◤ ✕ ° › hurricane !

she is ASH and acid, soot and SCARS. a ( t r a g e d y ) of crossed wires, a ticking time BOMB just waiting to explode. she is an apocalypse wrapped in WOLF fur. she bares her teeth in a SMILE and your world starts SHAKING. you are meant to LOVE a star bright and beautiful and FAR away. but she is a lightning strike heralded by THUNDER, brutal and blinding and GONE before you can blink.

                ❝       last  time  i  checked  there  were  no  RULES  AGAINST  FUN,     or  leaving.       sounds  like  this   castor  dude  needs  to  get  out   more.       i’d  say  we  could  invite  him  along,   but  most  people  against  fun  are  also   against  me  so ––      yeah,   let’s  get  on  the  road.    ❞

        “ even if there were rules against fun, that sure as hell wouldn’t stop me. flynn castor has a large stick up his ass, but he is the leader around here. it’s no excuse, but i’ll give him that, ” valerie shrugged. “ so, what’s our plan of action ?? we’re sneaking in, yes ?? and i’m valerie, by the way. ”

“I gotta say I’m loving this warm weather we’ve been having.” 

[valeriemonroe]

“ i gotta say, you’re too perky, ” valerie said, mimicking the blonde’s tone of voice.

              ❝  i’m  pretty sure  i’m supposed to be in central park…  ❞   she eyes her surroundings with suspicion. it certainly doesn’t look the same the last time she’s seen it.  ❝  pretty sure this isn’t it…  ❞

[valeriemonroe]

       “ does this look like central park to you ?? ” valerie asked, rolling her eyes in vexation. 

[flynncastor-blog-deactivated202]

I gotta say… It feels pretty good to be back.

[valeriemonroe]

“ well, well. if it isn’t mister castor, ” valerie said, both eyebrows raised. “ no offense, but you look like you’ve aged ten years. ”

“You think they’re ever going to provide us with maps?” The question wasn’t intended for a single person, more of a low muse to herself. But if any unsuspecting stranger had heard it, then what was Cassandra going to lose? It was better to make friends, she’d been told. Spotting another… camper ( she wasn’t sure what to call them, but whatever ), she directed her next query at them. “You know where we’re meant to drop our belongings?”

[valeriemonroe]

valerie scoffed at the question. “ been here for years, and they’ve never given us maps. that’ll never change, ” she said. eyeing the girl carefully, valerie’s eyes narrowed into slits -- a force of habit. “ in your room. i don’t know where else you’d expect to put your shit, ” valerie said with an eye roll.

Her gaze lingered briefly on the school building, itself, the familiarity of it towering over Hadlee in a way she had yet to put into words. With one bag slung over her shoulder, one in her left hand, and her son held to her torso with her right, the young woman made her way towards the school doors without glancing one way or the other. It had been months since she’d been present, what with complications at James Enterprises and some brief issues with Max’s health. Nonetheless, Hadlee was determined not to let the opinions of others bother her. Their judgment and their criticism were their own problem–not hers. 

And the inability to open the door was hers. A small sigh slid past her lips as she stared at it for a moment, working out a plan of action. 

[valeriemonroe]

valerie wasn’t how most people expected girls to act. she was rough along the edges, her tongue was sharp, and rather than dripping honey-coated words, it dripped sarcasm. she preferred the company of strangers to the company of familiars, and there was nothing she hated more than idiocy. but underneath her hard shell, there was a heart who cared for a handful of people. valerie convinced herself there was no more room for other people. even so, the sight of a girl with her hands completely full was enough to drive her forwards. 

“ can i help you with something ? ” she asked.

“ i think i heard about that, ” valerie said with a nod. she was intrigued, of course. everything related to alcohol interested her, which most people credited to her godly parent. “ i’m in. i say we get going before castor finds us. that boy opposes all things fun, ” she said, linking her arm with his. “ lead the way. ”

“–so. how does this….w o r k ?? for real, i…have no idea how to turn this thing on.”

daniel held himself tentatively in front of the coffee machine, the array of buttons and symbols completely throwing off the kid. he could take apart and put together a computer in a few minutes–but this? privileged lifestyle stunted him.

“i really just want a cappuccino…”

[valeriemonroe]

valerie watched the boy, her eyes narrowed into slits. her default mood was irritable, and the stranger before her only added to her vexation. she folded her arms over her chest, then tilted her head as he continued to speak.

“ you know, that’s something you could easily figure out on your own. there’s only so many buttons -- go ahead, try your luck, ” valerie spat.

She’s sparkling. A sense of responsibility would spoil her. She’s too pretty.

Every woman wants and needs different things. It’s always best when you’re honest and you speak up. It’s hard to read minds.

“Why did people stop giving mix-tapes to their sweethearts? I mean they are so cute.”

"Probably because it's so romantic that it's disgusting."

"Ooh, I’ve never been in here before."

[valeriemonroe]

"Yeah, welcome to the Dionysus cabin. You can leave now."

"Of course I don’t expect you to play nice. Just be you. That’s the best Val." He smiled. "And yeah, I think I’ll need some help. My mom used to order the turkey and stuff, but she’s not here anymore. Nor are my grandparents. You guys are sort of the only family I’ve got left." 

[valeriemonroe]

"Thanks. You still think I'm "the best Val" when I insult people? You're a good friend, Castor." Valerie nodded, "I'm sure some of us will pitch in. We can ask that Demeter girl for some help cooking. Sorry about your losses. You guys are all I've got left, too. I haven't heard from my mom since I first got to OPA. She was never really my mom to begin with."
