Michelle tilted her head silently while he spoke. She figured she already really knew the answer of why he had chosen her. It wasn’t hard to tell that they were similar. They always had been… even before the battles and near death experiences, and everything else they had been through together. Way back when she was only a kid, she had been a manipulative little s**t who thought she knew how to play the game. He had played it with her… maybe they were still playing it. It wasn’t hard to think so. They were always dancing around each other like some creepy ballroom display, and they were always hunting for something to give them meaning.


The silver haired snake’s head nodded slowly at his initial statement. She wasn’t sure she always knew it, but he had always drawn her to him like some deranged magnet, and she had always gone willingly. They were alike, just as much as they were different from everyone else around them. Michelle couldn’t help but snort at the mention of Ronyo though. That boy had always had a habit of getting in the way and ******** people up… all in the name ‘righteousness’ no matter how misplaced he was. "He always did like to play hero… even when we didn’t need him there. And then he had the audacity to think he was right when he nearly killed you." Her eyes narrowed at that memory. Ronyo liked to pretend he was the justice bringing hero of the story, and yet he had nearly killed Tay, and the amount of times he almost got her killed almost out numbered the times Tay had nearly gotten her killed. Which was saying something… since she and Tay tended to get into dangerous situations far too often.


"You know…." She paused suddenly. She wasn’t sure if she had ever actually mentioned this secret to Tay. Not that it was much of a secret, more just an observation she had made that Ronyo had never realized she made. "That idiot White Fox was Ronyo…. Not that the idiot would ever admit it… but it was rather obvious after awhile… not to mention Grace confirmed it for me…" Michelle shook her head and rolled her eyes. "He really liked to be the center of attention didn’t he?" She snorted at the idea of Ronyo being anything but a bug on the windshield of her life. She was thrown off guard by his next question though.


She tilted her head and thought about it for a moment. Any normal person would listen to their best friend when they told her some boy was bad news… but then again Michell had never been normal. "Ada always played on the safe side of the street. She still does really…. She has never understood what we have. Even now when she has Chris and her kids. Its not the same." She paused, thinking her next words through. "Ada and her family did a lot for me and my sisters, and I will never be able to repay them for that, but despite all that, she could never understand the world I grew up in…. she always thought if I just tried harder I could be like her…" She shook her head with a sad smile. "Sometimes I wish she had been right… but she wasn’t. So no I didn’t listen to her, because she didn’t understand. You did. You were the only one who ever understood." She tilted her head and shrugged. Even after all the things they had done… and the things Tay had done behind her back, she still stuck around. She still wasn’t scared. She wasn’t stupid, she may not be able to read his mind, but Grace’s mind she could read… and the vampire had figured out who had actually killed her parents years ago and never said a word. Michelle knew Grace was only trying to protect her from more heart break, but by the time she found out Tay had been the one to do it, so much else had happened, and her aunt and uncle were just a distant memory to her. She had forgiven him for that, without him ever knowing she knew. At least… she didn’t think he knew she knew. She pushed that thought off with the rest of her ponderings, and offered him a smile. He was talking about his ghostly family members and she almost snorted again.


"Star-crossed…. Now that is a description I can get behind." She muttered with a roll of her eyes. "Destined to be together, destined to ruin each other… sounds about right. How many times have we almost gotten each other killed now? " She shook her head with a smile. "No matter… if Ada’s warnings, and your ability to collapse buildings under me and other such deadly endeavors, and literally going insane didn’t scare me of… I don’t think a lonely ghost’s ridiculous prophecy about destiny could."



ஐSomewhere in the εи∂ of all this нατεஐ
ஐThere's a ℓιģнταнεα∂ஐ
ஐ ṡøмεωнεяε in the end we're all ιиṡαиεஐ

Don’t wanna feel where’s the past.

Shoving his hands into the pockets of his hoodie, Gerard strolled down the streets of East End. It was one of his usual haunts, as his family would never look for him here. It was a little place he could escape to when the manor was just too much for him. Though, thinking that way the better question would be, when was the manor not too much for him. Gerard honestly hated living there and the only reason he had stayed this long was because of his sister. If not for her he definitely would have found a job in a muggle town and kiss the problems of the wizarding world good-bye.That was the curse of being a caring older brother.

So here he was walking the streets alone, hoping something exciting would happen. Or at least something to distract him from his thoughts. Though, he strongly doubted that the universe would be so kind.

Cause I’m fast enough to get in trouble,
but not fast enough to get away
I’m old enough to know I’ll end up dying
And not young enough to forget again
It’s all a fickle game
Oh it’s all a fickle game we play.

spaceNot for the first time, Lil was regretting going with Jojo to her band practice. She didn't dislike the music exactly (even if it was a little... metal, for her taste), but after a while in such a closed space, it started to make her head hurt. And it was too cold outside for them to practice with the garage open, which meant that she'd spent a couple of hours in a very tight space with a lot of very loud, abrasive music. After a while, she'd had to ask if Jojo minded if she went... well, literally anywhere but there. She'd offered to summon the Knight Bus to take Lil home, but she'd declined the offer. She wanted to spend some time with Jojo and the other girls after practice wrapped. She liked them. She just... also wanted very badly to be able to hear herself think from now until then.

spaceThe East End wasn't exactly the sort of place Lil liked to frequent all on her own, but she didn't have much choice in the matter right now. She guessed she could've gone upstairs to Cici's flat, but the idea lacked a lot of appeal. Mostly because Cici was a hippie earth child witch who had no telly or computer. And her book selection left a lot to be desired as well. She'd decided it was better to brave the cold, and the less-than-reputable streets, in the interest of finding something to do. Maybe she'd wander her way over to the shopping district and poke around some stores. She had some money on her, not much, but enough that she could reasonably justify getting a cute scarf or something.

spaceOf course, there was something to be said for trusting your instincts. She'd been walking along for probably fifteen minutes when she got the distinct sense that she was being followed. A couple of glances over her shoulder revealed that there was, indeed, someone behind her. She tried to tell herself she was being paranoid, but it certainly didn't feel that way. She was just chiding herself for thinking the worst of people when she heard footsteps approaching, fast. She had no sooner turned around than the guy was on her, his hand grabbing at her purse and yanking it from her shoulder.

spaceBewildered and more than a little scared, it took her a moment to register what had happened. "Hey! Get back here with that, you wanker!" she half-shouted, half-growled, taking off after the man. Unfortunately, she wasn't dressed for this; a skirt and heels was not the best thing to be wearing when chasing after a purse thief. "Can someone please help me? That d**k stole my purse!" she yelled, managing to throw exasperated looks at the handful of people she was passing while she tried (and failed) to catch up to the arsehole that was making off with all of fifteen pounds... and a couple hundred dollar's worth of makeup! If she caught him, she'd bloody well kill him.

At the screams of the girl just a few yards in front of him, Gerard quickly regretted asking for something exciting to happen. This was definitely not what he meant, and he knew that the Universe knew that and was still deciding to f**k with him anyway. Thankfully for Gerard, the loser was coming right in his direction so at least he wasn't really going to have to run to much. As the guy ran towards him, Gerard began running towards him, hoping that the guy was too distracted trying to get away from the girl to even notice the 6 foot 3 male dashing towards him.

As he got closer, Gerard tackled the guy to the ground with the guy hitting the ground with a sickening thud. That would probably hurt in the morning. So Gerard decided to make it hurt just a bit more, so that the guy might understand that he shouldn't do stuff like this anymore, and pulled his right fist back before swiftly punching the guy's nose. The guy shouted in pain, lifting his hands to his nose and Gerard used that opportunity to grab the purse." 'Ought not do that again, right?" He said standing up and getting off of the thief. "Get outta 'ere ya tosser. Or you'd be gettin' another slug." The guy seemed to be thoroughly intimidated, which Gerard was honestly pretty surprised about. Only thing intimidating he really had going for him was his height, suppose it had to come in handy at some point. After he was sure the guy was gone he made an effort to find the victim, which wasn't too hard since she was still coming this way. So Gerard held out her purse, usual poker-face on. " 'Ere ya go. 'Ope nothin' is broken."

but not fast enough to get away
I’m old enough to know I’ll end up dying
And not young enough to forget again
It’s all a fickle game

spaceLil was just starting to run out of breath when, far ahead of her but not so much so that she couldn't see, a guy in the crowd took off after the purse thief. She slowed somewhat, grinning ear to ear as she watched the guy catch up to the thief, tackle him, then punched him for good measure. Oh, her day was officially looking up! Her only regret was the fact that it was winter and she was way too bundled up to look appropriately cute for the situation at hand. She didn't look like trash, of course, she never did, but she was dressed for the weather and her coat, as cute as it was, covered up basically the entire rest of her outfit. Oh, well.

spaceShe caught up to the pair as her savior (or her purse's savior, anyway) told the guy to get lost, which she would've been annoyed over if she wasn't too busy being super impressed. A small distant part of her mind knew she should probably argue against just letting the guy go, since he was a thief and all, but she had no desire to sit through the process of giving a statement or anything like that. And he looked spooked, so maybe he wouldn't steal anything after this? Yeah, that's what she was gonna go with.

spaceThe purse savior, meanwhile, was attempting to return the aforementioned object. She gave him a winning smile, fluttering her eyelashes a bit. "Oh, I'm sure it's fine," she said, voice breathy. It was mostly from the running, of course, but whatever. She did hope that slowing down and leaving the guy to handle the situation had given her complexion enough time to even back out, though. She tended to get splotchy when she ran. "That was some tackle. Very macho," she told him. "And, uh, thanks, obviously. I'm Lillian." She took her purse and held out her hand. Later, she might be annoyed if there was anything broken (all that expensive makeup, after all), but for now she was going to enjoy having a (pretty handsome) knight in shining armor who'd come to her assistance. Of course, given her luck, he was probably gay. But you missed 100% of the shots you didn't take, after all.

Gerard shrugged as the female took her purse from him, once his hands were free he shoved them back into his pockets. He had forgotten his gloves...well to be fair he had actually lost one again so he didn't really have a pair anymore and it was really cold. " 'S no big." He began with a shrug. It really wasn't, honestly Momo could have put up a better fight than that guy had. " Just glad I could 'elp. Nice ya meet ya Lilian. 'M Gerard."

He glanced in the direction that the thief had run off towards before looking back at Lilian. "You goin' anywjere 'round 'ere? I could walk ya, so ya don't get mugged again," He suggested. East End wasn't the....safest and with that the female was wearing, it was pretty obvious why she was targeted. She looked like someone with money. He would know, he would know. At least she dressed better than Regina, who while stylish looked as if she were constantly changing outfits based on what time of day it is and where she was going. Gerard thought it was a bit ridiculous.
