'twas grace that taught my heart to fear

Beyond, Beyond, Beyond (The Crane Wives 2024 Album) roleplay memes. Change pronouns, etc, as needed. Part One.

Scars

"I'm not the person that I thought I was."

"I couldn't tell you where the ache came from."

"It's raining in my head nearly all the time."

"It's raining in my head and I don't know why."

"It couldn't stop me from becoming the way that I am."

"I don't know why."

"God knows you tried."

"It's inevitable that I end up with scars."

"I'm trying to come to terms with what you've done."

"I'm still burning like a tire fire deep down inside."

"Was I born with a hole in my heart?"

"We were always meant to fall apart."

"Nothing could have been done."

"Is that right?"

"We were fucked from the start."

Bitter Medicine

"Somebody take my keys, I'm in no shape for driving."

"I made my bed, but I'll sleep anywhere."

"Are you ashamed of me?"

"Did you buy what I'm selling?"

"I bite my tongue to keep the worst of the words in."

"It won't hurt nobody but me."

"I think it's making me sick."

"Don't look up to me, I'm not as tall as you think."

"I talk big game but it's bullshit."

"Somebody clean me up."

"The pain is weak, but it spreads anyway."

Higher Ground

"From where I'm standing I can't get a clear line on the future."

"Should I head for higher ground?"

"Something's happening, it's out of my hands."

"I gave up the truth and now I can't take it back."

"I can feel the earth shaking underneath me."

"Am I in danger or am I the threat?"

"This wasn't my plan."

"...yes, I agree," he replies, confused as to the repetition but willing to go along with it. He's long since learned to get over the little idiosyncrasies that make humans...well, human. His eyes follow the movements as the other man leaves money on the counter.

Ah. His explanation makes more sense. Still, it involves following an unknown entity, alone, at night, without backup. He weighs his options for a second; clearly, his meeting wasn't going to show, and he hadn't sensed any animosity from the other man. Should things go sideways, Cas was confident enough that he could have the upper hand. He nods, throwing the bartender a wave. She barely looks up from her glasses.

The other man trips, and he stifles the urge to throw out a hand in assistance. It seems he has it covered. Instead, he moves forward, holding the door open for the other so they can make it out of the bar alright. He waits all but six steps away from the establishment behind them, the glow of the lights still touching their figures, before he continues. "...how did you know?"

"you've got a glow about you." He smiles, half-hearted, but smiles all the same. "just something i can see. like, uh..."

A pause. Isaiah tries to figure out how to explain it. "like a glowing blue aura. sits around you. the grace, i guess."

It's not much of an explanation, Isaiah knows this. Knows well enough that it doesn't explain how he can see that aura, how he knows it must be grace. His hands travel to sit in the pockets of his jeans as they walk out onto the sidewalk. He's steadier now, out in the cool night air.

"[Name]. Look out."

"You can't be serious!"

"Help me get him up!"

"Every moment we spend talking about it wastes us precious time in results!"

"We can bring him back to life!"

"Find my serum!"

"This is a dream."

"I'll show you."

"Welcome back to life."

"Damn that bitch!"

"What is it? Are you alright?"

"He's trying to speak! The recorder!"

"He started ranting at us. Rather irrationally."

"I'm calling the police!"

"It's shock. Don't worry."

"What else could they believe? The truth?"

"He knew what happened to him!"

"It is up to us!"

"It's just a weak solution. So I don't have to sleep."

"I need it. Please?"

"Give it to me."

"Now. We must make our plans."

"He can't hear you. Or see you."

"It's a one way mirror."

Is that absolutely necessary?"

"I know how difficult this must be for you."

"You must trust me."

"I don't want to know. Just help him."

"Please. Please let me talk to him."

"I'm going to take care of him."

"I'm going to find out what happened to him."

"The neck is broken!"

"He's clearly dead."

"I've never seen anything like it!"

"What are you doing here?"

"I've been waiting for you."

"What did you do to him?"

"It was horrible."

"He's not insane. He's dead."

"I don't have to talk to you!"

My bank account is once again in the negatives, rent needs to be paid, and a bunch of other expenses are coming up.

MY RENT CHECK BOUNCED. I AM IN NEED OF $450 ASAP TO PAY FOR JUNE!

Please feel free to reach out for any other payment methods, commission info, ETC!

I WORK FULL TIME + PART TIME DOING DOORDASH + INSTACART. However, because my account was severely in the negatives before this income has been only enough to pull me out of the negatives for a short period of time. I have also LOST SNAP/EBT benefits, meaning I have NO MONEY FOR FOOD. Once the food I have now is gone, I will likely have trouble OBTAINING FOOD if I cannot reach the goal above.

"Don't you understand what he's done? What we could do?"

"He won't have anything to hold for us!"

"You still don't believe what you saw this morning?"

"He's a maniac! He may even be a murderer!"

"For your own good, he'll stop you!"

"No, no, we can't do that."

"Oh... Yes. We can."

"Meatball?"

"Just put your shoes on!"

"We're going to get caught!"

"Your optimism is touching."

I need you to help me."

The other man's sigh mirrors his own, and he knows that sound. He's heard it many a time from Sam, from Dean—something doesn't go the way they want or expect and that sigh means it's time to grit their teeth and push through. Perhaps they're sharing disappointment at the moment. Two figures at a bar, neither looking for the soul next to them, both chasing something else intangible. A few years ago, he would've thought even the idea of this happening foolish. Now, it just...feels like a regular Thursday.

At the casual remark, Castiel's eyes immediately turn to him. The assumption about him meeting someone wasn't entirely out of left field; there were few reasons to be at a bar this late that didn't involve heartbreak, guilt, a meeting, or a combination of all three. But the comment about what he was, now—that threw him off. Immediately, he's on the back foot, defensive tactics engaged. Head slowly turns towards the other, though even his shock isn't enough to wipe the wary confusion from his face.

"Hunting, is...is one word, for it," he says slowly, glancing down at the man's drink. "I was hoping there would be a friend here, but...it seems not." His eyes flick upwards towards the man's face, studying it closely. He doesn't recognize him. Should he? "...what are you?" he asks after a moment's hesitation, voice low as to not attract the bartender from the other end of the counter. He hopes he doesn't need to specify any options—the question should be obvious on its own.

The problem isn't so much the question, it's more that Isaiah doesn't know how to answer it. It feels as if he's human, only with a few extra steps. That was silly though, wasn't it? He's certain this angel isn't interested in the trials and tribulations he's been through, so Isaiah doesn't intend to dump it on him. Instead he fishes out his wallet from his pocket and leaves a handful of bills on the bar top. He picks up his drink, swallows the rest down, and then nods to Cas.

"th'walk back to where i'm staying is quiet. private." No need for anyone, not even the bartender, to overhear whatever Isaiah decides to end up saying. "i'll answer your question while we walk."

His legs stutter a little, he nearly trips, but Isaiah stays on his feet. He's never been a sloppy drunk and doesn't intend to pick up on being one now.

A glance back over his shoulder.

i poured my whole life out for you, and this is what i get in return?

i never gave up on you. never!

you could have saved them!

all you care about is yourself!

i'm never going to forgive you for what you've done.

this is the worst day of my life.

just say you never cared and be done with it.

i never want to see your face again.

you two deserve each other.

you could have told me before. i would have listened.

if you'd just been honest with me this whole time...

i gave you so many opportunities to tell me the truth.

did you ever tell me the truth, or were they all lies?

you know what i've been through, and you didn't care.

look at me when i'm talking to you!

i wish we'd never met.

meeting you was the worst mistake i've ever made.

don't come around here ever again. do you understand?

everything is ruined, and it's all your fault!

show me. show me what you're hiding!

it wasn't lost. you had it all along and never told me.

why did you never tell me your real name?

this was a mistake.

you look like an idiot.

no more second chances. we're done here.

get out of my sight.

i really thought you were different.

you were a total waste of time.
