CS: Sizzling Summer Heat

@islcchildren

 Leaning against the restaurant counter, Heath took a long, savoring sip of his tea, looking rather pleased for this small respite. Although he wasn’t one to cower against the hot summer heat, it was definitely taking a toll around him- and just this bit of a break against the cranky masses was satisfying enough for the god. That was, until he felt a familiar gaze of a regular customer practically piercing through him.

Stamping his cup firmly onto the counter, he raised a brow and slowly turned his gaze to them,”Can I help you or something?” he spat with a hint of venom in his tone. Often he wouldn’t mind an admirer, but with the irritation in the air, he was already in a mood.

Open; Happy Haunts

“What exactly is stopping us from throwing a total rager in the Haunted Mansion? Like really, How often have they had a swinging wake in the last month? When was the last time those grim grinnin’ ghosts felt alive? Then again I could ask myself the same thing,...you gonna help me scheme or what?”

Heath turned with a smirk, tapping at the decrepit counter of the restaurant as he pictured it in his head. The food, the dancing- it’d be as closest thing to one of Olympus’ wild gatherings here on earth for that matter. Dionysus might end up absolutely quivering in his chiton by the time Heath was done.

“we’re making a third gospel truth if I’ve got any say in it.”

Partners in Crime

@soulrct liked/reblogged the starter call

Heath was definitely one to recognize that Hayden’s whole thing was villainy- his brother’s specialty of being a ne’er do well  absolutely not lost on him. It seemed each and every plot was nothing short of drafted masterpiece; which Heath did admire even if he lacked the same drive as him. This didn’t mean he didn’t enjoy a wicked caper with him from time to time.

“Hayden,...babe, buddy, hermano, You know I love hanging out in dingy warehouses as much as the next guy but we definitely gotta spice things up! When was the last time you felt alive huh? And don’t say plotting without me.” He points out, kicking his feet back and forth as his eyes scanned around the ramshackle warehouse he utilized.

His amber gaze soon darted to Hayden, his fingerlessly-gloved hands wrapped tighter around the satchel he had brought over for his dear brother ”We’re princes of the underworld, why coop up in here instead of tearing up this trash heap? In a hot-headed-brotherly-escapades sorta way, y’know?”  he babbled on as he undid the straps and offered the pouch of soggy loukoumades over to him.

“What do you say? Partners in crime?”

   “Erm... I was doing a little dusting and I knocked over a vase. I still haven’t checked if it shattered. I probably should, since it was made out of glass and all.”

   “I caught a break there. Still... It wasn’t easy. Some of them were close to awakenin’ before I beat ‘em. Anyways, the name’s Zara. I’m the Claymore in charge of this region.”

   Zara smiled, showing her gratitude towards the other.

"So, Jack, how'd it go? I'm taking it you were successful?" (@mikanikole)

   “It went well, thank you for asking. The advice you gave me worked splendidly.”

Shay nodded. “Good. That.. good. We need to go soon.” She muttered, going through her cases again. “I think i have everything.” She said, smiling at Malekai. “We will have alot of nice pictures. Im sure.” She said, sitting next to him and blushing. “Im glad im going with you too.” She whispered, smiling. “Come on. We need to go. I have the maps in my bag.” She said, getting up and taking her cases. Each of them had two cases, and one small bag. She took her things and went to the door, looking at their apartment with a small smile. “Im going to miss this place. But we will be back in a month or two. Right?” She said, joking slightly.

   “Right. We will come back. Of course that does not mean we won’t find a place we might want to move to later on.” Returning the smile, he shut and locked the door behind them. 

    Once the two had all of their bags and coolers in the back, they began their road trip across the country. It had taken months of preparations. Hotel reservations, tickets, and everything else one could think of. 

   “Let us get a bit of a system set in place for the longer driving days. First off I think that the passenger should be the navigator, especially in cities and on freeways.”

Strange Library Encounters {Closed Starter}

   Libraries were one of the few places were he found respite from all the noise and chaos that occurred on a daily basis on the city. The near silence of the building always had a calming effect on him. He was known quite well by the staff, as he spent hours upon hours in there when he was not working.

   Today was like any other of his days off of work. He planned to look at a few new arrivals, along with a few of the classics he had on his must-read list. 

  However, it was not long before he realized that something was off. There was an odd presence in the library. It was definitely not human, yet he could not quite place what it was. For the time being he decided it was best not to try and locate the source. The last thing he wanted was to cause a scene. 

   The universe had a peculiar way of messing with him. It always loved to antagonize him at the most inopportune of moments. 

    When he found himself in the classics section, he became distracted by looking for a particular title, so he did not pay any heed to his surroundings, which led him to bump into someone. 

    “S... Sorry about that! Are you okay?”
