holy rivers;

Anyone else been up since last night? Granted, I was passed out for a lot of it, but still. Maybe I could use a vacation.

APRIL: nothing to talk about

BELLAMY: hey codie, im great thanks for asking.

BELLAMY: was it really so hard to throw in some pleasantries before asking me about the dead girl?

BELLAMY: i saw a little but murphy was the one who got up close

BELLAMY: i was more preoccupied with passed out jac and fucked up eilwin.

BELLAMY: why?

CODIE: did you get hurt?

CODIE: did /they/ get hurt?

Health potions not so much, but I have other potions for that. I actually just made a batch for someone else if you wanna try? Or weed, weed is good too. I mean, I’ve got both so it’s really just a matter of preference. 

BELLAMY: as long as you know I'm not trying to rag on you

BELLAMY: yeah and i knew that when i signed up for this

BELLAMY: makes sense. names are very personal things. you can have an idea and then it doesn't fit.

[ after the rescue ]

CODIE: Hey, so, uh. I know last night was wild but..

APRIL: look, it's weird that /i'm/ saying that, but this isn't about a spotlight. this is about getting back at some crazy ass witches. we go with whoever has the best mind for this stuff. i just know it's not me

APRIL: i mean, yeah, and i know that maybe we should hate each other because of our history, but it doesn't have to be like that. i'm not an enemy here, despite what devon thinks

[ after the rescue ]

No, it’s fine, like I said right now is… a lot. Right, um, you feeling better after all that? There’s plenty of health potions to go around if you need one? 

Do health potions help anxiety? Or is that more of a weed thing? I mean.. either way, I’m down to try.

BELLAMY: shit i didn't mean it like that

BELLAMY: and even if i did, there's fucking tension coming from everywhere, so eh.

BELLAMY: does potential orange kitty have a name?

BELLAMY: that's what i thought

CODIE: Hahaha, it's okay :b

CODIE: Yeah, you're right. I think it's a lot to do with what we're planning on doing. Unfortunately, that's not gonna go away anytime soon.

DEVON: Okay cool, I'll bring them back to the room.

DEVON: Mhmm, everything's fine.

[ ... ]

DEVON: I'm just stressed is all.

DEVON: I made those peanut butter kiss cookies. Or do you want straight peanut butter ones too?

CODIE: Peanut butter kiss is perfect. I love you.

DEVON: I'm baking cookies. Do you have a type you want?

CODIE: 👀

MURPHY: you did tell me but...idk, i don't get the impression you've doomed us, is all. or that you've set anything in motion. but idk anything about tarot and i'm not a huge believer. maybe you should check in with val.

MURPHY: if it did come down to it, i'd find a way to save you both.

CODIE: I'm just.. thinking too much lately. It sucks.

Um, yes? The whole… kidnapping-rescue-mission-Nora thing? Why is there… something else? 

Right.. right, got it, yep. Sorry, I’m so.. all over the place. Probably just a remnant of hell flu. And my mind being on, uh, the fight the other day. 

MURPHY: yeah, after you were chased down. doesn't really count, if you ask me.

MURPHY: i'm lost. how would you have set things in motion?

MURPHY: you do realize the odds of it all coming down to you or april are slim to none, right?

CODIE: Sure.

CODIE: I told you about the tarot reading, right?

CODIE: I had a chance to change it by accepting my position or whatever. But there's so much going on and so much.. drama all the time.

UNSENT: And so much heartbreak.

MURPHY: you didn't come to a meeting, codie. it's important. if you don't want to talk about it with me, say so. but don't downplay it.

CODIE: I went. After a bit.

CODIE: I just.. have a bad feeling because of Valerie's vision. And that I may have already set things in motion.

[...]

MURPHY: i know, codie. you don't have to tell me.

MURPHY: stop letting it get to me? sounds a little hypocritical when i'm pretty sure the pressure of being leader got to you the other day. do you wanna talk about that?

It’s a good thing though, being motivated about that kind of thing. Oh, yeah. Sorry, um, I didn’t mean to pry or anything, not really my business… But I get that, needing a little time to decompress and all, especially with… y’know, everything.
