Neville Longbottom| Harry Potter| Post DH part 2

[pulledthesword]

Arrival

Neville opened his eyes wide, as he stared at the vastness before him. He still held Gryffindor's sword in his hands, although the tip was resting on the deck of the boat at the moment. Neville felt like he could feel every vibration and every movement of every person on the boat. He knew that not every person had magic, and if they did he wouldn't be able to sense it.

It was just the battle he was sure of it. They had won, so he felt relief instead of foreboding. He didn't know where here was, but at least the people he loved were safe, and they had won.


"I kicked Ass back home," He said, stepping off the boat. He held both the sword and the hat, one in each hand. "This isn't different." The inner mantra Neville had been reciting is something that his Gran taught him to center and focus him.

He could do this.

[Party]

[ Neville strode into the room as if he owned the place. It was actually probably just the after effects of Hogworts. Neville chose to believe it was confidence.

He stared wide-eyed as he took in the expanse of the room around him. He was so out of his depth. He spotted the food table just as his stomach began to growl. He laughed out loud as he made his way over to the bar ]

I guess it's been awhile huh? Sorry about that. Excuse me? Is the food for everyone?

Re: Henry Sturges | AL:VH/Last American Vampire | Post Amat

[inhenrywetrust]

Now there was an expression Henry didn't see too often in regards to Ratchet - warmth and affection. It made him smile in turn.

"I do .. .know baseball." From it's very beginnings, in fact. "And I do like making new memories." To replace the older, badder ones.

(Arrival)

Luna had been making the trip to the docks every time boats arrived in hopes of more people from the Wizarding World being brought to the island. But today was different since the sword she spotted was basically one big clue along with the hat. "Neville!" she called with a rare joy as of late in her voice, granted the earrings and pink coat were standing out like a sore thumb as well.

[only_hope]

[Obi-Wan nodded in agreement. It was difficult, yes, but it was something that he would rather have than not have.]

It's worth it, I think. I would rather know how my actions affect others so I can conduct myself accordingly than to be blind to how others feel. Even the smallest action can cause ripples far outside one person and I would hate to hurt someone because I simply didn't know how they felt.

I find it important to be mindful of others before considering yourself.

[these_are_my_words]

What happens when it's... It's the time to be selfish? To value yourself, above another?

[only_hope]

[Obi-Wan considered that for a moment before responding and when he did, his words were carefully measured.]

To take care of oneself is important and not to be forgotten. I was speaking, of course, of selfless acts for another person but sometimes a person needs to turn that inward.

It only becomes a problem when your actions begin to affect others in a negative way. I don't suspect that's what you mean, though.

[these_are_my_words]

[It's a tiny movement, the twist at the corner of her mouth. Blink and you miss it.]

Why not? Why don't you suspect that?

[only_hope]

The way you said it. Forgive me for prying, if it feels that way, but it sounds like you need to look after yourself for a while - which is much different than hurting someone else to achieve your own goal.

Party

Sean smiled. "Yes of course," he says, "party food is meant to be eaten by people at the party. It would be a waste otherwise."

[these_are_my_words]

[After a while, the screams of the War Boys melded into the scream of the storm.

She's not going to forget that.]

Nah, I should be apologizing. I started us all serious. I have a lot of things to sort out. Shouldn't burden a stranger with 'em.

What's a Jedi?

[dirtytrenchcoat]

Castiel has adopted Dean's technique of taking responsibility for things that aren't really his fault. There's a slow nod when she mentions how Sam's doing, and it's not surprising. That was a time that was terrible for all of them, but especially him.

"It's good he's here and that he has support." The fact that he's distancing himself emotionally has more to do with the environment and not knowing what to make of it. "Can I buy you a drink?" Nothing flirtatious, not even remotely. Just an exchange of alcohol for her company something that he hadn't participated in for a while. Least of all with her.

[dirtytrenchcoat]

If Castiel knew about the fear and the frustration he'd feel worse, if that were even possible. Looking at his old companion now all he feels is guilt, crippling guilt, and another feeling he can't quite explain.

When the silence grows too uncomfortable, Castiel sweeps his hand across the back of his neck where hair is still standing on end. "I should go." This was inappropriate, and Balthazar seeming much more acclimated was clearly here first. There's no reason for him to make things worse for him.

[badpuns]

Balthazar will keep it all hidden as much as he possibly can. Protecting Castiel is something he still can't help, despite everything between them. Besides, even if no apologies are offered, he can tell he isn't the only one woefully uncomfortable with this situation. That helps make up for it a little.

They hold each others' gaze for far too long to be comfortable, and Balthazar looks away as Cas runs his hand over the back of his neck. "No, no - you stay. I'll go. I need a drink, and what they have at this party isn't nearly strong enough for my tastes."

He pauses, licking his lips as he debates if there's something else he has to say to his old friend. "Castiel," he thinks maybe, he should tell him that they can fix things eventually. It hasn't been that long - he still needs a bit more time to sort through it all. No. He doesn't want to burden Cas with the knowledge that it's only been about a month since his arrival in Medietas, and he arrived directly after his death. So instead he finishes off lamely with, "Gabriel's here, too."

[only_hope]

Someone who uses the Force. It's all around us, binding us together. I sense it now, in this place. Have you ever heard of it?

[these_are_my_words]

The Force.

[Words are important, as are terms. Methods of describing.

Anything labelled the Force makes her wary.]

I haven't, no.

Re: At least it's better than surprise!Lucifer?

[student_lighter]

Chris gives Gabriel a little scowl. "Projection, the ability to bend reality. My brother has it too." Tiny bit of jealous there.Be glad he didn't mention the unicorn and the other magical farm animals Wyatt got.

"So I'll have to find something that's hopefully okay with flexible hours. Just in case I ended up with a charge or two here." Unfortunately for his possible charges, Chris was a micro-managing witch who hadnt really gotten in touch with his whitelighter half. But he was good at pretending and being bossy.

Raleigh Becket | Pacific Rim

[rangerbecket]

When he sleeps, he remembers.

It’s been five years since Raleigh lost Yancy and he still wakes up sometimes in the middle of the night thinking his brother should be there, that they should be cutting up and finishing each others’ sentences and suiting up to go fight kaiju. Instead, there’s an empty hole where Yancy used to be and Raleigh’s not sure that it’s ever going to be filled in again and, more importantly, Raleigh’s not sure he wants it to be. As fucked up as it is, this is the only time he gets to see and hear Yancy anymore and he clings to it even if it’s probably not the healthiest choice.

It seems to help to have a purpose to fill his days besides welding on the wall. He’s glad Pentecost roped him back into being a Ranger even if he’d been against it at first because at least he’s fighting for something instead of just fighting so he doesn’t have to feel anything.

The islands are a frustrating stumbling block in that process because while he’s here, he gets lulled into thinking it’s safe. There’s plenty to eat; Raleigh spent his whole first day gorging himself on meat and bread and shit that they just can’t get back home with all the rationing. There’s no televisions blaring about the latest kaiju attack, about people dying painful deaths from Kaiju Blue, about the military arguing whether or not Jaegers are worth the hassle when they can just build a wall to keep them out. The islands are a bubble, safe, and Raleigh has to constantly remind himself that this is temporary. This isn’t something he can let himself get used to.

He’s pretty sure he’s not going to go back to sleep any time soon so he ends up pulling on a shirt and sliding into his boots, wandering without a purpose. He winds up on the beach at Imber, staring out at the waves and wondering if they're truly as benign as they appear to be or if there's something dangerous lurking beneath the surface.

[only_hope]

It is what makes us living, breathing beings.

[Obi-Wan smiled.]

It simply exists. I'm more sensitive to it than most.

[tobeclosetohim]

Jo saddles him with a look. Like somehow she hadn't been about to go get one. Or maybe that agreeing meant agreeing to stay. To talk to him. To give into this being what it was. A breath blew out her nose, and she nodded, a little less than straight and certain, "Yeah. Sure."

Because, what else was she going to do, really? Walk off on him and leave him there? Middle of this party and this place? Go home, close the doors and wait to see who was the first person to show up and trying to tell her off for walking off on him? It's not like it was a thing she would do anyway.

[knighterrantofthedragon]

Alric chuckled softly, offering a lighthearted, reassuring smile, projecting both sympathy and confidence--in particular, careful that his council should sound more diplomatic, or even friendly, than judgmental.

"There may indeed be such an agenda; but there are more than a few innocents, here, who deserve, I believe, some modicum of subtlety and discretion in the means by which we seek to identify it. I have my own suspicions, of course, but would you not rightly scold me, were I to visit distress upon those who merely live here, in my search for answers?"

[callmethor]

Thor nodded. "In truth, I would prefer it so. Some peace would be intriguing. But only some peace." Thor would get bored, and let's face it, even Thor knew that was a bad thing.

"One must always protect those who cannot protect themselves."

[a_deadman]

[Continued here]

[lookingforagoodtime]

[Well, he hasn't earned his greys yet. So yes he's younger compared to the one she's had. He hasn't lived those ten years though]

Just don't read out loud from them? Please? That worked so well last time. [he shoved his hands through his hair, huffing a breath]

So. Time's weird. And you didn't do it. [he half-smiled, dimples flashing] I suppose we'll have to figure out why.

party

[justonetouch]

[There was a part of her that was still getting over suddenly finding herself without a collar, and on a new island. She had, unfortunately, also learned that her abilities were back. There had been annoyance and frustration at that fact, but her time on Atia had helped her grow a bit, to experience and to learn.

She's covered again, long gloves up her arms, with barely any skin showing. In a way, she had to get used to her body again, used to that deadly touch, and she really didn't want to hurt anyone. Arguably she could have avoided the party, but she also knew that avoiding everything wasn't going to work either.

Her eyes turned to the one who had spoken, and offering a smile, Rogue nodded.] As far as ah know, it is. Seems to be that everyone's helpin' themselves to it.

Re: party

[pulledthesword]

[Neville looked at the woman who spoke with something akin to shock. He was certain that she couldn't be talking to him. Sure, battling a snake had been a big confidence boost, but still beautiful girls didn't talk to him.

At least they didn't used to. He recovered quickly enough to give her a smile back. ]

Thanks. It feels like I could eat a Hippogryff. I'm Neville Longbottom. Do you have a name?
