If things go right? In my grave. Where Todd will bring me a five-piece chicken tenders box combo every other Monday, while he cries over how boring his life has become. (ย @t0ddtย )
@aleksanderorionnย and @collicr are like, textbook definition of hot. Plainly obvious. @chvddsโs eyes? Real sapphires.ย Oh, and donโt even get me started onย @ofhenrychoi. Everything about that man is damn beautiful.
it had been a good night for evita. she had managed to get her drawing submitted to her lecturer before midnight and to celebrate she had put on a pretty dress and charmed her way into a swanky cocktail party. taking a complementary bottle of champagne she had hidden herself away in place she thought quite concealed, but just as she managed to pop the cork, she was discovered.ย โah, shit.โ she paused, only slightly embarrassed.ย โiโll share?โ
The Xhaferi had been stood outside the venue for no longer than ten minutes, already working at prying off Edenโs ostentatious jewelry. She felt like a goddamn Christmas tree. A quick swipe of the barrette out of her hair allows her to shake raven locks free from what felt like temporary imprisonment. Eyes land on a familiar petite figure emerging from double doors. โA bottle of Moรซt? Not bad, Bennet. You hiding me my ticket to the clouds in there too?โ E looked like sheโd just stepped out of a dreamย โ in comparison to the pink, frilly nightmare Atlas had thrown on as a fucking joke. She never really did those cocktail parties that looked like it was actually disguised as some shitty charity gala. Too many formalities, too little time.ย A hand now gracelessly digs into one side of her bra, as she mirrors the dirty look of a passer-by.ย โYou know Iโve already pocketed an iPhone 5 and a shitty purple Android?โ Lapsing into a mock pout like she was overwhelmed with despair, she plucked the bottle from Eโs hand for a quick swig. She was gonna need more than just champagne for the shoe bites to come. โPeople are so stupid.โ
class was pretty annoying today and he really tried his best to get out of there as quickly as he could so he did, pushing past the people in the lecture hall and through the doors with a resting bitch gaze on his face he walked down the steps with his head down as he turned the corner and slammed right into the person in front of him, not even really paying attention to where he was going. his cheeks turned a bright red as he gripped tightly onto the strap of his bag, so tightly that you could almost see the veinsย popping out on his skin and awkwardly rubbed the back of his neck.ย โuhโ crap uhโ sorry, i sh- should have paid attention to where i was going.โ god luke, could you sound any more stupid while youโre talking? he thought to himself as he took a deep breath before taking a step back to give them space.ย โa- are you okay? i didnโt uhโ hurt you or anything did i?โย
Chocolate eyes blink up at the male, who seemingly had just enough common sense to step back before sheโd shoved him away herself. Manicured hand catches her phone before it hits white tile with a crack, before Atlas cuts off half-hearted apologies from the other with a harmony of her own. โUh? Uh. Uhhh.ย Are you beginning an acapella session I was unaware of?โ A tight-lipped smile begins to grace the lower half of her features. Psychotic. โWhat am I supposed to say? Ah? Ooh ooh? Ting tang walla walla bing bang?โ
An eager nod of the head, a confirmation of some sort, that yes, there is in fact a brilliant reason for them to get out of there as fast as possible. But Todd never gets to the whole explanation part, as before he knows, theyโre face to face with upcoming trouble. And so, he doesnโt say a word. Skinny arms dangle awkwardly at his sides, what appears to be rather neutral, yet worried gaze moves from the girl to the gang. Her words are not helping the situation in any way, he quickly realizes.ย โNo. No. Donโtโย ย shh. Stop.โ he attempts, but itโs soon pretty clear that he doesnโt have much to say in this very matter โ nothing that could be found valuable. The man seems even less amused than before, his glare full of hatred, fists clenched.ย โDโya think this is funny?โ man, heโs really doing his best to sound threatening.ย โNo! No, Sir. Not at all, I guarantee. Not even slightly amusing..โ Todd begins, the delusional part of him hoping this will just about do the job, but things go a bit out of hand when the manโs eyes rest on him. He doesnโt have the time to process this. A hand grabs him by the collar of the floral shirt, violent yank, and heโs suddenly all up in the predatorโs face. He gasps, because, at this point, there isnโt much else he can offer. A set of violently structured sentences is thrown his way, nothing he can particularly focus on, before this huge, Hulk-sized creature headbutts him, with what Todd believes is superhuman strength. Heโs shoved to the floor, a shaky hand finding its way to cover the already bleeding nose.ย
No. No. Donโtโ ย shh. Stop.
Over the music, Atlas somehow still hears a slow thud upon watching Toddโs body meet the bar floor. Heโs seemingly taken by surprise โ but the ever-present glaze over his eyes shows no higher level of shock than the brunetteโs jaw hanging wide open at the scene in front of her. Without further deliberation or much rational thought, the Albanian lets out her loudest Spartan cry before charging across the length of the table and practically leaping onto her new targetโs back. Fists are flying, and angry grunts leave pink lips as she now goes to blindly yank on some hair โ oh wait. Hands awkwardly ghost over a polished head for a beat. Sheโs never fought a bald person before. Dammit, Atlas. Grab something, fast! Her fishnet knees secure themselves at her preyโs sides, arms instinctively looping around his neck into a chokehold. Now, in other circumstances, the move wouldโve worked its magic just seconds in. But also in all said circumstances, sheโd never had to face an opponent nearly twice her size before. Forearms begin to wrangle wildly around the manโs tree stump of a neck as sheโs noticed heโs finally grasped the situation. Hulk hands begin to pry at skinny wrists, and the girl realizes there isnโt much time before heโd fling her off like some battered rag doll. It only takes a few tries before he finally has the common sense to reach up towards her face. An open palm swings higher up, and thick, nicotine-scented digits graze locks of her hair. Eyes fly wide at the attempt as she ducks left. Close one. Her gaze desperately darts around the reachable vicinity for somethingโฆ anything!ย Dark hues through stray raven locks ultimately land on her poor fellow band member, who was just starting to recollect himself off the dirty floor. Had her tresses been any longer, and sheโd looked like she just climbed out of a well. An upright palm pleadingly reaches out in his direction, as thick brows knit closer in anticipation. โTodd, quick! Beer me!โ
Turning away from the bar with a small smile, heโs more than ready to have a seat and enjoy yet another cocktail with his companion. Two glasses, one in each hand, careful but confident steps as he heads towards the crowd. But things go out of hand at the speed of light, when his slightly intoxicated, clumsy self bumps into some girl. The liquid is spilled all over the floor, her clothes, God knows what else. His dreams of a positive night are thrown out the window when his quick apologies are interrupted by a guy twice his size. Todd believes his pupils grew a noticeable amount, his face pale, but the fear doesnโt feel as intense as it should. The big man is arguing, and at this point Todd has dropped the other glass, as well.ย โSir, Iโm sorry. Iโm very sorryโโโ but nothing he says seems to be put into consideration. So, he manages an awkward, apologetic smile and hurries away. With his head down, he heads towards where sheโs sat, leaning over the table to update her on the situation.ย โChange of plans.โ is the first thing he manages, his gaze moving to the group of people, who seem to be approaching. Thatโs not good.ย โWe should go.โ he nearlyย begs.ย
โDid it hurt when you fell from heaven?โ was all it took a lanky bar patron to leer down at Atlas before she was resisting the urge to outright wretch into her hand just for the theatrical effect of it all. Chocolate hues narrowed significantly as she eyed him in the silence that followed. โNo, but I actually did break my collarbone when I burst through the earthโs crust a hundred miles an hour, ascending from the deepest depths of hell. Painful.โย A manicured hand shot up much like a traffic warden halting vehicles just when he opened his mouth to speak again. Eyes flit over the bar crowd, before landing on a familiar messy head of hair. โI wouldnโt waste my time. Iโve already got a conquest lined up, actually, and heโs promised to sensually whisper the entire Bee Movie script between my thighs while wearing the matching costume to bed tonight. Do tell, could you possibly have a more enticing offer for me?โ Two innocent bats of her lashes, before she concludes giving the male further attention. A tangle of gangly limbs tucked into themselves comes to her rescue, much like a dog with its tail between its legs. Atlas wouldโve found the humor in the moment, hadnโt she been waiting ten minutes for her company just to arrive back without any drinks. Itโs still one disaster averted, seeing that the creepy stranger had evacuated the premises upon the keyboardistโs arrival. Nothing more than a gruff exhale now to tut at empty hands. โTodd.ย If I wanted someone to disappoint me tonight, I wouldโve long left you behind for that,โ an effortless gesture is tossed towards the direction the patron had disappeared off into for the night.
Change of plans.
โChange of โ ? Oh, there better be a good explanation to this.โ Reprimanding tone dissipates as her attention follows the otherโs to an approaching group. There was a particularly disgruntled male who stood tall at the front. His scowl matched that of her drug dealerโs, when she for the second time in a week refused to bring him enough money. Street bargains, and all. As her thoughts wander, so does the gravity of the situation. โSโthat your dealer? Look at you, coming through with a baggie before our show! Is this your way of making it up to me?โย Atlas finally pops up from her seat before tossing another shameless once-over at the stocky-shouldered stranger. Big, crossed arms.ย Shaved head. He looks livid. Brunette tips her head inquisitively at a far-from-complacent visage. โHuh. Didnโt peg you to cuff a Walmart-brand Vin Diesel, Turner. But, to each their own.โ
โ have you seen atlas xhaferi, the astronomy student around oxford yet ? i hear they can be rambunctious and carefree, but those who know them insist theyโre reminded of neon lights reflected on a rainy road, eccentric clothes, chipped black nail polish, paint strewn on combat boots, and blurry polaroids when theyโre around. rumour has it that sheโs impersonating her missing twin to attend oxford. is it true ? only time will tellโฆ
hey hi iโm also lacey (finger guns the other lacey in this group) but u can call me lace or mr. steal yo girl cos i will respond 2 both
slaps down this horribly written intro while i am? wildly hungover so pray 4 me plz
background shit
atlas and artemis were twins of an albanian father and a greek mother.
contrary to their names, atlas became the louder, bitchier and social twin while artemis stuck to what she knew best โ laying low and keeping to herself.
artemis admired atlas because looking at her was like looking in a mirror โ no, better โ it was reflecting on someone she couldโve been or one day could be. more talented. more popular. justโฆ more. (probably gna write some cool diary entries on this oOOoo)
while sheโs covering for atlas one night (while she snuck off on a trip with some people she met at a bar), therefore pretending to be her, she experiences more things in one night than she had in her entire life.
with the help of eden, her new (and literal) partner in crime, she now attends oxford university under her siblingโs identity. itโs not quite yet defined what exactly happened, but still working out the kinks so bear with me folks !
on to the good stuff
she will
get into bar fights
pull pranks on the other students
probably whisk you away on an adventure or two if you let her
pick on you. a lot
always be down to drink and party
kind of reckless? doesnโt respond to authority well two times out of three, i guess it depends who sheโs speaking to
tends to be stubborn and childish if she doesnโt get her way. HATES being restricted more than anything
probably be all over bad ideas if you have any
usually means well bt..
charlie from itโs always sunny vc: WILDCARD BITCHES !
long story short if you watch a lot of tv think the personality child of nick miller and chloe from donโt trust the b
so yeah thatโs about it
i think
beep boop
i clearly donโt know what iโm doing
some random hcs to get a better feel of her character:
sheโd totally chew on her burger obnoxiously or sip an emptied drink to make that annoying sound while looking you dead in the eye to piss you off
like that
so therefore maybe not the most graceful presence either
she loves to paint. like LOVES to paint. she thinks sheโs really good at it too, but sheโs actually not. you can totally take this and run with it
the same applies to cooking. if she bakes you a cake itโs in your best interest to decline the gesture because she probably tossed soy sauce and more mystery ingredients somewhere in there to add an extra โzingโ
the one thing sheโs actually good at/serious about is playing the bass. she named him sid and she loves sid more than she loves anything else. sheโs still picking up on little tricks and techniques in her free time, but sheโs a damn good bassist.
she totally has a weird obsession with fire. like she watched that part in the breakfast club where he lights his boot on fire and does it too now โcause it just looks cool. john bender? her god
as previously mentioned, she always means well but probably just stirs up more trouble or goes about touchy/sensitive issues the wrong way
some wanted connections brewin about (iโll totally make a stats and wcs page later bt yaaa)
someone she gets high with, someone she drinks with. parties with. you know the works
someone she unwillingly drags with on adventures โ like she knows they donโt want any part of it and they probably complain the whole time too but they stick around anyway
her rock? someone who keeps her out of trouble (more so than she already gets herself into ig jkdlsfd) and is like. a good influence in some way
ppl she hates/ticks off
nd the optional addition of someone she has slept with or has sexual tension with?? bow chicka wowWOW
oh oh pretty please give me someone whoโs like. over her shit and just picks her up and drags her out of bar fights because she will be getting into pLenty
maybe some plots regarding her twin?
someone who knew her twin, or even dated her twin, maybe. preferably from like high school, or something. still kinda flexible about where she comes from, so maybe we can work out back stories and shit
someone who was close to either one of them that can tell somethingโs off with atlas
or even BETTER
someone who had a thing with/dated Artie (Artemis) before the whole switcharoo and maybe even fooled around with the other twin during this time? could call for some SERIOUS dramz once she finds out as Atlas now
wow lace stop bein extra
cOOL SO
feel free to click that โค or shoot me a message on discord @ mr. steal yo girl#2180 if youโd like to plot!!
