There now. It was done. there was no more for today. Tonight? Yes.
They were all together again. Roisin was glad she did not have to stay, but she knew she was not alone even as she left the familiar sounds of the bickering rulers of the village behind a heavy ancient door.
With a concerned frown, Roisin looked to where she had felt the cold stare, meeting the eyes of someone she had hoped to avoid tonight.
They were here? No. They were supposed to be in with the others. Yes. That was right.
“There is... something you would like? Yes?”
She began cautiously, doing her best to avoid any distain for them in her voice. Roisin preferred the lords- hell, even Miranda to this crazed zealot. The lords did not think of her as a person, but they also never questioned her allegiance to the cause.
Poking and prodding. Scheming and spying. Why had she stopped? This was not good. No.
Roisin had avoided them for a long time now- but she knew there was only so long until their venomous eyes landed on her.
Hm. Yes. Time to taste poison- perhaps it is time to share some of hers, too.
Roisin could feel the cold falling upon her like a delicate veil as snow fell tenderly from above- but just barely. There was a numbness surrounding her heart as one last defence against the place that had taken so much from everyone who lived there.
She was dying, and she almost welcomed it. It had been so long. There was no one left to remember her anymore and she was tired of fighting. Hopefully she could see her family again in death- maybe she could apologize for leaving them without so much as a trace. They would hug and cry together, and she wouldn’t be alone.
Although… death seemed to want to take its sweet time. Roisin was a bit frustrated that it didn’t come to her faster. Her wet clothes had started to stick to her skin as they froze- it was the worst around the gaping wound in her side. Every little movement seemed to pull uncomfortably at the borders of it and made her wince.
She shut her eyes, a gentle grating moan slipped past her lips as she heard someone approach. They stopped near her, and Roisin opened her bleary eyes to see Miranda’s second in command. But now she couldn’t manage the vitriol she had harboured for all those years- just... sadness.
Moreau and Roisin is now a favorite of mine (Thanks u did this)
|| Random Asks | {always accepting}
|| s fdwbsjfaghbejb er SHHHHHHHHHH I’m so glad I’ve converted you thank you. I think they’re a really good fit too tbh. They really deserve each other.
|| They probably take turns for the most part. Moreau is a better cook than she is, but Roisin doesn't like to just sit around all day waiting for him to get back so she probably makes food to surprise him before they both head to the pub to relax/have fun.
Who spams the other with memes?
|| Not applicable considering the timeline, but Moreau would probably hide a lot of love notes in different places where she'd find them throughout the day. Mostly little things like the things he loves/appreciates about her. He's pretty romantic and I think it'd be really funny for her to just open her book that she keeps addresses in but then SLAMS it right away because there was a super sweet note hidden in there that her poor heart can't handle.
Who likes to tidy around the house?
|| Equality baby- but Moreau is probably a little more organized than Roisin so he'd at least find it easier to be more tidy- not that Roisin wouldn't TRY.
Who likes to play pranks on the other?
|| Moreau for SURE likes to see how flustered he can make her randomly (see the note thing above) but I think that Roisin would get him back (romantically) in ways he doesn't expect. Then my, my~ how the turn tables >:)
Who asked the other to move in with them?
|| I mean he lives in the village already, so Roisin would probably just stick with him.
Who is in charge of the music during a car ride?
|| Again, not very applicable to their timeline bit I feel like they'd get into petty old-people fights about music choice sometimes because they both have a love of music, although their tastes are pretty similar.
Who is more likely to tickle the other mercilessly?
|| Again, I think they would both have a tendency to let down their gaurd with each other, but I think Moreau likes to start tickle-wars because he likes to hear her laugh.
Who needs to hold the other during scary movies?
|| Moreau is not a fan of horror- not that he'd admit that. He's a grown man, for Pete sake... Roisin picks up on his fear pretty quickly and will occasionally pretend to be MORE scared so that he feels a bit better about being freaked-out.
Who has to help the other when it comes to technology?
|| They both have no idea what the hell is going on tbh.
Who likes to get a bit frisky in public / an inappropriate setting?
|| Surprisingly...? Roisin. I feel like she wouldn't be SUPER obvious about it, but it'd be part of her revenge for all the love letters that have been falling out of her bag all day- Doctor~
|| Not to mention she loves to see him flustered as well.
Who wakes up first, and do they wake up the other or let them rest?
|| Again, they probably wake up at around the same time and are up pretty early to do their respective jobs. Regardless of who wakes up first, both of them have trouble waking the other up and they just enjoy a few moments gently caressing the other's shoulder or brushing strands of hair off of the others face- really just enjoying the site of the person they adore with all their heart right beside them.
Who is always taking pictures of the other when they aren’t looking?
|| Both of them, but I think Moreau likes to do it a bit more- he likes to have pictures of her up next to his desk or just hidden around in journals and tackle boxes he takes out- just so he doesn’t miss her as much.
Who always forgets their wallet and never ends up paying for anything?
|| Roisin does tend to misplace her stuff a lot more often, but even if she didn’t Moreau likes to insist on paying for pretty much everything if they’re ever out together. Roisin hates this and doesn’t feel like he should have to do that- let her treat you for once god damn it!
Who can’t sleep because the other snores or moves too much at night?
|| WELL Roisin kicks in her sleep and Moreau snores so they’re both terrible tbh. But they’re both pretty deep sleepers too so it’s not too much of a problem.
Who is better at video games, and do they let the other win or show no mercy?
|| Timeline doesn’t really allow for this, but they do play cards/board games with each other all the time. Roisin is REALLY good at card games that involve bluffing though and she absolutely never lets him win. He is very frustrated and grumpy about this.
Who always gets up in the middle of the night to use the restroom and accidentally wakes up the other?
|| Again- both deep sleepers so it’s not usually an issue. But I feel like once the Spanish Flu hits the village Moreau starts having problems with nightmares under the stress of it all- He’s the only doctor in a good distance and would be stretched pretty damn thin. I think sometimes he’d wake up with his heart pounding in his chest and then turn to look at Roisin to calm down, then wrap his arms around her and let himself go back to sleep.
|| I am honestly super intrigued by Magdaline and Roisin’s dynamic now. You could totally consider them foils to each other in their main verses.
|| They both made different choices (that were pretty dang reasonable giving their respective circumstances) when faced with a similar situation with some key differences. Magdaline embraced the power they were given after a whole life of misery. Meanwhile, Roisin had it forced upon her by pure chance and decided to fight against it as much as she could regardless of how futile it might be.
|| In different words, Roisin’s pride lead her to believe nothing is more important than preserving who she is. For Magdaline, they did what they had to do in order to escape and take control of their life.
|| Ugh I love it when these two interact its just so interesting...
Their relationship was fairly pleasant until Miranda changed them. Roisin used to pity them, but then lost all respect for Magdalene once they became one of Miranda’s biggest supporters.
Roisin isn’t as frightened of them as much as the lords, if only because she knew Magdalene better before. She has high-key bitter resentment towards them that trumps any fear.
Whenever they meet (if Miranda isn’t around), prepare for a battle of witty, snarky insults. The first one to loose their temper or acknowledge a remark looses.
Roisin likes to inconvenience Magdalene as much as possible. How far can she push a delivery for them? As long as possible?? So that lovely Mags looks silly in front of Miranda? Faaaaabuloussss. But vindicating and hopefully Magdalene will start to see that Miranda is using them- all of them.
Magdalene likes to confront Roisin constantly to try and make her squirm- asking her about her loyalty to Miranda. Roisin is very straight-forward: She does not like what Miranda has done and thinks she is a deranged murderer, but she is under their control- what does it matter what she thinks?
