he doesn't enjoy conducting conversations that hold weight from behind the safety of his desk. it gives an illusion of power that's very quickly slipping out of his shaking hands. instead, he sits comfortably at a table in the training area of the biomedical wing, practicing suture techniques on synthetic flesh because one can never be too confident in their skills.

MEMEPROMPT : oc emoji asks
[ 🍀 CLOVER - does YEJIDE believe in luck? are they lucky? ]
kind of? yejide doesn't believe in luck exactly, but they do believe that sometimes things happen for a reason, and that the best thing to do is to just let it happen. he wouldn't attribute the recent mercy things to bad or good luck, but rather just Things That Happened and it was out of their control. they do believe in karma more than they do luck, which is why he tries to do good always to have some of that returned to him, whether that be in the form of good luck or something else. at the end of it they're a math person and luck is just statistics dressed up all pretty so 🤷
[ 💡 LIGHTBULB - is YEJIDE a planner? do they write down every small detail or just wing it? ]
absolutely no planning in the yejide muyiwa household sorry! she prides herself on being a quick thinker, and quick thinkers can't think quickly if they're always relying on pre-planned things. she much prefers the chaos of just winging it and seeing what happens. yejide claims that their best ideas come from having not planned or thought about doing what they want at all. holidays + birthdays are exceptions to this as she wants to make sure that the person they are celebrating is enjoying their day to the fullest. for celebrations, she goes all out with planning months in advance.
[ 📚 BOOKS - how was MAXIME at school? what is their best subject? what is their worst subject? do they have a favourite subject? ]
i can't lie to you max was a supernerd :( he did incredibly well in studies, consistently ranking the highest in his class, and he only really fell off after the death of his parents, after which he struggled quite a bit. over all, his favorite subjects would be biology + chemistry in high school, & biomedical ethics in university. these were also his best subjects. his worst subject over all was anything to do with economics / finance / etc.
[ 💖 SPARKLING HEART - is MAXIME a subtle or a showy lover? ]
definitely more on the subtle side! he's very generous with his affections because he doesn't see the point in hiding them when life is so fleeting (mind you he got divorced for no fucking reason?) however he has a difficult time showing it, especially outside of the comfort of privacy. he's not excessively fond of public displays of affection. shows love through quality time + acts of service and in relationships will do a lot of acts of service as he likes to feel useful. he may not explicitly say he loves you but you will know, and that goes for both platonic and romantic dynamics.
[ 🔪 KNIFE - how does GUINEVERE react to injury / misfortune befalling their loved ones (significant other, family, friends)? do they put themselves at blame? ]
neve's first instinct is to blame herself, especially when she sees it happen, as it did with both her friend & brother. in her mother's case, she blames that on external forces (mercy) because she, in her eyes, had no direct involvement and no influence in changing what happened. neve becomes extremely investigative during these times and will often start isolating herself as she figures it's the best way to 'solve' the 'problem'. spoiler: it isn't.
[ 👖 JEANS - what is GUINEVERE'S go-to outfit? ]
her casual / every-day outfits blend style & comfort! she generally goes for some nice trouser pants and a solid color blouse or turtleneck that works with anything. they also prefer to dress it up sometimes with a statement jacket, coat, or jewelry.

maybe it's just in his nature to be a wet blanket, because he can't find reconciliation in a one grand voucher to a casino. a poor attempt from the executive board to smooth things over and placate agents and civilians alike. part of him hopes it doesn't work, part of him holds out that enough people will see through the fragile facade that it will have no choice but to fall apart. he never relished in destruction, but there would be something satisfying about this. he drinks water like it's whiskey, weighty crystal glass in one hand, and crumpled up voucher in the other. maxime clings to the corner, in an illusion of safety. there is no reason for him to be here if he really doesn't want to, but he still feels that he must watch for his juniors, if not his peers. a field agent approaches, and maxime immediately has the need to change everything about his demeanor, to project the smallest prickle of pain within those closest to ward off others. he does nothing. sighs, sips at his water, and increasingly wishes it was alcohol with every word caine says. " you are a gambler. " plain, succinct. not a no, not a yes, not an admonishment, only an acknowledgement. blue eyes meet blue, searching for true intention and finding nothing. maxime smooths out his voucher but does not hand it over. " i will let you have it under the condition that you try something involving strategy. roulette is a waste of your time and money. "
WHO: Caine Jackson & OPEN WHERE: Dead Lucky Casino
The moment that voucher touched Caine's hands, he took off in search of the casino. He spent his youth wandering from shelter to shelter, hands aching to grasp onto any dollar or morsel of food he could find. To look down at his hand and see such a high number would've done wonders for his childhood self, but now, he felt nothing but the need to gamble with it. Call it greed, a need to give in to his vices once again, or him being a glutton for potential punishment, but he decided to go big or go home.
And it appeared that he was meant to go home. Loss after loss at the roulette wheel meant that the money the voucher afforded him was all but spent, and he was left with nothing but a bruised ego and a bitter taste of defeat on his tongue.
He glanced around to determine his next move, eyes finally settling on a familiar face. He wandered over to their side, ❝Those roulette wheel dudes are fucking scam artists. How do you not land on black 20 times in a row?❞ Caine didn't bother questioning the fact that he chose to place his bets on the same spot even after losing 19 other times. ❝Anyways, you spend your voucher yet?❞

he has dedicated years to determining if it is at all possible to control the mutation received upon successful solaris administration. every time he thinks he's close, an ability such as prudence's appears. by all means, transmutation should be a gift. ( aren't they all gifts ? then why is he seeing more failures, rejections, side effects, and possibly violent deaths ? ) " how have your attempts at managing it gone so far ? "
he's choking. hyperbole. regardless, the tie he wears is suffocating, or maybe it's an approaching panic attack. he hasn't had one of those in years, but anything is possible, clearly. ( the video replays behind his eyelids in full 4k resolution, haunted ) he does what he does best. lies. plasters a smile and talks and talks and tries not to be bothered by how unbothered they are supposed to look, tries not to be unnerved by how easily everything rolls off veronica's shoulders. with every passing day, it becomes more clear that she's much better suited for this position than him. unsurprising, but he's shocked anyhow.
maxime is the picture of cordiality, hands clasped in front of him to stop the tremor. " collaboration, " he echoes, grins hollowly. he's grown accustomed to stalemates and concessions in the name of mercy's greater good, accepted that there are some lines that must be crossed and some that can be simply written over. he's exhausted, frustrated, seconds from playing whistleblower. cowardice reins him in.
voice lowers, if only to ensure that anyone listening wouldn't be able to make much out. " and what of the rumor being passed around ? are you planning on staging a cover-up ? releasing a statement ? my intentions are to conduct further research. it will be easier to do so with the department standing together, rather than apart. "

elegance envelops the agent as she moves gracefully, natural poise exudes from her. amongst colleagues from various spheres of her career, veronica glides through the governor's ball with an air of prestige. despite the lingering weight of recent events that hung over her mind, she maintains an outward façade of composure, giving no indication of the turmoil beneath the surface. to all outward appearances, mercy was flourishing more than ever.
"it's good to see you being so cooperative," she purrs to her fellow head agent, her tone smooth, diplomatic. "if we can maintain this level of collaboration, we should be able to resolve the... desiccation error," she pauses briefly to clear her throat, masking any hint of uncertainty.
veronica smooths down a stray lock of hair at the nape of her neck, a subtle gesture of self-assurance. "i've reassured the board of the kronos lead. they'll be off our case soon enough."

marcus and evelyn lovelace were part of mercy organization from its inception. evelyn in particular was a young researcher in biomedical who was part of the team that made solaris what it is today. a couple years before project genesis, she gave birth to her second child, guinevere. marcus was more hesitant about mercy and decided that it was best for him to raise her and her older brother, elidyr, in seattle while evelyn continued her work in apex city.
when guinevere turned fourteen, marcus was offered a position as a therapist in apex city, and the family was properly reunited. it wasn't surprising when eli joined mercy as a legacy junior agent a couple years later.
neve practically idolized both her parents and older brother and always assumed she'd follow in their footsteps. she excelled in her studies, driven mostly by an eagerness to make them all proud.
she studied journalism and political science before joining mercy as well. eli wasn't shy about being related to her, going as far as to help her train whenever he had the availability. their mother, however, decided it would be best if she stay out of the way of her children, though she occasionally checked up on them when possible and without raising suspicion of favoritism.
during her time as a junior agent, she forged a close bond with an agent who was in the same joining class as eli. both neve and this agent were driven by a shared sense of idealism and a desire to make a strong difference. when it was possible for them, the agent volunteered for project genesis and underwent the solaris treatment.
unfortunately they underwent a practically catastrophic transformation, emerging a changed person. when they'd previously been quite bright and optimistic, they'd become cold, calculating, and ruthless. they were given incredible powers but to neve on the outside, it seemed that it cost them their humanity.
neve began to distance herself from them out of concern for them as well as herself. still, she was chosen to come on what should have been a relatively easy mission that included their (former?) friend as well as elidyr along with another agent.
what should have been a routine recon mission spiraled out of control when the four agents' cover was blown and they were ambushed. off guard and outnumbered, the team were forced to fight for their lives as they fled. guinevere watched as the fourth agent fell dead, and then as their (former?) friend used elidyr as cover for the two of them to escape the immediate fight and find a way out. neve made the split second decision to detonate a cache of explosives they had discovered earlier, allowing them a distraction to escape the carnage, though the mission had clearly been an absolute failure as valuable intelligence was lost along with two agent lives.
haunted by these events, wallowing in blame, and tormented by the knowledge that she was somehow responsible for the death of her brother and another agent, she knew she should have left right then. however, she figured that if she was already so close to graduating from junior agent status, she may as well see it through and take solaris.
yeah... solaris didn't work for her. they waited weeks and it amounted to absolute zilch.
horrified by everything she experienced and disillusioned by project genesis and mercy as a whole, her decision to leave mercy behind and forge her own path was reinforced. she cut ties quickly and started up an anonymous blog regarding apex city as a whole.
also um at some point her mom went missing???? so she's also using what remains of her connections to figure that out.
a year ago, she was given a job interview at apex news network, and was hired as a reporter. she's determined to uncover what the hell is really going on, though she keeps that very much on the downlow as she doesn't want to seem too conspiracy theorist. for now she does her due diligence as a reporter and ex-mercy agent by utilizing what remains of her connection to mercy to get information that will be useful to the network.
