Transistor Chapter 7
Jophiel went to the Demiurge, and pleaded the case of the Nephilim, and the Demiurge rescinded its decree. The Nephilim were free to exist.
So the angel of Mercy and Wisdom went over the head of the angel of Judgement Killer of Children who was basically tailor made to be a ragingly entitled and judgemental asshole and made him redundant. And unfortunately for everyone involved instead of rewiring judgy-mc-judge-face, or giving him new actually monstrous things to judge and murder as enrichment, the Demiurge just went "no more nephilim hunting" and peaced out to deal with literally anything else?
Am I getting that right? I have decided I am getting that right. I guess we'll find out as the story progresses.
My ultimate take away is that all angels in all fiction have daddy issues.
Well parental issues, but daddy issues is gonna get a funnier reaction the next time I'm talking with my religious friend.
Or maybe I should use mommy issues???
You know since the meme is more to the tune that daddy issues give you low self esteem and mommy issues make you homicidal?
Phanuel has mommy issues.

Obey Me! Characters and Tattoo Headcannons
Lucifer
I know we've canonically seen him in more revealing clothes, but hear me out. Lucifer covered in tattoos. He wears very conservative and full coverage clothes to look 'professional' and 'proper' as the right hand of Diavolo even though Diavolo literally would not care.
But seriously. Imagine Lucifer with neck and hand tattoos, little edges of tattoos peeking out under his gloves and sleeves...
Respects good art, tattoos included, especially because he also knows the pain that's involved in the tattooing process.
Maybe he got them all not long after his fall during his coping process to help work through the emotional pain, and as a way to solidify his rebellion.
Mammon
Loves tattoos and piercings, but is scared to get any himself (other than his earrings) because of the pain.
Would probably get smaller piercings like a nose and tongue ring.
Still the most likely to get drunk and get a stupid tattoo.
Is a SIMP for an MC with tattoos because he thinks they're badass.
I cannot stress how much this man simps. LIke. Seriously. SIMPS.
Leviathan
Low key scared of MC at first if they're covered in tattoos.
Would consider getting a tattoo if it was anime or gaming themed, but would 1000% chicken out.
Thinks they're cool, just not his thing.
Satan
Appreciates art in most forms, and can admit when something looks good, but is still a little pretentious.
Thinks tattoos should have meaning.
Would maybe consider a cat tattoo if drunk, or if MC can broaden his perspective on what he considers art.
Asmo
Does not want to blemish his perfect skin
Is still very into tattoos on other people.
Definitely judges if they don't look good though.
Has tried to convince people (Solomon) to get his name tattooed on them.
Beelzebub
Canonically has at least one tattoo, but I think he has several
Just gets whatever he thinks is neat
Avoids food-related tattoos, though. He's low-key afraid he might try to eat it.
Also likes tattoos on others, but isn't judgy. As long as you like it, that's what matters.
Also simps for an MC with tattoos. Not as much as Mammon, but it definitely does something for him.
Belphegor
Probably has a matching tattoo with Beel somewhere, but it's small.
Definitely also a simp for an MC with tattoos. Like, near Mammon level simp.
Not really interested in getting any more tattoos or any piercings.
Diavolo
Really wants a tattoo but Barbatos won't let him get one because of his position as future King.
Respects people with tattoos, because he know's they can be really painful.
Low-key simps for an MC with tattoos, but has a great poker face.
Barbatos
Probably covered in tattoos, but no one would ever know.
Another simp
Solomon
He's been around the block. He definitely has at least one tattoo.
Most likely to have a stupid tattoo (that Asmo HATES)
Would be 2nd most likely after Mammon, but I think Solomon would've gotten his first tbh
Simeon
Appreciates art in all forms, but is still a little uptight about tattoos
Has to admit they look good on MC, though.
Again, as long as you like it, that's what matters.
He would never get one, though.
Not for any religious reasons, or anything. He's just not interested in them for himself.
Luke
Does not understand tattoos
Also kind of scared at first if MC has a lot of tattoos
Too young
Would probably love temporary tattoos, though he'd hate to admit it because 'That's kid stuff!'

👏 MM fandom, I really want to talk about this 👏
《 Big rant ahead!》
I am damn sure most part of the mystic messenger fandom perceives Jumin like this 🚶‍♀️:
But whatever....
Let's get into the real matter that I wanted to say to the fandom in general.
The prejudice we, Jumin Han fans have to face, is a LOT ! . I mean, I am not even exaggerating, it is a LOT , LOT 👁👄👁
I am tired of it seriously, and as a Jumin fan, I want to justify some things, the statements and judgy things that I have to see on a daily basis 🤐, so here it goes....
•"Jumin is a manipulative & an abusive person who doesn't even care about MC's well being, what a jerk! " ( just to be clear here, this was in my asks, which I don't want to post, she was a 'someone' fan, and started saying reasons why that someone is much better than my fav, I don't tolerate this attitude ) So, this person was okay with 'someone' who treated them like a pain in the ass for 'protecting' them, totally covered it up by saying he was just being a 'tsundere', and gave him a free pass because he had a 'tragic past' and has much bigger problems than my fav ( when did people start measuring problems haha ? ) . I have told this a million times, but I will say it again,JUMIN ISN'T AN ABUSER , he does care about MC's well being and why do you think he makes MC to stay with him, for her safety. I know my man has problems and I can deal with it , so leave my man alone 👀
( ⚠️ no hate towards 'someone' fans, as long as you recognize his flaws, I wouldn't mind. I am talking about the toxic ones who love to show that their 'someone' is a much better choice , and others are not , by twisting some of their actions into something vile ⚠️ )
•"Omg, Jumin is so creepy, he kidnapped me, he is a borderline YANDERE and is not leaving me alone, I really want to go back to the apartment"....um, logically speaking, MC goes to his penthouse on her OWN ACCORD,not because Jumin invited her and his penthouse is much safer when compared to that apartment. Like, imagine living in a stranger's house knowing nothing about your safety, if I were MC ,I wouldn't mind staying at Jumin's penthouse , until the whole 'unknown hacker' thing is resolved, and you may say that he himself is a stranger to MC, but he starts caring for you as soon as you get his attention , he never lays a finger on you unless you want to, so he seems to be safe for me . If you really wanted to go to the apartment, then go ahead, say all the rude things u want to, a surprise will be waiting for u there, which you claimed to be 'safe', so Chile, anyways-
• " Jumin is a bad boss, jaehee's route says it all 💀, he made her cut her hair, over worked her. That guy is a soul less demon who doesn't care about his employees welfare "....alright.., the classic excuse, I see, Jaehee fans, u guys get a free pass for this, he was a jerk in that route, but calling him a bad boss? Hmm....I don't think I have ever seen a boss who wouldn't mind seeing their assistant shitting on them , but he leaves Jaehee to do that. That hair cut part pissed me off, but he only did this, with the aim to protect her from his father. Jaehee could have communicated her difficulties before hand, instead of not doing her work properly (with regards to jaehee's route) , there is always a option called 'resignation', u knw, jaehee ^^ moreover , he did not under pay her at all, she was a well paid employee, he even a gives a vacation for her in his route, what boss would do that? . And, for your kind information, no one in the whole RFA, not even MC, were concerned about jumin when he took seven's car and went on for a ride eventhough he doesn't even knw how to drive, like isn't this is a warning sign? . He himself had a hard time in jaehee's route, so just like how jaehee stans understand her part of the story, I understood Jumin's part of the story despite playing jaehee's route BEFORE Jumin's route.
• "Jumin han fans seems to love abuse, what the hell is wrong with them?!" As a person who had an abusive friendship , I can totally confirm, that, he is a bit controlling, but not ABUSIVE , please stop throwing the word abuse just like that , i have already seen a number of fans victim blaming.
• "U like Jumin Han from Mystic messenger ? Then, you must have daddy issues 💫?! haha...". I have a healthy relationship with my dad, who is my role model and admire him a lot so I don't think you can judge me just because i love a guy who looks dominant to you 👀
• "Oh wow, u love Jumin, that means you are into kinky stuff ?" 😐 again, People with kink, I don't have anything against you, you enjoy ur thing! It's just that I don't like it when some people generalize other fans.
I did miss a statement, we all know the infamous " 50 shades of Jumin Han" duh....🥴
I sometimes feel uncomfortable to even say that my fav character is Jumin Han, cuz all the replies would be like, "OMG! DADDY, 50 SHADES OF JUMIN". I have to say this, if you are a fan of Jumin only because of that infamous BE2 and not because of his character, u r not even a fan of Jumin, I am sorry if I offended any fans of that end but the fact that some of us are glorifying it too much pains me.
This is how Jumin really is to us, (i. e, real fans of Jumin), whether u believe it or not :
Tumblr media
• He had a hard time connecting with people which in turns made him look unempathetic and selfish because of his familial issues.
• He yearns for someone who can understand and love him just the way he is , I mean ,what do you expect? his 'friends' doesn't even give a shit about him, his first love & his best friend, has 'gone' far away. This is the biggest reason he even clings to you like anything.
• He definitely isn't a daddy dom material, he is that soft loyal hubby type who gets very serious when it comes to work. Actually he is like a mirror, he gives back to you, what you give it to him, be it love , lust ( in context with his BE2 ) or whatever it might be
• He literally begs MC to stay with him at one point, only because he thinks that she can understand him much better than his 'friends', or his cat, Elizabeth the 3rd.
• Jumin isn't perfect , so obviously he made a number of mistakes too..especially in jaehee's route . He has done some good and bad deeds and I acknowledge both as it is 💯
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
Jumin wants love and he deserves all the love just like other characters and Please stop generalizing all the fans , even if you hate that character, it's always better to ignore it rather than hating on it .
Fin !
Thank you for reading this, it means a lot to me 💕
Sincerely, from a Jumin Han fan 💜

Lost and Found - an Ethan Ramsey x MC fanfic
Pairing: Ethan Ramsey x f!MC (Dr. Claire King).
Chapter Rating: T
Word Count: 3000+
Description: Claire’s friends suspect that she’s dating someone and want to know who. They come up with a good plan to try and figure out who.
Disclaimer: Characters, storyline, and parts of the dialogue are taken from Pixelberry’s Choices’ Open Heart. They fully own the characters, dialogue, backgrounds, etc. MC Claire King’s background is my own creation, based off of MC in-game’s personality.
Author’s Note: Hello! This is my first Open Heart and Ethan Ramsey fanfic. This is an Ethan x MC fanfic in the sense that Claire is pursuing Ethan, but it circles mostly around her friends. Please let me know what you think!
Claire feels the chest underneath her head shift, and she groans in protest, turning her face so she’s burying her face in his chest. Ethan runs his hand delicately along her bedraggled blonde hair. “Claire,” he whispers her name.
“No,” she mumbles, snuggling closer to him. The sunlight hits her eyes, and she furrows her brows. She lazily opens her eyes, and the alarm bells go off when she realizes that it’s day. “Oh my God,” she stutters, throwing herself off of Ethan’s chest. 
“What’s wrong?” he asks, watching her naked body slip out of the sheets. She leans down and picks up her bra. She slides it on hastily and jumps out of bed. 
“I’m not supposed to spend the night,” she says quickly. She searches for her panties on the floor and finds them under the bed. How the hell had they gotten under the bed? Whatever. 
“It’s okay, Claire,” Ethan insists. “Really, it’s fine.”
“I know, I know,” Claire says, and she shrugs her panties on and then reaches for her shirt that Ethan had tossed across the room last night. “I just… I can’t be late.”
“I’m sure it’ll be okay,” he assures her. He raises his brows at her. “Something tells me that your attending will be okay with it.”
She winces at the reminder that Ethan is in fact, still just Dr. Ramsey while they’re at the hospital. After winning her trial in regards to Mrs. Martinez, she and Ethan tried being just colleagues. Clearly they failed, but they decided to keep things quiet, at least until she finished her residency. At that point she’ll become a senior fellow and be studying to become an attending, so at least she and Ethan will be on a more even professional level. Hopefully people won’t be so judgy at that point. There’s the little detail that she’s still on his diagnostics team, but hopefully they’ll become one of those power doctor couples, like Derek Shepherd and Meredith Grey.
“It’s not that,” she says, but she’s giving him a cute smile, which he mirrors at the sight of hers. “I didn’t come home last night. I always come home before my roommates wake up.” She walks over to his side of the bed (she still feels a tingle in her stomach when she refers to Ethan’s bed as having sides, because that implies that she has a claim over half of his bed) and looks for her jeans. “Shit, where are my pants?”
“I think you lost them somewhere in the living room,” he answers, pointing to the doorway. “Why is it so important to go home before your roommates wake up?”
“Because they don’t know that we’re together,” she explains. She runs out of the room and finds her pants on the couch where Ethan had taken them off. She grabs them and starts pulling them on as she runs back to Ethan’s room. He’s still lying in bed, all naked and sexy and sleep-tousled. All she wants to do is crawl into bed next to him and pick off where they left off last night, but she’ll be really late. “And they can’t know that we’re together.” She hopes on one foot as she puts her legs through the holes. “If I come home in broad daylight, they’ll ask questions. More and more until I cave and answer and then this?” She gestures between the two of them. “Will be done. And I can’t let this be done.” She buttons her jeans. Claire grabs her watch off of the side table. “Shit, I can’t make it back home in time to change my clothes.” She slides the watch onto her wrist. “I’ll just change into my scrubs at the hospital.” 
Ethan grabs her wrist and pulls him to his chest. Claire protests but she’s giggling as he drops open mouth kisses to her throat. “You don’t have to go anywhere,” he murmurs against her skin. “You can stay right here. I can put in a good word for you with your boss.”
 He moves lower down her chest, his lips hot and hard. Claire tips her head back and lets out a moan. She dips her head and kisses him, long and hard. Over and over again. Ethan’s fingers creep up her shirt and he’s about to pull it off, but Claire comes back to her senses. She laughs and pulls away from him, moving his hand away from her shirt. “I really have to go.” She kisses him one last time before finally tearing away from him. She pats his cheek. “I’ll see you at the hospital.”
                                                           ***
“Five, four, three, two, one!” Elijah says, pointing to the doorway. 
“Elijah, you’ve done that four times now,” Jackie points out, pulling a banana out of her locker. “She’s not going to walk through that door before rounds start.”
“You don’t know that!” Elijah protests. He wheels over to Sienna. “She could be walking through the hospital right now.”
“I’m telling you, it’s gonna be the walk of shame.” Bryce pulls his scrub top on. “Claire is never late to work. I bet you it’s because she got lucky last night.”
“You know, she has been acting weird lately,” Sienna says from her spot on the bench. “Maybe she is seeing someone.”
“‘Seeing someone’ isn’t the phrase I used,” Bryce points out. He bends down to tie his shoelace.
Jackie frowns at him. “What are you even doing here, scalpel jockey? This part of the hospital is reserved for those who can talk to their patients for longer than the five minutes before they’re put under anesthesia.” 
Bryce gives her an unimpressed look. “I’m here to enjoy the Walk of Shame: Claire King edition, just like the rest of you.”
“So what if she’s seeing someone and having sex with them?” Sienna wonders. “There’s nothing wrong with that. She’s an adult. If anything as her friends we should be happy and supportive.”
“We’re not saying that, Sienna,” Bryce says. He leans against the locker beside Jackie. “I’m just saying that she’s clearly dating someone that she doesn’t want us to know.”
“What makes you say that?” Elijah asks.
“If she didn’t have a problem with us knowing who she’s dating, she’d tell us,” Bryce points out. “The fact that she’s not, that she’s sneaking around, coming home late, being late for work, means she doesn’t want us to know who it is.”
“So you think she’s having scandalous sex?” Jackie wonders. “Maybe it’s a gynie.”
Bryce scoffs. “Please, Claire has more standards than to resign herself to someone from the vagina squad.”
“Well then who could it be?” Elijah wonders. 
Bryce’s brow is furrowed, then his eyes light up and he claps his hands. “All right, first person who finds out who Claire’s dating gets fifty bucks from the rest of us.”
“Fifty bucks, huh?” Jackie rubs her chin, then nods. “What the hell? I’m in.”
“Me too!” Sienna says. “It’ll be fun to get Claire to open up to one of us.”
“Fifty bucks is fifty bucks,” Elijah says. He cracks his knuckles. “You’re all about to fifty bucks poorer.”
“So we’re on?” Bryce clarifies.
“We’re on,” they all chorus, and just in time too, because Claire comes barreling through into the locker room. Her blue eyes are wide and wild and her hair is sticking up in different directions, and from the looks of it she’s still wearing her clothes from the previous day. Her friends all swallow their knowing smiles and turn away as she screeches to a stop in front of her locker. 
“Have Zaid and Ines showed up yet?” She asks hastily. She pulls her top over her head and tosses it into the locker, then grabs her scrub top. 
“No, you’re good,” Jackie answers. She crosses her arms over her chest and looks over to her roommates, who are all staring at Claire. Jackie clears her throat and asks, “So where were you last night?”
Claire pauses for a second but then she resumes pulling her pants on. “I was out late.”
“So late you didn’t come home?” Elijah asks.
“I came home,” she lies swiftly. She grabs her lab coat and pulls it on. She takes her stethoscope out of her pocket and wraps it around her neck. She lets out a low growl of frustration as she shifts things around in her locker. “Where the hell is it?”
“Where the hell is what?” Bryce wonders.
“My blue scrunchie,” Claire answers. She looks over her shoulder at her friends. They’re all staring at her strangely, but she ignores it. “My favourite blue scrunchie? I always wear it. It’s the only thing that can keep my hair out of my face properly.”
“Sorry, don’t know,” Sienna replies with a raise of her shoulder.
“Damn it,” Claire curses. She peeks into her locker again, but their pages all go off. 
“Incoming trauma,” Elijah says what all their pagers say. He tucks his back into his pocket. “Let’s go.” 
                                                            ***
Most of the incoming traumas are surgical cases resulting from a multiple car pile up, so the diagnostic interns let the surgical intern take the patients. Instead the rest of them check on the patients whose injuries aren’t surgical, who need stitches or bump checks or concussion exams. By the time they’re done, Claire heads to a quiet hall and slumps against the wall, dropping down to sit. 
After a minute or so Elijah appears, stopping his wheelchair in front of Claire. “That was a doozy, huh?”
“Yeah,” Claire mumbles. Her stomach growls, and she rubs at the gnawing pain. She missed her breakfast and a quick glance down at her watch shows it to be almost eleven. 
“So are you dating somebody?” Elijah asks bluntly.
Claire blinks at him. Several alarm bells are going off in her head. Does he know? Does he know somehow? She and Ethan have been so careful! “What?” 
“You just… you didn’t come home last night,” Elijah replies sheepishly. He figured that a direct approach would be the best one, but judging on the offended look on Claire’s face she doesn’t appreciate it. “And I know you’re lying, because I spent the night passed out on the couch after reading a medical journal. I didn’t hear anyone come in or out.” 
“So the only conclusion is that I’m sleeping with someone?” she asks. “What if I went to go visit a friend?”
Elijah gives her a look. “Claire, you practically live at this hospital. You don’t have any other friends.”
“Ow,” she says, holding out her hands in offence. “That may be true but no need to just put it out there like that.”
“Sorry,” Elijah mumbles. “Are you, though?”
Before Claire can think of an excuse to give him, her pager beeps. She lifts it to her face to see that it’s in fact her boyfriend Ethan Ramsey paging her. She pushes herself off of the ground. “Gotta go, Dr. Ramsey’s paging me.”
“Oh, okay,” Elijah says as she walks around him. He turns his wheelchair around. “Hey, maybe we can continue this talk-”
But Claire’s already gone, lost in the sea of other medical practitioners down the hall.
“Later.” 
Damn. He’s going to be fifty bucks poorer, huh?
                                                          ***
Ethan had paged her to debrief her on a new case (and okay, to sneak a few kisses here and there in his private office) but once they’re done Claire decides to get some lunch before afternoon rounds. She missed breakfast because she slept over at Ethan’s and then didn’t have the time to grab anything. It’s been a year but she’s still not one hundred percent behind the hospital food, but she has no choice. She stands in line and grabs a sandwich, a salad, and an apple. She pays for her meal and then collapsing at a table.
Claire’s about to dig in when Sienna slides in the seat next to her. “Hello, sunshine!” she greets brightly. 
Claire holds up a finger. “Wait.” She picks up her sandwich and takes a large bite. She chews and then swallows, then nods and turns to her friend. “Okay, now I can talk.”
Sienna giggles, picking up her own fork. “Hungry today, are we?”
“Starving.” She takes another bite. “I didn’t have breakfast this morning.”
Sienna perks up. Perfect segway. She twirls her fork around in her hand a couple of times and asks, “Why not?”
Claire freezes momentarily but recovers quickly and takes a sip of her water. “Running late for rounds. Just didn’t have the time.”
“Why were you running late?” she asks. She scoots her chair closer to Claire, and Claire frowns and pulls away from Sienna a bit. 
She looks Sienna up and down. “Personal space, please?” 
Sienna pouts but moves away from Claire. “Okay, will you answer me now?”
“I was just caught in traffic,” Claire lies quickly. She picks up her fork and jabs at her salad. “Nothing else.”
“Really?” Sienna whispers. She leans close to Claire again. “You can tell me, you know.”
Claire, intrigued, also leans forward a bit. “Tell you what?”
“If you’re seeing someone!”
Claire drops her fork in surprise. “What?” 
“I’ve been wondering for a while now. If you’ve been seeing someone. You’ve been a lot happier than you’ve been in a while. I was just wondering who.”
Was she and Ethan really that bad at hiding their relationship? Maybe not, because as far as she knows it’s only Claire that’s being asked about her relationship status. 
She opens her mouth to try and come up with a good lie when someone slams a tray down next to them. Both she and Sienna jump in surprise, and then look up to see Ines and Zaid sitting down at their table. 
“Claire! Sienna! Mind if we join you?” Ines asks, already scooting her chair into the table.
“For the record I wanted to sit elsewhere,” Zaid volunteers without anyone asking. He picks up his spoon and picks up some soup, slurping on it gently. 
Ines swats his shoulder. “Zaid, manners!” she scolds, but she turns back to Claire and Sienna. “Anyways, I wanted an update on your patient in room 324.” 
Claire lets out a relieved sigh and dives into the information on Kelly Long, the patient in room 324. She’d dodged yet another bullet.
                                                        ***
After lunch are the afternoon rounds, and Claire has hers with Jackie which frankly she’s relieved about. After her stressful trauma morning and then Elijah and Sienna hinting that they may know that she’s dating Ethan, she’s glad to have Jackie by her side, who never pries into her personal life. 
They’re walking side by side, charts in their arms, when all of a sudden Jackie asks, “Do you think Bryce is hot?”
Claire fumbles with the files in her arms in surprise. “Why? Are you interested in him?”
“What?” Jackie scoffs. “God no. Too much penis for me.”
Claire chuckles. “Then why are you asking?”
“I’m asking for you,” Jackie clarifies, and Claire’s face drops. “Do you think he’s hot?”
“Did Bryce ask you to ask me that?” Claire wonders. Her stomach squeezes at the thought. Sure, she made out with Bryce her first day as an intern, but after that the two had become good friends, and then she fell for Ethan and made sure Bryce knew that what they had between them was strictly platonic. Or so she thought. 
“Oh, no,” Jackie backsteps. 
Claire sighs in relief. “Good. Bryce and I are just friends.”
“Good to know,” Jackie says with a smirk. “I can cross him off, then.”
“Cross him off what?”
“The list that I made about who you’re hooking up with,” Jackie answers.
Claire whips her head to look at her in surprise. “Excu-” she starts, but she’s cut off by the sound of her smacking right into wall. She drops all the charts in her hands, and the papers fly out everywhere. Her nose gushes blood, and she pinches it to keep more from coming out. 
Jackie makes a face. “Ooh, that’s got to hurt.”
Claire stares at Jackie in disbelief and lets out a tiny groan of pain.
                                                         ***
Claire winces as Bryce pulls on a pair of gloves. “Come on it’s not that bad, you big baby,” he says with an eye roll. He grabs the forceps in the kit next to him, and then uses it to pick up a piece of gauze. 
“Is it broken?” She asks. She really doesn’t want to go home to Ethan with a broken nose. Having a broken nose would really deter the hot sex she’s anticipating tonight. Broken noses are not sexy. 
“I don’t think so.” He blots at the blood around her nose. “The blood’s already stopped, so it’s probably just bruised.”
“Thank you, doctor,” she says with a silly grin, but that grin contorts as he dabs at a particularly sensitive part. “Ow.”
“Sorry,” he says. He pauses to move some hair strands out of her face. 
She groans and tucks her hair around her ears. “Sorry. I can’t find my damn scrunchie.”
“Did you check the lost and found?”
“No, but I should.” She winces again when he wipes under her nose. “Ow!”
“Sorry!” Bryce says again. “How’d this happen, anyways?”
“Ran into a wall while talking to Jackie,” she replies. “I was surprised by what she said, and I wasn’t paying attention, so I ran into the wall.”
“Surprised by what she said?” Bryce repeats, and his mind goes to the bet that he and his roommates made earlier in the day. Damn it. Jackie was at least getting somewhere if Claire was so surprised by what she said she ran into a damn wall. 
“She asked me a question,” Claire clarifies. “I wasn’t expecting it. Ergo, nose bleed.”
He drops the forceps and used gauze into the metal bin. “Okay, so I don’t think you need an x-ray. There was minimal blood and minimal bruising, so I think you’re good.” 
“Great,” Claire says. She hops off of the exam table. “I’m going to go get a pain meds prescription.”
She heads towards the door, and Bryce realizes that this may be his only opportunity to find out who she’s dating. So he blurts out, “Wanna have sex?”
Claire pauses with her hand on the door. She looks over her shoulder at Bryce. “Excuse me?”
He nods around at the empty exam room. “There’s nobody in here, will probably be no one in here for a while.” He looks behind him at the exam table and gestures to it. “There’s a bed.” He looks back over at Claire. “Wanna have sex?”
Claire furrows her brows at him. “Bryce, I’m gonna say this as nicely as possible.” She turns to face him and puts her hands in her pockets. “I’m not interested. I only like you as a friend.”
“And you’re seeing someone,” Bryce adds.
“And I’m seeing someone,” Claire nods, and she realizes the mistake she’s made. Her eyes widen and her hand flies to her mouth. 
“Ah hah!” Bryce points to her with his finger. “Who are you sleeping with?”
She drops her hand from her mouth. “So not your business!” She opens the door and storms out, shutting the door behind her. 
Stupid! Stupid! She thinks to herself as she strides down the hall. She was so close to accidentally revealing her relationship with Ethan. Multiple times! In one day. Ugh, she never should’ve been late for work this morning. That was the last time she stays over at Ethan’s. 
And she still misses her scrunchie.
                                                          ***
It’s the end of the day, and all of the interns are hanging out on the stairs by the nurse’s station. Claire is standing at the nurses station, scribbling something down in a chart. She looks up at her group of friends, then turns her nose up and looks away from them. 
“I guess we deserve that,” Bryce says, leaning against the rail. 
“You’re not the one who accidentally made her break her nose,” Jackie mumbles, sipping from a juice box she stole from a patient’s tray. 
“So did anybody end up finding out?” Sienna asks. 
“I didn’t get anywhere,” Elijah says. “You?”
They all shake their heads. “I really thought I’d get her to open up,” Sienna says. “We’re dolphins!”
“I don’t know what that means, but it would’ve been nice to have something to tease her about,” Bryce says. “I wonder who it is, though.”
Claire peers up at her friends sitting at the bottom of the staircase. She shakes her head at them and hands the chart to the nurse. She pockets her pen and then stalks over to them. “I don’t know what got into everyone today,” Claire starts. “But my personal life is off limits to you guys. You’re all my people, my family,” she continues. “But that doesn’t mean I have to tell you all the details of what or who,” she gives them all a pointed look. “I do in my private time.” She crosses her arms over her chest. “I love you all. But what I’ve got going on with this person is fragile and new and I don’t want to mess it up or jinx it. So please.” She clasps her hands in a prayer position. “If any of you care about me like I hope you do, you’ll keep your noses in your own business. Are we clear?”
A wave of shame crosses the face of her roommates in turn. They all shift uncomfortably but eventually nod. 
“Good,” she says.
Just then, Dr. Ramsey passes by the group. He nods at them all as he does, coming to a stop next to Claire. “What’s going on?” 
“Nothing,” they all chorus.
“Nothing? Really?” he repeats. He glares at them all, including Claire, but she knows that his annoyance at her is just for show-mostly. “This is a hospital. There is always something going on. And if there’s not, then why are you hanging around here, on the stairs?” He waves at them and then places his hand in his pocket. “Go!”
They all scramble to their feet, and Claire moves to follow her friends. Claire looks over her shoulder at Ethan, just in time to see him bring his hand out of his pocket, holding… 
Her eyes widen to the size of saucers and her eyes shoot up to her forehead. “The hell?” Ethan says as he examines what’s in his hand. 
Bryce, Jackie, Sienna, and Elijah all also turn to see what’s got Dr. Ramsey so perplexed, and their jaws all drop comically at the same time at the sight. 
Ethan shakes his head and holds the thing out to Claire. “King, drop whatever this is off to lost and found on your way home.” 
Claire swallows back her dread as she takes her blue scrunchie out of Ethan’s hand. Now that it’s back in her hand, the memory of where it went floods her mind. She and Ethan had been fooling around in a supply closet, and he pulled her scrunchie out of her hair to run his fingers through it. She’d thought it was so hot, and then she reattached her lips to his. “Of course, Dr. Ramsey,” She stammers. 
He smiles at her and pats her on the arm before walking down the hall. Slowly, Claire turns around to face her friends, the dread and horror unable to leave her face. 
They’re all staring at her with a look she’s sure she has on her face right now, but they’ve also got confusion mixed with it. 
They all stand there for one minute. Then two. Then three. 
Finally, Bryce opens his mouth. “So who’s getting the fifty bucks?”

these are the placements in my natal chart that make up the biggest parts of my identity:
neptune in capricorn in the 1st house - this almost works as my scorpio mercury, but inside my head, and like my jupiter sagittarius, but in my EQ. this is how i see right through people intuitively, this is how people become mesmerized with me, where they feel this strange mystical allure and a part of why people have a hard time forgetting me. this is where i relate to only, and intensely appreciate only, people who consciously and subconsciously understand the complexity of emotions, behaviors, energies and that things become whatever you make them into, before anything else. this is what makes me capable of energies that enter peoples dreams (bear with me here) and being able to sense peoples presence without them being physically close to me. to be honest, i think this placement could make me almost clairvoyant, telepathic and slightly psychic.
saturn in aquarius in the 1st house - as a natal saturn in aquarius, and with connections to sagittarius and jupiter in my natal chart, this severly blunts the harshness of stern saturn for me. this is what turns me into a teacher and conveyer of my knowledge of the world, of behavior, of hurt, of love, without judging, and turns me into a respectful old soul, who in turn, pays it forward to elders as i feel strongly that i want, need and should show appreciation towards them.
chiron in virgo in the 7th house - as i have no oppositions in my chart, this is my main outlet of projections onto people. this is also how i live with my melancholy and sadness - i wear my chiron in virgo in the 7th house on my sleeve. this is how i hone what my neptunes intuition and my saturns karmic education gift me, processed through my scorpio mercury abilities of intuitive, preferrably deep-digging, analyzing communication and my seemingly overall cosmic fate of being a healer. it seems i am supposed to heal, myself and others, bringing forth what moves about in the deep dark into the light. understanding the fear and intense darkness so deeply through plutonian and saturns influences, but educating the wounded through rationality. 
jupiter in scorpio in the 9th house - jupiter is my natural ruler, and where i self-educate myself into oblivion. my biggest goal in any situation is to reach the truth and to learn it. herein lies one of my only two principles: honesty (loyalty being the other, present mainly in my moon, sporadically in venus, saturn and in plutonian influences). this is my joie de vivre, my exaultation of spirit; the catharsis to my melancholia. this works kind of like my neptune in capricorn placement, but within my intellect.
mercury in scorpio in the 10th house - as it is in the house of capricorn, during certain transits i have a carefully chosen powerful rhetoric, speak very capably, and people become impressed by my pathos. but during others i will speak, still with a carefully chosen rhetoric, but not at all as straight forward, and will most likely make some people impatient or confused. both types of communicaton styles (mercury is rarely one-faced as you know) have certain effects on different people, and one style will come naturally when faced with certain energies in situations, the other in a different type of situation. but i always analyze information, see it from every point of view and angle, most of the time points of view and angles that dont even seem to cross the mind of other people, often dark ones - on my quest to get to the truth. my scorpio surveillance camera-traits activate here, just as they do in my neptune placement, but in a much more investigative and dark mercurial scorpio sense. to the masses i will be seen as an intellectual and sharp person regardless, and people generally admire my mind. this placement also gives me possibility to be strategic, even deceptive, and if i wanted to i could take advantage of this. mostly i like to use it to see gaps and windows in markets, holes in logic and stories etc for the sake of truth. not many lies get past my intuition here. flexibility is after all mercurys second nature, and if i wanted to, i could be a cunning old fox and make manipulative moves to get what i want. there have been times when those self-favorable moves have been made, but i generally dont use it in a plutonian way. (my pluto in scorpio in the 10th house and my scorpio mc also adds to this, and somewhat my capricorn ac - i do not go unnoticed through my career or when it comes to my public image.)
venus in sagittarius in the 10th house - very favorable for me, as this placement opens doors for me solely because of beauty and charm (self-wank!). im always accepted as a postive presence in most situations involving groups of people. or in job interviews. or on dating apps and actual dates. one might call it an indicator of fame, but i wont go that far. this works well with my scorpio traits. this is also a placement that makes me diplomatic and magnetizing, which is already something jupiter in the 9th house, neptune in the 1st house and sun in the 11th house placements value strongly for me. this makes me lean toward older lovers, individuals that are not only partners but also mentors. partners with some sort of mind i admire, that can educate me.
sun in sagittarius in the 11th house - where i take pride in having only two principles! and absolutely no more! my 11th house sun blesses me with an immense lack of judgmental attitude or even interest in being judgy - that kind of mentality is the worst one fathomable to me, i would find it hypocritical and couldnt even begin to relate to how to be an actively judgmental person as i basically do not care for high morals most times. i really, really dont. people might misconstrue this because of my investigative mercury, but i rarely put any value in whats wrong or right most of the time. very much more so why you feel or think one way or the other and if i can help you with insights, seeing gaps, solving a problem - once again, how to get to the truth. i often need to explain this to people who are not susceptible to my carefree and very neutral take, and some (for example: a person with A LOT of oppositions aka a person who would project their own insecurities, and with 6/10 rx in their natal chart...) have even refused to believe it. but this placement is also where i live my life to the fullest and it aids what makes me happiest and lets my natural talents flow: building altruistic, judgement-free, unconditional, sociable, genuine friendships, encounters, experiences with humans in general. just like my scorpio mercury, this drives me to skip small talk and interests me - genuinely - in other people and especially what makes them strange. my sun sign of sagittarius also blesses me with a social, sexual freedom and deep-rooted love for even people who for some reason dislike me - and there honestly arent a lot of them. if i become fascinated i will instantly be your invested friend and value you highly - if you let me in.
