(YOU ALREADY KNOW-)
[the dormitory hallway's floors and walls begin to creak, as what appear to be warped ink-covered swords burst from between the stones. Pained, manic laughs sounding from just further down the hall.]
@aurora-retainer-silver
[Wuzhi is flying above the dormitory on her cloud when she hears a familiar shout.]
“WUZHI!”
[Snapping her head down, she lands next to Binx.]
“What the hell is going on?!”
“Silver overblotted! We need to get people out of here!”
“Shit…!”
[Binx looks back at the mess behind them.]
“I’m going back in there.”
“What?! But—”
“I’m going to get people out! You just focus on Silver, okay?!”
[With wide eyes, Wuzhi glances between Binx and the door.]
“…are you sure…?”
“Positive.” [He pulls Wuzhi into a hug.] “Stay safe. Call for me if you need help.”
[Wuzhi nods,] “Right..!”
[Watching Binx enter the building, Wuzhi takes a deep breath and flies back up to get a better view of the area.]
“Let’s see…”

ah, one of the more sane people of diasomnia overblotted...
this is why we can't have nice things.
“Not a single clue…makes me sick. But oh well! It looks like I’ll have to get out someway. I don’t believe my Unique Magic will be much help with this situation-“

{ - meanwhile . . . - }
Calypso was still seething from earlier. Every room, every hall, hell — even parts outside she passed by were wrecked from her path of destruction. It was easy to tell where she’d been, since almost everywhere she had been was lift in ruins.
Now, she was in The Hall of Mirrors, debating whether or not she should wreck everything in the tri-state area with her bare hands alone. Her chest heaved with each breath. Her hands twitched, as did her newfound wings.
“That damned Headmage…brain’s filled with feathers…”
Her voice was a shrill, distorted growl, but still carried a sickeningly sweet melody.
Her body ached with each movement, but it barely seemed to register to her brain. She burned, but it was merely a small tickling sensation to her. Her talon-like nails dug into her skin as she gripped her arms tightly, but she didn’t seem to notice.
Not when she was feeling like this. So angry, so filled with emotion…so free. It was like nothing she’d ever felt before. Losing control like this.
“It’s ’bout time someone did somethin’. Gotta do everythin’ yourself ‘round here, apparently. This’ll show all of ‘em who’s in charge. If you can’t join ‘em…makin’ ‘em fear you is your next best option.”
A dark grin spread across Calypso’s face.
“Might as well get some vantage points if i’ma be like this for a while. Figure I should test these babies out.”
She glanced over her shoulder at the jet black wings that had now sprouted from her back, and ran a finger along the dark feathers before unfolding them fully. They truly were magnificent. Like the wings of a great raven.
In seemingly a flash, she was outside, perched up on one of NRC’s high towers, surveying everything below. From afar, she probably would’ve looked like some sort of gargoyle. That was good, let her slip right under their noses.
Better to hunt, after all.
STUDENTS OF NRC:
WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT LISTEN TO HER MELODY. SHE IS TRYING TO LURE YOU TO HER. DO NOT GIVE INTO TEMPTATION.
SHIELD YOUR EARS. GUARD YOUR MINDS. SHE IS NOT HERSELF.
AVOID ANY INDIVIDUALS WITH A HYPNOTIZED GAZE, AND ESPECIALLY AVOID AREAS WHERE HER SONG IS HIGH IN VOLUME.
DO NOT LET HER CATCH YOU, SHE HAS NOT BEEN MERCIFUL THUS FAR.
GOOD LUCK, AND BE SAFE, STUDENTS.
"E-eh..? What- what's happening..? Ah-! Okay okay- 'shielding' my ears..."
Kiyuu had been walking down the halls, but had paused to cover their ears as soon as the announcement was made, not leaving anything up to chance by hesitating. Looking left and right, there were many people around who'd failed to react in time, with glazed over eyes, moving in one direction as if on autopilot. Hypnotized, no doubt.
' I have to get out of here. Covering my ears isn't doing enough to filter out the beautiful melody. '
Turning in the opposite direction, they began to move. They didn't know where exactly the song was coming from, but no matter where they went, it didn't seem to get any quieter. They pushed harder down over their ears, refusing to fall to the hypnosis. Then, they heard a voice call out to them, laced with urgency.
"--yuu- Kiyuu! Kiki! Over here!"
They heard Crimson shout out faintly through their blocked ears. They practically ran towards him, heaving breaths through their lungs, both out of tiredness, and a hidden layer of anxiety.
"Crimson! Are you alright?! Do- do you know what all of this is about?"
Crimson grimaced, and Kiyuu's heart sunk in return.
' I have a really bad feeling about this... Something about what's happening is making me feel really uneasy... '
"Don't worry Kiki, I'm alright. It's... It's another overblot. From the shouts I've deciphered, the victim seems to be someone called Calypso, I believe."
' ...Oh. That's what it was. '
"C-Calypso?! Oh- oh god... s-seven's- i mean...!"
They managed to stutter out, barely able to hear themselves over their hammering heartbeat and short breaths. Hearing that the victim was Calypso out of everyone made their heart stop.
' Overblots are a rare phenomenon. They can cost lives. Most commonly, cost lives.
Calypso could die. There's a chance that I'll never see Calypso ever again. '
"Oh- Oh. Is- she a friend of yours, then..?"
"She- she's- oh god I can't- Crimson- I have to- I have to help her. I have to see her again-!"
"Shh, dear- calm down. Breathe with me, slowly now. The announcement says that the goal of the hypnosis is to lure people to her. To go willingly is... Well, without a plan, it's dangerous. Are you sure you want to..?"
Kiyuu took a few moments of silence to level out their breathing, in an attempt to calm down. They knew they could refuse, guarantee their own safety and peace by running away right now. But they couldn't do that. They were buzzing with nervous energy, a burning desire to chase after Calypso, to help her, to save her.
They ignored the voice in their head telling them how useless they were, telling them that there was no point even trying without magic.
' No. I will see Calypso again. Alive. '
"I- I know it's dangerous- but- I- I don't care. I don't. I- I have to see her. I- I have to at least try to help her- And I- I'll figure out a plan if- if I have to- I just- I- If- if she dies then- then- I-"
"...Hey- hey! You don't have to defend yourself, Kiki. It's okay. Everything will be okay, alright? I- I won't stop you. However- I- must request to accompany you. I'll be too worried about you otherwise. ...Please let me come with you."
Kiyuu's mouth snapped shut, and they took a breath, readjusting their hands over their ears as they hesitated, before nodding quickly.
"Okay. Alright. Thank you, Kiki. Just- follow my lead. Right, now... the source should be..."
Crimson trailed off, before beginning to wander in a certain direction, glancing back to make sure Kiyuu was following, then continuing down the hall.
' I refuse to let my lack of magic stop me from doing anything I can to help save Calypso. I've done this before. I- I can do it again.
I can. '
- Kiyuu & Crimson <3

i really like how canonically yuu is genuinely supportive of grim wanting to be a great mage. if i recall correctly, even character voice lines point this out. and it seems like yuu dotes on grim a lot and defends him too??? yuu even encourages grim's ambitions whenever he declares wanting to be a great mage. and also when he does that boss-henchhuman dynamic. i mean yeah you can interpret it as yuu saying that being condescending and sarcastic as if they're talking to a child saying "when i grow up i want to be famous!" but like. i really think they're genuine when mc loves grim in their own way.
even if grim is usually a menace, he's become like family to yuu.
and i'm pretty sure grim feels the same way.
think about it this way. despite all the mess, all the unpredictability, the danger, and all the drama being in nrc. what's always the constant? yuu goes home at the end of the day to the ramshackle dorm (basically their home at this point considering they slowly but surely fix it up over time) and with who? “the great mage” grim. as the sole outcasts in that academy, they both sleep soundly knowing they will always have each other at the end of the day.

As Calypso hurtled towards the ground, her vision began to spot with black and white. Her life seemed to flash before her eyes. All of her good deeds and mistakes. Her friends, her family. The ones she couldn't save. Was she going to die here?
She didn't want to die here. She couldn't. She wouldn't. She still had so much left to do, so many things left unfinished.
She still had to sew that outfit for Kiyuu. She still had to have that sleepover with Rose in a few days. She still had to keep Grim out of trouble, as much of a daunting task as it was. She still was planning on telling Leona how she felt in a few days during their study session together. She still needed to apologize to Yuna for all of this.
Oh, well. Maybe death was near here, then. Maybe it had been, all along, just under her nose.
At least she would have a chance to apologize to Shiloh.
When she finally made contact with the wind spell, the sickening crack of bones snapping could be heard, causing her to black out completely.
But, it looked like nothing vital had been hit, which was good. But she was still in critical condition.
STUDENTS OF NRC:
WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT LISTEN TO HER MELODY. SHE IS TRYING TO LURE YOU TO HER. DO NOT GIVE INTO TEMPTATION.
SHIELD YOUR EARS. GUARD YOUR MINDS. SHE IS NOT HERSELF.
AVOID ANY INDIVIDUALS WITH A HYPNOTIZED GAZE, AND ESPECIALLY AVOID AREAS WHERE HER SONG IS HIGH IN VOLUME.
DO NOT LET HER CATCH YOU, SHE HAS NOT BEEN MERCIFUL THUS FAR.
GOOD LUCK, AND BE SAFE, STUDENTS.
Prefect??? Open up this instant! It's an emergency!
Yuna PLEASE let us in ASAP! It's not good out here!
*James knocked his fists against the door and Lewis stood behind him anxiously. Yuna opened up looking a bit frustrated, but also concerned for the odd behaviour as the two second years pushed their way in and slammed the door behind them. Lewis had his headphones tight on his head and James had on a custom pair of thick earplugs*
What's up, Squeaky? Hatter? You guys look like you've seen some shit. Is something wrong?
Something is MAD WRONG out there. Like crazy wrong- it's- I'm-
We were recording an episode for today and... There was some notification that came up on our phones. We didn't know of anything until it showed up. Thankfully the booth is soundproofed and so we had time to prepare but once we stepped outside it was total madness.
I think know what you're talking about. I've got headphones in myself to keep an eye on things but... I have no clue what's going on. James, you said it was madness out there? Is there anything you or Lewis might be able to tell me?
*Lewis was visibly shaking, his typically calm demeanor falling apart as he tried to compose himself*
We... We stepped outside and it was like we were about to get jumped. There were tons of students just... Mindlessly wandering about and their eyes were like... Totally fucked up? We didn't even get two steps outside of the studio before a group of em saw us and started chasing us like crazy.
We were going to return to... One of our dorms to try and escape the chaos but... The Hall of Mirrors was completely inaccessible due to the sheer volume of students acting off. We had no choice but to run until we thought of or found a safe place... (I still feel quite weak from using my unique magic so many times for not one but TWO people...)
Alright... Just... You two take a breather real quick then, hm? Im gonna have to go get something real quick...
*Yuna turned around and disappeared down a hallway as James and Lewis took a seat on a nearby couch*
*sigh* wonder who it is this time... Guess I can't have a moment of peace, can I?
*Yuna moved to a closet and fished around before pulling out her baseball bat and returning to the group*
How do you guys feel about helping me take out an Overblot, huh? I know you're a bit tired from running all over but... I can't really go do this alone? At least, that's what I promised.
*sigh* very well. Allow us a moment to rest for a bit and then we shall aid you however we can...
Wait we're seriously gonna go fight an overblot?
Well, what other choice do we have, Lewis? We can't just sit around and wait until we get attacked again...
I'll leave you two to figure that out... Just meet me by the door whenever you're ready, yeah?
(✨ @bubblin-trouble haiiiiiii hope u don't mind the tag but I loveeee Overblot arcs and I'm choosing my fighters teehee)

I have a confession to make.
I am awful at coming up with names, but didn't want to keep the name "Yuu" so I opted for the closest thing in my vicinity....which was my Blåhaj plush.
After a few weeks of playing I can't help but imagine interactions between the PC and the cast to just look like this:

SO WHERE WAS SEBEK WHEN ALL THESE OVERBLOTS WERE HAPPENING LIKE???
(Spoilers for the twst books)
Random npc: _____ is overblotting!
Yuu: oh word? Sebek shock the shit outta them.
Sebek: *fucking taser noises*
Like sebek could’ve stopped so much if he just decided to give the overblot boys a little push. Oh leona is about to murder ruggie? Tase him. Riddle is about to impale cater? Tase him. Jamil just launched everybody halfway across the desert? TASE HIM.
The mc wouldn’t have become fucking homeless 7 times if this alligator bitch actually did something
AND WE’RE NOT EVEN GONNA TALK ABOUT HOW THE MC COULDVE JUST TOLD DEUCE TO THROW A CAULDRON AT THE OVERBLOTS.

Furioso.
TW: strong language below the cut. mentions of harming someone. calypso inflicts no real injury or bodily harm. this time.
“CROWLEY! YOU MOTHERFUCKER! WHERE ARE YOU?!”
Calypso was unstoppable at this moment. She couldn’t be stopped. Not when every student who saw even a glimpse of her murderous, fury filled glare went running for the hills as she stormed down the halls towards the Headmage’s office.
“I KNOW YOU’RE IN THERE! OPEN THE FUCK UP!”
“Calypso! Wait up!! Slow down, you’re going too fast!”
Calypso wasn’t listening to Grim’s pleas. She couldn’t listen, not when she was this mad. The audacity of that no good, deadbeat, lying, slimy, duplicitous, good for nothing son of a —
“OPEN SEASAME, PERRA!”
With the force of someone at least twice her size, Calypso was able to break open the door. Somehow. It was inhuman, the way her chest heaved with each breath. The way her irises swirled with a typhoon of built up rage and resentment.
She’d had enough.
“YOU.”
“No-Now, now, Miss Xaymaca…let’s not be too hasty—”
“YOU’VE HAD TOO MANY CHANCES! I ASK YOU TO DO ONE SIMPLE FUCKIN’ THING, AND YOU CAN’T EVEN DO THAT? WHAT KINDA SORRY ASS EXCUSE FOR A HEADMAGE ARE YOU!?”
Crowley was hiding behind his desk, at this point. Like the coward he was. Spineless.
Now, her fangs were bared. She was seething. Her day had already started out not so great, with the ghosts disturbing her yet again. She put her initial annoyance at that aside for a moment, and had tried to move on with her day like she normally would have.
Classes weren’t that great either. Calypso hadn’t had much time to doll herself up, so she had barely put on some mascara and brushed out her hair. Safe to say some students took notice, and were so “kind�� as to let her know. Getting wads of paper thrown at the back of her head wasn’t helping, either. What were they, third graders?
The constant nagging, the teasing, sometimes just flat out bullying, it had been dragging her down, as one would imagine. So, at first, she went to Crowley about it. He was the Headmage, he’d do something about it, right? He had to.
But, no. He hadn’t. What was she thinking, really? Trusting someone like him. He had just expected her to somehow fit in perfectly in this alien world.
Today was her last straw. Walking down the stairs, as she did often, she had dropped something. While bending down to pick it up, someone had “accidentally” bumped into her, sending her tumbling down the last few steps.
Her only physical consequence for that was a nasty black eye, a bloody nose, and a sore ass shoulder, but that one incident made her snap. As soon as she caught sight of the culprit, she had half a mind to knock them clear out where they stood, but she held back. There was time later.
So, then she stormed (quite angrily) to Crowley’s office, and here she was now.
“Miss Xaymaca, Ca-Calypso, please just listen for a moment! I didn’t mean—”
“OH, YOU DIDN’T MEAN FOR ME TO GET PUSHED DOWN THE STAIRS, HUH? IF I HADN’T WALKED MYSELF DOWN HERE, WOULD YOU HAVE DONE ANYTHIN’?”
“Well, I—”
“NO! OF COURSE YOU WOULDN’T HAVE! BECAUSE YOU NEVER DO ANYTHIN’ HERE BESIDES SIT ON YOUR ASS AND LOOK PRETTY!”
“I’ll have you know that is obviously false! I have done many things for this fine institution—”
“CUT YOUR BULLSHIT!”
Her shriek rang through the room, making Crowley take a momentary pause as well as Grim, who was cautiously floating just a few feet behind her.
Her hands twitched. Her fingers itched. She needed to crush something. Throw something. Anything. A skull, maybe? Preferably Crowley’s, at the moment.
Then, a smile spread across Calypso’s lips, and a soft laugh came from her throat.
“Oh, silly me! I don’t know why I’m yellin’ like this! Don’t wanna strain my voice, now do I?”
Crowley and Grim exchanged confused, and concerned glances for a brief moment. What had just happened???
“Calypso…?”
“What.”
Her eye twitched. Her nose started to bleed again. Her smile turned into an ear to ear grin. Something was wrong. Very wrong. Grim seemed to sense it, as he backed up even further almost immediately.
But Crowley, oh Crowley, the dense man he was, wanted to poke the bear. Couldn’t resist.
“Mi-Miss Xaymaca, I ask that you put a stop to this…this…behavior of yours. I won’t tolerate it, and if you can’t accept that, then you can leave my office!”
It was like she hadn’t heard him. At least, it didn’t look like she had, given her lack of acknowledgement or even a simple response.
Her eyes seemed to don a manic look. She twitched more intensely. One could compare her to a bomb counting down before explosion, and they’d be spot on. She did look like she was about to explode.
Crowley came to that realization as well, but unfortunately a little too late.
A loud, banshee like shriek could be heard from across the entire campus, startling the student body out of whatever they had been doing the moment before.
Then, it was silent for a minute or so. Everyone thought it was over. Whatever it was, it had gone, now. But, that’s when the singing began. Oh, it was so beautiful. Hypnotic, like being dragged under the ocean’s waves…
But whatever had caused it, it wasn’t good. And it might just be the newest, biggest problem the students have to deal with.
Quick FYI, this is the last post before the event itself is starting!! You don’t have to respond in character just yet, just sit back, and watch the flames grow. For now.
Tagging everyone who’s doing the event here!! <3
Taglist : @nrc-asteryn-crew @night-raven-miscellany @nrc-ramshackle-prefect @nrcsfavoriteshrimp @grimthegremlin
@floyd-leech-thing @poiison-apples @tea-cup-tyrant @hello-from-nrc-infirmary @readsrandomstuff67
Also, be on the lookout in those inboxes of yours. A certain message might appear soon, which could potentially help keep you out of harm's way. Just a heads up~ Also, if you are a multimuse blog (or, if you have more than one blog), you can choose the muse(es) that interact with this version of Calypso, even if they never have before! Yes, you can use more than one muse with this event! :3

Twisted wonderland manga episode of heartslabyul spoilers
I just freaking realized something as I reread twisted wonderland episode of heartslabyul: when Riddle was eating a strawberry tart for the first time, he started eating the strawberry first. Only the damn strawberry. And it tasted like heaven to him. Like it’s the first time he’s had a damn strawberry.
Are you—
Are you telling me that witch of a mom of his didn’t even at least let him eat a certain fruit? A food that’s meant to be good for your diet??

Sorry for the ask as anon, I'm really shy and don't want to be perceived. Just wanted to say that I really like your art. I think it's really cool and it reminded me that Twisted Wonderland is a game to play and not a stagnant thing that I can info dump about to unsuspecting people :3 And your Rollo drawings are really cute and make me hungry because his name makes me think of candy
Ahdhsv thanks ! It's ok I'm shy too and I almost always overthink every word I write whenever I have/try to answer ppl :') Tumblr is mostly an introverted people site anyway, I think-
But hey, I'm happy if my little drawings makes people happy or help ! Imo twst can be enjoyed any way you want wether it's as a game you get invested into with the cards and stuff or just vibe w/ the fandom and appreciate the characters and stories through maybe fics or art or anything ! No need to even play the game.
Though the game does have aspects I appreciate like the guest room or judt being able to have your guys on the main screen and poke them non-stop, sometimes it also reminds me that "oh right this character is like that I kinda forgot" or just appreciate their seiyuus. (I try to guess who says "twisted wonderland" whenever Iopen the game and fail miserably necause I play 90% of the time w/ no sound :))))
+ When you look at it you see how much effort was put into the game and that it is loved, I'm honestly loving the lineless backgrounds !! + the costumes for event cards are always detailed, there was research put into the harveston or masquerade outfits !! (And the others as well tbh) + the soundtrack !!! Idia's dorm theme my beloved, I should really start chapter 6.....
(Though I get the infodump part, I have nobody I know irl playing the game so from time to time I do infodump on a friend (sorry 🙏))
Anyway, here's a mini Rollo chilling in the grass :)
