@chaotide : “Hate me all you want—you still want me.” JIWOO to DRAVEN

DARK TOXIC SHIP STARTERS.

there was never any reason to hold back around jiwoo -- she could always take it. ordinarily he did not care for women stronger than him or those that attempted to put him in his place, but her appearance was oh, so deceiving. perhaps part of him now felt drawn to vampires in general given his affiliation with this particular one, knowing that no matter what he did, no matter how hard he pushed her, he was always living on a knife's edge with her.

he stepped forward to close the gap between them, refusing to stop until he had backed her against the wall. an arm raised beside her head to stop her from simply sliding away from him, and he grinned down at her with a glint of bloodlust in his eyes.

"I'd want you more if you just gave me what I've been asking for, baby," he said, using his free hand to lift her chin towards his, "you don't have to make things hard for yourself when I'm offering myself to you so freely." as if to illustrate his point he tilted his head to the side, exposing his neck to her. truly he had no idea how her hunger worked -- truly, he didn't care. all that draven knew was that whenever she sunk her fangs into him it ignited something hidden deep within his core and he could never quite get enough of it.

"or next time you mention giving this to someone else, I'll make sure they never see the outside of a militech jail cell ever again." the threat wasn't entirely baseless -- he was sure darius could pull a few strings, especially if he mentioned chainsaw involvement. "so what'll it be, jiwoo? are you gonna take what you want from me or are you gonna condemn some poor innocent fucker to life in jail because of your damn morals?"

@chaotide GRIEF for FLORENTINA

"there is no way you're mad at me for this right now, I... no fucking way, florentina, are you real? are you being for real right now?"

grief lifted his hands in exasperation, turning away from her. he shook his head in disbelief, completely shocked by his companion's accusations.

"you realise you're the other woman, right? like, you get that, don't you? I spend one fucking day with eir and you complain at me like I'm neglecting you? you came after me and I am entertaining you, what the fuck else do you want florentina? if you wanted complete and utter devotion, you should've been up front about it first."

for @chaotide & @voraclty fuck it we just send it and see what sticks

the shock of the past few weeks had just begun to dim; she'd signed to her sire's label and been promised a good deal if she could manage to come up with something with the two other survivors of the recent attacks on the music scene. from her first impression, they didn't seem like a group whose styles would mesh particularly well, but destiny would never back down from a challenge -- especially not in the pursuit of better music. she'd already mixed her own style into the metal scene, who's to say she couldn't work it into others?

she'd decided to text the other two with details of a meeting: a secluded VIP section in a late night restaurant -- a place one of her sire's other childer just so happened to own. a dress code had been attached, allowing her to veto what the other girls thought as their finest outfit. destiny herself had chosen a form fitting sequined cocktail dress, perfect for standing out and dominating the conversation. hopefully the other two would be easy to talk to, if not easy to work with.

although she never normally showed up to events early she'd made sure to arrive half an hour before the agreed time to ensure that everything she'd booked was in perfect working order. her sire had told her that the staff were hers for the evening, and that no matter the bill she acquired that he would see to it. she wasn't stupid: he would gain far more money from this 'supergroup' he'd decided to call the final girls than he could possibly spend here. if he was offering to give her the life of luxury she deserved, she might as well make the most of it.

seated with one leg crossed over the other, destiny kept her gaze on the doorway like a hawk. once either of the girls showed up she'd immediately greet them with a warm hug and a glass of champagne, the way she'd been told to.

kaito & pearl downtime @chaotide

the entire journey across the wards had been spent in silence. she wasn't accustomed to silence these days, not with the amount of people she'd been introduced to in such a short span of time. loneliness seemed so far away most of the time that she'd almost forgotten what it felt like. the drive did well to remind her of it.

pearl allowed kaito to lead the way into his abode, still not a single word exchanged between them. ever the gentleman, he'd opened up the door and nodded her into the front room. upon stepping through, she began to absorb the space that he called his own. it was basic, yes, but she hadn't expected extravagance from kaito. everything had its own place, perfectly aligned with how she imagined he was taught within the unfallen. all in all, it was almost exactly what she'd assumed it would be upon meeting him.

unable to handle the quiet any more, pearl turned to face him in the hallway, one hand propped up against the wall and the other idly in her pocket. she'd argued with a lover before, but this felt more personal. they weren't just at odds over who was taking out the trash or who'd spent too long out at the club the evening prior, it was a difference of ideals.

"didn't take you for someone who'd roll over and take whatever whitestar decided to throw at you," she said quietly, refusing to make eye contact, "I thought you'd have more fight in you than that."

even viper had surprised her down there. all of her venom had been bitten back for the sake of, what she assumed, was her sister. it wasn't like viper to keep quiet in front of authority. in fact, the three of them had been so quiet and limp that pearl had felt crazy being among them. how could they all give in so easily to the corporation that ran this city? did nobody care to stand up for their cause any more?

"and dying for the rest of us? where would that have gotten you? another member of the resistance dead by whitestar's hand, exactly what they'd want." she could feel anger welling up inside her chest now, and it would take more than just words to calm her down. if only they weren't so far from club sunshine...

"I thought you wanted to fight, but you and viper you were both so placid, did they pump something into those cells that didn't affect me? why were you both so ready to give in to whitestar? why didn't you even try and fight back?"

“you know you can take me anywhere?” from faith!

; — OLIVIA LYRIC PROMPT🩸

There’s a SOUTHERN SUNSHINE smile curling the corners of her SUGAR SPUN lips. ‪❝Anywhere?❞ ‬She asks in a glittering TEASE, pretty head tilting toward the figure in a way that looks DECEPTIVELY ANGELIC.

‪❝Give me too many options and I don’t where to start, doll.❞ ‬Her tongue traces over a BLUNTED CANINE in jest, BLEACHED curls swaying where they frame the high apples of her cheeks.

@chaotide asked: "oh, i wouldn't actually leave. after all, where would you be without me ?" -> essek (from pandora) / prompts tag.

the playful statement does elicit a faint chuckle. he appreciates a unhealthysane dose of self-confidence; it should be found at the core of any arcane expert. doubt and hesitation, once permitted to take root, have stunted countless mages before they ever reached their full potential … and, in turn, they quickly lose his interest just the same. “ arrogance only suits the mouths of those who can substantiate their brilliance. ” 𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐤 is keen to remind her, a polite, distant smile donning his features. in fact, a prodigy like himself has very little use for someone who cannot keep up with his pace.

“ but since you are gracious enough to remain and offer your help ... ” gravity momentarily around his body distorts, bending to his will and allow him glide across the floor rather than step on it. he approaches a board that pivots on command as the dunamancer flicks his wrist, uncovering a side filled with complex formulas. there are brief mentions of time, its subdivision and how they can influence the lifespan of an average humanoid. “ care to take a look ? i am eager to hear your conclusions. ”

you will write more val @chaotide

adjusting to her new lifestyle had been difficult for elena. on one hand, she was thankful that ravenheart had given her a place to stay and a community to belong to. she was genuinely willing to do anything to stay in their good graces and raven was, in fact, her hero. on the other hand, she found it rather hard to get used to following orders. whether it was the inner street kid or her rebellious teenage streak causing this was unclear, but it definitely made her behavre like a nuisance at times.

she had been off hacking into some rich fucker's security system completely unprovoked to steal their data and only managed to avoid getting caught by that person out of sheer luck. and of course, raven got word of it and now she was due for a talk with them. elena knew she needed to grow out of these immature habits if she wanted to stay with her newfound family.

the girl internally prepared herself for the meeting. surely, one small act of deviancy isn't that big of a deal, right? it would only be a massive problem if she actually got caught, which she did not. still, it was a type of action that was frowned upon and met with disappointment.

"i'm sorry, i swear i won't do it again." she blurted out as soon as she saw raven approach. elena felt extremely embarrassed. she was able to keep her cool most of the time, but not in this situation.

"old habits die hard, i guess." she forced a smile in an attempt to play it all off as just another small slip-up. i need to stop doing this shit, she thought to herself, it's embarrassing.

more ead and selda @chaotide

though her duties at the priory did not allow for much free time, selda still decided to do whatever she could to make the perfect gift for ead. she wished to express her deep affection towards her dearest friend through something she could keep. admittedly, she was no expert craftsman, but that had not discouraged her from doing it.

she contemplated the color palette of the bracelet for a long time and eventually landed on making it white and blue. bright enough to hopefully evoke a feeling of calmness, but not something that would be jarring to look at.

after an entire week of having secretly worked on this project, the elf had finally finished it and wasted no time in seeking ead out at the first opportunity. finding them had not been difficult for her as she was already familiar with their usual routine around the priory. selda decided to approach them calmly, then gently placed a hand on their shoulder in hopes of getting them to turn their attention towards her.

"this is for you." the girl held the bracelet in her other hand, allowing ead to take a close look at it. she had hoped that this heartfelt gift would make ead happy, as she wanted to see her with a smile on her face, as impossible as that may have seemed in a place like this.

"there is no special occasion, i simply wished to give you something." a smile of her own appeared on selda's face as she looked at them. it was rare for the elf girl to express any form of joy, but when she did she had truly meant it. growing up at the priory had not been easy, so she appreciated the few genuine friends she made. people she would lay down her own life for if it meant keeping them safe.
