          ANOUK KNEW THAT BENJI was in Icaria, and decided to show up by surprised to pester him a little. Her driver stopped the limo in front of his place, and she dismissed them so, she could do her own things. She looked at the window, in which she supposed might be his bedroom. She used her power, when noticing there's none around, and lifted over there, entering on the room, by the window, and got inside. ❛ Benji?  ❜

"Welcome back - I’m glad you didn’t die,” Steffi greeted, something akin to a fond smile on her face. Expressing emotions was sometimes... difficult for her, but she supposed Briar was worth the trouble, all things considered. “If you don’t mind me asking - what was it like? That place where the Nyx kids took you.” She wasn’t entirely sure what she would do if Briar did mind, seeing as she didn’t particularly want to drop subject. She could always save it for later and more intensely interrogate someone whose feelings she cared less about, she supposed.

It was still rather strange to Daniel, being back on Icaria and connected to the rest of the world once more. He supposed that it made sense to be disoriented after being away for so long, but that didn’t make it any less unsettling how strange it had felt to be back home with his dad for the last few weeks and free to move about rather than trapped and in the company of the few people he’d been around back in the Meadows. It was still so strange to be able to go out and take a stroll in the park without thinking about what the park ought to look like - and after having only experienced environments that seemed somehow off for so long, there was something about being firmly back in reality that seemed almost off in its own way. It was nice of course, but it was also a lot. He sat down on a park bench, looking around to appreciate the wind rustling the leaves, the sounds of birds chirping and other small details that had never felt quite right where he and the others had just gotten back from.

It was from that bench that he caught sight of Briar. He brightened, rather pleased to see a familiar face that didn’t fill him with... whatever the opposite of an uncanny feeling was. “Briar, hey!” He stood up and jogged on over. “How’re you doing?”

Bruce destroyed another furniture when she was out working and the pads all ripped all over her living room. Before she tries to kill her dog, she sent a text to her little brother, saying that her dog will spend a night with him and she would pick him up after work the next day. The trip from her place to Wolfies' wasn't too long. Then, she knocked on his rang the doorbell, and knocking on his door impatiently and her 5-month-old, Golden Retriever quiet by her side. ❛ Wolfie, I'm here. ❜ And kept knocking the door, impatiently until he opens it.

he best part of the day was when he got off, he adored his job and the people he worked with but it became sometimes a lot and he hated being so much time away from his daughter. he was grateful for people like millie for her help, taking his shoes off he walks into the living room seeing the brunette ❛  hey what’s up ? did she fall asleep already ? ❜ he asks her as he looks at the femme.

"We could always have a fourway. I don't mind."

It was quite amazing, really. His second night on the island and Julian had already pissed off a bunch of assholes from whoever forsaken god they spawned from. Within a span of fifteen minutes from when he arrived at some random party, one thing led to another, which led to a thrilling chase around the neighborhood.

He couldn't run forever of course, he had to somehow shake them off to get through with his evening. On a semi-crowded business street he took a random girl by the hand and pulled her on a dark alleyway. It was an old trick; no one liked looking at PDA. He pinned her to the wall and covered her mouth with a free hand, all while alerting his gaze on the gang of demigods running past them without a clue. "Keep quiet-- I'm not gonna hurt you--" It was only then that he actually looked at her--and my what a sight she was. He smirked and relaxed his hold on her a bit. "Sorry we had to meet like this. Just give me ten more seconds." Really it was NOT the time to flirt when he was basically keeping her hostage, but carpe diem so they say.
