taking control of the new york institute had not been planned . dimitri returned to the city to study the thinning veil that separates their world from the faerie lands , but his fellow shadowhunters did not leave him much of a choice . each and every single institute requires a firm hand , especially this one , and while it is infuriating to witness the reigning chaos , it motivates him to put an end to it . run faster . jump higher . isn't that what his family taught him ? the inquisitor tightens his jacket and he leans back against the bench in front of the institute when he notices a shadow from the corner of his eye . ❛ care to join me ? ❜ his voice is firm as he calls out to @dihstarters . ❛ you should know that lurking is creepy , if that's what you're doing . ❜ but who the hell knows . there is a chance that they got lost , or that they are ready to pee in the bushes .

Location: Three Lives Bookstore

One of her least favourite days was when she had to make sure that the new stock was all accounted for. She knew she had staff working, but somehow she always ended up doing it herself. She had found a box that was full off books that weren't the same, all different books so she would have to go through them all one by one. "I swear it's like I'm the only one working here." She spoke as she placed the box on to the counter. Looking up she was met with a face of a customer. "Sorry, busy day today. What can I help you with?"

OPEN A, LOCATION, the hexe.

loitering only served to be an annoyance. a sense of unease born from the action. no, tyler didn't make a habit out of speaking to every customer or merely the intrigued, but sometimes he felt it was necessary. from his seat behind the dim counter he emerges, rounds it with an ease. fingertips skirt against the edges of shelves on his way, head tilting as he approaches. " if you're hopin' those crystals are going to start talking, you're out of luck. " in theory the words should be a light quip, but his tenor carries it as judgement instead.

OPEN B, LOCATION, the skyline lounge. ( alcohol mention )

" 'course the seat is open. unless you believe in ghosts. " spoken just before he brings his drink to his mouth. company hadn't been on his mind, but what the hell? what could it hurt? silence overtakes tyler again as he savors the burn of whiskey. he's quiet for a moment in his acceptance of the new-found interaction. there's a hum against the rim of the glass. " so, looking to kill some loneliness or were all the best seats just taken? "

location :  camilla’s apartment .

THE DEMON HAD  gotten home tired and frustrated and on the verge of  snapping ,  when some of the wards on her apartment had alerted .  not all ,  as most of them were tied  more  to her essence ;  but physicality played a role in some ,  apparently ;  enough to give feedback when she’d tried to enter  her own place  in this  ...  state .  the dam burst  ( again )  then ,  and camilla had clawed the whole thing to shreds ,  likely doing permanent damage to her door frame in her effort to get at the anchors embedded there .  ( it had taken the witch she’d commissioned several days to set up when she’d moved in ,  but right then ,  camilla didn’t care . )  she’d left the remnants of the spellwork to rot and could still feel their faint magic slowly subsiding ,  the residual energy easy to pick apart and move through on pure instinct, magical talent or no ,  by now .  for anyone able to pick up on this  —  and her presence  —  it presented a clear picture of  their  potential fate should they choose to bother her further ,  but alas ,  some beings were too keen on  ignoring obvious warnings ,  it seemed .

as there was no overly malicious intent behind the person entering her space ,  however ,  camilla simply attempted to shut them out instead of unloading her rage on whichever poor sap had come to check on her .  with a careless flick of her hand ,  the paneled double doors between the entryway and her living space closed most of the way ,  rattling ominously as they did .  ( the best she could bother with ,  her mind being  all over the place  as it was ,  and mostly focused on  bloody  retribution . )  the demon curled in on herself again then ;  giving no other sign of acknowledgment ,  but listening  intently  for further steps .

when ? midday/utp.

where ? claws and paws ( nyc ).

❛❛ now, you look like someone who would benefit from holding a sleepy little bunny today. ❜❜ they observe, approaching with a small, yawning rabbit resting peacefully in their arms. maybe they’re just self-projecting. after all, they’d been here for hours now, cuddling every animal in sight and benefiting greatly from it ─── but they’re already moving to place the content creature in the other’s arms before they have a chance to protest.

The sun was about to rise, yet the party was still going on at the club, and unfortunately, people were still quite thirsty. Black painted nails submerged in the alcoholic drinks as Envy grabbed onto those glasses in the worst way possible and put them right in front of the customer, the whole thing accompanied with a scowl on his face before he spoke. “And that’s for the lousy tip, love. Now don’t come back!” He pulled his fingers out of the drinks and flicked some of it into their stupid, drunk little faces, then turned to look at the next one in line. “I’m on my break, leave me alone.” He wasn’t really on a break, nor did he care what some drunk downworlder was going to do about him. Envy leaned against the counter, reaching over to munch on a couple of olives as if he didn’t have a crowd of people waiting on him. His eyes met the eyes of the one he’d appointed to be his entertainment for the rest of the night. “So, what’re you doing later?”
