Positivity anon's back at it again with apologies for not being as consistent as I would have hoped with sending out messages to others so that they know that they're wanted and needed in the RPC! :D Have you done anything fun over the last couple of weeks? Do you have anything you're excited about for this week or not really? Lastly, I do hope you're having a great day and will have a fantastic week! Never forget that the RPC needs you and your unique take on characters! ♡♡♡

i’d like to preface this by telling you that you are so very sweet. your determination to spread kindness is so very appreciated ; i hope you know that for your actions you are adored. ♥♥♥

but to answer your questions !! i went to the local renaissance festival a few days ago ; it was tiring & i didn’t get as much goodies as i’d have liked, but its my favorite place to be & i’m happy to have had the opportunity. another thing i’m looking forward to is that it’s my best friend’s birthday in 5 days !!!!!!  ANOTHER thing is---i had a Big Fight with one of my oldest friends that lasted a few months, leading up to the point that we had to block each other & take space--i’m not proud of how it all started & went down, but i AM proud that we eventually reconnected, had a long, long chat, & made amends in a healthy way for us both - and she’s coming back to state for winter break in a few days, we’re gonna go get coffee & go thrifting like we always do ♥ aND ! i have this boyfriend Devin who is currently on-duty in japan, but ! he comes home in 15 days, For Good.  additionally !! thanksgiving is hastily approaching, and my parents are currently IRL screaming at each other because they dont know how to love one another in the way they need to be loved, BUT the holiday is my dads favorite & it’ll be nice to spend the day cooking with mom (as is tradition) & then all gathering around the table ; however the evening may likely implode, i’m certain there’ll be some shining moments in between .

thank you again for the message & your endeavors ;  it is an incredibly good gesture of you, & i appreciate that you encourage others to reflect & consider the goodness around them. may you have a stellar day, & all days following be just as bright ♥♥♥

@soldierwatch​: "we all have secrets, don’t we?“ || MEME.

✯ ━ “ Hah. Touché. ” A fine Cuban cigar rolled from one corner of his mouth to the other as the gunslinger fired back at the older man before him. A face he’d never expected to see again, and yet here he was. Old soldiers are hard to kill, a friend once told him, and it stuck to Cassidy for good. Their encounter was as unexpected as it was bittersweet; there was some consolation in seeing Morrison alive and kicking, but the shadow of the past he had brought with himself to the table hung heavy over the happy-go-lucky cowboy lookalike. Conflict inside him grew with every passing minute, he wanted to ask so many questions, but feared the answers at the same time. Assuming he would receive an honest answer.

“ Lyin’ about your death, the whole cover up, these – ”, he gesticulated in a circular motion to stress the core of his statement. “ – one man army shenanigans. What’s that good for? There anythin’ else you failed to mention? Or conveniently forgot at the time? ”

he’s aggrieved, that much is apparent ; REASONABLY SO, jack would acquiesce---here is returned a GHOST to claim that evident DEATH is not so permanent ; but would have STAYING GONE been the better choice here ?

there’s no endeavor to QUELL cassidy’s frustration - he’s entitled to it ; but contrition DOES keep jack’s mouth shut at the prying questions. now’s a good a time as ANY to come clean, but... well, ONE returned ghost is not the only ISSUE here, & it’s the IDENTITY of the second that will hit the HARDEST.

though broad shoulders remain steady, jack’s hands clench & unfurl ; it’s a DELICATE topic, but---cassidy deserves the truth. jack doesn’t anticipate any amount of THANKS for it, however there’s a hope in that within all the RAGE words may incite, cassidy will come to know that HONESTY was not purposefully withheld.

                                                                   “ gabriel. ”

he’d meant to carry statement with the steadiness portrayed in stance,  but it breathes out of him with heartache--- a slow blink, & old soldier continues ;

                                                     “ by moira’s doing, he’s---                                                                          reaper. ”

dayanghan​:

˚⊹ @soldierwatch​ gets a surprise thing just because

  an intimidating RUMBLE echoes off of the walls, but all that comes of it is a jacket dangling over jack’s lap. a jacket with several holes and a tear in the sleeve, which hangs from a LARGE set of jaws with many teeth. it’s shaken slightly, another growl rising from the beast’s throat as she shifts impatiently from foot to foot. play with me, she almost seems to say, even though she knows FULL WELL that this coat is no toy. but that’s just part of the fun, isn’t it?

.

ATTENTION DIVERTS from the folder in hand, words obscured now by FAMILIAR BLUE FABRIC---

                                                            “ oh, indie... ”

RESIGNATION in tone, hinted at with notes of DISAPPOINTMENT---not only for the dinosaur, however, but as well for HIMSELF - had he not been so lost to paperwork, he might’ve noticed it was previously TOO QUIET.

           ( marcel had ADVISED him to be ATTENTIVE,              much like a parent demanding responsibility. )

a SIGH falls in time with the FOLDER from his grasp, & jack reaches with free hand to take the fabric between his fingers---there’s no shortage of how many of these things can be produced or patched-up if necessary, but there’s CLEARLY no saving this one, & he always feels so GUILTY requesting another new custom-order uniform coat.

                                    “ we have GOT to get you a real chew-toy. ”

#i just think it's ironic . that the coat is such a big part of the symbol . & indie tore it to shreds . #(-: #dayanghan #ஃ ➡ ᶤᵗ'ˢ ᵐʸ ᵖʳᶤᵛᶤˡᵉᵍᵉ ᵗᵒ ˡᵉᵃᵈ ʸᵒᵘ ᶤᶰᵗᵒ ᵇᵃᵗᵗˡᵉ ( overwatch )

prompts for emotionally stunted idiots

because my friends muses need therapy. will they get it? absolutely not. 

AVOIDING THE TERRIFYING ORDEAL OF BEING KNOWN:  

“  yeah i’m pissed off but i’d rather not talk about it.  that’s why you’re the one i came to.  ”

“  i’m not looking for a friend.  i’m looking for someone just as angry as i am.  ”

“  i’m not good at caring about people’s shit on purpose.  ”

“  i’m not gonna ask if ‘you’re okay’ cause that’s fuckin’ annoying.  you wanna get the hell out of here and do something?  ”  

 “  i don’t wanna talk about it. you got a beer?  ”  

“  upset?  why would i be upset?  ”

“  so you wanna go find something to break?  ”  

“  hey you want me to kill that guy for you?  ”

“  i just need to get this shit done.  and i trust you to help me do that.  ”  

“  you’re hot.  and i’m bored.  ”  

“  can we just have some meaningless sex we can both pretend didn’t happen tomorrow morning?  ”

“  i can think of at least a dozen people that need killing.  or a light beating.  will that cheer you up?  ”

“  i’ve a got job and i think you’d be the perfect fit.  so you in?  ”

“  yeah i don’t do the whole crying thing.  give me something to stab and i’ll be good in a day or two.  ”

“  i banged it out and now i feel great.  next question.  ”

“  if i think about it,  i get angry.  and i don’t know where that anger stops.  so i’d rather not start at all.  ”

VARIOUS SENTENCES WITH ABSOLUTELY NO DEPTH U COWARDS: 

“  if you’re gonna stay here you can’t be sober so either take the fruity beer or the shitty wine or let me be vibe in peace.  ”

“  how much insect essence do you think are in every square inch of chocolate? like just how many cockroach guts have i consumed with my hershey’s? ” 

“  you should’ve seen the look on their face.  it’s been so long since i’ve made someone that fuckin’ angry it was great.  ” 

“  i have this neighbor who keeps playing driver’s license at 10 a.m. every morning and i’m starting to question if it’s a sixteen year old getting over a breakup or a 36 year old trying to reclaim their childhood. at this point the mystery is the only thing keeping me going.  ”

“  do i trust you?  absolutely not.  next question.  ”

“  if i don’t get a nap in the next hour i’ll probably murder someone.  ”

“  you’re getting that look in your eyes like you’re about to ask me what’s wrong so i’m gonna save us both the awkwardness of finding an excuse to leave and just go now.  ”

“  i’m here to raid your fridge cause my date went really bad and all i’ve had is lukewarm water and breadsticks.  ”

“  i’m making a fake tinder profile to see how gullible guys are, wanna help?  ”   

“  hey i got something for you look!  ”   *holds up middle finger* 

U MIGHT GET PUNCHED: 

“  why are you really here?  ”

“  i’m not leaving until you tell me what the fuck is going on.  ”

“  you can’t solve every problem with your fists.  ”  

“  i’m not here to talk about me.  what the hell is going on with you?  ”

“  you think i don’t notice but i do.  i can tell something’s wrong.  ”   

“  i can see beneath your smile.  ”

“  why won’t you just tell me the truth?  ”

“  what are you hiding? and don’t you dare try to lie to me. ”

“  what the hell did you do?  ”

“  so are we gonna talk about it or are we gonna pretend nothing’s wrong here?  ”

IT’S JARRING, BEING BACK---

MEMORIES flood the forefront of consciousness, though apprehension pushes them aside, hindering his ability to catch one for consideration, treating them as though wisps - there’s but ONE thought that settles EASILY, & it’s the mere words :

                                        ‘ HOPE THINGS GO BETTER THIS TIME ’

           he finds himself unable to tell if it’s GENUINE or WRY.

the RECOLLECTIONS aren’t all bad, some favorable impressions having been left with him, but AGITATION & a sense of PESSIMISM keep him from settling ;

he’s been CHASING GHOSTS over the past few years---

seems ironic he’d BECOME one.

...not that he really WANTED to haunt these halls in the FIRST PLACE ;

jesse had posed the proposition innocently enough, & jack---...well, lately he’s found himself content to trail alongside those cowboy boots ; but after reuniting with winston & the sway of THAT conversation, he’s actually a little SURPRISED to have been allowed entry.

        DIRT & RED DUST COLOR THEM, 

vagabonds, they two, having traveled much over the past while - jack hadn’t been certain what to EXPECT, coming back to this watchpoint, but it hadn’t been for the place to be UNCHANGED, pristine & sanitary ; it’s why he’s so focused on the patch of dirty on the back of jesse’s serape, because despite the YEARS he’s logged in this location, THAT is the only thing that feels FAMILIAR.

---they arrive at a room, quarters granted during their stay, & only AFTER jack sets down his duffel & gun does he vaguely recall there had been TWO rooms---he doesn’t make any action to leave ; finds himself hoping jesse won’t either.

                                                              “ strange to be back. ”

the remark is SUBDUED, 

made after the door has slid shut, following which jack unlatched visor faceplate ;

his old overwatch issued ID sits buried somewhere in his duffel---

his NEW one with fresh lamination is a weight in his breast pocket.

                          “ i agreed to help with logs tomorrow at six-hundred ;

                                                         they give you any duties yet ?”

*grumbling indie noises in the distance* // @dayanghan​

ENSUING SILENCE IS DEFEANING ; across the table, between several leaders & scientists, jack is witness to clear view of adawe covering her face with her palm---

       all the others, however, stare at HIM,        eyes WIDE, question EVIDENT on their tongues,        though all of them with too much TACT to be the first to ASK---

                          jack provides answer in service.

                                              “ that’s---yes. ...that’s the dinosaur. ”

WHO IS CURRENTLY SUPPOSED TO BE IN HER CONFINEMENT QUARTERS, so as NOT to cause INTERRUPTIONS to this meeting.  ...though jack, OF COURSE, knows well-enough her thoughts on THAT.

          ---a SECRET, she no longer is, but READY for the ACTUALITY of her,               he doesn’t believe gathered officials to be. 

her existence is known only to those gathered in the room & select few others, & while this meeting is regarding OTHER matters, there HAD been intention to share more details on indie’s purpose & performance--- seems they’ll have to skip some bullet-points & lead right into that topic ; hell, seems they’ll actually get to MEET HER today.

                               “ she, um. she gets anxious if she doesn’t see me.                                    would you mind if she---? ---she’ll behave in the corner. ”

                                                                                  HE HOPES.

❛ there ain't much else you could've done. ❜ // @quick-drawn​ my bess fren

CONFESSIONS COME IN THE EARLY HOURS ; there’s much that’s been shared between them, & had you told jack back in the old days that THIS is what his dawns would look like, well---maybe he’d have had ample time TO do something different.

       ...though, stealing a glance towards jesse,                       maybe he would’ve chose not to.

                                                                     “ maybe not. ”

he concedes, quietly ; voice little more than a MURMUR.  the weight still sits HEAVY upon him - if he’d only noticed sooner ; if only he’d listened to gabriel ; if only if only if only---

                                                           boots - boots - boots .

                                                   “ but i’m making up for it now. ”

                                                            “ DOES ANYTHING ?”

biting retort INSTINCTIVE response ; unwillingness to STRIKE HER, matched in intensity by rejection to TAKE SHIT. 

                       one might note her own choice to SPEAK, belaying any SHOTS.

ANIMOSITY ASIDE, her words not taken in tones of candor--- his old self DEAD & BURIED, metaphorical EMPTY COFFIN quite LITERAL, but there still exists traits of similarities - mayhaps the same could be said of HER, if she allows the opportunity for SEARCHING.

❛ did i do good? ❜ ( post mission doubts, maybe? ) // @aceparagon

MADE TO PAUSE, old soldier halts in step ; granted leave from dropship, his intent was to retire to the quarters supplied for him before drawing up a mission closure & presenting it to winston---THERE’S ALWAYS WORK TO DO, but her soft inquiry deters his collecting considerations towards how many WHITE LIES he can get away with & how much RESPECT to put into the tone for the guy that TOOK HIS JOB---

           jack glances over his shoulder,            blinking once behind the red,            before composure returns---

it’s a first step with BARELY any hesitancy, but he crosses the space to put a hand upon her shoulder ;

                                                    “ yeah ; wasn’t bad.                                                       keep up the good work. ”

                   yet, what solace can be found when he came back so DIFFERENT ?

STILL, the soldier bears CONVICTION -  may she still place some amount of faith in him.

                                                                “ i know.                                                               i’m trying to make it RIGHT. ”

❛ i’m sorry, have we met? ❜ - for their Overwatch verse // @fearfcrged​

INITIAL RESPONSE MONOTONE ; MONOSYLLABIC - no more than a GRUNT, though not one that’s DISMISSIVE--- it’s more towards ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, HUMORING them to let them PONDER--- 76 conceals his identity WELL, no more STRIKING RESEMBLANCE to the STRIKE COMMANDER---the familiarity is all in the cut of his jaw, but that’s kept from view behind tactical gear ; his old PR manager would WEEP.

          ALTHOUGH, maybe they’ve still seen him on the news.

                                                           “ probably NOT. ”

because meeting REYES ? he’ll never forget that. fresh-faced, unloaded from the dropship into the SEP hangar, sectioned into smaller groups with OTHER new greens hand-picked from prior military stations, SPECIALLY CHOSEN for a NEW KIND OF MISSION--- slapped with numerical callsigns & introduced to their new C-Os ; gabe wasn’t even his C-O at the time, not yet, not until the ranks dwindled down, the serum as cause--- but he still remembers first laying eyes on reyes, & the SWELL in his chest - unwelcome at the time, growing into something FOND as years passed---

                             meeting REAPER, however,                              saw that heart to BREAKING.
