@divinafatum for malevola

SHE STANDS OFF IN THE CORNER , slender digits clutching her glass of ice water to her chest . she was timidly awkward in these kinds of places ---- not that it was because she was in a villain bar but rather a bar in general . she was grateful to have been invited ; grateful to have been thought of and included . she was a huge supporter of the phoenix program and she had a made a point since the program started to check in with the heroes .

she looked up at the approach of a form out of the corner of her eye . green hues looked up to see the horned woman . she smiled softly up at the woman , a sweet curve to glossed lips . " i home i'm not ruining the . . . . uhhh . . . vibes . . . " she said shyly , a hand reaching to push a soft curl behind an ear .

@divinafatum for Evka + Elysia

Elysia needed information. The First Warden had sent out a summons, summoning every grey warden back to Weisshaupt. While the South was barely hanging on and the North was dealing with blighted gods.

She had to figure out what was going on. And she couldn't very well ask him. They didn't exactly... get along, to put it politely. Thankfully, Morrigan had given her another name. Hopefully it would help.

Lavendel was exactly as gloomy as she had been told. The blight grew thick around the edges, barely held back by the wardens in the town. She could feel it pulsing and growing, and grit her teeth, blocking out the call of it as best she could. It wasn't time for her calling but... it was creeping ever closer, and she was hoping to push it off as long as she could.

She finally spotted the dwarf she needed, smiling in relief. "Warden Evka?" She winced slightly, making an effort to turn off her Commander voice. "My names Elysia. Do you have a moment?"

[raventraced]

The inside of her chest cavity felt like an inferno— each shaky intake of breath stabbing at her lungs. Oxygen was quickly depleting, but despite it all, Invisigal willed her legs to carry her onward down the trash littered alleyway. While sabotaging Malevola in her attempt to catch Lightningstruck had been pretty amusing at the time, it wasn’t quite as funny now that she was running out of breath.. the demoness hot on her tail with sword in tow. Unsurprisingly, her asthma had struck again at the most inconvenient of times. Was this karma catching up to her for all her past wrongdoings?

Ducking between and diving over dumpsters, Invisigal could feel her breaths becoming more laboured. Just a few more steps and she’d be able to lose her, right? Wrong.

Turning the corner, she was forced to slam on the brakes, coming to a screeching halt at a dead end, a brick wall too high to climb in her state rendering her trapped. Shit! Had she taken a wrong turn somewhere? She swore that wall hadn’t been there earlier! “Oh fuck me, you gotta be kidding me!” If only she’d been blessed with the power to soar the skies like Flambae, right? She’d be able to fly right out of here. Unfortunately.. no such luck.

Instead, her burning lungs became too much to ignore, Invisigal pressing her back to the wall in defeat just as Malevola made her appearance.

“..Is it too late to call a time out? A little truce?” Sarcasm uttered out between pants of ragged breaths, Invisigal shakily reached into her jacket pocket to fetch her inhaler, immediately bringing it up to her mouth to take a few desperate puffs through a fit of splutters and coughs. While yes, she could disappear to make it more difficult for Malevola to take a swing at her if she saw fit.. it wouldn’t do much when she could so obviously hear her wheezing. She was totally screwed. Just had to hope Malevola was willing to forgive and forget, huh? Either that, or hope she was in a good mood.

@divinafatum sent: “i have a lot going for me, but humility is not one of them.” — From Malevola for Waterboy!

Had he offended her? Oh boy, he hadn’t meant to offend her. Or maybe he was simply 𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆 it like Robert had told him he so often did about everything. Waterboy was only trying his best. It was one thing to be 𝐒𝐃𝐍’ s most devoted janitor, but after being promoted to the rank of a 𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐎? Well.. it was safe to say his nerves were shot, stuttering and the ability to always say the wrong things in general inevitable. It wasn’t that he wasn’t grateful for the opportunity— he was. But was he really cut out for such a role?

“Oh no- I.. that’s not what I meant. You.. yeah, you have a lot going for you for s-sure!” Why did he have to be so unbelievably shy and socially awkward? Especially around the pretty ones. 𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐓𝐓𝐘!? Malevola would eat him alive if he so much as hinted he thought so— maybe even quite literally if given the chance to. Honestly? Waterboy didn’t even know what she was. Some sort of.. 𝐃𝐄𝐌𝐎𝐍? Whatever she was, she sure had him sweating. Perspiring. The whole team did.

Regardless, at this point he’d gotten so off topic that he didn’t know what they were talking about anymore. His first day on the team and he was already messing it up. 𝐆𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐓. No wonder they’d done nothing but rip into him with their jeering humour since the minute Robert had announced he’d be joining them on shift.

Clearing his throat, Waterboy tried again, attempting to sound a little more 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐅𝐈𝐃𝐄𝐍𝐓 this time. After all, confidence was key, right? That’s what his grandma used to tell him.

“So, um.. what are your abilities then?” Maybe if he got to know them a little better, they’d be more accepting of him. “Mine? I make things damp— wet. Very wet.” A comment that made Flambae 𝐒𝐍𝐈𝐂𝐊𝐄𝐑 somewhere off in the distance. Did he even want to know what he was laughing at?

@divinafatum ♥'d

once he heard a commotion outside of the office, it was clear that Haunt didn't have much time left. of course with more people from Red Ring hanging around, it would be reported to SDN pretty quickly. all he needed is download some files from the computer, throw drive into his pocket & then get away in middle of fight...

yet as he phased through the door, he was met with a more disappointing view. few other criminals already down on the floor & hero's eyes were already on him. whoops.

despite the not favorable position, a smile appeared on his face, followed by a laugh & a slow clap. might as well entertain the hero, until he finds a moment to lose them.

" you've already dealt with the rest? that's one impressive feat. " & just as annoying. they were meant to be a diversion, what's the use of distraction if they fall before he's done? but oh well, he'll figure something out.

" but i'm gonna get an earful for that either way. so mind letting me go? i'm not interested in a fight. "

@divinafatum : [ DRAG ]: sender drags receiver from point a to point b. / malevola, stares at you with my big ol' autism eyes

it was a set up for a great night. he's been doing AMAZING work on field & only thing that would make this evening even better if for the token to be having as good of a day as he has.

he could hear the footsteps approaching, yet there was nothing to worry. steps were confident, obviously someone who knows this place. also the slight click of the heels was an additional give away. it didn't take a harvard graduate to deduct-

but before that thought was over, he could feel his collar being yanked away & there was a growing distance between him & his slightly open locker. that's not great, but most things were already in their respective places. not like they'd disappear & if it does, it'll be easy to find a thief.

soon any kind of resistance stopped. Sonar just slightly adjusted his position, to make the process a bit more comfortable for himself, hands crossed in front of him. he could technically get up and just match her pace, but why bother. instead his head raised up to look at Malevola, at least as much being dragged by her would allow.

" so... where we're going? found a cool new spot? "

@divinafatum (lucanis) continued from X.

"It's more complicated than a simple yes or no."

No one in the Lighthouse knows her story. The only one who knew was Varric and he'd kept it close to his chest like she'd asked of him. Niamh doesn't like to talk about it. She doesn't like to relive those memories. It's easier to keep them tucked away deep in her rib cage where no one can see them.

She doesn't know if she wants to tell Lucanis her story. However, she doesn't think he cares enough to hear it and that itself is a kind of relief. To know that these people in the Lighthouse, at the end of it all, don't really care about her as a person. She's just the healer, there to patch up wounds and make potions.

"Having my freedom is nice," she says after a moment. "To be able to go where I want, do what I want...it's nice. But the life I had to live to get here? I don't know...there are things I wish so very much that I could change."

She shrugs, a finger tracing along the whorls in the wooden table's surface as she looks at it instead of Lucanis. For a moment she falls quiet, thinking.

"Some parts were worth it," she says finally, "Other parts weren't."

@divinafatum asked:

it wasn't very scientific, but it worked. / bellara → vax

Casino (1995) sentence starters

"You're not wrong." Looking at the mechanical carnage around them, Vax can agree that they'd achieved a technical success. Whatever Bellara had done to that artifact they'd found had effectively shorted out the small horde of sentinels they've been struggling to fend off. Unfortunately, some of the fallout had caused their original pathway into the ruin to be cut off. They'll have to find another way out.

Vax wanders around the chamber, careful to step around the scattered metal exoskeletons all over the floor. There's one opening that looks to go deeper into the ruin, but there's no telling as to whether there's another way out or not. She finds a chest in one of the alcoves and sets to checking it for traps. Out of the corner of her eye, she can see Davrin giving Assan some indulgent pats.

Despite how they often find themselves in sticky situations like this, Vax can't deny that a part of her really enjoys these excursions into Arlathan Forest. There's a weird peace in the trees when you ignore all the bizarre warps in the Veil and the random bands of Venatori and Antaam wandering around. And the sentinels, of course.

"What do you think?" she asks over her shoulder. "How are our chances of getting out of here?"
