hey hey! i’m b, twenty-five, she&her pronouns.

this blog’s activity is medium to low. although i’m active, i do have a life outside of roleplay. some days i don’t have the motivation to get online and other days i’m too busy. please keep this in mind when interacting with any of my blogs. for me roleplay is a hobby and i’ll be treating it as such.

if we are mutuals then that is an open invitation for you to come and talk to me. whether it’s about writing or not doesn’t matter. i want to get to write with you! when it comes to memes, you can send them whenever you want. nothing makes me happier than to see messages in my inbox. if you want to turn them into thread i highly encourage it.

if you want to shoot me a message to plot specific dynamics, etc. feel free to do so! it’s not a priority for this blog, but shipping is more than welcome for those who are interested.

she didn't want to get too close. she was trying to keep her distance. maybe because deep down, she was afraid of what he was capable of. or maybe it was guilt. guilt over what they were using him for. mel didn't know anymore. but she knew bob didn't deserve this. she had no other choice but to stay behind and keep an eye on him. bosses orders. she could only assume from valentina storming out of his experimental suite with visible frustration meant that whatever she wanted him to do; he didn't. she understood why the woman was rushing. her entire reputation is on the line. but just like they were new to all of this… so was he. ❛  what?  ❜ his comment about himself leaves her in disbelief, ❛  you have super strength, you're extremely fast— hell, bullets can't even touch you. ❜ she shakes her head, still trying to wrap her mind around it. even though she’s still figuring him out, she can admit it. he’s something special. ❛  you don't suck. valentina's just... dealing with a lot of pressure right now. ❜

for a brief moment, she sees herself in him— that desperate need for approval, the constant self-doubt. it all felt so familiar, like looking at her reflection in a mirror. this is another reason why she has doubts about the entire plan. valentina wants someone to play the role of the perfect hero, but if he can’t believe in himself, the whole thing is bound to fail miserably. maybe, if she could understand him better, she could help him get there. ❛ do you remember why you chose to be apart of the sentry project, bob? ❜ she asked, finally deciding to sit down in the chair by his bedside instead of staying at arm’s length.

mel didn't answer right away. her eyes drifted back to her phone screen— lingering on the black-and-white photo of bob, the medical notes scattered through his file. he was undeniably talented, no doubt about that. but despite the abilities he’d shown everyone earlier, and taking into account what she'd learned about his past, he was vulnerable in ways that made putting trust in all of this feel far too dangerous.

she's crossed paths with individuals with similar history. some of them were harmless. some weren't. most of them just needed help. not this, though. not weaponization. but she couldn't voice those thoughts. this is the woman who had pulled her from the lowest point in her life. how could she start questioning her judgment now? ❛  yeah,  ❜  she said, the smile on her lips faint and unconvincing. but she was too busy making herself look motherly enough for their new guest to even notice. ❛  everything's going according to plan. ❜

◉ in the comics, melissa runs away from home to escape her abusive father and in hopes of reconnecting with her mother, who she believes was wrongfully imprisoned for stealing. my version of melissa leaves home after graduating high school instead. she makes it to new york to attend college and that's where she earns a degree in international relations with a minor in sociology. but life after graduation isn't easy. despite her academic achievements, mel struggles to find stable work in her field. dealing with student debt and lacking a support system, she eventually finds herself unhoused, living out of shelters and scraping by however she can.

⊙ everything changes when she crosses paths with valentina who sees potential in her. she offers her a job as her assistant which not only gives mel a way back on her feet, but also gives her valuable experience in a space she originally wanted to be apart of. mel never had a stable parental figure, so valentina becomes the mother mel always wished she had. she saved mel from her struggles and gave her a chance to succeed. because of this, mel feels a strong loyalty to her, despite not always agreeing with her morals and actions.

◉ obviously, it’s unclear which direction they’ll take mel in the future, but if their plan is to make her the new songbird, i can see her agreeing to be experimented on? originally, she had her vocal cords technologically enhanced by roxxon technicians, but it could be the o.x.e. group operated by valentina instead.
