“All struggles make ya stronger, it jus’ depends on how long you suffer with that struggle.” He said, knowing he had his own personal one that he knew was ridiculous but he was having the most trouble moving past it. He honestly just didn’t know where to start, really, on how to get past it. Holding out his hand and manifesting a plate of different types of cupcakes, he smiled to her with a nod. “I don’t really know what sweets you like so I picked this variety of cupcakes.”

[mimingmisspeyton-blog]

"And the severity of the struggle I suppose... but I’d rather have managed to go my life without this...” She sighed gently. Sure she’d be okay, eventually but it still was fresh and still stung. Peyton’s jaw dropped when the cupcakes appeared in his hand and she just looked at him, then down to the cupcakes a few times. “That is... brilliant...” A smile graced her lips and she reached out picking a cupcake a random. “I’m not picky when it comes to sweets... this looks amazing.”

“It will get tiring. But it gets easier, eventually,” she said with a tired shrug, her mind still plagued with images of her family’s demise. It seemed as if tragedy was not done following her, especially after what the hunters had done to her new home. “My leg is hurt. I don’t know what it is, though,” she said, looking to her leg. She had probably made it worse because of how much she had been on it. But Maia had never been the type of woman to stand still when things were doing down. “I’ll be fine once I see Ada.”

[mimingmisspeyton-blog]

Peyton nodded. “At least the cirque has each other.” She nodded gently, there were many who wouldn’t turn her away if she went to them needing someone. There maybe be some who would but she didn’t think, after all this it was the majority. They would all seek solace in one another.  “Can I help you there? It’ll probably feel better if I help you balance the weight a bit- I’d... I’d like something to do, if you’d be willing..." She didn’t go into details of`how, for her, helping others was a coping mechanism. Of how it would help her find some stability if she could maybe find some ground to be able to start cheering others up, since that was her usual plan of action anyway.

Lil’s chewing only continued for a few seconds longer before Eli came to her senses and sensitive ears caught the sound. A quick look and click of her tongue was all it took for the pup to stop, huff, and rest her muzzle on her bandaged paw like a scolded toddler. With her attention on the canine it took a moment before she abruptly turned towards the other moments after her question registered.

“Um…Silver. Silver with thread through the keyhole.  I–I can’t remember if I put it under a rock or something else. I could break the door in, but…” She sighed and turned onto her knees, still searching around their area for the item. “I still haven’t gone to see Ada, I don’t know how bad anything is…Have you seen her yet?”

[mimingmisspeyton-blog]

Peyton couldn’t help but chuckle ever so slightly at the way the pup reacted to being told no. The way it rested it’s head on it’s paw and listed was far too cute for Peyton to just ignore.  Maybe she’d get a pet after all this, a bit guard dog. Or maybe just a small bird that could fly the outskirts and warn them. Something to keep her company.

“Silver. Got it.” She nodded in understanding and went back to looking, plucking rocks large enough for a key up from the ground. “I haven’t... but I’m... okay. I figure it’s best to let her care for those in worse shape.” Not that she thought she’d be put ahead of those who needed her but she wasn’t too bad off. “I just have a few bruises... and a cough but I’ll be okay a little longer.” Okay so she had a pretty bad cough that broke through now and again but she wasn’t lying about being okay long enough to let the area thin of people first.

“If you keep dwelling on it, you’ll never move on.” The voice that spoke the words came softy, only just above the brush of a whisper as his eyes took to skimming over her frame. “I’m fine, I’m fine. How’re you? Have you seen a doctor yet?” The question was accompanied by raised eyebrows, though other than that, his face held little expression.

[mimingmisspeyton-blog]

"I know... it’s just... it’s hard... I’ll get over it thought- it’s still... there. Like... right there.” She motioned in front of her , though meaning more that it was a recent memory. “I haven’t- I’m just bruised, I think I’m okay...” Though her voice was a bit raspy and her words followed by a small coughing fit. “And I have a bit of a cough but I’ll live.”

She smiled at the girl as she could tell she was smiling. Hopefully sharing a smile would make her feel better, at least a little bit. Aja knew that she was generally always in a good mood and even with what had happened, she still tried to be. “Oh yes, absolutely! It’ll be lots of fun, I promise.” Holding out her hand, she bounced slightly in her spot. “What kind of make up do you want? I can make little designs on your face, ooh, or I could make you all super colorful everywhere. Like a rainbow! Or I could make you into a fairy princess and put wings on your face. I have lots of glitter.” Aja knew she got too excited about make up sometimes, but she couldn’t help it. It was just so pretty.

[mimingmisspeyton-blog]

"What do you suggest? I do eyeliner and blush with lip gloss on a good off day... otherwise my face is kind covered in mime make up... What would be the most fun? I think I like the idea of glitter in it though... this place could use a little sparkle!” And everyone knows when there’s a little glitter there’s  alot of glitter that just doesn’t seem to go away, at least for some period of time. Glitter was always something amusing and pleasant to her... glitter was fun, which was exactly what she needed right now. Plus- they could laugh as it tainted her clothing and hair like it always seemed to do.

“You move on by seein’ that your struggles make ya stronger. That’s how I’m gettin’ through it. I mean, think about it. If those three guys didn’t take down the Hunters, if they didn’t work together, this place would’ve been in shambles.” He told her, nipping his bottom lip. “You need anythin’? I could get you some sweets or somethin’ to cheer you up?”

[mimingmisspeyton-blog]

"Do all struggles make you stronger? Or do people just say that to get through? I realized during this I’ve had a bit of an easy life.” She wasn’t bitter about that, but she did wish it could have lasted a bit longer. “I could go for something sweet I think.”

[merle-de-le-obscurite]

“We’ll all relax again, Peyton. It won’t take too long to do so. We just gotta help those who were tortured so they can sleep at night.” Merle told her, placing a hand on her shoulder in comfort. He was an absolute mess of mud, bruises, scrapes, and now a wrapped wrist. “You need any help, ma cherie?”

[mimingmisspeyton-blog]

"Thank you Merle... I just... I don’t- I’ve never been through anything like that. My powers came fairly quietly...” A smile tugged gently at the corners of her lips at her own joke. “I never had anything... like that.” She was in similar shape, minus the wrist of course. She’d been hiding out, int he storm, but she was over all fairly hole. “I’ll be alright... I just- don’t think I want to be alone at the moment.” Or did she? She wasn’t sure, but it was probably better to have someone else around. “Are yo okay? Do you need anything?” Her eyes turned to him, she was used to trying to make others smile, that was what leveled her out most of all.

The vampire happened to be covered in multiple bandages, having been burnt too much by the array of silver chains over the past two weeks. He weakly stumbled past until he caught to faint voice. “Just be thankful it’s over, it could’ve gone a lot worse than it did. That’s all you need to think about.”

[mimingmisspeyton-blog]

"That... that’s a good point.” She agreed quietly. “They’re gone, it’s over. You’re right.” She sighed, taking a breath just to make herself pause and dwell on those thoughts. He was clearly worse off than her, though she wasn’t cup to par by far... He looked more damaged. “Are you going to be okay? Do you need any help?” Instantly she shifted, from whatever hole of pity she’d been in to concern over the man.

Lil would have alerted to the approaching company if she hadn’t preoccupied herself by licking her bandaged paw, effectively trying to undo where it was secured so she could chew on it before she’d be caught. Eli jumped while half-way under the caravan and withdrew herself with a soft yelp. Her attention turned quickly to the other woman and she rubbed at the back of her head to ease the new and sudden sting. “My–My key? I couldn’t find my spare. My door is locked and Lil—-Lil just wanted some toys.” The latter of the statement was partially true. Eliana wanted inside of what she would call her home so she could re-lock the door and hide from the world as it repaired itself.

[mimingmisspeyton-blog]

Peyton nodded, and though a bit bruised and achey she gently dipped to her knees to help the other woman find her key.·“I think we all want a toy, or a bed... I can’t blame her.” She laughed gently. She understood. Peyton wasn’t really sure what she wanted. A part of her wanted to curl up in a ball and hide away, another part wanted to surround herself with the people who could make her laugh and smile. So, for the time being she let Eli and Lil and her lost key be the distraction she needed to bring her thoughts away from the previous events. It could be a small distraction, but it would work for now.·“Is it gold or silver?”

[ajatheangel-deactivated20250524]

Aja shrugged her shoulders, fiddling with her hands. Her voice was soft as she spoke. “I don’t know. It’s going to be hard, but we’re going to have to do it and I know that you’re going to be okay. We’re in a beautiful magical city and there are so many wonderful things to explore.” A smile grew across her face as she looked at the girl. “I can put some colorful make up on you and you can go out and have fun in the city for a distraction if you want?”

[mimingmisspeyton-blog]

Just hearing the other woman’s reassurance brought hope to Peyton. It was enough to give her something to hold onto. If osmeone else could smile, than certainly she could. Already a smile tugged lightly at her lips at the suggestion and she nodded. “I’d like that, I rarely do anything but costume make up. It’d be fun, I’m sure we could both use it, right?” She finally offered a soft, yet complete smile graced her features. Hoping Aja actually wanted to do it.

[the-snake-queen]

“Not for a long time,” she said, slowing down before stopping completely as she had been limping past the woman. Maia remembered the earthquake that had destroyed her home and family, how she hadn’t been able to keep from tensing when even just a large truck rumbled past her. “You’ll be looking over your shoulder constantly.”

[mimingmisspeyton-blog]

“That’s going to get.... tiring... I don’t know.” A small part of her said she should just head home. That she should just leave the cirque. But she was too attached. She couldn’t just leave, she couldn't’ just leave all these amazing people behind. Even if she wasn’t much help, she could try her best to help protect them. “Are you okay? Do you need any help?” She was a bit run down... but she was over all okay and was worried about others.

[mimingmisspeyton-blog]

“How do you even... move on after something like that...? Will I ever... relax again?” She wasn’t really speaking to anyone in particular but her eyes brushed past anyone nearby who might maybe be able to reassure her that things would be alright.

[eliana-gonzalez-blog]

Eli had just finished meeting with Ada as instructed and hesitantly made her way towards her caravan. Lil was still in her arms, the exhausted pup holding a wrapped paw close. The werewolf stopped outside of her caravan and looked around, sighing softly as Lil whimpered. “It’s okay, we’re home now. We’re safe,” Eli cooed and went to enter the home but was stopped by the locked door. After another sigh she placed Lil down gently and began to scrounge around on the ground, peering under the steps and parts of her caravan the best she could. “If I were a spare key, where would I be…”

[mimingmisspeyton-blog]

She’d been to get checked out and released some time ago, it wasn’t bad. She was bruised, and bumped and a little sore but she would survive. She was headed back to her caravan, which had been a little roughed up but was whole last she knew when she spotted someone crawling on the ground. “Do you need help finding something?” She called out, she’d felt fairly useless the whole time and still wasn’t her usual peppy self... but maybe she could help out here.

[merle-de-le-obscurite]

“Firs’ we’re stuck ou’ he’e, nex’ thin’ is a sto’m? Fuck m’ life!”

[mimingmisspeyton-blog]

"Hey... It’s okay, we’ll make it through this. It sucks... but we’ll make it through.”

[faithraines]

“No, no, it’s fine.” Hadley managed a small smile and tried to take a deep breth, but she started coughing again, “What’s important is finding shelter. And other people from the cirque. Then I can…My injuries don’t matter right now.” She pressed her hands into the ground for a few moments, “Is there anywhere sheltered nearby?”

[mimingmisspeyton-blog]

She nodded, understanding the other girl’s mentality. If it wasn’t necessary, then it could wait. They had other things that needed taking care of. Like the shelter that Hadley brought up. “I don’t know... I haven’t had much of a chance to explore the area I’m afraid...” She might start scouting places for outside shelter and hiding spots after this though.

After almost coughing up her stomach contents Hadley could make out a voice through all the confusion, she looked up from where she was on the ground until she spotted the blonde not too far away, she was about to reply that she was fine until she looked down to see several cuts on her arms and legs,“I–” She coughed again and knelt on the ground comfortably,“I’ll be fine I’m sure just…just a few cuts.”

"I’m sorry.” Peyton had absolutely no hand in making these injuries for the othe woman, or herself, but she still felt bad. Her voice felt raspy and sounded as dry as it felt. “If you need any help-” She paused for a coughing fit that made her lungs and stomach muscles ache. “Let me know... I might not be much help. But I can-” A few more, less painful coughs broke in between words. “try.”

“They had the advantage. It wasn’t an even fight.” Everly snarled as she imagined leaving them all lost in a body they were unable to move. “They used fucking holy water on me.”

"That’s true... I’m surprised I made it out here...” She sighed. She was glad she did mind you. Do you think there’s a way in?” She might not be able to fight well, but she’d fought with her brothers. She’d run a lot and surfed. She wasn’t totally unarmed. She’d make do. Plus- if they could get in she could ensure no one heard them before they wanted them to. That would be a plus.
