she’s sitting cross-legged on the floor, hands on her thighs, as she lets her eyes screw closed. she’s never been good at this — at clearing her mind — and today’s no exception. ( she’s as close to mastering ASTRAL PROJECTION as she is to smiling at the next person who passes by. ) she might have been self-aware of her own predilection for failure but foreign footsteps stomping into the room certainly aren’t helping matters any. she can’t clear her mind when she’s thinking about how she’d like to stick her foot out and trip whoever’s within range ! which she does, for the record — though she’ll blame it on a cramp if someone tries to give her hell for it. “ for one person, you do a great impression of a herd of elephants. ” eyes don’t even flutter open, irritation evident on her features as she suffers a sigh. “ WHAT DO YOU WANT ? I’M A LITTLE BUSY. ”
rome is leaning against the doorframe, arms folded and his expression reflecting something akin to amusement, as he observes the poor first-year student tripping over her legs on his way to retrieve a forgotten item. the kid’s mouth opens in shock before he hurriedly scurries away ( it must be his first time encountering the beast that goes by the name kit ward ) and rome is certain the youngster is overwhelmed by everything, starting with kit’s vexation & ending with the phoenix manipulating the ground’s vibrations. he almost hopes the floor caves in. “ not what i was going for, but it seems appropriate with this circus performance. ” not everyone is as advanced when it comes to mental magic, but it’s FUNNY to watch kit struggle. rome throws an article of clothing in her direction, watching it land next to her feet. “ new uniforms have arrived. ” about time, too. he’s had enough of his teammates complaining about the unflattering fit of their old ones. it’s not a fashion runway — or in jade and kit’s case, a place to beat the GUINNESS world record of the longest kiss. “ and tomorrow’s practice is now at five instead of four. maybe your ASTRAL PROJECTION can make it. ”
“i knew you wouldn’t resist the FREE FOOD. the way to everyone’s heart is through the stomach– or my irresistible charm.” a slight conceited smirk as she popped a fry in her mouth. whoever said vampires couldn’t ingest food was deadly wrong. she would rather DIE than not being able to indulge in the simple pleasures of life. “go on, it’s free real estate.” pause. “EXCEPT FOR THAT.” quick hand ready to snatch the cup away. “unless you want a literal full mouth of bloody mary.” no, not the gross tomato drink. actual blood from some girl named mary. @arcanasstarters
“ yeah? maybe try something fancier than a happy meal next time —— the irresistible charm doesn’t seem to be working. ” regardless, he reaches into the bag to fish out an especially curly fry, crispy around the edges, and just like that, it’s GONE. even though his body is not entirely agreeing with the two burgers he devoured earlier, he’s at least been pumped full of serotonin. his fingers work to detach the lid from drew’s cup and dips another fry into the pool of blood, the substance resembling ketchup, though unlike it, the blood drips onto his hand. it’s like a good old wendy’s fries & milkshake combination, except it’s mary and not really milk. “ open wide, miss monroe, here comes the airplane. ”

headcanon 001 . when he has hair, he usually likes to experiment with it. it doesn’t last longer than a day or two because he’s a little too loyal to his natural hair, but if he’s in the mood, he’ll go for something bright & exciting.
See, you and I are different. I would never put my fate in someone else’s hands. And that’s why I always win, and you lose. So good luck with your honesty. GOSSIP GIRL (2007-2012)
