❛ yasha. ❜ standing over the slumbering fighter with her hands on her hips, jester waits a grand total of 2.6 seconds before repeating trying again, voice pitched higher, squawking like a spring chicken. ❛ yasha! ❜ nothing. not a thing. an annoyed sigh hisses past her lips as she leans forward, her silhouette blotting out the soft pink-gold light growing over the horizon and slipping over their camp. ❛ yasha! yasha! yasha!! yashaaaaa, wake up, i feel into a ditch! ❜

"that's not at all what you said." ( lottie for julian )

❛ you should know better than to listen to anything i say. ❜ lottie had been here long enough -- much to his chagrin -- to know that out of ten things out of his mouth, seven were useless, and the other two should be ignored. ❛ and, if i said anything of the sort you're talking about, and that's big if, doctor rose, then you must remember i was under heavy pain medication. i told keiko i liked her soup, too and we both know that's a lie! ❜

“Must everyone be so exhausting?” ( or this one from ellie)

if there was any other possibility, emily was unaware of it. it seemed she spent her entire life sighing those very same words to herself; even as a child she found her companions exhausting, finding only in ink and paper the answer to her heart's contentment. it only took her further away from those made out of flesh and blood, her own parents staring blankly at her before she learned to keep her questions to herself.

"you are out of humor today," she said. "it's disconcerning, i must admit."

@eclipscd​. | blaine starter call.

          the inky ichor of the night always seems thickest at this hour. flaxen gold hues , now a DEATHLY CRIMSON ,      vibrant & alluring as they are terrifying ,      pulse deeply ‘gainst the contract of the darkness. palms clench & unclench , digits vibrating painfully as gasps filter through grinding fangs ; HUNGRY , HUNGRY , HUNGRY.

          ‘ if i were you , i wouldn’t get too close -- I DON’T KNOW WHAT I’D DO if you did.. ‘

"this is a bad time to talk about your problems." ( xaden for cat )

was there ever a time?

the question burned at the back of her throat. created wings like a dragon's, sharp and molten, slicing her insides as it searched for a way out. he was in a mood, and even if he wasn't, even if he seemed kind and caring as he did once in her girlish dreams, cat now knew better than to expect that from him.

❛ the lack of high-quality fabric is still limited⠀ ❜ she continued, pretending not to hear him, ❛ the dressmaker i visited is in high-demand, and with the population increase, she's been working day and night. but soon, it'll reach other shops and no one will have a new cloak for winter.⠀ ❜

❛ no! I got an explanation for this, a perfectly good and reasonable explanation, which is... ❜ swallowing dry, eyebrows raised to his hairline, flynn made a sort of humming noise at the back of his throat, except it couldn’t really be called humming, after all, humming is associated with a pleasant looking sound, and this was more like a high-pitched scream of a carnivorous owl duting mating season.  ❛ ... excalibur made me do it? ❜

“How many chocolate truffles does it take to kill a man?” ( lottie to julian )

despite his silent promise to ignore her when she entered sickbay, julian halts mid-step to consider it, a padd dangling from between his fingertips. first he considers it from a scientific stand-point, the average weight of a man compared to how much sugar it would take to cause heart and liver failure, the statistical probabilities of the average person being allergic to chocolate, and even the risk of choking. it took less than five seconds for him to come up with a reasonable number.

it was only then that he realized this question made absolutely no sense.

❛ i am not that annoying. ❜
