the course of an empire

Liam Jarvis | 23 | Hunter As pointless as attempting to find meaning in a Pauly Shore movie.

Claire let out a small yawn. It was still early in the morning and normally she would be in bed, but both her dogs wanted to go out for a walk. She didn’t grab any gloves and her hands started to feel the chill of the cold morning. “Alright!” she called to Artemis and Apollo, “Let’s go back home.” Both dogs perked up and ran to her side. Without fail Apollo slipped as he ran and tumbled toward her. Claire couldn’t help, but laugh. She hurried down the streets wanting to get back into her warm house.

“I love your dogs. I would go to war for your dogs. I would perish for them. I’d put my heart on the line for your dogs.” Liam admired them from afar, itching to throw a stick for them to fetch. “I would literally—— sell my belongings and build them a doggy playground. What are they named? Wait—— are you allowed to tell me? Will they allow you to tell me?”

“And to think I missed this place,” she scoffed with a shake of her head turning around to look at the other in dismay. Nothing like being catcalled 48 hours after touching down in the city. “Come on. Let’s go eat.”

“Those are my three favourite words in the entire universe.” The Jarvis stated, almost ready to trip over his words in excitement. “Can we try eating foam? I don’t know, it kind of looks tasty. I tried a tide pod and it was gross. Oh, god... buffalo wings. They’re calling my name, screaming it.”

               “Sorry, we’re clothed would be an excellent closed sign for a stripped club —- and don’t even try to tell me differently,” a few giggles erupted from her lips as her small body leaned back in her seat.

“Why do people think I’m embarrassing?” Liam sighed, rolling his eyes, evidently switching positions with his twin sister for once in their life. “Do you think I could make it as a stripper, Olive? I just want your honest opinion.”

“Oh, shit!” Mia had rounded the corner too fast, coffee cup dripping dark liquid across the folder she held in her hand, while somehow managing to miss her shirt. She didn’t notice, more concerned with the individual she’d collided with. “Are you okay? I’m so sorry, I should’ve been paying attention.” It was unlike her. Her mind was back in her office, still retracing her last session. “I’m more than happy to pay for dry cleaning, but I’m sure that doesn’t help much now.”

“Pay me ten dollars and I’ll lick it off.” He was unsure whether or not to be angry about the incident. Perhaps it would persuade him to finally do his laundry, in his opinion. Yet, it meant that his favourite Big Bang Theory shirt had been stained.

“Please,” the sound of the the words last syllables lingered longer within the air than she had originally planned for, trying her best not to be desperate but unable to let go of the eager feeling. Her father was almost never— well, actually he was never gone and the urge to spread her wings felt strong. “I actually have the night off for once and I don’t want to waste it.”

“I know exactly what we can do. I think we should go to the restaurant, you whip out your credit card, and we do a Man v Food challenge. I’m feeling maybe wings. I would, of course, treat you to a virgin cocktail afterwards.”

“Keep your tongue in your mouth, Liam.” It wasn’t a sentence he thought he’d have to say now that he was an adult, but alas, his nephew was a special one. “Do you know what venison is? I’ll get you some, but I’m serious, son. It’s not safe for you here anymore.”

“My tongue has to be in my mouth. One time I think I choked on it, but it was a pretty scary experience.” He recalled to himself, before realising what his uncle truly meant. “Um—— I think I do. Will you actually? I think that’d tick something off my bucket list. What? So Liv and I just—— go back to Utah? For how long? Some of us are working men, you know. Plus, school is like heroin to Olive. She’ll die without it.”

[liamjarvis]

what was growing up in kansas like? did you tip cows instead of going to amusement parks? did you have a steak n' shake? did samsung control your tv time?

“I’m from Utah, you ignorant flesh prison. Utah was amazing. We had—— a lot there, alright? We had... shit, a lake, I guess. We had a zoo, too. You can hike. You can—— go out to a bar. You can get rejected by Izzy Jacobs in tenth grade. There’s a lot. I’m actually—— offended by this question. Utah is great.”

[liamjarvis]

what are your favorite memes to date

[liamjarvis]

do you believe in ghosts, like a marv jarv ghost

“I’m pretty sure I do. I mean, there’s something banging on my ceiling at 3am and it certainly isn’t Liv. I always thought it’d be the ghost of Christmas past, telling me to quit while I’m ahead with the cheetos. However—— my dad as a ghost? Scary thought. All he’d do is yell at me throughout the day and I’d never be able to escape it. So long story short... in summary, maybe.”

Motormouth Liam Jarvis was going on and on about some ridiculous new meme, giving Harvey no chance to interject with the reason he wanted to talk to his nephew. Finally he paused, if only to take a sip of his La Croix. “How would you feel about taking a trip to visit your mom?” @liamjarvis

“Back in Utah?” He questioned, La Croix still firmly held in his hand. “I’m not really sure—— I guess, I could. Why?” He could tell his uncle’s seriousness, yet he shook his head and sat down on the couch. “For one small fee, I shall return back to the motherland. I want to try venison. Also, do you really think drinking the rain would be poisonous? I’m really tempted to stick my tongue out.”

               “You literally just said what I said, only in a different way to make it sound more like it’s out of your control,” her own chuckle echoing around the pair, arms moving so have her hand stuff themselves into the front pocket of her hoodie. “Wonderful, don’t think I want to deal with this wonderful burning blood rain on my own. Think uncle Harvey will let me borrow the vehicle? If I cry that our lives are at stake? Slightly offended that you think I wouldn’t answer a would you rather.”

“That made literally no sense, Olive. I’m sorry. It must be hard, you know. Being the dumb twin. I guess I was just blessed with literally everything.” He teased his twin, smiling as he walked alongside her. “If you dare me to hold a cup out and drink the blood rain, I’d probably do it, let’s be real. Um, probably not, but uncle Harvey’s a little on the edge so I can volunteer to do it? Okay, okay. Would you rather... plank in this rain for three hours or be artificially inseminated by an unknown donor?”

          Groomed brows knit together, face contorting in near repugnance before finally pulling away, “You’re not? — Oh bloody hell, I swear you look just like my intern, Miles.” A small scowl left her, bringing her phone up to her ears before deciding against it in the end, figuring the intern could have his fun for the evening. “I assure you, you have a twin in there, darling. At least physically,” she commented in conclusion once the other finished prattling on. 

“I’m not — Miles. I can be Miles, if you want me to be Miles. I can literally be anything you want me to be.” He practically salivated over the other, quickly grabbing a drink from the nearby table, taking a sip to realise the alcohol ratio was far too high. Slowly spitting it back in, he casually placed the drink back down. “So—— what are you and Miles? Lovers? I can totally play the part. One time, I was an understudy in West Side Story for Tony, so if you want my resume... my manager will be more than happy to provide it.”

Normally, she’d probably look absolutely insane pushing a basket full of umbrellas towards the checkout but give the hellish rain Natalya was sure she got a pass. Not that she actually gave a damn about what anyone had to say about. She’d cleared out all of the stands in the store and the final one was en route to the line. “Hi,” she greeted the customer standing just left of the display. “Are you going to purchase one? I plan on taking what’s left.” 

“Yes. Yes, I am. I was going to order this really cool one that changes colour in the rain but it seems as though Amazon are a little pre-occupied. Plus, I’m not really sure if the umbrella works in that kind of rain.” The Jarvis shrugged, hand grasping the umbrella. “I was prepared to duel for this umbrella. Fight until whoever wins first. The battle of man. However, since you asked so kindly, fair lady, we can agree confidently that I can have one and go our separate ways.”

          A near dramatic sigh left her, arm positioned precariously around the others as they walked out into the hazardous evening; the intermittent blood rain not even something Beth, as an Ouroboro’s member, could trust. “I did apologize in advance. Fashion events can be so tedious sometimes. Though I did promise to pay you handsomely for being my date. Late night dinner? Tomorrow morning’s coffee? Dealer’s choice.” A convincing smile spread across gloss covered lips, walking in step with the other. 

“I think you got the wrong person, buckaroo.” Liam walked beside her, almost definitely convinced the other party was either extremely drunk or at least mistaken. “I mean, I’ll take it.  You remind me of an Aztec sunshine goddess who’s come to slay the men of New York City. honestly? Let me take you out for a rendezvous. I’ll show you the best pizza place, even though the hygiene rating may be drastically low.”

               “Yeah —- not really worried, you’re prone to bad decisions.” It was a tease, but more-so a fact, Liam was always the one getting wrapped up in situations, but Liv always eager to find him a way out. “I know the one, especially since you just said the birthday cake flavour. You coming to the store with me or am I gonna be like your maid or some shit?”

“I am not prone to bad decisions. I just —— make them and they never work out in my favour.” The Jarvis groaned slightly, knowing that his twin was fully correct. The universe just never seemed to tilt towards him. “I guess I could accompany you. Only if you do one thing for me and one thing only —— answer a very hard ‘would you rather’. It’s kind of like a troll needing you to answer a question to get over the bridge.”

“Yeah, well we all know you’re not eating anything, what the fuck is that? You’re..– is that a pina colada? Seriously? You couldn’t settle for malibu or something?” The ice cube he scooped from his empty glass flung across the booth at the other, “You’re not allowed to come out for drinks again, that’s a new rule.”

“You’re just jealous that I’m drowning in coochie.” He hissed at Hendrix, defensive about his tactics for flirting. “No, grow up. Malibu is for fifteen year old girls. I’m a strong guy. I deserve this Pina Colada. Beer tastes like ass, alright? We’re better than that here. Stop, you love it when you take me out. Gives you a glimpse of our dating future.”
