mad as i

THEA BRANNAN 21 years of age Alice's daughter "I can't get these memories out of my mind, and some kind of M A D N E S S has started to evolve"

[theasmadness]

Reading wasn’t something Thea did very often, not anymore, anyway. It seemed as though for the past year or so she put most of her focus into either her work or taking care of her dog (or a lil something else wink wink), but it wasn’t until her father gave her the day off from work that she realized she didn’t really have anything else to do. Since she didn’t have Netflix to keep her laying in bed all day, Thea decided it was time to find some hobbies.

Earlier that day she had stopped by the library and picked up a few books that seemed interesting- all of them mysteries, always her favorite genre- and she spent the afternoon sitting against a tree reading with her pup asleep in her lap. That is, she was until someone stopped in front of her. She looked up, “You just gonna stand there blocking my reading light or were you gonna say something?”

belladonnarosentine:

When Bella heard news about an illness that began near the sea and started its way to land, she was immediately worried. It seemed like there were countless theories as to who started it and who it infected. All of it made Bella a worried mess and because of it, she had been hiding out at her shop for days, doing her best to figure out what was going on. 

Because she had a business to run, though, she kept her shop open for its normal hours. Today she was tending to her gardens when she heard the distinct ringing of the door’s bell. Looking up from her work, she merely eyed the person who had entered and meekly said “Hello, what can I help you with today?”

Thea had always seen the flower shop in town and had walked by it many times before, but never before now had she actually set foot inside of it. She was always just too busy to look at flowers, and she never really thought she had anyone special enough to send flowers to. Apparently now she did.

She was almost startled by the small business owner because she was admiring the beautiful flowers all around the shop, but when she finally saw her she approached her with a slightly nervous smile, “Hi, um.. I’ve never really, done this before- buying flowers, I mean, but uh... do you think you can help me put together something to give to my boyfriend for our anniversary?”

quinn-valentine:

Quinn sat on the bench, she was deep in thought. A book on how to care for plants sat on her lap. It would be her first winter without her mother, and she had always been the one to keep their garden in top condition and care for the plants over the winter months. Even before, it took her life she always made sure she and Quinn had enough to keep them going. Something the girl had been struggling with recently. 

“Come on. There’s got to be something in here” she said out loud. 

While on her way to the market to fetch herself some lunch, Thea came across a girl who, if she were in her home world, looked like she were studying for an exam that she wasn’t prepared for, but since they were in Wonderland and adults didn’t attend school as they did back home, she could only guess what she was actually looking for. She paused and looked at the girl, recognizing her after a while, she was the girl she almost yelled at on her way to work for stopping in the middle of the trail. She was about to just walk by her, but she had some time on her hands, and if this girl needed help finding something, maybe Thea could assist her. 

She approached her and looked at the book over the other blonde girl’s shoulder, trying to figure out what she was looking at before asking, “Whatcha looking for?”

pierce-thefierce:

He hadn’t thought it was a big deal that he had just grabbed the flowers when he was in the process of digging through someone’s yard, but by the tone of Thea’s voice, he suspected it was…

“Uhh….. No?”

When she saw the look on his face she knew the answer before he even tried to lie. She dropped her sandwich down onto the desk and held her head in her hands and gave an exasperated sigh, “Why are you like this?”

[theasmadness]

pierce-thefierce:

Pierce walked over to the desk and set down her ‘gifts’, arching a brow at her stupid question in the process.

“Well, let’s see… Did you manage to burn the building down while I was gone?”

In answer to his own rhetorical question, he looked around the room, back to her, and then shrugged. “It definitely was.”

All Thea did in response was roll her eyes as she yanked the bag from him before he could even set it down and began eating her sandwich. She looked at his other attempt at a peace offering, “Your flowers still have roots in them dumbass. What’d you do rob a flower bed?” she asked, joking at first before she stopped eating her sandwich and looked at him wide-eyed, “Did you fucking take these from someone’s yard?”

[theasmadness]

pierce-thefierce:

When Pierce was finally on his way back, the thought did occur to him that it was likely Thea was still going to be pissed at him arrived. So, he added a few sweets from the bakery to his lunch order and pulled some flowers out of someone’s yard in a lazy attempt at sucking up.

Unlocking the office he had left her in, Pierce put on a very clearly forced smile as the door gradually creaked open to reveal him with a paper bag in one outstretched hand and some freshly picked flowers in the other.

After spinning for quite some time, Thea quickly halted herself when she heard the door unlock and tried to keep her glare steady as her dizziness wore off. She saw both the bag and the flowers and was unimpressed, her glare now staring him down to his face, “Was locking me in here really necessary?”

[theasmadness]

pierce-thefierce:

“BLT coming right up. Kk. TTYL. Kisses,” he mocked, grinning ear to ear as he went off to find them some lunch.

Thea slid down until her knees hit the floor, her forehead still pressed up against the door as she heard her boyfriend leave, “God I fucking hate you,” she muttered under her breath as she got up to sit at the desk in the office and attempt to entertain herself for the next half hour, which meant spinning endlessly in the desk chair for a majority of the time.

[theasmadness]

pierce-thefierce:

Pierce was trying so hard to not start laughing when he heard how close and low her voice had suddenly got. 

Leaning down to what he sensed was her height and getting as close to the crack in the door as possible, he softly replied:

“What about a BLT?”

Thea’s sighs finally went from exasperated to defeated. She gave up on trying to get him to let her out. A half hour wasn’t that long anyway. “.... Yes please,” she squeaked out in response to his offer.

[theasmadness]

pierce-thefierce:

He glanced around the room casually, as though nothing unusual were occurring at all. “How about a turkey melt?”

She finally pressed her forehead against the door and sighed heavily, giving up on being loud to try and get him to release her. “I swear to god Pierce if you leave me here for half an hour and come back with a goddamn turkey melt I’m gonna shove it up your ass,” she said at a volume almost low enough to not be heard through the door.

[theasmadness]

pierce-thefierce:

“Yeah, no, I don’t think I’m gonna do that,” he replied as he looked toward the ceiling and thought about what he might get for lunch. “I’m thinking of getting a sub. Do you want anything?”

“I want you to let me OUT!” she shouted with one more bang of her fist against the door, “Or you’re not getting anything for your birthday!”

[theasmadness]

pierce-thefierce:

“Yeah,” he hummed in agreement as he leaned against the wall beside the door and looked at his watch. 

“So it looks like I’m on time to take lunch, so… I’ll see you in half an hour?”

Thea’s brow furrowed in annoyance, why did she have to be so in love with this jackass? She reeled her leg back and gave one swift kick to the door, which probably did more harm to her foot than it helped get her out. “LET ME OUT ASSHOLE!”

[theasmadness]

pierce-thefierce:

“Excuses, excuses… All right.” If she wanted him to be old, he’d be old, then. He backed away from the desk and opened the office door again, taking the key that was usually hung up on the inside wall and fitting it in the knob. “Sounds like you need a timeout, then. Enjoy.”

And with that, he shut and locked the door.

Thea jumped down from the desk, assuming they were walking out together but when he shut the door behind himself she froze, confused for a split second. When she heard the door lock she jumped at the knob and furiously tried to get it to twist but it refused to budge. “Piiiiiieeeeeeerrrrce!” Thea whined through the door, still trying at the doorknob. “Pierce let me ooooouuuuuuut!” She continued to whine, almost going limp against the door, as if her body weight would magically get it to open. She gave an annoyed sigh as she gave up trying to open it, “You’re a prick,” she groaned in a normal voice.

[theasmadness]

pierce-thefierce:

He placed his hands on surface of the desk beside both of her legs to make sure she wouldn’t get up and cause more havoc easily. Scoffing at her insult, he replied, “I’m not that old, asshole. Just because you’re internally an immature preteen doesn’t change anything.”

She rolled her eyes, “Oh come on, you know everyone peaks at 25. It’s all downhill from here, honey.” She said condescendingly while patting his cheek. “Immaturity is a byproduct of the trauma I suffered from late childhood to early adolescence, it’s not something I can control,” she shrugged almost too casually, “and it also doesn’t change the fact that you’re old.”

[theasmadness]

pierce-thefierce:

“Oh, calm down, Malfoy. No need to get your panties in a bunch,” he told her, as if this scenario were completely reasonable. To add to the flames, he made sure to give her a good slap on the ass in front of everyone before he brought her into the office, shut the door with his foot, and set her down on the desk. “Is this really the shit I get on my birthday?”

Thea was quickly silenced at that moment until he finally set her down on the desk. Before he could ask his question she sighed, “You’re an ass.” She raised an eyebrow at him, “This is the shit you get every day. You don’t even like your birthday so I’m not going to treat you any differently just because you’re old now.”

[theasmadness]

pierce-thefierce:

“Oh, it was necessary,” he answered, glad that she stood up so this would be easier. Without another word, and ignoring all of the looks they were now getting from the other operators, Pierce tossed the blonde over his shoulder and headed for the back office.

“You just wait until my father hears-” she began before being rudely interrupted by having the wind knocked out of her from being picked up so quickly. They were no doubt making a scene in front of all of their coworkers now, so there wasn’t a whole lot Thea could do to make it worse, so she just started screaming, “THIS IS COMPLETELY INAPPROPRIATE! I AM YOUR SUPERIOR! I COULD GET YOU FIRED FOR THIS!”

quinn-valentine:

Her distractions had become a way of life for the past couple days. She had grieved for her mother, through the help of her old diaries. Though she never expected the bombshell of finding out who her father way. So many questions ran through her head, did he know? Was he aware that he daughter walked the same streets as him? Either way, Quinn had to get the thoughts out of her head, at least for now anyway. 

She hadn’t realised how narrow the path she had been following was, not until someone’s voice monitored for her to move. Quinn hasn’t heard what the girl had said first off. She looked around, finally connecting with her surroundings once again. “Shit, Sorry,” she said, noting how little the walkway actually was. “My bad, I wasn’t paying any attention.”

Thea rolled her eyes slightly, Obviously, she thought but didn’t speak aloud. She squeezed past the girl and was about to be on her way but stopped and turned back to her for a moment, “Word of advice, from one spacey blonde to another, out here in the open isn’t a good place to lose focus of your surroundings. Not anymore, anyway. Keep your guard up. With this war going on and all the mer out there, paying attention is one thing you can’t let up on.” She wasn’t saying this to be rude or to try and scare her - well, maybe a little bit - but part of her was actually concerned about not only this girl’s safety, but everyone’s safety.

serenethemermaid:

Serene needed some help, but she couldn’t let anyone know what she needed it for. Her body was getting weaker and weaker as time went by and she was starting to wish she hadn’t caused this much drama. Going into any place wouldn’t help until she knew what she was getting. Picking up one of the phones, she dialed the number, but she wasn’t sure what she was asking for. It was already difficult enough to figure out what the number was or how in the world to use it. Upon hearing the operator, she stopped. “What are you even saying? I don’t need to keep anything up. I just need information and someone who can help me feel better. I’ve been feeling under the weather.”

Oh the innocent minds of Wonderlanders. One day she’ll get a wanderer on her line when she answers the phone with that and they’ll all have a good laugh. But today was not that day. She raised an eyebrow at the woman’s strange request. Most people ask to be directed to a specific person or building, so a vague request about information was puzzling to her. Her comment about feeling under the weather made her believe she had caught the mysterious sickness that was going around, so she’d probably be looking for a doctor of some sort. “Well it sounds like you need medicine or something so I can redirect you to the Doctor or the palace physician if you think that would help but if you’re looking for someone specific I’m gonna need a name or an establishment to redirect you to.”
