[ the tension on stage was palpable as she shot him a look like a silent dare. the saw exchanged hands, she took it from him, a knowing smile on her face. she so loathed the man lying on the table. maybe half the fun to her was knowing that there wasn’t any trick. he was bleeding magic when she was done.
the high lasts for almost an hour as she debates whether or not to find the man who intended to kill –and would have– had she not done the work for him. it’s simple enough to navigate the back of the theater, and brushing up against the man standing guard just the right way is too easy. ]
‘Is that his name? He seems nice, even if it is child’s play to get him to stand aside. You should look into that, you never know who’s coming to your shows. A woman capable of murder, for example, might just walk in.’
Well FUCK. He didn’t care that she knew, he was GLAD to learn that someone was so eagle eyed and could note a murder when performed in front of an audience. People would clap and cheer, pink faces laughing as they allowed bewilderment to consume simple minds; one might think him head over heels should they survey his expression. His laughter had gone now, the great magician stood slack jaw and doe eyed instead.
He stood, calm and unmoving as parted lips were licked, eyes wide in adoration until his mouth found the strength to curve into a gentle smile. A woman after his own heart, damn her to hell.
“ Probably, I know jack shit about him so… Jack. It might be Monty. “ a shrug, and he walks aching feet towards the centre of his chaotic dressing room, “ I think she just did. “
01. Although he's inspired by The Prestige, Jonathan is completely my own creation. 02. Slow replies are very likely, I do have 3 months now until I start uni but I have 5 other muses and co-run a historic roleplay masterlist blog, so some days I might not be here at all. Unless I've posted something about a hiatus etc, then I will reply to things, just bear with me. 03. There will be triggering content on this blog, please see below for a list of triggers. I have one trigger, and I ask that you please tag anything relating to animal harm/injuries. 04. I'm 23, so nsfw is possible, see below. 05. All icons are made by me, as was the psd. I do enjoy making icons, so if you'd like some with different psd drop me a message and I'll see what I can do for you. 06. HATE FREE, I'm so sick a tired of drama and hate spreading on this bloody website so if you're going to post it, I'm going to unfollow.
WRITER
01. I'm Bea, and have too many sons to balance well so there's gonna be a lot of slow replies and (sometimes) low activity every once in a while. 02. /with passion/ I love history, so much, I can't even explain it. Yeah Jon's set in the Victorian period but I freaking adore the 20's (see my muse list and yeah I got me some 20's sons too h a h) 03. I'm English. From England. But crumpets are disgusting. 04. I've just finished 2 years at college, old student alert, studing film & tv media, and I'll be starting at uni this september to study a film production and screen writing joint honours. So it's likely I'll be taking Jon into my coursework, as well as my other two ocs, so expect a lot of sudden character development from september onwards. 05. I can be slow at replying to messages and asks, it's just me being me and unorganised, it's never you, I'm just s l o w. 06. If I'm not here, I might be found on one of my other blogs...
01. I format my posts, but I don't expect you to. I don't care if you do, don't or how you do it, as long as you're happy then so am I. 02. If you'd like to continue an ask on, please move it to a new post. Don't reblog the ask. 03. I don't make welcome starters, if you'd like to interact drop me an ask, tag me in a random thing, or like a starter call. 04. Don't godmod. I understand a tiny, tiny bit of it might be necessary to move the thread along, that's fine, but if you completely control what Jon does then I'll be pissed and probably drop the thread. This also applies to if he attempts to hurt your muse, reminder he's a murderer, and your muse suddenly 'moves out of the way just in time' when it's impossible to do so... g od just don't. 05. So because he's a murderer, he's likely to change quite quickly, particularly when triggered. If you're not comfortably with him hurting your muse, I suggest you a) don't do it, b) don't follow. 06. I do one-linders, short things, paras, whatever. I like the variation.
