During an interview, the manor guests suddenly get a question about you. (Part 2)

hello hello! here is part 2 as promised. there are less characters than I hoped to write, but in exchange each blurb is a little longer than pt.1 !

part 1 can be found here

🦌🪼🤡🦎🪞🤕🕯️🎭

Q. Could you describe your relationship with (Y/N)?

🦌 Bane rubs his chin, tracing his memory. "Hm... Indeed, I'm familiar with that name. I'd suppose that's someone I knew when I worked for the DeRosses." He crosses his arms with a low, contemplative grunt, as if struggling to remember anything else. "I'd need a photograph." I happen to have a couple on hand, and he takes them gently. A long period of silence follows. After leafing through the photos for some time, he says: "I remember. They were always talking about marriage." With you? "Mm. I was never interested, but I never said no. Eventually I made them a ring from a scrap of iron. I hoped they'd stop visiting me if I satisfied them... It's too dangerous to come to the forest everyday." Then he reaches into his pocket, pulling out a ring of his own. "In exchange, they gave one back." He's been cherishing it all this time, even when he'd forgotten its origin.

🪼 Ivy - "I'm no stranger to feeling like I'm missing my other half, you know. That sense of loss is one of the only constants I have left. (Y/N) fills my emptiness, and without them it increases twofold." I open my mouth to ask, Do you think you could be soulmates? but then my eyes dart to the Yithian and I realize my mistake. Sorry, was that insensitive? Ivy is not amused with my implication that she might be interested in claiming (Y/N)'s soul. "My dear interviewer, I am a scholar, not a monster. Whatever you're insinuating, you're gravely mistaken."

🤡 Joker's face suddenly hardens, in spite of the fragile, twiddling-thumbs demeanor he'd shown me thus far. His hands ball into shaking fists and his lips purse, as if he's psyching himself up for a fight. Are you okay? I ask, preemptively guarding myself with my clipboard. Tears brim his eyes and the strength falls from his shoulders. He mutters out, "All I wanted was to be their sword and shield, their angel of light, and they left me out of my mind. Hahaha... Wanna know the biggest joke of all? I'd let them drive me crazy all over again."

🦎 Luchino's mouth stretches into a lazy grin. "That one's a cutie, eh? Had the pleasure of meeting them yet?" I shake my head, reminding him that (Y/N) is the focus of my current investigation. I guess his laidback attitude fooled me into saying too much. He promptly straightens his back, the smile fading. "Yeah... Yeah, from one researcher to another, I get the intrigue," he says. "But I can't say I fancy another guy using my love as a test subject."

🪞 Mary - "Do you take pleasure in nosing around a lady's private affairs? I'd expect more tact, even for an interviewer." The chill in her tone startles me. I sputter out something in my defense, but Mary huffs and waves me into silence. "(Y/N) is enjoying the privilege of being my right-hand. They're my favorite one so far, too. I dismissed the others without a second thought."

�� Naib - "On good terms." Wringing out any insightful answers from this man is tougher than I thought. In hopes of inspiring more of a reaction, I tell a small lie: When I interviewed (Y/N), they described a rather colorful affection for you... Almost immediately, Naib breaks eye contact and crosses his arms. But I still only get a guttural "Hm." in response. Can you confirm if this is true? I press. His answer is, once again, a curt "Hm." (Slightly more affirmative, I would say).

🕯️ Philippe - "My work has always stood as a testament to my love," he caresses the wax figure grafted onto his shoulder, "but shielding someone in life is a far greater challenge than honoring my losses. My worries are endless." Suddenly reminded of his sister's tragedy, I offer a sympathetic smile. Do you believe (Y/N) is in danger? Philippe returns my smile, though I can't make out the intent. "Of course. Evil lurks around every corner. At the very least, it won't reach them while I'm around."

🎭 Sangria - A fond smile graces her face as she recounts her memory. "It was clear to me after some time that I had disastrously entranced them." Then she adds, lightly, "I hadn't meant to, of course. At the time, I thought, I'm not looking for love—no, I'd had enough of it all—but soon, their smile would appear in my mind every time I sang. When someone gives you that much inspiration? You'd be a fool to let them go." She has a playful tone of voice, but I can tell (Y/N) means a great deal to her.

what if the karma system is a canon pip-boy feature so the reason it's like "stealing is wrong. but killing this random guy we say is a criminal and taking his corpse money? hell yeah brother you're the best!"

it thinks the NCR are just the normal government and it thinks the legion are communists

Honestly while this tracks perfectly with what I'd expect from using vault technology and is a fun in-universe explanation, I don't think we should obfuscate what the karma designations in the game say about the creators' own biases and values (which seldom diverge from those of broader mainstream/capitalist culture).

But also, shout out to that guy in the Bungle at Palookaville 1999 show that screamed, clear as a bell, "I'd have your baby Mike!!!!"

*You enter the landing pod to J and @p3nny-bakes-cookies fighting, judging by the amount of oil on the floor they've been at it for quite a while* "YOU NEED TO LEARN YOUR PLACE!" "YOU NEED YOUR HEAD BASHED IN WITH A ROCK!"

V was quick to jump down and step between them. "NOT IN THE LANDING POD." She loudly hissed. She turned to Penny first. "While I am ALL for you beating the shit out of J," She put a finger up to silence any retorts from J, "Do you have to do it in the pod? We chill in here. Besides, it's cramped and you don't have enough space to properly beat her ass," They turn to J with one of her eyes now being an X.

"You deserve this, you know that, right?"

New Hobbit Comic chapter tomorrow! In Chapter 14, Bilbo Baggins finally learns what the work of a burglar truly entails. This will be the last "normal" ten-page chapter of this arc of the comic. Every chapter after this will be part of the five-part "finale," and will be far longer and more elaborate. >:3

between my laptop battery blowing up and probably being due for a new drawing tablet that isnt a nearly decade old model with nib replacements running out i fear i wont be able to doodle much for quite some time

will probably take out the old sketchbook at best and sudoku books at worst but even so. the agony has come to claim me once more

[kings-comic]

I'm so sorry for the delay, there's been some misscommunications ;-;

there goes low-poly Shade for comfort :,)

[nana2009]

Perhaps some more Danny with davekat if you are sill taking requests? Like maybe some domestic davekat and Danny is also there?

so sorry 4 the wait anon! i couldnt think of many domestic scenarios, so i hope u can forgive me with these doots + sum headcanons m(_ _)m

With Dave:

baby Danny really likes to bite him! Especially since human flesh is soft, so it gets addicting for a growing wriggler……

it's very much fun to climb up his parents', but his favourite playground is dave since he's taller and bulkier. on the same topic, he also prefers dave to carry him (one of the motives is the one cited above)

he gets more naughty and playful when dave tries to take care of him. examples include: bathtime, feeding, getting dressed, being put to sleep, etc. while he is more well-behaved with karkat(albeit still fussy like all kids)

human and troll body warmth are different, and although karkat's mutation makes him very warm, it's a little too much to the kid, which makes him rather cuddle to dave(specifically under his arms or even worse, directly on top of his nose…)

he acidentally pinches dave sometimes when being held, but it's not on purpose :(

kinda weird one, but when danny's in a vulnerable position(ex.: using his diaper) he gets alert when dave(or anyone other than karkat) is around, and stares straight into their soul. troll instincts not fully identifying him as a lusus or smth idk

With Karkat:

as i mentioned before, much better behaved with karkat, although it may be because he's much more strict than dave

even if he prefers dave in question of comfort, he would rather stay with karkat if possible, since troll reasons idklolz

karkat grabs him by the scruff like a kitten because i think thats cute

more cat-like habits include: getting super close to danny if he feels threatened, keeping very close watch no matter where(at least during his toddler years), purring and chirring to make him feel safe :3

danny likes climbing karkat too, but its really so he can stay either on his chest or his hair(his favourite parts in question of warmth)

they share much more common interests, although personality-ways he matches more with dave

on the topic of personalities, he's very ill-tempered. not as much as karkat, but he's much quicker to explode(especially as a little grub!)

and another thing relating to his troll/human hybrid thing, his instincts really collide with eachother, since dave is not a troll, danny subconsciouly think of it as danger but also as a lusus, while the human genes stop him from like, screeching or attacking or crying since it knows its his parent and doesn't have the "stranger danger" signal. I might get in depth on that hybrid effect in another post if you guys get interested but for now thats it since i dont want to make this post long (ﾉ∀＼*)

again, sorry again anon!!

@regulus-regent continued from here !

A CRUEL GLINT IN THE VAMPIRE EYES SHINE . this being held a sense of pride & power that greatly entertained alucard , making the count look further into his hateful eyes with his own amused one . ❝ why not try & see for yourself , little one . ❞

[occkalt]

"I've gotta say, I've never seen quite so many museums in one place. ...Someone's a fan of the fine arts, huh."

Kat muses to herself aloud as she walks down the street, a hot drink held in her gloved hands. The warmth it emanates is like a wonderful blanket in the cold winter night - and though she's not technically supposed to be here right now, she doesn't seem particularly concerned at all.

Of course, officially she's here as part of a weekend-long school trip - but as far as the teachers are aware, Kat's snuggled up in bed right now asleep like the rest of her classmates. As far as she's concerned, though, it's their fault she's here for doing such a bad job of keeping an eye on their students. ...Talk about irresponsible.

But as for what drove her to sneak out like this... honestly, she's not really sure. It was an impulse, a last-minute decision when she'd felt bored out of her mind and unable to sleep... maybe a part of her is hoping she'll find something worth her time out here, in such an interesting place.

"What's a girl gotta do to get some excitement around here?" Kat asks, taking a sip of her drink. It's probably time to start heading back, but... Just then, she notices something that catches her eye.

"Well, that's more like it. Hey - what are you doing over there?"

1, 25, and 58 for valen 👁👁

Thank you for the asks! ♡ from this ask list

1. What’s the lie your character says most often?

I think that would be "I'm not bothered by it." It's something Valen tells himself until he believes it when faced with something that does indeed bother him. It's an ability he picked up pretty early on in life and it's because of his dad, Callen. When Valen was a young kid and something would upset him, he would cry easily. Callen would kneel down in front of Valen, grab his shoulders, and tell him "What kinda VP are you going to be if you cry at the drop of a hat? You can't let everything bother you. Toughen up. Or at least pretend you're tough. Convince yourself that it doesn't bother you." So Valen did. He hardly ever cries now and part of his aloof attitude is simply because he convinces himself that he's not bothered by it.

25. What subject / topic do they know a lot about that’s completely useless to the direct plot?

Most likely that would be his knowledge of plants. Valen has an extremely green thumb and he's very good at taking care plants, but it doesn't ever really come up in his story. It's a hobby that he takes part in and it's something to keep him busy, though it's never actually a part of the plot. At least, not yet.

58. How many hobbies have they attempted to have over their lifetime? Is there a common theme?

Valen actually hasn't attempted many at all, though that is very likely because he wasn't really given the time or place to try new things. His entire life has always been pretty abundant with things he was forced to focus on instead of himself and his own interests. First it was being inside of his father's syndicate, then the military, and now his work as a private contractor with Ares Systems. Even as a kid, his father would bring him to work and give him small duties to take care of. He did manage to find a little time here and there, and picked up a few hobbies, but rather than trying new ones, he simply stuck with the ones he first attached to. Such as growing/taking care of plants, technical drawing/art, fixing up and customizing motorcycles, and MMA/kickboxing training and sparring. In more recent years, he's tried to get a little better at cooking and trying new things in the kitchen.

"My hand would go here, you said?" She still wasn't sure if she understood correctly. How many ways were there to hold a sword correctly? She had little training in the art of swordplay and it showed. "This is certainly different from playing the lute." Sighing, she catches sight of her sister on one of the benches in the distance and waves. "I wish to be of help to all of you even if I am not the greatest!"

@mettleborn / closed starter for samuel!

She's had better times, that's for sure. Although the once brilliant blue is now a pale from the dirt and decay of the wasteland, Echo still sticks out like a sore thumb in the middle of an open-gated settlement. Hungry, exhausted, sore -- nothing compares to the frustration, however, from the sheer shut-out she's received from the locals. A simple hello gets shunned. A 'can you help me' is a cold shoulder.

Golden Rule, her butt.

Although he's the sixth person she's asked today, Echo refuses to give up. Won't, not when she knows crossing this wasteland by her lonesome spells a death sentence. Maybe she doesn't have many caps -- or any -- but she can figure it out. Make it up. She just needs someone to take a chance.

"Hey, mister?" Echo peeks into his peripheral, staring at the stranger with those blue doe eyes. They haven't worked yet, but darn if she won't try. "Hey -- sorry to bother you, but are you looking for work? Or... um, adventure, or something? Because I have a proposition. A business deal, actually -- for you!"
