#and all the guests going ''hmmmm I don't know about this one''

[undead-potatoes]

4, 5, and 9 for the tav game!!

Hey, hello, I am 86 years late

4. What hobbies does your Tav have? How did they acquire these interests?

Jay rarely had a proper chance to foster any hobbies in his life, usually deprioritized due to things like money, space, or free time. But if and when he has the chance, his hobbies include; - Bird watching. It's the only one he's been able to practice consistently, even if just very casually, as there are usually birds around no matter where he goes. It's a real treat once he's traveling up the Sword Coast though, since there's just a lot more bird varieties around than in Baldur's Gate (the companions will know a lot more about birds by the time they get to the city, whether they want to or not lmao). It started out as a fascination with the bird life around the grove where he did his training (he had never seen so many birds before), and was further spurred on by one of the druids there who taught him about the various bird species. As a parting gift he was given a book with some basic info on various birds, accompanied by some absolutely gorgeous illustrations, and it's one of his most priced possessions. He has tried to add to it over the years, but he was never really good at art and didn't want to ruin the book, so it's mostly just text past the original entries. It does however have quite a few amusing entries, as he talks to the birds and adds extra info about the things they tell him. I think he'll have an absolute hoot (😏) exploring the surrounding areas of Waterdeep, discovering all the new species he's only ever seen in text books, and seeking out the local libraries to see if they have any more information about them. And ofc, going on walks with Gale and infodumping about all the birds they see (it's okay, they take turns). (Fun fact, this is where he fell in love with Blue Jays, the namesake of his chosen name. Too bad he's more of a pigeon himself.) - Beer brewing. He had a few earlier attempts that failed, but this hobby really kicked off once he moved to Waterdeep with Gale. His whole thing is making brews using his knowledge of (usually poisonous) plants and fungi to give them some extra zing. Something that will kill you in higher dosages might just leave your tongue with a tingly sensation when used sparingly, which is fun in concept but uuuh might not always work out so well in practice. He keeps at it though, and finds his way to some quite tasty brews that won't kill you. Probably. I can only imagine the kinds of food Gale would cook up to pair with Jay's Fucked Up Brews™ for the ultimate sensory experience (like I just know he'd be into that stuff). The trub probably makes for some really interesting loaves of bread too. - Reading. He loves a good book, but rarely has the time to sit down and actually enjoy it. He'll get a few chapters in, then forget about it for 2 months, so when he finally gets back to it he might as well start over again. And that's how it takes you a year to read a singular book. - Puzzles. More of an honorable mention, but he enjoys solving little brain-teasers and puzzles (think crosswords, sudoku etc).

5. Did your Tav have any formal or informal employment? If yes, what was their job? If no, how did they make ends meet? How did they feel about it?

He has had a variety of jobs throughout his life, ranging from errand boy to working odd jobs for the guild - his druidic abilities made him exceptionally good at breaking in and out of places, spying on people, or doing sabotage in ways that were made to look like an unfortunate case of natural forces. The work wasn't always within his own moral comfort zone though, and he was gald to be free of it once he became independent. Keen eyes and a good memory, in combination with a myriad of contacts im the world of crime, made him quite good at finding specific items or ingredients, and he realized he could make a business out of it. By the time of BG3 he's been procuring and smuggling items around the city for the better part of 30 years, and he's well established as "the guy who can get you (almost) anything". In some ways it's not that dissimilar from his days in the guild, but much of his business is all above board, and he's free to turn down anything he deems too risky or immoral. It's a job he really enjoys, as he gets to meet all sorts of people, and sometimes travel to some interesting places (he's been to the Underdark on quite a few occasions). And ofc it's something he's good at! His general self esteem is not very good, but he knows he's good at his job; people wouldn't keep coming to him if he wasn't.

9. What was your Tav doing when they were taken by the mind flayers?

This post is already sooo long, and I have another ask with only this question, so I hope you don't mind me skipping this one here 🙏

From this Tav ask meme (Durge version)

[lazaruspiss]

Begging for jaydick headcanons because I'm also a Jaydick hoe 🧎‍♀️🧎‍♀️🧎‍♀️

where do i begin. horny? horny probably.

Dick bottoms like 90% of the time but as far as any dom/sub things go those two are the switches to end all switches. both need to be told they're a Good Boy while getting the soul fucked out of em and both need to dote on the other and remind them how much they like (love) them.

i think they'd also both have a bit of a sadistic streak, but Dick is the only masochistic one. i don't think Jason would be too big on being roughed up in a sexual context, i just can't picture it. no physical roughness, no particularly intense degradation, but that just means Dick has to get creative lol. though on the subject Dick also wouldn't /like/ feeding his own sadism.

i have a fair few sadist Dick thoughts based of off the times in canon where he hurts someone, recognizes that he enjoys it, and express at least some level of disapproval towards himself for feeling that way. no one really talks about how Dick does seem to, yknow, like fighting. not bc he's some angry violent asshole or bc it's violence for the greater good, but just bc it scratches the ever persistent adrenaline need in his brain.

hmmmm. Dick getting fed up with Jason being too thoughtful. we're gonna tread a tiny bit into projection territory but stick with me. when someone spends too much time being used by people or constantly shaping themselves around what others want it can kinda fuck up their head. when someone approaches without wanting that, without wanting them to shape themself around what they want, it can be a shock. Jason so aggressively wants Dick to be independent and true to himself that it's something they fight over, bc Dick's entire life has revolved around serving others and Jason can't just uproot all that by telling him his entire life is a lie and that he should reevaluate everything about himself and everyone around him. ok yeah im having flashbacks to the jaydick thing i wrote forever ago. (x)

they can both cook and take turns planning meals, with one making sure to call/message the other if they get busy with something so that they can adjust their plans around whatevers happening. i can also see cooking being a bit personal and intimate to them. Jason sticks to eating shitty fast food most of the time and never really cared about proper meals when he was on his own, but now he has someone to come home to. someone to eat with. he cares a lot about cooking well because he wants to show without words just how much it means to him to have Dick around. Dick has been shown to cook for people when they come over, so i think it'd just feel like basic courtesy to him. some sort of standard politeness to feed and welcome his guests if he can. he wears himself thin a lot of the time and doesn't tend to make an effort to cook when it's just him, but when he does cook he enjoys it. repetitive motions, straightforward instructions, relaxing sounds and smells, cooking is fun. seeing Jason gorge himself is also very heartwarming, and more filling than any meal.

theyd have a mutual agreement to, /if/ they have kids, raise them non-religious. between Jason "possibly catholic but also died and so it's complicated" Todd and Dick "my religion is Batman" Grayson, they really don't wanna pass on any of that to any theoretical kids.

on the subject of child rearing still: i think Dick would be against sending them to any kind of private school. he had a very not good time there and thinks that if theres gonna be a chance for their kid to be picked on either way than he'd rather not waste the money. if anything he thinks private school would be worse, because all those shitty rich kids know each other and each others parents and he'd really prefer his kid not being beat up and called slurs bc of who their parents are. he'd rather homeschool if their schedules allowed it but he recognizes that would be too impractical. Jason would have more mixed feelings, bc there can be a bit of an advantage in the long run from having gone to a reputable and recognizable school, but he also isn't sure it's worth having an argument about when chances are the kids gonna learn all the important stuff from them anyways. there is a very tense conversation to be had before enrolling their baby in kindergarten.

they have a few too many conversations about theoretically having kids for guys who don't have the guts to just go for it. waiting for an orphan to drop in their laps like theyre fuckin batman. idiots.

they're a bit worried about the Titans' reaction but the worst that happens is Wally giving an exaggerated sigh as he gives Donna her well earned 50 bucks. everyone saw it coming, and you two are hopeless. Wally is excited to be Dick's best man for realsies this time, and Jason is on the receiving end of a few too many shovel talks. by the time Roy gets to him it's turned into

Roy: yeah i dont need to say it do i. blah blah hurt him and ill kill you and all that. congrats on the boyfriend.

Jason: oh cmon, i thought you would at least have some faith in me.

Roy: bros before hoes, sorry man.

Jason: ... excuse me?

Gar's version of a shovel talk is just turning into a grizzly bear and doing the "ive got my eyes on you" gesture. anyways Bruce is invited to the wedding on the condition that his assigned seat is next to the Riddler and he has to pretend that Brucie has gotten real into riddles lately. he has to laugh at Eddie's jokes under the threat of never being allowed to contact Dick or Jason again. Jason suggested it bc he thought it would be funny, Dick rolled his eyes but agreed bc it means Bruce can't corner him to berate him about his life choices.

Alastor x Reader pt.6

A/N Oh my goodness! I didn't expect the story to get this much attention! Im going to do some sort of second story where Alastor and the reader are in hell. If theres no objections I'll also feature some helluva boss characters (just to advance the plot!)

I am very sorry for not updating! I went out of town, nearly broke my hip, got sick, and started a new job all in the last 2 weeks. I should be able to post once every three days now :)

Thank you to everyone reading the story! I love sharing my ideas and feel free to reach out if there are any stories you want to see!

TW-Animal Blood(?)

Chapter 7

You woke up in Alastor's arms. It wasn't on purpose! You both had agreed to split the bed, pride getting in the others way. Apparently, somewhere in the night you each reached for the other. Not minding the extra warmth, you fell back asleep. There was no point in moving away; you liked him, he was comfy, and kept you warm. The second time you woke up, the sun was bright and the bed was empty. Worried you checked the clock to make sure you hadn't overslept to open the shop. You had forty five minutes to get the store open. Not as much time as you would have liked, but also not anything too out of your range.

"Ah! My sleeping beauty, glad you're now awake!" a voice said from the doorway. Alastor? You thought he had left. "Come now! I have made us breakfast."

Alastor could cook. Breakfast tasted like it was picked up from a five star restaurant on the more expensive side of town. Over breakfast he told you that he was unable to leave such a beautiful person alone and you needed the rest from the previous night. He actually didn't leave you at all that day.

He sat talking with you in your shop keeping well mannered company. Alastor would never admit it, but he absolutely loved listening to you talk. He spent so much time talking on the radio it was nice to finally be listening to others. He never really cared for sewing but asked you questions about how you did certain things and complimenting your stitch work. He also would assist you while you worked; measuring, flipping things right side outing grabbing fabric as needed. He liked feeling useful to you and watching you work on something you were passionate about.

:Thank you so much for your help today Allie."

"Allie?" He tilted his head like a puppy hearing 'no' for the first time.

"Yeah! Like a nickname," you beamed at him. Alastor mulled the name over in his head before deciding it was okay when it rolled off your tongue and into his ears. No one else could ever be allowed to call him Allie aside from you.

"Hmmmm. Alright" He was at a loss for a nickname truly just wanting to call you his. "Why don't we go and fetch ourselves dinner. I know the most exquisite place!"

"that would be lovely!" Your demeanor was much calmer than your racing thoughts. First, Alastor had stayed the night and made breakfast. Secondly he spent the entire day with you. And now he wanted to take you to dinner! You felt like a romance character from the books you had read and heard stories of.

He had helped you close the shop, took your arm in his (it was the only way you two ever walked together) and he led the way to the restaurant.

It was a nice place with candles and flowers on the table. There was a live band playing softly to entertain guests as they dined.

Alastor was sweet and kind with you, he made excellent recommendations about what drinks to try and meals to order. You both split a cake together for dessert. The night was wonderful, absolutely perfect! The only thing that there you off was the way in which Alastor ordered his steak.

"Alastor!" you had whisper-yelled "that cow is so undercooked I can still hear it moo-ing in the fields. Do we need to have the waiter take it back for just a moment longer?"

"Haha oh no darling! I just enjoy my cut of meat like this. It holds so much more flavor!" You gave him a quizzical look swearing you had just seen blood dark as your wine pool on the plate.

When your night had come to an end, Alastor had walked you home and kissed your cheek. It had left you red and blushing thinking about it as you slept.

The next morning you had awoken ready to start your chores. You folded the blanket and pajamas that Alastor had borrowed and cleared a drawer for the items to reside in. Today you had a new activity you hadn't done in years.

You walked down the stairs leading to your shop and to the circular display table at the center of your shop. Grabbing the wilted flowers and vase you got to work and put them in your oven to dry them out. You loved keeping gifts, flowers were beautiful but difficult to keep but you made it work.

The entire day you were all that was on Alastor mind. He simply could not get enough of you despite spending the entire day together before. He was talking to his mother about the feeling and how he had never experienced it, unsure of what to do he was searching for advice. His mother was not helping the situation, she merely laughed at him. "Oh Al, why don't'cha go onna date together and court the poor thing!" What if you didn't like him back? What if he made a total fool of himself. His mother could sense his worries, "well whoever can put up with ya for a full day definelty doesn't not like you." She pinched his cheeks and went back to cooking for the both of them

||Drabble Summary||

It's been some time after Kisho brought back the little Possom like Raccoon curse spirit to the school. However, it seems things have gotten a bit bad after he did. What chaos has this little curse brought? read to find out.

||Warning||

~A little curse brat

~lots of yelling and cursing

~destruction might be present in this

||Muses in this drabble||

Taz Hellion, Kinie, , Daichi/Eito belongs to my friend and amazing rp partner@chunibyo-x-sorcerer that is a side blog owned by @demon-blood-youths

Ryomen Sukuna, Yuji Itadori, Megumi Fushiguro, and Nobara Kugisaki belong to Jujtusu Kaisen but also to me due to rping them as muses. While the same for Miko Yotsuya, yuria niguredou nd Hana Yurikawa from the anime series/manga series Mieruko-chan but also to me due to rping as them as muses.

((Note: This drabble will have heavy grammar mistakes and errors but this was written for fun. I hope you understand but also enjoy please.))

"So Taz, how have you been so far? We heard your still growing stronger by the day. We all still do miss you but we hope your well." Taz Hellion was speaking to her leader from the DBT: Van Ink the dragon. She's been doing the daily check up today seeing her in her dorm room.

"Hi Ink and I miss you too. I've been alright and still getting stronger by the day. Though, we are just having another day off though due to some things." she laughed a bit while sitting on her bed to look at the screen.

"Ah, I see. Well, knowing how training has been I believe that. Though, has anything new happened with you and the others?" she asked as Taz thinks about it.

"Hmmmm, not really. Though, some things have happened." Taz explains before she looks seeing a baby quoll near by rolling on it's back. The same one that Taz summoned when she became a toddler. However, their was another curse that was curled up in her lap happily.

"Uhhhhh wait, what is that?" Ink noticed to see the Possum racoon curse. However, she blinks to pet his head to smile.

"Oh this is Charlie. He's a curse that Kisho and Megumi found when on a mission. He tends to be a grumpy pants but he's not too bad." she said while petting him. The baby quoll nuzzles against her hand too as she was petting both of them.

"Wait..Kisho and Megumi found him? Though, he don't seem like a grumpy pants.."

"Trust me, he is. He tends to be a trouble maker." Taz said with a sweatdrop. But maybe she can explain.

~~~~~~~~~~

"So yeah! I figured if we bring him back we can teach him now to be nice!" Kisho was speaking to the others even the Principle Yaga who was seeing both Megumi and Yuji scratched up all over while Megumi was doing his best not to be angry.

"Uh huh........and your telling me this how? I thought the curse was with them during the time-"

"Lets just say we found it during the time we were shopping for Taz and Yuji. But Kisho figure it was a good idea to go and bring it back." he explains to see Yaga sigh.

"......"

"Please Mister Yaga. I'm sure he can be nice..." Kisho said only to see the curse hiss and hops on his face scratching his face again. Kisho screams in pain trying to stop it.

"WILL YOU STOP SCRATCHING MY FACE!? OW THAT HURTS! STOP IT!"

"........" Nanami, Yaga, and Gojo blinks to hear this but they were unsure on how this curse will be good. With a sigh, he looks to him.

"Fine. I guess you can prove it. You boys will just try to make our 'guest' welcome. Just....keep it out of trouble." he said.

"R..right.." Megumi said seeing Kisho rolling on the ground trying to get the curse off his now scratched up face.

"Ow..."

~~~~~~~~~~~

"Oh wow. So that curse named Charlie was like that?" Ink asked.

"Yeah but he don't mean to. Though, he seems to be friendly with the girls instead of the guys." Taz said still petting his head seeing the baby quoll now sleeping in her lap too.

"Charlie was either very scared when being found or maybe he was just unsure on what to do."she said but Taz keeps holding both curses to her.

~~~~~~~~~

As soon as Kisho and Megumi was given the order to keep a eye on the curse. He already caused some chaos. From the first day, he's been always biting and clawing at the boys who would take turns to it but it was after Taz and Yuji were back to normal. At first, Taz was shocked hearing this even Yuji was too when hearing this. But more when seeing the little curse.

"Why are you two so scratched up?" Nobara said but Kisho sighed.

"You don't want to know-Ow!"

"Sorry!" Miko said trying to put some medicine on the scratches of his face while holding a bottle, a cotton ball with tweezers.

"Well, even though you guys look like a mess..." Nobara sighed. "Though, has the little guy gotten used to his new home?" she asked.

"..Eh...in a way.." Kisho said remembering it shredding his clothes, trying to bit Eito. Their was times it sneaks off causing problems like attacking Megumi while he sleeps or jumpscaring. To Yuji being bitten and him scratching at his face. All Sukuna would do is laugh.

"Well you guys have got to try being more nice to it or...him?" she said.

"Well, it's more like a monster if that's the right word!" Megumi said annoyed with this curse hearing it hiss at him but he saw it glare at him before seeing Megumi holding him.

"Besides, we wouldn't have to worry about him if he stops biting me and the guys." he said poking his nose seeing veins showing till it chomps down on his hand. "OW! YOU FUCKING LITTLE-"

He sees him jump from his hands right into Taz's arms as she blinks to hold it. He hisses angry at Megumi, Kisho, and Yuji but nuzzles happily against Taz.

"Uhhhhhh....he seems to like you...." Miko said to Taz.

"HA!?!? THAT'S NOT FAIR!" Kisho said.

'Wow, I can't believe you brats are so scared of a little thing. You call yourselves sorcerers?!' Kinie said laughing at the boys even if they look to her trying to not say anything.

"You don't get it Kinie that THING hates us!" Yuji said.

'Yeah, no kidding!' she said bursting out laughing.

"I..I don't know how he likes me. I just met him.....but he does look cute." she said seeing him now trying to be cute before it looks to Nobara wagging it's tail.

"Huh, she's got a point. He looks more like a little kid than most." she even reaches to scratch it's head hearing a happy trill from it's throat. It even wraps the tail around her wrist hoping for more.

".............."

"You...that fucking little-"

"Easy Megumi, easy." Kisho said nervous seeing him wanting to destroy that little beast.

"How can I!? Why did you think bringing him back was a good idea!?" he said grabbing Kisho by the shirt who yelps.

"I thought he would be added as a new member like Wilson!" he said in a panic.

"SERIOUSLY!?" He said only to see the cruse being petted by Nobara, Taz, and Yuria. Miko was just done with fixing Kisho up before seeing the curse hop and lands in her arms. She squeaked seeing him nuzzling her cheek.

"H..hello there little guy.." she said being carefully while even Eito, Wilson, and Anaconda was curious he only keeps being happy with the females but he seems to be alright with them too.

'Oh this little jerk!' Kisho thought only for him to still be admired by the girls. He even walks over to glare at it. "How come your so nice with them and not us!? Why be a little brat!" he said only for the curse to hiss and chomp down on his hand again.

Kisho twitched only to yelp out in pain from the bite as he rolls on the ground from the pain. Megumi and Yuji sweatdrops even seeing Eito looking at him with a deadpan expression.

"Now now, I'm sure he didn't mean it.." Yuria said.

"Oh he did! I'll get you for that!" Kisho said with tears in his eyes even if the curse hisses at him but goes to nuzzling Taz happily calm again.

"I..I think we should give him a...a name right?" Miko asked seeing the girls agree.

"Hmmmm..true. So...what should we name him?" Nobara asked.

"....How about Ross?" Yuria said seeing the curse shaking his head.

"Mark?" Nobara said seeing him shake his head.

"..St...steve?" Miko said seeing him shake his head. Taz thinks a little but she blinks to look.

"How about Charlie? Is that okay?" she asked to see him blink but nod as he goes to hop in Taz's arms to lick her cheek. She blinks holding him.

"So Charlie hmm? Alright then, we'll call you Charlie!" she said as the girls were happy. However, the boys were shocked seeing this. That sneaky little punk got the girls to love him! However, when doing so, he shows a snickering grin from the girls to the guys who was seething right now.

~~~~~~~~~

"Ohhhh now I get it. Wow, he must cause a lot of trouble around don't he?" Ink asked.

"Hmmm, In a way but he's not bad. He's just a little curse. It's just like Wilson when he was taken out due to be cursed. So I think Charlie will be fine. The other shikigami get along with him. I don't know why he don't get along with big brother and the others though." she mutters wondering about it.

"Well, I'm sure in the future they will get along. I do want them to be happy even with this little guy. Mr. Yaga already made a cute plush for him too so it means he's part of the family now!" she smiled looking at the two sleeping shikigami.

"Speaking of them, where are the guys?" Ink asked.

"Ehhhh they said something about doing some cleaning work around school. I'm sure they will be done before lunch later." she said. This made Ink blink wondering what happened but she gets the feeling it involved Charlie.

Meanwhile with them, they had to clean the classroom due to Charlie's rage so they were cleaning it up before Megumi was brushing something away.

"You know, maybe it was a bad idea to bring him here.." Kisho said only to get bonked on the head hard by Megumi leaving a swollen lump. "OW!"

"YOU THINK!?" he shouted shaking his fist. "I TOLD YOU WE SHOULD HAVE EXORCIST THE CURSE BUT NOW BECAUSE OF THIS HE'S STUCK WITH US!" Megumi said.

"I SAID I WAS SORRY! I DIDN'T KNOW! I THOUGHT HE WOULD BE NICE LATER IN THE FUTURE BUT WE WILL HAVE TO KEEP TRYING WON'T WE?!" he said only for Megumi's eye to twtich.

"He's right. Maybe we just got off on the wrong foot. I'm sure he will be nice....if we try." Yuji said. Moments later, Yuji and Kisho were running out of the classroom with bunnies chasing them.

"COME ON MEGUMI!! WE WERE JUST SAYING!" Yuji said scared as he ran.

"YEAH, THAT'S NOT FAIR!!"

"GET YOUR ASSES BACK HERE!!" He shouted chasing them as Kisho and Yuji runs off screaming for their lives. However, they will be sure to finish up the cleaning and maybe think of a way to get better with knowing Charlie. Maybe.

15 Questions 15 Mutuals

Tagged by @lost-and-cused 💛

Are you named after anyone? Yes, a musician my mother met in Russia!

When was the last time you cried? Huh. I think like, two months back? Trigun '98 episode 23. If you know you know. (I am wrapping u up in a blanket.)

Do you have kids?  Nope! I think I might like to be a foster parent someday, though, once I have the money and the time do it properly.

Do you use sarcasm a lot? I- huh. I was gonna say yes, but honestly, not much in the last few years? I used to be so snarky and biting, like, all the time. It must have been really exhausting for the people around me. Now I think mostly it's just when I'm venting. Wild!

What sports do you play/have played?  I dunno if it's a sport if I don't compete but I enjoy martial arts! I do BJJ sometimes but I'm not very good at it, it's just for fun. Oh, and I was on a basketball team for a couple years, but I'm 5'3" and still don't know the rules so I think I was mostly just just for the body count, lol

What's the first thing you notice about other people?  Demeanor. Are you calm or tense? Loose or tightly-wound? Are you likely to explode if you encounter a perceived obstacle? Are you agreeable and easygoing? Or are you pent-up and raw and itching for a fight?

God, I don't think people realize how visibly LOUD they are when they're unhappy.

Some people are like music, moving along to their own little beat or tune, and then a heavy, harsh note walks in and you just KNOW they'll fuck up the rhythm if you brush too close. It's wild. Are they aware of it? Do they care? Who knows.

What's your eye colour?  Brown! Sorta like.... hmmmm. #622a0f in the middle, with a darker ring around the outside. (Never did relate to the 'brown eyes are boring' gang, always liked mine too much. Then again, I was the only one in my family with brown eyes, so maybe it was that.)

Scary movies or happy endings? Scary movies WITH happy endings? But no, actually, I hate watching horror movies. I LIKE them, I think a lot of them are very good and it's an underrated genre, I just. Don't enjoy being scared. Or sad.

Any special talents?  I'm an artist- I enjoy watercolor, acrylic, and India ink as painting mediums, I'm rather good at realistic stippling, I'm decent at identifying animal bones, I enjoy sculpting and sewing and needle-felting, I'm finally at a point where I like to read my own writing, I enjoy interior design and have been told I'm good at it, I'm a pretty good cook, and I've been told I'm a decent singer! I can also fold incredibly tiny origami cranes, and pick up on new languages well enough for simple use.

And I be far more proud of any number of these things if I did them a little more often.

As it is, I sleep a lot.

Where were you born? British Columbia, Canada!

What are your hobbies? Lord, too many. I'm actually sewing a new battle jacket right now, and animating a short video. Also writing fan fiction. And reading! And I like to collect antique books and handmade ceramics and theater masks. And go antiquing. And I'm still learning to knit? Hhhhhhhhrrrrnnggfn I wish I could have a year off to just. Do things. I wanna take a pottery class! And do metalwork again!! I used to love making chain jewelry. Oh, I do beadwork sometimes! And paint! And I'm sloooooowly designing a guest room. Bfyvxuhfhgtjggjhgyu

Do you have any pets? Yes! Big baby bird cat. He lives out of the country now, though.

How tall are you? 160cm!

Favourite subject at school?  Art. And Metalwork. And Psychology. And Literary Analysis. (And lunch break.)

Dream job?  Okay so imagine this: There's a VERY rich eccentric hell-bent on accumulating strange art, and by some miracle they are both mentally stable and not a gigantic dickhead. They travel a lot and don't really enjoy socializing so I don't have to kiss their ass.

Twice a month I receive an automatic deposit into my bank account and in return, all they want is a reasonably steady continued production of literally whatever art. Portraits, statues, robotics, ceramics, conceptual shit, costumes, carvings, literally whatever.

And they'll cover educational expenses for it all so I can go back to college and learn screen printing and 3D animation and use the kiln and shit forever and ever, and take up apprenticeships at tattoo parlors and volunteer as a face painter and pick up photography, and just create as much beauty and love and confusion and joy as I possibly can forever and ever and ever until I die.

And I'll have enough money to own my own apartment that I'll paint in all my favourite colors, with murals and everything, and have a cat who I will of course spoil rotten, and maybe adopt a few weird and goofy kids who'll have sleepovers with their friends in the living room and play new bad music that I pretend to hate, and when they fuck up and do stupid shit like kids do, maybe I'll handle it better than my adults did.

And maybe if they like making stuff too, I can make stuff with them. And maybe I'll get to see them do it better than me. And maybe I'll get to see them do everything better than me. And maybe they'll be happier, too.

So, uh. I guess I'd like to be an artist. A sugar baby-artist? Sugar baby artist combo. I'd like to have a patron is what I mean. A sponsor. Yeah

Sengoku Cat Cafe (3rd party characters edition)

This is a translation of the bonus cat POV (!!!) stories that are from the castle gacha I got the above image from. There are 3 stories:

3rd party (starring Funiko ≽^•⩊•^≼, a cute little black kitten)

Kasugayama (starring Joururi /ᐠﹷ ‸ ﹷ ᐟ\ﾉ, a classy calico lady)

Azuchi (starring Kabutomaru /ᐠ ˃ ⤙ ˂ マ Ⳋ, a tough and proud tuxedo boy)

3rd party faction story

(This is a tea shop near Sakai port. Funiko's new home.) (The grandpa who owns this shop just adopted me.) (I'm this shop's maneki-neko, I guess? Anyway, it's time to work today!)

Kicho: I knew it. So this was the store Mai was talking about.

(Ah, it's Mr. Merchant!) (Funiko remembers him from last time, when he came with one of his subordinates.)

Funiko: Meow.

Kicho: ...You look like you're doing well.

(Now that I look closer, he looks like a kind person...)

Motonari: ! What are you doing here... Don't tell me you were taking her seriously...

Kicho: ...Isn't that what you're doing here yourself?

(Hmmm? 'Her'? Who do they mean? What are they talking about?)

Kennyo: This is the place she was talking about... Ah.

Motonari: You too, huh.

Kicho: We're bothering the other guests. Let's head inside first.

Kennyo: It does seem quite crowded, true.

Motonari: There's only one empty table back there.

Kicho: We've got no choice, then. We'll sit together.

Motonari: A "cat cafe", huh. The hell's so good about a place like this anyway...

(Eep, this person is a little scary, maybe...)

Kicho: Motonari, you're scaring the kitten. Don't be too forceful. You have to pet her gently.

Motonari: Hah? Don't tell me what to do.

Kennyo: Come here... There, there, that's a good girl.

Funiko: Mew...

(Ah, there, that spot on my neck, ahhh... He knows all of the best scratching spots...)

Owner: It's just about time for her to eat, so would you like to try feeding her?

(Yay, it's fish time! Funiko loves fish time!)

Motonari: She sure got a dopey look on her face all of a sudden. Reminds me of a certain someone...

(Ahh... He can smile like that too, huh. I wonder who he's talking about?)

Kicho: Pay no mind to Motonari. Come, eat.

Motonari: Heh, smart kid. 'Course she's running to the person holding the spoon.

Funiko: Mya, myaaa!

Kicho: Take it easy. If you eat that fast, you're going to choke.

(Fiiiine...)

Kicho: Good girl.

(Phew... now that I'm full, I'm getting sleepy...) (...That looks soft...)

Funiko: Meow, meow...

Motonari: What's she doing, stepping all over my cape?

Kicho: It's called kneading. I've heard that cats engage in such behavior when they feel at ease.

Motonari: ...Wasn't she scared of me a minute ago?

(Ahh, this kimono feels really nice.)

Kennyo: Cats are cautious creatures by nature... but this little one is still a baby. Kennyo: Perhaps she has perceived your true nature, and feels that she can trust you?

Motonari: ...The hell are you implying?

Kennyo: You like small animals, don't you?

Motonari: ...Who knows. Not like I love them.

(Small animals? So, like cats?) (Hmmmm.... sleepy........)

Kicho: ...She's asleep.

Motonari: Oi, don't sleep on that.

Kennyo: Motonari, leave her be.

Kicho: She'll wake up on her own eventually.

(I'm not scared anymore, good night...)

And so, curled up in a soft cape, Funiko had a very good nap.

20 Questions Writer Tag

Thanks for the tag @justafunctionalmess ❤️

I have two AO3 accounts so I'll be taking from both of them.

How many works do you have on AO3? 32 works, not counting two abandoned works that are not associated with me anymore.

What is your total AO3 word count? 76,137 words

What fandoms do you write for? Oof, so many it's such a long list. As for the ones I've posted: Psych, Bones, The X-Files, New Girl, Victorious, Monk, That 70s Show, Supergirl, Schitt's Creek, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the Shadowhunter Chronicles, and two others I'm not gonna mention because they're cringe. I write for at least double what I listed.

What are your top five fics by kudos? Daddy with 343 kudos (Supergirl; I hate it's my most popular fic, purely because of the title), Walter and Nancy with 239 kudos (Victorious), Sparks Fly with 207 kudos (Supergirl), Sleepover with 143 kudos (Schitt's Creek), and Superstar with 127 kudos (Supergirl again).

Do you respond to comments? Why or why not? I try to! I get email notifications of comments, so I really see them on there, absolutely cherish them, then forget to reply on AO3. Sometimes I go on to reply to some in batches. I never know what to say in reply, but I'm so grateful to everyone that comments!

What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? The fic with the angstiest ending was Jericho (The X-Files). I've posted like two angsty fics total, and I don't usually write angst.

What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? All of my fics end happy so this one was really hard. I guess I'd have to say Cold Blooded Killer because it's not a traditionally happy fic until the end :)

Do you get hate on your fic? Very very rarely, yes. It's only happened three times. The first time I was so upset about it. The second and third times I'm pretty sure it was the same person (guest account commented) so I just deleted it.

Do you write smut? Yes, but I don't post it. I don't write it very often either, very rare.

Do you write crossovers? Nope, not my cup of tea. I don't read them either.

Have you ever had a fic stolen? Probably not. At least not that I'm aware of...

Have you ever had a fic translated? No, but I have had someone record an audio of a fic I wrote. Hands down the coolest experience I've had with my writing so far!!

Have you ever co-written a fic? In a way, yes? If writing letters as characters back and forth with my sister counts.

What's your all-time favorite ship? I don't really have a favorite, BUT I guess I choose Mulder and Scully. Because of how they grew old together (I only watched the monster of the week episodes in the revival, but they were so cute together <3)

What's the WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will? My Bones high school AU. I've gotten so far on it, but the path ahead is longer. Also, the Boneheads podcast needs to come out so I can rewatch Bones and start writing it again.

What are your writing strengths? Dialogue, probably. I love character interactions, that's what I live for in writing (and also why I write fic). I want to see characters interacting, not necessarily a cool plot, which is why I emulate that in my own writing.

What are your writing weaknesses? Prose. I just don't like writing it (or reading it for the most part).

Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic? I don't know enough about any language to confidently write dialogue for it in my fics. I'd probably get one of my friends who's more fluent in other languages to help me.

First fandom you wrote for? I'm absolutely devastated to share that my first fanfic was for Martha Speaks. I was in second grade and PBS Kids was holding a contest for written stories. Mine ended up over the word limit so I never sent it in.

Favorite fic you've ever written? All of them. Even if the writing isn't as good, it was something I was so proud of at the time, and I can feel that when I read it.

Hmmmm, I'm tagging @bianxiousandcute, @sprqpointintern @that70sshowgoldencouple @thatseventiesbitch @tht70sblog

[arcplaysgames]

someone asked me a while about about my ideal persona cast using the P3/P4/P5 casts and i didn't answer because this was back when we just got futaba so i didn't know

now I feel I have a bit more of a handle so

The Protagonist: femmeswap Joker. yes i still want to be able to play a girl so fucking bad and i'm mad the game will not let me. i feel like Joker and FeMC would be tight bc they are both fucking weirdos.

The Best Friend Guy: i am agonizing over yosuke vs junpei but I'm gonna say Junpei because I liked having a bro that much. I like Yosuke but only when he's devastatingly closeted and in love with P4MC. I would be friends with Junpei IRL.

The Uncool Girl: I really like Ann but Yukari was great, she was gay as hell, and she had a very interesting arc. I liked how she gave huge "girl friend who secretly dislikes you and is just being nice" vibes but evolved into an extremely sharp plot catalyst who asked smart questions and was super perceptive.

The Polite Girl With A Family Legacy: Makoto was never in the running here, but Yukiko vs Mitsuru is hard. Mitsuru has nonbinary swagger and a motorcycle, but Yukiko is actually really funny and charming...... I'm gonna say Yukiko by a hair.

The Weird Loveable Dude Who I Personally Wanna Date In Each Game: Yusuke vs Kanji vs Akihiko. god, don't make me pick between Akihiko the Autistic Boxer King and Kanji the literal best character in P4. I refuse to pick. Both win.

Yusuke loses because the game forgot he's a loveable weirdo about 20 hours ago and he's just another voice in cutscenes now and i'm sad about it.

The Navigator: oh my god Fuuka vs Futaba is so fucking hard. I wanted to date Fuuka so bad and she's still the most useful of the actual navigators, she's the only one who just gives you a full scan of the enemies when you ask. but Futaba is a fucking delight and her struggle with agoraphobia and social anxiety isn't played up, it's so on point, yeah I'm gonna go Futaba but Fuuka, I still love you!!!!!

Late-Comer Who Doesn't Get Enough Screentime: i don't want to blow any minds but i think i like Haru the most out of these, I'm really loving her Empress arc. Naoto was super interesting up until they joined the party, then the game got scared to do anything with her. nah.

The Guest Party Member: Shinjiro vs Akechi. SIGHS. it's gotta be Akechi unfortunately.

The Mascot Animal: Teddie, no question. Morgana is a close second but I cried about Teddie. hmmmm but morgana is a cat that lives in your school bag......... NO it's teddie! I can't not reward Sam Reigel for the fucking WORK he did!

The Special Edition Character: Marie. Kasumi has suffered soooooo much from feeling tacked onto the story in an extremely sloppy way. With Marie, that... kind of was perfect given who and what she was, it almost aided in the feeling of her as a superfluous vestigial limb of the game that you opt-into caring about. Also her becoming a weather forecaster was hilarious. Kasumi really really needs some fucking edge.

(also, random complaint, Maruki feels MUCH LESS TACKED ON than Kasumi, so i KNOW they could have done a better job integrating her. whatever.)

Velvet Room Attendant: Margaret. I'm sorry, I'm shallow and she's incredibly hot and that line asking the PC to entangle her in his thread of fate was hot. Also the moment she kisses the PC is great. Sorry Liz.

Bad Vibes Bad Guy: Ryoji vs Adachi vs Akechi. This is impossible because all three of them are atrocious in their own ways. Also, I haven't seen Akechi's dismount yet. HOWEVER..... as fun as Akechi shooting Joker was, and it was very fun, I don't think he comes close to P4MC vs Adachi in Yamano's room. The framing, the cinematography, the sudden shock of his Arcana changing, it was phenomenal. JYB absolutely killed that performance. Adachi.

Last Minute Baddie No One Cares About: Izanami vs Shido vs huh p3 doesn't have that huh. I'm gonna say Shido because no I don't care, but at least he's been mildly set up as the baddie where izanami, all you get is Edogawa giving you a four minute lecture on the creation myth of Japan and then you gotta remember that 40 hours later when the fucking gas station attendant turns out to be evil. It's dumb. At least Shido has backstory with Joker.

that was fun! it's interesting to see the reused tropes and pick which i like.

Scales and Stripes - Part 1 || Drabble

This is a drabble for my lovely rper partner @the-silver-peahen-residence, this has been on my mind for a while and thanks to Peahen's drabble the other day. This pushes me to write this in a good way!

A bond between the dragon and weretiger

P.S Please read it if you love Atsushi! But please! Peahen's writing is entertaining and good-feeling to read!

That said...I want to add a continuation drabble of hers as a bonus. Now here are some warnings.

--- Characters ---

Ink Vanguard, my OC

Atsushi Nakajima, a canon muse from BSD that my rp partner, Peahen-mun is rping as.

---- Guests----

Matt Knack from my sideblog @lovelyxhorrors

Ryunosuke Akutagawa from Bungo Stray Dogs, a canon muse that Peahen rps as well. Not only him but also Dazai and Kunkida.

---- Caution ---

---- Summary ---

After the situation, Atsushi is now finding a way to mark Ink as his own. But he would be challenged when he heard news between Ink and Matt. What would happen?

----

"Wait! He's going to do what??!" Atsushi couldn't believe his ears as he overhear this between Dazai and Kunkida. "I said...Chuya told me that Matt....you know..aka..Killer Night..is fighting Ink again. He slipped up when I was teasing him. Something about him having to deal with Pete...the bug guy bugging him." Dazai chuckles.

"But why?!" Atsushi said.

"Why was I teasing him?" Dazai asked making the weretiger sighs.

"I mean why Matt is fighting Ink?!" Atsushi asked seriously.

"Didn't Ink told you? " Kunkida asked to which the weretiger shake his head. Dazai explains, "Chuya told me that she and he always do sparring matches every three months." Dazai explained. Atsushi blinked. Three months. "Then when she and his fight be at? When?"

"I didn't ask. Maybe you could ask her, Atsushi. Knowing you, you probably worried sick!" Dazai smiles.

"Of course! I am worried sick! Did you all forget what Killer Night is capable of?!"

"We know quite well..." Kunkida had to recall that disturbing memory when Matt show up in Yokohama. He also brought down several gangs. It helped Port Mafia in some way in getting rid of their rivals without getting their hands dirty. From what he heard, the Lovely Horrors are a criminal organization but aren't focus on gaining money or power. Just killing for the sake of it. A way to live. He doesn't know why such a group exists. Their ideals is something that clashes with his. But it's a good thing that they stayed inside a forest.

"Hmmmm...." Atsushi needs to talk to Ink. Maybe he should call her. Right away, Atsushi goes to do that.

"Where are you going?"

"Calling Ink!"

"Ah...young love~!" Dazai hums making Kunkida sigh. Minutes later, Atsushi calls and wants to meet up with her over something important. They meet up on a rooftop.

"Yeah! We have to fight." Ink said it as if she isn't concerned about it making the weretiger more worried.

"But why?!" Atsushi didn't understand. From what he heard from Ranpo and Dazai, Matt is a killer. A monster of his own. He had to recall what happened when Iron Titan is defeated. Matt came by and just kill him like nothing. So why would Ink want to fight Matt or rather...why did Matt wanted to fight her? No, why do both have to fight each other?!

"It's a demon thing." Ink said making Atsushi dumbfounded. Huh?

"Besides...it's a just fight! I always fight him every three months or when he calls me. It's more like trying to one up on me!" Ink smiles.

"But.... from what I heard on the presentation you guys did. You sound like enemies."

"Not anymore but we're not friends either. It's more like....having boundaries. My friends don't like them. As for me...I don't hate them or like them. Matt especially. Hmmm...." Ink tries to think of this, "He's like a rival to me. I don't like his way of life but he doesn't make excuses for it. He's just a guy who does what he wants to do. Also....he gives it his all and puts effort into it. I kinda respect that so I will not hold nothing back too.."

"I see." Atsushi tries to understand where Ink is coming from. But Matt is a murderer and a killer from the darkness and Ink is.....the light. Atsushi couldn't describe it. The idea of someone hurting Ink like Matt made him anxious. No, upset.

"If it's alright...can I come?" Atsushi asked, making Ink turn her head at him, "I'm afraid don't understand." He admits. "But if I can come, I can understand a little further." But that's not entirely the reason. He wants to make sure the Lovely Horrors don't try anything.

Ink then smiles. "Alright, Atsushi. Shdwkyz is going to be with us too so I will let him know that you're coming as well." Ink smiles. Atsushi nods with a small smile. "Okay." With that, Atsushi is now joining as he now knows the date, place, and time of their fight.

He needs to make sure to protect her if anything goes wrong.

--- Pine Barrens, New Jeresy ----

When Shdwkyz heard that Atsushi is joining. He is surprised to hear this and isn't against it. Shdwkyz is aware of this along with a few others like Hellmare and Fosh. If the entire fraction knew, they would act recklessly. Shdwkyz wonders if Atsushi knows anything besides the PowerPoint presentation he was presented. Ink had to take a different path to meet up with Matt on the clearing.

"So how are you feeling?" Shdwkyz asked him and sees Atsushi blink.

"Well...a bit nervous." He answers.

"You mean anxious?" Shdwkyz replied.

"Hm?" Atsushi blinked. Shdwkyz clarifies, "I know why you're doing this. You don't trust the Lovely Horror not to butt on this one-on-one. I know because you saw how Matt dealt with Iron Titan." He said. Atsushi sighs. "Yes. I still don't understand why Ink has to fight him. Why is that?"

"If you want the whole story. It all started when the Lovely Horrors attacked the West Upper side of Manhattan, Harlem, and Washington Heights."

"That's where the Lupins lived!" Atsushi exclaimed. Shdwkyz nods and continues, "Yes. Apparently, one of the LH's members is a former member of the Lupins who has a grudge against them. Jason. Sometimes about being involved in the death of their former leader and being exiled. So it's revenge. Jason brought his squadron and attack their turf. Jason and Joshua happened to be there so we came over. Then Jason kidnapped some of our friends and brought them to New Jersey. So we planned a rescue mission. Along the way, we first had another fraction from Philly who had issues dealing with them as well. We managed to get into one of the New Jeresian strongholds. That's where Ink fought Matt. I wasn't there, Rust who saw the fight."

"Then what happened?" Atsushi asked.

"Both almost killed each other to the point where their injuries looked to be fatal. They didn't stop until they used up every bit of their strength before fainting." Shdwkyz said it made Atsushi's eyes widen, "Ink managed to pull through despite losing a lot of blood and suffering injuries thanks to Ophelia and others from the Philly fractions."

"And Matt?" Atsushi heard this as he couldn't believe this.

"Survived too. Don't know how but Rust told me that he should of died when Ink slash vertically. It's like those two are in a league of their own. From what I tell you, they made a deal before their fight. If Ink wins, Matt should not attack New York ever again. But there is some kind of deal between them."

"I see." Atsushi sighed. "Then....what if Matt wins?"

Shdwkyz looks away before looking at him saying, "If Matt wins, he would get her head as a trophy." That made Atsushi freeze when he told him straight out.

Shdwkyz almost thought that Atsushi is going to kill somebody with that look in his eyes. He swore that he saw his eyes change tiger when he widen his eyes. Scary.

"And....Ink is okay with that?!" He asked angrily. The idea of Matt getting her head as a trophy to mount somewhere. It made the tiger within growl at such a deal.

Shdwkyz sighs, staring into his tiger eyes with his serpentine eyes. "You know Ink as much as I do, Atsushi. Ink is straightforward as she gets."

Atsushi closes his fists. It's true. Ink is the kind of person to put herself on the line like that. Even if it gets her to kill. But why didn't she mention that? Matt is also her rival just like Kali. "Okay...since Ink wins. Why is she continuing to fight him? Is Matt trying to win to overturn that deal?"

"Not exactly..." Shdwkyz said.

"But why???" Atsushi asked making the masked phantom sigh. "Even I don't know maybe...because they like fighting each other without holding back. I can't explain because Ink tells me that you should know when you feel it."

Atsushi raises a brow at this.

"And even watching their fights...I kinda get it but don't get it. Every time I see them fight, it's like watching monsters going at me. I think both of them are adrenaline junkies. That's what I think." He said, leave it at that. Atsushi still doesn't like this but he would support Ink from the sidelines. As they got to the meeting point. They're on top of a great hill where below from a distance. There's the battlefield. A clearing where it is surrounded by pine trees. Standing in the middle, Atsushi recgonized that figure. It's Matt Knack. And coming out of the forest, Ink is walking towards them. They begin to talk with smiles on their faces.

Are they truly rivals? Atsushi narrows his eyes at this, grabbing at his chest.

"Atsushi," Shdwkyz called his name, getting his attention. "Yes?" Then someone steps forward, someone wearing a black cloth and a ghostly mask approaches and what's followed by a hulking monster with a boar's face and insectoid body.

"Hello. My name is Sid. I'm here to act as a referee and make sure that no one interferes in this fight. This is Pete who would be monitoring." Pete, the boar monster bows his head at the group, "Are you part of Van Ink the Dragon's fraction? I know you are, Phantom Slasher. But who is this? I think I see you before." Sid speaks.

"This is Atsushi Nakajima." Shdwkyz introduces him to Sid.

"Uh yes! I'm here as support like Shdwkyz." Atsushi nods his head, "My name is Atsushi Nakajima. It's uh..nice to meet you?" Atsushi is a bit unsettled by the other's attire but he did hear that Lovely Horror can be a scary group of people.

"A pleasure to meet you." Sid bowed and then the two heard a voice.

"I never expected to see you, weretiger." This got Atsushi to blink. One that is familiar to Atsushi. He looks over to Sid's right and widens his eyes.

"Ryunsouke Akutagawa???" Atsushi sees the hellhound of Port Mafia. "What are you doing here?!" He asked him suspiciously but before he transforms. Ryunosuke holds up his hand which confuses him.

"I'm here to watch the fight." Ryunosuke explained himself.

"Huh?"

"I'm with Killer Night and Lovely Horrors, weretiger. So I'm not interested in fighting you for tonight, weretiger." Ryunosuke said looking over to Ink and Matt speaking to one another down there. This got Atsushi dumbfounded. Shdwkyz narrows his eyes at this. "Ah. You're with Port Mafia." Shdwkyz said, finally remembering.

"Indeed I am," Ryunosuke answered.

"And don't forget me! But I'm not part of it anymore!" A child that is no older than 13 is sitting on top of Pete. Their hair is duo-tone, left side white and right side black. Wearing a small hat tilted on the side and wears clothes such as a white shirt with suspenders. Plus they are carrying a weird odd doll. "Name's Yumeno."

Wait! He's here too?! Atsushi looks nervous.

Shdwkyz looks over to Atsushi for an explanation. "Yes. Akutagawa Ryunsouke is part of Port Mafia and part of the attack group, the Black Lizard. Yumeno is also part of Port Mafia as well." The white-haired male explains to the masked phantom.

"Not anymore." Ryunosuke corrects him."

"I see. Interesting. But why are you here? I never thought Port Mafia and Lovely Horrors would continue their relationship after what happened in Japan." Shdwkyz asked.

"We benefit from each other, yes, and still are. But I am here of my own volition, that's all." Ryunosuke said, putting his hands in his pockets.

"Ryunosuke is correct. We are on friendly terms with Port Mafia and Mr. Akutagawa here is here of his own choice, watching the fight." Sid confirms. Shdwkyz sighs, accepting that for now.

"Shall we get started? I will let Matt that we're all here." Sid said and Pete orders a firefly to let Matt know that everyone is in place.

---

"Oh. Looks like they're all up there." Matt smiles as he has a firefly on his finger, flickering its lightbulb. Ink sees this and grips her greatsword tightly. The firefly flies away and then Matt brings out his dual combat knives, twirling them in his hands and gripping them in his grasp. Both fighters are in position.

"Get ready...." Ink whose face is now into a thrill-seeker smile as Matt grins, matching her expression

The fight has now begun as Matt brings up his two knives and Ink holds her greatsword, Wyvern.

-----

"Let us begin," Sid said. And with that! Two fighters lunged at each other. Right now, Shdwkyz and Sid watched the fight with amused expressions. Ryunosuke watched the battle with intent while Atsushi watched in amazment. During this fight, Matt is going to swipe at Ink with his knives but Ink is on the defensive before she goes to slam her sword, using the flat side of her blade as a shield holding it sideways but in an offensive way, slamming him away from her. When Matt pushed away, Ink raises her sword and slams down but the killer quickly moves away and stabs her on the leg.

This got Atsushi widen his eyes. First blood!

Ink counters attacks by elbowing Matt in the face the moment Matt stabs her leg before she kicks him with her uninjured leg. Matt hits the tree making Ryunosuke bite his bottom lip. Already the match started and these two are going at it. Shdwkyz is unphased by this, knowing how these fights go. But he is concerned about how Atsushi is taking this as he watches.

Ink and Matt go at it each other, parrying each other with their respective weapons. Matt jumps back and uses the tree bark as a launching pad before he kicks Ink with two feet like a straight cannon, sending her into the trees. Matt lands back on his feet. With a roar, Ink rushes in with great force and swings downwards at the ground, upheaving the ground under them. Matt staggers a bit giving Ink a chance as she jumps up and swings her sword once more. Matt darted under her and grabs her leg, slamming her across the ground, pushing one rubble down. Making the ground more uneven due to the sheer power of these demons.

This is...Atsushi can't believe what he's looking at. They're fighting like it's real. Yet and yet....they keep on smiling no matter the injuries.

"I think Matt will win this round even after several draws." Ryunosuke calmly said, snapping Atsushi out of it. He listens to him. "Matt is too fast for her. Her swings give her too much leeway for him to attack." Ryunosuke keeps talking. "She's strong no doubt but Matt is stronger than her in terms of speed and strength. Her strength and optimism could only get her so far. "

"I disagreed."

"Hm?" Ryunosuke raised a brow at this.

"I think Ink would beat Matt. She is the strongest. I know for sure.." Said Atsushi. "After everything so far, Ink can defeat Matt. After all, she did beat him before? No matter how much Matt trains. Ink always pulls through." Then he hears a scoff. A scoff from Ryunosuke Akutagawa. "You think so?"

"O-of course! If there's one thing that Ink has is enduring all those hits and keep on going. Look!" Atsushi said as Ink grips her sword and tries to slash but misses Matt as he quickly evades. Ink rolls over and stands up. She stabs the sword into the ground and lifts herself up, using the sword's grip as a pole to spin her body around and kick Matt to which the killer holds up his arm to defend himself from the hit.

"If that was true, why is she holding back? Sure I admit that she fought well in Yokohama but she isn't versatile like Matt. He doesn't only use knives you know. He is good in hand-to-hand combat and quick at his feet." Ryunosuke said as Matt goes to dive a knife in Ink's shoulder when Ink is on her feet. Ink winces before she kicks him at the knee before she pulls her sword out from the ground, delivering an arc swing at his waist. Since the blade is thick. It doesn't cut when using the flat side of it. She sent Matt flying across the trees. A loud crash is heard.

"Yes well...I could say the same for Matt though. Ink is quick on her feet." Atusshi retorted."

"If that's what you think. Fine, but Matt defeated Iron Titan." Ryunosuke brings a point up.

"You mean...Ink defeated Iron Titan." Atsushi corrects him. Shdwkyz raises a brow hearing Atsushi's curt retort while Sid stands there, not saying anything. Pete and Yumeno just blinked.

"When I mean by defeat. I mean kill. She hasn't killed him. Matt finished the job for her." Ryunsouke narrows his eyes at him.

"There is no reason to-"

"There was. That corrupt pro-hero has threatened New York twice. If I were her, I would end the threat by killing him. Matt did so, and he doesn't live in the state of New York. If she continues to hold back, she will lose. I expect more from her though."

"We just started the match!" Atsushi said angrily.

"And your point is?" Ryunosuke asked.

"My point is...sooner or later, Ink will win this match and beat Matt!" Atsushi said. "That's my point."

"You sound so sure..." Ryunosuke said, narrowing his eyes at him.

"I am! Besides...why are you really here anyway?!" Atsushi asked.

"It's quite obvious. I'm here as a support like you are." Ryunosuke said. Support? Does that mean...Ryunosuke is here for Matt?! But why? He doesn't see Ryunosuke caring for Matt. He only cares about Dazai and his sister, Gin. But Killer Night of all people?

"You seem surprised. I admired his strength and I want to see him go full out against this dragon." Ryunosuke said. Atsushi crosses his arms, "W-well...so I am! I always want to see Ink too going full-out at this insane killer!"

"Insane. Killer?" Ryunosuke twitched an eye. Sid sees this. Yumeno goes 'uh-oh' while Pete knows for sure, Ryunosuke didn't like that. It sounded like Atsushi talks about Matt like some lowly criminal.

"First off...I don't know where you get off acting so arrogant, weretiger. Matt would skin that dragon alive if she is not careful." This made Atsushi grit his teeth at this as Ryunosuke keeps on talking, "From what I heard, she is a reckless buffoon waving a sword around without a plan. If you asked me, she is lucky that Matt killed that lowly pro-hero. She should be grateful to him!"

"Grateful?!" Atsushi exclaimed. "Last time I checked, wasn't Matt there because one of his members messing around and spreading drugs in Yokohoma causing a mess. If anything, Matt should be grateful to her and her friends for helping him out and everything by cleaning up his mess!" Atsushi argued.

"What?!" Ryunosuke glares. Shdwkyz and Sid watched this with pure amusement. It's like....two lovers talking about their partners and comparing them who's the best at fighting and who beats who.

"That's right! Ink has done a lot more for Japan than Matt ever has! What does he do?! Kill some rival gang members! That's not new! How is that impressive?! That's what you and Port Mafia do every day."

"You-! And what about Ink?! Hm? What kind of person do reckless things! Besides...with her great attack, she didn't knock Iron Titan out of commission! So no...she hasn't won against Iron Titan in Yokohama! I don't count that as a win at all. "

"Winning doesn't mean killing someone! It means either being knocked out or giving up. Ink hasn't given up!" Atsushi points out.

"Oh! And what about when Ink got attacked at her party-" This got Atsushi glowered hearing, "You-!"

"Now come on...there is no uh..." Pete begins to break them up, stepping forward.

"Stay out of this!" Atsushi and Ryunosuke told Pete who is surprised by this. Yumeno is eating popcorn watching this.

"Pete. Please stay back." Sid said.

"Why's that?" Pete asked.

"I have a feeling there's going to be a second match here," Sid replied calmly.

"Oh?" Shdwkyz said as he seems interested in this turn of events. He can see Atsushi and Ryunosuke ready to fight now. "So should we do something about this?"

"Hmmm....I suppose a match would be in order. Stopping them now won't do much. I think letting them fight to release their pent-up energy might work." Sid said while Ryunosuke and Atsushi kept on arguing.

"You know what?! I had enough of this! If you're so sure if the dragon win, weretiger! I challenge you! I won't allow you to insult Matt like that any further!" Ryunosuke summoned Rashmon who now growls at the weretiger

"Is that right! That's fine by me! I won't let you talk badly about Ink either!"

Should I do something? Shdwkyz stares. 'Probably not...'

To be continued.

Critical Role, Campaign 3 Episode 59

Okay, so cliffhanger payoff time, then? Where did they jump to? What's happening? Are they okay? Or are we winding back the clock? Are we FINALLY going back to the other three? I've been so worried for WEEKS now ... honestly I'm desperate to know what's happening with Imogen and Co after Matt pulled THAT CLIFFHANGER but ... yeah, part of me REALLY needs to finally know if the others are okay too ...

But first ... the intro ... oh the nerves of the WAIT ...

Sam ... what the hell, man? Dear gods what is WRONG with you? Oh, a reveal? Ah ... yeah ... okay then ... WHAT?!!!

"Swollen Riegel" ... (snort)

Yes, Candela Obscura is COMING!!! Cool ... looking forward to THAT one ...

Travis sending Sam away from the table for being too distracting is so on point ...

Okay, so here we go ...

"With THIS half oh Bells Hells" ... oh? OH?!!! Is it? Is this it, then?

Yes! It's them! Finally! But also AAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!! How are they gonna handle this now they're missing the others? Especially LAUDNA?!!! O.O

Damn ... Liam rolling sweet AGAIN, how I've missed that ...

Marisha: "I've got the maps now, bitch!" XD

Compass points and landmarks ... hmmm ... so where are they? 18 is a good History roll ... oh, so there are THREE possibilities here, then ... but ... hmmmmm ... so they ARE on a different continent ...

Issylra? Hmmmm ...

Trying to hear Imogen ... nothing ... oh gods, Laudna, hang in there! She's okay! We promise! If I could hug you I would.

TWO sending stones? Hmmmmm ... let's see how THIS goes ... ah shit, not the D100 again ...

Trying AGAIN?!!! Oh boy ... and ANOTHER roll ... crap ... DON'T DROP IT!!! Oh man ...

Ashton has a little giggly tantrum ... yeah ...

And Laudna can't get hold of ANYBODY ... gods this is PAINFUL even though we already KNOW they're okay ... man ...

Pate ... at least there's a little creepy adorable comic relief to be had ... "miniature drone VR experience" ... lovely.

Clearly DOWN is not an option, then ...

Up is forest ... yup, looks better. Go that way.

Hard climb, though ... hmmm ... Laudna's Featherfall as a safeguard is SMART, as well as the Immovable Rod ... oh, and Ashton has his fancy Earth Genasi advantages too ...

GEYSERS?!!! SERIOUSLY, MATTHEW?!!! COME ON!!!

Oh fuck yeah ... Laudna REALLY needs to stay away from THAT shit ...

Oh no ... something MOVING?!!! Right now? Nooooooo ...

And Marisha has completely forgotten about her Spiderclimb ... "I haven't played this character in MONTHS!!!" No shit!

A guest? Already? Wait .. AIMEE!!! OMG!!!

She's talking like a New Yorker from the Heights ... a dwarf? Oooh ... oh, she a total punky VAVAVOOM dwarf ... cute ... yes, VERY cute! I like her already.

"Just don't" ... yeah. XD Never get too much if that.

Help them up, help them up! Liam: "I start hauling you up with my massive halfling muscles."

Mona. But probably not. Hmmm ...

Laudna relocating her knee in such a matter of fact way is just ...

Waaaaaaaaiiitttt ... oh my GOD ... does this mean that ALL the Ruidusborn have just been bounced around in all kinds of new places by this mess?

He left her AT THE ALTAR?!!! The bastard!

Climbing on as a foursome ... oh thank fuck THAT'S over snd done with ...

She has booze! Nice! Just perfect!

Ashton: "How are you feeling, now we're no longer hanging off a cliff." Laudna: "Oh, I still feel like I'm hanging off a cliff, in my head."

Wow ... this place sounds like it's probably REALLY NICE in the day ... and they STILL don't know where they are ...

"What YEAR is it?" And none of them actually KNOW that to begin with ... XD

"Grassy knoll"? (snort)

So no real time has passed ... phew ...

Mona meets Pate ... here we go ...

Laudna: "Behave yourself." Mona: "Yeah, eyes up here." Pate: "I don't have eyes."

There's a leyline nexus point up ahead? Intriguing ... and there's a town up there too ... yes, go there! Civilisation! That's what you need ...

BIIIIIIIIIIIIIG fucking mountain ... Nice landmark ... but not enough to point them to where they are yet ...

An ocean? Hmmmmm ...

Pass Without A Trace so they don't have to go slow ... Aimee (in a bad Aussie accent): "Let's do some bad math ..." Matt: "Bad METH?!!!" XD

Campfire? There's a fire ... hmmm ... what's all this then? Matt: "The saddest little campfire you've ever seen."

Pate being sneaky on his scout ... hmmm ... a cart ... and some kind of an elk? Hmmmm again ...

Liam makes a Princess Mononoke reference ... :3 I love these geeks so much ...

Heading in to introduce themselves ...

Another new guest ... here we go ...

And they're just SHOOTING THEIR CROSSBOW blindly off into the darkness! Oh dear ...

Wow, this guy is REALLY skittish ...

A half-elf, really skinny one ... oh yes, TOTAL nerd type. Yup.

Spells? He's got SPELLS?!!! A LIGHTNING BOLT?!!! AT FIFTH LEVEL?!!! REALLY?!!! TEN D6s? Bloody hell ... 47 points of lightning damage to Mona? Halved af least, but STILL ...

Everybody CHILL!!!

And then Laudna just shoots an Eldritch Blast warning shot ... oh dear ... oh, truce? Okay ...

Fucking hell, and they have NO HEALERS right now ... oh HE HAS Cure Wounds at least ... thank fuck ...

Bor'Dor Dog'Son? Hmmm ... to Laudna: "Are you dead?" Laudna: "Well it's ... complicated ..."

So he's from Wildemount? Hmmmm ... so HE'S been zapped somewhere too ... and he was looking after his sick brother too. Not good ...

So his magis powers are a NEW THING ... very suspect ... yes, that's just weird ...

Not a HUGE amount of food ... but Ashton has cheese, apparently. So ...

Oh yeah, I'm not even remotely surprised that Bor'Dor us creeped out by Pate ...

I FORGOT that they'd put people in the Hole ... yeah, they're now definitely DEAD ... hmmmm ...

Oh, wine? That's cool ...

The reindeer is named Ratchet ... yeah ...

There's something out there in the trees ... great ... we really don't need this right now ...

Yet again for Orym's freakishly high perception ...

Emily? A THIRD guest? Okay ...

"Greenpeace clipboard person"? An elf from the Shadowfell? Hmmmmm ... but a very geeky seeming one ... oh, she's strangely gothic but also NOT ... and she's CONDUCTING A SURVEY?!!! Wait ... she's COBALT SOUL?!!! Damn! Oh, they're a TRAINEE ...

A "sourceless" voice?

Mona's really name is Denise? What?

Weird ass talking book ... Dynios ... oh, it's a mage trapped in a book ... hmmm ...

So they got "Shunted" ... okay ...

Hahaha yeah ... "sassy book" ...

Orym (shouting into the trees): "Is there anyone else out there right now? Just wondering?"

Taking the survey then ... hmmmm ... this'll be a trip ...

Prism? Cute name. Cool ... I think she's completely adorable. :3

Yeah, crazy Orym acrobatics ...

Oh, so it's Deni$e ... yup ... that's about right.

Ah yes ... the "dead woman" in Laudna's head ... and here comes Pate ... oh boy ... "I'm Pate de Rolo, and I'm really horny." Oof ...

"How would you RATE YOUR EXPERIENCE with the Apogee Solstice?" Yeah ...

Something ELSE is coming now ... something DRAGGING ... okay ... that's probably not good ...

Yay! Form of Dread! Creepy plant woman nightmare visage! I love it! And it shares Bor'Dor so much he scream-pukes ... as something comes out of the forest ...

Matt: "And that's where we're gonna take a break!"

Liam: "We've been travelling with the Ring girl for months! He's brand new!" XD

Back again ... with "the Breakfast Club" ... XD

Prism has a RAVEN? Awww ... "Mother"? Hmmmm ...

Battlemap! Yes! Wow .... pretty ...

I love it ... instead of Sam's flask we now have Marisha's fan ... :3

Veiny vine creatures? Charming ...

ROLL INITIATIVE!!!

This is luke some freakish Poison Ivy minion stuff ...

Orym hacks (miss) and slashes (hit!) ...

Laudna: "Kill him with FIRE!!!" Firebolt! Yeah! 32 points of Fire Damage ... but these things are FURE RESISTANT?!!! But they're plants! "Ah ... fire ... fire may have FAILED!!! DON'T kill it with fire!"

Deni$e RAGES?!!! She's a barbarian! Nice! She boots it away ... and punts it RIGHT AT Bor'Dor! Oops ... time for payback! XD

Now ASHTON Rages too! Yay ... fancy mystical trippy Raging! Nice ... BOOM!!! And a WORMHOLE STRIKE?!!! Awesome ...

Fuck! Additional sneaky surprise angry flower attacks! Not fair! 14 points of poison damage ... from ONE strike? Double not fair!

Laudna throws Silvery Barbs to try and save Bor'Dor from getting battered ... nuts, no joy! Ouch ...

Riposte? Cool ... AND he gets to SAVE himself after all ... or not ... NO!!! Orym gets battered ...

Prism trying her magic FOR THE FIRST TIME?!!! Oh shit ... Steel Wind Strike? Cool ... holy shit and SHE CRITS on her first hit! AND her second! Bloody hell ... 29 TWICE?!!! 58 points of damage! Fucking hell ... AND SHE GETS THE HDYWTDT!!!

Prism: "How's that for a field test? Because they're plant's, right?" Laudna: "The best jokes are the ones you have to explain!"

Bor'Dor is terrified and gets thd chills as he freezes ... but instead accidentally makes some kind of crazy ice attack! Ray if Frist! Cool ... 14 points of Freezing damage! Sweet!

And then he curls up into a tiny non-threatening ball ... awwwwwww ...

Orym pulls a Bait and Switch with him and goes on the attack! Miss ... boo! Then HIT! Nice ... Action Surge! Yes!

Wither and Bloom! Yesssssss ... Laudna trashes the remaining creatures and gives the hit dice back to Orym! Cool ...

Yes! Dwarves have poison resistance! Sweet! Deni$e swings and hits HARD!!! Added sneaky attack for the win! Sweet! And then she trips the fucker up with her whip! Nice ...

Ashton hits it while it's down! 12 damage on the first hit, 15 on the second ... and he knocks it away into the cart too ... oh yeah, the cart is TRASHED!!! Oops ...

Aimee: "It's not demoralised?" Matt: "Oh, I've been demoralised many times in my life and still stood up."

This nasty fucking thing can HEAL ITSELF by eating the rottng corpses it's devoured ... yuck ...

Fuck! Orym has just been SWALLOWED?!!!

Prism sends Dynios into the thing and uses Dimension Door to teleport him back out again! Orym is IMMEDIATELY saved ... that was AWESOME!!!

Prism: "How's THAT for a field test?" Liam (laughing): "Not another bad joke but THE SAME ONE!!!"

The stench overpowers Bor'Dor and he just PUKES again ... Matt: You can get up snd move, you know." Utkarsh: "Nah." Matt: "I respect that!" XD So he LIGHTNING BOLTS the fucker ...

More awesome Orym acrobatics! Nice ... First hit misses but second hits HARD!!! 17 points of damage ... and it's the HDYWTDT!!! Yay!

Laudna pulls Chill Touch on the last one. And then two Eldritch Blasts! POW POW!!! Sweet ...

Deni$e inflicts 34 points of slashing damage ... but she's also poisoned! Aaaaargh ... oof ... charming ... and yet she STILL gets the HDYWTDT!!! Wow! She full on DOMINATRIX attacks this thing with her whip and just KILLS the fucker. I love it ... XD

Laudna skitters over to Bor'Dor in THE SCARIEST WAY ... "Are you okay?" Seriously?

Ashton and Deni$e are immediately bonding now over both being total badasses. :3

Laudna: "You don't have to be so abrasive!" Pate: "I don't know how else to be! You made me like this!"

Ashton is correct, an exploding glyph at THE MOUTH OF A CAVE is a BAD idea ...

Sheep are QUIET animals? What sheep have YOU been hanging around, mate? Liam: "The other group did goats, we can't do that too!"

Oh god ... creepy booby-trap talking corpses ... this is so fucked up ... and it keeps getting worse with EACH new suggestion ... this is turning into a nightmarish freakshow ...

Discussing what happened at the Solstice ... and Prism knows all about Ludinus because she's Cobalt Soul ...

The old question again, what are they coming next?

Bor'Dor has to keep checking the tag on his potato sack to remember where he's from ... XD It's quite adorable in a really pathetic way.

Liam joking that the corpses are very much like the animatronic Presidents at Disney Land ... LOL

Wow ... is Bor'Dor and Prism staying up on watch turning into a meet-cute? I mean they're both so adorably dweeby ... :3

Next watch is Ashton and Laudna ... here we go ... am I gonna cry now?

Ashton: "This us what we do, we bring everybody back. There is no failure in this." Whoo ... that is one HARDCORE PROMISE, Greymoore.

Laudna sends Pate go find Ratchet again.

Deni$e knows Gilmour ... wait ... DARIAX?!!! He's on a wanted poster? ORYM'S on a wanted poster? So SHE knows Dariax? Holy fuck ... HE is the ex? Bloody hell ... O.O

Orym: "What I'm SUPPOSED to say us we're gonna find our friends and sort this out. But I'm having a tough time believing that."

Waking up ...

Prism suggesting CRAFTING a Sending Spell ... hmmmm ... I am NOT confident about that right now ...

Breathtaking view ...

The Ascendant Bridge Mountain ... the Sunderpeak Valley ... oh, Vasselheim? Wow ... they are FUCKING FAR AWAY INDEED ...

Orym: "It's not an imaginary horse, it's an IMAGINARY imaginary horse."

Heading for the town, then. Slogging away chewing jerky.

Matt: "And THAT'S where we're gonna end it for tonight."

New group to continue for the foreseeable, then ... and I LIKE them ...

Preview of Sick Boyfriend visits the Purityverse

Sick BF: *mind* Hmmmm....I wonder what type of other universes they have, plus I didn't know they have different verisons of heaven. There so many things I wanna explore.

Sick BF: *yawns* I should probably get some sleep, Mmmmmmmm....*sigh* I miss Drugfriend, he's probably worried about me right now, But I have to wait till Friday afternoon for the portal to open. *sigh* I might as well get some sleep. Huh?

Sick Boyfriend looked up on the ceiling, there were stars everywhere and they were making him sleepy.

Sick Boyfriend's eyes started to slowly close as when he saw the stary ceiling.

Sick BF: Wow, Pretty stars, It's making me....feel...very....sleepy....

Sick Boyfriend fell straight to sleep from that.

Wednesday, 8AM

The next day.....

The Sun was dimming through the window.

Sick BF: Mmm! Ow, too bright!

Sick Boyfriend got up and rubbed his eyes.

Sick BF: *groans* W-What time is it?

Sick Boyfriend looked at his phone where it was on the nightstand, he opened his phone.

Sick BF: Woah! 8:00 am already?! I must've sleep too deeply

Sick BF: *yawn* mmm~ Man, Drugfriend wasn't kidding when he said I slept like an angel...

*knock knock*

Sick BF: Oh who is it?

Angel maid: It's me, Melissa!

Sick BF: Oh come in.

*opens the door*

Melissa: Hey, Miss Monika told me you need some fresh towels so I...

Melissa stopped when she saw something.

Sick BF: What's wrong? Is everything okay?

Melissa's vision: What she sees:

???: *growls*

Melissa: *whimpering*😰

Reality:

Sick BF: Uhh Mel, Are you sure you're ok-

Melissa: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! *zoomed away*

Sick Boyfriend was confused and speechless of what just happened.

Sick BF: I....uhhhhh......*mind* What the funk just happened?😳😶, Hmm? Oh yeah, I might as well get up and go shower.

Sick Boyfriend got up from the bed and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

Meanwhile:

Purity Monika: So what's this I hear about a monster, Melissa?

Melissa: (trembling) I-I'm telling you! I saw a monster and I think it ate our guest! I saw it with my own eyes!

Purity Sayori: Are you sure you saw a monster?

Melissa: Y-YES I'M SURE! IT HAD CRAZY HAIR AND IT LOOKED LIKE IT WANTS TO EAT ME!

Purity Monika: *sigh* Melissa, maybe it's probably Sick Boyfriend with a bed head that's all.

Melissa: S-SEE FOR YOURSELF!

Purity Monika: Okay Okay!

Purity Monika opened the door, she saw that no one was there.

Purity Monika: Hmm?

Melissa: Did you see anything?😫

Purity Monika: *hears humming from the bathroom* Oh I know where he is, it's coming from the bathroom.

Melissa: M-My lady, be careful!

*knock knock*

Sick BF: *opens the shower curtain a little* Huh? Who is it?

Purity Monika: It's me, Purity Monika.

Sick BF: oh uh, I'll be out in a minute!

Purity Monika: Okay but uh Melissa thought there was a monster in your room.

Sick BF: Oh that? That was just me with my bed head, I think she must've thought I was the monster.

Purity Monika: *to Melissa* See, I told you.😒

Melissa: Heh heh Oops.😅

Purity Sayori: I think you owe him a apology.

Sick BF: No No No No, it's fine, it was just a misunderstanding!

Purity Monika: Uh Okay then, well make sure you don't take too long, your breakfast might get cold.

Sick BF: Don't worry, I'll hurry up.

Purity Monika: Okay

Melissa: I'm terribly sorry about that, my ladies!

Purity Monika: *sigh* It's fine, besides I know you're new here and probably didn't know about stuff that humans do.

Purity Sayori: Well we must as well get back downstairs for our duties.

This is a preview for part 2, Part 2 will come out in 2024

Merry almost Christmas!

[brw]

Hank/Jan, I know they're fucked up but I love them 😩

Which one is more fond of scary movies: Hmmmm I think as an actual thing to watch and enjoy probably Hank, but Jan often suggests them as an excuse for some snuggles :) she actively avoids them in every other context tho

Which one gets the most excited about Halloween: Janet absolutely loves to go all out for Halloween and make super elaborate couples costumes that really make everyone else look like the bargain bin beside, Hank's just happy to be there. To be honest I don't know if Hank had a strong Halloween experience as a child beyond The Corn.

Which one would be more likely to survive the apocalypse: Hmm.... if writers didn't have a hate boner for Hank constantly and liked to kill him probably Hank, but as Hank is fun to kill in apocalypse AUs Janet. I think generally Janet wants to help more than Hank does and I could easily see her dying in like a Zombie Apocalypse really easy trying to help civilians, while Hank would think more about the bigger picture and shrink him and his lab down somewhere hidden where he can try and work on a cute or a way out or something.

Which one would literally kill for the other: Both of them to be honest but Hank's more likely to succeed (war flashbacks of Ults Hank eating Blob's head that one time)

Which one likes to scare or startle the other: Janet, I think she absolutely gets a kick about very suddenly growing in front of Hank to scare the shit out of him and it always works.

Which one is more likely to need comforting when they get spooked: Janet definitely I think, both exaggerating and genuinely needing comfort when she's scared. She's a very... physical person like that and feels better touching her loved ones, while I don't think Hank needs a whole lot when scared but needs more support in times of grief or loss.

Which one always puts on a brave face: Both of them, comes with the job, Hank does it more but Janet is better at it generally.

Which one would be more dangerous if they suddenly became violent: Both of them tbh but I'll go with Janet, Hank is ultimately A Normal Human Man while Janet is underrated in her strength with her bio blasts n stuff.

Which one would be more likely to commit a crime: Hank is more likely to commit mild crime like stealing or property damage or smoking weed in places where it's not legalised but Janet would like Get In Serious Trouble for embezzling or some shit.

Which one believes in ghosts: Hank but he doesn't admit it ever but he knows not to Fuck Around And Find Out in certain scenarios.

Which one likes to watch spooky show on television: hmmm I'm not sure, again Hank by himself but Janet will if they're both watching together.

Which one would propose the idea of holding a seance: Janet, she thinks it's fun while Hank again is like Do Not Fuck Around And Find Out but Janet is all about Finding Out.

Which one has nightmares more often: Both of them to be honest but Janet is slightly better at working through her issues or at least more willing to try and work out the problem while Hank.... Hank I dont think even admits he's traumatised from watching Maria die, let alone any of the other shit so he absolutely gets pretty bad nightmares

Which one would want to explore a real haunted house: Janet, but she would start to try and scare the other guests halfway through bc she would probably think the whole thing was tacky.

Scary OTP Meme

[katyspersonal]

i know it is a very obscure (nonexistent tbh haha) ship but i imagined edgar and iosefka having been a thing at some point and the vial in the nightmare belonging to him as one last gift from her. i don't know if it makes sense though haha

Oh, it DOES make sense! :> A lot of it. I have been suggesting this idea as an alternative to why Iosefka's vial is in the Nightmare of Mensis... As appealing as 'Iosefka is a detractor from Mensis that just tries to forget and repress' theory is, that alternative is just really nice too! ...Although...

Hmmmm what about headcanons

🩹 Iosefka is a kind woman but she can also be strict! This is a good combination of traits for someone close with Edgar, as he could get hot-headed, overly stressed because of minor things, petty, or even passive-aggressive at times. Trust issues, being a huge nerd and his parents straight up liking his cheeky close friend more than him ensured some emotional barriers, but when Iosefka would see that he is sulking and being immature, she could reason him into calming down and an open communication. And when Edgar cooperates (sooner or later), she becomes soft and willing to give him all kisses and hugs.

🔎 He, on the other hand, can at times get very emotional over the fact that Iosefka is so willing (and capable) of handling him at the moment of pettiness and cold anger and give her even MORE kisses and hugs! Even squeezing her too hard in his embrace. Other times when he gets emotional and can't help excessive display of physical affection is when Iosefka is being very smart. For example, her coming up with removing the red cells from her own holy blood is a brilliant idea for several reasons. Like, she could be explaining some discovery or an interesting thing she knows about medicine, and he just LOVES all this devotion and insightfulness. He has weakness for people that think very deep, in general, knowing that being educated and reading a lot doesn't automatically mean a person is smart. It is all about attitude!

🩹 None of them is actually good at basic life skills! It is not that they don't know how to cook, clean, plan, organize, spend etc, but more that they are both a bit dysfunctional. There is never "enough time in the day" for them to do everything they needed, because Iosefka would overdo her duties as hospital overseer somehow even without any patients, Edgar would get busy reading a lot about the things he'll never need or work out practice with the sword… Like, half of their time they are wasting together discussing things, another half they entirely devote to their occupations. In modern era, it'd be a type of couple that always orders delivery of ready food because none cooked or even pay a maid to clean the house. In where they are, they will often go to friends for "help" with it xD Like, going as guests at someone's place late in evening, looking all guilty and making puppy eyes to let them share dinner with this person fdsjhfhgs

🔎 For some reason, Iosefka feels shy every other time she finds him attractive? xD As goofy as it sounds to feel horny when her literal boyfriend is idk, being shirtless or whispers nice things to her, but this is how she is? She just... can't really get used to it, every time feels like a goddamn discovery т.т

🩹 He will at times lift her up in his arms to carry her down/up the stairs or over a hard-to-walk area. But it is not that he is trying to be romantic or overly-attentive, but rather he keeps himself in a good physical shape and uses such moments as a reason to lift up something heavy. Just not tell Iosefka about it, she will pout if she learns xd

🔎 They at times discuss a possible future where they'd quit their jobs for good and adopt many children to take care of. To forsaken their very grim past in which they allowed a lot of bad things happen with children (both Orphanage and School of Mensis; some corpses in the cages in Yahar'gul are kids!). They try to not dwell too much on it; Edgar copes with the fact that if not becoming Kin, those children could've still became beasts or be eaten by them, Iosefka because she will not be able to mentally handle it if she REALLY thinks about it. For people not good at handling even their own daily lives, they have created very elaborate, very optimistic and far-planned image of what their better life will be like "when it is all over". Honestly, simply dreaming in this setting is already good enough to stay human.

🩹 Speaking of, as I keep saying, my version of Edgar "officially" turned on Choir and sided with Micolash because in his mind, Micolash and School of Mensis "made more sense", whereas Choir he believed met the dead end. Needless to mention not providing enough autonomy with all that "only things Stars allow you to see uwu" instead of ALL of the Truth..... But in this case, with Iosefka, Edgar would certainly be more in touch with humanity! Roots of doubting the Choir here come not from their ways seeming less efficient, but from Edgar (re)discovering worth of being a human. So, in Iosefka ship AU, Edgar losing sanity to Micolash would come not from appealing to his "heretical" yearning for more efficient contact with the cosmic horrors than sheltered, controlled Choir ways, but to Micolash pressuring hard on how there is no way for Edgar to go back and reclaim his human life after all he's done (or allowed to be done) and the only courage he could show is to commit to forsaking the humanity. I just find it bittersweet how different a person can be depending on who they are intimate with!

🔎 He is used to cut his hair short by now, but he does like Iosefka's long hair and playing with it. That made him realize he wanted to grow long hair so she could, too, braid it and decorate it with pins and ribbons x)

🩹 Now that I think of it, following the interpretation that Iosefka and imposter are twins, that makes Edgar and Iosefka potentially both people that did not click with Choir very well. And even more potential - that both aligned with School of Mensis instead, be it Micolash's charisma or the promises of Mensis' institution in general. In fact, there are many things that could be done about these factors - down to Edgar not being "taken" by Nightmare of Mensis but simply leaving for a work shift or whatnot sdhjffghds Nothing can be 100% proven about conditions with which Edgar is there, it is From's game! But no matter what, all boils down to how they're both non-conforming. Iosefka is more passively so - she (used to be) a pushover externally but still having her own mind internally. And, again, messing with the formula of holy blood itself! And Edgar is an individualist questioning any dogmas if he sees it fit, symbolizing wish to use his own head hardly ever wearing Blindfold Cap and now not wearing Mensis Cage.

"47.....48......49.....50.....51....52.."

It was morning right now, seeing that Melinda was doing a prisoner number call making sure all the prisoners were present. She was given the work of doing this with Haliee and the other women officers since most didn't want to. Due to the fact these guys sometimes flirt or dog call the female that is doing this. Though, if it was a female prison, they would do the same to the guys here.

Though, most of them were almost wagging their tails seeing the new female helping out. Even if she was, she was pretty cute. Black long hair that looked good for grabbing, plump in the right places, her hips looked soft just like her thighs. Her cute silver eyes were really present even the kissable lips too. Man who ever was dating her is lucky.

'Ohhhhh she is freaking cute. I would love to make her my pet..'

'Those hips though..they look pretty plump...'

'Nice sized tits too. True, most of the other ladies are nice though they gotten use to the flirting. This is fresh meat.'

'Damn it, I so wanna grope those tits!'

"99....100...102...and....103.....Hmmmm, that should be all of them Haliee. All 103 prisoners accounted for right now." Melinda looks to her seeing the check list but she nods to take it.

"Got it. I'll let Fin know all prisoners are here and accounted for." she said but Melinda nods before facing the prisoners. "Okay gentlemen. Your now allowed to head to the prison yard for your daily exorcise routine or rest up till lunch. Please be sure you don't start any fights while doing so. The other officers will lead you outside now." Melinda saw them mutters a bit but sees other officers leading them out while heading outside.

Melinda sees this but sighed, having her arms crossed. Even though, she didn't know some were already thinking about either trying to find a way to get her part of the whole thing.

"I can't believe they behaved but that's scary." Melinda hearing one officer say nervous.

"What do you mean?"

"W..well, most times they would be flirting and howling at the female that is doing the head count but..maybe it's just me." she said nervous to make Melinda curious. That was strange. She knew Jaron, Fin, and Ahmed were leading the prisoners out side for their daily exercise run but she only looks to still be quiet.

"Hmmmm....."

~~~~~~~Meanwhile~~~~~~~~

"As I said little brother, you three just have to wait a bit longer. The lawyer should be coming soon or I'm hoping more sooner if that idiot wishes to keep his damn job." Sukuna was drinking some rum in his office while looking out to New York City. He did find this place to be rather nice.

'Yeah, I know big brother but I hope the asshole hurries up. It's sorta boring being kept here but..it's not too bad for now.' Yuji said in his cell waiting to head out for the day. He heard Megumi giving him another warning to behave over the new few hours who was shaking nervous. He was pinned against the wall while looking up at Megumi.

'C..come on Megumi please..I said I'll behave just like you told me. I'll behave....and not-'

'I know...you better. I already gave you a warning last night and I'm giving another one today..you slip up...' Megumi looks down at him but shows a few toys in his hand even when one hand was rubbing against his twitching hole making Kisho shake worse. 'You know what happens don't you? I also heard over stimulation makes someone really go crazy. I'm willing to try it on you.' he chuckled darkly making Kisho shake seeing them.

'Y..Yes si..s...sir...I understand..' he said but Sukuna didn't hear this speaking with Yuji.

"I see. Though, I will be going up there to check on you myself and speak with Miss Warden Ger. I hear she's a pretty cute tough chick.." he teased.

'Oh yeah she is. Most of the prisoners are a bit picky towards her but she's not too bad when you get to know her.' he said but that's when he heard Sukuna sigh.

"Well, I'll let you go but hang in there. As long as you do as I say and you three don't cause a problem you will be out sooner. I'll speak to you later." he said before hanging up. Yuji did the same on his end but looks to the two while Megumi backs up for a flushed Kisho shaking now however, it would be almost time for them to be called for head count.

Sukuna lowers the phone and keeps looking out while drinking some of his rum. Well, seems they were alright as long as they behaved so no worries. Now he's wondering of today.

~~~~~~AT Fin's Prison/Main office~~~~~~~

"So that's the situation huh? I hope your not over thinking due to that woman and the temptation....you know she's dangerous Fin." Ahemd looks seeing Fin thinking but he was silent right now.

"Yeah, I know.."

Ever since Winter was brought here, he was the one that took the responsibility to watch over her. True, at first her file didn't seem to bad but when he read it, she did a lot in the black market. Being a second in command and killing so many hound dogs in areas for money. Yeah, no big red flag there!

However, what's worse is how she tends to seduce him and knowing she was a demon or a fallen one. He knew that even from that, she had......dark forbidden blood in her. It was not like other were or other types here in prison and hers was the one that burned his nose. He knew when she spilled it, that made him either wish to bite her or.....shaking his head, he closed his eyes but Ahemd said nothing.

"Fin-"

"I'm good, I'm good. Though, what of Summer? Has she-"

"No. I've checked on her this morning. Right now, she's in her own prison yard right now but she had no idea Winter is here too. Keeping them apart is best plan because we know if they knew they were here, it would turn into a bloodbath." he warns and Fin knew that too. Those two were dangerous. Deadly. But....dangerously beautiful at the same time.

Ahemd knew but Fin sighed to look at him. "And I guess she also tempted you too?" he asked.

"......."

~~~~~~~~~~~~

"You know even if fallen demons tend to have different blood types it's not bad. If you look that hungry.." Summer leans onto the metal cell bar doors exposing her neck a little. Her eyes were glowing in the darkness of the cell while baring her own canine teeth.

"Why not have a taste?"

"Enough with your tricks, Summer. I only came to see if you were alright and clearly you are. I'm-"

"Your so boring at times being all high and mighty. Besides, I said I would behave right? I'm good...at times." she lets the prison shirt go but looks to him. "Though, I wonder how long can you resist wanting to try it out. Why not have a little fun?..Give into the sinful desires that a were like you is. I know our blood is calling out to one another...aching for us to at least bite and claim what we want...."

"......."

"And I know right now...your aching to know~"

~~~~~~~~~~~

"....Ahemd?" he snaps out of it but clears his throat.

"In a way but it wouldn't work. I know she tends to try anything to make another do what she says. She's tricky just like her friend. For now, as we agreed we need to keep on guard even if those two are dangerous..they are not to be trusted."

Fin knew that but looking to his desk, he still remembers just like him. Two of them were dangerous and Rex trained them well. However, given the thought of the two in their minds, this was going to be hard for now.

~~~~~~~Outside in the prison yard~~~~~~~~~

Jaron was keeping a eye on them but sees none of them tired anything so that was good. He did try to check on his friends saying they were alright. Even Ink was good. Though, he sweatdrops hearing she was going to be meeting with the six men she is assigned to later on. He just hopes she stays safe.

Wit ha sigh, he keeps a eye out along with other guards who were keeping guard as well. Seems everything was alright so far but nothing else was wrong. Even from that, a few were speaking or talking.

"So I heard the helping officer is sexy as hell. You said she wasn't like others or used to be?" A demon prisoner asked seeing a half vampire nod.

"It's true. I can tell from her scent. She used to be a pure blood demon but...maybe it has something to do with the Nagu freaks that roam at Central park. They get a lot of them now a days. But I heard one or a few bit her way back infecting her blood and changing it. Their venom is deadly but it's rare for a demon to live through it or stay sane. Seems like she was fine even after." he explains seeing the others think.

"That might explain that delicious scent coming from her. Man, makes me wanna eat her up if ya get what I mean." he grins seeing the other guys agreeing.

"Now now, she isn't a weak female to look down at. She is pretty deadly even if she comes from the Cursed vixens police station. Those woman are dangerous just like the others around New York. I heard the police station in Philly is strong and another one but it's some sort of a crazier one. The one in New Jersey in the forest."

"Oohhhhh I heard of that one."

"Uhhh guys, were getting off topic. You were saying the woman or that officer is different so what explains the change in scent?"

"As I said, her blood. Her scent remains unchanged because no guy has tried to mark her. She's new to this and given most of you are like half were demons, her scent will drive many crazy. Like a drug but sexual wise." he explains looking to see Melinda standing guard while making sure the others were okay.

"Meaning, she's up for grabs if one was to show dominance over her..." he chuckled.

"And how are we gonna do that. She's pretty smart so it would be hard to do that." one said that the one speaking smiles.

"It won't be. I think I have something that could help." he said reaching to show a bag of some medicine inside. The prisoners blinks to look then at him.

"Dude, how did you get drugs-"

"It's not that sort of drug. These will make her ripe for the picking that no other were or someone having animal demon blood in them can resist. If she was to swallow one or we can inject her. She would be a weak wet mess. Though, given to her. I know the other females in this place know and took all dangerous illegal drugs out. But not her which is why I was saving these. She can't be that bad to tame."

Well, he was wrong.

Melinda kept looking out seeing the prisoners doing their thing before she checks her watch. She wonders if Jaron was alright on his side knowing he and her were working together during this. Adjusting her uniform, she was just keeping a eye out when she saw one prisoner flirting with a female officer. "????"

The other looked nervous trying to tell him to back up but he only grins looking down at her like a cute trapped bunny. He even touches her cheek making her hit his hand away. Frowning, Melinda goes to deal with it.

"Oh come on baby, I won't bite. How about you and me have some fun hmm? No one is watching." He seems to be a top dog in a gang while his boys were looking at her who was shaking.

"I told you to leave me alone. You are invading my personal space." she said but he only smiled to lean in holding her chin.

"And who says that? Besides, that asshole warden isn't here. So why not stop fighting me..and let me have you." he said.

"I..I said no...let me alone you brute!" she said about to hit him but he grabs her wrist seeing he chuckled. "!?"

"Nice try love." he said about to kiss her until...

"Hey! She said let her go. I don't think she needs to repeat herself."

The guys along with the leader heard to see Melinda there. She was walking over as he looks to see the female officer nervous. Wait, wasn't that the new prey?

"I beg your pardon miss? I'm not doing anything..just having a nice talk." he said.

"Uh huh and your scaring her. I said let her go.. "she warns but the prisoner sighed and lets her go seeing her quickly rush away to hide behind Melinda.

"You alright?" she asked seeing the female nod. However, the prisoners were smiling seeing her.

"And it seems we are greeted by Miss Officer brooks herself. What's a beauty like you doing here? Did you come to play?" he grins but Melinda sighed.

"No. But I would ask you men to behave yourselves. This is not some rough house for you all to act like wild animals." she said even if the leader grins to look down at her.

"Is that right hmm? Well, we are just having some fun we weren't going to do anything. Right boys?" he said seeing them nodding. However, he smiled to look away. "But we'll leave if you wish....but would you like us to? You look so cute." he said as Melinda looks to the female officer who got nervous but Melinda ushes her to leave as she did quickly.

"As I said, please behave yourself...this is not a wild dog house." she said but that's when the group surrounds her but the leader smiled looking at her.

"We know..but it tends to get boring once in a while. We try to make things fun and cool..or better..interesting." he smirked as he looks to Melinda that he even reaches to cup her cheek. His hands were big and yet she said nothing.

"Though, a cutie like you seems to not mind it. We would love to get to know you if you get what I mean.." he said but Melinda reaches to remove his hand from her face.

"I rather not. Now if you excuse me, I still have patrol to do. Just don't do anything else dumb." she said about to leave when the guy traps her to look at her.

"I don't think you get what I mean pretty lady. I said we wanna have a little fun. You do know your not like the other women here even with your scent driving some crazy. You clearly are a different breed..one that I would like to take up.......if you don't tend to fight back that is..." he said but Melinda said nothing to look down but she looks up glaring at him.

"I suggest you back up.." she warns.

"How about you make me?" he teased now lifting her head up to look at him. "You are not like them..I know because your scent is sweeter and heavier.....maybe it's due to the fact you have tainted blood......" he teased but Melinda only remains silent.

"I said let me go...or you'll regret it..." she warns but he smiled to laugh.

"And how are you going to do that?" he said gripping her chin now. However, as he was about to kiss her, something was off. He looks to see her silver eyes slowly changed to blood red. "????"

~~~~~~~Meanwhile~~~~~~~~

"Alright, that should be good. And lunch should be close. I guess we can let them rest up a while longer." One officer said to Jaron who agreed. He saw Fin's boys were still keeping watch on some of the prisoners. However, while they were doing that, a few heard running and panting.

"H..Hey! Help! Help!!"

Jaron blinks to look seeing one of the female guards from this morning who ran looking tired. One of the boys checks to see if she was alright.

"Hey, what's wrong? You alright?" Pierce said as the female looks.

"I'm okay but..you have to come and help! Some of the prisoners including a gang is messing and picking a fight with officer brooks!"

This got Jaron's eyes to widen. "What!?"

Right away, he with the others rushes to find her with the female officer following. The other prisoners were confused but heard some cheering on the other side. Inside, Fin and Ahemd heard. What the hell was going on?!

Now both of them rushes to check it out. This also caught the attention of Summer and Winter who was relaxing in a private yard. Now what could that be?

~~~~~~~~~~

Jaron rushes to hurry and hope to find Melinda and prey she was alright. Pierce and the other boys were following him down the hallway of the prison to the west side of the prison.

"So wait, one of the gangs were hitting on you?" Pierce asked seeing her nod.

"Yes. However, Melinda got me away before they tried anything. I'm worried about her! They are not like the others here in prison. I don't know if that creep will do something to her." she said but this only got Jaron worried but deep down, something also was felt. Was it anger or jealous of another male being close to her? Right now, he had to be sure she was alright.

In a way, the group made it to the west side seeing a group crowding around as if a fight was happening. He did hear some grunts of pain and punches giving the worry of a fight!

"WHAT IS GOING ON HERE!" Pierce shouted growling at the prisoners while they or some moved showing the fight. It turns out some of the gang members were knocked out but the head leader was trying to catch Melinda. However, she was too quick for him only getting caught in a hold. Though, she wasn't touching him. That's right, she was using her telekinesis to stop him.

"What the fuck!? How are you doing this!?" he growls trying to move but Melinda sighed to lower her hand that made the guy slam face down into the ground.

"That's none of your business. I told you to behave and here you are acting like some wild dog. I suggest you listen." she warns with her hand glowing silver however, her eyes were blood red and not silver anymore. The leader growls at her before hearing a whistle blow showing Ahemd and Fin arriving.

"What the fuck is going on here!?" he said as the crowd mutters but Melinda sighed to look at Fin.

"Sorry. This bozo was causing a problem given the fact he was flirting with one of your officers. Though, it seems they were trying something else." she said but Fin looks to her then at the guy and his gang.

"Ughhhh again with you huh? Guys, take him to the detention floor." he said as some goes to grab and put them in hand cuffs. Even the leader who struggles before Melinda lets her hold go on him when he was.

"Damn it! Let go!" he roars but was forced to move before looking back. "I'll get you back for this missy. I'll be sure I make you mine!" he shouted.

Wait, what the hell? Hearing this got Jaron quiet but what did he mean by that? He looks to see Melinda sigh as she calms down but something was off. Thanks to his own senses, he goes to check on her.

"Melinda, you alright?" Jaron asked holding her shoulders but she blinks to look at him.

"Don't worry I'm alright, Jaron." she smiled with eyes closed but can you blame him? He was worried when hearing this but he only sighed to look at her.

"Okay, I just wanna be sure you were alright." he said.

"Trust me, I'm alright. Though, seems lunch is almost ready for the prisoners. Should we go ahead and call them back inside?" she asked but Jaron looks then gives a light nod.

He lets her shoulders go but he now was worried. Remembering what that guy said, he was nervous thinking or having a idea of what he means. He would get at her and now something else bothered him....

A musky ill like smell came from Melinda when the guy touched her. It irritated his nose though being a jackal has it's perks. Even this one. Remaining quiet, Jaron didn't like this feeling. He had to be sure she stays safe..but something else was picking at his mind...who the hell this guy thinks he was. He wouldn't let him take her or hurt her.

"..Uhhh Jaron, you okay?" Fin asked but he sighed to shake his head.

"Yeah..Yeah, I'm good." he said to him hearing a alarm go off showing it was time for the prisoners to head back inside. While doing that, Jaron was lost in thought.

'I think I'll have to be sure she is safe. I don't tend to get violent..but I can let it slide till then. I can't let these creeps do anything to her or me for that matter....even if this place has females their mostly officers..guess it was too dangerous for them. Ughh, what am I saying? I need to focus on Melinda and be sure she stays away from that creep...' he thought but as he did, the hat he was wearing hid his upper face that his eyes glowed.

Yeah, it seems he was angry that another touched Melinda. He wouldn't let that slide. However, the ones that saw the fight was shocked and the vampire smiling.

Seems he was right. Her blood was tainted but it gives them a chance..she was up for the picking.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hey! Uhhh....Warden Kinie said you have a visitor.."

Rex looks from doing some stretching from his cell to let go. Due to his dangerous nature, he was kept away from the other prisoners in this damn place. The last time he was in the same cell holding hallways, he ended up starting fights. So it was ordered that he was kept in a personal one.

Away from the rest.

"..A visitor? and who could that be?" he asked only for the guard to get nervous seeing his eyes from the cell.

"I...Umm....I can't say who but she will be coming to check on you due to the request. Just d..don't do anything funny." he said that Rex only crosses his arms scaring the other more.

"I see....Fine, I'll do my best..not to. Depends if I don't think about clawing them up first." he said that the guard gulps.

"R...Right! I'll just..I'll let her know you know.." quickly, the guard leads to leave Rex to wonder who this was. He might have a guess it's one of the police officers or maybe one of the females. Even so, he only sits down to wait almost like a good boy. He looks to see the sun still out this afternoon while hearing the commotion from outside.

~~~~~~In the Prison yard~~~~~~~

"Oh come on Megumi, I said I was sorry! Can you blame me for wanting to know. Besides, I wonder where Officer Violet is.." he looks around seeing she isn't here but maybe she was just doing something after the roll call.

"Oh stop worrying about it. I'm sure she's fine." Megumi said but Yuji was bored eating some snack they had for the prisoners. However, he did look to see that the other new officers were speaking before seeing Jinx finally show up.

"You sure your alright Jinx? Why were you-"

"It's nothing! Just trying to get up for another day." Jinx laughed waving her hand even if Kali sweatdrops and Ink smiling happily.

"That's good to know! I can't wait to see what today holds for us!"

"STOP ACTING ALL HAPPY ABOUT IT DAMN IT! DX" Kali shouted at the two bonking their heads. Both yelp from that wincing but only laughed nervously knowing how she was. However, Yuji saw Jinx again but a smile shows on his face. Yeah, she still was pretty cute even so...he already took more of a liking to her.

However, the boys sees her going to them but sees if they were good. "Morning guys! Are you guys doing alright?"

"We are miss thanks for asking!" Kisho smiled even if Jinx was too, deep down she was still shocked from what she saw last night. Megumi looks to give a light nod of good morning and Yuji smiled with a wave.

"Yes. I figure today should be another day right. Well, giving the fact that everything else is. Oh well..."

"Oh come on, you should at least be happy on this day. The sun is out and everything is rather nice." she said happily to them but the three looks to her then at one another.

"She's got a point." Megumi said.

"True. The sun is always nice when it's out though I heard it's going to rain and storm later. Talk about a cut off." Kisho sighed.

"Oh come on Kisho it's fine. Even though that will happen we will be inside." he said but he knew that.

"True but at least it's nice now." Jinx said to them. As the three nods to agree, she blinks hearing something from outside the gate. A few of the prisoners were looking seeing some car driving through and parking. It seems like someone was visiting the prison?

"Uhhhh Hey, that car looks familiar. Hey, Yuji isn't that someone from you brother in the-"

That's when he got another nudge painfully to the side as he yelps hissing.

"Huh?" Jinx blinks but Megumi sighed.

"It's nothing. You know how Kisho tends to be...don't you Kisho?" he said in a quiet tone but giving the look in his eye, Kisho was nervous.

"R..right right! Nevermind! Just a thought!" he said laughing nervously but he already knew he fucked up.

'Oh shit..Megumi is going to wreck me again after that slip up.....' he thought as Jinx thinks a little wondering. "Hmmmmm..."

~~~~~~~~~In another location~~~~~~~~~

"So you are worried too?" Breezy asked Vivi but she nods.

"Shdwkyz hasn't answered my calls and I'm worried. I take it Rust too?" she saw Breezy nod but sighs. They been on patrol for a while but given the fact they heard nothing from the two it worried them.

"Maybe their still doing missions knowing how it is." she said.

"That might be true but we don't know that Breezy. I think we should check on them to be sure. I get the feeling something is up. Even with weird behavior in the other prisons right now." Vivi remembers from a morning report from the other wardens of the prisoners behaving differently. But she was more worried about Shdwkyz and Breezy worried about Rust.

"How about this? We go check on them when we can. We have to see if they were alright. Deal?" Breezy said but Vivi sighed to nod.

"Alright..."

So the two agreed to do that but when they do, they might be in for a surprise.

[thorntonkrell-blog-blog]

Once upon a time, Ringo Starr was guesting on a New York City talk show. Wild Bill was in the audience. At the close of the show Ringo offered a Q and A session. Wild Bill grabbed the mike and asked Ringo "what drummer do you like the best?". Ringo thought for a minute and replied "Cozy Cole"

Cozy Cole was a prominent American jazz drummer known for his versatile playing style and rhythmic precision. Cozy's most famous recording released in 1958 was Topsy Part Two.

Cozy's influence impacted jazz and popular music including Ringo and thus the Beatles. Cozy epitomized precise technique, solid time keeping and innovative accents and fills. Cozy had a hit record in 1958 called Topsy Part 2. I loved that song as apparently so did Ringo. I always wondered if there was a Topsy Part One". I just learned that Topsy had its origins as a jazz standard. The original "Topsy" was composed by Eddie Durham and was recorded in the 1930s. It was a popular tune in the swing era, and various artists recorded their interpretations of it.

If we go back a little further, we remember the Battle of the Current and the electrified, experimental murder of Topsy the elephant.

Topsy was a circus elephant who gained notoriety due to the sensational circumstances of her death. At the turn of the century, just before the turn of the century and just after the invention of the lightbulb, Topsy was involved in several incidents, including the accidental killing of a spectator who fed her a lit cigarette. (Note:Do not feed an elephant a lit cigarette). Topsy was ruled both dangerous and guilty.

Hmmmm. What do we do with a criminal pachyderm. Anybody got any Ideas?

Hey, let's send her to a zoo instead of a carnival. Hey, let's sell her to another circus and change her name. Hey, let's ask Thomas Edison. Tom Edison was always involved in bright ideas as we all know. At this time, Tom was in a battle with George Westinghouse known as the "War of Currents". Edison was the champion of direct current while Westinghouse was the king of alternating current. Edison was looking for a way to demonstrate the dangers of alternating current. Somebody or something could get electrocuted.

And there was a killer elephant that needed justice and there was a place called Coney Island which contained as many light bulbs as the rest of the world put together.

Topsy found herself at the intersection of public safety concerns, animal welfare considerations and the ambition of inventors and industrial magnates. Coney Island was a symbol of the new century's exuberance and technological advancement. The abundance of light bulbs and electrified spectacles showcased the profound, transformative influence of electricity. Tom Edison recognized the power of demonstration and spectacle in shaping public opinion. He proposed electrocuting Topsy at Coney Island and selling tickets to the event.

On January 4, 1903, Topsy was fed carrots laced with potassium cyanide to ensure a lethal dose before the electrocution. She was led to a designated location in the park. She was chained and harnessed. Earlier that day, technicians and electricians had set up the wiring connections needed to deliver the direct current. My great uncle Jack was one of the technicians. For the rest of his life, he regretted his participation this event. He suffered from nightmares. He repeated the story over and over again as if repeating the story would make it all go away.

I don't know if the song Topsy written in 1930 had anything to do with the death of Topsy the elephant. I don't know if Cozy Cole or Ringo Starr had any idea about Topsy. I know Wild Bill did as I had repeated the story of Uncle Jack to him many times before he got a chance to question Ringo.
