she hasn’t worried about her injuries since being referred to elias. despite how dangerous each new job has gotten with competitors, she knows it won’t be long before she’s good as new. the problem at hand tonight: large cuts on her arm that’s drenched her sleeve with blood as she barely got away from one catarina caswell, right before the blonde offered olympia a half-meant apology as though she wouldn’t have done it if she had realized who she was dealing with. although, she would be a fool to believe anything catarina says.
olympia shakes their hand before entering the office, eyes surveying the area to see if anything’s changed since her last visit. a light chuckle falls out of her lips at elias’s words, her playfulness ready to reveal itself. ‟ sounds like you’re not that happy to see me. i’m sure you’d be more pleased if i didn’t come at all. ” her gaze falls to the book that sits on the table, lips pressing together. ‟ sorry to interrupt your night. ”
THEY REMOVE OLYMPIA’S JACKET WITH CARE, fold and settle the garment neatly in the corner of the sofa before gesturing for the girl to sit down as well. with each motion falling in place, the curve of their lips soften, satiated. “ you interrupted nothing, olympia. tonight has been quite listless. ” her name adorns their answer like a jewel carefully placed in a velvet-wrapped box -- they can never help themselves against cursory fondness for their clients. mortal bonds are enchanted, whisper-thin threads that weave around their unbeating heart, ribbons for a morbid gift. they survey the extent of the injury, giving the girl another reassuring nod.
it is a routine by now: retrieving the essentials, cleaning the wounds, numbing the pain for ease and comfort, taking in the patient’s state. perpetual, immaculate marionette-on-strings familiarity. their hands gentle at every slight wince or pained noises. blood soaks the air, ringing wickedly in their ears, fostering an indulgent smile. “ it is my hope that you realize i entertain our relationship more than you think i do. ” words as distractions, bird medicine. “ i greet you with joy, as a friend -- our meetings have always been few and far between. i must also greet you with concerns, as the one sworn to take care of you. ”
** multi-muse blog for original & canon characters. you hear the clock drowning in the sharp sting of tears. your bare feet touch the grass that bleeds.
@thieved / / /
ELIAS CAN DETECT the fine undertone of blood before the girl even reaches the door of their office -- it stings naturally sweet on the precipice of their senses, a guileless beckoning like rain tumbling beyond the eaves. rhythmic beats from the club down below suffuse the aroma into pulses until their fingertips twitch. “ miss beckett. ” book abandoned on the table, they move toward the door when it clicks open, soft smile donned with ease. a hand is offered, regardless of the acknowledgement.
“ as this is only the second time this week, i must say i am very pleased. ” unfamiliar music pours in from beyond their sanctuary, and they relexively glance at the clock. a smidge past midnight; another improvement from their last meeting. a hum claws its way out of their throat as they close the door behind them / the cocoon encloses itself again. the surrounding world drops to a murmur.
hm.

The AO3 Tag of the Day is: When your internal conflict ends in a KO
@ferverence
CONNIE’S SILENCE WARMS HER ALL OVER. it is a slow trickle, from the briefest of smiles she grants yekaterina when the girl glances pass; down to the steadfast, encouraging squeeze of the hand when she shows her a finished pattern. the sun in the woman’s eyes weaves intricate praises that the doll-girl finds lodged in her throat quite pleasantly. patience can be so rewarding. she chews on it like cotton candy, allowing contentment to sedate her mind.
she looks down now, finding herself almost done with a blossomed rose, cotton threads almost bleeding under her fingers. they have roses at home too -- too much, in fact. andrei brought two massive bouquets home yesterday, collar and cheeks stenched in hazy pleasure. he rarely drinks that much, and she knows the secret behind his dreamy grin. yekaterina did not find distaste on her tongue then, opening the door for him and seeing the warmth on his face stay true, untouched by the erosion consuming their house (tendriling from her wretchedly). andrei’s happiness aimed at her is a relic she has to earn, but on those days it gets easier.
she puts the needle down distractedly, then, “ connie. have you met andrei’s boyfriend? ” a pause to glance at the embroidered rose in her hands again. “ well. i think he is a boyfriend. ”
inrovina.
out of the corner of his eye, there is movement. it is a silent disturbance he is instantly aware of, coldness tracing tension down his spine, body instantly alert to some unknown threat. in this abandoned place, he had hoped to savour a moment of peace, away from the watchful eye of the world.
there, again. the movement breaking shadows. a breath trapped in his throat. he turns quickly, catching sight of— a child?
they’re young. too young, impossibly so. xeno is not good with children, and the sight of this one unsettles him in a way that he cannot explain. “you shouldn’t be here.”
GROUNDED IN DELUSIONS, made paranoid of the rustling curtains, rambling thoughts scurrying across the window sill like an army of ants -- it’s the storybook horror tale that sketches an exoskeleton of gnarly shapes and sounds around them. another night where she should be sound asleep in her bed, half-ignorant of andrei’s gentle footsteps and hisses of pain, but instead she climbs out the window, restless and evasive, letting her moth-eaten dreams guide her away from safety.
the moon beckons the glitchless image of a boy; perhaps delusions are being forced down her throat as well. “ no one should be here. ” yekaterina takes no step forward. she has her braids undone, and is now suddenly missing the tight coils against her scalp. “ yet here we are. i think this is a terrible topic to be talking about. ”
WHAT HORROR TROPE ARE YOU?
yekaterina & nina - the killer
was there ever a choice? maybe, but that fork in the road is far, far behind you. you surround yourself now with sharp things, tools to harm, and they have become your only family. you are the thing that goes bump in the night, and you hunt for scurrying mice like a hungry cat. maybe, just maybe, though, one can finally put an end to your hunt, and allow you to finally rest.
elias - the ghost
death is not the end for everyone. it certainly was not the end for you. something within you tethers you here, like a heavy chain, and keeps you from well-deserved rest. love, rage, hunger, fear– do you even remember what it was? you wander here, awake, and your body lies below, asleep. maybe someone will find your disturbed grave and grant you a proper ending.
pandora - the ancient evil
they have wronged you. perhaps, once, you were something powerful– something to be looked at with adoration and worship and fear. but time does not yield to you, and when you lay to sleep, you awake to find yourself forgotten. your rage is insatiable. no matter what, you will make sure they do not forget this time.
