l'appel du vide.

Tamsin Fox | 21 "when darkness calls, you have only one option; answer it."

A grin rose upon his lips at her response. He’s an extremist, partly because of nature, and also because of experience. The demon has learned that the severity of his actions really sent a message. He cocks his head to the side, now releasing a chuckle. “Well, where’s the fun in that, buddy?”

Another laugh left her, this time not quite as nervous as before. Though, she was still a little freaked out by his comment. Who on earth went around threatening people of losing their eyes? Not anyone she knew, up until him. “Being chill can be fun. Just not give a shit about anything, instead of… you know, threatening people around you like it’s nothing?”

Growing up being as shy as he was, it was hard for Victor to make many friends but he remembered always having a good time whenever he was around Tamsin. Being around her again after so long, made all those old feelings come back. It was a nice feeling. In fact, it was one he hadn’t felt in years. “Well you do but I never said you didn’t look like a girl before,” he teased back, chuckling lightly at her push. “I’ve been…around. Just moving around a lot and trying to keep a low profile.” The smallest hint of a frown made its way onto Victor’s face when the brunette stepped back from him but it was soon washed away. “Don’t apologize. I’m just happy you’re not running away screaming thinking I’m a ghost or something.” 

Her sudden outburst had left a slight tinge of pink on her cheeks. Had this been only a few days without seeing him, Tamsin wouldn’t have jumped him like that. She’d gotten so used to having barely any physical contact, it felt a little strange, despite him being her childhood best friend. This was different, they had grown up apart for years, and as much as he would always be her Victor, both of them had changed, hadn’t they? She hadn’t precisely noticed at first, but he had gotten taller indeed, despite her teasing him about it, he was smiling, but there was something in his eyes that didn’t fade away despite his smile; sadness?

“You saying ‘you look like a girl’ kind of implies I didn’t before. Is that you saying I got pretty?” She teased, easily falling into a joking manner to cover up how nervous she actually was. Tamsin hadn’t changed that much, but having dealt with dark magic only a few hours earlier, she wasn’t so sure it wouldn’t be noticeable. Something like that ought to be noticed… not that it had worked, but still. “You’re probably unable to keep a low profile, with looking like that and—I mean, the witchy thing about you, yanno.” She let out a slight chuckle, before clearing her throat and straightening.

“You’re not ugly enough to cause anyone to run away, but had you been paler and slouching around, you might have scared me enough to have me running.” Tamsin smiled, her hands clasped together behind her as she teased him. Perhaps they really hadn’t changed that much after all. Her gaze cast down after a moment, hiding her widening smile. It had been too long since she’d had someone she felt completely at ease with. “I’m… happy to see you’re alive. When I heard about the coven, I thought I had lost you too and that’s—” She cut herself off, those were sad times for everyone in her family, and maybe the saddest part was never getting to say goodbye. “Let’s just say I’m really glad that’s not the case.”

He was sitting in a cute, little corner coffee shop. Jack really had no business being there, just something to kill the time. He took a sip of his coffee, as he scanned across the room. He was not looking for anyone in particular, just glancing at the hustle and bustle of the shop. The demon noticed that there were a pair of eyes set on him. He didn’t look away immediately, in fact he lets his gaze linger a bit too long. 

“Pretty eyes,” the demon commented, loud enough for the other to hear him. “It would be a shame if you lost them.” 

[tamsfox]

“Right,” Tamsin let out, a nervous laugh passing her lips. Honestly, what the fuck? “That’s quite a morbid comment, buddy. Like, perhaps you should chill a little?”

Ryker had not been paying attention to the girl and hadn’t he heard her curse, he wouldn’t have either. Curiosity getting the best of him as well the man made a stop, wondering what was going on with her but figured what had happened once he noticed the coffee all over her face. “ Here, ” he was quickly to find napkins in the nearest table – earning himself looks from those sitting there – and offered them to the girl. “ Is everything alright? ”

“Everything’s great, really. Wonderful,” Tamsin replied, sarcasm heavily laced around her words as she took the napkins from him. She still glared at the plant convinced it had a will of it’s own though it really was all her own fault. “Thanks, by the way. You really didn’t have to.” Thank fuck her tarot set hadn’t suffered as it sat on the table... on its bag.

Before he was able to even think anything else, he felt the girl jump onto him. Almost immediately, his arms wrapped around her body. Both in an effort to keep himself from falling over and because it had been a long time since he’d even seen someone he’d grown up around aside from his brother. “I’m not. And hopefully I won’t be any time soon.” His voice was quiet. After what happened with everyone else, it was a totally fair assessment to make but somehow, he’d just managed to get lucky. He pulled back just a bit from the hug so he could get a good look at her face before the smile on his face widened. “Its nice to see a familiar face after so long.” 

Tamsin wasn’t really one for constant physical contact, not eventual, either, but as she wrapped her arms around him, it was hard for her to want to pull away. Granted, she didn’t know him that well anymore, but he still felt like the same boy she’d been friends with for so long before their paths separated. She stepped back after a moment, an awkward laugh leaving her as she looked up at him. “I thought I looked like a girl now.” She teased, reaching over to push him lightly. “And you’re finally taller than me, so I guess we’re even on that… or not. How—Where have you been? What have you been doing?” She shut up suddenly, taking a step back as she shook her head. “Sorry, I just… It’s been a while.”

There was a second where Victor just stared at the brunette as she reached out to touch him. This was certainly….odd. Women didn’t tend to throw themselves at him like this. After a moment of looking though, realization dawned on him. This wasn’t just a random woman. “Tamsin…” He trailed off before a small smile made its way onto his face. “Alive and kicking. You look… like a girl,” he offered with a small shrug. 

“Holy shit, dude.” Tamsin let out in a whisper. Up until this very moment she’d thought he was dead, just like everyone else they used to know. It’d been years since then and the grief she’d felt back then hadn’t passed completely, but a wave of relief washed over her as she all but jumped him in a hug. The comment about her looking like a girl hadn’t been ignored, but she could put off commenting on it for a moment. “I thought you were… you know.” She decided on after a moment’s hesitation, avoiding using the word that she’d associated with him for so long.

“It’s better than Cousin It,” Finley commented, laughing slightly at themselves. “I got that a lot once when I got a little brave and was in the process of bleaching out my hair. It wasn’t a good look.” Fin shifted from one foot to the other, considering the suggestion of hitting up the library. They spent a moment trying to decide if it was a thinly veiled commentary meant to suggest that Fin was a dumbass. “They got any of those good banned books there? Always meant to read more of those.” 

“Cousin It? Nice. I would’ve given anything to see that, but I have a feeling you look a little better with dark hair.” Like he had said. She tilted her head slightly, watching him as she tried to imagine him with blonde hair, or the close thing to it that ended up being an orange and yellow mix when dark hair was turned blonde, before shaking her head at him. “Definitely not a good look, I think. –They have some occult books, and that’s about it. Banned books are… well, banned here. What’d you expect from a small town?”

thefeared-lamashtu:

“Touch me and you’ll regret it… immensely.” she hissed out at the woman. Lamashtu didn’t take threats or sarcasm very well. As she spoke, she willed the bush to wilt and die. “Plus, I don’t drink coffee. Too bitter for my taste.”

“Can you calm down, I was joking, geez.” Tamsin rolled her eyes at the woman. This was why she didn’t like talking to strangers. They never understood, and now she had received pretty much a death threat over a damned joke. “I wasn’t inviting you to a coffee.” She sighed, reaching over for the napkins to clean herself off. “Sarcasm is a thing, look it up.”

[tamsfox]

thefeared-lamashtu:

Lamashtu was out exploring the new environment, taking in everything around her. Sure, she was a demon driven by chaotic forces and havoc, but she found it much more fun calculating her strikes before making them. As she wandered Verth Hollow, not only did she take in her surroundings, but also studied it’s residence. Every now and then she would cast a few spells and then feeding from the small doses of chaos created. Lamashtu was incredibly in tune with nature around her- having the urge to drain the life from all things around her. As she grazed by the bushes, they would shrivel and die. 

Hearing a woman cry out, she turned her attention to the scene in front of her. The other seemed incredibly upset at the bush in front of her. Lamashtu wondered if it had offended her in any way. With a playful smile, she made her way over to the woman. “Everything okay over here?” she asked more out of curiosity than concern.

“No, yeah, everything’s fine. Great, even. I absolutely love being drenched in coffee and sugar. Love it.” Sarcasm was heavily laced in her tone as she looked up at the woman. There was no point in glaring at a plant when it was Tamsin who had made the mistake of multitasking while practicing her magic. Not that it would do any good to concentrate anyway. “Would you like to try it as well?”

josiexmarella:

She didn’t mean to be staring but when her phone had failed to entertain her, she had resorted to people watching. First her eyes found a young couple having a whispered fight over coffee, than she saw an old man ogling a woman who passed him than at the corner of her eye, she swore she saw a plant move unnaturally. She glanced over, expecting it just to be wind but than she saw a woman concentrating unusually hard on a rose bush and the resulting accident happening. 

Josie blinked her eyes than realized the woman must be a witch…or a fairy. Though the second one was less likely, considering she had never heard of real fairies before. She stood up, grabbed her bag and a a few napkins and walked over. 

“Here.” She handed the napkins as the woman frantically searched. Than Josie sat down. “Was that magic?” She asked, interested. She always had a fascination with witches when she learned of the other creatures in the world. They were so interesting and it was not very often she meets one.

“Magic, what?” Tamsin was quick to compose herself, though if she was honest, lying wasn’t her strongest suit. She let out a nervous laugh, shaking her head as she took the napkins from the woman. How was she supposed to lie about this when she’d been blatantly practicing her magic in public? Her mother would kill her if she found out, or perhaps not, mostly not, but she’d still be in trouble for it. “No, that wasn’t magic, I’m just….” She trailed off, cleaning the beverage from her face. “I’m just clumsy.”

fin-murphy:

“Are you saying that I’m strange and unusual? You wanna be the pot or the kettle, Wednesday Adams?” Fin questioned when they heard someone respond to their complaint. “Lots of folks feeling the need to remind me this isn’t LA,” Finley mused. 

“As much as I appreciate the comparison, I prefer Lydia Deetz, if I’m honest and I think the kettle sounds nicer. You can be the pot.” Tamsin joked, mostly. She wasn’t very good at making those, but it wasn’t like she actually cared much. “Everyone knows LA’s the place to go, but since we’re stuck here. You could always go to the library, there’s not much entertaining there… most good things you have to order and everything else is small town things. Gotta love it.”

“And it affects you, how?” Brows arched, her arms crossing across her chest as Ophelia shifted her weight from one foot to the other. As much as she attempted to minimise public interactions in fear of what her uncontrollable rage could do, she would never walk away from confrontation. It usually brightened her day. “Do tell why I’m not supposed to react with disgust when a strange child with dirty hands ruin my very expensive dress and then have the nerve to ask for candy.”

“It doesn’t have to affect me for me to notice you’re being absolutely hypocritical.” She pointed out, her arms crossed over her chest as she took a step back. The last thing she wanted to do when she woke up that morning was have an argument with some stranger. A stranger, she may point out, that cared too much about a dress that wasn’t even that pretty. “That dress was a waste of money then, considering…” She trailed off, giving a slight shrug.

“Calculating your age was hardly my concern,” Ophelia replied with a feigned smile as stiff as her posture. Her eyes followed the other’s movements and wondered briefly why an adult would carry around a lollipop but the thought didn’t linger long. She didn’t care enough. “Bitter? I was just a concerned citizen —  ‘don’t take candy from strangers’ came to mind but I suppose not everyone was taught that lesson.”

“Clearly,” Tamsin shot back, though it was not her intention to sound like she wanted to start something. If she was honest, it did bother her a bit how people treated children just because they didn’t like them. Shit, it was not their fault someone else had grown up to be unhappy and taking it out on a child was really the lowest anyone could go. “Please, the last thing you were was concerned. Disgusted looked and sounded more like it.”

Max couldn’t help but let out a small chuckle, it was funny how the other talked to the plant when really had no fault in what’d happened. “ I don’t think you’ll get an answer like that… Or an answer period, plants don’t talk. Personally I think you should just concentrate. Even the smallest distractions can affect the way things happen. ” Her voiced lowered as she spoke, realizing she was not making much of a point. “ I’m just stating the obvious now. ”

Tamsin let her gaze trail over to the other woman, a laugh escaping her despite herself. “I don’t want an answer, but it would’ve been nice not to be drenched by a frappuccino, to be quite honest.” She sighed, looking down at herself. Of course she’d gone and ruined the one shirt she loved. “Focusing doesn’t really help.” Nothing helped, if she was honest.
