Wriothesley x New Inmate ! Reader

Warnings | fluff, grammatical errors, wrio being down bad for reader, etc.

Note | reason for reader being sent to the fortress as a new inmate is up to your imagination <3

"I don't have any work today? Nice!"

For the past few months of being at the Fortress, you found that it was a simple and easy life. Especially since you barely had to work! Now, you weren't sure if it was because you were a new inmate or something, but, honestly, you didn't care by this point since you got to laze around and do nothing for most of the day.

Honestly, it was the perfect life for you. Way easier than what you had to deal with on a daily basis back on the surface.

You felt ... at peace. Sure you were surrounded with people who committed more worse crimes than you, but at least none of them held any sort of hostility towards you. They welcomed you here just fine. And, along with a welcome from the inmates when you first arrived also came a welcome from the Duke.

In your eyes, he was an absolute dream. He had a quick wit and a body that looked good good to be true, and his face was easy on the eyes too. In other words, having a sight like him around the Fortress definitely put the icing on the cake.

Though, despite your attraction to the man you never did have the courage to actually say or do anything about it. Not that you minded. You have a particularly long sentence and, hell, even when your time here is over you might decide to stay awhile and see what new life awaited you here.

"Huh?"

Another female innate who sleeps on the bed next to yours looked over and noticed the little gift in your hands. She couldn't help but to grin, "ooo, a gift? Who's it from?"

You scratched the back of your head, "honestly, I have no idea."

The other inmate shrugged, "well, it isn't uncommon to receive gifts from the surface."

"Isn't that considered contraband or whatever that word is?"

"Oh trust me, all mail is looked through before its sent to us prisoners, so that gift is perfectly fine if it found its way into your hands. Now, if you'll excuse me, I got an early shift. See ya, y/n."

"Yeah, see ya..."

You didn't bother to watch her leave ad you looked down at the gift in your hands. Settling back into your bed, you took a seat. Your hands shakingly unwrapping the gift while also being careful not to tear the paper.

This better not be a gift from my sister... that bitch totally left me for dead.

That was another thing about the crime you committed, your sister was in on it but ditched you when you got caught. So if she sent a gift, then you know that you'll definitely blow a fuse.

Opening the small box, however, you knew it wasn't from your sister.

It was a necklace with a rainbow rose glass pendant on it.

If there was one thing you knew, it was that your sister wasn't as kind.

So, could this be a secret admirer's doing? It couldn't be someone from the Fortress, right? None of the inmates you knew had the means of getting their hands on something like this.

Maybe it was someone from the surface? Ahh..., but you were never close to anyone up there, and you were sure you never caught anyone's eye either.

Questions on who it could be swirled around your head for the remainder of the day, but, of course, despite those questions it didn't stop you from wearing such a lovely gift. A gift that didn't go unnoticed by Wriothesley whi just so happened to catch you wearing it at lunch.

And just as he had thought, it looked very pretty on you.

"You're so weird."

"Thank you, Sigewinne."

"That wasn't a compliment... I just don't see why you won't go up to them and tell them how you feel."

"For one thing, Sigewinne, we're not exactly close enough for that. Besides, the only few words I said to them were the casual greetings I give to all prisoners when they come to the Fortress."

Sigewinne huffed, "well, just promise you won't be a secret admirer for long, ok? Cause they are very good looking and I wouldn't be surprised if someone else managed to wisk them off their feet before you do."

Wriothesley rolled his eyes as he turned to head back to his office before glancing at your smiling face one more time as you chatted away with your newly made friends.

Cute.

Love and Deepspace: The Story So Far Part 2

A summary of everything that has happened in the main story thus far. Obviously, spoilers below the cut.

See Part 1. Part 3. Part 4.

5 months after the explosion: Lumiere (Xavier) destroys a number of protocores in the N109 Zone, throwing the area into chaos.

6 months after the explosion (about early January):

Day 1 (Wednesday):

MC is at HQ. She has been overworking and not sleeping well. Tara and Captain Jenna are worried about her. (MC gets an appointment reminder call. Her cell phone shows it is currently 10:45 on Wednesday). MC goes to a doctor's appointment at Zayne's office. He has an emergency cardiac surgery. She falls asleep while waiting and remembers when she gave Caleb the necklace before he left for Aerospace Academy in Skyhaven. She wakes in Zayne's office. After discussing her recovery from the explosion, Zayne gives her a lockbox that contains a letter from Grandma. A Wanderer then appears in Zayne's office. After they fight it, Zayne's arm is frozen stiff. After MC leaves, Zayne remembers a conversation with Grandma. He told her her condition was serious and she said her time has come. She asks Zayne to look after MC as he promised, saying that by helping her he helps himself. That night, MC opens the letter and learns that her heart was fused to an Aether core in experiments her Grandma participated in. She calls Zayne to confirm and he tells her her former doctor, Dr. Noah, might know more.

Day 2:

MC meets up with Zayne while waiting for transportation to Snowcrest in the Arctic where Dr. Noah lives. After helping fight some Wanderers, they acquire transportation. They make it to Snowcrest and meet with Dr. Noah. They discuss the Aether Core and MC learns one of the researchers joined Onychinus. The rest have died or disappeared. Later Zayne and MC watch an aurora and talk. She learns that he lost someone he worked with on Mt. Eternal. That night, MC goes through the data and realizes that the protocore she found in the No Hunt Zone has the same frequency as her heart, indicating it was modified by Onychinus using an Aether core.

Day 3:

The next day, MC returns to Linkon, while Zayne heads into Mt. Eternal for research.

Day 4 (Sunday, per MC's Phone (likely January 3rd or 10th of 2049)):

Back in Linkon, MC begins researching Onychinus and the N109 Zone at UNICORN HQ. That night, she runs into Xavier on the subway. She realizes she hasn't seen him in over a month. They soon realize they are stuck in a loop on the train. A Wanderer that uses mirrors and glass, a Tezcatlipoca has trapped them. They fight it, and MC gets the protocore. They go out for food and MC asks if Xavier is Lumiere, but Xavier says Lumiere should be about 40 by now. As they walk home, they discuss Lumiere and what it would take to get into the N109 Zone. Then they discover they live in the same building. Xavier says he moved in over 6 months ago, implying he has lived there longer than MC. They agree to meet up the next day and part ways.

Day 5:

MC and Xavier meet at his apartment the next day and discuss the Aether core and N109 zone. MC admits she wants to look into it because of her family and wonders if eventually she and Xavier will be enemies. Distressed, he decides to prove that he is on her side by giving her 24 hour highest level Hunter access. Xavier tells her he hopes she finds the truth. They part ways so MC can use her new access to figure out how to get into the N109 Zone. Returning to Her apartment, MC searches the Hunter Database for information. Then she connects to someone sketchy who has information about an unsolved murder 2 years before. MC thinks the murder is clearly Onychinus’ doing. The man was connected with Ever Pharmaceutical. As she wraps up the conversation, the man asks if she would like to pursue a bounty. The wanted poster is for Rafayel, dead or alive.

Continue to Part 3.

DCA Info Part 31: Meet Vidya Nazari 🏝️

Vidya Nazari (ヴィディヤ・ナザリ, Vu~idiya Nazari) is the dorm leader of Magiaoasis. She is the crown princess of the Oasis Kingdom who does charity work to help the commoners of her kingdom.

History

Vidya was born and raised in the Oasis Kingdom and is the daughter of its sultan, Faizan Nazari, making her the princess of the nation.

Vidya sadly never got to have a normal childhood like the other children. Due to her royal status, she knew that she would be at the risk of assassination attempts. At a very young age she had to learn how to defend herself, she did this willingly and her father hasn't noticed. She knows that the guards outside her chambers aren't going to be enough to keep the assassins away.

At some point during her childhood, during a festival held in honor of her birthday, she met Kalim Al-Asim and the two spent the day having fun and the two became friends.

Until she came to DCA, she became more open and sincere to other students.

Personality

Generous to the core, Vidya simply wishes to help both her kingdom and the common folk prosper. She harbors a deep hatred of nobles using their influence to abuse and belittle those lower than them which results in her acting passive aggressive towards the nobles of her kingdom. Vidya can be mischievous and use it to be a bit of a vigilante in helping out her people. She dislikes the fact that her father wants to maintain an image with nobles. But she doesn't trust people who she thinks will bring her father down.

Vidya is stated to have paranoia about the consequences of being royalty and even has nightmares of being assassinated in the middle of the night. In addition to this, she had issues distinguishing if someone wishes to be her friend or if someone is only interested in using her for her status and wealth.

Vidya always wears a facade and rarely gets to convey how she really feels.

Appearance

Vidya is a young woman of average height in her late teens. She has light tan skin, turquoise green almost teal colored eyes and long plum purple hair that reaches down to her below her hips.

2020 School Uniform

Originally Vidya wore a plum gray top with a ruffle bottom and gold detailing underneath a teal blue jacket with floral patterns, navy gem buttons, pale blue ruffle sleeves, and gold bands on the sleeves. She also wears a teal blue overskirt with the same floral patterns as the jacket and is attached to a pale blue belt with a gold flower design in the center and attached to it are a pair of gold waist chains with burgundy circular jewels. Underneath the overskirt, Vidya wears pale blue pants with ruffle hems and there's a gold band on her left knee. For footwear, Vidya wears a pair of grayish purple and gold heeled sandals with indigo gems and a pink flower decoration.

Vidya accessorizes with a gold circlet with rounded arches and teardrop charms, a pink flower hair clip that appears to be attached to a pair of gold swirls, three blue crystal diamonds and hoops attached to gold chains with maroon jewels. Vidya also has a gold collar and necklace with maroon jewels, a pink flower pin where her brooch is and a pair of grayish purple fingerless gloves.

2021 School Uniform

Vidya now sports a teal blue gold trimmed bolero jacket with slightly shorter light blue puff sleeves with gold bands that have indigo gems, the top underneath the jacket has changed to with the neckline featuring gold details and indigo gem buttons. The overskirt now has gold trim and is attached to a gold belt with an indigo circular gem, the belt is also attached to gold waist chains with teardrops on them. The heeled sandals now have teal straps with indigo gems and gold ankle straps with light blue diamond gems.

Vidya's accessories have also been changed the circlet now has a circular indigo jewel, the flower hair clip has the glass diamonds and swirls fused to be on top of the circular gem, the gold collar now has rounded arches, and the necklace now has light blue diamonds.

Dorm Uniform

While in her dorm, Vidya wears a semi off-shoulder top with gold trim and the center part being light blue and the bottom portion being a slightly darker shade with a peacock feather print. The details present on bottom portion of the top carry over to the sleeves. She also wears a pair of light blue pants underneath a blue ombre overskirt with peacock feather print. For footwear, Vidya sports a pair of gold heels with gold ankle bands.

Vidya accessorizes with gold accessories, these include: a circlet with beads and a circular charm with a flower design in the center, a pair of earrings that resemble vines with amber beads on them, a beaded necklace, a belt and a set of three bracelets on each hand. The most prominent accessory shown is the blue transparent sari with gold trim.

School Statistics

Vidya is an 18 year old 3rd year student. She is classified as Student #14 and is in Class 3-E. She is a member of the Gardening Research Club Club and her best subject is Cultural Dance. Her favorite school subject is Griffin Disc because she enjoys the rush she feels when playing the sport. Her least favorite school subject is Ballroom Dance because she thinks ballroom dancing is too standard and no fun unlike cultural dance.

For her idol performances, Vidya has a rather powerful vocal range she uses it to sing songs in their own language no matter how fast the tempo is. Her voice is also fitting for rock songs.

For her choreography, Vidya is very good with cultural dances, able to memorize each step in short time. She is also good with energetic, freestyle dances too.

Relationships

Family

Vidya wishes for the her work to acknowledged by her father. It angers her that he doesn't seem to notice the issues of poverty being ignored.

Confidants

Vidya has a personal retainer who is a tiger beastman named Rajin. He often spars with Vidya but only to learn more sword techniques from her. Vidya chose him to work as her servant when he was being beaten by a noble's guard. He was an orphan with nowhere to go, he swears his life to be her eyes and ears when she isn't around the palace.

Vidya also has a mutual in the form of Alejandro De Oro, the son of a Marqués. He would always go to banquets to see some poor guy's pride get hurt.

Pet

Vidya has a pet albino elephant named Asha. She is still a young elephant but she is timid and has a garden complete with a house and a man-made pool for her. Asha is a rescue elephant, Vidya saved her from being mistreated from a traveling circus. Asha only likes to be around Vidya and won't let anyone get near unless Vidya was around. Vidya made time to be around Asha and would give her pet a bath herself.

Fellow Students

Vidya is known to have a friendly rivalry with fellow student and dorm leader, Evonie. She is also friends with Jinlong.

Night Raven College Students

Kalim met Vidya at a festival in her honor and he was obviously a happy-go-lucky boy and just dragged her everywhere, showing her the fun things he could do and hopes that she might like it too. Vidya is too overwhelmed but tries to be polite. But then she felt her soul ascend when he got her on the magic carpet with him. Out of all the nobles who attended, she kept in touch with Kalim the most because at an early age Vidya appreciates that fact that he didn't treat her like glass, even though being high in the sky with no safety was terrifying. She knows the heavy price of being in the life they lead. Luxury comes with treachery. There are many people who want her out of the picture, the same can be said for Kalim. He only has to eat food made by Jamil due to an attempted food poisoning that sent Jamil into a coma. Vidya did get along with Kalim and at some point envied him since he can still smile despite all the hell he has to go through.

Jamil is a very observant boy and he knows when someone has ulterior motives. But because Vidya was introduced into his and Kalim's lives at a young age, he's learned to trust her. He could see in her body language that she is on high alert when it comes to parties and events while Kalim happily laughs carefree. He soon became friends with Vidya. Since they've become friends at a young age, so probably one exception that he trusts her fully to make sure nothing happens to Kalim. He also appreciates the fact that she can look after herself. Vidya has become the person who would look after Kalim when Jamil is absent or doing other tasks. She's gotten good with using her unique magic to keep Kalim out of trouble.

Romance

Though she plans on ruling by herself, if Vidya were to choose a partner, she needs someone who is smart and someone she can trust around the palace, she knows that many would stab her in the back. So if her partner isn't swayed by the promises of wealth and genuinely wants to be with her, she'll accept them as her significant other.

Powers and Abilities

• Magic: Much like her fellow students, Vidya can use magic.

• Agility: Vidya is said to have good agility to a point where she could dodge knives.

• Swordplay: Vidya is also shown to be a very skilled swordswoman. Her skills come into play during assassination attempts.

• Athletic Prowess: Vidya is said to be very athletic, excelling at Maglift and other sports.

• Weapon Handing: Vidya is said to be skilled at handing weapons.

• Landscaping: Vidya is said to be skilled at Landscaping.

Unique Magic

Vidya's unique magic is called "Golem Guard" (壮大砂岩の花/ゴーレム・ガード, Gōremu Gādo; lit. "Grand Sandstone Blossom"). She is able to summon golems made from sandstone to do as she commands. Mostly they are used to fix gardens and carry donations.

Voice

According to her bio, Vidya would be voiced by Moe Yamazaki, known for her work as a musical performer.

Trivia

• Her birthday is on September 23rd, making her a Libra.

• She is 175 cm tall.

• Her favorite food is Kebabs while her least favorite food is any kind of bitter food. She dislikes being watched and fake sincerity.

• She enjoys growing plants.

• Vidya’s overblot would happen outside the palace due to her father being insistent that she marry someone, writing off her efforts, not realizing that she is trying to prove herself worthy of ruling by herself.

• Vidya would inherit the Oasis Kingdom’s throne that isn’t through marriage.

• Vidya favors desserts that have cinnamon in them.

• Vidya would smell like tropical fruits with a hint of spice.

• Her signature scent would be a mixed scent of spices and flowers from gardening.

• Vidya’s worst fear is losing the people she cared about and not having enough power to prevent it. She is aware in every waking moment that they would be gone if she didn’t keep herself aware.

• Vidya was originally going to be a party girl who has super luxurious parties. But Phoenix decided against it and made her a more responsible royal with wit.

Hey, for the ask game: 3, 5, 7, 14, 22 & 28? :3

for these questions, i'll answer for dr. carl hill from re-animator (1985)

3. Do they wear the other’s clothes? (sweatshirt, bandana, necklace, etc.)

considering i am 5'2" and he is 6'3", we don't really share anything.

5. Describe their cozy night in.

he'll make me my favorite tea, and he'll have some blood in a wine glass prepared for himself.

some nights i'll sit in his lap, my head on his shoulder while he reads a book out loud to me. it's usually whatever he's reading for leisure at the time.

other nights i can persuade him to put an old movie on the tv set. we'll stay up together watching it. he has strong opinions on newer (anything from '74 - '84) cinema, but he humors me.

7. Would they build a pillow fort together just because?

i would have to put the idea out there, but on a usual occasion it isn't something we'd do.

14. How do their personalities compliment each other? How do they clash?

we are both very passionate about our studies, and we both have short fuses. that being said, he's willing to go to morally questionable lengths for his studies that i would not go with mine. doesn't mean i don't support or help him, i just wouldn't do it for myself.

22. What reminds each of their partner?

things that remind me of carl: bats, the human brain.

i have given him a little bat broach, actually!

things that remind carl of me: werewolves, wolf imagery in general.

he gave me "matching" moon broach.

28. What are their thoughts on pet names? Do they have any?

carl calls me things like "sweet heart" and "darling."

i call him "pookie." i am not allowed to do this in public.

THANK FOR THE ASK :D

Release: October 10, 2004

Lyrics:

It's quiet now and what it brings is everything

Comes calling back, a brilliant night, I'm still awake

I looked ahead, I'm sure I saw you there

You don't need me to tell you now that nothing can compare

You might have laughed if I told you

You might have hidden your frown

You might have succeeded in changing me

I might have been turned around

It's easier to leave than to be left behind

Leaving was never my proud

Leaving New York, never easy

I saw the light fading out

Now life is sweet, and what it brings I tried to take

But loneliness, it wears me out, it lies in wait

And all not lost, still in my eye

Shadow of necklace across your thigh

I might've lived my life in a dream, but I swear, this is real

Memory fuses and shatters like glass

Mercurial future, forget the past

It's you, it's what I feel

You might have laughed if I told you (it's pulling me apart)

You might have hidden your frown (change)

You might have succeeded in changing me (it's pulling me apart)

I might have been turned around (change)

It's easier to leave than to be left behind (it's pulling me apart)

Leaving was never my proud (change)

Leaving New York, never easy (it's pulling me apart)

I saw the light fading out

You find it in your heart

It's pulling me apart

You find it in your heart

Change

I told you forever (find it in your heart)

I love you forever (it's pulling me apart)

I told you I love you (find it in your heart)

I love you forever (change)

I told you forever (find it in your heart)

I love you forever (it's pulling me apart)

I told you I love you (find it in your heart)

I love you forever (change)

You might have laughed if I told you (it's pulling me apart)

You might have hidden your frown (change)

You might have succeeded in changing me (it's pulling me apart)

I might have been turned around (change)

It's easier to leave than to be left behind (it's pulling me apart)

Leaving was never my proud (change)

Leaving New York, never easy (it's pulling me apart)

I saw the light fading out (change)

Songwriter:

Leaving New York, never easy (it's pulling me apart)

I saw the light fading out (change)

Leaving New York, never easy (it's pulling me apart)

I saw the light fading out (change)

The Beginning Of The End (Episode 2)

Zuri managed to arrange a ball in mere hours, which even for her, is impressive. She manages to transform the entire castle, the town, the people and somehow, the entire royal family. She starts with me first, claiming that I take the longest to get ready, she acquires a lovely jazzberry coloured gown, she paints my lips a dark red and gives me one of her own extravagant necklaces to highlight the boat neckline, when I am finally able to look in the mirror, I see someone who is worthy of the title Princess, I look and feel beautiful. Zuri doesn’t stay with me for long, moving onto mother as quickly as possible.

When the ball begins, I am expected to sit at the head of court while mother addresses the returned soldiers. My only job at the moment is to sit still and appear regal, which considering my track record is an almost impossible task. We have been informed that father will be the last to return, as he wants to have a final word with the rulers of mesognes, and that they will be arriving with him. I adjust my glasses and quietly watch the party, not particularly in a mood to dance, I watch Zuri and Gabriel fool around. My sister had taken her shoes off at some point, probably to better feel the vibration caused by the music. They dance perfectly in sync, their bodies practically melded together, they are perfectly balanced, each other’s yin and yang, perfect in every way, their souls fused together. I find myself wondering if I will ever fall like that, if I will ever give myself to someone fully, and expect nothing back, to love like that is perhaps to truly live.

I tear my gaze away from them, not wanting to hurt myself any further. I watch as Eren pours himself a glass of wine. A highly illegal glass of wine. Finally! Something to distract me.

♕

“You know I could have you arrested for that, right?” I startle and whip around, there stands the heir.

“Oh leave me be, Daru, it’s not like this is the first time,” “Admitting to your crimes, huh Captain Abbas?” She laughs and I smile, I haven’t seen her laugh in so long, and despite the music, I can hear it, it’s a deep true laugh. I missed it. I missed her.

“Give it here, captain dearest.” She reaches for the glass and I tilt away, falling flat on my ass, the glass breaks, spilling wine all over my clean white shirt. I let out a string of curses, forgetting for a moment that the future queen of Aiga stands over me.

“Tch, don’t make me wash your mouth out with soap Eri, We can get you a tunic from one of the guest wings,” She helps me up, tutting at my misbehaviour.

♕

We walk around the castle like we did as children; we try to avoid running into the hundreds of servants running around, trying to finish the last few chores before joining the party. We help where we can but mostly we just talk. Even after months of letters, there is still much to discuss. From Gabriel and Zuri’s wedding to the war to the quality of life at sea, there is no topic left untouched. By the time we find a new shirt, we’ve lapsed into a comfortable silence.

I find myself, staring at Daru, trying to see if anything’s changed since we last met. Her hair’s definitely longer, she stands with more grace. No longer a child, her eyes seem darker tonight, lips redder, she looks regal, but if you look at her for a little long, you start to notice that she’s unsure of herself, you start to see that she feels inadequate. I tell her as much.

“I don’t feel inadequate! I’m Daraja Adesina, I am the picture of perfection honestly,” She still uses humour to deflect things, glad to know some things don’t change. “Are you?” Knowing fully well, that she has the power to banish me.

I’ve always been good at getting on people’s very last nerve, Daraja seems to be the only person who can withstand my constant bothering.

“I-” Whatever she says fades into the background as a ship rapidly approaches our shore, a ship bearing our crest. The king is finally home.

♕

Eren’s face splits into a grin, and I bristle, nothing that I have just confessed is something to be laughed at, but then I notice that they aren’t looking at me. No, of course not, their gaze instead is fixed on the window behind me.

“Wha-” The words are barely out of mouth before their cold hands are clasped around my wrist and I’m being dragged down towards the ball. I’m winded by the time we reach;my gown sticks to my back, a few strands of hair have escaped my bun and my crown is a little lopsided but I manage to look dignified and sophisticated. I might be a little too proud of that.

Eren is still smiling, his hair’s wild, the too big shirt hangs off her gangly frame but she looks alive, she reminds me of when we were children, racing and laughing, oblivious to the war on our shore. I shake my head, willing myself to focus on the present, not on what we have lost, on the party and not on the names etched onto the castle walls. I hope they will be there forever, a final remembrance of those forgotten.

“Dance with me,” Zuri’s voice is the one to pull me away, she’s breathless and shining, crown perched neatly on her head, laughter dancing in her eyes. I find myself laughing, happy to be alive, happy to dance with my sister, my head lounging delicately on her shoulder, her soft vanilla scent enveloping me and the soft murmur of music ebbing and flowing.

“Time to switch partners princess,” I turn and there stands Gabriel, his bright eyes glint in the dim light and he looks so very in love, my heart twists. I wonder if my parents lived like this before we were born. I step away and almost immediately am snatched away by Eren, they spin me around to the upbeat music, barely giving me a second to breathe before dipping into the next move. My worries fade, and I let myself flow with the music.

We dance for a long time, until my feet practically give out, and Eren has had his fill. I stumble to a dark corner, taking them with me, as he stumbles behind me, he picks up two glasses full of wine, a deep red which reminds me uncomfortably of blood, but I drink nonetheless, it tastes sweet and I feel it go to my head but I can’t bring myself to care.

As I calm down and start watching the others dance, my companion leans down and whispers “When we were talking,I saw our ship through the window upstairs, that’s why I brought you down, he should be right outside the door right now,” Before I fully process what they’ve said, the doors are thrown open and Vea Amaris barges in.

I had so much fun re-making the wardrobe for the new Monster High Movie that I decided to make on for Ever After High too - y'know, if Disney wouldn't sue every last penny out of Mattel if they did that (despite Descendants being a rip-off)...

I made this on the base of Ever After being in a more modern setting rather than the fused modern-fairy tale of the show, because... I'm not a costume designer xD

Raven Queen

I love Raven's original design, but I don't think the skirt would translate well into live-action. I chose purple leather pants instead and gave her a leather jacket - if it had winged beading down the sleeves, it would be *chef's kiss*!

The chain at the top right is a hip chain, I think that'd look really good with the pants (who I'd like to be high waisted) and the shirt (which took me forever to find!). I liked the dramatic boots and the almost Victorian necklace, I think it merges edgy and vintage really well!

For the hair, I wanted a more transitional color rather than the stripes - because that's how we get Descendants wigs. Do you want more Descendants wigs?? Didn't think so...

Apple White

This is probably my favourite of them all! I made Apple more preppy, like the overly-cheery class president she actually is. Her style is practical, sweet, and high class - I especially love the bow for her neck, I think it'd look adorable with a puff-sleeved white shirt! All in all, I just really like this outfit, I think it'd be a great way to transition her into live-action!

Maddie Hatter

For Maddie, I went in a more bubble-gym style. I did consider Lolita, but that seemed almost too sweet and matching for the daughter of the mad hatter - also, it gave me too much Alice vibes...

I tried to keep the base colours, but I also simplified them. I think Maddie in her cartoon outfit would look way too cartoony in a real setting, instead of quirky and odd. I'd like this to be her "bade outfit", and then I'd let a costume designer and the actress loose in a thrift shop to weird-ify it as much as possible!

Briar Beauty

I made Briar's outfit a bit more Victorian-inspired than her real one, because this is the outfit I think would look the worst in a live-action movie. A short, rose-patterned skirt and a laced crop top would suit her so well!

I gave her flats so she can run to all the parties she wants, and her hair is a lot more blended, though noticeably pink. IDK, I really like this outfit, though I think she'd look awesome with some rose-patterned pants too!

I liked the idea of the glasses being prescription and not sunglasses. I also think she'd kind of hat her tiara, seeing it as a sign of the inevitable...

Cerise Hood

Cerise is one of my favourite characters, if not the favourite. I liked her edgy cartoon-look, but I wanted to make it even more grunge and rough.

A hooded leather jacket (of course) and some big, baggy, ripped jeans would be such a cool look on her! The flat boots would be easier to run in, and I really like the idea of her with shorter, more manageable hair. Also, chains. Because of course.

Ashlynn Ella

Surprisingly, this was the easiest look to make! I think Ashlynn would be so pretty in a simple, blue floral dress with a pink cardigan and light blonde beachy curls! I also can't get over how good these shoes look (obviously an actual actor couldn't wear real glass stilettos)!

Also, can we take a moment to appreciate that clock purse? Look me in the eyes and tell me this outfit wouldn't 100% be Ashlynn!

#i swear i don't hate descendants #but I will never forgive disney for ruining ever after high #ever after high #monster high #raven queen #apple white #briar beauty #ashlynn ella #maddie hatter #cerise hood #ever after high characters #ever after high fanart #ever after high clothes

I took a glass fusing class and made four pins, two necklaces, five pairs of earrings, and a 7" square plate that I meant to look like a simplified view of a storm approaching a beach (with a little gold accent for fun)

FYI, in my community there were no prerequisites for this, and it was offered through the local parks and recreation department, so if you're wondering "how do I do things like that?" That's one way

PT. 10 Conundrums

Word count: 2.6k (10 mins read)

Characters: Ominis Gaunt, Sebastian Sallow, Livia Novik, Garreth Weasley, Poppy Sweeting.

Summary

Ominis Gaunt is, in his turn, roped into Livia Novik's plan to find the Promissum Mortis, and he's about to regret agreeing to enact a scandalous scene to let her into headmaster Black's office.

Read the tenth chapter below.

Sebastian | Hogwarts, Early September, 1893.

The fall is soft—painless. And as Sebastian tumbles down a dark and vacuous abyss, he almost believes he found himself in the grasp of Malisect again.

The landing, however, is pitiless, and as his senses couple back with his body, he jolts awake, his nails scratching at the knot of fabric noosing his throat.

Not Malisect. Definitely not Malisect.

Fear surges from primal depths, and in his panic, Sebastian sees his parents, eyes bleak, mouths ajar, necks purple with the poison; both lifeless and lying face up in the cellar library.

Ominis is on him in seconds, feeling his way to the knot of bedsheets. Fast enough, the collar loosens and Sebastian jerks upright, heaving.

“Are you all right?” Ominis asks him, concern roiling behind his milk-white eyes.

Sebastian’s fingers shoot to his neck. His flesh is feverishly hot. The morning light fuses through the mullions, mooring him to reality. He allows the familiar scents of his room to expunge the last dregs of his nightmare before replying—albeit with uncertainty: “I’m fine.”

Something, however, is amiss, and when Sebastian realizes he is fully dressed in yesterday’s clothes, it all comes back to him.

The Grimfire scorching his fingers; Livia touching the stained mirror; the dark figure speaking in a cavernous echo.

“How did we make it back here from the Room of Requirement?” He asks Ominis. “Do you remember leaving?”

Shaking his head, Ominis ambles to his dresser, then yanks a fresh shirt and trousers from the first drawer. “No. I woke up feeling this crushing weight on my chest, as if someone was sitting on me. Whatever that entity was, it either dazed us or teleported us in our beds.” He shrugs out of his shirt, then slides into the new one. “Whatever it is, I’m not eager to repeat the experience.”

Sebastian’s fingers card through his hair, the motion enough to leave a score of shivers on his scalp. Settling in him, an undescribable discomfort. It’s not a mouthful of sick or a pang of anxiety, but rather an itch that prickles at the back of his throat, as if he curled his toes on the edge of a cliff, leaning ever forward until the bottomless void calls him into its arms.

Uprooting himself from his bed, he stands before the looking-glass, and, to his surprise, finds himself unblemished. There isn’t even a necklace of bruises where the loop of bedsheets twined.

Ominis leans against the desk, his arms crossed before him, and Sebastian knows what his friend will say before he utters the words. “You don’t consider going back, right?”

Sebastian finds himself avoiding his friend’s stare, even though he knows it to be sightless. Ominis senses dismay the same way a dragon would its distressed brood, so he opts for the truth to pacify him. “Of course, I’ll go back. We don’t even know what this Collector is or what he wants. He gave us three questions. Feels to me like we’d be fools to make a final decision without at least asking them.”

“The thing noosed you,” Ominis points out.

Sebastian gives a dismissive laugh. “How do you know it wasn’t me who ensnared myself in my own bedsheets?”

Ominis’ lips twist in dissension, yet he says nothing at that, knowing all too well the fire of Sebastian’s obstinacy will only wax if he gives it oxygen.

When they are dressed and fed, they hurry to the Defense against the Dark Arts class and find themselves amidst a dissonant chatter.

How strange to see them all dizzying themselves in senseless palavers, not knowing that somewhere beneath the castle’s stone skin, an entity awaits.

Ghosts roam the corridors, poltergeists skirl through walls, thestrals stomp the school grounds, their bones showing in their wasted sheath, yet something tells Sebastian the Collector doesn’t belong to Hogwarts’ palimpsest of mysteries.

Again, his mother’s words roil in his brain.

There are wonderful things hidden behind Hogwarts’ skin. But there are sinister things, too.

Lost in his thoughts, Sebastian scarcely harks the shreds of conversations ebbing around him. Neither does he hear Poppy Sweeting’s wispy voice until she grazes his shoulder with her fingers.

“What?” He asks her as she snaps him out of his trance.

Her brown eyes are sleek with the diffidence Sebastian knows her to be plagued with. “Can I sit?”

He looks around him, to the occupied seats, realizing Livia will have nowhere to sit if he grants Poppy her wish.

If Livia comes to class at all, he reminds himself.

Poppy stands, expectant, her knuckles bent around her textbook, two scarlet florets thriving on her cheeks. Reluctantly, he nods and the Hufflepuff girl slides nervously in the chair next to him.

“I heard you dueled with the new student,” Poppy attempts meekly.

Sebastian offers her a faint smile, made all too aware of his placidity. “Yeah, I did.”

“How is she?”

A pleat forms between his brow as he strains to conceal his surprise. If Ominis or Amit or Leander had asked the same question, his answer would be nothing short of a eulogy.

He would tell them Livia Novik is alternatively a naked flame and a sheen of ice; that a word escaping her lips is excuse enough to want to ruin her in a single thrust; that she is a headache waiting to happen, and that, for all intents and purposes, he already feels the trepan of lust drilling through his skull.

But curated for Poppy, his answer is wholly different: “She’s… an acquired taste, but approachable.”

The description lacks substance, but Poppy nods regardless, peeling her book open before her.

As if she has been beckoned into the room by her mention alone, Livia streams in, her fearless demeanor miles away from Poppy’s. Her reputation is enough to curtail the most verbose students, and she lifts her head at the sudden hush, her green eyes needling through the rows of occupied seats until she finds Sebastian.

Warmth courses through his face and in lieu of offering a seat, he gives an apologetic shrug.

“Hey, new girl!” Garreth Weasley shouts from the second row on the other side of the platform, his hand tapping the empty chair next to him. “You can sit with me.”

Fucking Weasley.

Sebastian’s jaw cords so tight he fears his teeth will shoot out from his gums, and as Professor Hecat forgets herself into an agonizing lecture, Sebastian watches, powerless, Garreth sharing his textbook with Livia, both of them stitched together by the shoulder. Halfway through the class, Garreth succeeds in making her laugh, and Sebastian mulls over the soft angles of her face.

Has he seen this shade of spontaneous contentment on her before? Has he witnessed the way her teeth show but for a twinkle when she giggles so primly? Has he been on the receiving end of her tactile attention; the same she graces Garreth with when she coils her fingers around his forearm to entice him into passing her the book?

“Sebastian?” Poppy asks, drifting into sight and, once again, wresting him from his convulsive thoughts.

“Hm?”

Across the platform, Garreth leans in to whisper something in Livia’s ear and snags her another smile.

“I-I wanted to ask you something…”

His pupils leap to Poppy. A trickle of sweat breaks on her temple, crawling down the side of her ruddied face. Her fingers are pallid, wringing the fibers of her gold-and-black scarf as if they are soused through with water, but the wretched thing is dry as a sheaf of wheat.

“What is it?” He asks her, resting his cheek against his palm.

“I know the Hallow’s Eve ball is in almost two months, but… I was wondering if you’d like to—I mean, if I could go… with you?”

The words fall into him like through a well until the last two break the surface of his mind. He turns to her. “Me? The what? The ball?”

More red vines through Poppy’s face. “Yes… You can say no if you had other plans or even if you don’t, I mean… I’d understand if—”

“No, it’s…” He doesn’t know what to say, and for a moment, he itches to tell her he never had a smidge of interest for her; not even the slightest afterthought when he combed through his mind for another girl to release to. Another glance to a laughing Livia knifes deep into his gut, and he focuses back on Poppy. “Sure, we can go together.”

For the remainder of the class, Poppy is beaming.

Sebastian, on the other hand, chaws murderous thoughts for Weasley, his attention trained on the uncanny couple he forms with Livia Novik.

* * *

“If you had a whole basement at your disposal, why did you shepherd me into your bedroom, Sebastian Sallow?” Livia teases him as the metallic gate to the undercroft screeches vexingly on its rusted hinges.

Ominis leads the way, the small ripples of air his wand pushes around its tip whisking flurries of dust from the floor.

“You seemed like the kind of girl who’d squirm at the sight of spiders,” he replies.

“Is it because of my silk shirts?”

“The dainty hands.”

“Am I interrupting something?” Ominis cuts in when they are deep into the belly of their secret hideaway.

Sebastian leans against a pillar, the cold rock biting into his back. “I’d say you are, but I don’t want to impose my pettiness on Livia, even though she already did her good deed for the day speaking to Weasley.”

She glances around her to the statues gathering cobwebs and the gutted wooden crates.

The place is vast; its ceiling buttressed in stone; the floor uneven and clammy; the walls hoarding zealously on Sebastian and Omnis’ secrets.

Livia lets her fingers scuttle over the surface of the pillar where Sebastian nods. The scratch of her nails against the stone curls into his abdomen, and she turns to him with those eyes that scream defiance. “Another man you’ll uselessly provoke in a duel?”

Sebastian chuckles lightly. “With the amounts of drug emanations he inhales on the daily, Weasley can barely hold his wand on the right side up.”

She raises a brow. “Drugs?”

“He’s a potions prodigy—his sole talent,” Sebastian replies. “He got to producing his own questionable decoctions.”

Ominis sports one of his contemptuous smiles. “You’d know what you’re talking about, right, Sebastian? Aren’t you out of Malisect already?”

“Malisect?” Livia asks, and Sebastian shrugs.

“A liquid that enables you to hop between memories—to relive them at will.”

Something scrolls past her eyes. A glint Sebastian has not yet learned to interpret. A cautious interest?

“Hum, well…” she says. “Far from me the the idea of beheading this delightful banter, but I believe we have more pressing matters to discuss, namely the reason why we all time-skipped last night.”

Ominis doesn’t waste a second to give his opinion on the matter. “We shouldn’t meddle with this Collector figure. I couldn’t even see it, but the thing gave me the creeps. There was something in the air…”

“The smell of your own piss, perhaps,” Sebastian aims at him. “The thing did nothing to us, so it can’t be that ill-intentioned.”

“I disagree with both of you,” Livia says. “It’s not because the wolf doesn’t lurch at you straight away that it isn’t ravening, and I haven’t come this far to flee with my tail between my legs at the first show of teeth, either. We have three questions, and I intend to ask them.”

“I really didn’t think I’d have two Sebastians to contend with this year.”

Ominis’ dagger flies right past Sebastian. “You know, Ominis, you can give us your question. No one’s going to fault you for preferring the shelter of your blanket to the thrill of toying with mysterious forces.”

“You’re not helping our case,” Livia remarks. “Still, we should think about our questions carefully. There’s no way for us to know if we’ll get more questions later.”

“What’s your plan exactly?” Ominis asks, not without an ounce of annoyance lacing his voice. “I thought you two were after the Promissum Mortis; that you wanted to ask the Room of Requirement to conjure it for you?”

“I’m not sure the Room of Requirement can conjure the relic,” Livia explains. “Have you never wondered how the room conjures the objects contained within? Nothing—or no one—can simply make things. Matter has to be pulled from somewhere and rearranged. It can only be shaped, designed, never created.”

Sebastian lifts a brow. “What do you mean to say?”

“I mean, if the room gives us the Promissum Mortis, it could be a mimic, and magic this powerful has a very high chance of backfiring if channeled through a precarious vessel. Maybe this Collector can help us acquire the original…”

“Do you hear yourselves?” Ominis snaps. “Flaunting the risks about like it’s nothing… We walked into a shady room, shedding our blood as some kind of offering, then were sent back into our beds with a yoke of sheets around our necks, and now you want to do what exactly? Bargain with this entity we know nothing of to gain a relic that will, mostly likely, curse us and our entire progeny?”

Sebastian cannot help but smile at Ominis’ verbal lactation. “Good to know you thought of breeding yourself, so now I can make sure it doesn’t happen.”

Livia leaves the shadow of the pillar, oscillating close to Ominis. Sebastian watches as his friend tenses when he feels her entering his vicinity. “I’m not asking you to risk anything, Ominis.” Her fingers climb over his shoulder, and Sebastian feels the strain in his jaw once again. “I never properly thanked you for your help the other day. I’m aware you barely know me, and you didn’t have to agree to it, but I’m very grateful that you took the plunge for me.” Ominis’ gait softens, as if Livia’s leaches a thaumaturgic spell through her fingers. “But I’d ask you to give my intelligence the benefit of the doubt. I won’t be reckless. I just want to know what we’re dealing with before making any decision. Besides, if this entity is malevolent, it’d be wise of us to act before it lures less… cautious students into its trappings.”

Sebastian almost falls on his face when Ominis says: “Okay. Let’s work on our questions, then.”

The air laces with moisture over the course of the next hour as they sit around a table, scribbling questions and subsequently discarding them.

The paper fills with inquiries of a various nature, some more utilitarian, some more ontological.

“We should just ask it if its intentions are good or evil,” Sebastian suggests as the pang of hunger churns his stomach.

Livia shakes her head. “Good and evil are complicated matters to define. It’s too open for interpretation.”

“I agree with Livia,” Ominis voices. “We have to be smarter than this. Cover more ground.”

“What about we ask it what its weaknesses are?” Sebastian proposes. “So we’re prepared if it tries anything on us or on an impressionable second year…”

Ominis twists the nib of his pen on the paper, the stain growing around it. “The Collector might mislead you and manipulate the information to its advantage.”

“I agree with Ominis,” Livia says.

“Between the two of you, I really feel left out,” Sebastian sneers bitterly. “If you big brains have better ideas, fire away.”

In a heartbeat, Livia pushes her chair against the stone and stands, her eyes lucent.

In time, Sebastian will learn to read this shade and to fear seeing it smolder through Livia’s eyes, but for the time being, it sends a tingle down his spine. She gathers her scrolls and her cloak. “I’ll see you tonight. I need to do something before we meet with the Collector again.”

Without another word, she leaves them stranded and Ominis reclines in his seat, his brow stitched with his puzzlement. “This girl is a little obnoxious.”

Sebastian’s lips curl. “Oh, you have no idea.”

Design Era : Late Victorian. Era Information : The Late Victorian or Aesthetic period was a time of great cultural and artistic flourishing in Europe and the United States, and this was reflected in the jewelry of the time. The Aesthetic movement, which emphasized beauty and art for art's sake, was particularly influential on jewelry design during this time. Late Victorian or Aesthetic period jewelry is known for its intricate detailing and use of precious materials such as gold, silver, and diamonds. It often featured motifs such as flowers, animals, and nature scenes, and was inspired by a variety of cultural movements, including the Arts and Crafts movement, which sought to return to traditional craftsmanship and natural materials. One of the most distinctive features of Late Victorian or Aesthetic period jewelry is its emphasis on the use of enamel. Enamel is a type of glass-like material that is fused to a metal surface, and it was often used to add color and detail to jewelry. The French firm, Cartier, was particularly known for its use of enamel in its Late Victorian or Aesthetic period pieces. Late Victorian or Aesthetic period jewelry remains popular and is highly collectible to this day. It is often associated with the elegance and refinement of the time period, and is often seen as a symbol of wealth and sophistication.. Materials : Diamond. Material Information : Rose-cut diamond The rose cut is a type of diamond cut that was popular in the 1500s and remained common during the Georgian and Victorian eras. It is characterized by a flat bottom with a dome-shaped crown that rises to a single apex, giving the diamond a shape that resembles a rose bud. Rose cut diamonds can have anywhere from 3 to 24 facets, which are small, flat surfaces that are cut into the diamond to create a specific shape and enhance its sparkle and brilliance. Unlike modern diamond cuts, such as the round brilliant or princess cut, the rose cut has a lower crown and a less brilliant appearance. It is a more primitive diamond cut that was used before the development of more advanced cutting techniques. However, it is still a popular choice for collectors of antique jewelry and for those who appreciate the timeless beauty of vintage cuts. Rose cut diamonds are typically less expensive than diamonds with more modern cuts because they require less labor and material to produce. They are often used as accent stones in jewelry designs or as the main gemstone in vintage-style pieces. Despite their lower price, rose cut diamonds can still be beautiful and valuable, and they are a popular choice for those who appreciate the unique charm and character of antique jewelry. 14k 14k gold is a popular choice for use in jewelry because it is durable, yet still relatively affordable compared to higher karat golds like 18k or 24k. It is made up of 58.5% pure gold and is mixed with other metals to make it harder and more durable. 14k gold is available in a range of colors, including yellow, white, and rose, and is commonly used in a variety of jewelry pieces such as rings, earrings, necklaces, and bracelets. One of the advantages of 14k gold is that it is more resistant to wear and tear than pure gold, which makes it suitable for everyday wear. However, it is still softer than other alloys such as stainless steel or platinum, so it may require more maintenance to keep it looking its best. Overall, 14k gold is a popular choice for those who want the look and feel of gold, but at a more affordable price point. Silver Silver is a white metallic element that is known for its excellent conductivity of heat and electricity. It is represented on the periodic table of elements by the symbol Ag, and it is a member of the noble metals, which are known for their excellent resistance to oxidation. Silver is a relatively soft metal, with a hardness that is intermediate between gold and copper. It is more malleable and ductile than gold, which means that it can be easily shaped and molded into various forms. However, it is not as hard as copper, which means that it is more prone to scratches and other types of damage. Because of its softness, silver is usually alloyed with another metal to harden it enough to maintain the desired shape and details when it is used in jewelry and other decorative objects. This helps to give it the necessary strength and durability for use in these types of applications. Throughout history, silver has played a prominent role in the production of jewelry and objets d'art. It is prized for its beauty and versatility, and it is often used in a wide variety of different types of jewelry, including rings, earrings, pendants, and bracelets. It is also used in decorative objects, such as candlesticks, vases, and other decorative items.. Dimensions : 45 x 18 x 11 mm. Gender : unisex. Weight (in grams) : 5.6. Condition : Very good condition - slightly used with small signs of wear. Offers : no. https://www.binenbaum.com/product/diamond-14k-silver-victorian-brooch-14923-8423/

Hello can I get [Necklace] for Jinana+Adina? :3c

(But of course! :3)

---

The little envelope of quilted silk unfolds to reveal a necklace of colorful beads, gleaming under the lamps. At its center hangs a dragonfly of fused glass, its wings veined with metallic rainbow colors - indeed, all of the glass shines with shifting shades that vary with the angle of the light.

"Do you remember the glass-worker we saw before?" Jinana smiles. "I passed by their booth the other day, and I just couldn't resist picking this up... I think it will suit you."

"It's so pretty!" Adina exclaims. "Help me put it on?"

Jinana's lips curl just a fraction more. "Happy to." S/he steps behind Adina, pressing lightly against her back as s/he reaches over her shoulders to lift the piece from its protective silk. Little goosebumps appear on Adina's skin as the cool glass touches her collarbone, increasing as Jinana's fingertips brush over the nape of her neck, moving the hair aside. S/he hooks the clasp securely, then adjusts the necklace so that it sits properly, centered at the hollow of Adina's throat.

A gesture brings a hand mirror over from a shelf, held before them by magic. It reflects Adina's smiling face, with a fetching little flush on her cheeks, and Jinana smiling back over her shoulder. "See?" s/he says. "Beautiful. And the necklace looks nice, too." S/he laughs lightly.

#Jenjamin's writing tag #Adina #Jinana aditya #ask memes answered #thanks for sending in! :3 these two are so much fun #bein the flirty lil guys they are ahaha

Hitman 2 Isle of Sgáil Bugged Come Fly With Me Workaround March 2023

In the aisle of Sgáil map of Hitman 2 there’s a challenge titled Come Fly With Me. The goal of this challenge is to exit via helicopter (NOT the helicopter exit from the top of the tower requiring the hand flare).

The problem with this is that the exit is bugged and more often than not WILL NOT SPAWN, ie you approach the exit but the exit isn’t available and no prompt to exit shows up.

I have discovered a workaround for this on Xbox One today so here’s the steps I took to unlock it.

1. Starting location as the Architects Lounge/Bar

2. Loadout:

default pistol

Smuggled Fish to the mortuary.

Lock pick

Concealable knife

3. Head down to the funeral and enter the mortuary. (Yellow arrow) Take out the 3 raiders and mortician (red X) and hide the bodies in the side room where you can retrieve the fish.

4. Put on the funeral robes disguise (blue circle) then exit the mortuary and sneak up behind the harpist. Signal her to start playing then quickly enter the coffin. (Yellow arrow) This triggers the funeral service. Having the fish will also unlock the challenge Fin.

5. Wait to the end of the service and Zoe Washington will approach. After a moment a kill prompt will appear and use this moment to take her out (orange X) (this will complete one of the assassination challenges). Quickly drag her body around behind the coffin and dump it over the edge into the water. (Green arrow)

6. Go back to the mortuary and change into the Raider disguise. Exit the mortuary and head into the gallery area. (Blue arrow)

7. Make your way to the little bathroom in the hall and overflow the sink. (Blue arrow + pink mark) Hide in the crate and wait for one of the guards (red X near staircase x2) to investigate. Pop out and kill him then dump him in the crate. Repeat this to take out the second guard.

8. Now make your way into the side room with the two custodians. (Blue arrow and 2 red X) Take them out and hide their bodies in the crate. Pick up the mace. (Yellow dot)

9. You want to do one of two things here. You can either try and get lucky and lure Blake Nathaniel into this side room by throwing the mace OR knock him out right as he starts ascending the stairs by throwing the mace at him. (Teal dotted line)

10. Quickly drag him into this side room and hide him behind the desk (larg teal dot) nearest to the crate you hid the custodians in. Change into his outfit.

11. Exit the room and head upstairs (teal arrow) to where the Raider is guarding a Custodian (red X) who’s working at a laptop. On a box just past the custodian is a wrench. (Red dot) Pick it up. Now head back through the door you went through to access this hall. On the left is a little nook with a fusebox. (Yellow dot)

12. Turn this fuse box off to attract the Raider. Head back to the custodian on the laptop and while the Raider is investigating the fusebox pacify the custodian with the wrench and quickly snap his neck.

13. Use the laptop (yellow marking) to lower the glass case around the necklace in the gallery.

14. Run down to the gallery and take the necklace. (Yellow dot in gallery on previous map) You can do this without causing alarm if you’re dressed as Blake Nathaniel.

15. Once you have the necklace go find Sophia Washington and talk to her. She’ll take you to a room with a big mirror (teal arrow but just follow her and she’ll lead you there) and a conversation will happen before she sends the guards out and asks you to fasten the necklace around her neck. Use this opportunity to strangle her with the necklace (this also completes one of the assassination challenges) (orange X)

16. Hide Sophia’s body in the crate to the right of the door.

17. Exit this room and run down to the little side room where the two custodians were and Blake Nathaniel’s naked body is. (Teal arrow again)

18. Manual save here on the chance the game screws you over with the exit.

19. Change back into the Raider disguise (blue dot) and hop out the window. You should be right at the helipad now so run straight to the helicopter and use the exit that should be active (blue arrow) if you’ve followed the above steps.
