@allcluia asked: ❛  you're not scared, are you?  ❜ Rickey @ Kurt

↳ From a meme I'm no longer accepting

" What, me, scared? No! "

   Okay, so maybe he's a little bit scared. He's still freaked out about that weird place he teleported into those couple of times where his teleportation was slowed down after all, so he's sort of weirded out a little bit by the whole thing Rickey does. He knows Charles will give him an earful though if he gives the other a hard time.

" It's uh .. interesting? "

   That probably doesn't help either.

@plasticsouled asked: Todd knew that Nimue didn't want a party, or a big hullabaloo over her birthday -- she didn't even want him telling the other guys! But... that didn't mean he couldn't get her a gift!

He waited until the other guys were either out, or distracted by other things, before he texted Nimue to come up to his room. Once she was in and shut the door behind her, he held out a poorly wrapped gift. Inside was a self made, framed, meme: it featured a toad and black cat, photoshopped to look like they were somewhat kissing, with some comic sans text on it that read, 'you and I are purrrrfect together, warts & all!'

"Happy birthday! I've been, heh, waitin to give this to ya all day."

// I DIDNT FORGET!!!!!!!!

Nimue's B-Day || Accepting Today Only

   Seeing how Todd seemed to be, she had a feeling he'd still try to do something for her regardless, which is why she's not even remotely upset and even more grateful he waited until nobody would really pick up on what was going on. She even took the extra precaution to make sure nobody had spotted her as she slipped away, but maybe she'll let the others know next year .. 

   That aside, she can't help but melt slightly at the sight of the gift, poorly wrapped or not, and of course the laugh that followed regarding the actual present. He really was something else, and in a good way too. Quickly kissing him, she pulls him into a hug, as best as she can with one arm anyway, and again a brief purr could be heard before she speaks.

" And I'm quite happy with my purrfect prince too, warts and all. So I'd say this is pretty accurate. "

" I love everything about him. "

   It would be easy to just answer with that and leave it, as it's the truth, but she supposes she should probably be a little more specific. 

" I love that he can make me laugh, or that he listens to me whenever I need to talk. He also tries to help, and no matter if they help or not, I still love that he tries. There's also the fact that I can feel safe around him, especially since he's been nothing but honest with me. " 

   For the most part anyway. When it matters, he has been.

" I love that he's imperfect which makes him perfect. I love how he looks too, even if he's not confident in his own appearance. Also, the energy he seems to have is really endearing to me, it's .. a welcome difference from what I'm used to. I love that he's made my life a little brighter, and I hope I'm able to do the same for him one day. "

Send “You belong to me” to see how my muse reacts. || Currently Accepting

↳ Send “I belong to you” for the reverse.

   At first, the most she responds with is a gentle ' mrrp ' as it takes her a moment to process what was said outside of just hearing his voice in general. Far too comfortable right where she was, at some point she had started to drift in and out of sleep. Then again, she had simply just felt safe enough to do so around him. 

   Adjusting herself enough so she could place kisses on his face before resting her forehead against his, there's a slight hum followed by a smile.

" And in turn, I belong to you. So we belong to each other, right? "

   That was the only logical way to look at it, in her opinion. There wasn't just one side who belonged to the other, but rather she considered them equal in this regard, or maybe that's just how she sees it. 

   Placing a kiss on his nose, she moves back to resting against him, arms moving to wrap around him as well. She'd much rather not move from her spot unless she has to, since it means she'll be right here with him.

" I love you, Todd. I hope you know that. "

   It was only a matter of time before frustrations regarding why her father was here would come out, and at some point she had began to toss ideas out. One had been the concept of finding a fake date, which she almost threw out the window until Todd had spoken up and caused her to stop in her tracks.

" What- "

   It takes her a moment, or two really, as her lips press into a thin line. He was far closer to her than anyone else, and one thing her father knew about her is she didn't let people touch her that easily, or be that close in general. Finally stopping her pacing, she sits down on her bed beside Todd, hands resting beside her on the blanket as she taps one of her index fingers against the fabric. 

   Should she really risk it?

" Are you sure you're okay with it. I mean .. I don't know him that well but he tends to be pretty observant. For all I know he could see right through it. " 

   Or worse, he'd call the bluff and they'd have to pull something on the spot. 

" I just .. I don't want to put you through that, especially if you're not even really comfortable with the idea. I mean, he probably won't be impressed, but he never really is. He'll leave me alone if he thinks I'm dating someone already, though. "

   What do you mean she's flustered and made a terrible sound in response to that? No she didn't. She absolutely did and is hoping he didn't hear it-

For the most part, things were going well, but to nobodies surprise the both of them were at it yet again. Whatever Kurt did to cheat, Todd was the only one who saw it, despite Kurt trying to be slick about it. 

   That's not going to stop him from denying it though.

   Oh, so that's how today's going to be. Leave it to Todd to be the one to distract her from whatever might be on her mind, considering she can't help but let out a laugh at that as she turns to face him. She probably should think her response through, but she doesn't, considering she leans forward just a little bit. 

" I always did believe actions speak louder than words, so that's not an empty promise is it? You can't just tease a girl like that after all. "

@plasticsouled asked: " ❗❗❗ " // Todd for Nimue... hehehe... i mean what--

Send " ❗❗❗ " for your muse to suddenly and unexpectedly kiss mine. || Selectively Accepting

   So it was a minor slip-up, and of course she had to slip up with Todd was around this time too. It's bad enough the boys teased her constantly, but with him now knowing, she dreaded whatever response would actually end up coming forward despite the fact most, if not all of the Brotherhood had insisted he felt the same about her. 

   How does she know that they're not just messing with her like some guys like to do? Rejection, and losing a friend was something she feared more than anything, so she had kept it under wraps as best as she could.

   Already embarrassed by the outburst as is, she had instantly taken off to hide in her room. Granted, it's not much of a place to hide when they all know where to find her, and at this point she's expecting the worst. Sure enough it's not long after she can hear Todd outside her door. 

   She's silent for a moment, half waiting for a knock, or maybe his voice, something. It's a little too nerve wracking, so much so that she's almost tempted to open the door but just before she's able to reach the doorknob, she can hear what seems to be hesitant knocking followed by his voice. 

   And of course, she does not have the will to ignore him. Not after everything he's done for her.

   Slowly opening the door just a crack, she tries to read his expression first, but too many thoughts are flooding her own mind to make a sensible conclusion. Just jumbled negative ones thinking the worst. Giving in, she opens the door further and shuts it again once he's inside. 

   She hates that she feels so guilty over this. Guilty that she kept things quiet. 

" Listen Todd- I uh. I just didn't want you to hate me or something. I know I'm not the best choice and all so- "

   It happens far too fast for her to register, but it only takes her a moment to ease into it, taking his hands in her own and loosely interwining them. Her nerves were far too shot to really know how to fully process this other than it was going to be okay. That this wasn't all some dumb joke, and for that she's relieved honestly.

   There's another moment of silence as she pulls away after a bit, only for her to bury her face against his chest and let out a muffled whine. 

" I'm sorry for keeping it from you .. "

[nebula-drcams]

" So anyway this means I should give Todd as much affection and care as possible right? Just to prove the test wrong? "

   Ma'am.

   She can defend the others all she wants, but comments like these slam directly into her insecurity and make her uncertain about her own beliefs. What if they didn't actually like her, like at all. Tolerating for the sake of being treated better than whoever was supposed to watch over the group. She didn't ask much about Mystique or Magneto, but it's probably for the best she doesn't from the looks of how things were around here. 

   Wait, don't focus on that.

" That's not .. "

   She wants to say that's not true, but there's a sharp pain in her chest, what if she's wrong? That just means she can't be comfortable. That she'll have to hide all the undesirable bits of herself, hold out for as long as she can and be prepared for the worst when it comes.

@plasticsouled asked: " i stayed. " // Todd for Nimue hehehehe

the receiver has told the sender that they haven't slept for several days due to intense nightmares, and asks them to stay the night so that they might be able to sleep. send in " i stayed. " for the receiver to waken the next morning and find the sender to still be sitting by their bedside, having stayed the whole night to ensure they slept. || Currently Accepting

   She knew it was bound to happen the moment Todd had caught her awake at a rather unreasonable time, though she'd like to ask what he was doing up at that hour too but it didn't much occur to her since it had been a few days since she slept. Exhaustion was most likely far too evident, and she couldn't just claim she was tired from trying to get things fixed up for them.

   Not with how tired she was considering she had bumped into him in the process of it all, not even realizing he was there despite there being enough light to show otherwise. That being said, despite claiming she was fine and that she would go to sleep after this, it was clearly a lie, and she should've known word would spread around the Brotherhood house pretty quickly. She can't even fault Todd for telling the others either. 

   The next few days felt .. odd to her, odd in a way that she couldn't quite process why they were trying to help her with methods to sleep. Granted, she appreciated it, but it just seemed so foreign to her. It didn't help that every method they tried to suggest, she had already done on her own, and sooner or later she had to share what was going on. 

   The previous night she had managed to get Todd's attention, nervousin general to even explain why she struggled to sleep, she's pretty sure it'd all just get brushed off. It's always Todd she seems to go to, to confide in first, but can she be blamed for that? He's the first one to create some sort of bond with her. 

   Most would probably find it strange, the nightmare of hers. One where the world gradually crumbles and the people vanish around her, leaving her alone, and it's gotten worse since she's learned she's a mutant. A voice often echos, telling her that only she will be to blame for this outcome. It's a bit .. surreal for her, and she's always dreaded being alone which makes it even worse. 

   Despite his offer to stay beside her, she doubts that he'll stay the whole night. She wouldn't be mad if he left once she fell asleep either. Even with him there, she didn't really want to sleep, what if she ends up having it again and .. Well, not much of a what if if she knows the outcome. Hesitating for a moment, she pulls him into a hug and whispers a thanks before letting him go.

   Not much of a choice at this point, other than to fall asleep expecting a nightmare that seemed to never come. 

   When was the last peaceful sleep she got? Usually, her body just shuts down and she's stuck in that nightmare for what seems like forever, but instead there's nothing, not that she's complaining of course. It's just .. odd. 

   Still half awake, she slowly turns her head in the direction where Todd was last night, only to abruptly sit up out of surprise. She's about to ask if he stayed the whole night when he confirms it himself, well, sort of. There's a slow process as she tries to piece things together, was .. someone just being there the solution to stop the nightmares? She'll figure that out more later.

   Grabbing his wrist, she pulls him forward, even if it knocks her back onto the bed, but she doesn't exactly care considering she's latched onto him in a hug. Grateful for him just being there, even though he didn't have to. This only tells her that she made the right choice in trusting him, though there's a small hint of something else starting to grow as well but she hasn't quite pieced that one together yet.

" Thank you, Todd. I owe you one .. "

   Says the girl who keeps doing anything and everything she can for him and the rest of the Brotherhood ..

" Todd. "

   There's a low grumble at the question as she practically snaps out his name in response. Is it that hard to believe that she decided to be his friend? Okay, so she gets how the Brotherhood gives him a hard time, they're like siblings in some weird way, even if she does want to smack Pietro upside the head, but this feels different, like a mocking jab in a more harmful manner made in Todd's expense, which she doesn't like.

" I think he's a little strange, sure. Has a smell to him that most people wouldn't be to fond of. But I'm not nice to him out of pity, I don't fake nice, don't know how to lie to save my life either. If I don't like someone, they'd know in a heartbeat. He's the first person in this damn country that showed me some form of kindness that wasn't obligated to. There's certainly nothing he could use me for like others could, and if he does, I'll worry about it then. I like his company. And if that's a problem for you then maybe you need to evaluate yourself. "

Some extra notes regarding Nimue's X-Men evo verse ;;

Daisuke { her half brother }, has also technically moved to Bayville New York with her, but they live in separate apartments. Mostly because while Nimue does get along with her brother, she personally doesn't want him doing the whole ' protective ' thing with her. { IE. judging anyone she brings over to visit or whoever she goes to visit/spends time around }

Since they were idols in Japan, upon moving to America her and her brother are attempting to re-establish themselves but are currently stuck doing music covers to be uploaded, some solo, some duo. Mostly because she's not sure if she actually wants to pursue an entire musical career or just do it as a side thing at the moment. Still takes the name Kalypso and goes under a different appearance for this stuff.

For right now, her work is hacking and programming, though she keeps the hacking bit on the down low for obvious reasons { even if it is to improve security for some people } and she'll end up more well known for her programming.

Still doesn't have a very good relationship w/ her father or sister to the point she earned her own money during her work while she was still in school just so she could leave, while she was on the fence for awhile about leaving Japan, she made a final choice when her mother died for the mere sake of not wanting to be around her father. Ever. Plus her sister always seemed to know where to find her, so the further away the better.

[nebula-drcams]

Cracks knuckles. Time to come in here and elaborate on the mutant skills Nimue has.

So, to make this clear, she runs on the superstition that Black Cats are bad luck, but instead of just bad luck, she'll be able to balance luck. And it won't only just be in her favor.

The idea for Nimue is that she can influence both good and bad luck, for example; is she gives someone bad luck, the good luck bounces either to her or someone else around her { though if not always when she can, it'll get redirected to who needs it most before she takes the good luck for herself }. If she gives someone good luck, or even herself, the bad luck often bounces back onto her. While she will be able to direct it, she won't unless it's like say during a fight with an enemy. She absolutely would use her luck to help people outside of a fight so taking the bad luck is fine with her.

This comes with more catlike traits to fit that ' Black Cat ' role, there's just no physical changes like say a tail or ears or even claws. However, the traits she'd have are;

Enhanced senses, yknow, scent and hearing

Night vision, cats are nocturnal creatures after all

Good reflexes and flexibility, also able to move really quietly hence why if she'll be useful for anything, it'd all be stealth related

Will gravitate a LOT towards warmth or heat sources.

She can move quickly { not like, in a speedy way, but y'all know how quick cats can be when they want to. Also very good balance is something she has }

While this is due more to smaller stature, she's able to get into small spaces { just not to the point she'd have to become liquid, she cannot do that i'm sorry JDFHFDGH }

Can move silently which unintentionally catches those she's standing behind off guard. She doesn't often realize it, but she absolutely uses that to her advantage to sneak up on others when needed.

Can jump pretty high but it often ends up with her getting stuck in high locations and unable to get down, she's working on that one.

Also one(1) really unimportant one, she MIGHT purr but she hasn't yet and it might not happen for awhile. Who knows.
