[sparrowhaven]

In modern times, the gods of old were reborn as humans. Not that they know about it...

One half practice and the other half wanting to get a design down for this character. Yes Kay's supposed to be androgynous, that's the point. Ambiguous gender, ho! 

Dunno if I'll make/post anything else about this particular AU.

Transparent because I'm lazy and couldn't think of anything*shot*

Writing Challenge Day Fourteen: Pattern

Day Thirteen -- Masterpost -- Day Fifteen

A conversation between Roger Briden (Cowboy🐝pbop) and Kayden Canus (the_loudest_mime) while playing Untamed Suns. 

the_loudest_mime: ugh i can’t figure out this thing

Cowboy🐝pbop: Where are you at?

the_loudest_mime: it’s that part in the story where you’re trapped in the underground science tomb of horrors and you have to escape but all the security things are riddles

Cowboy🐝pbop: oh yeah that one’s not any fun. too bad you have to go through it to get to the rest of the story. 

the_loudest_mime: uuuuugh i knooooow i just wanted to get this over with before i went to bed so i could get a fresh start on the next chapter tomorrow but now i’m trapped

Cowboy🐝pbop: hey at least you can find the answers online now. 

the_loudest_mime: oh yeah you were at this content first thing huh

Cowboy🐝pbop: yep. dad helped a bit at least but it was still hard.

mime: i just hate to look this shit up. feels like cheating

Cowboy🐝pbop: I mean everyone needs help now and again. is it really cheating when there’s people out there who really wanna help other people get to the content without a lot of problems?

the_loudest_mime: …….you know, that’s a real good point. okay then brb. 

Cowboy🐝pbop: I can’t wait til you get further on in the story.

Cowboy🐝pbop: so many things happen all at once, i’ve almost exploded trying not to tell you about things

Cowboy🐝pbop: like the stuff you find out about the baroness and why she formed the rebellion in the first place

Cowboy🐝pbop: OH oh and stuff about the royal family too! Dad had to walk in, i was yelling so much about all of that!

the_loudest_mime: well you can keep from exploding for a lil while longer at least. riddles, conquered!

Cowboy🐝pbop: yay! 

the_loudest_mime: oh no not another jumping puzzle…

Cowboy🐝pbop: be careful about the lazers! they’ll really throw you off if you don’t time it right.

the_loudest_mime: okay. cool. i can do this. i beat that other one just fine…

Cowboy🐝pbop: i believe in you!

the_loudest_mime: wwwwwwwwww

Cowboy🐝pbop: uh oh

the_loudest_mime: i forgot. to get out of the chat box. 

the_loudest_mime: and then i got destroyed by lazers.

Cowboy🐝pbop: at least you don’t have to do the riddles again?

Cowboy🐝pbop: kay?

the_loudest_mime: HAH I GOT IT

the_loudest_mime: FUCK YES

Cowboy🐝pbop: yay!! 

the_loudest_mime: now for cutscene goodness and then i can pass out

Cowboy🐝pbop: I dunno if you’ll want to sleep after this. I didn’t when I watched it.

Cowboy🐝pbop: there’s a few more jumping puzzles right after where you are.

Cowboy🐝pbop: and the patterns are really hard to do. 

Cowboy🐝pbop: you might just want to sleep now.

Writing Challenge Day Twenty-seven: River

Day Twenty-six -- Masterpost -- Day Twenty-eight Kay hesitated at the edge of the river. Her toes curled up in anticipation, watching the water lap at the sides. Beside her, Roger was in a similar state of dread. The two eyed each other, then the moving water for the third time. 

“You ninnies. The best way to test out the water is to just get in there.” A rough voice stated from behind the teenagers before the two of them were shoved into the river. There was a massive splash, followed by the tweeting whistles of a couple of lifeguards who hurried by to see what was going on. 

The teens managed to surface and cough up chlorinated water. Thankfully the water was about three feet in depth, so it was easy for them to stand. “You two alright over here??” One of the lifeguards, an older man in a topknot with the whistle and bright red trunks of pool authority looked them over. His fellow guard was busy giving the culprit a chewing out. The Captain (neither teen knew his actual name, though they’d both heard Roger’s dad call him Sevka when in another room) just folded his arms and looked entirely unimpressed with the lecture. 

Roger was the first one to recover enough to answer. “I got water up my nose.” He complained. “Now it feels tingly.” 

“I think I’m okay.” Kay whipped back wet hair out of her face and blinked a couple of times. “Should’ve brought a hair tie, though.” 

With a sigh of relief, the lifeguard glared back over at Captain for a moment. “Well obviously follow the rules better than he did,” He started as he reached a thumb under one of the bands around his wrist. In a practiced motion, the band was off and being offered to Kay. “But otherwise have fun.”

She gratefully took it with a nod of thanks. In fact, her mouth had opened enough to say something when Captain’s voice cut in. “The water’s not deep enough to cause this much alarm. Besides, they’re fine, clearly.” 

“Sir, I really need you to come with me--”

“Absolutely not. I don’t see what the problem is.”

“You could have injured the kids, or someone else or both--”

“Oh please--” Captain and the other lifeguard were both steadily raising their voices, so the first gave a quick thumbs up and headed over to try to do some damage control.

The two looked at each other. Kay shrugged and started to tie up her hair in a ponytail. Not all of it could fit, so a few strands on either side of her face hung down. “At least he didn’t push us into the big pool. ” The water was warm, which had surprised her. She’d expected something cooler when she’d been staring at it. She could feel the water trying to push her down its winding path as she kept standing. “Or off one of the diving boards.” 

He stuck a finger in one ear, and then the other. Probably trying to dislodge any water that had gotten in there. “You know, I heard him once talk about throwing his son into the ocean to teach him how to swim.” 

“Somehow, I’m not surprised.” Spotting an inner tube floating in their direction, Kay made her way to try to intercept it before it got out of their grasp. Before she could get very far, though, Roger grabbed her arm and tugged her towards the side of the river. 

She felt very awkward all of a sudden at the skin to skin contact. It’s not like she was indecent or anything--Kay was wearing a black tankini top with printed white flowers and black swim shorts. It was just that her usual clothes tended to lean more towards long sleeves and covering skin rather than showing anything off. Touch was something that she shared with a very few people, and even though Roger was on that list the contact was still strange due to not being used to having any for long periods of time. 

Her thoughts were still circling around this contact and what it might mean for her when Roger tugged her arm again and she came back to the present. “Look! A double one!” He pointed excitedly.

Indeed, the object he had focused on was an innertube made for two people. It looked like a bright orange eight with two sets of handles near either hole--presumably so that both parties could feel secure. Kay eyed the single innertube as someone swam up to claim it. “Alright, that’ll work.” 

Together, the two of them briefly hopped out of the lazy river to drag the double innertube back. It took a bit of awkward maneuvering from both of them, but eventually they managed to get comfortable in the plastic embrace as the river steadily moved them around the water park. 

They had managed to go through a single lap of the river when they saw Captain getting scolded by Roger’s dad. The boy sat up so fast to wave that it nearly overturned the delicate balance that the two of them had managed to make. Thankfully, Kay had hunkered down enough on her side that neither of them went overboard. After a brief moment of panic, Roger’s dad gave a sigh of relief and waved back before going back to his conversation. 

“Sevka you know better--” They could hear echoing towards them.

“The water here’s harmless, Sascha.” Captain was huddled up on a lawn chair, practically hissing like a cat. “For the love of all that is good and decent, the water’s indoors. The boy’s even laying in it right now! Nothing bad’s going to happen here.”

“That still doesn’t give you the right to push him into it!”

Roger’s face was falling further and further as he watched the adults get into an argument. The river wasn’t moving fast enough to get them away from the scene very quickly. Kay decided that it was time for a distraction. She leaned over far enough to scoop up water and quickly splashed it at her friend. 

“Hey!” He leaned over and did the same to her. She laughed and kept splashing. 

“We’re in an all fun zone! No moping in the fun zone!” 

“Says the moper!” Roger accused as he stretched enough to get water with both hands. This proved to be a horrible plan and he slid right into the river. Kay sat up enough to try to see if he was okay, only to get a veritable tidal wave to the back of her head. “Gotcha!” He called out from a short distance behind her.

“Of course you know, this means war.” She declared as she tucked herself up enough to also fall into the water.

The splash fight that ensued was quite epic, though the teens had to pause when Roger’s dad called them both to lunch.
