Text ✉ Horatio & Vivian

Horatio: it's a shame there are so many around that don't

Horatio: Probably last century. Maybe the roaring 20s.

Vivian: Fashionable choice. Favourite music is coming from that century as well then? What's the favourite song?

Horatio: I'm presuming this is Miss Xavier, based on the new nickname

Horatio: Sure, hit me.

Vivian: See? That's why I like you. You use your brain. It is.

Vivian: Which year or century or whatever was your favourite?

Vivian: Morning vampire prince! First of all, don't ask how I got your private number. I don't have the time. I need to know a few things. Do you have a minute?

Vivian: No is not an answer btw. So?

The noise of Vivian’s fingernails drumming against the surface of the metal platform she was sitting on was echoing through the empty performance tent. Her feets were dangling twenty metres over the ground, kicking the trapeze which was swinging back and forth every time it came towards her. She had sat there for a while already. Her practice had basically turned into her scowling at everything and nothing. Creating new performances always took time, effort and a patience which Vivian didn’t always have. Why weren’t things working the way she wanted them to? Why was gravity messing things up and swinging the second trapeze in the wrong direction, when she needed to jump on it? Fuck this! Fuck that! Fuck all of it!

    “Such bullshit,” the acrobat whispered under her breath and everyone who looked at her now would see something light up her eyes; defiance. She was Vivian Xavier. She always got what she wanted, and right now she wanted this stupid performance to work. The next time the trapeze flung to her, Vivian jumped off the platform and swung herself to the other side. Pirouettes and saltos weren’t the problem, nor using the trapeze for different poses without getting entangled - she was a professional after all. The only problem truly was the timing.

Vivian added another piroette, twisting the ropes of the trapeze in hope it would buy her some time and it did. When she let go to grab for the second trapeze, she could feel it brushing against her fingers and she would have had it… if only someone didn’t pull the entrance of the tent open, lightening the tent up. Reflexively she looked at them, missing the chance and before she knew it she fell. Safety net or not a fall could still hurt if you landed the wrong way, and the cracking sound of her wrist told everyone in hearing range that she did so.

   “Ow… DO SOMETHING!”

“Oh, very much so it seems. What’s your name again?” He smirked before shrugging. “I’ve had a few. After a while it’s not worth celebrating. I usually just open a fresh bottle of wine on my birthday and indulge myself. I stopped aging at around 30, which is when people used to die out. I just carried on living. However I don’t look like I did back then, every 150 years or so I change my face to ensure nobody picks up on the fact I’m an immortal. I can live without the insult of vampire slung at me everywhere I look.”

Vivian let out a long sigh at his descirption of how exactly he was celebrating his birthdays. No wonder he wasn’t celebrating. “You’ve clearly been celebrating with the wrong people. You need someone who gets you hyped to age another year - even if it’s your 2500th. That’s how others get over their mid life crisis.” Slowly she let her eyes run over his face, frowning softly and smiling in amusement as she spoke again: “And that’s the face you decided to settle on? Really?”

“Well no,” he said, feeling very awkward and like he was under a microscope.  He never liked being the one who people were paying attention to,”  But she doesn’t even know me.  We’ve never officially met and just walking up and asking for a date would probably be super creepy.  I’ll talk to her at some point.  I just, haven’t had the right moment.  I leave her little gifts though, so it’s not like I’m just come weirdo in the bushes, I’m actually making an effort.”

“Riiiight.” Vivian’s voice had taken a tone of sarcasm. “Because leaving her gifts without her knowing who you are is not creepy at all. Reminds me of our neighbour’s cat which kept dropping dead birds on our doormat.” She shrugged. “Fine then. Go and introduce yourself instead. Just walk to her, say hello and tell her your name. Hold conversation and ask her out. Done.”

“Today’s definitely a pool kinda day.” Tod said and stretched out his arms. The twenty year old tossed his shirt over to where his towel was as well, before jumping into the water and looking back over at the other. “Are you gonna come in or just stand there watching?”

"Nah, I’m gonna enjoy the view one more second.” Vivian spoke with amusement in her voice, following him to the edge of the pool to sit down and let her feet dangle in the water. Usually, the people around here were less forward and wouldn’t instantly strip down after meeting someone within two seconds. Not that she minded it - she eyed him once more - nope, not at all. “I’m guessing this is your second home, beach boy?”

“2500 years, give or take a few. It’s easy to lose track,” he laughed. “Oh certainly. I’m very very old, I get to embrace my grumpy old man stance on life. Get off my lawn you kids,” he put on an old man voice and shook his fist.

“Alzheimer setting in already?” Vivian quipped. “Can’t believe you missed out on having an amazig amount of birthday parties. What’s your physical age then? When did you stop? Or is it more of a slowed down continually aging process, which will make you actually add the old looks to your grumpiness in another 2500 years?”

“That’s right. Honestly, if I must have a pet I do prefer cats”, he commented as the dog splashed on the puddles under him, happy for the situation, whatever it was. Parker just eyed her up as she sighed, the same calming expression on his face. “It will be faster with another couple of hands, thank you”, he said moving aside to give her more space to help him. “Do you have any pets?”

timeless-curiosity:

Realizing the woman wasn’t buying it, he simply looked away sheepishly,” I can’t ask a woman like her out, she doesn’t even know I exist.  It’s not like I can just walk up to her and say ‘Hey!  You don’t know me!  But you should come out with me for dancing and dinner!’  She’d just laugh at me.”

“Why not?” Vivian raised her eyebrows at him. It was obvious that he was one of the shy kind, but still. Wasn’t love or whatever meant to make you brave? “It would get her to notice you and out of experience I can tell you it works a lot better than just staring at them from a far. Is that how you got your dates so far?”

Jane thought on that for a minute. “I just mean it stinks that it had to be him. But I’ve always been drawn to him. It was only a matter of time before I got deeper feelings.” Jane nuzzled up closer to Vivian, liking the warmth that was radiating off of the girl and on to her, it was nice. The alcohol was had now completely relaxed her. She blindly reached behind her until her had touched the remote and put the TV on, clicking to a random channel. “I hope it all works out. Either way, I still got you right?”

Vivian smiled weakly, knowing very well that Jane couldn’t quite see her fake smile from her angle. Loving Charlie certainly came hand in hand with some trouble, but didn’t everyone have some less lovable sides? “Is it selfish love?” she asked quietly, “Or is it real? The kind when all you want is that person to be happy, even if you’re not part of their happiness?” Vivian chugged her drink, setting her glass on the table in front of her, before cuddling back into Jane. She wasn’t entirely sure how to answer her question and which answer would end up to be the truth, but she nodded anyway. “Of course, you do.”

“Good, because I’m nobody’s bitch. Now that’s the first time I’ve been called the lesser evil…2000 years old, and still I find new surprises around every corner. Oh no, you’re entirely right. The other ringleaders are foolish,” he shook his head. “It’s a pleasure.”

“Obviously, that is the downside to not having me in your llife for... 2000 years, huh?” Vivian hadn’t had much chance to talk with people who had the ability of magic yet. Such age surprised her, not that she’d admit that. “So that’s where all the grumpy ‘Get off my lawn’ mood is coming from. You’re old as fuck.”

Jane was surprised when Vivian leaned against her, but didn’t falter. She scooted closer as well till they were cozied up on the couch together. Jane couldn’t come up with something to say at first, simply taking another sip of her drink and leaning her head on top of Vivian’s. She was happy to know that Vivian wasn’t going to make a big fuss over her confession, and simply just comfort her. “Thank you.” She said softly and was quiet again. “But it’s almost guaranteed that he’s gonna mess up again. He’s not emotionally all there. He said it could take some time and I told him I could wait a little.” Jane sighed and drank a little more. “I love him… And it kinda sucks.” She said, laughing a bit at her own confession.

Vivian stared down in her glass, swinging it lightly and watching the liquid spin in her glass. She didn’t know what to answer to this. After all, she knew that he already was in the progress of messing everything up. “Isn’t the one thing about love though, that it shouldn’t suck?”

“Well I’m glad to hear my job is safe and secure for now. Oh please, I’m not your bitch,” he shook his head. “That sounds okay to me. Begin practicing to do it alone, and perhaps you can incorporate some guest stars every now and then to be your angel. Make sure you get Molly to take a look before you go ahead with the new performance though, or she’ll bitch.”

“I’m not seeing you as my bitch. I’m seeing you as the lesser evil compared to the other ringleaders,” she explained calmly, “Or would you call me wrong if I said your choices make the most sense?” At the agreement a mischievous smirk spread over her lips. Yeah, she just stabbed her closest friend in the back, but sacrifces had to be made. “Thank you.”

“He isn’t my sweetheart.” Daria said with a small tilt of her head. “How do you know him then?” Daria questioned. She had to be a close friend of his, or something. Why else would she have been so invested in her stupid problems?

“Whatever you say.” Vivian said, clearly not sounding very convinced by Daria’s words. “This is a circus. Give it a few more weeks or months and you’ll know everyone yourself... well, everyone in the way they want you to know them.”

“Ah, miss Xavier. At least you are not one of the more annoying staff members that we have here. Ah, you’re funny, but you’ll never have my spot,” he raised a brow. “Miss Charlotte has some dedication problems, evidently. What do you propose we do?”

A wide smile grew on Vivian’s lips. If that wasn’t a compliment from Mr Grumpy himself! “Please, I don’t want your job. Too much effort and too less attention. I want someone who’s in my favour to have your job. I’ve had a brother and a boyfriend to bother with my wishes before. Now I’ve you.” She nodded. “We ditch her. Not entirely, but with the little effort she puts into the act it’s needless to say I’m more worthy of it. We make me officially the main part of it, I don’t have to rely on her anymore when she’s more of a special show event and no one gets to scowl for not getting to see that idiot blonde the circus advertised with. My show, my rules, my responsibility.”

Daria snorted. Scar’s name itself gave off a scary aroma, Daria didn’t even know what his reputation out here was. An eyebrow rose as she thought that maybe she could find out some information. “He owns that Shadowland place, haven’t heard that much about him otherwise.”

“Really? You want me to talk your sweetheart down?” Vivian said in amusement. She didn’t want to share idiotic stories of her brother. No matter how annoyed she was right now. “There are enough stories for people to write a book about him. You need to be more specific if you want to know something about him.”
