The Observer chuckled, clearly amused by the remark. "Something like that. I don't take you for a Harry Potter-esque wizard, Mr. Talbot. I know you as one. But, as you wish, if it is a no-smoking-allowed bar," he did not take so much as one last drag as he took it from his lips, "I will remain allowed and not smoke."

The cigarette wasn't put out. It vanished from existence entirely, one moment there between his fingers, the next not. Where it went, no one could say. Oh, the Observer did like his cigarettes. Interesting thing, smoking. The people of today didn't think so, as they should. Corporations couldn't be so sneaky about their downsides now that the people who grew up smoking grew old. But the Observer didn't have a body prone to cancers and buildups like humans did. He enjoyed the act of it, he enjoyed the smell of the smoke and the warmth in his mouth, be it from a cigarette, cigar, or ancient pipe from the very beginning of the practice. Prestigious people in the pictures, television shows, you name it did it until quite recently, even. Sometimes they still did. He'd taken it up a long time ago to pass the time as he watched. It was never a habit he could shake.

Regardless, if it was not allowed, it was not allowed. Rather than be kicked out or disappear he'd like to stay and talk to one Liam Talbot, aged forty-something, former-maybe-current rebel, drifting by one magical maguffin to another as he sought something like redemption. Nobody else in the room could see him. Nobody else needed to.

"Just what do you allow? A chat, I hope?"

Oh. That’s what it was all about. Liam finally tucked away his bar spoon, and massaged the bridge of his nose. “Allowed... yeah. Ye can stay and we can... we can talk. We gotta.” Cheeks puffed up, eyes were rolled and a long exasperated sigh finally made known this was not what he had been expecting from this evening.

Back behind the bar, the mage helped himself to a bottle of beer, though he feared he might’ve needed something far stronger. “Drink?”, a question falls between long sips, though by far not the most important question and not the question he was itching to ask either.

Half emptied, Liam put the bottle down in a would-be audible fashion if it wasn’t for the music constant background noise muffling every sound in the Horns & Hooves. Naturally, because of that, Liam spoke a little louder than normally and made sure to overarticulate for additional support. This was an important matter after all. “How come ye know me name and about me... ‘condition’? Who are you?!”

There were just some things Stan couldn't wrap his head around. Sometimes those things pertained to the choices that he found himself making. When talking with his older brother he had been told about how his nephew wanted his kids, twins Dipper and Mabel, to spend some time in the great outdoors because it would be good for them. Stanley, masquerading as his twin brother, Stanford, had obvious agreed that yes, it would be good for aspiring young minds to get out and about and stretch their limbs, explore the unknown or whatever junk he fed the oldest Pines sibling. Little did he know...it was a setup. If he hadn't been so pissed at the time he would have been proud. In hindsight it was easy to see what Sherman was trying to do, but considering Stan had been busy with trying to reconstruct a friggin' portal to world's unknown he hadn't exactly been attentive to the situation. Now, because of this, in a few months he would have to deal with two extra mouths to feed, watch over, and protect from the strangeness of Gravity Falls, Oregon. Luckily he had some help, in a way. With it being close to summer vacation he had gotten himself a cashier for the shack and, as always, he had his handyman to help him out. Hopefully. Speaking of... "Hey, Soos? You around?" With everything on his mind he wasn't sure if Soos had shown up or if he'd left. It was clearly one of those days where everything was up in the air. He was going to need helping moving things out of and into the attic to act as the kids' bedroom on top of the fact that he would have to kid proof the shack even further. There was a difference between the kids that came to visit with their parents during tourist season and having kids actually living there. They could get into anything. That's why he was floundering about the most. He had far too much to hide and everything to lose if he was found out. @susurrone

@susurrone​ (Grimmer): "You seem to know an awful lot, Mr. Bouchard." 

         ❝ Not nearly as much as my staff would like. ❞ Elias exclaims in an exhaled laugh. A smile of natural charisma presses his lips  and his hand waves dispellingly. He’s only 49 (physically, anyways), yet it is fascinating how the youth these days categorizes all adults over 20 as a senior citizen with an inability to learn and adapt. ❝ Technology is advancing far too rapidly these days, wouldn’t you agree? ❞

    He’s so quick. Quick to disarm, to change the subject. To lie without a tell insight.

@susurrone | Meg & Observer, cont.

Meg, herself, is an ancient creature by earthly standards. She’s seen more horrors than she can count on her hands, and so...she recognizes the look of someone who has also seen. Someone less than naive.

He’s different, though. He seems to look right through her, and despite herself, she shivers. Her skin prickling in warning as he tells her that he could’ve read her story as easily as any other. Plucking it off the shelf-

“Who...who are you?” She asks, though she doesn’t know if she’ll actually have an answer. Dainty fingers withdraw a cigarette of her own from her coat pocket. “Got a light?”

SUSURRONE:

The two beings are on a seaside cliff. It’s said that native Americans used to believe these cliffs were dormant giants asleep near the ocean. Now, however, now they’re little more than pretty window-dressing on the island, rarely given much consideration. Because here, the so-called historic Gay Head Lighthouse of one Martha’s Vineyard looms in the distance. Tourists bustle about in the summer sun, taking photographs overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. The Observer watches.

“At times, I simply watch and wait. At times, I intervene, at times I punish, and at times I help.”

The Observer puffs his cigarette.

“For the record, you, Old Man Wake– not humanity, not their schemes, not their downfalls, not their trials, you– might just be the biggest enigma of all.”

YARN-STONE-AND-BOTTLES:

And in reply to the Observer, Old Man Wake lets out a long wheeze, teeth like cockle shells jabbed into his gums, nasty and yellow. Like a storm comes apart those smoke clouds from his lips, joining the puffs exiting that of the man beside him. 

“Aye, more than an enigma poor Ol’ Wake be,” he says. “But me will n’ spirit be no more than what lurks out in me living space. O sea god Poseidon be greater than me, thy Hades be scorchin’ bout these sands we stand on right now -- but somethin’ tells me that yer more than to meets the eye... aye?”

Simply watching and waiting seems too boring for a man like him, and he briefly wonders what patience the Observer has to not lash out when observing the cruelest of men get their ways. Old Wake would rather sleep in bed all day and get his rest for the energy of the night, where his ol’ wickie would be sure to complain about his poor treatment of them.

“Ye don’t get bored doin’ all this?” he asks. “Can’t ye just rest elsewhere? Pop open a nice bottle o’ rum, even get despr’te ‘nuff to handle some kerosene -- ye relax?”

          "Don’t act like one and I won’t need to,” Quinn shot back, her frustration with the man made clear as day. A softness passed through her gaze as she focused on his wound, actively avoiding eye-contact for fear he may notice the subtle shift. She wanted to ensure he knew she meant what she had said, every word of it. The concern she felt whenever sewing shut each gash across his torso brokered inevitable stress she yearned to keep at bay. Times were trying enough without having to worry whether or not he were alive, dead, or bleeding out in a desolate wood.           Her lips pursed themselves together, pressed tightly in place as she fought back a second lecture. His job was a dangerous one, that was well known, and yet...The sorceress gave a sharp shake of her head, exhaling what tensions remained within her throat and tied off the last stitch. “At least agree to rest for a few days.”

"Sweet blood, o, it sings to me." (-@susurrone , from Father Gascoigne for Jeanne)

( Thanks for the ask @susurrone )

“Huh?” Jeanne looks behind her when she hears the strange voice, “Well that’s not ominous. Hey you guys I think we made a wrong turn.”

“What was your first clue?” Jiro asks looking around the incredibly dark and unsettling town, “The hell is this place?”

“I dunno...but it sure is creepy.” Otto comments.

“Calling it now. We’re either in Maine or Rhode Island.” Kara deduces.

“Why those places specifically?” Jeanne asks.

“I dunno, just a feeling?” The assassin shrugs

💖 if I may? (- susurrone/onennian)

Let me compliment you : @susurrone / @onennian : accepting

First off, I applaud you for running two rp blogs at once. I personally think it take’s a good deal of patience and commitment to switch back and forth, as well as ensure you reblog posts from the correct account. I’m overwhelmed just thinking about it.  We haven’t written together yet, but I look forward to having heaps of threads with as many of your muses as we can manage. Especially the horror ones. The range of genre you have for your muses is another thing I appreciate and get excited by. The more options, the better, in my opinion.  As for you as a mun, we’ve only spoken briefly, but I can say I enjoyed said conversation. You were very understanding and easy to communicate with. From one neurodivergant to another, thank you for being so keen on providing both.
