WHILE THE OTHERS HAD MADE IT known they did not want victoria wandering off on their own, the tribrid had centuries of habits that were long before their lovers and it wasn’t as simple as that for them. decades of that time were spent in the darkest part of themself and victoria was determined to right those wrongs and saving these children meant that they could count one more good deed to try and weigh out the bad. 

WHILE MOST OF THE TOWN HAD been at the picnic area and the surrounding woods, the tribrid had taken the opportunity to slip into the school unnoticed. while getting into the homes of the children may have proved more rewarding, vic knew that they had to have something here belonging to them. one small object no one would notice missing for a spell. one object each. with no mortals around, they hadn’t bothered with a cloaking spell- but the approach of footsteps made them defensive. 

   What or who the hell takes kids? Sick people… Monsters. They could be lost, wanting an adventure it was better to think that way. Staring for a moment at the person speaking - groups, never alone, always have phones ready. She wished there was more to do, Nellie didn’t know the kids directly but it felt… human to be among people who were desperate, hopeful, angry. Emotions causing a small tug on her lips the demigod glanced to her left.

         “I suppose were in the same search group?”

     he wasn’t a stranger to horrors of the world, and wasn’t stupid enough to believe to others were ―― but kids ? that always hit hard. children were delightful creatures, innocent and honest before the world will chew and spit them out. kieran stood in front of the tv, arms crossed and frown on his face as he watched the news again. he wanted to help but didn’t want to bring to much attention to them  ―― it would be dangerous and that kept him in place. he more felt than heard someone comings in and tilted his head a little, eyes not leaving the screen.

     “    ―――― we have a monster in our neighborhood, huh ?   “   he said quietly.

SOMEHOW THE STORY HAD EVOLVED FROM missing children to possible kidnapping and part of them wonders if maybe it was just the media twisting things into a dramatic fashion as always. monsters came in all shapes and sizes, victoria knew that but hearing that children were involved- in any capacity- made the tribrid angry enough that they wanted to make the ground swallow up any offender and crush them. 

Eyes flicker over the list in the others hands before pushing the cart in search of them. The question earns them a sigh, and after a few moments of silence, large shoulders raise into a shrug. “Whenever the others are with me I guess. I know it leaves them with a sense of guilt. Though I think sometimes its just a habit.” His early years had been spent as a human, and even now there was something reassuring about the exchange of money. “That and the last thing I want is for us to gain any unwanted attention — hunters or otherwise.” The pair of them likely could debilitate any real threat, but if they weren’t around and the others were left to fend for themselves? They could manage, but they didn’t have the healing abilities he and Vic did. 

anonymous asked: the tower, judgement, the fool 

the tower: favorite colors to wear?

“maroons, navy blues, black, white, and grey make up most of the closet.”

judgement: do you enjoy school?

“school was a bit different when i was younger,” they mused with a grin. “i suppose that i did like it for a while.”

the fool: do you have any nicknames?

“my family calls me vic. i did go by vivi in the early eighties but that’s been put to rest. i answer to vee as well, but that’s mostly for my loves as well. most everyone else calls me victoria.”

“ I would have gotten away with if you weren’t standing right there!” Theo smiled and kissed Vic’s cheek. “Look what I found!” She said and opened up her coat to reveal the tiny puppy in her shirt pocket. “I found her out back all alone and cold. She can sleep in my room and I’ll take care of her.Before you say anything, I’ve already named her Daisy so legally that means she’s ours now.”

Persephone typically looked good in the color green — but jealousy was not a shade that complimented her well. One of her little family always picked her up when she worked until close, offering company when patrons trickled out of the bar and she was left alone. Typically, she left them to their own devices, but tonight it seemed they’d unknowingly caught someones eye and the man had been ramping up to approach for some time. Fingers clenched around the glass she’d been in the midst of cleaning — the delicate material fracturing beneath her grasp. With a frustrated growl, abandon her task and instead moved across the bar ( cutting the man off mid-approach ). “Lover.” She purred in greeting, fingers moving to settle against their thigh. “Are you sure I can’t get you a drink?” Even as the question was posed, chocolate orbs flickered over their shoulder to the man ( still hesitating part way to them ). The warning in her gaze faded into one of triumph as the man retreated. 

Orion didn’t particularly have a taste for food  — but it never stopped him from accompanying any of the others to the store. It seemed proper to assist ( to drive, to open car doors, to carry all of the bags ) and it often gave him one on one time alone with one of his lovers that might not otherwise happen for weeks ( a fact he couldn’t find true fault in, but the time together was occasionally nice ). 

Coming to a sudden halt as they did, he couldn’t help the slight quirk of his lips. “You realize you don’t need to justify the purchase to me. I said buy whatever you want - I don’t think organic is really going to break the bank.”

WHILE VICTORIA DIDN’T NEED TO EAT regular food any longer, parts of them still longed for the normalcy of having a meal instead of drinking it from a person. maybe they shouldn’t have been given free reign with the shopping that week but vic had almost bullied the others into letting them do it even if they often came back with more snacks and sweets than actual preparable foods. admittedly, they did enjoy the alone time with orion even more, it was sometimes rare that any of the eight of them got singular time with another so vic was grateful to take it any way it was offered- even if it was just a small trip to the store.

ofprophets said: “i made you some soup, and i’m going to sit here until you eat it. i can wait.”

THEY ARE ALMOST TOO QUICK TO give in to theo’s demands in truth. very little fight is put up when the oracle slides the bowl their way. breaking the stone mask, victoria pulls the bowl closer and raises it to pink tinted lips. “you know, i can’t get sick right?” chuckling, the tribrid ignores the use of a spoon and sips the broth straight from the bowl with a wink over the rim at theo. 

Eyes twinkled with mirth at the others words, her own lips cracking into a gentle smile as she observed them. “You are a godsend, my love.” Returning the jar of nutella into the cupboard, the succubus tossed her spoon into the sink before turning her full attention to them. “I don’t have work for hours yet — do you have plans for the day, or can I steal you away?”

He’d spun into the driveway just a touch to quickly ( with reflexes a typical human wouldn’t possess ) and had anyone else seen him, he might have gotten an earful. “Haven’t a clue what you’re talking about.” He replied gruffly, snapping the trunk of his car shut — eyes raising to offer her a wink ( the only true sign of his teasing ). Lifting the small cooler in his hands, he held it out to her in offering before he spoke, “fresh blood, if you want some. Otherwise it’ll all go in the fridge.”
