Business Plans || James & Inola

@overtureofchaos

The sounds of hammering and mens voices filled the air as Inola stepped out of the hotel. It was a cool morning, as it usually was this time of year, and a smile blossomed on her face. As nice as San Francisco had been she was glad to be home, especially at a time when the future was ripe for those ready to take it. Having arrived a two days earlier she was glad that Menewa was on another part of the island. She was sure he was going to ask questions, and with those questions would come answers he wouldn't want to hear and that would lead to a fight. Though she was ok with fighting, for she had learned long ago not to back down, she had more important things to take care of. The first meeting she needed to have was what would set the stage for her career and her place on this island. Stepping down she headed over the small house where Mr. James Delaney lived, or was currently living until his house was complete. Knocking gently at the door she smiled warmly at the young boy who answered. Speaking in her native tongue she greeted him warmly, following to a small office where James sat. Inola smiled warmly at the man who she hadn't seen in years, in fact she was quite a little girl back then.

"Welcome home to Nootka," she said with a smile, noticing how life had not been kind to James. There was a scar over his left eye now, and those same blue eyes were cold. Despite the smile he gave her she could see the pain there. Though Menewa would not be happy to know Inola had become quite the read of people, especially men and James was hurting. "It's been a long time, but you are finally home." Taking in his warm embrace she squeezed his hand. "The house is coming along nicely, of course not as nice as your hotel, which I've had the pleasure of staying in." Raising a hand she stopped him before he could ask why she hadn't gone home. "I came with some friends, and they wouldn't want to stay on tribal land." Sitting down in a chair across from the desk she fixed her skirts. "I came here to see you of course, but I also came to speak about business, and considering Menewa probably won't like this business the sooner I get your blessing the better, and I hope I can get that." Smiling warmly once again she licked her lips, remembering her childhood crush on the man in front of her.

Rosie was keen to go shopping and though she knew James wasn’t going to be okay with it, she intended to buy him some new clothes, whether he let her or not. She’d slipped into one of her favourite dresses, determined to wear them all as many times as she could until it got too cold, and was sitting on the edge of the bed, a smile on her face as she gazed up at James, he was shirtless, looking around for a clean shirt and she was definitely not complaining. “Not that I mind you being shirtless all the time, but I think we need to get you some new shirts.”

Rosie had thought that her and Mia were just walking to the kitchen to make some kind of junk food desert that would allow her to eat her feelings away, but they were not even close to the kitchen when she was suddenly being pushed sideways and into what seemed to be a closet. She turned to look at Mia and ask what exactly she was doing, but the doors were then closed in her face. She frowned, wondering what the hell was going on, and tried to push it open, but it seemed to be locked from the outside somehow. The only light was the small amount of light the weak lightbulb above her head was giving out, so it was quite dim. “Amelia, come on, let me out. Very funny.”

Plead the Fifth || Lily & James

Lily sat in the Gryffindor Common Room with a Care of Magical Creatures textbook open to a page about Thestrals, and a letter from her Godmother Luna in her hands. It was difficult sometimes for Lily to reconcile the information from both sources, but she always had believe that Luna had a funny way of always being right in the end. Of course, her own notes sat beside her on the couch and her potions homework lay undone somewhere in her dorm room vicinity, as it would likely remain until twenty minutes before it was due. 

The second best way for Lily to escape was to get lost in the one subject she really cared about, the first being exploring the forest to actually find the creatures she was studying up on, and with all that was happening she really needed to escape. She was about to write something on a new piece of parchment when she saw a first year scamper though the room with a rather frightened look on his face. "Hal?" She asked, confused. Until she spotted a familiar mop of black hair.

Sitting on the edge of one of the school's many walls, Eoghan was thinking. Now, I can hear you asking, 'he can think?' Why yes, disembodied voice of the reader, he can. His mind was wandering over the coming full moon. Although he had gotten used to shifting, there was a part of him deep inside that hated the thought and actually slightly feared the change. He broke his curse at the tender age of sixteen, when it was a family tradition to trigger when you were eighteen. Like a right of passage into adulthood. His twin sister was still to go through it, and their younger brother, but as for his older siblings? It'd happened for them. 

The lycan pursed his lips as he started to rock back and forth. Something he'd always done when he thought to himself, he rocked-- if questioned about it, he'd probably come away with something like it helped his brain function. The full moon was five days away, and he wondered if he was going to hurt someone. Something he'd never wanted to do was put anyone in harm's way, and of late, didn't want to put any of his classmates in the way of danger. Henry, Lux, Blair, Addy, Ethan, James-- and any of the other attendees of the school. But knowing a school full of supernatural teenagers, he guessed that it wasn't going to be long until someone said a 'fuck it' and snuck out on full moon night. Rocking still, he heard footsteps coming up behind him. They caught him off guard and sent him into surprise, making him rock a little too much backwards and fall off the wall and land upside down, facing him. The incubus that he'd grown to call his friend, he stuck his arms out to him and let out a "Help me up!" Good thing about Eoghan? It took a lot to embarrass him.
