WHO ARE YOU IN THIS HAUNTED HOUSE STORY ?
THE MOTHER
You pour everything you have left into those you love. Desperately, frantically you try to fix what is broken, but the cracks spread faster than you can mend. If only you can hold everyone together, then things might just be okay! However, you only have two hands and all anyone seems to do is pull away. Everyone is different now, even you, and pretending not to see it isn’t making anything better. You see the signs of things going wrong, of what is but should not be, and you try to warn them. You love with every fiber of your being, but try as you might, you cannot make them understand. They don’t listen, no one ever listens.

what tragic horror character trope are you?
THE ONE WHO OPENED THE DOOR.
you turn the door handle. you call out, "who's there?" and the crowd has the audacity to groan, to get frustrated with you. as if the gift of hindsight was something you had. how the hell were you supposed to know you were born into a horror movie? no one bothered to tell you. say, if instead this was an action film, or a fantasy, would they still be telling you how silly of a mistake it was to press further on your quest? they would've commended you for your bravery. you thought you were going to be saving a princess in a tower, not getting stabbed in the back by a killer in the shadows. how is that fair? it isn't, and none of that was ever your fault. it is not wrong to believe things are good. your trust, your optimism, it shouldn't ever be mistaken for ignorance or stupidity. we need more people who open doors. how else are any of us gonna move forward?

let's do a weird headcanon thing .
WHAT THEY SMELL LIKE : rory almost always has some form of coffee scent clinging to her, a sweet & spice of cinnamon and nutmeg along with the warmth of coffee beans. her favorite body cream smells like the ocean, in the morning when the air is clear and the wind picks up with the a salty smell tinged with a fresh scent of morning dew. like her style, her perfume is understated but noticeable. everything about the way rory smells exudes warmth and inviting-ness, so her perfume reflects that. some powdery, floral scent, a mixture of lily of the valley and sandalwood cover up the scent of antiseptic and latex gloves, nicotine and tobacco on her fingers.
HOW THEY SLEEP ( sleeping position , schedule , etc ) : rory sleeps curled up on her side, knees tucked close to her chest. usually, she’s hugging a pillow close to her chest, while the other keeps the sheets wrapped tightly around her, in the middle of the bed. when the weather is warm she only sleeps in a loose shirt and underwear, but when it’s cold she probably layers up underneath a heavy blanket because rory can’t stand the cold and her apartment doesn’t have good heating. due to the nature of her job ( most of her jobs across the verses ) , rory sleeps when she needs to, and usually catches around 4-5 hours, if she’s lucky. she doesn’t get a lot of nightmares but when she’s anxious she does wind up falling asleep late and waking up the same time she does. her constant caffeine intake also contributes to a diminishing sleep quality. she’s a morning person, and likes to be up before the sun is out, so it works out for her.
WHAT MUSIC THEY ENJOY : rory likes a lot of folksy and acoustic music, but also a lot of show tunes and musicals as well. she has the vocal range so if she can sing it and sound good in it she probably likes it. there are definitely a few guilty pleasure out of usual genre favourites here and there but most music is usually mostly background noise or part of a running playlist to fill the silence, more than anything.
HOW MUCH TIME THEY SPEND EVERY MORNING GETTING READY : because rory is a morning person, she wakes up earlier and takes her time. after a morning run she is usually never in a rush, takes her time getting the shower and her ritualistic morning coffee brew out of the way. she doesn’t actually spend time getting dressed or dolled up, and even then it usually doesn’t take her longer than thirty minutes before she’s out the door. since she commutes to work, she needs to be early. ( especially if she uses her bike )
FAVORITE THING TO COLLECT : in verses when she’s been sober, she collects sobriety chips. they’re reminders of how far she’s come, or of her relapses. she also collects seashells from her visits to the beach, one of her favorite spots. she has a little jar of seashells of various shapes and sizes stowed on one of her shelves.
LEFT OR RIGHT HANDED : right handed.
FAVORITE SPORT(S) : bowling. she doesn’t look like she can pick up a bowling ball bit she has perfected her technique. a prized member of any bowling league.
FAVORITE TOURISTY THING TO DO WHEN TRAVELLING : rory’s not traveled much but i imagine she’ll want to do something she’s familiar with and already enjoys. try the local coffee, go to the beach, maybe even go on a food tour.
FAVORITE KIND OF WEATHER : rory prefers warmer to colder weather. her favourite would be spring, when the hint of coolness is still in the air but the sun’s warmed up the weather and everything smells and looks so fresh and renewed once the biting coldness has thawed. she can even feel her powers rejuvenate, and her own energy levels improve as the cold goes away.
WEIRD / OBSCURE FEAR THEY HAVE : rory hates looking through peepholes on doors. she has had a growing fear of finding someone there if she looked, so she doesn’t looked. she also hates the hall of mirrors, whenever it skews how she looks like. she just can’t look at it too long.
THE CARNIVAL / ARCADE GAME THEY ALWAYS WIN WITHOUT FAIL : her aim with a gun might be awful but she’s made so many kids happy at the carnival by winning them the biggest toy at the water gun stall. wack-a-mole also is very therapeutic for her. she may be letting out her frustrations on that one too literally.

WHERE DOES FEAR RESIDE IN YOUR BODY ?
IN YOUR CHEST
your fear grips your chest with its icy fist. a suffocating anxiety that makes your heart shrink and your lungs hurt with every breath... yes, you will probably have problems with these organs in the future. but you don´t care. quite the opposite - you want to be punished. you feel paralyzed and weak. you've never been so small and your fears - so big. you know you're worried about something unimportant. the truth is you're just pathetic. but you're not gonna show that, right? you distract yourself with whatever, you try to numb yourself and become incapable of feelings - everything but face your fear. you even interact with people around you when you have to. don't worry, they won't notice anything. only the most astute people will see in your tired, languid movements and your lack of concentration that your mind is somewhere else, and your vital energy is slowly dying a white death in its icy cage... let me guess, you probably have anxiety, and it's probably because of trauma. you yearn to be free, to live bravely, but you never quite succeed. i feel the same, buddy. please understand that whatever you went through, your fear protected you from it. when you don't need it anymore, don't blame yourself or push it down; say goodbye to it like an old friend.

rory arms are wound tightly around her knees as she gazes out the tearful skies, curled into the window seat as the winter’s gloom effectively brings her very much down as well. that’s when music interrupts her overcast trance and suddenly @gunbash is tugging her hand away from her secured lock, ❝ bash, what are you ... ❞ she lets herself get pulled up from the seat only to roll her eyes when he pulls her close, ❝ babe, i can’t dance, you’re taking a very big risk with your toes right now .. ❞ she warns but she can’t her as the reluctance dissolves into a laugh and she leans up a little on the tips of her toes to match his steps.
at first she’s so focused on making sure she doesn’t actually step on his feet, so focused she doesn’t even realize how close they’ve gotten until she lifts her head and his breath falls on her lips. somewhere in the background the music softens and she brings her arms up to wrap around his neck, keep them as close as possible as they sway in tune with the piano key. somehow the sound of the rain is not so gloomy anymore, and she’s so awed by the feeling of love that washes over her. they’ve certainly come a long way, haven’t they ? she feels it bubble up inside her chest, those three, very, very dangerous words that threaten to spill over and instead she presses her lips up to his, breathing out a wispy, ❝ thank you ..❞ against his lips as she smiles.

what would rory do if seb just... picked her up
the swift motion is dizzying, and rory's high-pitched squeals are quickly muffled when she grasps his shoulders for any kind of balance, like somehow she would be so easily whipped out of his arms by how light she felt in his grip, ❝ don't you dare drop me, moran. ❞ she warns despite her ceaseless giggles as she holds a palm over her brows, ❝ damn. i can see my place from here. ❞

meme reply ( accepting ) // send 💗 to kiss my muse tenderly without explanation for @ltrooster
❝ gimme a sec ! ❞ rory calls out from the underbelly of a charter plane she’d been busy repairing. the landing gear had given the pilot a few unwanted rough landings, and came to her in the most unsavory state. she’d been hard at work all day, in sweltering california heat, she could feel the scalding metal against the calloused heels of her palms and delicate skin of her wrists, now marred in grease and burns and scratches of sharp nails and even sharper edges. god, she’s desperate for a shower.
rory makes sure the wrench snuggly wraps its teeth around the last of the bolts, twisting until it no longer budges, before she drenches the joints in much needed lubrication to keep the wheels turning - literally. it takes a few extra minutes, precious minutes she cannot rush. faulty landing gear could easily cost lives, especially for an unauthorized charter with who know what kind of landing arrangements. she’s not in a rush to roll out from underneath the plane yet. except she kind of is, knowing bradley is out there, waiting.
❝ aaaand done, oka- woah ! ❞ the words are barely past her lips when she’s rolled out from underneath her charge. she’s on her feet in seconds, so fast she’s sure her world is spinning, as his arms wind tightly around her, lips press down to hers, and as usual the familiar tickle of his mustache against her nose draws a giggle and a scrunch from her as she leans up on the tips of the toes of her worn all stars. her hands come up to hold his cheeks, to hold him close, at first, and to separate when she remembers that she needs to breathe. her head still feels like it’s spinning so she’s grateful for his steady arms around her as she tucks her chin closer to her chest, and finally, finally, she laughs. the back for hand wipes against his chin.
❝ you’ve got grease all over you, dummy. ❞

rory was stuck doing supply inventory for most of her night shift. as the night droned on, she counts each dressing packet, each box of masks, gloves, every quantity of medical supply on hand. it’s a tedious task, that requires a lot of focus, dedication, and caffeine. oh she’d kill for some caffeine right now. but if she leaves now, she loses count of what she’s done with and what she still has to do. four more hours.
knock knock.
rory turns around, and the sleepiness disappears when she realizes carmen is standing at the closet’s door with coffee. her mind is slow to catch up, so slow she doesn’t even say anything before carmen’s lips are on hers and her hand catches the dip of rory’s waist. finally, a giddy hum presses against carmen’s lips as rory’s hand cradles the side of her neck. thank god she was chewing that mint gum earlier. her lips draw up into a grin when she pulls away, the world around her seems to have slowed down. whether it was by effect of lightheadedness from the exceptionally excellent kiss, or the fact that rory’s been awake for over twenty-four hours, rory doesn’t know.
❝ always knew you were some kind of angel when you landed in my emergency room that day. ❞ she murmurs gleefully as she presses a few more chaste kisses to carmen’s lips, ❝ my guardian angel. ❞
