Ah yes I forgot. Apologies. Then we can keep Brahm

Salvation and Damnation {☆Riven Wight & Shadow Writer☆}

...maybe...

*Grins deliciously*

As for the original plan, whatever it was, I definitely wish to alter it and avoid it being a love triangle plot! I'm all for continuing with the Ruby, Alex and Vander, but I did wish to ask... How would you feel if Brahm became... Noel?
(Name is not set in stone lol)

It would alter things a bit, but I feel like as it stands things aren't where either of us truly like them. If you're okay with me altering Brahm into Nicky (no that doesn't sound right either), this is my revised plot proposal.

Ruby and Alex have had some supernatural encounters through the years though actually getting concrete proof has been futile. So as a hobby they started the Washington Ghouls Group, though it's always just the two of them. So there's some background with it, but nothing that screams "Holy shit we're ghost hunting!" They still have their same jobs, same lives, everything is perfectly normal besides some spooks they encounter (and well, the fact Ruby was saved by a ghost lol)

Vander eventually encounters them and joins the group, perhaps concealing his vampire nature and his past. Once he joins, supernatural stuff comes at them from all sides. Ghosts, demons, mermaids, vampire, hell even Annabelle 2.0 maybe lol
They start getting further and further engrained into supernatural society, helping to preserve normal life for all those they love and care about.

After some time, encounters with various supes, maybe even a face off or two with Parker and his gang who just straight up want to kill all supes. That's then we introduce Natasha (maybe I don't knowwwwww) who also conceals her identity and tries to get close to Alex. Perhaps that doesn't work, and when Nicolette (honestly don't hate that one) is down in the dumps, Ruby decides to go for it. I do like the idea of her having the personality of Nicole's (eh) first wife's personality, and the two falling for each other. Perhaps after an especially rough battle against a werewolf that's when they realize they can't go on just being flirtatious. They need something more... Real.

Of course, Nicolette (yeah I think that's the one) will still be giving Vander shit cause... Well, Brahm was originally supposed to be cocky. Nicolette will probably be the same, just more calculating.

I don't know, what do you think though?

Also I definitely like the idea of ruby getting saved by a ghost because it goes with the idea of a supernatural hunter society, run by the supernatural or those influenced by it.

Salvation and Damnation {☆Riven Wight & Shadow Writer☆}

Hehehehehe... *Sneaks in and placed down milk and Oreos*

Creepy weird reentrance aside, I see we were discussing how we could continue the role play. Alex's appearance is indeed reincarnation, but I have an idea for the continuation of our baby.

We turn this into a supernatural hunter society type RP with elements of romance. Help the good supernatural creatures, kill the bad ones, perhaps even send spirits to the greater beyond with the help of the voice of salvation.

Thoughts?

No I decided I want to keep Rose around a bit longer! She'll play more of a shaow roll for now but I have plans though... great, evil plans! All I'll say is Rose has waited for Alex to be well within her grasp for 22 years and 3 months. Now that she is, well, she'll want to have some 'fun' before she goes in for the kill.

Not really since Rose has always paid Alex VERY well and Alex is a super saver. So she'd be able to afford an upscale place near the bar without a doubt. Plus... it may or may not be discounted as it secretly belongs to a red head whose name rhyms with pose! I definitely like holding off on the circus though as it could lead to a scene of Alex and Vander on the ferris wheel! *screeches in happy fangirl*

We could time skip through that and go to a scene of Ruby doing Alex's makeup before karaoke. Or perhaps even Ruby coloring Alex's hair after they get back from the mall! But I was thinking of a scene where Alex just gets super vulnerable and opens up about what she found out about her bio parents, how it's affecting her, and that she didn't want to hide it any longer. That she just wanted her bestie to know more than anything else and that she's scared that her 'light' is going out.

Alternatively before that scene later at Alex's place we could have Alex and Vander meet at a store, Ruby across the store taking the phone call about the fire while Alex is changing clothes. In that moment she walks out asking Ruby what she thinks and it's just Vander there, wide eyed after hearing her voice. To which Alex just slowly closes the door and has a silent panic attack as a good-looking man just witnesses her in the "revenge outfit" all whilst Vander is wondering why this girls voice is so captivating.

Thoughts?

It really is! We just need everyone to get electric self driving cars so no one is driving and everyone is safe behind the wheel!

Haha I definitely see where it could be interpreted that way! So no need to feel like a goof in this situation! ^_^

Salvation and Damnation {☆Riven Wight & Shadow Writer☆}

I really hope you found Nikkocado in this search! The man is just... a beautiful disturbing mess. But nah, you shouldn't be worried at all because in the end when I play vampires all I want to wat is Bleu steak lmao!

Yeah in NY state I swear there's no rules. It's just madmax fury road throughout the whole state!

Exactly! You get me! x3

Haha no it's all good I can completely understand where the question came from as I also have a tendency to overthink things haha!

Okay, she had to admit, the sight of Ruby nearly following her own milkshake mishap was almost worth the burning sensation in her nose. Almost…

“Hey, it’s not my fault you have an easy humor!”

"Mmmm… I'll give you that. I'd probably get kicked out of a comedy club since I'd laugh so much!" Alex offered with a gentle smile, always a sucker for Ruby's puppy pout. At her friend's mention to replace her shirt she shook her head, waving to a few more older men who left the bar. Now all that was left were a few stragglers from the group, mostly a few men trying to help another man get up who ended up passed out on the table. Not because he was drunk, no, this man was a regular and so she knew all too well he was narcoleptic. She was surprised he had lasted this long tonight!

"Don't worry about it Ruby, it's ancient anyways. Just put things into perspective!"

At the mention that men, sober men even, looked her way Alex couldn't help but blush. Did she truly just not look when they were looking? Was she truly that oblivious? God, if that were the case, she really needed a wing woman it seemed then. Pouring out her glass of deliciousness, she began washing and wiping it down as she wondered just how hot her cheeks could even become.

"Well then it seems I need a wing woman in this situation or else I'll end up as an old maid! I'm already twenty-two Ruby, practically at spinster age! And it's been…"

Alex stopped herself, not wanting to reveal how long it had been since she had last held hands with a man let alone shared a night with one. She couldn't help but be worried as she noticed Ruby's frown, had she missed something in the conversation? Had she done something wrong? What on eart-

“Like I’d ever say ‘no’ to that?”

Alex smiled in relief as she realized she hadn't been so absorbed in thought that she had missed something important, chuckling as she saw the excitement on Ruby's face as she spun in the barstool. This alone was worth the pain of a full makeover.

But as she stopped Alex knew that Ruby was in full makeover mode at this point. Surely she was contemplating what outfits to put her in and the like, and her seriousness at the mention of being sober just reinforced the idea in Alex's mind. The idea of getting smashed after a wonderful day together was certainly appealing, and perhaps a few drinks would even help her with enjoying singing like she used to. Alex contemplated the idea as she stared at the paper Ruby placed in front of her.

"I agree to these conditions with a few of my own. No piercing anything with an exception of my ears and nose, no tattoos, and no extensions. Everything else is fair game. With that you get my stamp of approval!"

With a grin Alex took her thumb and mimed her usual response to Ruby; with her unusually sharp canine she pretended to pierce into her thumb, stamping her thumb print into where the paper would have been. It was more for show than anything, but it always got a laugh between the two of them which was what she aimed for.

"So you're still spending the night at my place right? I mean, I'm really craving Chinese and I cannot get it without you!"

No it was perfect! Honestly gruesome vampire murders are mode my style anyways! I want my vampires to look like they just went through a spicy noodle mukkbang challenge rather than them appearing as if they had ultimate table manners at a five star restaurant lol

See I just have a thing called "fear of giant death metal machines" that prevents me. I'm slowly getting over that though.

Nah descriptions are the bread and butter of a writers skills! I'm all for it honestly! Sometimes though my imagination gets lazy and I just like tot have an image lmao

I honestly can't remember what it came from if anything, but it's just nostalgic for me at this point!

Haha fair enough! A spin can be a literal bar trick but in this sense it was referring to Alex putting her own ideas into this drink to make it more her own! Though now I am imagining her juggling the drinks and doing spin moves lmao

Alex couldn’t help but giggle as she saw her friend lap up the mountain of whipped cream she had placed upon her drink. Every time whipped cream was on a drink it was like Ruby turned into a kitten, lapping it up before licking off her dairy based mustache. The thought had crossed her mind a few times to order a pair of cat ears for her but she knew in the end those ears would merely wind up atop her own head. But all thoughts were put aside when she saw Ruby's smile, the clear enjoyment in her eyes making Alex beam with pride.

Bartending brought her joy as it made others smile. The cheer that lit up their eyes whenever she thought of a new concoction made her heart warm. It brought her the same joy as singing did, though unlike her bartending for some reason Alex had never considered herself anything other than above average. Others told her she was exceptional, that she could sign a record deal with a voice like hers, but she could never believe it. Perhaps that stemmed from the letter she had been given a few years ago. Maria and Tom Montague, these were the names of her birth parents. Upon her 18th birthday her parents gave her a letter that had been left for her for this very day.

It was clear they had loved her… So why had they given her up? It wasn’t hard to figure that out as it seemed her parents had been in a rock band together. Maria had been the lead singer while Tom had been the drummer, their band had been called Undead Symphony. Years of partying had led the band to be known for their reckless abandon and general chaos, but one day her mother and father had just disappeared.

Article upon article had documented their disappearance, no one knew where they had gone or if they were still alive. In the end though they were found, though the circumstances were far from ideal. The last articles she had found detailed their grizzly murder, how they had been involved in a train accident though they had been dead long before they had even gotten into the car. Their bodies slashed to bits, drained of their blood before they had been loaded into their car and driven onto the train tracks. The only way the two had even been identified was because both Tom and Maria had their names tattooed onto one another.

But it was clear as soon as Alex had found their albums that she had come from two musically gifted individuals. After that though Alex had built up a wall between how she truly sounded and what she thought she sounded like. She continued to sing since it brought others joy but each note that rolled off her tongue sounded slightly off, each syllable wasn’t as crisp as her mothers were. She was too raspy, too soft, too loud, too breathy, too nasally, too- there were a million different reasons she couldn’t think of herself as a good singer.

It kept her in a state of constant disappointment in herself, that she would never live up to her parents legacy. But she couldn’t share that with Ruby or her parents, she didn’t want them to worry. She only wanted to show them the bright parts of herself, the shining part of herself that she felt like right in this moment.

“You had me at ‘revenge outfits!’ It’s about time you got something nice for yourself!”

Alex couldn't help but chuckle, knowing that her bestie was probably right on this one. It had been at least a year since she had updated her wardrobe, though she reckoned it had probably been far longer than that. But in her eyes if something fit and it didn't have unintentionally placed holes in it, it was still a good article of clothing to wear. But some of her clothes she had patched on numerous occasions… Perhaps it was time to pull out some of her savings for this trip to the mall.

"Jeez has it really been that long since we last went on a shopping spree together? I guess my savings do reflect that!" Alex said with a laugh as she poured herself a glass of the delicious shake, drinking it down and feeling the light burn trickle down her throat. Sipping on her drink she waved goodbye as a few patrons stumbled their way out, a few older men still nursing their beers as they talked about what golfing range they'd go to the next morning.

“I’ll have to double check to see if he’s going this weekend. Parker said it’s here all month. If he isn’t, well. Revenge outfit practice run for karaoke night!”

Alex couldn't help but smirk as she heard Parker's name, raising her eyebrows with which she waggled playfully. Of course the gesture was all in good fun but Alex had met the kid a few times, he genuinely seemed kind and had the hots for Ruby too. She wondered if in the end Ruby's rules would break first or if Parker would work elsewhere in order to circumvent her steadfast ultimate rule. Either way, she hoped the two would end up trying it out. They seemed like they'd make a cute couple.

“Either way, we rule, Tom drools!”

Alex was mid sip when she heard that come from Ruby's mouth, the delicious goodness ending up coming out of her nose as she couldn't help but attempt to laugh. Grabbing the nearest dish rag she cleaned up the mess, her cheeks redder than a tomato as she caught some of the old men chuckling at her.

"Okay we gotta make a rule that you can't be funny when I'm drinking! But secondly…"

Alex paused as she looked down to her shirt, realizing there was no way she was going to get the stain out this time.

"It's been a while since I had any man truly drool over me. Well, any man who's not a sleazeball anyways. Maybe… maybe it's time to get a complete makeover. What do you say Ruby? You want to play Extreme Makeover: Zom edition?" She asked hopefully, both nervous and excited at the mere mention of getting a revamp. After all, it was a big step outside of her comfort zone but maybe it was time for a change. Maybe it'd help her find some inner peace from the turmoil she felt as well.

Still can't find the image for Lacey but I'm still digging!

But I just saw this movie called barbarian where the main cast ends up renting an air bnb at the same time and I cannot stop thinking of this vine!



So now my brain has gone through a whole scene of the Vander and Alex being roommates! xD
