nature's loophole

they pause for a moment, that guilt of being an asshole settling in. ' best i can do is bring the sarcasm to the table. i don't exactly offer much else. ' what could they do ? shit talk their way outta whatever trouble was gonna show up ? ' if you think i got any ideas, may i remind you i'm currently flunking every single one of my classes ? '

" You can do anything I can do, that's the point. Two heads are better than one. " But really, she doesn't blame them; there are times when she wishes she was anything but the supernatural abomination that she is. Where she wishes she could be normal; get into normal trouble, not risk her life every time something attacks the school. " I'll -- figure it out myself, come on. " And with that, she turns on her heel.

' our ? don't drag me into this. this was one of your ideas. i told you i had no idea how to help on your lil..save the world team. anything i could do, you can do ten times better. can we leave now ? i'm freezin out here. '

[triiibred]

Well, maybe she doesn't want to do this alone. Maybe she doesn't want to be the one that everyone turns to, the odd one out; the one everyone expects to think of the plan, save the day. Or maybe she was just trying to include her cousin. She knows they struggle just as much as she does. " Yeah. Yeah, we can go. I'm sorry for dragging you into this. "

" In hindsight, maybe this wasn't one of our better ideas. "

He remains silent as she states he's going to get himself killed, brown eyes avoiding her gaze, avoiding the fact that he knew every risk he took when jumping into situations like these and was more than willing to let the WORST happen so long as he helped to save people until his final breath. The scent of earth being stirred up beneath the other's boot STRONGLY fills his nostrils as well as the metallic hint of Hope's blood when she bites her own wrist. Archie has to briefly glance away from her again as she does so, not bothered by the sight of it, but by the mere fact she had to HURT herself in order to draw it out.

It only takes a few seconds before he's pulling a small pocket knife from his jeans, opening it and cutting a slash across his palm with just enough force to make it bleed. Archie cups his hand so not a DROP is yet spilled onto the ground and holds out it out to her. " Take it then, Hope. Whatever we need to stop this. "

It's hypocritical to call him out for this. She knows this, and perhaps that's what makes her lose all the fight she'd had. Her features soften, some mix between sympathy and concern, care and affection that only she will let herself acknowledge; after all, loving a Mikaelson is a death sentence. Letting someone in will only seal their fate. Her parents are enough proof of that.

Her free hand takes his, carefully tilting it so his blood spills as she follows the shape of one half of the rune. She leaves his hand palm up for a moment when she's done, as her own blood spills onto the other half of it. Her wounds heal quickly, and there is a faint glow already starting where their blood mixes; she'll have to work fast. Hope can't help the small squeeze she gives his hand, meant to be reassuring, some semblance of grounding. " Repeat after me, okay? Doesn't matter if you can actually do magic or not, I just need another person. "

@townmartyr from here!

It isn't his job to make sure the school is safe. If anything, it should be hers; she is the tribrid. She can't be killed -- the rest of the students, the staff, they can. She also feels like she needs to make up for the lives her father had taken, the reputation her family has. She has to be worth what they'd sacrificed. And how can she do that when she allows anyone to run into danger with her?

" I get it. I do. But you're going to get yourself killed sooner or later. " And when she could have prevented it? She's not quite sure how she'd look into a mirror. Her boot is moving through the dirt regardless, tracing some rune that Hope remembers seeing her aunt use. A hand is held out for his, after her fangs bite into her own wrist. The blood of a vampire and a werewolf; it's what the spell calls for, she's sure of it. She has to be sure.

" If you really want to help, " she continues, and there is that part of her that wishes he wouldn't. She is more than capable of taking care of everything herself, throwing herself into harm's way before she will let someone else. " I need your blood. "

     She’s been at this with Julian for hours, even if Hope herself doesn’t much care for the holiday -- it’s the feeling of togetherness, of family; after all, isn’t that what Christmas is all about? There’s the sound of boots in the snow that catches her ear, and she can see Julian’s head shift -- there’s a twist of her fingers, and the lights they’re stringing turn green. She ignores her brother’s protest as she turns her head to face Des. “ Green looks better, right, aunty Des? ”

Hope had a pet unicorn when she was younger. She asked for one when she was seven or so, and Elijah and Klaus actually managed to track one down.

[triiibred]

she's a 10 but has 6 siblings

     “ And I love all of them, what’s your point? ”

[triiibred]

she's a 10 but her dad is klaus </3

[triiibred]

spare henrik some gender pls. he's sitting in the closet : (

     He can have some gender. He asked nicely. She won’t tell their dad.

[triiibred]

she's a 10 but steals all the genders

     “ If you ask nicely you can borrow one of them. ”

[songlyricsxxx]

Send “They’re ’s a 10, but..” and fill in the rest to call out my muse!

‘ boundary spell the whole house and get them all in the courtyard. they’ll either talk to each other or try and kill each other. do i bring popcorn ?  ’

     “ I like the way you think. Beignets instead? ” Honestly, she thinks it would go a long way, everyone just sitting around and talking to each other. Even if none of them like what everyone else has to say, it has to be cathartic in some way.

[immortalines]

 ‘ i think everyone in this family needs some massive therapy. like all of you. ’

[triiibred]

      “ Oh, definitely. You think a boundary spell and truth spell would do the trick? ”
