Y’all, there are only two more sleeps before I get to see @godblooded / @clawsextended !!!

I’m so blessed to have spent this year meeting up with people I’ve met on this beloved hellsite.

Kat, Boar, and Taylor all welcomed me right into the DC rpc, and I’m so grateful to have made /get to make some fantastic memories with them all in person.

" well, aren't you a sight for sore eyes. "

     contrary to what the daily planet used to publish about him, Lex Luthor had accepted his mortality ages ago. what he had really taken umbrage with was superman's mortality, or more accurately, his apparent lack of one. for so many years, he watched himself get older and older while the alien simply... didn't. imagine the immensity of his relief when superman finally started showing a little gray, confirming that he can, in fact, age. and what can age, can die.

     unless you're a specific species of jellyfish, but despite what his appearance may suggest, superman's biology is slightly more complex than that of hydrozoans.

     Lex had never really contemplated what someone like wonder woman 'should' look like in the year 2XXX. mercy was aging like the finest of wines, but she was aging; diana, on the other hand, looked exactly as she did the day she introduced herself to man's world. it's... well, it's kind of creeping him out. something that purports to be made of clay should theoretically share its properties, and clay erodes and discolors over time.

     so how much time needs to pass until wonder woman does the same?

" my wife would literally kill to know your skincare routine, " Lex remarks sarcastically, letting @am4zon know he's still his same charming self even after all these years. he's unsure how much superman's told her about his situation, if he's even told her anything at all, but one doesn't need microscopic vision to see how unwell he is—besides, it's not like this is diana's first time seeing a dying man.

"The Gotham rooftops must be lonely without you and Selina to keep them warm tonight."

"Enough." Bruce looks at Diana, a scowl on his lips from hearing that. "I'm not with her, but even if I was on a rooftop with her, Diana, nothing would happen between us. She wouldn't accuse me of something I'm doing, either."

[mxdam]

    "Enough, Diana." She's tired of this. Tired of giving chase to a girl determined to defy her at every turn, to live in the world without learning from her mistakes. "You cannot go to that part of the city--do you understand me? Because you are young--and innocent--and good. And you, you foolish--" her grasp on herself is slipping; her strident voice chafes against even her own ears. Margarethe shuts her eyes tightly and exhales heavily through her nose. A hand flies up, a barrier between herself and @am4zon. "Fine. Do as you will. But don't come crawling back to my door."

     they're walking into a trap. and while knowing it's a trap is better than going in blind, it doesn't change the fact that they are doing exactly what veronica cale hoped they would when she decided to throw an exclusive party to celebrate her acquisition of an artifact @am4zon had immediately recognized as being amazonian in origin: the time scissors of chronos. they're (supposedly) able to cut through the layers of time and space, but he doesn't think cale actually intends to use them... he thinks they're bait for wonder woman.

     and the bait worked, in the sense that the superficial and vacuous bruce wayne used his plus one to bring diana prince along because isn't chronos, like, greek or whatever? you're into that stuff, right, sweetheart? this wasn't his first choice, obviously, but diana insisted she needed to be the one to handle the time scissors... and nobody was about to argue with wonder woman—not even batman.

     bruce works the group of attendees with his trademark playboy charm, keeping an eye out for anyone suspicious... when he spots a familiar face in the crowd. well, a familiar head, to be more accurate: @imperiouslex with @teschfiles on one arm and mercy graves on the other, and it's safe to assume they're not here just to mingle.

     bruce leans in close to diana's ear, not taking his eyes off the trio.

" I think this may have just gotten a bit more complicated. "

[castlle]

"Are we really doing this?" :)))

"Your choice, Diana." Frank took a sip of his beer, he already handed over a pot of marigolds over to her when he walked in. "Look, I'm not gonna push if you don't want to. We can still have a nice dinner. If it's too soon, we can just talk."

𝐈𝐓   𝐖𝐀𝐒   𝐀   𝐍𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓   𝐎𝐅   𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐒𝐓𝐒   ―   the   first   time   seeing   the   Amazon   visibly   angry,   the   first   time   seeing   the   Lasso   of   Truth   up   close.   And,   incidentally,   that   same   Lasso   of   Truth   was   wrapped   around   her   ankle   and   preventing   the   (increasingly   panicked)   thief's   escape.

❛❛   Long   time,   no   see,   princess.   ❜❜    Her   grin   was   a   little   too   wide,   too   manic,   the   playful   and   flippant   mask   of   the   Black   Cat   threatening   to   shatter.   There   was   a   great,   great   many   things   that   she   had   done   that   would   warrant   this,   that   Felicia   couldn't   hazard   a   guess.   ❛❛   Don't   suppose   that   this   is   because   I   didn't   call,   is   it?   ❜❜

@am4zon wanted a starter.

HABITUAL DREAMING LONG - SINCE ABANDONED , times like these are relished even more . she reclines , weight propped on elbows and legs extended before her , head tilting back . softness of surroundings allows for relaxation , for considering of the very stars . " i don't believe that . " quiet in her admittance , she allows eyes to fall shut . " tell me . what do you see when you look at ——- all of this ? "
