Summary
“You don’t know what I look like?”
“I know vaguely.”
“That’s terrible!” Hermes pouts, glancing around before taking Tiresias’ hands into his own and pressing them to the sides of his winged face. “Feel it! Feel it, darling! I’m beautiful!”
For a prophet that can see the future, Tiresias has never foretold his admirer, nor has he foretold what he actually looks like. Hermes helps with that, in one sense or another.

Summary
Owen smiles. “Right, so, picture this,” he gestures, then moves his glass to the side to make room, “your only son has been spotted having a rather friendly relationship with one of the hired hands. And, well, forbid the poor child from having someone to talk to. Dare he even speak. Such disdain.”
“Oh, atrocious,” comes the Nightingale, watching the Heron with a certain fondness.
// or, Acho and Owen bond a little over a few drinks and a conversation about their past.

Summary
A muted plip sounds as Martyn’s coin breaks the algae on the surface of the water, and sinks down. He turns his head to Krow, and with the smallest grin tugging at his mouth, speaks. “In all seriousness, what’s to buy with a few quarters and a dime?”
“A payphone call to hell,” Krow replies, and tosses in his quarter.
// aka, martyn unknowingly returns krow to the one place he never wanted to walk into again, and decides to toss a wish or two into its decrepit fountain.

Summary
“Nothin’ too crazy!" Sausage replies. "What about you? What’ve you been out there doin’?”
“Me?” Martyn asks, as if it’s not incredibly obvious. “Well I mean, I guess you could say I’ve-” Been drinking alone? Nearly drowned? Stolen a Merling’s crown, and, heck found out Merlings were real in the first place, and how they could somehow gain legs, and somehow he managed to befriend one? And all without dying, for that matter? “-been busy,” Martyn concludes. “Workin’ on my boat. Yeah. The usual.”
// aka martyn has just FUCKED SCOTT OVER!!!

Summary
“You know,” comes the other’s voice once more, “You can always take a photo to make it last longer.”
Mumbo pauses, directing his gaze back to his classmate in a moment of thought. “No, uh,” he clears his throat, “this is fine. You’re worth experiencing.”

Summary
Pearl has also grown a larger interest in stargazing; as a coping mechanism for her headaches. She says it relaxes her mind, and she can spend the whole night under the stars, watching the moon slowly rise and fall, though I can’t help but notice she always gets these headaches the morning after. It’s like looking at the light too long disorients her; messes up her mind. Scar laughs and says that this may be the only thing I’m right on, but when Impulse says the same thing, I start to actually believe it.
// also known as: Pearl is acting weird after casting the demon away from Impulse, and Grian writes Cub a letter asking for desperate, guilty help.

Summary
Before Martyn can yell, he’s engulfed by the water, seized by the ankle of the same sandal that had broken its surface just before. The bottle, no longer in Martyn’s hand, hits the ocean and sinks. Down. Down. Down. Down.
He breathes, and all he finds himself breathing is not oxygen. Something so cold and salty that it’s numbing. Drowning his taste buds, rushing into his chest like a burst dam, staining his throat with something rough and icy, yet so unbearably burning.

Summary
Martyn attempts to feed his anger with murder, after Scott and Cleo's persistent axe-crit soul bound torture. Little do they know this poke at a laugh hits far deeper than skin. Seasons deep, even. So deep one might say it could sever a head.

Summary
“Gem?”
Gem can’t hear anything. She’s silent. She’s thinking, but she’s thoughtless.
She only feels water pressing up against her skin, through her chest… The gentle current sweeping her hair through the water, as it mindlessly bumps her head against the sand caked below, or as it pushes her into the wooden hull of her boat… again… and again… and again…
And then, even if only for a second, Gem feels nothing, and it's comforting.

Summary
The whisper stirs. Under the shimmer of their caretaker’s sculk, and the dim glow of the snow-filled sky, Cryo meets eyes with the thornling. Her hair is speckled with fresh snow, her shawl is flicking in the gentle mountain wind.
“I’m only looking out for you, Cryo. I only came to check on you,” she repeats upon departure, snow crunching under every footfall away from the avian. But Cryo does not need to be checked on. Cryo does not need to be looked after. Cryo has company, and Cryo is not afraid.
// alt title: Cryo is not afraid of the sculk that he wears, but the loneliness he carries.
