Elfgar: Murder is probably very very bad to fuck with and causes ripples of other unforeseen problems despite the immediate benefits of the outcome and the reasoning being absolutely necessary and good Elfgar: Hangs out with murderers

[natophonetic-deactivated2023091]

She's warm and strong. Her breath and arms satisfy a herd instinct to touch and be touched. He tilts his head to watch her, her hair a bit in his face. "You'd be suited. Long bones. Or you could work on site under me." He lets her move him to the proper position, flexing and unflexing the tiny golf club to line it up with the ball. He does a little wiggle to tell her he's ready to tee up, biting his lip in concentration. "Have you thought what you're gonna do after we last spoke on it?"

"Guess you don't need to. Netflix and that."

[fakedsciences-a]

"Under you, hm?" She sounds distant, distracted. It is as if she is preparing him for something noble, of the upmost importance.

"I don't take orders so well." ALL RISE, the bailiff says, and Mackenzie Knight rolls her eyes.

She guides him by gripping his forearms still, gently maneuvering him into a swinging position.

"Netflix'll run out eventually," she says, lighthearted enough about the greatest source of contention in her otherwise blissful little life. "But Cass works for these real nice floral arrangement-y people, and, you know." It's nothing. She shouldn't have mentioned it. Can he swing the fucking mini golf club already?

[natophonetic-deactivated2023091]

Folks. So she's not fussy, just hard work.

It hadn't crossed his mind to ask if she was single. You see a woman chronically unaccompanied and arguing in a big room and you jump to conclusions.

"See them. Just see me too."

[fakedsciences-a]

It really has been that simple for her. There has always been Cass, since her mother died. And then when things started happening, when she started waging her war against Idris and god, there was JM, and now there is always Cass and JM. But there are also pretty women in clubbing dresses, men with mustaches, people who stick around until they see the three-pronged coat rack...

"I had no idea you were feeling this way. Or that you could be so insistent." But she's happy about it. Proud of him, even.

[fakedsciences-a]

[natophonetic-deactivated2023091]

"No no. Adjust." Elfgar's played golf before. He just likes to omit minor details about himself for personal gain (her breath on his neck.) "Did you play this in the fields?"

[fakedsciences-a]

She sighs airily as she steps behind him — playing up that whole breath on his neck thing, hoping she tickles the hairs, prickles the skin — arms wrapped broadly around his torso.

"Oh, we played all sorts've games. Anything involving sticks and leather balls. Mostly we just ran around, got some excellent cardio in. I think in a different world, I'm a professional athlete, and I've got plenty of arm candy." She winks, squeezes his forearm. He is the arm candy. It's him.

[natophonetic-deactivated2023091]

"I dunno." Why is this more frustrating than the threat of a stabbing? "Even if you're not good, I'd understand. But you're not bad, Mack. Not like your dad. You're in here, in and out the week, telling these bad stories to strangers when you could've fucked off instead, couldn't you? Lived your life."

"You're ethical and I think that's bloody mad."

[fakedsciences-a]

Not like your dad. Her vaguely amused smile becomes a steep frown. She'd hope she's nothing like her dad. Even if she is, a little bit, she'd hope nobody else could see it. She thinks about how there is a greater good, a greater purpose — thinks about how she just does what she knows, knows is actually right anyways.

"Does calling girls big words usually get them to fancy you back?" She likes the way he talks. It's compelling in a way other people can't be.

"You know I'm seein' folks." She's making this hard on purpose!

“really?” that’s skepticism she’s slurring, not sympathy. he’s got to earn that much from her, and solidarity among orphans only goes so far. pity party mode: she smears some stickiness against her glass of coke, syrup and condensation stuck to her fingertips. it’s easy to feel bad about herself in a waffle house, someone else may as well feel bad with her. “how’d they die?”

[fakedsciences-a]

"Lung cancer, just a few years ago. One went, and the other followed, just like that." He shrugs fully, seemingly unaware of his own broadness, of the way people have to duck and shimmy around him.

Joe Levy is one of those people who thinks he can relate to people like Mara. He wouldn't say aloud how confident he is in this fact, but it's pretty damn fucking confident. Still, he feigns humility.

"It's hardly an exciting story. Unless you're really, really one of those morbid folks."

[natophonetic-deactivated2023091]

She kept it. She uses it.

"I know. I'm a bit daft. I like you though." He makes a karate chop. "You got good sense and you're good. Good not great though. They'll lock you up waving that about in 'ere."

[fakedsciences-a]

As soon as she looks away, she regrets it. She's scanning their surroundings for security officers or actual police officers, but all she really wants to do is look at him. The knife falters, then is folded back into her purse.

"That's real vague, isn't it? Good?" Cass and JM would never call her good.

[natophonetic-deactivated2023091]

"Right." He scratches his jaw. Then he picks up his club again with a gravitas. It's short, designed for children and lime green.

"You're good, too."

[fakedsciences-a]

Her club is bright red. They look like Christmas (a holiday that she still doesn't know how to feel about).

"I'm alright." She's fucking exceptional at this game for young children and miscreants on mushrooms. And thank god, because she is violently, cruelly competitive.

"Should I adjust your form for you? Real romantic-like and such?"

[alulars]

Johnson's eyes match the dilation of Mackenzie's, wide and reflective, a fake facsimile of feeling meant to engulf hers. He measures her reaction not by external observation but methodical displacement: he submerges what he assesses of her within the radiant volume of his own condensed self, the density and force of her presumed and subsumed emotion is great; is intrigue; it rises—overflows, excites, stimulates—his own emotional baseline. Captivated and captive. When he notices the garishly pink bottle of pepper spray, his eyes remain tauntingly wide before shrinking into something more attentive when Mackenzie speaks.

Johnson's eyebrows raise high; appraising, then approving of Mackenzie and her cold smile and stare. He concedes, interested in what can follow, but his behavior suggests nothing: his body does not move; he lingers close to her in the shared, half-enclosed space of the front doorway.

Then, Johnson leans over and his arm stretches past Mackenzie once more, his forearm grazing her clothed torso. His will extends—briefly expels out of him—as easy as breathing: the doorknob turns in time with his hand though there is no contact (but in fact, openly, demonstrably, several inches of distance between his hand and the round, brass knob polished by permanent, endless use). The lock clicks, the door opens slowly and weightlessly, directionally confined to its hinges. "Enter, if..." Johnson peers into her apartment, his gaze dragging heavy like a smear over her place's insides: it's small (he notes the three-pronged coat rack in the entrance hallway, the three different sized pairs of shoes left on a small carpet by the front door:) and co-habitated. He recognizes without full comprehension that these two immediate facts irk him. This incomprehension irks him even more. He does nothing to quell the building feeling and lets it leak into his tone (his head pivots to face her, even while leaning he must look down to see her): "...this is home to you."

[fakedsciences-a]

It reminds her of home but it also doesn't. This happens frequently — all her earliest, most core memories took place somewhere fascinating and strange. They stick out and stick to her like adhesive. But there is so much more to the world, to life, than her initial experience of it. And so Johnson looks like Idris and he does not look like Idris. Mackenzie thinks of her father often, as Johnson must think of his.

She knows the eyes are important. They reveal a lot. And they're not entirely difficult to gouge. But she also studies his arms, his posture, the movements he telegraphs — or, rather, how little he reveals at all. She watches him turn the knob, and her brain is so used to how things work — how action requires equal and opposite reaction — that at first she doesn't notice the distance between metal and skin. She blinks, but the distance remains.

Mackenzie finds herself only as bewildered as a girl who grew up listening to people speak in tongues can be. She finds that even though there is a god she tried to kill, miracles are not entirely impossible or even particularly dangerous. Some miracles are like flies. She grew quite adept at swatting.

The apartment has been decorated, mostly, by Cassandra. It is modern, not not untidy, whatever that actually means. Plants here and there, well taken care of by J.M. Dishes in the sink, but not too many.

"Did you just command me to enter my own house?" She doesn't sound upset. She is humoring this, because: "You know, whatever you're selling, mister, I've probably already heard it all, and I am de-fin-ite-ly not interested."

[natophonetic-deactivated2023091]

@fakedsciences asked:

SNAP: for one muse to yell at or push the other out of frustration

"Yes! You! You are the fancy!" She's pointing the knife he gave her back at him. "I fancy you!"

[fakedsciences-a]

"You don't know what you're talking about! This ain't how talking to girls who're holding weapons is supposed to go."

"Well, I don't care. I think you're doing a real great job, and that's got to count for something, right?

@bluedprints // caleb said: it’s been a long week and I don’t want to think.

"Are you sure you have that luxury anymore?" (Whether he does or not, she fears his mind is made up.)

Maryanne is gentle but imploring, kind but firm. She worries about her mother at home but knows that she worries too much. She will stick out with Caleb whatever this is — for his sake, yes, but mostly for Yesenia's.

"What was wrong with this week, anyways?"
