Who Wants To Live Forever? [OPEN]
Who: Diva (coloratura) & You!
What: April Catchall & open prompts: Being a menace, as usual. Bridal gowns, bagged milk and maybe murder...
When: Throughout April
Where: Olympia's shopping district, The Redlight district, JJ's house...
Warning(s): Usual warnings for Diva. Will update if necessary. So far she hasn't done...anything too terrible.
CAN YOU HEAR THE BELLS
[Diva's not sure how long she's been staring at the pamphlet she was handed while walking aimlessly through Olympia's shopping district. The words SPRING BRIDAL SALE stare back at her in a golden font, the advertisement littered with pictures of various dresses and rings. The map drawn on the back of the pamphlet is simple enough that she's able to follow it to the boutique in question. She's been standing in front of the shop's display window for at least fifteen minutes now, not having budged an inch as she takes in the sight of a beautiful wedding gown. She seems completely taken with the sight of the dress, but there's something a bit somber about her expression. This was the kind of dress girls got to wear on their wedding day. It was a day she'd never really given much thought to, but now, with a dress like that before her, it's hard not to.
It's not a day she'll ever get to have, she thinks. She's not exactly marriage material, for a number of reasons. For one, she wasn't human. While that might not deter some it did make her pool of selection a bit more narrow. Then there was her immortality. The way she was now, destined to forever be youthful, would put a damper on things if her partner decided to grow old and die on her.
The prospect of living forever has never really bothered her before, mainly because it was never something that crossed her mind. Now though, as she stares at her own reflection in the window, the dress looming before her, it leaves her feeling somewhat uneasy. Lonely. Uncomfortable. A few steps and she brings herself closer to the glass to inspect her appearance. She pokes at her own fangs with a finger, suddenly conscious of how the tips like to peek out past her upper lip. Her nose is small and petit, in contrast to her big, bright blue eyes. From what Diva can tell, she looks like most other girls, even though she knows she's not. Fingers move from teeth to hair as she brushes them through the long, dark strands that fall past her hips. It'd be much easier to manage if she cut her hair, like Solomon had suggested, but she wouldn't ever do such a thing.
Besides, long hair was prettier.
Without realizing it, her nose is almost pressed to the glass of the window, as if doing so will help her get a better look at the dress in question. The longer she looks at it, the more disheartened she feels. She shouldn't care about something as silly as a wedding and yet...knowing she won't ever have one digs at her in a place she didn't realize existed.]
It isn't fair...
[All girls are allowed to pine for romance, it seems, even a girl like Diva.]
BAGGED MILK - CLOSED TO JJ'S CR/HOUSEMATES
[Really, she could've stayed at home in her own bed to sulk. Instead she's here, having snuck into JJ's bedroom through the window, taking refuge in the skater's bed without telling him beforehand. She's more or less burrito'd herself beneath the covers, some of her hair peeking out from underneath the covers.
Laying here, cocooned in sheets that smell like JJ, is comforting, even if he's nowhere to be found at the moment. It's better than being at home alone. It's something she's been thinking about a lot lately, ever since she found out Reign wasn't immortal and she'd relived the worst parts of her memories. Diva didn't have a problem with being alone, per say, but being lonely? It's not pleasant.
She hasn't bothered to close the door to JJ's room and so if one bothers to peek inside they might just see her burrito form. Alternatively, she might be spotted in the kitchen, barefoot and in a plain white dress, looking groggy and tired, pouring herself a glass of milk. Or at least that's what she had planned on doing. The milk JJ has in his fridge is in plastic bags, and rather than bothering to cut open a new bag and put it in the empty pitcher (who didn't replace the bag?), she opts to pierce the bag with her fangs instead, sucking the liquid out straight from said bag.
It's...definitely not the most lady like display, but she's determined to drink the whole damn thing. Why someone would have milk in bags rather than a carton or glass bottle she isn't sure, but she's not here to judge right now.]
QUENCH YOUR THIRST
[She probably shouldn't be here. That's what other patrons in the bar keep telling her. That she's far too pretty or young to be in a scummy place like this. She looks too innocent, too out of place as she sits on a stool by the bar, thin legs dangling off the edge. With her dark hair, pale features and blue accented white dress, she sticks out like a sore thumb in the tavern filled with drunks, whores and criminals. Not that Diva seems to care much.
Surprisingly most people seem to give her space, even if they look at her funny. A man had earlier bought her a drink, a small glass of red wine she's currently still staring at. The reason she's here in the first place is because she's thirsty, but not for the red drink before her. She's too angry at Reign to go and demand he give her blood so she's here to hunt for her own meal. There were willing people in the Red Light district, she'd been told, who would readily give up their blood to sate a vampire's thirst. She still doesn't understand those people, but it doesn't hurt to try. After all, she had promised Keaton she'd try to not kill as much.
Who knows how long that'll last?
Maybe she ought to be more proactive and approach someone, but she doesn't feel very sociable either at the moment. Maybe she should just go to the back alley and pick some unlucky, drunken fool to dine on. That might be a better option. Swiveling a bit on her stool she calls out to whoever's closest to her, holding out her untouched drink.]
Do you want this?

Do you want this?
no subject
Only to feel Diva's warm lips smack dab on his. Reign's eyes widened and the ecstatic cheer from the saleswoman, clearly edging them on for more.
This was definitely not what Reign expected. At all.
When he pull back, Reign's cheeks were beet red, one hand raised to touch his lips, looking like a blushing virgin who had never kiss before. ]
D-Diva...
no subject
Are you shy Reign? You don't have to be.
no subject
I'm not shy. No, it's just... I've never kiss before.
A girl! I mean. I've never kiss a girl before.
[ Shell was, unsurprisingly, Reign's first kiss. And a guy to boot. That said much about his prior experiences. ]
no subject
[She's a little surprised at that...but also not at the same time.]
I can't say I have either.
[Yolo.]
no subject
[ That shouldn't be surprising, considering Diva's lack of experience with intimate gestures. There was so much for her to learn, for Reign to teach her, if she would let him.
Or perhaps that should be left in the hands of Solomon instead? Who knows.
Except the saleswoman decided to speak up again. ]
Now, now, lovebirds. If I could have the both of your kiss one more time? I didn't manage to get a picture of that.
[ Oh dear... Reign looked a bit lost. He looked down at Diva. Should they kiss again? Maybe a chaste kiss on the lips? ]
no subject
Ready?
[Well Reign, are you going to kiss the girl or is she going to have to take matters into her own hands?]
no subject
Urm... Okay...?
[ Reign would tilt Diva's chin up slightly with a finger as he leaned down, gently pressing his lips to hers. It was as chaste as it could be, but Diva would be able to feel the warmth of Reign's lips.
If the saleswoman was hoping to see some tongue-action, she'll be disappointed. Because Reign's kiss was going to be the most innocent type ever.
Hope Diva wouldn't mind either.
Also, what Reign was doing now would be a more gentler and lighter version of this icon.]no subject
The sound of the shutter closing reaches her ears before it's time to part ways once more and Diva, triumphant, sets her hands on her hips.]
We did it!
no subject
He couldn't help smiling at Diva's antics, hands cupping his own cheeks as his cheeks turned red again. ]
Yes we did!
[ His attention turned to the saleswoman, inquiring after the pictures. ]
Oh don't worry! I'll have them all done for you in a day. You can come pick them up tomorrow. For a price, of course.
[ Besides, they had a business to run! ]
no subject
Will you get them for us, Reign?
[You're going to say yes, right?]
no subject
Reign nodded with a smile, not at all minding if he had to pay some exorbitant amount for the picture. After all, it was all for the sake of his Queen. ]
Certainly, Your Majesty! I'll have it nicely framed up as well.
