@apochestral ------ VANYA HARGREEVES / STARTER CALL.

       “you play violin?” he approaches her carefully, almost as if he’s unsure that he wants to be having this conversation at all. after asking if she plays, he salutes a belated hello to her, then continues. “i used to love violin music. it seems really difficult to play.”

       ❛    i  would  have  loved  to  see  and  hear  you  play  in  your  recitals,  vanya.   i’m  sure  you  were  the  best  violinist  there.    ❜   grace  would’ve  loved  to  have  done  ---  and  still  do  ---  a  great  many  things  if  not  for  reginald’s  orders  and  watchful  eye.   her  situation  was  different  now  with  him  gone,  but  pogo  and  his  loyalty  was  still  another  matter.    ❛    perhaps  you  can  just  play  here  for  me,  like  when  you  were  younger.    ❜

@apochestral !     starter  call.

"... does it hurt? to use them, i mean."

          does it hurt??  the not-so-distant memory of his guts gurgling and vibrating inside him,  trying to make space for the entities that have claimed a place within him is the first thing that appears in ben’s brain.  he thinks of the skin ripping,  of the entities destroying everything and everyone around them,  of the bitterness he feels at the back of his throat that he knows it’s not his,  and wonders if vanya means if it hurts his body,  or his mind.  of course it does! he wants to say ——— ben wants to scowl at her,  number seven,  for not understanding that sometimes,  all he wants is to be more like her :  average,  plain.  UNREMARKABLE.  what a simple life she has.  he doesn’t,  because her lack of powers it’s not her fault ———

          ( but would he give them  to her,  if he could??   if dad found a way to,  somehow,  give their ordinary sister his extraordinary powers??  ben reconsiders,  and no.  he wouldn’t.  not only because he doesn’t want to be the last,  the outcast,  but also simply because he doesn’t hate vanya,  even if at times he worries she thinks they all do. )

          ben shakes his head,  instinctively linking his hands in front of him.  ‘ sometimes, ’  always,  he means,  but for once he wants someone to think that he’s COOL :   for controlling them,  like luther and his strength,  or diego and his breath and knives.  like allison,  who controls the people around her —— or five,  who controls something so intangible like space.  ( and klaus ...  he tries.  maybe.  that’s enough for him. )   even if that someone is his very normal,  very powerless sister.  ‘ they are very annoying when i make them do things,  though.  that’s why i always rest after a mission.  but mom says i’m getting stronger,  so it’s okay. ’

"so you -- you really think you can bring people peace?"

@apochestral —— VANYA HARGREEVES.

       “of course.” he says and signs it with a firm conviction— there is no doubt in his mind that his gift can bring people the peace that they’re searching for. and why should there be? he’s seen it. this time when he speaks, he doesn’t sign along with it. there’s no need, really, because she can’t understand it. unless she asks him to so that maybe she can learn, he thinks it’s less distracting if he keeps his hands still. he does so by sticking them into his pockets.

       “i believe that there’s a time that comes when everyone needs… divine intervention, maybe. a push from an outside force, something greater than themselves, something… that makes it feel less like we’re floating on our own and trying to keep our heads up when we forget how to swim. and i think that what i can do is like a lifeboat to get you to where you need to be for that force to reach you.” he smiles in a small upward twitch of his lips. “i have seen people change after hearing god’s message for them. i think it’s calming even just to know there’s something more than just us.”

        there’s  a  dreamy,  far  off  look  in  her  eyes  as  she  looks  out  the  window  and  into  the  expanse  beyond,  her  sensors  so  out  of  focus  that  she  doesn’t  even  notice  vanya  come  padding  into  the  living  room.   her  gaze  turns  to  her  only  for  a  moment  to  smile,  hand  outstretched  to  beckon  her  closer.   ❛    it  must  be  so  nice  to  be  among  such  wonders  in  the  night  sky,  don’t  you  think ?   they’re  so  beautiful.    ❜   it  was  past  the  children’s  curfew  and  grace  knew  she  had  to  usher  the  little  girl  back  to  bed,  but  she  couldn’t  deprive  her  of  this  view;  not  when  so  much  has  been  taken  from  her  already  without  her  knowing.   it  was  the  least  she  could  do  for  her.

besides,  the  likelihood  of  reginald  stepping  out  of  his  office  at  this  hour  was  slim  to  none.   she  could  allow  herself  to  go  against  his  orders  just  this  once.   ❛    we  can’t  stay  long,  but  we  can  read  all  about  the  stars  in  the  sky  during  your  studies  tomorrow,  darling.   i  promise.    ❜

@apochestral replied to your post “.”

i agree, tbh. the pacing in the show is MUCH better.

yea like the comic felt almost jarring, in a way? like vanya gets told off once and she’s like “oh man guess my siblings and then the whole world have to die”.  like the show felt much more.....Organic
