ย ย ย ย โI GOT YOU something.โ asmodeus approached maddie with his arms behind his back, hiding the small package from sight. โbut you have to guess what it is. twenty questions?โ in truth, it was nothing special: just a pair of slippers. but they were furry, and asmodeus had paid one of the servants top dollar to throw them together. maddie deserved a little pick-me-up, and this party was decidedly less fun than others where heโd run into her. || @prncssmcddsโ
ย ย ย ย HEโD BEEN TRYING to be discrete, but asmodeus couldnโt help the feeling that someone was going to blame him for this little imposition. it wasnโt that he didnโt blame them. there were times that he wondered if he shouldnโt be more subtle about his history. but jasmine had always been kind when heโd visited agrabah (even when heโd broken the hearts of a few of her ladies-in-waiting). โtheyโre going to blame me,โ he said, disdain curling the corner of his lip. โi can hear it now. the dust has settled, everyoneโs getting used to the idea, and the blame game is going to start.โ || @farawcyโ
( oscar isaac, cismale, he/him ) have you seen ASMODEUS in the castle? they are 40 years old and is the child of THE CHERNABOG, and i heard theyโre pretty SELFLESS, but can also be a little REMOVED. wonder how they feel about being trapped here.
itโs not easy when your dad is basically satan. asmodeus was the only child of the demon chernabog, and he had a lot to live up to. dear ole dad loved havoc, and his childhood was spent learning the various methods of necromancy and general fuckery.
asmodeus hated it. he played along because he felt like he had to, but loathed it, wearing that -- as soon as he was able -- heโd leave it all behind.
he never really knew his mother, only that she was some random harpy that Daddy Dearest(tm) knocked up so he could have a legacy.
when asmodeus was old enough, he left home with the promise of raising a little hell in the world, but instead... asmodeus basically escaped. it was pretty easy to stay gone, given that his dad couldnโt be in the sunlight. at first, he hid his history, ashamed of who he was, afraid of the judgment that would come when others discovered his lineage. but eventually, he realized that he couldnโt escape his past.
asmodeus began to be open about who his father was, and proving that he was nothing like the chernabog. asmodeus has the power of necromancy, but refuses to use it. because his mother is a harpy, he has sharp claws that he can retract at will. again... he really doesnโt use them for anything, but theyโve come in handy when he needs to slice fruit and thereโs nothing else there.
asmodeus never believed in love. he had relationships with people, but never stayed the night. he fucked, but never lingered. he was adamant with his lovers about his lack of commitment, not wanting to bring a child into his lineage. as far as asmodeus was concerned, it died with him.
what asmodeus didnโt know was that one of his lovers became pregnant. asmodeus has a child that he doesnโt know is out there, but heโs in for the shock of his life if he finds out.
tl;dr: asmodeus doesnโt have longterm relationships, but is genuinely a good person. he has powers that he doesnโt use. heโs open about who his father is now, but as a result, tends to hang in the background until people realize he can be trusted.
Nadia smiled lightly settling back against the rail of the balcony, fiddling lightly with the flute in her hand, it was one sheโd had since she was quite young as evidenced by the lopsided flowers and birds sheโs painted on herself.ย โI usually donโt play for other people that often, butโฆokay.โ She said bringing the instrument up to her mouth after another glance over at him. She exhaled before allowing her eyes to fall shut as she lost herself in her revery of the notes. After several minutes of playing she finally concluded the tune, and opened her eyes again looking over at him.
ย ย ย ย THE SOUND WAS comforting. the melody haunting. for a few moments, arion was taken back to his childhood, to the songs that his mother would sing him to sleep at night (the nights before she disappeared forever and he was left alone). he watched her, the way she closed her eyes, the way she lost herself in the song, and when the last notes faded, arionโs heart was pounding. his voice was thick with emotion. โthank you,โ he said, genuinely. โthank you for the music. i needed it.โ
ย ย ย ย โI WAS REMEMBERING,โ bluebell started, tapping leafโs shoulder with her own, โwhat it was like in the hollow. i rarely left. but you. you did.โ with a little grin -- playing this off was easier than dealing with the cold reality of the situation -- she added, โlooks like iโll never want to leave my little hovel again, huh?โ || @faritvlesโ
ย ย ย after a while of trying to penetrate the bubble with her powers to no avail eloise settled into a lavish couch in an empty sitting room she had found earlier. a small pile of icicles sat on the floor near her feet, she gave up on trying to use them to pierce the shield when all they were doing was ricocheting back towards her.ย using her magic she made a mug of hot chocolate appear in her hands, sipping it as she tried to push down the stress being stuck here was starting to cause her. it wasnโt long before someone joined her on the couch, it was next to impossible to be alone in a room with so many people gathered in the castle.ย โwould you like one,โ she gestured to the mug in her hand.ย โitโs hot chocolate, but i can make whatever if youโd rather something else.โ she was only offering to be polite when truly all she wanted right now was to be alone.ย @spelledrbโ
ย ย ย ย โI THINK IโLL live.โ despite what good sheโd seen it do, snow was still suspicious of magic. and this magic came from the child of one of the strongest women in the lands. who knew what she was capable of? although the girl seemed to have control over herself, snow settled for the company itself instead, sinking onto a fainting couch opposite. โcute trick, though. the hot chocolate... not the ice. though i suppose thatโs something, too.โ making a sweeping gesture towards the door, as though motioning to the grand out there, snow sighed. โweโve all tried everything. we just need to wait now. see whatโs going to happen.โ
Since their imprisonment Anura locked herself away in what looked like a library far from the party. Sitting elegantly on the ledge of a rather large open window, Anura surrounded herself with the animals that lived within the castle ground. Singing softly, Anura giggled when the squirrels tried to sing along. She always felt at peace in her most purest form surrounded by animals of the forest. Placing a free piece of her white hair behind her pointed ear, the snow pixie allowed her wings to fold gently against her back as she played with the squirrels and chipmunks. Hearing the sound of the door open, she snapped her yellow and blue eyes towards the door with a guarded look as she shifted her body towards the open window more ready to take flight when threatened.ย โW-Who goes there?โ
@spelledrbโ
ย ย ย ย โOH, CALM DOWN, will you?โ agathe was currently in avoidance mode. the last thing she wanted to do at the moment was deal with people anymore, much less her own feelings. theyโd been compromised tonight, challenged by the proximity of so many people sheโd spent so long playing nice with; and now, all she wanted to do was escape the throngs. it was safer, tucked away. it was better when no one could find her. agathe made herself comfortable next to the pixie, making a flicking gesture towards one of the squirrels that had gathered there so it scrambled away. โrodents. am i right? little vermin. you gotta problem with them? infestation? i know a guy.โ
She merely gave her husband a look, one that told him clearly what she thought of his attempt to calm her fears. She knew he was doing this for her own good, but that didnโt stop her from worrying. But she knew when she was fighting a losing battle and this was one of those times. When he thought of something, he barely everย listened to her. But if he had to do something reckless, she just wished heโd enlist the help of the others in the castle to ensure he wasnโt facing this all on his own.ย โOkay,โ she whispered back when his arms slid around her and brought her close. They kissed for a few moments before she drew back, but kept her forehead leaning against his, needing that intimacy to comfort them both,ย โI love you Phillip.โ
ย ย ย ย PHILLIP STOLE ANOTHER kiss, this one lingering a bit longer. it was clear through his unspoken urgency that he wasnโt sure he could keep his promise to her to stay safe. he didnโt know if evil was lurking around the corner... or if it was waiting for its moment. regardless, phillip also didnโt want for aurora to see him like this. so concerned. so frightened for what could happen. he broke away from the kiss suddenly, murmuring, โiโll be back when I can.โ if he didnโt leave now... he wouldnโt. he backed away from aurora before either could convince him not to go.
hours later, phillip was no closer to finding any answers... but at least he was closer to keeping his promise to aurora. when he entered the bedroom that had been designated for the two of them, it was just past dawn. phillip was ragged. tired. he wore his weariness as though it was his own skin and, as he sunk down onto the edge of the bed, his fingers bore into the bridge of his nose. he prayed he didnโt wake his wife.
the prince let out a breath he didnโt realize he was holding, almost positive that he was going to have to argue his way into helping as he had done many times in the past.ย โ good? uh, yes! good! โ he stammered, smiling at the king. as the oldest of his siblings, his parents had finally ordered that he started preparing in case a time came when heโd have to assume leadership, and learning how to assert and handle himself in times of panic was just one of the first steps. he was excited to see what he could learn from someone who had much more experience.ย โ well, i was outside on the first night โ yโknow, the feast? โ because it was way too hot in the ballroom and also i was trying to avoid this twelve year old duchess who thought if she kept asking to dance iโd fall in love with her or something which was cute the first few times but then it got a little creepy but i couldnโt say no because she was twelveโฆ anyways, when i was outside i saw the hunting party start to leave just to immediately turn around and come back. i thought,ย โย huh, thatโs weirdย โ because a whole group of people just turned around all together like they didnโt even mean to leave in the first place. and then i thought that maybe they just forgot something because i do that all the time, but when i went back inside the hunters that i passed by looked kinda distressed. so i guess i noticed from the very beginning, even though i never realized itย โtil later. โ
ย ย ย ย THE YOUNG MAN seemed so eager to help, so prepared to run into the thick of it without a single word to the contrary, and phillip had to admit... he saw himself in this kid. kid. he had to stop calling them that, or thinking about them in that way. perhaps elijah was overeager, as his words came tumbling over one another into some bare semblance of thought, and even then... phillip had to piece them all together. phillip nodded along with elijahโs words, hands clasped behind him as he walked, as though taking in some grand report. in many ways... he was. to some, the details would have been too much; to phillip, however, everything mattered. the twelve-year-old duchess, the hunting party... all the pieces needed to fit together in some semblance of a story. everything... everything was relevant. โdid you know the duchess before tonight?โ it wouldnโt have been the first time evil masqueraded itself in the form of an innocent. everyone needed to be accounted for. โitโs far too easy to mistake something for nothing. donโt blame yourself for not noticing something was amiss. thank you for telling me. can you show me the exact place the hunters turned around?โ
she could tell he was worried and possibly a little frightened and she couldnโt blame him entirely, everyone was a bit on edge now.ย โno donโt worry about that,โ she said quickly waving a hand to reassure his fears.ย โiโm sure everyone else is thinking about other things right now, but yes of course i can keep your secret,โ she gave him another small smile before taking another step towards him,ย โbut from what i overheard, you look like you might benefit from talking to someone you donโt knowโฆand seeing as none of us are going anywhere, iโd be happy to listen.โ
ย ย ย ย THE QUEEN WAS kind. her reputation had been as much, but arion was still grateful for her comments and even hand. โi wouldnโt dare lay my concerns at the foot of a queen, your majesty.โ of course... wasnโt that the kind of queen aurora was? concerned with everyone? aurora knew as well as anyone the damage that magic could do. arionโs mother had told him her story as a cautionary tale as a child. keep your secret, arion. itโs the only way you can prevent such a thing from happening. โi feel more useful when thereโs something to do. let me fix you tea. or something to eat.โ
โAgathe, for godโs sake, shut up,โ Max snapped, swiping the bottle back from her to take a long drink. He wasnโt sure which part of her proclamation had set him off, but there was something burning inside of him now. โI obviously give a shit or two about you, or I wouldnโt be here, would I? If you want to say you donโt care about other people, then whatever, thatโs on you, but donโt pretend to know how everyone else is feeling or what theyโre thinking. You might infuriate me sometimes, I might want to scream at you because I think youโre crazy sometimes, but I care. Iโm sure plenty of other people do too, and if youโd give them a chance to prove it, they would.โ
ย ย ย ย FOR ONCE, AT least temporarily, agathe was shocked into silence. very few people had ever told her to shut up in a way that made agathe actually want to listen. but here max was, uttering the words like they were nothing, before continuing that he cared about her. he gave a shit or two. agathe was floored and, frankly... she didnโt like the emotion that swelled in her chest, lodging in her throat. it was hard to swallow. and suddenly, her nose was burning, and then her eyes, and... agathe sucked in a quick breath that was released in a shudder. โyou shouldnโt give a shit.โ agathe tried to make her words clipped and angry, but they came out shaky, accompanied by tears. โi have given you no reason to give a shit. and youโre so warped. so... fucking warped. you say you want love, but you abandon people. women.โ
ย ย ย ย maybe agathe was just trying to hurt max now. test his theory that he cared. hadnโt he been the one to say that friends didnโt give up on one another? she wanted to push him to see how far heโd bend before he broke and proved her right by never talking to her again. โiโve seen so many girls fall in love with you, and when you get bored, or figure they arenโt the one, or when you donโt feel that romantic spark -- whatever the fuck that is -- you leave, and theyโre left picking up the fucking pieces. so what would you know about sticking around? what would you know about abandonment, when thatโs all you fucking do? i must be lucky that you like to fuck me, or youโd have been out the door a long time ago.โ
โpoetry? yeah i donโt think a damn sould here really will think poetry is anything they want to sit and listen to. unless they were actually that boring.โ bruce shrugged. he was not one for literature, sometimes heโd pass his time with a book or two but normally he didnโt find time to focus on any of it. he was brought back by the call of his name and really put in the spot as he wasnโt expecting the request she made.ย โyouโฆ want meย to stay?โ he asked. obviously he as reason to be curious. people usually didnโt want him lingering around them too long so to have her want him around took him by surprise.ย โwhy?โย
ย ย ย ย VIOLET DIDNโT UNDERSTAND bruceโs seeming reluctance to stay. or maybe it was just incredulity that sheโd even asked. but violet liked bruceโs company, she liked how she felt with him, and she liked hearing the stories he was willing to share with her. โbecause i find you fascinating.โ goosebumps now prickling over violetโs arms from the cold, she tucked her chin against her knees, still glancing up at bruce. โis the weather like this in the underworld, too?โ
