Prompts

July is going to be wet and wild, villagers. Keep an eye to the sky and hold onto your hats!

1. SAVING FACE - Look at you, trying to save that goat or dog or ZALPACA that's gotten stranded in a particularly nasty storm! You're a regular hero, trudging up that cliffside or swiming across that creek! Unfortunately, the sky didn't get the memo about your heroics, and it's just opened up even more. Finishing this job just got a heck of a lot worse. Good thing someone else just showed up to help both you and your animal pal. You hope. It's possible they're just there to laugh at you.


2. PANTS ON FIRE - You know what's great? When the storm breaks, the skies start to clear and everything looks sunny again. You know what's not? When the weather pushes the LYING MIST down from the mountainside while you're out trying to clean up. Hope you don't have any whoppers you're trying to keep secret!


3. SINK OR SWIM - The days when it's not storming are just beautiful, and the village river is running high. There are spots out of the current that are perfect for a cool dip or lounging on the shore, but take care you don't go out too far and get swept away. Oh, and watch out for the RAINBOW CRABS, those claws are sharp.


4. WILDCARD - Choose your own adventure. Maybe play powers roulette.

Not forgiving Vergil held a lot of sway with Dante and while his face stay pulled in frustrated emotion, he was listening.

"I thought he was fine right up til the end Kat. I thought we were gonna kick ass together. All three of us." But he screamed at Kat, left her behind for the cops and who knows what else. "He betrayed us. On choice.."

Dante shook his head. "I dunno, Kat. I hate how things were left, that we all got the point that we did but how am I supposed to look at him and not see just that?"

[mediumhoodie]

"I did too." She stepped closer, letting Dante know that she was there with him. She wasn't going to leave him alone. "Vergil made his choice but things are different here. He could make another choice... He's even made a friend here."

Kat knew that it was a long shot but she also knew that family shouldn't give up on each other and that's what Vergil was; family.

"It's okay if that's what you see." She'd never ask Dante to change the way he felt. "But I think we should at least give him a chance. Maybe, in time, he can change your mind."

It would be slow but Kat had hope.

"But I, Dante, I want you near." Her eyes locked with his. "For me."

[trailertrash]

As much as he wanted to argue with her, he wanted to erase the fissure between him and Vergil more. His enthusiasm for what they were supposed to have been doing was only dampened under his vast disappointment, hurt and anger, and her words tugged at his chest.

Being told it was okay was more helpful than she knew. His hand tightened around hers.

"Maybe." Something in his chest caught at the rest of her admission. "Then I'll stay. In the house even, if he lets me."

[mediumhoodie]

Kat smiled. "Thank you." She knew that Dante would have stayed for her but she wanted him to stay for himself and his own reasons. It was a chance for him and Vergil to connect and be a family but there was a balance between her own desires and Dante's.

She never liked the idea of people being forced to do something that they didn't want to do.

"You won't be alone. I'll be there." She never planned to leave his side. "If you want, we can talk to Vergil together." It wouldn't make it easier but she'd be there for him; for both of them.

[trailertrash]

He nodded slightly at her thanks and tugged her forward so his free hand could catch her head. It might seem like he was going to try to kiss her, but instead he pressed a kiss into her hair.

"Nah. He and I need to work this out by ourselves. We might fight about it but.. We'll work it out. C'mon," he said, stepping past her and keeping their hands together. "I could use some of that weed. Or painpills or something."

[mediumhoodie]

The warmth of his kiss made her heart flutter and when she pulled away, there was a soft pink tint spreading across her cheeks. Kat couldn't help but smile at him as he walked past her, her hand in his as she padded along at his side.

"I might have a joint." Her smile widened. "They came in a party favor a little while back. I decided to keep it around in case someone needed the relief." It was luck that she still had it.

"If we go to the house. It's there."

[trailertrash]

"There a way in that isn't the front door? Last thing I want is Vergil seeing me like this." Giving Vergil reasons or ammunition to mock him with wasn't on his agenda. Dante smiled down at her as she fell into step. She was pretty. Cute, with that pinch of color across her face.

He liked that he caused that.

"But tell me more about party favors - that mean they have parties here?"

[mediumhoodie]

It wasn't difficult to imagine the look on Vergil's face as Dante staggered up with a handful of broken ribs and a bruised back. It wasn't an ideal scenario for Dante and while Kat felt a little uneasy about sneaking Dante into the house, it didn't sound like a horrible idea.

"You can climb in through my window. If you want too." It might hurt but the option was there if Dante wanted to take it.

Kat's gaze focused on the path in front of them as she continued to answer his question. "Not often but I've been told it happens. I had only been a day or two after I arrived. We got clothes and soap." Among other things. "There was a jukebox and pizza."

[trailertrash]

"Floor level?" Because climbing up the back of the house didn't feel like something his body was going to let him do. If challenged, he'd have to try, but he was hoping for an easier path.

"Jukebox and pizza is all I need.. and beer... and my guns.." Strippers were left out, only because Kat was next to him. If his hand wasn't entangled in hers, he would have grabbed her ass. "You.." He looked over at her, smiling crookedly.

[mediumhoodie]

"Floor level. My room is in the middle on the far side of the house. I can help you through the window if you really want to do that." She paused, glancing over at Dante. "Or we can use the front door." It was very possible that Vergil wasn't even home.

Kat liked talking about what they were going to do, it was easier, like being on one of their missions. But there were no missions here and it was harder to ignore the way that Dante looked at her or the way he made her pulse quicken.

Her blush wasn't going away anytime soon.

"Hopefully we find some of that here." She almost said that she was here but Kat stopped herself.
