There were certainly moments that Ella could have that thousand yard stare, usually thinking over things or planning – something along those lines. In this moment, it was all the possibilities – including calculating if there could be any type of retaliation – or had they safe guarded enough against that? Even then, she still had a part of her attention to the current room, at least paying enough attention to if someone approached.

Slowly, her eyes drifted towards James, a brow slightly raised as she set her glass down on the bar. “Do I need to feel better?” she countered, being equally evasive. The brunette didn’t trust easily, that much was certain. Giving a shrug, “Some men enjoy to take advantage, not that this could happen with me,” she left it there. The implication was clear enough, her bodyguards would never permit that to happen, especially Trevor, her right hand man.

A vague hint of a smirk formed on her lips, giving a small shake to her head, “There is nothing to talk about. There was a problem, but it has been handled,” she offered as if it was as simple as someone ordered the wrong office supplies. “It was much work and stress so everyone needed a little of break.” If one paid close enough attention, they could tell the difference between the girls as now and then, Ella made small mistakes in English that Alyssa almost never made.

“Everything I own is in my backpack. Where am I going to get the money for hair dye and contacts?” Clarice pointed out. “Because I know from experience that magenta hair likes to start bursting through really quick. And contacts... I’d have to constantly be ripping them out at a moment’s notice.” She couldn’t see the energy that made her portals with them in, and when she inevitably had to run, she never had a lot of time to do it. “But thanks for the hair tip. Didn’t figure that out when I was a kid.” And, much like with her magenta hair and the hair dye, they had a way of eventually poking through, too.

phobias - do they have any phobias/distinct fears?

Phobia would imply a fear that is crippling, that overtakes one’s ability to move forward, and Sara was stripped of that luxury during her time with the League. Fear or not, she has to push through.

With that being said, this line from S2 of Arrow sticks out to me: “If they hurt you or Laurel or mom, then I really would die.” She has lost Laurel and her father. Her mother has, essentially, cut her out of her life. And the show ends with her losing Oliver, who she recognizes as her final anchor, the last person who knew her before - and, in his case, during the time in between - and after the Gambit. There’s no one else like that in her life. She has friends, but even they have gone off in their separate directions, leading their separate lives. So her worst fears have come to pass. And while things are always verse-dependent, generally speaking she tends to feel adrift now, a lot like that ghost that returned home in S2.

Oh, and don’t expect her to volunteer to go on any boats, islands, or in any jacuzzis (thank you, the Lazarus Pit) anytime soon. Don’t get me wrong, she’ll do it if a mission requires it, but there aren’t any tropical vacations in her future.

@backedagainstthewall — cont. from here.

Emily had heard it in passing, James' birthday. Just an off comment, probably said nonchalantly to pass the time, but the date stuck with her. And so she remembered, as she remembers a lot of little details like that. When he opens the box, it's indeed a knife. A practical, possibly unconventional gift when expressing gratitude, but it's truly a heartfelt gift.

You could RP Michelle Dessler.

Michelle was one of my FAVORITES in 24. She deserved BETTER. Sooo soo much better than what CTU did to her. I wouldn't be super confident with her voice. I only saw the series once. But, she's an absolute badass. I'd be highly tempted.

😒 Is there anything canon about your muse that you ignore?

😒 Is there anything canon about your muse that you ignore? 

[Considering there just...isn't that much to her canon in the first place, not really? I ignore a lot of fanon nonsense like jokes about her hitting on a 10-11 year old. I guess the only thing I can think of that seems a little different in how I interpret her is she seems proud to become the sage of spirit and I feel it would be more complex than just "yep, this is what I'm doing now!"

Additionally, I suppose I've kind of changed her role pre-OoT to some degree? The game doesn't really make it clear what was going on, as she refers to herself as a lone wolf thief (and the carpenter's suggest she had her own raiding party or something? separate from the other Gerudo? Or maybe just Ganondorf? I don't know, it's weird) but otherwise, she gets referred to as the exalted Nabooru and Ganondorf's second in command which seem contradictory to me. So I guess I kind of ignore that in the sense I make it work for me instead: she never declared herself any kind of lone wolf/detracted from the Gerudo tribe, at least not in any official capacity. She did sort of self-exile before she returned to the Spirit Temple, and used the idea of her being a lone wolf and not associated with Ganondorf or the Gerudo as a whole in hopes of better appealing to Link, who she figured had been swept up by Hylian propaganda about her people. She needed his help, and wanted to make sure she could get it.

Other than that, not really.]

“Agreed,” Cara offered with a brief nod of her head. Hunters had safehouses like these, safehouses that were communal property that people could use to lay low. They didn’t have a ‘flower in the window’ system or anything like that; it was more you took your chances, knowing a property could be in use and both parties were going to be on edge. Which was why she, generally, didn’t use them. As for his comments about her wanting cheap stuff, and being careful about expiration dates, she explained, “I don’t have a lot of cash on me.” She never did. “And I’ve got this down to a science; I haven’t had food poisoning yet.”

@backedagainstthewall sent zip, sender needs receiver's help to zip up the back of their dress. (Swap, James doesn't exactly wear dresses often)

Aiden let out a small huff as she shuffled towards the direction of James. She wasn't exactly used to wearing a dress, especially a fluffy one. Leave it to her Princess Peach costume for it to be hard to put on alone. "Hey." she said with a slight pout. "Can you help me with this?" she was holding the dress up with her arm as much as possible. She turned to where her back was towards him. "I can't reach and I don't want to risk ripping this dress."
