the thirteenth love fortune

* with alicia / @crystalball-predictions.

Almost everyone in the island flocked to the Underground upon hearing this weekend’s amazing lineup of music! Not only that, but there were these new drinks for anyone who’s anyone to try! And tonight, Muffy had the honour of serving them up. ♡

“Hello, would you like to try our newest drink? Oh, hi, there~♪ !”

Her coy smile would invite attention to not just the drinks on the silver tray, but to herself as well. Some would take the drink and continue on their merry way. Others were too absorbed with their dance moves which were extremely admirable! And then, there were those that got a drink and tried to woo the blonde barmaid... Yet none of their words was enough to top last week’s flattering compliment!

Thinking about how that certain young man hooked her made her heart skip a beat. There’s something about you were his wonderful words. Gosh, how romantic! ♡ The way he looked at her with such confidence and actual cupids hummed against her ears...

Muffy sighed. In the end... it was too good to be true. Like seriously, why did he have to lie about being single—oh, whoops! “Sorry!” Muffy had bumped into someone but her light-hearted smile and almost empty-tray of free sampled drinks saved her from the awkwardness. 

Anyways, now that she’s single (again) Muffy kept heart out in the open! Maybe this time, she’d meet her special somebody! She just needed a little luck and fortune on her side... ♡ And with that hopeful thought, a light bulb lit above her fair head. 

After making her rounds by the dancefloor, a reinvigorated Muffy made her way back to the bar. She placed the serving tray down and instead of picking up the little samples left of the new drink, Muffy turned to her miracle maker behind the bar. “Hey, Alicia~! ♪” Her eyelashes fluttered.

“Taking a ten-minute break here, hmm? Mind if I joined you~? Oh, I really do miss our little chats, don’t you? ♡” Muffy leaned her back against the bar, twirling a strand of her hair. As much as she genuinely enjoyed talking to the lovely witch, her wistful gaze was a dead giveaway that she wasn’t just in it for the “small talk.”

Evermore || Skye & Alicia

@crystalball-predictions

Skye is minding his own business, as he usually does before things go awry. It's not his fault he's a gravitational pull for death, but it seems to find him in his quietest hours, the moments when he feels most at ease. 

Just as he finishes counting the till, his head snaps up at the sound of a hard thud against the store window. There's a flash of black feathers, and he has to wonder if Alicia would make him pay damages for freak accidents. 

Thankfully, the window is unscathed, but the raven outside... not so much. The sound Skye makes is something of feigned pity, drawing the poor dead animal up between two careful hands and cradling it against his chest. This is a bad omen. It doesn't take a genius to figure that out.

His eyes slide shut, drowning out the universe turning on around him. It's much easier to salvage a soul in complete silence, but this does fine. It's a fresh death, and he doesn't have to search far. 

The birds eyes lose their glaze like fog clearing from a mirror, black wings beating back to life. 

"It's not your time, my friend." 

There's that familiar lurch. The raven quickly departs from his hands, but doesn't settle far, scrutinizing from the table as Skye stumbles toward the trash. Black ichor spills from his lips, the taste of death on his tongue like ash and smoke.

It’s in the stars  || Alicia & Klaus

Some days, he wanted to believe in the idea of fate. On other hand, Klaus also wanted to believe that the picture he paints of himself is carved by his hands.  A romantic ideal he thinks of, indeed. Always looking onward towards tomorrow, the man wonders if he should dare to test the waters of the wheel of fortune.  There had been rumors in Arcadia, of a voluptuous woman giving out fortunes-- telling your future-- possibly could be nothing short of a hoax of the sort. But Klaus himself was ever so curious, he figured it was best to make his own ideas of the rumors himself. Besides, what the worse she can do? The man knocks firmly on the door, not too loud- not too soft. Hopefully this will end well.  @crystalball-predictions

Pretty in Pink || Skye & Alicia

@crystalball-predictions

Skye likes black perhaps a little more than most, but even by his own standard, the Sorcery Emporium lacks colour. The moment you walk in, the permeating atmosphere of magic and wizardry seems to suppress everything else. There’s no substance, no texture. It has a theme, but only if that theme is let’s get edgy and tell our parents this isn’t a phase.

He can fix that.

It took a few shopping trips, but sooner or later, Skye had amassed a small collection of stuffed animals in bright hues and pastels. The weird ones seemed to speak to him on a level that surpassed natural affection, and the moments of peace he had before Alicia came around gave him time to adorn them lovingly among the shelves.

His particular favourite-- a pastel pink elephant with an overly long nose he’d lovingly named Mister Cupcake-- gets a front row seat at the cashier’s table where he spends most of his time. Mister Cupcake’s friends will have to watch and writhe with agony in knowing they’ll never attain his place in Skye’s personal hierarchy, forced to look down from the shelves as he makes it all too apparent Cupcake is his number one.

Maybe he got a little too carried away.

Alicia won’t be thrilled with this development, but he’s prepared for a debacle about his use of stuffies if that’s what it takes to keep Mister Cupcake in his possession. Elbows poised on the counter and hands folded as if awaiting confrontation, his smile is a little too cat-like as he waits for the front door to open. It’s not a lot of animals, but it’s a few, and he’s prepared to bicker about every single one.

Flower Festival || Alicia

[Bouquet of Single Roses (Red & Blue)]

@crystalball-predictions

Yes, he could’ve opted for grandiose, and sent her several bouquets delivered to her house-- but he’s not trying to look desperate. As much as he preens over her undivided attention, he’s not trying to look like he’s bordering the line between infatuation and obsession, either. There are lines he refuses to cross, and playing with her mind is a dangerous game.

Carissima,

It’s a shame they stripped the flowers of their thorns. The pain that surrounds them is what makes them beautiful.

~ Phantasma.

Skye makes a point to leave them atop her desk at work, in a private way of expressing one’s appreciation. This might be one of the few times he’s done something altruistically.
