Fear Itself

[malloryxsmith-blog]

The library had been quieter than normal all day, which meant Mallory was left to her own thoughts as she re-shelved books and checked the shelves for books placed on hold. She hadn't paid much attention as she walked around the corner and right into someone. She backed away quickly, placing enough distance that she couldn't touch them, even on accident. "I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention."

“alright guys, that’s a wrap,” willa called out, taking a long sip from her water bottle. after an finishing her last yoga group training in the day, she needed a drink. one of her clients had caused a few issues earlier, which had caused more stress than she needed. turning to face the only other person left in the room, willa arched an eyebrow. “do you need anything, or did you just want the company cause i’m about to head to the bar if you care to join?”

Yoga was always something she had enjoyed doing. When she saw that there was a yoga class, she had signed up hoping to return some sense of normalcy to her life. "Oh no, I'm just slow," Mal said, smiling at the other girl. "That would be fun, if you're sure you don't mind me joining you."

“Stupid fly,” Bryce mumbled to himself, allowing a small sigh to escape from his lips as he finally lifted his head from the book in front of him. He’d tried to ignore the fly as best as he could, but his heightened senses made it next to impossible. He heard every flap of its wings, every buzz, he could feel it land on his arm, he could feel it flying around- and it was starting to drive him nuts. “That’s it,” he stated, his eyes narrowing as he focused on the fly, “You’re mine now!” he cried out, as he thrust his hand into the air, grabbing ahold of the fly between his index finger and thumb. “This’ll teach you not to mess with me!” he spoke with a laugh as he brought the fly in front of his face. “Now run off and tell your friends,” he gave one final warning before opening his hand and allowing it to fly off. And then, almost as if it had never happened he turned his focus back to the book in front of him.

Mallory had been re-shelving books nearby when she heard him talking to a fly. She listened, an eyebrow raised before speaking. "While flies have been found to experience emotions, there's nothing suggesting they have friends, more likely not that's mostly anthropomorphism. Either way, that seems a little unnecessarily cruel. It's a fly doing what flies do."

“so, where’s the best place to get a beer or two around here?” he wasn’t normally much of a drinker, but seeing as he has a crippling fear of airplanes and that seemed to be the only way to get here, he needed something to ease the anxiety. and maybe, just maybe, maverick could get drunk enough to convince himself this wasn’t a terrible idea.

"I'm not sure. I've never been much of a beer drinker. Or a drinker at all really," she said with a shrug. "There is a bar not far from here though."

✧ ━━━ 「 ELIZABETH LAIL, female, she/her 」did you hear that MALLORY SMITH just arrived on mutant island? I heard the TWENTY THREE YEAR OLD is on the island because of HER FIANCE'S FATHER TURNED HER IN. we are excited to see how they use FEAR INDUCEMENT around the island, they are sure to be useful in the future. i’ve heard rumors going around that they’re idealistic & hesitant, as well as allocentric & friendly. in due time, we’re bound to unravel the truth. will THEY survive the island? ╳ CHARACTER AESTHETIC: smell of fresh books, old leather chairs, Christmas lights, wildflowers, tea length skirts, warm mugs held in cold hands, peter pan collars

CHARACTER QUESTIONNAIRE:

Has your character always known they possessed the mutant gene? If not, how old were they when they discovered this? What happened?

No, she was 23 when she discovered her ability. Someone  had broken into her and her fiance's apartment and she went to confront them. She grabbed their wrist and they went still and silent. After a moment, they started screaming and she let go and backed away. After a minute when the effect of her powers wore off they ran off.

Does your character have any physical giveaways that they are a mutant?

Her eyes glow purple when she uses her powers.

Does your character have a job on the island? If so what and why did they choose it? If not, why did they choose not to?

She's a librarian. Mal has always loved books and she did her undergraduate in library sciences  so it just felt right when she saw there was an open job at the library.

What is your character’s Myer-Briggs Type?

ENFJ

If your character were a character from the world of Harry Potter, what Hogwarts house would they be in?

Ravenclaw

Headcannons:

Her powers only work with skin to skin contact. Because of this, she avoids touching people as much as possible until  she can control when it happens

Her powers are directly linked to her own fear. She has to be feeling fear in order for them to work  

She thinks it was her fiance that turned her in. She doesn't know he told his father and that his father was the one who turned her in

Despite thinking her fiance was the one who turned her in, she still wears her engagement ring because it felt wrong when she tried to take it off

She is actually quite outgoing, but may come across as shy because she's afraid of accidentally using her powers on someone

She’s been on the island for several months, but has mostly avoided socialization outside of work until recently
