@anomaliae asked: "Who exactly are you, anyway?" - piper to riley for a cute lil' meeting

Riley chuckled under his breath. He hadn't expected anyone other than Amy to be in the office over the weekend. He especially didn't expect to get locked into the break room with an unknown agent in civilian clothes. "Someone who belongs here--What about you?" He demanded, his eyes glittering with curiosity.

The plight of a broken door lock left them stranded. He wrenched at the handle and struggled to swallow a grunt of effort. No reason to let her know he wasn't really much of an agent. Though his hoodie likely betrayed his lack of charisma. "I know this seems bad now, but my co-worker's supposed to be here soon." Whether he said as much for his benefit or hers, he couldn't tell.

@anomaliae​ asked: "people aren't going to think we're actually together if you don't hold my hand." Rhett to Andrew

Andrew shot his bandmate and casual wedding date a skeptical sideways glance. He didn’t bring her here to be something that they weren’t. Sure, it’d be nice to rub it in his smug asshole cousins’ face that he had a hot, former pop star for a date, but that seemed like a far cry from the truth. “Ok--but do you want them to think we’re together?” He asked. He stopped short of lying.

Maybe she felt the same flicker of anger in her chest that he did when he first explained the situation to her. Look, I just want someone there who gets me, someone who isn’t settling and raising this marriage and kids bullshit up like the be all end all. He knew that there wasn’t anything more than professional chemistry here; why would he push it?

@anomaliae​ asked: “you’re right, i don’t have to, but I’m going to.”  (give me some on-the-run Eddie and Christy pls)

Eddie sat across from her at the coffee table in the Wheeler’s basement. He didn’t like being the topic of conversation, especially these sorts of group come-to-Jesus meetings. Yet his presence in town had become an unnecessary risk that he didn’t want the others to take. His wanted status distracted from the war being raged on Hawkins. He’d called them there to tell them he was leaving and he was barraged with opinions and protests that he didn’t expect. His brows raised at Christy’s offer to go along with him to Canada. They all reasoned someone had to make it out alive and that he’d never make it without her.

“Thank you for the belated vote of confidence,” he hummed, looking towards her for a long moment. He didn’t think either of them would be particularly cut out for this. “Going to? Like I don’t have a choice. What if I just decide to stay here?” He didn’t think running was the way to go before. But Dustin laid it out to him in a way that made an obnoxious amount of sense. He sighed and rubbed his hands against his jeans. “Ok--let’s do this.”

@anomaliae asked: "I'm not asking for someone to eat, just something. Please." (poor wittle war cwiminal wizzie @ vax or percy)

Vax was stationed in the dungeon for the evening, checking on the prisoners. The rest of the party rotated into the position occasionally but he liked to be the one watching out. He carried a deep sense of responsibility towards the group and the town of Whitestone. Mostly, watching the prisoners helped him feel in control. He lingered at the border of the cage, just close enough to tempt the vampire to lash out, testing her desires somewhat passively.

“I can bring you the blood of a pig but I fear that borders on cannibalism, a swine eating a swine.” He folded his arms and watched her reaction to the insult closely. How could he trust a creature with no real moral compass, a creature of the type that had nearly killed him?

@anomaliae​ gets a plotted thing

Charlie woke in a cold sweat, the dense smell of hay in the communal barn choking his senses. The flashes of Willow lingered in his mind; the warm temptation of her collar bone jutting out, the curve of her back as she leaned across the flowers, and her sweet smile as he pressed his lips to hers. Pressing the heel of his hands into his eyes, he shook himself awake with a grunt. Yet the fact remained that he would see her as soon as he got out of bed and headed towards the mess hall. It was just a dream, he told himself as he got out of the cot and threw on his hoodie to protect against the early morning chill in the air. They had been at the commune for a little over a week. One drawback to their trusty van was all the old parts that needed to be ordered for it. Either way, they’d soon be gone, on to the next spot. Just a few more days. Unlike Charlie, his band mates had all found little flower children to pass the long nights with. 

Charlie found himself both increasingly bored and hostile towards the whole enterprise at the commune. Perhaps part of that irritation was due to the fact he had run out of heroin a couple of days ago. The withdrawal could also explain the sweat and dreams and that realization calmed him a bit as he walked to the mess hall. He watched Willow from across the room, his heart surprisingly quick, as he prepared his plate. He hesitated to approach her even though they had eaten together several times. He simply nodded in her direction and gave her a polite smile before choosing a seat some ways away, mostly on its own.

@anomaliae gets another plotted thing

Ben was on his lunch break when he saw the unfamiliar woman wheeling the television through the hallway. He greeted her with a polite nod and small smile before asking, “Would you like a hand with that? These things can be quite finicky.” He didn’t wait for an answer before he began to move in the same direction as the woman. It was common to see substitutes who looked lost and overwhelmed in the halls. However, this young woman appeared surprisingly capable. Doing his best to be a gracious host, he introduced himself. “Dr. Linus--I teach History here. Are you in for Mrs. Arrenham? I heard she had an emergency procedure.” While not particularly outgoing, Ben kept an eye out around the school and privately lived for gossip. He never spread any of the information he learned around. Instead, he acted as a sponge of sorts. Who knew when a piece of information might be useful.
