It starts as a simple game. Tell the truth or take a shot.
They take a lot of shots.
To the point where Dean has reached the point that maybe he thinks that telling the truth wouldn't be such a bad thing. Which means that he may have had too many shots and should probably saunter back to his car to sleep it off.
Instead, he opens his mouth: "Sometimes I wish I could be a dad."
Oh. Well shit. She wasn't expecting that. She's pretty drunk but it hits her where she lives because....
"I am a mother. I gave up my daughter to keep her safe."
It's not something she usually shares but she knows she can trust Dean and it's not like she's telling him where he could find Alice or anything like that. She's still safe.
Lydia stands on the edge of the shore, toes deep in the sand, watching as the waves crest and crash down, but inexplicably part around her feet. She wasn't supposed to be out of the ocean this long. She intended to spend a few days with Allison, and then head back to the ocean again.
But every time she goes near the water, it parts away from her, like it's scared of her. This would be curious, even interesting, if it wasn't keeping her from going home.
Eventually she steps back towards where Allison is standing, and frowns. "It's not supposed to do that."
Allison has enjoyed her time with Lydia, but she never planned on keeping her from going back home. Even if a selfish part of her is glad she might get more time with her. She tucks that way deep inside and focuses on the problem at hand.
"It's like the water is allergic to you somehow."
Allison isn't familiar with magic but there seems to be something going on.
"I think it's some kind of curse. We'll have to find a cure."
Zari sets off on the path that heads to Nicodranas, planning to find another ship now that her brother has taken up her spot on the Waverider. She had another lead, but she's likely missed that ship leaving port at this point.
Not that she regrets the delay - the person involved probably would have died without cleric intervention - but most berths on ships are first come, first serve.
She sticks to the road, planning to continue on the path to the city and hope for the best when she gets the sense that something - or someone - may be following her. She clenches the straps of her backpack, starting to pick up speed and see if there's somewhere she can duck off the road and lose them. When she realizes she's still being followed, she starts to gather some electricity around her fingers, ready to launch into an attack, but as she spins and realizes she recognizes him, she makes a noise of surprise, before letting the spell fizzle.
"I'm here to help, I promise," Diego puts his hands up in surrender, not wanting to cause any trouble. Zari had saved his life. That's not something he takes lightly. He's been away from his siblings for a long time now, trying to keep a low profile to keep Viktor and Klaus especially safe.
"Look you saved my life. I owe it to you to protect you a while."
Laurel skids across the floor, sliding to put herself between Diego and the door. She knows that his father is a hot-button issue. She knows that whatever he's about to do about the information she gave him, about what Cisco found in the pocket dimension on the other side of Hotel Obsidian.
But she doesn't think it's a good idea - at least not right now. Not going in alone, not going in angry.
There's a moment after the calm of a fight where you exhale, take a breath and take stock of your success. You revel in the satisfaction of a job well done. This is what you were built for.
And then all the pain hits.
This fight is particularly bad. One of the goons got a slice across his side that really comes back to get him. He let's out a muffled sound of pain that only increases when Damon claps him on the back.
"Walk it off, brother."
"We're gonna take a nap, right?" He glances from Damon over to Rebekah. "Maybe a meal?"
As one of the hardest flameouts in Brakebills history, Sam Winchester doesn't spend a lot of time with other students beyond his reputation. Rumor has it he was one of the most promising students Brakebills had seen in a while, before his girlfriend died in a fire and he split town.
Some say he did it. Some say he's trying to hunt down who didn't. Regardless he went off the map for a few years until he started to build more of a reputation in hedge circles. He's where you go when you need a favor, and if you do owe him a favor, it's one you want cleared as soon as possible, before things wind up getting too creative.
In the case of Alice Quinn, Sam owes her a favor - more specifically, Sam owes Kady a favor, and Kady is giving it to Alice. Alice also is rather famous around Brakebills circles, and Sam still does have some friends in those areas. But he wants to see her for himself.
Because if whatever she wants is enough to get Kady to spend her leverage over him, it has to be good. He meets her at a local coffee shop and approaches with a smile.
Malia has mixed feelings on the beach as a location.
Sitting and sunbathing is nice. She's a bit like a cat where she will one hundred percent take a nap in the sun if given the opportunity, and a beach can be a good place to do that. If she gets a sunburn she'll heal. It's fine.
What she doesn't like is the crowds, and the ocean and sharks. She can fight a lot of things but fighting sharks on their own turf would have her at a distinct disadvantage.
Still, Tyler's friends invited them out, and it was a good day, considering who they were spending time with. They played volleyball and Malia talked more with Bonnie and Elena and Caroline and she still doesn't think they like her but there was maybe about fifty percent less passive aggressiveness. Progress.
Later, after the rest of the group had headed to bed after dinner, Malia heads out to the beach to find Tyler sitting there, watching the sunset.
Theft is not the kind of crime Diego usually goes after. He could give a shit less about things, he's more concerned about keeping people safe. But Bela has been sniffing around the Academy and considering the kind of things his father owned -- well that was concerning.
It's a starlit night when he catches her outside. He's surprised she's been so sloppy casing the place. Or maybe she wanted to be caught. One of the two. He has his knives at the ready but he doesn't throw them yet.
"Tell me why I shouldn't just throw these at you and be done with it."
To want something of Reginald's means she has to be desperate, and that tugs at something in him, even if he hates to admit it.
Allison's eyes narrow as she waits to see if their trip to the first floor will resume anytime soon, but the longer the silence stretches, the more she thinks that they are well and truly stuck. Though that's probably what she gets for stepping onto an elevator in Gotham.
At least it's just her and Bruce. At least it's just stopping and not plummeting.
"Any chance that we'll just keep moving quickly and nothing is actually wrong, and it's just a weird mechanical quirk?"
[When a long lost friend of the Mikaelsons comes to town to cause problems, it usually isn't a friend of Freya's. Which is why, when Yennefer appears, she doesn't think much of it. They go out, they dance, they drink. Yennefer mildly tolerates her brothers, and while Klaus eyes her with suspicion, Elijah delicately interrogates her over dinner.
Business as usual.
The longer Yennefer stays, however, the more Freya's own suspicions begin to rise, and eventually, as she places a drink in front of her at Rosseau's, she can't help but ask:]
It's been years since her adventures in Barovia, and Solmerra likes to think she is older and wiser than she was back then. She still returns to Barovia often to visit Alondra and Ismark (and Sabrina, when she's there), but she also travels. She goes home, she confronts her parents and the way she was taught. She figures out where she fits with her faith. She still believes in many of Kelemvor's teachings, but she knows things aren't as black and white as she once thought.
She's in a tavern and there's a bard playing. She's...not great, honestly. But there's something about her that catches Solmerra's attention. She approaches her when she's done performing.
