[HAIR]: in the process of pushing the receiver's hair back from their face, the sender lets their hand rest against the receiver's cheek a moment longer. // && @angcltouched

she stops , her breath coming to catch in her chest the moment that his large , strong hand leaves his side and comes towards her face . though she knows she does not have to , that she is safe in his presence , she flinches despite herself . she is not used to such gentleness , apparently when someone could be capable of such harshness , yet chose not to be when he touches her . she comes to settle when he pushes back her hair , securing it back behind her ear where it had originated before she dipped her head so that her eyes would gaze down at her feet . however , as he allows his touch to linger on her cheek , she finally raises her gaze back up to him , her eyes meeting his instantly . they are almost drawn to him , like by a force unseen for now . blue orbs drop a bit from his piercing attention trained on her to his lips , then away again , too shy to make any move to do anything about it .

@m0usytm sent, " t -- that is a lot of b --- blood. "

" valerie, darling. " kol approach her as if she was a wild animal as his fingers stroke her cheeks softly while he cleaned the blood off of her cheeks while his eyes plants on her. " remember what we talked about decades ago. it will take time for you to get used to it. " he smiled at her as he pulled his hands from her face and cleaned his fingers by licking them clean off of the blood while he pull her to sit down. " i will clean up. you stay there and try to take deep breath, okay? i am going to take care of this. "

yeah, he should be careful with whom he turn into a new vampire. valerie was his first creation since he had woken up from another decade of slumber. she was a test, yet, she was good at listening to his advise. even when, it was for a means to an ends.

[m0usytm]

all she can see is red ; it is going to stain and corrupt her long after the streaks have been cleaned from her flesh and the sensation of a warm and sickly stickiness has left her . his saying her name in such a manner causes her to slightly cower despite herself , like there is something sinister lurking beneath the surface ; though he plays it off as a jest , like this is all in good fun . she backs herself up instinctively as he comes closer , flinching as his hand lands on her face . she cannot meet his eyes , too ashamed of herself for what she had done . as he rids her of the crimson stains , she shifts from foot to foot .

" t --- take ..... take time ... r --- right . " she can feel all the color drain from her , a shudder leaving her when he brings his fingers up to his mouth and clean up the blood just like that . she goes limp when he settles her down in a seat , clenching her hands in her lap as they turn a stark white from the effort . she would have assured she would be able to help and did not need to sit , but she did ; or else she might have collapsed from the shock of what she had done . her breaths come in short gasps , even though she tries to make them deeper and less panicked . even though he had done this to her , she could not feel anything but grateful and in debt to him ; at least he gave her a purpose , right ?

Up  with  the  needle,  down  and  through;  make  a  loop,  a  knot  and  all  is  done.  Stitch  by  stitch  his  newest  project  came  together,  the  finish  line  already  in  sight.  A  particularly  wonderful  creation,  one  he  would  be  immensely  proud  of  once  it  was  done.

It  was  late  at  night  or  perhaps  early  in  the  morning  -  Tarrant  couldn't  really  tell,  he  had  been  so  absorbed  in  his  work  -  when  he  heard  these  strange  sounds.  Not  as  strange  as  they  should  have  been,  he  had  heard  them  before  several  times  but  it  had  caught  him  off  guard  to  hear  them  again.  Dropping  his  tool,  he  rose  to  his  feet,  following  the  sounds  back  to  the  source.  Tarrant  was  not  too  surprised  when  he  stood  in  front  of  Valerie's  room.  A  knock  wouldn't  do,  she  would  not  hear  him.  Quietly,  he  walked  in  kneeling  beside  her  bed  as  he  put  his  hands  on  her  shoulders,  trying  to  gently  wake  her.  "It's  just  a  dream,  sweetheart.  None  of  it  is  real.  Wake  up,  Valerie.  Come  back  to  me."

[m0usytm]

she had retired to her room fairly early to let him work on his latest project, having had quite the long day already when he showed her around the more obscure parts of underland. she had never seen such wonderous sights, and she does not look forward to when she has to return to her realm again. perhaps they could go and speak to the white queen about extending her stay, though the did not want to impose. she is that sure how long she had been asleep, amidst her tossing and turning, though far too soon for her liking, her dreams had begun to take a harrowing turn, causing her to once again become restless. though she had been to visit her father a few times now, she had attempted to conceal the fact she had night terrors from him, as not to cause him unneeded concern; she is not sure she had been doing the best job. soon, it all became too much for her to remain silent, whimpers and cries leaving her unknowngly as she was stuck in the inbetween , not able to reach the waking world on her own again.

the only thing that rips her away from her horrifying visions is his voice, the firm but gentle hand on her shoulder. her eyes finally open, darting from side to side like a cornered animal, finally landing on her father. before she can register what she is doing, her arms come to wrap around his neck, burying her head in the crook of it; she could not even speak, she was much too terrified.// && @alyafae

ALL I’VE EVER KNOWN

‘ you make me see how the world could be in spite of the way that it is. ’ ‘ when i fell, i fell in spite of myself. ’ ‘ i was alone so long, i didn’t even know that i was lonely. ’ ‘ i didn’t even know that i was cold. ’ ‘ this is how it’s always been. ’ ‘ all i’ve ever known is how to hold my own. ’ ‘ all i’ve ever known is how to hold my own, but now i want to hold you too. ’ ‘ you take me in your arms, and suddenly there’s sunlight all around me. ’ ‘ everything’s bright, and warm, and shining like it never did before. ’ ‘ for a moment, i forgot just how dark and cold it gets. ’ ‘ i don’t ever want to have to let you go. ’ ‘ i don’t want to go back to the lonely life. ’ ‘ i don’t know how, or why, or who am i, that i should get to hold you? ’ ‘ when i saw you all alone against the sky, it was like i’d known you all along. ’ ‘ i knew you before we met, and i don’t even know you yet. ’ ‘ all i know is that you’re someone that i’ve always known. ’ ‘ i’m holding the world in my arms. ’ ‘ say that you’ll hold me forever. say that the wind won’t change on us. say that we’ll stay with each other, and it’ll always be like this. ’ ‘ i’m gonna hold you forever. the wind won’t change on us. long as we stay with each other, then it will always be like this. ’

WAY DOWN HADESTOWN

‘ better go and get your suitcase packed. ’ ‘ guess it’s time to go. ’ ‘ did you ever wonder what it’s like on the underside? ’ ‘ everybody’s trying to get a ticket to go, but those who go? they don’t come back. ’ ‘ i hear that high and lonesome sound of my husband coming for to bring me home. ’ ‘ i’ll be bored to death. ’ ‘ give me morphine in a tin. give me a crate of the fruit of the vine. ’ ‘ you’re early. ’ ‘ i missed you. ’ ‘ seems like he owns everything. kinda makes you wonder how it feels. ’

A GATHERING STORM

‘ it’s not supposed to be like this. ’ ‘ this is how it is. ’ ‘ where are you going? ’ ‘ the wind is changing. there’s a storm coming on. ’ ‘ we need food. ’ ‘ do you hear me? ’

EPIC II

‘ my loneliness moves in me, cruel and black. ’ ‘ jealousy fuels me, and feeds me, and fills me, with doubt that you’ll never come—dread that you’ll never come—doubt that my lover will ever come back. ’ ‘ with a million hands, he builds a wall. ’

CHANT   

‘ you gotta keep your head low. ’ ‘ why is it so hot? ’ ‘ it ain’t right, and it ain’t natural. ’ ‘ you were gone so long. ’ ‘ lover, i was lonesome. ’ ‘ when you feel that fire, think of it as my desire. ’ ‘ is it finished? ’ ‘ i’m trying to trust that the song you’re working on is gonna shelter us. ’ ‘ i’ll sing a song of a love gone wrong. ’ ‘ look up! ’ ‘ it’s hard enough to feed yourself, let alone somebody else. ’ ‘ give that back! ’ ‘ the wrath of the gods was in it. ’ ‘ every year, it’s getting worse. ’ ‘ did you think i’d be impressed? ’ ‘ lover, what have you become? ’ ‘ i don’t know you anymore. ’ ‘ lover, everything i do, i do it for the love of you. ’ ‘ if you don’t even want my love, i’ll give it to someone who does. ’ ‘ i’ll give my love to someone who appreciates the comforts of a gilded cage. ’ ‘ i’ll give my love to someone who could love these walls that hold her close and keep her safe, and think of them as my embrace. ’

romance fades. love is a different thing.

both of these concepts strike an unfamiliar chord with valerie, not sure she would be able to tell the difference, even if she wanted to. her whole life apparently had been lies, deceit and manipulation, so why should she expect anything different? " i do n -- not think i w -- would be able to r -- recog -- recognize either . " she admits. // && @bledsaint

PROMPTS FROM OBSESSION *  assorted dialogue from the script of the 2026 film, adjust as necessary

i've often wondered what it means to truly love someone. and then, i realized it's what i feel for you. it's a love that defies the limitations of the world, that remains steadfast even in the face of chaos.

even if the world lost its color, if hope faded into the night, my love for you wouldn't falter.

i don't think romance is real. i think love is real, but not romance.

romance fades. love is a different thing.

you are so lucky you weren't scheduled today.

hey, are you good?

did you get it back?

it's gone! i dropped it down a fucking drain. of all days...

today's been awful.

i'll see you at eight?

i can meet you early if you want. you don't have to be alone just to secure the spot.

don't come back here complaining.

for a very long time, i've tried to find the best way to tell you that you're the only person i've ever met with the same sense of humor as me.

okay, right off the bat, way too strong.

my feelings are strong.

i know i'm not gonna stop you.

dude, i love trivia night. it's all i have. i wake up every wednesday rock-hard thinking about trivia night.

you gotta take her somewhere else. you have to be clear about your intentions.

do you even try to flirt with her?

if she means this much to you, and i know she does, do it right.

are you serious?

you definitely didn't say fuck.

how do you know about the gun?

how many gunfights have you been in, [name]?

stop being an ass.

didn't you say you have a crazy story?

i'm saying no to being around bad, drunk singers when i just want to go home and sleep.

who's gonna sing salt-n-pepa with me?

don't let me forget, i got you something.

i might quit. i'm just not happy there.

i feel like i need to make a big change. i'm not feeling... love. i need my head in the right place to bring this to life.

i wanna write. the good, the bad, the ugly. real shit.

is that stupid?

is that all that's been bothering you?

you always go out of your way for me, and not just me, for everyone...

you said you had something for me?

why don't you come inside, and we can have a few drinks?

i know what you're trying to do.

i have never seen you act this way.

it's not your fault.

can we go, please?

i just can't sleep in my bed. i don't want to be alone.

it smells like you.

i'm sorry i was so weird earlier.

will you sleep with me?

please, i get in my head. i'll stare at the ceiling all night if i'm in here by myself.

given the circumstances... i needed this.

you kissed me!

can you lay with me?

what the fuck happened last night?

you wouldn't believe what a crazy night i had.

i seriously think she needs help.

i slept on the floor. she was freaking me out.

how am i supposed to get home then?

i want to be transparent with you abuout some things.

i know you like me, [name].

i've known you for so long, and i'm just now realizing i don't even know that much about you.

why are you giving it to me?

i love you so much. i don't think i could live without you.

i thought we were having a nice date?

you're cute when you sleep.

make a deal with me.

i am the happiest i've probably ever been.

i was waiting for you to come home.

i can get dressed and go with you.

no one on this earth will ever comprehend what it feels like to love someone as much as i love you.

can i stand outside?

do you like me?

can you tell me you love me?

i can be anything you want me to be.

i love you in every reality.

let's fuck, [name].

you wanted this, but i'm so glad you did.

you made a shitty wish, and you want to reverse it.

what the fuck is wrong with you?

i wish for a billion dollars.

why don't you love me?

you owe me that.

we can make this work baby.

i'm sorry for the theatrics.
