#(( FIRST THREAD BABY LET'S GOOOOOOO

[butane-muses]

NEWHIRE || closed, with @redgentleengie.

"JUST MAKING sure to remind you, Ma'am," a diligent voice spoke. "The escort's on its way to your office, as we speak– just as ordered, one SBR-001 and one registered human... estimated time of arrival is one-point-five minutes."

"Copy that—" a more commanding one called. "Already have my eyes on them, so I'll be taking it from here. Starting from their arrival, I expect consistent status reports throughout the hour. Are we all clear?"

Of course, a chorus soon erupted from the robotic VA-SER units before her: "We follow, Miss Korsica!"

As the burst of enthusiasm filled the air, the woman in question smirked with approval. "Just what I like to hear. Thanks for your hard work, everyone– let's keep this up."

Indeed, it was about time things got rolling. On a nearby hard-light surveillance screen, the pair of blips marking the escort were quickly making their ascent towards the office. With a sharp breath, she rose from her seat behind a trio of monitors, taking a warm mug of decaf coffee in one hand, and a page-filled clipboard in the other.

After a quick sip, and an equally quick skim of the documents' details, she slipped the mug back onto its coaster. She soon straightened herself, and got moving; her white leather boots calmly clattered against the stairs leading down to the center of the dome-shaped room, as she pulled off some small shoulder stretches on the way there.

She briefly loosened her posture, and exhaled... Back straight. Neck adjusted. Legs and feet standing shoulder width.

...only for nothing but silence to follow for the next minute. Odd. Another glance at one of the overhead displays informed her the marker-blips were indeed at the front of the office door, and– and staying still? "Ehm... someone tell me, what's keeping them?"

"Ah, uh... sorry, Ma'am, it's— ah, it's gotta be here—" Another VA-SER unit stammered a little, hurriedly pressing a few buttons on their assigned dashboard. Soon, a new display blinked to life in Korsica's full view, indeed showing the front door to the office...

"–it's the sign, Ma'am." The camera feed tilted back up to highlight the culprit. A pair of notice boards loomed over the entryway, shining with a blazing neon-pink background to yellow lettering: 'DO NOT DISTURB! Knock on my door and you're getting transferred!' 'Head of Security: Korsica' The woman felt her expression fall a little flat, as her free hand flew over to the bridge of her nose in frustration. Of course it still had to be there, on the one day where she— ah, well. "Alright, okay. Go ahead and get that door open...!"

...Regardless of that, she was quick to resume her previous posture upon hearing the familiar hiss and slide of the mechanical doors. The arrivals were just as she expected– an SBR unit, and for the first time in ages, the latest human to join the company. Upon thanking the former for their diligence, and dismissing them... finally, there came the time for pleasantries.

"So... 'Jonathan Ironwright,' I take it? Congratulations on passing the application process, and welcome to Vandelay Technologies— or, in the least, its very own Security Division," she grinned, raising a hand to shake in greetings.

"I'm Korsica, Head of Security... and unless my reading skills have deceived me for the past few weeks now, sifting through all those documents," she chuckled dryly, tapping a knuckle to the clipboard as if to chastise it, "you are our new Personnel Technician."

happy anniversary!

warning: this post is LONG AF! next year i am so not gonna do this - will make a graphic or something instead - because i legit typed for hours. don’t feel obligated to read the whole thing - feel free to scroll down to the sections where you are mentioned. 

holy ravioli, i can’t believe legacy is turning one! the last year was chaotic for me real life wise and legacy provided a great place to escape and enjoy writing with my friends. i chatted with so many of you wonderful people and have no doubt i’ll be missing some on this list. if i happen to skip you by accident, just know i love you anyway.

both of my muses went through a lot. yonghwa i’ve had since the very beginning and his journey did turn out differently than i expected. i created him to be perfect on the outside, slowly rotting on the inside. he has a lot of insecurities that he refuse to acknowledge and a crippling greed for money...to the point i legit created a list of free stuff available at legacy and still track his earning. he ended up not deteriorating horribly as i expected due to having an overwhelmingly strong support system. dang it, y’all, i wanted to fuck up my character. 

as for daehyung, he’s proven to be the ticking time bomb comedic relief asshole that everyone can’t help but respect for not having his ass kicked out of the company already love - he’ll continue to be a pest and harass people that he find fancy in. career wise, i am surprised he is doing so well despite hating the world and most of the people in it. guess deep down inside he actually cares about acting and finds joy in it. one day, hopefully, he’ll be singing his own ost. 

i would like to thank our cute sara, who played yonghwa’s brother @lgcyoon​ and currently plays @lgcseojin and @lgchana​~ sara was one of the first people i plotted with at legacy and i really enjoyed the friendship between seojin & yonghwa. seojin was an adorable tsundere pupper and yonghwa is over-affectionate and secretly appreciated. they had their ups and downs and in season 2 of the future dreams, that really came out. i am glad they were able to work through their issues and i think that is why their friendship feels so believable to him. seojin also had a part in daehyung’s life...can we get that communal shower yet, buddy? yoon, though you are too busy to play him now, will always be yonghwa’s doting older brother. i don’t think i’ll put up that wanted connection again because yoon is so perfect and yonghwa already latched onto him with both legs and arms. 

second up, i gotta thank my girl gabby for always being there. @lgcparkdohyun and yonghwa’s brotherly bond is incredibly strong and in fact, one of my best plots to date. we’ve essentially plotted them out from diaper days and they are as close as two guys could be without screwing each other, really. we’ve also been here since the beginning together and high fives man, our boys technically both made it. 

@lgcxcharlie is yonghwa’s supportive girlfriend and she is so adorable. a much needed ray of light in his life. funny thing is that they met a long time ago, via bread. did charlie know that she’ll end up getting a boyfriend out of her kind bread donation? see, this is what happens when you feed a hungry cat - he’ll keep following you for more. now you are just going to have to keep him~

for my beloved rose who plays @lgcjude, @lgcjina and @lgcwon, i love youuu. with them on tour together and sharing a room, i hope jude is not annoyed yet by the fact yonghwa keeps on climbing into his bed. as for jina - hello, fellow season one winner, high fives. they might have to keep some distance due to opposite gender, but at least they’ll always have that respect for each other. now won, sorry, the devil is never letting you gooooooo. he’ll continue to harass you for years to come. 

@lgcseolmi​ + @lgcichika​ & @lgckit​ - my typo queen nam~ we haven’t known each other for very long but damn did you rise quickly on my favoritism list. i love you lots, even though you are a dork who can’t spell anything right! :3c we’ve threaded already with the girls and now i am waiting for the new baby boy!

my al is the best person for cat gifs ever. every so often, i’d get a cute gif and feel my happiness grow. in fact, like we talked before, you send me so many cat pics that i believe you are a cat and will treat you like one. pet pet pet pet! @lgcinsoo​ and @lgcyue​ are both great babies, but you know i have bias towards our insoo. he is such a kind, loving puppy and both of my characters appreciate him. one more obviously than the other. 

em, how the hell do you post so fast even though you got three characters? also, how on the earth have we managed to talk so long without doing a single thread together? oh wait, shoot, it is me isn’t it? @lgcaaron​ is still waiting on his starter and my ass typed this long af thank you note instead of that hohoho-

i still have so many boys i want to interact with for the project origin group but those i’ve already had a chance to thread with, i’ve all loved. our @lgcxpv​ is a wild child but so precious in yonghwa’s eyes. we’ll always have their shower scene to reflect back on. also, your precious max is one of dae’s only semi-acknowledged friends. our @lgcxhaneul​ is the sweet mandu that will keep on getting squished by his loving hyung. we love @lgcseul​ who deserves all the hugs and @lgcminjun​, who will definitely become one of yonghwa’s favorites. @lgcjiho​ & @lgcharu​ are both soft cute boys that i am still planning on hitting up more.

though we’ve only had one thread, i strangely really enjoyed the interaction between yonghwa and @lgceunho​. i feel like they still have more to explore and hopefully will find themselves together in a future event!

also jia, we’ve been around since the very beginning too. i miss writing together. @lgchyunjin​ should come and love on yonghwa more. ; v ; we are the early day boys ya knowwwww. i enjoyed chatting with you on twitter, can always count on you to be around liking people’s posts to show support. 

lately, i’ve also gotten to plot with @lgcsubin​, who is a sensitive boy with depth. i love his character and i hope to write more with you, nic! also, thanks for being around and asking what’s wrong whenever people are upset. i think it is so precious.

stef, i am so glad you joined legacy and see, it is fun, right? daehyung will continue to bully @lgcxjunghwan​ but he does it in an affectionate way, alright? love to lulu ( @lgcminseok​) & simone (@lgctee​) for always being there to chat about stuff~

jen, thanks for teaching me how to gif. i’ve enjoyed our chats via discord and we should do it again sometimes KEKEKEKEKE @lgcxjinah​ and @lgcxjongsuk​ both have their places on my character’s heart - i love them both!

here, i just want to acknowledge some of the people that dropped but still had a huge impact on yonghwa’s life. i don’t know how many of y’all will remember them, but back in the day, yonghwa had a best friend called kiyoung and a crush on yujin. when those two dropped at the same time, oh, that was a huge blow. thank them both for being a part of his life. also, jane was a heavy loss for me because i adore her quirkiness. bobby come back, you can blame it all on me. 

lastly, i want to thank all of the mods for their hard working maintaining the rp! thanks so much, legacy wouldn’t be fun without you! 

for the head admins, i have a few extra blurbs because we’ve been together for a whole year. for our admin l, you’ve worked hard. it is not easy to run events and i feel like i’ve definitely pushed you with some difficult questions before. i am glad we are friends and get to chat often about random tidbits. i am also happy you are taking time for yourself and taking care of real life concerns. your wellness is always the priority! character wise, i have a feeling @lgcmiso​ and daehyung will actually get along well~ 

marie because i can’t even remember what is your official admin letter OTL i just remember you as the mother of merlin and writer of @lgcxking​. it is not like i don’t like jin, but that king is the one i had the most threads with. i really love yonghwa and king interaction because in a place where everyone must be civil and friendly, their hate for each other is so damn refreshing. i still think five years from now on they’ll be friends, but not before trying to claw out each other’s eyeballs first over their smutty fanfics. sorry for keep harassing hyuncheol and calling him papi, please continue to feed me merlin content. he is the best boy. 

FINALLY admin g our grace you are so awesome. i can always count on you to hear me bitch for the two minutes before my angy fade and for last minute cramming. on the week before date lottery is due and i am wailing pathetically for my points, grace is always here to pull through! @lgchanbyul​ and yonghwa as on screen couple is actually pretty adorbs. also @lgcjaesun​, thanks for dealing with daehyung as a dorm mate. the devil is gone now but his influence will always be there

i have so many more people i want to mention but only so much time. just know i appreciate everyone. thanks for a great year, hopefully there’ll be many more!

HIIII

Since I am in the same headspace, let’s continue with wasuremono!!! Hopefully this time I won’t have to fight you….

KAI MENTION!!!! Looooool I mean same, I would have also gone home with him

Even from here, he could tell she was damaged, and the damaged ones were the wildest fucks. DAMN, GURL!!!!!!!

I mean, first goddamn and now tattoos on the forearms, if I had not witnessed this happening a million times before I would not believe it.

Their whole dialogue is chef's kiss. Wow

I love this mix of confidence and doubt in him, he has lots of experience and still he has never been with a woman like her. Nice

OMG SHES AMAZING if i don’t cum you don’t either, let’s gooooooo

and while he was used to disappointing the world, his reputation as a sex god had never been in jeopardy. He’d see to that.  LOOOL, my man would never disappoint. But very interesting all that we know about him so far

Oh Changkyun, baby, how the turntables

DID SHE TAKE A PICTURE???

|what is going on??? I did not see this story going this way!!!! It gave me whiplash!

MIN????? OMG WHAT’S GOING ON???

WAIT HER SISTER???????

OMG IS DENARII HER SISTER????? AM I CRAZY????

God if I had KNOWN this was like this I would have made you a video reaction instead!!!!

(Fuck starship)

HOLY FUUUUCK  SHE IS!!!! NOOOOO I WAS DEFINITELY NOT EXPECTING THIS YOU MAD GENIUS, YOU POET, YOU SCRIBE!!!!!

Now I am gonna politely screech and writhe as an encouragement for you to write the next part before I die of withdrawal.

Have I told you that I love you?

Rod Stewart plays in the distance

*wonders if you still want to fight me...*

Girl, you know what a helpless ho I am for Kai. Never gonna hide that shit.

Bit of a change of pace/characterization/mood/intensity in this one. Boy, did I have fun writing this. It was a wild departure from my usual style in sooooooooooooooo many ways.

I WILL NEVER FORGIVE THE MONSTAS FOR OPERATING ON MY SAME BRAIN WAVELENGTH. I GET NO PEACE.

Yes! I wanted this OC to be someone Kyun could never anticipate. It was sorely needed for his character, ironically in the same way it was for Hyungwon/Denarii, though their connection is very different.

If you ever reread, you will see how some things were telegraphed before the twist unfolds, but, yeah, she def took a picture. <.<

The way your ask switches punctuation and caps at the mid-way point, I DIE.

I wanted the reveal to be as much of a shock for the reader as Changkyun, so I'm glad you felt the 1-2 punch as viscerally as I was looking for.

Okay, so maybe I enjoy an open-ended story because my mind loves wandering to another fic, and maybe this is the fic it wandered to because as much as I love open-ended stuff, I love a resolution more. :D

I PROMISE that the next segment is dropping this year, and hopefully in the very near future. I had some hurdles to conquer in order to resolve the narrative threads I have dangling, but I think I've resolved them, so we will have resolution at long last!

Thank you for letting me entertain you. I love Neo Seoul very much, so seeing someone enjoy it the way I do makes my heart pitter-patter. My vision of it is sickeningly detailed... Like, I could probably draw a map if I had any artistic talent whatsover. Guess I'll settle for painting with words instead. Heh.
