@lavendaers: for sophie baek.
He hurried along the sidewalk, donned in an outfit that’d be an immediate approval for the century in which he was growing accustomed to. Washington D.C. was a strange city. Much more modern than from that Benedict grew up in. He adjusted, or well, continued to try to adjust to the normality of it all in small doses. There were no carriages, but rather cars. No letters but phones. The change was erupt and sudden. What tolled on him, however, had been the fact he had woken up in the town without his wife. Like a faded memory, now, he searched for her—an ache in his soul, again.
Attempting to cross the street, he looked over, across the way, to see that familiar face. Though, he’d been wrong before, only glancing past someone who might’ve looked like her and enduring a brief embarrassment. This time? He was fairly certain. So, he adjusted his path and moved across the street.
“Sophie!” he called out, arm reaching out as if to grab her as he desperately tried to signal to her that it was him, her husband. A car came to a sudden halt and its driver pressed down on the steering wheel, honking at Benedict in anger. “Sorry, I—” though, his focus returned to his wife. “Sophie. I’ve found you.”
Was that [LUKE THOMPSON]? Oh no no, that was just [BENEDICT BRIDGERTON], a [CANON CHARACTER] from [BRIDGERTON]. They are [THIRTY-SIX] years old, use [HE/HIM], and [ARE] aware that they are not actually from Washington DC. Too bad they can’t stray from this city for long.
@wvsteria: for max mayfield.
A smile came to her expression at the sight of their old friend. "Max," she stated, but remained a but unsure of her memory state. Upon arriving to DC, she found that some resident's memories were altered in an odd way and, with luck, El's had remained intact. "It's good to see you," still, that smile kept itself upward and they took a slow step forward. All El wanted to do was hug Max, their best friend, but had restraint.
Was that [ALBA BAPTISTA]? Oh no no, that was just [JANE "EL" HOPPER], a [CANON CHARACTER] from [STRANGER THINGS]. They are [TWENTY] years old, use [SHE/THEY], and [ARE] aware that they are not actually from Washington DC. Too bad they can’t stray from this city for long.

aeris was starting to get used to things around here. at least the boring lame people that tended to be around all the time. she found it way more interesting when she ran into someone that actually was different. powerful. and with the familiar but new force sensed in the city, aeris went out looking for who it belonged to. pleasantly surprised to see it was someone they knew. "not paying attention to your surroundings, huh?" she teased with a raised eyebrow at the younger girl. it was still strange to them sometimes that she'd chosen to follow her, but she respected her choice.
Althea knew exactly what she did when following Aeris, she'd never take back her actions. She admired the her Master, that much was obvious. When they spoke, there was a chuckle, a real one, and a smile that lingered. "I've always been bad about that," she spoke honestly, not denying the faults. She looked straight ahead, never around her despite how dangerous that could be. Right now? It was in her favor. "I had no kriffing idea you were here," she spoke in surprise, but there was a joyfulness there. "You've missed me, hm?"
@oceanprose | Dwight & Lucy.
Dwight had been spending a lot of time with Lucy lately -- and it was refreshing, to be this close with someone again. There were a lot of things he liked about her, including the way her dimples showed when she smiled at him. He wasn't one to tease too much, though, considering there was plenty to tease him about. "You want to get a beer with me?" He asks her, "Do you even like beer? I mean, it's kind of an acquired taste, not gonna lie."
"I would love to get a beer with you!" She replied, that dimply smile followed. In truth, Lucy hadn't expected to like Dwight as much as she did. It wasn't in her agenda to meet someone, not with her busy lifestyle but she made time for him. He was worth it. "I don't think I've ever actually have had a beer before," that was enough to cause a little chuckle, a little embarrassed by her lack of experience with alcohol. "So, it's gross? Beer? That doesn't help sell me on the idea, you know."
@oceanprose --- lyla and tara
"are you on shift with me today?" lyla questioned to the other as she gave a soft smile. she enjoyed when new people came in to the station and she got to teach and work alongside them. it brought her a certain sense of joy. "i promise i'll be the best teacher you've had so far."
"I am, yes!" she said rather enthusiastically, quite excited to be at work. Tara enjoyed the occupation that she was learning, now. It was a lot of work, but it was something that she was passionate about. Immensely. "Yeah? The best teacher?" she couldn't help but to laugh, feeling thrilled to work with the other. A hand extended as she began to introduce herself, "I'm Tara. It's wonderful to meet you."
"mama?" hyacinth was taken by surprise. she looked younger than hyacinth remembered her to be, yet even still she could recognize her mother anywhere. without hesitation she ran forward to wrap her arms around the other. "half a year, mama. we seem to all be here. though... i must warn you that some of us have a little quirk going on right now."
She, of course, hugged her daughter back in a tight embrace. "Oh, how I've missed you," Violet said, a smile give to her youngest girl once they've pulled away. "Half a year? Wow," she couldn't help but to sigh, feeling bad for not being in DC any sooner than now. It was comforting to know that she wasn't alone and all of her children seemed to be in the city. "A little quirk? You may have to elaborate, dear. I've only seem to run into you and Benedict.. and, well, you seem fine as ever."
@oceanprose | Gwayne & Helaena.
"Niece, it is good to see you." Gwayne smiles softly, "I do hope you remember me. Your mother and Rhaenyra do not seem to recall who I am," He shrugs his shoulders, his smile turning into a bit of a frown. He wished Alicent knew who he was, at the very least. But he'd have to live with it, not like he had much of a choice. "How have you been?"
"Of course I remember you, Uncle," there's a pleasant smile that's given to him, clearly happy that there's a family member who has their memory. It took adjustments to familiarize herself, her family, to the new world and, still, there was difficulty but she hadn't forgotten her life and where she came from. "I have been well," the smile disappeared. "You've spoken to my mother? I worry her memories won't recall. I'm scared."
"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."
"I knew you wouldn't disappoint," she giggled, though it was more menacingly.. evil than uplifting. "What is that place Bela frequents? I have yet to go, but I've heard tasty things about it," she led the way, however, dancing in her step with a child-like joyfulness at the thought of feeding.
(¸.• ♛ → and this time she couldn't help but looking at her. honestly, it's been really a very while since she was able to see her mom and she had missed her a lot, she wanted nothing but to hug her because even after everything, she really loved her. however, she stopped her thoughts when she spoked to her in a way that she never spoke to her before. "y-you...you don't recognize me?" she couldn't help but ask, even after knowing that this place does that to people, she refuse to accept that her mother didn't remember her. "it's me, mom, myrcella."
"No, I do not," Cersei spoke as she took a step back. She felt as if she had to be a little careful. The previous encounter had scared her enough to be cautious of this thing happening again. She hoped that it wouldn't but when the stranger claimed her to be her daughter? Cersei scoffed. "If I had a kid, trust me, I'd know," her words might've been harsh, but to her knowledge? They were true. She didn't have kids. Her business was her baby. That was it. "Myrcella, you said? I don't know a Myrcella."
@oceanprose Finnick & Johanna
Finnick was never this ballsy, but he was in the mood to meet his neighbors. For such a social person, he really hadn't done much since arriving in DC. That's how he ended up knocking on his next door neighbors door, ready to introduce himself. When she opened up, he smiled and casually leaned against the doorway. Great, someone around his age. "Hey, I'm Finnick, I live next door." He looked at her closer, she was attractive. "Do you want to hang out at my place?"
Socialization wasn't necessarily what Johanna needed, but she often welcomed it in the rare occasions with people she tolerated. However, when the door was being knocked on, she couldn't help but to roll her eyes and grumble the entire way over to answer it. "Finnick?" she questioned as she blinked a few times trying to make sense of who was in front of her. Johanna wasn't much of a hugger, but given that.. well, he had fought valiantly and she very much missed him. Naturally, Johanna pulled him into a tight embrace. "When the hell did you get here?" she asked, dismissing his lame attempt to flirt with her.
katniss doesn't register that it was her name being called until the other is in her space. for a split second , she thinks that this might be the sister that her memory-affected brain manifested for her , but the voice isn't the same. this isn't her. still , there's an intense feeling of protectiveness that washes over her. she doesn't fully return the embrace of the assumed stranger , but she places her hands gently on the other's arms. she doesn't push her away , but she doesn't pull her closer either as she tries to make sense of the situation. " i'm ... who are you ? "
After a brief hug, Primrose pulled away and looked up at her older sister with a smile up until the question is in the air. For a moment, Prim is speechless and unsure of what to say or do. She sees Katniss in her eyes, but there's something missing. When Katniss looked at Prim, she knew there was immense love and there was joy, but this person? She didn't see that. There was only confusion and her heart dropped at the fact. "It's me, Katniss," she was desperate to reassure her, to pull her from that uncertainty but what only came about was teary eyes and a near sob. "It's your sister, Primrose. You know? Prim."
willow glanced around for a moment, realizing that no one else was there, she looked back at the other. "i'm sure you have me confused with someone else. i don't know who you are this buff is." she shook her head quickly with an awkward shrug of her shoulder. "sorry, did you say hex?"
"I did say hex," she said, looking at Willow with a risen brow. "You are Willow, right?" As Faith looked at her, she could've sworn that she was, in fact, talking to the right person. "You look like Willow. You sound like Willow," a step forward was taken as she eyed the girl up and down, studying.. analyzing her, almost. "Are you playing tricks on me?"
kiara & haley / @oceanprose
❝ i wonder how we all will have a home here soon ❞ kie commented, shook her head ❝ more people have started to move to washington dc ❞ or more like were forced to come to the city. nah, maybe they weren't forced. honestly she did not know. could be the same for everyone, they came here without knowing how ❝ i mean if there is enough apartments and houses for everyone ❞
"There's always housing in development, it seems like," she spoke, a smile atop her face as she offered Kiara the other to-go coffee. "I don't know. I don't think I've noticed the change," a shrug was given before Haley took a sip of the warm liquid, finding comfort in its temperature and its creamy taste. "I stopped here on tour and decided that I loved it so much, I wanted to come back and stay. It has been good for Jaime and I. When did you move to DC?"
