ain't no party like a dark magic party. rp main

“You look happy,” she said as she slid into place next to her brother on the fringes of the party, half-full glass of red wine in her hand and the same smile she’d worn all even on her lips. As the reception stretched into the early hours of the morning, a combination of uninhibited joy, alcohol, and the exhaustion that followed stress made the genasi feel as though she floated with every step. Though she still walked without an issue, she was sure another hour on her feet would see her stumbling back to her home with Rae. “You said his name is Ariston, right?” @emrexbasak​

“––We’re really married, huh?” Joy was contagious and it emanated from every pore as Rae held up her new wife’s left hand as they walked, truly never growing tired at the sight. Granted, it had only been a day. “You know, our first date was almost a year ago at one of these.” Pride as she recalled, but more specifically the image of Safiye’s perfectly cut eye makeup from that day lingered on even now. The world changed irreversibly in the span of a year and of all the shifts in her life, the genasi whose hand she held would never sit in the realm of regret. @safiyebasak​​

Safiye hummed a happy note as her dark eyes followed the pinpoint of glittery light that reflected from her ring as Rae lifted her hand. In response, she tugged the fury close and pressed a kiss to the side of her temple, her pace slowing somewhat to allow such a thing without clumsily toppling the pair of them onto the sidewalk. Ever since the wedding, she felt as though she floated when she walked, buoyed by Rae’s now decidedly permanent presence and the memory of an absolutely perfect day. “You drank too much last time,” she teased gently as they began to walk again. “But now you can order your own drinks, and you can order mine when we’re in Italy.”

The work to Evie’s club required a bit more urgency than Safiye would have liked, but in order to be completed in a timely manner, she had to fit in the installation of the wards before she left on her honeymoon. Upon her return, her focus would need to be on the ritual to summon Thanatos with the other genasi, which left little room in her mind or schedule for any other work. The spell required was simple enough to write, but it required blood from all those considered exempt from the wards. After mixing the ingredients plus the necessary blood, Safiye wrote the symbols in the blood mixture with a paintbrush on key locations within the club. After writing each, she spoke a few soft words in Turkish and the inscription sank into the surface upon which she wrote, hiding the spell itself as the ward came alive. “Just about finished,” she said over her shoulder as she sensed the vampire’s proximity. “There’s a few more places I need to place this and then test it.” @eviebordeaux

“I am glad you’re here, even if it’s mostly for Ajax,” she said, and though perhaps the words might have sounded like an insult on any other occasion, the small grin that came with it softened her tone to one of teasing. The reaper in question officiated the ceremony, and Vasilis had been invited anyway, but after whatever misunderstanding occurred between them, Safiye wasn’t sure if he’d stay for longer than necessary to seem polite. The air genasi pushed a lock of hair over her shoulder and peered around the room briefly, spotting Ajax with Beau a short distance away. “He seems happy.” @vasilisadrestia​

“Ye know, I cannae say I’ve ever been tae one of these.” He’s been waiting for a quieter moment to speak with her, but she is one of the brides after all. Jamie takes a sip of his wine and looks to Safiye sideways, a small smile playing across his lips. “Congrats though, the tae of ye look very happy.” It’s what she, arguably they, even if he was certain after recent events, that he and Rae wouldn’t ever quite see eye to eye. Feelings are somewhat difficult for the two of them in the sense that they had strictly a professional relationship up until a few months ago. The turmoils the bay had thrown at them had taken them from colleagues to friends and he was certain if he looked directly at her, the emotion he felt might actually make him say something incredibly sappy and then they’d both be uncomfortable. @safiyebasak​

Safiye’s eyebrows arched and she tipped her head momentarily in disbelief, but the ever-present grin on her lips grew after a second of consideration. She supposed given a long life like his, such things wouldn’t be terribly high on her agenda either. Standing alone with Jamie allowed her a few minutes of peace that she hadn’t seen since that morning, and even that had been shot through with a mixture of stress and excitement that kept her from being completely relaxed. The genasi took a long pull from the glass of red wine in her hand, then backed half a pace to survey the party from the vampire’s side. “I am happy,” she said with a nod as she watched Rae laugh brightly at something Atlas said. “I can’t believe how many people are here,” she added. The wedding itself had been small, just a handful of people she and Rae considered close friends, but the reception was filled with people and energy and alcohol. “Did you bring Maven? I know you considered it a few weeks ago.”

“No, you don’t. And that’s what concerns me most.” Between the pair, Safiye had always far surpassed Rae in terms of being measured and precise in her actions. Logically distant, weighing every possibility before jumping and Rae just… burned through everything. All fury, which made her current species all the more ironic. For once, however, she opted to listen to her mother’s echoed lessons about sitting before speaking. One breath. Another. Her nerves steadied. “I understand,” she finally voiced. “I’m not saying that I like it at all, but I get why you want to do this.” To lose the veil was to lose Atlas, Beau, and a whole host of others who did not deserve the fate of nonexistence. Dual pitched gazes met one another. “And what happens if Thanatos’ price is worse?”

Safiye’s lips formed a line as she fell deep into thought, turning the fury’s words over in her head slowly as she tried to come up with a satisfactory answer. There wasn’t one. “One thing at a time,” she said at length, her tone even so as not to reveal too much of the worry she felt over whatever price Thanatos might ask for immortality. Though truly, what could be worse than asking her to give up the entire reason she wanted to be immortal anyway? “I’m planning for as much as I can within the ritual itself, but I can’t control anything outside of it without expending more magic to create wards or something, and I’m sure this will take everything I have in addition to everything the other genasi have.” She gave the fury’s hand another gentle squeeze, then laced their fingers. “Do you think you can be there when the ritual happens? Not close enough that you might affect the ritual or alert any of the genasi that you’re there, but still near enough to see if something goes wrong.”

A smile crept onto the cherry-stained lips of the vampire, “I believe not thinking about this sort of thing your whole life is ideal. The more open-minded, the better.” This is why she loved to do these sorts of things, make and sell pieces that she had always viewed as art. The clothes were, in a way, art pieces and a way to show the inner vision of the one who wears it. Rimona scribbled notes as Safiye spoke, finding it quite funny that the genasi shunned the idea of shine while her partner’s eye caught a black that sometimes took a raven-esque hue. Different, yet next to each other they would work harmoniously, “I have several different lace’s and textures that you can look through— I’m certain we can find a combination that works well. So, I suppose that just leaves me to ask if you have thought about a style? More vintage or modern? I don’t want to overwhelm you with questions, maybe you have just a couple picture examples? I can draw up some sketches while you take a look at fabrics- go from there?”

This was far easier than Safiye originally thought it would be, and as the conversation continued, she grew more and more comfortable in the other’s presence. She smiled as Rimona assured her this was as things should be despite the genasi’s somewhat wayward approach to the idea of getting married. At the suggestion of perhaps looking at some fabrics while the other woman drew some quick sketches to get some ideas down, Safiye nodded and stood, then headed towards the array of fabrics nearby to take a look, her bottle of water held in both hands so as not to accidentally spill. “Um... more modern, I suppose. Sleek rather than voluminous, but I think I’d still like a bit of a train,” she said, one hand lifting from the water bottle so she could trace a subtle pattern in a colorful brocade. “How long have you been doing this?”

“Then I won’t press it any further, this spell you’re working on, is there a way to build a failsafe into it.. A means to protect yourself should this go wrong…. From the others, or Thanatos?” Emre asked, it was a breath away from betrayal, but as far as he knew genasi, particularly those of opposing elements, weren’t known for working well with one another. The fact that each element had resigned to putting their power towards a common goal seemed in itself an impressive feat, but Emre would reserve any praise for if and when they managed to pull it off. 

Their father was never an easy subject, in fact it was likely the most difficult one. Emre had been so angry when he thought that Safiye had intentionally snubbed their father’s funeral, but of course it was a work of their mother’s to simply leave his sister out of the conversation entirely. A year he spent picking up the pieces of a woman who’d discarded someone he cared for so deeply, and even still he- “I’m going to tell mother what happened.” Emre decided this in an instant, the words had passed his lips before he’d really thought this through. “All this time I’ve been protecting her, or saying I was, but I don’t want to anymore. I died, that’s the truth.” 

Safiye nodded a few times slowly as she considered, her gaze distant as she mentally ran through the frameworks she’d already written on the spell itself. “It’s a complicated ritual,” she began, then retrained her gaze on her brother before she continued. “Calling a god requires focus, and straying from the spell will cause it to fail. I’d like to think it will be too big and too intense for anyone to do something stupid and greedy, particularly when doing so could cause it to backfire. As far as protecting us from Thanatos...” She trailed off and sighed, her shoulders dropping somewhat. “There’s not much I can do to protect us against anything he would do.” It was a risk they all agreed to take, and as Dante said--he chose them once, hopefully he’d do it again. “I’m going to see if Rae will be there. Far enough to hopefully be concealed from the other genasi, but close enough to perhaps intervene if she spots something happening from the outside.”

The decision to finally tell their mother he’d died was no doubt one that took him a long time to make. Though his relationship with her was far different than the one Safiye had with her in her childhood, it was no doubt just as tense and difficult. They were not particularly doting parents, and Emre bore the brunt of their expectations for greatness. “I think it’ll be better that way,” she offered. “I hope she doesn’t lose it when you tell her.”

“Think it’s aboot time we’re allowed some fun again.” His eyes go from where Cici’s flexing her paw to Safiye only to duck his head to look at the cat again when he catches her watching him. It’s something he desperately wanted, to feel unburdened by the weight on his shoulders. It’d gone from just keeping himself safe to Tobias, to Maven, to every damn vampire he knew, and then to Patroclus and Hyacinth. But it was everyone in his ever expanding close circle, he had people he cared about here that he couldn’t bear the thought of anything happening to any of them. Even Rae, his loyalty to Safiye extended to her. “Who knows, mibbe things will die down for a wee bit. Ye tae can get a honeymoon in Istanbul in before the next disaster.”

As Jamie realized she’d been watching him, the genasi’s gaze flicked away and to a couple who walked by the front window, their attention never once turning to the bookstore as they moved. All of them deserved a little peace now. On the subject of a honeymoon, a grin grew on Safiye’s lips and she leaned forward over the desk to set her chin in her hands, elbows resting atop the desk itself. “I’m taking her to Italy, actually. I haven’t told her where we’re going, just what sort of weather to plan for,” she said, unable to keep the smile from broadening as she thought on it. “Kas offered to let us use a house she owns there in exchange for a curse I broke for her. I would have helped her anyway, but the offer was perfect. I think it’s in Tuscany? I think it’s in the countryside.”

“What a convoluted reason not to like somebody,” Dante remarked on Vasilis and Rae, though he could see why the fury would not be fond of the fire genasi, he supposed that was likely why Vasilis wasn’t a fan of hers. He seemed ambivalent, and his nature made him potentially volatile, Rae would be a threat to that. “I have no doubt Kasandra would like to be present, but I prefer she away from the mess. Complicated, because I do need to ask for her help. Hopefully she can be convinced to stay home.” The genasi would have preferred her not know at all, but he’d already told her his intentions in the spirit of being uncharacteristically open and honest. 

“I would appreciate it.” Dante nodded he wasn’t raised quite in the same fashion as Safiye, his coven never let him doubt the existence of the Gods. They were very real, and they were very powerful. He was descended from one such God, Loki, who fathered Fenrir, who in turn all Lykos were born from. “If only they were nothing but a bunch of stories,” Dante sighed, “not sure if that would make this easier or more difficult. Less complicated, sure.” The genasi smirked sardonically, his features breaking for the first time since their conversation had started. “I was raised differently, but I don’t think I’m anymore prepared to face on of them than you are, I just keep telling myself that he already chose me once, he will do so again.”

If Safiye had learned anything about furies and how they related to the supernatural world, it was that they were a polarizing sort of presence, where very few had a neutral opinion on them given their reputation and place in the world. She shrugged wordlessly at Dante’s words. It must have been difficult for Ajax to be in the middle of Vasilis and the twins, and she didn’t doubt that it strained their relationship somewhat. Furies couldn’t simply turn off whatever impulse they felt to enact vengeance where their creators demanded it; to stay her hand meant she truly loved him.

“I’d hate for her to be caught in something,” Safiye agreed. Nixon and Rae were among the supernatural sorts most capable of defending themselves, and while she was sure cubi were more durable than they looked, she wasn’t keen on her friend testing that just to be close while the genasi summoned a god. She hoped he was right, that Thanatos allowed them to survive the ritual once, and hopefully he’d do the same in this one. The air genasi ran her fingers through her hair and nodded after a few moments as she considered his words. “I’ll try to get the ritual done as quickly as I can--I don’t want to sit and wait for something to go wrong again. The faster I can finish it, the faster all of you can look it over and make adjustments.”

There was a story there that Daphne was extremely curious about, but she held back from asking her usual questions. If both Dante and Safiye held that hostility towards the rift, the water genasi had to take it as a red flag. But she couldn’t help the nagging words at the back of her mind that Freya had said to her— she wants to change sides. Daphne bit at the inside of her cheek and pondered at actually telling Safiye, not sure if the information should stay planted within herself forever. “She’s trying to make amends, be pro-veil,” her tone was bitter and left a foul taste, hazel eyes darting to the fellow genasi’s. In that moment, Daphne realized just how angry she still felt even though it had been weeks since the rift and she had spoken. The distance between the two had only soured her memory, “I’ve been attempting not to overthink it, but it just seems so peculiar.”

Safiye rolled her eyes at the idea of Freya wanting to switch sides as though she hadn’t manipulated Dante and herself under the guise of helping last time. She had no reason to believe the woman was sincere this time, not when the only thing to have changed was the momentary success and then semi-permanent failure to tear the veil. “Old beings do not become that way without using people to keep themselves alive,” she said stiffly. “I’m not going to tell you what to do or who to believe, but I will say to be careful with her. She’s more powerful than all of us and immortal, and she hasn’t given any of us a reason to believe she’s trustworthy.” The elder genasi paused for a moment and considered, then tipped her head to the side slightly and folded her arms. Curiosity eventually won over bitterness. “What did she say to you?”
