sitting in limbo

⟨ EVAN RODERICK. CIS MALE. HE/HIM. ⟩ though the mist might prevent some from seeing it, IVAN GAVRIKOV is actually a descendent of D Y O N Y S U S. it’s still a question of whether or not the TWENTY-THREE year old FILM MAJOR from SOCHI, RUSSIA has taken after their godly parent completely, but the demigod is still known to be quite PASSIONATE & RECKLESS. 

where: lake cleito. when: late afternoon, around 15:45pm. who: open to all. 

in between classes, lake cleito was a spot where nell often found she was lured to. deep in thought, she perched on slated rock which faced the water stream. abilities still not rectified from the incident at the barn several month ago, she contemplated practicing but couldn’t trust herself to not lose control regardless of the water being a barrier for a fire as wild as the last to spread further than the rocks in front of her. she was alerted to a presence which came from behind her even before she heard the footsteps, she took out class notes and reviewed them - sun beaming down on her pale complexion, silver jewellery reflecting the rays as she highlighted important cases to remember with hopes of knowing them in time for the next pop quiz. she didn’t react to the other, she was never one to initiate a conversation so instead she remained quiet and shifted her gaze to them every so often momentarily.  

      she knows he knew better than this. but she also knows he’s close with iker (damn you, iker), which was the only reason she could assume he was here, had he not confirmed it right after. they’ve done a pretty good job avoiding each other for the past three years alone, but seeing him always makes her feel weird. caught off guard. very un-adelaide. and she hated that. “probably flirting with some poor co-ed or jerking off to gothic literature. he’s not here right now either way. why, what do you want with him?” 

LOCATION: mia and vi’s room

"I LOVE WHAT YOU'VE DONE WITH THE ROOM," he says, not even concealing the mocking in his tone as he sits down on what he takes to be Mia's bed. "how does it feel having a roommate?" after spending two months stuck in one room with sweaty men, he is grateful he has a room of his own, hell, even if he had to share a room with dax, he'd be happy with that settlement. "anyway, i'm not here to make fun of you, well, i am but i also had another purpose. are you free tonight? they're projecting this polish film at the theatre and i can't think of anyone else that would enjoy it. do you want to go?"

where: glaukopis library with: @ivanxeu​

        “hi, if you have any questions, i’d be happy to–” she starts her saccharine spiel as she does when a new person approaches, but it’s quickly cut off when she turns to see who is in her library.  seeing him dredges up too many emotions for adelaide’s taste. “oh. you. we don’t have any more film books than before. what do you want?”

LOCATION: iker’s room

"YOU REALLY NEED TO STOP FUCKING MY SISTERS," ivan says, shaking his head as a long frustrated sigh escapes him. if he had known he had to come back to the civil war that was the dionysus house, he would have stayed back in russia eating questionable food but unfortunately, the lack of communication stop him from finding out all this mess. "it's really hard being your best friend, you know?" if he hadn't known iker for so long, he would have cut him out of his life long ago. while ivan was a son of dionysus, he only liked drama on stage or on the screen, but not in real life. "so, what are you going to do now? and don't expect me to help, i'm switzerland in all this mess."

LOCATION: wherever the drama club meets

DISCIPLINE WAS SOMETHING THAT NOT EVEN THE MILITARY COULD INSTILL IN IVAN. he had returned to eonia just a week ago and he was back to his bad habits of running late. fortunately, he still remembered how to get out of troubles. for once, nepotism had its advantages. a quick stop at gaia's grounds and he was ready to be fashionably late to the drama club meeting. "sorry, i overslept," he cynically states as he walks into the room. "but that didn't stop me from spoiling my favorite drama president." an innocent smile graces his features as he hands aylin the drink he especially got for her, a way to earn her forgiveness for being late. "okay, so what have i missed? and i mean not just the past 30 minutes, but the past two months."

“three? vincent because well he’s pretty, kennedy even if he likes reading boring books and maybe someone from hestia’s because they are all nice.”

“uh, i dont really have many favourite moments but i liked going to the movies with my mother and also go to the beach during the summer.”

“how can i pick just one? okay i guess pan's labyrinth. not only because i really like guillermo del toro as a person but i just think it’s the perfect combination of del toro’s influences from children's literature to the monsters of his childhood. this film has everything... beauty, horror, sadness, violence, love, innocence. i mean i just love it”

“i guess the economic crisis?”
