“Oh, I’d expect at least a movie franchise about it.  Or knowing humans, more likely a franchise about the pathetic humans trying to take it down,” Ace said with a snort. 

“It’s more comfortable if your master wants into to be.  The sex is better, though that might be individual.”

Jasper nodded along. He wasn’t quite as jaded as Ace---perhaps because Jasper had been raised a human and still more or less felt like one, or at least as much of one as he ever had---but he didn’t disagree. Not entirely, anyway. 

“Oh. Ah, I guess that makes sense,” he said. There was only one person on this island he really had any interest in having sex with. The problem was he doubted she really felt the same way he did. “Your master treat you okay? I heard some of them are alright. Met a few that seem decent. But I dunno. It’s kinda hard to trust anyone who benefits from this system, you know?”

Margeaux smiled softly at him and nodded. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Jasper,” she said.Her blue eyes continued to search him, curious about him now.

“I’m Margeaux,” she said. “One of the professors here.”

“Thank you, Mistress Margeaux. That’s very kind of you to say.” He ducked his head in an almost bow-like gesture. He wanted to punch himself in the face. Instead, he said, “Is there anything I could do for you, ma’am? I’m here to serve.”

andi-sawyer‌:

Andi could still remember what he had been like in the library the day she had run into him, literally. He had been making jokes, he had been nice but not submissive like a robot like this. He had seem hurt when she ran into him. He had seemed like a real person. Seeing him like this scared her a little, but she knew she had to protect him by keeping him close. 

He relaxed when she asked him to go get her a drink and Andi felt a little better to know that he wasn’t upset, even in this weird state. She smiled back, or at least tried to though it felt a bit fake to her. 

“Thanks, Jasper. That would be great.” 

At his question she shrugged. “Um… a beer. And surprise me. I’m not picky and I’ll be happy with anything you bring back.” 

“A surprise beer,” Jasper repeated to himself with a small nod. “Got it. I’ll be right back, Mistress.”

He smiled a hollow, vacant smile at Andi, then walked off to get her a drink and he returned not long after. He offered her the frosted glass. “It’s a pumpkin ale,” he said. “I thought you might like it, because it’s sort of festive.” 

His face fell into a frown, worry that he’d been too bold in thinking he could choose for her when he was only meant to serve making his guts roil. “But I can go back and get your something else if you prefer, Mistress.”

[leugaroul]

andi-sawyer‌:

“Yeah, and really I didn’t mean to drop all of those books on you. I didn’t see you.” The she wolf explained with a small and nervous smile. She didn’t want him to think she had done that on purpose. Who would even do something like that on purpose? 

Andi wasn’t above helping at all, it was her fault after all and she was the one who had not looked and ran into him. It was the least she could do since he was helping her. “Thanks for helping.” Andi threw him a smile as she tucked her hair behind her ear. 

“You’re a biology major? Or, a medical student I mean?” Andi asked with a slightly excited smile growing on her lips. “Hey, maybe you could help me sometime or tutor me or something? That is if my plan to murder you instead of the class doesn’t pan out.” She teased him. 

Jasper gave her a more genuine smile this time. She seemed pretty alright, at least so far. For the most part, people here seemed to be either obviously horrible or basically decent, without a lot of subterfuge. Probably because when you had bound and chained slaves at your disposal there wasn’t a lot of point in pretending not to be a vicious piece of shit. 

But that didn’t mean he was prepared to throw caution to the wind.

“Oh, no problem,” he said. 

He straightened up and shoved his hands into his pockets. “Uh, yeah. Second year med.” He shrugged at her request, sure there must have been a whole crew of more qualified people, but whatever really. “Sure. I mean, if you want. I’m not exactly a savant or anything, but, uh, I guess I could help if it’s with simple stuff.”

To Rouse the Devil - Uriel/Jasper

[leugaroul]

urielscorruption‌:

Uriel stayed still as the debris finished falling, those pieces that dared try to settle upon him flaring into golden pinpoints of light scant centimeters from his skin.  His wings flared wide in a move not unlike a stretch, shaking the kinks out of the muscles before folding in to rest against his back once more.  As he stepped forward the golden spear in his hands shrank until a foot long rod remained to be tucked behind his belt.  “Worry not child,” Uriel said as he turned his glowing eyes upon the speaker.  “I haven’t come to stand in judgement of you.  Not this day.  Though it appears I have arrived in time for a party.”

“Oh thank fuck. Because I would not stand up to scrutiny.” Jasper sagged back a step, torn between nervous chatter and the desire to never speak again. So far, and against his better judgement, talking shit had won, probably, he decided, because he was still so relieved to be properly in control of the words coming out of his mouth that he couldn’t shut himself up.

“Uh, yeah. That would be the Halloween party. On account of how it’s Halloween.” He scratched at the back of his neck, then hid his hand away in his pocket again. “It’s well underway by now. I was going for a fashionably late entrance, but I see now that careful timing alone isn’t enough to make a splash.”

He offered the master a true shit-eating grin. If he was gonna spew bullshit, he might as well look happy while he did it. That real reason he was late was because he hadn’t wanted to come at all, but had made a last minute decision to put on a “costume” and find something to do other than sit and think, wasn’t something he planned to share.

Libraries/Dead Silence | Dhani & Jasper

[leugaroul]

dhanilyman‌:

“Yeah, it is. I mean, that’s where Ethics is, in the 100s. You get used to it, the system. Back this way…” Dhani waved Jasper to follow him back to the other side of the stacks, a number of shelves down, hoping this was more of what Jasper wanted. “History of philosophy?” Dhani questioned pointing to the row of 109.s.

Jasper nodded along as he followed Dhani through the walls of books. 

“Yeah, ah, that sounds about right,” Jasper said. He glanced at the spines, trying to work out if any of them actually were what he was after. “Is there anything in here on Hippocrates and the Hippocratic Corpus? I’m thinking more specifically about maybe some translations and commentary on Epidemics I and the Oath itself?”

A mischievous smirk tugged at his lips. “Or, better yet, is there a video game adaptation I can play through? They did one of Inferno and that was a wild ride. Though I’m reliably informed by the internet that it’s complete horseshit.”

Text: I know you have no reason to believe me whatsoever, but I swear on my tarantula that it was just the spell.  I’ve been on the receiving end, the idea that I was the one giving it absolutely horrifies me.  An apology feels so … small, but I truly am sorry.

Unsent: [ ✉ ↠ very scary. avoid at all costs. ] i’m sorry. i understand it wasn’t really you doing those things, but at the same time, it was you. or at least a part of you. and i really don’t feel comfortable with that. or you. so maybe don’t talk to me for a while, okay? i just want to be left alone.

[ ✉ ↠ very scary. avoid at all costs. ] i guess this place is pretty fucked up.

[ ✉ ↠ very scary. avoid at all costs. ] we were both brainwashed. we both said and did some things.

[ ✉ ↠ very scary. avoid at all costs. ] honestly i’d just rather forget about it, if it’s all the same to you.

quinten-sawyer‌:

Quinten noticed the shy, weak smile as they first greeted each other before they headed into his office. He just figured that it was a good place to talk to get to know about each other a little.

Quinten took a seat at his desk, smiling softly as Jasper looked around to see what he had on his shelves, what it might reveal about him. He knew that he could come on a little strong. Being at this location, it was hard to trust anyone- and the longer he had been here, the more he realized his kindness could be interpreted as being a trick. He would just have to be patient and show others that he was okay. He figured that if he knew Qhuinn, it wouldn’t take too long for him to realize he was a good person as well.

“I just wanted to get to know you a little better. What kind of experience you were looking for. Is there a field that you are very interested in?”

Jasper perched on the edge of a chair and he rubbed his hands over his thighs while he continued surveying the office. When Quinten started speaking again, Jasper shuffled further back in his seat.

“Ah, well, I don’t have much experience. Practically, anyway. I mean I’ve got my first aid and stuff, but everything else is just theory at this point. I’m pretty good with it, though, I think.”

He scooted forward and sat on his hands. “But, well, like I said: not much practical experience. That’s, uh, kinda what I was hoping to get, actually. Some hands-on stuff.”

[ ✉ → Jasper ] Well, I know you do not seem to like the library, but if you need somewhere quiet my door is always open. You do not need to require odd texts for it to be welcoming to you.

[ ✉ → Jasper ] I wanted to talk to you about why I pulled you aside at the Luncheon but if you’d rather we just kept ignoring it, as you wish.

@leugaroul from here

[ ✉ ↠ mr rrroll up the rrrim ] thanks. that’s nice of you.

[ ✉ ↠ mr rrroll up the rrrim ] i’m doing fine, but if you want to talk, we can. maybe somewhere other than the library? that place gives me the willies.

“At the UN?  If we were secretly running that, it would get a hell of a lot more done,” Ace said with a snort.  “Look for something that works a little too well and we’re probably involved.”  He stopped and considered for a moment.  “Well, maybe some of us might be be making it not work well, but not running it.”

“Can’t argue with that logic.  If I could be lazy and well cared for all day, I would be.  I’m Ace.”

Jasper tilted his head from side to side, then shrugged in agreement. “Yeah, that checks out. I think a secret cabal of poorly organized supernaturals would make for a better story, though. You know, like that’s the kind of weird mocumentary I could really get behind.”

He took a hand out of his pocket and wiped it off on the leg of his jeans, then held it out to Ace. “Nice to meet you.” 

Jasper sucked his lower lip into his mouth. “So, ah, is it any better? Being claimed?”

[ ✉ → Jasper ] Forgive me for not checking in earlier I am aware it is not my place but after the events of last week. Well.. I wished to inquire about your well being. [ ✉ → Jasper ] I am not at this good blasted messaging please come to the library at your convenience.

[ ✉ ↠ mr rrroll up the rrrim ] well you seem to be doing alright with this blasted messaging. but if you want, we could try semaphore next time.

[ ✉ ↠ mr rrroll up the rrrim ] i’m fine, man. no need to worry about me.

[ ✉ ↠ mr rrroll up the rrrim ] thanks, though. nice of you to ask.

Wandering II Ciaran&Jasper

[leugaroul]

professorxwolf‌:

Ciaran wasn’t really used to talking about himself. Hell he wasn’t used to taking much period. Spending most of his life as a loner pub owner, he was much more used to nodding with a pretty smile as others spilled their troubles to him. So having someone seemed to hang on his words the way that Jasper was..it made him a bit nervous. 

The other wolf finally spoke too, and he smiled a bit to see that they had something in common. A shitty something, but something all the same. “Aye..same here. I’m just waitin’ to fuck somethin’ up somehow with Atticus but..so far so good. He’s young, inexperienced too. I think that helps, we’re learnin’ together, ya know?”

Ciaran looked out over the ocean, the breeze ruffling his dark hair. “Aye..it does have that feelin’. I think they do that on purpose” he smirked ruefully, then gave a genuine grin. “Harley, of course. There ain’t no better kind”

“Harley, huh?” Jasper said. He could have responded to what Ciaran had said before, about relationships and learning---should have, really, if Jasper had wanted to be polite---but talking nonsense about motorcycles was a lot easier; for him, at least, there weren’t any emotions involved. It was exactly what he craved---a distraction.

The trouble was, he spent too much time in his own head. Too much time with his own thoughts. Having to rehash them with words was like a goddamn nightmare.

“Isn’t that a little American? Shouldn’t you be on, like, a Triumph? Or is that one of those anything-but-a-British-model type of situations on account of how you’re Irish an all?” He asked the question with a petulant smirk, knowing full well he was being a shit. But being a shit just so happened to be one of the best distraction he could muster.

[leugaroul]

southernxwolf‌:

“Absolutely. Pretty sure my best friend would stop talking to me if I didn’t make pies” she laughed, shuddering playfully at the thought. Knowing Jason and his love for pies though, it probably wasn’t too far from the truth. 

Qhuinn watched his expressive face carefully as she better explained herself, glad that he seemed much happier now. She knew that she was going to really enjoy having him around, and really just wanted him to be happy and comfortable there. 

Jasper took her hand then and she smiled tenderly, giving his fingers a soft squeeze. “Good..I’m glad. I want this to be a place where you can feel comfortable to learn and grow. So…now does now sound?” Qhuinn grinned. “C’mon, I’ll show you around”

“Well, whoever your best friend is clearly known what they’re about. Apple pie is amazing.”

Jasper laced his fingers through Qhuinn’s and a faint blush dusted his cheeks. He swallowed. “Ah, yeah? I mean, good. Now sounds good.” 

He smiled and looked around the clinic, eager to learn more about the place and start spending his time here. It would be useful for his education, like he’d said, but also gave him somewhere other than his cell to spend his time---somewhere he’d have things to do to distract himself from the thoughts that followed him around. And it would give him a chance to help people which, while he didn’t like to admit it, was something he was pleased about.

[leugaroul]

southernxwolf‌:

His emotions didn’t seem to match his actions. While Jasper kissed her with an equal hunger and pawed just as desperately at her clothing, there was almost a hesitation to what he seemed to be feeling. And apparently she was with it enough to care. 

Qhuinn moaned at the feel of his hands and lips on her skin, her own finally finished with his jeans, leaving a very enticing opening that was just wide enough for one of her hands to slip in there quite nicely. She hesitate though, because once she got a feel for him, she wasn’t sure that she could stop. And taking advantage of a friend was no on her to-do list.

“Jas…” she gasped, tangling her fingers in his hair, holding his head to her. “Are you sure…?”

Jasper titled his head back just enough to search Qhuinn’s face. Was he sure? Fuck no he wasn’t sure. But he wanted this and so did she and after it all went wrong they could just blame it on this freak island and pretend it had never happened and that would be fine just like everything else was fine.

So he nodded his head yes and kissed her neck and reached behind her back to fumble with her bra strap.
