Where have I been?

I've hit the point where I think it's in my best interest in leaving Tumblr, and I know we've been here before but this time it's very likely going to be permanent.
Perhaps I take things too personally but I just don't feel 'held' by anyone here or really appreciated in general. Things have piled up, and I'm hurt and I feel used. I just can't allow things to progress much further because I deserve better, I deserve a place where I feel appreciated and loved. I deserve a place where I don't feel conned. I expect it to be a lonely road, but it's better to be alone than to try to exist in a place where I am constantly overlooked, where I constantly feel that nothing I do is good enough.
Either way, I wish you all the best of luck and I am thankful for having met the majority of you.

Boisterous laughter nearly escapes the warlock due to the expression on Michael's face when his jest of repenting is mentioned, though it is simply subdued with a large smile that gradually fades as eyes glance to his rearview mirror before merging over. Once his attention is focused back on the road, his eyes observe Michael from his peripherals, his thumb continuing to tap at the steering wheel as he fights the silent urge to hum along to the faint music playing from the radio. The declaration of hunger is met with a short nod as a gentle exhale leaves him.
As Michael's infernal father is mentioned Copia offers a wry chuckle, ❝ Satan works in mysterious ways, caro. . .and your father well. . .he likes making things difficult so you EARN whatever you seek. Some people need a shove while others need help. Hell knows I needed guidance in my darkest moments. ❞ For a moment his voice dies down as he eventually merges off the long highway. Once stopped at a red light Copia fished out a cigarette and lit it with the car's built-in lighter, the pack offered to Michael on the off chance he too desired one, if declined he'd set it back into a cup holder. Despite the ease of Michael's visage, the next curious question caused Copia to tense up slightly, a heavy hit taken off the cigarette only to be released with an audible hum of thought.
❝. . .My mother's a witch, one who spiritually bonded with your father through a satanic ritual that allowed her to conceive me. She's an authoritarian type. Strong with built with both compassion and purpose, probably the funniest person I've ever met as well. ❞ Cue another hit from the cigarette as a tower of ash is tapped lazily out the window. ❝ In Italy, there are ancient abbeys built on hidden unhallowed ground. There's Satanism in this country, but the most intricate parts of the worship were abandoned due to greed as they came overseas. As a child, I didn't really understand my path. I was angry and resentful for a long time. . .Partially because I was raised by Nuns who didn't understand me. ❞ A breath of air as he glances at Michael, ❝ I ah. . .❞ For a moment his hand clenches up on his steering wheel as he shifts in his seat, the cigarette hit once more before it's tossed aside out the window, his gaze breaking as he swallows hard. ❝ Knew I was different as a child, and it scared a lot of the other children. After much trial and error, the Nuns realized I was a witch. ❞ He pauses, finally making a left turn to pull into the diner where he shuts off the car and unbuckles his seatbelt, turning to face Michael. ❝ My mother realized that I ah. . .Wasn't a woman very early on and worked hard on helping me gain the confidence I needed to stand on my own. Once the time was opportune, she made adjustments so that I could move to work with the priest and cardinals that studied ancient scriptures. As I mentioned, an accident happened and I came to the states, transitioned and well. . .suppose the rest is history. . .I serve your father because I've seen the hell people like me go through all over the world. . .Your father has always accepted me and my mother. Without him. . .I don't think we would've made it as far as we have. . .plus ahh. . .Being evil is kinda bitchin'. . .now enough of all this⸻let's grab some food, si ? I heard this place has amazing pancakes. ❞
No, he is right. They can not risk for Cordelia to find a loophole, come crawling back like a cockroach. Sans realizing it, Michael nods in response while biting down this nagging urge to push for quick action. Gaze darting out of the windshield. But not for long; Copia jesting about surrendering to god has him hold his breath for a second. A wry look on his face, brows unevenly upturned and a near shocked expression settling there until the warlock clarifies. ❛ Don't give me a heart attack ❜, Michael huffs a dry laugh and one beat later, well, something dawns on him. He truly has been naive as fuck. Almost buying into that joke, too. Seems like gradually mastering the art of manipulation doesn't exempt him from being susceptible to it when used on himself by others.
Thanks to the support at his back, Michael must've leant too deeply into the comfort thereof; feeling invincible, growing arrogant to the point of recklessness.
He almost misses Copia's translation of the Italian term utilized prior. Forgets to blink for the entirety of a minute whilst staring out onto the road ahead. Mind swimming in a bunch of puzzle pieces finally coming together. That is, until his eyes sting and hearing the word 'diner' steers his attention back to the warlock aka driver. Michael contemplates objecting in favor of taking a shower somewhere first, but his stomach's opinion doesn't line up with it. So he says nothing. Nothing except for ❛ I'm starving. ❜
How long has he been out there in the woods? As if looking for an answer in the landscape rushing by as they cruise about, he tracks the trees lining the way. ❛ Uh... I- I don't really know ❜, follows brief hesitation, ere he plants one elbow onto the door-window's edge to rest his temple on the knuckles of that hand. A fleeting glimpse into the wing mirror. ❛ It must've been a couple days. I tried to contact my father but he obviously doesn't care to help me. ❜ Again, Michael shoots Copia a contemplative glance that lingers for a silent, prolonged moment. The resurfacing crease to his brows gives away how the thoughts haven't stopped firing through his head. ❛ Unless you are his answer. I mean, you showing up just when I'm ready to give up would be a funny coincidence. ❜
A lazy smile curves his mouth upward, ease washing over his mien again. ❛ Can I ask you something? ❜ Michael doesn't wait for an answer to that. ❛ Exactly what made you choose him as your lord? I doubt you woke up one day thinking 'hey, time to worship Satan'. ❜

Hey all ! I'm here and diving into my drafts but I still owe a few starters which I intend to handle tomorrow evening. For these drafts, I'll be setting up a queue so my activity is more consistent but the starters will be posted ASAP. If you are looking to plot or anything of the sort just reach out to me. :)
I'll also be over @sinnerborn and @ministrymatron to catch up on the little I have on those blogs as well over the next few days. . .also going to possibly develop more threads on each of those blogs.

❝. . .You want me to say Betelgeuse ? ❞ A look of profound confusion finds the Cardinal's features, the clipboard, and pen clenched in-hand as he worked on checking in a FRESH delivery from outside the ministry grounds. ❝. . .Ahhh shit. . .You got me there. ❞ Pen gestures to a sealed crate 'decorated' with caution tape before he taps at the clipboard wildly as if in contemplation. ❝ Tell you what. . .If you give me a GOOD enough reason I'll let you out⸻the Ministry only requested the ITEM in the box, not any entities attached to it. . .Typically I get some kinda warning but for you ahhh. . .doesn't seem your name is anywhere on the list. ❞

@walriding ♥'d THIS for a starter !
Mount Massive Asylum for the Criminally Insane was a. . .unique place with a morbid menagerie of twists and turns. Death, decay, and even EVIL itself had been lurking throughout its halls, the blood spilled had never been enough for the shady dealings of the Murkoff corporation or even those they employed to oversee everyday dealings in the asylum. Just how many lives had been lost, how much suffering would it take for everything to just crumble? Perhaps it would take an outsider. . .A catalyst for change. . .but just WHO would be brave enough to come to such a place, especially with Murkoff's involvement?
Hope was lost for so long. . .but a glimmer into a new reality came with the miracle of DEATH. Gluskin⸻Words couldn't contain the excitement that captured a patient by the name of 'Cardinal', a newfound giddiness to take over for the deceased groom. Perhaps the Cardinal had been a bit. . .misguided, but his way had kept him safe. Kept 'savage' outsiders away. . .No one dared to challenge those on 'good' terms with the Wallrider ( whatever THAT had even meant ). There HAD been a chapel for union, but new management assured that it'd return to its initial purpose. . . Worship.
❝ Have you come to repent ? ❞ The brunette entered the space with a candelabra in hand which offered a faint glow on his features, wide mismatched eyes watching the strange who no doubt had come from the OUTSIDE on account of his clothing. The calmness he held made him unlike the other patients, and to make matters worse, he had made his own cassock out of cloth remnants from around the asylum so that he wouldn't wear the same garb as the others. ❝ Or perhaps. . .you're just passing through ? ❞

❝ If I've said it once, I've said it a hundred times⸻❞ A sharp inhale, hands falling to rest on his tips as he glances at the masked ghoul, ❝ It seems every show you come more and more out of your shell ! ❞ The vague tone in which he spoke shifted to one holding both hope and contentment. ❝ I could cry, I'm very proud of you, caro. ❞ A gloved hand gently pats at the ghoul's shoulder, a smile pulling at his lips as he pulls his hand back so that it may return to his hip. ❝ There has been a mixup with the schedule, we play tomorrow. . .Would you like to go out and have some fun ? ❞

❝ I pity them. ❞ Painted lips pause with the slow drift of his eyes to catch a glimpse of the woman behind him. ❝ So blissfully unaware. . .❞ Slowly his body turns to face her, a brow lifted with a steady sigh. ❝ I often find myself retreating into memories of simpler times, reminiscing of those I had to let go. . .How is it you stay so strong, cara? ❞ Slowly, he leans into the dusty window frame, glancing down at the few stragglers who had surely been on their way home on account of the curfew. ❝ Have you eliminated kindness entirely ? Or have you made peace with your truth ? ❞

@muutos ♥'d THIS for a starter ! ( For Judith ! )
An air of melancholy weighs the Cardinal down, a spine perpetually bending out of place the instant he had received HORRID news. Perhaps for the first time, doubt had consumed him, graced him with a never-ending spout of paranoia that he too was nothing but a marionette of the Ministry, forever destined to run from the wolves as they nip at his ankles. Perhaps his fate was sealed the instant he was taken in by the orphanage on the Ministry's grounds (at least that's what he had been told his entire life ), but one thing was clear. . .The path he was on was NOT one of his choosing. While he enjoyed the passing thought of Papacy, he concluded such limelight would take away from his passion of pursuing knowledge. . .but the Emeritus sons had failed. . .Nihil had failed. With no one to step in, he was chosen by Imperator and those above her. Initially, he had thought the woman crazy for even suggesting the idea but after his first album and tour, he found himself capable of living up to what was truly needed in the Ministry. . .perhaps he even found it FUN but all of the warmth he had felt from his spurt of pride had subsided and nested into something far more grotesque.
❝. . .They executed the Papa's. ❞ A soft murmur from the shadows of the Sister's private quarters⸻he had let himself in as he had on a few occasions in the past ( though such times were. . .for 'fun' ). ❝ They made me watch. ❞ Even now his tone is weak, his two-toned hues resting shut to hide any direct insight into his location. ❝ Forgive me, Sister. . .I know this visit was unexpected but I. . .didn't know where to go. ❞

Crisp winter air nips at his nose as a firm brow conducts uneasiness on account of whisperings he had heard in passing from a few of the residential ghouls who catered to the higher levels of the Ministry. Perhaps he shouldn't have been so nosey, in blissful ignorance he would surely have had an easy night. For now, he settles with an evening beneath a full moon with the assumption that he'd be meeting with a woman he had grown a fondness for. For quite a long while he had been busy with tour preparations despite only being home from the last tour for a month, still. . .Despite being a workaholic he finds time in his schedule to meet with her in hopes she may ease his troubled mind.

❝ Cenere alla cenere. . . ❞ A soft voice murmurs with the accompanying sound of a rock skipping against the surface of a pond near the garden grounds. ❝ Polvere alla polvere. ❞ A sigh as the Papa bends down and searches for another rock beneath the fading glow of the setting sun. . .and once such is required it's skipped all the same with a heavy sigh of exasperation. Part of him desires to be on tour again, away from the morbid paranoia that had been running rampant through his cranium since he had got home. . .He feels betrayal is afoot, though no evidence is in his grasp. Penance was to be paid, blood for blood, life for life. . .It was the way things were, only. . .he never thought his mother to conspire against him. ( Perhaps he should've known better. ). A sigh bellows louder than intended as he takes a seat on a blackened bench carved from remnants of a fire at another abbey a few states away.

Romania. . .certainlly hadn't been his first choice for travel, but his infernal duty led him deep in the forests of Transylvania his destination an old abbey that contained priceless books and artifacts of the Ministry's history. All he'd need to do is clear the dreaded Hoia Baciu. . .A place that he regarded as LAWLESS when it came to the supernatural. Many rumors came and went regarding monsters and specters alike, something the 'PLAGUE DOCTOR' found both entrancing and troubling. At least Satan had been on his side, and the man believe such should lead him on an easy plight. Gloved digits clutch tightly onto the reins ( pulling back gently to guide the horse to stop ) of the carriage, and his two-tone eyes drift to take in all manner of fading foliage as a milky fog begins to surround him. Slowly the masked man rises to his feet, taking careful steps down from the carriage so that his boots may meet mudded earth. Time was of the essence, but. . .the fog could easily lead both him and the horse off the path, so he decides to wait things out for now. He'd look around curiously at his surroundings, vaguely recalling the path from his youth when he accompanied a. . .friend to the very abbey he was heading for. It's not soon after that a haunt of disembodied whispers filters into the air and captures both his and the horse's attention ( and to calm the pale white steed comes a gentle palm ).
❝. . .Is there someone there ? ❞
