August 27, 2021 – side chat/RP with Bex - Lucifer's debut

Previous


BEX

Draven is old fashioned and wanted a son. he was raised, to think women were less...by his father.

 

SIGYN

oh, okay a family of cunts

 

BEX

pretty much lol lol

 

TRENT: 

seconded

 

FREYA:

 I am not a cunt... (says with a growl) 

I am nothing like my father

 

Angel

"Oh no, you're definitely a cunt"

 

CIN

Shh, we're not supposed to know that yet.

 

PENRYN

Also, why the hell are you taking that personally? It’s pretty clear from context we meant YOUR DAD, not YOU. If you're not like your dad, then what the hell are you worried about?


CIN

The cunt doth protest too much.


TRENT:

 No, no, not you. Catherine and I come from a bad father, too. He denied her a right to higher education because she's a girl

 

NATE: 

FUCK the new guy. Apparently, Trent is a dormant hyperempath who knows emotional projection and sex magic. ASK ME HOW I KNOW.

 

TRENT: (┛◉Д)┻━┻

 

NATE: 

THEY HAVE BEEN SPARRING SINCE THE WEE HOURS. WE WOKE UP WITH OUR STUFFED RABBIT AT THE FOOT OF THE BED. IT BELONGS IN THE CUDDLE ZONE, NOT THE FEET ZONE.

 

TRENT: 

I have to do SOMETHING; the only Latin I know roughly translates to "your fly is open".

 

NATE: 

IT LOOKS LIKE A NUCLEAR WASTELAND IN HERE

 

REBECCA: 

Wait...what? Trent's a what? 

*rubs her eyes*

 

GEORGE: 

Ummmm... Coffee....too early....

 

SIGYN

okay Musebecca, so, you know how Trent knows your inner thought life well enough to replicate your fantasy song and dance sequences and occasionally even intuit/amplify/dim your and Nate's thoughts and feelings in real-time? Part of that is because he's an intensive stalker and part of it is hyperempathy , which is technically a form of magic but usually passed off as strong intuition. Technically sex magic is also a part of that, though he never actually used it on you. He has the ability to project feelings into other people, like say, if he jacks off to someone while empathy is active, he can basically force them to become attracted to him.

 

REBECCA: 

ohhhhhhhh...... George is right...coffee! dear god...

 

TRENT: 

Before either you or George ask, I didn't use it on Nate, either. And I don't have to be masturbating directly to/at someone; just playing sex games or even having high sexual energy in their presence is APPARENTLY enough.

 

REBECCA: 

Well, that's good to know you didn't to Nate...but still....how the heck did you figure this out! Wait....when Nate says sparring?

 

NATE: 

THESE TWO are duking it out for the right to dominate the headspace

 

TRENT:

In my defense, he tried to kill me.

 

BLACKWOOD: 

So dramatic... I merely wished to test your mettle, to see if you are worthy to stand in my presence.


Angel

"SWORD FIGHT!" 😂

 

Butch

"My brain went there too" 

 

REBECCA: 

You did…WHAT! (she growled out at the newcomer)

I don't care what magic you think you know, hurt my Beloved in any way and not even your.... Dark Lord...will save you!

 

NATE: 

we hate this guy.

 

FREYA: 

Well, learn to live with each other...cause I love him. 


PENRYN

No, you know what, you can shut the fuck up and cope because the others were here first.


FREYA looks at Faustus

And please, try to get along with them. No more life attempts. We must play nice...all of us...

 

NATE: (┛◉Д)┻━┻

 

REBECCA: 

what is it with you...males? It isn't a 'my dick is bigger than yours' contest.


Angel

"YES ACTUALLY HOW'D YOU KNOW!"

 

CIN

Ew, you MALES! Ugh! Males and their PENILE MAN-NESS!

 

GEORGE snorts in laughter and almost spits out his coffee

 

TRENT: 

I won.

 

NATE: 

wow I just realized we did a cake tasting in our briefs and no one noticed.

 

TRENT: 

The pastry chef is a student; I'm sure he's seen more shocking things in his dorm

 

BLACKWOOD: 

You... met with others, without being at your utmost respectability in self-presentation?


Butch

"You've never just been butt ass naked on your neighbors front porch? What's wrong with you?"

 

POST-EDIT FAUS MAUS

Perhaps it’s the baseball bat Désmoda lodged up my arse.

 

DÉSMODA

Hey, you agreed to the dare!

 

POST-EDIT FAUS MAUS

Yes, well, I’m no chicken, I’ll have you know!

 

NATE: 

yeah, well earlier in this story I also ran to a park in my bathrobe.

 

FREYA: 

See? Mortals....all of them odd...but I like them.


Butch

"Isn't this dumb bitch like a witch or some shit?"

 

CIN

She is, but in her canon, witches are immortal.

 

PENRYN

Until they're killed.

 

TOKIOMI

People DIE if they are killed! 😮

 

BEX

I do plan to eventually have Draven 'kidnap' Freya away from Faustus, and the school and bring her home for 'reeducation'. see how Faustus reacts to that eventuality....to the point that it nearly kills her...because she disobeyed her father... The man is really quite sick, Draven

 

Z-Dog

"oOoOO another kidnapping plot"

 

AKUMA, helpfully

In my canon, we call that a non-plot, because all it does is cause cheap angst and drama!


TRENT: 

Murder him.

 

NATE: 

That's not the answer to every problem!


Butch

"But it could be!" 

 

TRENT: 

You can't blackmail the shameless. Mur 👏der👏 him👏

 

FREYA: 

But...he's my father.... (says softly) 

I DO hate him...but murder? Let the Dark Lord kill him! that will be sweeter!


Butch

 "Nah, I ain't jokin when I say watchin mine bleedin out after I shot him felt like fuckin ejaculation"

 

Z-Dog

"But that's you!"

 

Butch

"Bitch shut up!"

 

Angel

"Man, y'all are fucked up killen family is some fucked up shit. But yeah sounds like a pussy move given him to someone else to kill. Fuckin bitches I swear" 

 

BLACKWOOD: 

Yes, a sacrifice.

 

BEX

Ohhh don't worry loves...Draven will get his, I assure you... 

*chuckles darkly*

 

TRENT: 

Why should it matter if he's your father? I mean,—

*looks at Cat, then clams up*

 

CAT catches the hidden meaning and her eyes furrow, but she says nothing

 

NATE: 

Yeah, well, at least none of you have to share a name with your father. Ugh.

 

FREYA: 

You can always change it...or take a nickname.

 

TRENT, possessively

 He has a nickname.

 

FREYA: 

I mean a nickname all can use...


Z-Dog

"Who the fuck cares?"

 

CIN

Dude, it's not like it was trademarked. You can STILL use it. 

 

TRENT: . . .

 

GEORGE: 

She's got a point Trent...I can't see Rebecca calling Nate "little Bug".

 

BLACKWOOD: 

how about "cretin"?

 

TRENT: 

No.

 

FREYA: 

Father!

She almost slipped up and called him Faustus again.

 

TRENT: 

Technically "Nate" is also a nickname.

 

FREYA: 

True...

 

NATE: 

That's an interesting accent. Where are you from? I'm not sure I've ever heard it pronounced "Fau-ther" before.

 

BLACKWOOD clears his throat lightly and averts his eyes

 

FREYA scowls at the mortal

 It's fairly common....where I am from. (she bit back, noting Faustus's reaction)

😛

 

TRENT smirks

You're among friends. It's okay if you want to just call him Daddy.

 

NATE: 

TRENT!

 

FREYA: 

I want no such thing! 

*crosses her arms with a small huff*

 

GEORGE: 

She's protesting too much again...

 

FREYA: 

Oh, shut up!

 

REBECCA giggles

See? That right there, means yes...yes, she does...

 

NATE:

 Is that how I sounded when I kept insisting I didn't like Trent?

 

REBECCA, CAT, and GEORGE: 

YES

 

NATE:  o///////o

 

BLACKWOOD: 

Are all mortals this rowdy and unseemly?

 

TRENT: 

Oh no, Daddy, only the fun ones.

 

BLACKWOOD: 

Desist calling me that at once.

 

REBECCA: 

Nope...sometimes they are worse.

*snorts*

 

GEORGE laughs

Is...is he blushing!?

 

FREYA: 

Don't you dare...no one calls him that but me! 

*blushes*

 

CAT: 

Ha! See! Told you...

 

TRENT: 

I thought you said you didn't call him that 😉

 

FREYA:

 I DON'T! (she stuttered) 

I mean...not yet...I would never...

 

TRENT: 

Which is it? Is it not yet, or never?

 

NATE:

 Forgive Trent. Ever since he figured out how flirting works, he's been insufferable.

 

FREYA: 

I don't have to answer to you! 

*looks at Nate and snorts* 

Mortals...


Z-Dog

"Her persistent use of mortal makes me want to strangle her to death"

 

PENRYN

Agreed. She’s not special because she’s a ✨witch✨

 

CIN

From Sparklypoo House.

 

PENRYN

Okay, IHOP.

 

CIN

Hey, IHOP won the House Cup! Don’t hate.

 

TRENT: 

True, you don't... But it might interest you to know that, in our battle of wills this morning, at one point I had dear Daddy Blackwood on his knees 😏

 

REBECCA blinks

You had what...Trent? On his knees? Doing what?! How!

 

FREYA: 

YOU WHAT!

 

TRENT: 

okay, AGAIN, he tried to KILL ME—

 

BLACKWOOD: 

Incorrect; I simply wished to test your worth—

 

TRENT:

 —so I used the only magic I know to... Subdue him.

 

NATE: -_-

 

REBECCA: 

Oh, for fuck’s sakes! 

*snickers*

 

FREYA: 

I do not want my High priest in love with YOU!

*glares at the mortal*

 

GEORGE: 

Wow...

 

CAT: 

yea...what he said...

 

TRENT: 

Ew, what? No, he's not in love with me. I just made him want to do certain things. Temporarily. And I didn't let him touch me.

 

FREYA: *if looks could kill, Trent would be dead!*

 TRENT: *a smile that exudes innocence and sweetness*

 

FREYA: 

Don't give me that look! You aren't sweet nor innocent!

 

NATE: 

Can you not make the witch jealous?

 

TRENT: 

I'm not responsible for her emotions.


Z-Dog

"Yeah, she's gonna do that by herself" 

 

NATE, teasingly

 Yeah, well, you heard the lady. Stay away from "her" High Priest 😉

 

FREYA felt the faint crackling of electricity through her body and sparks lit from her fingers for a moment before she remembered herself

DAMN RIGHT!

 

Butch

"Holy fuckin SHIT just pissed my pants! Oh wait never mind, that's just beer"

 

POST-EDIT RENA

That’s a shame 😉  


REBECCA snickers again

Ohhhh....someone’s getting testy... Trent...please, don't push the witch babe.

 

CAT: 

YEA! She's a LOT stronger than she looks...


Z-Dog

"Shut up lamb chop!!" 

 

GEORGE: 

Can you NOT!

 

A light, red-white glow begins to emanate from TRENT before he pulls it back, his smile turning to a smirk of defiance.


TRENT

 Believe me, little bug, I have no interest in her priest.

 

REBECCA: 

Let’s not let this evolve into a battle of will between you two...KAY!

 

GEORGE: 

If this turns into a shit storm, I am ducking! No one's turning me into a frog!

 

BLACKWOOD: 

Oh, but it would be such an improvement.

 

NATE: 

Watch it.

 

CAT: 

HEY! You be nice to George.

 

BLACKWOOD's eyes slide from George, to Nathaniel, to Catherine, then look away disinterestedly

 

REBECCA: 

well...this has been fun!

 

NATE cradles George protectively

Are you okay?

 

GEORGE curls up into Nate's embrace and nods

I am now...

 

NATE: 

Good. Let's all take it down a notch.

 

FREYA goes to take up a seat nearby and slightly out of the way

 

TRENT: 

May I remind you that I only use my ability in defense? It's not my fault if others can't control their temper.

 

REBECCA: 

Yea, considering we all live in our Admins heads, let’s not give them a headache, kay? 

*giggles*

 

CAT: 

Seconded...I like our stories...

 

FREYA: 

Temper? Oh, you think that's a temper?

 *chuckles* 

You should see my fathers...


Z-Dog

"Insert eye roll here...." 

 

TRENT:

 Genuine question: Which one?

 

FREYA frowns and then smirks

Touché' 

*turns away*

 

REBECCA: 

I think she meant her biological one babe...she doesn't seem scared of the High Priest.

 

TRENT: 

My dad had a bad temper too.

 

NATE: 

Mine has one, also.

 

TRENT: 

Do you want me to give him a heart attack?

 

NATE: 

omg Trent, you can't just openly offer to kill people!

 

TRENT: 

You said to be nice! I'm being nice!

 

CAT: 

The way you talk, you make it sound like—— 

Her eyes went wide as it finally clicked.

 

NATE:

 ...oops

 

CAT: 

You KNEW!

 

TRENT: 

To be fair, okay, the first heart attack was genuine.

 

NATE, sheepishly

he told me on the phone before I passed out in the tub

 

CAT is slightly upset

No one told me...wait...does YOUR mom know?

 

TRENT: 

I didn't tell her. but seriously, New Girl, I still have the syringe. You just fill it with air, stick him with it, and—

 

NATE: 

TRENT! Seriously?

 

TRENT: 

Oh, come on! It would be ignominious as hell and a fitting end.

 

NATE:

 Not that! You KEPT the weapon?!

 

TRENT: 

Yeah, I was waiting to stop by Glendale General again so I could dispose of it in THEIR sharps container. you can't leave a syringe from a California hospital in an Iowa one. Everyone knows that.

 

FREYA: 

You would use such ends to end those you know? 

She snorts and shakes her head.

 All I would have to do is ask the Dark Lord and he would drag his body down to the worst realm in hell...

 

TRENT:

 why ask for favors when you can take matters into your own hands?

 

(admins discuss Lucifer from Netflix’s Lucifer; agree he is hot)


LUCIFER: 

Thank you 😀

 

FREYA: 

Because to kill, strangely enough, for personal gains makes you lose sight in our Dark Lord's eyes...

 

Z-Dog

"That fucking makes NO SENSE! But he'll do it FOR you? Shut your dumb bitch ass up!"

 

PENRYN

Yeah, or please support your claim with evidence from canon.


NATE: 

oh, GREAT ANOTHER ONE

 

TRENT: 

That is dumb.

 

FREYA: 

Who is this imposter!

 

LUCIFER: 

Lucifer Morningstar

 

FREYA: 

The hell you are! 

*tilts head and blinks*

 You are not our Dark Lord...

 

REBECCA:

 Oh gods...here we go again. Why can't we spend a normal day together? (teases) 

😛

 

LUCIFER: 

Dear me, more deranged cultists...

 

BLACKWOOD and LUCIFER eye each other with deepest distaste

 

TRENT whispers to Nathaniel 

Are they going to...?

 

NATE:

 God, I hope so

 

FREYA watches Faustus and her eyes narrow at Lucifer

 

REBECCA: 

Please don't! Not here!

 

GEORGE: 

YEA! This is our home! WRITE IT OUT YOU HEATHENS!!

 

TRENT: 

"oops.” “sorry”

 

REBECCA: 

What on earth are YOU thinking? 

*giggles*

 

TRENT: 🙃

 

NATE: 

Horny Angry Tango: the Remix

 

REBECCA: 

Ok seriously...Do I have to put those two males in a corner!


Butch

"Bitch yo dumb ass couldn't put the humans in this room in a corner! But you out here thinkin yur gonna be putting a fucking witchy wizard cultist thing and a demonic angel majigger in any corners!!!!!! Is you retarded?!"

 

Z-Dog

"Wait for it, she'll pick them both up and spank them...."

 

POST-EDIT RENA

In her canon, she got a near-perfect score on her SATs, so as Désmoda said about Troy, she's book-smart but people-dumb.

 

CIN

I'm not sure fanfic Rebecca can spell SAT.


PENRYN

Weird thing for me, specifically, to nitpick, but they're not "males", they're MEN. Just like the humans in the room aren't "mortals", they're PEOPLE.

 

CAT: 

I would pay money to see you do that!

 

NATE: 

Cage fight between an angel and a warlock...hmmm ...

 

FREYA: 

NO!

She doesn't have to shout; her stance says enough.

 

REBECCA: 

Please...for the last time, do NOT rile the witch!

 

TRENT: 

Mud wrestling?

 

NATE: 

no, Jell-O wrestling

 

TRENT: 

Spiked Jell-O?

 

FREYA's eyebrow raises before she can stop herself

 

LUCIFER: 

As long as it's not top-shelf

 

FREYA: 

I beg your pardon...?

 

REBECCA bursts into hysterics, and notices Freya's look

I can see it now...she'd want to lick every inch of you clean Priest...

 

FREYA blushes deeply and turns away

 

TRENT: 

I see Catherine's point... I too would pay to see these elegantly dressed men debase themselves, and each other, in such a way...

 

CAT: 

HEY! WHOA! I meant in the corner...a simple time out...like children....

 

LUCIFER: 

Really? We should get tickets in order, then. Perhaps I can buy Chloe something lovely with my cut.

 

BLACKWOOD is conspicuously silent

 Everyone seems to be waiting on what Faustus will say to all this.

 

FREYA: 

This is insufferable!

 

REBECCA: 

No, it’s funny!

 

GEORGE: 

I'd pay!

 

CAT: 

You guys are all NUTs! that is not what I meant!

 

BLACKWOOD: 

This is, without a doubt, the most degrading thing I have ever heard of.

...

...

...

Count me in.

 

FREYA's jaw drops in shock and her eyes go wide. Twas not the answer she had been expecting

 REBECCA, GEORGE, and even CAT all laugh at the poor witch’s reaction and end up a heap on the floor

 BLACKWOOD had caught Freya's reaction to the idea of licking Jell-O off him; had not entirely disapproved; and schools could always use more funding

 FREYA notices the look Faustus gives her and blushes deeper, biting her lip, she looks away...anywhere but at him! To look would be to give her thoughts away.

 

CAT: 

Now she's blushing! You two really ought to just shag and get it over with... really.


Angel

"Seriously.... I love drama and this is getting annoying"

 

PENRYN

I’m not supporting this, because it’s really just Bex wanting to watch Faustus and Freya fuck so she can schlick to it.

 

LUCIFER: 

Awfully bold of you to assume they haven't

 

FREYA: 

We haven't! (she snaps back) 

How dare you assume I would do something so....so....

 

REBECCA: 

Pleasurable?

 

GEORGE: 

Desirable?

 

CAT: 

Wanted?

 

FREYA: 

You are all crazy! 

But hasn't denied that she doesn't want to, which is plain as saying as yes please!

 

TRENT: 

🎵They say love makes you crazy🎵

 

NATE: 

🎵therefore we can't call her crazy🎵

 

REBECCA: 

So, wait...are you telling me, and EVERYONE here now…that if Faustus, one day...asked you to...well...be his...you'd say no?

 

FREYA blushes the deepest she has ever blushed before and bites her lip

 

REBECCA: 

Uh huh...that's what I thought.

 

BLACKWOOD: 

That is NONE of any of your concern.

 

LUCIFER and TRENT exchange a smirk

 

REBECCA: 

call us crazy... 

*smirks and shakes her head* 

Look at yourself, you can't even say it to the man you love...

 

GEORGE and CAT clears throat

 

REBECCA: 

Ok, so it took ME years to finally say it to Trent, but at least I said it.

 

FREYA: 

Saying something like that, just to say it holds no weight....I will do so, when the time is right, and I ab sure my affections will be returned in same. Not before....

 

GEORGE: 

Still love him though...we all see it.

 

CAT:

 Yep, pretty much stuck with us ragging on you till you two burst. 

*giggles*


NATE: 

she admitted she has affections! LAWYERED

 

FREYA scowls

 Why must you humans turn my words around...?


PENRYN

And what species are you, pray tell?

 

GEORGE: 

She did! She said she had affections...can't take it back now!

 

FREYA: 

That isn—

She stopped, knowing to say such would be a lie.

Fine! Have at me...doesn't change my mind in the slightest.

 

TRENT: 

about being 🎵just a girl in looove 🎵?

 

LUCIFER accompanies on piano

 

REBECCA: 

Why you hold back, Hun? It's so clear...

 

FREYA: 

Cause he's my HIGH PRIEST!! (she shouts this time, frustration welling behind her words.) 

And my teacher...have you ANY idea what would happen?!


Angel over-dramatically

"Oh the DRAMA!!! Why must I LOVE what CAN NEVER be MINE!!!"

 

PENRYN

Watch her get pissy if it’s even hinted at that Faustus really can’t be hers.

 

KENNY

Spoiler alert.

 

GEORGE goes silent


PENRYN

Good. He was being OOC anyway.

 

CAT: 

No....why does that matter?

 

FREYA: 

Because...he might not be punished for it, but I would be! 

She froze and took a few steps back.

I mean...I...I...

 

REBECCA: 

Uh oh....she's gonna panic....

 

BLACKWOOD: 

This is why what happens behind closed doors, stays behind closed doors, not to be paraded around for others' entertainment.

 

TRENT mentally shifts into a grounding stance

Freya... it's okay. If nothing has happened between you, then you aren't being punished for anything.

 

FREYA takes a few settling breaths and sighs

 it's not right when your life isn’t your own...(she says softly) 

the only place I feel safe...is at the Academy.

 

NATE: 

My apologies.

 

TRENT: 

We misjudged you. This isn't about... bedroom things. He keeps you safe and protects you.

 *sneaks a glance at Nate* 

He makes you feel like you could have a life other than what's expected of you, right?

 

FREYA thought about her answer for a moment and then nods

The only safe place I have ever felt, in the entirety of my life, is in the Academy. My father is second in line, for power, only UNDER the High Priest, and yet, he blurs those lines time and time again. His will be done, regardless of where we are or who runs the school...or so has been my experience. 

She sighs softly.

I am beginning to hope, however futile it may be, that this time...things will be different....

 

TRENT: 

Well, my offer stands. It isn't killing for selfish reasons if you're doing it to protect someone else, is it.

 

FREYA's eyes furrow slightly

Thank you, but I would rather let our Dark Lord handle it. And he will...all in due time. 

Her faith in that was unshakeable.

 

NATE, a bit huffy

Good. I don't want Trent using his newfound "abilities" even if it is just to defend himself or make it easier to get rid of a problem.

 

REBECCA: 

I completely agree!

 

TRENT: 

I did what had to be done. 

*folds arms*

 

REBECCA: 

I am not condemning you for it, Love. (says softly and kisses him)

 

TRENT sniffles and kisses back

 

NATE: 

... The jury's still out on whether I am.

 

REBECCA: 

Nate...hush... (she said softly, but firmly.)

 Remember what we talked about, about thinking…? 

She winked at him.

 

NATE:

 . . . I suppose he did save us from a hostile takeover. But still. I don't like the idea of him making others lust after him, even if he doesn't give them what he makes them want. He's loved you forever and you and I used to date, or whatever you call it, so I don't mind that so much, but others....

 

REBECCA: 

yea, I totally agree there! Freya is 'in charge' of her Priest, and I have no idea where this Lucifer guy came from but no playing with him either. :P

 

LUCIFER: 

Actually, that's a funny story—

 

NATE: 

Thank you, Rebecca. 

*Pouts lightly*

 

BLACKWOOD looks rather ruffled at the idea that a young girl, or anyone other than the Dark Lord, is "in charge" of him

Hmph.

 

TRENT:

 I don't know how many times I have to say this, but I'm not interested in the priest. And I have no intention of "playing with" Lucifer either. Not just because I'm pretty sure he could rebound my own magic against me.

 

REBECCA: 

You are welcome, Nate. 

She winks playfully and chuckles.

Oh come now love...we are only teasing....sorta.

 

FREYA blinks and catches Faustus's look and blushes yet again

That's not...oh whatever, it is an interesting idea, but I don't think the High Priest would ever allow such a thing.

 

GEORGE: 

He's a Dom, is he? Looks more like a Switch to me.

 

CAT bursts out laughing

 

TRENT:

He... is either a sub or a switch, and that's all I'm going to say

 

FREYA: 

Sub? Switch? 

She blinked.

Ohhhhh! 

Now she really wanted to find out.

I am pretty sure he's not a sub...

 

Z-dog

"Because if he is that would ruin my fap fest"

 

CIN

He's CANONICALLY into both punishing AND being punished. See also, his relationship with Zelda.

 

AKUMA

You're mentioning a dirty nasty OTHER WOMAN who ISN'T FREYA! Cin, what's WRONG WITH YOU? *makes distressed arms flailing *


REBECCA snorts so as not to laugh

Interesting topic of conversation...dare I ask HOW you know that love?

 

GEORGE: 

Yea...just what did you do to the man?

 

TRENT: 

I simply used my abilities to...bring him to his knees. And didn't let him touch me. Even when he begged.

( )

 

NATE: ( )

 

FREYA: 

He...What!? 

*looks over at Faustus and then at Trent*

 Can you teach me that? (she whispered conspiratorially)

 

REBECCA: 

Honey, you have a power all your own...trust in your gifts, and men will fall at your feet...

 

FREYA: 

But I don't want men...I want ONE man...

 

REBECCA: 

Then focus said gifts on him...simple.

 

FREYA: 

Isn't that like...bewitching? That's not true then though.

 

CAT: 

It IS if you do it right...and no, no magic involved Hun.

 

TRENT: 

I'm not completely sure how it works, either, the magical aspect. He attacked me and I retaliated without thinking. And then I had time to think, so I intensified it.

 

BLACKWOOD: 

You don't need all that faffle, Miss Hawthorne. You... are perfect, as you are. A perfectly fine student, I should say.

 

All looked over at Faustus as one and were silent a moment

 

REBECCA: 

See? Told you. 

She winked at Freya.

 

FREYA:

 You...you think I am perfect? (she asked with a hint of a smile, just barely a hint)

 

GEORGE: 

Daww...that slip up was cute. We won't tell.

 

BLACKWOOD, loftily 

I see no need to repeat myself.

 

FREYA grins brightly and giggles softly to herself 

I think you are perfect to, Father Blackwood.

 

REBECCA: 

And so, it begins! Yay!

 

GEORGE: 

about damn time...

 

CAT: 

Least here anyway....

 

TRENT: ʕ´• ᴥ•̥`ʔ

 

REBECCA: 

You are such a bear...I love you! 

*kisses him deeply*

 

NATE:  ۝  

I don't have a cute animal on the list.

 

REBECCA: 

Looks like an elephant

 

TRENT: (*❛‿❛)→🐛

 

NATE: 

no, I was just crying

 

REBECCA snickers

 

FREYA: 

why do you call him that? (asks curious)

 little bug?

 

TRENT: 

I heard George yelling "NAT!" when he was looking for him, and a gnat is a little bug, so... but he's much cuter and— now at least— Less annoying

 

FREYA: 

ohhh...that makes sense. 

She chuckled.

it's cute.

 

TRENT excited closed-mouth dimpled smile

 FREYA's eyes flit to Faustus and back, giggling softly to herself

 

CAT: 

what are you thinking? 

*smiles*

 

FREYA: 

nothing.... 

*grins, wondering up nicknames silently*

 

TRENT has a few "creative" ideas but says nothing

 

REBECCA: 

tell me later love...I know that look.

 

FREYA's eyes narrow but says nothing

 

TRENT: 

Oh, I've already said it

 

REBECCA blinks

I don't remember....

 

BLACKWOOD: 

. . . Good, because I requested he desist.

 

NATE: 

Father Brah likes being called Daddy.

...

during poker.

 

TRENT: 

Everyone who has access to the Whitefeather surveillance feeds knows that.

 

REBECCA: 

ohhh...right...duh

 

BLACKWOOD: 

"Brah" is a ridiculous name for a priest, even of the False God.

 

TRENT: 

Oh, his name is Joseph. Josh Chan shortened it to Broseph and then Brah.

 

BLACKWOOD stares at Trent like he's an alien

 

CAT: 

like I say...men are weird. 

*giggles*


Z-Dog

"TEHE MEN!"


ANGEL

"I am for real getting a headache. This is worse then those fuckin Spanish soap operas my mom used to watch"

  

ORION

Maybe we are weird, but at least Nate and Faustus want to fuck us.


PIFFY

People are weird. There are only weird people and closeted weird people.


TRENT (to REBECCA):

 Out of all the random— and by "random", I mean "not me"— men you slept with, the one from Echo Park Tacos was probably my favorite.

 

REBECCA: 

really?

 

NATE: 

Trent... Do you have a thing for blond men?

 

TRENT: 

Let's recap. 

  • Josh- manchild. 
  • Professor Donnelly- married. 
  • A capella guy from Brown- unremarkable in face or voice. 
  • Musical director- douchebag. 
  • Greg- bitter, annoying, and thinks giving you a UTI was a good thing. 
  • Nathaniel- hate-sex dynamic was working for you for a while, but then you started screwing unironically and it was weird.

 

NATE: 

Hey!

 

TRENT: 

Because of Mona.

 

NATE: 

oh.

 

TRENT: 

Xander from Echo Park at least makes good guacamole, and yes, I do like his hair, though that may be Admin's influence. And he seemed to genuinely want to connect with you afterwards.

 

Sigyn cues up “Santa Ana Winds”

 

SIGYN

HAHA GOOD TIMES

 

NATE: 

sadistic bitch TT_TT

 

SIGYN

yep, sure am!

 

LUCIFER: 

I believe I have a man crush on the Santa Ana Winds.

 

NATE: 

you're not jealous of Man-bun but you were jealous of Daddy Edgelord. Wow.

 

TRENT: 

I said he was my favorite rando, not that I wasn't jealous.

 

REBECCA: 

wait...wait...what?

 

GEORGE: 

my head hurts...

 

CAT: 

join the crowd.


Angel

"No shit, you guys too? Funny tho because I'm pretty sure Freya is on your hive minded side and started this WHOLE thing to fap to Faustus. On that note, way to go Trent!" 


TRENT: 

I just don't think anyone's good enough for you except us.

 

REBECCA: 

us? 

She blinked.

you mean...you...right?

 

FREYA: 

who is in denial now...

 

TRENT: 

... Me is, in fact, one person I mean. Hey George, did you have a thing for Nate even back when he kept firing and rehiring you?

 

GEORGE looks up, not expected to be pulled into this conversation

Yes....

 

TRENT: 

Good to know your degradation kink goes both ways 😏

 

NATE: 

Hey! Stop watching us!

 

GEORGE: 

HEY!

 

REBECCA: 

TRENT!

 

FREYA: 

I don't understand you at all...

 

TRENT: 

Whaaaat?

 

REBECCA: 

Do I have to call Bash for you again!?

 

FREYA: 

Who is Bash?

 

GEORGE and CAT: 

Don't ask!

 

TRENT: 

He's my lawyer and one of my best friends. Nate's my other best friend 🥰

 

NATE: 

and by "best", he means "only".

 

BLACKWOOD: 

This information is not a revelation.

 

REBECCA: 

Hey now! Don't you be snotty either!

 

FREYA: 

Faustus! play nice! 

She frowns up at him, but secretly winks.

 

Butch

"OH my GAWD do all these damn women fuckin NAG!?"

 

CIN

Yes. Next question?

 

Angel

"Glad we never had the honor"

 

Butch

"Nah, your buddy did tho. Tell him my condolences"

 

Angel

"Will do" 


BLACKWOOD gives a subtle smile at Freya.

 

TRENT: 

Rebecca, I've watched you with everyone you've been with since you arrived in West Covina, oh and also Heather's vibrator. It's a little weird that you didn't just buy your own, I mean, it's not like you couldn't afford to. Unless...?

 

NATE: 

If you're implying that I underpay her, I don't.

 

TRENT: 

Anyway, so how is it weird that I watched Nathaniel and George too? And Nathaniel and Mona? oh and Nathaniel and Maya that time they got really drunk and—

 

NATE: 

That didn't happen!

 

TRENT: 

you're right I'm just messing with you

 

REBECCA: 

You....What?! 

She hadn't known all that.

Trent! You bugged every place I ever went to! You can't do that...it's Illegal!


PENRYN

Come off it. You did so much illegal shit in your own canon.

 

FREYA: 

Yep, sounds just like my dad...only...different. Which is weird, cause I like Trent...

 

GEORGE blinks and shakes his head 

Why aren't those cameras gone yet? You said you would take them down....

 

TRENT: 

Um, you put out a hit on Nate's ex-girlfriend, planted a tracker on me, and were complicit with breaking and entering into my sanctuary, aka my storage unit. So clearly, even though it's illegal, yes, I can. And, George, I said I would ask Sebastian to take them down. He hasn't gotten around to it yet.

 

REBECCA: 

Wow...we are voicing a lot of anger today it seems. What did I do?


PENRYN

Why would you think he was angry? Guilty conscience much?

 

FREYA: 

This just got interesting....

 

TRENT: 

Honey, no one is angry with you. I'm just pointing out that just because something is illegal doesn't mean we can't do it.


Butch

"PREACH!!" 

 

REBECCA:

 I know what I did, Trent...again, no one has to remind me. 

*huffs softly*


PENRYN

> What did I do?

> I know what I did, no-one has to remind me

 

AKUMA

Trent, how dare you. You should know better than to bring up canon! It's in the PAST!


GEORGE: 

Please have him hurry soon. No offence....

 

REBECCA: 

Because something is illegal means we shouldn't do it. but yada yada yada...we both did it anyway. I know...

 

FREYA looks around 

Are they always like that?

 

CAT:

Yes... 

*smirks*

 

TRENT: 

Babygirl, I'm not judging you. I think you're very creative and resourceful, and I admire that about you. I just feel like you're judging me every time you bring up that something I'm doing is illegal, and...

 

NATE: 

Uh, yes offense. If he doesn't take them out by the end of the week, I'm going to call him and see what the holdup is

 

REBECCA:

 I don't mean it to sound that way...honest. Again...trying....My words are not always my best...

 

GEORGE looks at Nate

I know that sillies, I don't like the idea of him watching us either but didn't want to openly say so.... 

He remembers that Nate seemed to like Trent watching at one point and didn't want to voice it.

 

NATE: 

Yeah well, he told me to stop masturbating in front of him, but he's got my entire house bugged, so I have nowhere to take care of that.

 

TRENT: 

Actually, I wouldn't call— I mean, I wouldn't recommend you call. Because you're not his client.

 -/////-

 

NATE: 

. . . Trent.

 

TRENT: 

...

 

NATE: 

When exactly did you call Sebastian to have him take out the bugs?

 

TRENT: 

...

 

REBECCA: 

You haven't done it yet? Oh, good grief... 

*shakes head*

 

FREYA: 

If anyone ever bugged me, I would be horrified...why on earth would someone do that? 

*tilts head, more curious then condescending* 

Mortals have weird customs...

 

CAT: 

Ohhh. Trust me Hun. It's not a custom... 

*laughs*

 

TRENT: 

I—I meant to! it just slipped my mind

 

ALL (Bex-side)

Sure...

 

FREYA: 

I have no say in this...it's all too weird for me.


PENRYN

Then shut the fuck up.

 

TRENT: 

What's so horrifying about it? I just like having good intel.

 

NATE: 

Trenty, you blackmail people as easily as most people breathe. It's a little off-putting.


Z-Dog

"Sooo... Now it's an everybody judge Trent fest?" 

 

TRENT pouts

Only in emergencies.

 

REBECCA's eyes went to Nate at the use of the nickname, and they narrowed slightly, before she remembered herself

 

FREYA: 

ohhh...kitten does have claws. 

She had seen.

 

REBECCA: 

No idea what you mean.

 

FREYA: 

Right...

 

TRENT: 

My kitten 🥰

 

NATE: 

Sorry, what's going on...?

 

BLACKWOOD: 

It would seem as though your friend's wife objects to your use of a familiar nickname for her husband.

 

NATE: 

Why? He has a nickname for me.

 

REBECCA: 

Because that particular nickname is mine, Nate. (she said with a smile, managing a chuckle)

Or...part of it is...


PENRYN

This reminds me of when Taylor Swift trademarked a whole entire year just because it happened to be her birth year and she named an album after it.

 

FREYA snickers and shakes her head

 

TRENT: 

I don't mind him using it. 🐻

 

REBECCA: 

well...I do... (she said softly, not wanting to incur another disagreement.)

She shared Nate's affection for Trent...the least he could do was find his own nickname.

 

FREYA: 

I sense something happening between these three and I am not sure what yet....something...unresolved, fully at least....

 

Z-Dog

"Why are you talking?" 


GEORGE: 

Thank you, Ms. Obvious! 😛

 

NATE: 

there's not a lot of obvious nicknames for "Trent," though.

 

TRENT: 

Oh, that's true. I told Josh once, "Take out the R, it's Tent, take out the T, it's Rent," but neither of those really work as nicknames.

 

NATE, to Freya

 well, like understands like, I suppose.

 

REBECCA: 

Nate sounds nothing like "Little Bug" either...

 

FREYA moves back just a bit away from the woman

 

TRENT:

 I already explained "little bug"

 

REBECCA: 

Still...

 

GEORGE: 

Best to agree on this you guys...


PENRYN

Shut up, sock puppet.

 

NATE: 

Well, what else am I supposed to call him? You, Friar Fuck. Do you have any ideas?

 

BLACKWOOD bristles but says nothing

 

FREYA: 

Watch your tongue, mortal. 

Her voice drops low but still soft.

 

GEORGE:

 really? Is this how we are going to spend every moment together? (teases)

 

REBECCA: 

Seems so...they really don't like each other, do they? 😛

 

TRENT whispers something in Nathaniel's ear

 

NATE, O_O 

yeah, I'll call you that when I'm tired of living and would like Rebecca to unalive me.

 

TRENT: 

Yes, but it's "worse" than 'Trenty'

 

REBECCA is curious, but won't ask.

 

NATE: 

it also implies that I know something I have no way of knowing.

 

TRENT: 

Uh, technically it's a food, actually.

 

CAT: 

oh, dear gods...NOW what?

 

NATE: 

Uh yeah, I'm also definitely not saying that in front of your sister

 

CAT: 

ohh, you can talk about sex you've had in front of me but not this?

 

TRENT: 

Why, she knows what a sweetmeat is

 

REBECCA sighs softly 

joy.

 

GEORGE: 

I just don’t get why they don't just share!

 

FREYA: 

you can do that?! 

*blinks and shakes head* 

I don’t think I could...

 

CAT: 

wait! Isn't Faustus...?

 

FREYA: 

and we haven’t done anything yet...!

 

CAT:

 key word...yet.

 

TRENT: 

George— right!? I'm the one who asked if we could share him in the first place! And she flipped out and, well...

 

NATE: 

wait WHAT.

 

TRENT: 

I told you this

 

REBECCA: 

oh, don’t act like you don’t know...

 

NATE: 

Not that. Freya, you want to share ...your priest? With whom?

 

TRENT: 

if I had to guess, his wife?

 

FREYA: 

what? No!

 

CAT: 

but... isn’t he married?

 

FREYA: 

yes...

 

GEORGE:

 wow...and I thought we had issues.

 

FREYA: 

it isn't like that at all!

 

TRENT: 

Okay, so if it isn't Lady Blackwood, then who?

 

FREYA:

 I don’t want to share...that's my entire point!

 

GEORGE: 

and yet....you want to snog his brains out...


PENRYN

George doesn't say "snog", you pretentious anglophile.

 

FREYA looks to Faustus and wonders why in Hades he isn’t helping!

it's just....different...

 

BLACKWOOD: 

Yes, thank you, Mortal Admin, I've never tried this popped corn before.

 

TRENT: 

A word of advice: Don't ask for a threesome DURING sex. It kills the mood like pffft

 

FREYA: 

are...are you being funny right now? 

*incredulous*

 

REBECCA snorts

me thinks he's trapped in a loveless marriage...and Freya happens to be the one he's meant to be with.

 

NATE:

 oh my fucking god Trent

 

GEORGE: 

god that must suck!

 

CAT: 

why on earth would you do that, Trent?

 

GEORGE:

 both discussions suck...but I meant Freya’s issue. Lol

 

TRENT:

 I was riding high on adrenaline and lust after putting him in the hospital and it just slipped out.

 

BLACKWOOD: 

Freya is not the one whose wife won't touch— I mean, I do not wish to discuss this any further. 

*Blushing*

 

REBECCA shook her head and sighed

 Men...

 

FREYA looks at Faustus with a puzzled expression but knew better than to pry

 

GEORGE, however had no compunctions

so wife won't touch you, huh? Shame.

 

BLACKWOOD: ...

 

TRENT, cheerfully

 Better him than me!

 

REBECCA:

 Sounds like a marriage not meant to be. Why don't you just...divorce her? (asks, curious)

 

GEORGE: 

Witches don't really believe that sort of thing.

 

CAT: 

How do YOU know? 

*shocked*

 

GEORGE:

 I read! I mean, they can…but marriage is bound by their Dark Lord, it's a blessing...

 

An idea strikes FREYA, as she glances quickly at Faustus and back.

 

TRENT: 

If it's not meant to be, why get married in the first place?

 

NATE: 

Why, indeed.

 

BLACKWOOD glances at Freya

Hmm?

 

FREYA:

 It is expected... (she says like it is a given knowledge)

 

GEORGE catches the look the two share and smirks

 

TRENT: 

It's expected to just jump into some random marriage with someone you don't love? How medieval is that?

 

FREYA: 

It isn't like that...I am sure they knew each other, or at least were precontracted...it is just something that was done back in the day....I mean, back then...I mean...

 

GEORGE: 

Just stop...

 

FREYA: 

Witches and Warlocks live for hundreds of years; age is of no consequence.

 

TRENT: 

How horrible....

 

NATE: 

That explains a lot about Archbishop Archaic over here

 

FREYA: 

You're telling me. So glad they don't do that anymore. 

She visibly shuddered.

 

TRENT: 

That too, but living that long and actually witnessing each generation decline in elegance

 

FREYA: 

That's the thing...we don't age.

 

CAT: 

Say what?

 

FREYA: 

Once...we sign the Book of the Beast, we cease aging. We can die, of course, but not of old age. Not in that way...

 

TRENT: 

That's not what I said at all. You don't age, but you still have to deal with people around you and witnessing the general degradation of intelligence, elegance, and self-presentation of others in your city or—

 

NATE: 

Trenty, I don't think they spend a lot of time around mortals.

 

FREYA: 

Yea, what he said. We don't. 

She tilted her head a bit.

 In fact, you are the first mortals, I have actually spent time with.

 

TRENT makes a little face

So your society is insular and archaic, and you don't mingle with mortals. Um, so, do witches travel a lot to find their partners or...? How do you avoid inbreeding?

 

FREYA: 

Well, we do happen to mate and marry mortals, but it has to be given permission to do so. And yes, we travel...to find our mates, or our families arrange it for political gain. Glad that isn't the case...cause my father thinks to do the same with me....one day....

 

GEORGE: 

What? Your own father...?

 

NATE: 

That is disgusting

 

FREYA: 

How else do you think he became so powerful? Making promises on his children’s future...

 

NATE: 

Permission to marry who you want, I kind of get. My family is like that too. They'd rather I marry someone I can have children with and carry on the bloodline, and also looks and sounds good at charity brunches. But having your marriage straight-out arranged sounds vile.

 

TRENT: 

I could never have children with someone I didn't feel at least some kind of attraction to. I don't care how expected it is, my body....

 

FREYA: 

That is how it was done....and still is, in a way. 

Her eyes furrowed, not wanting to think of what could happen to her.

 

CAT: 

Your father would...really sell you...to the highest bidder? Just for power?

 

FREYA: 

You have no idea what my father would do to gain power. (says sadly, the thought of having no future returning)

 

BLACKWOOD: 

I do not believe these plans of his will come to pass.

 

FREYA looks over at Faustus with a look of sheer hope, before she schools it off her face

You do not know my father, High Priest.... (said softly) 

Nothing...stops him...

 

BLACKWOOD: 

You... after the time we have spent together... still underestimate me.

 

FREYA: 

It isn't that...you know I don't....it's just fear, from my previous experiences...

 

GEORGE: 

Honestly...have you listened to this woman, mate? Her life is fucked up. I can see the images, as she thinks of it… and I am surprised she hasn't offed herself or something!


CIN

Yeah, that's a real shame. That she hasn't, I mean.


Butch

"So that's what a hive mind be like!"

 

Z-Dog

"Also, why are you still speaking?"

 

PENRYN

Also, George doesn’t call people “mate”, nor does he say things like “I can see the images as she thinks of it”.

 

CIN

He did say, “If I was her I’d kill meself” in the song “Where’s Rebecca Bunch?” in the season 3 premiere, so he gets a pass for that.

 

SYKES

Yeah that part just irritated me as a whole cause he wasn't even doing shit but socket puppeting. See also why he didn't hardly pay much attention to Nathaniel. He was busy Sock puppeting.

 

FREYA: 

I would never! My brother means too much to me to just leave him alone....and besides...things are much better now...

 

NATE:

 George, you've got to stop suggesting things like that... (First about Rebecca after she was left at the altar, now about Freya, honestly....)

 

TRENT: 

. . . Living for more vulnerable family members, that's honorable.

 

GEORGE: 

What? What did I say? I can't help what I see...

 

FREYA nods and smiles a bit

 Thank you, He is all that mattered for a long time...a Long time...

 

TRENT: 

okay now you've lost me.

 

NATE: 

I'm an only child...so...

 

GEORGE: 

Now I'm confused...

 

FREYA: 

Only child? That must have been boring...I am sorry.

 

TRENT: 

It took me years to accept my sister once I learned of her existence and I can't exactly imagine living for her. No offense.

 

NATE: 

No, I wasn't bored, but I did get all the family expectations put on me. I'm Nathaniel Plimpton III. My family's firm was called "Plimpton, Plimpton, and Plimpton". So, I know what it's like growing up with your parents demanding excellence and seeing only one set path for you. It would have been nice having a "spare" around.

 

FREYA looks at Trent, curious

 You had a sibling, and can't imagine living for them? I would do anything for my brother... 

*walks over to him and allows her glamor to fall. The magic hiding her scars fading as she stood there, unashamed for once of the many marks across her skin* 

Anything....

 

BEX

she has scars all un and down her arms, one good sized one across her cheek and just under her eye, but it's her back that bears the most...some are old and white, some are still pink... her father is very handy with his whip....and often, uses poison on it for the ones who piss him off the most.

 

TRENT, dispassionately

 Good for you. Mine is the result of an affair, and I didn't know she existed for the first three years of her life, so...

 

NATE: 

Whoa. Why would you put up with that? That's abuse. Isn't there any authority you could...?

 

FREYA looks over at Nate and smiles a bit before she chuckles

Who’s going to tell, Nate? Who’s going to stop him?

 

NATE: 

Your, um, entity that you serve didn't do anything about this?

 

FREYA: 

The Dark Lord takes no side in petty squabbles. The lives of his children are to figure out for themselves...


Z-Dog

"But see above where the Dark lord would kill him for her..... Huh, very weird"

 

AKUMA

It's not weird at all! The gods ALWAYS owe favors to the PROTAGONIST! We're SPECIAL!

 

TROPHY

You special, alright!

 

Z-Dog

"Fuck the gods!"

 

AKUMA

Oh, I do!

 

Z-dog

And then miscarry and die. We know

 

AKUMA

Exactly! Glad to know you've been paying attention! 😃

 

Z-DOG: e_e


NATE: 

That's shitty. Being whipped is not a petty squabble. What the actual fuck.

 

FREYA shrugs slightly and allows the magic to return

It happens....sadly. My story is one of the better ones...

 

TRENT: 

That's bleak. Do you want some chicken wings?

 

FREYA blinks and smirks

Yes please...I am a little hungry.

 

GEORGE: 

So proud... 

*smiles at Nate*

 

NATE: 

proud?

 

GEORGE pops another chicken wing in his mouth and winks

 

REBECCA: 

Just go with it, Nate...it's been a long day.

 *giggles and steals one too*

 

FREYA hums softly to herself, watching a small fire horse prance in her hand, before she remembers herself and closes her hand over it, extinguishing it.

 

REBECCA: 

That was really neat... 

She had seen.

 

FREYA smiles shyly

That...merely something Amos loved....

 

NATE: ????

 

TRENT: 

Wow! Was that a horse? Made of fire?!

 

FREYA smiles and nods 

yes. I can do simple spells...but this...this is easy.

 

GEORGE: 

can you do anything else?

 

TRENT watches with interest

 NATE scoffs and turns away

 

BLACKWOOD: 

We really should not be showing off for mortals; it's improper.

 

FREYA: 

What would you like to see? 

*before casting her eyes to Faustus and averts her eyes*

 

REBECCA looks over at the man and frowns

Surely displays of talent are permitted where you are from? (asks softly, but firmly)

She isn't showing off...she is good at it.


PENRYN

What the fuck does "showing off" mean on Planet Rebecca? Because "displaying talent to show you're good at it" is what "showing off" means here.

 

GEORGE: 

How about a wolf? 

*curious*

 

CAT: 

Nate?

 *goes to sit by him* 

what's wrong?

 

NATE: 

I agree with Friar Fuck, actually.

 

BLACKWOOD rolls his eyes

 

NATE: 

Come find me when you're done playing with the new girl, George. 

*Huffs off*

 

FREYA: 

Did...did I do something wrong? 

She seems to curl up in on herself.

 

REBECCA: 

Why on earth would you think that? 

*looks back at Nate's departure with a frown.* 

who pissed in his Wheaties?

 

CAT:

 I don't think there is anything wrong with showing what you are most proud of. Hell, you should me on a horse. 

She smiled and winked at Rebecca, who giggled.

 

GEORGE is just confused

 TRENT sighs and goes to drag Nathaniel back


 FREYA looks around and has no idea what is going on.

 I—I don't think I should.... 

How could something that once made someone she loved so much, happy, be wrong to show? Why did the blonde haired one react so negatively? All was confusion.

 

GEORGE: 

He will be alright. Don't worry.

 

CAT: 

I think it's a neat trick though.

 

FREYA: 

It isn't a trick...not really...


SERLEINA

Unlike what YOUR MOTHER TURNED!

 

TRENT physically carries Nathaniel back and sits him down

What's wrong, little bug?

 

NATE: 

Hmph.

 

FREYA: 

Have...Have I done something to upset you, Nate?

 

NATE:

 I don't know you well enough for you to call me that.

 

REBECCA: 

Nate...we have been talking with them both all day. Stop being mean.

 

CAT: 

What's wrong with you guys?

 

TRENT: 

Hey, why are you being so aggressive?

 

NATE:

 Fine, take her side.

 

GEORGE: 

What is going on, Nate? (he asks softly, coming over to lightly caress his face) 

Why are you so angry all of a sudden?

 

NATE: 

Who said I was angry? 

*but leans his cheek into George's touch*

 

FREYA squeezes her hand shut tightly and holds it against her chest as she looks down. She didn't understand


SERLEINA

Ooh, ooh, I wanna do it.


AKUMA

Okaaayy. Just this once.


SERLEINA

UWAAAAAUUUUUGGGGHHHHHH, PITY MEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

*flops onto the floor kicking and screaming*

IT'S TIME TO HAVE A MISCARRIAGE AND DIIIIEEEE!!!! DO I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION AND SYMPATHY YET?


PIFFY

Akuma, that was genuinely kind of you.


AKUMA

I have my moments.

 

GEORGE: 

Because I know you...and you aren't this… snappy without reason. (says softly and kisses him tenderly) 

What's wrong...

 

NATE: 

You and Trent and Catherine and even Rebecca are sooo fascinated by the new girl. I don't like it, and I don't like her.

 

TRENT: 

Whoa, Nathaniel, no. I just like horses. And fire.

 

NATE: 

If you like fire so much why don't you just go die in one.

 *Crosses his arms and turns away*

 

TRENT: 

 

GEORGE: 

Why Hun? (he asked) 

Why don't you like her? I don't like her...like that! Gods no! 

It hit him.

 

REBECCA:

 What? No offense but I don't like women...

 

CAT's eyes furrow

 Nate! You should know better....She's young, hurting...


AKUMA: *Akuma noise*


CAT

and she's here to stay. 


SERLEINA: *disgruntled Serleina noise*


CAT

She isn't going to take your place you silly thing!

 

FREYA: 

Is it because....of what I did? (she asked softly, watching for any hint that she was right)

 I am new...I can do things you can't...people here are excited...does that...bother you?

 

NATE: ............


PENRYN

If you suspect that might be the case, why would you bring it up and rub his nose into it?

 

TRENT wraps his arms around Nathaniel from behind and puts his head in his shoulder

Hey....

 

FREYA tilts head

 I am not going to take your place. That is not why I am here.

 

NATE:

 As if you could.

 

REBECCA: 

Nate...please...be nice. Remember, she is younger than you. 


PENRYN

Who cares?


REBECCA

Don't be childish.


PENRYN

It's my job. I'm Commentary. And I'm on the Prod Squad.

 

GEORGE hangs onto Nate's hand since Trent has taken his spot but smirks up at them both

 We still love you, you goof.

 

NATE turns his head and sticks his tongue out at the girls

 

FREYA goes to sit back in her corner and opens her hand as a perfect wolf made of fire, trots around her hand. For a moment, all she can do is stare, before she squelches it out and closes her eyes, soft tears fall, silently


SERLEINA

AWOOO, BOOHOO!

 

NATE: 

wow ok

 

CAT: 

Way to go, Tiger...

 

REBECCA: 

Now what's wrong?

 

FREYA: 

Nothing... (says softly.)

Her brother had loved wolves, had loved her gift, and in sharing it, it brought back memories.

 

NATE, mockingly

 yeah, ~now what's wrong?~

 

BLACKWOOD: 

You will desist. Immediately.

 

NATE pulls away from the boys and stands up

 Oh yeah? And uh, who's going to make me, Ascot Archibald?

 

REBECCA: 

You are acting like a spoiled child, Nate! 

She is actually upset with him.

 Can't you see you have upset her!


Butch

"Ya man, her being upset is definitely more important than you. Take a seat"

 

AKUMA

I know, right?


PENRYN

He's CLEARLY having an episode characteristic of a disorder you know either him or his writer to have, and you're once again accusing him of "being childish" and "upsetting" one of your writer's characters rather than trying to actually see where he is coming from.

 

Even GEORGE was upset with the way Nate was behaving, but kept his mouth shut. He simply squeezed Nate’s hand, hard.


PENRYN

Oh of course EVEN HE, who is also written by Freya's writer, is upset.

 

CAT: 

What is WRONG with you? Are you that insecure that you would pick on someone smaller than you?


PENRYN

Does it matter that she's ~waaahhh, smaller~ than him? Why is that the thing your side keeps bringing up?

 

NATE: 

You know what, fuck all of you. I'm out.

 

REBECCA: 

Stop...Nate! What the fuck man!


PENRYN

Well, you're all attacking him for displaying symptoms. That's "the fuck"

 

FREYA sits silently, sniffs softly

 I—I am sorry...


PENRYN

Shut the fuck up and stop trying to get all the attention and pity on you.

 

CAT: 

No! You didn't do anything, Hun. Don't you apologize...not at all...


PENRYN

Stop indulging her bitch-ass.

 

TRENT tugs him back down firmly and sits with him holding his hands until he calms down 

Your friends are going to be sad if you go.

 

NATE: ......

 

TRENT: 

and if you go, then I'll have to go, and then Rebecca will be double-sad. You don't want that, do you?

 

NATE: 

. . . I guess not. Okay. I'm sorry. I think.

 

FREYA instinctively reaches up and slips her hand into Faustus's, watching Nate return. Had he...protected her? That was something.

 REBECCA shake head at Nate but says nothing

 

GEORGE:

 Now...can we take it down a notch and talk like adults?

 

CAT: 

That would be great! Thanks! 


PENRYN

Because "adults" don't display symptoms of mental illness, you see.


CAT

What is going on... 

*looks at Nate*

 

NATE: . . .

 

All (Bex-side) look at Nate, curious

 

REBECCA: 

come on Nate, what was that? (asks softly)

 

BLACKWOOD consents to holding Freya's hand; after all, there's no one here to get them "into trouble"

 FREYA had no idea she had taken his hand and smiles softly when she realizes she had, and he did not reject her

 NATE just watches everyone stonily.

 

LUCIFER: 

Nathaniel—

 

NATE closes eyes

Nope. Don't even think about it.

 

REBECCA: 

Where did he come from?! Again!

 

FREYA looks over at the other blasphemer and sighs


PENRYN

Fuck your existence. You should have been spat into a fleabag motel trash can.

 

LUCIFER:

 I've been here.

 

GEORGE: 

Silent...if he's been here the whole time...

 

LUCIFER: 

Nathaniel, is there any particular reason you don't want me to draw out your heart's desire?

 

NATE: 

Yeah. There's already one happy homewrecker in the group, far be it from me to be another.

 

REBECCA: 

Wait. What?

 

GEORGE: 

What does he mean?

 

TRENT swallows and stays silent

 

LUCIFER: 

What about you, Freya? What do you desire?

 

REBECCA notices Trent's actions and eyes furrow slightly

 FREYA's eyes go wide at being included and her grip on Faustus's hand slightly tightens, but she says nothing

 

LUCIFER leans forward and catches Freya's gaze

Freya, what is it that you truly desire?

 

FREYA gasps and closes her eyes tightly. Locking out all mental images as well.

No! You do not have my permission!


PENRYN

You can't do that if he's already got eye contact with you. Watch the fucking canon.

 

REBECCA: 

What one Earth is going on! Who’s a happy homewrecker!?

 

TRENT laughs

Lucifer, it doesn't take special powers to see what Freya wants.

 

LUCIFER: 

Believe me, I'm aware. I was just hoping she would share with the class. I'm a little disappointed that this doesn't work on witches.

 

NATE: 

Not you, cause you burned your teacher's house down when he wouldn't leave his wife.

 

FREYA scowls and turns her nose up cutely


PENRYN

Ew. It's bad form to describe your OWN actions as "cute".

 

CAT: 

Why are you being so SNOTTY


PENRYN

Rebecca did burn down Robert Donnelly's house when he wouldn't leave his wife for her. In canon. But I guess bringing up canon is "snotty" now.

 

NATE: 

Ask Mary Sue Newbie.

 

TRENT: 

Wow. Did not think he was going to go there

 

FREYA: 

I honestly have no idea what you are talking about? If you think I seek to take away attention from you, I DON'T...

 

LUCIFER: 

Oh, hel-lo... 

*reaches down into Trent's backpack and pulls out several fun toys, and also a branding iron that says TM*

 

NATE: 

Hey, that's not yours!

 

TRENT: 

It's fine, let him play with it. It's not like it's hot.

 

NATE stares longingly at it

 

REBECCA sees the look Nate gives and goes stiff

absolutely not....

 

GEORGE: 

what...oh...

 

NATE folds his arms on the table and puts his chin on them, still gazing at it

Lucifer asked me what I wanted.... I guess now you know.

 

LUCIFER: 

Technically you interrupted me

 

NATE narrows his eyes but doesn't argue

 

REBECCA: 

you want Trent...my husband...to brand you? Or do you want to belong to him too?

 

GEORGE: 

oh gods... 

*goes to sit this one out for now but watches*

 

CAT: 

wait. Am I missing something?

 

REBECCA: 

obviously! Yes!

 

NATE: 

Both.

 

REBECCA swallows and counts to ten 

look...I've put up with a lot the last few days...and all considered I think I handled it pretty well...


PENRYN

We don't.


REBECCA

but THIS...no...

 

NATE doesn't react

 

REBECCA: 

how many times have I said that 'I'm TRYING'? 


PENRYN

In and out of narration? Too many. You get a D- for effort, by the way.


REBECCA

How many times have I promised to do better and actually attempted it...but this...what am I supposed to do with this?

 

CAT: 

ohhhh shit...

 

NATE:

 ok.

 

TRENT: 

I actually didn't mean to bring that back with me... sorry, this one's my fault. It was my dad's. I was going to throw it out, but I packed in such a hurry that... yeah. Sorry.

 

REBECCA look back and forth at them both and let out a disgusted sigh and walked off to sit elsewhere. Too much was too much this week...and she had been good dammit!


PENRYN

Because constantly whining about someone having a crush on your husband, when your husband isn't actually in a relationship with them out of respect for YOU, is oh so good.

 

NATE calls out

 It's not like it was going to happen anyway! We haven't even had sex, and that's when I would have asked—

 

TRENT: 

Hey, hey. Let it go. 

*takes the branding iron back from Lucifer and puts it back in his backpack*

 

REBECCA: 

I'm fine! We are fine! Just...give me a minute! Please! (she called out from her seat)

 

FREYA: 

They have an odder dynamic then us. 

She looks up at Faustus with a small smirk.

 

GEORGE: 

Hun, you have NO idea... 

*chuckles*

 

NATE: 

You know, Catherine once told me that you can't let your family decide who you're going to be. I told her it wasn't that simple. I guess I should have realized all I had to do was find a sugar d—

 

TRENT: 

Little bug, please.

 

NATE: 

Please, what? I'm not doing anything. I can't fucking do anything. I am anchored into inactivity by that FUCKING ALBATROSS AROUND YOUR NECK, TRENT!

 

TRENT: 

Nope. No.

 

REBECCA: 

WHO’S A FUCKING ALBATROSS! 

She had heard that and damn near lost her mind!


PENRYN

Not like it would have far to go.

 

TRENT grabs Nathaniel by the throat and chokeslams him into the table

 I've had enough of this. You heard her. She is trying to come to terms with us being close. I don't care what you say to the newbies, but you WILL NOT sit there and insult my wife. Is that understood?

 

NATE closes his eyes, letting tears fall; knowing he deserves to be hurt and finding this more soothing than he should

Understood...

 

Before REBECCA could react, Trent had done so, and for a moment, she felt glad of it! Nate was being a little shit and she hated it when he turned his anger outwards.


REBECCA

Trent...Don't...he didn't mean it...please. she asks softly as she came to stand beside the two of them. 

Whatever her moods, she couldn't have them fighting!

 

FREYA: 

Sheesh....

 

GEORGE: 

what?

 

FREYA: 

That one reminds me of my....well...never mind. But I still like him. So protective. that's kind of hot in a way.

 

NATE is slightly dazed, but calmer.

Yes. He is hot. 

*opens his eyes and looks up at Rebecca and Trent* 

You both are... so beautiful... 😢

 

REBECCA:

 How hard did you hit him? (she teased, smirking to show no hard feelings)

 

TRENT: 

Hard enough. He's still alive, isn't he?

 

REBECCA moves Trent's hand and shoos him away playfully with a kiss, helping Nate sit up

Now…did we learn our lesson?

 

NATE pulls away and sits back down, with his head on his arms again

 TRENT sits down next to Nate and rubs his back

 

NATE: 

sorry 😐

 

REBECCA: 

We have got to learn to communicate better than this, guys... (says softly)

We can't be biting at each other simply when we get mad...

 

NATE: 

You communicated fine. Point taken.

 

REBECCA:

 Yes, but you haven't...and that's ok, for now. We just have to work on it is all.

 

FREYA looks up from her book, still sitting close to Faustus

 So, we good?


PENRYN

We will be once you're dead in the ground where you belong. Thanks for asking.

 

NATE: 

Okay. I'll communicate.

(in a calm and detached voice, almost hollow) I found the brand in Trent's backpack and started fantasizing about him marking me irrefutably as his, during sex, which we're never going to have, so he's never going to actually do that, and you don't want me to belong to him because somehow you have a problem being with both of us together even though you have been with both of us individually, and yet you're ragging on me for being bratty about not getting all the attention. Then you found out that I want him to do that, and you got mad at me, even though, like I just said, we all know it isn't going to happen. My dreams are dead, my life is a lie, and Suebie McTragedy here is rubbing her longing for a married man in all our faces, but somehow when she does it, it's charming and cute because she can make ~fire horses~


Butch

"Yo he's right.... Ain't that some shit"

 

Z-DOG

"Yeah but it's all about the fact Faustus's wife isn't more than a plot piece to murder. And it doesn't involve another writers’ muses being together too" 

 

REBECCA is speechless but she takes a moment to think and settles down beside Nate.

Nate...I never said that this was going to be easy, for any of us. I am used to being Monogamous...even if I cheated, which I am sorry for, that is how my mind works. I have told you, both of you that I am trying, and I am, but you can't rush me on this, or it really will end up blowing up in all of our faces. 

She sighed.

Trying to be friends with you is hard...even more so when I still like you, but being in the mind frame I am, it is taking me a while to come to grips with all that. Please. All I ask is to be patient with me. We don't know what the future holds...you don't, I don't, Trent doesn't. It will get better, in time, I promise....

 

FREYA: 

And we do things differently then you...Faustus is married, yes, but in name only...The heart cannot help who the heart wants....


PENRYN

If the heart cannot help what the heart wants, then why is Rebecca in such a tizzy over Nathaniel's heart wanting Trent? And, later on, YOU yourself get into a tizzy over Faustus developing a crush on Lucifer.

 

Angel

"My heart wants Freya to shut up"

 

POST-EDIT FAUS MAUS

So does my dick.

 

POST-EDIT RENA

Mine, too.

 

SERLEINA

MY FURRY ROBOT DICK LITERALLY JUST SHORTS OUT AT THE SOUND OF HER VOICE, SO MINE, TOO!


NATE: 

Don't fucking lecture me about what the heart wants. I know what my heart wants. Go parade your jailbait ass elsewhere.

(to Blackwood) And what the fuck do you think YOU'RE doing? You're like, what, a thousand years old? Why don't you find someone your own age? Or did they all die out with the dinosaurs?

 

GEORGE: 

Don't yell at her....and stop being petty. You are going to get us ALL killed.


PENRYN

Canonically, George would always be on Nathaniel's side, come Hell or high water. He would never DARE lecture Nathaniel.

 

CAT shakes head

He doesn't mean it... (says softly to Freya)


PENRYN

And if he did, would that be so bad? Who are you to speak for Nathaniel?

 

FREYA: 

Say what you like about me, but don't you dare talk that way to my High Priest! 

Her temper flared.

 

NATE: 

FUCK YOU, GEORGE. Or rather, un-fuck you. I should never have touched you.

 

CAT: 

You don't mean that! Watch what you say, before you say something you can't ever take back!


PENRYN

You don't know what he means or doesn't mean.

 

NATE: 

You're right. I don't mean that. Nothing means anything.

*turns to Lucifer and pulls the Blade of Azrael off him* 

Nothing means anything.


PENRYN

WHY THE FUCK WAS LUCIFER CARRYING THAT ON HIS PERSON?!

 

LUCIFER automatically backs away

 

TRENT: 

No... Please

 

REBECCA: 

Wait...what the hell just happened? Nate! Put that back!

 

TRENT tackles Nathaniel to the ground and wrestles the weapon away from him

Nathaniel, do you know what this is? It takes your soul out of existence.

 

NATE just curls into Trent and cries

 

LUCIFER: 

I'll take that. 

*gets the blade back and disappears it*

 

REBECCA looks at Lucifer

Why don't you go sit somewhere and be quiet for a while? 


PENRYN

. . . you're saying that to Lucifer? Dude. You're lucky he's so chill.


REBECCA watches the boys and breathes a sigh of relief, she would have punched Nate to knock him out if Trent hadn't done something.


PENRYN

Mm, no. Rebecca had plenty of time to react before Trent did.

 

Butch

"Punched him maybe? Knocked him out? That little lady has alot of confidence"

 

CIN

Nathaniel's squishy in canon, but not THAT squishy. Josh knocked him out of a chair by sucker-punching him, but Josh is also super buff. Rebecca is mentioned to work out like twice and she prefers sitting on the couch and carbo-loading till after midnight. She's a 5'4" couch potato and Nate's a 6'2" gym rat.


LUCIFER: 

Dearie me. Seems like Freya isn't the only unpopular new muse around today.

 

GEORGE shakes head

 Someone on the hormonal train... (whispers but Rebecca overhears and slaps him)

OW!


PENRYN

Remember that time Orion (male) told Illybrius (male) to "think of your prostate as a G-spot"? That's what this reminds me of.

 

REBECCA: 

Be nice! Why must all of you argue so damn much!

 

FREYA shrugs

 I could care less at this point. I like everyone here though...or I am trying to...


PENRYN

>a man tries to unalive himself in front of you

>"I could care less."

>"I like everyone."

>"Or I am trying to."

 

TRENT holds Nathaniel close and lets him cry it out

George, that wasn't helpful. Hey, you're supposed to be his actual boyfriend, why didn't you do anything?

 

GEORGE: 

I wasn't here for a moment...Admin tuned me out. Sorry...glad you did something.


PENRYN

That's a bullshit excuse.

 

REBECCA: 

yea, or I would have, and Nate really wouldn't have liked me then

 

TRENT:

 George... I like you for Nate, I do, but all you've done is nag him about being mean to the new girl. Honestly, I don't really blame him for blowing up at you.

 

GEORGE shrugs and sighs

It's been a long day, and tempers are high. I will not defend myself right now...


PENRYN

Good, because you shouldn't be defending yourself. You should be standing with your boyfriend.


GEORGE

but I know what it's like, to have been the 'new' person...just saying...


PENRYN

> "I won't defend myself"

> proceeds to defend himself

 

AVERNA: 🔪


CAT: 

got a point...Me, Rebecca, Trent, and Nate, have been here since the beginning...George didn't come around till a little later.


PENRYN

And did George immediately make a wild jackal's colt of himself while everyone else huddled around him protectively?

 

TRENT: 

That's fine, I'm not stopping you from siding with the person your boyfriend blatantly doesn't like. It's up to you whether you want him to cling more to me or to you, George

 -\_()_/-

 

REBECCA: 

why must this be about sides anyway? 


PENRYN

Because instead of genuinely trying to help someone who was having a mental health episode, YOUR SIDE played "coddle the new girl" and stigmatized the person displaying symptoms.


REBECCA

We are ALL here now, so we should learn to deal with it? Stop fighting each other! 


PENRYN

Then stop being ableist.


REBECCA

I know you can't stand one another and honestly, you don't have to! But we all reside in the same minds...make the best of it, or it's going to be like this every day


CAT:

 I concur.


PENRYN

Or you could kill off the newbie. I like that idea, personally. Also, shut up, sock puppet.

  

TRENT:

It doesn't have to be rational. He decided he doesn't like someone, so for him it's about sides, and you all piled on him, ergo, not on his side. Which, again, is fine with me. I can lay here with him and snuggle aaaall night and day 🥰

 

NATE: 

I like him already.

 

REBECCA: 

Well, I like her...sure, she's different and young, but she's smart and friendly, and there is no reason not to like her. 


PENRYN

Are you kidding? People have all sorts of reasons for not liking each other in real life. This reads a whole lot more like the writer going, "How dare you not like my baby? *wibble*"


REBECCA

She hasn't done anything wrong to any of us. Not liking someone for no reason is childish and hateful.

 

CAT: 

It really is...I don't want to even choose sides, but I agree. 


PENRYN

You SAY you don't want to choose sides, and yet you blatantly are.


ERNEST:

She doesn’t want there to be sides to choose. An important distinction.


CAT

She hasn't hurt anyone here, why the dislike? Now if she had said something or thrown a spell at your face. Fine. But she hasn't.


PENRYN

But she's whiny and annoying, and you're all coddling her.

 

GEORGE: 

Don't even pull me into this! I think you all are daft right now and on some emotional high!


PENRYN

Oh, you, the guy who's been trying to get with Nathaniel since 2017, don't want to be "pulled into" helping him come down from an episode? HAHA BET! Also, George does not talk like that in canon.

 

TRENT cuddles closer to Nathaniel protectively and holds him tight

He doesn't dislike her for "no reason", he made his reasoning pretty clear.

 

REBECCA: 

Because she wants a married man? That's ridiculous! HE wants YOU...and what...I am just supposed to swallow it like I have been doing for the past week? 


PENRYN

Yes. Swallow it. Like your mum should have swallowed you.


REBECCA

If I acted like he is now, you'd flay me alive...


PENRYN

Please provide evidentiary support for your claim.


REBECCA

and yet you are cuddling him...

 

GEORGE and CAT move away silently, but agree

 FREYA moves closer to Faustus, feeling the rising tension

 

TRENT: 

What makes you think I'd flay you alive? And regardless of whether anyone agrees or disagrees with his thought process, how come I am the only one down here holding him and trying to bring comfort, hmm? You're all so busy judging and condemning him that you forgot, at least two of you, that you're actually fucking dating him.

 

CAT: 

Again, I have no say in this as I am not here...Admin has me elsewhere.


PENRYN

Then shut the fuck up. Your input is unnecessary, and you are, at best, proving Trent's point.

 

GEORGE: 

same...though I am lost about the whole situation...

 

REBECCA for once, goes stock still and very, very cold

Because, as you fail to see, he does it to himself. (she said simply)


PENRYN

He brings his mental illness symptoms on himself. That's a healthy fucking message.


REBECCA

 He said he hated her also for the attention she 'stole' from him...is this not, then, another cry for it and look...you are giving it to him. 


PENRYN

Oh okay yeah, when you put it like that, he probably should have just let Nathaniel die. Because then you wouldn't have to deal with his pesky inconvenient symptoms and how they make YOU feel. Also, don't YOU dislike Nathaniel because he takes Trent's attention away from you? Because that's sure as hell what it sounds like to me.


REBECCA

And yes, Love...if I acted this way in any part of the last week, you would have scolded me...as you have already done. Why should I 'try' and suck it up and he can fall apart, and you comfort him? Not fair...really...


PENRYN

Did you just reach such a point of despair as to try to take your soul out of existence? No? Then shut the fuck up.

 

LUCIFER lays down next to Nathaniel and pulls him in 

For the record, I am neither judging nor condemning him.

 

TRENT stands up and goes to hug Rebecca

 

REBECCA: 

I'm not judging either...I am just saying it's not fair. 

When Trent hugs her, it takes her a moment to respond, she is that mad inside. But only a second as she hugs him back, fiercely.

 

TRENT: 

Babygirl, the difference is that you already have me. I made a commitment to you until the end of time. And every time you fall, you have so many people waiting to catch you, like when you were in the hospital last year after New York. Nathaniel looks like he has a lot of people on paper, but in practice, I'm the one who keeps saving him, not because I plan for it, but because.... He needs me to step up for him.

 

They were back at this conversation again and literally, REBECCA was sick to death of it.


PENRYN

Oh, I know. It sucks when your partner cares about his friends.


POST-EDIT RENA

Actually, yes, it does.


PENRYN

You're an asshole.

 

FREYA peeks out to see why everyone has gone quiet

 REBECCA has absolutely nothing to say, cause she knows no matter what she says, she will sound horrible, so she simply caresses Trent's cheek and kisses him, deeply.


REBECCA

I love you... (she utters before she walks off to sit elsewhere a while.)

She literally...can't....right now. Not again.

 

TRENT: 

You have an interesting way of showing it.

*goes back to cuddling up to Nathaniel*

 

REBECCA: 

yea...I am the bad person... again... I get it.


PENRYN

Not this Mother Gothel bullshit. Also, note how her narration states that she's more interested in not SOUNDING horrible, as opposed to just not BEING horrible.


ERNEST, who has been through basically every Bad Faith Bullshit in his 10,000 years of being a rebel war god with benefits, groans 

When your own rhetoric has built a corner behind you, don't complain about being backed into it.

 

TRENT:

 I have explained and explained why Nathaniel needs me, and y'all are just proving my point when I'm the only one besides Lucifer, who just met him a few hours ago, actually willing to make sure he doesn't fucking kill himself. So then...

*cups Nathaniel's cheek and leans close to him* 

I love you, little bug....

 

NATE: 

Wait. Stop. I don't want to ruin all of our relationships. I'm sorry, guys.

 

REBECCA shakes head

And yet, he gets what he wants....it's an act...and you are to blind to see it. 


PENRYN

Just like you trying to kill yourself in season 3 was an act, right?


REBECCA gets up and turns to leave. She can't keep doing this anymore. She tried and tried and gets fussed at for trying...it isn't fair....

 

BEX

Hey! Wait! Come back!

 

REBECCA pauses only a moment, looking back

 I care about Nate too....but I don't like it when people act out and think to get rewarded...when those same actions upon someone else get condemned. I am done saying it...that is the last time...

 

NATE:

 Okay but, *points to seasons 1-3*

 

REBECCA sighs in frustration and walks over to Nate, shooing Trent out of the way like he was nothing. Pulls the taller man up to her eye level and glares at him

You think I want to feel this way? To end up hating you when I really don't? To put this all between us simply because you think you are alone. Well, let me tell you right now, Nathaniel J. Plimpton 3rd, you AREN'T! 

And in a rash but instinctual reaction to shut everyone and everything up, she KISSED him! Long and hard, before pulling back, growling at both men.

 There! Is that clear enough for you?

 

FREYA's eyes go wide, and she giggles 

 Wow...

 

GEORGE: 

yea...

 

CAT: 

Ok. well...that was unexpected.

 

NATE is dazed.

Literally nothing is clear right now, but that was... nice.

 

REBECCA: 

Oh, shut up!

 *growls at him softly and nuzzles him before turning to look at Trent.*

 I can't say that I can let you two share...yet...but I am open to the discussion...just...don't either of you push me on the matter. I mean that.

 

TRENT: *group hugs* 😊

 

REBECCA:

 yea yea...you are all of you weird! 

*hugs them both* 

But I love you...so that makes it ok.

 

NATE is still depressed but not quite as badly; leans into the cuddles.

 

REBECCA: 

I love you Nate...I really do. We will figure this all out. 

*sighs softly, leaning over to kiss his forehead and then claim Trent's lip in a tender kiss* 

I am sorry I shouted at you, Love. Forgive me?

 

NATE: 

I love you too... Still...

 

TRENT: 

I'll think about it. 

*pets her*

 

REBECCA gasps at Trent's words

wha—huh?

 *giggles when she realizes he's teasing* 

Oh you silly...!

 *turns and nuzzles Nate* 

We will figure this out...I am sure...

 

TRENT: 

Mhm...

 

NATE: 

Freya, I uh... Your ability with the fire is pretty cool... It just reminded me of what I couldn't have. Because of the brand. And I lashed out and it wasn't cool

 

FREYA looks up and smiles faintly, nodding her head

Thank you, Nate—Nathaniel. Apology accepted...you are forgiven. (she teased with a giggle)

 

BEX

I dare not voice Freya's thoughts at the moment, she had been reading all this time, and has no idea what Lupercalia is. 

*snorts* 

basically, it is the witches’ version of Valentine’s day. Three days of it...lol The first day, they pair up randomly, by the women dancing around a maypole while the men sit in chairs before them and music play. When the music stops...the male wizard, they are in front of, is their partner for the festival....

 Day two is the courting, where the two partners are given a basket at midnight that contains a blanket for them to lay upon, blood, to swipe across their foreheads in a symbolic right, milk to wash it off like making new again, and then cherries, which are for 'popping' 

*winks* 

eating, along with dates and other such succulent foods. They are to lie together, side by side, naked, or as close to it as possible and try to resist one another...all night long.

 The third night is the hunt! Where the women are dressed in red hoods and race into the woods after their partners who have a wolf’s skin over their heads, in a sense to hunt them, and when caught, they mate...or make out... whichever...

 can't see Faustus participating in all of that...but a semblance of that...with Freya, might be entertaining. Hehehe

 

SIGYN

Anton 😈

 

NATE: 

seconded 😈

 

FREYA:

 What?

 

TRENT: 

teeheeheeheeeeee

 

FREYA: 

Oh no...ohhhh no no no... 

*shakes her head*

He's a FRIEND. One I literally just met.

 

LUCIFER: 

But it seems as though it is random, is it not? ...can angels participate?

 

FREYA: 

what? Can't I make friends now?

 

LUCIFER: 

Of course. But the wizard you stop in front of...is randomized, is it not?

 

FREYA: 

I don't know anything about him. He just said hi to me and sat with me at lunch....... 

*pauses* 

Oh noooo! 

*shakes head*

 I am forbidden to participate...if my father found out... 

She pales, actually pales.


PENRYN

You chose one of the palest skin tones from Sigyn's available color palette for her. What do you mean, "she ACTUALLY pales"?

 

LUCIFER: 

Your father sounds like a big bag of no-funsicles

 

FREYA: 

besides...the one I want to participate with, probably wouldn't do so anyway (she thought to herself.) 

Oh he is! terribly so! There's only one, I'd risk that for... 

She froze, not realizing she had spoken out loud again.

 

REBECCA smirks

Hey, that's an idea!

 

TRENT: 

If you would risk getting every bone in your body broken twice, then you know... it is truly... *~love~*

 

FREYA looks over at Trent and eyes furrow

You...did that? For Love? (asks softly, tilts head)

 

TRENT: 

Not intentionally, but yes.

 

FREYA nods and her eyes flashes over to Faustus and she smirks faintly

I'd risk more than that.... 

She turned back to look at Trent.

If my father ever found out...He'd not just punish me, He'd kill me. But it'd be worth it...for one night... 

She steals another glance and blushes.

 

REBECCA:

 wow...and I thought I had it bad. 

*giggles*

 

TRENT: 

I pursued this woman my entire adult life, risked getting thrown in jail for illegal surveillance, hacking, breaking and entering... had my heart broken many times... got hit by a bus... fell off a roof... and now we're married! :D it all works out in the end! You just have to stay positive.

 

FREYA: 

And alive...preferably. 😛

 

REBECCA: 

yea, there is that...

 

TRENT:

 If he wouldn't make love to your dead body, is it really true love?

 

NATE:

 Trent!

 

TRENT: 

Kidding!

 

FREYA: 

Ewww! 

She wrinkled her nose.

That's a bit too far... 

She giggles.

 wow

 

TRENT: 

Hey, don't kinkshame

 

REBECCA: 

No, that is not a kink, Love. That is an issue. 😛

 

NATE: 

Didn't he once threaten to kill me and fuck me, in that order?

 

TRENT: 

Twice.

 

REBECCA turns back to Freya, rolling her eyes

They are so silly...anyway, How has it been, since you joined the school?

 

FREYA: 

Oh, it's been wonderful!

 

GEORGE: 

Wonderful?

 *eyes lift to glance at Faustus and smirks*

 Hmmmm

 

NATE: ...

 

CAT: 

Are we really going to tease the witch again?

 

REBECCA: 

I was asking a legitimate question. The way she talks about her dad makes me worry...who wouldn't? Woman's got to feel safe somewhere.

 

NATE: 

No offense, but does she actually have a personality other than daddy issues and wanting to bang the older than dirt priest guy?


Z-Dog

"No...." 

 

FREYA: 

I have a very interesting personality, thank you, very much! 

She smirked.

And Faustus isn't that old, so shush. (she teased)

 

CIN

Um, he's at least 500, isn't he?


PENRYN

I mean, he looks 40.


CIN

But she's in her 20's.


PENRYN

You married Drepanon, who's stupid-thousand and looks like a well-preserved 38.


CIN

But I don't go round saying he's "not that old".


LUCIFER: 

If memory serves, she's also protective of her brother.

 

NATE: 

Okay, fine, you're interesting.

 

TRENT: 

Hey, George?

 

FREYA nods

Amos is the light of my life...and I love to read, write, and sing, when I can be coaxed to. Far as magic goes, I am not sure yet how strong my powers are, never had the chance to try, but I know I can make the fire animals, I can make things grow, and I am astral project...

 

GEORGE:

 Yes, Trent?

 

TRENT: 

Come hang out with us 😊

 

GEORGE comes and sits between Trent and Nate, kissing the blonde man’s cheek

Love you...

 

NATE clings to George

 

GEORGE: 

Come sleep and cuddle with me tonight. Or I can stay here with you?

 

NATE: 

As long as we're together 💗 I don't like you being so interested by her when I don't have a you to hold 🥺

 

GEORGE: 

nothing could ever steal me away from you, Love...you know this.

 *kisses his forehead gently* 

after all this time of trying to win your affection, I am never going to toss it away.

 

NATE: 

I guess... I just felt lonely and left out earlier. I can't do cool stuff like she can.

 

GEORGE:

 Nate, you ARE cool to me.


Next!
