Cookie's Writing Challenge Day One: Sweets

Prompt of the day: Sweets

Pairing: Riddle Rosehearts x Elyssabeth Alcyone (OC)

Genre: Fluff

Summary: Riddle tries to make a strawberry cheesecake for the prefect after learning that it's her favorite.

Warning: Might be a little OOC; the writer's craving fluff again. Also a bit rusty in writing so maybe a few grammatical errors here and there. I got carried away so it's kinda lengthy ^^;

Cookie's Writing Challenge Prompts

Day Two: Sunflowers >

"Nothing compares with a sweet treat after studying..." Elyssabeth sighed in delight as she savored the sweetness of the strawberry tart.

It was an ordinary day, and as usual, the Ramshackle Dorm prefect spent her afternoon in Heartslabyul's rose garden studying with its housewarden.

She wouldn't admit it loudly, but this is her favorite part of the day. There is nothing else but her, him, the garden, and sweets.

"I'm delighted to see you enjoying yourself, Prefect... Hm?"

"What's wrong?" Elyssabeth eyed Riddle curiously.

"Oh. Nothing. It's just–" Riddle looked down at the plate of strawberry tart in front of him. "the strawberry tart tastes a little different than usual."

Elyssabeth tilted her head. "Different...? Oh! You must've gotten the tart I made."

"You made this?" Riddle blinked in surprise.

"Yes. Does it taste bad...?"

"No, no! It's delicious–!" The redhead cleared his throat to compose himself. "I was simply caught off-guard because it tastes a little different from Trey's."

"I see..." Elyssabeth let out the breath she was unconsciously holding and beamed at him. "I'm glad you liked it."

"...I never knew you could bake," Riddle says as he cuts a piece of his tart.

"I'm not surprised," Elyssabeth hums. "Most people have the same reaction as yours when I say I like and bake sweets. They say I don't look like someone who likes sweet things."

"They're quite wrong with that assumption."

"Oh my, how perceptive of you, Mr. Housewarden. Have I gotten your attention so much that you notice even the smallest details about me?" The girl chuckled when her teasing made Riddle's cheeks red.

"Who wouldn't notice your fondness for sweet food when they see how many plates of pastries you can gobble up in one sitting?!" Riddle huffs.

"Aww, and here I thought I finally managed to steal your heart," Elyssabeth sighs dramatically. She let out another chuckle when the redhead glared at her.

"Changing the subject, how did you learn how to make sweets?" Riddle took a sip from his teacup to hide his still-red cheeks.

"My mother is a pastry chef and owns a café specializing in desserts. We used to make my favorite strawberry cheesecake together when I was a kid, and then it progressed to me learning different recipes from her and two of my uncles. The rest is history."

Riddle felt a pang of sadness in his chest when he noticed a gleam of loneliness and homesickness in Elyssabeth's eyes.

She likes to tease him and is constantly smiling whenever she's with the friends she made in NRC, so it seems like she is doing alright, but this moment of vulnerability made him wonder if all of that was just an act to get herself through the day.

"...You must miss your family, huh?"

"Pardon?"

"You're suddenly thrown into a different world and separated from your family with no sure chance of returning, so it's understandable for you to feel homesick. I admit I don't have a close relationship with my parents unlike other students, so I cannot say I can relate to what you're experiencing."

Riddle put his teacup down to its saucer. There was a thick silence between them for a moment, and only then did he realize that he had spoken his thoughts out loud.

"Forgive me, I've spoken out of line."

Elyssabeth raised her hand. "Don't apologize. You... have a point. I cannot deny that I am homesick. However..." she smiled at him tenderly. "Nothing will come out of me moping in a corner. If I want to get back home, I need to find a way, no matter how impossible it may seem. I appreciate your concern, though."

"...If you say so."

A grin made its way to her face once again.

"Alright, that's enough talking about heavy topics. As much as I'd like to extend our time together, I must excuse myself since I need to check on Grim to see if he's doing his homework or not."

Riddle chuckled. "It must be hard looking after a troublemaker like him. If you need some help with disciplining him, just say the word."

"He's a headache, sure, but he's not that bad. He has a way to make things brighter in Ramshackle. Anyways, I must thank you for the lovely time I had, Mr. Housewarden. Until next time."

"Likewise."

After seeing her out, Riddle went back to the conversation they had earlier.

"...A strawberry cheesecake, huh?"

.

.

.

"Trey, are you in here?"

"...Riddle? Do you need something?"

Another ordinary day. As usual, Trey Clover was working in the kitchen when Riddle peeked from the kitchen door.

"Not exactly. I was just wondering if we have the ingredients to make a strawberry cheesecake."

"Strawberry cheesecake? We do, although not much. If you want strawberry cheesecakes for the next Unbirthday party, then we need to stock on–"

"No, no, that's not what I meant."

Trey blinked when Riddle cut him off.

"You don't need to make strawberry cheesecakes for the Unbirthday party. I'm just... in the mood for one right now. And I was hoping you could help me make one."

The vice-housewarden raised an eyebrow at his friend's strange behavior before an idea came to his mind that made him smile.

"Ah, I see. So you finally knew what the prefect's favorite food was."

His smile became a teasing grin when Riddle flinched at what he said. Bingo.

"It's to console a homesick friend."

"Right. Of course."

He laughed when the redhead frowned at him.

"It's a nice idea to make her favorite food," Trey says as he puts the ingredients and utensils on the kitchen counter.

"...You think so?" Riddle looked at the third year with uncharacteristic nervousness in his eyes.

"Mmhm. And I'm sure she'll appreciate it." Trey gave his housewarden an assuring smile.

"So, shall we begin making a strawberry cheesecake?"

.

.

.

"Finished at last!"

Riddle smiled as he watched Elyssabeth stretch her arms upward after finishing the last of her assignments. He put two plates in front of them.

"Good job. Take a break."

"Thank you."

The girl paused when she saw what was on her plate.

"This is..."

"It's a strawberry cheesecake. It's been weighing on my mind since our last conversation. You've always been going out of your way to help Heartslabyul, and I realized that I've never properly given my thanks to you."

Riddle took a deep breath before continuing.

"I know it's not the same as the way your mother made it for you, and I know it's not enough to quell your homesickness, but I hope you know that your friends are here for you. We're here for you. And you can talk to us anytime you want."

"...Riddle."

He winced when he heard her say his name.

"That's– that's the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me. And..."

Elyssabeth held her fork and took a piece of the cheesecake and smiled.

"The cheesecake's delicious. Thank you."

Riddle smiled back at her after a few moments.

He wouldn't admit it, but she may have succeeded a bit in stealing his heart.

PICTURED: THE KIDS IMITATING THEIR TINY DAD 😌

[elysiumrp]

Congratulations BRITT! You have been accepted as Tereza Castelo. Please go through the checklist and send in your account within 24 hours. If you need more time, make sure you send a message to the main.

Now I hate to be the person that picks favorites, but I have to admit that Tereza was one of my favorite new characters out of this huge batch that we wrote. She was the first one I wrote actually, and I’m not sure that any of the other ones truly lived up to the ideas and inspiration I had when writing her bio. To receive an application so early on for Tereza of all people made my day, and to be able to accept her is even better. I can’t wait to see how Tereza reacts to so many supernaturals that she’s never met coming back into the city, and I also am excited to see how the Resistance and her involvement in it goes down. There is so much that could happen to Tereza and so many different ways that she could rise or fall. I’m sure she’s in for quite the adventure, and I look forward to seeing it unfold. Welcome to Elysium!!

OOC INFO

Name: Britt Age: 19 Timezone: CST Preferred Pronouns: She/Her  Previous RP Experience: [RFP] Activity Level: 8/10. I only have one class a day for summer courses and other than that I’m free. Anything Else: N/A

IC INFO

Character Name: Tereza Castelo Why did you choose this character:

I honestly love everything about the character. From her fc to the information you wrote about her. Tereza has gone through so much heartache. From what I gathered she did not grow up in a loving household because who would marry their daughter off so young? She also had to leave her child with a husband she never wanted to marry. Imagine what she must have gone through, unable to see her son despite being alive and him being so close. There is honestly just so much I can get into with self paras or things I could push into threads. After living 700 years, she must have a ton of stories like men she fell in love with, people she’s saved, forming close friendships, being hunted when people found out she was a vamp, etc. And despite everything, she stays so kind. Tereza appreciates life and companionship. I don’t know how anyone can’t love this girl.

Describe your plan for them:

I definitely want to see her take action. I want her to help the Resistance flourish and grow through the rp. I see her as such an important piece of the puzzle. Another thing I want to see is her form connections with not just the ones I see on her bio, but ones out of it as well. Tereza is a kind person, but strong and badass. There are so many things I can see come out of that, because I’m sure people will either be threatened or end up liking her. Tereza is like an onion. She has so many layers and I want to dive into all of them through my writing. I hope if I’m accepted, I can truly show you how much I love this character and how much I want to pay attention to every aspect of her.

Describe your character’s feelings and reactions to the initial reveal of the supernatural world:

Well, before Tereza was changed by a Vampire, she did not know of supernaturals. She lived in naivety due to her parents because in their eyes they saw her as a weak child. It was rare for her to venture too far out of her manor, and the servants who walked around her home were mostly her friends. The moment she found out was when a Vampire saved her after she tried to kill herself. Of course when she woke up after being turned, fear and shock was the first thing she felt. Her senses were stronger than ever and she definitely did not feel human… She felt stronger and more herself than she ever has. As a human she was so weak and followed everyone’s commands. That’s all she did her entire human life, but now she was free. Becoming a vampire was probably one of the best things that could happen to her. It literally saved her life.

Describe your character’s feelings and reactions to the current state of the world, and how it impacts them as an individual:

Tereza has always hated the idea of species hating one another. Becoming a Supernatural to her was one of the best things, and she assumed everyone felt that way. Not until she realized that different species hated or feared each other did she know how divided the world truly was. It hurt her that people could hate another because of who they were. Of course this revelation only made her stronger and more passionate about joining the Resistance. Maybe one day everyone can live in peace, but until then, she would fight for it until a stake was driven right through her heart.

Para Sample:

(suicide tw) 

Tereza could no longer handle the pain within her heart. She could no longer hide the subtle tremble of hands while she brushed her hair, or the sleepless night which left bags beneath her eyes, or never being able to decide anything for herself or her child. The husband which she was forced to marry was not a loving one. He hurt her and used her, treating her as if she were only a pet. What love she did receive was from her son, but even that was very rarely. She use to believe that it was her, that she was the reason for never having any friends or a family to care for her. She believed that something was wrong with her, when really, it was the life she had been given. If only she could have been born to another family would she have been happy.

So with trembling legs, her back hit the wall and she slid down as the heat intensified. Smoke filled her lungs with each inhale and she welcomed death like an old friend- until the image of her son flashed through her vision. The beautiful little boy whom she loved with all her heart. The little boy who would have to grow up without a mother and possibly live the same life as she did. A surge of energy rushed through her and she screamed. Screamed until all she could see was a grey haze of toxic smoke, and the dangerous flickering of fire. Tears ran down her cheeks when she realized it was too late for her. What came after death? Would it really be better than living on the beautiful Earth? The world begin to fade just as a powerful figure took her into their arms and the cool outside surrounded her, but it was far too late. Her heart began to slow just as something sharp bit into the side of her neck.

The next thing she remembered was waking up on a soft bed. Feeling extraordinarily renewed as if she had been reborn. When she sat up, her eyes adjusted to the dark as if it were still daylight. Then a hungry thirst caused her to gasp, holding a small hand to her throat when a slightly familiar male walked in with bags filled with a red liquid that smelled oh so wonderful. “Hola.” He spoke, a kind smile on his lips as he continued to walk closer. Tereza could only look at the bags though, and he noticed. Without anymore time, he placed them on the nightstand beside the bed and walked back out. In a flash, the girl has sunk her fangs into the thin material, letting out a feral growl that she would have noticed if she wasn’t so entranced on the delicious red liquid. Once she had finished, she sat back down in a confused haze, not realizing how much her life was about to change.

Any questions/concerns/things you’d like to change: (siblings to add, pronouns, sexuality you’d like to specify, personality, face claim, history, etc., etc.)

N/A. I love everything.

     NOT TO BE THAT GUY BUT...

AKU: Mentions Dazai in a semi-positive/positive way CLOWNS: Wow Aku really said Dazai rights Dazai haters dni

     Again, I’m not trying to be rude or mean, but the fact that some people are almost... shoving away Aku’s abuse just because he talks highly of Dazai doesn’t sit right with me. Like... just because an abuse victim praises their abuser or doesn’t explicitly say their abuser has abused them doesn’t mean that the abuse didn’t happen or that the person who was abused is ok.

     It’s just mind-boggling to me how people are willing to ignore Dazai’s treatment of Aku just because Aku mentions how no one could replace Dazai. Of course Aku would say that; he’s been conditioned to view Dazai as #1.

     TL;DR: Just because Aku says “Dazai rights” doesn’t mean Dazai’s actions are forgiven or that he has rights.

SO WAS NO ONE GOING TO TELL ME THAT JEREMY JORDAN WAS LIGHT IN THE DEATH NOTE MUSICAL???

[multi-mused-menagerie]

UNPOPULAR OPINION BUT...

BROKE: Thinking that Chuuya is just some dumbass aggressive meathead. WOKE: Realizing that Chuuya is actually incredibly smart and that the only reason people treat him like he’s dumb is because he’s constantly being compared to literal fucking geniuses (looking at you Mr. Rat and Mr. Bandaid). Like, did you all forget who in Dead Apple figured out what exactly was Dazai’s plan to save the city without having barely any information? That’s right: Chuuya, aka the one person who is able able to keep up with and guess Dazai’s plans even if they involve him busting up a dragon. Maybe if people stopped comparing him to Dazai for just one (1) second, they’d see that he’s emotionally intelligent and a good leader who only gets upset when people threaten the Port Mafia (his family) or bring up Dazai (the person who essentially forced Chuuya into the Port Mafia after destroying his first family, the Sheep, and then betrayed his second family to go off and do whatever, something Chuuya never had the chance to do so yeah, of course he’d be bitter). I’m not saying Chuuya has no flaws - he’s much too loyal, takes on too much shit without asking for help, and is a bit of a drinker - but to generalize his entire characterization based off of interactions he has with Dazai and compare them is just... not that lush, fam. Don’t compare a regular human being to a genius and then act surprised when one is more stereotypically intelligent than the other. I don’t see y’all comparing SKK’s social skills or emotional intelligence and calling Dazai a dumbass fake lizard so don’t disrespect the literal god in the show and do it to Chuuya.

But that’s just my opinion, oomfs 🥰💞✨! Anyways, stan Nakahara Chuuya for clear skin and just because he’s a god!
