Child At Heart, Monster By Nature (A Shape Shifting RP)

[silkiecuddles]

(Let me know if anyone wants to RP with any of my peeps. I think I have some open, or partially open. Also Nicky let me know if you want to bring Alastor back down at any point for Eliana. )

(Who've you got? Sam will be coming down for blood soon, FYI )

(Well Liam is still in the the gym getting dressed then he will be heading down to the lab me thinks. Harper is chilling in the gym, she has to be there to supervise Irine, but while she and Priam are sparring she is essentially open. Eliana is in her cell, but she is open. And Amara at the school is open, as well as Elijah. )

Iris listened patiently, she was a good listener, and which was a trait she was proud of. After hearing her out, she responded, putting herself in Atalanta’s position “Hmmm, yeah, that must be annoying. I guess that’s just how he’s wired, to be a bit more secretive.” She paddled her feet backwards leisurely, floating backwards slowly.

Victor looked at her. He sensed every morsel of doubt and fear and confusion. And he knew how it was to be trapped like she was. He whispered softly “Please talk to me. It’s all trapped in there, you have to let it out.”

"He thinks it's a good thing, that it's better that way," Atalanta said, bitterness edging her voice. "But despite that and his overly protectiveness, I do love him. Jerk." She laughed.

Lucy stood up abruptly to walk to the wall and back, matching her quick pace to her anxious thoughts. "The labs," She said, spinning on her heel to face him. "I was there my entire life. You know what it was like; you yourself were a resident for numerous years. It was awful, some days, but it's all I had. All I ever knew, and it was what I had to call home. You can't just pluck someone from that and drop them in a new place and expect them to keep their sanity." She braced the flat of her palms against the small tabletop, stared hard at the wall across. She lowered her voice. "Victor, I'm going to go mad being here. All those years spent in tests and training, sitting here on my butt reading textbooks is tortue. I can't go back to him, but I can't go out either." She closed her eyes and sighed deeply. She wasn't making much sense, even in her own head, but spitting fragments was better than letting them rip her apart on the inside.

Areum smiled thankfully as he opened the door for her. She waited for him to come in, before holding his hand once again, walking with him to go eat.

Rowan let her hold his hand until they got to the dining room and he needed it to get a plate and food.

Iris laughed back, amused by Atalanta’s queer situation with her brother and her reactions towards it.

Victor realized he couldn’t leave, or she would most likely go crazy. He stood up, standing in front of her, looking her square in the eyes. His expression was one of caring, the want to comfort. He had never really cared too much, he had buried it beneath him. But she wasn’t like that, and for all he knew it was better that way. He reached out and gave her a soft and loose hug, in case she wasn’t comfortable with it, but also giving the option to press tighter. He whispered “Its been hard. But know that I will be here for you throughout all of our time here in this inferno.”

Rowan let her hold his hand until they got to the dining room and he needed it to get a plate and food.

Areum did the same, serving herself whatever she saw fit, and high honestly wasn’t much. She was rather picky with her food choices. She met up with Rowan after her selection, letting him pick the table.

William was surprised by the hug but hugged her in return smiling down at her. "Its ok I was joking too, I know you didn't mean anything by it. You turn." He said as he picked up the ball and handed it too her.

Leah smiled up at him, her freckles staining the canvas of her face. She took the ball, shooting it immediately. She giggled as it went in, she smiled piled start toying with him a bit.

Atalanta flicked her hand through the water, splashing Iris. "What about you? You said you had no siblings, if I remember rightly. Did you have anyone?" Her question was straightforward, slightly inconsiderate, probably, but she never liked toying with words.

Lucy leaned into the embrace, grateful for it and Victor's friendship. His words were light and comforting in her ear; how far she would let them affect her she wasn't quite sure. "Thank you," she murmured. She could feel his back, thin but strong beneath her nails, and was all too aware of the few steps necessary to end his life. Not that she would; certainly not. It shamed her to even be having that thought. But the last time she'd let anyone that physically close wasn't for comforting embraces.

Rowan picked a table where they could see the room then taking a seat to eat with her.
