It had been a beautiful day when Lizzie had headed out to the beach. She loved her family, but sometimes it was nice to... not be around them. Least for a few hours, just so she could read. Probably should be reading something more academic, but then she had always enjoyed novels. Much easier to get lost in a story than it was to get lost in a textbook.

Though evidently she hadn't been the only one who had wanted to enjoy the weather, as she felt a shadow over her. "It's a lovely day isn't it?" she asked, deciding to try and hold back on being rude until she had cause. Although, it did feel like interrupting her was cause.

there was something so wonderful about being out here on the water. ever since it had gotten nice in ivy cove, tsireya found herself at the beach and in the water all afternoon if she was not in class. and it helped that this time she was on her own. she had no little sister to chase after, to keep occupied right now even if she did miss seeing the water through the babys eyes, it felt nice to simply be there, feel as if she was at home for even a moment... but arguably, that came with her loosing her attention far more than she wanted to admit. "i'm so sorry!" tsireya instantly said side stepping out of the womans sun. "it is such a beautiful day, i can completely loose my focus on the beach."

"I am not one to brag....well much, but look at this. Isn't this the most beautiful you've ever seen." Tessa chuckled, giving a soft smile. "I managed to get all of my work done for the week and now I get to coast for the last few days till the weekend. My boss is gonna be so happy."

"as someone who is... 2 assignments behind on her summer course, i'm afraid that i might hate you." missy says instantly, though there is a hint of teasing in her voice. she knew it was entirely her fault tha she had to even take this summer course, but it didn't make it any better. "like, insanely jealous of you. how did you do it?"

steve had barely been paying attention, one hand wrapped loosely around a cup, the other digging in his pocket for change when someone bumped into him. "whoa. hey, watch it-" the words had come out automatically, edged with mild annoyance, until he looked up. and froze. for a second, he didn't move. just stared. "el?" his eyes searched her face quickly, almost frantically, like he was trying to prove to himself she was actually there. "you-" he stopped, jaw tightening, a thousand things clearly hitting him all at once. "we thought you were-" dead. he couldn't finish it. steve took a small step closer without really thinking, his voice dropping. "where the hell have you been?"@tclerateiit

[tclerateiit]

that seemed to be the reaction she had been getting for a while now. and she had to have known it was coming. if this world brought her to this strange place, then surely it would bring the others. "i know... i know you did." that had been the plan. she needed to escape or else they would have never stopped searching for her. they would eventually have used her, used her blood, made more children just like her, henry, kali... and she couldn't do that to more children. "i went to the place with three waterfalls." she spoke softly, her eyes barely able to meet steves. "it was mine and kali's plan. we knew they were probably going to be waiting for us, and they weren't going to let me walk away."

"now i don't know about that," lip said, as he pressed the button to start the ride once again. "i went through a very hard, hour of training for this. takes an expert. i dunno if you have what it takes," he teased. "but yeah sure, whatever. that does sound shit. i get off in half an hour anyway, actually." @tclerateiit

[tclerateiit]

judith instantly huffs, rolling her eyes with a small pout, but it's clearly all playful, and clearly done out of pure boedom. "oh, i'm sure. a whole hour of training to press a button i say you strand those two twelve year olds up at the top." she comments, as she watches the ferris wheel spin. "wanna go grab some dinner or something after this?"

[wastelcndbby]

ben gave a small smile at that. it made him feel a little better to know he wasn’t the only loser. “i don’t know, she was running pretty well before i hit it. what’s that saying from here? oldie but goodie?” he asked, grabbing tools from his set. “i get that. i’m sure she doesn’t mind helping, but i get not wanting to ask.” he shrugged, in not position to question or judge the other. "are there any other problems with it? i'd be happy to fix it, call it emotional compensation. we can't have your sister coming through all worried and offering to pay for damages later down the road, right?" he teased lightly.

[tclerateiit]

"oldie but goodie, rust bucket." hope says with her own laugh resting her back on the work bench as she watched ben work. she did love this car, the first thing she ever bought on her own after moving out of her childhood home. the one thing that did not carry Val's influence. "oh, she would love nothing more than to help just to make a point i can't do this on my own." she didn't know if her and val would ever fix the relationship they had before val went crazy for power. "i think the last guy said that the water pump was bad, it gets overheated about 3 times a week." and she loved seth, she did, but she was not letting that hyperactive man anywhere near her car.

"i'm always trying to run from what i'm known for" from elphaba

lucy gray could understand that. she had always been running away from the person she had been in the arena. the girl who had charmed the snakes that had killed the rest of her competitors. the girl who sang in the arena... all the things that everyone had called her. but it was never what lucy gray wanted to be. "i can understand... it becomes exhausting after a while. chasing a title you never wanted."

"well i aint going anywhere." judith had lost a lot. they both had. but he knew she felt abandoned. whether she admitted it or not. and daryl didn't want her to ever feel that way about him. not ever. "i'll help you remember. besides, all you need to remember is how they made you feel. they both loved you so much, judith." @tclerateiit

[tclerateiit]

"i'm afraid your stuck with me." judith says instantly bbumping his shoulder again, as if she was attempting to play off what she was feeling. she was near certain it didn't match her eyes the way she wanted it to. "i don't remember that. carl did to that zombie, my dad died on that bridge when i was too young, and that's fine. it's the spoils of the world we live in, but it doesn't mean it doesn't hurt. that's why i want to make sure rj never has to forget me."

sam shook his head almost immediately, like he couldn't let that sit. couldn't let her take that weight off him. "jess…" his voice came out rough, breaking at the edges. he ran a hand through his hair, pacing once like he needed to burn off the panic rising in his chest before stopping in front of her again. "no, you can't just... just explain it away like that. like you understand." his eyes were glassy, fixed on her like if he looked away she'd be gone again. like the ceiling, the fire, all of it would come rushing back. "i left," he said quietly, the words heavy, deliberate. "i knew something was wrong. i knew it, and i walked out anyway. when i promised myself i'd never go back." he swallowed hard, jaw tightening as he tried to keep himself together, and failed, just a little. "if i'd stayed, let dean deal with it on his own..." the thought cut off, too sharp to finish. could he have even saved her? yellow eyes had it planned all from the beginning. his gaze dropped for a second before snapping back to her, desperate, searching her face like he was trying to memorize every detail. oh, how he had missed her. he always thought about her. how could he forget the only woman he ever loved? @tclerateiit

[tclerateiit]

"i don't understand, i know i don't understand." that thing that was brady... well, that's just it. it wasn't brady. the yellow eyes, the stink of rotton eggs before the pain. she couldn't understand it. "if you stayed, we could have both died." jess didn't know if that was true at all. it could have been wrong, maybe it was always supposed to just be her, but thinking of something happening to sam. "i don't blame you, sam winchester." she offers her hand, as if to show him that she is physically real. that he will not touch her and disappear into smoke. "and you should not blame yourself either." she's been given a second chance here, and yes... she was struggling through it. but maybe with sam it wouldn't be so bad.

yelena eyed the drink like it was a potential threat then looked up at jo with a smirk. "mm. you do look like someone who enjoys sweet things," she said, voice teasing. "you smile too much. that's suspicious." she picked up the glass, swirling the amber liquid slowly before taking a sip. her eyebrows lifted ever so slightly. "not bad," she admitted, the corners of her mouth tugging upward. "strong enough to make me forget i was pretending to be mysterious. sweet enough that i don't hate you for making it." she set the glass down gently, tapping her finger against its rim. "you make good drinks, jo the bartender with superpowers. maybe i let you keep trying to impress me. for research purposes, of course." @tclerateiit

[tclerateiit]

"i've learned to like some sort of everything." she couldn't do her job at selling the best drinks, and selling a lot of drinks, if she was stuck on one type of drink she couldn't do her job. "people are always coming in here to be mysterious, but we know this is the best truth serum." jo instantly teases her hands resting on the bar as she loooks over at the other woman. "research purposes only i'm sure. has nothing to do with someome trying to be as mysterious as you is trying to bury something with alcohol."

hopper was halfway through crossing the street when he heard it. soft. barely there. but he knows that voice. for a second he didn't even turn around. like if he moved too fast, the sound will disappear, just another trick his brain is playing on him. slowly, he looked over his shoulder. and there she was. the world seemed to drop out from under him. for a long moment he just stared, eyes searching her face like he's trying to prove she's real. like if he looks hard enough the illusion will crack. his mouth opened, closes again. the breath he let out was a shaky, almost a laugh, almost a sob. "…el?" he took a step toward her, then stopped himself, afraid that getting closer might make her vanish. "you- " his voice rough, catching in his throat. he swallowed hard. "kid…?" another step, slower this time, like approaching a wild animal he doesn't want to scare away. "i thought you were-" he couldn't even say the word. his eyes glisten but he wiped a hand over his face quickly, trying to get a grip, trying to be the solid one like he's supposed to be. "is it really you?" he knew this town had a way of tricking people. @tclerateiit

[tclerateiit]

she knew it would probably be better to turn and run. then to answer the questions that would eventually spring up in this conversation. she could easily get away quick enough with or without the illusions that kali had cooked up for her. "dad..." the word slips out far easily than it should have. she had only ever openily called him that once, right before she had left him there, the last thing she had ever said to him. "it's... it's me." she repeats, but she's not willing to go into much more detail. maybe, he would just settle for the explanation that ivy cove was just that strange. el didn't know if he would ever forgive her for faking her own death.

continued from x

"have to say, i think i have a habit of befriending all different types of losers." hope teases back, a playful smirk still all over her face, not trying to make the man feel bad. she scoffs after a moment waving her hand in dismiss. "it's a hunk of junk anyways, but whatever it takes to not have to go ask my sister for money." she knew she could have a nice car here, but asking valeria for anything? she wasn't interested.

"i know it does - i tried once remember?" john joked. he had tried to push her away in space. but of course it didn't last. even if they hadn't ended up back on the ground, john was certain he'd have gone crawling back to her. "emori, it's fine," he reassured her, taking her hand. "just bad memories. but we don't need to think about it. we survived. and here, we're great. nothing to be troubled about." @tclerateiit

[tclerateiit]

"and what a waste of all those months in space." emori immediately teases back. the one time they hadn't been actively fighting for their lives and john had decided to push her away. but, she was never going to let that stand. they had gone through too much together. "okay..." even though she doesn't believe john, she's also not going to push it right now. she leans in pressing a kiss to his cheek. "we're great here. i think it's because you don't have any of our friends having you make bad choices."

▸ i tried getting sober, i swear i did better this time. - ajax and ember

"no one can blame you, ajax..." ember barely slept most nights. she barely even could get herself out of bed most days if the nightmares were bad. "we saw things that no one should ever have to see in that world." had done things that people here at ivy cove would never dream of. "i don't expect you to not fall to the bottom of a bottle every once in a while." ember sighs sgain softly, as she finally looks up at the older man. "but if you ever don't want to sink to that point, and want to talk to someone who understand? i'm here."

[tclerateiit]

i love you and i can't fake that for a moment. (Arlo to Cassia)

"you know i would never ask you to fake that..." cassia says gently, her hand coming to cup the mans face in hers. it does feel nicer knowing that she doesn't feel as GUILTY. loving arlo when hyacinthus didn't remember them had been difficult, knowing they were missing such a key part to their lives. but now? "i love you too, and we're officially not going anywhere. all three of us." and they didn't have to think about that awful time in their lives.

@allthatglxtters

[tclerateiit]

▸ where do we go when we die? i wouldn't mind right here. i wouldn't mind at all. (hyacinthus & cassia)

"we don't..." cassia immediately shakes her head. she had been enjoying this new bliss. hyacinthus being alive, with his memories, loving her and arlo again, it had seemed as if everything had settled again. everything had gone back to camp half blood again when they had been happy. "we are not talking about dying. not anymore." she says instantly her hand coming to cup the mans face in front of her and even though she is smiling, it's impossible to not smile around the men she loves, the idea of death after they had escaped it did not sound pleasent. "but if i had to pick a spot to spend eternity with. it would be here with you, with arlo."

▸ we're north of nowhere now. Bianca & Anyone

.｡.:*☆ "It does look like it, doesn't it?" Thalia frowned, checking her phone once more, but of course, the device simply stayed dead. It was just her luck with all those new things in this new city - they never worked when Thalia needed them to. Frowning again, she looked around. Trying to come up with a plan maybe.

"Any idea what we can do now?"

@tclerateiit

[tclerateiit]

bianca sighs softly, her eyes tilting up to the sky. of course, if it wasn't daylight, they would be able to find their way easily. she could read the stars, the moons, trust her goddess to guide her even in the strangest of places, but now. "we could always just..." she pauses for a moment, her eyebrows furrowing together, and setting onto the stump nearby. "retrace our steps, i guess... try and get back to the main trail."

@tclerateiit said: ▸ you're gonna fix it. you're gonna patch it up. Beth March & Anyone

"I-I don't know how, I don't know if I can." Annie shakes her head and takes a step back from where she's standing. "I've made so many mistakes in my past." She curls her hands into fists to stop herself from covering her ears. "I didn't help him, I couldn't...no." Her breathing starts going uneven as she shuts her eyes. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

[tclerateiit]

beth pauses for a moment, her eyes widening. she hadn't been meaning to upset the other woman in the slightest. in fact, beth really tried to not make things harder for people. "you don't need to apologize." the girl immediately says shaking her head. "just one mistake from your past doesn't have to change your life. especially... we have a fresh start here." hell, if she could come back to life? anything was possible.
