Would you rather have a trail of green slime follow you wherever you walk or constantly drool whenever you talk?

The first. (Less uncomfortable for me.)

Is it true your hair is insured for $10,000?

haha then what ;)

I’d pull you closer by your tie, until your fedora bumped into my forehead. You’d lean in closer, and then I’d punch you in the face. 

Alternatively.

At what time in your recent past have you felt most passionate and alive?

“God, okay. This other night, maybe around three in the morning I was driving home from town-- this was right after it had rained, you know- around last week, and when I turned onto the road I was going too fast for my car. I drifted over the water, just for a second, and it should have been terrifying-- it should have been, but it was completely exhilarating! So much happened in that one second, it was amazing.”

What is your dirtiest pleasure?

“Dirtiest? Like guilty, or?”  

“Hm, okay. I’ve thought of one. Spice Girls. Maybe David Bowie movies. Just don’t read too much into that one.”

He grinned and nodded once more, “It’s why I need a boat. Get all the way to the middle of the lake, where the big fish are.” Morgan shared aloud, and it was a first. He had such a boat that he had worked on for two weeks, but it still wasn’t fit for water, at least it made a good distraction in the meantime. Kept Morgan’s mind and hands busy. “Pff. So you like feeling left out?” The human pressed, finding it safe to look over toward the girl now. “Yeah, I would be pissed to find garbage around here.” The frustration showed in his voice at the very thought of that happening.

[piperlarkin-blog]

Piper perked up a bit at the mention of a boat, thinking of hers for the second time that day. “I have one, but it needs a checkup.” She’d take it to the car doctor later, already aware that her mechanic wasn’t going to be thrilled to see her. “Nah, I’d invite friends. Or go talk to some strangers,” Something that Piper did a lot of, especially given how she was talking to a perfect stranger in that moment. “I fill a trashbag nearly every time I come to the docks.” Piper complained, lightly. As a hydrophist, it was easier for Piper to separate the water from toxins or trash, so she tried to keep her portion of the lake as clean as possible.

Do you think you'll ever fall in love and have it last for the rest of your life?

Is it possible to hope that something will happen at the same time that you believe it wont? I don’t think I’ll die alone, but I also don’t expect to find a ‘soulmate’ and be with that one person forever.

Harriett nodded, glancing out over the water before skimming up to the cloudy skies. “Do you spend a lot of time down here?” She wasn’t incredibly curious, but she was very polite and asking questions, being interested was part of that, she felt. At the mention of a boat, she raised a brow, looking at the other for a brief moment. “Does weather affect that? Or do you go out either way usually?” She wondered what would be considered bad weather for someone experienced with sailing. Of all the things Harriett could do, that one wasn’t on the list.

Piper wanted to tip her face back, close her eyes, and get warmed by the glowing sun. However, the clouds, twisting around the rays of sunshine until shadow swallowed them whole, didn’t seem interested in indulging Piper’s summer-time fantasies. “Mhm,” she hummed in answer while reaching out and pointing across the water. “I live right,” she slightly adjusted her finger. “over there.” Her solitary dock wasn’t the most social corner, mostly from the sheer fact that the bank surrounding her dock was covered in thick woods and overgrown foliage. Most people preferred the docks, or the more beach-like shores. “Boating? Nah, the water gets too choppy while it’s raining to ride safely.” Commercial fisherman boat, or long-exposure sail boats were fine with the rain, but her small boat, designed for leisure rides and occasional fishing, wouldn’t last an hour. “More experienced people can do it, I’m sure,” Piper continued. “But I only take it out when the sun’s shining.”

What do you look for in a person?

Hmm- a sense of humor? Along that same vein, a quick wit or playful personality. I want to be able to have fun with my partner, even in unfortunate or upsetting situations. Aside from that- someone active or artistic; someone able to receive affection.

Jonathan chuckled. “If only out of necessity. A comfortable world doesn’t last forever. I figure it’s better to be ready for when it all goes bottom up.” He made a turning motion with his hand.

He watched the young woman from the corner of his eye. Humans were spectator sports in their own right, and it was his own little game to see how well he could read them. He raised his eyebrows. “It doesn’t seem like the temperature has held you back, though.”

[piperlarkin-blog]

Piper raised her eyebrows, playful. She didn’t expect the world to go bottom up, or at least expected that when it did, she’d be long gone. A spirit like Piper’s wasn’t meant for dark, gritty times. Though, neither was she meant for smooth sailing, no matter how much that idea appealed to her. Piper was much more content to move with the tides; going where the current took her. It was interesting, though, to find someone with a different mindset. 

“I don’t mind it,” She assured the man, looking at the distorted image of her legs in the water. “The cold can be energizing.” Magic pulsed out of Piper and into the water, a subtle connection that she liked to magnify. It made the waters almost maternal; nurturing.

“Have you been enjoying everything this evening?” Alex asked as he approached the dining table. Talking to patrons wasn’t something he favored all too well, but it was something he’d do whenever he was around his restaurant nonetheless. If you wanted to stay in people’s good-books, he found talking to them helped quite a bit.

Piper pried at the slice of cake in front of her, savoring the time. Her black heels felt invigorating as she crossed her legs, presenting them with an air of vanity. She adored the feelings of restaurants; importance along with a sophisticated pallet. And in Birchwood, Piper felt like she was fighting an uphill battle by looking for ‘sophistication’. As poor as she was, Piper only really went to restaurants for sparing meals. A slice of devils food and a glass of inexpensive wine was all Piper needed to start feeling like she was ‘treating herself’. “Yes, thank you,” Piper replied, setting her fork down quickly. It was both nice and embarrassing to be asked what she thought, the parts of Piper that liked to be indulged content in that moment. “It’s always great.” While she didn’t mean to sound so awkward and insincere, Piper couldn’t find a way around her twisted tongue.

Charms || Piper and Sidalee

Piper’s eyes flicked upwards, barely skimming over the familiar Rose & Co. sign, now tinted light brown by her sunglasses. As she stepped into the threshold, Piper pushed her sunglasses onto the top of her hair, her bags from the Old World Deli rustling at her leg. Her now clear eyes took in the shop quickly, hardly skimming over the stands that would have once caught and held her attention firmly. The shop had a root of nostalgia in her mind, so tightly associated with her adolescence. Piper’s less ritualistic magic had always been easy to supplement with crystals, sachets and yoga; anything that related deeply to the spirit resonated with Piper, and gave her a connection to the store. When she was younger, she’d participated regularly in the weekly yoga. The older that Piper got, the more that she practiced her own private meditation; a channeling of her magick. 

The girl slipped inside, languidly putting the ingredients she’d come for in a basket, while also wielding an inner debate over the bathbomb on the last shelf. “G’morning,” Piper said, raising a hand in greeting to Sidalee behind the counter, as she crossed to the next stand. “Has it been busy this morning?” The apothecary had boomed in the last year or so, witches and humans alike in Birchwood recognizing what the store had to offer. Piper was happy with its growth, and the firm knowledge that it would be there whenever she needed a pick me up.
