"i never said i was debating killing you, you came to that conclusion on your own. and i'm sure that you had plenty of dreams about waking up next to me naked, even if you didn't think they were possible in reality." he couldn't help but tease her, enjoying how flustered she could get when he managed to really get under her skin. and getting under her skin is so much easier with the lack of memories to back up the more outlandish things he'd said. "i know, that's why i'm trying to ease you into it where i can." because as much as xaden knows she craves knowledge, has to know everything about everything, all of this at once would absolutely be too much. "no, definitely wasn't, but i think i'm allowed to be a little put out by the whole thing. we've really had the worst luck since we got here." and that was the most frustrating part, was he really couldn't get a moment of peace with her, could he? "history is written by the victors, love. and we did not win that battle. as for how people feel about you in charge? i have no idea. honestly, i don't know."

[mcrcki]

"it seemed like a pretty logical conclusion at the time." what else was she meant to think from being around fen riorson's son after everything that happened, when everyone else in her life was telling her he wanted her dead too. "besides, mira and dain both agreed that was your intention, so, it wasn't just me." she added, though the comment left her stumbling for words for a moment, eyes narrowing. "alright, that is just not true at all." she lied poorly, knowing her reaction was definitely enough to give that away. though, she supposed she didn't need to lie about that to him, considering they were fucking married... but violet still struggled to wrap her mind around that piece of her new reality. "it's appreciated.." though she wanted to know everything, every little detail that she was missing all upfront, violet knew that would just be too much to process all at once. she needed to be alright taking things in stages, especially with how big some of this information was. something as simple as surviving threshing and bonding should have been a given for a cadet, but violet hadn't let herself think that far ahead at this point, unsure if that was actually a possibility for her. "this isn't the first thing we've dealt with being here? how long have we actually been here anyways?" she wasn't just missing memories from home, she was clearly missing plenty from this city as well.. what kind of magic was powerful enough for this level of mind meddling. "well obviously, yeah, but scrubbing an entire city that is still functioning? and people never found out about it? that feels like an insane level of control that i'm having a hard time wrapping my head around." the idea that scribes were told a lie, that they believed it and wrote it as the truth.. their records being falsified and she was certain none of them knew it.. "guessing word hasn't gotten out that we're married then, if you don't know?"

[lcngliive]

ridoc blinked a few times, giving vi an odd look before laughing. "haha, very funny," he grinned. "you know I bonded with a dragon, we've been at this for a while now vi," there was something bothering them about the way vi reacted, but ridoc chose to ignore that for the moment, just happy to see their friend.

[mcrcki]

she knew it wasn’t likely to happen, but violet was hoping at least one person she knew would only remember what she did.. that she wouldn’t be the only person in the dark and having to explain their situation over and over. “i wish i was joking, honestly ridoc.” she offered apologetically. “apparently my memories got fucked with, i don’t even remember threshing.”

[tragcdysewn]

allana had admittedly been staring into space, as close to another planet as she can be while being stuck here. "i'm fine, sell." she replies with a small grin, hoping to keep their girlfriend from worrying too much. "both my parents showed up, and i'm having a moment about it. i just... need to sort through my stuff, i think."

[mcrcki]

"i know that look, babe." sure they said they were fine, but there was definitely something going on in their head. sella wasn't going to let her deal with it alone, whatever it was. "oh.. yeah that sounds rough." she knew the history there, and if anyone understood complicated family dynamics, it was sella. "do they remember you, at least? or is that worse than no memories?"

[musingnook]

@mcrcki || marley "Marley, you're here too!" Citlalli said in amazement, a big smile forming on her lips. "I saw Mason and Flora... Is your whole family here?"

[mcrcki]

"citlalli, shit, you're here--" that was a shock, seeing someone from home that wasn't just their family.. though, she seemed far too chipper seeing them, that marley couldn't help but worry she didn't know what became of them all. "my siblings all are, yeah. mom and dad aren't though."

[wvsteria]

soren nodded his head slowly while he listened to his sister talk. glad to have some time with his siblings considering how busy he tended to get with his job and his long shifts. he was proud of her, hearing that she would be graduating, it was a huge milestone. "that's great, sella. i'm really proud of you." he wanted to get that out first before he addressed her concern. "i'll be fine with sheev being there. we've talked... and i can see he's changed."

[mcrcki]

"thank you! i'm really excited, i mean, everything is a mess right now trying to finish all of my work but i can't wait for it to be done." she had sort of thought she wouldn't ever see the end, having been in school for years now. but knowing that she had actually made it, that she did this for herself.. she was proud. "oh! good! great! i hadn't wanted to pry or anything, i know everyone had their own process with that so.. but i'm really glad you two are okay!"

[cosmicstruck]

his steps falter. leon blinks once, twice. maybe his coffee hasn’t kicked in yet, and his eyes are playing tricks. “no, i haven’t. are we pretending like that’s normal?” he’s worked on some bizarre cases, but nothing involving… well, he doesn’t know whether to clasify them as fly or person. “what a buzzing start to the day.”

[mcrcki]

oh now that was fun, seeing their reaction, the way they stumbled back. dani loved it, the fear, confusion, all of it in people's eyes like that. "it's normal for me, love. you're telling me you don't find it fun?" they asked, taking a few steps closer. "now that's the spirit."

[musingnook]

@mcrcki || danika Zelda's head pounded so loud she almost thought it would be audible to the people around her. She rubbed her head with her hands, trying to get it to stop. She looked up and saw her alpha standing there. "Danika?" She asked in disbelief. "Where are we?"

[mcrcki]

she had been without her pack for years now, and had played seeing any of them again over and over in their mind.. the apologies they would make, the forgiveness they craved but knew they didn't deserve.. but actually seeing any of her pack, the way zelda didn't seem absolutely terrified of her.. danika didn't quite know what to do with that. "hey, you're okay." she offered first, still keeping a safe distance in case zelda was rightfully pissed or scared. "we're in a different city, it's called washington."

[tragcdysewn]

closed starter for sophie hatter!! ( @mcrcki )

"i made tea, figured you'd like some." xiao lanhua hands the other a steaming cup, grinning brightly at her. "it's been a long day, we both needed it."

[mcrcki]

"that is exactly what i need right now." sophie smiled back at her friend, nearly hunched over on the stool behind the counter, propped up on their elbows. "i knew spring would bring in more customers, but a rush like that was definitely unexpected."

[lcngliive]

"elain, none of that was your fault and I don't blame you for any of it," he hated the thought of her blaming herself for what happened - no one could have predicted that something would have happened to her before they could have discovered the news together. but they weren't angry, far from it - a little sad perhaps, but never angry. "all that matters is we're together and happy now," he smiled. "she's a perfect mixture of us both,"

[mcrcki]

they were always almost too understanding, lucien had given her so much grace for everything.. even when elain didn't feel as though she deserved it. he had always been there, even when she pushed him away, and for that she was grateful. especially now when she blamed herself so deeply for how things had gone recently, that he had missed out on so many things with their child. "i know it wasn't my fault, but i still feel terrible for it." she admitted. "as long as she's happy and healthy, and we actually have our memories, nothing else really matters, does it?"

[lcngliive]

"feyre usually exaggerates things to an extent, I'm sure she was just worried, like I was." it had been a shock, learning that her sister was pregnant and didn't know who any of them were so there was no way for them to truly support her. "you can see some of lucien in her, but all I can see is you, she reminds me of when you were younger, when things were still simple," nesta blinked a few times, looking down at her niece and then back to her sister. "I don't think I've ever held a baby, I wouldn't know how,"

[mcrcki]

"i always appreciate how deeply you both care." even if things had been tense between the sisters at different times, it was always there. that care and love between them. they just struggled to show it as openly as they probably should, especially when things were difficult. "i suppose you'd have a better idea of what i looked like when i was that little.. i don't know if things were ever simple for us, but i think we're doing alright now." she laughed a little though, at the surprise in her sister's face. "you're telling me you never held feyre or i, not even once? though.. i suppose it would have been mother or father doing most of the support.. here, you just support her neck, sort of like making a cradle in your arms."

[oceanprose]

@mcrcki: for daniela dimistrescu.

"Are you hungry?" she asked, looking over at her sister with a brow rose. "I'm hungry," a giggle let out, her teeth captured her bottom lip as she teased the idea in her mind. "What do you say, Daniela? Should we play?"

[mcrcki]

"how can i say no to that offer." dani grinned back at her sister, relieved that cass was finally here. her and bela had their fun, sure, but she was far more pragmatic of them all, and cass would be more willing to go well.. a bit over the top like dani liked. "after you, sister."

[oceanprose]

@mcrcki: for victoria sutherland.

Fear. She knew it all too well. Having found herself dancing with death more than once, Bella learnt how to handle fear. Or, at least, they thought they did. When Bella had been approached by Victoria, her heart began to race. There might've been a line of sweat that dripped from her brow. They were unsafe here, that much was certain. "What do you want?" they asked, putting up their ground with as much mental strength that she possibly had.

[mcrcki]

oh now this was fun. god did they need this little pick me up of seeing darling bella here, and hearing that heart start to race.. that only made this that much more fun. she had known bella became a vampire eventually, but seeing that this city gave her a small treat of bringing her here from when she was still human? victoria couldn't pass up such a lovely gift. "sweet little bella," vic grinned, her voice melodic as she started to close the gap between them. "everyone always asks that, what do you want, why are you doing this.. i think you know the answers to those questions, babe."

[tragcdysewn]

"fuck, yeah there's... there's a whole lot, vi. i don't even know the full story for some of it." she admits, because really, there was so much of it that violet had been dealing with. and a lot of it was things that rhiannon just didn't have the answers for, as much as she disliked that. "yeah, that sounds about right. you and imogen are cool now, she got over the marked one sorrengail bullshit after xaden made her train you." and imogen was decently cool, they liked her well enough when they spent time together. "...yeah, that sounds like you two, actually. but yeah, they're real, and we're pretty much fully at war now. it's bad, vi."

[mcrcki]

"i swear to the gods, i need to start taking notes or something." how much was she missing if rhi didn't even know all of it.. gods, who even did? was she always going to be missing some pieces of her own history? she needed to figure out how to fix this, fix whatever block this magic put on her memories. she was tired of being in the dark. "she trained me? that feels like a complete personality shift from the last thing i remember with her.. guess us being friends that explains why she was so upset when i basically told her to fuck off before." if things had shifted so dramatically between them, she couldn't imagine what other friends she'd forgotten. "pulling knives on each other is normal for us still? even being married?" why didn't that surprise her all that much.. "great, cool.. does leadership know we're at war or are we like.. going fucking rogue here?"

[lcngliive]

"maybe that should have been the first port of call!" fern knew she was being slightly unreasonable, but she just wished that someone would have told her something. "it's not like you included me in that either," she rolled her eyes. "mason is always a fucking disaster! what's new?" she sighed. "I just wish that someone would have told me, I could have helped,"

[mcrcki]

"right! i know! and i'm sorry! it's not like i have a lot of experience of managing telling all your siblings we died and it's our brother's fault!" fuck if they were supposed to end up being the damn coven leader, they were not at all equipped for that job considering they couldn't even handle this well. "right but this was like a special circumstance." she added. "i know, i'm sorry, i just.. i thought i could handle everything on my own."

[mcrcki]

"can i ask you something?" elide had been lucky to find aelin when she did, needing some reassurance about this whole memories mess.. especially from a friend. she knew that she could talk to manon as well, but she was positive if she mentioned anything lorcan had said to them, lorcan's heart wouldn't be inside his body anymore..

@rcvcrics for aelin galathynius

[rcvcrics]

"i-yes?" aelin's brow rose, figuring this was one of the staff of her team. maybe press? could be legal? she wasn't fully up to date on all of the new hires for her team. figuring it wouldn't hurt to try and be helpful.

[mcrcki]

there wasn't the familiar look in aelin's eyes that elide had been hoping for.. something in the way her queen looked back at her that gave her enough pause not to continue.. if yet another person didn't remember her, she was certain she was going to go insane. "i apologize.. i.. do you not recognize me?"

[lcngliive]

mira sorrengail & violet sorrengail ( @mcrcki )

"wanna grab some lunch?" they asked, raising a brow at her sister. "I though you might appreciate something normal for once, rather than people bombarding you with shit you don't remember,"

[mcrcki]

"i would love that." violet felt her shoulders relax a little, relieved that her sister wasn't going to drop some bombshell information on her right now. "i feel like i'm at capacity for information right now. i don't know if i can take anymore life altering news."

[husk-gamblinman]

"Yeah, well, you're important to Anthony and people who are important to him are important to me. So, I should get to know ya better, If you'd like to that is... We've become family at that hotel and you're Anthony's family, so." He wasn't going to drop the knowledge of just how important Anthony was to him, but right now, Molly was the closest link to Angel he had. He gives a heavy sigh. "His memories are back now, more than they were before. He remembered more of the shit that went down before we came up here. He's pulling away to protect all of us. He's gonna come back."

[mcrcki]

"i would like that, yeah." knowing that anthony had this support from his friends, that they were so willing to take her into the fold as well.. molly wasn't going to pass up that opportunity to have some sort of family here. especially when their own family had been... well, nothing short of a disaster really. "he's pulling away? that.." that was always concerning to her, when he would be harder and harder to reach.. "i can try to talk to him for you, if you'd like? he might listen to me better than anyone else, it's worked occasionally in the past. you know how he can be though, sometimes he's too stubborn for his own good."
