<p>“Yeah let’s go” she responded in a somewhat rushed voice because she could sense the danger they would be in if they stayed here. “If this is an industrial tunnel it probably goes under some of the roads, maybe to an underground electrical plant” so they would have to hope this wasn’t the only entrance to it. Without another thought she started moving quickly through the dark hall, holding up her hand and summoning celestial energy to light their way “Sometimes it pays to be a human torch” she commented and laughed.</p> After seeing Ophelias small n…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2021-08-26:6610746:Comment:4289212021-08-26T07:55:32.900Z✓ Cassandra Havilliardhttps://eternalcityrp.com/profile/TBD436
<p class="p1">After seeing Ophelias small nod, accepting that it was their best chance to escape, Cass didn’t hesitate to go through the door. As it closed behind them they could hear banging as their followers tried to break tough it. Luckily they didn’t seem to have a key and the solid metal door didn’t budge.

<p class="p1">”No unfortunately not” The celestial responded gloomily. She took out her cellphone which of course had no cellservice and was almost uncharged. ”Is your phone working?” The blonde asked hoping it would even tho it was a long shot. Getting a message to one of the other stars or the police would certainly help.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<p class="p1">Another bang, probably from someone throwing something heavy at the door or shooting at it with a gun, left a buckle on it and made Cass back away from it. ”We should get moving its only a matter of time before they break it” she said calmly trying to keep calm and come up with a plan, but there was so many uncertain factors.<a href="https://64.media.tumblr.com/a9681a4b12578586d81833feb3a80e96/ba7cc886acd4b227-fe/s250x400/1a535f759af5fb57553f525a7577d03c5e92132a.gifv" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/a9681a4b12578586d81833feb3a80e96/ba7cc886acd4b227-fe/s250x400/1a535f759af5fb57553f525a7577d03c5e92132a.gifv?profile=RESIZE_710x" class="align-full" width="156" height="115"/></a></p> Phe had to wonder if they cou…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2021-08-19:6610746:Comment:4286952021-08-19T18:27:41.459Z✓ Ophelia Dreyvalian ~Admin~https://eternalcityrp.com/profile/IcePrincess

<p class="p1">After announcing they where leaving the duo got every eye in close range on them making it hard to just discreetly walk out into the shadows and drive away. Now all merchender watched their every move and left snarky comments showing they had no intention just letting them walk out of there in one piece. Every time they tried to walk towards the exit they were blocked and forced to choose another way herded as sheep. Until they found themselves at a door leading down to a tunnel. Cass glanced at Phe trying to ask her if she thought going through the door possibly being locked in was better than tied up. <a href="https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRf-sres0hXyuAXpgMP8tJhr2NWTOBNJ3Idsw&usqp=CAU" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRf-sres0hXyuAXpgMP8tJhr2NWTOBNJ3Idsw&usqp=CAU&profile=RESIZE_710x" class="align-full" width="210" height="111"/></a></p> She couldn’t even process how…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2021-07-23:6610746:Comment:4282082021-07-23T21:59:56.486Z✓ Ophelia Dreyvalian ~Admin~https://eternalcityrp.com/profile/IcePrincess

<p>She definitely felt a looming sense of danger in her chest as they stood there, surrounded by the merchants who were watching them like they were two little bunnies that had wandered into their trap to catch for dinner. Ophelia bit her lip as she wondered just what they had walked into when she noticed one of them nudge the other and whisper in their ear “Yeah, we should get out of here” she murmured softly but just as she did so one of them piped up “Leaving so soon?” in a rather menacing tone.</p>
<p>“Girls like you should really know better than to wander into places like this without the intention to buy anything” one drawled before getting to his feet which naturally put Ophelia on guard, lifting her hand so that she could draw her energy to her should anyone try to trouble them “We’re leaving” she spoke sternly and took a step back away from the stalls.</p> Cassandra had many times thou…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2021-07-13:6610746:Comment:4275952021-07-13T08:13:43.122Z✓ Cassandra Havilliardhttps://eternalcityrp.com/profile/TBD436

<p>She smiled softly and nodded in agreement, the two of them were both pretty overwhelmed by the world being to open to them now because Cass had spent years of her life trapped with nowhere to go and Phe, while not locked up herself, had been searching endlessly for a way to save them. “Makes you...kinda excited for the future for once, who knows what we’ll get to do and see” she wanted it to last so badly that perhaps she seemed a little delusional but she wasn’t, she knew at any moment it…</p>

The brunette was hovering just to make sure she didn’t get herself into too much trouble, she’d learned to be quite resilient and a decent fighter over the years so she was sure she could take care of things if she needed to.</p>
<p>The brunette looked around as they wandered the stalls, everything there seemed ominous or fake, the people around seemed completely unbothered, just looking at their phones or suspiciously eyeing the two of them as they made their way. Phe wasn’t really sure what the endgame was here, there were a few bits of furniture out on the lawn but it looked mostly old or badly kept. It was the jewelry that caught her eye as they walked by though, wondering if they were things their owners missed. “See something you like?” she heard one of the shady merchant's questioned.</p> ”I´ll wait for you to knock…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2021-07-02:6610746:Comment:4276812021-07-02T18:29:45.368Z✓ Cassandra Havilliardhttps://eternalcityrp.com/profile/TBD436

<p class="p2">”I´ll wait for you to knock on my door” Cass said laughing softly knowing that Phe wouldn’t ask for help if it wasn’t very necessary. She could recognise that trait in herself.

<p class="p2">”I´ll wait for you to knock on my door” Cass said laughing softly knowing that Phe wouldn’t ask for help if it wasn’t very necessary. She could recognise that trait in herself. The blonde made sure to be there for everyone else but rarely recalled that favour or flagged when she was the one needing a hand. The star was used to only be dependent on herself, and not because she didn’t have great people around her whom she could trust but because she didn’t want to burden anyone with her troubles.</p>
<p class="p2">”Very strange” The independent celestial agreed. When first falling down she’d seen a world full of possibilities and fought to follow her dream to become a female firefighter during a time when it was frowned upon. Still everything felt so much easier back then because she didn’t have much to loose. It was a time before she had met her ex who’d both given but also taken so much from her. Something the blonde was reminded of daily as the memories of him haunted her. Now she was part of a community and not only responsible for her own safety but all members of the celestial faction. So even tho they lived in more allowing times and she had a better safety net it felt like chasing dreams and falling in love was far off.</p>
<p class="p2">Cassandra was known for running in to things. Some would accuse her of seeking thrills and maybe it was a part of the truth. In theory the adventurous female was thought trough and tried her best not to steer any trouble the celestials way, however as all celestials she was a trouble magnet and couldn’t help but run to the rescue when she saw danger. Despite the head start Ophelia was following close by and the brave star could hear her footsteps as she tagged along after Cassandra. Maybe to stop her or just as back up.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<p class="p2">Her eyes darted observantly around the premises to localise eventual threats and who had screamed for help. At first look it only looked like a bunch of stolen stuff. Instantly she wanted to take up her phone and take a photo but quickly disregarded that as a bad idea that would end with her and Phe tied up. Anyhow she couldn’t find the person who had called out for help which made her walk further into the black market. <a href="https://64.media.tumblr.com/518aa7c12d91652d67aed0717c7bc72a/7538a90523cd80fe-1f/s500x750/babb3bbc63432e55dbc265c19fac4f1fedaa7c9e.gif" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/518aa7c12d91652d67aed0717c7bc72a/7538a90523cd80fe-1f/s500x750/babb3bbc63432e55dbc265c19fac4f1fedaa7c9e.gif?profile=RESIZE_710x" class="align-full" width="116" height="93"/></a></p> She couldn’t help but smile a…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2021-06-15:6610746:Comment:4275342021-06-15T19:21:26.572Z✓ Ophelia Dreyvalian ~Admin~https://eternalcityrp.com/profile/IcePrincess
<p>She couldn’t help but smile at the blonde’s offer to help her set things up, she bit her lip slightly and nodded “Maybe I’ll take you up on that if things get too crazy” she tended to try and shoulder the world alone most of the time but she was learning slowly that she was owed a certain level of happiness from the world too. Perhaps it wouldn’t be so bad to lean on others a little. “Feels so….strange to have a world of options in front of us huh?” she thought, considering they spent so…</p>

Perhaps it wouldn’t be so bad to lean on others a little. “Feels so….strange to have a world of options in front of us huh?” she thought, considering they spent so many years on the run with nothing but their own kind for company, this felt almost like being kicked out of the bird’s nest and expected to fly.</p>

She hoped to be able to succeed with her business right now, it was taking all her energy and wants but she knew in time there would be more again. Maybe one day she’d want to find love.</p>
<p>She was just about ready to drive off and find them somewhere else to buy furniture when Cassandra suddenly got out of the car and of course, not wanting to leave her alone, the Wayfinder quickly climbed out and locked the door behind her before tailing her down the street. They made their way closer towards the front yard where there were a few things arranged but Phe couldn’t shake the feeling something was off about it. She chewed her bottom lip and murmured “I wonder if these things are stolen” in a soft tone as she gave a polite fake smile to the man who told them to look around at their own leisure.</p> Directly after falling Cassan…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2021-06-03:6610746:Comment:4276212021-06-03T14:16:54.396Z✓ Cassandra Havilliardhttps://eternalcityrp.com/profile/TBD436
<p class="p1">Directly after falling Cassandra had been more of an optimist. She saw opportunity with every setback. It was a time were she was certain all her dreams could come true if she worked hard enough. That there was good in everyone and everything had a meaning. Her fall from heaven was a mystery.

<p class="p1">Directly after falling Cassandra had been more of an optimist. She saw opportunity with every setback. It was a time were she was certain all her dreams could come true if she worked hard enough. That there was good in everyone and everything had a meaning. Her fall from heaven was a mystery. Either she’d been thrown out from there because of some deed, or maybe she had a bigger assignment on earth. However time passed and she didn’t get any more information about her previous life more than her name. Her time on earth wore her down. Her work got her to encounter both the worst and best of humanity but it was the horrible that stuck with you. Then later she met her fiancé whom she believed was someone who would cheer her on when he came to do the exact opposite. Adding to her more pessimistic approach. Hoping that everyone wished you well and being hurt constantly was just too painful. Preparing for the worst was simply a coping mechanism.</p>
<p class="p1">”I’d be happy to help setting it up if you’d like” Cassandra offered kindly. She always made time for the rest of the celestial when they needed her support but nowadays everyone seemed less on edge and it felt like they were slipping further and further apart even tho they still lived together. Her fellow stars as well as herself got so caught up with work new friends and chasing dreams, which was good a sign that things were stable.
