@jatlaguar gets a thread from a guest muse T PHILIPS!

The desert only held so many secrets. His daughter had been going too much to San Andreas for his liking. Too much to the city than he preferred. Her not answering her cellphone, only coming home when it was deep into the night when he was so far into a gasoline huffing binge that he didn't even know where he was. She smelled like someone's cologne, not dirt, not sweat. COLOGNE. He hates cologne. She was betraying him, wasn't she. BETRAYING HIM! No, no... Bethany would never betray him. SHE WAS HIS LITTLE GIRL!

Pulling up in his Bohdi, he parks it but it skids the tires from slamming on the breaks. He definitely wasn't one to show up quietly. The park wasn't too filled, it was mainly just the two of them. His daughter and ... HIM. HIM! IT'S HIM! He's seen him before. That damned drifter that had gotten away from him. Damn he was fast. But no wonder, the kid is skinny.

"BETHANY PHILIPS!" Trevor's voice booms as he stomps towards the pair of them, Bethany was smoking a cigarette and drinking a Diet Coke and she seemed not fazed by her father's screaming.

"Oh hey T, what are you -- ... " Trevor had snatched Dee up before she could get the words out. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH MY DAUGHTER YOU FUCKFACE?"

"Oh I know who you are, Dr. Mordaunt." Sid cut an imposing figure as he strode across the room and draped into a chair like he owned the place. A cold, overly bright, smile sat stagnant on his face, unchanging even as he looked around before unflinching eyes fixed on Gilmary. Even as he pulled at the pale pink sleeves of his shirt, making sure the perfect amount peeked out from under the soft blue suit. Sid took his sweet time to get comfortable before finally continuing.

"I just want to know what happened." He repeated, "I want to understand why I keep getting saddled with ungrateful little rats." Sid pulled a phone from his pocket, "I keep them safe, I give them a home," He tossed it over, no warning, the screen was cracked but a picture of Cooper on the lock screen made it clear whose phone it was. "And yet, they stab me in the back."

@jetlaguar gets a starter from melonie.

Getting the text that immediately started with, "Hey it's Dominic, the guy who hit you with his car" was not exactly the text she was expecting mid afternoon while she was at work. She still remembers the whole thing, the bump wasn't too bad but she did fall, try to catch herself and ultimately knock her shoulder out of place. Melonie was used to pain with her being so accident prone. Probably, the whole car hitting her thing was somewhat her fault.

Honestly, Melonie had never been so flattered as to someone wanting to take her out especially after being so sweet in the text message. So, she got ready to go. A nice striped purple sweater, nice jean style jeggings and a cute little purse, she stood outside of her apartment building ready to be picked up, probably by the same car who had ran into her before. Wouldn't that be funny.

Approaching the upcoming car, she smiles and leans down to the window. "Hey, you're Dominic right?" The smile was shy, blush on her cheeks. "So, coffee?"

@jetlaguar continued from ... here!

It had been a beyond busy day at the diner. People came to the diner during the Fourth of July times every year and since this was upstate New York she understood why. It's beautiful in the summer and there were many exciting things to do with simple young families. She's a little tired, Bohdi had kept her up most of the night seeming to be on high alert. She gave him all of the love and pets though, he deserved it. But just look at her now, a bit grouchy standing over him as she taps her pen on the order pad.

"Okay," she lets out a breath. "I recommend the jalapeno burger all the way. Our burgers are great, they're more like smash burgers. They're really thin and crispy." she points to the other burgers on the menu. "Our cheese is actually from a local dairy. It's delicious. And we get our ice cream from them as well." she's showing him with the end of her pen and flipping through the simple menu. One side shown breakfast ( 4am - 10:30am ) and the rest was dinner and lunch.

"We also have chicken fingers. And we have fried catfish this time of year." she feels like a broken record. "We have simple milkshakes right here. I think the blender is working. Hand spun." She showed chocolate, vanilla, strawberry and cookies and cream.

"Everything is good. I know where all the food comes from so it's all local and no additives." It's expensive too. "Uhm. The special today is a cheese burger with fries, it comes with your drink. 10.99."

@jetlaguar continued from here! / hehe.

Elouise angled the picture towards him with a light smile on her face, it warmed her heart to see a happy couple ( as happy as they usually look in old photographs ). She laughed softly, a beautiful laugh. "You never know what they were like when they were living. They might have been happy. They look like a nice couple." she was truly admiring it before placing it back on the shelf. She might even buy it, but she's saving her money. She wants a tattoo.

"So you're saying that you haven't had your picture taken? That's too bad. You have the face for it." A smile had come onto her face, hand then was held out. She was sure her had looked intimidating at how pale her skin was and how long her stiletto fingernails were. "I'm Elouise Choi." she said, dark eyes gazing at him. You could lightly hear the loud rock music in her ear through the bluetooth ear bud but it wasn't harming her hearing. She wondered if he'd know her last name from the local funeral home. The biggest one in the city. But she wouldn't plan on it. If you're not dying, she usually doesn't get recognized.

@jetlaguar continued from here.

"Dee - " Cue Indigo trying to shrug off her brother's jacket to replace it with her own, at least it had a hood. "You're going to get sick and you know it." she hadn't told him that she was going to the shop to just tinker around. Keeping her head cool and calm was always her number one priority and that's what she did to keep herself relaxed. "You could have called." As if she'd pick up.

[scaredlibrary]

@jetlaguar in response to this ask!

Well, she doesn't know what to think about this. She's sitting cross - legged on the small sofa on the opposite side of his office, hand gently gripping the walkie talkie in her hand. Allison hummed. slightly shifting in her seat. "You know, I - uh ... am not going to hurt you." she then takes her finger off the talk button and sets it down in her lap. Sure she has a hard time controlling her powers because of her emotions but she tried to let that slide. She hoped he did too. She doubted it though.

Their previous sessions hadn't gone well. She hated that fact too. Her childhood though was filled with severe trauma that she almost did NOT want to get over. But she had been trying. She tried doing more things with her animals, even trying to write in a journal but it seemed to be no use. "I almost got up the courage to go to the store the other day. Thought you'd be proud of that."

[ 🧨 ]ㅤ.ㅤwhat’s the quickest way to set them off, even if they hide it well ?

Threatening Cooper. If anyone but Sid did that, they'd end up in the chair, or used as bait in supernatural beast pit fights.

He'd even tense up at jokes, Cooper being in someone's way so they threaten jokingly to turn him into a rug if he doesn't move, that sort of thing. He'd need to Calm Down even though he'd know it's a joke. He'd know. But he'd still feel that reaction. If he didn't like the person, they'd know he wasn't happy, they'd get threatened right back. Doesn't matter if it was a joke.

[ 🪞 ]ㅤ.ㅤwhen have they looked at their reflection and hated what they saw ?

It's much rarer he likes what he sees. Not his appearance, he likes how he looks physically. But he's someone who can't just see that when he looks at himself. He sees the sum of all his errors all his choices. He hates that person, and he hates that he wont do anything about that.

In terms of when he hated how he looked physically, it would be major injuries. Feeling sick and angry that he let it happen, seeing one of the only things he likes about himself get so fucked up. Watching how long it takes him to heal vs how quick it should be for a salamander.

[ 🧩 ]ㅤ.ㅤwhat’s a truth about themselves they refuse to admit ?

Oh god. So many.

The looming mortality is probably a big one.

[ ⚓ ]ㅤ.ㅤwhat does “home” mean to them ?

He doesn't know. He doesn't feel homesick for his childhood, he doesn't feel some strong connection to it. Liked it more than the warehouse, sure, but that's not saying much.

Really, at the moment, he's the sort of person who sees home and a feeling of safety than a physical place. It was feeling safe and taken care of by Balun in the caves. It's Cooper following him around when he's had a bad day.
