Heavenly Light

Forgot a word in Spanish, while speaking Spanish to me, but remembered it in English. Became weirdly quiet as they seemed to lose their entire sense of identity.

Used a literal translation of a Russian idiomatic expression while speaking English. He actually does this quite regularly, because he somehow genuinely forgets which idioms belong to which language. It usually takes a minute of everyone staring at him in confused silence before he says “….Ah….. that must be a Russian one then….”

Had to count backwards for something. Could not count backwards in English. Counted backwards in French under her breath until she got to the number she needed, and then translated it into English.

Meant to inform her (French) parents that bread in America is baked with a lot of preservatives. Her brain was still halfway in English Mode so she used the word “préservatifes.” Ended up shocking her parents with the knowledge that apparently, bread in America is full of condoms.

Defined a slang term for me……. with another slang term. In the same language. Which I do not speak.

Was talking to both me and his mother in English when his mother had to revert to Russian to ask him a question about a word. He said “I don’t know” and turned to me and asked “Is there an English equivalent for Нумизматический?” and it took him a solid minute to realize there was no way I would be able to answer that. Meanwhile his mom quietly chuckled behind his back.

Said an expression in English but with Spanish grammar, which turned “How stressful!” into “What stressing!”

❝  We’re all hiding something, aren’t we? From the moment we wake, look in that mirror, all we do is spin our little lies. Suck in that gut, color that hair, twist off that wedding ring. Any why not? What’s the penalty? What are the consequences, really? “I’m only human,” you say, and all is forgiven. But what if some cruel twist of fate makes you something else, something other? Who forgives you then? Every human spends a night or two on the dark side and regrets it. But what if you only exist on the dark side? We just want the same things that you do: a chance at life, at love. We’re not so different in that way. And so we try and sometimes fail. But when you’re something other, a monster, the consequences are worse. Much worse. You wake up from your nightmares. We don’t. ❞

PLOT — Three unlikely friends, of supernatural origin, make the decision to move in together in hopes of living some semblance of a normal life.  After weeks of searching for something in their combined price range, they find a townhouse that’s almost too good to be true. Without much hesitation, they sign a year long lease and begin moving in. But a few days go by, and then they realize their house is already occupied by the ghost of its previous tenant who died of mysterious causes. At first, they attempt to get the ghost to “move on”, but eventually they begin to settle in and befriend their new, albeit deceased, roommate. 

Tasha ( @uvcelestial ) and I are looking for two others to join us in a small group roleplay inspired by the TV Show(s) Being Human about three (and later four) supernatural roommates. Below the cut, you will find the character descriptions. If you’re interested in one of the open characters feel free to message me!!!
