jasper :

𝐋𝐎𝐂𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 : arkadia 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐎𝐃 : present 𝐓𝐀𝐆𝐆𝐈𝐍𝐆 : @wickinthewild​

“ 𝐈𝐅 𝐘𝐎𝐔’𝐑𝐄 𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐌𝐎𝐍𝐓𝐘 i don’t wanna know, ”   jasper grumbles,   avoiding wick’s gaze.   yeah,   he knows how close they are;    he also knows that wick called jasper’s former best friend his boy monty as if the other delinquent didn’t help with the massacre of everyone in mount weather,   including the girl he loved.    “ tell him to talk to me when he figures out how to raise the dead. ”    in other words,   never.    “ he’s bellamy’s golden boy.   should be able to figure it out. ”

Wick looked at Jasper with a bit of confusion.  he doesn’t really know jasper that well and he definitely doesn’t know what exactly happened between jasper and monty.  he seemed upset as hell and wick didn’t really feel like getting caught up in whatever happened , but he also couldn’t see jasper hurting like this.  even though they weren’t close, they were in this shit together now and everyone needs to be their best or shit could get out of hand . he was actually looking for someone to help him with something, but jasper didn’t seem like he would be in the mood for it . 

‘ bellamy’s golden boy huh , gold isn’t that great in my opinion anyway “ he says with a smile, hoping to lighten the mood a bit.  “ it’s valuable yes, but there are better alternatives to use “ he tries to catch jasper’s gaze but he is looking away. “ I know we aren’t tight “ he starts “ but if you feel like talking about what happened or basically anything in general , let me know he “ he finishes  “ you know where to find me right? “ he stares at jasper, awaiting an answer . he is pretty sure jasper doesn’t really like him, but the best he can do is offer to listen . “ also if you want to get your mind of things , I could use a hand with something “ he tries.

TOAST SANDWICH:

𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐒 𝐋𝐀𝐔𝐆𝐇𝐒,   𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐔𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐘 𝐋𝐀𝐔𝐆𝐇𝐒,    when wick jokes about them practically being engaged.    she can’t help the smile on her face,   either,   as she lowers her gaze quickly and grins.    is this what it’s like to be around him?   infectious smiles and pretty good awful jokes?    if so,   she’s going to have to come and hang out in engineering more often.    maybe she could learn something,   right?    maybe she could actually do something helpful?    monty hangs around here half the time so she’s got more than enough reason to visit.

“ stopppp, ”   vee groans,   the sound of a girl who never actually got to be a teenager,   “ you’re going to make me hungry.   like,   starving hungry. ”    she follows him anyway,    listening as the doors to engineering hiss shut behind them.   “ what’s your favourite kind of sandwich,   anyway?   you seem like a typical pb&j kind of guy to me. ” 

he turns to look at her with eyes that light up like a fireworks . “ pb&j man, I love that , I also used to add a lil bit of salt to get that perfect sweet and salty combo “ -- venus is kinda like that , sweet and salty at the same time -- his mouth starts to water at the thought of it.  “ I haven’t had that in soooo long ! “  he is visibly excited -- but that excitement will soon die down cause he knows that they won’t have what he is craving so bad right now in the mess hall . They reach the mess hall and it smells not that great okay in there. Seems like it’s some sort of stew on the menu today, which is not what he had hoped for . 

while walking to a table with his stew he almost trips but manages to not drop anything .  he quickly composes himself and tries to brush it off  “ woops , sorry I am a bit stewpid today “ he grins at the silly pun he made while seeking for a hint of a reaction of venus .

TREE GIRL·:

space. safira raised an eyebrow at the stranger, who undoubtedly, was getting stranger by every moment that he spoke. he kept talking, so safira opened her eyes and sat forward in the tree, swinging her legs over the side to face him but not yet hopping down from her perch. his forehead was bleeding, somehow he’d managed to not only hit the ground but collided with something else while down there as well. he was awfully clumsy to be alone in the woods. 

as he threw his hand out towards her, the blonde just looked unimpressed. what was he attempting to do, with her all the way up here in the tree? “you seem unprepared to be out here alone.” she remarked, crystal eyes scanning the area around them. she ignored how he provided her with his name, for he had done nothing to earn hers in return. 

he lowered his hand cause she didn’t seem to be coming out of her tree to take the hand anyway.  “ I was just having a stroll “ he answers her sarcasticly , she was right, he was unprepared to be here -- where was here even -- he looked around him as to find something to identify where he had wandered off to. his head was throbbing by now so the fall must have been harder than he thought at first.  he looked up at the girl again -- why the hell was she even up there in a tree in the first place 

“ well it was lovely meeting you here on this fine afternoon , tree girl “ he starts “ I have to ... go home and uhm ... feed my fish “ . feed my fish , damn how hard did he hit his head? after this he starts to make his way back to camp? -- more like where he thinks camp is -- and almost trips on the same damn root again.  clumsy idiot , the world suddenly starts spinning as he only just manages to stay upright and not fall again    “ you know what, I am just going to sit here for a bit instead “  he states as he plops down on the ground propped up against a tree.

professional thing holder :

𝐓𝐑𝐔𝐓𝐇𝐅𝐔𝐋𝐋𝐘, 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐒 𝐃𝐎𝐄𝐒𝐍'𝐓 mind helping wick at all.    he’s granted her the rare opportunity to actually feel useful,    something which venus has been longing for ever since she healed from her wounds under the mountain.    “ well,   you didn’t have me before, ”    venus quips,    eyes glancing over his features.    she recognises wick’s face from there,    but she won’t dare bring it up.    not how he had thrashed when they went to take raven.    venus had been next,    strapped to the bed at the other end of the room—

she blinks at him when he asks if she wants to go to the mess hall with him.    he wants to go somewhere?   with her?   when was the last time someone had invited her anywhere without the sole purpose of backup in the case of near-certain death?    venus can’t help the small smile that slips onto her lips.   “ really?   to the mess hall?   with me?    sure. ”    

does wick know about her struggle with friends?   likely not.   how could he?   he has no idea how much a simple invitation means to her,   evidently.    mockingly,   venus leans back and gasps before she grins.    “ does this make us best friends now,   wick? ”

he notices that she looks kind of surprised he asked her to go with him, and he is sure he saw a tiny smile, it’s cute, but he can’t help but think about why she reacted like that.  it’s like she hasn’t had a genuine request like this in a while.  “ best friends? I thought we were practically engaged by now ? “ he jokes and tries his best to sound offended by her saying they were just best friends. 

he hasn’t talked to a lot of people since returning from the mountain , he had spent most of his days holed up in the workroom trying to get his mind of the mystery that was his relationship – if you can even call it that -- with Raven at the moment.  the mountain changed everything, changed everyone.  it seemed that everyone who came back – the ones not in a body bag – were broken by the events there, either mentally or physically, or both – and so was he , mentally  --  venus was there too, he knows that . was she just as broken as the others?  she seemed pretty okay, but so did he on the outside .

“ Let’s go! I am really craving a sandwich right now  ” he says with his mouth slightly smirking as he turns around to head out the door to the mess hall.

scfira​:

the trees were quiet. peaceful. even in the cold, safira enjoyed the calm of listening to the leaves rustle around her. for once, she wasn’t hunting or gathering, though she never really stopped gathering  ━ she was just relaxing. or, at least, she was trying to. until she heard footsteps below her. disrupting her peace. following shortly behind the footsteps, she heard the sound of someone falling onto the ground. clearly, this induvial was clumsy.

the blonde opened her eyes and looked down, seeing a man, peeling himself off the forest floor. at his remark, she scoffed and rolled her eyes, leaning back onto the tree trunk. “quite the same as down there, though i didn’t just fall flat on my face like a babe learning to walk.” safira remarked. “i bet it’s quite colder to you now. hm?”

--

this stranger was witty and joking around so wick felt a bit less threatened .  “ I am still not used to roots that can trip you ” he says “ space doesn’t have tripping hazards ” he didn’t know this woman – girl – she doesn’t look very old yet . grounder?  clanmember?  why is she all alone in the woods?  but yeah why was he alone in the woods?   

he suddenly tastes blood. when he wipes his forehead he feels that that’s where the blood is coming from. it seems like there is a gash in his forehead from the fall. he must have scratched it on a branch or something. he wipes his hand clean on his shirt and looks up at the girl again.

“ I am wick by the way “ he says and sticks his hand out in a motion to shake hers.  she is up in a tree idiot how is she going to shake your hand from a distance -- you also just gave your name to a stranger who might want to murder you – but technically, if she wanted to do that, she would have already done so.

[wickinthewild]

skaihonon​:

𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐒 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐄𝐒 𝐀𝐓 𝐖𝐈𝐂𝐊 𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐍 as he bursts into laughter.    whatever he finds so funny about his joke,   it hasn’t translated.    “ riiiiiight, ”    she nods slowly from her position across a workbench in the middle of the room.    all she’d come to ask was when he’d be done with being so noisy in here ( why did her quarters have to be so close to the work rooms? ) and she’d been roped into helping him with something.    if venus was meaner or simply in a bad mood,    she might have refused.    but she didn’t.

“ anyway, ”    venus sighs,    “ as cool as a sandwich maker sounds,    let’s get this over with.    you wanted me to hold this…   thing? ”    man,   she really knows nothing about engineering,   huh?   at least a spare pair of hands doesn’t need wick’s knowledge too. 

WICK HAS TROUBLE READING THE GIRL . all he knows is that his silly joke went right over her head.  that’s not a good way to make friends, he thinks to himself.   “ yeah you just have to hold that thing in place so I can manage to screw it into the right position ”   he explains    “ I have been trying that for almost an hour now but I was lacking an extra pair of hands ”  .  he wonders why the girl even showed up in the workroom in the first place. she really has no idea as to what all these things are it seems.

with the thing in place he starts screwing it in and even though there are 10 screws to put in place, he is finished in like 10 minutes.  “  all done! finally! ” he looks at her to see some sort of reaction. “ thanks for helping me out, without it I would have still been struggling probably “ . he starts cleaning up the workroom a bit cause Sinclair would beat his ass if he saw all the components laying around like this. “ would you like to go grab something to eat from the mess hall maybe? “ he tries, cause he feels like he has to make up for something . he doesn’t know venus that well so he has absolutely no idea how she will respond, hell he doesn’t even know if she actually tolerates his existence  . it’s worth a shot I guess

[ ⚖️ ] how does your muse feel about their job? what’s their dream career?

how does your muse feel about their job? what’s their dream career? wick is a born engineer, quite literally. he rolled into the job because of his parents. now that he is jacapo’s apprentice, he sometimes feels like this is too much for him. on one hand he would love to become the next chief engineer, on the other hand, he knows that since returning from the mountain, he is anything but focused on the job. as for his dream career, he hasn’t really known anything else than engineering so it always felt like the right thing to do. when he was younger he wanted to follow in his parents’ footsteps, but these days, he is not so sure anymore. engineering is fun, but with these minimal resources on earth, it is more challenging than he likes it to be. he wonders what else he could be doing if he wasn’t an engineer. but since he is needed in arkadia and has certain responsibilities, he is reluctant to bring this up with jacapo. but the longing for adventure is leaving a hole in his heart.

[ 👻 ] does your muse have regrets? what are some of their deepest ones?

does your muse have regrets? what are some of their deepest ones?

wick doesn’t regret a lot of things, he likes to believe he stands for everything he does and says. the things he regrets the most though, are the things he didn’t / doesn’t say. he isn’t so great at expressing his feelings and would rather joke around and be sarcastic about them, instead of actually expressing how he feels. he never told his parents he loved them, and he feels like that will haunt him forever.

[wickinthewild]

[ 👨‍🏫 ] how much does your muse care about image? how would they react if something personal got leaked about them?

how much does your muse care about image? how would they react if something personal got leaked about them? wick doesn’t really care about his own image. if people don’t like him, that’s their loss. he knows his own worth and if people can’t see that, he won’t bother with it. if something personal got leaked about him, he would try to minimize the “damage” by quickly explaining the actual facts and not leaving any room for the others’ own interpretation of his personal life, but this wouldn’t make him less upset about the fact that something personal got leaked. if this personal information had something to do with someone he cares about or involves someone else in general, he would be annoyed cause it is not his place to talk about others. wick believes in privacy and feels like personal details are up to yourself to tell others. he is an open book because of this, because everything you tell people yourself, can’t be used against you.

“This… what is this?”

Random dialogue starter

Wick turns around and sees venus standing next to a device in the corner of the room. “ that , euhm, good question ” wick gets up from what he is doing and moves to the device so he can actually see what venus is referring to.

it’s an old piece of equipment from the ark that he and sinclair were working on. the point was to create some sort of communication device so everyone could keep in touch. it had to function like a server for all communication. but it wasn’t working the way it should so they shoved it in the corner and forgot about it. she doesn’t look dumb, but she also looks like she doesn’t know much about engineering, he thinks, I can roll with this .

He pretends to suddenly remember what it was and exclaims “ ah isn’t it obvious, that’s a device that can make you a really good sandwich! ” . he looks at her in amusement and continues “ yeah you just plop in whatever food you have and it makes you a sandwich ” . he tries to sound as serious as he can, but can’t help to crack a smile. “want me to make you one” he asks before bursting out in laughter.

[ 🌺 ] what is your muse’s relationship with their parents? are there specific things they like/dislike about them?

what is your muse’s relationship with their parents? are there specific things they like/dislike about them? His parents are the ones that taught him everything so he looked up to them a lot. his dad could be really strict and demanding, but this made him only work harder and do better his best. the fact that his mom on the other hand was always very patient and calm, evened it out. he used to dislike his dad sometimes for being like this but when he got older he realized that this only toughened him. he also definitely got his sarcasm from his mom, who liked to poke fun at his dad when he was being strict to him. his mom used to put the pencil she was using in her mouth when focusing so all his pencils where chewed off at the end and he didn't like this one bit. they weren't perfect, even far from it, but he loved them anyway.

[wickinthewild]

[ 🪀 ] what was your muse’s childhood like? how did their upbringing affect them?

what was your muse’s childhood like? how did their upbringing affect them? born on the ark as the son of 2 engineers. his mom and dad were always very busy with work but didn’t want to leave him alone so they took him with them while working. that way he helped them from a young age. this started with handing them tools and slowly developed in him engineering things himself. when he got old enough to be left alone, he sometimes went to play with the other kids, but it mostly ended up with him back at the Arrow Station to work on some random projects. he had a loving childhood and this made him a very thoughtful person. he will always consider the other persons feelings and loves to help others where he can, especially if it has anything to do with engineering. now that he thinks back on it he does feel like he hasn't really been a child and had to grow up really fast. maybe that's why he likes to mess around and joke all the time, to make up for the lost time as a child.

LOCATION : the forest TIME PERIOD : few weeks after the mountain

The last few days, even weeks, have been weird to say the least. after returning from the mountain, nothing has been the same. kyle had been working on a new project together with Sinclair, but he couldn’t help but feel this gnawing feeling in his chest. that’s why he decided to go for a walk in the forest that surrounds Arkadia to clear his mind. he doesn’t know how long he had been walking when suddenly he tripped over something and face-planted into ground.

get it together Wick, he thought while getting up. when he was on his feet again he realized that he doesn’t recognize where he was anymore. how far did I wander off, he thought. it’s quiet here, a bit too quiet. he quietly took in his surroundings and noticed someone staring right at him from up in a tree. he felt around in his pockets for something to defend himself with but couldn’t find anything. “ How’s the weather up there? ” he sarcastically asked the stranger hoping that the person wouldn’t feel that he was actually kind of scared.
