bokketo // florence tiburon
“Sounds like sabotage, I know.” Florence mutters under her breath, but doesn’t interject more than that. She’s aware that these things happen, and she’s even more aware that the damage may actually be coming from someone who has infiltrated their side of the war effort. She can quietly suggest things to people, but she knows that most of them won’t take kindly to demands of any sort. So she’s stuck doing paperwork and being frustrated by not being able to meet the needs of the wounded.
Max’s amusement distracts her from it — she’s grateful, she does not want to think about work right now — and she can’t help but roll her eyes. “Are you kidding me? You’ve seen what he’s like. What, do I not have standards? Goddess knows I could use a roll in the hay once in a while, but not with him.” Suddenly she looks around furtively, double checking that he’s not listening. “Besides,” she says, leaning in and whispering, “I heard he’s got nothing to show for all that talk anyway. I’m definitely not going to find out for anyone though.”
IT’S TOO MUCH TO HOPE that anyone would look too seriously into the issue of the missing supplies, and even more unlikely that either of them would have any pull in that regard. max being given any position here had been like pulling teeth in the first place, and as valuable as florence is to the efforts, everyone is so preoccupied with what’s happening on the front lines, that max doubts it’s high priority ( even if she believes it should be ).
hands come up in mock surrender, but she can’t help the laughter that bubbles up with them.
❝ i’m so sorry, ❞ tears prick the corners of her eyes but they’re borne of mirth. ❝ people have strange tastes sometimes, you know. ❞ it takes some effort to stop laughing long enough to flick her eyes toward a couple in a back booth of the bar. a soldier as scrawny as they come sitting with a warrior woman who could probably lift him with her little finger. max shrugs. ❝ but you have to tell me who you heard that from --- not that i’m shocked. ❞ because it’s always the ones who speak with such arrogance that have no way to back it up.

𝐇𝐄 𝐅𝐄𝐄𝐋𝐒 𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐑𝐔𝐃𝐄𝐃 𝐔𝐏𝐎𝐍 , every ounce of his being , the very aura that had been forged to keep people away from him now seemingly cracked down the center . what spills out is nothing more than a heavy sigh , a step back and while it is not out of self defense there is a sharp gaze carrying through his eyes in warning .
❛ i wouldn’t expect you to understand ❜ the words are pointed , a knife met through the air but his expression softens along with a breath taken in slowly , a hand brushing across his face . the truth is , there is far more to living beyond being some sort of hero , to save the world and all that takes hold of it and taemin is not one of those things , in fact - he’s meant to destroy it . ❛ just because i have the power to change things doesn’t mean i have the ability , these things you have , these wishes — all you will end up doing is attempting to drag us all down the unknown path and while you may think it is best for everyone , i can promise you one thing … ❜ a pause now , his tongue drags across the front of his teeth as if in protest of his own words , ❛ if i have any involvement , any at all ? the pretty world you wish to start where there is no war or freedom will be dropped into chaos . i’m not saying i enjoy the way things are – but at least people are alive ❜
IT’S NOT THE FIRST TIME SHE’S HEARD THAT ------and max doubts it’ll be the last. she’s had her share of being underestimated, taken for granted, assumed to be less than. so of course it comes down to a lack of understanding on her part rather than persistent stubbornness on his. she rolls her eyes.
❝ so those are the only two options ? ❞ her voice is hushed, barely a whisper, but it still carries with it an edge of desperation. ❝ remain under the control of men who fear what they don’t understand ------or die ? ❞ even as she speaks the words, dubious of their truth, max can feel the hope that had begun this exchange starting to fade. she’d thought this was the answer --- that he was the answer --- of course it couldn’t possibly be that simple. maybe she is less than after all. less than what is needed to incite change, at the very least. deflated, with the way he softens doing nothing to quell her dismay, max looks away, almost talking to herself now. ❝ they can’t be, i have to be missing something. ❞

theystars // quillen arias
the change in emotion is sensed, quillen respects it and allows max to feel whatever it is she must feel … there will be absolutely no judgement of any type of display, they get judged enough already for other things. whatever the world can throw at them.
❛❛ we inherit the strangest things from our parents and ancestors. i could use a good stew right now. or anything, really. i’m starving. ❜❜ she rolls flat on her back, hazel eyes staring straight up above them. the woman is up, no sleep on her horizon. even if she were to close her eyes, her mind would race beyond the sky and fracture into a hundred different thoughts.
❛❛ max. your family? what happened to them? do you know? ❜❜
THAT IS THE QUESTION, ISN’T IT? what happened to her parents? what happened to the people who raised her? why is max out here all alone? the truth is, she has more questions than answers, and it leaves a sour taste in her mouth.
❝ my parents died when i was a kid. ❞ this part is easy --- a line she’s rehearsed over and over again throughout her life. max wonders if she even really misses them the way she’s supposed to at this point, or if it’s all autopilot. ❝ i was raised by my godparents. ❞ they’d never been given such a title, but it’s close enough to the truth. a weary sigh as she mimics quillen’s movements, back to the bed, eyes skyward. ❝ harold, he got sick a few years back. something to do with his time as a soldier. i don’t really know the details of it. ❞ alice had been in mourning, and as much as max feels guilty for leaving her, the older woman had encouraged her departure. ❝ it was like --- like every inch of that place reminded me of loss, you know ? ❞ there’s a quiet laugh, though it’s flat in tone. ❝ i had to get out. ❞

aughust // hayley marshall
it was like whiplash. going from living her normal, albeit shitty, human life to being a creature of the night. slowly learning [ the pace wouldn’t have made a difference in the resulting shock. ] that not only are you something that is used at slumber parties for scary stories at the campfire, but there are more things out there. things that shouldn’t exist.
even now, years of treading the world with unwanted knowledge of the supernatural existence, there are things that she doesn’t have the answers to. in a world where fictional myths are embodied as reality ── can you ever truly know anything? ❝ max, i want to help you. ❞ an honest statement made with sincere sympathy. a gentle hand reaches to rest on her shoulder, a concerned smile tugging at the corners of her lips. ❝ we’re going to figure this out. ❞
I WANT TO HELP YOU. it sounds like a lifeline, and there have been far too few of those thrown around these days. her thoughts keep finding their way back to harold and alice, wondering if they’d known --- if they’d had any idea what she was back then, if someone could have given her some warning about what was to come.
too late now. she’s already feeling this change inside of her, and max has had no preparation whatsoever.
❝ do you know what it is, what’s --- ❞ she bites her tongue before the rest of the sentence comes out. what’s wrong with me, she’d been about to say. but it feels like the wrong thing, especially in front of hayley, especially in front of someone else different than the norm. ❝ do you know what’s causing this ? or --- i dunno --- who we could ask ? ❞ because someone has to know, right? someone out there must have information on exactly what’s going on with her. max’s voice is quieter when she speaks again, as if someone might overhear. ❝ do you know who we can trust ? ❞

a court of mist and fury sentence starters
“i fell in love with you, smartass, because you were one of us.”
“when you spend so long trapped in the darkness, you find the darkness begins to stare back.”
“there are good days and hard days for me—even now. don’t let the hard days win.”
“if you were going to die, i was going to die with you.”
“you’re a real bastard, you know that?”
“there are different kinds of darkness. there is the darkness that frightens, the darkness that soothes, the darkness that is restful. there is the darkness of lovers, and the darkness of assassins. it becomes what the bearer wishes it to be, needs it to be. it is not wholly bad or good.”
“i’m thinking… i’m thinking i was a lonely, helpless person, and i might have fallen in love with the first thing to show me a hint of kindness and safety.”
“i am broken, and healing, but every piece of my heart belongs to you.”
“i would have torn apart the world to get you back.”
“i’m thinking that i look at you and feel like i’m dying. like i can’t breathe. i’m thinking that i want you so badly i can’t concentrate half the time i’m around you, and this room is too small for me to properly bed you.”
“i hope they all burn in hell.”
“the issue isn’t whether they loved you, it’s how much. too much. love can be a poison.”
“many atrocities have been done in the name of the greater good.”
“did you enjoy the sight of me kneeling before you?”
“you gave up on me. you were my friend.”
“life is better when you’re around. and look how lovely your handwriting is.”
“i know you—more than you realize, i think—and i don’t believe for one damn minute that you’re remotely fine with being a pretty trophy for someone who sat on their ass for nearly fifty years, then sat on their ass while you were shredded apart—”
“come on. we don’t bite. unless you ask us to.”
“but i couldn’t… i couldn’t stop being around you, and loving you, and wanting you. i still can’t stay away.”
“i’d much rather you licked my wounds for me.”
“you decide your fate—your choices. not me.”
“i’m surprised there aren’t more mirrors in this house, since you seem to love looking at yourself so much.”
“i heard you begging for someone, anyone, to get you out. i heard you say no.”
“i will kill anyone who harms you. i will kill them, and take a damn long time doing it. go ahead. hate me—despise me for it.”
