Closed starter for @hidefire

Everyone has their limits. Everyone. Finn had learned his and how far they could be pushed quite young in his life, and he still has to deal with the fallout of this. He likes to think that his limits- though decidedly not what they ideally should be- are fairly out of reach now, and he can go about his life without them being stretched too much.

And then Rain

Rain is cool. He likes Rain a lot, and enjoys her company thoroughly. Whatever dead siblings Rain has, however, he doesn't like. His friend never talks about her family, as cagey around that story as he is with the basement and camp. But through at least seven calls, Finney has gathered that there used to be at least one sibling, the sibling is normal, the sibling is dead

And the sibling hates his guts.

At his wits' end, Finn goes to Rain and asks, "What is your brother's fucking deal?"

@hidefire asked: -- " are you scared? " ( jackie + rain )

( jennifer's body - quotes )

jackie has to hold back from letting out a scoff - is she scared? - of course she's scared. she's fucking terrified actually, they're stranded in the middle of the canadian wilderness with no hopes of getting out. running lower and lower on food by the day, rescue isn't an option anymore. but ... but no one else seems to be terrified, no one else is acting like they are probably going to fucking die out here. no, instead - everyone else is all gung ho. playing swiss family robinson or whatever. so, so - she looks to rain, forces a little smile on her face and gives a shrug. "i guess a little but we'll be fine, right? they're going to find us eventually." even if she knows damn well she doesn't believe that.

@hidefire sent “Do you ever think about leaving town?” She obviously does. “Like, actually doing it.” for a random starter

tyler sits on that one a moment even thought an answer immediately comes to mind: yes. however, there are a few things holding him back. "i'm not sure," he begins, unsure of how to articulate it better than, "if i even can anymore."

Rite's voice is gruff. His face is twisted in a deep frown. His scarred face is harsh as it looks at her. He thought she understood now to survive this place. He thought she was smarter than this.

"shouldn't be here," he grunts, attempting to reason with her. "sci won't like it."

@hidefire ::

when julian rolls into el wray's auto salvage and wrecking crew outside of regular working hours, the eponymous esteban el wray knows better than to ask questions. they exchange nods through the little window in the main office, but there's also a look of warning from esteban. it's a face that says, "if you're gonna set something on fire, just make sure nothing explodes." because julian's sort of done this before — and things have certainly exploded. but it's nothing he can't sweet talk his way out of, and let's be real. none of this stuff is actually something they'd miss.

"welcome to my stomping grounds," julian tells rain as they pass the threshold of the gates and the main office and finally enter the junkyard, a cemetery of cars that once were, old fridges, rusty scaffolding, and just about anything else expendable and made of metal. "don't worry about esteban watching us or anything. he'll leave in a few minutes if he wants to catch the $5 pizza special at malnati's." which, he always does.

continued with @hidefire from here

he stops to stare at her, mouth drawn in a tight line. he's stayed quiet since it ended, not trusting what might come out while he's this pissed. mostly at himself. a little bit at her. a lot at the situation. one hard tug ties off the makeshift bandage, and he turns her forearm over in his hand.

"make a fist." nerve damage check. the knife went pretty fucking deep.

@hidefire asked: "I do as I'm told. I don't question it." for lucifer

a breathless laugh escapes from him at that. oh. oh, really? "yeah, i was expecting something a little more enlightening than that." a step closer. "no one just breaks in here. so start at the beginning. who are you, and who sent you?"

@hidefire — cont. from here !

not anymore. it's an odd concept, wrapping her head around the fact that someone has her back, will protect her, when it's not something that she's had before. partially her own fault — the desire to keep most people at arm's length always wins out, but never rain.

"i'm fine, i promise," and maybe her hand is covering rain's as her body sways into her space like it belongs there. "can't say you're like my knight in shining armor 'cause i feel like the armor being shiny means you don't do shit, but — a knight."
