May I file for hiatus for Jamie and Xiao?? I may come back early but I’ve been trying to adjust to getting back on my medications so I’ve been sleeping ridiculous amounts. ;-;

Sure thing, bb! Please take care, and hopefully everything works out soon!

Jamie and Xiao are now on hiatus until March 1st!

Meek, Not Weak || Jamie

Jamie stared down at notebook, a pen in hand; looking for any words to come out onto the paper to explain how he felt at the moment. He sat in shorts and a baggy T-shirt, even if he was a tad cold. It’s almost as if he thought his hand would just do the writing itself, and magically, he would have the answers as to how and what he was feeling all explained to him, in a nice, neat, short essay.  

 But that’s not how feelings and emotion and all that worked, was it? No, of course not...that would be too simple.

You’re an idiot. He thought to himself, slamming the pen down on the desk, leaning back in his chair and rolling his eyes. 

 Why did mundane life have to be complicated at times? He never imagined dealing with basic mundane emotions would be so.... exhausting. He scoffed at himself.

Just like a human.

The self-thrown insult made him irrationally angry; and the fact that he knew his anger was irrational only served to make him more irritated.

There was a pang of emptiness that he felt- for so many reasons. First of all, dealing with people. So many people. Granted, he could tolerate some of them, and Dorothy was one person he could say he actually liked, but talking to people….opening up….it wore him down.

 Second, was the subject of his mother; but that was an entirely separate matter that couldn’t even be logically dealt with right now.

Emotionally taxing. Where could he even vent these thoughts? For the love of the Goddess, he couldn’t even put it on paper. Much less put it into words for a person to hear; no, he didn’t want a person to hear….what would they think of him, then? Weak.

You mean, what would you think of yourself? He chided himself, and he growled a bit.

Whatever. This is why he tried not to stay up too late when he didn’t have anything to distract himself; letting his thoughts just run around and get the best of him made him irrational.

 He flopped down onto his bed, grabbing a pillow and holding it close.

Old Friends - Jamie and Dorothy

Once she had talked things out with Lest, and at least started to talk things out with Lyric, that left one person she still needed to talk to. If they were indeed back in town, as the gossip girl blast had indicated.

Although she knew where he lived, she figured it best to check the church first. He might not appreciate her showing up at his home unannounced, and Jamie tended to spend a lot of time at the church when he had free time. Hopefully her instincts weren’t wrong.

As she headed to her safe place, she couldn’t help but wonder what she was even going to say to him. It wasn’t likely he would have read the gossip, but he had been one of her closest friends before he’d disappeared. One of her only friends, really.

The thought made her feel nervous, as she hadn’t really known how she felt about Jamie before he left, but she had been devastated when she’d found out he’d disappeared. Maybe that was why she was always so eager to bring troubled people home these days, now that she thought of it. But now, she really didn’t know what to expect from him. He hadn’t said anything before he left, and she had so many questions for him that she was sure she would never even end up saying out loud.

Once she had arrived at the church, she let out a nervous breath before striding inside. And although she had come here for this very purpose, she still felt her breath catch when she saw that her friend had indeed returned.

“J-Jamie...? Y-You’re really back?!”

Friends? || Lyric & Jamie

Lyric had been in a complete daze since the Moon Viewing holiday, and everything in his life had turned into a complete blur--unless it had to do with Dorothy.

So when he happened to overhear a conversation in which one of the people involved was referred to as ‘Jamie,’ which Lyric recognized as the name of one of Dorothy’s friends.

Taking off after the other man, Lyric waved energetically. “Hey!” Before stopping in front of him, flashing a bright smile. “Jamie, right? Dorothy’s friend?”

Mountain Training || Kasumi and Jamie

@demetersblizzard One of the first things Kasumi did when arriving on Arcadia was to had outside and train with her nagitana. She wanted to make sure she didn't fall behind her training and as such headed towards forest to train in peace. The reason why she didn't want to go hunt monsters was because she didn't want to risk anything should her form be off. "I must train everyday, I should never get sloppy." She said to herself out loud swinging her weapon in the air, showing there was nothing wrong with her form or stance. "No problems today it seems, now to..." However before she could finish her sentence, she felt someone's presence. And though she couldn't see them, she knew in which direction to look at. It could be safe to assume it was a monster since almost no one would be anywhere near a forest walking around. She took a fighting stance, ready to strike. " Don't think I didn't notice you! Prepare yourself!" She then charged at the unknown presence direction.

Off On The Wrong Boot || Jamie & Vaughn

@demetersblizzard;

This was the place? Train wreck didn’t begin to cover it, but he was going to assume whoever owned the place was in the middle of re-decorating. Why they would re-decorate with that shade of paint he wasn’t sure. Whatever was under the coat surely would’ve been better than that. 

But he wasn’t here to critique the paint. He was here to meet a potential client. Vaughn made his way to the house, careful to avoid the newly dug flowerbeds and fresh paint. At the door, he knocked, then waited, arms crossing over his chest.

A short girl with violet hair opened the door. He assumed this was Jamie, who he’d spoken to over the phone the other day. “Miss. Demetra? I’m Vaughn Burace.” He held out his hand to shake Jamie’s.

Cats and Dogs || Georgia & Jamie

@demetersblizzard​

[🐎] — With the typical Arcadian tradition of having at least one monster or pet in one’s home, Georgia’s pet shop got quite a bit of business. Even more, now that she was starting to sell farm animals and horses that she bred on her own ranch.

...Her own ranch. Sunset Ranch. Georgia’s ranch.

She giggles. Even after all this time, she still couldn’t believe that that beautiful piece of land was hers. Just thinking about it put her into a good mood, and she can’t help but hum as she walks over to check on the kittens. They were the ones from one of the newest litters, and so weren’t ready to be adopted yet. But she knew that once they were, these little cuties would make whoever their new owner was the happiest person in the world.

Just then, she hears the sound of a bell ring throughout the relatively quiet shop, and glances up to see a person (with one of the strangest hair colors she’s ever seen) standing at the entrance. Putting on her most welcoming smile, she straightens up to greet the stranger.

“Hiya, and welcome to Barley’s Animal Shop! What can do ya for, hun?”

Fit to Crash || OPEN

Jamie didn’t go out much- especially in the daytime, aside from on his own farm. He preferred the solitude of night for many reasons; one of those reasons other people not being around to bother him.

But today, he had foolishly set out in the daytime in hopes of a break. He didn’t even have anywhere in mind- he was just wandering. That tended to calm him down the most for some reason.

Naturally he avoided as many more populated areas as he could, and he growled a bit under his breath if someone got too close.

He decided to head towards the port- he didn’t go towards that side of the island very often.

However, as he was walking someone came crashing into him from behind, causing him to let out a girlish yelp; he easily was mistaken for a female at times given his androgynous appearance, which honestly he didn’t care about. But what he did care about was when someone practically barrelled into him and then had to hear his pitiful sounding screech.

In a moment he whipped around, his crystal eyes blazing with an icy fire. “What the hell was that for?! Can you not see when someone is walking in front of you?!” He hissed, half embarrassed that he had reacted with a scream in the first place, so a light dust of red spread across his cheeks.
