6. do they believe suffering is necessary (gabby)

gabby 5+ years ago (elena) vs gabby now would have different answers to that.

elena thinks that other people's suffering is unnecessary and cruel, but she herself is willing to suffer if it means she can save someone she cares about.

gabby is still willing to suffer for the ones she loves, but she's also grown to believe that other people (specifically the ones who wronged her and her family, and those who hurt innocent citizens) have to suffer to the same magnitude as they have hurt others. she developed an eye for an eye mentality recently moreso out of desperation to escape her situation than anything else.

29. what is their breaking point? ( selda )

she's already been broken for a while but what would really be the turning point and would cause her to take truly desperate measures would be permanently losing ead and hermes disowning her completely. either of those things alone would be enough to make her lose her mind to the point of no return. her biggest driving force is guilt and righting her past wrongs, so being left behind would mean there's no point in doing any of that since it would destroy what little self worth she has left. her lover's death pushed her pretty close to that already, but for now she's still going.

she's also kind of angry at the world and wants revenge on the priory for everything they've done, but she still has her compassion and love for people and would never willingly do something that could potentially hurt innocents. being completely broken would mean that revenge would be the only thing on her mind and nothing else would really matter.

toreador to toreador communication @decaeys

camilla scanned her surroundings curiously as she waited for nova. everything felt so different now. the life she had before felt like another reality completely. and most interestingly of all, she did not particularly miss it. her parents never treated her like their own daugther, even gave have her a separate apartment with a caterer a few years back when she had turned eighteen just so they could stop being responsible for the girl they carelessly brought into this world. they barley even mourned rafael's supposed death so camilla was certain they had forgotten about her too.

admittedly, she felt sad when she realized that she likely won't ever be missed by her parents, but at this point she knew not to expect anything better. besides, her unlife was shaping out to be better than her actual life had been. people actually cared about her, ot at least it seemed that way. and her brother was present too, though he had warned her not to interact with him because of that whole sabbat thing, but at least he was there. the only thing she couldn't really have from her previous life was her (still mortal) friend joana, but camilla never really cared about the rules. she will reach out to her again one day when she learned how to control the beast.

some time later she finally noticed nova and wasted no time in running directly over to her. she must have been a little faster than normal considering the things she was able to do now, but she doubted anyone would notice in a crowded club. or at least she hoped they wouldn't.

"so, what's the plan? please tell me shopping is included because i really need to buy some fabrics for that dress i wanna make. i have such a cute design in mind." she immediately began talking her ears off.

epic starter for @chaotide

elena was used to the occasional difficult tasks. one more job shouldn't have mattered. go there, do some recon, then return with the information. it really wasn't the end of the world, even though her objective was in the azurite ward. so then why did she feel so nervous and on edge? she'd been doing this kinda work for a while now and it was really just routine at this point. besides, she owed it to raven for taking her in when she had no family left. her loyalty to them was unquestionable and unbreakable.

still, she needed to gather her thoughts. she stepped outside the base and sat down for a smoke because her nerves were completely shot. thank god i'm not working for some corporation, she thought to herself as she observed some of the corpo buildings in the distance. sure, she was stressed about some of the jobs she got here, but it was something she liked and actively wanted to do. oh, how she pitied the fools who slaved away at their corpo job every day. she took solace in knowing that it could never be her.

once done contemplating, her head felt a little more clear but the stress about the next day day wasn't going to go away and she knew that. no matter, she had to move on as she still had other things to do today. elena quickly glanced at her phone as she was ready to get up and go inside. 4:43 pm. there was still some time for her to think. she put her phone away and reached for another cigarette when she noticed that fury just stepped outside. elena was actually greatful that she bumped into one of the seals because she had a lot on her mind about the upcoming day and badly needed someone to talk to.

"want a smoke?" she asked as she approached him, holding a pack of cigarettes in her hand. she didn't remember if he was a smoker or not, but she almost always instinctively offered a smoke to whoever she was talking to. elena could only hope that her nervousness that day wasn't too noticable as she preferred to be seen as someone who's cool as a cucumber and never too worried about anything.

continued from discord with @voraclty

Babylon was too far gone by now to notice any nuance in Calico's voice. Whatever she said, Babs was taking as gospel. Even if she did notice anything off about her partner's attitude she was in no position to do anything about it even if she did. Perhaps it was better for both of them if she remained ignorant, lest they end up in a fight that neither of them could possibly win.

"You sure?" she paused on the food question for just a moment longer as Calico decided to look for a blanket. "I'm warm right now, but I could snuggle up under a blanket with you any day." The redhead grinned at her, but made no effort to stop her as she then moved to order as much food as her drunken mind could think of. Burrito, milkshake, fries, cookies, donuts... maybe Calico would want something for later... a pizza they could eat cold if she didn't. Babs scanned her face with her phone, sending off the payment without a hint of remorse for the huge sum that disappeared into the hands of some corporate bastard.

She'd earned enough tonight, surely she deserved a treat for everything she'd done.

"Oh, could you bring Milky with you while you're at it?" Milky was a toy cow that Babs had treated herself to after she'd left the facility. Its giant soft udders made a great pillow, and the shape of the giant toy was big enough for them both to cuddle with on the sofa.

Once she was satisified with her requests she woke the TV up and told it exactly what she wanted to watch: that action movie with the bald guy, no, not that one, the other bald guy, yeah yeah this, ok, pause until Calico comes back. The AI chimed back in understanding, and Babs let herself lay back across the sofa with her feet up while she waited for her lover to return from the war (their bedroom).

[voraclty]

"Yeah, I'm good." Calico gave her a short response. Surely, not eating for one night won't raise any suspicions about her newfound supernatural condition. As for keeping it hidden forever... that's for future Calico to worry about. After Babs' remark, she grinned back at her without even realizing that she was exposing her very obvious fangs. She then finally headed off towards the bedroom to fetch the items required for progressing the quest.

As she heard Babs yell from the other room, Calico quickly picked up Milky as well and returned not seeing where she's going behind the blanket and the massive plushie before sitting down on the couch next to her. Any and all jealousy she felt after her partner returned late tonight was put in the back of her mind for now, but knowing herself it would likely resurface again sooner than later. Babs' outings were something that had to be discussed, but Calico wasn't going to get into a fight with a drunk woman. She covered them both with the blanket and cuddled up with her and the plushie before turning her attention to what was on the TV. It was a godawful movie, but it was either that or one of the million infomercials that aired at that hour.

"So, there's..." Calico suddenly spoke up after a while, but stopped before she could finish her sentence. The concerns she had - about both herself and Babs - resurfaced again and she had to make a conscious effort to stop herself from talking about it. Shut up before you fuck it all up, she thought to herself.

"Uh... never mind." She finally added and hoped that Babs would simply leave it at that. Neither of them were in the right mental state to talk about anything serious. Just a nice girls night. Grim conversations can wait until the morning.
