I’m going to put this in my rules but

I’M NOT AN EXPECTANT RP’ER

If I like your starter call, send you a meme, or reply to a thread, and you don’t respond to it, I honestly don’t mind. I never expect anything from anyone, and I’m never demanding with RP’ing. It dosn’t matter if we talk every day, are really good friends, or if we talk occasionally/not at all, I never expect anything from anyone ! This is your hobby, your escape, and your relaxation, don’t stress yourself thinking “ Oh god I haven’t replied/haven’t made a starter/haven’t posted her meme, she must think I’m ignoring her ” I’m not thinking that at all !! Seriously !!

Friend, acquaintance, or mutual, don’t pressure yourself thinking I’ll be bitching about it, I won’t. I don’t mind, and it’s not hurt my feelings. You do you ♥

Okay, smol headcanon cause it's come up a few times in rps: Jekyll did indeed have a maid and a butler when he was alive. However the butler was more so a butler to Jekyll's family if anything and had known Jekyll since he was a teenager. The maid was a relative of the butler looking for work. Even though Jekyll could easily handle house keeping on his own and already had a butler who made sure he ate properly, he hired her due to being unable to turn her away. Both basically took care of Jekyll whenever he became too lost in his work. (Neither of them lived at Jekyll's apartment either. They both had their own homes to go to once it got late)

❛ doctor jekyll — ❜ ah, he remembered jekyll, in the previous war, he had done such awful things to this servant ( to this servant’s master — here, assassin, hold him now & forever, the boy’s body limp in the girl’s arms — jekyll’s master ), although he had not meant to — was not manaka’s influence terribly crushing ? he thought of all he had done, how he was alone with his regrets ( but he was not alone, he was simply without misaya ), of all that might have been, had he not made that one choice. ❛ i have heard of you, ❜ comes the soft reply, paired with a gentle smile ( for, no darkness clouds him here. in this place, he is good & pure ; the kind man he had been before he lost it all ) — what a gentle face the doctor had, despite that which paracelsus knew lay within him ( within each of us, there is good & evil, he once spoke to his students ) ❛ in london, i was there — ❜ 

     ❛ there was a man causing … something — zolgen makiri was my friend, long ago… ah, i’m sorry — i am lost in thought… ❜ looking upon this man brought back that ache in his chest ( for had jekyll not suffered, too ? they all suffered ) as he wondered how he could breach the subject — or if he should mention anything of the past war at all. perhaps it would be best to stick to what he knew of the ORDER & of chaldea — ❛ i have heard of some of your work as well ; the soul is a complex thing, your work is quite daring, isn’t it ? i admire that. i am glad we can finally meet face to face !! ❜

Jekyll felt a bit sheepish as he listened to the raven haired man. He genuinely had no idea that Paracelsus had been in London during the whole madness of the ‘deadly fog’. Sure, he could try and say that he had been at his apartment the entire time due to it being used as a base of operations, but that didn’t excuse the fact that he hadn’t paid more attention to when people spoke of Paracelsus. Surely Mordred or one of the other servants that had been around during that whole escapade had mentioned Paracelsus being in London. Even if the city was large he was certain they’d covered near every inch of it trying to stop the singularity... 

Ah! 

He was getting carried away, that didn’t matter right now. 

“It’s quite alright, I myself tend to get lost in my own thoughts.” 

He admitted with an embarrassed smile. It wasn’t just when he was speaking that he could become lost...Even within his own research could he become easily lost...how many times during his life did his servants have to bang on his door or bring him food because he’d spent the entire day in his small laboratory?  

“O-Oh...”

Jekyll was taken aback upon hearing the praise pertaining to his work. Usually, his study into the human soul was not something to be praised. After all, it was what he was remembered for, his greatest mistake.  The countless hours he had spent reading book after book or trying concoction after concoction had resulted in the birth of a monster from which he would never be free of. Everyone he met usually looked down upon him for his actions, and he did not blame them. What he had done had been inhumane, crossing a boundary that was never meant to be crossed, all because he’d been curious and driven by the thought that what he was doing would benefit all of humanity... 

Feeling even more sheepish than before, Jekyll tried to regain his composure. He didn’t deserve such praise. Especially with what he’d become. 

“Thank you very much..! Sadly...my work did not end as well as I would have hoped.”

He gave a soft laugh, as if mocking his own failure. 

“I am glad I can meet you as well. I have heard of how skilled you are in alchemy. I tried dabbling in it when I was still alive, it’s an astounding thing to study...sadly the books I was able to obtain on the subject were few and far between...”

It couldn’t help but to bark happily in response. “I somewhat understand your words, but I can’t promise you I will be able to fully understand. You’re technically the first human that had approached me with kindness. Such bravery must I add, to think you would try to attack me…” The wolf started to trot closer to the other. 

“You won’t happen to have food with ya? Kinda starving here! My pa, left me with a trace for some reason…so stealing food was…one way or another to get somethin’ to eat around here,”

As Jekyll listened he couldn’t help but feel a little bashful. 

It felt strange to be praised by a wolf for being brave and not attacking him, but it also made him feel incredibly happy. Scenarios like this were ones he had only dreamed of as a child. Finding some mysterious creature and helping it out. Good God he needed to get a hold of himself! 

“You flatter me. I just did what I believed was the right course of action…"

Not to mention Jekyll wasn't the kind to carry a weapon around with him, or jump head first into a fight. While he was indeed scared of this wolf at first, he wouldn’t have pulled a weapon out, even if he had one on him. 

“oh...food? I don’t have any with me...but I do at my apartment.” 

Around this time of night the few servants he had already returned home... And it wasn’t very safe to stick around here all night, as someone would eventually find the wolf... But... How would he bring a giant wolf all the way back to his apartment? Further more, how would he fit through the front door!?

MY MUSE IS NOT ALWAYS RIGHT

   Please keep in mind that, however hard my muse may argue something or however confidently they make a statement, they can be wrong. It’s my muse’s opinion, and my muse talking, and their perception is skewed.               Do not feel like everything out of my character’s mouth is the truth, or that I’m godmodding. 

[spellswordsuggestion]

I believe that there is still good in this world, that there is always good in this world, and I will fight for a world where that goodness is allowed to flourish.

When we studied Jekyll and Hyde and all I did was make mood boards. I tried to make all the pictures correspond and link to stuff in the novella. It was fun.

✕    Hyde… That was the name of the brother inside his body beneath his self-control… It was too bad that remnants of his darker half remained even when Jekyll was at light. She certainly hoped that the gentle doctor could keep… Hyde… in check this evening. She would speak no more of Hyde unless Jekyll invited it. He didn’t seem to enjoy the topic. 

The poor doctor… He seemed so nervous… … … She didn’t want him to be nervous around her… Brynhildr’s presence could be too mournful for most, tedious at best… And those who knew of the way her life ended condemned her for it. For most, Brynhildr did not mind them being nervous around her, but she wished no harm at all to Jekyll… She decided to try to be a little less doleful than usual in an effort to calm his brother-driven anxieties.

She raised her elbows to the table and laced her fingers through each other, tilting her hand slightly to rest her cheek on the back of one hand, a soft smile gracing her pale lips. 

“Much milk and sugar would be wonderful, thank you,” she answered him softly. “And who was this Early Gray? Did you know him? He is a Saxon like you, yes?”

With a nod, Jekyll moved to the refrigerator. Cream would be nice to have with a black tea such as this, but milk would have to suffice. Then again...cream was rather strong, it was much better for coffee than tea if the person wasn’t certain about their tastes. 

Silently he prepared the tea for Brynhildr, focusing on his task instead of on the anxiety that was slowly eating away at him. Or, well, he was, until Brynhildr brought up a very good question. 

“I...actually don’t know.” 

Jekyll’s brows furrowed as he thought over where the name ‘Earl Gray’ actually came from. He remembered the tea being a rather normal occurrence within the local market when he was alive. There was no news of some fancy new tea being made so it certainly hadn’t been new when Jekyll was an adult. And while Jekyll’s memories of his childhood weren’t the strongest, as every other person’s did with age, he did remember drinking the tea with his parents or with friends of his parents’. 

So...

Where did the name come from?  Who was Earl Gray? 

“I should actually look this up once I have the time...I’m curious now.” 

But did library have any books on tea and their histories? Or, perhaps he should try looking through a book on England’s history to try and find a man named Earl Gray? Ah...but that would take a very long time...

With an almost innocent frown caused by the desire to know more adorning his face, Jekyll finished preparing the two cups of tea.  He smiled once he was done and picked up both mugs. There was a small twinge of fear in his heart as he approached Brynhildr, but he ignored it. Thankfully, the thought of searching for the name Earl Gray had taken his mind off of senseless fears...He didn’t seem as nervous now. 

“I can only assume he was Saxon, or Anglo-Saxon. If I find the answer, I’ll be sure to tell you.” 

He placed a mug of tea in front of Brynhildr. True to the request, it had been given plenty of milk and sugar to balance out the more bitter taste of the tea. Jekyll himself took his tea and sat at the same table, blowing softly on the liquid before sipping at it.  ow-- still hot. But, it did taste how he liked it. Good. 

“I hope you like it.”

“It’s not safe to be wandering around this late...” 

The berserker’s eyes were focused on the brunette before him. The grail war had already begun, servants were already out and about getting their plans ready for the coming battles. Nights like these were dangerous for just about anyone on the streets.  He didn’t want another falling victim to a servant so late at night, especially this young girl...

“Master, please forgive me but...I may have taken a walk around the city without permission...”

He laughed nervously, wringing his hands while refusing to look at the student. Perhaps it wasn’t a major thing, maybe it was just Jekyll over reacting, but he felt as if it were wrong for him to roam about without his master’s permission.

But...Jekyll just couldn’t help himself! He was still so curious about everything there was in this time, and while the grail had given him knowledge of it seeing was so different than just knowing it existed!
