LOCATION && WITH WHOM : : PET STORE W / ANYONE @corinthbaystarters​

“-- I see. I can’t believe you have to deal with terrible people like that.” His face was pressed close to the glass container, eyeing the “trapped” lizard. To Krys, the lizard might as well be a prisoner in this place. A pet store it was called, more like a way to keep animals of all sorts in cages and unable to roam free. He wondered why the humans came up with such an idea, didn’t they understand the nonsense of doing this? The answer was of course they didn’t, the fools. Even when someone approached him, he didn’t even bat an eye, just focused entirely on the lizard. They’ll go away eventually, Krys thought to himself. … But they didn’t. The stranger continued to stand there and he didn’t like it. “Do you need something?” He asked, eyes still on the lizard-- Eloise, her name was Eloise. “Can’t you see that I’m talking to someone?”

location: Agia Paraskevi Street

A woman stealing, a man cheating, and down the street a pair of siblings traded blows. Humanity was ever-changing, but stripped of their technology, their expensive clothes, and whatever other superficial constructs they clung to and they were all the same. This city was known for its hedonism, tainted at its very core - it was no wonder Hotaru had been tasked with coming here. Though the more he observed the more the task seemed an impossible one, failure loomed over the horizon but so long as he remained useful to the Greeks he might avoid Enma’s punishment. “Tell me,” Hotaru queried as he held up one of the numerous evil eye charms that littered a stall, “do these really work?”

This was embarrassing, beyond embarrassing really. Normally he put the key somewhere he could grab it, but this time it had fallen just out of reach and now Marshall was left chained to a tree with the thing he needed to unlock himself just out of reach. “Is someone there?!” Marshall called out, this was getting familiar, last time he’d been stuck like this Alarick had happened to be walking by, but it seemed unrealistic to think that someone else would just happen to be out in the woods. And yet, he could faintly hear the sound of another’s heartbeat - he could smell them, too. “Hey!” He called again, “Can you help me?!”

“When you wish upon a star...” Aster remarked as he sat on the beach, arms sprawled behind him, once upon a time he would come to this very spot and visit the oceanids who would come to shore and regale him with tales of the deep. In return he would trade stories of the land, the forests, and the mountains that he and his kin called home. If he strained, Aster could hear the fauna of the water whisper to him, though it was like trying to listen to someone speak with his head submerged underwater. “if you could have anything, what would it be?”

The crow sits perched on a tree limb, an unknowing vessel that Lila has latched onto in order to peer in through the window of the building she intends to break into later. It’s not a perfect angle, but it is the closest she can find without giving herself away directly. But the winged creature is under no obligations to hold still simply for Lila’s sake, and soon she finds it taking off in flight, soaring further and further away from herself until— she snaps back into her body like a rubber band, consciousness returned and no longer sitting with the blankness life-sized doll on the park bench. Lila moves to rub her forehead from the brief strain, before noticing she is not as alone as when she had begun. The water witch jumps in surprise, her body shifting away from the other person instinctively. “Forgive me, I did not realize you were there. You frightened me,” she says, clutching at her chest lightly. ( @corinthbaystarters​ )

@corinthbaystarters​

The city wasn’t short on things to do, and the casino was one of his favourite places in Corinth. The closest thing to gambling back home had been the digital poker machine at the local bar. But this was different, flashing lights, oxygen pumped in from outside, not a clock in sight. Arvid couldn’t help but get carried away, sometimes he won, but most often he counted on Jerrik to pay his share of the rent. Arvid plugged another bill into the machine and looked at the person sat next to him, with a losing streak like that the witch didn’t know why anyone would keep going, “Rough day?”

Blind date. What a stupid fucking concept. Jakob overslept despite the fact that this lunch date thing was in the middle of the afternoon and while he wanted to be on time he’d showered then ended up sitting on his bed and blankly staring at the wall for way longer than usual before he was able to will himself into pulling some clothes on and getting out the door. He was used to using things to compensate for how he was feeling, possessions, people, this date was no different. Maybe if he could find someone he liked he wouldn’t feel so broken inside, maybe he wouldn’t be so angry. Ten seconds into walking into the agreed upon location and Jakob knew he was only fooling himself. “Sorry I’m late, I slept in. Did you order already?”

Lada felt like it was just a shitty night at the club, but that didn’t mean she was going to let people get away with anything. No, they would have to deal with her first. Like this guy that was far too drunk for her liking. “Get him out of here,” was all she said to one of her bartenders before she turned to the person nearest to her. Perhaps they would be her dinner for the evening. “Men, right?”
