I Got Smarter
Who: Tiamat (Valdis) and Open with Some Closed
What: Thanks to Harvey, Tiamat has taken control of Valdis and is having a great time
When: Beginning of October (Valdis gets control back after about 2 weeks)
Where: All over
Warnings: People are gonna die. Also some general warnings about Tiamat being a chaotic, manipulative bitch.
Honey, I rose up from the dead | Erin and Max | CW: As Necessary
It’s a strange feeling, being entirely in control, not having to fight for it or watching the host make such a fool of herself. Yet when she takes a breath it feels good, invigorating. She never wants to let go of this feeling. She’ll have to eventually, but for now she’s not sure how much she can or should hide. Another breath and then she opens her eyes to see the changeling and the human. Of course they are here, why wouldn’t they be? They love her. She’s surprised that werewolf boy isn’t here too, but she’ll mess with him later.
“Max?” she whispers, “Erin?”
I do it all the time | Ash | CW: Tiamat being a bitch
Time to ruin some lives, break some trust and make people doubt themselves, starting with the lovestruck werewolf. The poor boy is so worried about losing love, likely been convinced it’s his fault in the past. Something fun to play with at the very least. She’s been awake long enough that she can act the part as much as needed. Until it’s not fun anymore or if she thinks revealing herself is better.
Ugh. Valdis was so much better at interpreting people because she actually had feelings, but whatever. Time to see where this goes. Hopefully Erin hasn’t blabbed all over the ship yet.
Tiamat knocks on Ash’s door, her voice quiet, vulnerable, “Ash, it’s me. I’m back.”
I’ve got a list of names | Open | Around the ship | CW: As Necessary
1) Chatterbox
This is the best life. Singing all the songs she’s heard over the years to anyone who might listen. Who knew having a body again could be so fun? Not having a body was very boring. But here? Here she can eat and drink and laugh and dance and just be whoever she wants to be.
Who knows, maybe she’ll take over this fucking ship and depose the Captain. She’d have to learn to run it first, but the idea has potential.
“Hey, you!” she calls to whoever happens to walk past, “Sing a duet with me.”
Somehow it sounds more like a command than a request.
2) Stan the Man
Tiamat is behind the bar, mixing drinks and testing them out, occasionally offering them to others passing through. They are actually good because Valdis isn’t aimlessly trying to get drunk and the Goddess of Destruction just wants to have a good time.
“Here, try this one.” She’ll slide a glass over, somehow she’s nailed whatever drink you might fancy.
If you are underage, it will be non-alcoholic.
3) Island Gems
She contemplates the jewels behind the glass cases, tapping her long fingernails against the glass. There’s power just beyond this unbreakable barrier, but try as she might, she can’t get through it. Special souls perhaps? What madness prompted their captor to keep these poor individuals from the Nothing and out of their own unique realms. Were they unique somehow?
She hums softly, trying to reach through the glass with her powers again. Trying to reach those precious souls. But. She. Can’t.
“Ugh,” she snarls, snatching up a chair and trying to break the case open.
The chair is what breaks.
“This is disgusting. What is so important about these souls.”
She wants to eat them.
4) Fate’s Design
Gambling? The last time she’d gambled she’d lost and been broken into pieces, but now she has a new body and it’s not like she can be broken again. The host’s body is pretty safe, even from murderous changelings. Mostly because people stupidly care.
She’s playing blackjack on her own, counting cards as she goes. It’s not a real casino and there’s no real money involved so it’s just an exercise in numbers. It’s getting boring though.
“Hey,” she’ll throw her arm around the shoulders of anyone who might wander in. “How about we play for some real stakes.”
Your soul. She wants your soul.
Yours is in Red underlined | Nobunaga and Siffleur | CW: Individual
Nobunaga | CW: Murder
This one is easy. He’s a fool, both in mind and title. He’s also a massive hothead who can’t even begin to fathom how stupid he is. He’s here on the sports deck, waiting for her as always so they can practice sword forms. Idiot. He’ll offer energy first as always, it’s just sword forms after all. Unless he already heard from Erin. Then he’ll probably be hostile and she’ll just get it over with. Worthless humans always bite off more than they can chew.
Siffleur | CW: Murder
Tiamat knows for a fact that Siffleur has likely already caught wind that Valdis is no longer in control. It’s not like she’s been hiding since Ash figured it out, there’s really no point in pretending. It’s not fun to pretend either. She sees him sitting in Sand Dollars, talking to his cursed mother again in that unsettling way. She slips into the seat across from him.
“Siffleur,” she says with a pleasant smile. “I recall you had a deal with my host.”
I check it once, then I check it twice | Ava and Peter | CW: Attempted Murder
She’d failed to destroy this relationship earlier, though it had triggered a very interesting rise in the strange unstable woman. Text hadn’t told her much, but Ava seemed to struggle with her husband’s death so much. Going so far as to want to blame others, but been unable to do so. Well. She’d come close enough the last time, she may as well try again. The annoying human spy could give her a solid boost of energy if nothing else, so she’d sent him a text.
Peter. I need to talk to you. Please meet me in the Library.

Chatterbox
"Oh hey. Come to make it up to me, then? You missed my birthday." A beat. "I mean, I get it. I heard about the...uh...everything." The death is what he means to say. To be fair, no one was really in the mood for their birthday with everything and Klaus felt too awkward to ask for celebrations. So they just...didn't.
Re: Chatterbox
He's a tough one and would likely not be surprised by anything she said to him. He'll say 'it's nothing I haven't been told before' or say it's something he's told himself. He also has those weird powers.
"Care to choose the song?"
no subject
"It's okay, buddy. Sometimes we can't help missing it. I'm sure you'll make it up to me later." And with people being super upset about it later...well...it's hard to get people to like...be happy." And that's fine. They can't make people be happy if they aren't.
"You sure? Cause I've got..." Well, they're still trying to avoid Bootylicious, so that's off. There's really a lot of 90s songs to choose from and that's their usual place to pull from. "A lot of songs to suggest here." A beat as they narrow things down a bit. "Shakira or Ricky Martin? Ooo...or do we do Hero by Enrique?" But who doesn't mentally sing Shakira, Shakira from time to time?
no subject
She's trying to figure out how to break this one, but he's already so broken she's not sure she can.
no subject
"So Shakira it is. She Wolf seems a little too on the nose, so maybe Whenever, Wherever. Or we can do Hips Don't Lie, too."
no subject
He's a weird one, she suspects the only way to get to him is to kill his husband. The man was already on her list, so it's not out of her way. It's just odd. It takes quite a bit to stump her.
no subject
no subject
"Want to sing another one?"
no subject
"Oh. Yeah. We could do some more. You wanna choose this one? I know a lot of music, so I don't mind choosing again, but you should get to choose, too!"
no subject
"Oh, but you have me hooked on this and I really want to sing Hips Don't Lie."
So that's the one she queues up.
"Ready?"
no subject
"Well, that's fair. And that's a good song." Which means he's down to sing more Shakira.
"I'm always ready!" They grin widely, using the telekinesis to hold up the mic while they slip off their jacket and throw it at a table close by.
no subject
no subject
no subject
"Just one more, you choose."
no subject
"Okay. Then I'm gonna make it extra dramatic." They really do want to sing Hero, but it really feels like the mood should stay up, so they choose Living la Vida Loca instead. It's a great song.
no subject
Tiamat laughs in delight as the song finishes. "Oh I so wish we could do another, but I have somewhere to be."
no subject
no subject
Nobunaga won't be though, she doesn't plan to toy with him, he's far too stupid to play games with.
"You try to have a great belated birthday."
