greek tragedy

December smiled, it was small, mostly because she was nervous. She was always nervous meeting new people, she was use to them knowing October or being introduced by her. A blush ran across her cheeks. “I think you look nice too. And Sorry about the babble. I do that when I get anxious or nervous. Something I’m trying to stop but it’s hard when nearly everything makes me anxious or nervous… and there I go, babbling again.” She chuckled timidly.

“Net, it’s alright. It’s adorable really- it makes you hard to dislike” Anya said thoughtfully with a small laugh “You know a way to get over nerves is to just fake it. I’m not joking, I’ve been to enough socialite events and met enough governors to get accustomed to it so it seems unfair but... trust me. Focus on something that makes you feel comfortable, smile and be pretty- not that that should be too hard for you- and just fake it until it becomes a reality. It’s surprising how well it works”

Shaking her head again, she pused the paper back to her. “No, I don’t want to read it now. Sort of changes how you view them when you actually meet someone in it..” She shifted uncomfortably and then reached out to shake Anya’s hand. “Uhm.. December. December Nightingale. I’d rather like to meet you than the way they portrayed the girl in this paper.”

#a;convo #december;chat #songofdecember #[omg she is so adorable and melissa benoist is perf for her bc she has that nice girl vibe to her]#[also forgive Anya she flirts with everyone as a means to cover up potentially awkward situations]

That was a surprise and, as the girl- December- pushed the paper back towards her it lightened Anya’s mood and a more genuine smile graced her lips. One that just ghosted over but seemed so much more sincere than her others,

“December Nightingale... I think we’ll get along just fine” She said, her voice sounding like she might let out a small laugh “But then again, that might also have to do with the fact that I think you look nice and babble”

December shook her head, “No, really. It’s fine.” She recognized the girl’s face from somewhere. She didn’t think she ever knew her and December had just arrived only about a week ago. December furrowed her eyebrows and then lowered her head. She was the girl from the cover. “N-no, I haven’t read anything, I was only on the first page, and besides, I don’t believe anything in those. It’s all trash and you should probably throw it away…” She shut herself up to stop her from rambling on.

#a;convo #december;chat #songofdecember

“It’s... it’s alright” Anya sighed, shaking her head as she retrieved the mildly crumpled tabloid from her bag and handed it over to the girl with a little shrug “That was stupid I mean, hey, if you don’t read it now then some other time right? It’s alright, I overreacted” another sigh and a small utterance of ‘Nicholas is going to kill me’ was whispered under her breath before Anya put on a winning smile and held her hand out to the girl “Before you read it in the tabloid, I’m Anya Ingra”

“I heard that once I think.” She chuckles and smiles at the younger woman. “No, can’t beat it at all.” she agrees. “Black one sugar.” She answers though curious as to why she’d want to know suck information.

Anya inclined her head at Kennedy’s answer, thinking over the answer contemplatively before deciding she might as well provide some background as to why she asked,

“You know, they say a person’s choice in coffee says a lot about them” She pointed out “It’s just interesting to hear”

December wasn’t one to be caught reading tabloids, she knew they were garbage, but it was a little guilty pleasure of hers. She never believed them. It was all failed journalists trying to slander famous people so they could get their own name out there. She jumped and squealed a little when it was ripped out of her hands though. Staring wide eyed at the girl, she nodded, “Y-yeah, it’s okay.”

#a;convo #december;chat #songofdecember

Anya hadn’t meant to startle the other so much and, when she heard the girl squeal, she winced a little and offered up her most sincerely apologetic smile even as she folded up the tabloid and stuffed it into her bag.

“Mne zha- I mena, I’m sorry. That was... um... sorry” She muttered, cheeks flushing slightly as she mentally cursed herself “That was terribly rude of me I just... you probably read it already didn’t you?”

Phoenix shakes his head as she apologizes. “no no, don’t apologize. Little one, huh? I like that.” Ryder holds his hands out to Anya. “She’ll be fine according to the doc, so not too worried. I may just take you up on that.”

#a;convo #phoenix;chat #phoenixwolff #[he's honestly so great omg]#[i used to rp with him as a fc once and it was so great he's so precious]

Anya bit gently into her lower lip as Ryder held his hands out to her and she smiled down at the boy. It was nice and she liked to be around children; there was a certain gentle innocence to them that made her act more soft.

“Well, let me know because I think I’m a little infatuated with this milaya here” She laughed “And hey, if you ever want to know other Russian words I’m always around”

“Mal-malyutka?” Phoenix repeats with a curious look on his face. “He really is. Yeah, yeah - taking care of him while my mother - she’s his foster mother - recovers from surgery. There were some problems so I have him another month.”

#a;convo #phoenix;chat #phoenixwolff #[also i adore your fc!]

As Phoenix repeated the word Anya’s brows raised the slightest as she realized she’d slipped in another bit of Russian without realizing it and gave him an apologetic smile,

“Sorry, I’d spent my whole life living in Russia so I tend to slip some Russian in still. Malyutka means little one” She explained before listening to him as he explained the situation that had caused Ryder to stay with him “Oh... I’m sorry. I hope she gets better soon but, hey, if you need any help I’d love to be of any assistance”

phoenix-wolff:

Ryder let out a giggle as his nose is tapped and Phoenix smiles. “I think he likes you.” He says taking her hand to shake. “It’s nice to meet you too.”

“Well, malyutka, that works out just great because I like you too!” She laughed softly “He’s adorable really... is he staying with you right now?”

#a;convo #phoenix;chat #phoenixwolff #[i'm doing great too thank you!]

“This is Ryder.” Phoenix looks up with a smile. “Oh don’t worry about it. Have to expect it when he’s this cute.” He teases as he picks Ryder up and stands. “Hi, I’m Phoenix.”

#a;convo #phoenix;chat #phoenixwolff #[how are you? ^^]

“Well Ryder, it’s a pleasure meeting you” Anya dimples down at the little one, reaching out and gently touching her index finger to the child’s nose before extending her hand out to Phoenix with the same amiable smile “Anya, great meeting you”

Kennedy watches the younger woman intently as she realizes just who it was that she’d taken the paper from and a small smile tugs at her lips. “Well, it’s all yours, Anya.” She says dismissing the paper right off. “Not my usual reading material, as it is.” She wasn’t foolish enough to believe the reason for her taking the paper was anything other than the fact that her face was plastered over the cover. Clearly she didn’t want it to be read, let alone talk about it so she wouldn’t push. “I was early this morning, thought a coffee may help wake me up a bit more.”

#a;convo #kennedy;chat #kennedyoconnor

“Well, if it’s a wake up call you need apples are actually more potent with caffeine” Anya suggested, glad that Kennedy didn’t bother to push why exactly the young woman had behaved in such a brash manner. She couldn’t have taken that this early on and had to have faced her professor later in class. That was asking too much of herself “But, hey, can’t beat the taste of coffee right? How do you usually take yours?”

“Turns out I’m going to have the tiny human for a lot longer than I thought. Time to start looking for an apartment.”

#a;convo #phoenix;chat #phoenixwolff #[hello!]

"Well who’s this little darling?” Anya asked, looking down at the little child with the other before a faint blush touched her cheeks “Sorry- I didn’t mean to be intrusive”

Well, there’s a few papers on Genetics, some in the structure of cells and how they’re related to their function..you know, just the usual.

#a;convo #elizabeth;chat #elizabethrosewell

Genetics huh... If you don’t mind me bothering you for a bit longer, what’s your take on genes holding the key to certain traits prevalent in people? I know a lot of people have debates over the nature-nurture aspect of it so I’m just curious as to what you think

She’d been early for class, so decided on stopping at the campus cafe to wait it out. There was a tabloid sitting on the table she’d chosen, and where she normally wouldn’t read these things she decided to pick it up for the sake of something to do.

Kennedy arches a brow as the young woman that had just taken the paper from her jumps into an explanation. “Right, okay.”

#a;convo #kennedy;chat #kennedyoconnor

Of course it had to be her English professor. Of course. Clearly the universe wasn’t doing Anya any big favors today and it took everything in her not to wince and keep up her stunning socialite smile that Nicholas had made her perfect over the many parties she’d been dragged to when she was miserable. Folding up the tabloid in a way that made it so that the other couldn’t see her face on the front page, Anya tucked the tabloid into her bag.

“Sorry about that prof. It’s just... a very important article” She said carefully and, trying to be conversational so that she didn’t seem suspicious, carried on “Fancy catching you here though- I don’t usually see you around the cafe”

Well, good. Is everything okay though? Fall definitely does make things look prettier, gives me some good inspiration for my paintings. Yeah, was going a little stir crazy with being inside more than usual.

#a;convo #jordyn;chat #jordynmccullan

Just the usual; dysfunctional family drama, pending assignments and unnecessarily clingy one night stands gone wrong [Anya shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly] It’s just nice to get out and away- I love looking at the colors but I’m terrible at painting. I’d love to see your Autumn inspired works some day if that’s alright though, I like the subtle details that go into Art

It was right there in the others’ hands. Blatantly obvious with her face plastered on the front page of the stupid Tabloid she’d been trying so desperately to avoid and, before they could get any further with looking into the paper, Anya snatched the paper out of their hands and flashed them a brilliant smile.

“Sorry about that, I just... I wanted to check out a article! Da, there was a certain page that interested me so if you could just give me a second...”

I’ll think about helping you set up a prank, okay?
