    JOZIAH BROOKS

    FIRE MANIPULATION || THE BRUTE


    [[soery this is all over the place and kinda shitty i just wanted to get a post up for y’all!]]


    As he was eating he didn’t pay much mind to the others soft chatter, the overload of sugar that was going through his body made his heart pound against his rib cage. It made him feel warm and happy, a feeling that was clouded over by the sensations of anger and annoyance. Joziah spent his life in the shadow of his loneliness, in the shadow of a man that hurt him, in the shadow of his anger— he didn’t feel warmth often and when he did? he cling onto it like his life depended on it. He’d grow to love the strangers around this odd dinner table, the withered heart in his chest would begin to soak up the sarrchine drenched fluids as if it was a dried up sponge, desperate to not feel the uncomfortable sensation of pain and irritation. Joziah would learn to accept the love of other people, he’d learn to care about other people besides his brother and himself. Relearning how to talk to others rather then spewing sarcastic remarks and jab like teases that seem to get him into more trouble then good, a mouth that was his ticket to getting a fist to the face. While people often think you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, that an already damaged product wasn’t worth saving— Joziah isn’t the type.


    I don't really know how to.... start things like this”


    curiosity began to grow, tilting his head ever so slightly as he took another bite from the sweet in his hand. Joziah was ever more confused the longer he sat on the couch, it must have been something important. well no duh, the fact that she gathered a group of strangers together was apparent. His eyes were locked upon the projection upon the wall, watching as it turned on but the only thing that was plastered upon the screen was the terrified face of his older brother. A laugh erupted from his throat and he couldn’t contain it, seeing how his brother screamed out TAKE ME NOW just made him snort. As much as he loved his brother, Seige was an off one. The choice of words and reactions however weren’t far off his character, which in turn was why Joziah wasn’t really surprised. /Nice first impression Seige/ but his brief thought to himself was cut short as Mabel began to speak some more, her tone had shifted to that if a serious one and it made Joziah scrunch his brows together ever so slightly.


    Aaron Trevino


    Hm, sounded as though the man was in an Italian mafia gang. joziah arched one of brows as he stared at the projection. he’d never heard of that name before and it made him wonder why he was so important, the way he looked made the blonde think he was more then what he made himself appear to be. The large man didn’t wanna make himself look too important, going through public without turning heads as to blend in. Sneaking around in order to obtain what he was tasked to find, sticking his hands into random places to look like your average joe. A man that wanted to help the less fortunate, no one would questions the morals of a man that wanted to help special needs children right?


    Through all the information thrown at the them, Joziah’s skin began to goosebump at the feeling of a figure pressing up against his skin. coldness ran down his spine for a split second before the warmth of his own body engulfed the cold, a soft sizzle extinguished it. Biting down on his bottom lip, he gripped his dinner plate a little in an act to do something with his hands. Looking over his shoulder, Joziah could only figure it was the brunette that was sitting next to him. who else would it have been? tricking up his throat was a smart ass comment, an instinct that he’d instilled within himself no matter the context of a situation. A thick syrup was building within his mouth, a syrup filled with sarcasm and smartassery however as soon as his crimson eyes landed up the other, he swallowed down the mouthful of sticky fluids. It soon became apparent that the brunette was swimming with emotions, not good ones it seemed. Biting down on his tongue, an act to keep any light hearted teasing to himself. Joziah gave the other a warm smile, comfort and reassurance flowed from his skin.



    Rapid heart beating began, ripping against his rib cage as it slabbed against the chest plate that guarded it. A flow of concern and worry filled his senses as he caught sights of both himself and Seige upon the projections, the figure of a man following them both made his skin crawl. He didn’t allow his worry to fall upon himself, no, Joz was concerned about the well being of his brother. The hell with himself, Joziah couldn’t imagine another person laying a hand upon the long haired blonde. Even the idea made his stomach turn sour, the urge to vomit would soon fall upon him as he gritted his teeth together. Joziah began to let his thoughts run wild as to how this organization had found these people, how they found him. While the young man kept his powers to chest, never letting them get to the worst of him and exposing his true nature to the world. But he had one slip up several years ago that resulted in the burnt down apartment building, burning perfectly to the ground and surprisingly not affecting the other buildings next to it. As if it had been perfectly maintained, having only one goal.


    “I know this is a lot. I know I'm asking for a lot. And I promise right here that I'm going to do everything in my power to make you all comfortable,”

    “But I do think that all of us here need to become a team."


    Forming a team?” he said aloud, removing the plate from his lap and placing it upon the coffee table in front of him. the thought ran through his mind and made the back of his moth sour, but maybe the idea was a logical one. they might be easier to pick off since they were together, but having numbers granted them an advantage. What kind of powers could the others posses, whatever it was it gave them advantages over regular individuals. “While i ain’t the ‘team’ type of guy” he started off, pushing himself up from the couch and aiming his path towards his older brother. A simple smirk grew upon his face as he let his eyes go from Seige to Mable, giving her a simple wink “Sticking together probably would be the best bet.. kicking ass is easier if you got help” he said with a laugh, glancing over at his brother once again “i’ll stay if you stay” he mumbled quietly.

    BEAU MALACHI DI'AMORE

    While the inside of the home looked to be that of your typical suburban neighborhood house, simple colors that complemented each other and large paintings that covered the walls. It filled in the empty space of the boring shades, seeming to try and keep your attention away from the barred up windows. Looking through as if you were in a prison cell, your freedom behind those chains. The swaying of tree branches and the scurrying little creatures taunting those that wished to escape. It looked like a well kept home, a picture perfect family— a loving husband & wife with their two, no wait, their three sons. The addition to the family stuck out like a sore thumb, not because he was new but because of his bright hair. Everyone was blessed with brunette locks while Beau wasn’t, looking as though he had been adopted. Learning to accept these people as his family would come to be a challenge for him, but he’ll learn to adapt. He had too.


    Seeing where he would lay his head at night was odd, a sudden realization that he truly would be stuck here until.. well until his ultimate end. Unless Beau could somehow get away, but there was no point in thinking about that right now. The bedroom was lined with similar paintings that were in the halls, all of which gave a sort of renaissance type of feel to them. Victorian era, a complete contrast to his bedroom back at home. Beau’s room was kept clean, his bed was always kept neat with purple sheets and ten different pillows. Music sheets sometimes would be scattered all over his floor from when he had to memorize a song, tapping his fingers against his thighs as he read the sheets. The music prodigy couldn’t help but grow an ounce of excitement when they walked past a large piano that sat within the foyaye of the home, it sat untouched yet shined as it was recently polished. When was the last time anyone played upon it, halls of the home filled with the elegant noise of sweet songs. He couldn’t help but let an urge grow inside himself, would he be punished if he did such a thing? There was a reason it was a bought, hopefully it wasn’t for decorative purposes only.


    Everyone in the home had their secrets, there was no doubt about that. Was he willing to poke and prod the others in order to get a better idea of who he would be interacting with? no, Beau wasn’t the one to do such a thing. While no one could see it, the aura of a cloud of blackness trailed behind each person here. It clung to them like gum on the bottom of ones shoe, no matter how far you went it would still be there. As the two boys cleaned the impressive home, Beau realized how these tasks could be challenging when done alone. Especially when one needs to be finished by noon, the thought of having to fed those beasts alone made Beau shake in his shoes. Having Finely help him was a life saver, he didn’t know how he would be able to fed those dogs all on his own. It wasn’t a difficult to task to see through the facade that the older man had, Beau wasn’t an idiot. There was something that made him the way he was, a strict parent that apparently abused his wife? the comment that Jett had made a few hours ago still ringing in his head, he couldn’t let it go. Beau knew that Finley was keeping things from him, not wanting to frighten the already scared fawn.


    Beau wanted to be told straight up when really happened here, but he could understand not wanting to overstimulate the new soul. For some it might cause them to have a heart attack, hyperventilate and pass out upon the cold hardwood flooring. But that wasn’t Beau, he rather know what to expect and know how to better prepare himself for the unthinkable. When scars are covered with clothing and people are forced to smile through the pain, they often twinkle a little sadness in whatever they are doing. A silent way of being able to slowly open the box of despair they’ve kept so tightly bound.


    Making lunch hadn’t been so bad, it was actually fun. Finely showing him how exactly how to do it, nothing could be out of place. Maybe cooking wouldn’t be such a bad thing to do as a chore, but hopefully Beau would keep in mind how precise he must be with whatever dish is to be served for lunch. Listening to what Finley told him about tossing the salad three times, he found it kinda weird that the man was able to tell the difference if it hadn’t.


    I think I got it covered” he shrugged, looking over the freshly made tomato salad that was placed in a clean bowl, leaving the dish to look perfect and clean. He’d have to not to never serve anything within a dirty bowl or plate, no matter if the new plate would just get dirty all on its own. Being able to look as perfect as it could possibly be was the only thing that mattered, taking the dirty utensils and used items and putting them into the sink. “Perfectionist? or is he just riddled with OCD” Beau teased, poking at the sleeping bear that guarded the entrance of its cave. “But in all seriousness.. thank you for helping me.” a porcelain smile appeared upon his features, a sweetness radiated from the corners of his mouth as it dropped golden strands of honey. Finley didn’t have help him, he could have just let Beau fend for himself and figure everything out on his own. Considering the other had his own list of chores, he heavily appreciated the others kindness towards him.

    all done <33

    STELLAN MONROE

    COMMANDER, "DEVILS INFERNO"

    METAL MANIPULATION


    Cotton candy pinks and bubblegum drops, the planet was that of a child’s fantasy. it radiated a certain level of pureness but held an underlying stickiness of left you questioning the pureness that engulfed you. stellan was out put off by the eyesore of bright colors, sweet scents of flowers and ripen fruits filled the nose as soon as they parted through the thick cloud of neon blue clouds that protected the cotton candy planet. while he made the final say on landing on this floating piece of candy, his two right hands hounded him when it showed up on the radar. It was damn near harassment, if he hadn’t had said yes Stellan imagined he wouldn’t be living anymore.


    Landing had been a piece of cake, it wasn’t as though he’d done this sort of thing a hundred times before— the thoughts of past explorations with a man that was anything short but chaotic and intense. Perhaps that blonde man was more insane than Stellan was, anyone that could handle a single droplet of what those two men hand to endure throughout their lives would ultimately be put away within an institution. As if their trauma was only for them to withhold, shallow chambers of broken tissue and despair filled howls that rumbled within. But enough of that, Stellan didn’t have the time to let dwindling thoughts of dark shades to cloud his mind when overwhelming scents of sweet honey drops filled in the space.


    “This. is. AMAZING”


    Hearing the squealing sounds of Katya filled his ears, a soft grunt coming past his lips as he glanced at her direction. It was amusing to say the least, while her excitement was slightly draining for the older man— he couldn’t say the planet hadn’t been a sight to behold. “An eye sore of pink, but it is… awesome” he softly teased, empathizing his last word similar to that of her own tone of voice. The soothing aura that surrounded the planet was a refresher, inhaling the sweet aroma that soaked this place. “Hopefully whatever lives here is similar.. pretty is a lot better then dangerous” he mumbled softly, glancing at the group that had made their way outside. Isabel had been right, while this place might have been a wonderland, the things that lived on this planet could possibly be the opposite. Beauty can mask some ugly things, a flawless mask that covered the broken, cracked mess that no one wanted to see. For all they knew, this place


    You wonder what could lay for them, who knew.. maybe things already knew they landed up their fertile planet. Being cautious and vigilant was essential, one could not let down their guard for a second because if you did you had a chance of not having a head on your shoulders anymore. Stellan hoped for the best regarding the living things here, hopefully they would be friendly but if not they were ready to handle altercation. Rolling his eyes to himself, he couldn't help but let his harden eyes become soft as they landed upon the face of Joziah. A smile smile grew upon his face, but he couldn't help but also take notice to Lia who just made her way down from the ship. It didn't take long for the blonde to let a ringing sound of annoyance sing within her vocal cords, though he couldn't help but mentally smirk at. A lady he loved dearly, even if she came off a little abrasive towards others. "We might as well figure out a game plan, can't get anything done just standing here" he said aloud, glancing at the different faces outside the ship "While I know how exciting it might be to go out and explore, it still dangerous.." he started off, biting on the inside of his cheek every so slightly "so a small group I think would work best" a tang of nicotine craving began to start up once again, but he tried his best to ignore it.


    "If worse comes to worse and one os us gets nabbed, ain't like we don't got trackers in these suits" a poor taste in a joke, he often found the humor in darker themes. perhaps it wasn't the best moment, but Stellan seemed to be in a better mood then he normally could be. Wonder what caused that, but who cared.. the bitter commander was being less of a hardass than he was; maybe thank that bright blue cloud they pierced through. Secretly and effectively leaving the crew to be at a docile temperament, easier to interact with and less likely to cause unwanted actions.


    [this post is very shitty and I kinda left it open to who wants to go on the scouting team and who wants to stay back!!]

    BARNABAS IRENE WINTERS

    Being given a scholarship that allowed him to walk the halls of Saint Francis school for boys had been a god send, if you could call it that. Honestly he would have accepted any type of deal with any school in Virgina if it meant getting away from him and the holy house that he had called ‘home.’ Spending his days reading holy books and writing in latin dialect, mind numbing as all can be. He had been thrown to the wolves, a place that reeked of old money and dirty secrets. Sticking out like a sore thumb, Barns kept to himself. Ignoring the stares and soft whispers that trailed behind him as he made through the halls, minding his own business the best that he could.


    A gentle sigh came past his lips as he let his finger tip trace against the spine of a book, no real motive. The feeling of the sleeve against his skin made goosebumps run down his arm, tilting his head as he read the lettering upon it. Nothing of use for him, but the comfort of these books served him greatly. Sticking his nose into anything that was remotely interesting, the only thing that allowed him to escape the reality of his life. While coming to this place had been a great deal of escape, he managed to get himself entangled in webs in which he couldn’t be free of. It appeared that a small group of boys had set their hawk like vision upon him, though it wasn’t that hard to pick him out. Barnabas wasn’t sure why, he wasn’t some rich kid that had much to offer. The only reason he was there was because of that fancy scholarship, a scholarship that was as common as a four leaf clover. An added leverage being a hand written letter from Father Winston, a man that had a hand within the all boys school and a very liked reputation. Anyone that Father Winston spoke highly of must have been good right? A split tongue fool that got far to excited at the sound of a whip, but terrified at the sights of an older man that looked docile as a fly.


    are you staying late tonight dear?


    a familiar, sweet voice came into tone as Barnabas was picking out a piece of literature. he couldn’t help but let his eyes soften, the corners of his mouth stayed neutral but the way he looked at eloise spoke more then a thousand words, all of which were soft and sweet. Barnabas never smiled, his facial features wore a permanent expression of neutrality and boredom. Hard to read and even harder to understand, he kept his cards close to his chest and preferred if people knew as little about him as possibly. Not as though anyone would want to know much about him as everything in his past and present were coated in a black substance that only could be described as trauma. It tasted foul, the scent made the hair in your nose burn and the feeling of bugs crawling underneath your skin— Barnabas has so many stories that he could fill this library and then some, all of which would make your stomach turn and vomit. Tales of a menacing catholic priest that put his hands all over an eight years old body all the way up until he turned seventeen years old, forcing him into positions in which he could not do. Nuns that had so much hate in their eyes yet whispered sweet nothings when they forced him in a closet at night, touching him in the same places as that of the priest. Starved, punched and cut, barnabas fought the monsters in his head as well as the ones that prayed on his body. At least he was several arms distances away from them right? that’s all that matters right? he liked to think it was, even if he was heavily damaged by his traumas and monsters.


    When am I not?” he said softly, giving her a simple nod of his head. The towering male had made it a habit to staying late, he liked being far away from the dorms as much as possible. As if being able to sleep in such a loud environment didn’t make him uncomfortable then the suffocating aura that was his dorm room made it impossible for anything to live. Barnabas hadn’t made note of the two individuals names that he was living with, each incredibly different in their own rights. “You know I can’t stand that dorm room of mine” Barnabas pressed on, leaning against the bookshelf lightly “Oh those boys are good! give them a chance my dear!” Eloise chirped, her tone was sweet to the ears and made the snarling dogs in his head go silent. Eloise was one of the first friendly faces he met here, she was also one of the very few facility that Barnabas liked. When he first started showing up at the library and staying late, she often coherence him to go back to his own dorm— but after a while she got used to seeing the only face after hours. She even would allow Barns to browse through the ‘forbidden’ section of the library, memorizing everything that was down there and where it was placed. There were times when he would pull a book from the shelves and read it while he was alone, Eloise sometimes left the key to the forbidden section every so often; he truly adored that woman.


    All Barnabas could do was offer her was a shrug of his shoulders, caressing the spine of the book in his hands. “Well don’t stay to late, you need to get some sleep Barns” she said softly, flashing a gentle grin before she began to make her way out of the library “I’ll see you tomorrow!” Eloise called out to him, waving before he was out of frame. That woman showed him more kindness then all of his eighteen years of life, if only he had more people like her in his own maybe he wouldn’t have come out so fucked up. Anyway, pushed himself off the bookshelf and headed towards a lonely table and chair in which he would stay for who knows how long.
