⤹ ☆ featuring : ponyboy curtis & johnny cade.
he was still struggling to adapt to seeing johnny alive. the fact that his best friend in the entire world didn't remember him only made things worse for pony. he tried his best to grin and bear it. some days just happened to be more challenging than others. days where all he wanted to do was have a conversation with johnny like he used to were especially hard. thankfully , over the course of several years he'd managed to better familiarize himself with the technology of the current world , but he felt like he still had a long way to go. “ i'm not very good at video games , i won't lie. so as long as you don't make fun of me for sucking , we can play. ”
johnny found himself taking almost any excuse to spend time with ponyboy ; despite techincally only meeting fairly recently , something about the male felt so familar. it was like they had been friend's all along , like they didn't have to speak to communicate even. if he thought about it , he'd probably find it strange ; luckily , johnny didn't overthink their relationship. “ that's okay , ” he assured with a smile. “ we don't have to play video games. it was just an idea … i'm open to whatever you want to do , ” he assured. “ but , i have plenty of collaborative games , too. we don't have to compete. just … work together , y'know ? ” he offered. even if they did play against each other , johnny was likely to go easy anyways.

“hey, al.” sam greeted with a nod of his head. “i got a question for you.” he mused, settling into a seat near his friend. “i was thinking of doing a podcast on vampires. on telling people of their existence. i know i will probably come across as crazy but… i feel like i gotta warn people.” he admitted with a heavy sigh. “there's just something so wrong about this place, i feel like people have to know how to protect themselves.”
alan quick to give their friend their full attention , practically tossing their device aside to listen. if sam had a question , and it was her expertise ( especially about vampires ) , then this was important. they blinked , a bit confused at first. “ a podcast … ? ” their eyes narrowed. the concept was vaguely familar , but she hadn't utilizied such resources quite yet. they hummed in consideration. “ well … the masses do need to be educated , ” they mused with a nod. “ but you're sure you have what it takes to be the messenger , phoniex ? still not sure the frogs have passed on all our expertise just yet … ”

⤹ ☆ featuring : michael emerson & david williams.
he'd been spending more time with david lately , unable to resist the temptation to do so. his mind was conflicted , which wasn't out of the ordinary for michael especially as of late. david was one of the people he felt like he knew. if what sam , john logan and a few other people he'd met had been saying was true , then in michael's mind , it made sense that david was someone he'd somehow forgotten about , right along with sam. only , michael was hoping he could figure out the missing information on his own without having to ask directly. if he'd been wrong , david might've believe he'd lost his mind. he glanced around at his surroundings , taking them in. “ so this is where you live ? ”
david had been careful when it came to handling michael ; it was a balancing act , in practice. he showed how much he knew the male , understood him even , but feigning ignorance when necessary. in fact , he seemed to be succeeding in his efforts. michael seemed to accompany his quite frequently , much to the vampire's pleasure. however , in his cautious efforts , david's lodgings went unvisited until now. “ is it , ” he hummed as he threw his jacket on the nearest chair. the place was considerably confusing ; nothing matched , but any sentamentality seemed limited. there was little rhyme or reason , anything not purely functional seeming completely random instead. nevermind the blackout curtains , and any source of light was otherwise limited. “ is it not to your liking … ? ” he raised a brow. “ or are you simply commenting on my lack of lighting ? ”

⤹ ☆ featuring : atticus woodard & zephyr bell.
atticus was getting much better about being around other people after a couple of months of living in dc. he was far from fine , but he was managing better than he had before. baby steps. that was what he told himself. zephyr just happened to be one of the people he enjoyed spending time with the most. he felt ( mostly ) normal around him and genuinely happy most days. “ so , today i figured we could keep it casual. grab a bite to eat and maybe just come back here and hang out ? ” atticus half suggested , half questioned. “ does that sound okay to you ? or is there something else you'd prefer to do ? ”
zephyr was still getting used to being , well , social. he was finally getting out of the mindset that he was making more than allies ; he was making friends. he still had his moments , sure. he still acted like he had something to prove , even if no one was watching. around atticus , however , he found it easier than ever to shed some of his worse habits. “ casual is good , ” he assured with a smile. he didn't particular care what they did. he was just content to spend time with the male. “ your idea is more than okay , i promise , ” he assured. “ in fact ? now that you mention it , i'm starving , ” he claimed. “ maybe something quick ? easy ? ”
“ but i don't want to laugh at you , ” mike insisted. he'd rather laugh with will. laughing at him felt wrong. he was not going to do that. he shook his head at will's words , a soft laugh escaping his lips at the teasing words. “ i promise you , you don't look like a jerk , ” he assured , another laugh following his own statement. he found it difficult to imagine will could ever be perceived as a jerk. in mike's eyes , he was extremely kind and pleasant to be around. “ but , just for you ... i'll tell you i might laugh at you , ” he told him in jest. he , of course , had zero intentions of doing so , but was happy to tell will whatever he might've wanted to hear anyways. while it theoretically might've been possible for him to get through the movie without asking him about what el had said , mike didn't know if he wanted it weighing on him the entire time. he'd rather speak to will about it before anything else instead. mike's current predicament , was figuring out how to discuss everything el had said to him that day. he glanced down at his own hands , currently tapping nervously against his legs. mike forced himself to stop , folding his hands together in his lap. he glanced back up at will , swallowing thickly. “ she told me i'm from hawkins like the two of you , ” mike started. “ she also said that you and i were best friends ... closer than anyone , ” he carried on. mike paused , a shaky breath escaping his lips. he was nervous , but he knew he needed to carry on. “ she said that her and i used to date , too. then we went our separate ways. the only problem is that i don't remember any of that. even if i believe it. do i ... do i really not remember any of it ? remember you ? ”
“ yes i do , ” will laughed. the argument was so meaningless , simply a playful back and forth. otherwise , it would seem odd for will to be telling someone they should laugh at him. the banter was just a subtle attempt for will to try to get a glimpse of his best friend since childhood , even if the those years went apparently forgotten. will laughed even louder as mike claimed he might laugh. even in such a foolish argument , the artist seemed to prevail. “ okay. good. good , ” he nodded while unable to contain his grin. despite everything , the male in front of him was his mike. at first , he was scared the lost memories would hinder thier friendship , but they seemed to fall into rhythm in moments like this. he even looked forward to watching a movie , just like they used to. however , that idea was currently on pause. mike looked nervouse , will thought. he didn't know what mike was trying to talk about ; he had no idea what sort of conversation the male had with el. should he be scared ? did his sister say something she shouldn't have ? did he need to come up with some sort of lie to protect them both ? or improvise to support hers ? his mind was racing until finally mike spoke again. will was sure all color drained from his face as he listened. he was frozen , a deer caught in headlights. he never wanted to put pressure on mike , scare him or give him any reason to need distance. will simply wanted his best friend back and didn't care in what capacity. his lips parted , but his mouth went dry. he wasn't sure he could respond , even if he wanted to. he averted his gaze , his lips forming a tight line. he cleared his throat , making a rough and uncomfortable sound. he started to nervously pick at his skin , scratching hard enough to almost leave marks. “ that … that sounds like an interesting conversation , ” he forced himself to say something. “ el … she really gets to the point , doesn't she … ? ” he bit his cheek as he tried to look up. “ i don't know , mike. i … i don't know what you want me to say. what answer you want. ”

“i'm not stealing from a church, alan. i'm… not asking for that bad karma when shit has already hit the fan, thanks.” sam mused with a shake of his head. he blinked a few times as he listened to their words. “you should really get a job in giving pep talks. you're so good at this!” he huffed sarcastically, rolling his eyes. “it's him. i know my brother, even if he doesn't know me. it's michael. something's just… happened to his head. his memories. that's all. it's still him.” he shook his head, sighing. “i dunno what it is but we… we will find an answer, right?”
alan crinkled their nose. “ they practically give out the stuff for free … ” she argued. “ they claim to be charitable organizations , and what's a better cause than killing vamps … ? ” saying it aloud made it sound a little less right , but they didn't care. he crossed his arms , rolling his eyes at sam's sarcasm. “ my full time job is vamp hunting … and also the comic store , ” they hummed. only the latter actually pays the bills. “ okay. fine. he's still your brother. i guess … ” alan didn't want to totally rule out other possibilities , but they knew sam wouldn't be all that cooperative if they argued too much. they would've kept going with the theories , but catching the genuine concern in the other made them rethink their words. “ we're gonna find the answer , sammy boy , ” she nodded. “ me , you , and edgar. we can solve this mystery. no problem. ”
mike wasn't sure what he was hoping to accomplish by suggesting they watch a scary movie together. he could've come up with anything better than that. something he enjoyed a lot more. a scary movie was a terrible idea , really. however , he felt like he was unfortunately committed to watching it since will seemed to like scary movies. he knew they were all fake , that horror movies didn't actually happen in real life. he didn't find them any less unsettling , though. “ i wouldn't laugh at you , ” mike insisted , shaking his head. he didn't care if will wanted to laugh at him , he wouldn't be bothered by it. mike silently told himself he could get through one stupid horror movie. it wasn't the end of the world. he just needed to get out of his own head. he could sit through some horror movie about possession and still be fine. it wasn't like he believed in that sort of thing anyways. all he needed to do was turn off his own mind and just watch. he could do that. “ sure , no problem , ” mike said , giving will a slight smile. he looked away , his thumb hesitating over the play button. “ hey , will ... before we start ... i wanted to talk to you about something , ” mike told the male before looking at him again. “ recently i met this girl ... el. ” he paused , shifting where he was seated on the couch to turn towards will fully. “ she told me some things. things i believe , even if i don't remember them. can we talk about it ? ”
“ but you're allowed to , ” will promised. he never minded when mike laughed ; if anything , he'd liked when he was the reason for the male's amusement. plus , never felt like mike laughed at him , but rather with him. “ if you don't agree you might laugh at me , then i look like the jerk after saying i would laugh at you , ” he playfully teased. of course , will had no intention of genuinely making fun of the male , but he may poke a little fun. it was in good fun , and he trusted mike would know it wasn't with ill - intent ; even if he didn't remember they were childhood best friends and this sort of thing was normal for them. still , will found his own heart racing at the idea of grabbing each other's hands during the movie. his hand flex in anticipation at the thought , like he had to prepare himself. if only for a moment , he was so focused on trying to stay chill he almost didn't realize mike hadn't pressed play. he blinked , turning to the male. mike was full turned towards him , so he adjusted his position to do the same. “ el , yeah , “ he repeated with a smile , unable to help it at the mention of his sister. however , it took him a moment to realize just what el possibly could have said to mike , and suddenly he was nervous for a whole other reason than before. ” i , uh … sure , yeah , “ he shifted slightly. ” what … what did you guys talk about ? "
his eyes narrowed into a glare at the sight of him. “you… what the fuck?” sam questioned before he shook his head. he felt like maybe if he shook his head enough, the other might actually disappear. that it was just his imagination. “no. no… you shouldn't be here. you shouldn't be alive.” sam stepped back a few steps, wanting to put some distance between the two of them. “you were dead. dead dead, not vampire dead. what the fuck?”
david wasn't sure how he felt that michael's brother remembered him , but he found himself refusing to react all the same. he made no effort to follow as the younger male added distance ; if anything , he expected it. despite everything , however , he had no intention to be a current threat , even if he wasn't trying to be an ally either. “ should any of us be here ? ” he mused , sounding disinterested. he accepted his death , his presence here , his new beginning of sorts. he didn't care to actually speculate. “ well , guess my dramatic death wasn't all that final … the gaping hole in my best chest healed fairly well. ”
“not all of them. no, but i… i was given things.” eleven muttered. “given medicine when i was a child and it has made me scared.” she explained. it was putting it lightly, explaining it in a way that may hopefully make sense to the other. “i do not know what causes my head to hurt. only that it does. sometimes it doesn't. perhaps i am pushing myself too far.” wanting to regain her powers. to push them to awaken. was that too much to hope for? that she may still be able to defend herself? “it doesn't make sense. but i… live with it. it is all i can do.”
zephyr was silent , clearly trying to process what the other was saying. he didn't have a response. he wanted to be sympathetic , but the little voice in his head told him that was the weak , foolish part of him. still , he murmured a quick “ i'm sorry. “ he shifted , a bit uncomfortable , before trying to continue. ” pushing yourself too far , it can have consequences. “ he knew the feeling too well , refusing to take breaks or drink enough water. he used to even skip meals to train more. even trying to rest now was a little difficult for him. ” hey , maybe you'll figure it out , “ he tried to sound hopeful. “ the human body is weird , but … maybe if you change up your routine , you'll feel better ? like sleeping more , staying hydrated , so on … ? ”
he shook his head, offering a kind smile. “that's alright. i was just… you were gonna walk into someone but they noticed and moved.” peter explained as he gestured towards the other who had walked away. “oh? what is it you're listening to? i don't… think i've ever tried an audiobook.” he admitted. “do you find it… nicer? easier?” sure, he'd heard of them but he'd always preferred an actual book in his hands than having someone tell him the story.
as if in a panic , johnny swiftly turned in the direction the other pointed. he hadn't noticed them at all , and it would've been pretty embarrassing if they did collide. “ crisis averted , i guess , ” he mumbled before turning back to the male. “ you've never listened to an audiobook ? ” he arched a brow. “ i love them , actually , especially if the person is like … super good ? fitting ? relaxing ? ” he couldn't decide on a description. he laughed , a bit awkwardly. “ it's easier , for sure. i can do tedious stuff or whatever at the same time … but mainly i didn't so great in school to begin with , so this is a little easier to … catch up on the classics , i guess ? "
Star knit her eyebrows together as the other person approached. Something about them seemed a bit familiar, but she couldn't quite place where she had met them. She shrugged at the question, "I mean, I guess it's pretty warm out, yeah." Star raised her eyebrows at the person, looking them up and down, she lightly bit her lower lip, "What are you, a meteorologist or something?"
alan narrowed her eyes in response. the other didn't seem to have much of a reaction to the sunlight , but last they knew , the female was never full vampire. they didn't burn in the sun , but it should still bother her if the status remained. “ meteorologist , no , ” he answered. “ just … a fan of sunlight … of the day … ” they added. “ would you considering yourself a … day person too , or … ? ” he didn't care if the question seemed weird ; alan so rarely cared about how they came across. they only cared about hunting vampires , really.
“ my dad , ” pony confirmed. he missed his parents , missed his brothers. he missed everyone back in tulsa. he missed johnny , too , despite the fact that the guy was standing right in front of him. this version of his best friend didn't remember him. while pony thought that might've been for the best , it didn't make the pain any better. he smiled slightly at the sound of johnny's laugh. he missed that sound. it was a sound he never thought he'd be able to hear again. he knew that he and soda definitely had the most bizarre names back in tulsa. he also knew that they were even more strange now. pony laughed , shaking his head in disagreement. “ no way , ” he disagreed. “ johnny's a great name. who cares if a lot of people are named john ? you're named johnny , right ? wait. who's out here calling you jonathan ? ” his nose wrinkled slightly. jonathan ? he couldn't imagine anyone calling johnny cade jonathan. pony swallowed thickly , averting his gaze. apparently , johnny could forget it. he just didn't know. he exhaled slowly before looking back up at johnny. “ yeah , i get that a lot. ”
“ well , sounds like you have an interesting dad , ” johnny mused. he wouldn't speak about his own. he wouldn't speak about his family as a whole really , but he found himself curious about the other's. maybe it was simply the interesting names , but johnny thought the male seemed fond of his family based on only the briefest of mentions. he didn't seem to stray away from the topic , at least. johnny's smile widen at the sound of the other's laugh ; it was light the sound alone was able to erase his burdens , even just for a second. “ johnny is a basic name , ” he insisted. “ with so many johnnys , it's hardly a standout name. not even my name is special , ” he claimed with a shrug. he wasn't bothered by his ~~ordinary~~ nature. he found no reason to draw attention to himself anyways. “ oh , just some randos. most recently happened at the academy. there's a few johnnys in our cadet class , so … i think they were just trying to differentiate us , ” he explained. he blinked , a guilt washing over him at the male's reaction. had he said something wrong ? “ sorry , did i … is that … bad ? to call you memorable ? i meant it in the best way possible , i swear. ”
edgar wouldn't ever forget david's face , or anyone else's face from that night at the emerson house. unfortunately , it lived in his mind regularly. “ ‘ you ’ ? is that all you have to say for yourself ? ” he asked in disbelief , a scoff of disappointment following. the male's demeanor only succeeded in frustrating edgar even further. he didn't ever want to see david again , but to come across him acting so arrogantly ? it was incredibly annoying. edgar narrowed his gaze at david , arms folding across his chest. he didn't find this particular display all that amusing , though he was sure david was rather pleased with himself. “ do you think i'm stupid enough to believe that you'd actually share vampire weaknesses with me ? i'm not. you're not all that funny , either. ”
david shrugged , nonchalant , at the question. there wasn't much he could say. he had no intention to defend himself , especially to this individual in particular. the male entered their home and staked one of his brothers , after all. david would even argue that is what spurred the horrific night at the emerson household and his subsiquent demise. who should really hate the other more ? “ if you weren't going to believe anything i said , why did you ask the question in the first place ? ” he retorted. he rolled his eyes , unable to believe someone so stupid could play a part of his downfall. “ but , yes , i do think you're stupid , if you must know … but , no , i didn't expect you to believe me. “ he admitted. ” you are stupid enough to ask a stupid question and not expect a stupid answer … ”
it might've been a little unfair to target his frustrations onto david , but the male had been incredibly annoying the night they'd first met , and michael had been stuck with the guy on his mind ever since. he had enough to think about , he didn't need to add to the list. “ i figured we could skip the pleasantries. ” he didn't know why he related the other people who'd approached him to david , but it just made sense in his head. his intuition had proven to be correct , too. “ so they got to you , too , ” he said , nodding. he didn't know what to do with that information , but he found it somewhat beneficial. at least he wasn't the only one being pestered by people talking about vampires. “ aggressive is one way to put it. they're so ... annoying. i don't know how to make them understand that vampires aren't real. i mean ... come on. ”
david let out a near inaudible laugh. “ regrettably , ” he said , blowing out a breath. it was rather annoying the people he may say he liked most didn't remember him , while those who disliked him somehow did. however , he was choosing to make the most of the situation. maybe this time he could take a different approach , find better success ; that is , if no one else managed to get in his way. michael seemingly being ' bothered ‘ by his former allies may prove useful. david cocked his head slightly , clearly contemplating his response. was it mistake to not inform the male of vampires in the first place ? allowing him to warm up to the idea ? clearly , he seemed rather skeptical , but keeping up the belief that vampires were mere folklore did help them thrive for so long. “ people tend to be stubborn in their beliefs , ” he mused after a moment. “ even if those beliefs are vampires. not sure what to say about their claims this place is crawling with them , ” he seemed to jest , smirk growing. “ maybe there’s more than meets the eye ? ”
