closed starter for @raveningly location Black Diamond Brewers

— Long day?

André didn't really care. He was there mostly to keep an eye than because he wanted to be. As the manager, he needed to stay in the stabilishment and always would make a point to stick around especially in the busiest hours of the day.

The figure he had adressed was one he had seen often at the Pub, and like him, he seemed to like to keep to himself. Today he seemed particularly tired. He would indulge.

𝐂𝐋𝐎𝐒𝐄𝐃 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐄𝐑: for @raveningly !! 𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄 & 𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐍: ironwood grove, past midnight

a  cold  wind  whistled  over  the  gravestones,  a  thoroughly  lonely  and  haunting  sound,  but  sabine  barely  noticed  it.  if  there  were  any  restless ghosts  wandering  in  the  dark,  they  were  the  last  thing  she  had  to  worry  about.  it  was  the  living  who  seemed  a  far  greater  threat tonight — in  particular,  the  man  standing  in  front  of  her  now.  his  smile  pleasant,  his  eyes  bright  and  dark  as  flint.  watching  her  expectantly. reluctantly,  she  slipped  a  hand  into  the  pocket  of  her  fur-lined  coat,  drawing  out  the  little  purse  of  coins.  she  dropped  it  in  his  outstretched  palm.  ❝ my  letters,  m’sieur, ❞ she said, prompting him, taking care to keep her voice light. her head held high, chin raised — poised and perfectly unbothered, even as her stomach knotted with a sickening anxiety. ❝ i believe that was our agreement, no? ❞ he held the purse up, examining it in the pale moonlight, then gave her another polite ( nearly apologetic ) smile. ❝ surely, madam dupont, it's better if i hold onto them. i wouldn't want to cause you or my employer any more embarrassment. ❞ she opened her mouth to protest, but he was already brushing past her, making his way towards the graveyard gates. vanishing into the dark. too late. and anyway, what could she truly have said? there were so few cards in her hand left to play, when he'd already proved himself immune to both her charms and her fury. alone among the stones, she stared blindly at nothing, feeling tears begin to prickle at her eyes, a bitter frustration rising. bile in her throat. and then she heard it — a crackling among the dead leaves, a footstep. her first absurd thought was that it was him, come back to savour his triumph over her. that, or a ghost. she blinked hard, trying to collect herself again. turned quickly to look around, dark eyes wide and wary. ❝ who's there? ❞

"10 random facts about you" tag thing

So, I got tagged here - http://thismomentislost.tumblr.com/post/31601309760/got-tagged-again - by thismomentislost (thank you!) and decided to really replay this time.

Here you go, 10 very random facts about me:

1. When I was small, we used to jump rope very much in my countryside, so that's the only sports thing I'm good at.

2. I don't like tomatoes, cabbages, pumpkins and a lot of other vegetables. But I love cucumbers, peas, beans and boiled broccoli as much as sweets and meat.

3. When I was small I hated books. My brother tried to make me read Harry Potter when I was about 8. I tried, but didn't understand a thing. But then one evening when I was 11 or 12 I started to read it and just couldn't stop. So thank you, J. K. Rowling, for making me love reading!

4. I don't like horror movies. I'm very nervous and chicken-hearted. That can be seen in lots of different situations.

5. My favorite songs in 6th grade were Nantes by Beirut, Lonely Day by System of a Down and Unintended by Muse. Now I'm drowning in different kinds of music, but I could say that my favorite musician is Regina Spektor.

6. I like things being tidy, but I'm bad at keeping them like that. One day I spend hours tidying everything and the next day everything is a mess.

7. I don't know anything about cooking or gardening. I'd make a very bad (house)wife.

8. I suck at improvising things. I have to know what I'm doing before I do it.

9. I truly joined tumblr on June 6th because of BBC Sherlock and Benedict Cumberbatch. I have watched all the episodes at least twice, but I haven't watched Reichenbach Fall at all. Saving myself from emotional damage or just being weird, I don't know.

10. I'm living in Latvia and learning to be a choir conductor.
