@powerbound​ / starter call.

𝐓𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐏𝐎𝐑𝐓 𝐀𝐓 𝐀 𝐒𝐌𝐀𝐋𝐋 fishing village had been the original plan, a perfect plan as it were because it was one step closer to finding answers. at least, that is what he had been led to believe, but after anchoring his ship it appeared he had been led astray once again. however, after walking away from the docks he made his way to a local market and began looking at the various merchants as well as listening to the local gossip. in a short time, he manages to snag up some small pieces of food and place them into his mouth, but just as he did he can feel a set of eyes on his person.

usually, the locals stay away, unless his crew seeks out information and then sends people his way. this didn’t feel like those times. with food still in his mouth, a sideways glance is given as his good eye takes focus on the stranger.  ❛  ah [ … ] can i help ya?  ❜  the question is innocent as the food is quickly chewed on and then swallowed.

he feels uncomfortable but stands tall as he turns to face the stranger head-on and even gives a gentle bow of respect. as he raises up to his full height once again, he shakes the initial feeling but keeps a reminder of it and offers a gentle smile.

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐏𝐀𝐓𝐇 𝐀𝐑𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐃 𝐏𝐄𝐎𝐏𝐋𝐄 𝐈𝐒 𝐀 𝐃𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐂𝐓 𝐎𝐍𝐄  ,  so  many  look  to  avoid  the  little  wild  girl  with  wide  blue  eyes  often  spotted  talking  to  herself  and  swiping  food  from  the  local  stalls  .  she  slips  in  and  around  everyone  without  too  much  notice  before  something  that  she  can’t  explain  ,  catches  her  attention  .  a  gentle  whisper  in  her  head  ,  a  newcomer  ,  of  course  not  a  surprise  along  these  parts  ,  but  this  one  …  she  couldn’t  quite  make  heads  or  tails  of  it  ;  that  alone  was  fascinating  .

❛      mmmm  ,  nope  ,  i  don’t  think  so  !      ❜      her  expression  still  wide  ,  curious  ,  almost  too  dangerously  innocent  to  be  perceived  as  normal  and  as  he  rises  to  his  feet  she  has  no  choice  but  to  look  up  at  him  with  both  hands  upon  her  hips  .  another  stranger  in  this  village  and  this  one  is  coated  in  a  specific  aura  of  uncertainty  ,  one  that  all  she  longs  to  do  is  put  her  finger  upon  it  and  she  will  ,  she  just  …  needs  a  moment  .,  

the  witch  doesn’t  step  back  as  he  rises  though  ,  and  instead  speaks  up  again  ,  ❛      just  noticed  that  you’re  new  around  here  ;  just  passing  through  ?  looking  for  something  ?  there’s  just  …  something  a  little  off  about  you  that  i  can’t  figure  out        ❜      perhaps  a  little  too  blunt  ,  but  she’s  never  been  known  for  being  proper  .

“ listen. i’m just trying to keep the peace. i like you. i like having you as an ally. but i don’t like having to explain why all these bodies are popping since you’ve been here, “ quentin explained, hoping that he can keep his calm but it doesn’t appear as if she seems interested in trying to be cordial here. truth be told, quentin still isn’t completely sure what she gets out of this deal, because he’s not positive that even his pack of skinwalkers could take her down with the power she wields. but for now, keeping the peace was the best option possible. at least for them. “ and i think you’re dead wrong. i think you could pull off a collar pretty well. i just shudder to think who’d be stupid or crazy enough to try to put one on you. “

“duct tape?”

he didn’t expect her to understand, the last thing he expected from anyone was understanding. still, he watched her as her question lingered in the air. maybe he shouldn’t have a bookshelf. would it be feasible to just… stack them all on the ground? surely a crumpled book tower was easier to clean than the remnants of a shelving unit. 

“no?” the word came with a laugh as she started piecing his unit back together. it was interesting to watch - a fascination he’d always held - magic. he was considered as such himself despite his lack of ability in the field.  his magic lay in the form of the curse cloud that always hovered above his head. 

bit by bit, it all came back together because of her. even the books found their home once again and, appreciative as it was for the clean up, there was still the acknowledgement that it would simply fall apart again.

“was that a pun? because this is box shaped?” nose wrinkled at the question, attention still focused on the shelf. “it’s going to fall again, you know.”

𝐀𝐖𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐔𝐂𝐊 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐀 𝐌𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓  ,  the  witch  hops  back  with  both  hands  placed  firmly  at  her  hips  as  if  proud  of  a  job  well  done  as  a  slight  hm  ?  pokes  from  her  lips  as  she  peers  back  at  the  other  .  she  can  see  it  now  ,  something  dark  circling  the  other  that  perhaps  she’s  seen  before  but  it’s  been  otherwise  covered  in  the  slight  murky  haze  belonging  to  her  own  vision  ---  a  travesty  some  would  say  .  a  curse  . 

huh  .  they’re  all  a  little  hellbound  ,  aren’t  they  ?

❛        don’t  be  ridiculous        ❜    she  scolds  him  ,  a  flick  of  her  wrist  causing  the  very  same  bookcase  to  set  on  fire  .  for    a  moment  ,  she  allows  the  flames  to  burn  ,  sparks  of  ember  poking  out  before  finally  she  squeezes  her  hand  into  a  fist  ,  the  flames  disappear  and  the  bookcase  still  stands  .  ❛        i’ll  have  you  know  i  know  a  thing  or  two  about  destruction  !  if  you  break  this  ,  well  ,  we’re  gonna  have  to  figure  out  how  you  did  it  ,  can  promise  you  that      ❜

she  grins  this  time  ,  making  her  way  towards  the  other  ,  still  smiling  that  wild  kind  of  grin  that  tilts  along  with  her  head  towards  the  side  as  if  she’s  examining  him  ,  picking  apart  the  layers  .  even  now  ,  she  can  feel  the  sensation  of  her  magic  reaching  out  .  something  wicked  maybe  ,  but  she  doesn’t  say  that  ,  instead  she  goes  with  something  a  little  bit  more  bold  . 

❛        so  ---  who’d  you  piss  off  ,  huh  ?    ❜

WINTER SHIPPY STARTERS | accepting (it says “shippy” but most of these can be done platonically too) 

@powerbound​ said: Your muse surprises mine with a snowball fight for zixin !

Six weeks on the run, but ZiXin couldn’t say that he was regretting his decision to keep Shay out of the line of fire. His parents were pissed; the coven was pissed. Still, he wasn’t willing to go back just yet, until he had some assurances that she would be safe. Negotiations were happening; he’d been in on a few of those phone calls, but it was happening too slowly. Half the coven still wanted her dead, saying she was a threat to their existence. The other half wanted to use her powers, to harness them to help out whatever cause they currently thought was just. Him? He just wanted her safe, happy, and not subjected to the near daily dramatics that came with being near his Coven.

Even so, ZiXin had managed to carve out a little time to just stop and breathe. They were in the middle of a parking lot of a almost-abandoned motel on the outskirts of some small town in South Dakota. The snow had fallen heavily during the night, blanketing the parking lot in a pristine, untouched white. The only tracks he could see belonged to the trucker who was holed up in a room three doors down from theirs. The tracks led away from the motel and toward the diner a few hundred yards away.

So, in essence, they were alone.

“Hey!” he called out, the only warning he would give before a powdery, mushy snowball came sailing through the air – smacking neatly into the back of her coat, right between her shoulder blades. “You should learn how to duck!” Said teasingly, as he ducked behind their car in an attempt to gather more ammunition. “Winner gets to pick where we stop for lunch. I’m not eating any more chicken nuggets for as long as I live.” Another snowball was lobbed blindly over the car, landing harmlessly at her feet. “Just so you know, I’m the king of snowball fights!”

𝐒𝐇𝐄’𝐒 𝐋𝐎𝐒𝐓 𝐈𝐍 𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐎𝐖𝐍 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐃  ,  eyes  watching  the  sky  as  snow  continues  to  fall  .  it’s  been  so  long  since  she’s  witnessed  the  chill  of  winter  firsthand  ,  so  long  since  she’s  seen  the  snowfall  .  no  longer  are  her  memories  haunted  by  the  catastrophe  created  by  her  existence  ,  even  if  it’s  only  for  a  moment  she  can  just  bask  in  the  earth  as  her  magic  longs  for  her  to  .  in  a  way  ,  it’s  likened  to  sating  the  beast  within  ,  she’s  not  arguing  with  the  echoes  ,  not  fighting  back  the  urge  to  lash  out  ,  she’s  simply  existing  .

and  then  …

a  hard  and  cold  sensation  throttles  between  her  shoulder  blades  forcing  her  to  lurch  forward  in  an  effort  to  maintain  her  balance  .    initially  ,  she  turns  in  a  readiness  to  fight  ,  but  immediately  stops  herself  as  she  watches  zixin  duck  behind  a  car  ,  yelling  about  snowball  fights  and  needing  to  learn  how  to  duck  .  ❛            hey  !        ❜    her  voice  rings  out  almost  shrill  as  another  ball  of  snow  comes  towards  her  ,  this  one  landing  at  her  feet  .  what  remains  of  it  she  scoops  up  into  ungloved  hands  and  shapes  it  into  a  new  ball  -  looking  around  to  see  if  there  was  a  vantage  point  that  she  could  smack  him  with  it  .

❛      how  do  you  figure  out  who’s  the  winner  anyway  ?        ❜    she  calls  out  ,  the  parkinglot  so  quiet  as  the  snow  suffocates  the  surrounding  sound  ,  she  can  practically  hear  her  voice  echoing  against  it  .  meanwhile  ,  she  walks  slowly  ,  one  ball  of  snow  neatly  wrapped  in  the  palm  of  her  hand  and  stalks  closer  towards  him  .  she  could  cheat  ,  she  knows  this  ,  but  something  tells  her  not  to  (  for  now  )  until  eventually  she  makes  a  run  for  the  car  around  the  side  ,  tossing  the  snowball  in  his  direction  with  a  laugh  only  hoping  that  it  made  it’s  mark  .
