hey guys :/
as you mightve noticed i've been gone far longer than expected. what was a few days turned into a monthish??? much more than what i had originally asked for to begin with. first of all i dont wanna point fingers and say this group scared me bc thats the farthest from the truth. yall have been so loving since day one. i have come here after the longest hiatus ive ever been in and been having a rough time with that ig and my writing included. i dont wanna leave but i also know it wouldn't be fair to let me slip in here. i guess i flew way too close to the sun, sort of burned myself out if i could use that metaphor. i went ahead and joined a big group when i maybe wasnt ready. that of im self sabotaging myself which ive done before too. and i love writing. i love it so much but truthfully i havent been able to do it much of it these past days. i hate this feeling more than anything guys. i dont wanna let go of my lovable goof but if i stay id be hogging him. for now id have to step back and get myself in order??? mostly get my mojo back in a way. maybe later on i can comeback hopefully as him again but for now i'll see you guys :/
a girlās number scribbled on her left hand, her helmet hoisted up on a light fixture somewhere, and a bit of the punch already spilled on the edge of her shirt ā¦ beatrix was having a goodĀ night. stopping to take a breath in, she ran her hand through her hair and set her sights on the machines.Ā
ā it is a casino ā¦ā she thought aloud.Ā ābut, like ā¦ iām good with the casino aesthetic. not the potential-to-lose-all-your-life-savings thing,ā she gestured her hand around.Ā ā still. snake eyes knows how to throw a party. that sweet drink thing?ā beatrix did a chefās kiss motion.Ā
āand in the spirit of gambling ā¦ i bet ā¦ that guy over there ā ā she pointed at a man in a viking costume seated at the bar, wavering a little with a glass in his hand,Ā āis going to fall off the chair in less than a minute. you on?ā she smirked, turning to them.
Johnny turned his head with a nod to the dressed up Pilot. Though he didnāt know them, at least, not yet.Ā āI mean the playing for fun is still like a thing too yāknow.ā He added, mostly on his part. He had been to casinos before and never had any ill will towards them.Ā
He pushed himself up to get a better look at the Viking across from them.Ā āI donāt know, Top Gun. I think heād take little more than that so sure. Youāre on!ā He agreed, glancing at the figure before them.Ā
thackery binx had spent three hundred years in the cursed form of a black cat. three full centuriesā worth of halloweens befurred and bewhiskered. one can only imagine his dismay upon realizing heād be spending this halloween as a black cat as well. fate is as funny as she is cruel,Ā heād thought miserably as he donned the cat-ear headband that evening. it was his own fault, though, really - everyone knows you plan costumes months in advance if you want a good one.Ā
the costume proved to be comfortable at the very least, which thackery was grateful for. although he did sort of hope ( stupidly, really ) that anyone that might have known him in his feline form would be kind enough not to acknowledge he was even wearing one. though he supposed that would be a bit odd, considering costumes were a requirement for the party itself but sometimes one could stand to endure an oddity or two for the sake of oneās dignity.
you would think that for someone who didnāt like to let his guard down, thackery would be less inclined to lose himself in thought in an unfamiliar setting. alas, here he was - wandering a bit aimlessly about the casino and caught up in his own costume-related woesĀ thoughts. so caught up, in fact, that he very much wasnāt watching where he was going and accidentally almost collided with someone head-on.Ā
āiām terribly sorry,ā thackery all but yelped - his attention quickly snapping back to the situation at hand.Ā āi wasnāt paying attention. youāre not hurt, are you?ā
Too caught up with the environment, Johnny hardly was paying any attention to his surroundings. That and the treats he scored from the snack table. Thankfully he just stumbled back a bit and not fall flat on his face for once. He was a natural klutz. āNo, no. Youāre good, see!ā He took a step back, extending both his arms to show there wasnāt any damage done.Ā āThough I didnāt get your tail, did I?ā He looked around jokingly before erupting in a chuckle.Ā āGet it because youāre a cat.āĀ
just seeing orion earlier, in the distance acting as the gracious host, brought the most uncomfortable feeling. seeing his face again after so long ā¦ it was like someone had poured ice water down her back. even remembering itĀ just now ā¦ she hurried away to the farthest corner to calm herself before she next spotted him ā or worse, if he spotted her. she had to be ready.Ā chest heaving from breathing so quickly, she found a couch against a wall and sat down.
since her visions had failed her, almost like a complete mental block, sheād sworn to herself that sheād keep an eye on orion. there was dread in her stomach, and it hadnāt left since she last spoke with jasper.Ā
noticing her hair caught in one of the stars on her headband, she sighed as she tried to untangle it. nevertheless, she started scanning the crowd again, preparing to keep watch once more.
ā orion bartholomewĀ Ā ā¦Ā ā she muttered like a warning, an unusual hint of anger in her tone. still trying to untangle her hair, a worried crease appearing between her brows. feeling a presence nearby, she took a chance:Ā ā iām sorry, could you help me with the, um, the stars?ā she gestured with a weak smile at her hair.
The mortal had always been fascinated with the spooky holiday. Though Johnny was easily frightened he still loved Halloween so much. Whether it was the costumes or the fact you could be whoever you wanted for one night just was ideal for him ever since he was a child.Ā
His eyes travelled every where since he walked through the door. He soon found himself by the bar and got himself a drink. He casually leaned an elbow on the counter, rocking his head to the music. He was truly in his element. Taking a few swigs of his beverage he was ready to leave his place from the bar to the dancefloor before being interrupted by a feminine voice. Johnnyās head turned towards the voice, confused for a second.Ā āOh, sure.ā He agreed, understanding the issue at hand or well her head. His fingers now were gently pushing the womanās hair back. Now that is was out of the way, he pulled the star out of what looked like a knot in her hair. He tried brushing the bit out to look somewhat neat.Ā āI think I got it!ā
johnny loughran ;; EVENT?? Ā Ā ā orionās halloween bashĀ
ā iĀ donāt even have any good skills. you know like nun chuckĀ skills, bow hunting skills, computer hacking skills. girls only want boyfriends who have great skills! āĀ Ā Ā
š ā Ā ā ā Ā ā āāāāāāāāāāāĀ Ā Ā barley Ā liked Ā toĀ Ā Ā think Ā he Ā was Ā a Ā connoisseur Ā of Ā music. Ā at Ā least, Ā he Ā liked Ā to Ā believed Ā his Ā taste Ā in Ā music Ā was Ā great. Ā scrolling Ā through Ā the Ā otherās Ā playlist, Ā barley Ā nodded Ā and Ā mumbled Ā to Ā himself Ā praise Ā for Ā the Ā work Ā before Ā him.Ā Ā Ā Ā āĀ Ā Ā oh, Ā dude Ā are Ā you Ā like Ā a Ā dj Ā ? Ā thatās Ā so Ā sick.Ā Ā Ā āĀ Ā Ā Ā he Ā smiled.Ā Ā Ā Ā āĀ Ā Ā yeah, Ā this Ā is Ā wicked. Ā these Ā kids Ā are Ā gonna Ā have Ā their Ā socks Ā knocked Ā off.Ā Ā Ā āĀ Ā Ā Ā he Ā added, Ā hands Ā doing Ā a Ā sort Ā of Ā blowing Ā away Ā motion Ā and Ā mouth Ā mimicking Ā that Ā of Ā an Ā explosion.Ā Ā Ā Ā āĀ Ā Ā what Ā do Ā kids Ā even Ā listen Ā to Ā now Ā a Ā days Ā ? Ā i Ā donāt Ā think Ā iāve Ā been Ā around Ā someone Ā under Ā the Ā age Ā of Ā like Ā ā¦ Ā 19 Ā in Ā a Ā long Ā time. Ā the Ā vibes Ā are Ā great, Ā though. Ā real Ā nice Ā work Ā here.Ā Ā Ā ā
The hint of a smile that snuck through the corners of his lips. Jonathan DID IT. He created the best music mix for the event. To say he was a bit proud of himself would be an understatement. Although the job seemed easy he still took everything seriously. He was committed to cater to his client.Ā His hand closed into a fist, pulling towards himself in a self satisfied fist pump. ā Sweet!" Jonathan chimed in, shrugging his shoulders as if showing ease. "āand you know it. Been a Bar Mitzvah Dj since '07 so it's pretty wired in me by now."
Belle gave him a knowing look as she laughed. āItās all right, itās not the first book thatās been painful to get through. Sometimes I just donāt like the way they talk, or the choices they make ā Iām all for human error, but it looks like this time the author just had no idea what they were doing,ā she rolled her eyes with a smile.
She put aside her book for a while, dog-earing the page before closing it. She laid her chin on her hand as she thought. āBen. Tenth birthday, likes Just Dance,ā she nodded, reciting the facts for herself. āHow about ā¦ God, whatās something popular ā¦ā she thought aloud, āA Little Party Never Killed Nobody (Benās Version)? Like a play on (Taylorās Version)? Or is it bad to mention ākillā in a ten-year-oldās playlist? Or, oh! Mr Ben, Back At It Again?ā She cringed. āOh, all of that sounds terrible.ā
āOh.ā His voice prolonged at the end slowly lowering in realization. Johnny understood the feeling all too well from his preteen years reading comics. How frustrated he got reading about his superhero doing something so out of worldly for them. āYeah, I get that. Itās like it feels so out of character that it throws you off as a reader.ā He shrugged his shoulders in displeased agreement before leaning to give the stranger more room.Ā
Johnnyās brown eyes shifted from the woman to the screen semi-frequently. His own anxiety getting the most of him, he crossed his arms to somehow distract himself with his fingers fidgeting with his shirt sleeves. His eyes shifted back to her upon hearing her speak again. āMost ten year olds like shooting games so I mean you wouldnāt be far from it.ā Johnny paused to think for a moment before interrupting the stanger. āHey! No, no. Trust me! Iāve heard worse and most likely made worser names. But- hmm, how does aBENgers assemble sound?ā I heard this little dude is obsessed with superheroes.ā He mused with a big self-satisfied smile spreading on his lips.
āOh!ā Jarrah exclaims, almost spilling his drink with realization. āOh! Iām sorry! People donāt usually come to me with issues unless theyāre at their wits end.ā He says with a laugh as they leans in to look at the computer again. Well not before taking a bit of the gumbo. āOh it truly is, trust Iāve had good gumbo before and this has gone straight to the top.ā They say through a few bites. āNow whatās this for?ā
Jonathan pressed his lips together and nodded his head politely. He himself was familiar in experiencing the same feeling growing up.Ā No one truly relied on him growing up not even his own siblings.Ā āTrust me. I know the feeling.ā He agreed with a shrug. His gaze soon shifted down towards the strangerās bowl.Ā āIāll definitely take your word for it. Might get me a bowl myself too. Oh, itās just a playlist for some kidās party. Heās some ten year old kid or more so heād gonna be ten.āĀ
The sigh of relief that escaped Jonathanās mouth, he was grateful they agreed to help. He turned his laptop towards them to allow a much better view at his screen. His vision focused on just them for a couple of seconds trying to decipher what was running through their mind. Was it good? Was it bad? Johnny knew of the benefits from having a fresher perspective of things usually helped. His own suspense building up the more he eyed the stranger curiously. āThanks again. You donāt know how much itād help.āĀ
Ā His fingers lightly tapped onto the surface once more now picking up his cold drink sitting on the table. Johnnyās hand reached up to take an anxious sip at his tea. It was sweet against his tongue yet it brought some kind of comfort back to him. āSo, we got any thoughts? Orā ā His voice trailing off as if the waiting seemed like forever.

johnny is a freelancer rn he came back after a spontaneous trip and currently working a dj. he mostly works for kid birthday parties or school event bc johnny here is great with kids. that and his music taste impresses both their parents and the kids themselves.Ā
Ā after spending time away from elias he missed it tbh like he actually did it he found a home but ended up leaving it. he thought there was more to see and in a way ran from his feelings quite a bit. he knows for a fact hes looking for mavis trying to apologize for just up and leaving her especially after their connection . i mean she is was his zing. he hates the fact he let his own thoughts get in the way. hence why he got this urgency to come back bc yeaaaaaaaaaaah
past !!
johnny was a neglected kid growing up he dreamed of being seen and just accepted but with his family it was impossible. he was the 7th son to a family of 8. not only did he stand out as a sore thumb but constantly living in his siblings' shadow as well. that's the reason johnny wanted to go see the world maybe find a place where he could call homeĀ
thats when he stumbled upon hotel transylvania and met mavis and knows there was something about that day that just made him feel something for her and its what pushed him more to help her and run away with her.Ā
honestly though now he kinda hates himself for leaving mavis after everythingĀ
future !!
he got to travel the world, make music and experienced love in a way so he kinda did...Ā Ā
id like for him to finally find the family he hardly had, Ā one where its full of love and acceptance basically. whether itd be his own or just made up of friends.
taken connections
first zing - mavisĀ Ā
close friend - flynn
roommate - barley
wanted connections
best friend
old flame
will they, wonāt they
etcĀ pls anything
heres his bio/stats, heres a lil playlist that gets me into johnny mode
Jarrah had been stumbling his way around town, attempting to get land legs was taking longer than expected. They were attempting to map out the city when the delicious smell of classic gumbo flooded his sensations. He had no choice but to stop and grab a bite. That is how they found themselves seated at a table, scrolling though his phone as they waited on finally being able to taste the tantalizing smells drifting from the kitchen.Ā
āHuh?ā He said looking up to the question. They blinked a bit as they processed the question and action. āOh mate, Iām shit with computers. Probably break it more then what you have.ā He says with a small laugh.
"Well maybe Iāll just scoot it more to me but- I meant if what I was working on looked alright.ā He corrected the other, already feeling bothersome within the minute. The other came in most likely to enjoy a hot meal and there Jonathan was asking for assistance about a playlist.Ā Ā āThough that looks good what you got there.ā Johnny added as if trying to change the subject. He had finished his snack an hour ago and felt his stomach wanting something more filling.Ā
He stepped back and shook his head.Ā āNo, itās my bad. Iām just used to a different atmosphere. This city is just really new to me.ā The idea of just being out in the open without constantly looking over his shoulder was also new to him.Ā āYeah, thanks. Iām fine. Just distracted. I didnāt hurt you?ā
He himself knew more than anyone about being distracted. That entire time Johnny, himself, delaying from meeting up with an old friend himself. āNo, no I swear Iām good, man. See. Iām not hurt here.āĀ He lifted his hands up as if trying to demonstrate to the other that he was unscathed. Even though he didnāt know the stranger he just got the feeling they meant well.Ā āYou sure you alright? I so happen to have a yellow belt and sometimes I canāt control these big guys.ā Johnny teases, showing his hardly present muscle on his bicep.Ā
