when i go there

MEET MOMO .

daughter of iris / queen of rollerskates

        MOST OF THE TIME, people like momo drove him up the wall, the positivity and light being enough to draw a headache from the depths of his soul. but there was something more tolerable about the blonde, maybe it was because she seemed easy enough to fool if he had to, maybe it was because there was this untouched beauty about her that was endearing, either way….here he was with her for the second time this week. “daggers made of light, huh? probably beats this thing.” and he motioned to the black and gold plated dagger in his own hand, although his had history, one that he got as a teenager back in korea that had saved his ass more times than not since he got a hecate kid to enchant it. “either way, you’re killing it, blondie.” dax assured her, smile melting across his face, although his intentions were far from pure she seemingly didn’t note it, “of course i would, you’re nice to spend time with, consider it a date.” and he moved his attention back to the wood with the smile still on his face, although it was more so for himself as he carved her name into the surface and hummed lowly under his breath in concentration. it was only after a couple of beats that he glanced up at her with a chuckle, “take a picture, it might last you a bit longer.” dax teased before leaning forward, keeping his gaze on her as he blow gently on the wood, soft strawberry lips clearing the dust before nodding, “all yours now, what do you think?”

THE TEASE WAS MORE THAN WELCOMED even if the son of hades never expected it to happen or perhaps even if the daughter of iris didn’t intend it to be as such. it’s all greek to him, though, and he loved every second of it. her laughter was a welcomed respite from the loneliness and emptiness that have plagued him for the past few days, weeks even, and her elation, her compliment, her touch were more than cherry on top. he almost goes in for a kiss, reading into things too early, but catches nothing but air when she immediately pulls back and turns to the game instead. that doesn’t chase the boyish, dreamy grin off his face, however, as the fact that it almost happened, at least in his head, was more than enough to keep himself elated at the situation. “ i was just lucky, i guess. i mean, i still am. ” he lets a small chuckle escape his lips as he watches her go, applauding her triumph, before taking his turn. “ maybe we should take this up a notch ?? a quick smooch on the cheek if i hit a higher mark ?? ” he gets ahead of himself, the ball rolling even before he can hear her response, and luckily hits the fifty point mark. his dark brown eyes widen in surprise as he turns to her, a playful smirk on his lips. are the gods on his side tonight?

Closed Starter: @eumomos​

More Info: Vincent’s on his new cryptid escapades of talking solitary walks when he spots Momo on her skates and waves her down - somehow the idea of talking with her doesn’t seem to upset him like most others.

After gaining her attention Vincent had taken a seat upon the wall beside him, smiling at Momo as she skated up to a stop near him. “Well if it isn’t my favourite campus skater. Don’t you ever get tired of always being on wheels Momo? Surely life passes you by much quicker when you’re always zooming around the place.” There’s almost a whimsy in his voice as he pictures what that would be like, the ability to speed up the turning of the earth to match the speed she must feel on her wheels. “I hope that you weren’t going somewhere because I would very much like to talk with you for a bit if you can stay still for long enough. Or we can walk, well I can walk, if you can keep yourself to my slow pace.”

she can’t help but beam at the blonde , the thoughtful gift making her day that much more brighter. emerald eyes fall onto the skates as she admires their shade of light blue, grinning at momo’s compliment. “these really are the prettiest, momo!” she chuckles lightly at momo’s comment before two pull away and she takes the skates from her. fingers instinctively going toward the wheels of the skate, as she gives one a small spin. it couldn’t be that different? freya nods, eyes gazing around them to try and find a suitable place to put them on. “no, it doesn’t seem like it’s any different but i may need a hand getting back onto my feet after i put them on. i’m very used to the blade, wheels? not so much.”

        THE WAY SHE SKIPS along beside his heavy strides is laughable to anyone who spots them, something so bright next to something so dark, it’s a stark contrast of auras. and even then, he enjoyed walking beside her, the way it lifted his mood which was dangerous for him. she was like his own little upper, complete with pretty skirts and flowing blonde locks, and he knew that it was going to be addictive already. “ours huh?” he chuckled as he knelt down, fingers skimming over the bark as he hummed and then shook his head, “hardly pathetic, we all have our secret escapes and placing we find solitude, there’s nothing pathetic about that.” dax assured her as he hummed under his breath and glanced back over to her, rolling his eyes but keeping a fond smile upon his lips, “it’s hardly anything compared to your powers, controlling light and rainbows and stuff seems…pleasant.” far more pleasant than instilling madness and chaos, that was for sure. “but if you want, i could always stop by and check on your plants. granted, our powers in dio are more so aimed towards vegetation but i could see what’s up…if you wanted?” it was a ploy to get into her room, but he was one hell of an actor, the words sounding almost genuine as they spilled from his lips. as she told him to go ahead, long fingers wrapped around the handle to start carving her name into the dead wood, skilled and swift as he kept his gaze fixated on his task with nothing but undivided attention. 

          IT WAS HARD NOT to take a moment to look at her while she admired the water, simply because, dax really hadn’t met someone like momo. well travelled, he explored a lot of the world, and yet she had managed to stump him. he wondered how easy it would be to get her wrapped around his finger, a challenge for him to chase, and he hummed a little as he got lost in his own thoughts if only for a moment. “mug you? nah, i wouldn’t dream of it.” feeling his nose scrunch up at the word sweet being thrown anywhere near his direction, he shrugged as he twirled the dagger between his long fingers, “i mean we-” but she was already up, moving and holding out a hand to him, reluctantly he took it and pull himself up, “i’m just saying, now you wouldn’t be able to not claim your stake here.” he explained as they made their way to the log she spoke about, kneeling down beside it as her ran his hands over it to assure it was good as gone and had no life left in it. “this’ll work, she’s at peace.”

WATCHING HER TAKE THE LEAD ONLY SERVES TO WIDEN his grin, the guy who likes to know everything, inside and out, for once in his life excited to be out of the loop. “ no, not really !! i mean, i have an idea of what it is, how to play it, but i’ve never tried the game. ” like a loyal dog to its master, ved follows the blonde, with his dark brown eyes and his entirety, eager to throw himself into this activity that she seems to be very interested in. for the past few days, weeks even, all ved has had to throw his interest at were dark and sad thoughts, things that no one should ever find themselves alone with. nodding at every word, ved was quick to note everything that he needed to, taking in each and every detail, as much as he can about the game, wanting to impress her. she impresses him first, though, and he could do nothing else but applaud her brilliance. “ wow, you’re good at this !! ” steeling his nerves, he takes his turn, taking time to familiarize himself with the ball. then he throws it, and though he doesn’t expect much, his expectations are exceeded, the ball landing in the 30 points marker as well. “ whoa !! that’s good right ?! ” his eyes widen in surprise as he turns to her, jaw slightly dropped, a mixture of excitement and bewilderment.

          SOMETHING ABOUT THE girl was so….bright, it almost hurt his eyes to look at her for too long, which is why his gaze moved away now to stare at the ripples of waves on the surface of the lake. although it doesn’t stop the little smile that pulls on the corner of his mouth as she speaks once more, tongue clicking for a moment as he nods, “you would be far too powerful for anyone’s good, that’s for sure.” the boy admits with nothing but a genuine tone lacing his voice, leaning back on his palms as he finally moves to look at her again, “of course, i thought that was a given.” and he’s swift to raise a brow in curiosity at the mention of not having anything with her name on it, taking a few beats before sitting up a bit more and digging into his pocket, pulling out a pocket knife in a swift flick of his wrist, “we can change that, if you want? i’m not a huge fan of carving into a tree, you know with the whole attachment to plants thing, but maybe we could find a piece of driftwood.”

the sight of momo skating toward her brings a bright smile onto freya’s lips as she just slightly picks up the pace. “momo!” she greets her, getting to spend time with momo being such a treat. their shared passion of skating being something that freya enjoyed, even if momo’s type of skating was completely new to the blonde. though, that made it much more exciting. she was just as happy to venturing into learning how to skate on land as she was teaching momo how to skate on the ice. which was why the gift momo had gotten her causes a grin from ear to ear to curve on her lips. “you got me skates!” she gushes, a small laugh leaving her lips. emerald eyes beam as arms stretch out to bring momo into an embrace. “you’re the sweetest, thank you!”

          HER WORDS HAD a laugh falling from his lips, mostly out of bewilderment at the blonde, but he complied of course when he settled down next to her. when the two had crossed paths at the carnival, he wasn’t in the best of spirits, june had torn into him and somehow…had figured out his massive mistake of hooking up was jazmine before things were properly finished. then here momo came, like some angel dressed in neon lights, somehow picking him up and settling him on his feet. he’d never really met anyone like her, and it was enticing to say the least, “it’s like you can read my mind, how do you do it? beauty and brains, a deadly combo.” he teased before offering her a boxy smile, leaning back on his palms as he looked out at the lake with a sigh, “well, don’t i feel like the most special guy on campus. it’s a great spot, i’ll try not to steal it from you.”
