Continued from: [x] @xcedia ((Whoops, here I go to add another to the list))

“L-loser?” Haru’s taken aback at the first thing he asks her, but she remembers who she was just talking to moment before he came up. Was he watching her? “He was someone who picked up something that I dropped and I was thanking him for that. He was nice, so he’s not a loser.” Normally, Gokudera wasn’t this aggressive when asking about someone, so it only made sense in her mind that he was jealous—or that the guy just so happened to be some shady mafia guy that she didn’t know about.

“Hahi! Haru’s not stupid! You’re the stupid one for getting so mad over something so small!” All she did was have a pleasant conversation with a regular person, was that so bad? Was it a crime? “Why does it matter to you who he was anyways? He could’ve been asking me out on a date and it wouldn’t be your business.” There she goes, being combative as always. Was she simply speaking theoretical here or not? Who knows?  

Upset, she turns on her heel to storm off. “It was just a small joke, didn’t have to get so mad about it.” She mumbles under her breath angrily.

She peered at the young woman mildly for a beat before returning her attention to the literature resting on her lap, thumbing through the pages noisily, "...well, to what do I owe the pleasure...after two years?"

@xcedia — ansel, arranged marriage au.

Victor hated it, the future head of the Sokolov family wanted to tear apart anyone and anything that would make his sister do this, but she would calm him down and would step forward to offer a calming smile. For her family, she'll sacrifice even her own dream and her wish for a happy family. An arranged marriage is an insult to her wish to find love, but she breathes out and swallows her desires to step forward and then exit her house to become a wife of another man who will never love her because she will not ask him. Her mission is to be a dutiful wife, offer kind smiles and beautiful gestures to those outside. Let others think she's a sold out daughter without knowing her father's words that they must not the expanse of her powers until she either trusts them or decides to kill all of them.

And now, when the doors are closed, Zarina offers a polite and sweet smile. She is the epitome of beauty, eyes of gold and hair of silver. A light blue dress is used to appear sweeter and nicer, it covers more skin than she'd usually prefer. If she were honest, she wants to smoke and get out. This man looks like a gentleman, she notices. Sokolova tries to find any positive right now. Maybe sex will be good, maybe he won't be annoying, maybe he'll be fun even. Or maybe he will leave her alone when they don't need to act. For now, she'll be polite because she can sense the eyes of others on her. Sokolova is alone when she arrives because today is the day for them both to spend time together and learn a bit more time with each other.

"I see that... I'm not exactly welcome," she notes on the reactions of other members of Ansel's 'family.' Sokolova speaks perfect Italian, her voice is soft and gentle as the first snow. "My apologies, everyone. I must steal away your leader for the afternoon." Her words are light on delivery, but those who know will understand that a lone woman in the world of mafia and arms dealers cannot be weak. "Good afternoon, Ansel. I'm glad to see you in good health. Are you prepared to leave?" Or should we go to his office first? Away from others' eyes.

[burnxngslash]

BANG.BANG.BANG. The sound of gunshots echoes through the area followed by the sound of bullet casings hitting against the concrete. Low growls were uttered by the beasts that laid dying at his feat, another call to eradicate the demonic scum that thought they could lay terror upon mankind. “Huh, looks like I’m not the only one here.” The current location was an abandon city square that was left in destruction because of the demons, a couple of barricades would be seen further down the road to get into the cramped town where society currently lived..and judging by this person’s clothes..hell the aura itself pictured her as an outsider. “So, out here takin’ a walk or do you just like relaxin’ in places plagued by demons?” Or hell, for all he knew she could have been a hunter that had gotten here before him, the town did speak of numerous others that came to help..with neither being successful.

"It seems like I've made matters worse." - lennox&one

𝐒𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐩𝐲 𝐇𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐚𝐬𝐤𝐬 | 𝘈𝘤𝘤𝘦𝘱𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 @xcedia

Lennox is sitting against a bench, her back turned toward the older woman. Together, the two stand outside a POLICE BOX sitting on the edge of somewhere distant and far away. Her hands grip her coat lapels, and she quietly looks off towards a distant peak, somewhere far away. She stands there awkwardly, silver hair spiked from a bedhead look she can never tame. Her face is caught in a more numb, yet still ever-perpetual scowl. Although she isn't scowling at anything in particular, her face just looks like that. Absent and always observant, eyes narrow and rigid, brows squeezed low in an almost intimidating manner. Like her guard is always raised.

However, her guard starts to chip a little bit at the sounds of sniffling that Lennox makes whilst her back is turned toward The Doctor. Again, very awkwardly, The Doctor fidgets in place very softly, almost timidly. She swallows a lump in her throat, rendered speechless by the very blatant sign of trust Lennox is placing in the elder by showing such vulnerability. It suddenly renders The Doctor ashamed of any prior outbursts made at her throughout the day. The breakdown paints a specific picture for The Elder

What started as a mild curiosity in an ordinary junkyard has spun into some great and wild cosmic adventure. Suddenly, The Doctor isn't quite sure she's truly realized just how much emotional strain Lennox and Niko go through on a daily basis. Or Stella for that matter. The Doctor exhales quietly and makes a reply in the form of a very awkward clearing of her throat. "A-herhm... Yes, Quite... Well..." She suddenly winces, "I mean! Well, no not quite." She sighs, frustrated by her own nerves, but she eventually sucks in a deep breath to prepare herself... and circles over to sit next to Lennox on the bench.

"No, my dear... It seems once again... perhaps I have... rather gone and made a muck-up of things, too." She scowls at the sky and shakes a fist lightly before her frown melts into a rather forlorn and sympathetic one. "All of this is my fault, my dear." She looked down at the ground for a moment, gripping softly at her thigh. "I should... never have forced you and Niko to... have to uproot your lives like that." She curled her fingers slightly as if she was gripping lightly at the air... before she made full fists and rested them against her knees. "I don't... quite know what came over me... except that... maybe I was afraid." She finally looked toward Lennox, slightly pouting.

"Stella and I... have... lost the right to return to our home. A choice I made for the both of us and I'm sure Stella resents me for..." She assumes feelings she can not back up, but clearly shows regret at such a statement before showing some somber determination, "But... There... was no choice in the matter. Perhaps one day we will return, perhaps." The Doctor cries out softly before resting a fist against her chest, "Whatever our many variety of reasons for leaving were, though..." She explains, before looking down and sighing heavily. "It was no excuse."

"No excuse to uproot either of you from your very lives." The Doctor looks towards Lennox finally, resting a hand on her shoulder softly. "I'm... sorry for that." She used her free hand to make a fist between them. "But... Now, I must no longer be scared of the mistakes I have made, because now I am confident in my new choice... my new goal;" Her gaze softens, "To return you two home.... and in order to do that... I must be brave, confident of myself and my choices..." 

She holds her free hand open, smiling softly.

"Be brave with me, my dear."

Bark - from thatcher :3c

Taken from meme: [x] ||Accepting|| @xcedia [bark], a dog barks loudly, making sender jump and send their phone flying into receiver's face.

There were a few dogs in the neighborhood, some small and some bigger, but they were all good dogs. A few of them may be yappy, and they may growl, but they wouldn't hurt you.

Though, maybe she felt that way because she adored animals and they were generally very nice to her. Helped that she normally carried something edible in her bag.

She heard one of the neighborhood dogs barking and suddenly something hits her in the face! "Hahi!"

As luck would have it, she somehow managed to catch the phone after it bounced off her face. With her free hand, she covers her face, hissing in pain.

Is Haru not a good person? What has she done to deserve this? Really? Could someone answer her this? She looks up to see a new face, and looks down at the phone she was holding.

"Haru takes it that this is yours...?"

[kaibutsunoo]

Not a chew toy.

Something has attacked him. It started with his leg. Powerful teeth pierced into his thigh, silver blood spurting out before it quickly drys, clinging to the skin. A painful roar was released, but not one of fear or shock— but of rage and annoyance. It gnawed in hostile aggression as he marched through a city on his way toward a reactor to refuel. It was fierce, and it was a bit faster. Perhaps it was something akin to a Dog, but when he moved to try and yank it off— it made another move to try and claw up his body. Its teeth sank into his shoulder blade and tried to tear. Of course, this was easier said than done but it was still annoying... and it caused the king to fall backward onto a building.

Eventually, he was able to rip the beast off of his shoulder blade and sank his fingers between two sets of teeth after tearing the hound off— just before another bite could be attempted. Pushing the beast off of him, he began to pull at the top and bottom jaw to spread it open. Demonstrating his strength and who it was exactly this hound was picking a fight with. Not tearing enough to cause any cracks or tears, the King of The Monsters instead released a ROAR that would cause its entire body to tremble— every single bone in its body— vibrating in unison before he lifts the hound up over his head...

...And throws it across the city, causing it to crash through buildings. Inhaling extremely deeply, and clenching fists as tightly as he can— and he has to release another roar, just to be extra satisfied. The silver blood that drips down his body glows with sudden blue energy as he channels radiation across his entire form.

There is no chance of escape, anymore.

💋 — from ansel :3c

@xcedia

first five 💋 get kisses ! ( 2 / 5 ). 2 more spaces are still available.

They are to be husband and wife, correct? The eyes watch and the power her family holds is wanted by his family, but she doesn't care about that per se. If they do anything that puts her family in danger, she will kill every single one of them while still looking like a gorgeous maiden of winter she always presents herself. However, Ansel is someone who appeared to be far gentler than she expected. Must be a romantic at heart who wanted to have a better life with someone he loved only to end with her. Well, not like he'll have a woman more beautiful than her in the eyes of others to be his pretty dolled-up wife, wanted by many and envied by all. He's lucky, isn't he? He should act more like it.

Ah, but the eyes are on them and they should give them a show. Eyes of golden shine mischievously, she decides it's time to give them a show of century by taking the hand of her future husband and tugging him closer to herself and when he looks at her? Zarina makes the most loving and heart-stopping look on her face, softer expression and a smile of a lovesick maiden as she cups his face and brings his face closer to herself.

"Others are watching, I promise I'm good at kissing," she whispers to him before closing the distance between them. Her lips are soft and plump, fitting perfectly against his. She kisses him with intent, angling her head a bit to deepen to the kiss just a bit. She can hear a gasp, a curse, and a whistle, a combo of those sounds somewhere on the background as she can hear the car is arriving to pick her up. And when she breaks their kiss apart, Sokolova gives him another sweet look. Ignoring the fact that there was a second where her tongue licked her lower lip, a playful look that isn't befitting to her innocent appearance of light makeup and light-colored clothes. "We should practice more often. I should be careful not to make you lose your footing."

The last sentence is said with a giggle on the tip of her tongue as she lets her thumb caress his cheek before she lets go and steps back. and when she turns around to start walking towards the car, Zarina hums delightedly as she opens the door. But not before stopping and looking back at Ansel, waving at him.

"I promise to behave next time, Ansel, dear. I'll miss you." She won't. Can't wait to leave, but she's an actor and the world is her stage. "Dream about me today, alright? I'll dream about you. Bye, bye."

One more dead, but this was just another grunt within the Fatui. The body, however had already been discarded from the scene and would be placed somewhere between the borders of both mondstadt and Liyue. Something that should leave both lands out of the negative light should an investigator be involved. The young man removed his hood and gave his crimson hair some freedom as he remained within the shadows of the wilderness quite close to starsnatch cliff. 

A white handkerchief began wiping the blood from his numerous knives, then dagger. One look towards the horizon he saw a certain figure, from that distance, his eyes caught the colors of white and gold which meant it was only the traveler so there was no need to be alarmed. “And thus the honorary knight blesses but a humble vigilante with her presence. I do hope you being here does not mean the country is in certain doom.” Maybe it was ‘too dark’ a joke to make but he really WAS trying to be ‘light hearted’. It was hard to do so genuinely than it is when he’s only wearing a mask in public.

　　being knocked out was embarrassing enough as it was, especially when slimes were involved ( there were more of them than she could count, but that didn't mean she liked losing to barely sentient goo ) but the vaguely familiar voice made her heart sink into her stomach. when she opened her eyes and saw the mask, it confirmed her fears.

　　' i request to be put down. ' her voice was cold, so desperately trying to sound stern when she still felt weak. at least she still had her mask, which gave her some kind of confidence. ' i don't think it's appropriate for a harbinger to be carrying around a failed subordinate. '

Even though Halloween was an American holiday, Tsuna adored this holiday for its creativity in dressing up, as well as its dark and spooky vibe. She decided to organize a Halloween party for her family and friends because nothing was better than having a good time with them. At least for a while they could forget their mafia duties and be just ordinary people dressed up as different characters from movies, series or fairy tales. Just go crazy.

Hostess Tsuna is looking forward to seeing you! The decor is spooky, and we have loads of food too. And scary-looking sweets and candies! ヘ(��。◕ヘ)🐈‍⬛🕸️🕷🦇🎃⚰️🔪🖤👻

Costume required!

OOC: Please tag all posts related to this party with Halloween Vongola Party. Thank you! 🖤

How do you feel about Lennox? — LENNOX&ONE

"Hrm? My opinion of The Music Teacher?" She stops what she's doing to curl her bottom lip up against her top lip. Her hands rest on her lapels, thumbs tracing quietly. She exhaled, eyes drifting towards the TARDIS controls. She seemed to have to pull herself from a zoning trance of sorts. When she arrived back to where she was supposed to be, a harumph left her features. "Oh! Why must you bother me with such— such suspenseful—" Wrong. "Suspen— s-s-senseless questions?" She sighed after her flub, but remained determinedly cross with the question, circling the console in a feverish frustration.

"What more could I say that hasn't already been said? Hm?" She shook her head quietly, "As if that remarkable woman needs any more deserved praise! I'm afraid that if you've reached me, you've hit the tap! Yes!" She declared, hands reaching down to flick and twist mindlessly at different switches and controls. "Were you hoping for some less than neutral opinion? Hm? Well, I don't have one!" She chuckled as if she had successfully outwitted the point of the question before she rested her hands on her lapels again.

"Yes! Yes. I quite enjoy her company, and I think.... the influence she has on Stella is one I'm very thankful for!" She taps her lapel with a firm determination in that opinion before it re-grips the lapel. "And she keeps me in check, else I would have throttled that ruffian she brought with her." A fist shake, "But..." Her face softened for a moment, her stare got distant. "... I believe... Miss Swarey keeps... us all in check." She looked down at the console for a moment.

"And I'm very grateful for that."

Dance - from goku!

Taken from meme: [x] ||Accepting|| @xcedia

Reborn and suggested to both Kyoko and Haru to learn how to dance in the off chance there was a need to go to a formal event. The former had some experience with dance, and she had a brother at home to help her practice, so she was learning at a quicker pace than Haru was.

Haru Miura was the sort who had to move her body in order to learn rather than relying on her imagination. She preferred to commit things to muscle memory, so Reborn deemed that she’d fair better with a partner to dance with instead of being shown how the dance steps went.

What she didn’t expect was that the partner that Reborn called in for the occasion was the Storm Guardian himself. He motions for her to dance, and she goes through the motions to accept his request for a dance, and she approaches him, placing a hand on his shoulder and the other in his hand.

She listens to Reborn instructing her from the side, being mindful of each of Gokudera’s movements, trying her best to not step on his toes. She doesn’t want to give him a reason to say something rude to her like having heavy feet or being so clumsy that she’ll never learn how to dance properly. Haru has her clumsy moments, but she’s able to perform fine when she puts her mind to it!

In fact, she does better when she’s put on the spot! She didn’t place as an actual member on the Gymnastics team during her school years for no reason. She’s a seeded member and is capable! Hmph! Reborn makes a comment about how she needed to stop staring at the floor and trust in her partner to lead her properly. She had to entrust herself to her partner and follow his lead and it was solely on him to take them to the end of the dance.

She’s nervous, looking at Gokudera with unease as she was a very self-reliant person who usually didn’t like having to resort to relying on others. Understanding that Reborn wouldn’t have brought Gokudera to help her learn if he didn’t have the skills to lead properly, she relaxes and she nods her head. "Sorry in advance if I step on your toes." They resume their dancing and she locks her brown eyes with his green ones, allowing him to take the lead, moving her across the floor in any which direction he felt like taking.

It's not long before she notices that they’re moving along with the beat with the song, and there seems to be some kind of a pattern with the way he moves them across the dance floor. “You’re good at dancing, I’m honestly impressed.”
