Fabricant451

B!tchfest: a healthy release for our non-roleplay annoyances.

@Fabricant451 they arent continuity reboots because they dont affect the continuity, when you set films before the original you can keep them as part of the canon without rebooting. Like Fury Road for example or Arkham Origins as a video game example.

@Dynamo Frokane

The new Apes movies aren't set before the original. They are their own thing. Fury Road is a sequel and Arkham Origins is a prequel. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is not going to lead into the original Planet of the Apes movie because it is its own canon and its own franchise with passing references to the originals.

Something like X-Men First Class isn't a reboot. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is.

For Queen and Country

Welp, I wanna sit at the cool kid table so here's a thing. If I missed someone it's probably because I'm lazy and didn't look beyond the lovely people over in the characters tab.

Mariska Costas' Relationships

Mariska Costas

Blake Preston
"Well if nothing else she seems to be doing exactly what she wants to do with her life. What that is I don't know, but I'm not her mother."

I really can't get past her...I hesitate to call it 'style' but the right word is failing me. I've met enough like her to know that she's reaching that age when being the little rebel stops seeming cool. Let's be honest here, it's 2020, flannel stopped being 'in' in the mid 1990s. She seems a bit...temperamental but I have nothing against her. Other than disagreeing with her fashion, but that's a different story.

Daniel Belson
"Pretty face. Ugly habits."

I've had the distinct...pleasure of being around when he was behind the bar and my little ears were burning and it wasn't from all the smoke and hard liquor. I believe he might not be as funny as he believes himself to be, but I'm not going to be the one to tell that to him.

Alistair Queen
"He has the name of a knight in armor and that's all I need to know."

I can't quite confirm it, but my working theory is that he and I dress ourselves for similar reasons. In that we're both wanting to look older than we, well, look. But I'm actually aging and I'm not so sure he is. Landlords don't look like him.

Mariska Costas
"Why hasn't that girl won a Grammy? Or at least a BRIT?"

I'm lovely. I also tell people I'm from Greece because it makes me sound far more cultured.

Nikita Yankovsky
"I'd like to have a rasp-off with her. Because of the voice, you see."

I can't imagine the sort who wouldn't mind being thrown in cuffs so long as she was the officer on site. Lovely sort, but I can't imagine her to ever find love. Something about her just makes me think the romantic life would bore her to tears. And that's tragic.

Mordred Hame
"The Salieri to my Mozart. I respect him as a creative, enough so to let him live with me."

Mordred is a fine friend even if our favored styles of music are diametrically opposed. He might not know it, but I'm a fan of his, not his music exactly but of his success. I wish him well and my door is always open for the strangest collaboration this side of David Bowie and Bing Crosby.

John Taylor
"Some people once said that boys and girls could never be friends. I point to John Taylor and myself."

You'd think someone who wears sweat pants wouldn't be someone I'd want to associate with...but what can I say, he makes a half decent meal. My art is music and his is ink and skin, but art is art and it helped to have that in common. He's a good mate and definitely the best one I've roomed with.

Eve Lumière
"Until I met Eve I thought that my voice was striking. It's not fair. The French have all the best benefits."

She's a lovely sort and I really can't think of anything bad to say about her. Granted we're not exactly close friends, but when you've been around striking individuals as often as I have...you get a sense for these things. And my sense says she's lovely.

Catharine Reid
"I wonder if event planning is anything at all like a talent agency. I've been looking for a manager for decades, and she seems...fierce."

For someone so short the few times I've seen her she's looked like someone carrying a giant chip on her shoulder. I don't know why or what or even where...only that I hope someone takes her by the hand and tells her that everything is fine.

Opallum
"I've seen him around outside the flat and I always wonder if I should spare a few pounds."

I don't have the courage to ask him if he's got a substance problem and that's kind of a rude thing to ask anyway. He seems interesting, in the sense that he's not just another grungy British youth.

Andrew Mordekai
"His cause is noble. I'm not so sure he is."

People like Andrew tire me out. I always suspect the loudest voices in the protest to be the least honest ones, but that's probably because I've been to far too many in my life.

Suriel White
"I'm jealous because Suriel looks better in a suit than I do."

I don't know what neurosurgery is but I do know that Suriel is probably really, really good at bedside manner. It's all in the eyes.

Miles Catrose
"He's the cutest thing. The cutest. And if he heard that he'd probably hate me."

I'd never let him touch my hair. He's like a cute little dog, except he also is the type of dog that would bite you and not let go. So I don't want him plus a pair of scissors anywhere near me.

Yukiko Abe
"She works with John and he's a good judge of character, so she's fine with me. Another artist. I like artists."

I don't know why she hasn't settled down with someone. I'm a fan of romance and it just sort of seems, to me anyway, that she's someone that would've been swept off her feet before now. Maybe I should have her and John meet...but then they work together so if it was going to happen it would've by now. I'm projecting.

Mona
"It's at the Louvre and has been since the late 1700s."

Wait this isn't about the Mona Lisa?

Faron Romane
"He seems like a good kid but I can't say I've seen him anywhere other than in passing."

The biggest takeaway was that he was really tall and that made me feel...not short but...I don't know...small.

Nicolas Black
"I know enough to not want to make him angry, even if the idea of an angry handsome sort has all sorts of wonderful connotations to it."

I have a long standing bet with a friend. My money is on he and Nikita using various rooms of the station for their own highly steamy hook ups. Or maybe that was in a trashy book I skimmed. Nice to think about, though, right?

Maggie Spencer-Adyemi
"She reminds me of a young me, in that I remember a time when I cared about nature too."

She seems to keep to herself which is fine by me. I worry that she's not going to get the true university experience and make a lot of mistakes in the name of experimentation, but she's at that age. Or at least looks like it, hard to tell. No qualms. Would be surprised to see her in a bar.

Megumi
"On principle the only kid I want to know is my own. If I ever get such a gift."

I really have nothing on her. She's too young to even enter the thoughts that go through my head.

Katharine Haynes
"How many baristas are in this town. I'm not sure who Katharine is. Is she the event planner?"

I'm not much for coffee so I guess I don't have anything. Sorry.

Felix Underwood
"I've sort of just put her together with that Maggie girl and the grungy girl in the boots."

Those three sort of pool together in my mind, in the sense that I'm always thinking that they're hooking up. A quiet girl like Maggie and what a librarian? That's like feta cheese on a salad levels of perfect.

Elise Callaghan
"Someone I'd very much like to meet on a professional level. At first, anyway."

A fellow musician and a violinist at that. I don't know if she'd ever be up for a collaboration but my door is always open.

Claire O'Malley
"I don't trust anyone that is a Manchester United fan."

I've made myself clear.

Barachiel Alexander Eamon
"I don't know any Barachiel. I know an Alexander but I don't think it's the same person. Sorry, I don't know half the people I'd like to."

He's got a unique name. I wonder if Suriel knows him. Kinda similar names. Maybe they're related. Or having a fling. Hoping for the latter.

Ethan Cooper
"Sorry, not ringing any bells. I don't really make my way to universities unless they pay me."

I'm sure he's a lovely sort.

Alfie Liau
"I'd give him more business but chocolates and I have had a falling out."

My reasons are shallow, but I've pictured him and that cute hair stylist together since the day I made the mistake and thought they were the same person. Sometimes all it takes to make a connection is a similar style.

Astrid Kitchener
"I like the bistro she works at. They do a good, crisp salad. Haven't really gotten a lot of words out of her, but she's unique enough that I can put the name to a face."

My heart goes out to the young people that do thankless jobs for cash they desperately need. I hope she's enjoyed the tips.

Michael Harel
"Nice to look at, but he'd be more so if he put more effort into his clothing style. If I'm talking about appearances it's because it's all I've got."

Whenever I find myself at his record store it's specifically to shop. My interactions with him have been of the 'here's some money for this Ella Fitzgerald record that I now own seven copies of'.

Aila Atleo
"I've seen her around, sometimes just in passing...mostly so...and every time I have to ask myself if I should start working out more. Or at all. To be young and fit. Use whatever definition of fit you'd like."

She works down at the station, right? I'm waiting for the day I see her out with Nikita or Nicolas so that I can add another face to my list of 'people that should be hooking up with each other'.

Stefani Roche
"Also works with John, so I bet he's elated to have those coworkers. Or not, she seems kinda young. But she definitely uses that youth to her advantage, or if she isn't then she really should."

I'm not sure if we have anything in common but she seems, and I don't use this word lightly, cool. As cool as the young people can be, anyway. The friend of my friend is also my friend to be.

I did a thing

Nixie

The one word that was constantly at the front of her mind was a simple, curt, 'unacceptable'. It entered her mind with the recent knowledge that she would be ascending to the surface world to mingle and mix with the grounders, humans and the like, on what was said to be a diplomatic mission. Diplomacy was hardly in Nixie's skillset, which was already a short list to begin with, and her feelings on the people who treated water and those that lived within water as their personal dumping grounds was anything but, well, polite. And yet her hands were tied. Her life of luxury and laze was all but over; though if she was going to survive amongst the paupers and commoners, she would have to get fancy. Creative.

She gave herself a month before the others were catering to her every whim.

The clear blue lake began to bubble and ripple as movement stirred beneath it. Perks of being an aquatic kin was knowing the waterways and routes of travel, just another in a long list of perks Nixie was afforded from birth. On the surface of the lake an ethereally blue head poked up and slowly continued to rise, revealing the royal daughter in all her unpleased glory. Her hands were crossed and her lip was turned downward in a scowl. Her dress had an aquatic sheen to it, and the lace hangings were moving as if they had a mind of their own; being tentacles that was just how they worked. Nixie's feet were bare and were being lifted above water and onto the land by a gathering of jellyfish. The royal treatment to the end.

As she stepped onto the shore, leaving a wet footprint as the pale limb added some dirt and grass before the dirty specks were washed away by her slick skin, she shook her head disapprovingly. "What is this...cold, blowing thing? It is making my dress move out of position. Tut tut...unacceptable." The wind was rather new for the princess and she decided that she hated it. Nixie spoke with an arrogant tone to her lilting voice, as if the tongue itself was offensive to her ears.

"Ah, that must be the supposed intelligent life," Nixie said as her eyes spotted a bounding white rabbit. "Such a small thing, it is a wonder your kind has done such harm to my home. HALT, I say, and answer for you numerous crimes!" Nixie held out her palm and adopted as big an authoritative voice as she could muster.

But the rabbit paid her no mind and continued hopping along, engaging in its far more interesting cat and mouse game.

Being ignored? Strike one. Faster than Nixie expected.
