"I'm not one to insult a lady's intelligence, Freyja, but what are you doing here?" It was a little dumb for her to be wandering around The Darklands as though she wasn't the perfect snack for a hungry vampire. If she was there for him, all she had to do was call, and he would go to her; so it made Malcolm wonder what was important enough to put herself in harm's way.

It seemed as if everything was crumbling down around him, the number of people he held close seeming to dwindle every time he so much as blinked. His parents had been ravaged by demons. Malcolm, one of his best friends transformed into a vampire. One sister seemingly lost to the vampires. The commander of the hideout now allegedly part of the vampire clan as well. And Bram...his brother, the person he loved and loathed the most, now running with the wolves.

And what did Cardelle Mackie have to show? Nothing. He’d been holed up for however long it had been since the SRS, apprehensive and scared to leave the confined walls of his home or Daniel’s place in fear that Dimitri would jump from the shadows and rip him to shreds on the spot. In actuality, Dimitri probably hadn’t thought of him...wouldn’t even remember his name if he stood in front of the vampire with it written on his shirt.

Today was the day he changed things, started to take his life back, start to get some control over those things he’d lost control over. A shave was the first thing, taking a mass of tangled hair down to something clean and prickly, enough to give definition to a strong jaw. It was strange to see himself in the mirror without it now, having gone months unkempt but it at least elicited a smile across the Mackie’s lips. You’re nearly you again. Blonde locks still fell across his face, too long to cut right now so Cardelle opted to simply tie it back; he could sort that at any time now. He picked up the closest thing he had to a clean and uncrumpled shirt, slung it on as well as whatever else he could find that would be deemed presentable before heading out.

Was he nervous, out in the open, absolutely, but he had direction now, an idea in his head of how he could actually make use of himself. No longer hiding. No longer the weakest link in the family...the weakest link in the hideout. “Axel, sir,” he knocked on the door as he finally arrived at the new commanders room, awaiting a response before he paced tentatively in, “I wondered if I could have a word?”

The bar was busier than normal, people coming in to drink away what had happened and Nick used it as an excuse to stick his nose in his work for once and try not to dwell on things. He flicks his cloth onto his shoulder with a smile once he served the drink and moved onto the neck person who slide into one of his barstools. “Hey, look who it is.” The wolf’s smile turning into a grin as he recognises her.

Azar 📲 Freyja

Azarius: I was told you didn't choke on yesterday's rations.

Azarius: It's a shame. I'll make sure not to make the mistake of giving the job someone incapable next time.

"Come back to bed," Harley whined, stretching out on the bed to pull the covers back for the other. It had been a while since they'd taken some time for themselves, between Sinsation and what they were going to attempt to do for Najelon and Raven, he missed his boyfriend, and he was allowing himself to be selfish about it for one damn day. "Let's have some time together, and I'll make us food, then tonight we dress up and go out to have fun, not because someone wants something from us. Please?"

@oftragxdy - lyric starter - time to dance by p!atd - thaddeus & nisha

"Well, she's not bleeding on the bathroom floor just for the attention," Thaddeus smirked, pushing the now very dead woman from her side onto her back with his foot, "That would just be ridiculously odd." He wasn't one to hide what he had done or what he was doing. In fact, he couldn't think of a single time he'd done anything that he'd lived to regret. Even if things hadn't gone his way, it had been a learning experience, a way to better his evil. "But hey, at least your cleaners will earn their wage today, no?" a beat, "Oh, I hope she wasn't the lead in your next little play or anything? That would be rather unfortunate... for you."

He pulled a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, bringing one to his lips with a lighter in hand, "You don't mind if I smoke in here, do you?" Thad didn't wait for an answer, lighting up and taking a drag. "Didn't think so."

@oftragxdy - lyric starter - give yourself a try by the 1975 - azagi & freyja

"You learn a couple of things when you get to my age," Azagi started, picking at the fries in the centre of their table, "like friends don't lie, and it all tastes the same in the dark." The demon shrugged, looking over the witch. She said she was fine, but she always did. Azagi didn't know when to believe her or call her out on her bullshit. "People think so many things matter, and they don't. A roof over your head, food, and water. That's all a human - or witch - needs. You have that. Things seem to be looking up for you. So I need you to do something, Freyja. I need you to give yourself a try. Really try. Sort this shit out with your magic, talk to other witches, learn control and learn how to protect yourself. I'm working on something, but it doesn't seem like Belgr is going to leave this alone."

The other demon wanted her to put someone in Freyja's place at The Compound, but she couldn't care less about replacing one person. She had used The Compound maybe once; the way she saw it, only the lesser demons had to go there to feed, and if they couldn't find their own food, then they could damn well starve. Besides, one thing she would never go along with was someone trying to tell her what to do.

@oftragxdy liked for a random lyric starter. muse 1: harley, song: feel by maneskin

"oh papi, blue jeans and leather never looked that hot before." harley smirked as he looked the other up and down, unable to stop the hunger in his eyes as he looked at his soulmate looking so god damn delicious. he moved closer to zane, fingers reaching forward to the leather vest that clung to him so good, just to brush against it. "you know what though? blue jeans and leather look even better on the floor." he had seen a lot of people naked in his long, long life, but even now zane still took his breath away when the clothes came off. "you look like you've got something planned... you got something planned, papi?"
