San watched curiously until the sandwich was finished being built.  She picked up a small sandwich triangle and had to admit that it looked nice to eat. It was even a little cute and she teetered it back and forth in her hand. When she took the bite, San essentially enveloped half of the little sandwich, finishing it in roughly three bites.

“It’s good,” she stated, her mouth still a little full. She finished swallowing before pushing the plate back to Donald. “You can have some too…since you made it.”

Donald smirked as she wolfed down the sandwich like an animal, honestly surprised and a little impressed she didn’t waste any time attempting to ‘eat like a lady’ and ‘take human bites.’ It was fairly uncommon for girls to eat like her, but it was refreshing. “Told you.” he said, smirking. “Thanks. Want me to make another one, or you want to try your hand at it?”

A Day in the Life (flashback) || Cain & Ellis

[the-original-angry-bird]

blastoff-buster:

Cain was ready to yell at the man again or hit him or do something (he hadn’t thought that far ahead) when Ellis spoke up to stop him. For some reason, it bothered him that she knew the other man’s name, not because he was jealous but because…well, yes, her was just jealous. He looked at Ellis and how calm she was, intent on stopping however far could’ve taken this. Then Cain glanced around at the rest of the establishment, some who gawked in astonishment, which made Cain a little proud, and others who were disgusted at his brutishness, which only fueled his anger a bit more. Either way, he couldn’t keep pulling crap like this or Ellis could lose her job over it.

“Fine.” Cain made the mistake of looking back at the man, who had smirked in relief at Cain’s resignation. Needing to prove this wasn’t a peaceful resolve, Cain kicked over the man in his chair as a note of finality. However, seeing Abe hit the floor only spurned Cain to follow after him. On his hands and knees, he grabbed the man by the collar and punched him a few times, forgetting his earlier statement and practically everything else except the task at hand which was making sure this man couldn’t ever say anything to embarrass him and Ellis ever again. Ellis. Remembering her and the fact this was her place of work made him stop immediately and sit back on his heels. He wiped off his hands on his pants before standing up to face her but not meeting her eyes. “I’m, uh… I should go home.”

Ellis gasped when the fight started back up, feeling her whole body freeze. She should have intervened, but something deep inside told her to not. When Cain stopped on his own, she felt her heart finally catch up to her panic and beat a million miles a minute. It felt like she wanted to run, but she didn’t. Instead, she shook her head and looked to his table, “How about we sit Abe somewhere else and fix him up, and you finish your food. I’ll be off in an hour or two. It’s a short shift.”

“Then you must be blind,” she snapped back.

Mertle smirked as Donald moved the cookie closer, but she was no longer interested.  A tiny piece was more than enough for her.  “No, I’m good.  I’ll just stick with my drink, thanks,” she smiled sweetly at the boy before taking another sip.  “Now, tell me where I’m escorting you to.”

“Alright” Donald said, taking another huge chunk from the cookie, continuing to leave her some for now. Maybe she would change her mind and was just turning it down to be polite. “Ah, well... you know where McDougal manor is? That’s where I need to go. Ugh... I can try to remember the cross streets, if you want, but it’s pretty big. Kinda hoping someone would know.”

San tried to stuff her irritation into a box in her chest as she looked back at the paper. As the grays faded and greens and browns emerged, San’s mouth parted slightly. She almost smiled as the dog appeared, blurry but owner-less still. “And it’s mine?”

Donald eyed the picture, impressed since it was her first time using the camera, “Yeah, the picture is if you want it. You can also give it away if you’d like too. Up to you.”

Ken’s summer was anything but how he planned it to go. He was a peaceful fellow, so having the rescue Holley at the beginning of summer really threw him off. He was still trying to get the bloodstains out of the tile in his shop… “You wouldn’t believe me even if I told you, Donald. Also, since it involves other people aside from myself, I’d have to check with them to see if they want people to know or not.” 

Donald sighed, clearly disappointed that Ken wasn’t going to share. He wanted to ask the older boy who he was worried of even finding out, but maybe it was best to not know. Ken was clearly being a good friend to whomever this was. “Shit. That really took up so much time you haven’t done anything new?”

“Sports? Alright…” Ziggy thought for a moment, he really hoped this kid didn’t only do Quidditch, “What sports do you play? I like boxing a lot, when I was back in the states I did a lot of hunting as well.”

“Hunting? That’s pretty neat. I do fishing, which doesn’t sound as masculine at all, but similar idea.” he said, “I also do sailboat racing. Or did. Sorta been away at Hogwarts too much to participate recently. Uhm... played football in school before coming to Hogwarts, but that was... well obviously a while ago.”

Weird Al sounded familiar but considering how large the music scene was, Nick wasn’t sure who he was. When the song started, the Ravenclaw listened intently and his eyes went wide with how brilliant it was. He loved music, he loved puns, and he loved covers… This man had managed to roll it all into one hilarious bundle. When it finished, Nick had a giant grin on his face, “Holy fuck, I’m thrilled you showed this to me,” He then saw there were videos in the suggested feed, “Have you see that one?” Nick pointed to SEAGULLS! (Stop It Now).

The glow from the other boy’s eyes drew out an even bigger grin from the dark-haired Slytherin. “Yeah, absolutely. The guy has tons of albums and hit singles, so you should definitely check him out.” He said, nodding. When he saw the Seagulls one come up, he frowned in concentration. “hrm... no. Wanna listen, or do you already know it?”

“American pie?” Nick questioned, “By Don McLean? Oh, I love that one. It’s also a great one to play to get people to sing along. Granted, this isn’t exactly America, but it’s still catchy,” He grinned and then looked at the scolla, “I haven’t heard the Star Wars version of it, what’s it called?” Nick also only saw the 4th, 5th, and 6th episodes, but he kept that to himself.

Donald nodded, “Yeah it’s by a guy named Weird Al Yankovick. He does a lot of spoof songs. I’m sure with that musical library you have going on his stuff will be real funny.” Taking his scolla back, donald went through and searched for the weird al video quickly. It wasn’t hard to find, considering the popularity of the artist. “Here. The Saga Begins is what it’s called.”

A Day in the Life (flashback) || Cain & Ellis

[the-original-angry-bird]

blastoff-buster:

Cain wanted to be happy about Ellis holding his hand but he could also tell that she was no longer being playful. She was somber and serious; his face fell in response. “Stop worrying about that,” Cain said in a hushed but forceful voice. He hit the table with his free hand, but quickly pushed back his hair as if to compose himself. “I know what I’m doing and I’ve been doing forever, so just trust me. I’m not going anywhere.” He tried not to get riled up at her but he was a little unhappy that she didn’t think he could handle a larger gig. Or maybe she was just caring and worrying, but Cain still felt she wasn’t trusting in his skill. “And don’t offer your money again, okay? You worked for that. Hard. He squeezed her hand a little tighter but not in a mean way; just to show her that he really meant what he was saying. “It’s not your job to take care of me; I should be-”

Cain noticed Ellis’ eyes flicker over and at the same moment the man beside them spoke up. Cain was not happy at being cut off twice in the same night, but, seeing the embarrassment on Ellis’ face is what sent him over. “Oh, is that what you have? A toothache?” Cain let go of Ellis’ hand and pushed his chair back as he stood up. He walked slowly over to the sitting man, feigning calmness. “Where’s it hurt, huh? Here?” Cain grabbed the man by the hair and slammed his face into the table. The room slowly fell quietly at the sound of the thud.“H-Hey,! Stop , I-I-I’m so-” Cain hit him into the table again. “Not good to be cut off, huh? What, you couldn’t hear we were having a goddamn conversation?!”

If only she could tell him. Let him know why she was so worried. Why the universe conspired seemingly against them both. Getting him out of harms way and away from a world where he needs to know how to kill would perhaps save them both. But, of course, Ellis couldn’t let him know. It would take too much explanation and too much fear that he would simply call her crazy and end it. 

She held his hand tightly as he gripped hers, staring into his eyes. Before Cain could even finish, they were stopped and Ellis knew exactly where this night was headed. As soon as Cain stood she began to stand as well, but as the man’s head hit the table all delay in her movements was gone. She was over to them just as the second blow hit and her hands reached out for Cain’s arm, “He’s got it! Lesson learned, right Abe?” she asked, eyeing the man with blood down his face, “Cain, he’s just a drunk fool. Let him go.” 

Ellis didn’t dare turn around and inspect the rest of the room, knowing full well the cook was going to be glowering through the window and that the other patrons were all watching with wide-eyed interest. Cain going off was like a wreck that everyone wanted to watch, but nobody wanted to be the recipient of the gruesome consequences.

toughestalleycat:

Toulouse let out the beginnings of a laugh until it accidentally grew unsure towards the end. There it was, the million dollar question. Toulouse had been preparing for one of his roommates to ask this since their fifth year began, so it didn’t come in the panic he had once been anticipating. “Well, I’ve never been the biggest fan of rules. Surprising, yeah? But if there’s a rule I’m going to break it. Really stick it to the man,” Toulouse said, joking around but realizing it might have seemed kind of forced. He kind of regretted it afterwards. Everything he could have said and he decides on that. 

“But no, I usually just dick around. Go to the kitchen, other places I shouldn’t be. Feel free to join me, it’s a hell of a time,” he added, unsure of how he was making the situation. He had been aiming for casual, but maybe he went overboard. Although there was no evidence on his face, he was cursing himself over in his mind.

Donald froze and as he lowered the camera offered the most confused expression. Maybe it didn’t help Toulouse in his lie, but the other Slytherin didn’t realize what the miscommunication was until he was offered a chance to join and the kitchens were brought up. “Uhm... sure, I guess I could... But I meant from home. ” he said, deflating the whole grand lie in one swoop. “Which... well I couldn’t join you then considering I don’t live in London. Or... anywhere near. Can still offer you a crash place, if... y’know... you can manage magical transport. Kinda far by usual methods.”

Nick was highly curious what the other boy was showing him and leaned in to see what it was. When the animation started up, he had no clue what it was from, but he loved it. “Oh man, I guess you really were hitting those notes right then,” He couldn’t help but laugh as it continued to play. “What is this by the way?”

Donald nodded, proudly, letting Nick finish out the song as they talked. “The video is some sort of spoof edit someone did for the song. The actual animation is from a cartoon called HeMan and the Masters of the Universe... which I guess they thought was super gay so the made this.” He said, as if that explained much of anything. “Honestly, I guessed the song was from something else, but I never tracked it down. This is the one I know. It’s sorta like... you know that American Pie song? Another singer did a spoof version of it using Star Wars lyrics and now whenever American Pie starts up I can only think of the Star Wars version.”

CHARACTER MOODBOARD - THE DEADPAN SNARKER !

the deadpan snarker exists to deflate pomposity, point out the unlikelihood of certain plans, and deliver funny lines. in most cases, it is implied that the snarker would make a good leader, strategist, or consultant given their ability to instantly see the flaws in a constructed plan. more often than not, their innate snarkiness is the only thing preventing the other characters from comprehending this for themselves.

Considering the song was still playing in his ears, he returned the strange look Donald gave him. “Are you sure, her voice is actually pretty low in some spots.” Nick then proceeded to take his headphones out so the music would play through the speakers. “See?”

“Her?” Donald said, knowing that the voice was fairly high in the song, but likely sung by a guy. When the earbuds were handed over he leaned in close and listened in. It was like a completely different song! “Oh my god... wait a minute.” he said, handing Nick the earbuds back and immediately pulling out his scolla. 

It didn’t take long for him to find the video of He-Man singing the same song, and right before he hit play he made a motion for the headphone jack. “This is the one I know. Has a video too.”

A Day in the Life (flashback) || Cain & Ellis

[the-original-angry-bird]

blastoff-buster:

At Ellis’ response, Cain rolled his eyes but returned the subtle grin. There were many things that kept the two of them together, but one of Cain’s favorite was that she could use her wit to push Cain’s buttons in the most intriguing ways. She could dish and deal with the best of them, but she could never be categorized as cruel like her counterpart. “Oh, no, I thought about it. But all the fancy girls were booked that day.”

The music playing in the establishment got a little louder, some sort of jazz tune that Cain didn’t particularly like. He pulled out his last cigarette from his shirt pocket and lit it. “This is why I need to get a job. No more cigarettes.” Cain took a long draw, careful not to blow the smoke in Ellis’ direction, before adding, “I could do a big one, you know, mafia or something, and we’d be set. No more working after that.” He knew that was only half-true for him He could quit the factory but Cain would need some sort of alternative method to channel his rage. At least, this way he got paid for hurting people. 

“Ah well.” Ellis said, shrugging and fixing her hair, “I suppose I can whip something up. Maybe be a suitable substitute.” She eyed his smile loving every bit of it. He did have a temper, but Cain also had his sweet side. It was rare, but it showed. If only that side could be seen more, how different things might be. Each moment she got him to smile was one less he spent angry and fighting. 

Of course, they returned to talking about work, and Ellis’s smile became a bit forced. She knew Cain was skilled at his ‘jobs’ and that giving him some sort of release for his rage was good, but all the same she worried about him. Maybe it was feeding things instead of releasing them, or what would happen when things finally decided to go wrong? When his luck or intimidation ran out and someone finally decided to hurt him?

Ellis looked about the place, taking a brief moment to sit down across from him and reaching out for his hand. “Cain... If you need some money I...I have some saved and my rent’s all paid up if you need somewhere to stay. I just don’t want you hurt. Those sort of things could go wrong, and if they do or you make the wrong sort of enemies... I’m afraid of you not coming back.” Ellis bit her lip, “I’m already worried you won’t, but something like the mafia? That sounds big-time.” Of course, nothing she said would change his mind. This was Cain. She knew he would do whatever he wanted anyway, and that’s how it had always been. His rage was likely even boiling up at being told ‘no’ or that it wasn’t a good idea. Ellis’ eyes looked down and she drew out a shy grin, “But... It is up to you. I can’t talk you out of it if you’re already thinking of it, but I can ask you to be careful.”

Sadly, her attempt at keeping his temper even was all for naught as one of the new patrons of the establishment seemed to be eyeing them over with curiosity. Even she noticed him snooping in, and as his mouth opened, Ellis knew it was over. “Oh get a room you two. You’re sappy little story is giving me a toothache.” She wished she could have turned invisible right then and there, or made him become invisible through sheer will.

=“Ah yes, the dreaded issue of money.” What else could she say? Jenny had never had to worry about things being more expensive, but she hated rubbing that in people’s faces, so she just tried not to talk about it. “Definitely an excellent choice, I love polaroids. Much as I hate to admit it though, I don’t own one of my own.”

The longer they stood there, both feeling awkward but oddly sociable, the more Jenny found herself relaxing. Sure, she wasn’t up for spending hours talking to anyone, let alone a complete stranger, but it was a step in the right direction. “Sounds great, I look forward to seeing it! I’ll be sure to check out some of your other stuff while I wait too, something tells me you’ve got a pretty decent eye.”

“You should get one! It takes some digging to find them either online or in a thrift shop, and then probably more time fixing them up, but... You should get one.” 

“Thanks. Hope you like it.” he said, grinning, “I’ll check yours as well. Look out for those polaroid uploads.”

“I mean, it’s certainly unique,” Rose spoke as she scrolled through his SW, her brows lifting as she looked over all the photos he’d taken. “Wow, these… they’re really good. Well, the selfies could use a bit of work, but the rest are just- Why the bloody hell aren’t you on the yearbook committee?”

Donald laughed, “Yeah, I suppose so. I mean her job was to make it something people wouldn’t forget.” He felt strange letting her scroll through his stuff, but that was exactly the point of putting it online and it wasn’t as if nobody else was scrolling through like this. Just that none had done it in front of him and judged it. “Thanks?” He said, thinking on what selfies he had. The truth was... none that he could name. Instead he just laughed, “ah yes. The ‘my face is like a blade of grass’ selfie. Classic technique.”

Just as soon as he was done feeling worried about his photos, she said another strange thing that caused a puzzled look, “Yearbook? We have one of those?”

Camping || Tim, Ziggy, Donald

“I don’t get weird about brooms.”  Tim quickly snapped with a roll of his eyes.  “Besides you are the one that gets weird about them Ziggy.”  No matter how obvious Tim’s hatred towards heights was, he wasn’t going to simply admit that he may have a fear of them.

“Well you two are the camping pros so I have no say in this.”  Tim answered with a shrug.  He didn’t know much about camping and didn’t want to sound like a complete idiot.

Ziggy gave Tim a look when the boy got defensive and rolled his eyes too. Tim definitely was weird around brooms. Ziggy chose not to comment on it, and looked back at Donald, “We should probably set up camp first, or at least find a spot that’s level, under the trees, but close to the lake,”

@the-original-angry-bird​

Donald gave them both an odd look at the little tiff going on with brooms. “Well... good thing nobody brought those home-wrecking brooms, huh?” He said, giving them both an odd look as Ziggy decided to take some control of things. Setting up camp. Right. The dark-haired Slytherin quickly turned and surveyed the area, “hrm... ugh... how about right over there?” Donald said, gesturing to one patch and already beginning to pick up his things. Unlike the others his stuff was not neatly packed into an extension charm set of bags.
