"I HAVE TO BE BETTER THAN THIS" PROMPTS *  assorted dialogue for recognizing you need to change, adjust as necessary

this cannot be all there is for me.

i deserve better than this sort of life.

there's more for me out there. i can feel it.

something has to change.

i'm not meant for a life like this.

do you ever feel like there's more for you out there?

this was never my dream.

there's still time to change.

this was your path. this wasn't mine.

i'm not living my life for you.

i have to keep looking for myself out there.

i deserve more than what i've been given.

someone else made these decisions for me.

this is my life, not yours.

i need to make mistakes in order to find where i belong.

i could get used to a place like this.

this is so different than what i'm used to.

you've opened my eyes to a world i thought i'd never see.

what could be greater than this?

i'm not going to just sit here and watch my life pass me by.

i was born to be great.

i need adventure like i need air.

my mistakes don't define me.

you can't judge me for doing that.

i did what i had to in order to survive.

this was never in the cards for me.

they picked this path for me the day i was born.

i had no say in the kind of person i became.

my potential has always been limited.

these are things i never thought i could do.

what else have they been hiding from me?

there's more out there than they're saying.

i'm not just going to sit idly by and watch.

you have to take charge of your own destiny.

isn't that what you were always saying to me?

you believed in me when no one else did.

i've made a lot of mistakes in my life.

i still have a lot of learning to do.

i need time to grow and change as a person.

let me at least try to be good.

they told me i couldn't, and i believed them.

i need to stop listening to what they have to stay.

it's better to follow your heart.

what does your heart tell you?

this is wrong, and you know it.

we were not meant for this.

i can't just sit here and watch the world fall apart around me.

somebody's gotta do something. might as well be me.

you won't be able to stop me.

i'm going to live my life, even if it kills me.

it's all going to change, because i'm going to change.

no more sitting around waiting for my life to happen.

they were all wrong about me.

Uri looked over him, her gaze decidedly neutral in the face of the young pirate. It wasn't all that uncommon for her to be offered a drink when she found herself in any sort of bar.

But maybe she just had a bit of a weakness for redheads.

Taking a sip of the offered drink, Uri let out a slow sigh before responding. "Wouldn't have brought it up if I wasn't open to it." She shrugged loosely, "I'm a good listener and you look like you'd have some good stories." Uriel cooed.

[ @infamiia / continued from here ]

Shanks settled in nearby, leaving an empty barstool in between them. Not yet willing to push his luck. “Every woman'd put quite the dent in my treasury.” He chuckled and gave a polite nod to the bartender in thanks before turning his attention fully.

He raised his glass to her in response. She didn't seem completely put off, which was a good sign. “A drink to try 'nd woo? Nah.” Shanks shook his head and waved his free hand to dismiss the notion. “The drink's to try and get on your good side. The wooing happens in the conversation I'm hoping you'll give me.”

He took a sip from his own glass and smirked, raising his brows at her. “Assuming you're open to the idea...since you're the one bringin' it up and all.”

the way that a response from @akagamiko to an ask i did almost a year ago has awoken these two from their recurring slumber is KILLING me

shanks is too powerful someone must stop him.

“ too much darkness for a rainbow . ” {lyney at apollo}

𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐃𝐎𝐌 𝐋𝐘𝐑𝐈𝐂𝐒 ,   𝐕𝐎𝐋 .   𝟐

@aeviare

Apollo's eyes were trained up towards the sky, near oblivious to the raindrops littering his face. He looked so focused to the point that one might think he didn't hear Lyney even speak, his eyelids fluttering ever so often as the only sign that he was alive and not merely a statue of sorts.

"I'm sure once the rainclouds clear up, there will be more than enough rainbows to satisfy you." Apollo murmured, his gaze shifting slightly to the side to look at the other. "I believe Fontaine has the most consistent amount of rainbows in the whole of Teyvat. At least within the last few centuries thanks to all this rain you get." He said as he made a nonchalant gesture with his hand.

“   i  feel  so  far  from  you  now .   ” {i swear this will be the only angst one but aether at uri}

@aeviare

Uri stiffened as her movements stopped, having been fidgeting with the hem of her shirt and tugging at a few loose threads. Her mind had ran through all kinds of scenarios for this, but hearing him say that threw everything completely off course to the point where it felt like Uri's brain had a momentary shut down.

"I wasn't aware that time passed so differently in the abyss. I though I had been gone for a handful of days at most." She admitted sheepishly, looking as if she were a child being scolded by a parent, like she were a dog with its tail between its legs.

She spared a glance at him, "I'll do anything in my power to make it up to you, Aether, I swear it." Uri murmured.

Why was he still being dragged around be this man? Surely his bloodlust must be palpable at this point? Really, Apollo couldn't have asked for an easier time, being dragged away from the crowds of unsuspecting bystanders by his fixation.

The haze in Apollo's mind was getting heavier and he pressed the heel of his palm right into the spot between his eyes, squinting lightly when he heard Sampo speak. "'M fine. You should go." Apollo wheezed, "Thank you for the assistance but honestly, you really should not stick around." He chuckled weakly as he looked almost embarrassed.

    Feigned concern gives way to nothing; he doesn’t let on to what he witnessed when the other’s lips parted. Interesting. He feels the stranger’s poor attempt to create distance between them, but it only results in the Fool’s own grip tightening. 

     ❝ You’re not lookin’ so hot there, pal. Are you feeling okay? Here, I’ll take you away from the crowd. Somewhere more secluded. ❞ 

    Without awaiting a response, his hold finally does shift, releasing one arm. The other is held firm as Sampo moves into the shadows, towing his newfound companion along with him, away from the throng of people. He settles for an unlit alleyway, one he’s navigated numerous times in the past, the streets mapped out in his mind for months now. The merc keeps close, almost hip to hip.

     ❝ Any better? ❞

Uri paused and took a moment to look down at herself, maybe the outfit was throwing him off? Aether looked like he hadn't recognized her initially, maybe it had been a lot longer than she thought. Time worked so strangely in the Abyss that it still felt strange to feel the sun on her skin again.

She looked back up and watched him take a step towards her, her eyes alighting again as she rushed ahead to get closer to him. The frown on his face seemed so out of place for the situation that it prompted Uri to slow to a stop a few yards from him.

"I...take it I was gone for a while...?" Uri mumbled sheepishly.

he'd been in the shopping district, looking for something nice to wear for the big magic show that lyney and lynette were doing that night. although he'd never really thought much of his own outfit, it was pointed out to him that there might be an afterparty and the blond decided he wanted to wear something a bit nicer for it. he perused through the suits in the open air markets, quietly humming to himself as he thought over his options.

the sound of his name being called pulled him from his reverie, honey eyes flicking up to try and catch sight of whoever was calling him. he'd gotten quite popular here in fontaine and it wasn't that much of a surprise anymore to hear someone shouting for him from down the road. he was sure it was charlotte or one of the melusines, when he finally caught sight of her. he frowned slightly, trying to find where he knew her from. it'd been so long since he'd seen atria... weeks, months... maybe a year? it felt like forever.

still the silhouette of her was familiar and he paused as familiarity soon began to seep in. a deepening frown and then a stilted step towards her direction.

@kimuromou

A slow blink followed by a soft hum, as if his brain was rebooting like a computer after a crash. Had he? Apollo couldn't quite remember, he had been so focused initially that it felt like he blacked out at some point.

His hands hurt and the paper he had in front of him was covered in various lines of writing, overlapping one another to the point of being nearly illegible.

A subtle pout formed and overtook the previously near expressionless look he had before. "No. I can't even remember what I was even trying to accomplish..." Apollo mumbled as his brows furrowed in momentary confusion.

@kimuromou

The sudden warmth made her eyelids flutter, roused lightly from her doze as she turned her head slowly to look for the source. The first thing she saw was the blanket around her shoulders, then she caught a glimpse of the one responsible.

Uri immediately grabbed for him, tugging him towards her as she clung onto him like he was merely some teddy bear.

"Cho...where have you been..?" She pouted sleepily.

Apollyon was not one to fixate on someone so easily. But he was hungry and his teeth ached, and that incessant voice in his head that didn't quite belong to him was gnawing at his psyche.

There were so many upsides to being an Emanator of Oroboros, but this surely was the largest downside. Granted, it's not that he wanted to literally devour someone, a decent bite or a good taste of blood was more than satisfying.

It was like he was some strange vampire of sorts, but it was rare that Apollo's hunger ever set its sights on a human, though.

"Ah, excuse me." Unfortunate that he had gotten so lost in his own spiraling thoughts that he had ran straight into his current fixation, rather harshly as well. "That...didn't hurt, did it?" Apollo asked quietly.

[exoriiens]

@prismadrakon liked.

He smelled like her, draconic and old and yet he looked as human as could be. Pointed ears twitched as she watched him from the other side of a market stall, her eyes wide and curious as she tried to inspect every inch of him she could get a glimpse of.

Something was very clearly murmuring in the back of her mind, a voice that was not her own, a dialect so inhuman and yet so known to her to the point that she ignored it in favor of approaching the man as he was moving to walk away.

Uri's hand was grabbing onto his wrist before she even realized, pulling the man to a halt as she stared at him again. "Who...are you?" She wondered softly as her head tilted to the side, unruly bangs shifting with the movement to reveal a small nub of a horn protruding from her forehead, the color that of Mara, yellow-golden and almost seeming to reflect the lantern lights around them.

@dupliciti liked.

Uriel wasn't...entirely sure where she was.

After fully coming into her power as an Emanator, she found that sometimes she would have fainting spells that would result in her waking up in an entirely different area than where she had been originally.

But usually!! She'd be able to find her way back, but this time felt just a bit different.

Although....There was tinges of another Emanator nearby and almost on instinct started making her way towards the source. Maybe it was her brother? Uri hadn't seen him in so long, she had begun to worry about him. Instead, a shock of blue hair startled her out of her thoughts as she nearly ran into the source of the trail she had been following.

Aha. The name echoed in her mind in a voice that was not her own and it made the hairs on her arms raise slightly. "Excuse me, may I ask your name?" Uri's voice came out tinged with a rasp as if she had just woken up from a good night's sleep, her hand reaching out to tap his back slightly.

@sozokami

"There aren't a lot of people left that can do what I require." Apollo said as he grabbed a remarkably old roll of parchment from his bag, handing it towards Ahmya.

Both his movements and expression were almost eerily nonchalant. "It's in an ancient language. I can't exactly get in contact with someone like Nico Robin so easily and you were next on my list." He muttered, "It's a list of medicinal herbs and their locations, I wanted to see if any of those species remained." Apollo nodded.
