Marina Aleksandrova as Catherine the Great in Ekaterina

Happy Birthday dear @edwardslovelyelizabeth​ ♡

Nikki and Layla did as told getting in position and wondered where the heck callista had appeared from but honesty today had been an insane day and nothing should surprise them at this point

Vlad stared at the tincture before he downed it gagging. According to every doctor he had the worlds worst case of Anemia. He took his steak rarer than most would and his canines were far more prominent than others but that was fine. His skin burned easier in the sun that was fine too! He didn’t have a job outside so he could avoid that. Life was good, he made decent pay enough to cover expenses and a bit to put away for the rainy day or when his health bill was too much. Fruit helped.... that was the part the doctors couldn’t explain, why the fruit alleviated the symptoms. He had always been pale and stick like, but he figured he just couldn’t keep on weight.

Sometimes he had nightmares, ones that passed through his mind and stayed in the far back. Visions of himself soaked in blood, the bodies so many bodies, the smell of fire, brimstone and everything laid to waste. A firey crown perched over his head and a cry of anguish from his lips as he sat back upon a twisted throne and looked on at his work before him. Made for a good DnD plot.

His service dog was an enormous fluffball named Cerberus, though he didn’t start out so big, what had once been a five pound fluff had become a hundred thirty pound mass of muscle and fluff. Cerberus was a very protective dog and while he says that he saved Cerberus it was the other way around. He still thinks it was a dream, there was no way that the dog’s mouth unhinged and swallowed a gun.

Days passed the same, either working at the Bar, tending his bees, or playing video games till the crack of dawn pierced his red-eyed gaze. He attended the local university and was making his way in getting a doctorate in History. Having been praised for his writing and essays. The most common was, “you must have lived there in a past life!!!” He chuckled but honestly his dreams were rather vivid of things he shouldn’t know. He specifically had latched onto history of Eastern Europe.

Vlad currently was shaking a martini up at his job, dressed like a bard he acted as bartender. For a twenty dollar tip one could have him sing from a choice of songs that were provided on a easel next to the jar. Songs like ‘What is Love?’, to ‘Careless Whisper’, all the way to ‘Bad Romance’. It was a busy night and the sounds of rolling dice filled the air.

"maybe start by erasing some if the symbols?" Nikki asked staring at the portal nervously as she looked around

"or find block it up for a while until we can figure out what we do need to do"

Nikki nodded she wanted this to be over it had been a very long day

"when this is over I'm holing up in Angela's kitchen and eating all the sweets" Nikki said shaking her head "then I'm going to buy a giant tub of ice cream and cuddle.my boyfriend and my girlfriend while I eat it and watch Disney"

Hades grinned and pulled kit close

"three weeks of sleep and passion? Why didn't the apocalypse happen sooner?" Hades asked as he incinerated the lower level demons and kissed kit lovingly before letting him go and taking his hand as he hurried off to fight demons and save the world

Nikki laughed

"no need to be so dramatic we got your back" Nikki promised Vlad as she drew her sword proudly

"let's get started we have a lot of clean up to do!"

Nikki was still trying to get the door open, her and Layla were locked in a holding cell and Layla wasn't doing well, she'd been given some kind of anesthetic and was pretty groggy Nikki was going to kill these knights when she figured out what the frig was going on

Rohan flipped the switch on the gun quickly and began covering behind them

"knew the man was mad but this is a little out there even for him" Rohan said watching as the creatures began filing out of their cells behind them

Eupraxia smiled and cupped her son's face in her hands

"they love you Vlad, if you show regret and let go of your pride they'll forgive you." Eupraxia told him smiling

"and I know, she used to come to the garden and talk to me when you were to busy to be spending time with her. She's a sweet girl she just needs a little help"

|| another time, another way. || Multi

Everyone was mad and looking for her, they didn’t get the story or else they would have murdered their queen too, hell the way the dad acted they probably would have thrown him in there as well but that wasn’t his focus right now.

The focus was Daria, the poor girl was practically shaking as they hurried through the dark night and he was guiding her as best he could, they had no light but he could see still demon eyes were wonderful that way. He just had to get her to Hades right? Hades always knew what to do and despite everything he was good with dealing with kids and crossing boarders would somewhat keep her safe right?

Julius lead Daria around a root so she wouldn’t trip before he could see light through the trees, not far up ahead a few small candles still flickered in the windows and he smiled as they got closer and Julius knocked loudly in the doors and looked at Daria she was still frightened and probably in shock it had been far to long of an adventure of them running and he actually felt bad for the kid. First murder,her entire country out to kill her for it….yeah it was a mess for a teenager to have to deal with.when the door opened Julius smiled

“forgive me for the interruption I know it’s late but my companion and I request lodgings for the night and uh….” Julius figured out how to out this,Hades was the boogeyman he couldn’t pull that card yet

“the prince is a Friend of miss Daria’s”

Eupraxia smiled and stood on her tip toes to press a gentle kiss to her son's forehead

"then you are already miles above your father in all you do. I raised you to have compassion and to care for others, you've gone down a dark path and I wish I could have been there to help you. You are who you decide to be not what your blood decides. If blood decided such things your Daria would have been a stuck up royal like her father or cruel like her grandfather." Daria told him she knew Daria herself was a little lost herself but she had people working towards her happiness and well being as well.

"blood means nothing, actions do"

Eupraxia listened never faltering as she heard her son out on all she had missed, she had been watching and had known but she wouldn't say anything until he had finished

"do you regret it?" Eupraxia asked him not yet answering his question as she asked her own

Eupraxia hugged him tight and smiled brightly

"I love and miss you too," she told him she pulled back and looked over her son, now an adult and she just smiled as she reached out and began fixing his hair

"look at you, what happened to my sweet baby boy?" She asked with a bit of a pout as she compared their height with her hand for a moment

Honey smiled gently at him and kissed the palm of his hand sweetly  “Please, you can’t lose me if you tried.” she teased him “You’re just lucky your descendants are stronger than they look.” She said looking over to where nikki was talking with some cast members who were asking if she was okay, Sweeney todd had obviously woken up and explained about the imposter knocking him out and Nikki was weaving a story about a stalker that was being taken care of.

Layla had just pulled herself up onto the stage when Nikki rammed her head into Sophia’s jaw before throwing her weight into her to knock the other woman down onto the ground and wrenching the knife from her hand

“or...ya know you got this.” Layla said with a sigh of relief as she came over seeing she wasn’t going to have to pull her gun out. she looked Nikki over and once she was sure she was okay she grabbed her by the hand 

“Come on, before-” and just like that the sprinklers went off raining down water on all of them and Layla let out an irritated sigh  “That...That happens.”

Enjoy the show (MULTI)

Nikki smiled and waved as she went back stage where she noticed one of the back doors were open Nikki frowned and looekd outside, one of the cast members ust have slipped outside for a smoke break. All she could think about is that they better not have been wearing their costume because if the entire stage smelled like cigarettes she was going to kill someone as she shut it and this time made sure it was locked before going back to fix her makeup

“She’s so cute,” Carina beamed giggling a little as she looked at Ezra “She’s so excited, is she always like this when she’s in a play?”  Layla nodded 

“yeah no matter who she plays she gets all bubbly and excited she says it’s the best feeling in the world” Layla said to them before she chomped into a crunch bar and headed back into the theater to reclaim their seats

Act two began just as it should, the pie shop booming with business and a few people asking about the peculiar chimney smoke which “Miss Lovette” Brushes off with a word and sells one of her “Delicious” pies

Enjoy the show (MULTI)

Nikki laughed a little 

“Aww thank you guys! you’re all so sweet!” Nikki said she was beaming she was so touched that so many of her loved ones had come out to see her show her parents had been invited but had opted to come to a different show than the rest of the family. Nikki knew it had to do with Vlad tormenting them and them wanting to avoid Layla but she wasn’t going to question it.

“I really appreciate you all coming” She said she checked the clock and saw they were going to flash the lights soon and so she gave one last hug to everyone in reach 

“i’ve got to get back to makeup and help with the set up for the next scene. Love you guys!” Nikki said before she hurried back through the stage door to get back there

Enjoy the show (MULTI)

By the end of act one Nikki was beyond excited that things were going so well! She managed to slip into the foyer so she could say hello during intermission and smiled when she spotted Vlad first and hugged him

“You made it!” she said excitedly she was so happy to see him getting out of the castle more and not causing trouble

Enjoy the show (MULTI)

everything went quiet as the play began Carina squeezed Ezra’s hand excitedly the first time Nikki came on to resist shouting about how cute their girlfriend was. Everything was going beautifully! Nikki delivered her lines flawlessly though she did notice Layla mouthing some of the words involuntarily, someone had to help her practice after all.

Enjoy the show (MULTI)

It was finally here!! The opening night of Sweeney Todd! gosh she felt like this had been way to long in the making. Everything was totally chaotic back stage, everyone putting their costumes on and finding their props, Nikki could already hear the buzzing of people as they began to file in and her heart was racing a mile a minute! No matter what she did when opening night came it was always that same wonderful feeling every time. 

Nikki helped a girl tie the corset for her dress and shipped her off to make up before she crept to where stage right was, she pulled the curtain back a little bit and smiled seeing all her loved ones all somewhere in the audience, SHe could see Layla waving at he no matter how hard nikki tried to hide and act professional her sister always ruined it. She could see Carina next to her blowing her a kiss and it made her blush. Honey was a few rows back and people were still filing in but it was totally nerve wracking knowing all these people she cared about were coming to the show.
