❝ history repeats itself. ❞
MEME: RICHARD SIKEN // * currently accepting
THE RED BLOOM of blood that gathers on her forehead has not yet dried fully. it clumps to her hair & screams against the paleness of her skin. the abrasion above her eyebrow threatens to spill into her eyes. she swipes at it with her fingers. ❝ i thought i was supposed to be the pessimistic one. ❞ her tone doesn’t rise above a mutter. something shapeless & black stalks them, a blade that gleams / glints; eager to bury into tender white flesh. they’re ensnared in a BAD SIGN, everything is a bad, bad sign.
it’s not fear that she feels. perhaps it’s delayed, currently smothered by instinct and adrenaline. perhaps she feels more comfortable because she can place herself in the villain’s mind & think logically, navigating about bloodied masses & malicious mind games (a familiar landscape, perhaps?). whatever the reason, clove isn’t allowing sidney to get hurt; she’ll fight tooth & nail, she’ll challenge the killer with her own monstrous side.
they’re granted a moment of rest; but it’s a knife suspended above them by a thin, swaying string. she doesn’t know how long they’re got to catch their breath, to gather a plan of sorts. she has to wipe the blood from her forehead again. ❝ it’s not you sid. this isn’t you; none of this is your fault. & if history does repeat itself, then i’d say dear old ghostface is due for a gunshot to the head. ❞
* STILES STILINSKI.
a bitten smirk flashes ‘pon chapped lips before he finds some willpower to relax his features; he’s being watched, he feels it. “y’think so? ‘cause the guy just caused a literal clusterfuck, clove.” he knows she wasn’t referring to the movie, and hell, even he didn’t catch the last two minutes of the protagonist’s existentialism. “listen, if there was a class in the art of subtlety, he’d be a textbook case of what not to do, you know?”
by now he’s angled himself towards her,impishhues regarding her. brows arch, mostly in challenge, but it could easily be mistaken for nonchalance in casual discussion.
HIS TAUNT hides weakly behind his words; it manifests in a smirk which she does indeed notice, before it quickly contorts into nonchalance. her hands remain motionless atop the pillow, relaxed & limp in their form. she’ll coax him into a falsified condition of security, & strike at the most unexpected moment. her own smirk tugs at the corners of her mouth, which she quickly eradicates.
she turns back to the television lazily, setting back into the sofa’s cushions. ❝ i guess so. though, he does seem like the sort of guy to just accidentally get himself into nasty situations, real nasty situations that he really can’t handle. ❞ she glances at him casually.

❝ CLOVIS… how long have i been asleep ? i don’t even remember beginning to feel tired at all. ❞ @nevermisses
HE CAN ACKNOWLEDGE THE IRONY. he’s the good guy now. the good guy with cold red hands & an ambiguous grasp on humanity. but he’s trying. swiftly, but cautiously he turns toward her. ❝ about an hour. you fell asleep in the car. ❞ his expression softens, his gaze shifts from unfeeling to gentle. his eyes convey the concern he cannot yet express throughwords. the unlearning of detachment takes time. ❝ how you feeling? can i get you anything? ❞
* JOANNA TAYLOR.
STARTER FOR: @nevermisses
Arms are wrapped tightly around herself, it wasn’t exactly cold but it wasn’t cozy either. She’s knocked twice now and she figures she ought to wait at least a minute or two before trying again. Foot taps impatiently, ❝c’mon, open the fucking—❞ voice is quiet, and a deep sigh follows the sentence, a sentence born of frustration and just the tiniest hint of desperation. A breath of relief is exhaled when her friend finally opens the door. ❝—Hey, feel like helping an old friend out tonight?❞ It was the kind of help only someone with a shared history of violence could offer, one Jo knew wouldn’t freak out at the sight of what she’d done. Someone who knew what it was like to only feel in control when drawing blood.
❝ WOULD IT have killed you to call first? ❞ the sarcasm unfurls quickly, though her tone is so apathetic it’s almost undetectable. jo will pick up on it, she’s known her for long enough after all. hand still perched loosely atop the door handle, clove regards her old friend in a fastidious assessment; efficient & brief. the girl is certainly on edge, anxious even; although clove isn’t convinced that the reason behind that is one ofconventionality. there’s bloody smears buried with years of friendship, & clove has a feeling that today it may exhume itself. despite her initial vexation at the late night call, she’s concerned for her friend. ❝ i suppose i could manage it. what’s the problem? ❞
* JENNIFER CHECK.
❝ oh , clove , if i walked in here covered in blood & guts , it would be HIS blood & guts ! ❞ the joke is laughed off , brushed off more like. she lets her cherries purse around the straw , sipping the sapid & appetizing cooler , a small nod being gifted to her as she finishes her suggestion , sapphires alert & impressed. ❝ yeah , it’s one hell of a night. all nights should be girls night. i’m glad i’ve got a biff like you. it’s about time. ❞ hand rests on the other’s , warm & intentional. if there’s anyone she’s crossing off her eat - list ! it’s clove.
A CHARMING VIOLENCE. they probably don’t register the monstrous contradiction until it’s too late. the fangs that suddenly appear in place of a seductive pink smile. the sudden glint of a knife that dances betwixt pretty slender fingers. predators in plain sight. ❝ i have a feeling getting butchered by you might possibly be the best thing that could ever happen to him. ❞ her laugh merges with jennifer’s. it passes simply & without anyrestriction. her hand folds atop her friend’s without hesitation. this is a softness she only permits around jennifer. ❝ every night? sounds like a plan. well i’m glad i’ve got you too. i wouldn’t have a girls night with anybody else. ❞
