it was exciting to feel again, sure she'd felt emotions after the merge but they all seemed to have a blur over them. now it felt as if the world was clearer, josie could see the things so clearly missed before. such as the kaya looked as she blushed from the siphoners touch. the rush of excitement seemed to pulse through her whole being. as they began to sway to the music, josie tilted her head at the comment. a small smile creeping on her lips as she thought of the things hope might say about her. probably never mentioning the trip to europe and how that ended. "umm well i work at NOMA, so i get to see a lot of art daily. it was the one thing that kept me going after losing lizzie. i'd just get lost in paintings and decided if that was what made me happy, i might as well try it out." pausing, the siphoner smirked. "you draw right? maybe one day i can take a look?"
Kaya had been fortunate enough over the years to never lose anyone close to her. She assumed, rightfully so, that the process could really and truly change a person, down to their bones. With all the dead coming back to life, she was curious about how many changed family members and friends they were returning to, how fraught those relationships must be, but how good, too.
"That's really good," Kaya commented, having a hard time navigating a topic she didn't truly understand. "You deserve to be happy." As the song turned slower Kaya returned the girl's glance. At Josie's hands on her waist she felt a shock of excitement. Though the demon knew she liked girls, she didn't really have that much experience with them outside of friendship. Even the mere touch sent blush scattering over her cheeks. She felt warm, and not just from the alcohol. "Yes, definitely," she said, placing her hands on the girl's shoulders. The two swayed to the slow music. "So," Kaya started shyly, "I guess I don't really know that much about you, other than all the nice things Hope's said. Which, just to clarify, is a lot."
josie laughed softly at mavi's comment, it wasn't something she could relate to until tonight. for the past three years, the siphoner shut that part of her off. losing lizzie was far too much and because of it she lost all ability to love. but now that her twin was back from the dead and she stood watching couples as they danced with glee, she began to understand that longing. "well you are sorta right, i mean tonight we could do whatever we wanted and it's all because we are single." shrugging her shoulders, she looked to the other. "what's your type? maybe we can set you up with someone."

She sat at one of the many tables, lucky enough to get one that was vacant - which surprised her seeing as how many people were here. "New Orleans parties are on hell of a thing," she mused to herself, resting her chin on the palm of her hand. "God I hate being single," she groaned, "it's so... boring"
the boy before her seemed more worried than most while shopping at the farmers market. normally, people were care-free knowing that it was the last few hours before heading back to the working week. taking a small package of blueberries out of her bag, she then handed them over to charlie with a grin. "here you go, i bought a lot of them earlier. planning on making some type of cobbler but i got way too many so i'd rather them not go to waste."
giving the other another glance, she realized why he looked so familiar. "are your parents hayley and elijah?"
Charlie looked down at the piece of paper that had his father's shopping list on it. Blueberries weren't on the list. He had been told to stick to the list and only the list. "I'm sure," he replied, as he surveyed the items he had gathered.
He knew that the blueberries weren't on the list, but he couldn't resist the temptation. "I'll keep that in mind for next time, but it's for my father. He won't mind if I don't pay full price," he responded with a shrug of his shoulders as he grabbed his order and started to put it into his backpack. "Maybe I'll have to try the blueberries next time," he thought to himself, already planning his next excursion to the store.
josie wasn't normally one to be out in society, often finding herself at home with a good book, or some new gripping television show, but it was a hot day and being near water felt like the perfect getaway. setting out her towel, she placed all her belongings neatly around, before going to grab a drink with a book in hand. by the time she came back, a piña colada in one hand, her sigh covered by the book. unaware of her surroundings, the siphoner sat on someone else's blanket, only to be sucked deeper in the story she read.
it wasn't until an annoyed voice rang in her ears, that she realized she wasn't with her things. looking around with wide eyes, she quickly got up, her cheeks flushing as she apologized. "oh, i'm so sorry, i uhh wasn't paying attention. i got sucked into this book and must've sat on your towel. i'm not wet so it shouldn't be soaked or anything."

the water felt so refreshing, the cool sensation hitting against the new hybrids skin. she felt at peace, the first time in the last month where she had truly felt at peace. everything became an overwhelming feeling and something she had never wanted. she was happy as just a wolf, she could control that just about and now, now she felt as if she had taken five steps backwards. but the swim, it was helping her, everyone of her senses just focusing on the water. the sounds, the feeling, it felt good. finally getting out of the water, an hour after she started her swim, there was a small roll of her eyes for a brief moment. “do you mind, you’re sitting on my towel.” she almost snapped at the person. the sense of calming she had fading almost instantly. god, maybe she should just live in the water and as far away from society as she could.

I never wanted this, but after a while… I just felt… I just felt like it fit. Like I was meant to be.
josie blushed softly at kayas compliment, a warmth rushing through her body as they continued to dance. they'd seen each other often, kaya had a an odd relationship with hope due to who their parents were. something that the siphoner decided to stay out of, but she also enjoyed the others company. a lot of people their age, simply watched the trio exsist and stayed on the sidelines. something she completely understood because the bond was pretty scary. yet, she longed to be out of the codependency of it all. wanting to have her own type of life where she could be completely herself. "thanks, with lizzie back it just doesn't feel like that part of me is missing anymore. it's like i can start over and experience something other than grief."
the confession felt so weird to say out loud, the music turning into a slower song. with wide eyes, josie looked for any signs that kaya wanted out and couldn't seem to notice one, so instead she placed her hands on the others waist and smiled. "would you still like to dance?"
"You too! I mean, you look beautiful too." Why was Kaya so nervous? Or maybe she was just tipsier than she thought. Now all she could think about was whether or not her hands were too clammy. "It's nice to see you, and you seem like you're doing really good." Kaya had often felt like an outsider with the twins and Hope, their close knit family bond was great, and she'd never wanted to intrude on their time together. Now that she and Hope had become good friends, however, maybe there was space now, to befriend Lizzie and Josie a bit more, as well.
the fool card // upright: innocence, new beginnings, free spirit // reversed: recklessness, taken advantage of, inconsideration
that's not right, there's a person behind those eyes. that's not right, any crack is a sign of lies. that's not cool, everybody needs a fool, i'll be your fool -- djo fool
eleanor has always held an innocence that often, gets her into trouble. still because of that trait, she also has been able to make wonderful opportunities for herself, such as, her book deal. all of that potential was cut short, when she was killed in a tragic accident. however being in new orleans, means that being dead isn't always permanent. meaning new beginnings for the un-trigged werewolf. now that she is back from the grave, she has decided to take this opportunity to live a life that she won't regret. allowing her free spirit to shine brighter.
yet, it can't all be that picture perfect. with the evil lurking the streets of new orleans it's only bound to start up eleanor's recklessness. for someone who holds such empathy it's easy for her to be taken advantage of. one of her darker traits, is that when on a mission she can become inconsiderate, is it possible that eleanor can break free of whatever inadu has in store for her?
gabriela couldn't help but give hope a soft smile, she was always unsure of how to greet the demon, most likely due to the odd relationship between hope and tyler. they didn't blame hope for feeling such animosity towards their husband, but also felt the need to defend him each time. the balance provided a weird balance for the whole mikaelson-lockwood clan. however, now that she was in the faction, gabbi grew closer with hayley and tolerated klaus. shaking her head softly, she then nodded in agreement. "you can call me gabbi, by the way and you're right these dresses have a lot of fabric. i've always been a fan of a nice satin slip dress, feels nice against the skin, easy to get off...." her voice got lower, realizing that she was not in the presence of someone her age. sure, hope knew all about the birds and bees, but being a mom meant that not everyone felt comfortable speaking on the topic. clearing her throat, the demon took a sip of their champagne and smirked. "don't tell your mom i said that."
PAYING ATTENTION TO ANYTHING but the massive amount of fabric that the tribid had to currently mange to walk in, was proving to be a tad difficult. dainty hands, were gripping the corners of her dress, she'd glided her way through the many interested parties with promises of saving a dance or twelve for those that asked ( with no intention of delivering of course ) an ocean colored gaze, looked around, taking hold of a champagne flute, she allowed one side of her gown to drop. only coming to a sharp halt as she lightly slammed into someone else, the person appearing unfamiliar for a moment, before her gaze focused. " oh.. gab... mrs. lockwood? " their families weren't close ⸺ in fact her friendship with kaya was merely a few years old, and while she held the hellhound in high regard the history between families was a bit too dense to ignore. " still learning to navigate this thing. " she mused with an awkward laugh. " should have asked for an INSTRUCTION manual before wearing it. "
