@txnichtgut  /  unprompted.

jingyuan was surprised to know they were having a new tenant. he expected a cute girlie, some older male or perhaps even an elderly couple because for some reason ren and he were the only young males around here. it was honestly starting to get slightly boring, but when the alpha laid eyes on the young male omega trying to carry his stuff into his new home, jingyuan quickly stepped over to help him, a small smile on his lips. "hey, you're the new one?? we live right besides you... oh, with we i mean me and my... slightly broody best friend." he certainly didn't need to know more about their relationship, so he cut it short. besides, maybe ren wouldn't be interested anyhow.

            it was just closer to work this way . . . he hated having to leave his former home but the commute was tedious and the rent was rather HIGH for his standards  .  with some help from march 7th and himeko  ,  he managed to find a place closer and more affordable  (  and not lacking in sense of atmosphere and structure  )  to live . . . and he was glad to have found a home that suited his tastes  ,  he just wished his friends had the time to help him move in . . .              it wasn't that the omega couldn't handle a few heavy boxes  ,  the movers helped a lot in moving in his furniture . . . just that he could use some company and some help in easing his anxiety of moving into a new place that has yet to take on his scent  —  and he swears  ,  the apartment still smells so distinctly of the previous owner . . . it's unsettling  —  or familiar scents he's used to  .  numerous trips back and forth  ,  dan heng just wanted to get his things into the apartment and settle down  —  maybe rifle through the boxes for those scented candles that march 7th jokingly gifted him a few years ago  —  ❛   just in case you wanted to cover a smell  !!  it's your favorite scent  .  ❜  —  he never thought he'd find this gift useful  .             his vision mostly blocked by the boxes he's carrying  ,  trying to minimize his trips downstairs by taking on more than he can safely handle . . . his nose catches a WHIFF of someone's scent  —  an alpha  ?!  —  before he sees them  ,  startled when he's suddenly approached  ,  the omega takes a small step back to take a look at the stranger . . . no  ,  neighbor  —  a good looking alpha at that . . .  he had to quell his curious omega before speaking  .  not yet letting go of the boxes  ,  dan heng takes a moment to survey the other  ,  ❝  ah . . . yeah . . . nice . . . to meet you  ,  ❞  dan heng says  ,  struggling with the boxes for a second before offering a hand to shake  .             ❝  i . . . won't take too long  ,  sorry for the mess  ,  ❞  he gives a sheepish grimace  ,  ❝  my friends kinda bailed on me on moving day  ,  go figure  ,  right  ??  ❞  he awkwardly tries to make conversation . . . god  ,  he just has to go and make things so . . . ugh  .  wait . . . this situation may be less than ideal then . . . he's a single  ,  unmarked omega living next to  (  at least  )  one alpha . . . his neighbor mentioned a roommate . . . another alpha  ??  an omega  ,  maybe  ??  the other hardly seems to be someone who DOESN'T already have someone bonded to them . . .

ok so… first impressions/little summary

The game starts with Hertha Space Station getting attacked by monsters called Antimatter Legion. Kafka and Silver Wolf sent them there as a distraction while they sneak around and steal a rare and dangerous object

The object in question is the Stellaron, also called ‘cancer of the universe’ in my first language. Very reassuring

As soon as the ‘technobabble’ started, I thought ‘aaah yes this is a Honkai game’

I realized how annoying Paimon’s voice was (in every dubs!) when I began to play a game in which I couldn’t hear her at all. Thank you, HSR

Kafka and SW are your introduction to the turn-based combat system, which is honestly really fun. Unfortunately, they’re playable for only a few minutes

The scene where Kafka (the ‘step on me mommy’ character) gives birth to the MC by penetrating their body with a round object (the Stellaron) gets weirdly Freudian if you chose the dude

‘You won’t remember a thing except me’ refers to the fact Kafka is the first person MC saw, their first memory

After giving a little speech, Kafka and SW fuck off to who knows where and MC loses consciousness

It would be insanely cool if MC played the role of a sleeper agent for Kafka (delusional)

I was denied mouth-to-mouth resurrection ☠️

Dan Heng and March are very ‘what it says on the tin can’ kind of characters: calm and serious guy accompanied by cheerful energetic girl. But Dan Heng is apparently hunted down by Blade, which should be interesting

If March and MC don’t bond over both having amnesia I swear to fuck-

Arlan is very cute and has a dog called Peppy (that some scientists on HSS are weirdly attached to)

Not much to say about Asta, she’s also very generic so far

There’s a weird sequence where some Big Monster is heading towards HSS, Asta says their weapons are no match for it and Himeko decides she’s not dealing with this today. As she’s trying to leave HSS with her companions, the Big Monster attacks them (but it’s ok, he gets defeated by the MC’s Mega Super Glowing Orb Of Destruction)

It’s karma bitch!

Herta connecting her spirit to the various doll bodies located in HSS is very interesting. She’s almost immortal in a way

Right now, I’m at the part where I have to do side quests before leaving HSS

He could honestly say he felt safer around Eden than March, as March had that wild energy that often landed her with community work. Eden just had raccoon energy. She collected things, part of him could actually perfectly understand that especially now. It had been easier to bond with all the missions they went on together, and so he wasn't hesitant to allow her in his space. It might be part of what she didn't understand about him--yet. Of course Herta thought of her just as the Stellaron Vessel, she didn't know he was alive even Himeko was the red-head. It was where he disagreed with the methods. Eden was a person, she was always a person, yes she had a Stellaron inside of her but that didn't make her any less Eden.

She had gone on the sudden attack and was he surprised he'd be lying if he said no he wasn't. He wasn't sure what she was looking for outside of making him blush and he had already decided that wasn't going to happen, he could just hear the gossip now. Not that their wasn't already gossip when people were in the Archives with him. She wanted to draw a reaction out of him so he made it his goal to get one from her. It was his nature to be playfully competitive he would draw back before he'd allow his friends to be hurt or hurt feelings if he could.

Dan Heng made is a point to not loose his composure to meditate regularly and be as zen as he could manage. It wasn't always easy.

He took a step into her personal place and heard the small in take of breath a faint curve of one side of his mouth followed. She didn't back down and he didn't back up, so they were at a stalemate in that moment. She was close enough he could see how the light danced in her eyes, and how her bangs gently accented her face. He couldn't recall ever being quiet this close to her. Maybe they had been on mission, but that was mission.

She slide her hand over his and the man didn't tense or pull away he gently rotated his hand to hold her own. The dark glove he wore allowed only the slightest hint of skin on skin touch. Did she know what she was doing, he knew she had been unsure of things due to how he and March had found her. Was she aware she was--flirting ? Holding his hand , teasing him ?

Or was it she didn't want to give up or give in an lose what ever little game this was. Dan Heng had found himself a bit more willing to be competitive since accepting the horns he bore when not in his human form. He tested by stroking his thumb at her wrist where her pulse would be, where the baseball gloves would not be encasing her hands.

His eyes lowered so his lashes casted a bit of a shadow on his cheeks allowing the glow of his eyes to be more apparent. "I think it depends, do you know at all what sort of a game you are playing here Eden ? " he pitched his voice low and almost throaty. @lunaetistis

He was used to Eden showing up in the Archive and watching him work. Sometimes it was to chat sometimes it was to warn him of something that March 7th was up too. Today, felt different somehow, in the way that told him something was up, her foot fall was purposefully when she came towards the Archives, he assumed she had something on her mind that needed his attention to it. He also enjoyed listening to her chatter away about things she had found or done. It was in some ways the easiest way to grasp normality since his return to the Astral Express.

Dan Heng moved around as he always did loose pants covered his barefeet he had shed his jacket in favor of a loose pull over shirt. His boots were propped at the wall because even though he had left home. There were traditions that would never fade for him. He required no one to do so as well, it was his personal preference. He was aware she was closer than normal, he could pick up her scent this close, and he could feel her nearness.

At first the dark haired man wrote it off to her wanting to read what he was typing he didn't mind. It was information on the sheer amount of lost trotters that they had found this far. He than felt her lean into him, and emerald eyes shifted to her and a dark brow rose he was an enigma to hear March speak. He wasn't if you knew how to speak with him. It was what had made him ask her if she was trying to make him blush by being closer and closer to him.

He did not miss the fact that he was trapped on the rise with his bed and the records and the computer. His way to the door was blocked by Eden and her twinkling eyes. She was very, very close to him in his personal space in fact, and his hands dropped from the keys. So he could turn to her.

"Ah, is there are reason ?" he ventured as he glanced to her with a small tip of his head. He could read her body language well enough. However, Pride would not allow him to back towards his bed to give him a little bit of space. "Is it ?" he challenged and took a simple step into her space. So he could lean closer "Did March put you up to this ?" he asked his eyes glowed faintly in the flickering light of the equipment in the room to see if his nearness would have the effect she was seeking to inspire in him.
