Listening to the girl, Jo nodded her head and smiled. “That honestly sounds like it would be such a nice idea. Then you have easy access and a a great way to display everything.” She agreed, already able to see the idea she pictured in her head. “Um, I was just kind of looking for something that was made of a good wood. I’m really not one to do the whole color scheme thing. That would most like be more of something my sisters Beth or Amy would focus on.” She commented, letting her shoulders shrug. “I just need something that, when I spend days at, isn’t going to be completely useless.” Jo explained as she went back to looking at the furniture in front of her. “Um, sure! I’m more than happy to work together on this. Maybe it’ll be a lot faster and I won’t have to make all the decisions on my own.” She laughed.

“something about having another person back you up in a decision makes it so much easier,” bev affirmed, holding out her hand for the other to shake. “i’m beverly marsh.” at the mention of two other sisters, she couldn’t help the curiosity. an only child, && a relief it was simply based off how things were, she still wondered what it’d be like to have siblings. “sounds like you guys at least BALANCE each other out well.” bev warmly quipped, listening carefully to what the other was looking for. “actually, the one i got wasn’t anything super fancy, but i’ve liked it.” the redhead took a few steps down the aisle before pointing out the desk she bought a few weeks back. “i’m not sure what you’re using it for, but i have a computer && printer on it && still have room for a few of my sketchpads.” bev still preferred pen && paper to the art program she had. “but if you’re gonna be sitting a while, i recommend a good chair above anything else.”
below the cut are lyrics of importance from each song, plus a few extras 🐺
001. CONTROL - HALSEY
“the house was awake, the shadows and monsters. the hallways, they echoed and groaned.”
“i'm bigger than my body. i'm colder than this home. i'm meaner than my demons. i'm bigger than these bones.”
002. RUN BOY RUN - WOODKID
“tomorrow is another day and you won't have to hide away. you'll be a man, boy! but for now it's time to run, it's time to run!”
003. WOLVES - DOWN LIKE SILVER
“when i die, let the wolves enjoy my bones. when I die, let me go.”
“oh, the world is dark and i've looked as far as i can see when the years have torn me apart.”
004. THERAPY - ALL TIME LOW
“give me a therapy, i'm a walking travesty but I'm smiling at everything.”
“my lungs gave out as i faced the crowd. i think that keeping this up could be dangerous. i'm flesh and bone, I'm a rolling stone and the experts say I'm delirious.”
“arrogant boy, love yourself so no one has to ; they're better off without you, arrogant boy, cause a scene like you're supposed to.”
005. GUN IN MY HAND - DOROTHY
“why did love put a gun in my hand? ... was it for redemption? was it for revenge?”
006. UNTIL IT HURTS - FRANSISCA HALL
“stir up the beast inside, take me for all I'm worth. touch me until it hurts ... until my body burns, love me until it hurts.”
007. GOD’S GONNA CUT YOU DOWN - JOHNNY CASH
“you can run on for a long time. run on for a long time, run on for a long time. sooner or later god'll cut you down.”
008. PRETTY PIMPIN’ - KURT VILE
“all i want is to just have fun, live my life like a son of a gun.”
“then i woke up one morning didn't recognize the man in the mirror. then i laughed and i said, ‘oh silly me, that's just me.’”
009. REMEMBRANCE - BALMORHEA
( no lyrics, but it be a vibe™ )
010. MY EX’S BEST FRIEND - MACHINE GUN KELLY FT. BLACKBEAR
“you know my ex, so that makes it all feel complicated, yeah.”
“i swear to god, i never fall in love. then you showed up, and i can't get enough of it.”
“first off, i'm not sorry. i won't apologize to nobody.”
011. HURT - JOHNNY CASH
“what have i become? my sweetest friend, everyone I know goes away in the end. and you could have it all, my empire of dirt. i will let you down, i will make you hurt.”
012. COWBOY LIKE ME - TAYLOR SWIFT
“i've got some tricks up my sleeve. takes one to know one ; you're a cowboy like me. never wanted love, just a fancy car.”
“you're a bandit like me. eyes full of stars, hustling for the good life.”
“and the skeletons in both our closets plotted hard to mess this up. and the old men that I've swindled really did believe I was the one. and the ladies lunching have their stories about when you passed through town. but that was all before I locked it down.”
beverly may not have lived under her father’s thumb for quite some time, but the process of learning about herself && getting comfortable with that was ongoing. formal dresses, galas, they weren’t quite her thing yet. bev’s smile in reply was INSTANT. “eh, i feel —” the words pretty silly quickly dropped off at the SINCERITY of his expression. “— thanks.” cheeks rosy as sapphire gaze then took him in fully. “is that a clip-on??” beverly teased before tugging playfully at his tie. real. “well, now i can officially say the same to you.” she reached to straighten his tie && pocket square despite how perfectly placed they already were. “you trying to impress somebody ??”

Ben shouldn’t feel awkward around Bev, especially not after everything they’d been through together, but her not remembering their relationship made him feel like that twelve year old boy that was head over heels in love with her back in Derry. Still, there was no one else that he would have rather spent this event with, so he made his way over to her. “ Hey, Beverly. ” He smiled, taking a moment to look down at her outfit and hoping that the look on his face wasn’t too obvious. “ You, uh… You look really nice. ”

“ So you’re… still in school, then? ” He asked, honestly surprised that the conversation had lasted this long. Still, that must have been a good sign, right? “ Well, something tells me that might be better than the muggle job I’m forced to work. ” Don’t get him wrong, he enjoyed his job, but Draco Malfoy always needed something to complain about. “ I suppose I can agree with that. There are some things that don’t compare, but for the most part the food is decent. ”

“studying at the local uni. biology with a focus on animal science eventually.” animals had always been nicer than people. “too many are going extinct these days. && maybe there’s more out there, waiting to be found or that once existed.” it didn’t matter with whom she was talking to, animals && creatures had always been a passion of theirs, they could ramble for hours. muggle — it felt like a familiar word yet when trying to define it in their head, luna couldn’t. “— well ... what is it exactly ?? but i do agree. it’s always best to do something rather than nothing. keeps the mind sane && in tact.”
while never having a top score on any game, beverly liked to think she was rather decent at a few arcade games. or well, at least she once was. she tended to stick to the classics, like pac-man or frogger. having just turned some cash into game tokens, bev had yet to notice the party until she got a bit closer. at the other’s words beverly chuckled lightly as she turned from the group to ginny. she quite liked, though was always a bit weary of the idea of ever having her own. she wouldn’t want to fuck them up. “i can see that. but no. just came here in attempts to get a TOP SCORE. though, maybe i should wait. with them around they’re bound to kick my ass && that’d then just be embarrassing,” bev quipped.

tendrils of red hair were falling from her ponytail as she made another pass through the party room. if only she could use magic. then maybe she wouldn’t be so overwhelmed with the constant requests from a group of eight-year-old muggle children and their equally demanding parents. she’d just taken out more napkins and paper plates when she noticed someone loitering by the front door. she signaled to them she’d be just a second as she set down the items and hurried over, grateful to be away from the deafening laughter and screams even if briefly. “ hey, sorry about that. things are a little chaotic at the moment. are you here for the birthday party? ” she asked, pushing the stray hairs behind her ear.
this whole evening seemed like a horrendous idea. always such a waste, whether that be food, recourses, or time. it practically mirrored a party at the esteemed president’s mansion. ivywood already made her uneasy, && this only made it worse. all the more so when someone in particular caught her eye —— someone she’d known for years, had studied prior to her own games && worked alongside for the rest. but it was IMPOSSIBLE. capitol mutts — their eyes resembled past tributes but certainly the capitol couldn’t do more ... she hoped. johanna waited until he was alone to approach, immediately defensive, gaze cold. “what are you ?? — who sent you ??” @spcllbovnd / finnick odair.
with the revelation that they were stuck here, more && more of luna’s memories no longer made sense. they were different from some of her peers && from what they were describing their world sounded idyllic && felt right. it explained why strange things happened sometimes ; lights flickering with heighted emotion, unlocking doors with one thought for instance. thoughts paused however when she noticed the other go from seemingly peaceful to distressed. “i promise that book isn’t so awful ... once you get past the first few hundred pages.” they trilled, offering a small yet kind grin. ”you seem upset. i know as a stranger i probably can’t do much, but is there anything i can do to help ??”
@heartsofember ~ Starter for Luna
All Scorpius wanted to do was find his way home. He had a life and friends that he lost coming to this place, like most people. He didn’t even know where to start, or how to do it, but he was hoping that he might actually be able to figure it out. Sitting at a table in the park, his flipped through the book in front of him before realizing he was figuring nothing out, and possibly not even really reading anything. Letting out a breath, his head landed on his arms that were crossed over his book. His head felt like it was swirling and he couldn’t make sense of any of it.
kissed you when i saw you. stared deep into your eyes. i meant to say ' i love you ', but instead i said goodbye. shadows in the city ; i'm a stranger to myself, on these streets i'm someone else. shadows in the city ; like a demon in the dark come to tear us apart.
