Extraterrestrial Satellite Communication | Sunday

"There's always a paradise that needs to be built. That vow is like the sun in the sky — perhaps I'll melt and fall before reaching it… But some hardships I must endure."

The dream of the Order has dissipated, yet there are still those who will not give up on their original intent.

— The traveler whose wings were clipped… whereto shall his footsteps lead?

EDIT:::::BTW SOMEONE SAID HE SHOULD BE HERE AROUND DEC. 4TH WE HAVE A BIT TO SAVE UP STELLAR JADES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

actively exploring an 'opposite' au of sorts which started out as a 'switching role' au--

aventurine is a doctor (statistical analysis) and a member of the genius society. he's so good at predicting what'll happen that some people think he's psychic, and every company out there wants him on their official payroll instead of a contract.

dr ratio's work was stolen by the ipc, and he dropped everything to try to get it back and erase all copies of it, as a world-destroyer is horrifically dangerous in the ipc's hands. at this point, he's just trying to take down the ipc.

sunday & robin were picked up by the ipc after their planet's destruction, and are currently stonehearts (anglesite & moonstone).

If I don't get Sunday x Stelle slowburn fics once he joins the Astral Express, I'll be disappointed to say the least

my thoughts of sunday… as a nameless?

i can only imagine if sunday joins the nameless, part of the pros would be he could move on from the past and influences of the order. what i can’t imagine is why or how.

it felt like it was implied in one of the dialogue by the trailblazer that the astral express could get another member, so that there’d be two groups playing celestial jade.

so if sunday is this supposed next nameless, how? why? when? maybe the crew might forgive him after betraying the family? or maybe there might be a small grudge they carry?

either way, i’m taking the leak with a grain of salt, since im still hoping he’d join the stellaron hunters…

[baeshijima]

going back to my hopes of sunday joining the express, i would love for him to meet jing yuan with us during our travels bc i honestly think they would get along quite well and i think it would do him some good to have some of jing yuans lightheartedness rub off on him ;w;

[sarchasmmm]

Need confirmation about what faction sunday joins purely because it'll piss off my friend who HATES him lmao

I have to be the one to tell them. It'll be so funny.

I think theyd hate him joining both the stellaron hunters or astral express but I think they'd hate the latter more so I kinda hope it's that. Their reaction will be funnier.

Brave Shine - Aimer

How can I destroy my weakness? ‘Cause I wanna be stronger / I need to keep them all safe, but I lack the power / If we learn to wield our flaws, then the future will be ours / BRAVE SHINE / If you need a hand to hold, then STAY THE NIGHT / On the darkest of my days YOU SAVED MY LIFE

2. I love rock 'n' roll - Joan Jett & The Blackhearts

The beat was going strong, playing my favorite song / I could tell it wouldn't be long 'till he was with me / Yeah me / Singing I love rock and roll / So put another dime in the jukebox baby / I love rock and roll / So come and take your time and dance with me

3. X - Chungha

The picture that had no room for me / I stared at it for a long time / Couldn't piece together back then / Those sad pieces are now sharp blades / With sharpened knife, I cut away / The scars of you that followed me like a ghost / Filled up clean with new flesh / Like nothing ever happened

4. Breakaway - Kelly Clarkson

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly / I'll do what it takes 'til I touch the sky / And I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change / And break away / Out of the darkness and into the sun / I won't forget all the ones that I love (I gotta) / Take a risk, take a chance, make a change / And break away

5. Journey - WOODZ

When I walk through this door / Far beyond on the endless road / Will there be the sun shining down on me / So I’m ready to journey again / I might lose myself when I leave but / Deep inside my heart, on my little island / Is where I have kept myself intact

Ough lord take all my pain and suffering (period cramps + exam season) and bestow it upon my enemies (sunday hsr)

[narzissenkreuz-ordo]

i have to find the exact collectable again but im p sure its mentioned that vidyadhara can reincarnate into any gender throughout their various lives and if thats the case:

gay gender non-conforming cis man dan feng vs bisexual transmasc dan heng who rejects any sort of feminity at first

[venti-death-watch]

my worst au habit is that i always, without a doubt, put yanqing on the astral express. like the concept of him looking at jingliu & jing yuan’s teachings (pure strength & art of the sword versus strategy & why you wield) and deciding to take a third path is so appealing to me. it also is exactly what jing yuan wants him to do, so by him taking that third path he’s subtly telling jing yuan that he’s learned from jing yuan— ie, when there’s a stalemate on the board, bring in an outside option

@metrictita asked :

"oh, miss stellaron . . . i didn't think to see you again so soon. must be just my luck, no?~" the blonde said as he sat down next to the grey-haired woman, irises peering through his sunglasses before he gave a knowing look to the bartender. "i thought you would have left penacony by now. well, perhaps the same thing should be said about me." after all, the IPC wouldn't take well to him losing his cornerstone, though, fortune should always shine down on him. maybe that's why he ran into eden here. "tell me . . . " gloved hand remained under his chin, leaving his head to rest as he watches the other. "how is it to be free of anything in this world? to just blaze through the universe? i bet it must be . . . tiring." (from aventurine, for eden :>)

─「エデン」─  it felt like a long, long dream. it was a statement that was more accurate in this situation more than ever. the TRAILBLAZER found herself drifting in and out between reality and dream that was so real one could barely distinguish it. a scary thought, she felt. for one to no longer being able to tell whether they were awake or asleep. what she felt was REAL turned out to be false, the lost battle now being turned upside down and people freed from their GOLDEN CAGE, forcefully yanked back to reality so many had fought for. the reality that was much crueler yet true.

                surprise colored her expression at the familiar voice echoing within the quiet atmosphere. gold met sigonian hues behind the tinted lens. funny how fate and feelings changed in the span of the time she had known this man. distrust. suspicion. then those emotions turning into admiration, and respect. perhaps even CARE ? the walls around her heart was still there especially after everything that happened in penacony. yet, it was no secrets that without his plan, the ASTRAL EXPRESS wouldn't have been able to find the truth of it all. so they owed him for that. she owed him for that.

                well, that, and eden didn't want to outright admitted that she had grown worried of his safety and had developed a sort of attachment to their FRIENDSHIP ( is their relationship able to be referred to as that ? maybe. maybe not. who knows at this point ? )

                " it's good to see you safe and sound, at least. a risky bet you made there. bold move. " for once, she allowed honesty to drip from her lips, with a hint of admiration to how far he was willing to go to have his plan realized.

                his following words did catch her attention, however.

                gloved digits instinctively twitched and she almost snap back when the word FREE was uttered. free ? he thought she was free ? free of anything ? WHAT WOULD HE KNOW !? it was the opposite of free ! the collar of FATE and chains of destiny shackling her entire frame down nearly RATTLED with her movement if it weren't for the last syllable said so casually. it was as if he expected her to do so, to counter, only for him to say something entirely different.

                must be ... tiring.

                " ... what ... did you ... " just say ? the last two words died down in her throat. AMBER optics widened, pupils dilated as they were fixated upon the gambler as though he had just uttered something beyond ridiculous. and he ... did. never in her days as a nameless, as THE STELLARON VESSEL, as the trailblazer, had anyone ever said that to her. everyone thought that she was fortunate, they thought her all powerful and free to chase the dream and follow akivili's path.

                this was the first time anyone had seen through it all. through the smile, through the heroic achievements, through the tales and battles and victories ...

                it was the first time someone saw through the MASK, right to her core.

                who am i ? is this all i am ? the vessel for the stellaron ? a pawn of the script ? when will it end ? enough enough enough.

                for a moment, THE TRAILBLAZER was unable to say a single thing back to him. she didn't know what kind of expression she was making, and a part of her should feel uncomfortable for being exposed like this. she was being seen through, being vulnerable, she should despise that. then why ... ? why was it that she felt a sense of ... relief ? that feeling of being HUMAN, of being recognized. why was it that her eyes were burning so much that she didn't realize how badly her hands were shaking.

                as though she had silently wished for someone to know that ... to hear the screams trapped within the back of her throat. the THINGS she couldn't tell anyone ( i can't. i can't. they all need me. so many depend on me. i can't do that. )

                but it hurts. it hurts. it hurts. it's heavy. it's suffocating. the chains. the destiny. the script. i'm tired. i'm so tired.

                she didn't know how long the silence had passed, or how much she had allowed him to see in that moment of weakness she couldn't keep from him. lips tightened, thinned into a line where the stellaron vessel blinked her eyes rapidly, attempting to clear the curtain of liquids welling up in the same beat as the burning sensation she felt earlier. a deep breath was taken, and there was a hint of something in her aureate orbs. something ... unique and rare, directed at the man before her.

                " it's an experience unlike any other. the trailblaze. the astral express. " each syllable hung in the air, it felt more like an invitation than a remark, if the look in those AURIC GAZE didn't tell of that already. eden felt like he'd understand what she meant. he, who was able to see through her like that, would know, wouldn't he ? the IPC ... would they still keep him around ? if not ... then ...

                " you should try it. "

                you should come with me.

I'm having one of those "I wish I could just be part of the Astral Express crew" moments

[thingswhatareawesome]

got my 964 moogle stones. bought so many items. i run a mildly cluttered inventory but still, like i nearly ran out of bag slots while purchasing it all.

realized i think i want one more item. :| so a 14 and a 6 raid/dungeon tomorrow (lol that'll be a total of 984 then), and then it'll be done done. for real this time.

finally finished (?) that one xzl todd riordan quest, which seemed to be mostly how many times can they send you to scaelgorge waterscape. used to love having to go there bc it's so pretty, but back and forth 3x in one quest kinda maybe ended that. quest end said he might contact again but i hope not. also finally making myself dig into those challenge quests i've been ignoring. did one, have one more on xzl and two in belobog still to do. tired of ignoring them, and i could use credits. and was reminded i still have to finish the treasure chests there too.
