@madebythejungle​ ❤’d for this, can you believe it?

“Honestly, I wish they would hurry up and get on with it,” she said in a hushed tone to the man next to her, she knew of course who Lord Greystone was, but honestly she’d have said it to anyone, Aisling would have been the preferred recipient but she was without her this evening, and the way the Lord shifted made her feel as if he might benefit from a bit of frown upon sense of humor.

"𝑇𝘩𝑒𝑦 𝑡𝘩𝑟𝑖𝑣𝑒 𝑜𝑛 𝑡𝑒𝑑𝑖𝑢𝑚."               his   sentences   are   usually   short,   more   clipped   than   anything   else,   and   john   has   always   liked   it   better   that   way.   though   he   understands   any   and   all   words   perfectly   well,   the   art   of   actually   speaking   is   not   something   he   thrives   at,   finding   them   more   trouble   than   they’re   worth.   there’s   too   much   opportunity   for   confusion,   he’s   found,   and   he   hates   it   beyond   anything   else.               “given   their   positions,   you   would   think   they   would   have   more   important   things   to   do.”               but,   of   course,   he   knows   that   will   probably   never   happen.   society   is   their   life,   he’s   found,   even   if   he   hates   it.

“jonathon clayton,” she greeted with an amused smirk upon her lips.    she was acting too informal, too familial, but she knew she could only get away with it because he was her best friends husband.   hands lightly clasped behind her back as she stood up tall, holding her head up high;    she truly was glad to see him.   anyone who’d been lucky enough to have her best friend’s heart was a true heart of gold in her eyes - he really seemed to make her happy.   to truly love her.    “now where on earth have you taken my best friend to?  hopefully only the most beautiful of places.”  // @madebythejungle liked.

"𝑁𝑜 𝑜𝑛𝑒 𝑐𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑠 𝑚𝑒 𝐽𝑜𝑛𝑎𝑡𝘩𝑜𝑛."               despite   his   words,   a   grin   was   beginning   to   tease   at   the   corners   of   his   lips,   his   gaze   settled   on   her   as   a   faint   hum   sounded   in   the   back   of   his   throat.   his   marriage   to   caroline   had   brought   more   than   just   her   presence   into   his   life,               and   though   he   wasn’t   much   the   type   to   be   overly   sociable,               he   didn’t   quite   mind   it   as   much   as   he’d   originally   thought,   when   he’d   met   the   other   blonde.   “it’s   only   been   a   year,   you   know.   we   haven’t   done   much   traveling.”   he   forced   himself   to   use   each   word   precisely   -   pronounced   and   distinct,   just   as   he   always   did   whenever   speaking   to   anyone   other   than   his   wife.

as badly as she wants to collapse into bed and sleep until the sun comes up — she’s missed him. she’s not used to spending this much time away from him since they’ve been married. being home is great, seeing everyone is incredible, but she misses him. it’s not hard to find him, he’s essentially in the same place she left him earlier this morning. coming up behind him, caroline’s arms wrap around his shoulders, turning her face to press a kiss to the curve of his neck.  ❝ my lord, ❞  her voice is teasing, nose playfully nudging beneath the curve of his jaw before she moves to rest her chin on his shoulder.  ❝ come with me to town tomorrow? ❞          /          @madebythejungle​   +   didn’t ask for a gv thing but gets one for obvious reasons.

𝐼𝑓 𝑡𝘩𝑒𝑟𝑒 𝑖𝑠 𝑜𝑛𝑒 𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑠𝑜𝑛 𝑤𝘩𝑜 𝑐𝑎𝑛 𝑏𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑎 𝑠𝑚𝑖𝑙𝑒 𝑡𝑜 𝐽𝑜𝘩𝑛’𝑠 𝑓𝑎𝑐𝑒,               it   is   caroline.   it’s   not,   perhaps,   the   fact   that   he   is   the   most   stone   faced   man   in   the   world,   as   much   as   it’s   the   fact   that   since   his   arrival   in   england,   his   advisors   had   drilled   into   him   how   important   it   was   to   appear   serious.   put   together.               to   not   allow   anyone   to   perceive   him   as   incompetent,               since   everyone’s   eyes   were   on   him.   but   caroline?   caroline   has   been   a   light   in   his   life,   and   had   been   since   the   day   he’d   met   her.   he   grins   at   her   question,   because   though   he   doesn’t   old   any   particular   affection   for   going   into   down,   he   does   hold   affection   for   spending   time   with   her.   “how   could   i   say   no?”   he   shifts,   turning   enough   to   reach   behind   him   and   pluck   her   off   her   feet,   settling   her   down   onto   his   lap   soon   after.   “gone   too   long.”   he   doesn’t   bother   forming   full   sentences   with   her   -   she’s   seemed   to   learn   what   he   means   well   enough   without   the   need   for   all   the   words   mixed   in   between.

The prodigal son, returned home again. Everyone had believed that John and Alice Clayton’s son had perished as they did when they’d gone missing, but decades later, he returned. Unusually smart and intuitive, John Clayton III returned to England to claim his rightful place as the Lord of Greystoke, though he hadn’t the faintest idea as to what any of it meant.

name  —  john clayton iii title  —  lord greystoke age  —  thirty five

Upon his entry into English society, John Clayton was a quiet, often somewhat rude and complicated man that most in the society didn’t know what to make of. They had been used to the charming likes of his cousin heading the Greystoke estate in his absence, and the abrupt - oft salacious - change of power had many of them reeling. But despite this, it’d taken him scant more than a couple of balls to set his sights on the charismatic Caroline Forbes, and before long they were wed, completely smitten with each other in a way that John didn’t connect with a great deal of people. Now, they are a couple that certainly raises eyebrows with how they behave around one another, and John’s presence is almost entirely because of Caroline’s desire to be involved with it all, as he doesn’t tend to care for much of it.

𝐶𝑂𝑁𝑁𝐸𝐶𝑇𝐼𝑂𝑁𝑆...

Lady Caroline Clayton. wife / better half. ( @seesgood )  —  Caroline is, what John calls, the one good thing that has ever come into his life from high society. He finds most of it tedious and inconsequential, but she is the best part of his life, and as his relationship formed from the social season, he supposes he can’t completely disregard it’s value.

DEAREST GENTLE READER, you do not know me and, rest assured, you never shall; but i certainly know you.      as the social season begins to arrive upon us we are graced with the newest of misses and seeking misters;    this author finds herself compelled to share the most curious of news that comes about during the season.     if there is a scandal, i shall uncover it.       

                              YOURS TRULY, lady whistledown

                      a group versed based off netflix’s bridgerton.

rules:

all human verse set during the regency era in england, but your character is welcome to be from other countries / territories as long as they’re willing to visit england for the social season

though the verse is inspired by bridgerton, you don’t need to have familarity with the show. it’s essentially jane austen meets gossip girl.

due to adult themes, we ask that applicants be 18+

while the purpose of the social season is for your characters to find a husband/wife, this can be done for any number of reasons — money, status, convenience, love. that being said, things like affairs, will likely be featured and it is up to you to communicate with your writing partners about the bounds of your muses’ relationship(s)

if there’s anything about your character ( personal scandal, family scandal, being compromised in any way, your characters’ relationship progression ) that you would like lady whistledown to write about, please send in an ask!

for the purposes of this verse, “lady whistledown” is a npc ( unless you’d like your character to be whistledown, in which case please discuss with the moderators )

while societal views differed during the regency era, this verse is hugely welcoming to characters of all races, identities, and sexual orientations — we’re going to go along the lines of the show and say that it’s set in a universe where all of this is socially accepted, but whether or not you wish to bring in any kind of conflict your muse may have about their identity is up to you.

if you wish to join with a friend and set up an existing relationship from the start, please let us know when applying, your characters can be courting, betrothed, or already married.

this verse is going to be lowkey and pace will be set by members so there’s will be no activity checks or requirements

a group discord is set up for plotting purposes, if you would like to be added please submit your discord with your application

please post a character biography prior to writing so that we can all get an idea of who your character is

TAG:  gv. an even rarer jewel

to apply: submit here

character name: character faceclaim: character age: societal status:  ( options below ) brief background information: any pre-existing scandals: discord:  ( if you’d like to be part of the group discord, deleted upon acceptance )

@smokinmirrors​ said: " at least i've got you here to take care of me, right? "

“i’m not exactly a caretaker,” john muttered, giving a small shake of his head as his eyebrows furrowed together.     “YOU SHOULDN’T COUNT ON ME.”     never mind the fact that the idea of being in charge of someone’s wellbeing - at least, now, with the current circumstances of his life - made his stomach churn uncomfortably.     “so, no, you don’t.”     he was a bit more blunt, maybe harsh, than he’d intended to be, but he’d never been one to mince his words - rather looking for the chance to use as few as he possibly could, no matter how other people took it. the subtle intricacies of human interaction escaped him, even after all of these years.
