Beyond the Lights

I. Chapter One: Rain on Me

Summary: Sariah is a RnB Artist in a rocky relationship with a trap artist by the name of Dame. The relationship goes downhill when she takes a family trip without him.

Warnings: Implied Domestic Violence. Drug use. Addiction

I. Montego Bay, Jamaica

Sariah coming around more often was a surprise to Joshua. Her presence on this trip triggered the sudden urge to talk to her. She just hasn’t put herself in a private space where he could. He knew she was avoiding him. Joshua has always been attracted to Sariah. From the moment he first met her at his twin’s engagement announcement, to her twenty-first birthday party. He watched the way she picked through the assortment of fruit provided by the Villa owners. He watched her fix herself a bowl, doing a little happy dance that made him smile. His eyes never left her until she was no longer in his sight line. A deep sigh leaves his lips. According to Jonathan she was off limits, or so he says. Jonathan looks at his twin brother with a smirk, He nudged his arm, breaking Joshua from his trance.

“What?” Joshua looks at him, stretching his legs out while sitting up. Roman and Montez soon joined them at the opposite-facing couch engaged in their own conversation on next week’s show.

“She has a dude.” He reminds him. Jey has a habit of getting with girls while they were in a relationship. He also knew that they were just placeholders for Sariah. Everyone knew they were destined to be together. She was just focused on a career, and current fling Dame.

“Who Dame?” The dude was a nuisance. Every time he was around them, the tension in the air was thick.                                                                                                                               

“Yeah Dame.” 

Jey kisses his teeth. “Psft, please.” He wasn’t a fan of that weak ass rapper. “That nigga a bum.”

“Aye” Montez looks at him.

“My bad bro.” Jey raises his hands in defense. Everyone knew she was with Dame. They just didn’t know who he was behind closed doors. A glimpse of that night plagued his mind daily. “He doesn’t deserve her.”

Jimmy looks at him. Jey was never shy when it came to voicing his opinions. To him it was a blessing and a curse. He was playing a dangerous game.

“Just be careful, uce.”

The mere presence of him had her stomach churning in ways it hadn’t before. It had been a while since she saw him and for good reason. Sariah focused on her makeup, erasing him from current thoughts while Trinity stood behind her, curling iron in her right hand and comb in the left. She was curling Sariah’s hair for her. something along the lines of Trinity was the best at doing her hair.

The silence was comfortable. It just the nagging voice in the back of her mind broke it. “ Why didn’t you tell me Joshua was going to be here.”

Trinity looks at her through the mirror, finishing up the last piece of hair that needed to be curled. She bites her lip, thrown off by the question. It was obvious why he was here. He was Jonathan’s twin brother and best-man.

“Will him being here, be an issue.?” Trinity unplugs her curlers, using some hairspray to set the freshly curled hair.

Sariah shakes her head, looking at herself in the mirror, running her fingers through the roots of her curled hair. By the time she got dressed and did her makeup, all of the curls would have fell, leaving .

“No issue.” She closes her makeup bag, touching up certain areas with a makeup wipe.

Trinity, amused by Sariah’s sudden interest in her brother-in-law gathers her things. “Don’t let me find out you got a crush.” She walks to the door, standing between the threshold of her room and the hallway. “And hurry up. We’re waiting on you.”

Sariah mutters to herself about what to wear. She never understood the meaning of packing lightly; her whole wardrobe was stuffed into this suitcase, and they were only going to be here for a week. She grabbed the first piece of clothing that caught her eye. It was a simple blue and white dress. It wasn’t much to show off, but it shows enough for wandering eyes.

It wasn’t long before she found herself ready, but she also knew it took her forever and her friends were probably waiting on her. They had all agreed to meet outside the villa as it provided a beautiful background for photos that didn’t include the hustle and bustle of the hotels and resorts they were normally accustomed to. She makes her way out, gaining the attention of the girls first.

“I need to borrow that dress one day.” Trinity tells her. “Also, them thighs girl” She smacks them, making her laugh and smack her hands a way.

Bianca had turned at the sound of the smacking and whistles. “Ooo pretty mamas.” One thing Sariah loved about her friend group was the way they hyped her up and made her forget any worries she had. 

“We gotta get a picture!” Bianca looks around for her phone, this gets the guys attention. Joshua bites his lip, one hand in his pocket and the other rubbing his chest while giving Sariah a once over. Trinity passes Jonathan her phone and he immediately starts snapping.

“Wait! I ain’t ready.” Bianca shouts, flipping her hair over her shoulders, grabbing Sariah and Trinity by the arms and pulling them in to the picture.

The girls immediately got closer. “Well damn, yank my arm.” Trinity groans through a smile.

“My bad.”

The girls would have a photoshoot all day if the guys let them. They limited them to a few pictures, and rushed them to the restaurant.

II. Lani Restaurant

It wasn’t often they got a press free vacation. They were easily recognizable despite the many different disguises they had. Eventually the just stopped wearing one. They loved their fans, but sometimes they just want to be left alone. 

“Alright, alright.” Some older local shooed people on the waiting on the street to get pictures, autographs, anything. “You annoyed enugh” His English was broken, but they understood what he meant. 

The restaurant was reservation Sariah picked was just now opening, which was great. They would get their privacy, but still able to enjoy the local's culture. The sounds of live drummers gained their attention as they gave the hostess their name. 

“We had a reservation for Fatu.” 

“Right this way” She grabs her cutlery sets, and lead them through a section of the tables, to one long wooden carved table. In the center, spelled out USO Bridal Party. In the middle was a cd. It was the soundtrack for her wedding.

“Granted, it’s only you and Jey in the bridal party. Good lookin cuz.” Jimmy gives Sariah a side hug, picking up the CD. No song titles, but he knew the songs were going to be a hit.

“Sariah!” Trinity whines, pulling her younger cousin into her arms, kissing her cheeks. “You did this?!” 

It was the first day of the trip. She wanted the first day to start off with a bang. 

“It’s just a little something.” She laughs, pushing Trinity back.

“We are playing this at home on the last day.” Trinity grabs the CD and puts it in her purse.

“Cool with me.” Montez sits.

“You just can’t play on your social media Tez.” Bianca points, sitting down. Montez was a big Sariah fan, long before he met her. Yeah she only had two albums and a couple of eps out. Her catalogue was still a hit, and since becoming friends he has become an even bigger fan.

“I would never.” He clutches the imaginary pearls around his neck, shocked that his friends thought he would purposefully leak her songs.

“Babe. I come home and you’re recording yourself working out with her unreleased music in the background.” Bianca smiles at him. She loved the support her husband gave her friends.

“It’s okay Montez.” Sariah sits down. “I know you mean well. Sometimes I send them to you on purpose so you can post it.”

The waitress brought out water and menus, interrupting their conversation as they sat down. She found herself next to Jey, thighs brushing against his. His arm rest behind her on the back of her chair.

Jey got lucky. He had thought she was going to sit on the opposite side of Trinity, yet here she was sitting between him and Jimmy. She looked good in that dress. He looks at her, a slow lick of his lips.

“You’ve been avoiding me.”

She looks at him. “What makes you think that.”

He shrugs, a small smile forming on his face. “Do I make you nervous?”

“Never that.” She leans back, forgetting that his arm is draped over the back of her seat. He twirls a piece of her hair around his finger.

“Mhm, the goosebumps on your thighs, say otherwise.” He pokes her thighs, she pops his finger, making him chuckle.

“Please, you think you’re all that.” Sariah was unsure where this sudden urge of confidence came from.   

“Add a bag of chips to that.” He moves his arm, leaning forward as a selection of food was placed on the table. Sariah, rolling her eyes at his cockiness turned her attention to Trinity who was watching a smirk on her face.

“What?”

“Nothing at all girl. Nothing at all.” She serves herself and Jimmy some food . Doing the same, a comfortable silence fell over the table, forks clinking and side conversations here and there.

“I need a nap after this.” Bianca says wiping her mouth. They had finished eating and were just enjoying the music being played lived.

“We do have time to kill before the rentals show up.” Of course, the guys rented out 4-wheelers for the week. A little gift from Jey to Jimmy. They grew up riding on them, so why not see if the island had rentals, and low and behold they did.

“Shit, let’s go.” Montez jumped quickly. 

Sariah stands up quickly, taking a deep breath. “Yeah, a nap sounds good.” She needed to put some distance between her and Jey. The constant buzzing of her phone pissed her off as she pulled it out of her purse. She had told her team, she was on vacation. Her eyes lock on the multiple notifications from Dame.

           Dame: You could’ve called when you got there.

           Dame: You better not drink either. 

           Dame: Did you finish my verses

Dame: I need that asap.

Dame: Text me back damn

Dame: Bet, don’t answer

           Dame: I got something for you when you get back

No apology. Which she knew was never coming. All he cared about was his next hit. She wasn’t in the mood, she put his notifications on mute and put on a fake smile. They took more pictures in the restaurant before heading back to the villa for a much needed nap.

Sariah maybe slept for an hour before she was roaming around the kitchen, making a fruit bowl to snack on. She occupied the couch in the shared living space, notebook in hand with her headphones on. Fruit bowl acquired, she sat on the couch, lost in deep thought.

Jey makes his way out, seeing Sariah sitting on couch, writing in her notebook while nodding her head. He makes his way to her, he stands in front of her, taking off her headphones. She looks up ready to cuss whoever interrupted her. Her breath gets caught in her throat seeing a shirtless Joshua in front of her. She blinks away the thoughts looking at his face.

“Not tired either?” He asks.

They were the only two up and knew why, hence why they were out here and not in their rooms. The walls are thin, and their friends aren’t

“Yeah. Just wanted to write this verse that was stuck in my head.” She motions to her notebook and headphones.

Jey sits on the couch next to her, thighs touching as he grabbed the notebook. “Can I see. I promise I won’t leak them.” He jokes.

“Sure, why not.” She hides a laugh at his joke towards Montez.

He’s flipping through the pages, several song titles catching his eye. Tucked in one of the pages he found a guitar pick wedged between them. It was a soft blue color with palm trees on them. 

“You still play?” He hands it to her so she can hold it while he looked through the slightly worn notebook, careful to not rip the pages.

“Sometimes.” She shrugs. “Usually when I’m performing.”

He nods, eyes scanning the lyrics. She places her headphones over his head, making sure they covered his ears. The music filled his ears, and he’s nodding. The soft melodies of a piano in the background and her voice harmonizing. 

“What’s it called?” He asks placing her headphones and notebook on the table in front them. 

“Not sure yet. It’s something different.” She loved that song. She just wasn’t sure on the fan reaction. 

“Flawless was different.” Jey had always been a Sariah fan, He found himself creating a playlist of all her songs to listen to during his workouts. He wasn’t a super fan; he just really enjoyed her music.

“Look at you, knowing my songs.”  She looks at him. The way he moved closer, had her stomach doing flips.

“Whatever title you come up with, will be a hit.” 

A moment silence washed over their conversation. He finds himself looking at her, wanting more from this conversation. They were finally alone, and he may not ever get this chance again. “You never texted me after that night.”

“That night was a mistake.”

The car comes to a rolling in stop in front of Trinity and Jonathan’s house. No one was home. He stops the car and looks at her. Her eyes never leaving their driveway. ”Where do you wanna go?” He asks. All of her other friends were on the road, they also didn’t know Dame was beating her.

“I can take you to your sister’s or your pare—.” “No.” She tries not to bite her lip. She was barely sober, and didn’t want to go to her parents or sister’s place looking like this. She wasn’t in the mood to talk. He starts the car. “My place it is then.”

Jey stands up with a nod. “Mhm. So, me coming back that night was a mistake.”

“That’s not what I meant.” She argues.

“Nah, you said what you meant. It’s all good though.” He turns, looking at her.

“You know I have a boyfriend.” She reminds him. He stands in front of her and leans down, hands planted on the couch, trapping her in his arms, his brown eyes never leaving hers.

“That didn’t stop us before.”

Happy Halloween!

Summer and MJ threw a big party for all the other dolls! Complete with cookies and drinks and friendship.

Sariah's moms aren't entirely comfortable with her really celebrating Halloween but after a lot of begging they let her wear her fall shirt and go to the party, which is mostly chatter and snacks and a mildly spooky movie. Lexie is wearing an outfit my mom made for her--a black jumpsuit with a fun witch skirt and golden belt. She's also drinking a delicious cup of apple cider while she chats with Jossy, who has a cute little witch hat dress.

Olive, Persephone, and Quinn are (trying to) watch Coraline (on an imaginary TV). Persephone felt like she was too old for a costume, but kind of regrets that now. Still, her shirt is adorable. Olive procrastinated too much on their costume and ended up just painting a skeleton on second hand leggings and shirt. Much to her friends' amusement, Quinn decided to put her crutches on the couch and sit on the floor. She feels really cute although her little boo outfit isn't really a costume.

Summer and MJ, party hosts and new stepsisters, are taking a break at the edge of the room from all the commotion and comparing notes on the party. Overall, they agree it is a success. Although the main drink available is cider, MJ felt like making herself a strawberry milkshake. In the background, Miko is dressed as a ballerina. She is having fun but needed a break, so she climbed onto the couch above all the people and noise to rest.

And finally, while the older kids have a party, Cala and Sophie are going trick-or-treating. Cala is (clearly) a pirate princess, while Sophie is apparently a spy princess. She may have also had too much candy already.

DWC Day 5 Fluff/Shiver

{Music}

Sariah liked to keep a full itinerary, digs, surveying gigs, and supplementary education kept her apprised of all recent findings in the community. When not consumed with her career her mind was turned to the arts, everything from painting to needlepoint was a skill Sariah was mastering.

The mind rebels at stagnation.

Because of this rigid schedule, it has been months since Sariah visited home. "The Ungrateful Daughter." A self-given title as her mother had given Sariah everything, working her fingers to the bone to make sure her daughter could do what she truly wanted in life.

Now was a perfect time, two weeks free between this last dig and a three-month trip to Dalaran and the next dig, one to prepare and the other for a much-needed trip home. The small cottage was cleaned up, and necessary items were packed away into two crates, with a week's work of clothing and art supplies stuffed into knit luggage and a traveling art box.

In reality, Westfall was not that far away, but traveling by coach took a great deal longer with the constant stops, dropping off and picking up fare after fare, adding nearly two hours to the hour-long trip. It wasn't all bad, a chance to meet new people as well as time to catch up on some reading.

The early evening sun lit the region up like a land of gold, amber waves of the coming harvest and the sun's beaming rays casting warmth onto Sariah's cheeks, she was home.

"I never think this through." Sariah muttered to herself as she lugged her things the half-mile trek from the road, down the hill, and to the small house by the river. From the garden gate, she called out to her mother, who sat on the covered porch in a weathered rocking chair.

"There's my girl!" Myriah was a stunning woman, even at her age she would be considered the bell of the ball, and Sariah a carbon copy save Myriah's auburn curls and emerald eyes. "Get over here and hug my neck!" She called, standing slowly by the grace of a cane.

Sariah was all smiles until she notice her mother struggle to stand, rushing to her side and all but dropping her things to the ground. "Woah, Mom! What happened?!" She was in a tizzy having been unaware this had occurred.

"Now, don't fret, it only happened this morning." Myriah's arms wrapped around her only child, hugging her tight. "Tripped in the garden and twisted it, nothing dire I swear."

"Well, let's get you sitting down inside. I'll cook."

Blood, Sweat, and Tears.

{Music}

{TW- Violence - Blood}

A furry of fists, the thundering crowd, the thick air filled with the scent of blood and sweat. This is where Emi belonged.

After the misstep with the Searose Company, her negligence nearly costing the life of a young Archeologist, it was clear she wasn't the most welcome of the crew. Even though Sariah had forgiven Emi for not being at the site on time, the action was enough to make her an outcast to the Company, a feeling Emveah loathed. Once the rescue wrapped up Emi took her pay and split from Searose to find her place yet again, this action led her down a path that opened doors to the Brawler's Guild and her new favorite career.

This was her fourth fight, a run of victories that kept the Monk's blood burning for more, but now she was outmatched. Emveah, a lean and green thing was pitted against a massive Draenei man whose fists struck like a rockslide down a mountain, crushing everything in its path. Dodging had only done her so much, expecting such a large man to move slower and being unpleasantly surprised with his swift strikes, leaving Emveah bloody, tired, and nearing her limit as the behemoth charged in her direction.

It was a snap decision, jumping into the air and mounting the man's shoulders mid-charge, her thighs wrapping around his neck and gripping as tight as possible to choke him out all while landing punch after punch to his face as he tried and failed to pull her off. Emi's choice paid off as the man fell to his knees and passed out from the lack of air, hitting the ground with a thud and throwing Emveah across the ring and against the makeshift wall. Her head was spinning from impact as the crowd went wild, cheering for Emi's fourth straight victory.

The final fights wrapped up as Emveah got bandaged up and collected her winnings, heading out for her typical fight night drinks only to be sidelined by a familiar face, Sariah stood just outside the Guild, waiting in hopes to speak with her.

Emveah took in a deep breath, exhaling a slow sigh before approaching. "Listen I've apologized all I can. I screwed up, but I'm glad you're okay....you are okay, right?" She quarried, now worried about some lasting damages from the woman getting caught up in a trap in an ancient tomb.

"Oh yes, quite well in fact," Sariah spoke with her soft tone and a kind smile toward an unconvinced Emveah. "However, I have been trying to locate you for some time now. I heard you had left the Company and I was furious...Gave the Captain a piece of my mind until he informed me that you had left of your own accord. This troubled me you see."

"What? Why?" Emi nearly shouted in response, having been expecting anger from the woman for being the cause of her unfortunate accident. "I screwed up by sleeping off a hangover. You could have died in there and I wasn't about to stick around and hear it from the Company for three more weeks, so I dipped, but I'm glad you're okay." Emi then began to walk away as Sariah quickly moved to block her path.

"You really ought to forgive yourself, I was the one that moved in without a spotter, I was the one that cause the trap to snare and got caught inside. You are not solely responsible for what happened. Would I have been out sooner if you were there? Yes. Would I still have been injured? Yes. You mustn't place all the blame on yourself. I explained this to the Captain before I learned you were gone." Sariah pleaded, hoping to alleviate the pain Emveah had placed on herself.

"Listen, you're a real nice lady, and while I wasn't the only one that screwed up, I still fell back on some real bad habits, shit I thought I had moved past but clearly that's not the case. So, thanks for trying, but there is plenty of reason for me to be pissed at myself." Emveah then pushed past Sariah and headed toward the tavern.

"Is that why you volunteer to get beaten into a pulp?" Sariah called after her.

"It's the only thing I'm good at!" Emi yelled back at her.

Hihi don't mind me but do you got any voice headcanons for the funky puppets ʘ⁠‿⁠ʘ I'd love to hear them

I have a few I'm thinking about :)

Horace: The Peculiar Purple Pieman from Strawberry Shortcake? Possibly? I don't know, he reminds me too much of Waluigi I think

Thade: Either Snufkin or Jon Arbuckle. I see people headcanoning him as having this smooth, posh, elegant voice, but I think it would be funnier for him to look like an elegant goth but have a voice that makes him sound like a silly guy. Because he is a silly guy! To me

Sariah: I can see lots of high-pitched "princessly" voices fitting her tbh, including but not limited to Snow White, Thumbelina, Strawberry Shortcake.... I like Beatrice's voice from Over the Garden Wall because it isn't SUPER gentle and has some sassiness to it, but I think it would be cool if ALL my voice claims came from sources from, like, the 70s or 80s, and have that crackly low-quality sound to reflect that Candle Cove is an old TV show. Maybe I could put her voice through a filter...

Dr. Heartfelt: Ludwig von Drake (I'm kind of on the fence about this because he sounds pretty exuberant while I imagine Heartfelt to be more soft-spoken. I might look for clips of him talking softly and see what I think then. My other choice would be Matthias Schweighöfer, but he sounds too normal to me (as in not cartoony)).

Dr. Mort: Louis Jourdan (I was also on the fence about this for a while because he tends to sound a little too suave and debonair in his roles while I image Mort to sound like a little creep, but I think this clip specifically matches him vibe) (sort of unrelated but here's a clip of him SINGING! I think about it often)

Red Mary: Amanda Palmer

Susan Siren: Probably Ballora from FNAF, but I still like my older voice claim, which is Fiona Apple singing this song specifically.

Roger Rogerson: The Globglogabgalab

Bubba: Kris from Santa Claus is Comin' to Town

Starson: I said before that I was thinking of John from the Beatles cartoon for him, but now I'm thinking of Smart Gary from Spongebob. He just sounds like a little smarty.

I want to make a looooooooong voice claim video at some point so I'm in the process of looking for voice claims, but it's slow work :,) especially since I don't really have a solid "feel" for a lot of the characters (I only really really care about like 5 of them. The rest I'm kind of uninterested in rn, even though I want to develop them more in my head and get more invested in them so I can write fanfics with them and stuff like that). But I want to bring it into existence!
