I; Common roleplaying courtesy. Only I have control of my character and what he says and does. Do please under any circumstance, do not godmod my character, unless of course I give you permission.
II; The number one reason that we all roleplay is for fun, right? Please do not start any unnecessary OOC drama because that will result in an immediate unfollow/block. I’m strongly against this. If I wanted drama, I’d sign up for a reality TV show.
III; Keep in mind that the mun is over 21 years old. Meaning that there will often times be NSFW/triggering stuff and smut on this blog. With that being said, I refuse to roleplay any NSFW topics/smut with any minors. That doesn’t mean I won’t roleplay with you, but you know.
IV; If you are interested in shipping, please don’t hesitate in letting me know and I’ll do the same. If there is no chemistry between the two characters, then I will absolutely not ship it. Please don’t force any of this on me. I also ask that you please keep in mind the fact that Donovan will still be with Elizabeth and helplessly in love with her in his main verse. So if you do want to ship with him, things are more than likely going to be a bit complicated and you're going to have to try to convince him why he shouldn't be with her and etc. His relationship with her plays a SIGNIFICANT role in who he is so I don't really want to ignore all of that. However, things can be changed if plotted on beforehand.
V; There are often times where my replies will be slow. Understand that I do have a life outside of this that I fully intend on living. If I go a few days without replying to you, give me a friendly reminder just incase I probably forgot about it or something. Do not harass me about why I’m taking long because that would only make me want to keep you waiting even longer.
VI; If you ever want to send to turn a meme into a thread, then by all means, please do. It’s something I actually encourage. BUT if you do, please, for the love of God, do not reblog the ask itself, because 9 times out of 10 I’ll just ignore it. Put your reply on its own text post. It doesn’t even take 5 minutes for you to do.
VII; I am a selective blog, meaning that I won’t follow everyone that follows me back and sometimes I won’t roleplay with everyone. It’s nothing personal either, I promise. It’s just me and I’m weird like that.

“Correct me if I’m wrong — which I’m most likely not — but it sounds like you’re asking me for help.” It wasn’t something that happened every day — or at all, for the matter. Hell, knowing Sally, she was probably mentally cursing herself for even giving Donovan that impression. Bearing all that in mind, Donovan knew that he had no choice but to call her out on it. It was one of those instances where a rare opportunity presented itself and only a fool would let it go.

“— But why?” She, or anyone else for that matter, could have proceeded to go on and on about the necessity of selflessness, but he still didn’t quite understand. Granted, there were times where he showed such a characteristic existed within himself, but it was almost never done without him questioning the necessity of it. Alas, his selflessness existed only for one person — for the one person who gave him his new life — but many? it was senseless. “These people wouldn’t even bother to lift a finger for you, so why do you feel like you owe them anything?” It was a question that could be thrown back in his face, but he probably was already aware of that. In fact, he was more so asking himself that same question.

It was a dry chuckle that quickly sounded from Donovan in response to the words that had just been previously uttered to him by the man who was merely a stranger to him. Although the meaning of his words wasn’t very clear, the immortal man did have his suspicions. Suspicions in which only led him to believe that he was being warned. “Why exactly are you trying to say, man? Is that your cryptic way of saying that something is going to happen to me?“

Not that I was paying attention or anything. Who was he trying to kid? Of course, he was paying attention. Whether it was done intentionally or not was hardly even insignificant, however; Donovan was quick to draw his own beliefs on the matter. Quickly coming to his own verdict that the younger male was guilty of prying and simply sticking his nose in places where it shouldn’t be. “But nothing.” He said — rather, he shouted just slightly, quickly turning around to face the young blonde standing directly behind him. “You know, you really should mind your business.”

Setting his palms flat against the wooden surface on the bar of The Blue Parrot, a long and dramatic sigh of frustration was the only thing that withdrew from the dark-haired man clad in a black leather jacket. If Donovan knew Sally, ( and he did ) he would safely assume that this was a textbook case of her antics. The resident junkie was always looking for different ways to get on the skin of the immortal man — to her, it was like an ageless source of entertainment, something with a stubborn refusal to ever get old. Although he didn’t want to admit it, he had to take responsibility and accept the fact that he was mostly part of the blame for her consistency. Whether he wanted to or not, he always gave her a reaction, much like the one he was giving right now. He wasn’t exactly too skilled in masking the fact that he was definitely annoyed. After sitting in complete silence for a few moments, he chose to finally address her after a quick eye roll and whilst managing to keep his sight on Liz. “Go away, Sally. Don’t you have something better to do?“

In an instant, he puts an abrupt pause on what he was doing, moving to sit up just slightly so that he could silently stare at her through a pair of narrowed baby blue eyes that were hooded under a pair of furrowed eyebrows; all an effect in which her words had caused. Words that required minimal effort to cause a significant amount of damage. They haunted Donovan; taunted him and set free insecurities in which he had kept buried deep within himself. “Have I not been doing it properly, baby?” He asks; genuine concern and worries clearly noticeable in his voice and his expression. “Is there something you want me to do differently?“

“Strategy, babe. I can’t afford to be reckless, you taught me better than that.“

And without even giving it so much as a second thought, his own lips word being pressed against her soft pair; returning the kiss that he was being given. Although brief, the moment of embrace was certainly not lacking in passion as he brought his hand up to let his thumb softly caress the dead young woman’s cheek.

“It’s been a while, huh, Sally?” The young junkie chuckled, albeit briefly, before returning his attention back onto the face of his blonde companion. “It’s either that or it sounds like you haven’t been hanging around the right people.” Was he trying to imply that he was one of those people? Absolutely.

“And I can’t help but wonder why everyone always has to assume that there is one.“
