EVENT #011

WHO: Everyone on Earth in Meadowlark's world.
WHERE: The Aerie, a different world.
WHEN: Late July 2512.
WHAT: The first log of our AU event, taking place in an AU world that puts on battle royale events to cull the massive overpopulation.
NOTES OR WARNINGS: Overwritten minds, horrible dystopian conditions, and more!

> EVENT #011

On the morning of July 26th, every living person on Earth will be spirited away from where they were mere moments before. Just like that. Hover cars will descend slowly in transit, trains will come to a stop without a screech of their breaks, and the streets throughout every single of the 104 megacities will be left barren, empty, and lifeless. Even those lost and hidden, not seen for months, are swept gently away with the rest of their brethren. No stone will go unturned.

The world upon their return may pick up where it's left off, or it will be changed in some way. Will it be July 26th when everyone finds themselves back where they were standing before? Or will something else happen during this time? Now that the supposed lifeblood of this planet is gone, what will happen in their absence? The world may not be able to go on how it had been.

Perhaps the more terrifying question is this: if something is powerful enough to steal away every person, every single one capable of thought, ideas, conflict, war, and more, what else could happen?

Perhaps it's for the best that it may be awhile before anyone has to worry about that.

For now, they've entered a world that's one week away from its next Quarry event: a place where The Aerie's criminals fight to prove they deserve to keep their life.

> THE WORLD ENDS WITH YOU (THE AERIE)

The Aerie is a structure that should not exist.

Made of steel and concrete, it gives off the impression that its guts were arranged haphazardly, as if an amateur surgeon had pulled them out and tried to put them back in again. Steel beams stretch out between buildings, connecting them together. There may have been a wall of concrete around this beam once upon a time, but it splintered and fell away, exposing its insides and opening up a pathway that people have taken for granted in the past fifty to a hundred years. Power lines hang in loose tangles throughout this little world, ready to fall away at the slightest breeze, then splinter and spark.

Most of the insides of The Aerie are barely preserved. Trying to do that would be an impossible task: there are too many people, too many who live in concrete layered on one another like stacks of broken shelves, too many who pass through open maws of ruptured pathways, crawling up onto the roof of a business for what they think is a shortcut to a higher level. Brittle walls that splinter off into clouds of chalky white dust are everywhere and anywhere.

How The Aerie came together was once a majestic feat: a place for people to live, thrown together as extinction surged forward like a towering beast on the horizon. There was a mix of minds behind the action, as well as a hollow sense of desperation. Even those who brought The Aerie into being knew that their lives were on the line. It was a matter of "make this work" or die. So, they made it work.

What's truly impossible about The Aerie isn't the hulking structures merged together at all manner of impossible angles, but the outer layer of this little world, looming overhead in shimmering, constant glory. The people of The Aerie are protected, safe; the world outside is a nebulous, uncertain mess of greys and greens and reds and blues. Storms surge just outside of the wall of The Aerie with sharp, constant bolts of lightning that batter the surface overhead. Once upon a time, the people of this little world feared those bolts cutting through and destroying their home. But it's been long enough now. No one lives in fear of what's outside, and no one wonders, not anymore. After all, the people who made it outside were never seen again. For a time, some people could watch through the clear walls as these escapees' bodies turned to irradiated mush with only bones left behind. In time, those bones withered away to dust. And with them, their memories were forgotten.

Within The Aerie, life goes on, just as it must: riddled with fear, with survival often depending on the ability to escape notice.

Only two parts of The Aerie remain unscathed, untouched by the passage of time and haphazard construction of this refuge:

The Volary, which stands tall and pristine at the heart of The Aerie. Lights burn within The Volary all day and all night, showing signs of life that most of the people outside of its walls will never see for themselves.

And then the Quarry, a structure built in haste and out of necessity. The same people who brought The Aerie together also made the Quarry. At its base are a series of office buildings, setting up monthly arena events where the guilty fight to show that they deserve to survive.

These two things are the source of all the fear in The Aerie. It's what keeps everyone's mind off the crumbling walls, the storms outside, and the miserable, unending passage of time.

> SOAK UP THE GLORY (THE VOLARY)

When The Aerie came into being, so did The Volary. Far from fragmented like the rest of this tiny, tiny world, it stands pristine, with brown bricks lining its exterior, and strong steel beams holding it strong within. Either through its making or its care, The Volary hasn't suffered from the hands of time like the rest of the world. Anyone outside of The Volary doesn't know the truth, though they could likely guess.

Inside of The Volary lives the members of Parliament: the newly-joined Magpies, the comfortable Rooks, and the looming and most powerful, the Cardinals.

The Cardinals live at the very top. Even after over two hundred years, the Cardinals remain impenetrable. New members are accepted into their ranks from time to time, granted secrets of a bygone era, but the rest of the world remains ignorant to their knowledge. At the heart of this structure is a cult, a belief system; they are the ones who decide if The Aerie lives or dies. For now, it continues to live. Of course, any other path would lead to their devastation as well. They may be nearly immortal, but they aren't truly untouchable and eternal.

Beneath them are the rest of Parliament, cocky in their comfort. Many were born into it, but some were raised into the ranks, finding their own footholds. Sometimes these elevations seem random; sometimes these promotions happen with purpose, with someone driving to catch the eye of a Rook who's looking for someone like-minded to have around them.

Outside of the Magpies, the Rooks that were once Magpies, and the once-members of The Congregation outside, everyone seems blissfully ignorant of the dilapidated world outside. There are some workers from the outside world who know, and some Carrion lucky to have their place among the elite—but there is a sense that some things shouldn't be spoken about, or else they may need to be responsible for it all. While the outside begins to age without any sign of renewal, this compound lives on—untouched, unbothered.

The Volary is set up in levels. The very bottom is where all the businesses that serve the people up above are located. It's where animals are raised and butchered, and where food is prepared before it's brought up to the upper levels. There are numerous common areas, but these can be rented out for any whim of any members of Parliament. Even the businesses themselves can be shuttered for the day, with preferred chefs invited to the upper levels to prepare meals to deal with these circumstances. (Someone from the Congregation can train as a chef in the Cotillion, even if they've never handled food of this nature their entire lives. It's a good job to have, as a number of favored chefs have been elevated to Magpies.)

Beyond the shops is the first level of living quarters for the various members of Parliament. Many Magpie and Rook suites are side by side, though some Rooks prefer not to be housed next to a newcomer and have made their preference known throughout the years. These suites are designed and adapted to its inhabitant's every need, and if someone is born into the family, they inherit their family's suite once someone dies. How is it that there could be space for all the members of Parliament, and so little room outside of the walls of this compound? Consider that yet another question that members of Parliament don't need to concern themselves with.

At the uppermost levels are the suites belonging to the Cardinals. Unless explicitly invited, no one is allowed onto these floors. Numerous Carrion have died throughout the years because they wandered up the wrong set of stairs, knowing that risk was looming over them.

And at the very top is where The Conclave meets. Newly elected members of Parliament visit this room once to receive their powers, only they recall nothing. No one knows what happens within the inner walls of The Conclave. Some have attempted to spy throughout the years. Needless to say, that didn't go well.

The Volary is the home of the pampered, the rich: the people who can ignore the dying world beyond them. Even those inheriting a sense of importance feel as if they've done enough—when they clearly don't do enough. At least those stuck outside may find themselves walking through the heavy front doors of this compound one day. Too bad it's based upon the powers of Parliament, and whether they deign to let someone inside. The only good news is that someone can be buzzed in via their power. That gives a real personal touch, right?

> NO WAY TO LIVE (THE CONGREGATION)

Outside of The Volary, The Aerie is set up in sectors, these sectors acting like rings that move further and further from The Volary up and down throughout The Aerie. Almost by necessity, the rings closer to The Volary are populated by Parliament's favorites. The upkeep around here is better: not pristine, but far from as bad as it gets as someone travels to the outer sectors. Many who have made a name for themselves in the Quarry live in these inner sectors, close to the people of Parliament. Many believe that the inner sectors are still tended to because members of Parliament would hate to face up to the fact of their world dying, and it may not be far from the truth.

In addition to better upkeep, the inner sectors experience less Shrike patrols, with the people allowed to live a life that allows them to remain ignorant to the world around them. They may not be Parliament, but their life in these sectors affords them the feeling of comfort. They don't have to fear their ceiling caving in; they don't have to fear a pipe bursting at an unfortunate moment; they don't have to fear wrongful arrest because they looked at someone the wrong way. It takes a lot for those from the inner sectors to have their lives ruined—but it's not exactly impossible. Of course, this is also where The Cotillion is kept, with numerous buildings and dormitories maintained for its students.

The further and further someone goes away from The Volary, the more life within The Aerie becomes difficult. The worst part is this: no one knows any better. They know the crumbling walls, the faded and peeling wallpaper, the revealed steel beams. They know the frequent Shrike patrols. They know that if they commit a crime, it's on them: they deserve whatever comes their way.

How does someone work in order to get by in these outer sectors? They can help man the bars, because drinking is as much a way of life here as it is back in the regular world. They can help upkeep of The Aerie. Someone can easily enter a trade alongside their compulsory schooling, especially if they aren't special enough for Cotillion training. Electricians are needed throughout. Maintenance of trains is needed throughout. Plumbers are needed throughout. And rations? They come by way of processing plants connected to hydroponic farms. More than a few times throughout the years, these plants have suffered breakdowns, and there have been ration shortages. But don't worry: Parliament continued on eating as if nothing changed outside.

Rations are given out three times a day through numerous rations checkpoints in each sector. These rations are like tasteless protein bars: enough to provide someone the meal they need, a bland mixture of carbohydrates, protein and fat sprinkled with essential nutrients, and little more. Attempts to make them more flavorful throughout the years have failed. Badly. It's probably better that they're bland little morsels. The good news is that they're filling. That may be the only good news.

Life isn't all misery and pain, even if job prospects are largely unfortunate if you're nothing special and the food is literally nothing to talk about. There is a thriving popular culture within The Congregation. There are numerous television shows and movies depicting the distant past, or even a brighter present: one in which the people of The Congregation managed to come together and make their lives better. Oddly enough, these don't tend to act as propaganda. They're just badly written, but done with an eye on hope and perhaps a better life. There are sports and games, though no official leagues have started up, almost certainly because they would compete with the Quarry for airtime.

Members of the Congregation are able to travel anywhere they like within The Aerie thanks to trains, with the only sector the train lines don't access being The Volary. They can peer down over the city, seeing a blurry line of grey all merging together, with people living their lives as best as they can. These trains go near the surface of The Aerie, too, granting someone a close up of the world outside, and reminding them that life could be much, much worse. It could be gone altogether.

> SO SHALL IT BE (QUARRY PREPARATIONS)

With one week remaining until the next Quarry event, preparations continue within The Company's headquarters. Located at the base of the arena out of necessity, The Company's offices are pristine and lifeless in nature. White walls, white ceiling tiles, and white chairs: nothing varies from anything else. How does it remain so surgical at all times? One can only wonder.

Numerous Quarries are being prepared at any given moment, with the televised sensations planned months in advance. Some plans are scrapped depending on competitors. Given the recurrence of Snipes, there are moments where plans need to be changed, where tension needs to be brought in. An arena designer may have to scrap his entire vision for a backup plan.

Fortunately—or unfortunately—The Company is a well-oiled machine. Need some crunch time to make sure a Quarry event is ready on time? The underlings at The Company are used to working long, long days to make it work.

The Quarry this time around is unknown, though there are suspicions of what it might be.

As for those waiting to enter the ring: they're free to live their lives, but many of them are undergoing talent training and preparation for the big event. They're going through interviews, getting sized for any costumes, and being asked to tell their stories. Some of the Snipes may be more than ready for this, while the Guineas will need to figure this out for themselves.

> A WILL TO FIGHT (THE KESTRELS)

Littered throughout the Congregation is a group that's been budding for a while. As much as this world is all they've known, there are some who believe that they deserve something better. The Quarry is unfair, and all throughout the many sectors, there are signs that The Aerie is breaking down and dying, barely keeping it together. These are people who may be afraid, but want to fight despite that fear.

Some of them have made themselves known: bearing a tattoo of a kestrel where others can see. Others hide who they are, but they're waiting. Planning. They strike when they can, but they know that time is running out. There are tiny safehouses throughout, typically through hatches underneath small local businesses that are sympathetic to the kestrels themselves. These people aren't members, but they put themselves at risk every day to protect this movement.

So, they have their sights set on this upcoming Quarry. It's time to bring change to The Aerie—or die trying.

> GOALS FOR THIS LOG

Either through talking ICly or OOCly, we'd like to have the following goals outlined and submitted to our comments below:

What is the Kestrels' plan in all of this? What do they intend to do?
This can include trying to find and meet with Prometheus, just as a note! Overall, we'd like an idea of what they'll be attempting with the upcoming Quarry so that we can work it into the next log.

What is the theme for the next Quarry arena?
We'd like to have some idea of a theme, as well as some submitted puzzles! We know that we're the kings of Vague Ass Puzzles, so feel free to be vague. We just want to give our Quarry participants something to look forward to.

Are there any other factors we need to consider?
Parliament upheaval? Plans to find out what Parliament is doing? Anything else that might come to mind? This is more loose!

We're giving a loose deadline of DECEMBER 7 with the next log going up on DECEMBER 12.

> FINAL OOC NOTES

Welcome to part one of our year-end AU event! We meant for this to be primarily be a description log to start play, especially since we feel that most of our critical information is in our Planning Post. We suggest that you do any necessary planning there for your select crews there, as well as use the "DM" system on Warbler for private stuff.

Of course, our questions thread is still open.

Since it's come up in the past: since all characters are in the AU, please feel free to do a catch-all post of anything you might want! Flashbacks! Anything open prompt-wise! Go wild with this stuff. This is always available during events, but we wanted to be explicitly clear here given the nature of this event.

As for mod-run social media, we have a post here on the network where we'll be steadily adding things throughout the event!

Our November Activity Check goes live on DECEMBER 1. AC for the month of December will be check-in only. It's a weird holiday season, but it will undoubtedly still be stressful for all of us.

Our next reserves will open on NOVEMBER 23 and our next application period will open on DECEMBER 1. We intend for all new or returning applicants to be kept outside of the AU. We have a special plotting opportunity and NPC ready for this scenario to help people integrate. However, if you have a friend who's apping to tap into the AU, let us know—we're not 100% married to our plans, but we worried about any new players apping into such a convoluted scenario after so much plotting has already taken place.

That's all for now. Have fun and for those of you who celebrate, have a Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃

[ jyn sinks down on the loveseat next to larry with two glasses in hand. she passes one off automatically and assumes that will make up for taking a seat some future lover could take. jyn loves larry, he is very dear to her and she would personally and gleefully eviscerate anyone that ever so much as thought to cause some harm to befall him, but they are neither of the other's type. ]

Hello darling. [ she leans over to kiss his cheek before she seems to melt into the sumptuous pillows decorating the back of the sofa, heels falling off so she can tuck her feet up under her.

larry won't be getting lucky in the next quarter hour at least because jyn looks very comfortable, flicking her dark hair over her shoulder. it's her first big party since her father died, but she is just ignoring that entirely as if it didn't happen. ]


Who are you looking at tonight?
testflight: (007)

[personal profile] testflight 2020-11-22 09:36 am (UTC)(link)
Hi yourself.

[ she passes one glass to him and he sets the arm not attached to the hand now holding a glass onto the back of the loveseat, an invitation for her to snuggle in if she'd like to. he's on the prowl, certainly, but he'll always and gladly make time for her. ]

You know, I can't quite decide.

[ there are many handsome gents in the room tonight, some of whom larry already knows biblically and some he doesn't and he hasn't honed in on anyone just yet. ]

Any recommendations?

[ if she wants to talk about this instead of her father's death, he's all too happy to provide. ]
realists: (ml » um)

[personal profile] realists 2020-11-22 04:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[ she snuggles in automatically, drawing in the comfort of larry's familiar warmth and the smell of his cologne. all of the clothing she has stolen from him and sébastien is promptly returned when it no longer smells like its owner — there is no comfort in a men's shirt, only in a men's shirt that smells like home. ]

Hmm.

[ she takes her matchmaking very seriously, perusing the men milling around the party as if dolls on display. for every one she would suggest though, she finds some flaw that disqualifies them. the tiniest flaw — he chews with his mouth full, his hands are weirdly small, he never buttons up the top two buttons of his shirt and it's annoying. even the men larry has had dalliances with before jyn crosses off the list because she doesn't trust them.

but! she's been trying to tamp down on the clingy, overprotective part of her that thinks no one is good enough for her dearest friend. no one is, but that doesn't bother larry so it shouldn't bother jyn. ]


William's cute. Or Maine, big hands. [ a beat, she turns in her seat, eyes bright. ] Have you met that Shrike, Amos? His biceps are like the size of my head.

[ a+ good working out. jyn hasn't met him personally but she is shallow. ]

[personal profile] testflight 2020-11-22 04:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[ it isn't about good enough, is it? he's not looking to form a bond for the rest of his life, tonight, so it doesn't have to be someone good enough for him, just good enough for now.

if everyone goes into it with eyes wide open, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that, larry figures. he's made no secret of his dalliances, his desires, the open nature of his relationships, when things turn into relationships. (he's not opposed to that.) ]


Maine. [ that's with a sigh, not wistful or despairing so much as just remembering a pleasant last time. things with maine are —always interesting, to say the least. ] He does have big hands. [ and his hands are not the only thing big about him, if you catch larry's drift.

he lets his arm settle around jyn's shoulders, pulling her in a little more. ]


I haven't met Amos, but you're the second person mentioning him to me, so now I really feel I should.

[ larry is at least as shallow. biceps the size of jyn's head sound delightful. ] Which William?
realists: (ml » okay)

[personal profile] realists 2020-11-22 04:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Adiyodi. [ she shifts a little to her knees to better see the rest of the room, pointing out penny by the booze, before melting back against larry's side. ] Over there, you know I love scarves.

[ penny got scarf game. ]

He's skinny but I bet it's all muscle.

[ lean and strong is her type, to be fair, a certain cassian andor doesn't look like he can hold her against the wall one handed but he absolutely can. also has big hands. ]
testflight: (006)

[personal profile] testflight 2020-11-22 04:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[ larry lets out a low hum, considering. then considers some more while he takes a sip of the drink jyn brought. ]

Really more your cup of tea, isn't it?

[ not, mind, that he has anything about lean and strong. not at all. but jyn? jyn has a type, whereas larry is somewhat more varied in his affections and attractions.

how is andor? he pointedly doesn't ask, but it's in the sly sideways glance he throws her. ]
realists: (ml » smirk)

[personal profile] realists 2020-11-22 05:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[ it's not jyn's fault she is built like a baby bird so even lean muscle is enough to manhandle her the way she likes. her shoulders lift in a lazy shrug before she pointedly sips her drink.

larry is not wrong and they both know it. ]


Oh, shut up, you.

[ but of course she is smiling so it really lacks any sort of heat. ]
testflight: (l065)

[personal profile] testflight 2020-11-22 05:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[ he knows what she's going to say before she says it, lips already pulling into a grin.

they both like being manhandled. nothing wrong with that. ]


No, don't think I will.
realists: (ml » smile)

[personal profile] realists 2020-11-22 05:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[ utterly weak to that smile, jyn's own façade crumples within seconds and a smile has lit up her own expression to match. ]

Fine, then use your words because I shan't be answering questions that aren't asked.

[ she is not margo's father. she can't read minds, nor would she, that would be dreadfully boring. she barely enjoys conversation with people outside her cluster of friends and declared family. ugh imagine having some stranger's thoughts in her head?

no, thank you. pass. ]
testflight: (l070)

[personal profile] testflight 2020-11-22 05:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Shan't you, now?

[ he's still grinning when he lifts his glass again, only dropping the grin because drinking while grinning is just physically impossible. ]

All right, then. How's your beau?
realists: (ml » waiting)

[personal profile] realists 2020-11-22 05:53 pm (UTC)(link)
He's not my anything.

[ but gosh she wishes, fingers twitching by the pocket in her dress to take out her phone and text him, she refrains but only because she's warm and comfortable with larry and doesn't need to be rescued from her own boredom. ]

But he is as lovely as ever.

[ and he isn't in the quarry. would jyn feel better if cassian were safely squirreled away in her apartment? yes. but he is very independent and also very conscientious so jyn has to trust him to stay out of trouble.

it isn't like he is going to stay with her for good. no one does. ]
testflight: (l069)

[personal profile] testflight 2020-11-22 06:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[ larry has every intention of staying with jyn for good. she's one of his oldest and closest friends, someone he trusts completely. in a world of intrigue and gossip, he has every confidence in her. ]

Hmhm. [ larry looks over at her just long enough that she can see the suggestive waggle of his eyebrows. (no, he knows there are complications and jyn needs to keep her emotional distance sometimes —but he also knows that her fingers are probably itching right about now.) ]

Have him 'round again soon, I miss his wit.

[ not, he figures, that jyn needs an excuse. ]
realists: (ml » explain)

[personal profile] realists 2020-11-22 06:25 pm (UTC)(link)
His wit, hmm?

[ or is it his absolutely perfect ass impossible to disguise even under his ill-fitting trousers. though, admittedly, cassian is an excellent conversationalist. ]

I'll tell him that. Larry misses your wit.
testflight: (024)

[personal profile] testflight 2020-11-22 06:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[ cassian's ass is pretty nice, larry doesn't mind admitting. ]

I didn't say only his wit.
realists: (ro » happiness)

[personal profile] realists 2020-11-22 06:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[ jyn's laughter is like the musical peal of bells, punctuated by a soft snort. it's so easy to be happy with larry and struck by it suddenly, she loops her arm around his chest and buries her face against his shoulder.

she is not an excellent conversationalist and it is hard for her to verbalize how she feels so she has to make do with touch, her grip on larry tight and hopefully easily translating her utter love and affection for him, her gratitude that he always has time for her.

the platonic love of her life. ]
testflight: (l056)

[personal profile] testflight 2020-11-22 06:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[ it's mutual. it's entirely mutual and he's known her for long enough now to know what she means, what she isn't saying when she holds on tight.

his expression turns soft; he hides it in her hair. ]


Love you, too.

[ it's easier for him to say than it is for her. he means it no less. ]
realists: (ml » smile)

[personal profile] realists 2020-11-23 07:09 am (UTC)(link)
[ she hugs him a little tighter before drawing back to their original position. there's a tickle at the back of her throat threatening tears but she refuses to show that kind of weakness in public. she didn't cry at her mother's funeral or her father's, she is not going to cry happy tears now. ]

Alright so who have we narrowed it down to?

[ back to larry's happy love life. ]
testflight: (029)

[personal profile] testflight 2020-11-24 06:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[ there's no shame in a tear or two, especially at an opportune moment and for added drama, but there's a difference between genuine emotion and drama and larry's entirely willing to go along with the change of topic.

humming thoughtfully: ]
Amos or Maine tonight, I think.
realists: (ml » converse)

[personal profile] realists 2020-11-26 05:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Big hands or big arms. [ she takes a sip of her drink, swirling it around contemplatively, before downing it all at once. ] Actually they both have both.

[ HMMM. THIS IS A TRICKY ONE. ]

The ass on Amos though.

[ she sets her glass between her knees solely to gesture about amos' ass. chef kiss. ]
testflight: (024)

[personal profile] testflight 2020-11-29 11:17 am (UTC)(link)
[ another considering noise, before he lets his gaze follow jyn's gesturing hand toward amos's ass. not that he needs the excuse to look at it, mind. ]

You, my dear, are not wrong. Not wrong at all.

[ that's the choice made for tonight. but for now, he's content to be where he is, sitting next to her. although —jyn's drink is empty and his own nearly so, so he waves a hand toward a passing waiter. ]
realists: (ml » smirk)

[personal profile] realists 2020-11-30 08:35 pm (UTC)(link)
You know I never am.

[ not when it comes to being deeply, deeply shallow. jyn has impeccable taste, she knows a work of art when she sees it. ]

Plus that beard. [ she hums and her fingers flutter over the top of larry's thigh. oh he's gonna feel it tomorrow morning, afternoon, whenever he wakes up. ]
testflight: (l030)

[personal profile] testflight 2020-12-05 09:36 am (UTC)(link)
[ there's nothing at all wrong with being deeply shallow, either, larry figures. if it makes them happy, if all people are on the same page, there's nothing bad about it at all.

he huffs out a laugh. ]


Of course.

[ and then that laugh turns into a considering hum because oh, yes. he is going to feel that tomorrow and that thought is really very appealing. ]

That decides it, then.
realists: (ml » explain)

[personal profile] realists 2020-12-08 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
I love Cassian's beard.

[ among other things like maybe probably definitely the man himself but ha ha we don't admit weaknesses like that, no thank you.

she scoops another glass off the waiter's tray when he extends it to her. ]


Bring over some of the nibbles. Not the gross ones.

[ not a helpful demand, but. ]
