RAINA CRUISE. cause I'm gone, so high got my darkness, i'm into myself don't need you

[hollyjanefrances-blog-blog]

Working on what exactly?

[rainacruise]

Perfume. A gal has to make money somehow, right? Conventional jobs aren’t really my thing.

[wcldside]

Oh, I can. I’m just admiring, is all. Looks like quite the science experiment you’re working on there.

[rainacruise]

Admiring? Yeah... that’s not creepy at all. 

[little-lucy-collins-blog]

We’re close, in a way, I guess, and I owe her everything, but we’re not exactly ‘buddies’, no. Ask her.

Good. Just checking. I’m not… well, I guess it’s a bit too late to say I wouldn’t be okay with something like that, so whatever. It’s more important that the coven drinks it, right? Maybe a few other people. Nobody whose suspicion of their sudden inability to bring up a certain topic would be more dangerous than their just talking about it, I assume.

[rainacruise]

That’s not exactly the type of thing me and your sister chat about. Who knows? Maybe it’ll change now that we’re all bound.

It’s most important that anyone suspecting us would drink it, coven or not. I’ll make sure we cover our bases. If they become that much of a threat... well, then I suppose we have to silence them completely, don’t you?

[little-lucy-collins-blog]

…I guess.

Yeah, probably. She likes when I don’t have a negative impact on her life.. or she’ll be proud of me, or some shit. Whatever. Is there anything else? There are a lot of candles here, though I can’t see what use they’d be in a potion. Hey, do we have any idea how this will actually taste or look? If you wanted to use it without someone knowing… and it’s safe, right?

[rainacruise]

You and Quinn aren’t so buddy-buddy, huh?

It’ll probably taste like shit, which is why I’ll have someone spell it to taste different if I can’t make it better without ruining the potency. I’m not gonna go around poisoning people, if that’s what you’re asking.

[lucasdvnn]

Mm, definitely not. The look you’ve got now is the perfect look for you. 

[rainacruise]

Trust me, I know.

Certainly wouldn’t have caught the attention of the pastor’s son so easily without it, now would I?

[rainacruise]

Can’t you see I’m working?

[lucasdvnn]

I’m sure if you tried hard enough and were talking to a complete stranger then maybe. But not with me.

[rainacruise]

Eh... doesn’t matter. I don’t really think it’s my look anyway. 

That time in my life is long gone. Good riddance. 

[lucasdvnn]

Aw, my hero. 

You know you’re hanging out in that gutter with me. Don’t play innocent. 

[rainacruise]

What? You don’t think I could play innocent?

[callumludwick-blog-blog]

Do you have something for that? I’ve been trying to throw them off as best as possible, but it wouldn’t hurt to have a little something in our back pockets, just in case. Then, if all else fails….

The other way around, actually. Looks like even Jesus himself couldn’t help her resist my charms.

[rainacruise]

I’m working on something. Shut the mouths of babes and all that. I’ve gotten rather good. So much so I have my own little... business... if you ever wanna take the edge off.

Seriously? She does? Like she approached you?

Well, well, isn’t that interesting...

[callumludwick-blog-blog]

I’m glad to hear it. With so many people fishing around for details we can’t afford any weak links — unless, of course, we just kill anyone that gets too close. I’ve heard it’s all downhill after your first time is over with. As for Morgan, give me a week with her and I’ll have her under control. She won’t be a problem.

[rainacruise]

Hopefully I can keep our need to begin murdering everyone to a minimum with a potion. But I’d rather them dead than me, if I’m being honest. 

Oh? You’re so sure about that? Don’t tell me you have a little crush on the pastor’s daughter?

[tommytrisk]

Why don’t you fuck off? I can’t – I cannot deal with this selfish, queen of the world bullshit you’ve got going on, so just… go take it somewhere else.

[rainacruise]

You can fuck off right back. Maybe I can’t deal with this crying in public, woe-is-me bullshit you have going on. Maybe you shouldn’t have stuck around for someone to see it and have to deal with it.

[zach-flores-blog]

Right…so…is this the part where I’m supposed to act offended?

[rainacruise]

It’s the part where you’re supposed to act however the hell you want. But you’re in public, which means you’re at their scrutiny, and that includes mine.

[callumludwick-blog-blog]

There’s something funny about homicide, hmm? You really have changed.

When more of us seem to be on the verge of a breakdown than not, I’m just covering my bases. Mental stability seems to have gone out of style while I was away.

[rainacruise]

Yeah, like I said, ten years. Of course I have.

Well I’ve been covering the other ones. You don’t need to worry about me. I’m golden. Mental stability in place. It’s Morgan who’s going cooocoo.

[tommytrisk]

Oh, I’m sorry that my involuntary and uncontrollable ability to not think or breathe is irritating you, because you are my top priority right now.

[rainacruise]

Y’know, I highly doubt sarcasm is gonna help you out here. Why don’t you go to the bathroom or home, for example?

[callumludwick-blog-blog]

Homicide, is that what you’re calling it? I prefer the word tribute.

Well whatever shit happened, now’s the time to reclaim it. It can’t own you if you don’t let it.

[rainacruise]

Yes and no. When I wanna look at it in a funny manner then yeah, I call it homicide. I’m morbid, what can I say?

You’re saying this to me as if I asked for some life advice or look like I’m about to break down? Unless I do. In which case, you suck at reading people, man. 

[little-lucy-collins-blog]

Well, yeah, frogs, obviously. I meant, like, who actually goes out and gets all the supplies… who’s on some obscure government watch list somewhere because their internet search history consists of ‘how to debrain a frog.’ But whatever.

Okay, then, yeah, sure. I’m good as long as everyone else is. We’re all liable now, anyway, so I wouldn’t exactly have much choice, but regardless, I’m good.

[rainacruise]

Sometimes I do. Sometimes someone else does. It’s not all that to figure it out and I’m sure you’d be surprised how many people might google “how to debrain a frog.”

Alright. Just making sure. Your sister should be happy to hear that too.

[callumludwick-blog-blog]

I’m not much of a gambling man, Cruise. I like my victories to be guaranteed.

Ah, but you’re forgetting that people like us do get to pick when it happens — at least, now we do. The only people that need to cling to the idea of fate are the ones without the luxury of controlling their destinies. You and I? We can make our own fate now.

[rainacruise]

Yeah. Me neither. But you don’t really have a choice in the matter. We’re all one big, happy, homicidal family now, right?

Key word being now. This is the person I turned into and it was before this whole binding thing. I don’t cling to some idea of fate. I’m just saying, shit happens.
