said for the people who relied on her, and expected her to lead. Six months had gone by, and she still hadn’t thought of what to say to her teammates, or her family. Sure, she’d sent the odd text here and there, but that really wasn’t much effort, was it?

As she was walking, she wasn’t really looking where she was going, due to her mind being so clouded with negative thoughts. Before she knew it, she’d collided with someone, and had to find her voice in order to apologise. Or maybe she wouldn’t. Saying sorry had never really been her thing. Keeping her eyes downcast, she frowned a little and readjusted her bag over her shoulder. “Don’t ya know it’s rude to walk into people,” she grumbled.

Replaying her sparring session over and over in her mind to pick out any mistakes she’d made, Evie didn’t notice the approaching figure until they ran into her. Reaching up to push back the damp hair that had fallen in her face, her head snapped up at the familiar voice. “So I’ve heard.” She’d never been taught that by her parents, being as young as she had when they died, she barely remembered what they looked like most days. And on the streets, politeness didn’t get you anywhere, but she’d learned when to play the part. 

“I’ve also heard it’s rude to take off without a word. I suppose we’re both guilty of that too, eh?” Her comment wasn’t meant to be a dig at Eury, merely an observation. She’d noticed the girl’s lack of presence around the last six months and heard her friends speak of it in passing. Giving her a quick once over, a small smile tugged at Evie’s lips. She’d missed seeing the other around, even if she didn’t want to admit it to herself. “We really have to stop meeting this way, Eury.”

kaydendelacroix:

Kayden was sitting at the bar smalling as she sipped on her drink. These past six months have been pretty good to her. Devone has decided to teach her a few things about cybernetics and biocybernetics. Of course, she is a quick study. So, taking what he has shown her and putting it to the test by creating a few new creatures for the rangers to play with. Has proven to Devone that he is right in trusting her more than his own daughter. The next sip of her drink tastes a bit sour as she thinks of that girl. The monsters Syria has been creating seem to be lacking. It’s like she isn’t even trying, and whenever that girl fails. It doesn’t end well for her. There is just something off about that girl. She can feel the hatred and anger raiding off of Devone everytime they are in a room together. Syria has so much potential and she is wasting it. Oh, well Syria’s loss is her gain. Kayden wonders how long it will take for her to realize she has been replaced. By a human no less. 

Smiling as she sets her glass down. She wonders how long it will take before Devone has earth at his mercy. Yes, these six months have been pretty good. Even though they have taken a few hits here and there. But, everything feels like it is slowly falling into place for them. She knows Devone is planning something big. But, until he calls her she might as well have some fun. Looking over at the bar stool next to her. Kayden smiles brightly “Hey, there stranger. You come here often?”

Patience was one thing Evie had never been too skilled in, not when it came to vengeance, to people who wronged her, and Devone happened to be number one on that list. She’d spent countless days training for the day to finally take him down but she’d grown to realize she couldn’t do it alone. She worked better in the dark, in the shadows, and her job would be much easier with a distraction. That was where she needed the Power Rangers, Devone was so focused on them that she knew it’d be his downfall one of these days. If she could wait that long was the question. 

With Arlo pretty much gone off the grid, she’d started coming above ground more hoping to overhear something useful in her cause. Working undercover underground only got her so far. That’s how she ended up here, a place she would normally not step foot inside. There were too many people, too many drunks, and neither appealed to her. Nursing her drink, she glanced over when she heard someone speak to her. What was it with the people on this planet and small talk? “No,” she replied, before taking another drink. She wasn’t looking to participate in conversation but knew better than to judge on appearances, maybe this girl knew something useful. “Places like this aren’t usually my scene.”

EVIE: Festive season? Oh right, it's some holiday for you people...that was the point of all this.

[evienayak]

TEXT 💬 EURVIE.

[evienayak]

EVIE: Sorry, who is this again?

[evienayak]

eurydicecostas:

Eury had almost forgotten that Arlo existed, but then Evie brought him up, and wide smile spread across her face. He was a weird little dude, but she liked him. “Arlooo! I haven’t seen him in forever. D’ya know how he is?” she asked. “He told me a scary story once, but it wasn’t very scary. I bet him and his girlfriend bake pies together. I wanna bake pies with someone,” she said with a frown. “Actually, no I don’t. I prefer cupcakes.” It was a statement that was out of place, but Eury didn’t feel like her diner friend would hold it against her. She was so nice, and stupidly attractive. Not to mention she looked like she could put up a fight. Eury would probably let her put her in a headlock, just to see how strong she was, and to get close to her. When the girl said she hadn’t got a light, she pouted slightly. Noticing Evie bend down to pick something up, she realized that she’d actually dropped the joint, and that the other seemed intrigued by it. Nodding, Eury rubbed her stomach with her hand. “I’m great now you’re here,” she said with a weak smile, trying to ignore the fact that she might vomit all over the pretty girl at any given moment. Taking a couple of deep breaths, the nausea thankfully seemed to subside a little. 

When her hands were pulled away from Evie’s face, Eury let out a soft sigh, smiling softly when the other made no attempt to let her hands go. It felt nice to have even the tiniest bit of human contact right then, in that moment. It didn’t matter how many people she slept with to get over her ex girlfriend, she still felt lonely. Evie didn’t make her feel that way, though, and it was nice. She could’ve been an asshole, and pushed Eury away, or taken advantage of her, but she didn’t. Chuckling, she shook her head. “She definitely wasn’t an alien, ‘cause she’s got a bellybutton.” Squeezing Evie’s hands, she bit down on her lower lip as she thought about what to say next. “Sorry that I’m a mess. Seeing as you don’t wanna smash while I’m smashed, d’ya wanna get coffee or something? I promise I’m better when I’m sober.” 

“No.” Evie couldn’t hide the bitterness in her voice. They were here for one thing and one thing only. And playing house or whatever he was doing with his girlfriend definitely wasn’t it. “A scary story? What kind of story?” She asked with a tilt of her head. The mention of pies and cupcakes went over her head as she tried to figure out what he could’ve told her. Something about Nexus maybe? Remembering her words, Evie shrugged. “They’re okay.” Was all she said. Extending her hand to hand Eury back the joint, she gave her a perplexed look. “What is this?” She couldn’t help but ask, letting her curiosity win out. 

Evie wasn’t completely sure why she continued to hold the girl’s hands, she’d never been one for physical affection of really, any kind. It wasn’t something she’d received since losing her family as a child, and definitely wasn’t something she gave out easily. It was as foreign to her as this planet, but it felt like something Eury needed right now. Raising a brow, she smiled a genuine smile. “That’s your qualification for an alien?” She asked somewhat incredulously. “You’re hurting.” Evie didn’t understand what it was like to lose a significant other, but she did know what it was like to lose a loved one. Her grief had driven her to become who she was today, a person she didn’t always like, but she accepted who and what she was. “But sure. Or if you want something free, because I don’t have any cash on me, I could make you some. I have a place not too far from here.”

roreomarshall:

“Have you ever been punched in the boob?” she countered. “Nobody wants that.” She sat back in her seat wondering if she had gone too far. “Something like that,” she admitted. “I mean, I take a lot of photos if that counts. I’m a photographer.” Smirking, she tried to keep her face straight, feeling the odd sensation that she was suddenly being heavily scrutinized. “Nothing,” she answered. “Just didn’t take you for a ‘pink’ kind of girl, is all. It’s cute,” she added, having already pegged the fact that it’d likely drive the woman nuts. They’d only just met, but Rory was fairly certain ‘cute’ was the last thing she’d want to be described as. It was amusing, and she reminded her of both Eury and Sawyer in some ways. So naturally… “I like you,” she determined. “Alien and all.” Her eyes sparkled with the joke, or rather, assumed to be joke. Now that she thought about it, it wasn’t all that unlikely. “I’ve met some of those before, and they didn’t even probe me.” Scoffing, Rory chuckled. “You sound like my girlfriend.”

A fond smile crossed her face, and she shrugged. “Whatever. More for me!” Returning to her fries, she stuffed another into her mouth before glancing up, confused. “Yeah, it’s like the biggest chain of superstores ever. Are you like rich or something?” she asked abruptly. “Rich people like Chanel. The internet told me.” Nodding in agreement, she grabbed another fry. “Totally, my friend does that, but not me. It sounds hella stressful, but it doesn’t matter anyway. I’m real fast.” She grinned again. Taking Evie’s hand, she shook it eagerly. “Rory. Rory with a y.” 

"No?” She replied somewhat unsurely, not understanding where this was going. She’d been through much worse than getting punched. “Ah,” Evie nodded in understanding. Well, as close as she could. The girl’s jaw clinched ever so slightly at the ‘cute’ remark, but she didn’t respond to it. Even if something bothered her, she knew how not to show it. At least, most of the time. “It isn’t the color really, it’s simply the way they hold themselves,” she explained with a small shrug. “There’s just an air of grace and confidence, and you know what they say about that.” Nothing about that was a lie. Dark eyes widened for a brief moment as Evie found herself nearly speechless. While she didn’t think she was being rude, she wasn’t exactly being friendly either. “Thanks?” The blonde’s eyes looked like she was joking with her but Evie wasn’t convinced, something about her just wasn’t adding up. “Huh, sounds like you attract a type then.”

“Rich? No,” she scoffed. Anything she had in life she’d either stolen or earned. Nodding along with her as she pretended to agree and know what she was talking about, Evie couldn’t help but glance around the room. She didn’t like public places like this, there was too much going on, too many people. It sent her senses and paranoia into overdrive if she didn’t have a task in front of her to focus on. “Mhm,” she hummed, snapping back to reality at the touch. “Right, good to know.”

syriafraye:

Syria looked from Evie to the notebook. “Yeah… I guess it is sort of a bucket list. Eh, I hope it does help me out.” Giving a little shrug as she tried not to think about her father reaction to her list.  “Because writing down what I’d like to accomplish is only half the battle. The other half is getting it done.” Syria rested her chin in the palm of her hand. “Have you ever had a bucket list?” She asked.  

“That’s true, and actions are usually what people have the hardest time with.” Words were simply just that until they were put into action. But one thing she’d picked up at a young age was people tended to say they would do something, yet never did. They just talked - mindlessly, pointlessly. The world was filled with false promises, no matter what world you were on. Reaching up to scratch her head, she shook it softly. “Nope.” Truth be told, she didn’t expect to live long enough for something like that. “I’m more of a live in the day and in the moment kind of person.”

[evienayak]

liamsayoc:

Liam chuckled at Evie’s question, then shrugged one of his shoulders. “I just told him the truth, man. I told him Power Rangers rule, and are better than the Fantastic Four. I guess he didn’t like my opinion, but who cares! It’s a free country!” When asked if he’d pay for food, Liam nodded his head with a bright grin on his face. “Of course. It’s my shout, ‘cause I asked! What’re you in the mood for? Let’s pig out!” 

“What’s the Fantastic Four?” At any given normal moment Evie would have questioned him further on the Power Rangers, as he seemed to know more about them than most. It was one reason she hung around him. But her momentary confusion distracted her from that. She had never heard of this group before. Perhaps they would also be beneficial in the fight against Devone. Remembering the point of this interaction, she smiled back. “Good, because I maybe have like a few bucks on me. Um, pizza? Pizza sounds good.”
