aether has summoned the great vigilant yaksha— only to gently set a carefully crafted flower crown atop his head once xiao appears, complete with a bright smile from the traveller along the way.

True to his word, the wind currents cycling through Liyue carried the sound of his summons to the elusive Yaksha. Aether would not have long to wait, for in the blink of an eye, the Conqueror of Demons emerged.

The adeptus had leapt off the tree tops to land in front of him, unknowingly placing himself in the perfect position for his 'ambush'.

Aether is graced with the sight of surprise writ across Xiao's features. Amber eyes blinked in confusion as he reaches up to touch the soft crown of flower petals that now adorned his hair.

"Traveler. What...is the meaning of this?"

By nature, a Gatekeeper is not required to personally enter the Underworld with their guest. The extent of their responsibilities end as soon as they step through the open gates.

However, in the case of Achlys who held dual roles, his circumstances are naturally more unique. Not only is he obliged to lead the souls of the departed to the gates, he is often required to shadow them and present an up to date record of their karmic sins for their sentencing.

Hence, to no one's surprise, he found himself making his way through dimly lit hallways after his latest assignment. A little bouquet of fresh flowers in hand, he proceeds to knock sharply to announce his arrival.

"Good evening, my Liege. May I take up a moment of your time? I have been going through the documentation on my desk and I believe I have found several discrepancies that we ought to correct."

Hopefully the flowers will put his overworked superior in a better mood.

Eous knew Grace. Wise and Belle view the crew of Belobog Heavy Industries as friends. In fact, the bangboo has seen them on more than one occasion just hanging out with each other. So it's not like they don't trust Grace to perform a check up.

It's just that they aren't willing to run the risk of her discovering the extent of their inner workings. Carole Arna's work deserves protecting. They take a second to weigh their decision: surely a hug isn't bad, is it?

【Ehn-neh】

The bangboo obliges and raised both their arms, waiting for an embrace.

@the-lytenye-realms

Well it didn't take a genius to know that meant no...

"I see..." The little one didn't feel the need for one, well that is too bad. She'd have loved to run some tests to make sure they were in tip-top shape. But alas...

"Is that also a no to the hug then, little one?" Her true intentions shone through very well, the usual samey intentions of giving the little one all the affection they deserved in her eyes. Perhaps a bit too much affection if you ask most people. Had their owner been here they'd just check with them instead of course but...might as well get permission from the little one.

"My, what a warm reception. Not in the mood for exchanging pleasantries, are we? That's understandable."

Fathomless eyes observed the elegance of the demigod's thread with idle curiousity. She does not appear inclined to break free from Aglaea's grasp or remove the thread that now encircled her wrist in a loop.

"After all, constantly guarding against attacks from the shadows and watching over the populace can exhaust anyone. Even the Lady Seamstress herself."

Kafka's grip is gentle yet firm when she tugs lightly upon the thread connecting them. Testing. Pulling.

"Then I suppose you can weigh the truth behind my words when I say that neither you nor your beloved Amphoreus have anything to worry about where I'm concerned?"

Lush greenery. Honey wine pervades the air with a faintly sweet aroma. Fruit ripe and heavy with juice. Clear waters rippling, lively conversations everywhere along the streets. 

【Paradise】

A wistful sigh. Words curling in apparent satisfaction ring clearly. They reach only the ears of those they wished. 

【What a beautiful world you have in your grasp】

Elongated fingers brush against ivory white structures and golden trim. Leaves faint winding traces of ivy and moss in the wake of their touch. The Thousand-Handed Merciful Medicus took in the sights before them with their many eyes; An unseen visitor. 

【Seems a pity for a thing of wonder to one day lose its’ luster. Don’t you agree? 】

??? The bangboo stood before him, mostly still apart from the slight sway of the 'bunny' ears in the wind. It's visual ports tracked Volo's movements carefully all the way down and 'blinked' back as though in mimicry of his actions.

Eous flops one of it's hands onto the merchant's when he held it out to him. Despite it's small stature, there is immense strength in the little guy that presents itself immediately when Eous began shaking Volo's hand vigorously.

【Ehn nEH-nuH ne NEHm】

"No," Xiao shook his head. "Not a yaksha perk." There is sincerity shining plainly in his eyes when he confessed quietly. "Just experience."

It's soft, almost subdued, but said 'beloved adepti' releases an amused huff. He recognises the teasing for what it is. Injuries in the line of duty is nothing new for Xiao. He is quite accustomed to returning to his abode with a fresh litany of wounds- they would soon heal anyways. So that's never bothered the adeptus.

Yet it had bothered her. It had bothered Yelan, Yanfei, and the others who ventured down into the Chasm some time ago. So perhaps he could stand to take better care of his own condition, if not for himself then on account for them instead.

"Very well." Xiao plays along, lifting his chin skyward. "I shall permit you the honour of escorting me back to Wangshu Inn. See to it that you keep your double promise."

After a moment of hesitation, he gingerly rests his palms on the back of her shoulders.

"Will it not be taxing to carry me like so?"

Ten minutes after her arrival, a muffled commotion can be heard emitting from the back of Random Play. More accurately: outside the metal exit door leading to their parking space. Seconds later, said door is flung open with a light kick and the proxy appears.

Two heavy boxes obscured his vision as he carried them in, grunting softly with exertion when he finally set them down on the counter with a loud thump. It's only when Wise finally straightened with a tired exhale that he realises he's not alone.

"-!!!! Oh, it's you, Anby." His startled expression soon fades into a wry smile. "Sorry about that, I wasn't expecting anyone here at this hour. What's up?"

@truthinstars

@grislyintentions liked x for a starter from Anby for Wise.

Anby walked into the video store and looked around awkwardly for Wise. When she didn't see them, she decided to browse some of the videotapes. She picked up several and read the synopses on the back of them before putting them back onto the shelf.

She was searching for a new movie to watch and had come to the video store to ask one of the proxy if they could recommend something. She had a couple of ideas of what she was looking for based on reviews, but his opinion mattered to her.

"That's what mirrors are for!"

He can feel it. The headache (TM) of rage and exasperation is approaching. His dreaded pain in the ass. The bane of his career even. Obviously his job as the Gatekeeper is no walk in the park and Achlys has encountered his fair share of difficult individuals. But this guy? Ooh this guy. Specifically grinds his gears in some way he can't explain.

"Dude. Think about it for a second: How many times did you show up here in just this one week alone?"

All things considered, Sin Eaters are among some of the best at detecting the level of corruption a living soul carries through scent alone. As a result, these creatures cost a lot to loan much less own completely.

So in his humble opinion, Achlys thinks his bafflement over the current situation is a little justified. The Gate-Keeper stood before the spectacle (A giant suckerfish very firmly attached to the top of an unfortunate person) and crosses his arms in thought.

"Really? Isn't he a little too fresh to be approaching death or carry that much dirty karma?"

Even if he was still rather shy when it came to expressing his affection, Cedric wanted to ensure more than anything that Wise would never forget just how truly adored he was. The singer's touch was gentle as he reached forth to smooth back stray strands of the Proxy's hair for him, fingers soon trailing downward to gingerly caress the other's cheek.

" ... You ... Really are stunning ... " Cedric murmured as he leaned in closer, pressing a kiss against his temple. " Every moment we're together I can't take my eyes off of you ... "

Although they have both established that they've been dating for a while, it still never fails to take his breath away whenever the realisation hits him. Seriously he lucked out majorly! Wise doesn't know how exactly he managed to get someone as devastatingly beautiful, talented, intelligent and sweet to agree to be his boyfriend but he for sure isn't going to let the opportunity pass him by.

"Me? I should be saying that to you. Have you seen yourself?" The proxy gently cups the back of Cedric's head and angles his own so that he could lightly meld their lips together in a soft chaste kiss full of adoration.

"You're perfect." Wise responds as sincerely as he could. "Not...not just in your looks. But also in your values, in the way you haven't stopped showing that you care even when things are tough. Thank you for trusting me with yourself. I know it's not easy."

so I wake up in the morning and I step outside and I take a deep breath and get real high and I scream from the top of my lunges "what's going on"?

The spirit lingers by the threshold as she waits for her request for an audience to be approved. Although they are not dissimilar in species, the youkai servant who had led her in still seemed rather uneasy with her presence and thus it would not be a good move on her part to move about without instruction.

Darkness clung to Mirai like a second skin, enveloping the areas she resides in deep satin shades. Light from candle flames flicker and die out the moment she steps inside.

"Greetings, General Takahiro." Her form flickers. Once. Twice. "I have come bearing a request."

An Unexpected but not unwelcome idea.

With the amount of heavy lifting she routinely performs, there is an undeniable strength and control in her hips that she has to her advantage.

The Wildfire doctor is gentle but firm -as with most things- slow and careful to start before she picks up the confidence to go faster/stronger.

She makes him hold his breath as long as he could with each brush to his prostate without passing out.

Yanfei was oddly torn about how to show appreciation for the mess that had transpired. On one hand, Zhongli had been extremely helpful in getting her out of that situation, but on the other? She’s now having to explain that she is not a Longma. If it’s not one issue then it’s another.

“Mr. Zhongli ! Do you have a moment for dessert?” She stood before him with a questionable looking mini cake in hand. Clearly homemade but perhaps lacking in experience (or a recipe).

The cake presented before him draws forth a memory of a distant past in which another one of his peers decided to exercise her culinary skills. To this day, the prospect of eating slimy textured seafood erodes his constitution.

"That is most generous of you," Zhongli offers a wry smile. "But I am afraid I'd have to decline as I have just concluded with lunch a moment ago. Perhaps we can reconvene at a later date?"
