pastries

[hagrides]

[When Venus enters For Goodness' Cakes, she'll be pretty readily able to spot Grimm. A six foot moth-bat? sticks out even among Prismals, let alone the moonblessed.

Similarly, Venus is pretty distinctive, so he spots her immediately.]

Pleased to meet you in person, Venus.

[Grimm bows to her. Just because they're almost-devils doesn't mean he can't be polite!]

[wingstosee]

[ holy shit. ]

Oh wow.

[ she was sort of worried, before she showed up, that she wouldn't be able to spot grimm. she hasn't actually figured out how to look up people's pictures yet? so, you know. if he's devilish in any way, she could probably spot him, but what if he just looks like a normal guy??

anyway, turns out all of that is entirely meaningless, because this motherfucker looks more like the devil than any other devil she's ever met, period. when she's collected herself enough to stop vibrating with excitement, she mimics his bow - long, deep, even her wings tilting forward as she does. ]

Same?? I mean. The feeling's definitely mutual, Grimm.

[hagrides]

[He does not, in fact, look like a normal guy. Crisis averted.]

You flatter me. Shall we have a seat?

[There are pastries to be had and friends to make.]

WAIT this is during sanguis isn't it... hold up

[wingstosee]

Yeah! Um. Yes, please.

[ she starts towards a table, a single slither of her hips and tail - and then she seems to realize something. she comes to a stop with a sheepish glance grimm's way, a few of the eyes on her wings still trailing on the sweets behind the display glass.

sorry, grimm! looks like your serpentine date is waiting for you to take the lead. ]

hey it's leone abbacchio
i don't think i have to explain who i am im sure you remember

i wanted to apologize
i know i'm always kind of a pissy piece of shit usually but sanguis definitely can amplify that
and
it's stupid but i get really overprotective of the bf
and i took it out on you by being a jackass

you don't have to forgive me or whatever
i dont expect you to
but i owed you an apology
you had some real shit going on and all i did was try to make you feel bad for no good reason
so yeah

good luck out there

[wingstosee]

[ she doesn't remember, actually. she has to keep reading for the username to finally click in her head. and when it does, she's so, so tempted to just... drop it? pretend that she didn't see this post and just go about her life ignoring it.

but that seems like a kind of bitch move. and after the week from hell, she just wants to stop being mean for one fucking second. so she reads the entire post, and tries to breathe it out, and finally types a response: ]

it's ok
apology accepted i guess?
except i don't even feel right saying that since you didn't really say anything that wrong

sorry for freaking out on you.
usually i can handle it when people start sounding like my dad
but the whole body changes thing made it like...
way too close to home. idk

[teaserving]

i called you stupid and ugly and i don't think i want to sound like your dad based on what you said so
(is your dad even god i don't know how your satan stuff works)
it's ok that you freaked out
i was a dick so it evens out

oh yeah?
you don't have to explain it if you want
but i don't know if i'd get it because satan stuff

[wingstosee]

oh ugh. not THAT dad?
he’s my heavenly father and all that stuff but i’d rather die than call him dad. you know?
it’s just gross. he’s such an asshole.

anyway this was just my normal human dad
he was just always...
i think he was worried i’d be bullied or something?
but all that means is he was always telling me how men were supposed to act, and how i needed to man up
you know. that kind of stuff
and when i stopped trying to be a guy and just let the devil in it was like
i realized how shitty all of it had been?
so...

haha. i’m rambling again huh? sorry
i guess the point is having to deal with two dicks was just a shitty reminder of all that
that’s all

text; like the night of 12/31 since sanguis starts on the 1st, happy new year

[earrdrums]

hey, venus?

just a heads up, but yaomomo's gone. i know you wanted to meet her
sorry.

fuck yes. fuck yes we're doing this

[wingstosee]

oh.

[ and then there's a bit of a silence. thirty seconds, probably. finally, more text appears: ]

sorry. she sounded really nice

[ and for like two or three minutes, that's all there is - just those two lines of text and an awkward "aphrodite is typing..." that pops in and out. finally, one last line: ]

want me to come over?

it took me forever cause i zoned out for like 48 hours but im READY

[earrdrums]

[Honestly? Once that typing bubble pops in for the second time, Jiro figures this is gonna take her a moment.
So she puts it all to the side and goes back to whatever she was doing -
Which is mostly just. Noodling on her guitar, huddled up in her room because she can't really stand the rest of her apartment, right now.

... She takes a second to reply, though, ending up sitting there typing and backspacing for a bit herself.]

you can if you want i guess
it's not like i'm gonna be great company though.

big mood honestly. also are we skipping through the initial comforting or playing it out? i forgot

[wingstosee]

that's ok. i'm not really good at it either so
i'll be over in uh. fifteen? maybe twenty. let me grab some stuff

[ it's more like twenty-five. but sure enough, there's a knock at the door, and there is venus standing before it. she looks... alright, honestly? nothing too special. she's got shorts and a crop top, because someone doesn't really feed cold when she's a literal organic heat lamp, and she's grabbed a pillow or two and an extra blanket that she's tucked under her arms. ]

backdated to the 14thish | text

[doctorize]

[Shortly after speaking to Grimm in this thread, Danny sends Venus the following message.]

Hello, Venus. How are you doing today?

not backdated because i'm a wild card like that

[wingstosee]

oh my god.
i'm so sorry i missed this?? um
i'm. pretty crappy i think? but i mean. you probably saw that already. on the network
how did i not see this.

do you... remember... what this was about

I love it tbh

[doctorize]

Venus?

Don't worry, it's fine. In fact I'm still getting used to texting in general so I actually thought maybe I forgot to hit send for this.

... I think I was going to ask you something at the time but now I don't remember what it was?

It had something to do with Grimm doing tarot readings though, that much I do remember.

[wingstosee]

oh whoa. tarot?
isn't that the thing that like... tells the future? i think.
or is that what the crystal ball is for.
i don't actually know much about that kind of thing

also wait is there not texting where you're from??

text; so i could have sworn i replied to our smut thread.......??? expect a response later today

[givenofox]

So...you, me, some awesome lunch today. What do you say?

hell........ yes

[wingstosee]

oh my gosh.
heck yes??
i haven't been doing anything for like a week haha.
where were you thinking?

[givenofox]

Well, what kind of food are you in the mood for? I'll eat anything, but I know some nice sushi places around.

video: un: Ryoji (also hello ;) )

[thanatoast]

[There's a nerd in front of the screen, along with a bright yellow scarf despite the temperature outside.]

Hello!

I'm Ryoji Mochizuki and Akira gave me your number and said you were pretty!

He's my roommate so the fact he mentioned you means you must be super cute!

Plus with a name like Venus I'm sure that he's not wrong!

video; un: aphrodite; HELLO PIX

[wingstosee]

Oh, uh. Hi?

[ click! she's definitely cute, if in a way that doesn't exactly conform to normal cuteness. her voice is low, androgynous, a high tenor with a touch of softness. but the part that really makes the biggest impression is probably the giant wings covered in eyes, accompanied by the light glow she gives off at all times.

yeah. the wings should probably be described first here, huh. ]

Aww. Haha. That's sweet of him? [ she's not entirely sure how she feels about her number being given out, admittedly - but akira's sweet, and if she can trust anyone on this it's another devil. she gives a casual wave to the camera, giggling like an idiot after she does. ] Well... I hope I'm living up to the expectations??

[ she doesn't... immediately ask why he's contacting her. whoops. the "cute" part took priority, okay. ]

Hello gotta tag back with Demi soon too

[thanatoast]

[Scooooore! What a hottie! And wings. Eye wings. Kinda reminds him of someone else but, well, it's not this world after all.]

More than he told me! I'd say that you're even cuter than I expected!

[Despite the choice of words he does seem to be somewhat innocent about it.]

You could even say now that I've got my...eye...on you!

[Wow.]

[hagrides]

[from here]

You must be the devil. I would bow were I not occupied.

[He addresses the smoky voice first, stroking Venus' wings to soothe her. It's okay.]

Did you hear him, Venus? The Nightmare King. The higher being's heart who every Grimm carries.

[im_gonna_heal_u]

[ from here ]
Um, Venus-han, I'm unharmed.

[ Konoka is trying to stifle her giggles and she's failing. To her credit, it's only by a hair, but it's still failing, and she has to take a moment to compose herself. Even yelling her apologies, there's a sort of gentleness to Venus's voice Konoka finds soothing, and Venus might find it familiar given that Konoka sounds the same way. ]

Really, I'm alright! Just uh, come down. And sit!

[ She plopped herself down on the sidewalk, and invited Venus to settle beside her. ]

[affectueux]

( continued from here. )

I want to.

[ serge assures her without missing a beat. there’s a part of him that wonders if it would hurt her to touch the eyes, but—he figures they can cross that bridge when they come to it.

luckily for them both, serge has not strayed too far from his home to find her. that, too, as if fate has intervened—allowing them not to waste a second longer than they must getting to know each other. he takes her up to his apartment, or he starts to, and he gets a little distracted in the elevator. with the doors closed and the two of them in brief but certain privacy, he can’t help but kiss her again.

he’s still a bit more tender than other astellas might be, but there’s clearly an anticipation brewing under his skin that he needs to get out as quickly as possible. ]
