social gatherings weren’t exactly johanna’s thing, but she’d be anywhere that had a good drink. velvet bourbon was one of her favorites because they didn’t stiff on the alcohol like most places did. a few drinks && she was almost happily buzzed, enough at least to not be a total asshole. though, admittedly, she almost laughed at the sight of entertainment. “yeah, people around here are dicks. they never change, not matter where you are.” johanna mused, dark gaze wandering over the stain. “that’s not gonna come out. they like their drinks fruity && dark it seems. an asshole who also has bad taste.”
Alec spent just a little too much time at Velvet Bourbon, but he was a social guy and liked to people-watch. At least, this Alec did. Normally, Alec Lightwood would be off working, or spending time with his family, not slicking his hair back in a small mirror in the corner of the dining room. After he determined that every hair was perfectly in place, he turned and was immediately met with a spilled drink on his shirt. “ Hey, this is brand new! ” He called out to the person who had now completely walked away, as if nothing happened. “ Asshole. ” He muttered, reaching for a napkin to blot at the stain.
despite all the blows, you are still s t a n d i n g.

Bev had brought Tink along for this exact reason, and fae was happy to help. In fae’s opinion, instructions were for sellouts as well; fae nodded in agreement at the sentiment. As the two of them looked on at what they’d narrowed their selection down to - two coffee tables, both modest in price and very nice, either of which would look great as the centerpiece to the redhead’s little apartment living room - blue eyes studied the first that was pointed at. Fae smiled with the other as she grinned that knowing, warm smile of her’s, giving back a little shrug of Hey, if it works ! The blonde wouldn’t be the first to throw stones, considering fae’s hobby of hitting things with a hammer until they worked. Both of them seemed relatively easy to piece together, as long as she had the right tools to do so with. So, Tink went with the one that appealed most to fae aesthetically. With a point to the one on the left, there was the answer - I really like that one. Then fae looked to the other, smiling their own clever, knowing smile. As long as we do it together, we’ll be the dream team ! Both of their personalities meshed so well, their determination and passion and warmth, it was sort of perfect how they’d ended up friends. What do you say ? Ultimately, though, it was the other’s choice - they’d have to live with it in their home for the next little while.

besides with the losers, it’d always been rather DIFFICULT letting people in ; the cruel words she heard from many over the years a constant echo. but with tink she didn’t worry. it was surprisingly e a s y . && while she greatly loved her childhood friends, considering most of them had all their memories she felt a bit misplaced. she could simply be herself, who she was right now. bev studied fae’s reactions carefully, making her final glance between the two options before nodding. “you’re so right. the light wood will BRIGHTEN the room quite nicely.” it took bev a while to actually believe it, but she could do whatever she put her mind to. seeing tink’s clever smirk only confirmed that notion this time around. with a confident tilt of her chin, she grabbed the box containing all the parts of what would hopefully turn out to be a coffee table, carefully placing it into the cart — as much as it would fit at least. “let’s do it. i think i still have the box of tools we used last time, but do you think we’ll need anything else ??” with tinkerbell around beverly quickly learned not everything could be fixed with duck tape or glue, && she’d forever be grateful for that && for the great company. “you need anything while we’re here ?? && by the way you’re staying for dinner. whether we get delivery or i whip us up something, it’s happening. it’s the least i can do for all your help.”

you can read all about the gal who deserved way more in the mockingjay movies right here !! ( tw: weapon mention, murder, torture, trauma, aquaphobia )
long story v short, she’s tired™.
johanna slowly managed to settle into a somewhat normal life after the rebellion. she visited the friends that she, much to her surprise, met along the way. though her guard always remained high, but a bit lower with a few select individuals. however one day she woke up in a hotel room in ivywood with all of her memories still in tact. confused, she tried to remain in the shadows as johanna learned all that she could, which unfortunately for her wasn’t much. worried it has something to deal with snow’s followers rebelling back, she’s been a bit of an ominous presence, waiting to find someone she knows or to find more information before her fight instincts kick in ( which ... knowing her they always do ). even so she can be rather sarcastic & blunt, if she doesn’t like you, you’ll know. while exhausted™ ( & that being an understatement ) from everything she’s gone through, johanna is never one to give up a fight, even when she have nothing left. upon hearing some others don’t have all their memories however, she may perhaps be a bit jealous, but still will want to help, though in a way she doesn’t wish for anyone to be able to remember all that they’ve gone through.
rival, friends who roast but support each other bless, someone perhaps she’s suspicious of?, a good friend or two would be nice — though to get her to relax™ takes a lot, workout bros, clients, etc etc — & all the things !! & just like with bev, if you’d like to plot with johanna please make that heart blush & i’ll come to you sometime !!
at the collision, johanna scowled, words of spite about to part lips when her dark gaze saw her, the mockingjay herself. despite the two not always seeing eye to eye, johanna assumed the other wouldn’t go as far as to pretend to not know whom she was. not after everything. apparently the rumors regarding memories in this place were TRUE. if only she could’ve been so lucky. a forced smile tugged at the corners of her lips, though unable to meet her eyes ( they hadn’t been for quite some time ). “you appear so agile — suppose clumsiness truly is in one’s DNA.” she reached around the other for a few hordorves. johanna would never admit it, but it was almost comforting to talk to someone so familiar, even if they didn’t know, even if it was katniss. “but i can’t blame you for wanting to run away with a full plate. it is all quite good && readily available. i wonder how they’re paying for it all though.”
@heartsofember ☆ event starter
Katniss was surprised she had it in her to leave George’s side at all. It wasn’t that she was dependent on him so much as it was she didn’t really enjoy parties. Something seemed chillingly familiar about it but she couldn’t pin anything down. One of the few things she did like about parties was the food. It was the only thing provided by this party that she didn’t actively avoid. Perhaps she should have tried to avoid it a little because she was becoming certain that she was starting to annoy some of the other guests getting something to eat as well. When she turned to leave, she almost collided with another person. Her breath held for a couple of seconds, Katniss quickly took stock of the situation before letting out a sigh of relief. “That was a close one. I promise, if I spill food on anyone tonight, it’ll be myself.”
{ hunter schafer, trans person, she/they } have you heard that ( luna lovegood ) from ( harry potter ) appeared in town? i know, i can’t believe it either. she is ( twenty-one ) years old and is a ( college student ). I’ve heard that she has a tendency to be ( optimistic & eccentric ) and ( distant & blunt ), and they have ( some ) of their old memories.
name: luna lovegood nicknames: loony lovegood😢 age / birthday: 21 / february 13th astrological sign: aquarius hogwarts house: ravenclaw height: 5′9″ occupation: college student, studying biology to later focus on animal science gender / pronouns: trans person / she/they orientation: pansexual
( tw: death, bullying, abduction, war ) soo me being tired & there being a whole lot of movies & books, here’s their wiki !!
luna age-wise is taken a few years after the battle of hogwarts. she however has no memory of ever getting married to rolf scamander nor of their children lorcan & lysander. in fact, hogwarts in her mind wasn’t even a school for witchcraft and wizardry but simply a boarding school that she attended ( we love some ?? angst bless ). luna remembers her friends, but nothing yet of the magic or troubles they all faced having fought with voldemort & his supporters. she has nightmares from time to time, & strange ( more so than usual for luna at least, bless their heart ) things tend to happen during heightened emotions which hint at her magic abilities, but she has yet to remember any of that part of her life.
luna’s not one to pretend to be anyone but themselves, even if most don’t quite understand. luna’s intelligent, a non-conformist, & someone who’s quite perceptive, noticing many things that others may not. she’s always in her own little world, & if she finds the topic of conversation boring luna’s been known to drift off into own thoughts. her father is one of the most important people, & if anyone has anything negative to say her usual quirky demeanor is quickly replaced with anger ( this in turn, also applies to those they deem close ). despite the harsh judgements of others, luna’s noncritical of others. luna may have a hard time making friends but those she has, she’d do anything for. <3
friends !!, classmates, maybe a roommate ??, confidant, study partners, someone they can ramble to, etc etc !! & as always, make that heart blush for me to come to you !!
one look at the sky was all it took for luna to be pretty sure it was going to storm later. which only meant that they wouldn’t want to be going back && forth between classes && their apartment. so alas, there they were, lugging all their textbooks around campus. she knew she looked rather FOOLISH, but at the time it seemed like a good idea. now she only had regret, jaw tight with concentration as she clung to the heavy books for dear life, GRATEFUL when the other offered a seat. “oh !! thank you. you’re way too nice.” luna breathed out, plopping down next to alice, yet carefully placing their books down beside themselves. books, whether for pleasure or for university, were things luna held in HIGH REGARD. “you’re a lifesaver.” a grin && a light chuckle, luna’s gaze peered down at the other’s textbook. “you have a test or something ??”

when alice had woken that morning, she’d been relieved to see a sky muddled with heavy, dark clouds. the past two days had been intolerably sunny, and she’d had to email her professors stating she wouldn’t be in class due to migraine. which wasn’t entirely a lie. ever since the news of the she’d been getting them more frequently since the realization that they were all trapped here. it was as if that invisible border was blocking her visions more often than not. her frustration was lessened a bit by the preferable change in weather. her economics textbook lay open in her lap, and though her head was down, she was only skimming the pages. it was all stuff she’d studied countless years and years before. besides, she’d already seen that she would pass the test. her dark, spiky head lifted with a friendly smile as someone approached the bench. “ hi. did you want to sit? i can make room. ”
edgcofgreat / ben hanscom * !!
This should have been a fun night, especially now that Beverly was here with him, but Ben just couldn’t bring himself to let loose. One would think that, with this being the second time that Bev didn’t remember their relationship now, he’d know what to do, but unfortunately he was just as lost as the last time. “ Hey, if anyone here’s wearing a clip-on, it’s Richie. Not me. ” He chuckled softly, trying to stop his expression from falling but ultimately failing. Suddenly he felt as though he was twelve years old again. “ I dunno, maybe. ”
🎈❤️🔥
brows furrowed tightly in immediate CONCERN at his fallen expression. her heart ached deeply to see him upset, it always had. this time however, the feeling was accompanied by the inkling suspicion that she was missing something. a stir of the heart that only started when she saw ben && some of the other losers again. hands grasped his arms, squeezing them comfortingly. “hey, i’m already missing that smile. besides, you got it. keep hangin’ tough && take it step by step. maybe we can even ask the boys in the band to play one of your favorite songs to make you feel better.” face remained stoic for only a moment before beverly could no longer hide her smirk. perhaps too many NKOTB references, but she couldn’t help herself — she had time to make up for. “&& if not impressed, their loss. plus, that simply means you’re stuck with me the rest of the night.”

kissed you when i saw you. stared deep into your eyes. i meant to say ' i love you ', but instead i said goodbye. shadows in the city ; i'm a stranger to myself, on these streets i'm someone else. shadows in the city ; like a demon in the dark come to tear us apart.
