HIATUS. { UNTIL JULY 1ST }

I hate to have to announce this but I will be taking a brief hiatus from this blog. You can already tell my activity was dwindling and while I have a very strong writing muse for Athena, it’s about time that I need to review Dual Destinies. However, due to some other obligations, this will take a little while. So! This hiatus will likely last till the end of June!

I may try to work on short drafts here and there while the hiatus is going on but I don’t intend to be plotting during this time! Thank you for your constant love and support!

[perceptivum]

Activity here has clearly been lacking but that is not for lack of muse. I would love  to get more things going here, however, so if you are a mutual follower of mine, please give this post a like so that we may plot something together!

I WILL SEE ALL OF YOU IN COURT! /huffs

     “ There is no need to thank me, Cyk- … Athena, ” he reassured her, a shake of his head following his statement. Simon had always been there for her and there was absolutely no reason to stop now. Nor would he ever want to. This was his mentor’s daughter, someone he had sworn to protect with his very life. Fortunately, he had done this well and without sacrificing his own life although he would have readily given it up for her. 

      “ Let us go then, shall we? ” He was anxious to go and visit her grave. “ Actually… before we go I would like to stop somewhere and buy some flowers. You are okay with that, yes? ”

     It’s oddly foreign to see him now, it is different from when they fought in court and much more like he’s a guidance in her life. He had been like an older brother when she was but a kid and that analogy does not seem incorrect now. It is all she can do to smile and nod her head for he is right, bringing flowers to visit her mother seems all the more appropriate. It is a hard pill to swallow, even having lived without her for years, and it is good to have him at her side in this moment. 

     “That sounds good, I know a place that stocks her favorite kind... they  have given me some in the past.” She’s only visit once before, when she was a young girl, hands shaking as she lowered the flowers to her mother’s headstone with tears flooding out her eyes. In a way, this is easier but it hurts just as much. “Let’s go get them, we should get there before it gets too late.”

      That is a bit of a given, isn’t it? people make rash decisions not because they’re practical, but because that’s the decision they feel they should make. Luckily, that doesn’t work on me, but that’s why they come to us to make the right decisions for them.

( A facade Harvey was still happy to wear, but it’s lost its touch– it was obvious that he wasn’t the man he was, and instead something a little more human; something more obtainable. )

      Fair enough. That school you went to in Europe I guess a testament to that. C’est la vie.

     “Well sure it is, I don’t disagree with that. Point is, I know that discord is there before they do, sometimes before they even make the wrong decision.” It is difficult to explain and no one ever quite gets it, what makes Athena so interesting, so unique. She hopes that explanation is enough for Harvey or that his eyes don’t begin to roll at the truth of her nature. 

     “I succeeded well there, that much is true. It hadn’t always been easy but you get tough.” Grow a thick skin, grow more accurate in your awareness, Athena honed every one of her skills to be as good as she was at such a young age, that was why she was so impressive.

     “As it is to meet you!” She bears a smile, a result of her sunny disposition, even if it goes unseen, and appreciates the one she sees from him. There are times where her line of work grew terse at best and finding allies, even friends, was warmly welcomed by someone like her.

     “Sorry I was running a little late, the Wright employees always are a little unorganized.” It’s a remark made to be polite, humorous, and it is enunciated with a gentle laugh. He showed no signs of agitation with her so it was all good natured.

reblog if (ง︡’-‘︠)ง

[exaltess-archive-blog]

ooc; It’s with pretty big disappointment that I have to come back here to post something like this but I feel this needs to be addressed and others need to be aware in an attempt to stop this from happening again. Recently I was informed that another role player azure-princxss / exaltedazure had plagiarised my background information that I had written and past it off as her own. For comparison purposes see HERE, mine is on the right while hers is on the left. I’ve also been made aware that she’s taken pieces from another Lucina role player (parts of the personality section), who I can’t name as I’ve not had permission to include her but I think it’s important to note that she’s pieced together others writing and passed it off as her own.

This isn’t the first time she has taken more than just inspiration from another writer and has paraphrased writing from perceptivum for her own Athena blog courtroomrevolutionnairess such as her Verses, for comparison see perceptivum’s HERE and her’s HERE. And also her about page in general is paraphrased HERE is perceptivum’s page and HERE, HERE, HERE & HERE are hers. Perceptivum politely messaged her about this and THIS was her response, while apologetic it is filled with guilt tripping and she didn’t do what she said she would and hasn’t changed her information.

Back to my issue, I sent her a private ask about the matter and also notified her on twitter that I had a matter to discuss. She responded once with THIS, sound familiar? Thats because the first paragraph has parts copied and pasted from the ‘apology’ she sent perceptivum. Although she did take down the information I requested of her there is nothing sincere about her apology, saying that it was ‘mostly’ her fault as if part of it was my own? I then sent her another ask, asking her to publicly apologise to those she’d stolen from, yet I have received no reply and have noted that she has put her blog on a hiatus. Thus here I am writing this because I believe this wont be the last time she decides to plagiarise and paraphrase from someone.

I feel that others need to be aware of her behaviour, seeing someone else take something you worked hard on is an awful feeling and I do not want anyone else to go through that. This is NOT a message to harass her, but to be AWARE of what she has done and to let her know that it is NOT okay and to hopefully make her think twice before attempting this again. You can be inspired by others, we are all inspired in some way, but think for yourselves and put effort in what you do and THINK about how the other person would feel with you having taken something they wrote or made.

      Oh yeah? And why do they say that?

( And now he was curious, a sort of amused smile appearing. )

      …That’s an honest to god first, let me tell you. Just give it time. Though, I do have to comment: this must be at least somewhat different to your job back in LA, isn’t it?

     “I’m very perceptive, Harvey. People credit it to a lot of things but I just know the way emotions work.” A great many things truly factored into it but she just grins and nods. 

     “Oh, I am sure it won’t last but I’ll make with it what I can. Allies are important, no matter the origin. It’s a very different kind of place from LA, not just the firm, New York too, but I tend to take well to making things work.”

               ❝ lawyers and cops, huh?  ❞

           FRESH MEAT,        perhaps? skepticism is WRITTEN along            each and every lineament and curve;        did she speak the            truth or was it merely for her own safety?     if    such words            are TRUE:   this is a chance to eliminate the CORRUPTION            from within the system – was that not his motive this entire            time?      he’s      DELIGHTED — OVERJOYED,         even.            opportunities ARISE during the dreariest of days.

     “Not exactly? I’m a defense attorney, you could say we run in with one another when it’s necessary.” Not to mention the boyfriend who made a home of the prosecutor’s office. It was smartest to never divulge that information when unnecessary, certainly with his reputation. “We all have a professional relationship but we certainly don’t work together.” She knows the danger of unknown company and detects strange energy from him, but her face reflects nothing but optimism, a woman tired from a straining day at work who longed for home. The idea is to give no defense away and answer with honesty but conservation. She could manage herself so long as if he was danger, he was the only one. “But why are you so curious, do you?”

      They say one of my strong-suits is reading people, so it’s nice to know my skill’s are still as sharp as ever.

      ( A curt nod was given. ) Good. I was afraid Louis was going to drive you crazy this early in the game.

     “Funny, people say the same about me.” She smiles, genuine but brief. “Louis isn’t the kind of person who gets to someone like me, not when I know how to play his good side already.” Which was different from saying the liked him but that was beyond the point.

       I never said it was bad, just an observation; matches your personality– black is a neutral color and most often worn in board meetings. Also highly stylish, goes with anything.

       Anyway, I was wondering how you were adjusting. All good?

     “Surely you understand that I jest, Harvey. And in that sense, your observation is quite fair. I have settled in quite well, actually, thank you.”

        “ thanks for everything you’re offering, it means a lot            to me. it’s just really awkward for me right now… &           though i know you won’t tell him this since you’ve          promised not to speak of THIS ENCOUNTER, but i just            want you to know that i don’t think harshly of him.                        what happened was hardly his fault. “

     “It truly isn’t a trouble, Lindy. If I can help, I will, rest assured. I know Jake and he’s a good man from my knowledge of working with him, but things happen and you’re more than allowed to have doubts and need your space. I know you must have other friends but if you need more of me, I definitely don’t say no to having someone to share a lunch or a jog in the park with.”

          If it’s one thing I learned, it’s that you           wear a lot of yellow.

      “ I can leave if that is what you wish. ” Those words were said with the utmost amusement; he knew full well that she hadn’t meant that by her words. Sure, he had been released fairly recently, but he figured that moping around in his apartment or his office would not help him adjust back to life outside of the clink’s dreary despairing walls. He needed support from those closest to him, and who better than Athena to guide him? Their long history together, paired with this victory, only further strengthened their bond; they would be friends and family always and forever. 

      “ Oh? I… would like to accompany you… if you will have me. ” He had not been able to visit his mentor for seven long years. This visit was long overdue.

     At first she is frightful of his words, joking tone or no, but she grows to play along fast like she did when she was young. He’d always been like a big brother to her, concerned of her and teasing, but always fun. They had been separated by something huge and met again in a jarring manner but that weight was lifted now, they could return to their past without the trepidation.

     “Simon! That isn’t funny and you know it isn’t what I meant.”  But though she acts incredulous for a moment, she bears a smile and nods at his offer, growing more serious. “I would like that, actually. I’m still not sure if I can do it on my own.” Not without breaking down as she always had. “Thank you, Simon.”

{:;} EMA SKYE ;

That bright smile of hers was certainly uplifting, so much so that it was easy to forget how upset she had been mere minutes ago. It was wonderful to hear that she had been doing well, she remembered having been told by Mr Wright the troubles Athena had been going through. Ema could sympathize with her, she knew what it had been like being so close to losing a family member to an incorrect verdict. How helpless one felt when all seemed lost, the horror that was witnessing murder at a young age. It was all so difficult, full recovery was not always guaranteed. Athena deserved to be happy, seeing her now only proved that point further.

“ That’s good to hear. We do need to keep moving forward despite the ups and downs in life. ” 

Ironic coming from her, considering her current situation. These thoughts were kept quiet, however, quickly moving onto another subject.

“ Lunch it is then! I’m pretty hungry myself, I know a good place nearby. ”

Lunch together reminds Ema of the various times they’d done the same in Europe. In truth, it excites her greatly. Not just because of the chance to catch up, but just to be able to spend time with her good friend. It was nice, being excited over something that wasn’t science related for once.

     Beyond Juniper Woods, Ema Skye was the first true best friend that Athena could name for herself. When times were solemn, they could find comfort and joy in each other and in the good times, they could have fun. Their careers interwove well but they did not define their relationship as they grew close through going out to eat in Europe and discussing all the less serious matters too. In her darkest hours, Ema had been light alongside Mr. Wright, and now Athena sought always to be the same. 

     “I am sure a place you recommend would be lovely. I still remember that little bed and breakfast we stumbled into when the rainstorm picked up... finding nice places to go with you was always a blast.” A reprieve from the near non-stop hours Athena clocked in with her studies and a little adventure to soothe her soul. “Are you set to head out now? I think my stomach just rumbled a bit.” And flashback to the countless times one of them had tugged the other out somewhere for one reason or another and allowed fun into the depths of their work.
