the return of the revenge of just rp it.

how to play.

1. Drop a comment with one or more of your muses. It can be empty if you want me to make a scenario, or you can toss one at me. Prompts are boss. (a word, song, lyric, picture, phrase, a meme prompt, anything). Specify if there's something you do or don't want, otherwise I could throw anything at you: AUs, shippiness, awfulness. You've been warned, son.
1b. If you want to continue a verse we started in another thread somewhere, specify it in the comment or subject line. I'd be down for revisiting any of those.

2. In the subject line, you can specify any of my muses you might want to play with (including OCs, who have their own list), or you can ask me to pick someone. No muses are off-limits except for those that have no icon uploaded on the list. Otherwise, I'll pick or randomize someone.
2b. Muses I would really love to play right now, in case you are having a hard time choosing: Hawke, Hannibal Lecter, Selina Kyle, Fox Mulder, Cigarette Smoking Man, Serafina, Pepper Potts, Lois Lane, Jacen Solo.

3. just rp with me. if something jives really well, maybe we can continue it in another one of these later, sort of like a super casual verse. if it doesn't, it doesn't.

Comments

I lied. I'm doing it from work bc I'm extra trash.

[Never let it be said that this was an easy decision. It may very well have been the hardest decision of Helen's life. She knew that Ashley felt betrayed, that Rose considered her dead and gone because of this choice. Their judgment rested heavily on her shoulders, but it didn't change her resolve.

This was the right choice. For her. She still believed that.

Kiance had left with the Knights. Perhaps it was for the best. Returning to Dashiell's estate, Helen barely spoke a word, lost in her thoughts. As they crossed the threshold, her hand reached out suddenly for his, gripping tightly.]

I'm never going to see them again, am I? [There's no regret in her voice. Just realization. It's difficult to let them go, but she knew she would have to eventually. She was going to outlive them, after all. Maybe this was better. Somehow.]

[ he pauses ahead of her, looking down at her hand, his forehead furrowed. ]

I think if you did, it wouldn't go well for any of us.

[daredtobelieve]

No, I think not. [She takes a deep breath, trying to steady it on the exhale.] Thank you- for letting me return with you. It may bring more trouble to your door- you must know that.

[roux]

I'm prepared for them to come for us. For now, I think it's best if we... do some traveling.

[daredtobelieve]

[She nods her agreement. Disappearing for a time might be best.]

I can have my things packed within the hour if you wish. Do you have anywhere in mind?

[roux]

I thought we might discuss it together, actually.

[daredtobelieve]

Of course. [Despite the words, she does seem a little surprised. She just figured he had some sort of place in mind to disappear to if need be.]

[roux]

I have holdings in a few different places - on almost every continent. I imagine we might wish to leave Europe behind entirely for now.

[daredtobelieve]

North America's quite easy to get lost in, speaking from experience. I made myself a lovely home in Canada for a large span on time before I came through the Veil.

[Running away to Canada isn't at all sexy, Helen. But...no one would probably think to look there for that reason, maybe.]

[roux]

I can't say I've visited Canada in many long years. [ i mean for a reason, but she's right ]

[daredtobelieve]

We can at least start there. Wait until some of the dust settles before we look to... our future.

[She hesitates on the word. Our. Something shared.]

I'm sorry that it's happened like this. You have such a lovely home here.

[roux]

The home will remain, for as long as it takes for their... ire to be quelled. I am certainly not without patience.

[daredtobelieve]

I'm not certain if they'll come after me, or simply consider me dead to them for the rest of their lives.

[She isn't sure which is the more painful option.]

[roux]

Perhaps they'll surprise you, in time. There's only one way to be sure.

[daredtobelieve]

In the meantime, we'll have our own adventure to distract us, I imagine.

[roux]

The world is ours to do as we please. They can't take that from us.

[daredtobelieve]

[The loss lingers at the edges of her heart, as it certainly will for a good long while. But she's resolute in her choice, certain in the life she wants to make with him. Stepping forward, Helen releases his hand to raise hers to cup his cheek.]

No, they can't. And they can't take away how I feel when I'm with you- no matter how hard they may try.

[roux]

[ his hand lifts gently to her wrist, as cold as the cheek she touches. ] Then you've no regrets?
