so sorry for being super quiet these past few days, things have been a little hectic. and it’s very likely I won’t be online until Thursday now. I’m in London tomorrow with @adangerouspsychopath seeing Richard Madden/Lily James in Romeo and Juliet, I won’t be home until quite late and will likely want to sleep right away. I will start getting to drafts on Thursday, things will be a lot calmer after tomorrow. I don’t use Skype atm but if you want me I’ll be on Barrow via mobile and snapchat ( beasalt ) <3
[ she replies perhaps too easily. myrtle watches, one brow raised as he looks her up and down. she’d kill to read his thoughts, but she doesn’t have that kind of power. myr is pleasantly surprised when he notices the power she does have. it proves that alistair the enchanter is paying attention. she wonders what his real name is… ]
‘Did you expect anything less, I thought that might impress you. It’s a good parlor trick, anyway.’
[ even a drop of absinthe can put the fear of god into her better than mass can. she doesn’t decline, instead wonders why she’d be willing to get quite intoxicated with this strange man. maybe it’s the niceness of the knowledge that she’s no longer alone. magic is— it’s uncommon and there’s a small part of her that’s so pleased she needn’t hide it. ]
‘I–’
[ her struggle to form a cohesive sentence as he approaches her at a startlingly quick pace fades into a quiet smirk. myrtle tilts her head up and she realizes how perilously close her lips are to his. her hand darts out, grabs the glass from him and she steps back, taking a sip. ]
‘Better. You’re certainly a sight up-close.’
“ Did you come here only to flatter me? Or were you hoping I’d offer you a job? “
There’s something sweet about her aura, it’s like honey to the magician; alluring and mouth watering, he’s drawn to the flickers of magic like a moth to a flame. Stepping willingly into the arms of death, simply for a taste. He still stands close, head tipped with that same BOYISH grin she has him wearing so easily.
Magic swam between the fumes of alcohol, waves struck him and drew him deep under the liquid’s ravenous dark. He might find it hard to tell the difference between intoxication and his immediate adoration for the woman, but Jon would take them both into his arms like an expectant friend; they were both welcome.
He turns, his eye seeking and locating another bottle hidden beneath his dressing table. Jon could not quite recall if he had finished the last or not, a concern as it left his hand a mere moment ago, but found no harm in opening another. The clink of the bottle neck triggered an involuntary twitch of tired brown eyes, unnoticed by the showman given the onset of his intoxication. “ Because I’d LIKE to. I’d like you to be my assistant… what’s your name? “
here tomorrow guys, the past few days have been chaotic for my parents and I so I’ve barely done anything across my blogs this week. but here tomorrow for sure <3

THE LOVELIES: aka the people who i love to bits!!! .。.:*☆
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.
