"....probably the same thing that happened to Nature....repeats of the deaths of those I love,...unending,...until I'd just...shatter."

"I prefer about an hour before sunset, actually.- That way, I don't have to worry about an excessive amount of fur when I'm trying to get myself clean. Not really a fan of baths, though- and I don't use shower gel, so I couldn't tell you...unless we're talking shampoo in general, in which case... Run Like The Wind, which has a nice flowery smell to it. It's a bit stronger than the incense I light when I'm meditating in the morning, but it's still really good."

"....if the circumstances were correct,...I'm sure I would." Murk let out a small breath. "...the lives of those I have come to know...mean so much more to me than I could have ever imagined." He nodded lightly. "I would trust the requests of my allies over anyone else's, at the very least...though I do not believe I hold one in higher regard than the others."

"Orange Creamsicle Soda, no contest...and I do prefer cold over hot drinks. Have you seen where I live?"

"I actually don't- but if I had to wear a uniform, I'd want something that looked really nice! Like a button-up suit with a tie, or something. Not that it would really work given my day-job is repairing damage around Apotos, but it would look really snazzy!"

"What purpose do you have in learning about the literature I consume in my free time?" The answer is medieval fantasy, anything with a knight as a main character,....and no, due to being assigned missions left and right, alongside chatty coworkers.

"....flying." The faintest hint of wistfulness was on her face for a moment- and then gone. "I used to own a bike. Perhaps I should see about asking Tails for a new one at some point. I'm sure he would appreciate the challenge of an all-terrain bike that can withstand extreme temperatures."

"Cuddling and help with making gemstones....both of which Temps already does. Sorry anon, the position of 'girlfriend' is already taken~." He's just going to. Lightly stick out his tongue-

"Other dimensions goes against the doctrine of the Chaos Temple, so of course I don't!" He does- he's semi-friends with Murk, after all. And after his disillusionment with the temple,...he doesn't trust their teachings at all.

"Not as if yet. I'm not entirely sure if there's anything worth collecting, out there. The only thing I gather is rings- the higher the purity, the better. It makes me feel...just a little closer to my brother."

Because I can,...thoughts on who would dress as what for Halloween.

Vampire, whether pastel or not, who even knows. Probably similar to this outfit, save she'd also get contacts, some fake blood splatters near her mouth, and just have fun hissing at people. For those who can't see the outfit- think 'victorian vampire' with a dash of detective.

Semi-sexy pirate costume, probably a mix of a man's and a woman's outfit, since they'd want the feminine proportions but the masculine attire itself. Probably had to commission it, thank stars for making funds as a construction worker and protector of the city.

Fire captain. Mate doesn't really trust that any outfit they wore would look 'nice'. Would let the cats they look after at the cafe tear holes in it throughout their shift, no doubt. Mate doesn't mind or care.

Middle right. She'd claim it was a 'healer', no doubt. Honestly, Fin just strikes me as the type to wear witch-hunter outfits despite being a self-proclaimed witch.

Enderman from Minecraft. Absolutely just uses the whole 'stare at and they go wild' to disappear the moment he's spotted. Claims it's just 'really good visual affects'.

Hilariously, wine god costume. Even though the mate definitely has a low alcohol tolerance. However, it would semi-match with Bless, so they'd be happy.

Forced to wear a costume by some of his 'coworkers' (fellow agents). They somehow managed to convince him to wear a sexy cop costume, though Rust doesn't really get the intent behind it.. Xey're mostly in this to get its fellow agents to shut it.

A couples' costume with Tempest. He'd be the frozen king to Tempest's burning queen.

Sexy valhalla prince. Of course, he'd save that for later in the night....at the start, the top is replaced with a chain-link chestplate, though he does keep the cape (and gains a sword + scabbard- no not that sword, mind outta the gutter).

Wants to wear a costume, but he's afraid of being spotted by anyone. Wouldn't dare to wear one at the temple or anywhere near it while in disguise, either.

A couples' costume with Azure. She'd be the blazing queen to Azure's freezing king.

Good luck, she can change her form at will, so if she wants any costume change throughout the night, she'll get it instantly. Defaults, however, to a lizard witch.

"....you're welcome to stay here as long as you'd like....well. Until the doors close at the end of the day, anyway. Then? You've gotta go home." Dev chuckled softly.

Under a cut due to length!

Not very well, to be honest. Node- and all the SIs- aren't that great or open to competition of any sort. Some are more developed than others in their response to it- Node has learned how to just have fun and congratulate those around them, while refusing to let competitive comments get to them. But, they'll still experience a burst of anger if anyone makes comments towards them about them being a 'loser' or 'not good enough' or any other level of trash-talk.

Making something for the previous year, every year. His old home with his mothers was filled with lots of carved decor, each made by him and his mom, as well as some metal creations from his mama. He still makes something every year (or at least tries to), in case some of the presents he's sent out in the past weren't hint enough. It's not exactly something he outright states unless asked, but...he does hold it as a dear tradition in his heart.

That depends on what you mean by 'obsession'. His own? Once he realizes it, he'll panic and completely cut whatever it is off. It doesn't matter if it's something he likes- he doesn't know how to separate healthy desires and wants from what he was for the entire start of his existence. Of course, this comes at a detriment because he slowly cuts off everything he enjoys- please show him it's okay to like something, even to the point of (at least a mild) obsession.

Walking on the edge of Apotos, looking out over the ocean. Sure, Cinn's got a fear of heights like all the other SIs- but they live on the edge of a cliff. There's no fear left after living there for several years. Genuinely- just loves going on walks to relax.

Not very well is the answer. Rust's communication is absolutely shot. Every word is aggressive or blank, there's no room for a modicum of happiness in the hedgehog's tone. As such, xey suck at communication- something that would greatly benefit him in seeing a reason to keep the world alive. In terms of general communication,...words or radios. The hedgehog may have a phone, but it only checks it for work, really. Save when a certain annoying blue mobian started texting him just about every day...

She navigates justice as she tries to with everything in her life- facts first. Mercy,...she's not so good at regulating. Tempest has been traumatized by becoming one with Solaris- and as such, she has a soft spot for everyone. Unless the crime was truly grave (or it's been committed numerous times over without an ounce of change), she'll offer another chance. And another. And another. There is little she isn't merciful towards- but what she doesn't offer such kindness to, there is only the fire of her rage.

Honestly, the loss of half of Mobius' population in the blink of an eye was the worst experience of Azure's life. He'd nearly turned then and there, but it would in fact be over a year before he'd actually succumb to the thoughts of failure, of abject loss that had come to permeate his subconscious. He tried to be Tempest's rock- and only eventually succeeded in pulling themself under, before Eggman of all beings pulled him back. It was not a positive transformation- but possibly the worst moment of Azure's life.

Strawbeet challenges in the 'status quo' solely in that they are actively fighting the Chaos Temple, while many are content to just let it slide (after all- it's not attacking them, why should they care?). Aside from that, he's very much a rule-follower, and doesn't step outside of societal 'norms' unless utterly required.

Poorly, really.- It's not that she can't accept it, it's that Tenebrosity can't change what she is. The harshest criticism I can think of concerning her is how she destroys civilization every now and again- for the sake of balance. If she didn't, the existing life would eventually overwhelm and destroy Mobius itself- so it's required,...but being told it's evil, being told she's evil when she's only doing the one job she's required to, the job she was made to do...the job she doesn't want to do,...it's...heartbreaking.

Devlin is somewhere between a realist and a pessimist. Mate does not trust things to work out smoothly- but doesn't expect them to fall apart, either. They look at the world through cracked lenses, thanks to their time at the Chaos Temple.

hc + flower for Devlin? hc + cook for Devlin

[Send me hc + a word of your choosing and I’ll write a headcanon relating to that word! | Accepting!]

Their favorite flower is a dandelion. Despite Devlin's black thumb, they wish they could grow one and keep it alive. However, since they can't...they try to make do with a photo or two on their phone. Not much else. Dev doesn't like receiving flowers, though.- Not from people who they haven't known for long/are wary of.

Dev looks the most at peace while they're cooking and the cafe is kinda-quiet. Not dead, mind you, but maybe just one or two patrons inside. They don't know how to make a lot of stuff, but they've tried to learn how to make a few basic items for their cafe, to give it the proper vibes™. Their favorite is the 'Mew-Crunch', which is a simple cookie shaped like a cat's head, with a little frosting on it for the eyes, whisker, nose, and mouth.

Unlike almost all of my other SIs, Dev is actually decent at cooking, and not in risk of burning their cafe down every time they make a treat for their customers. Their secret? They dance to the soft music playing throughout the cafe while they're cooking- and it keeps them on-task/aware of their food, so the times when they burn treats are far fewer/more scarce than their alternates.

"....eyes that stare back, but they're not mine.."

[reflections-of-mobius]

"...." The felines at least really seemed to like their mobian counterpart. Dev let out a soft sigh- their ears flicking as they stepped towards the kitchen. Perhaps this stranger could do with a nice little pick-me-up- and there was nothing wrong with a kitty-themed cookie being on the house, now was there? "...you've been through a lot, haven't you?..." The words were practically whispered as Dev stepped into the kitchen.

They knew that kind of bone-tiredness...and they knew better than to ask the feline herself.

"Do you like chocolate chip cookies?" The question was called as they shifted over the treats they'd baked for today's guests.

"Hm," the cat didn't respond but nodded respectfully to Dev before Al rested her head down on the table, allowing her non-anamorphic counterparts to crawl all over her.
