 "i’ve got one iced coffee for the pretty lady who works too hard!” with two drinks in hand, julian strut through the office until he reached verena’s impeccably clean workspace. he waited until he was just behind her to announce his arrival, and placed the drink just in front of her hand. “whatcha got going on?” making himself comfortable, julian jokingly took a seat on verena’s lap, the two of the barely fitting in the chair. he adjusted around a little, enough to stay within the limits of what vee would find funny before getting upset. the gag didn’t last long before he figured he was crushing the tiny girl, and swiftly got off with a chuckle. he pulled out someone else’s chair and brought it up next to hers, now sitting by her side.

“  halloween is just around the corner, and you’re the best planner i know so  . . .  ”  naomi takes a seat next to vee, placing her laptop and notebooks in front of the two and showing the other everything she’s come up with so far.  “  we’ve never had a party at the hq. not even the old one. since halloween is like our thing, i was thinking maybe we could throw a costume party here. we can even make it a public event so we can get some good press or whatever. do you think it’s a good idea ? you know , after what happened last year ?  ”  she asks vee, opening her laptop so that she could sign in.  @yalikeghosts

bryce walks into the hq, eyes glued to his phone as music softly plays through his headphones. it had always been a bad habit of, not paying attention to where he was going and more invested in to whatever it was that was displayed on the screen of his phone. so when he bumps in to someone else, he’s already halfway through an apology before he realizes who it is. “ oh shit, vee. sorry about that. don’t kill me. ” he brings his hands up, defensively. bryce knew verena enough to know that she would actually kill him over something as small as not paying attention. it feels like it’s been forever since he’s even talked to the girl, the both of them being occupied with different things left little to no time for them to hang out or anything. plus, from the looks of it, she had something going on with isaiah and julian.

the doctors had told julian to stay off his leg as much as possible while the stitches set in, and he was gladly taking the opportunity to relax with verena acting as his very own in-home nurse. he had already read through two different journals for his history class, and nearly jumped for joy when he heard his girlfriend coming home. as she came in to see him, julian instantly grabbed a hold of her hands, pulling her down into the bed with him. “what’ve you been up to today?” being stuck in bed had been killing him the past few days. “did you stop by the office? how are things going on there?” after realizing he was just bombarding the girl with questions, julian pressed his lips against her neck a few times, giggling out an apology. “i’m so bored, vee. give me the juicy details. pretty please?”

         naomi slowly creeps up behind verena, hands coming out to tickle at her sides and she lets out a small laugh.  “  hey you. i’m going to need you to get your nose out of this book and come hang out with me.  ”  she takes the book out of vee’s hand and tosses it aside, looking at her.  “  better yet, why aren’t you with your boo thing, resident nerd julian vega ? i would have expected for you two to be getting it on if you know what i mean.  ”  @yalikeghosts

@yalikeghosts this is short but haha we got shit to do

there was something in verena’s voice that rattled julian to the core. their phone conversation was eerily quick–not even a minute long. once vee had asked him to come over and he agreed, she hung up. he felt like calling her back, just to see what the real problem was, but he hurried to get ready and out the door, arriving at her dorm in less than ten minutes. the building was much warmer than the cold winter air outside, but his hands wouldn’t stop shaking even after he balled them in the pockets of his jacket. practically bouncing in the elevator, julian rushed out and to her dorm, the path throug ht e hallway etched into his memory. he reached for the handle, but found the door locked. “vee?” he called out, knocking. julian hoped–prayed that once she opened the door and faced him, his worries would fade.

when he heard the gentle knocks on the door, julian jumped up immediately from the kitchen table, almost sending his laptop flying to the floor in doing so. “hey–come on, i’ve got everything set up already,” he almost started speaking before opening the door, anxious to get verena on the same page as he was. he let her inside, and began pointing to everything on the table. file folders and printed articles were stacked on top of each other, his laptop on the edge, with two usb sticks jammed in it’s sides. “okay… this is… everything i could find on sabrina zoel. a ton of it is identical to the research damaris did before, but there’s some stuff i haven’t ever read before. i also got elijah to hand over everything he has found on the connection between spirits and their personal objects, and… other stuff.” though julian wanted to be able to tackle the problem they were faced without mentioning silverwood, one of the usb drives were full of the video files daniel had handed over to him not long before his death. he didn’t want to even think about it, but was ready to, if necessary.

@yalikeghosts did someone say short and sweet??

“thanks,” julian said the instant verena opened her door to let him in. for the past half hour he had been in a near-panic state, though wore it bravely and calmly on the outside. he needed someone else to ease his anxiety; he needed someone more level-headed than his two roommates. if anyone had the chance of talking down julian, it would be verena. once fully inside, he stuttered around what he really wanted to say, before finally spitting it out. “i know it’s late–like, it’s probably midnight by now, right? god, i’m sorry. but thank you. i’m serious.” he had been fearful that instead of answering his call, vee would have been busy with isaiah. but she picked up almost instantly. “i know i didn’t make any sense over the phone. i’m kind of…” without sleeping much the past three days, julian’s tiredness had transformed into even more anxiety. bugs hung under his brown eyes as he slid a hand over his face, trying to collect himself. “i don’t want you to think i’m going crazy. but i think i’m going crazy.”
