dear followers today i offer you another iron maiden joe prequel snippet. tomorrow? who knows.

warning for mentions of alcohol and smoking {brief}

It's past midnight, which means Nicky has the pool to himself: no sane person would go for a swim at half past two in the morning, especially not on a Sunday - Monday, now, he supposes. To be fair, he's not swimming, just sitting on the pool's edge with his jeans rolled up, feet in the water. It's quiet, apart from the gentle lapping of the water against the sides and the occasional sounds of activity from the motel behind them - not the nicest, but the best they could find on short notice. The pool is lit from within, glowing blue against the darkness. They couldn't risk going to any of their usual places, not when they don't know exactly what Booker told Merrick. 

Nicky sighs. Lifts the cigarette in his hand to his lips and takes a long drag, closes his eyes as he exhales. He's exhausted, but he can't go to sleep yet. He's got a clear line of sight to their room's door here, can hear anything that could signal something's wrong. He'll stay up all night if he has to, because if he dreams he'll dream of the lab, or of Yusuf, and neither of those are things he wants right now. 

(Well. That's not entirely true. Because as much as he hates the dreams, as shaken as they leave him every time, he does look forward to them in some twisted way. They're the only way he gets to see Yusuf anymore, after all.) 

concept: tog 2 theme is around family and stuff maybe. deals with nile pre-grieving her family and how she copes knowing she'll outlive them. i know this was partially dealt with in the first movie but i want more and also the theme of that was more 'what do you do with immortality' imo and i want the second one to be 'how do you cope with immortality/how do you hold onto yourself when you're going to live that long and change in ways you probably can't imagine yet'. anyway all this is to say that there's a my mother's axe style exchange between andy and nile in which we see andy's first death. uma thurman is andy's mother

this is all just a long winded way of saying I Want Baby Andy

consider. seeing this bit with charlize theron and kiki layne. similar to the "you come from warriors" scene

if you ever see me tag a post with a character and you're like hm. i don't know if that really applies here. well you do not have access to my complex interior world and the additional context i have devised
