trying my best

“ 𝐍𝐎, ” wendy stated as she simultaneously nodded her head yes , “ but you’d never hear the end of how you broke my heart and will have to work a lifetime to make it up to me. ” she fluttered her lashes as if to further her point, even it hadn’t had the same response as it did when she was a child; maybe it had been the flower clips and pigtails. “ so, do you want to help find potted flowers and carry them up to my apartment ? ” wendy left out the minor detail that marius also just volunteered to help care for a few of them. 

       a smirk pulled at his lips as he watched wendy. “ is that so? we can’t have that now can we? ” marius wasn’t one to ever turn down anything wendy asked of him but it had always been like that since they met. there may have been the added bonus that she always managed to make him smile as well “ i’m not sure i want to do that, ” he laughed. “ however, you’re my favourite so i’m going to do it. just don’t got spreading that around. ”

“ a new secretary, and a new advisor. you’re in a predicament. ” she almost felt for him. “ your advisor should be someone close enough to you that they wouldn’t be offended by your apparent mismanaged schedule. a family member, or family friend. someone who knows you, and isn’t afraid to tell you when you’re making an error in judgement. strangers can be intimidated by your influence. secretaries, well they come and go. a good one is a dime a dozen. ask people you know if they have someone they recommend for the role. ” 

       he didn’t like admitting he was new at things. it left him in  a vulnerable spot to be taken advantage of. “ so it would seem. you don’t have any tips for settling things do you? ” he asked in a joking manner. a yes, family. it would have been sound advice had he had a family member he could rely on for such a task. “ lucky for me i have time to figure it out i guess. at least until my coronation. i do appreciate your wisdom though. ”

       “ okay but do i have to come with you? ” marius groaned. he was being dramatic, as usual. he didn’t actually care what it was wendy was dragging him to this time, but that didn’t mean he didn’t like to bug her and drag his feet once in a while. “ we both know i’m going to, but do i have to? ” { @wcndv​ }

“Excuse me,” Noemí addressed the person several paces ahead of her, inclining her head towards what looked to be a credit card on the ground between them. “Is that yours?”

𝐎𝐏𝐄𝐍 for @hshqstarters​

    marius turned around, a confused look on his face as he reached into the pocket of his coat. “ well, shit. it just might be, ” he laughed, opening the left side to reveal the hole at the bottom of his coat. “ you just saved me a lot of hassle. ”

mwczi​:

she closed her laptop and tangled her fingers together, her eyes still pinned on the boy in front of her. “ sounds like you need a better secretary. who was it you were supposed to meet ? ”

       “ yeah, ” he muttered. unfortunately for marius, this hadn’t been the first mistake made and as much as he liked to give people the benefit, this was inexcusable. “ i was suppose to be interviewing my new advisor. now i’m back at square one. ”

niara raised her eyes to the person standing by her table in the small café, before shaking her head at the question posed. “ i think you have me confused with someone else. perhaps you’ve mixed your times up. ” 

[mvriius]

       marius frowned at the words, pulling out his phone to double check the note about his appointment. “ shit, ” he mumbled before turning his attention back to the woman sitting at the table. “ apparently my secretary sent me the wrong date. my meeting was suppose to be yesterday. ”

❛   i’d wager they might have. the alternative would mean the people who plan these things are completely and utterly incompetent. the saving grace of this is japan is acclaimed for their response and recovery systems. i am keen to see how they do it.   ❜

       “ well i’m sure if it’s something they’re used to then i would hope they’ve found a way to make the most of it, ” marius muttered. but he had heard rave reviews about japan and a change in scenery was always a nice little bonus. “ i am curious how they decide where to relocate everyone. wasn’t it phucket before mar del plata? ”

❝ As if we could have lived in the same apartment. This is not friends. ❞ What a dreadful thought. ❝ Tokyo has all the commodities. I like it better. ❞ It was less familiar than south america but she could get by just fine. ❝ As for the imperial family. I am curious to met them. ❞

       “ i don’t know, i liked how it was at the resort before everything. not that i got to enjoy it for very long, ” he laughed. “ i do like how convenient everything here is. i wanted a snack and stopped to get a corndog and the ketchup and mustard were in the same package and you just squeeze it together. going home might be an adjustment. ” marius didn’t know what it was but he liked the small things that japan had to offer them thus far. “ i wonder if that means we’ll finally see them around. or if they’ll just stay in the background of it all. ”

❛ i see the program is invested in making all the casualties confront their trauma head - on. this city is directly over a fault line and japan is one of the most tremor prone places in the world. at least their warning, mitigation and response protocol is sound, i have read.❜    the situation in argentina had been complete disarray and chaos. unacceptable in his book.  /.  @hshqstarters​

       marius’ interest had been piqued at the fact. it hadn’t even crossed his mind that the possibility of another earthquake hitting in tokyo higher than in argentina. “ well, shit, ” he muttered. “ do you think they did research before they decided to relocate? i mean they didn’t bring us here purposely because of the earthquakes, right? ”

[mvriius]

hrhjoanne​:

❝ So after we were hit by a earthquake in Argentina, they relocated us to a country with a notorious high seismicity. How ironic. The Japanese imperial family must have pulled some strings. ❞ ( @hshqstarters​​ )

       “ i like the sound of that then the alternative, ” marius mused, turning to look at joanne. “ well, considering they gave everyone their own apartment, i’m sure it was a very hefty handful of strings. ”

[mvriius]

       “ do we know how many have made it back ? or if anyone has made it back ? ” marius asked as he looked around, trying to still wrap his head around what was going on. “ god this is such a SHIT SHOW. ” { search group 2 / @hshqstarters​ }

——  @hshqstarters  /  wine tasting

There were many words that could be used to describe Areum  ( ranging from polite to decidedly less so ),  but one was certainly not outdoorsy. The current activity was much more to her liking, and she swirled the wine in her glass a moment longer before taking a sip.  “What has been your favorite wine so far? I quite enjoyed the Malbec.”

       “ i quite liked the zinfandel, but the malbec wasn’t the worst, ” marius replied as he lifted his glass of wine a bit higher than eye level to inspect the current glass he had. “ this riesling, though, is not comparable. ”

[mvriius]

       looking around, marius couldn’t help his mouth from watering. perhaps it was not having eaten since breakfast or maybe it was because the thought of food was making him hungry. “ do you think they’ll show us how to make empanadas? or dulce de leche? ” { @laylabahiti​ }

[mvriius]

       marius stared into the glass of pinot noir as he swirled it around. “ this, this is what i left romania to come to? wine tasting and arts and crafts? ” he took a sip of the airyated wine and shook his head. “ what’s next? scuba diving in australia? ” { @krstoffcrs​ }

“Oddly enough, it’s been a while since I last I ate.” She normally kept up a set schedule when it came to meals but lately she’d been slipping. “I could do with some catching up. I’m not sure if I even remember stuff about you anymore.”

       “Well, lets change that.” There was a small twinge on the left side of his chest where his heart was. He wanted to make a small joke about making her eat more but he wasn’t her boyfriend anymore. “It’s not like anything exciting has happened since last we spoke.”

“ how are things in romania ? i imagine it’s been pretty hectic as of late. ” and nike was about to make sure that the fresh crown prince wouldn’t run out of things to deal with. “ imagine if we bordered each other. we’d accomplish so much. alas, there’s bulgaria. ”

        “It feels like things never want to end,” he said with a slight groan. The small bit of guilt quickly dissipated as he turned his head to give Nike a small but tight smile. “What is it exactly you’re suggesting?”

— open ! ( @hshqstarters​ )

“ is it inappropriate to want to be drunk out of my mind before i have to try and be social? ” it’s a rhetorical question more than anything– delivered alongside a crooked smile that might be considered more lopsided than anything. she’ll blame it on whatever it is she’s talked the bartender into providing her with; she’s never been one for official meetings and she’s half-prepared to burn any bridges her parents have constructed for her whether by accident or choice but katye’s content to hide from the rest of the royal population at the bar ; even if she’s convinced her isolation won’t last forever – at least she’ll be drunk when old friends and passing acquaintances come calling.

       “If you’re drinking alone, then yes, it’s inappropriate,” Marius mused, looking over from his own drink. Not that he had been intending to get drunk with the hops of being social. “But you didn’t want a real answer to that, did you?” He turned slightly and offered her a smile as he tilted his half empty glass towards her. “To putting off whatever it is you’re trying to avoid.”
