game of survival.

who's in the shadows? who's ready to play? are we the hunters? or are we the prey? there's no surrender, and there's no escape. are we the hunters? or are we the prey?

🌧️ get caught in a sudden downpour - lily & alice ( @burntogcther )

"Those clouds don't look good," Lily observed, and just as she finished the sky opened up and it began pouring. "Oh Merlin, I was right." She looked over to Alice, they are not managing to get out not soaked. "Where's open right now?"

🍦get ice cream together - lily & james ( @burntogcther )

"What?" Lily asked, taking her vanilla cone with rainbow sprinkles. "Why are you giving me that look? Is it because I got Vanilla?"

[burntogcther]

"People who are struggling tend to do that, you and I both know that," James replied, reminded of his own experiences and also hers, "You know dad would never do that and anyone who thinks he would do that, shouldn't be working for him," he paused, "You need to be there for her, like you were for me and I was for you. No matter how much she pushes you away."

[revcluticnvry]

"Yeah, I know Dad would never do that, but that doesn't mean anyone else won't believe it," Lily replied. "I know, I just..." she sighed, "I don't know how to help her. This isn't really something I can fix."

[elenaflcres]

"Exactly! I've met plenty of incredibly people who are awful at texting back, let alone keeping the exchange interesting all the time," Elena nodded. "So is it truly fair to judge someone completely new on that alone?"

[revcluticnvry]

"I think it's worth going on at least one date, but I wouldn't put too much pressure on it. Like if he still isn't asking questions or not interacting well with you, I don't think it's meant to be."

🍦get ice cream together - cleo & jesse ( @jessetremlett )

Cleo feigned a gasp of offense. "Woah, woah, don't put those words on Butter Pecan ice cream. It is by far the best ice cream flavor out there."

[revcluticnvry]

🌷 go to botanical gardens/flower-picking - cleo & victoire ( @burntogcther )

"Ooo, look at those flowers over there," Cleo said, pointing them out. "They're not fully bloomed but just enough, so they would definitely last a while in the house, yeah?"

[lyramalfcy]

"Actually I found it at an antique shop. I stopped as I was passing by and saw it in a window," Lyra explained. "I got it because it reminds me a lot of the energy we felt at last week's place," she further elaborated, looking from the object to Jamie again, "Are you feeling that too? Do you think it could be linked?"

[revcluticnvry]

"I mean, I definitely feel the energy about it," Jamie nodded. "However, how do you suppose they could be linked?"

🍖 have a summer barbecue - jameson & cynthia ( @burntogcther )

This summer had not been good to Jamie's joints, especially the heat of today, but he didn't want to cancel with Cynthia, so Jamie just accepted his fate, his hands definitely swollen from his flare. The weakness in his hands was no surprise, and he struggled to get a jar open for the barbeque they were doing. "Hey, can you get this open?" Jamie asked Cynthia. "It's starting to annoy me so much."

🍹 grab some drinks to cool off - fred & frank ( @franklcngbcttcmii )

"Woah, woah, woah, I will not accept any tequila sunrise slander out here," Fred joked. "It's the perfect summer drink, especially when it'll be sunset soon."

[revcluticnvry]

🍹 grab some drinks to cool off - fred & ronnie ( @burntogcther )

"I'm just saying, the day would be so much better if my drink didn't heat up in like two minutes," Fred said, holding his hands up lightly. "Kinda defeats the purpose on trying to cool down with it."

[revcluticnvry]

👟 go for a walk/jog/hike - fred & alice ( @burntogcther )

"Pick it up Longbottom," Fred said, a few paces ahead of Alice. "This run isn't going to run itself. I've seen you run faster than that, you gotta keep in shape."

[revcluticnvry]

🌷 go to botanical gardens/flower-picking - fred & victoire ( @burntogcther )

Fred sneezed again, "Merlin, if I sneeze one more time I'm going to lose it," he said. "How do you manage to be around this many flowers and not feel your nose itching?"

[erin-mccormack]

"Well, no. But that would almost be easier. I know formal and black tie. Something nice to me is jeans and a nice top, but I feel like that's not what she means." Erin replied. "You think so? Good, then I'm sticking with it."

[revcluticnvry]

"I think Octavia would've said formal or black tie if she meant that," Max pointed out. "So I think you kinda hit the something nice category, it's not too casual, but it's also not insanely fancy. You seriously have no idea whatsoever on where she's taking you?"

[revcluticnvry]

🌮 stop by a food truck - max & ivy ( @ivypatil )

"Oh this one here has Halal foods, do you want that? Or there's a greek food truck over there. I craving something with chicken and rice, what about you?"

[revcluticnvry]

🍦get ice cream together - maxine & gale ( @burntogcther )

Maxine loaded in the amount of insulin she had to use to her pump. "How many scoops are you thinking? I'm thinking I'm going to get two scoops, but I'm not settled on the flavor," she said as they waiting in the queue for ice cream. "And it's my treat this time, don't forget."

[lucilleweasleys]

Welcoming the kiss, Lucy savored it as her hands upped his face in an affectionate manner. "I really am so proud of you, Jace," she reiterated warmly, her thumbs gently stroking his cheekbones before she threw her arms around his neck again. "This is going to be such an exciting new chapter for you. I can't wait for you to come home from work every day and tell me all about it."

[revcluticnvry]

[lyramalfcy]

"I completely get that," Lyra sympathized with her cousin. If she thought about it all too much it only brought darkness for her too. She could only imagine how Jace must feel every day given his line of work. "But if I know anyone who's determined enough to get closer to that cure, it's you, Jace. I have faith in you and everything you're doing, I hope you know that."
