he really wanna go calling them sappy? thems dangerous words around a man like merle. good arm swiftly wraps around his brothers neck, putting him in a chokehold. it’s a light chokehold… but still. gotta show who’s boss. ❝ y’don’t be usin’ that shit ‘round me, yeah? merle and sappy ain’t compatible in the same sentence. so no, it ain’t like that. s’more like… fuckin’ badass action movie, like one of them ones with stallone. ❞ he let’s go fairly quickly, because they can’t be getting into a scrap right now. they’ve got a job to do, even if it was one of the shittier jobs to be given. at least they weren’t down there, that’s what the elder always reminds himself of.
❝ y’know, i’m thinkin’ on our free day tomorrow we head on out, go do some huntin’ and some scavengin’. find somethin’ real good t’bring back to the boss. bump us up a little higher in the standin’. maybe even get us enough points t’have a little action with one of them wives. i been eyein’ up that foxy redhead, s’a damn shame i only get t’look. ❞
the world didn't seem much different from then to now, the only difference were the dead that roamed the earth. assholes still ruled the world, the selfish still came up on top, and the good always got the short straw in life. it's not perfect where they are but at least they had a roof over their head, food in their bellies and a safe haven from the walking dead. so what if they had to continue the cycle of violence and fear to keep their place on top? he'd seen what happened to his old group, how they'd stepped in shit and got their asses handed to them. what became of them after woodbury, he doesn't know, but he's glad to be here than there.
smoke exhaled, eyes flick to the metal attachment and back down to the grunts, to the poor saps that got the short straw. they could've been in a comfortable room and a better position if they had accepted the way of life as it is now. some still fought, some still thought they could do better than this, but in reality? where was better than here? ash flicks onto concrete and he takes another long drag of the cigarette. he hates to admit merle's right but ... he's right. ❝ us against the world, huh? like some sappy family movie shit? ❞ he jokes dryly, eyes shifting back to merle. they're anything but sappy, always getting into fights but they're family at the end of the day. there's nearly nothing he wouldn't do for him.

the suggestion is appreciated, but mags worries about what other threats lay in wait for them. it was a jungle after all, there were all kinds of bugs in here. both natural and artificially made. she exposes any skin and the gamemakers might decide to set poisonous beetles on them or something. anything to improve the ratings. ‘ i can manage. ’ she assures him with a gentle pat on the cheek. the sound of a canon has mags looking towards the sky with a frown on her face. so much bloodshed, and for what? for nothing, that’s what. just so snow could continue his rule and nothing more. ‘ i just wish it would end. ’
he offers what he can, in the form of a small smile-- a genuine one, not the wide mouthed toothy grins he's offered the skies or even katniss and peeta. it's a gentle curve up on his lips. "yeah," they're all warm. that's nothing of concern. "should be a little cooler soon," noting the sky, he only hopes the temperatures aren't a drastic drop. everything about the arena says it'll likely remain warm, but finnick knows better than to trust what he knows about an environment. the gamemakers don't always care for the facts. how many people watching in their districts know whether a jungle's supposed to be hot or cold at night? "the sleeves come off." he starts to roll down and tug at one of the sleeves of the jumpsuit, which comes easily off. it's nothing more than a long glove that overlaps with the rest of the attire. "see? might help."

i was genuinely so happy to be back at work today. not many people can say that, but i missed my babies so much. my co-worker told me one of the babies who has me as their favorite (like 3 babies have chosen me specifically as number one) actually was crying for me. they asked her on thursday if "she misses stephanie" and she just burst out crying. when she calmed down again she asked again and the same response, burst out crying. i'm sad she wasn't there today, but she's got bad pink eye. oof. sickness all around the daycare!
but yeah, it was so nice to see most of my babies again <3 i love them

all cassandra wanted was to go home. their real home. the one where adults existed, where their parents existed. it’s true that every teenager wishes to grow up and become independent, but this? this was not the way. still, they have to try and make the best of the situation they’ve been dealt, which means rationing and trying to preserve what little they have left. they have no idea how long they’ll be here, without a proper plan in place they’ll die of starvation before they get the chance to find a way home.
❝ finding our way back is our main goal always. i want to go home as much as the next person, but i also have to be realistic. ❞ it’s almost become a rehearsed speech at this point. ❝ in order to even begin trying to get home we have to survive. we can’t figure out where we are or how we got here if we’re all dead. ❞
@murkyhazed sent ❛ if you've got a problem with the way i handle things, just say so. ❜ / from cassandra
harley had kept pretty quiet. when it came to how things worked in new ham, she was more than happy to just wait for the others to make decisions on everyone's behalf. she wanted to go home, she didn't want to be setting up camp here. she did her jobs when they were assigned, spent her free time with her friends, and when she got lonely she wrote letters to her dads in a journal. she did have thoughts on what cassandra was trying to enforce though, and apparently it read on her face. "i think we're being a little hasty, that's all. i know you don't think we're going home, but i don't think we should just stop trying."

of course her eyes roll when he responds, and before she follows him she looks at the confused and almost startled man. ❝ you’ll have to excuse doctor house, he was probably dropped on his head as an infant. ❞ heels click against tile as she heads into her office, shutting the door behind them. apparently it gives him the perfect opportunity to emphasize what he believes is a good point.
❝ not nearly as big as your ego, house. ❞ she’s walking briskly to her desk, and pulls out a file. she tosses it on the desk and stares at him. ❝ do you want to guess why you’re in the principals office today? ❞ he probably knows, and she’s probably given him the perfect chance to say some other sarcastic remark. normally she would detest someone with such blatant disregard for authority, but he’s one of the best doctors at this hospital. plus… now she’d never admit it, sometimes the banter was fun.
"No serious complications? Try telling that to my asshole!" He flashes the man sitting nearby a feigned look of distress, eye brows raised high, lips pulled in a deep frown. But still follows Cuddy's lead and makes his way toward her office. If he doesn't, she'll just follow him anyway and this may as well be done on the clock.
"You'd think, but you're as big a pain in my ass as your ass is...well, big." He's not shy about taking a quick look at it either as he says it.
This might actually be some sort of record for how quickly he could turn the conversation to her ass. He'll have to double check with Wilson to be sure; he's probably got a tally going somewhere if there's money on the line.

for her to make such a rookie mistake… it’s unlike her. but hell, can he really blame her for being so ill at ease? she’s got a terrible secret she has to keep, one that he forced upon her. he could’ve easily kept it from her too, kept this burden to himself. it’s probably what he should’ve done, but the woman has a hold on him like no other. one look in those eyes and every terrible, dark deed he’s ever done wants to come tumbling out. killing donna was the one that managed to slip out only a short time ago.
he can see there is something she’s holding back, something she wants to say but doesn’t. christ, has he already corrupted her innocent soul? of course he has… everything he touches turns to ash. not wanting to put up a fight, he retreats, following her direction to the cabinet where the first aid kit resides. pulling it from the shelf, he rummages inside for the rubbing alcohol and the bandages. they don’t even know what they’re dealing with here, but if it’s deep enough they might be making a late night stop at jax’s so tara could fix her up.
the mention of opie has him pausing, gaze fixed on the floor. his back is to her still, the first aid kit in his hands. she saw him, but it’s not like she hasn’t seen him since he confessed to the murder. what made today so different that it would shake her up? ❝ i’m sorry. ❞ it’s all he can say really. he’s sorry for everything… ❝ you shouldn’t have to be carrying this burden. i’m sorry. ❞
she freezes in place as she sees tig getting up from his chair, wincing slightly as he holds the towel covering the small gash. her eyes dart between the sink & tig's hands now holding the minor injury, unable to meet his eyes for the time being; "i, um ... i was cleanin' dishes, an' the knife slipped." in all fairness, that's the truth of the matter - nothing more, nothing less.
for a moment, eliza's lips part, her heart pleading with her mind to allow every secret to come crumbling down in front of tig. killing donna is one thing, but gemma's assault & eliza's own run-in with weston? he can't know. he isn't supposed to know, and it isn't fully her secret to tell. god, she wants to - needs to. it’s eating her alive.
eliza falters for another moment, panic seizing in her throat as she takes her arm back from tig, nodding toward the corner of the kitchen, "first aid kit's in that cabinet," she murmurs, moving to lean against a nearby table; he knows her well enough to recognize that her mind is just as clouded as his. "i saw ope today - i think it ... shook me up."

the response was one she should’ve expected, and she goes as far as to offer an apologetic smile to the man in the waiting room who had overheard house’s colorful retort. ❝ well lucky for you there are no serious complications to waiting an extra five minutes. you know, i was trying to be nice when i said please, but this wasn’t an optional chat. ❞ she steps aside and holds her arm out, finger pointed in the direction of her office. he should be used to this by now, it seemed to be a daily occurrence that she’d need to scold him. ❝ i’m surprised you even notice a pain in your ass given the pills you keep popping. ❞
@murkyhazed said: "could you come over here and talk to me for a second, please?" to house from cuddy
"Oooh," he says, face scrunched up, an over-exaggerated show of disappointment as he gestures toward the exit with his cane. "I was actually just on my way to pick up my script for hemorrhoid treatment so I'm afraid I don't have time for another pain in my ass."

the thing is, he really is completely serious. so maybe the term wasn’t the greatest way to describe it but… what else could he have used? neutral! that’s what he should’ve used… always a thought too late. ❝ come on, think about it! you know it’s true. so maybe goovil isn’t the right description but it’s the facts. there is no one out there who is truly good… except maybe betty white, may she rest in peace. you know what that just proves my point further because since she’s gone, now there really is no one left who is pure good. there also isn’t anyone truly evil… at least i have to have hope there isn’t. even bad people have some compassion and kindness to someone. like scar from the lion king, terrible guy, but he was actually nice to those hyenas. you know, until he was facing death in the face and sold them out. ❞
⎯⎯⎯⎯ @murkyhazed / buck sent ❛ there is no good, there is no evil. there is only “goovil”. ❜
“GOOVIL?” they can hardly keep themself composed, blinking up at buck before full out laughing. he says it in a way that’s just too serious for liam not laugh to at— even in a moment like this, where they absolutely shouldn’t be laughing because they’re on a call. they’re at the scene! but the word is too ridiculous, and it’s buck, he’s always been quite good at lightening up situations. “you’re so unprofessional,” they turn it back on him, laugh held back by their lips being pushed together, “i can’t believe you.”

now other men with a similar personality would take advantage of this moment, those in a similar position of power would probably relish in the thought of taking this pathetic little group for all it’s worth. there are some sick fucks out there! he’s sick and he’s twisted, but he’s got something of a moral code. don’t hurt women, and sure as shit don’t hurt children. given she’s got both going for her right now? well she might just have herself a certain immunity in this situation!
❝ no disrespect ma’am, but i think you do. ❞ his grin is still there, and then he lets out a whistle. several saviors appear from the treeline, but she should take note that they aren’t all men. there are women too, and he’s hoping that might give her a little peace of mind. ❝ people are a resource, you know? and children? well they are our goddamn future aren’t they! now i say all of this with the highest respect to your former authority, that kid will die out here. bein’ exposed, no proper food source or place to sleep, that is no way for a child to be livin’. or someone as fine as our former president! i am sorry, i just cannot get past that part! the fuckin’ president of the united states, the chances of that… ❞ he takes a few steps closer, until he’s directly in front of her. ❝ as you can see by my many men standin’ near me, we are very well off. there are hundreds of us, with a sanctuary that has plenty of room for your little rag tag group. what do you say, miss grant? how would you like to come on home with me and give your boy a fightin’ chance? ❞
the exclamation momentarily freezes her in her tracks, fingers delicately grazing the gun at her hip. the dirt and disheveled state that comes with the end of the world, it's been something of a blessing for a former polished president. a good majority of strangers don't even recognize her. today's just one of those lucky days.
if she has learned one thing throughout this entire ordeal, it is just how many people would love to see her life end as violently as humanly possible. she can't say that she doesn't understand it. she does. she carries that weight. but she also has a little boy to protect, currently under the watchful eye of the few stragglers that have survived from their group. and so her fingers remain cautiously at her gun, her gaze fixed firmly on the boisterous stranger. she's come head - to - head with plenty of men like him over the years. pretty faces with big personalities — easy to handle in a political landscape. but she's in a far different playing field now, isn't she? " i don't have anything you want. you may as well move on. "

he knows what it’s like to need some space from the constant caring. his caring usually came from his mother though, and that was a suffocating, controlling attempt at caring. they always had to be the best, mistakes weren’t allowed. funny coming from a woman who makes so many terrible choices. the lord would not appreciate his bad mouthing his mama, no matter how justified it may be.
❝ he has a lot of people to look out for him. he’s… he’s really lucky, especially to have a friend like you. ❞ he almost finds it hard to meet her gaze, mainly because he feels so guilty over his past behavior. the way the world was now, things could be over so quickly… why would you want to spend what little time you might have being so negative and spreading hate? sadly a question he didn’t begin to ponder until recently. ❝ i mean, if he was genuinely annoyed with you for caring about him? sounds like a him problem. his loss is my gain. ❞
yeah... maybe he hadn't said anything, hadn't said that she was bothering him, but... well, she supposed that she was still a little wary of him - given the way he had been known to be. that and the fact that she could very much feel his mother's eyes on her from across the way. it really didn't help that sophia could, in a way, be pretty sensitive to that kind of thing. given the environment she'd grown up in...
but when he stated that she wasn't, and suggested the idea of company... while she might not be entirely sure about him, about... well, having him figured out, she also didn't really have anyone else to spend time with. not her age anyway. yes, luckily, carl had made it after being shot, but he needed a lot of time to recover and rest, and sophia felt like he probably wouldn't really want her hovering constantly...
so after a brief moment of hesitation, she moved to sit herself down on the grass. the weather was nice enough, so why not spend time outside?
" i figured carl was probably getting sick of me sitting and fussing over him, so... "
