From the earth, a vine shoots up and winds its way around the other's ankle with the intent to suspend him mid-air. Adrian emerges from the shadows, not unlike how this stranger has been traveling since his arrival. He reeks of something dark, destructive, and with the trail he's left behind it's safe to say he's a threat. Regardless, Adrian crosses their arms as if scolding an unruly child. "I don't know who you are or what you're planning but I suggest you do it elsewhere." @abyssl

He catches it in the corner of his eye - first, the movement, then: the shimmer.

The surprise of it catches him off guard. He forgets to be cautious, to be wary of this stranger who has approached so silently. He can focus on nothing but the soft sheen upon the man's skin, the glittering particles that dance back and forth. It's painfully familiar - were he to look down at his own hands, remove the gloves he now wears day and night, he would see it upon his own skin. There is no mistaking what it is.

The Primordial Sea.

Now the curiosity takes over - who is this man? How was it that he came to be touched by the Sea? He does not look Fontanian, but who is he to tell? He hasn't lived here for four hundred years.

"Can I help you?" He remembers then, to be cautious. His hand shifts, angles towards the sword he carries at his hip. There are traces of elemental energy about this person: a Vision user, he assumes, based on his experiences.

As he studies him, he recalls the story told to him of recent events, and he slowly pieces it together. What was the name of that prisoner, the Fatui? The one who escaped, who fought the beast-

@abyssl: ❛ you’re lucky you got away with only a scratch. ❜

a brief fleeting thought pierced the iudex's mind to just let out a laugh - akin to his far younger, more chaotic self. holding it back, he simply coughed into his gloved hand to surpass the urge to let out a laugh or wheeze. instead of laughing, vishap eyes narrow at the harbinger as he gripped his cane. humanity was always capable of arrogance, but the aura the eleventh had was one that almost drowned out the other qualities he had.

"is that so? tell me, mister tartaglia, your little outburst in my courtroom, do you know the full extent of how it came that way? i assure you, while you wish to fight me in every turn you can, i am simply the voice of the truth." it sounded hypocritical when he was the one to deliver the verdict, yet when the oratrice was the final voice, he knew he had to obey it. now, it was his verdict, and he had to try and fix the wrongs of the past.

"you were wronged by an archon, they sentenced you to spite those who look down upon you. whilst i do not fully agree with it, even now, i can see why you deserve some imprisonment for your less than favourable diplomatic skills as a snezhnayan representative in my land."

@abyssl liked for a starter ( open ) !

while  a  challenge  in  the  ring  was  a  welcome  change  to  his  routine  pace,  boxing  itself  was  something  that  he  could  not  rightly  dub  a  mere  hobby.  from  the  moment  he  had  first  spilled  blood  to  every  incident  within  the  fortress  that  had  required  a  firm  hand  to  intervene,  his  fists  had  been  tools  of  violent  suppression,  nothing  he  would  want  to  rely  on  for  harmless  relaxation.  after  all,  hobbies  were  meant  to  take  one's  mind  off  the  things  that  weighed  heaviest  on  one's  shoulders,  and  the  weight  of  his  gauntlets  had  long  since  become  one  half  belonging  to  necessity,  and  half  to  sin.  that,  of  course,  would  never  fully  deter  others  from  seeking  to  try  and  measure  themselves  against  him.

❛  flattering  as  it  may  be  that  one  of  the  fatui  harbingers  wants  to  go  toe  to  toe  with  me,  i'm  afraid  i'll  have  to  politely  decline.  ❜

“Here, try this.” Lumine held the spoon full of hot soup towards Childe to taste test, her other hand hovering just beneath it to catch any stray drops that might try and spill to the floor. “It's a dish from Liyue, so it's a little spicy.” Okay, maybe a bit more than a little spicy. But hopefully he wouldn't shy away from it simply because of that.

@abyssl

a sneeze, a runny nose, and a continuous grumble about the cold in dragonspine won't make things any better—aether is well aware of that. he also understands that he must complete this commission if he wants a warm bed and dinner for the night. however, his amber eyes catch sight of someone unexpected. what in all heavens is tartaglia doing in dragonspine?

for a moment, the traveler hopes that the harbinger hasn't noticed him yet, although the crunching noise of the snow would likely give him away. but then again... aether considers, this might be the perfect setup for a playful surprise attack. with a broad grin on his face, he stoops down to gather a generous amount of snow in his hands, skillfully molding the white substance into a snowball.

once content with its shape, he holds it out before launching the snowball at him, aiming for a direct hit on the harbinger.

beep beep! I'm late on this asdfkjlgh but I just wanted to say, furina is a wonderfully written character very dear to my heart, and it makes me SO HAPPY to see her in your hands. I love to see your thoughts on her, you capture so many of her facets. Your love for the character really shines through in your posts, and it's always a delight to see you've posted. I'm so excited to see more, keep up the wonderful work!

ah thank you so much for your feedback. it makes me happy that you feel like i'm doing her justice, no pun intended, because i truly try my best! i'm of the same mind as you are, there is so much to furina to explore, they have done such a phenomenal job with furina & i hope that her popularity will send to them a clear message that the fanbase will take a well thought out & written character over casual fanservice any day & will inspire them to invest more & more thought into the characters to come & the characters that have already been established. tackling their stories & lore such as cyno, eula, amber, lisa, heizou, beidou, & so many more!

thank you so much for humoring my posts, sometimes i worry i do them too often & that they don't make sense so this is really reassuring. i hope we get to interact soon, thank you again!

@abyssl :  18﹕ sender  comes  to  receiver  after  being  injured .

It's only a matter of waiting now.  They've done all they can for his injuries but the weight of the Abyss is ever present, woven into every vein, every muscle, down to his bones and the very fabric of his being.  It takes a toll no amount of healing can reverse.

But Childe is strong, in body and spirit.  That is why Foul Legacy has chosen him.  Although it cannot speak it can be felt with every touch and piece of flesh mended back whole.  It has a pulse, a will, a desire.  With time, a method has been found to placate the beast within in hopes it will allow his mortal form a moment of reprieve.

Days pass before a messenger brings news of the Harbinger's status.  Lady Saint-Clair abandons piles of books and research notes to rush through the halls of the palace.  Upon reaching the bedroom doors, the nurses already at his bedside move to make way.  Fatigue still clings to him but his eyes are open and steady and he still manages to smile that boyishly lopsided smile they've grown so fond of.  A wave of relief is felt and yet simultaneously the weight of their heart as it fills with warm emotion.

Settling down into the chair at Childe's bedside, the Saint is quick to regain their composure but as they reach to cradle his cheek in the tenderness of a palm their affection is unmistakable.  "No more trips to Fontaine for you."

@abyssl: "I got you something for your birthday!" The Harbinger plops himself on the edge of Neuvillette's desk and holds up a little painted otter figurine. "It's you! Haha."

please spoil neu on his birthday 2023

watching the harbinger sit on the edge of his desk, the iudex gave a cold stare as he places his papers down on the table. wanting to push him off, he held back the urge as he noticed the otter figurine and raised an eyebrow. taking it, he studied it and sighed lowly to himself. "does snezhnaya not teach you the difference between animals?"

What is something you want people to know right away about yourself?

How scared are you of people, compared to how scared they should be of you?

— @abyssl // Prompt: Anxious Munday

What is something you want people to know right away about yourself? That they shouldn't ever worry about messaging me or approaching me for interaction of any kind. Truly, I'm that person who will (as you, for example, have witnessed) slide herself into DMs over the most random things, and I'll speak to whoever it is with ease because we have so many things in common, which is love of characters, love of a game, love of dynamics, love of potential, all of these things. If I notice that you're someone who's liked my posts, and if I also like yours, you can take it to mean that I'm interested in writing with you, but also just chatting characters. Rest assured that I'm likely looking for something, some kind of 'excuse' to message you over/for because it's always easier, but if it takes long enough, then I'll just hop into your DMs most randomly, likely with something inherently silly to make you laugh or smile. Ultimately, I'm just a big goofball who wants to find people who love what I love as much as I love it, and then share in that. But also, I'm an introvert, so I understand perfectly well how anxiety-inducing it can be to start chatting with someone new, but it's likely because of that, that I try my hardest to make it easier for others.

How scared are you of people, compared to how scared they should be of you? To start, the latter is a ridiculous little tidbit, no one should be afraid of me as honestly, there's nothing whatsoever to be afraid of. I'm a 5'2 French lady who is absolutely feral about Liyue. Honestly, I'm not kidding, I was doing Baizhu's story quest the other day, and I was incoherently pterodactyl screeching at one of my friends on Discord. There was an absolute abundance of 'AAAAAAA's and 'eeeeEEEEeee's. Does that sound like someone to be scared of? And in that vein, I used to be intimidated and scared by people, but I forced myself to past it, mostly because I realized that if I allowed my own anxiety or my 'shyness' (that I've tried to shove into the ground despite my introversion) to prevent me from contacting people, that I would miss out on many good things, and many wonderful people that I've been lucky enough to meet and write with along the way. Every time I've pushed myself past that boundary, I've much more often than not, been rewarded, and so it's gotten me to a point where I'm no longer scared or worried.

A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)

V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)

A = Aftercare

Venti is okay with it up to a certain extent. If it's someone he's had regular flings with, he definitely enjoys cuddling after. It's when it gets more into the area of being taken care of that it gets more difficult.

To sum it up, you need to max out your relationship level for him to be happy to let you take care of him after (carrying him to a bath, cleaning, etc).

If it's just a one night stand, he doesn't care for it at all, he'll just want to either leave or sleep.

V = Volume

Ever the bard, Venti definitely performs in bed in that regard. He watches his partner to figure out what sounds they like the best, and he has a quick tongue in teasing them.

When he starts to get lost in it, though, he's more partial to a softer whining than loud moans. If it is someone who he really trusts, he'll bring out the more inhuman sounds, chirps and cries.

@abyssl:  ❝ this little village used to be as quiet as a dusty old tomb. ❞

"A little renovation can go a long ways, hm?"  Provided by the Fatui no less.  Like any business there is profit to be made in even the smallest decisions, but if done right both parties will benefit in the long term.  And Adrian much prefers doing business the right way, despite what the general public may believe of their organization.

The Saint and Harbinger stand at the entrance, looking out among the children at play and adults going about their day — a farcry from the village nearly abandoned years ago.  There's a particular house the Lady Saint intends to visit today, footsteps continuing along the destined path.  "You are aware a Lord Harbinger needn't have accompanied me to such a small town for such a small task?"

They are grateful nonetheless, eyes flitting towards the other with a certain warmth and familiarity beneath their reserved facade.  "Or should I presume you've some business to attend to here as well?"

[diiluvies]

"that cancels out..."

❝ Yeah, well, I'm double evil now. ❞
