[[oops, we missed paris's birthday. he would think thats just fucking typical. he turned 34 last saturday. he celebrated by getting extraordinarily smashed and there was definitely sex with at least one person, possibly someone from the office

im sure jarvis would offer him a freebie for his birthday. not sure if he would take it, or punch him. that might depend on the degree of drunkenness.]]

[[so ive been working on something for a few days that was SUPPOSED to just be a little drabble about paris and sebastienne watching the group and making some snippy little comments as only two total badasses can… well ACTUALLY it was supposed to be about this one character, soren hersi:

and getting sort of an intro to him through paris and seb basically gossiping about him. so far that part has only happened in about two lines out of… 28 pages so far. because naturally with these two i ended up having seb describe paris and then reflect on her own life, and then paris ended up talking about kite and then talking about his past in comparison… and then i got into how kite met harper and all this shit with the two of them and yeah, 28 pages later, i dont know what the fuck is going on, or if we’ll even get back to soren eventually. but we should, because he’s pretty, non?

and i think in this little drabble ive revealed more about half the white tower characters than i did during the entire run of that blog thus far, and thats kinda sad. but! new inspiration here and new life for some characters that i am awfully attached to. because harper… too insane, too fabulous, too much of an enjoyable dick for me to let go. ive got something in him and im not done with it yet. and paris… paris never even had a shot on the white tower! he had one intro thread with somebody that went fabulously (expert banter on my part, i worked hard on it) and then went nowhere, and… thats it. i even made him with the intention of “this is what regular girls like, right? big manly guys! hunky dude from lost, cant go wrong!”

chicks dig that shit! thats what ive learned in 29 years on this earth surrounded by straight chicks! but nobody took the bait, unfortunately. despite the fact that he is SOUTHERN SEBASTIAN OKAY, jesus, if youre a seb girl you should like him, hes like extra-self-destructive seb. which makes him and sebastienne basically the same person shhhhhh, they dont know theyre genderbent versions of each other. jesus this is like an anime.

and we cant give up on the white tower folks because i finally found the perfect fc for kite okay.

nobody loves kite but me either but i dont give a shit. hes my coldest, most utterly sociopathic bastard, and i love him. when i type this shit up youll finally get to see a bit of how he and harper met and maybe youll love them too, i dont know. regardless im writing this gigantic thing for some reason because i just cant stop today. although right now i need cereal.

[[an fyi that i am doing a lot with some of the white tower characters on my apocalypse au blog lifeaftervi. hmm a short list

well theres jarvis of course

harper

xavier paris

kite

sebastienne moran from lafemmemormor

there will be some mentions of jane moriaty in regards to seb's past, but so far i dont plan on actually including her.

claybourne rexhepi... who is actually working for the enemy

alamilla furlan... who has been a defunct WT character awhile... after her handling of the richard brook situation harper decided to remove her from head of security duties and she went back to being just a regular contact (i have yet to fill the HoS position with somebody new, idk). but alamillas nature and appearance were just too good to pass up as a mutant and a villain.

and then tons of new characters! awesome ones! check out my zany premise and shit. definitely come look because these characters will probably be getting a lot more play over there than they have been here lately (and like i said, much backstory in addition to the new plot). and who wouldnt want to see how your favourite criminals fare in the post-apocalyptic world?]]

“M-More than a little of both,” Nathan admitted with a slightly conspiratorial smile, a smile that included the other man on his side of things rather than massing him with the general public. “Nothing but a pleasure.”

He moved down into the basement with practised eased and emerged just a few minutes later with a large cardboard box in his arms. He balanced it against the edge of the front desk as he cleared a space and then dropped in on top before looking up.

“I thought it m-might be easier to look through everything with you, in case I miss what you’re after or you spot something I would’ve overlooked,” he said, smiling politely as he started to unload the various papers from inside the box. There was a faint twinkle in his eyes, genuine excitement about the task ahead of him. “There’s a real mixture in here. I haven’t had a proper look through a lot them in years, so God only knows what we’ll find. Feel free to pull up a chair if that’d be m-more comfortable,” he added, just as lightly.

"I'm fine," Rufus said, softly but definitely. To punctuate his point, he put the cane down, resting the ornate silver head against the countertop, freeing up his hands. He didn't want to get defensive but he liked to have as much control when meeting new people as possible, and being seen as a helpless cripple wasn't part of that. He wasn't a cripple anyhow, but the blood beating behind his eyes reminded him that he was never completely out of the woods. But he had taken plenty of precautionary meds to get him out the door today, and damn it he could make it through this. Just needed to get the proper plans and get out of here. He wasn't going to fall today.

At least the shopkeeper was nice enough. Even sort-of-almost made a joke with him. Not enough to laugh at but the man had smiled, and Rufus couldn't remember the last time anyone besides Charlie had done that.

Both hands freed, Rufus started rifling through the plans, peering at each carefully. Even though he'd taken the forethought to wear the thick tortoiseshell glasses he used for his work at home (as opposed to the thin silver wire rims he typically wore for meetings), he still had to hold the maps awkwardly close to read them. The blood pounded the reminded him of all that waited behind his eyes, but he brushed it off to do the work. And he did enjoy this. Even the plans not pertinent to his current project held plenty of interest, and he had to remind himself he didnt have to go over each in detail. He began sorting into two piles, ones he wanted and ones he did not.

He remembered his manners suddenly. "Thank you for finding these," he murmured, eyes flicking up momentarily above the rims of his glasses. "And for letting me sort through them. Not all antiques dealers are as hospitable."
