Last night spent with my real family

POST-EVENT :: the phone call.

The phone screen stared patiently up at his face, the blinking cursor waiting for him to input the numbers he hadn't touched in months. They were still present, burned into his mind with the ferocity of a thousand suns. He could still see the black ink on the white page in Vince's hand, passing it to him with an easy gesture, barely a thought. Now, his memorization skills had once again landed him with a job he didn't particularly want to complete.

Taking a deep breath, he slowly punched in the numbers on the small flip phone keypad; one by one by one. The phone beeped in elation after each digit, though whether cheering him on or mocking him mercilessly he couldn't tell. Doing this so soon after the game was perhaps a bit…obvious. Quite possibly the most obvious thing he'd done since the Trials had begun. But it didn't much matter. Vincent was dead, and nothing he could say or do was going to change that fact. The least he could do was leave a notice.

The phone beeped shrilly and began to dial. The metal was cold against his ear; despite having sat in his pocket for most of the night, it had been laying in his hand for much more than a little while, exposed to the elements. The earpiece felt loud next to his ear, and he did his best not to wince at every ring of the dial tone, ignoring the way his heart hammered in his chest.

After a few minutes of ringing, the familiar sound of the voicemail began to play. He let out a breath of loose relief, grateful that this wouldn't be quite as hard as he'd been afraid.

"Hello, this is Milo—I'm calling with an…update. Of sorts. It's about your son."

His voice couldn't fail him now.

"There was…an incident on campus."

An accident wasn't accurate enough. An incident at least implied something deeper.

"Vincent was caught up in it and…is no longer with us."

Dead air filled the majority of the remaining time on the recording.

"When you get a chance, feel free to call me back. Or don't. Your decision."

The line monotonously clicked dead without any further input. Silence fell over the dorm room once more. Milo stared at the flip phone in his hand, as if willing it to go off. Call back while I'm still prepared; if you catch me off-guard at a bad moment, this could end badly. But it didn't buzz, and he didn't budge.

Sailor Moon Rewatch Weeks 1-2 (January 1-14)

Episode 001: The Crybaby: Usagi's Beautiful Transformation

The moonstruck episode that started it all! 14-year-old middle schooler Usagi Tsukino lives a comfortable yet ordinary life in the Juuban district of Tokyo. Her main concerns are having enough time to nap, enough food to snack, and enough of a head start to outrun her mother and homeroom teacher. But fate has different plans for this clumsy crybaby with a heart of gold... she's actually the pretty guardian in a sailor suit, Sailor Moon! Is the world any safer in her hands??

Episode 002: Punishment Awaits! The House of Fortune is the Monster Mansion

(CW: Sexual harassment)

If you've only ever watched the old Dic dub of Sailor Moon you're in for a surprise, because this episode was originally cut from English syndication. Was that due to its heavy occult themes? The brainwashed characters' violent and sexually aggressive outbursts? Or just to trim the show's dead weight? Watch it and decide for yourself! Usagi is still adapting to her role as a champion for justice when she notices the fellow students lashing out lately have one thing in common: they've all paid a visit to the mysterious new fortune teller in town, Uranai House...

Episode 003: The Mysterious Sleeping Sickness: Protect the Girls in Love

An epidemic is sweeping Tokyo as otherwise healthy teens and young adults are falling into deep, coma-like sleeps doctors can't explain. But who cares! "Midnight Zero" is the hottest show on radio, and hopeless romantics like Usagi can't get enough of it - not only will the sultry DJ read your emotional love letters over the air, but you'll get a gorgeous flower brooch as a free gift. What does it matter if you don't have anyone to write a letter to?

Episode 004: Learn How to Be Skinny from Usagi

(CW: Body image/disordered eating)

Shock! Horror! A teenager's weight has fluctuated! The tiniest change on the scale can feel life-or-death to some, especially the young and the pressured. But when the Dark Kingdom hones in on this insecurity as a potential source for ill-gotten energy, "life or death" has never been so apt. It's up to Usagi to save the day - and herself.

Once inside Jessica’s mobile home, Armand is at first slightly... nonplussed by the interior decoration.

But then he forgets about it.

her lack  of self awareness was quite extraordinary. éponine had spent that day more or less running around after marius and even doing small little chores for him as well before he went to his meeting at the café. he had a sort of run in with this blonde girl, but that was something she had to shake off her shoulders so it wouldn’t completely eat at her. other than that, it was just another day. she teased him like a schoolgirl, and he didn’t seem to be completely annoyed just yet and perhaps that was a sign of him warming up to her. his fuse seemed to shorten more towards the time of his meeting though, and as the two neared the building, she shoved her hands in her pockets and quietly slipped inside after him. his demeanor was far more serious... the expression of focus in his eyes was truly something artful. éponine didn’t want to annoy him any further during his meeting, so she moved to the back and sat at a near empty table with only one other occupying it. the blond man in the front was always so enflamed each time she saw him, yet all she could pay attention to was how marius’ dark curls shone in the sun through the windows. after a few minutes, she sighed and glanced to the side of herself at her table-mate. “...beer, is it? i was unaware others drank as early as i.”
