I'LL LOVE YOU 'TIL MY BREATHING STOPS

The straw covering the floor of the owlery muffled her footsteps as she made her way across the circular room, searching for the familiar tawny owl that she and Natalia had been gifted before they went to Hogwarts. ‘For whenever you need to talk,’ her mother had said at the time, but that seemed like a lifetime ago. It had only been a week or two since their letters had started going unanswered, but in this climate, Annette couldn’t help the worry that settled like lead in the pit of her stomach everytime Aphrodite failed to show up at breakfast with the morning post.

“Hi there, sweetie,” Annette cooed as Aphrodite swooped down to greet her, landing on the windowsill beside her. Her hand reached out to give the owl a few strokes, but Annette could not help her deepening frown as she confirmed what she’d already come to expect; there was once again no reply to her and her sister’s letter. “Nothing from Mama and Papa, again? Did you nip at them like I asked? —Are they all right?” Aphrodite, of course, was an owl and could not give her the reassurance she so desperately needed, instead inclining her head towards Annette’s outstretched hand in an attempt to receive more attention. “T—that’s okay, we’ll just—-we’ll try again tomorrow.” She drew in a shaky breath, blinking back tears as her mind spun in all the worst directions; but if something were wrong, truly wrong, someone would tell them, right? Auntie Fleur, or Grandma Molly, or—-

—a sound behind her caused her to whirl around with a gasp. Wiping quickly at her eyes, she tried to shake herself out of her own thoughts, “I—sorry, I didn’t hear anyone come in.”

“Maybe...maybe they’re just really, really busy...” she suggested feebly. “We're probably being over-dramatic. I mean, they could just be...taking a mini vacay. You know how much they love the Alps this time of year. Feb -- February’s really the best time to go...” But as much as she wanted so desperately to believe her own words, there was no conviction in her voice. They both knew that couldn’t be the case. Their parents had never failed to answer their letters promptly before, always making it clear that they were just an owl, text, or phone call away, and it had been nearly TWO WEEKS now. She checked the text messages she’d sent them every single day, simply looking for a read receipt -- that would be enough, just knowing that they were safe. But there was still nothing.

Unable to hold back her tears any longer, he buried her face in her hands, letting herself sob for several moments before her cries finally faded into whimpers.  “I -- I’m scared, Annie. God, what if -- what if something’s actually happened to them? What if they’re not...” she trailed off, not letting herself finish the thought.

With Firewhiskey on her breath and a bag swinging on her arm, Eliza made her way back to the dormitory, searching for Nat. Spotting her near her bed, she grinned, eyes glassy from the shots she had taken a few hours previously. “Nattie-Nat,” she called, her voice a sing-song as she slid down next to her. She pulled out a few sweets from her bag, the gift for her fellow Puff still nestled among the candies. She handed Natalia some of her haul, smile pulling at her lips, “Got our favorite. Gotta love post-V Day sales.” She nearly flinched after mentioning the holiday the previous day. Whatever was happening - whatever they were - was undefined and she really didn’t want to fuck it up by acting like her girlfriend when that wasn’t welcome. Pushing that thought aside, she kept the grin that pulled at her lips. “How’s your day been?”

But at the sudden sound of Eliza’s voice, she peered up, managing a thin smile. Just the sight of her best friend cheered her up a little. “Thank you,” she murmured, opening up a sugar quill but not putting it into her mouth just yet. “I bet you’ve been having a lot more fun than I have.” She stared at Eliza for a few moments, hesitating slightly before finally spitting out the question she’d been wondering all morning. “Can I ask you something? Do you -- do you think I’m just...unlovable? I just -- I keep thinking that there must be something wrong with me.” she whispered, her blue eyes prickling with tears before she finally broke her gaze, feeling as vulnerable as she had the previous night. “I -- sorry to ruin your high -- I shouldn’t have said -- it’s stupid.”

I’ll generate a number between 1-45 and my character will answer a love-related headcanon question (romantic and platonic present).

Or you can look below the cut and send a number of your choosing that you would like answered.

The mayhem was everything they’d wanted and more, Gemma’s mask hiding her smirk as chaos reigned around her. Spotting a familiar head of blonde hair, Gemma made her move, wishing Genie could be here for this. “Stupefy,” Natalia Delacour-Bardon dropped like a marionette whose strings had been cut, and Gemma quickly pulled her into an alcove, hands bound behind her back as she murmured, “ Rennervate.” She pulled back, hand flying forward to smack the other girl int he face as she woke, “Wakey wakey, half breed. It’s time to play a game—-are you excited?”

Hi, everyone! It’s Admin Sarah. As I mentioned in the chat, I decided to put together an ask meme designed purely for this roleplay! You’re not required to participate at all, but I thought it would be a fun, relaxed way for us to explore all of our characters. Please feel free to reblog this (and any other ask memes) if you’d like to join in! We don’t have designated meme-specific days – you can reblog ask memes whenever you’d like, and completed memes do count as activity. I’m just tagging this with #iidytask so it gets seen, but of course, there is no time table on completing these memes. Do whichever ask memes you’d like on your own schedule! If this ask meme goes over well, I’d definitely be willing to make more! (And if members have any suggestions or would like to make one of their own, please let me know!)

Send me numbers to find out more about my character! If I have a multi-muse blog, feel free to specify the character if you have a specific one in mind.
