To be or not to be (Heroes)

Lexa paused at the… defeat she heard in his voice. What was with this guy? Whenever she thought she had him figured out, he threw a curveball at her. She closed her mouth, looking down at the rumpled blanket covering her legs and pooling around her waist.

"I can barely move," she finally said. "Not like I can do much either." Lexa was quiet for a long moment after that, pulses of pain throughout her body keeping her grounded. He'd been trying to kill her last night. He'd had her chance. And instead he'd brought her back to his home and tried to clean her up. Her eyes flicked back up to see him.

"You keep helping me." Her voice was soft, almost a question. She looked back down. Yesterday when she killed a man for the first time… he'd spoken to her with care. Sympathy, even. There'd been concern in his voice, even though they'd been enemies. He'd taken her out for drinks and consoling after, when she'd been a riled mess, tearstained and bloodstained. And now this. It didn't excuse all the death he was responsible for – not by a long shot. But…

Lexa didn't like this feeling – a murderer sympathizing for her, caring for her like human life had any meaning to him. She didn't like feeling indebted to him. Frustrated confusion stirred under all the exhaustion, though it was a dull, distant thing. She leaned her head back and closed her eyes, giving a quiet sigh.

"So," she said after another long silence. "Why do you wanna kill this guy so bad?" Her eyes were still closed, and she asked it as casually as though it was idle chatter.

Why We Fall

I'm out running errands right now, but in a few hours I'll be home and work on getting a post up. @PhunkyPhoebe you down for some interaction?

We actually had pretty similar ideas lol. The post I was originally writing was the captain one and she was betrayed because she got discovered as a woman in disguise. The bad luck aspect coupled with the deception and a healthy dose of mob mentality got her thrown.

Ok what do you think, a more mature captain betrayed and thrown overboard by her crew, or a younger deck hand who falls in the storm and finds the talisman her captain was hellbent on finding?

To be or not to be (Heroes)

Lexa found Jack just as he cried out. She was momentarily frozen at the sight. He'd been the last person she expected. Was he having a... nightmare? Well, wasn't that a surprise.

Then he finally seemed to wake up and see her. Lexa just stared at him. Then she gave a heavy sigh and leaned back against the headboard with her eyes shut. She was too damn tired to be angry or stunned or worried. Instead she was just exhausted and annoyed.

"You. Of course." she cracked open an eye to give him a half-hearted glare as she tried to piece together last night. She remembered the fight. The bullet. Carrying too many people at once, and then...

She must've blacked out after that. And then what, he took her home and patched her up? The idea was laughable at best.

"The hell am I doing here," she asked in a flat voice.

To be or not to be (Heroes)

Lexa dreamed of quiet warmth, her family sitting together in the living room. Her parents were reading together on the couch, Papa sitting upright as he flipped through a romance novel, Maman draped sideways, her legs hanging over Papa's as she read a crime thriller. Elio was sprawled out on the floor as he played some video game. And Lexa was curled up like a cat, napping on the couch in the corner. It could've been any day of their lives, before their murders.

---

She woke up in a fog, consciousness trickling back to her. She was warm. She was on something soft. Everything hurt. She ached all over, she was still exhausted and there was a sharp throbbing pane centered on her shoulder and spreading through her arm and back.

What the hell had she done to herself?

Lexa cracked an eye open, blinking in the harsh sunlight. After her eyes finally adjusted, she opened them fully. She had no idea where she was.

Shock rang through her and for a moment she was fully awake. Lexa shot up to a sitting position – only to immediately regret it. Exhaustion rammed back into her like a freight train, turning her limbs leaden and sending her head spinning. Pain ricocheted along her bones and muscles in her shoulder, blinding with its intensity. Lexa curled in on herself, eyes squeezed shut against the pain and her right hand clamped down around her hurting shoulder.

A bullet wound. She'd been shot, she recalled distantly.

"Damnit," she hissed out. It'd be healed in a day or two, but it would still hurt like a bitch until then. And she'd have one more scar she couldn't explain.

Lexa forced her eyes open, and released her white-knuckled grip on her shoulder to run a hand through her hair. Her head was still pounding. She froze when her palm came back stained black with hair dye. Looking down, she saw she was still in her dirty, bloody Trick outfit. But her mask was gone. Her heart pounded in her chest. What the hell had happened last night? Was she finally caught?

Her eyes shot up to look around for answers.

working on one now. just figuring out how i want her to wake up.

Mirror, Fox, Key

lmao poor continuity. always the first to fall in rps XD also keep in mind that meryn's trying to get ronken to come with her by pulling on his wrist, but she is a) smaller/weaker than him and b) exhausted from a very long day. so feel free to have ronken not be successfully pulled by her. also for future reference for the most part meryn can be pulled and pushed around for things like this, so feel free~

also i like… don't know shit about architecture or building design? i mean i originally imagined flat roofs, which means it doesn't get cold enough to snow in cogswall which means they might not need chimneys? you'll notice a lot of creative decisions i make for world-building/storytelling logistics are decided on by me saying 'screw it' and doing whatever the hell i want rather than through any actual real-world knowledge. so if i ever do something stupid or whatever because of it feel free to call me out and correct it. especially if it works contrary to what you had in mind when you wrote it! ^.^
