starter for @hawkinsjournalist from mike !

nancy had noticed him acting weird—of course she did; she always did. and mike hadn’t wanted to talk at first, just sat in silence with her while the thoughts swirled around his head. she seemed to be waiting on him to say something.
he doubted that she’d actually wait on him for too long. eventually, after enough poking and prodding, she’d take the hint and leave. but here she was, still sitting on the couch beside him in the basement, and after five minutes passed of pure silence between them, mike got the impression that she really didn't plan on going anywhere. it made him a little antsy.
“ el broke up with me, ” he said, finally, voice so low it was nearly a whisper. he’d never voiced it out loud, but now that he had, it almost felt like a RELIEF; a weight being lifted off of his shoulders. “ and— i-i dunno, it’s just… i thought it would feel…worse somehow, y’know ? but… i just— i almost feel… relieved that she finally did it. does that make sense ? or is it, like, i dunno—weird or something…? ” it sure felt kind of weird.

starter for @walkerwhisperer from violet !

she hated that her vision was so shit these days. it was a handicap that certainly wasn’t beneficial to how the world was nowadays. it really was just her luck to end up with such a fate. so much for reading, stargazing… judging her peers from afar… most days she sat around, subjected to louis’ piano playing—and though she would never admit it, she liked it more than he ever deserved to know. and that was after she’d spent weeks cooped up in her bedroom, unwilling to grace the others with her presence.
but she was tired of just sitting around. she was getting antsy and needed to stretch her legs.
the sound of faint footsteps caught her attention, her head snapped in the direction of the sound. her eyes squinted in an attempt to make out the blurred figure, but they were still too far away for her to tell who they were.
“ who’s there ? ” she called, before clearing her throat. she needed something to drink.
starter for @lastedpromise ( aasim ) from ruby !

a sigh passed ruby’s lips as she looked aasim over, brow furrowing in concentration. without a second thought, she reached out to take his chin in her hand, tilting his head to observe the laceration across his cheek.
“ how many times do i hafta tell ya to be careful, huh ? ” she tutted, tone half-hearted. there’s a concerned softness to her words. “ how’d you say this happened again ? ” either way, she knew it had to be cleaned, taking a damp cloth to clean the blood away.
releasing his chin from her grasp, she turned to grab her hand-made chamomille ointment, scooping up a small amount on her index and middle fingers before turning back to face him.
“ now try to hold still; this might sting a li’l but it’ll help. ”
Micah: “Oh, Abigail must be real excited, all packed up like she is.
I can just see her in a little grass skirt…”

ok tumblr, i get it, thank you. i am not shedding any tears.
yes, i’ve made violet half-chinese, and yes, i’ve decided that her deceased grandmother was the one to teach her a little mandarin, but violet has forgotten a lot of it over time from misuse and because she refused to really acknowledge it as she grieved over the loss of her grandmother.
