Very mature. Is this really necessary? You're being a pest.

*Slowly, I begin to disintegrate like how people that got Thanos snapped did*

Don't even worry bout that, freindo. Real quick, here's a warning that there may or may not be someone who'll come to find you who is... .... Normal about you. Okay byeeeeee-

*I then disintegrate and become one with the wind and cherry blossoms that appeared out of nowhere like the turtle from Kung Fo Panda....*

*He just kind of blankly stares at where they had been standing...* "I... I see..." *as he processes what they said, he pauses for a moment...* "Um... Well, i sure hope people are normal about me... they'll be nice, right?" *He starts looking more anxious..* "Oh, I do hope they don't hate me..."

DWC - 20 Nov - Day 4 - Surrender / Tranquil

“You simply hold it flat... and whichever direction the arrow points, is the direction of north. You need only consider a simple acronym for remembering the cardinal directions. Never. Eat. Soggy. Waffles.”

Afternoon sunlight stretched through the canopy of tall, looming deciduous gold, red, and orange trees above her. Around her, the scent of peacebloom, a soft field of white petals. Beneath her, a pool of dark hair like twilight in soft, light waves. In her left hand, a compass. She’d used it when she was down south, remembering what Andaeros had told her when she admitted she had no idea how to use one. And she remembered as she traversed clearings and rocky cliff sides that she still wasn’t wholly certain she knew how they worked.

Was there a compass for life? If so, then she certainly could have used it. Maybe she wouldn’t have taken so many awkward turns. Thinking about it like that, however, made her feel as if she was trying to escape responsibility. And to be fair… she wasn’t lost. Questioning herself without doubt, but not lost.

“I mean, is it because nobody has ever believed in you before. … Is it because you don't believe in yourself like we believe in you.”

Laeynna looked thoughtful as she turned Junarra’s words over in her head. The goblin had no way of knowing it at the time, but the words were more accurate and striking than Laeynna wanted them to be. It was one more thing for her to confront. One more thing for her to contemplate. Combining it with everything else she was trying to hold in her hands, it felt like it was the last thing she could endure before breaking. And she certainly… had broken. In one way or another, at least.

But Andaeros had weathered it. She wasn’t accustomed to that. Perhaps because she hadn’t allowed anyone to ever do so before. She kept replaying their conversation in her head.

“Let me help you, in some small way. If not for your sake, then for mine. To feel put to use.”

She’d always kept him at a distance. Proverbial arm lifted to keep a certain space between them. Some things she could handle. Sharing his bed, she realised, had been somewhat easier than the other things. Sharing her heart. Letting him into hers. Exposing herself. Revealing her secrets. Facing his judgement. Those had been so much more difficult. Many of those hurdles she had managed to clear with time, patience, and circumstance. It wasn’t perfect, but it wasn’t supposed to be.

Laeynna had never wanted it to be.

Eyeing the compass she clutched in her hand, she gently shut it, deciding that it was likely not going to help direct her. Lowering her hand, she held his compass atop her heart and stared through the leafy branches above her thoughtfully. It wasn’t just her in a relationship. She couldn’t keep the same approach. It wasn’t fair or right to Andaeros. It wasn’t how she wanted it to be either. Once, he had reminded her that their relationship was based on mutuality. Mutual sentiments. Mutual needs. Where she had argued the concept of relying on him, he’d corrected her.

Would… it have been such a terrible thing to depend on him? To let him help her? Scraping her teeth along her bottom lip, the furrow in her brow was deep. It wasn’t just for her. It was for him, as well. If she wanted to be useful to him, then it made sense that he would feel the same way. If she forever made it seem as though she would face everything herself, then she would only succeed at building a wall between them.

“...I love you, Laeynna…”

Love. There was that, too. It still played repetitiously in her head. The first time he’d said it on a golden, sunny morning, it had nearly petrified her with fear. At least, a part of her. There was the part that had been extremely overcome with emotion, which was, in her opinion, not very like her at all. Days had made it a little easier for her to digest and to accept. Thinking it had been one thing. Saying it had been another entirely. Claiming the words. Committing to them. Letting herself accept them. Acknowledging that he was the one offering them to her.

Laeynna still had complications with it. The kinds that had nothing to do with him and everything to do with her perception of self. He knew about some of it. How she viewed herself. And she had admitted to him relatively early on that she was always so much kinder to others than she was to herself. As to whether he knew how deep all of that went, however, she wasn’t certain. It was not a subject she really wanted to dive into, and convinced that he might eventually come to perceive her as an imposition, a burden, she’d struggled to say anything.

If she accepted his invitation, would it be too much? For him? For her? For them? Would she break everything? Was their love so fragile that she thought she could snap it so easily?

Shaking her head, Laeynna huffed out a breath. No. It wasn’t. It couldn’t be. Not when it took them as long as it did to get to where they were. For her, it wasn’t some trivial concept. Andaeros wasn’t… some passing fancy, and her feelings had never been trivial or meagre sorts when she actually started accepting she had them. If that was the course she had charted for herself, then it was the one she intended to travel. She would have to adjust how she thought about things. All things. Not just her deepened relationship with the disgraced spellbreaker, but also with herself.

Something had to give.

With a soft little sigh, Laeynna lifted the compass again, standard make. Durable. Steel alloy. Glass. As she carefully opened it, she flattened her palm, watching the arrow in red remain in the very same spot that it had been the last time she opened it. No. Maybe she still didn’t know how they worked, after all.

“...So,” she said aloud, mostly to herself, though in part to the compass in her hands. “Mister Ross’ compass, how do I tell him that I accept?”

HELLO THERE CRUEL KING !!! how is it going up in there ? mod you have anonymous off :boowomp: /lh /nm

"How is it going"?

It's not going. At all.

[houseshihouin]

Okay, maybe the question had been a mistake! The absolute best kind for sure, but still! When Mukuro almost immediately started freely talking about her existing collection of strappy and sexy lingerie, Yukari had to try her best not to sputter, let alone not do a spit-take at the visions immediately conjured to mind! There was no respite as she was promptly informed that Mukuro nonetheless had some cute and colorful sets too. All matching, no doubt! Her eyes widened and cheeks puffed some for sure as she tried to keep it together!

When the topic shifted to what she was after, she blew out a breath, her expression kind of deflating. "Ah, eto... Most of my underwear is a kind of a compromise, I guess? Since I mostly wear skirts, I try to pick things that are a good mix of practical and mature, but still flattering. Comfy and some coverage, but at least kinda sexy..."

Yukari was apparently still unaware she'd flashed her panties at Mukuro earlier while exercising to work off some of her lunch fatigue, and that her companion would already have a pretty good idea about what she tended to have in cut and color!

"Like, I know I'm hot, but I kinda just wanna buy a bunch of skimpy bikini bottoms and thongs with matching showy bras, and also some pretty frilly things... some real shōbu shitagi that'd stop someone dead in their tracks, I guess. Like I bend over to get something and my skirt rides up and whoever's behind me has a religious experience, you know?"

While the reaction wasn't as dramatic as Mukuro had hoped for, seeing the way Yukari's eyebrows ticked up while her eyes widened was enough of a reaction to entertain Mukuro。 This certainly was shaping out to be a rather unorthodox first date。。。 wait, was this a first date? Or just a friend hangout thing? Mukuro wasn't too sure honestly, she could ask Yukari her thoughts on the matter but decided against it since she didn't really mind how to classify this outing and would be happy with whichever one Yukari would want to claim it as。

When asked what Mukuro would be interested in looking for at the shop, Mukuro tilted her head in thought。

「Honestly, I'm not too sure。 I have a few pieces that are quite。。。 strappy and really fit into the sexy category of intimate wear。 I don't have a lot of "cutesy" designs or lighter colors of things, so I was thinking of seeing if any caught my eye。 What about yourself? Is there anything you have in mind of checking out?」

[respiratory-kristem]

For Halloween, do not wear a domino mask, cowl, or helmet if you are dressing up as one of our vigilantes. This is both common courtesy and for your safety so you do not get mistaken for one if there is an emergency. 

We also advise those dressing as the more benevolent rogues to make sure that you do not look exactly like them. Imitation is the greatest form of flattery, but we do not need a repeat of Nightwing punching a civilian because he thought they were Harley Quinn.

"Put in bacon 'n eggs for 'em too," Jake added. He'd just eat whatever they didn't.

"You got it," the owner nodded. "I'll get that right in. Don't drive 'em too crazy, alright?"

He walked away to put the order in, Jake unclear which half of the table that comment was directed at. Well, at least he escaped that interaction mostly unscathed...? Worse things to be than the local weirdo that talks to himself. ... Even if now he had to run through options in his head on how to explain that, if the kids asked.

"Well with that out of the way," Jake sipped his coffee. "About that X-Mansion thing. How hard is that to break into?"

[Liv looks at him suspiciously, man was this not helping his case. Who was this "invisible friend!?" Did they really just get kidnapped by a psycho? But once again, Micah was paying more attention to the food instead of Jake]

Should we split something?

[She would put the menu up to cover both there faces like a cheesy action movie]

I don't trust him! Did you not just here what the guy said!?

Look, he's the one taking us to a restaurant...... a restaurant Liv! I would say to enjoy this! And if anything goes terribly wrong I'll just telaport us out of here.

Zelda is really out here just saving herself with gains like that to be honest.
