#and hornet man with snake man

[dwln-22]

Sorry to bug you but can you draw jewel man plz?

Gemini man has beef with him for no reason...he's just a hater at heart

[cak3o]

adding to this with lil headcanons

short metalman?! yeah. him being like. Third shortest of the 2nd bots is important to me. Everyone is still so scared of him though.

jewelman is tall. I talked about how hornetman is second tallest, jewel man is a close third.

I'm a huge fan of topman being the absolutely normal guy of the 3rd group. He's not boring, just has a good head on his shoulders and will stop snakeman from kidnapping toadman for the 8th time this week

sparkman is delightful and very wonderful to be around. He makes great conversation and is very helpful please give him hands

diveman!!! and pirateman!!! hate each others asses....but what if

plantman being super melancholic is everything. constantly talking to flowers and just letting out deep sighs. lil guy whats on your mind I'd be more than happy to listen.

I think i need to add hornetman/tornadoman to my ship list because they also have my heart at the moment...i read comic where tornado protected hornets flower park from a storm....and ive never been the same

In my head, Roll was specifically made to be a lab assistant and Rock was made to do house chores. Roll knows a lot of Lights secrets and projects. Rock was straight vibing with his Swiffer until the day

Fireman and Elecman aren't home a lot, their jobs are kinda an all day thing so when they get days off and time away its always very special. The rest of the bots are always happy to greet them when they get home

The thirds have a lot of hobbys. Also. Need images of them exploring distant planets together. They are such a quirked up bunch they would never get bored.

I could writen extensively on how i perceive the FireElec ship and how it develops. I'll save that for another post tho.

okay thats enough

I see and understand the diveman appeal.

Actually while we're here I'm just gonna name drop other robots I really love:

HORNETMAN. I've loved his design since I was a kid, its just so. Everything tbh. Love that he's always drawn as like the 2nd tallest from his group too. His cool visor paired up with him....watering flowers and taking care of bees? Peak.

Airman! I love his design so much, I've always thought it was fun that he really was mostly just fan. Also love drawing him hanging out with crashman. He seems really serious, which is very cute for a man who is mostly a fan.

I don't know why but I do experience real human joy when I see magnet man. Something about about him sparks joy idk.

I adore all the Cossack bots. Especially bright and toad. So round, so cute.

Been slowly falling for junkman. Ever since I read that he's just a really awkwardly serious guy who is passionate about recycling my brain hasn't been the same. Also a big fan of how gigantic he is.

We make jokes about the megaman 8 voice acting but I really like what they did conceptually with searchman

Absolutely adore tundramans voice

Here's my piece for the @mcspirkevents Big Bang! I was paired with the excellent @twinkboimler and their fic Jim Kirk's Guide to Delivering the Goods, which you can find here (E, AOS McSpirk, 60k)

Summer just started, and Jim is bored out of his mind. The courses he needs to take aren’t being offered until the second half of the summer, so he has an entire month to bother his roommate Bones. At Bones’ suggestion to get a job, Jim fixes up a motorbike and starts making deliveries to people in town, including a cute Vulcan professor named Spock. But when Jim is beaten up while making a delivery, it’s Spock who delivers Jim back to the apartment he shares with Bones. After the meet-cute from hell, Spock and Bones start dating… and so do Jim and Spock. With neither roommate aware they’re both dating the same man, there’s only so long that things can go well for them before the other shoe finally drops.

Also as part of my Big Bang offerings, I made a fic playlist (below) — partly a love letter to McSpirk, partly a love letter to myself and Fletcher's overlapping music taste.

Thank you again to Fletcher @twinkboimler for working on this project with me, it's been an absolute joy!

Old Old Fashioned | Josh Ritter (Frightened Rabbit cover)

Oh let's get old fashioned Back to how things used to be If I get old, old fashioned Would you get old, old fashioned with me?

[cyber-corp]

The way Big Boss/Naked Snake is introduced in Metal Gear Solid 3 is incredible yet ridiculous. People who played the games before it had absolutely no clue who or what Big Boss was like in his prime, and the moment the man sees a hornet’s nest above a soldier he makes this face

Pure deviousness in his eyes.

[cazzyf1]

"By about four-thirty a.m. Mike (Hawthorn) and I had negotiated the stairs and had finally reached our landing. We were debating whether to tip Peter Collins out of bed or not when Sculati, our team manager, came along carrying a suitcase: he was on his way to the airport to fly home to Italy. As he went by he splashed us with some water out of the fire bucket. This gesture gave Mike a foul idea; he picked up the bucket, emptied it over my head, and then ran to his room laughing in a rather idiotic way. I stood quite still for a moment or two while the water formed a pool on the carpet beneath me. Then I saw that just above where the bucket had hung was a fire hose, and a little further down the corridor a large wheel, the turning of which would send water rushing through the hose. I felt positively evil. Carefully I connected the hose to the main. Then I unrolled it down the corridor as far as the door of Mike's room. I noticed with satisfaction that the door was not quite shut. He was still laughing. I nipped back to the wheel and turned it. My surprise at what happened next was only exceeded by Mike's. The hose became alive, and snaked off down the corridor like a great cobra. The nozzle banged on the door as if demanding entry and then thrust everything aside and shot into Mike's room. He was about to put on his pyjama legs and had paused for a moment when he heard the knock on his door. The next moment his pyjama legs were up against the wall and he was flat on his back, bowled over by the jet of water that had suddenly entered his room. The hose went quite mad as the pressure built up and the nozzle whizzed round the room like an enraged hornet. It shot the pictures off the wall, the blankets off the bed, and managed to give Mike a couple of fourpenny ones as well. He scrambled out of the room and ran out nude down the corridor to the wheel and, using all his strength, he was a big fellow, jammed it full on. By now everything was out of hand: water was running from his room both up and down the corridor, and angry voices were demanding what was going on. 'We must put the nozzle out of a window, I said. He nodded and, our feud forgotten for the moment, we raced back to his bedroom. He managed to get hold of the nozzle but could not control it and found himself in the corridor with water shooting everywhere.

I could see that he would not be able to get back into his room so I tried the door of another bedroom hoping the window would be open. Unfortunately the maiden lady who was in occupation had not expected to be awakened by a nude man carrying a firehose, and she screamed so much Mike had to come out. I opened another door which turned out to be the bedroom of a friend of ours. As it happened he was not alone; neither were he and his friend sleeping. They were quite unprepared for the onslaught that followed. Mike charged in, desperately trying to control the nozzle. A jet of water whipped the bedclothes off the bed and deposited its occupants on the floor. Mike pressed on and finally dropped the nozzle out of the window. He then picked up a sheet, wrapped it round his body, and, looking rather like a Roman senator, walked majestically back to his room." - p241/2

Do you know what the biggest lie ever told in one piece is?

"There are only 5 devil fruits that can fly"

I mean Pell sounded cool when he said it but it has gotten worse over time with every devil fruit that appears.

Let's go down the list from least to most ridiculous DF users who can fly.

ACTUAL BIRDS:

-Pell [Bird Bird fruit: Model Falcon]

-Marco [Bird Bird fruit: Model Phoenix]

-Morgans [Bird Bird fruit: Model Albatross ]*

*Morgans is flightless in his hybrid form, but Albatrosses can naturally fly for long distances*

-Buzz [Bird Bird fruit Model eagle]**

**Buzz is a noncanon character from the movie One piece strawhat chase. He is a dog**

OTHER FLYING ANIMALS:

-Cub [bug bug fruit: Model rhinoceros beetle]

-Bian [bug bug fruit: Model hornet]

While bugs are known for crawling, these two tontatas have DFs who's species can naturally fly.

-King [Dragon Dragon fruit: Model Pteranodon]

Flying is the only natural thing that King does with his fruit. All the fire stuff is unique to King

-Kaido/Momonosuke [DF NAME UNKNOWN]

Momo can fly by summoning clouds and walking on them but dragons appear to have the innate ability to fly as shown with Kaido

BIRD BY TECHNICALITY:

-Toragatsu [Bird Bird fruit Model: Nue]

Torgatsu is a noncanon character from the One Piece x Kyoto art show. The nue is a chimera like creature from Japanese folklore that has the body of a tiger, head of a monkey and a snake for a tail. Alternatively it can be described as having the back of a tiger, the limbs of a tanuki, the tail of a fox, the head of a cat, and the torso of a chicken. It is a bird fruit because the name Nue also refers to the scaly thrush bird that the chimera mimics. Torgatsu can fly by summoning rainbow colored flames.

LOGIAS:

All known logia users [with the exceptions of Aokiji, Akainu*, Blackbeard &Caribou ] can fly via elemental propulsion. [*Akainu is in a different category]

-Ace/Sabo [flame flame fruit]

-Smoker [plume plume fruit](smoke)

-Crocodile [Sand sand fruit]*

*the presence of these 3 fruits alone in alabasta immediately invalidated Pell's statement*

-Kizaru [glint glint fruit] (light)

-Enel [Rumble Rumble fruit] (Lightning)

-Caesar Clown [Gas Gas fruit]

-Monet [Snow snow fruit]

PARAMECIA SHENANIGANS

-Shiki [Float Float fruit]

man can just straight up fly

-Trafalgar Law [Op Op fruit]

-Fujitora [Press Press fruit]

-Eustass Kid [Magnet Magnet Fruit]

The above manipulate their environment to create platforms that they ride on.

-Big Mom [Soul soul fruit]

Can use her soul to create constructs that she rides on

-Perona [Hollow Hollow fruit]

Can fly by turning herself into a ghost.

-buffalo [Spin Spinf Fruit]

Can fly by helicoptering his body parts.

IS IT FLYING IF I DON'T TOUCH THE GROUND?

-Akainu [Mag mag fruit]

Has been shown to use his magma to propel himself short distances but hasn't shown the ability to fly

-Magellan [Venom Venom fruit]

Can create pathways of poison that allow him to fast travel around impel down

FLIGHT BY TECHNICALITY

-Buggy [Chop chopper fruit]

his body parts can Float around within a certain radius of him, excluding his feet.

DOESNT COUNT AS FLYING

-Ms. Valentine [Kilo Kilo fruit]

Reducing her weight to 1Kg allows her to jump really high into the air and slowly fall down

??????

Karasu [DF UNKNOWN]

Can turn himself into a murder of crows and fly.

SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO FLY AT ALL

-Doflamingo[string string fruit]

He flies by spidermaning his way through the air, sticking his strings to clouds

-Robin [flower flower fruit]

Grows several dozen arms that she fuses into a pair of wings

-Luffy [Gum Gum fruit]

Gear 4. Contracts and expands his legs with so much speed and force that it generates thrust.

There are probably some others that I missed but these are the major ones for where you are.

This a really cool categorization and also

Perhaps it was meant that only 5 DF like actually come with wings and the other ones just elevate their powers to do all that crazy shit

Or perhaps is further evidence Oda makes it all up as he goes along (most likely lol)

[askslenderverseau]

So, because I havent had time to get more work done on drawing reference sheets for the characters for this series so instead I will leave some descriptions of them until i can get to drawing them.

Jay: Jay’s skin is paler than normal and he has some white streaks in his hair after being brought back to life. He wears his old hat and a grey hoodie, as well as some torn jeans and some sneakers. He also has a large scar on his abdomen where he was shot by Alex. On his back is a marking of a circle with an x through it. 

Tim: Tim has slightly longer hair and has facial hair similar to how he did in the end of marble hornets. He wears his old red flannel that's a bit more faded and some black jeans and boots. On his back is a marking of a circle with an x through it. 

Brian: Brian has paler skin than normal and white streaks in his hair from being revived. He wears a worn and paler version of his beige/yellow hoodie and black torn jeans and some sneakers. He has many scars across his body and on his back is a marking of a circle with an x through it. 

Alex: His hair is longer than before and he has a bit of scruff on his chin. His skin is paler and his hair has white streaks in it from being revived. He still wears his glasses and a black and white version of his striped hoodie as well as some dark blue jeans. He has a large scar on his neck from being killed and has a circle with an x on his back like the others. 

Redlight: tan skinned man wearing a deep red cloak with devil horns, he wears a red mask with red streaks running up the side and an evil grin. On the forehead the operator symbol is marked. Under the mask he has a snake bite piercing, and black eyes with red iris. His teeth are also sharp especially his canines. His hair is also a deep maroon color, and his lower arms and hands are corrupted and look more like monster claws. 

Greenlight: pale skinned man, wearing a deep green cloak and a mask that resembles a lamb, also having the operator symbol on the forehead. His eyes are stunning green and his hair is a dirty blonde color. 

[dunaldoodles]

The scrimblos. Are they eating enough? Getting enough sleep?

Food? Depends on who you ask.

Vessels are capable of digesting just about anything, since the hungry Void of Hallownest breaks down anything consumed into more Void, or shoves harder materials like metals and stones into their shells. The twins are eating well, even though Shadow is a super picky eater, because they can quite literally eat the walls. Just like snakes, if they can fit it in their mouths, its fair game.

Shadow typically doesn't get much sleep, but they don't really need to. Voidlings don't require the same things normal bugs do, or even other gods. Ardent, however, is severely weakened from their time in the Black Egg, and is always pretty tired. They love taking naps under the stairs or in small, enclosed spaces! They probably get the best sleep out of anyone, even if they don't want to.

Hornet is INCREDIBLY malnurished. She is deficient in every vitamin and is also a picky eater. This doesn't help her at all. She puts others before herself more often than not, and has to almost be forced to eat her weekly meals.

She... rarely sleeps. She rarely feels safe enough to. She sometimes needs to be forced to sleep, and oftentimes just putting her in a cool, dark place will get her to pass right out. Her sleep is always fitful.

Tiso is RAVENOUS. My mans LOVES food. Particularly lesser bugs and pollen if he can get his claws on it! Ant-like beetles are omnivorous!

He's also the one who usually convinces Ardent and Hornet to actually get some rest, and the latter to eat a proper meal. Though convince MIGHT be a bit of a strong word...

Wings of Fire Dragin Guide, Part Five: HiveWings and SilkWings

This is a HiveWing, or hive dragon. They have red, orange, and/or yellow scales, but always have some black scales on them as well. They are distantly related to SilkWings. Their powers can range from wrist/tail/claw stingers, the ability to shoot some stingers and regrow them, venomous fangs, paralyzing toxins/boiling acid/pain-inducing venom and possibly more unexplored options. They have four dragonfly/wasp-like wings, and live in the Hives across the savanna (now partially forest) continent of Pantala. Their diet consists of zebra, gazelle, birds, snakes, sharks, fish, as well as apples,, cinnamon, honey, nectar, confectionery, and coffee and tea.. They are named after different insects except for moths and butterflies, such as:

Social insects (Hymneoptera): Wasp, Hornet, Yellowjacket...

Beetles (Coleoptera): Scarab, Weevil, Chafer, Bombardier...

Orthoptera: Cricket, Grasshopper, Katydid...

Auchenorryhncha: Cicada, Treehopper...

Larvae/Worms: Rootworm, Glowworm, Inchworm...

Arachnid: Vinegaroon...

Other insects: Mantis, Earwig, Aphid, Dragonfly...

This a SilkWing, or silk dragon, or butterfly dragon. They can be any color and shade except black, are distantly related to HiveWings, and are iridescent. They hatch with wingbuds, as they will go through Metamorphosis, where they spin a Chrysalis and form their wings like a butterfly or moth, at age six. They also inherit their silk glands and silk spinning abilities after this, but can sometimes have flamesilk, which can glow, burn, and be made of fire, but it is extremely rare. They are vegetarian, so they eat things such as tangerines, kumquats, persimmons, garbanzo beans, kale, AZ well as honey, nectar, and confectionery made in the Hives. They were once second-class citizens, until Queen Wasp was defeated and everyone was free from the Othermind (a hivemind-esque thing made up of one small evil plant, an insane *sshole of a human who is the reason the humans were almost wiped out by the dragons, and one of the dragon eggs he stole, which is the dragonet from the egg). (Yes, the Scorching, which is their event that formed the dragon tribe and world as we know it, is because this freaky little jerk of a man stole dragon eggs, thus causing other human kingdoms to do so. So the dragon parents banded together and literally scorched the world to the the ground. Then they chose the first dragon queen, and the tribes formed over the next few hundred years after...) SilkWings are named after butterflies and moths, such as:

Butterflies: Monarch, Blue, Swordtail, Fritillary, Tortoiseshell, Admiral, Heliconian, Argus...

Moths: Luna, Io, Tussock, Cinnabar, Orange, Festoon, Lappet, Burnet...

[erischeatsdeath]

bullet train moments i 🫶 adore part 3

[part 1/2]

-the white death saying, "i will look into your eyes as i kill you. and your brother," and shocking tangerine into silence even after his vulgar "your son and your money" speech. tangerine just mournfullly muttering, "my brother.." the childhood flashback?? what if i cried.

-"it's my bad luck-- it's bad luck on acid."

-the white death playing russian roulette. shigeru staring into the barrel of the gun knowing he's lost.

"what's your plan, mate? you gonna fucking waltz up in here and blow my brains out in front of this whole fucking carriage of-- witnesses!" and then turning around to find the whole train empty 💀

-ladybug CONSTANTLY shit-talking carver. "carver? you picked me second to carver? man, what an ego! calling in sick, what is this, high school? 😡 talk about a candidate for self improvement 🙄" "fuck this job! fuck carver!" "if you meet a guy named carver, he's a dick... tell him i said so."

-THE KIMURA NURSE ASSASSIN

-ladybug flushing the boomslang down the toilet with his jacket.

-lemon pointing the gun at prince and complimenting her acting skills 😭

-TANGERINE JUMPING ON THE TRAIN AND BREAKING THE WINDSHIELD. literally iconic.

-maria calming ladybug down after the hornet incident!! >>>

-"tell tangerine that.. tell tangerine.. tangerine.. he's got-- tangerine."

-the dramatic ass howling sound effect when ladybug says, "so the wolf was here to kill the hornet.."

-the little quirk in prince's eyebrows when she tells lemon, "just lucky, i guess"

-tangerine's disheveled, pissed off walk (channing tatum saying "god, he's got a great walk")

-"everyone.. loves lemons--" [fucking passes out]

-shigeru saying some serious shit into his phone thinking yuichi still has it only for ladybug to go "i think yuichi dropped his phone on the bullet train--" and tell him him about tangerine's find my phone app. then hanging up on him.

-"DON'T-- CALL ME-- BRO!!" being the last words of the scariest most dangerous crime boss in the world 😭

-ladybug stealing the wolf's knife and using it to save lemon <33

-"oh, the cat's out the bag now, innit?" [...] "you know, i don't know a thing or two about being a parent, but you know what i would do? being that it's your son, and your money, i'd stop crying about your dead wife, get off your fucking lazy arse, and finish the job yourself. but now that we're having a little heart-to-heart, i've got a couple things to tell ya! your sons a complete bellend and he fucking deserves to be bleeding out of his eye sockets. and as for your case, i have seen it since tokyo, and i hope someone's found it, put it all on red, and is having a fucking wonderful time!" "i will meet you at kyoto station." "oh, how fucking wonderful, i can't wait!

-THE PART WHERE LADYBUG GETS BIT BY THE BOOMSLANG. LADYBUG FLAILING AROUND SCREAMING?? shigeru blankly watching and prince going, "... was that a snake?"

-the shot of shigeru at the station waiting for the train. he's so badass actually.

-everyone saying cool one-liners before/after kills (or attempts) and ladybug just saying dumb shit like "let this be a lesson on the toxicity of anger.." and a defeated, confounded "karma's a bitch--!"

-shigeru stopping when he hears the prince say "be honest" and remembering the voice on the phone. him sitting down next to them and ladybug being so confused and so exhausted.

-THE FUCKING WATER BOTTLE

-"we're on the wrong track!" and everyone-- ladybug, lemon, the white death's men etc.-- bracing as the trains collide. the whole sequence when the train is half-destroyed.

-i love the soundtrack, actually. just though i'd mention it.

-prince frantically running by ladybug going, "i'll fucking kill him myself!" and ladybug's "??"

{ 🎁 You rolled: Music!Verse Ben, Nowhere Man, the Revived }

Prince Street at the dusk of the gods. White peacocks perch clumsily on the cornices where pigeons once roosted, tumbling from streetlamp arms where they're too numerous , some hundred odd peafowl startling and darting off curbs and shaking their opulent, grassy tails in short stints of flight across the damp, opalescent pavement, roaming all over the great, howling zoo of lower New York.

The genteel cast iron dwellings bounded by Broome Street, East Houston (* Howston *), Crosby, and Howard twist into aureate wire gardens; the crumbling subway stations spit brimstone and steel shellings; long grey ghosts slog around cobblestone alleys, around Andrew Berman's reclaimed pillars, ashen and alive with hornets, and around the hairpin turn of Mulberry, where tonight the wooden slats of the old rows bloom under the pale rotten rind of the moon as they did 150 years ago when they were opium houses that glowed lavender in hazes of rain. 

Canal Street is a canal again roaring and teeming with rhapsodic bedlamites and snakes and the writhing arms of the defeated, ferried not through to a new year but a new age. An age of endings. An occasion to watch from some rich schmuck's Olympic-sized rooftop hot tub, among a New Year's Eve party's remains, the soggy corpses of all those silver paper horns and confetti crowns. Champagne flutes, thin and elegant, huddled on a soda glass end table, some still holding stale yellow broth. 

The Valkyrie takes an unopened bottle of Chianti and wades into the hot tub, lounges on the curved white steps, extending her toes in the cold, maple-checkered water, her gown billowing, moon glittery, and chlorine-green. She uncorks the wine bottle with her teeth. The plug bobs away on a moonlit current charged by her strong, shimmering legs. She beckons.

Ben studies her through long lashes, deep-set, furtive eyes hidden under a pergola's slatted shadows. 

"To what do we toast? Raising one dead on the day you decide to shuffle all us little guys off the mortal coil?"

Folds his broad arms and watches and waits, a towering enigma in smart, black wool torn beneath the shoulder and jacquard pants fit for a funeral under the rubble. 

"This is fun for you," he proclaims, feeling hard and hollow as the spoilt moon. "Look at you. Look at that smile. Fucking rude."

He hadn't known one could be homesick for death, how empty he would feel. Maybe the fallow ache will fade like jet lag. He trudges toward the stacked stone tub; the Valkyrie splashes water on his shoes. He mutters, "Qing qing," and wrenches the bottle from her feathered hand.

My words: Forest, hope, dream and night

Forest

The Time of Glass and Metal in Narul’s mind was a pseudo mythical time, in a past that was impossible to imagine preserved only in the stories told by poets and mothers. A glorious time, a time of beauty and radiance, but also a time of arrogance and impiety, brought to a crashing end by the intervention of the Divine. That such pieces of the past could still exist, scattered in the forest so close to where Narul had grown, filled the slave with wonder, and yet for reasons he could not place, it also twisted his stomach with an alien dread.

Hope

The warrior  appeared as if from the blood soaked dirt itself, one arm brandishing a spear soaked in blood, the other a shattered shield, a curved sword at his belt. Galatides threw himself at the Kishite warrior. Galatides’s bronze plates clanged and squealed as he was forced back by the flurry of blows that were rained upon him. The warrior was like a swarm of hornets, so quick and vicious in his attack that even mighty Galatides could not protect himself. The spear snaked around his shield with ease, striking between the joints and hinges of his protective coverings, so that soon the mercenary's armor seemed to run with crimson. Galatides’s companions could only watch, kept at bay be the whirling cyclone of bronze. When one tried to intervene he found the front of his  helm and his skull beneath, crushed by the rim of the invader’s shattered shield. As the Galatides stumbled and Zatar ripped the shield from his hand with such ferocity that the mercenary lost his balance and fell forward. Wadikir watched hope die at the end of a spear. Zatar’s spear shot beneath the mercenary’s chin, past the bronze helm and armor, no sooner had the first drop of the Korithians’s lifeblood hit the dust, then Zatar’s spear had ripped his weapon free of Galatides skull and sunk it into another man’s gut. The spearmaster was a raging storm of bronze and blood, inhuman in his speed and viciousness, cutting through the once resolute men like a scythe through wheat. Even his comrades were forced to give him a wide-berth lest they be caught in the slaughter. The spearman’s face, bespeckled with the droplets of ruby red was split into a wide grin, he was laughing. 

Dream

Narul winced, the hairs on the back of his neck stood on end, it felt as if something was slithering up his skin and through his hair, he clawed at his scalp and yet could find nothing. And then there was the pain, or at least the shadow of it, like that which is felt in a dream. He gritted his teeth and could feel something foreign in the back of his mind, coiling and prodding at his thoughts. He tried to drive it away, but it ignored his efforts. Images begin to appear in his mind’s eye, pulled from his own memories.

Night

As their trek continued eastward, the snow muffled the sounds of the night, the birds, and the yipping jackals and wild dogs. Occasionally something would move in the shadows, and Ninma's hand would creep towards the knife hidden beneath her linen skirt, but the shadows would then fade away into the darkness, nothing more than a bounding deer, a horned-rabbit, or a curious jackal.  As she gazed up at the stars stretching out in a seeming infinite carpet across the sable sky, Ninma broke the silence. " So, do you miss Datura?" Jani thought for a moment. " I miss some of the people. I don't miss the village itself though. I actually think Nituru is a bit nicer. How about you? Do you miss Labisa, the big city life?" " Sometimes. There isn't really anyone left there that I know, but I miss being a princess sometimes, or the idea of it I guess. I know that sounds dumb, but it's true. I wonder if one day I could do what Akard did...take back the throne, with less killing hopefully." Jani glanced at her. " You want to be a Queen?"
