“oh, please, i wouldn’t say all that. but please by all means continue.”

“oh come on, nico. you know you’re the most badass out of all of us in the chain gang.”

xiolobo:

“If I had to name names, it was probably the generation after me so you are all in the clear.”

“wow, they must have been pretty terrible. because we have vanessa and the plastics and i think she’s terrible enough for almost all generations.”

nicolettetf:

“ as much as i don’t care for your opinion any other time, i really need to know this one. does my hair look okay? “

“one word: badass. you’re putting the rest of us to shame nico.”

xiolobo:

“Oh, it has. Very few, but it has had a couple of days of peace. Your generation is far from the worst.”

“yeah? then who’s the worst?”

[taniluca-blog]

xiolobo:

“Another day, another round of what sort of chaos happens here.”

“has hexlore had a calm day in its entire existence? or is this another moment where someone tells me our generation is the worst.”

“Okay Mom, I promise I’m fine. I just need you to send me my Givenchy beaded lace gown.” Regine said, smiling as she listened to her mother. She pushed her long hair back off her should, running her hand over her curves in the black dress she had on. She spent a few more seconds reassuring her mother, who she knew was on break from the movie she was shooting. Once she assured her enough to finally get her to hang up. She felt someone looking at her, the entire time before she turned to confront them. “Can I help you with something or is just how good I look from behind?”

Yes, Tani had been staring. She had a playful smirk on her face and was frankly just enjoying the view. How could she not? A hot girl in a tight, black dress. What was there not to like? She wasn’t even listening to the conversation in hand, just wondering how she hadn’t seen the girl around Hexlore before. “It’s a very lovely dress with an even more beautiful girl in it. How could I not stop in stare?”

finluca:

    “My courting barbecue? The sexual juices?” Fin teased, she wouldn’t dare say any of those names in front of any one else besides Tani. She thought them, of course, and had to hold her tongue from spilling out her strange terminology. “Nope. Can’t tell you that. I am spending time with her on Wednesday so we’ll see how that goes. How well my romping woo techniques work.” Fin smiled, pushing away all thoughts of how Eliza was sure to be in love with Tani. She didn’t know for sure, and that was the only thing keeping her from falling apart. “Hey! It moved its branches for me so I think I won it over. And no it was not just the wind, Tani. It was me.”

Tani groaned again. Why did Fin always have to do this to her? She was almost starting not to miss her. “No, no, no, no. Stop.” She dug her fingers into her face. She didn’t think it was possible to cringe more — yet here she was. “On Wednesday, huh? So then I’ll meet the mystery girl?” she asked before having to groan one last time. “Please never, I am starting to miss seduction sauce. God, I never thought I’d say that.”

nicolettetf:

Nico tilted her head, raising a brow. “C’mon now. Tell Nico what happened.”, she moved towards her, wrapping one arm around her. She took the cigarette back from her, puffing quietly. She blew the white fog from her mouth before looking over to Tani. “How could someone use the Kardashians to explain behavior? Unless you’re explaining how to literally get famous for no apparent reason..”, she reasoned, chewing her lip. “Want to give me more details than just that?”, she asked, taking another puff.

She took one last puff, sighed and handed the cig back to Nico. She watched the smoke float up into the sky and turned back to Nico. “Something about how they’re the future. How at the end of the day they’re all of us.” She sighed again and rolled her eyes. “Like hell I’m going to let the world waste away and become...them. Sure, we’re all much more self-indulgent and materialistic than our forefathers, but I like to think that most of us maintain a level of intelligence above the Kardashians.”

elizaolscn:

Eliza lit up, Tani’s cold responses over text didn’t leave her hopeful but having her here now–in front of her and not running away–Eliza was the happiest that she’d ever been. “Yes,” she pulled the disguise off her face, “they do call me a master of disguise. They being myself as I look into a mirror and pretend its someone else complimenting me.” She smiled, “I wanted to ask you if you’d like to get ice cream with me. There’s an ice cream truck parked on campus right now and it’s better to get there before everyone in the arts building sees it and realizes ice cream is infinitely better than some lecture on the social impact of Brontë…actually that sounds kind of interesting; but not as good as ice cream so…ice cream? I’ll pay?”  

There was something about being near the seraph again that made the shell of a hellcat feel like — for once in a long while — there was something worth fighting for. Something worth breaking down her walls and trying again. It was stupid. Absolutely idiotic. Every time her gaze faltered she tried to convince herself she didn’t need this, she didn’t need her, but she did. 

She foolishly took a step closer to the seraph and chuckled. “I don’t know,” she teased. “Does the Master of Disguise have time for ice cream? Seems like your schedule’s pretty busy.”

Angel de Lamuerte, Aisha, Jezebel

Angel de Lamuerte - If your muse could change their past and start again, what would they do differently?

So many things. Not tell their best friend what they are. Fight back when her friend tried to kill Fin.

Aisha - What would the perfect match for your muse look/act/sound like?

Eliza. Someone who is good and is able to see the good in her when she can’t. 

Jezebel - Who is your muse’s favorite Disney princess?

None of them. “Why does everyone insist that girl must like Disney princesses?”

“I appreciate the comradery. I could always use more pals. As for after the fight, I kinda just left once that cooled down and I found Willa’s cat from her hiding spot. I really didn’t feel like lingering around after making sure things were done and quiet and after I got hugged by her. Dawn didn’t look too happy with that.”

She kept her pace and placed her hands in her jacket pockets for a while. Her mind wandered back to that night. The hug had been her reward but she had seen the jealousy from Dawn when she got it. Riley figured it had been best if she jetted out and she felt the decision had been the right one.

“Perfect booth to me. Far out of sight to be bothered.”

@laylarussell·

Layla had kind of left the party early after she saw Ava and Vanessa together, and considering she hadn’t heard gossip about it, this was news to her. “Wait… Dawn and Vanessa fought? What this time? From what I’m understanding Vanessa messed with the cat?” And that meant Riley liked Willa. But Willa was with Dawn… Which left Riley… Oh. That really sucked. “It was really nice of you to find the cat though.”

When Tani pointed out the booth, Layla nodded. That one seemed good enough. It was unlikely anyone from Hexlore would see them. And that was what she wanted right about now. “Sounds good to me.” And she walked over to the booth and sat down.

@taniluca·

Tani leaned closer with a smirk on her face as Riley as spoke. She knew she had read those pining looks right. Riley liked Willa. Now it was confirmed and as Riley finished speaking, Tani nudged her playfully. “So you do like Princess Flower Crown, huh?” Her smirk grew. “Must have been some hug.”

She was teasing, but only because she knew what it felt like to have it bad — the slightest of touches feeling like the warmest of embraces. 

She slid into the booth, taking a seat closest to the corner. She didn’t want some gross dude or really anyone at all getting the idea that she wanted to talk to anyone else. She sprawled out, put her hands behind her head and crossed one leg over the other.

shirxn:

when she became a professor, shirin had been told that maintaining good relationships with the students was crucial. most of the time she deliberately ignored that piece of advice – she was there to teach, not to coddle and be lenient when it wasn’t needed. there were exceptions, of course. some students who were somehow captivating or simply familiar managed to become her favorites. vitani luca was a good example of this. a fellow hellcat with similar characteristics, of course she became one of her few favorites.

that’s exactly the reason why her temper didn’t flare up when she bolted to her office. tani was a welcomed presence there, especially when it seemed like the student had some issues powering her. “calm down, miss luca.” her tone lacked emotion, but it didn’t mean she cared any less. she was always willing to help her favorites.

“think rationally. yes, you strongly believe that your sister is dead, but are you absolutely certain of that? is there any chance that she might indeed be alive?” shirin didn’t look very shaken because of tani’s distraught, and in truth she wasn’t. that made helping her easier – a different point of view always helped.

tani slumped down in a chair once her rant was done. her heart was still racing, but now she was out of words. finley — alive. the words rung through her head, swirling around, echoing through every fiber of her being until the words took a physical form in her mind. 

finley. long brown, chocolatey hair, more well-kept than her own. that playful smirk. those bright eyes filled with hope and those slight dimples — the only two things that allowed other family members to tell them apart. 

finley alive.

she saw it all again — the knock at the door, the bottle of champagne, the devious smirk, that voice that made her heart sink and then those arms engulfing her. she was alive, wasn’t she?

tani turned back to shirin, finally taking in her words. “no. i guess.” she swallowed hard. “i- i really thought i had...” she swallowed again. “..watch her die...”

“Yes, alcohol is the important factor. being able to toss drinks back and forgetting troubles is perfect.”

The one a few blocks she figured wouldn’t be too bad a place. Riley had gone a few times before to have a drink or two after finishing classwork. Of course, after the dance had happened she also sort of drowned around there with a lot of drinks not that she was to proud of that fact.

“The stuff there isn’t too bad. I kinda hit it a bit hard after the dance happened.” She figured she may as well fess up to it. “A hellcat, werewolf and poltergeist walk into a bar. All just wanting the strongest alcohol they could muster.”

@laylarussell·

Layla nodded. “It’s probably best we walk and the closer the walk, the better. And the alcohol is the important part.” She hoped that it would help her forget for at least a little bit. Today had been a rough day to have feelings for someone who probably didn’t care about her in the slightest. 

She glanced over at Riley. She had probably been a bit too oblivious about her friends during the dance. “Yeah? Y’know… next time you need a drink… besides tonight… we’re friends. And totally need to drink off girl related stuff every so often. Call us next time.” At the slight joke, she snorted. “What a punchline to that. But not exactly wrong.” 

They had approached the entrance of the bar, sighing softly. She hadn’t gotten off her ass drunk in a really long time, but now was as good a time as any. “And here we are.”

@taniluca·

At Riley’s joke, Tani let out a weak laugh. Riley could do better, but she wasn’t wrong and well, at least someone was trying to keep the mood light. She shoved her hands into her pockets as they walked, taking in the fresh air. That was supposed to help, right? Fresh air? She took another breath and looked over at Riley. “After the crazy fight with Vanessa and Dawn? What happened?”

She knew they weren’t at the bar yet, but why not start now? They were probably all going to fess up later anyway. Instead, it seemed that Layla came in for the save. “Yeah, trust me, I think we could all use it. We’re the Three Musketeers now, right? We gotta look out for one another.”

Her words fall flat as they entered the bar. Alcohol, right, that was the most important thing. She whipped out her I.D. and pointed out an empty booth in the back. “That look good?”

“Yeah, it’s cool.” Upon hearing the extra information however, she blinked before nodding. She understood that and would keep the jokes to herself if any were to be made. After all, she wouldn’t want anyone jabbing her in the same situation. “Got it and no worries. None will be made.”

Riley made sure her wallet was in her front right pocket before she slipped on her leather jacket and adjusted her hair a bit with a free hand. It wouldn’t take them long to meet up with Layla.

“Guess we’re the Three Musketeers for tonight, yeah?”

@laylarussell·

When her friends arrived at her door, she was relieved to say the least. She really didn’t want to be alone and going out with people who had a similar situation to her would hopefully make her feel a bit better. She knew about Tani’s situation, but not much about Riley’s love life. It just hadn’t really come up. “I’m glad to be Musketeer number three. What bar are we headed to?”

@taniluca·

Tani saw Riley blink and was sure at least one joke might escape. Riley was known for her jokes and pranks, so it was almost a shock to have her not at least get it out of her system before seeing Layla, but maybe it was just a pleasant surprise. “Thanks.”

She tapped her pockets to make sure she still had her wallet and keys — tap, tap — Good, still both there. She turned back to Riley, nodded and the two headed out. 

It was a short walk to Delta Zeta. All the houses were just down one big windy rode she knew all too well, so it felt like no time had passed when they arrived at the house. 

"I don’t know. I think just the one a few blocks off campus? The important thing is alcohol, right?”

@hawkinsgeist​

[taniluca-blog]

After a much needed laugh at the image of Riley making Queen Mean fall on her ass, Tani pulled out her phone one last time and spotted a text from Layla. 

‘is it selfish for me to ask you to take me to a bar so i can drink it out and maybe cry on you a bit?’

Tani looked at her phone, sent a series of texts back, then looked back at Riley. “Is it cool if Layla joins us for drinks? She’s having a tough night thanks to Queen Mean and uh —” She stopped for a moment to lean in close and speak softly with the other. “Fair warning: Layla kinda has a thing for Queen Mean, but please don’t tease her about it right now. She’s already giving herself enough crap and let’s be real, Vanessa probably is, too.”

@hawkinsgeist is next, then @laylarussell
