#Muse: Dottore

[ever-winter]

@hopeful-hugz asked:

“We’re participating in aquatic bird behavior today, I see.” Hope, do you know if Teyvat even has a penguin equivalent?

"I mean if the masses are interested in trying out something so strange...why not entertain the idea?". He pauses to think on her question, "A penguin equivalent...have you not heard of the fairytale - Tales of a Snow-Winged Goose? Not really to my tastes...but The Knave gathers all sorta of pointless drivel for her 'children'."

[glassrowboat]

Not me thinking about Dottore first experimenting with leylines, with learning how they flow, how the store memories in Irmunsal and one day seeing his parents. They're the same as they always were, his mother with a wide smile and that one curl right behind her ear she would always fiddle with, his father who would laze around in the sun only to come back in later complaining about getting burnt from accidently falling asleep. Even his skin seemed a little darker right now.

What are they doing here? They left him. They abandoned him along with everyone in that village. So why are they here now?

And it keeps happening. Every time he tinkers and pulls at those stupid branches that peak out of the soil there's someone 'new'.

His childhood pet.

The roommate Dottore had at the academia.

Soreh.

And lastly? You.

Bright eyes the same as ever as you smile at him, poke fun at him, call him an over excited nerd when the pencil in his hand snaps at just the mere sight of you.

Your name comes easily to him, just like it always did, and it hangs in the air as you turn away. Just like all these remnants of the past did. Back to him and no words spoken on your end before that spot he was watching like a hawk is empty.

Gone.

Gone again.

And he couldn't help but tug at the leyline branch again, hoping to force it into submission to allow one last glance at the person he still loved with all his heart.

@the-wayward-snowflake asked:

"You know what they say, an apple a day keeps the doctor away." Isolde snipe shots Dottore with an apple. Hitting him in the back of the head.

The heck is it with people and their apple's tonight!? He simply watches as the fruit rolls to a stop against his foot, before turning to Isolde with a toothy grin, "Yes? Have you missed me that much?". And who even came up with such a stupid saying in the first place!?

[glassrowboat]

Ya know, I bet after Dottore first took his Akasha off, he was ecstatic to be dreaming. Everything new has its novelty, and he was younger then, so I can easily see him jumping to record every little thing he can recall from his dreams. Especially the ones that made absolutely no sense.

Somewhere, he still has the notebook full of his first year having that right back.

@the-wayward-snowflake asked for a Starter (Dottore)

Honestly, it wasn't that often that he allowed for his emotions to be broadcast in such an open manner - but given how expensive the resources were in creating these segments, having them destroyed once more when he was still in the process of working out how to remake them quicker...was rather irritating. He should have taken this woman apart when he'd the chance...ah but what if's were below a man of his intelligence. "...is there a reason as to why you've suddenly found the need to be destroying equipment that isn't yours? I was even kind enough to stay out of Mondstadt - so what's the excuse this time...or have you simply been missing me?"

MORE INJURY PROMPTS BC REASONS

Well, if he were to be honest, this wasn't the most ideal of targets, given that their presence would be missed rather quickly, but at the same time a generals stamina and overall ability to remain alive could also be to his benefit, and at this point he didn't have the time to be too picky with whom it was that he was taking back with him, as the boat would be leaving Sumeru rather soon - now that the other segments within the Nation were gone, it was time for him to head on back home. Allow one of the others to deal with the slight complicated mess that he left behind in his wake. Abandoned labs hidden under the forest and by the maze of the natural cave networks to lay underneath Sumeru, would currently be full of confusion at the sudden death of the segment there - and the lack of direction on what was to happen to those specimens still living within such facilities. All boring work that others could take care of ~ but he'd decided to set up a small trap, mostly for fun. A small gift to take back home ~ he just wasn't quite expecting this to have been the result.

"Well, if you keep fighting against the effects, it's only going to hurt even more. It's best to give in by this point", he explained as he stepped out from the spot he'd been taking shelter, the spores that hung thick in the air seeming not to affect him as he addressed Cyno, "I would have thought one such as yourself would have been a little more careful. The forest is full of all types of hazards, after all".

the more pantalone lore we get, the clearer it becomes that dottore is most likely the more rational and "sane" one in that business partnership

[ever-winter]

So, this was the game that she wished to play? Well, there was no real point in getting her to admit to anything that she didn't wish to, not at the moment anyways - a more contained area would always be more useful for prying, but as he was hoping for her to lead him to her father eventually, well, he had to be at least a little careful. He placed the device he held into the water by his feet, using electro to start the device, a soft shimmering light appearing in a small circle around him. "My mistakes - perhaps it had simply been a trick of the light?", he'd made no such mistake and even pretending to have done so left a rather bitter taste in his mouth, "Or perhaps I mistook it for the light off this thing", he continued, "As for the primordial sea - it's said to be the source of all life on Teyvat, isn't that rather fasinating? Yet - such raw elemental energy would be rather dangerous to most beings...and that's what this is for". He motioned at the small device, that came up to about his waist and was currently making a soft whirling noise, "This is measuring the volume of said water to have leaked into Fontaine waters...and judging by the results, unless you happen to be a vision bearer, I wouldn't spend too long within these waters".

Speaking about her father in such a manner might earn anyone a death glare, and the one thing that saves the men from it is that Alice is half-turned to the water, thinking thoroughly about her plan. So, she prefers to ignore his reply, instead standing on the edge, she is dangerously making a small step forward --- she's now any second away from falling into the water. It won't harm her, but it will give her time to get away from him. 

But why does it seem like this man knows everything about her, and about her family as well? Or does he just try to seem like it to earn her trust? Maybe she overthinks, moreover, Alice doesn't have the time to think about it, she decides that the more time she spends with him, the worse it might turn for her.

Of course, she should be careful, since there's some kind of a threat coming from him, and in addition, a strange device in his hand which can be everything harmful, the next reply, however, shifts her mind elsewhere in a second. Now her face changes from neutral to slightly confused.

«Primodial sea...?»

It appears like she's trying to recall, but fails --- there's a reference mentioned in father's notes, regarding the element's features, which he examined closely, and when it came to hydro, something about sea and water was mentioned. Something special about the water in Fontaine, but Alice hadn't put actual thought into it until now.

«...I don't know what you're talking about. Are you just having hallucinations, or maybe things seem different at night? I'm not glowing, and I never was, to begin with! What nonsense!»

[drvortigern]

ik it's alr too late for halloween but i wanna watch all scream movies once my reca plushie gets delivered home teehee. watching movies with my favorite director....

[ever-winter]

Gives Dottore a rock.

"...and what am I supposed to do with this?"

[romaritimeharbor]

to write a dadttore fic or to not write a dadttore fic. that is the question

[ever-winter]

"Then wash them?"

"Why would anyone eat rocks? They are dirty."

[pocketfulofgalaxies]

@the-wayward-snowflake sprinkled stardust!

Arms folded across his chest, Dottore stood there unfazed by Isolde's latest attempt to get rid of him. "I am growing tired of your little games. This time I was actually here on business, get in my way one more time and you will regret it!"

@squidsavior asked:

reversed corner with Dottore :')

   𝐕𝐈𝐎𝐋𝐄𝐍𝐓  𝐌𝐔𝐒𝐄   𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍   𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐓𝐒   .

"Hmm? Some would think you're not too pleased to see me - have you been enjoying the solitude then?". He chuckled softly. There honestly was no need to be standing over her like how he currently was - he doubted that she lacked the energy to attempt to flee even if she'd wished to - and even if she did - all she'd be running into was a maze of corridors that would be impossible for her to find her way back out of. These weren't the same labs that he'd allowed for her to first escape from all that time ago - if she wished to regain her freedom, she was going to need to be useful.

[ever-winter]

"You seem to have much faith in those that you were denying to exist not too long ago". Shaking his head slightly, he watched the way in which the seal sparked against the increase in elemental energy, though the reaction did seem rather weak. Perhaps that was down to her vision being of the same element. Then maybe another would work better.

"He struck me as the type limited in his thoughts - which will hold him back in the end. Perhaps he'll even fail to save you this time - ah, maybe that would work".

Muttering away to himself, he crossed the room and started to type away into a machine that hummed into life, the tank of which seemed to glow a soft teal for a few seconds, before the machine fell silent once more. Walking back over to Collei, Dottore wasted no time in digging a new needle into the back of the girls neck, injecting the anemo energy directly into the seal.

"...let's see if this works...resentment should be a powerful key..."

Collei felt the elemental energy at the back of her neck. A chill ran down her spine. While she didn't understand the purpose of what he was doing, it couldn't be good, and she had to keep her guard up, no matter how her heart grew faint under the situation she'd found herself returned to.

Little had happened, yet it felt so much worse than the first time all the same. Now she had lost the defensive walls of her hatred, and now she had things to lose--no, rather, things that she had lost. How quickly she had lost all hopes of an escape, not with her life at least, and yet still she clung to it, though it might be easier to give up immediately.

It would make her less of a danger to others. Having a Vision had helped turn the remains within her dormant, but she didn't know how far that could possibly go, especially now, with the Doctor's active attempts to break that seal that Cyno placed on her.

She pursed her lips, expression complicated. Collei hadn't heard that Tighnari had met Dottore; maybe he hadn't wanted to stress her out, especially if he had already left Sumeru--or at least, he had believed so.

"Master is a great doctor," she said through gritted teeth. Clearly there was no point in pretending; she believed in both him and Cyno, though. They wouldn't get in trouble; they wouldn't be caught. They were both so much stronger than herself.

"It doesn't matter; they wouldn't help you break it, no matter what."
