#; yeah i like marshmallows | ooc

[cashmoneyyysstuff]

dk why but im thinkin about shoto w a sweet tooth who follows you and hangs around the kitchen waiting for the cookies you made to finish baking while staring at the oven like a kid, soooooo.. (shoto might be a bit ooc, slight super small pinch of angst but super fluffy as usual ! gn reader, mentions of food, lemme know if i missed sum else ! <3)

"sho.." shoto hums in response, eyes fixed on the oven.

"the cookies aren't gonna bake faster if you stare at 'em."

you hold back a giggle when he slowly turns to look up at you from where he's crouched down on the floor. his eyes that were practically pasted to the oven widening the slightest bit like he'd been caught doing something bad. he blinks at you, then swiftly looks away.

"i'm just checking to make sure they don't burn." he explains. you don't know if you've seen him blink more than four times the entire time you've been staring at him staring at the chocolate chip marshmallow cookies you made together. (together meaning with him watching you most of the time and occasionally mixing. as much as you love your boyfriend, he should absolutely not be trusted around food.)

"that's what we have the timer for." you quip, leaning against the kitchen cupboard and crossing your arm with a smirk.

he looks up at you, then fixes the kitchen timer sitting on the stove with a little frown that you recognize as a pout, you huff out a light laugh at his cute expression. from his miniscule facial expressions you can see he's a little embarrassed at the fact you'd outsmarted him. he turns to look at the cookies again.

"i can see when they're done baking better from here. faster than the timer can."

"oh yeah ?"

he nods "very clearly."

you snort. after looking at him for a while longer you sigh to get his attention. it works immediately and he looks up at you, eyes occasionaly trailing back to the oven towards the cookies as he waits to hear what you want.

you wordlessly spread your arms out, batting your eyelashes at him. he blinks, then a small smile grows on his handsome face in realization. he slowly walks over to you before pulling you into a comfortable hug, he huffs out a chuckle when you squeeze his waist.

shoto buries his head into your shoulder, right into the crook of your neck, and breathes you in. he’s had a habit of doing that often—if not every time you hug—and you don’t really know why he does, but you definitely don’t mind.

"you could've just told me that you wanted to try the cookies first." you tease, giggling when he huffs against your shoulder. he turns his head to speak against your neck.

"that wasn't my intention." he mumbles weakly, nosing at your neck when you scoff out a laugh.

"right. that's why you were practically glued to the oven mere seconds ago."

"i did no such thing."

"don't lie !" you reprimand, tugging at his hair lightly in joking punishment "you're not getting any cookies if you do." you hear him huff and feel a slight smirk growing against you.

"i..may have been surveying them rather closely—"

"very closely."

"—but it was simply to check." he finishes, ignoring your comment. shoto noses at your shoulder and sighs "i felt like even though you wanted to make the cookies together, i was barely able to help you with anything.." he trails off. your eyebrows furrow, and you try pull shoto out of the nest he's made for himself inside your shoulder, but shoto could be extremely stubborn when he wanted to be. his arms tighten around your waist and he his hair tickles against your cheek when he tries to shove his head inside your shoulder somehow.

you sigh, giving up your attempts to get him to look at you and simply settle on running your fingers through his hair, soothing him as he sighs contently. "sho, you helped me out lots. you always took over for me when i didn't feel like mixing anymore and helped me out with those big strong arms of yours." you feel him smile against you and your smile grows mirroring his.

" but i really wanted to help you out more, i know i'm not really good at this.." he mutters sadly, a frown grows on his face and you feel the corners of your mouth turn down as well.

"but you're real good at a lot of other things ! i'm not great at everything either." you reason, absentmindeldly twirling a strand of his hair around your finger "but i could teach you some tips and tricks, if you want."

he looks up at you at that, the smile growing on his face makes your heart race. "really ? i might be a little hard to manage." he jests, running his hands up and down your sides. his eyes brighten the more he looks at you and you're 100% sure you mirror his expression when you throw him a smug smirk.

"don't you underestimate me, mr todoroki ! you're nothing compared to what i've dealt with before."

"oh ?" he hums, lifting a brow. you nod and his smiles grows " and what, if i may ask, have you dealt with before ?" he challenges.

"that is classified information that i cannot disclose. you're just gonna have to trust me." you shoot back and press your finger to his lips, snickering when his eyes widen a fraction before he looks down at you playfully. he takes hold of your hand and presses a kiss to each of your fingertips, making fireworks go off inside your stomach.

"well then," he presses a final lingering kiss to the back of your hand with a run of his thumb against your skin. his eyes glow with mischief when he looks at you.

"i'm in your care."

⊱.𖥔 ݁ ˖ ━━━━PROMPT BY : cherubmm

𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫’𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐞: SO SORRY IF THIS ONE GOT DELAYED!!! This is supposed to be in 16 but I had a class :((. I did this around 10 pm and woke up around 4 am.... So, yeah kinda rush. Also! Also! I base the character's personality by the fanarts. I tried to check the wiki but it barely had anything 🧍‍♂️

The Underground was a sugary hell

Everywhere you looked, the world was coated in candy. The walls were thick with hardened sugar, glowing in pastel hues under the Underground's light. Gingerbread houses lined the streets, their icing-covered rooftops glistening like they were freshly baked. The ground was a fluffy mass of cotton candy that stuck to your shoes with every step.

And the monsters? Oh, don't even get started on the monsters.

They came in all sorts of flavors—literally. Strawberry, chocolate, mint, caramel, etc. Monsters with marshmallow limbs, jellybean eyes, and licorice hair. Everywhere you turned, it was like stepping into some twisted, candy-coated wonderland. The kind that might have been appealing to someone with a sweet tooth but to you...

Ugh, you hated it here.

If you could gain LV for every second you despised this saccharine, insufferable place, you would’ve dusted the entire Underground by now.

You glared at the monsters passing by, sending silent daggers with your eyes, imagining each one exploding into a puff of sugar dust. The grip on the cup you're holding hostage between your clutch tightened, to the point where you could feel tiny cracks forming under your fingers. Everything here is so fucking sweet. It’s unbearable.

'Ugh, why are you even here?' a sudden sense of self-pity and repulsion creep at the back of your mind, making your face hardened than they were before. You were so different, the only bitter soul— An anomaly amongst your race and it's not only in personality. You were bitter, through in and out, and that's not just in flavor, but in your very essence as well. A black sheep among the saccharine masses.

Your thoughts were interrupted when something—(or rather, someone)—was suddenly flung into your side, nearly knocking you out of your seat. You snapped out of your internal trance, temper— immediately boiling over as you turned to see who had the audacity to invade your space. You were seconds away from yelling bloody murder.

Until a pair of limbs wrapped around your waist, pulling you into an uncomfortable, bone-crushing hug.

"Hwuahh!! There you are! I’ve been looking all over for you, my bitter little fudge!!"

You knew that voice—your jaw clenched. You didn’t even want to bat an eye to know who it was—Sans, the pathetic excuse of a skeleton, the one who clung to you like a sugar-high toddler to candy. His skull was buried against your chest, nuzzling you in the most irritating, suffocating way possible.

Your teeth ground together as you glared down at the offender. None other than him. Sans. That sickeningly sweet excuse of a skeleton who clung to you like molasses. His skull was buried against your chest, smothering his face against your exposed skin. The sound of him sniffing—sniffing—you, made your stomach turn in disgust.

"What the hell— get off me"

Sans, however, only hugged you tighter, smothering his face against your exposed skin. "But I missed you, my darling tart! I wanna be close to you!"

The nickname sent a fresh wave of nuisance through you "You're disgusting me, sans. I said LET. GO"

Sans’s grip only tightened. "Please, let me hold you more! You smell so good!" His voice was sweet and syrupy, like honey drizzled over sugar cubes, and it made you gag internally.

“SAAAANS—!!!”

Before you could pry him off, he grabbed your hand, pulling it toward his open mouth. His mint-and-pink tongue darted out, licking at your fingers with unsettling enthusiasm. You recoiled, but his grip was strong, and before you knew it, he had your fingers in his mouth, sucking on them— painfully slow and deliberate, as if you were some sort of rare delicacy.

“Huaaaw," he moaned. "So bitter... yet so soft. I want—more!” His pinpricks began to shrink and expand erectedly as he savored the taste of your flavor. his Sharp phalanges creeping around your waist as if contemplating ripping your skin apart just to get more of that bitter taste.

"Let go, Sans," you growled through clenched teeth, eyes narrowing dangerously.

His grip on your waist tightened as he looked up at you, that sickening heart-shaped glow still dancing in his eyes. "But you’re just so… perfect. I could just… take a little bite, couldn't I?"

Your heart began to pound in your chest, not from fear, but from pure rage and disgust. He was licking you. In public. What was worse, the other monsters around didn’t even seem to care.

You clenched your fists, trembling with fury, but a part of you knew this was exactly what he wanted—attention, no matter how twisted his way of getting it was. You tried to push him off, but he was stronger than his lazy demeanor let on. His bony hand began to scratch at your skin with more insistence, as though he was tempted to rip off a piece of you and devour it whole. "Mmm, so good... so perfect," he murmured.

That’s it.

You snapped, finally managing to yank your hand free from his death-grip like grasp. You grabbed him by the top of his skull, your fingers sinking into the mess of melting ice cream that clung to his head. "Get the hell off me, you freak."

He whined, but his smile didn’t falter. "Aww, come on! Just a little more? Please? You taste so good, sugarbitter."

"I am not sugar," you snarled, scraping your hand down the side of his skull as hard as you could. He flinched, but his grip on you didn’t loosen. His grin widened, as if your anger only made him want you more.

Sans stared up at you with hearts in his eyes—literally. His pinpricks had turned into heart shapes, pulsing as he gazed at you with that uncomfortably sweet expression. "You're so mean~" he purred, "but I love it. I could just... eat you up." His voice dropped, and his grin took a darker edge.

"Not. Happening." You shoved him off, finally breaking free from his hold. You stood, brushing off the sticky residue that clung to your clothes. “You’re lucky I haven’t turned you into a pile of dust.”

Sans only chuckled, licking his lips. “You say that, but I know you enjoy my company. You’re like my little cakebite... bitter on the outside, but sweet once you get a taste.”

You seethed, your hand itching to slap him across the face. You knew one thing for certain—if he kept this up, he’d be lucky if you didn’t break a few bones next time.

AGSZC Taking Care of Their Feral Chocobo (often against his will)

Just some OOC crack excerpts from Cloud being feral and his boyfriends suffering.

from many a conversation with @strayheartless

-----------------------------------------------------------

Unjust Punishments

Cloud: *has dorm toilet duty for "fighting with" bullies* Eh, this isn't the worst thing someone in charge has done for something that's not my fault.

*Everyone's gaze sharpening dramatically*

Sephiroth: What WAS the worst thing?

Cloud, casually: Oh probably that time I saved the mayor's daughter and was almost thrown in jail with my broken ribs...or maybe the time Johnson...never mind, I got him back so it's fine!

*One-Winged Angel starts playing from four directions at once*

Cloud: The mayor thing was only that bad because I was 8 and freaking out too much, no big deal because Ma stopped them from actually throwing me in jail.

*Estuans interius...*

Cloud: And Johnson's nuts are crushed now, so yeah, all good.

*Ira vehementi...*

A little while later...

Cloud: Hey Zack?

Zack: Yeah, buddy?

Cloud: You know I love cuddling you...

Zack: YES, ME TOO! *squeezes tighter*

Cloud: ...but I get the feeling I'm stuck, and I'd like to know for how long.

*Zoom out to see Zack and Cloud have been tightly wrapped in a burrito together, squirreled away in Genesis' giant bed-nest, and their whole burrito bundle is swaddled so thoroughly that escape seems untenable. Outside, sounds of growling, pacing, and theme music can be heard*

Zack: IDK, last time they got me after I almost got trampled by a behemoth, they had me in here for a day or two. I say just enjoy it. I definitely am! *Pecks on cheek* You're the cutest!

-------------------------------------------------------------

Medication

Cloud doesn't take pills. Get that thing away from him. He will tough it out. Pills are for the weak! ZACK, GET OFF!

Zack's clamping Cloud's jaws shut while Angeal strokes his throat like a stubborn dog's to get him to swallow, "there, there, just swallow, that's it, be a good rabid chocobo, good"

Two minutes later, with lots of "bleaugh blech blaugh blep blech": *pill clatters to the floor*

Dissolving it in milk doesn't work because he can sMeLl It.

Genesis: "That's it, next time it's going to be liquid!"

Next time...

Genesis: *covered in disgusting cough syrup and germs* "NEXT TIME IT'S GOING TO BE A SHOT."

Next time...

The shot goes awry and gets injected wrong and now Cloud looks like the most sad and pathetic creature to ever walk the earth because (a) they BETRAYED HIM and (b) the shot got injected into something that HURTS and it was a NEEDLE and they BETRAYED HIM. Little tears glisten on his feverish cheeks and the tiniest of whimpers comes out and he holds his injured arm extra gingerly, and now everyone feels awful. 🥺

Genesis: "...fine, next time it'll be pills."

------------------------------------------------------------------

Weaponized Cuteness

Cloud: *doesn't want to do something* *stands next to Angeal and rubs his head*

Angeal: Awww my precious chocobaby, does your head hurt?

Cloud: *looks away, pouting*

Angeal: Sweetheart, we have to take care of ourselves. Here, sit down in the shade and have some juice.

Zack: *offended puppy noises* GEAL MY HEAD HURTS TOOOOO

Angeal: It does not, keep squatting

Cloud: *smirking behind his juice box*

-

Zack: Kunsel, you gotta help us, he's playing them! You see that, right?!

Kunsel: Yep.

Zack: Great, then we need you to tell the-

Kunsel: Nope.

Zack: What do you mean "nope"?! YOU ACKNOWLEDGE WHAT HE'S DOING?!!!!

Kunsel: Yep, and it is hilarious 🍿🍿🍿

-

It backfires when Cloud is actually unwell and doesn't want help.

Cloud: *coughs up blood very quietly* Bye guys, I'm off to kill a zo- er, off on a patrol!

Angeal: *appears from the ether* No, you are not.

Cloud: But 🥺 I gotta, for work!

Angeal: I smell blood.

Later...

Zack: Heh.

Cloud: Shut the fuck up.

Zack: Nah, you look like a marshmallow and I will take as many blackmail pics as I please, my angry little muffin!

Cloud: *growling and coughing up blood from his straightjacket cocoon*

-

Genesis being manipulated into giving Cloud's lactose intolerant ass more cheese:

---------------------------------------------------------------

They burrito him for the flu one time and come home to find that he CHEWED THROUGH the cocoon and is out racing Roche with a raging fever.

---------------------------------------------------------------

It's cold, and Angeal is frantically wrapping Cloud up in many layers because he's "small" (compared to the giraffes the rest of them are) and unenhanced...and now Cloud is passing out from heatstroke before because his Nibelheim genes are strong.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Cloud: *sways*

Angeal, from two floors away: ...I smell naughty bird. GENESIS!

Genesis: Angeal?

Angeal: Did you eat today?

Genesis: Yes.

Angeal: 🤨

Genesis: SIGH I had a breakfast sandwich and a chicken dish for lunch from the cafeteria.

Angeal: Good. My bird senses were tingling, so I... *Looks at Genesis* 😱

Genesis: 😱 CLOUD

They both make it downstairs just in time to catch him. He hadn't eaten in a day and a half.

Excuse the change in format,still trying to figure something out. ���

There is no pair in this,I think! ➷

Purely for comedy,may have ooc lines but it’s just for comedy yk ➷

——————————————————————————

Everyone had made plans for the summer,except Hinata. He only planned to practice and race Kageyama every time they crossed paths

Luckily,Sugawara planned a camping trip for the team. It was gonna be a peaceful trip but somehow Kuroo knew about it and raided the campsite out of nowhere,so now they have to deal with it’!

“Stop hogging all the marshmallows!”Hinata snatched the bag of marshmallows from Kageyama who didn’t even get to put in between his crackers. This was his 3rd s’more.

“You little-“ Before Kageyama could shout,he was chopped on the head by none other than Daichi “Stop acting like toddlers! Just share the bag.”

Tsukishima was snickering and Yamaguchi was too,Kageyama ended up throwing his s’more at Tsukishima which started a war.

“Get the camera! This is gonna be good!” Tanaka laughed and cackled in the back watching the fight happen,Lev was cackling but quickly shut up due to Yaku giving him the death stare meanwhile Ennoshita watched from the shadows,he wanted no part of this.

Sugawara just facepalmed,not only was the trip infiltrated but now there was huge fight,He shook his head in disbelief

A couple minutes everything was resolved but now the teens find out that they have no service out here.

“How am I supposed to play my games…”Kenma frowned and stared at his switch sadly,Kuroo patted his head “You’ll finally get off that thing!”Kenma groaned. “You suck.” Inouka chuckled “Some exercise would do you good!” Kenma glared at Inouka with malice which backed the brunnette off

Daichi was one problem away from screaming.”Everyone calm down,I have a map back to the city.” Nobody calmed down,it was more like everything became more chaotic. “We should split up and then come back!” Noya suggested,Daichi’s jaw almost dropped,There is no chance he is letting anyone out of his sight-

“That’s not a very bright idea!” Sugawara sighed “Let’s make grounds so it’ll be easier!” Noya was dead set on his plan. Eventually Sugawara agreed without Daichi “This is going to fail.” Tsukishima mumbled

(Some I haven’t written yet but they are present!)

Group 1 • Daichi • Noya • Kuroo • Tanaka (Chaos.)

Group 2 • Yaku • Sugawara • Hinata • Lev (Kinda balanced)

Group 3 • Asahi • Yamaguchi • Kageyama • Tsukishima (Arguing every 2 secs-)

Group 4 • Kenma • Inouka • Ennoshita • (Random!)

Since Daichi had the map,the rest followed,Noya and Tanaka wandered off every so often which was a huge pain in Daichi’s ass. “Get back here!” Daichi shouted after the two,Kuroo enjoyed every second of Daichi’s pain “Having trouble dealing with your own teammates?” Kuroo snickered “Shut up rooster face!” Daichi sighed and face palmed,This was going to be hell.

Sugawara and Yaku had to look behind them every minute to make sure the hyper duo didn’t run off somewhere “I’m so hungry….My stomach hurts…I wanna go back!” Hinata complained “Yeah,My legs hurt,I feel like i’m gonna fall!” Lev also complained. “Shut it you man child! Use those legs!” Yaku kicked Lev in the leg which made him fall”Oh!” Sugawara held back a laugh before handing Hinata a marshmallow “Finally some fooood! “ Hinata ate it quickly,Yaku couldn’t wait to go home.

Asahi didn’t say much throughout the walk however Kageyama and Tsukishima bickered the whole way through “Is the king upset over a marshmallow?” Tsukishima smirked “More like your cocky attitude.” Kageyama frowned deeply,Yamaguchi just watched,He did not want any fight to break out but he did hope they would find the city soon

The group barely talked except for inouka who offered to race both the tired teens “Come on you guys! Running is good for the soul!” Inouka pestered Ennoshita who was half asleep,he already fell 5 times- “Kenma what about you? You barely catch up to the team at practice,you need the strength y’know!” Inouka kept pestering the two and Kenma was about to trip Inouka but suddenly they saw the street lights,they found the city finally.

After everyone arrived at the nearby park,Ennoshita already fainted and had to be taken home,Daichi took the honors in that (wouldn’t blame him-)

“Alright,next time…You guys aren’t coming!” Sugawara sighed and pointed at Nekoma”Come on! We wanna have fun too!” Kuroo wore his cheshire smile on his face,it was annoying sometimes..

Casually Inouka,Hinata and Kageyama were racing around the park,somehow all of them were at the same speed “What a bunch of speedy freaks.” Tsukishima spoke “Tsuki! Could you refrain from being rude for like a minute?” Yamaguchi shook his head,a nice Tsukishima seemed impossible sometimes even though it wasn’t.

Asahi was being bombarded by Noya and Tanaka’s foolish antics “Come on man,what type of girl do you like?!” Noya chuckled deviously and Tanaka did the same,Asahi just trembled. Someone save this poor Brunnette

Everyone eventually said their goodbyes and went home,in the morning,Hinata was already racing Kageyama.

Sugawara,Daichi,Asahi and the forgotten trip were hanging out

Noya and Tanaka were fooling around with Saeko

Tsukishima and Tadashi were hanging out as well

Summer was a bit eventful this time.

[gwyns]

I feel like some E/riel’s change everything about Elain so she fits their headcanons and theories, because in canon, some of it doesn’t add up. If Elain was trying to be a spy wouldn’t we have gotten some of that in Az’s chapter (and Az himself said he was avoiding her so no training going on), and Elain wants to be seen and no one ever sees her, how is her being a spy a good idea? And Elain being shy/quiet makes no sense to me since we’ve seen how much she thrives at balls and social settings. She’s a social butterfly. Loves to talk to and dance with people, just look at her in ACOTAR AND ACOMAF. When we get Elain’s book, and if we see her act how she use to (when she was still human and being extroverted) I feel like E/riel’s are gonna say Sarah retconned Elain, or she’s written out of character, or switch to “Elain is the life of the party! She’s an ambivert!”. They’re gonna be upset that their headcanons and theories don’t align with canon.

agreed so much. they call themselves elain experts but their version of elain is so removed from canon it's astounding. elain, like nesta, was raised to be a perfect lady. the difference between them is that elain enjoys that life, she enjoys the parties and socializing and the society. nesta doesn't. so calling elain an introvert never made sense to me... i do think she could have some more introvert traits but as a whole? that girl loves being a hostess. and would you look at that? lucien, HER MATE, also thrives in those situations!

i feel like elain's book will have a similar effect to nesta's. while i don't think a lot of nesta's fans projected on her like elain's do, i do think many of them just didn't (and still don't) understand her character. they say acosf was ooc and yada yada but... as someone who is very much like nesta irl (just not quite as prickly), her arc made perfect sense to me. that girl is a marshmallow underneath it all and her being this rude and mean person was just a coping mechanism

so yeah, i can definitely see something like that happening to elain when her fans don't like that their head canons are just that: all in their heads

(OOC WARNING: THE TRANSCRIPT CONTAINS DESCRIPTIONS OF BLOOD, VIOLENCE, DROWNING, AND HEAVY GORE. PLEASE READ BELOW THE CUT AT YOUR OWN RISK.]

[Video transcript start.]

[The transcript begins with someone holding the phone, they are seemingly in the backseat of a vehicle as it drives down a road. The song “Barbie girl” can be heard over the car radio, seemingly everyone is enjoying it.]

?: I didn't even know that song was still played on the radio.

[Voice identified: Ness Kylie Hoffson.]

?: Never gets old, though!

[Voice Identified: William Keane.]

Ne: Fair enough, though I really should ask one more time… Where the fuck are we driving to?

?: Abandoned fuckin’... aquarium or something? Right Cass?

[Voice identified: Becky.]

[The man mentioned, Cassius, is singing along to the song with a few others, he gives Becky a thumbs up, his other hand is out of the car. There are no hands on the steering wheel.]

W: DRIVE.

Ne: THERE IS STILL SOMEONE IN THIS CAR THAT WILL ACTUALLY DIE DIE FROM THAT!

[Cassius places one hand back on the steering wheel, but that doesn’t seem to improve the driving quality. In fact, it may have made it worse.]

Ne: Why do we keep letting him drive, no offense I know he's the boss and all… But if he crashes, Showfall can bring all of y'all back in the event of death… Not me.

Be: We let him drive because all of us have crashed before. He’s got a perfect fuckin’ record somehow.

C: I only crash on purpose! And I won’t be doing that with you in the car.

Ne: Thanks… I think.

W: That's a good thing, don't worry. Plus, I can't drive.

Ne: Yeah uh, me and tones are going to be tough… I definitely didn't only get 5 hours of sleep.

?: ‘s fine. I got… 10 minutes?

[Voice identified: Adelia.]

?: Adelia! That’s unhealthy!

[Voice identified: Ophelia.]

Ad: Girl, I saw you eating a giant bag full of marshmallows the other night, you can’t say shit.

O: That’s fair.

Ne: [Muttering.] I mean I ate a whole thing of ice cream the other night. Marshmallows are better in the grand scheme of things.

O: We all know the details, right?

W: Uh. Do we?

Ne: Uh… Did you guys tell me? I might have forgotten, honestly…

O: Oh, shit. Whoops. Alright. So! This group of conspiracy theorists have been… an issue before. But they’ve never gotten close to the truth like this before. There’s ten in total. We need to make sure nothing they’ve found out gets out. If even one word gets out to the public, we’d be in deep shit.

Ne: So uh, why do y'all need me?

?: Same reason we needed you last time. You’re a pretty valuable asset.

[Voice identified: Irene.]

Ne: I fucked shit up last time… Kinda a bad example don't you think?

O: I’ve fucked up jobs WAYYYY worse than that. You’re fine.

C: Like that one time in the 50s?

O: NO NO NO SHUT UP, DON’T BRING THAT UP. IT’S EMBARRASSING.

Ne: WAIT, HOLD ON… Is this like a… Murder job?

Be: Likely, yeah. Is that going to be a problem?

Ne: I've uh… Besides that one time never murdered anyone or watched someone be murdered in person.

C: Didn’t you watch a man get a crowbar jammed into his head?

Ne: Oh yeah… Forgot about that.

Ir: We need to invest in crowbars, those things look like they work super well!

Ne: Yeah um… Anyway, why exactly do you need me? How do I fit in?

Be: An honorary member is still kinda a member, also, Ophelia likes having you around.

O: That’s true!

Ne: Oh… Um, well I like hanging out with you guys so uh. Fair enough!

[Ness laughs, very obviously tired.]

C: Ness, have you ever been to an aquarium?

Ne: Maybe once when I was little, even then I don't know.

C: Nice, I remember bringing Naomi to one when she was like, 15. I think it might’ve even been this one. It got shut down for animal mistreatment a while back. And I definitely had nothing to do with them getting reported for it.

W: That's brilliant, dude!

C: Thanks. I… hm. I keep forgetting how out of the way that place is.

W: Are they, like, cool places to go to?

C: Depends, if you think abandoned buildings are cool, then yeah.

W: I did mean aquariums, but abandoned places are pretty cool!

C: Ah, shit. Yeah, aquariums are neat. If they treat the animals correctly.

Ne: I enjoy abandoned buildings… Probably helped that I lived in one for a few weeks when I first got here.

W: That definitely would I think.

Ne: Ugh, I really should have gotten more sleep…

[Ness yawns, shaking the camera.]

Ad: Aw, fuck. Now I need to yawn. When we get back, I’m taking a nap.

Ne: Speaking of sleep, I know Rose has been getting some… But Will, has Sparrow been sleeping or?

W: I..think. After the last few nights, not so much.

C: Hm. You should try setting a curfew or something.

Ne: Seeing as Peony is now in Rose's computer last I checked, that would probably fail.

C: They’re a child. They need the rest.

W: We've been trying, but if they don't listen it's kind of hard! We were teaching Peony how to play uno though!

O: Aww! I love uno! We can’t play it anymore, though.

C: Sorry.

Ne: Wha-

W: Ended in murder?

C: Look, it’s not my fault that Alexander decided to stack every +4 he had against me! I don’t even know why or how he had all of those. It was ridiculous.

Ne: Yeah uh… Fucking hell.

Ad: It was funny, though.

Ne: Yeah I bet… Still wild to hear though.

C: We’re close, by the way. Hold on to something, gotta make a few turns, and I’m going 125.

Ne: If I crash into someone again I'm not being held accountable.

O: Eden was the only one upset about that, and she’s not here, you should b–

[Ophelia is cut off by tires screeching, as the car takes a very sharp turn, jostling everyone around, the only thing heard is shouting for a few seconds. Along with laughter, likely from Cassius.]

Ne: JESUS FUCK-

W: SHIT-

Ad: CASS WHAT THE FUCK–

C: I warned you!

Ne: NOT ABOUT THE SHARP-

[Ness cuts herself off with a hiss of pain, her arms seen in frame grabbing at her head.]

C: Ooh, my bad.

W: Shit, you okay?

Ne: I hit my head on the door, owie.

Ir: Ah, that looks like it smarts. Yikes.

Ne: Yes, but fuck it we ball anyway.

[The car stops abruptly, Cassius turns in his seat.]

C: We’re here.

Ne: I'm not gonna need a disguise or anything am I?

W: if all goes well? Nah, you should be fine!

[Cassius opens the door and hops out, the rest of the PR team follows suit.]

[Ness stumbles out of the car, falling on the ground with the camera going dark before being put in one of her jacket pockets refocusing.]

W: Oh fuck! You ok?

Ne: I'll live. ‘Tis but a flesh wound.

[Ness removes a glove in front of the camera revealing she somehow scraped up her right hand through the glove.]

Ne: Literally.

W: Give me your hand for a sec?

Ne: My hand isn't Adam, I can't take it off when I want.

W: I did mean the figure of speech but that is true. May I see your hand then?

[Ness shows her scraped up hand to Will, holding it out.]

[William comes into frame, its face obscured. He pulls out antibacterial wipes from his pockets, and gently cleans the scrape before placing a plaster on it.]

W: There, done!

Ne: Thanks… So uh, what's the plan boss?

C: While you two were doing that, we sent Adelia and Becky in, they’re going to scope it out and report back.

Ne: Oh, fair enough. Am I going to have to kill anyone?

O: Only if you want to.

Ne: Cool. Um… So can I ask a question?

O: Sure! Shoot!

Ne: How uh, how does Showfall view me helping PR?

O: Um.

[Ophelia looks away.]

W: They. Don't know. I don't think.

Ne: Oh, probably a good thing right? I'd imagine I'd kinda be just a little screwed if they found out.

O: Er, yeah. A little.

Ne: Hm… Anyway, how have y'all been?

W: Shit, honestly.

O: I’ve been fine, and I can understand why you’d be not… doing well.

Ne: Hm… Well, I hope you get to feeling better, Will.

O: The rest of PR has been doing… okay? I think? Nicholas has been annoying the fuck out of everyone by being loud, but that’s about it.

Ir: Yeah, I’ve been good, Cass?

[No response.]

W:..Cass?

[Cassius says nothing, staring at his watch with a concerned expression.]

W: What's wrong?

C: Text from Becky. They have weapons. We might need to go in now.

W: fuck, okay.

Ne: Ight… Ok.

[Ness hops up, beginning to quietly hum.]

C: Be ready for anything, guys. I honestly have no idea what this group is capable of. Alexander didn’t know much, so we have nothing to work with.

Ne: That's… Not great.

[Cassius nods, and begins to make his way to the entrance.]

Ne: Will, you ready?

W: Ready as I can be, I guess! You can still back out if you want to, we won't take it personally?

Ne: No it's fine, I'll be fine.

W: ..if you're sure!

[William follows Cassius, smiling at Ness.]

[Ness follows both of them, seemingly more worried then the other two. As seen in her extremely slow footsteps.]

[As soon as everyone is at the door, Cassius opens it, and steps inside. The group is immediately greeted by 10 people in red clothing, only matching in color. Adelia and Becky are both in the center of the main area, which is filled with glass tanks, some of which are still filled with green murky water, such as the main tank, which appears to have water all the way to the top. With a small hatch as an entrance. One of the people appears to recognize Cassius, and turns bright red with pure rage.]

?: YOU!

C: Wh–

Ne: WHO?

W: which of us-

?: YOU MOTHERFUCKER! YOU HAVE A LOT OF NERVE SHOWING YOUR FACE AROUND HERE! FUCK YOU!

C: Oh my fucking god. I know this guy.

W: You're shitting me. That guys gonna go straight for you, mate.

C: Look, it’s not my fault that he thinks I’m the reason his daughter is… well. Hm.

Ne: SHOULD I RUN?

C: Nah, you should be good. If Eden got her fighting skills from her fathers side, then you’ll be fine.

Ne: Oh.

W: Oh! It's him!

C: Yeah… um. I need to make a quick phone call.

[Cassius types something on his watch, and starts talking into it.]

C: Yo, Eden. You said you hated your dad, right?

?: [Over the watch.] Uh, yeah? Why?

[Voice identified: Eden.]

C: Well, he’s here right now. Can I…?

E: Yeah, sure. Go ahead. I don’t give a shit.

[Cassius hangs up.]

C: We’ve been given the go ahead. Let’s get this over with.

Ne: Yep.

W: On it.

Ne: Let me just.

[Ness places a rubber band around her pocket with the camera.]

Ne: Ok! I'm ready.

[Cassius dashes forward, the metal spider-like limbs appearing as he moves, he manages to punch one of the people in red, sending them to the ground with a yelp of pain and surprise.]

[Ness follows suit, running forward and decking one of the people in the jaw, knocking them to the ground with a shout.]

[The Archivist ended up darting to the left, lunging at someone just out of the camera's view.]

Ne: OK WHAT’S THE PLAN!

O: NO IDEA! JUST FUCK SHIT UP, I GUESS?

Ne: OH I'M GOOD AT THAT!

O: GREAT! SAME HERE!

[Ness picks one of the people up on her shoulders, dropping them on her knee. A pop heard as Ness grabs her kneecap for a moment.]

?: HEY! ASSHOLE! LOOK UP HERE!

[Ness looks up the camera in the pocket following suit.]

?: NOT YOU, THE… OTHER BLONDE ONE!

C: What? What do you–

[The camera reveals the speaker on top of the main tank, holding Will by the arm tightly near the entrance hatch to the tank.]

?: Make one more fucking move, and I drop this fucker into the damn water.

W: let fucking go of me- Ignore this prick!

[Cassius mutters something inaudible, but likely in french, before breaking into a sprint, running to get to the top of the tank. He arrives within seconds, barely stopping before tackling the man into the green water of the tank. The two fight violently, almost fully seen through the glass. Blood seeps into the water as they battle, the struggle causing the grime at the bottom of the tank to be stirred up. A quiet metal clang can be heard at the top, but it goes unnoticed.]

W: CASS!

[The thrashing in the water finally subsides after 18 seconds, and Cassius attempts to resurface now that he has won, only to find that the entrance to the tank had been shut during the struggle. He swims back down to the glass, and attempts to break it with his shoulder, but to no avail.]

W: SOMEONE TRY TO BREAK THE GLASS! I'M TRYING TO GET THIS OPEN!

[Ness runs over, limping from the injured kneecap. Starting to punch the glass.]

[Cassius attempts to punch it as well, and when that doesn’t work, he tries to kick it. Still nothing. He bangs on the glass with a flat palm, eyes wide, staring at Ness. His strength rapidly fading.]

W: IT- IT'S JAMMED! I CANT- I CAN'T OPEN IT!

Ne: [Audibly crying.] GET A FUCKING HAMMER! SOMEONE FIND SOMETHING PLEASE!

[Ness switches to hitting the glass with her forearm, blood from her hands smearing on the glass.]

O: A LITTLE PREOCCUPIED, I’M SORRY!

[Cassius opens his mouth, and tries to shout the words ‘Help me, please.’ But all that comes out are bubbles. His hands go to his throat, clawing desperately at it. The burning from the lack of oxygen likely feeling like actual torture. After a few seconds of this, his movements slow, and finally stop. He now floats motionless in the tank.]

W: NO. NONONONONO! FUCK!

[Ness continues trying to break the glass, now using her already injured kneecap. Still nothing.]

Ne: GOD DAMNIT FUCKING HELP!

Be: Holy fucking shit, I– god, that– okay!

[Becky can be heard sprinting over, she stops right beside Ness.]

[Will can be heard sprinting down the metal steps, and jumping from a semi-safe distance to the floor next to them. From what the camera glimpses, it is distraught. One side of his face is covered in tears.]

Ne: PLEASE! NONONONONO.

[A pair of footsteps approach Ness from behind, someone off to the side shrieks, and a second pair joins the mix.]

Ne: Wha-

[Ness turns around to see one of the people in red running directly at her with a large knife in hand, the person almost reaches her, but is knocked out of the way by Ophelia. The previous attacker lunges at Ophelia, sending both of them to the ground; they attempt to stab Ophelia, but she easily catches their arm. Ophelia then turns to Ness, about to say something, but her voice dies as she sees the tank behind Ness. Her grip on the person's arm loosens, and they manage to sink the knife into xer throat. Xe stares at them for a few seconds as blood steadily flows from the stab wound. Zer eyes fill with tears from the pain, and she goes limp.]

Ne: I… O- Ophelia..?

[Ness begins seemingly laughing and sobbing, a pain response. She begins slowly moving over to Ophelia.]

Ne: O- Ophelia… It's n- Not funny…

?: HA! Two down! [Aside.] Guys, we can d–

[Ness cuts the figure off, jamming a knife into their chest right before ripping their throat out. Kicking the figure to the floor to pull the knife out.]

[The Archivist passes the camera, a blur of motion, patting Ness on the back gently before setting off again, lunging at another person in red. He bites down on their shoulder, sending the person down as it attacks them. The Archivist proceeds to simply mutilate anywhere it can reach. He goes for their eyes first, pressing it's claws fingers into the Individual's eyes as a sickening squelching sound is heard. The person barely has time to scream before A attacks them again, this time tearing at their face. Chunks of skin and viscera alike are seen to be flying around the victim person, before The Archivist begins to tear at their chest. The crunch of bone is picked up by the camera as its hand reaches into their chest, and pulls out a still-squirming heart. The figure goes limp, and for good measure it swiftly grabs their head and twists it.]

[Off to the side, Adelia can be seen with her hand on someone's jaw, feet planted on their shoulders, and one hand on their head. She yanks their jaw off of their skull, and blood flies upwards as she does. Becky is nearby stomping someone's ribs in, her legs getting coated in red as well.]

[Ness runs forward, grabbing a crowbar and spinning towards a figure in red. Jamming the crowbar sharp end first into the person's face, the rusted metal of the crowbar can be barely seen in the person's mouth and left eye socket. They fall limp as Ness and the camera begin looking around.]

[Ness stops on Irene for a little, watching as she sits on someone's torso, twirls a knife in the air, and makes several surgically precise cuts, opening the person up and jamming the knife into their insides. Ness looks away.]

Ne: [Between laughing and tears.] W- where… Where…

[A turns, a murderous glint slowly leaving its eye as it settles on Ness.]

A/W: ..hm?

Ne: Person. Where are the people?

[The Archivist jerks its head in the direction behind Ness, the glint returning as its sight settles on the anarchy behind her.]

[Ness continues turning until finally spotting someone, their hands in front of them pleading.]

?: YOU’RE BOTH FUCKING MONSTERS! BOTH OF YOU DESERVE TO BURN IN HE-

[Ness runs up and kicks the man in one of his legs, breaking it with an inhuman snap. Doing the same to the other one, before stabbing the man multiple times in the arms and chest. He screams as Ness jams a knife into his gut, dragging it across his stomach causing multiple sets of intestines to fall out along with blood. She drops the man down and continues stabbing him again and again and again.]

Ne: [Laughing.] DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DI- Di- die…

[Ness drops the knife, staring at the dead body in front of her before moving back, looking around to see other dead bodies, Ness stops at The Archivist.]

[The Archivist's head tilts at her, somewhat confused.]

Ne: [Crying.] What did I just do..?

A/W: Bad human. Helped. [It's voice sounds mechanically distorted.]

Ne: [Crying.] Your voice… Why is your voice like that?

[It makes a confused sound, and touches its throat hesitantly. Shaking his head, it scampers over to Ness.]

Ne: Will… I murdered three people.

A/W: Same number. As me.

Ne: What… Is with your voice?

A/W: The Archivist.

Ne: I thought… You were William?

A/W: Mhm.

Ne: I don't… Fucking care what Showfall calls you. I'm calling you Will.

A/W: Hm.

Ne: Cuz if you're the Archivist, does that make Rose “The Editor” or Edgar “The Mechanic”?

A/W: NO. NEVER. SAY. THAT.

Ne: THEN YOU AIN'T THE ARCHIVIST. FAIRS FAIR.

[The Archivist stares directly at Ness for a minute or so, before its body language completely changes. The glint in its eye has disappeared, its body relaxes, and he's looking down at his hands in mute horror.]

Ne: Hug?

[Will nods, shaking.]

[Ness hugs Will, removing the blood covered glove on her left hand to grab the back of it's head.]

Ne: I got you.

[William breaks down completely. He starts sobbing as he hugs Ness, slightly obscuring the camera.]

Ne: It's going to be ok… Um… Need some water?

W: C-c-cant. The o-others.

Ne: Right… Um… Fuck.

[Ness helps William up, before almost instantly falling back down to a knee.]

[Will moves back, to catch Ness quickly.]

Ne: MOTHERFUCKING SON OF A BITCH!

[Ness grabs at her kneecap, seemingly trying to fix it.]

W: D-don't. Damage it more.

Ir: [Distant.] Are you two okay?

Ne: I FUCKING DISLOCATED MY GODDAMN KNEECAP AGAIN!

Ir: [Still distant.] Oh, shit! Um. Can I carry you two over here? Just so we can all be grouped together?

Ne: UP TO WILL!

W: B-but, Cass and Ophelia..?

Ir: [Approaching.] We… can figure it out in a sec.

Ne: WAIT THE CROWBAR! THE- THE CROWBAR! I JAMMED IT INTO A GUYS FACE SOMEWHERE!

Be: Oh! Good point! Maybe that can break the glass!

[Irene finally gets to Ness and Will, quickly picking them both up under her arms and carrying them like large cats over to the rest of the group.]

Ne: Can someone please relocate my kneecap?

Ad: I can try! Becky, Irene, go get the crowbar. I’ll… do this.

Ne: Yeah uh, turns out using a wrestling finisher with your bad knee on an actual person and then kneeing glass is a bad idea.

Ad: Boy, I’ll say! Jesus! Good job on those three, by the way! Uh, sorry if that was like, mentally scarring. Okay, giving you a countdown… 3… 2…

[Adelia suddenly jolts her arms, relocating the kneecap on 2 instead of 1.]

Ne: FUCCCCCCCCCCCK!

Ad: Haha, sorry. Sometimes people like, stop me before I can do it so I’ve just… started doing that.

[William does go to hold one of Ness's hands, but looks at his own and pauses, before dropping them to it's sides.]

Ad: Aw, jeez, Will. You’re not doing that great, are you? We’re going back soon, dude. Don’t worry. Everything will be okay.

[He looks distantly at Adelia, nodding in a small, nearly missed action.]

Ne: I'm sure… Rose will help… Um… Can someone hold my phone for a moment? I need to throw up.

Ad: Of course, Ness.

[As Adelia takes the phone, a shout can be heard from the area near the tank.]

Ir: Not yet! You’ll flood the whole damn room! At least give everyone a chance to get to higher ground! The water is super gross, too!

Be: Ugh. Fine. [To the others.] HEY! You guys should like, move! We’re about to break the glass! It’s gonna be gross!

[Will makes a noise of indication, not being able to form words.]

Ne: Give me a minu-

[Ness cuts herself off, a retching noise heard out of frame.]

Ad: Oh. Ew. [A pause.] SORRY. SORRY. I’ll help you get to like. A bench or something.

Ne: Ow. Ok that would be appreciated.

Ad: I can’t carry y’all as well as Irene. So… sorry.

[Adelia tries her best to get Ness and Will to a bench, having to stop a couple times to take a break. But she makes it to a bench and helps them both up. She hands Ness the phone.]

Ad: Here’s your phone back, by the way. Um. Yeah. I’m going to go help with breaking the glass.

[Adelia jogs away, joining the other two PR members at the glass tank. She makes it over just as Becky swings, and it nearly whacks her in the head.]

W: I could've prevented that.

Ne: So could I…

Ir: HEY! I can feel the negative energy from over here! This wasn’t your fault, you’re both fine!

Ne: I COULD'VE DUCKED! OR HELPED WILL GET THAT DOOR OPEN!

W: I could've just, not got caught in the first place. Not cause Cass to come up there.

Ne: I mean… I got caught last time. I know how it feels… Kinda.

Ad: We’ve all had those moments, I remember the first time this shit happened to me… fuckin’ hell. I was devastated. I thought I fucked everything up. But! Cass came into my room the next day with a popsicle and just congratulated me on the work I did. He’s just going to be glad you’re okay.

Ne: I uh… Fuck… I can't say I know how you guys in the mall feel… Is that how Rose felt watching her big sister be taken? Having to watch?

[Will nods and mutters something.]

W: ‘is likely. .

Ad: [Cheerfully.] Yeah, probably!

[Irene punches Adelia in the arm.]

Ad: Hey! I– um. I mean… yeah. Probably. Sorry.

Ne: Is Ophelia going to hate me? I just had to move, move a muscle move a fucking inch. I watched the closest thing I have to a big sister die.

Ad: What is it with you guys and thinking that people who sacrifice themselves for you are going to hate you? Like, come on! They made that choice to help you because they care! Ophelia isn’t going to hate you when she’s back. I’ll bet she’s going to be a bit worried. But she won’t fuckin’ hate ya. Same with Cass.

Ne: It's called survivor's guilt! I think…

[Ness mutters something inaudible to the mic.]

Be: Aye! Can I break the glass now? I’ve been waiting for a while!

[Will gently nudges Ness, but replies]

W: I-I think so! Is Ophelia on higher ground?

Ir: Shit–

[Irene jogs over to where Ophelia’s body is. Lifting her off the ground and running to put zem down on a different bench. She holds up her hand and gives Becky a thumbs up.]

Be: Finally!

Ad: Should I mov–

[Adelia is cut off by the crowbar swinging towards the glass, shattering it, and sending a wave of murky green water out across the floor. Adelia is swept off her feet and carried halfway across the room. She sits up as the water settles, gagging.]

Ad: UGH. GROSS.

Ne: Um…

[Ness can be heard slowly beginning to cry once again.]

Be: I’ll grab Cass.

[Becky scans the area, their eyes settle on a shape that is halfway out of the tank. She walks up and grabs the shape, lifting it up and walking forward slightly, allowing it to be illuminated by a small bit of light in the building. The light reveals it to be Cassius, unmoving, soaking wet and covered in cuts that are slowly oozing blood.]

[Will squeaks, and hugs Ness, hiding his head in her shoulder.]

[Ness’ shaking is visible in the recording, she doesn't move. The only noise is her crying.]

Be: Fuck. That… Jesus. That looks like it really hurt…

[Becky stares at Cassius’ neck, which is also bleeding, likely from when he was clawing at his throat earlier.]

Ir: Shit… we need to get back to the mall. Are we all good to leave?

Ad: Yeah, I’m ready.

Be: Same. How about you two?

[Ness still does not respond, seemingly zoning out on Ophelia’s corpse.]

[Will just shakes his head, still quivering.]

Ad: I’ll grab Ophelia, Irene, are you good to carry those two out?

Ir: Mhm.

Ad: Great. Who’s driving?

Ne: I'll drive.

[Ness goes to stand up, but seemingly finally notices Will and sits back down.]

[Irene approaches the two, and picks them up as she did before, following the other two out the door, water sloshing around her ankles.]

Ne: Will… Please talk to Rose or Edgar about any emotional things. I'm not a good therapist but I'm still worried.

[Irene puts them down near the car, and makes eye contact with Will for a few seconds.]

Ir: Or any of us. We might not be very good at emotional… well. Anything. But we’re here anyway.

[William nods at what both of them say, but doesn't make a verbal response. He's numb to what's happening around him.]

Ne: Um… Fucking hell.

[Adelia pokes her head out of the car.]

Ad: Do you need a minute? We’re ready to go, but if you need a second to process stuff before we put you in charge of whether we make it to the mall in one piece or not, please feel free.

Ne: I… I stabbed a man 47 and a half times, I GUTTED THE SAME PERSON!

Be: If it makes you feel any better, I stomped someone out!

Ne: I just… I draw stuff like that… Never done it… What happened to me?

[Ness's hands pop up into frame, one covered with blood the other not as much. They both seem to be shaking though.]

Ir: Same thing that happened to us. But… a little less. You still feel bad about it. That’s good.

Ne: That's the scary thing… I don't feel bad… I'm scared… I… I… What if I do that to someone I care about?

Ir: Ness, lemme tell you something. It’s… hard. To do that. Not impossible, yeah. But it’s hard. If you care about someone, it’ll take a bit of willpower to hurt ‘em. It takes less to stop yourself, I’ve found.

Ne: I… Thanks…

W: Wouldn't. You wouldn't.

Ne: And neither would you… I see the look in your eye.

[Will just smiles, with a melancholy sense about it, and looks at the floor.]

Ne: It's true.

Ad: [Within the car.] We… should get going.

W: What if I left.

Be: Huh? Like. Just walked away? I dunno.

W: Just walked away. Would you guys come after me?

Be: Depends. What would you want us to do?

W: I don't know. I just don't want to go back there. But I have to.

Ne: I could take you to Marina's old house for a few days.

Ir: That could end… very badly. For reasons I’m sure both of you are aware of.

W: Yeah, I just... I don't want to do this. I want to go home.

Ir: Hm… I kinda get that. But… I don’t think I’ll ever fully understand.

Ne: Hey um… Rose is probably going to get you out come hell or high water, they made it pretty clear they ain't going to leave family behind.

[Will softly chuckles a bit.]

W: Of course.

Be: I think we all need a small break of sorts. Once we get back, I’m putting a movie on in the main room and making popcorn. If anyone wants to join.

Ne: I literally can't join.

W: I have to check in on the others. Don't know if they're okay. Could I bring some for them?

Be: Yeah, sure! Of course!

Ne: Tell Rose I'm sorry? Sorry for uh… That.

W: Thank you, Really. I will, Ness, promise.

Ir: Do you need any help getting into the car? Or are you both alright?

W: Ness? You, okay?

[Ness again mumbles something under her breath not heard by the camera.]

Ir: What was that?

Ne: Yeah I'm fine.

Ir: Alright, if you say so…

[Irene steps away, and gets into the passenger seat of the car, leaving Ness and Will alone.]

Ne: Ready Will?

W: ..I'm sorry this is how it went. But, yeah. Gonna have to be, huh?

Ne: Ok then.

W: Ness?

Ne: Yeah?

W: Thank you. For everything today. I'm… really sorry I didn't help more.

Ne: Hey dude, it's no problem… Don't worry about it.

W: You're.. really nice, by the way. Like, really. Thank you.

Ne: Hm… I uh… Thanks.

[Ness slowly opens the car doors for both herself and Will.]

[Will gets in quietly, not saying much else.]

Ad: Please… ignore the sloshing noises in the back. We… um… yeah.

Ne: Seatbelts everyone.

Be: Aye aye, captain!

W: Already ahead of you!

Ne: Ok, should I um play music?

Ad: Depends, are you gonna play good music?

Ne: I um… Depends on what you consider ‘good music.’

Ad: I don’t actually know what I consider good music. Go ahead.

Ne: Did Will already fall asleep?

Be: Yep. Out cold… jeez.

[Ness begins playing some music, identified as ‘Guardian battle’ from legend of zelda breath of the wild.]

Be: Oh, HELL yeah! Make this car ride a little more thrilling! Woo!

[Ness speeds out of the driveway/parking lot they are in.]

[End transcript.]

OOC: YEAH I WAS HOPING FOR THIS ONE

Gray's a fucking marshmallow on the inside, lemme tell ya. He likes flowers, he bakes and cooks a LOT, he doesn't shut up about how much he loves his family, friends, and team. Bro is soft in pretty much every way, with the slight exception of being the slightest bit boney due to his skinniness, but that's being literal lol

[soraavalon]

DM: As you guys continue on you reach the edge of night and the edge of Winter and as you come along there is a small town where you're welcome to rest. It's this lovely little group of cottages and shops and things like that. There is an inn in town for you guys to spend the night in so you don't have to camp out in the cold on the road.

Mistletoe: Mistletoe is voting for camping on the road and just talking about how fun it'll be.

Marigold (OOC): Oh my god. What was the other option?

DM: There's an inn in a cottage-y town that is up ahead.

Marigold: Hmm, yeah I'm good with the road.

Hunt: I would prefer not to be freezing in the cold so I'm gonna go for the inn.

Mistletoe: Look, we can build a campfire and roast marshmallows and tell ghost stories.

Nathaniel: I'm not particularly in favor of splitting the party.

Tark: Tark has the same look Nathaniel saw when he mentioned them camping out in the warehouse. Just see the 'would rather kill myself, thanks'.

Rymer: This far out they're probably not associated with the Courts so it should be fine to negotiate some rooms.

Mistletoe: Mistletoe just kind of shrugs. "I think we'll be missing out on a fun bonding experience."

Rymer: Yeah okay, we're going to the inn.

Kyōtani x Fem!Chubby reader

:fluff

Right after you transferred schools you met him, Kentarō Kyōtani who always seems angry for no reason. You were also in the same class as him, you were a total goody-good shoes you never skip classes, never even were late. kind of a nerd and a teachers' pet. None of them really wanted to hang out with you because they think you were just some boring nerd, They only talk to you every time they needed help with some lessons they couldn't understand. You were all good with everything, you didn't have much friends so you call it 'less distraction.' Not until this guy Kentarō Kyōtani gave you lots of attention, not the good kind one he would always lift your skirt catching the attention of anyone around, he always teases you and would grab you by the waist and calls you his "marshmallow" or "mallow" in short because you were chubby, it's not like you hated it you actually enjoyed it because no one really gives you nicknames. You see you were never really insecure about being chubby since you accepted who you are and were working more on your confidence.

He was that kind of kid who only cares about sports and stuff and was always absent every single day for class. Until your advisor gave a project and you got paired up with him, you sigh out of annoyance knowing that he would make you do all the work. "Oh YOU'RE my partner?" He said while sounding as if he didn't want it to be you. "Uhm yeah.." He just stares at you while taking the seat beside him. As your teacher was discussing the project he was minding his business doodleling on a piece of paper and then suddenly passed it to you. You tried to ignore him but he kept on passing you the paper, wanting him to shut up you opened the paper he gave you that wrote 'im bored skip with me' with a bunch of smiley faces and random stuff. As you glared at him he just gave you a smirk and moved his chair closer to you, you were flustered with his actions, knowing the rumors that he's the kind of guy who would probably beat you up. You had always found him attractive ever since you transferred but after hearing the rumors you kinda got disappointed trying to push away your feelings. So you kicked his chair away from you making him laugh at your reaction. The time passed by and the bell rang, you sigh "finally" whispering under your breath, you got up as he grabbed your wrist "hey wait up mallow" "what do you want?" You respond feeling a blush across your cheeks 'that damn nickname' you thought "won't we talk about the project?" "Oh- yeah, but don't you have practice?" "How'd you know that hmm?" He said smirking at you. "I-it doesn't matter!" Well, you just know that every Thursday the boys' volleyball team has practice. "Alright then" he said while laughing a bit hugging you from behind. You never understood why he acts like that around you, you never really saw him acting like this to others. "Wha-" before you finished your sentence he cuts you off with a "Yeah, but I'm always free for you."

scar having "This is your land, where you are the author of your own story" in his theme park announcement is standing out so strongly to me. you've infected me with meta brainrot

YEAH the noise i made when he was like "look at my announcement" and started fucking talking about stories was. not human. mr goodtimes thank you for feeding a poor humble fic writer's lust for narrative worship. it's appreciated.

(but Yes pls join me in the scar-and-stories meta brainrot pit. it's dark down here, but it's pretty comfy. i have marshmallows. and my leg in this bear trap that means i can never leave, but don't worry about that. ignore it. focus on the marshmallows.)

real talk, the fun thing about the scar-and-stories theme i keep banging away at is that like...

one, c!scar is canonically a conman / confidence trickster / high pressure salesman / charming asshole who always gets what he wants, which means he does legitimately constantly use weaponised stories, and it's only a tiny nudge sideways to make that an occult / spiritual / world-build-y thing.

two, i personally have a lot of fun weird semi-religious opinions about stories, and this is a very cathartic way of working out what exactly those feelings are, and also propaganda.

but three, cc!scar - perhaps best out of everyone on the server, other than maybe bdubs, and maybe joe but i think tbh joe is just Being Weird rather than doing this on purpose - understands how storytelling works.

we see this constantly. like, yes, mcc has improved his combat skills, but it's very very obvious that he plays up being an imcompetent klutz. other than when the narrative allows him to do otherwise. which is why, now, at the moment, he's suddenly very good with a bow - yes, because he's gotten good with it bc mcc, but mostly because it's funny and serves the story that ren has initiated. and, out of all the hermits, he's perhaps the most responsive to changing what or who he is in response to the demands of the story, without it ever feeling ooc or like it's some dramatic change. just... scar is good with a bow now because it's funny in the context of the current story for him to be good, and he'll stop being good with with (or at least stop doing pvp) when it stops being funny. and at no point will this feel incoherent, or jarring, because he is very good with this.

(and, here, i start blurring the c! vs cc! lines, because when we're talking about acting skills or style, there's an inherent ambiguity there. is c!scar or cc!scar a good actor and storyteller? yes.)

crucially, though, this shape-shifting, story-shaping skill scar has - where he adapts seamlessly to and merges into the story being told, even if he's not the one that started telling it - means that he can ensnare other people in stories too. we all know it from third life, with the whole "give me your armour and i'll give you friendship points" where he dangles a yes and opportunity in front of the other ccs that is too fun for them to pass up and so manages to snag decent armour (despite grian behind him the whole time yelling that they shouldn't listen and it's a bad deal). but he's doing it with ren and bdubs this season, too, just... never saying no, but trapping them within the conceits of the story they themselves are telling to get what he wants (i.e. not having to give up his shop). and it's very well done. he's very good at this! very, very good. and it's done deliberately enough he clearly knows what he's doing, he knows he's playing people-

and then we tangle back into c!scar as a conman, and a confidence trickster, and a charming asshole who always gets what he wants. and how some of that, part of that, a large part of that, is because cc!scar (and, by extension, c!scar) is very good with stories.

Christmas Lovin' - K.Tsukishima

-fluff, gender neutral reader, reader is shorter, a little ooc tsukki but he's cute

Padding through the snow, you shivered, wanting to quickly get to Tsukishima's house so you could get warmed up by the fire. Turning the corner you stopped in front of his gate and fished out your phone to take a quick picture of the snow covered trees and the shining stars in the background.

Pushing the gate open, you stepped inside just as the door opened to reveal Tsukishima in his coat pulling his boots on.

"Took you long enough, squirt. I was just on my way to see if you got lost." he said, walking towards you and quietly taking your hands in his to warm them.

Smiling softly at the action, you leaned up to press a kiss against his cheek. "Let's go inside, hm?" "I can't feel my toes anymore." you added as you lead him back inside his house.

"Do you want marshmallows with your hot chocolate?" Tsukishima voiced from the kitchen as you got settled on his couch. "Is that seriously a question you're asking me?" you laughed "Ofcourse I do, Kei."

Handing you your mug he settled next to you and pulled you into his side. "When did you say your parents and brother are getting home?" you questioned, peering up at him as you took a sip of the drink in your hands. "Tomorrow night." he answered not looking away from the Christmas movie playing on the TV.

"Say, Kei?" "Yeah?" "You wanna put up some Christmas lights?" "Okay, but you're gonna have to get them from my brother's room because I'm not moving." "Salty french fry." you muttered, eyes shining with mirth as you stood to go get the lights. "What did you say?" Tsukishima questioned from the living room, light teasing in his voice. "Nothing." you answered in a sugary sweet voice, smiling innocently.

Coming down the stairs, you blew lightly on the top of the cardboard box in which the golden lights were. "C'mon Kei, stand up and help me out." you said pulling the lights out of the box. Standing, he put his cup down and walked towards the windows to help you put them up.

Dusting your hands, you stood proudly with your hands on your hips, grinning at the beautiful golden lights. With the snow gently falling outside the windows, it looked truly magical.

Grabbing the remote, you switched to Youtube to put on some Christmas songs. Lowering the volume, the both of you settled back on the couch, basking in the moment and sharing quiet conversation.

Hearing All I Want For Christmas Is You by Mariah Carey come on, you squealed and pulled Tsukishima up as you turned up the volume. "What're you doing, shortcake?"

"Let's dance Kei, please?" you pleaded looking up at him with your eyes shining with excitement. Giving in, he sighed as he let you grab his hand and pull him toward you.

Looking at you dance with your hands in his, your eyes lighting up with glee and the giggles you let out truly warmed his heart. It was a memory he would cherish forever and made a mental note to make this a tradition for the both of you.

Pulling you towards his chest he let his hands fall to your waist to hold you as he settled his chin on your head. "Let's stay like this for some time, okay?" he questioned and you found yourself nodding, smiling from ear to ear at how affectionate Tsukishima was being.

"I love you." you said against his chest, sighing and leaning into him. Tsukishima could feel his heartbeat quicken and he prayed that you wouldn't feel his heart beating that fast. "I guess you're tolerable." he mumbled into your hair, pressing a kiss against the crown of your head as he pulled away from you.

Leaning down to look in your eyes, he grabbed your hands to press a kiss to the knuckle of each hand. "I adore you." he mumbled lowly, ears painted red. Smiling at him, you reached your hand up to his cheek pulling him into a soft kiss.

Leaning into you, Tsukishima couldn't help but think that maybe this wasn't such a bad way to spend Christmas.
