'Cause you started something, oh, can't you see?

That ever since we met you've had a hold on me

It happens to be true, I only want to be with you

"The dream changes every time I have it. Ever so slowly does it feel like it's edging towards something. It's the same place that I feel like I've been here before but It's impossible that I have. The thoughts are hazy, feeling as if they belong to me and do not at the same time as if I'm living in my own mind and someone else's. I always feel some presence hovering over me, watching me as I wander through these visions, stalking me." "Wherever it leads me, I need to see it to it's end."

22.  QUEST :  for one muse to help the other with a task in exchange for compensation. (Arcuris Rilanox)

[Comprehensive List of Scenarios Prompt]

Those in Val Saule craved coin to a despicable amount, no doubt the core reason the trading town continued its downward spiral into over indulgence, petty crime and heartache. Primarily relying on bartering during the War, material goods and services were much more valuable to exchange when gil lost all meaning. Logging, furs, even hunting the odd night creatures that stalked the surrounding woods sustained them for a time...but when the sky port opened again — when the traders, merchants and undeniably sinister visitors returned through the very good and not at all corrupt port authority — it brought coin. And with the coin came the booze, and the drugs, and the crime. The desire for more, for what their neighbor had, for what they saw when the elite stopped to rest. It made people suffer, made her suffer.

Marlowe needed gil just as much as everyone else. She couldn't sustain on the kindness of others, on the meager donations provided to the dilapidated Temple she worked in. Lived in. It made opportunities like this so very hard to reject. The distant echoing thought of suspiciously convenient urged her to stay put for once—

But she needed it. Just as Etoile needed her daily nightcap, as Mr. Harper needed his whores. Though the longer he spoke, it seemed the job itself was not quite so terrible compared to other things she had done. To her pleasant surprise she had been to where he was asking to go many times, and he not only looked like an incredible deterrent to any sort of trouble, he knew how to defend himself. 

What luck! 

If she didn't have to purchase an additional sellsword, she could attempt to perform another job at the same time. Surely she could cajole him to accompany her further than his destination? Would he abandon her once they were so far out? She'd be sure to force the issue later...that always went well. 

Marlowe stared at him, brow knitted in contemplation as she pressed a gloved thumb to her bottom lip, leaning forward over her desk as he continued, distracted.

The size of him! Ridiculous! 

She knew many of the return visitors to Val Saule, and he was certainly not one of them. Marlowe already regretted offering him a place to stay in the Temple, to eat in the Temple...the appetite on him was outrageously curious, and she had to literally bite her knuckle to stop herself from saying anything as he ate through what supplies she had. 

Her tongue flicked out against her cracked lips, and drooping, tired eyes lifted from the offer laid out before her, "Very well. I can escort you through the ravine." She tapped on the arm of her chair, already feeling giddy with restlessness, eager to get out again. Could he even use a chocobo? He was not as tall as the tallest Elezen, but the musculature was so great, dense. Even through his layers of clothes and peeking armor she knew that much from the way he moved. It wasn't her problem, she supposed.

The young woman cleared her throat, absently rubbing under an eye as she stood, glancing out the frosted window as the rarity of sun peeked through. Puh. "I can leave as soon as you are ready. I cannot, however, supply you with...additional rations." An almost drawling mumble to try and hide the tone of condemnation for something he likely couldn't control. "But I can bring you, and aid you if needed. You are correct in that the storms have brought down many a ship, both pre-calamity and after. You'll be free to dig and salvage to your heart's content." A thin smile, eyes narrowing as she wondered how he planned on retrieving the technology he sought when few others had managed before. She was also interested in seeing what it was exactly he was searching for. "In any case, I look forward to working with you, and the Temple is appreciative of your generous offer."

Dawntrail benchmark screenshots for the upcoming expansion. I'm surprised how much more I like this version of him in comparison to the old one. His eye color is also matching more to what he is supposed to have as well.

[astarmaux]

We will see the world together with new eyes and a natural warmth for the other's joy in the things we see. And oh, the many things we will experience. All the wondrous things.

Together.

Another fave of mine I put together a while back. A duty finder team up featuring @voidtekarc tanking it up, Saedre and @ashluculla for the pew pew, and Koh'li for the heals. ♥

"Morning, nerd. Sleep well?"

"Morning, nerd right back at you, Arcuris. Huh... what? It is daylight already?"

"Mhm. What do you wish to do today?"

"Anything as long as I'm with you, of course. But first, coffee!"

I like comparing the old Arcuris to the new one. The new one looks so much better than the old one and it fits his story much more especially with his age. I'm actually looking forward to the new expansion and continuing garlean man's story.

Villain Type Quiz

The Betrayer

You like to do things up close and personal. As personal as you can get. You are an excellent actor, and you do adore putting on a smile knowing your worst enemy, the one you hate the most, doesn't suspect a thing when they tell you their deepest secrets. Your only motivation is revenge, and revenge you shall get. Perhaps you loved them once, long ago, but any fondness for your target you once felt has long since warped and twisted into perverse obsession, laced with malice and venom and seething hatred. Good or evil does not matter to you. All that matters is they get what they deserve.

Eh, I dunno if I agree with this one. He is a very vengeful man but he is very straight forward about someone being his enemy. Perhaps there are times when he would like to get close to his enemies to make it easier or to have a much bigger impact on their moment of realization his man wants to destroy them and see their face when it happens.

I saw the quiz floating around and figured I'd take a go at it.

which greek god would favor you?

Dionysus (God of Wine, Theater)

YESSSS i love this guy and I also probably love you. you've got enough stories for ten lifetimes, and you're happy to spend an entire night telling them as long as you're in the presence of good company (and perhaps a drink or two). you can be a lot, but you're a good soul; you've seen the good and bad of the world, and accept both as they come with compassion and ease. remember that sometimes, there's simply no shying away from a hard decision. learning when to be indifferent and when to take things seriously will be a critical skill for you to master.

corruption arc

so. you got worse. and I'm not entirely sure i can blame you for it. maybe it was in you all along, hidden and waiting, or maybe someone planted it in you and watched it grow. either way, it's there now and you hold it in your fist like a second heart - this blood, this hunger, this thrill of having teeth and using them. perhaps you are right to. you are a mirror for the hardness of the world, and a mirror that we could all stand to look in more often. it's hard to watch the bleeding bring about more blood, but it is undeniable that you are very good at wounding.
