Fairytale Endings

People | Vanity | Tunes | DiarySophia Lexington | Induced Sedation My mother's saying goes like this: you get what you want in life if you're blonde and beautiful with a little bit of bitch thrown in. I believe in fairytale endings and that the best things will always find a way to me.

I hear Medusa’s lounge is quite exciting, but I’m not allowed to go to any bar or lounge apart from The Melting Pot. (Pausing, Cassidy shakes her head and places a hand on her chest, smiling apologetically) I’m sorry, I didn’t catch your name. I’m Cassandra Carlyle, but most people call me Cassidy. And you must be new to New Orleans?

[sophiableek]

You're not allowed to? (Shaking her head she looks the girl over) You should come with me, one day, when you can. It'll be a ball. (Smiling as she introduces herself, Sophia gives her a slight wink) Sophia Lexington, it's a pleasure to meet you, my dear. (Shaking her head, she gives a light chuckle) Oh no! I am not, I've been here for... nine months? Almost ten? Wow, it's been a while. Oh! (Rummaging through her purse, she pulls out one of her OutReach business cards and hands it to Cassidy) You might know this! It's a program, err, organization that I started up with a few other people. We've been going around to schools to talk about sexuality and coming out of the closet. It's fabulous.

Make your way over to Medusa's Lounge for some fun.

Sophia's Warehouse Loft

After the biggest argument with her mother in New York, Sophia packed her things, took every penny, bond, stock, and credit card that was in in her name, cashed it all in and spent it all in a worn down warehouse. With some flirting, schmoozing and pouting, she was able to get one of the best prices for a complete remodel of the place, resulting in her lovely warehouse loft. Upstairs contains her bedroom, kitchen and private bath while downstairs there is nothing  but empty space on one side, with a bar/kitchen on the other. This is where she throws her parties (pay for entry, so she makes some money there), hosts meetings and events for OutReach, and lightly practices her combat and powers.

[sophiableek]

Yup, I'm her.

[julian-blackthorne]

[He smiles at her before he frowned slightly] Well that sounds rough, it’s awesome you got through it though. Do I get to expect an even more kick ass and fabulous version of you now, with your new found independence? Well that’s extremely optimistic of you. [he eyes widen and he quickly shakes his head, turning pink] Ah no thanks, I’m sure there are girls around here who are up for that though so you should go find them. [He lets out a sigh and calms down a little] You should really stop messing with me, it’s not cool, man. I suppose you were, still it’s kind of understandable. Good for you though Soph, I’m glad you accepted it.

[sophiableek]

Yes! Independence! It took a year of reconstructing to come out with this new Sophia, but she's just as great as she ever was. (Laughing at his reaction to her advances, she pats his hand) Girls are heavenly, I could have them all day. Sadly, I do have the work - but I get a decent amount of tips where I waitress, so it's all good. (Chuckling, she shakes her head) You're just adorable, Julian. You get all tense and clammy and it's just too cute. I'm glad I accepted it, too. I wonder where I'd be had I not.... Well, how've things been with you?

Huh, that’s really nice for a result of one drunken night. I hope you guys go national, well, if you need anything just let me know. [He smiles taking a sip of his half-cold coffee.] Oh, sorry to here that… When I got caught dating my brother’s best friend… well, mother didn’t really care but Gary freaked out like the hell has been broken loose. That was the good ol’ days… Anyway, you want me to call you Lexington, then? [Letting out a small chuckle, Oz shows his palms as the gesture of surrender.] Fine, fine, I’ve missed you people. [He pokes out his tongue playfully, then puts it back with a small smile.] Not really. I’ve been busy working and, well, I’ve been dating some people but nothing really turned out to be serious. How about you?

[sophiableek]

I hope we go national, too! But it's great, really, I love working with people. Who would've thought that Sophia Bleek would've turned out this way. (Giving Oswald a casual wink, she shrugs and sinks into the couch next to him) Sometimes I think I was the stupid one because I just packed my stuff up and left but... what do you do when people don't accept you? I couldn't convince her I was the same person and I was trying to turn over a new leaf and... No, Ozzy Boy, Bleek is good. I miss Bleek. (Nodding happily she claps her hands) Yes! Ah, I've also just been casually dating. Haven't felt like I met "the one", you know? The one who makes your stomach churn and just... makes you feel alive. Yup, haven't met her.

[soldierparachute]

[sophiableek]

Yup, I'm her.

[julian-blackthorne]

[He smiles spotting Sophia and walks over] Soph! Long time no see, how’ve you been? [He chuckles at her antics] Lexington is it, why the name change? You honestly couldn’t have said all that before that one time you cornered me in the kitchen now could you?

[sophiableek]

Why if it isn't Mister Julian Blackthorne! (Chuckling, she swings an arm around him) Tiff with the mother, didn't fit her mold. Told me to get out because I'm a "disgrace" - but it made me independent. I figured out what the world was - it's still magical, too. (Nodding her head, she grins and gives him a wink) Oh, Julian, Julian. You'll always have that special place in my heart - the only exception. I'm totally up for doing you behind this counter if you'd want to. (Winking again, she laughs and waves her hand off) I kid, I kid. You're not my type. But it's crazy isn't it? I was kind of fooling myself back then.

[batty-old-oz]

[batty-old-oz]

You’ve changed your name? Well, I’m still gonna call you Bleek though. OutReach? Where did I hear that from? [He raises eyebrows with a smile.] Really? That’s great! Good for you. Yeah, I’m proud of you. [He gives her a thumb up.] Yeah, I think I grew a sort of Stockholm syndrome with them. I kinda missed you people. [He scratches his head idly with her words. Giving her a small nod, he purses his lips.] No, it’s not. I mean, the attacks are terrible and I heard about lots of people getting hurt and dying… Still, it doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy the reunions. [He groans as she pinches him in the cheek.] Good. I’m happy for you. Although you don’t have to rub it up on me like that. [He chuckles playfully.]

[sophiableek]

We've been on television a few times! It's great, really. We've just started here in New Orleans, but we want to go national! We're helping kids come out of the closet and reach towards becoming accepting of themselves, loving themselves. I thought of it one drunken night. (Smiling, she nods her head) I'm proud of me too... It's why I changed my name, mother didn't want to have to do anything with me. It's not "God's will for a woman to be with another woman." (Looking down, she bites on her lips and looks up) You really missed us, admit it. But yes! We shall enjoy reunions. (Squinting her eyes at Oswald, she beams) Do you have a special someone yet, Ozzy boy?

[sophiableek]

Yup, I'm her.

Sophia Lexington, eat your heart out boys. Sad to say that I don't play for you team, but rather the other. (Winking saucily, she chuckles) Hun, the lady next to you is who I'm giving googley eyes too. Please, step aside. 

[batty-old-oz]

[batty-old-oz]

Whoa, Bleek. [He blinks slowly as she starts to talk really fast, and really long.] Okay, you might wanna take a breath there? I mean- [He makes an awkward face as she hugs him.] ooookay, now we’re hugging. I missed you too, kinda, and it’s good to see you but we’re hugging now. And that’s enough of hugging for me now. [He babbles awkwardly crooking the side of his lips, backing away from the hug.] So, uh, how have you been? It’s been a while.

[sophiableek]

Bleek! I haven't heard that in a while. Here it's Sophia Lexington, I've been here a while though, Ozzy boy. Built a name for me - started an organization called OutReach - I finally came out! Aren't you proud of me? (Squealing, she grins widely and bites her lip) Breathing is overrated. Really, I missed so many people from St. Mary's, it wasn't too healthy but... I did need to start my life on my own but I missed you terribly... And Seb, Cat and even Lea and just... (Pursing her lips together, he lets out a sigh) Is it sad that I'm kind of glad these attacks have been happening? Because I get to see you guys again but then... It's on bad terms, but - Gah. (Waving her hand in the air, she pinches his cheek) You missed me lots. And I've been great! Wonderful, wondrous. Sex with women is delectable.

[Occupying a table at a coffee shop with stack of books and recent research papers, Oz buries himself down to the couch with a heavy book on his laps.]

[sophiableek]

Finally a friendly face! (Sophia exclaims, rushing past people to sit next to Oswald) You know I actually thought of you a lot throughout the years, but didn't know where you at so I couldn't send you post cards and letters. But I made them. I have them, I knew I'd see you so I thought I'd give them to you when I did. You know what, Ozzy boy? They're back at my place and... (Giving the male a toothy grin, she pulls him into a hug) I can't believe I actually missed you this much.

Love comes first, gender comes second. My heart chooses, not other people's views, just my heart.

[sabrinapierce-blog]

(Sabrina’s jaw slacks at the sight of Sophia. The first thought that pops into her head is the fact that this woman had asked her on a date. But the second, and more important thought, was that she had witnessed Sabrina exercising her powers. S-gene carriers were hunted down by humans, warrants for their arrest existed. Hiding it was the most important part. Yet here the blonde was, watching her. An excuse, she needed an excuse.) I-I wasn’t… It’s…

[sophiableek]

Beautiful. (Sophia says simply with her brows furrowed. How long has she hid her true self from the world, when all she preached about was being herself? Sometimes, it felt as if the world was too heavy because she couldn't practice what she preached and often times she just... she felt like a cheater. Witnessing what Sabrina was doing, however, somehow gave her a release she didn't know she desperately needed) I - (Her voice hitched, causing Sophia to take in a steady breath to calm herself; she was excited and that couldn't happen because people around her just stood in place when she got too... roused) It's okay. I understand. I know.... (Pause) ... I'm the same.

[sabrinapierce-blog]

(The empty alleyway at the corner of the city was Sabrina’s favorite place for experimentation. While she wasn’t the most vocal or confident person, she was sure of two things; one, that she is the smartest and most ambitious person she knows and two, conducting energy experiments using her powers was best done away from prying ears. With a large target at the end of the alleyway, Sabrina places her fingers  against a portable energy supplier she had taken from the University. Taking a deep breathe, she glances around before absorbing the energy and striking it right at the bullet. Sabrina grins, satisfied with herself until she hears a figure behind her having witnessed the entire thing) I-I didn’t… (Turning around, Sabrina turns to the the person desperately, like a deer caught in headlights)

[sophiableek]

(Sometimes it was hard concentrating on the good of things rather than the bad; she had to concentrate to not lose her temper, because when she did... well, things happened that she herself couldn't explain. Her mother called her "special", then again that's what she called her when Sophia came out. Quirking a brow as she hears a rustling in the alleyway, she makes her way over to find Sabrina, the girl from the Women's Center, shooting... well, some kind of energy out from her. With wide eyes, she moves slowly towards her and shakes her head as the blonde gives a bewildered look) N-No... (Her brows furrow as she looks at the target and then back to Sabrina) H....How?

[sabrinapierce-blog]

Right, here we go...

[sabrinapierce-blog]

(Her eyes widen in awe at the way she spoke; so confident, so sure. Lord help her if she could get a decent sentence out without tripping at her words.) That’s a, um, good thing to live by. Heh, I just s-study molecules and energy and stuff. (Sabrina says with a shrug) Yeah, that’s a nice way of—(Her jaw drops. What? Her blue eyes widen almost comically. She could already feel her breathe becoming heavy and her lower lip trembling. Oh no, oh no, oh no…) W-What? (Sabrina chokes out and fearfully glances around the room) No… I—No. I c-can’t, I’m not… I—No. Sorry, I’m sorry… No. I just, I can’t. (Tearing her eyes shamefully away fro the blonde, she reaches for the doorknob) I can’t, I’m sorry, no…

[sophiableek]

(Sophia blinked a few times as the blonde choked out words, stumbling and stuttering over her words. Her lips become a fine line as she turns around, her hand reaching for the doorknob. This is one of the problems with Sophia - the fact that she was so confident and comfortable with herself that she didn't take into consideration how other people were, socially. Biting down on her lip, she lets out a small sigh and quickly takes a light grip of Sabrina's wrist) Wait -- Look, I'm sorry. (Sophia coos softly as her eyes plead for the girl to stay) I'm sorry, Sabrina, I'm sorry. Take slow, deep breaths. (Biting down on her lip, she moves slowly towards Sabrina) It's okay, I'm sorry. Can you turn around, Sabrina?

[sabrinapierce-blog]

Right, here we go...

[sabrinapierce-blog]

I—Thank you, (Her eyes dart to several directions in anxiety. Gorgeous eyes? Gulping, she nods nervously) It’s, um, therapeutic. People need people, and, stuff. (She mentally slaps herself for sounding like am imbecile) I—You help people, so you get it. (Sabrina nods to herself, turning to Sophia as she opens the door into one of the clinics) I… I can’t say I miss it. I grew up there, too. (Shuddering at the memories, she turns to the items in the clinic) But, uh, Herefordshire’s home now. Has been since I-I got a scholarship at St. Mary’s Uni for Physics. So, um, this is the clinic. A lot of the, er, women and kids come here. A-A lot of them come from a-abusive homes, and we try to supply as m-much as possible.

[sophiableek]

It is therapeutic - I love when people tell me that OutReach inspired them to come out to themselves and their families. It's what I strive for - for people to love the way they're meant to. With all their hearts. (Smiling, she giggles slightly at Sabrina tripping over her words) Ah, home is where the heart is. My heart is in OutReach, but it stays in NYC. Herefordshire is a nice place to call home, though. (Nodding her head as she speaks, Sophia turns to Sabrina and puts her hand on her shoulders. Looking her in the eyes, she gives her a friendly smile) You're blonde, you're beautiful and there's no need for you be to nervous around me, alright? We're both here to do something for the community - help people. (Sophia's eyes move over Sabrina, her finger moving to poke the girl on the face) Because, if you don't stop acting like an adorable little puppy, Sabrina, I might have to take you out with me sometime.
