parkerxdarren:

He watched her reaction closely; the grip, the expression, and oh, jackpot. Darren smiled at her, even though the sentence send his way was sharp. “Judging from the fact I did get punched in the face, I think you know,” he said warmly, relaxing slightly. The whispers in his head purred almost happily, and he raised his beer to her a little. “The Sixth Sense kind of screamer.”

     the sixth sense kind. it was not an explanation she’d been offered before but in a peculiar way it fit. wary gaze flickers over the male, eyeing him uncertainly. he wasn’t what she’d expected in a kindred spirit, another of her kind. but he was the first she’d met. “you’re one too ??”

jade-vashi:

Jade laughed. “Of course I do that’s why I asked. Do you have any dietary preferences? I tend to stick to alot of vegetarian cuisine, but I also eat meat.”

    “not at all.” rose shakes her head, smiling softly. frankly, she looked at any opportunity to try new experiences - food included - as something she ought to latch on to. even if the thought ultimately terrified her. “vegetarian is fine by me.”

jasonfumero:

it doesn’t go unnoticed that her smile doesn’t seem very genuine, but jason figures it’s not exactly his place to mention that considering they don’t know each other. “right.” he nods once. “i mean, i ─ i wouldn’t know. not really. but i’m guessing.” pressing his lips together, the werewolf clears his throat. “anyway. you can borrow the phone again later if you wanna give it another shot.”

     the question escapes her before she can prevent it, accompanied by a confused frown. “you wouldn’t know ??” her years in the institution had taught her to question everything around her but in this case - in increasingly more frequent cases - she was learning the same rules did not apply here. some things were not her place to ask. “thanks, i appreciate that.” she says hurriedly. “but i think one attempt was enough for a while.”

jade-vashi:

“Jade.” she said returning the gesture. “Actually are you busy right now? I need a favor. My lunch date bailed and I don’t like eating alone. You don’t have to of course. It’s up to you.” Jade hoped she would come. It was true she didn’t like eating alone, but she did it away. Jade was more concerned about leaving the girl alone in her thoughts.

    surprise alights her features but for once it’s not an unpleasant feeling. “you...you want to have lunch with me ??” she reiterates the question, brows furrowing. a slow smile spreads across dusky pink lips. “if you’re sure, i don’t want to impose.”

yllyrxpenhallow:

    SITTING IN THE CHAIR, LYRA THREW THE BOOK SHE HAD BEEN READING to the side, not caring where it landed. hurrying up from her chair, she crossed to the door frame, quickly catching rose in her arms. “rose? hey, what’s wrong, rose wake up!”

      the blinding pain in her head draws her back, though it’s the panicked voice that sends golden lashed lids fluttering open. “lyra ??” she murmurs softly, blinking through blurred vision. “it’s so loud...it won’t stop-” 

[fculkners]

parkerxdarren:

“Nah, it’s all okay, pal,” Darren said as he smiled at her friendly, shaking his head a little. “It’s nice to found out something new, yup? Learning is a good thing.” He was looking at her with interest, before adding. “Okay, I’m gonna bite a bullet here - are you a screamer?” He could take eventual punch in face if his question was directed to the wrong person, but it wasn’t like he could just say heeey, are you hearing dead people too? (He was almost 99% sure that kid from The Sixth Sense was a banshee.)

     the question is bold; one that catches her off guard. baby blues widen and she shuffles back, white-knuckled grip on the counter the only thing that stops her from falling off her chair. “what are you-” she says sharply, glancing around quickly before her voice lowers. “what do you mean ??” though he could simply be being strange, perverse even ( she doesn’t know him !! ) she is fairly certain she already knows the answer.

brvnas:

“if you’d managed this long without any sort of contact from him, i think you’ll be better off,” the words were harsh, so bruna could only hope that her soft voice helped with the delivery. honestly, she felt like she was in the exact same situation – with the wolf, trying to contact her father, with radio silence on the other end. she could only say so much; the blonde was already tearing up, and the woman was afraid she will make things worse by continuing. “— amongst the other things, yeah. he did. he wanted out mainly because i was born, but after he learned that both my mother and i aren’t exactly as human as he was… he just decided to up and leave,” at least that’s what marisol kept telling her, anyway. she couldn’t fully trust her statement, but she figured that it was better not to dig any deeper into this. “bruna,” she introduces herself, and after a short hesitation, extends her own hand for the other to shake, as well. “what exactly are you thankful for? i hardly doubt i’ve done something that great.”

       the laugh that escapes her lips is tinged with a bitterness, has she managed ?? only because of those that helped her get out. if it were up to her father she would still be under the influence of a cocktail of tranquilizers and sleeping behind a locked door. yet she still craves his affection, still craves the sudden realization to dawn on him that he is wrong. that she is not a monster, not a freak, not something demonic. that she is just rose. despite the voices in her head. “yeah. maybe.” the blonde concedes, though as much as she wishes her words were true there is still an element of lingering hope inside her. “mine couldn’t leave.” she shrugs. “so he had to find a way to make me go.” it feels strange to admit this aloud, even stranger to do so with a stranger. but the woman - bruna’s - honesty is refreshing. she is used to being wrapped in cotton wool by those who were kind enough to help her; yet the wolf does not pull punches with her words. “for meeting you. and for the talk.” rose adds, hand clasping the other woman’s.

       “i need- i need your-” fingers cling to the door-frame, knuckles white with the pressure. she sways uneasily on her feet, face ashen. “help.” rose murmurs, falling forward as the last words leave her lips, succumbing to a sudden darkness behind her eyes.

parkerxdarren:

          “Earworm. It sounds… Terrific,” Darren laughed quietly, shaking his head without tearing his eyes away from her. He continued to smile to her, listening. The little gesture of nerves spikes his interest. “I don’t think so,” banshee answered, turning to her more. “But maybe we have mutual friends… Somewhere.”

     “it’s a horrible saying really-” she chides herself, sheepish expression crossing her features. her nerves at conversing with the stranger are fairly standard, she is uneasy in the company of most that she doesn’t know. but this particular man has a familiarity to him that is in someways even more concerning. “sorry i shouldn’t have said anything.” she adds hurriedly, ducking her gaze.

lilianward:

        lilian fell silent for several moments, carefully considering the younger woman before letting a sigh slip past her lips as she shook her head. “i honestly appreciate the offer, ma biche, but at least for now i’d like to keep you as far from this particular ghost as possible. i’m sure i can survive without his advice, at least for a while.”

     she concedes, not wanting to push the subject. whoever this ghost is clearly weighs quite heavily upon the warlock. “then maybe i can help in another way-” the blonde suggests, wrinkling her brow. “what did you need from him ??”

[fculkners]

jade-vashi:

Jade frowned. “You seem pretty normal to me and you can trust me on that. I’ve seen somethings. Like my Gran’s feet. I swear they are not natural.” She wanted to cheer the girl up.

     she lets out a burst of surprised laughter despite her mood; the comparison drawn is just too disturbing not to be amused. “thanks-” rose nods, grateful smile lining her lips. “he doesn’t see it that way. but at least some people do. i’m rose by the way.” she adds, offering a hand to shake.
