— So, you ever been to one of these before? — Yeah! It’s pretty fun. — What are you supposed to do? — It’s easy! You just pick this up, and then you hold it out. Just raise your pinky like this, and then you say, “Excuse me, miss, but may I have a spot of tea?”

“ it was much needed “  he laughed “So many students  were so scared to speak up  It was very refreshing to have someone not afraid to speak her mind and challenge me” He praised her “Rafiki Is what I prefer to be called but seems my last name is more popualr” 

“If I hadn’t been so busy with my internship senior year, I would’ve been your TA. Mostly so I could sit in your class more. I loved it. Almost made me change majors.” She said with a grin. “Almost.” The brunette nodded. “Then Rafiki is what I will call you.”

Wendy nodding. “Absolutely. A friend in uni tried to convince me to get a pixie cut with her,” she shook her head. “Just couldn’t do it. I was terrified of how it’d turn out and then I’d be stuck growing it out for ages.” Wendy’s eyes lit up at the mention of her next project. “Really? That’s brilliant! What will the building be for?”

Viv had to laugh, because that was one hair style she absolutely dreaded, mostly because of the name. “I despise those, so I don’t blame you.” She smiled at how excited Wendy sounded about her new project. “It’s going to be the new art building. So I get to design something super modern looking. I’m very excited.”

“You know that’s not what I meant sassy.” Ariel shot her friend a look. “That sounds absolutely heavenly and I am seriously probably going to try that. I love bananas.” Ariel grinned brightly. “Well I am sure he’s going to love it but just in case I am keeping my toes crossed.” Ariel grinned. 

“Yeah yeah, I know. But you know I can’t pass up an opportunity to be sassy when it presents itself.” Viv said with a grin. “You definitely should. I tried it once and was addicted. And they should be, because they are an amazing fruit. They’re my favorite.” She said with a nod. “I appreciate that. I need him to love it so I can move on.” The brunette said with a laugh.

“I was gonna try, but I wanted to be in school and once I learned there was more fairies around I wanted to be with them instead, and be with Trixie too.” Perrie explained. “Yeah maybe, but I’ve still yet to meet any of them.” Perrie gave her a smile. “Which just makes you one of a kind.” She said, nudging her playfully. She frowned then. “I get that.. theres a lot of people who hate winter too. So I understand.”

“Well that makes sense. How is it being with your sister finally? You guys hanging out more now that we’re not on lockdown?” She couldn’t even imagine not growing up with her siblings and then finding out she had one. “Well, I may not be a winter fairy, but I’ll be your friend.” The brunette said with a smile and gave her a side hug. “Well that’s because those people can’t see the beauty of it.”

“You gotta let that shit go.” Melanie understood she was a songwriter and a perfectionist. She had worked hard for her success and sometimes the pressure she put on herself was immense. “You need to forget about it stop giving a fuck about it and then do something you’d never do and fix it the way you fix it that’s probably what you wanted.”

“You’re completely right. I’m hoping this drink will help me do just that.” She knew that the more she focused on it the worse it would be for her frustration, so a good time out with a friend would help a lot. “How’s the music been coming? Did you get anything done during lockdown?”

Dawn of Tomorrow || Self-Para

Where: Her bed When: Early morning on May 1, 2020 Notes: Viv wakes from a nightmare

Branches whipping against her skin, footsteps crunching on leaves, raspy breathing coming out in angry bursts… it all echoed even after Viv was sure she’d woken up. “This is your ceiling. You are laying in your bed, looking at your ceiling.” No matter what she tried, after every nightmare she had to reacquaint herself, reassure herself, with where she was and what was happening. “If you reach out your left hand you’ll feel Thomas..” She reached out, feeling one the arms of the green plush elephant, the same one she’d had since she was seven, and took a shaky breath. “There’s strawberry ice cream in the freezer that’s starting to grow fur and…” she took another, shakier breath and she covered her mouth, wisps of tears streaking down her cheeks.

Every nightmare felt fuzzy upon waking, leaving Viv terrified, but unable to piece together exactly what was scary about branches, footsteps, or breathing. Sucking in a gulping, wheezy breath through her hand, Viv closed her eyes. “You are alive. You are safe.”

Jane smiled at her. “I think all of us girls have a bitchy streak in there somewhere. It’s just a matter of how much we use it.” She laughed lightly. “Beautifully said. I’m almost thirty three and I’m still trying to get into the habit of thinking that way.” Jane looked down at her old style clothing. “Thanks, not many people understand why I still dress like this. But this is just who I am.”

“I used to use it a lot, but I’ve been working on not using it quite as much. Seems to be working better for me.” She hadn’t ever thought that being nice would be her thing, but it was easier than she had expected. “I don’t understand why people can’t just dress as they please without society being judgmental. Who cares what the models wear? I think most of it is ugly anyways.”

[ofthefallenone]

He loved seeing his former pupils it brough to joy to his heart that the young minds he taught still cared enough to come see him now and then, “of course i didn’t why  do you think I had so many TAs?” He winked playfully back before a laugh escaped “If i recall correctly  you once called his work total bullshit” He couldnt help but feel proud  “Please call me by my first name and yet it as been” 

[lovevivxo]

Viv couldn’t help but laugh at the TA comment and she shook her head. “And here I thought it was because they wanted to pick your brain more.” She made an awkward face at his recollection of her comment  and laughed again. “I have certainly never been one to hide my feelings about things.” The brunette looked over at him. “I’m not sure I ever learned your first name, to be honest.”

Wendy nodded. “Right? It always seemed like it would be so exciting, so liberating!” she agreed with a laugh. Wendy waved off her thanks. “Well, you’ve never been anything but lovely to me. There is no need to thank me,” she stated with a smile. “It’s amazing. I dare say I’m jealous. Being able to say you’ve designed building! That’s… so admirable,” she complimented. “I work mostly in the campus library, but I’ll occasionally help out in the city one.”

“It probably would, but I’m so terrified of hating whatever I do to it.” Viv said with a laugh and she shrugged at the compliment. “It is pretty cool when you drive by and see what you drew on a piece of paper in real life.” She didn’t ever really think about how cool her job really was except for in those moments. “I’ve been spending some time at the campus one, looking into old building records because I’m designing a new building for the school now.”

“No I should not be grading papers!” He scowled playfully at the idea. “Why would Insult such a beautiful sunset with paperwork?” He pointed out the coast and the golden disk slowly getting lower and painting the two in a warm glow. He took a sip of his beer. “No offense to Thomas Paine but his work can’t rival the sun” He chuckled “Surely you didn’t come here just to ask me that? Sit sit have a drink and admire the heavenly body that we once thought  was the center of our universe 

[lovevivxo]

“You mean to tell me you didn’t always grade papers outside during sunset after classes?” Viv said teasingly to her former professor. “I mean, I agree with you there. But then again, I was never the biggest Paine fan, if you remember.” She smiled. “Well no, I didn’t. I came to say hello because I haven’t seen you since I graduated. So, hello.” The brunette said as she sat down next to him. “Long time no see, professor Fillmore.”

“I am always in for drinking.” Melanie nodded in agreement. “Why do you need to drink?” She asked the other woman curiously. “More idiots around or?” She figured it had to also be something of a caliber frustration. Melanie headed in the direction of the bar as she spoke to her friend. 

“Well I’m sure there are more idiots around that would also cause me to drink, but this time it’s frustration with myself. I have a new project at work and I can’t figure out where to start with it.” Viv followed the girl towards the bar, still wracking her brain about this project, it would be good to think about something else.

Wendy laughed, nodding her head. “I understand. I’ve had my hair almost the same style for years. I don’t know what I would do with something different.” Wendy tilted her head at the girl, a soft smile on her face. “Well, that sounds like their loss. From my experience, you are lovely person to know,” Wendy said, quietly. She hated when people made snap judgements or didn’t take the time to get to know people. Often times, they were so much more than what they originally let on. “Oh! That’s brilliant! The skill being an architect takes is phenomenal,” she complimented before adding. “Oh, I’m a librarian.”

“I kept waiting to have the urge to do something crazy after a break up or something, but it never happened.” Viv didn’t know why Wendy was being so nice to her, but she also wasn’t going to complain about it. “Well...thanks. That’s definitely not a word I’m used to being associated with.” She tucked some hair behind her ear. “It’s one of the very few things I’ve found I’m actually quite good at.” The brunette said with a shrug. “Do you work at the campus library or the city library?”

[lovevivxo]

Perrie gave her a knowing look. “Well duh Viv, but there wasn’t much of a choice in schools for fairies.” She said, laughing. “Plus I have to be the weirdo that’s a winter fairy.” Perrie loved her powers and being a fairy, but she couldn’t help felling sad sometimes for being different than the rest of them.

“Well...yeah. But weren’t you going to be a professional ice skater anyway? Did you really need school?” She said with a soft laugh. “Listen, at least there are lots of other winter fairies, even if they’re not here. There’s like no fast flying fairies. Plus people like snow and stuff. They’re not really fans of hurricanes and tornadoes that I get to help create.”

“I will truly never understand it. I wish people would just be kind to one another.” Jane said with a sigh. “I know it’s easier said than done to ignore what others have to say and think, I’m guilty of thinking too much into it as well. But you just have to try your best. “ She gave her a smile. “I love what you’re wearing by the way.”

“I mean don’t get me wrong, I can be bitchy to people, but only when it’s deserved.” She said matter of factly. “You’re right. I’m working on being a better person and that starts with loving myself no matter what everyone else thinks.” The brunette smiled. “Well thank you. I happen to love your outfit as well.”

“If you have tequila I would gladly take some right now.” Melanie chuckled darkly. The small woman could hold a lot of liquor and maybe the tequila was part of why fire ran through her veins, besides you know the dragon thing. 

“I don’t have any on me, but I’ll buy you a few shots of it if you want to head to the bar. I could use a stiff drink right now myself.” She had hit a road block on her new design and it was frustrating her.
