send me 📬 and i’ll send you an in-character ask.

" Hello?! Is anyone there?!" She had heard a rather strange noise at first thinking someone was yelling or shooting in pain maybe? She wasn't too sure. Without a second thought she came inside to see where or who else was around. Suddenly hearing footsteps behind she quickly turns in a gasp. Her hand closed over her chest as her heart rate picked up. " geez! You scared me! How? Where did you come from? Who are you?"

"I'm enjoying this giant variety of a fruit basket. It's actually preferable to a basket of, let's say- chocolate."

“Oh, you like it, yeah? But does that mean you don't like chocolate? Or are you looking at it from a healthy perspective?”

just like every night has it dawn...

Princess Janice Katherine Loren Wayne of Gotham had been invited to Scotland--specifically, King Stefan's kingdom. She was happy to be recognized as royalty, considering that she'd been heavily sheltered after gaining her crown, but she was also...less than pleased. It was no secret that King Stefan hated the fey whose territory bordered his. Janice, who went by Jayn, was a quarter-fey through her mother. Her magic had been discovered by the people when she had caused a storm after a terrible tragedy...but they loved her & the royal family, so they swore to keep her secret. According to Gotham's spy network, the people had done just that.

Well, her secret had not been kept by Stefan's people in the least. She'd been caught drying her hair (yes, using her magic) by a maid, who proceeded to scream. Jayn hurried out into the corridor to try & calm the woman down, but she'd already started screaming about "fey in the castle". So, the princess did what she had to, which was run for the stables & steal a horse. It wasn't unreasonable--she could hear the angry yelling of insults behind her, plus the clanking armor.

Sometime during her ride, they shot her in the shoulder. Jayn cried out, but she managed to hold onto the reins of her mount. (Her family took turns dressing up as a vigilante to patrol the streets, so she'd been shot before. It still hurt, though.) & then she realized there was no way she'd escape the kingdom alive. She rode towards the giant wall of thorns, making space for herself & her horse to get through using a large piece of ice. Then she hastily shoved it all back, blocking her pursuers. Within a few minutes, they left her there.

When she thought she was alone, she cried. She'd never been that afraid. Before, she had justice on her side. She was trained to fight to protect others. But running away from an angry mob...that had only been in her nightmares until as of late. & what if there was a civil war between Stefan's country & hers, because they sought to kill the magical creatures inside Gotham & its surrounding lands?

She sobbed.

niffier au: "Prince Nikolai, is it true, that King Maverick's consort is your sister?"

He paused, lingering where he stood for several seconds before suddenly turning his lips up into a faint smile that didn't quite reach his eyes.

"It would appear to be that way, little shadow, yes."

"How fortunate for her to have secured such a doting, attentive, and powerful partner. I'm sure their relationship will bring about nothing but peace and prosperity for both our kingdoms."

Nikolai then pulled a white cigarette from his jacket and placed it between his lips, making it obvious that he was simply reciting the proper script for the question as he lit it without a care. "May we all see years of prosperity from such an unlikely companionship."

"Did the last blood moon have any effect on you dear?"

The Fae Queen glances up at her mate from her journal and pauses to process what he said before grinning. "Well, considering it was the same night as Beltane and we had quite a bit of fun...Blood Moons always stir my blood to heating quite easily. Though, I'm trying to behave myself this time."

Her golden gaze glitters and glows a bit brighter as she chews along her bottom lip a moment to eye him shamelessly. Ellyn then has a curious thought and snickers. "Do they have any effect on you, my love or is it all me? Because, if it were such a thing, then we could enjoy the moonlight together." @darkhearthorns

weird west au: "I'm Preacher Draven, and you are?"

"Preacher?" Tyler repeats with a grunt, tipping his hat to squint up at the long silhouetted figure of a man. He gives the man a once over, noting the pistols in their holsters and a book in his hand. Tyler knew just enough about reading to figure it was probably a bible.

"Not interested," he said, spitting at the ground while just missing the strangers booted feet."

"you can't save me from everything."

“No, I probably won't be able to. But I can at least try, can't I?”

"So your reputation claims," She responds simply to his boast of being an excellent swordsman. The brunette watches as he draws his sword to give it a twirl. Show off, she thinks to herself.

Arms cross over her chest as he continues on. She definitely seems to have stroked his ego, though it had been unintentional.

"I do not care if we are the most powerful couple. I care that my family is protected." Isabelle explains, "Which, need I remind you, wouldn't be a problem if you did not have the reputation that you do." She states simply, "There were whispers when I first came here... Not many people like you. Perhaps you should focus on making sure your own servants aren't trying to do you in before you go off conquering again."

She knows that kings are always men that the world will go after but not many of them would be killed or overthrown if they would stop with the fearmongering and the wars.

"She doesn't even look like you," She responds a little too sharply, "And boys are heirs, not girls."
