timeloop story!!!!

OH HI HELLO OK THANK YOU ANON FOR ENABLING TO TALK AT LENGTH ABOUT MY OCS HEHE

so the story starts when camila (he/she) and matthew (he/him) are. created I guess? basically their main deal is that theyre human-adjacent. I say often that theyre basically anomalies within the universe that Should Not exist. theyre also perpetually a certain age (I think like 24ish) and always have been which leads to! existential crises as you do

but the universe can cope with two of these anomalies existing separately right? its only when they meet that the Problems and Horrors begin

basically when they meet theyre obviously strangers but essentially they end up dying together on a beach. it becomes strange after that when they are revived and eventually meet again. and when they die again after that. and again. you wont believe what happens next

so every time they die, matthew reappears somewhere random across the world and can Somehow end up coming back to camila who is (understandably) pretty annoyed that he doesnt have any means of knowing where matthew is. like the argument gets resolved but the lack of control is a pretty big point of contention. camila does sometimes get conversations with this like. entity that calls itself the universe but neither I or camila know if it's being facetious. im not sure what their deal is tbh. anyway yeah she sometimes gets to talk to them while being dead but theyre kind of a dick and it doesnt really help anyone but is somewhat useful in somewhat giving him an explanation. idk I kinda like nebulous and enigmatic characters (mainly bc I added them on impulse and idk really why) who are also just generally not fun to be around. hits it with a big cartoon hammer. anyway yeah that maybe evens it out a bit?

also sometimes when they die and are revived they (mainly matthew) get some sort of mutation like matthew is vaguely a vampire and also sometimes has 3 eyes depending on how I want to draw/picture him. camila also gets pigeon wings (specifically quite pale grey pigeon wings). he also one time woke up with idk just. free top surgery happened and theyre both like woahhhh holy shit this is epic

anyway it at some point becomes discovered that it's the act of them being together that causes the loop of dying and revival to happen bc like. their aforementioned anomalous status in the universe is ok on their own but impossible and overall Bad when they're together so the universe responds by. repeatedly killing them. this is confirmed to their great reluctance when they try to deliberately stay apart after they die one time and they just... dont die...

but by this point theyre like. very close (theyre queerplatonic and t4t and desperately in love. you know how it is) so they! decide theyd rather be stuck in this loop

ALSO at some point they end up working at this haunted house in the middle of the countryside with my other characters aoife and lauren (both she/her) who I! can very much talk about also if you want hehe

overall id say the main themes I wanna convey in the story (ive written a bunch of prose about them hehe but no like. concrete chronological story really) are 1. agency and 2. love as a choice and soulmates as a decision.

thank you SO much again for the ask and thank you if you read all this!!! PLEASE ask again if you wanna know any more hehe

Story time!

so today @chaotic-halfblood-kit sent a few short-haired allura pics to the gc while i was on my way to school, and i forgot to get off the bus at my stop bc I was freaking out over her and normally someone else would press the ‘i wanna get off this stop’ button... so yeah... i missed it

and t h e n I was freaking out because holy fuck shit i only had like twenty minutes left to arrive at school on time and i was in unfamiliar territory. screaming ensued (you can ask @kieran-lovebot for confirmation) and i was, officially, lost.

Well luckily i wan’t a complete idiot and i opened city mapper, which is some kind of map app (lmao) and i found a way to get to school. I had to walk 2.1km. now, my school is on top of a fucking mountain since mountains are everywhere in hk, so i thought i had to climb up some steep slopes and etc. I had also conveniently forgot to bring water. because i’m dumb like that.

onwards to my great journey! I walked for like three to five minutes next to the main roads (yk, like normal pavements) and. and the road i was going down (or up) led me to a fucking hiking trail.

yes, you heard me. a hiking trail.

I thought it was a dead end at first but upon further inspection, it revealed itself to be the only way to school. Now, I am very not fond of nature, since I am afraid of small things that can fly (excluding birds) and smaller things that walk very fast. I’m fine with insects… unless they are in my close vicinity. But, alas, there was no other way and my only option was to go forward.

So I went. With a heavy bag filled with textbooks and knickknacks on my back and wearing the school uniform. With heels.

At first, I thought it would be easy, since the first thing I saw was just a normal hiking trail with no stairs and whatnot, but I was proved wrong when I turned the corner and saw a flight of stairs. Leading to my destination. I could already see on the app that it was going to be a tricky journey with lots of twists, but I wasn’t expecting stairs.

So, with no other option, I climbed the stairs. Now, I have (quite obviously, since I live in a place practically covered in mountains) hiked before, and so walking up stairs was no new experience. I have not, however, walked up stone stairs in heels. It was painful. My shoes kept digging into my foot and I considered taking my shoes off multiple times, but my socks aren’t exactly hiking material, either. After a few minutes, I finally reached the top of the section I had to climb… or so I thought. 

Turns out there were more stairs waiting for me to conquer. Somewhere along the way, I started to get dizzy and, upon realising that I’m allowed to take off my mask in not-city places, I stuffed my mask in my pocket. I get heat strokes quite easily so I knew I had to hurry before I get worse. I saw another path along the road but, since it didn’t have stairs and wasn’t very noticeable, I didn’t thought it to be of any importance. I ignored that road and continued on. 

A few stairs later, I saw a bench next to the trail and decided to sit down and take out my phone to check my progress. However, I had diverted off the path I had to take to reach my school, and, on a whim, decided to try walking on the small trail I noticed earlier. It was just a dirt path with wildlife on both sides, and was practically swarming with butterflies and ants and a million other things I had no knowledge of. 

At some point, a giant black butterfly was sitting smack in the middle of the road. I had no other choice but to rush through it, since the trail was too narrow for me to avoid it without touching any plants, and the plants were covered in things I would rather not mention. I was nearing a breakdown (since come on, I’m on a mountain, with no company, no water, and in heels) and couldn’t hold it in anymore, so I just. Screamed and started running to get out of that damn trail faster.

The butterfly moved and I was TERRIFIED, because I am very, very afraid of butterflies (for no logical reason), and seeing that there wasn’t anyone around I could freak out. So I screamed some more and made no move to bat away the butterfly. I didn’t want to touch it but at the same time I had to go through the path it was blocking, so I just stood there. Screaming on the top of my lungs. 

The butterfly went away after a few moments, and I just panicked and ran down the trail, screaming louder whenever I came across another butterfly. I was, quite obviously, terrified. It doesn’t help that hk is full of butterflies.

After running for god knows how long, the trail ended and I arrived at a stone path. At least I think it was a stone path. There were less butterflies on that path (i think it’s there for construction and management purposes) so I stopped screaming and power walked down it. I had my phone out but I couldn’t figure out where I was supposed to go, since the stone path ended in a dead end- right next to the traffic road.

Looking over the fence that separated me from the traffic, I glimpsed a pedestrian road and almost collapsed in relief. However, I had no way to go to that road, since you know, there’s a goddamn fence separating me from it.

So I climbed over the fence (with my schoolbag, mind you) and landed on the pavement. In my heels.

I twisted my ankle (no surprise there) and also scraped my elbow, but figured that those things weren’t important as I could see my school now. Salvation!

I just had to go down the pedestrian’s road (i was on a mountain and the pavement on mountains basically encircle the mountain) and reach my school. I have never felt so relieved in my entire life.

When I arrived at school, my classmate asked if it was raining outside, because I was soaked. In my own sweat.

But it was worth it (kind of) to be on time!

anywayssss moral of the story: Don’t freak out over pretty girls when you’re on a bus, kids.

[ithurielkeepsgettingkidnapped]

It’s raining outside right now and I’m just thinking what if I wrote a drabble about Blackdale in the rain doing stuff they would do and WAIT NO SLOW DOWN YOU’RE ALREADY WORKING ON TWO SEPARATE WIPS SLOW THE FUCK DOWN

Updates updates

- drove home, saw family, had pizza for ONE EVENING, almost all of us got the plague

- plague sucks but definitely not as bad as if I didn’t have the booster, holy shit I can tell it would’ve been a lot worse. my body keeps trying to get going and then doesn’t need to and I’m like. wow. is this what it’s like to not be in excruciating full body joint pain and a 103 fever and raging coughs that pull muscles. incredible

- had shockingly good first in person interaction with family after moving, then got blindsided with p devastating family news two days later

- on the upside, it made me snap out of stuck-in-the-past-and-not-doing-anything-for-my-own-life mode so I now plan to focus all energy as soon as I get back to WA on building as much of a stable and financially stable life as possible in a giant speed run for a few years so I can give the kids a safe place to land literally asap that will be healthy for ALL of us not just flying in crisis mode at Mach 5

- just started a new job in my company with more data and data reporting work, like a split between client interaction, back end work, UX design, data interpretation, content editing, and presentation creation. Scary but exciting

- I am finally actually okay on money. I am finally actually okay on money. I cannot believe I’m not scared about money every single day right now. I have never felt this ever and I’m still crying occasionally over how grateful I am to those of you who helped me out in the past, you have no idea how much of a difference you made. I wish I could do something to give back but I promise for sure I’ll at least pay it forward however I can

- WHY DID I EVER LIVE HERE. HOLY SHIT IT IS SO HOT I CAN’T WALK OUTSIDE MORE THAN A COUPLE MINUTES MAX.

- I haven’t injured anything in weeks and am not even subluxing most joints I used to now, this is incredible and I’m so happy. I’m in less pain daily than I think I’ve been in since 2013

- I had two major moments recently where I was able to go newer routes instead of having no highway in my brain besides old damaging ones and let me tell you kids, apparently when push comes to shove, all your teeny little million-bad-day-moments of exhausted rewiring do actually add up. So when you’re frustrated that you can only sit and think about how you could do better or what you’d do if you had the ability but you’re stuck in depression or panic or w/e, please be informed that apparently that’s still actually wiring up pathways in your brain. Action isn’t the only thing that builds the highways—just thinking through them does too. So. You’re doing good work still, even when you don’t think you are.

- turns out my hair just hates WA soft water. The second I washed it in MO it had more curl without any conditioner or gel than it has had WITH gel in it in WA for MONTHS. Unbelievable. Is there a reverse hard water filter that puts minerals IN your shower water?

- Aoife. Is a Very Good Girl.

- turns out I haven’t needed antihistamines for full body itchy stress hives since I actually met my family and got it over with. What a stupid amount of stress I built up over that in the past month. I can’t wait to never again get questions about why it looks like I’ve rolled my whole head and torso in plant venom at random five days of the week

- Aoife is so so so so so so so so so so SO good with all the little kids even the babies. Even when she got overwhelmed and totally pooped out she was unfailingly gentle with them. She’ll parkour off of any adult since people reinforced that unfortunately, but she is an absolute angle with tiny humans and even lets the tiny 1-2 year olds boss her around. Hilarious

- I didn’t realize I was depressed but I think I’m finally un-depressed enough to realize “oh shit I was depressed huh. I’m still depressed huh. Better keep working on that”

- on that note. i finally don’t feel like there is no hope or point to ever writing Hymn again. So hopefully soon I’ll have enough not depressed brain to actually imagine non-depressing scenarios for it. Jesus all I could think of was trauma and depression city for that fic. And that’s not what anyone needs—I can write great grim dark but the point of Shutterbug is comfort and found family and HANDLING symptoms not chapter after chapter of more bad news or symptom incidents. Jeez. Anyway I have an inspo folder again so I’m trying guys, I’m trying. I don’t know what I’m the world will be next, or who I’ll finally find a voice through again, but I’m trying. Maybe it’ll be damian! We haven’t had damian in a bit. Or cass. I want cass so bad but she’s just too not depressed for me to get in her head right now. We’ll see!!

- Highly recommend a new fun strategy called “if you don’t like your own personality, an army of RPG OCs can help you try out and build a new one just fine”

- when I get back to WA I’m going to try paddle boarding and build up to going regularly enough i can buy my own board and rent a spot for it at a marina. I have to wait longer to start doing aerial training bc I keep injuring my back but paddle boarding will give me sweet sweet sunshine and core stability and solve most of my “I hate exercising for the sake of exercising” problems. Pls pester me for photos if I haven’t posted any within a month

- if we’re plague free by next week, I’m going to see a rock concert for the first time! And not be afraid of sinning while I do it! no one can make fun of me because there’s nothing to make fun of and no one can shame me because there’s nothing I’m doing wrong.

>be me >today i will make a height chart for my da protags and their love interests >okay maybe ill make it an outfit and color reference too >well i dont want it to be too boring to look at >draw this

so here we are with all my sweet little ladies and their lis :]!!! from left to right: cassie cousland, marian hawke and anders, aoife lavellan and cullen, rhiannon tabris and alistair, cecelia hawke and fenris, melly cadash and sera

LOTS of extra stuff under the cut!!!

lovely da protag templates are from marian churchland!

dear sweet cassie, partaker in the forbidden non-romantic alistair marriage that the game never knows how to acknowledge. very much the definition of gaslight gatekeep girlboss. and by that i mean a genuinely bad person in the sense that she tends to toy with peoples feelings. had an extremely public affair with anders during the events of awakening. It takes a good 5 years for her and alistairs marriage to be anything even approaching functional. extremely savvy, ambitious, and charismatic; a great politician and an extremely effective ruler. morrigan is her closest friend in the world (yes i know i never had her in my party. thats because im bad at video games and needed a healer.) and they’re like sisters.

my default hawke. 6′2, buff as shit, slept her way through half of her friends before finally settling with anders. she’s a blood mage and her first use of blood magic was during a particularly nasty fight where she got speared through the stomach. she carves herself up for mana; anders puts her back together. does things in anger and impulse and then regrets them (see: giving isabela to the arishok, never reconciling with carver after leandras death). mean if you dont know her, intensely protective if you do, but takes betrayal extremely poorly. constantly taking action, even if it doesn’t turn out very well; she is physically incapable of being a bystander. her and anders are my fave da couple ever... ask me about my post da2 hcs <3 theyre happy and have a daughter named bethany :] she punched cullen in the mouth at the end of da2 so hard that it left that scar.

literally is there anything like your first dai playthrough being an elf. aoife is... remarkably well realized in my brain for a character who’s life began as my friend chanting “goth elf! goth elf! goth elf!” over my shoulder while i was in character creator. very affable and friendly, but extremely politically adept with a capability for subterfuge that even she isn’t fully comfortable with. huge history buff. solas was like a big brother to her and her faith was extremely important to her so trespasser was crushing. very curious, especially about magic; definitely learned some blood magic from hawke after hearing dorian and solas talk about it. dorian is her closest platonic friend, but cullen is her rock. as in he is literally so normal compared to everything else that happens to her and she loves him for it. also her and hawke are friends and a scenario that lives rent free in my mind is them hanging out while anders and cullen attempt to kill each other in increasingly looney toons-esque ways in the background. she turned out remarkably pretty for an inquisitor... look at her

....and that’s it for my canon timeline. onto the secondary timeline!

DEAR SWEET RHIANNON. 4′8 powerhouse with a sword longer than she is tall. i first played rhiannon with a friend who was very new to rpgs and she picked all of the mean dialogue options because she thought they were funny, which led to me discovering that alistair reacts oddly and kind of hilariously well to being made fun of by a female warden pre-duncan dying. rhiannon is fun in that she literally gives no shits about conflict avoidance; if you start something with her, she’ll see it through. disliked alistair on principle and poked fun at him when they first met, but after the events at ostagar bonded to him extremely strongly. very close to him pretty much at the exclusion of all her other companions. extremely strong willed, laughs loud and smiles wide, no real concept of subterfuge except for when she’s hiding her own pain, generally goes in the path of least resistance if it gets to her goal faster. #1 arl eamon hater. she looks pretty different when i draw her compared to how she looked ingame but this screenshot of her doing the like. dead deer tinder profile pic pose is extremely powerful

cecelia is the truest tragic hawke that i’ve played (rip cecelia. you had the misfortune to exist in the warden alistair timeline). lost carver, lost bethany in the deep roads, lost her mother, believes that fenris has left her. act 2; a real rough ride for cecelia. aside from all the tragedy, she’s tough as nails, direct, and extremely blunt. very cautious in combat, even more so since she lost both carver and bethany. plans upon plans upon plans and prefers to strike unseen and unheard from the shadows. DEEPLY in love with fenris, best friends with isabela and merrill. aware of anders affection for her and keeps some distance for both their sakes; after the chantry explosion she helps him fake his own death on the condition that she never sees him again. when terrible things are not constantly happening she has a very dry wit, part of the reason her and fenris get along so well. too many bad things happen to her for someone with such nice thighs and such a stylish cape. her save file had some weird bugs with companion like.... staring???? in weird directions???

the absolute energy here. she also turned out very pretty in inquisition.

melly is easily my most powerful da oc. not in terms of in-universe power (although sword and board reaver is like. unkillable.) but in the sense that she is a catholic (read: andrastian) mid-40′s widowed mobster milf. she’s very close to cassandra and vivienne and consults them for advice before she goes to her actual advisors. even she was surprised by her relationship with sera; she finds sera’s unique sense of humor very charming and really likes pulling silly pranks with her as a reprieve from her everyday life. when she’s not with sera, she tends to be very pragmatic and logical when making decisions for the inquisition and has a very defined sense of purpose. she takes her role as both as the inquisitor and the herald of andraste very seriously. she’s very warm and soothing to be around during off hours and random inquisition members will often drift towards her for life advice. first draft of her and sera in this drawing had sera wearing this

❝ I'M WELL ACQUAINTED WITH THE VILLAINS THAT LIVE IN MY HEAD. ❞

ALL ABOUT SCARLET 

NAME: Scarlet Axelia GENDER/PRONOUNS: Cis Female, She/Her DATE OF BIRTH: February 23rd, 1985 BIRTH PLACE: Seattle, Washington CURRENT RESIDENCE: Mystic Point OCCUPATION: Defense Lawyer FACE CLAIM: Katie McGrath

BIOGRAPHY

Trigger Warnings:  Implied Abusive Foster Homes, Parental Death, Parental Abuse, Car accidents. Homophobia, Self Defense Murder

Scarlet only has vague memories of her parents, but she holds them very close to her heart. Snippets of a once happy childhood, dancing in the rain and BBQs in the backyard when the rain finally stopped. Born in the Seattle area, it was just after Scarlet’s sixth birthday that the constant rain caused the car accident, a driver lost control of his car and slammed into the family car on the way home from the local art museum. This accident  would kill both of Scarlet’s parents and leave Scarlet an orphan with scars that would last her entire life.

After that day, Scarlet bounced around foster homes, never seeming to find quite the right fit. The crash left her withdrawn and with strong anxiety anytime she was in a car for extended periods of time. This didn’t make her the most desirable kid for most foster families, even those that fashioned themselves as the saviors of those less fortunate. Scarlet soon learned some families were nicer in their rejections than others, and it was best to keep her head down and her mouth shut to avoid the worst of what could happen. Despite her plans Scarlet couldn’t stop herself from standing up for other children when the caretakers would lash out at them. When Scarlet became a teenager she gave up hope for ever finding a good home once again.

Ten years after the accident, and bouncing around the entirety of Washington State it seemed. Scarlet finally found a slightly more permanent home once again. A wonderful single mother by the name of October Axelia. October had made it her mission to take the less desirable kids from the foster system and give them a home worth having. Firmly believing that love and having someone genuinely on their side could change many kids’ entire lives. Scarlet being one of those kids that October decided to take under her wing. Appearing to all the world as a withdrawn teenager who hardly talked by the time October found her. Stubborn and Quiet and battered down by the world.

Finally given a stable place to live, and a guardian who seemed to give a single fuck about her. Scarlet excelled at her studies, but stayed fairly withdrawn from the world. Struck in her own head with the nagging fear the world would take everything from her if she got too comfortable. That is until she met Aoife. Aoife was outgoing, a track star, everything Scarlet wasn’t. The two were forced to be Science Lab Partners, Aoife having been late and Scarlet being the last person left. Scarlet fell head over heels in love. Aoife in many ways was her gay awakening.  Aoife slowly started to take down the walls Scarlet had built and Scarlet guessed that seemed to find something worth loving.  The two started dating not even a month after that first meeting.

What Scarlet didn’t know about was Aoifes home life. Scarlet slowly learned about the pressure Aoifes dad put on her, and the punishments that came when Aoife didn’t meet those standards. How people never noticed the scars and the bruises because her father was an upstanding member of the community. It was right before graduation when Scarlet’s world was turned upside down again.  She and Aoife had been dating for close to two years, before Aoifes father finally found out about the two of them. The two girls had been keeping their relationship a secret for the very reason Aoifes father was violent and horribly homophobic.

 Scarlet received a phone call in the middle of the night, a panicked Aoife describing how her father found out and charged at her. She had grabbed the nearest object and slammed it onto his head. Aoife had called the cops,still trying to do the right thing out of the vain hope that it would work out.  Immediately after she called Scarlet,scared. Aoife knew that this could be really bad, having turned eighteen the week before, and wanted to say goodbye just in case.

Scarlet watched as her first love received what she deemed as an unfair trial with members of the community not hearing what one of the most beloved men in the community did, and a lawyer that didn’t give a shit and was overworked. Scarlet was forced to watch as her world was taken from her once again. She was left searching, searching for some sort of meaning in a world she deemed as cruel. She fell into a deep depression, taking a year off of school, delaying her admission into Harvard. Scarlet spent most of her year curled up in bed, unable to bring herself to do much of anything else.

Scarlet found her purpose in her anger and despair. She found it in the pursuit of justice. Not in the way many thought of it. Scarlet had seen her foster siblings and her love go through a system that didn’t give a fuck about them and Scarlet was determined to give everyone a chance in a corrupt system that was built to destroy people. Innocent People were charged or convicted all the time, with unjust sentencing, and Scarlet was determined to help those in the system.

Scarlet ended up going to Harvard University for her undergraduate and then Yale Law School. Scarlet kept her head down and worked hard, adopting a life style that swung wildly from sex with random strangers, and drinking to forget the nightmares from the nightmore to studying her ass off. Scarlet graduated the top five of her class in both schools, moving to New York trying to take up residence on the opposite side of the country from her past.

Scarlet serves a variety of clients, from many wealthy clients at high costs, and those who she charges a single dollar for her services. Yet she was left wanting more, the big apple just not suited she ended up moving to Crystal Cove. Where she found a quite a tempting job offer to work for the Berk-Morgan Family and make enough money to actually do her pro-bono work and live quite comfortably.

Group 3

(Story Post)

The first week with the twins felt like a disaster. Thankfully, Nathan wasn't alone. Dax went back to class on Tuesday but he made himself available all of his free time and spent his nights in the hospital ward with Nathan. Sydryn, not having the ability to be everywhere at once, switched Köbi off of Gardi duty and over to werewolf duty, with Aoife taking over watching Reid. The dragon figured the angel was the least likely to get injured should anyone get bitey. The hardest part of taking care of them was their constant seemingly sporadic shape changing. While Nathan was trapped in a moon cycle, they changed at random, making it very difficult for him to keep track of what the routine he was supposed to be establishing for them. At night, when he was the wolf, he couldn't care for them properly when they stayed human and Dax was the only one who could get up to soothe them as they cried at night, needing changes, wanting attention, being hungry. There were nurses on night shift around to offer advice, but wolf Nathan wouldn't let them anywhere near the twins, leaving all the work to Dax. When they did turn to animals though, Nathan curled up with them, trying to get them to sleep, nursing them into food comas while he rested. By Friday, no one had slept properly, but they had survived. By the evening, Nathan had the twins asleep, and Köbi was there helping change the dressing on his c-section cut. Dax texted him to let him know he’d be a little late, as he was going to go out to get them food. Nathan’s wolf cycle had just ended that day so he looked forward to being in more control that night. Once Köbi was done, there was a knock on the door and Nathan said he could let them in. While he was expecting Dax, he was surprised to see Camilo coming in. Thankfully, Nathan had his shirt back on by then and felt decent enough for guests.

“Hey, Nathan,” Camilo said, walking over. “How've you been today?” “Oh, you know… Tired,” Nathan admitted. “And you?” “Same, but I'm sure it doesn't measure up,” Camilo said, rubbing his neck. “So, we started our group session about an hour ago, but the guys wanted to come up and visit you. You know, congratulations and everything. I wanted to ask you first to make sure that's okay.” “Yeah, thanks. Um, yeah, okay…” Nathan looked around. “It's not a big room, but it could work.” “Awesome. I see the twins are asleep so we'll try to be real quiet,” Camilo said before heading back out. A moment later, the group members were all coming in, sliding around the sides of the bed and making room for each other. Each one greeted and congratulated him as they got in and Dari was carrying a gift basket for him. Even new boy Jeffrey was there with his kid. “So, everyone, as you heard, Nathan delivered the twins on Monday,” Camilo said. “They're absolutely precious, aren't they Nathan?” “They are,” Nathan said, putting his hand into the bassinet beside the bed to rub Grace's cheek as she slept. “I still can't believe they're real…” “You can believe it. You're a father now,” Dari said. “Life's going to be completely different.” “Yeah…” “Can I hold them?” Dari asked. Fay nudged his arm. “Dari, they're asleep.” “Right, sorry…” “You can hold Ben,” Jeffrey said passing over the baby. “Thank you, Jeffrey,” Dari said taking the child. “Hi, Benny baby boy…” “Thank you guys for coming to visit me,” Nathan said. “I probably wouldn’t have even remembered it was Friday if you weren’t here…” “That's alright, I'm sure you've been working really hard getting into the care of your little ones,” Fay said. “Twins can't be easy.” “Well, you'll see soon too, and I can't imagine it'll be easy with other kids to take care of too,” Nathan said. “I'm pretty excited,” Dari said, rubbing his stomach. “Wish I could meet them sooner…” “Maybe they can be friends with Grace and Gabriel,” Fay suggested. “Twin friends.” “Yeah, maybe,” Nathan agreed, though he wasn’t sure how safe it would be for his were-beast children to play with other kids. “Yori, um, your kids can change form when they want, right?” “Yes, of course,” Yori said. He rubbed his stomach. “This one won’t though…” “How did you manage it?”  Nathan said. Yori shrugged. “I did it with them most of the time.” “Right, you have that…” Nathan said. “Still, triplets is a lot.” “Three kids, three dads,” Yori said. “Oh, right…” Nathan rubbed his arm. “The extra help I'm sure is great.” “You have extra help too,” Camilo said. “You have this group.” “Yeah, I know, I know…” “You have a boyfriend now too, right?” Yori said. “Two kids, two dads.” “Oh, you know about that too, huh?” “Of course,” Yori said. “I set you up.” Nathan blinked. “What?” “You know, when we met at the teacher meeting thing before the beginning of school, I invited you and Dax to my home,” Yori recalled. “You seem good for each other.” Nathan blushed. “Um, well… Thanks, I guess?” “Quite the match maker, aren't you?” Fay commended Yori. “Now find Jeffrey a new boyfriend,” Dari requested. “Hey, you wish you had what Bler and I have,” Jeffrey defended. “…” Dari looked at Fay and smirked. “I think I'm good.” Jeffrey huffed in annoyance, but Camilo rubbed his shoulder. “We're not going to get into that right now.” “Oh, where's Marcita?” Nathan asked, realising they were short a member. “She has a meeting with a client tonight,” Camilo said. “She'll be back next week.” “I think she mentioned having twins before and I wanted to know what the recovery was like for her,” Nathan said. “I can get her to visit as soon as she has the chance,” Camilo said. “She'll tell you everything she knows.” “I appreciate it,” Nathan said. He hadn't seen Sydryn yet that day, but the doctor took that time to come to check on him. Syd wrinkled their nose at the crowded recovery room and just walked around them to Nathan's bedside. “Quite a few visitors you have…” “It's our pregnancy group,” Nathan said. “Camilo started it himself. We meet Fridays.” “Oh, I heard about that…” Sydryn sighed. “I commend you for your leadership skills, Camilo.” “It's not that big a deal, but thank you, Syd,” Camilo said. “The group mostly grew word of mouth. I just had to pick the spot and time.” “Community is key for your species'…” Sydryn said. “Although I'm surprised you joined, Yori. While I assume this means you've conceived again, I can't imagine you gain much considering the ease of your reproductive abilities.” “I've learned a lot actually,” Yori said. “And this pregnancy is different for me.” “Yori's actually been a very active member,” Camilo said. “You'd be surprised that even a spirit like him can have pregnancy concerns, but he does. Maybe…you'd like to join us sometime?” “Me?” Sydryn narrowed their eyes. “Why would I join a pregnancy group?” “Well, uh… It could help to have a doctor around,” Camilo suggested. “I think not. If any of you have medical concerns, you can make appointments to see me directly,” Sydryn stated. “With my replacement out of commission and more and more of you pumping out spawn, my work is very much more pressing than any group…” “Okay, okay…” Camilo sighed. “But just know we’re here.” “Obviously.” Dax got back with dinner for himself and Nathan and was a little surprised to find so many people in the room. “Hey! Um, is this the, uh…” He looked between them, noticing Camilo and Dari's shape. “Is this the group you go to?” “Yeah, this is my pregnancy group,” Nathan said. “And I don’t know if you've met Camilo, my case worker?” Camilo waved and offered his hand. “Hi! Dax, right?” “Yes, that's me,” Dax said, shaking his hand. “And obviously I know Yori…” Yori grinned. “We are Dari and Fay Demers,” Fay said shaking Dax's hand as well. “I also work as a case worker here, and I believe we met when I toured the school.” “That's right. Nice meeting you again,” Dax said. He turned to Jeffrey. “And you are…?” “You can call me Jeffrey,” the youngest said, offering a fist bump. “Dari has my son Ben over there.” “Oh, that's your kid?” Dax said, looking between Ben and Jeffrey. “…Wait, Jeffrey Matthews?” Jeffrey blinked. “…Mr Olivier?” “Yes, that's right!” Dax said. “Wow, you haven’t changed a bit.” “Ugh, yeah…” Jeffrey rubbed the back of neck. “Puberty barely did shit for me…” “You taught him?” Nathan asked. “Yes, I was Jeffrey's 10th grade French teacher at my old school,” Dax said. “How long's that been?” “Um, math isn't my forte, but I'm 21 now, so…” Jeffrey took a moment. “What's that, four years?” “Five. But you're a father already?” Dax commented. The whole group sighed except Jeffrey who seemed very proud. “Yeah, Ben's the best thing that happened to me! I love him so much,” Jeffrey said. “Trust me, I wasn't doing much before he came into my life.” “…I believe you,” Dax said. “Isn't that funny though?” Jeffrey went on. “If you don't have any other kids, then I became a Dad before you and you're, what, twice my age?” Dax frowned. “I'm not that old. But yes, it is surprising, I guess… But no one's life happens at the same pace.” “True enough,” Jeffrey chuckled. “Nathan, I can't believe you're dating my old teacher. If teachers were our parents, you'd be my step dad.” “…Sometimes I feel like your dad…” Nathan mumbled, not loud enough for Jeffrey to hear. Dax smiled and rubbed Nathan's shoulder. “Looks like you have a very friendly and diverse support group.” “Yeah, they're all good people,” Nathan said. “But, as much as I love you guys, I really want to take advantage of my time with twins asleep at the same time, so I can catch some winks too.” “Right, of course, Nathan. We'll head out,” Camilo said. “Dari left you a gift basket we collected up on that chair over there. Open it when you get the chance. There's some useful stuff in there.” “I will. Thank you, guys, so much.” They all shuffled out and Dax smiled and gave Nathan a kiss on the forehead. “Sorry I didn't get back sooner but I got us some Freshii, and yes yours has a lot of meat in it. It's up to you if you want to sleep first or eat.” “Thank you, Dax,” Nathan said. “I'll eat. I just said that to get them to leave…” Dax started unpacking their dinner. “Oh? Not a good time?” “No, they're great. I just get upset when I'm reminded of how young that kid is…” “Right? That would be my fault though, sorry,” Dax said. “No, no. He was your student. Of course you'd remember him.” “Not gonna lie, while I'm uneasy about him being a father so young, I'm not too surprised,” Dax said. “Very good kid. Not the brightest.” “It's not my place to get into it, but his whole pregnancy story makes me mad…” Nathan said. “I think it's probably just because it's a bit like mine, but possibly worse…” “Oh no,” Dax sighed. “But he seems so happy.” “‘Seems’ is the right word. He might not be clever enough to realise he has it bad…” Nathan said. “But Fay's working with him now, so if he's any good, the kid should be better off.” “I hear Fay's the best,” Dax said. “When he's not sleeping with or marrying his patients.” “No. Dari's a patient?” “As far as I've heard.” “You're so nosy. I shouldn't know these things…” Nathan sighed. “But I think that would explain a lot about Dari…” “Really?” “I'm not gonna get into it. It's not my business.” “Alright, alright…” Dax handed Nathan his bowl and a fork. “Have the twins been good today?” “Relatively…” Nathan said. “I think I'm starting to get what kinda things make them want to switch forms… Like if I even try to put more than a diaper on them, or if there's meat around…” “Well that's good. Sounds like it's not random after all and they have some control,” Dax deduced. “I imagine they'll be able to learn when they want to switch when they're older.” “Yeah, like Yori's kids…” Nathan sighed. “I wish I could control it like that…” “Well, if your kids can do it, maybe you can,” Dax said. “They're born into it, but it's a learning curve for you.” “Maybe…” Nathan started eating his food. “This tastes great. Thank you.” “No problem. Anything for you.” Sydryn cleared their throat. “I came to make sure you're recovering well.” “Right. Syd, forgot you were there,” Nathan said. “I think I am.” “Has your dressing been changed today?” they asked. “Yeah, Köbi did is a little while ago.” “Good, so I can assume we haven't popped any stitches.” “Nope. They've stayed put.” “And your cycle ended so you should sleep better…” Syd went over by the twins. “Let me know when they're awake, I'll do a quick exam. I see they're both in human form now though which is ideal.” “Yes. They're going hours now in the same forms,” Nathan said. “They seem to like to be the same thing at the same time.” There was a knock on the door so Dax went to grab it. Pierce came in, mock saluting. “Hey guys, glad I caught you both,” he said. “I'm definitely not going anywhere,” Nathan muttered. “Right, yeah. Actually, I wanted Dax most, though I also wanted to see how you're doing your first week a parent,” Pierce said, smiling. “We're alright. Getting into it.” “Good, good. Congratulations again.” “You wanted me?” Dax asked. “Yes. So, we're well aware you've been here helping Nathan with the twins, so Ms Liu and I pulled some strings and we've got substitutes lined up for both of you now,” Pierce said. “Nathan, you don't have to worry about me covering your class and Dax, we're allowing you a short parental leave.” “Parental leave?” Dax's eyes widened. “But I'm not… I don't qualify.” “Technically neither does Nathan because of how short a time he’s been with the school, but we sorted it out for him and we've sorted it out for you,” Pierce said. “Of course, it's optional, but you don't have to come in Monday.” “Wow. Um…” Dax couldn't help grinning. “How long is it?” “Full 35 weeks for Nathan, 18 for you,” Pierce said. “That's all we could get from the board.” “That's four months,” Dax said. “That's a lot, are you sure?” “Well, do you want it?” Pierce asked. “Of course! Well, only if Nathan wants me to,” Dax hesitated. “I wouldn't want to use him just to get out of work.” “I need you. You're taking every day,” Nathan said. “Pierce, this is actually so great. I don't know what to say.” “Don't mention it. The kids are beautiful but we all understand they can be handfuls,” Pierce said. “Take the time you need to care and bond with your little ones.” “We will, thank you.” “No problem. You can thank Ms Liu mostly,” Pierce admitted. “Anyway, I'll leave you be. I'll email you specifics about the leaves, but it's paid so you don't need to worry about that.” “Right. Thanks again,” Dax said, shaking Pierce's hand. Pierce shook it back and patted Dax's arm. “Don't mention it. See ya.” Dax smiled and saw him out, before turning back to Nathan and beaming. “Isn't that amazing?” “It is,” Nathan agreed. “Again, we need to treat them to dinner when we're properly settled.” “Speaking of, you should be discharged Monday,” Sydryn stated. “Every test is coming back as expected so you're all in good health and now that the wolf cycle is over, we can trust your stitches won't be at risk.” “Oh, okay.” Nathan smiled. “I can finally go home?” “Precisely.” “Phenomenal. Monday night, I'm going to cook for us,” Dax promised. “The twins will get to sleep in their proper beds.” “I'll get to sleep in my proper bed,” Nathan stated. “Now I imagine in three weeks time, when you're back on wolf cycle, you'll be bringing the twins with you,” Sydryn assumed. “We'll have a bigger place ready for you like I promised.” “Thank you, Syd,” Nathan said. “It all seems too good to be true.” At that, Grace rolled over and started crying which got her brother to start crying too. Nathan sighed and chuckled a bit, picking them both up. “…Ah, there's the rub.” “Should I take one to the hall so they're not playing off each other?” Dax asked. “No, I think they're just hungry. It's been a bit…” Nathan pulled open his robe and got them positioned. He grabbed a blanket from beside him and draped it over them. “I want them to go right back to sleep after this… I really need a nap.” “Understandable…” Dax sat down on the edge of the bed with him. “I can do the next feeding if you'd like.” “Thanks… Yeah, I really need a nap,” Nathan said. “That's why I'm here, No worries.” Sydryn went to the door. “I'll come back a little later for the measurements. Rest well.” “Okay. Thanks, doc.” “Don't mention it.”

Rescue Me

Aoife watched him pour the drink and was about to answer his question when she heard what sounded like Sam’s laugh coming from across the room.  The blonde turned with a smile, ready to greet the bar main but she could see the moment Sam stepped forward that she was very drunk.  Aoife rolled her eyes with a sigh, it was clear in that moment that the fun evening she had hoped to have was not going to happen.  Her thoughts immediately turned to getting Sam home and tucked up in bed before she drank any more but that thought immediately vanished as a man tumbled out after her and Aoife was subjected to the sight of the two of them kissing passionately. @itsrogersandco​

The older blonde jumped down off the stool she was perched on and stood, suddenly frozen to the spot as nausea built in her stomach but she was unable to tear her eyes away.  Even as the kiss ended Aoife stood watching the scene.  A cold shiver ran down her back and her chest grew tight as breathing became harder in that moment.  Instead of saying anything she turned back to Justin. “What do I owe you for the wine?” she asked simply, aware that tears were beginning to form along her lashes and not sure what she was actually doing.

Justin watched as the blond at the bar took in what was happening on the other side of the room. He glanced over toward Sam and the stranger for a second before cursing under his breath. He was going to have to talk to her about this. He liked Sam when she was sober, but he couldn’t have her doing this very night. It was bad for business, and it was worse for Sam. “I take it you’re Aoife?” Yeah, he knew her name. One night last week Sam had managed to get drunk and stay at the bar instead of getting drunk and going home with some random person. Sam had broken down to him, telling him all about the woman she had been seeing. Justin knew that Sam felt that she didn’t deserve someone as amazing as Aoife. He knew that Sam’s self destructive behavior was probably about to end her relationship, that was, unless Aoife wasn’t ready to give up. “It’s on the house,” Justin said with an apologetic smile.

Sam pulled back from the man who was kissing her. She whispered something in his ear and the man pulled something out of his pocket. Sam giggled and nodded then opened her mouth, and the man placed something on her tongue. “Shit,” Justin said. “I don’t want to have to call the cops, can you take care of her if I get him out of here?”

Day 1182

Okay so I already done fucked this so let's go again here reee to deleting things.

It's been 3 1/4 years since I started this and so much has changed. Let's start at the beginning shall we. Last time we were here I was stressing about exam results and my place in the world. Here's my thoughts kinda ordered but also really not.

Leaving home; Well, the first and biggest event was leaving home to go live w my dad. Tbh I think the less said the better

Relationship; My longtime crush asked my out and I was crazy enough to not initially accept him! We all went together as family members to go see Cosmo Sheldrake which was incredible multigenerational experience even if I was exhausted

Swimming; This was not the greatest of days. I was so overwhelmed that I couldn't even get out of bed to go on a day I'd really looked forward to with my 2 best friends. I think I worried them but just ghosting out but I was really touched how they completely turned my day around. It was also during that period which we absolutely abused free cinema tickets to go see mamma Mia 2 and into the fade (weird German movie)

We got Harry and Peter

Prom, picnic: I'd had my hair and nails done with mog and it was insanely hot. well it all started with morrigan and finn coming over to watch the handmaiden. They stayed the night and it was lovely but I felt like absolute garbage the next day, which was when we were supposed to go on a picnic but I ended up on my dad's bathroom floor for most of the day. I still felt a bit woozy the day after for prom but I just had to keep drinking and I was okay despite nearly flashing many people including my tutor and head of year. I stayed at mogs but didn't go to the after party bc of the obvious shiteness. I had a lovely or not so lovely chat with finn on the floor. We all eventually passed out in a spoon train only to be awoken by Joanna throwing malteasers at us through the window.

Budapest; this meant I ended up going to London twice in about 3 days. The first trip was with finn and Dom to go see flight of the conchords. It was fantastic. Then came the trip to buda. We travelled to Lucy's House where we had amazing pizza and a fitful night's sleep. Then caught a taxi and an insanely early bus to Heathrow. We made it and the ended up having to pelt across Munich. When we arrived in buda the first mishap was Radley getting yeeted off of the bus by the driver and they had to sneak back on. Then we went to our lovely apartment and then did all the usual things of sightseeing, looking at museums, going to the baths and ruin bars as well as cat cafes. The house of terror and the hospital in the rock were really amazing experiences. Also surprisingly there were some really cool thrift stores! Then we came back and ended up getting stuck at Heathrow by missing our bus by like 2 minutes. Luckily radleys dad picked us up for the long journey back home.

Our birthday happened at some point maybe hereish?

Exam results; I was insanely stressed about these. I couldn't sleep the night before. Morrigan messaged me in the morning to say she'd gotten her results before ucas was technically supposed to open so of course I checked. I was able to tell my dad before we even left the house and he cried. We met my mum down at school to collect my actual results and then went for tea. I got a monkey card which was honestly the most exciting thing.

Greenman; we actually had tent poles this time and I married an alien.

Camping; we met up with some people we haven't met up with for ages and we basically had freedom to fuck around in Lyme Regis and the surrounding areas. I got a load of cool free badges from a vintage shop owner because I helped him sort them. There were so many other cursed shops it was great especially the penny arcade where we spent a lot of our time. Also I lost the end of my toe to a wall in Lyme Regis which was real exciting. On our way back the worst happened and I had to pee in someone's driveway.

Greenbelt; I've already kinda talked about this but I've never been to a place where I know so many artists. It was so nice to be independent but also have a great time with my dad and rest of the family. It was the first time we'd been there alone for a very very long time.

Uni prep; this was wild and I couldn't do it and kinda had a breakdown which included spreading my stuff all over the living room. Finn came over and calmed me down so much.

Coming to uni; my dad brought me up here to Manchester with all my badly packed stuff. We moved in and he gave me this real cute necklace and painting which made me cry which set him off. We set up my room and he left. I just sat down and didn't know what to do with myself. So I did the thing only a normal person would do and knock on every single door in my block in the hope that someone would answer and one person did! It was Emily. I felt so awkward the first time just like sat with her. Luckily I encouraged her to go around again and I met more people. When my family came up to see me we even dragged Dan and Albert out with us.

Freshers; this was incredible. I met so many people at jcr events in Vickies. It was so sweaty and crowded. There were two biggish events for me. The first one was the palaver of deansgate takeover. I forgot my ID. I tried to take the bus back but it took me to the wrong accommodation. Then found somebody willing to buy me an uber and come to my accommodation where we luckily picked up chloe as well. We then finally made it in. This was the night I met Gabriel. Secondly was the night I boycott the festival and met up with randoms in Plymouth . It was great fun even if we don't really talk. However this was all a little marred by Finns breakdown at freshers. We were all so worried.

First semester was just a time of getting familiar with everything and messing around, learning how uni and essays worked. I went to Swansea to surprise Finns for the weekend and he almost cried. Also travelling back from mogs at 2am we just got left by the bus driver which was interesting to say the least.

Christmas and New year: this was a crazy time, we had a really nice few Christmas days. The first actual one was with mum. We basically just ate and watched TV throughout the day. Then there was one where we met up with the cousins which was indeed lovely. Grandma went into hospital on new year's eve, we kinda knew it was the beginning of the end. This meant my entire new year's was nervous but I felt surrounded by friends still.

Now. The here and now. Everything this still crazy. I feel a load closer with my flatmates. We've laughed, cried and gotten drunk. We've danced all night and done all manners of dumb shit. There's been love and slightly less anger. We had an amazing dinner dance the other night and it was truly fantastic to be there with people. After was a also really good fun and we cuddled together until about 7am. Beside my flatmates I've met many great people through our Friday drinks. Aurora, zillion, luke, Danny, jess, gabby and karin etc. I've also got to see kash, aoife and phoebe again. Finn came to see me in Manchester for an entire week so he also met them. It snowed loads and was wonderful. We cooked, slept, messed around, watched films whatever and it was great.

The future-- for me in the short term its relatively simple. I just need to write essays and pass my classes and it's all gucci. However the day after tomorrow is brexit and the who really knows?

Horror AU

I’ve been playing this horror VN and i’m just thinking about how the NEMI characters would fare in a typical horror scenario. Here are a couple of random ramblings about this. - I’m partial to the whole, group of teenagers go stay in a suspicious mansion and get trapped within sorta scenario. Probably they all were staying there on a school trip and get the good old, cliche, trapped by a storm, all contact to civilization gets cut off treatment.

-I also very much like scenario's that involved curses or vengeful spirits that were wronged so there’s always some sort of curse-breaking process that needs to happen to solve the scenario? It’s usually related to the place they’re in. 

- I imagine it starting off like a supposed murder mystery where someone dies and everyone’s debating between the murderer being one of the group or an unknown extra individual. I can see Roman getting to go all Sherlock Holmes while everyone else gives him shit for it.  - Roman is just going to upset everyone by flat out telling them that they’re all guilty till proven innocent and he’s the fucking authority on this shit because hello, actual genius?  

- Little did he realize it was a spook.

- I see it starting off very umineko-esque, like the murder is committed in a way that would be impossible for a human and half the cast is like, okay but this is how it could have happened and the other half is like IT’S A FUCKING GHOST WE’RE DEAD.

- they’d probably do the whole cliche, everyone stay in the same room so we can all keep an eye on each other till we figure out who it is thing. 

- until of course some problem with the mansion splits them up, like the power going out or something. 

- There would definitely have been rumors about the mansion, some old story about a murder that most of the cast know. 

- I can also see it being a really bloody murder, with like, the person being ripped apart from the inside or, having wounds that the evidence points to being self-inflicted, but there being absolutely no reason why they would’ve done that.

- The ghost would be the sort that preys on peoples weaknesses and appears in different forms, which is perfect because so much of the cast has personal problems it’d be great to fuck them up with that. Elvira would see her siblings, Roman would see his mother. Day would see Wolfgang and oh boy would that be a fun time. 

- You know there’s sometimes that one character that just loses their fucking mind and tries killing everyone? I think that could totally be Day, especially if he’s getting supernatural Wolfgang hallucinations. It wouldn’t be too hard to imagine since he’d already he’d only be concerned with himself and Bianca I feel like he’d turn on the others the moment it becomes beneficial to him. - If we’re thinking about this as a VN with multiple endings, I feel like there’s definitely one ending where Bianca has no choice but to kill Day in order to save the others. 

- I think Hudson, Roman and Elvira would have to form library squad because they’re prone to finding out all the facts before jumping to conclusions. I imagine them being like, okay theres a rumored underground tunnel system we can use to get out of here but we need the house blueprints from the library, so they end up going there and also finding out more information about the ghost.

- I also think that’s the prime spot to have a ghost chase where those three actually see the ghost in it’s real form for the first time and realize that OH BOI, THIS SUPERNATURAL SHIT IS REAL HUH??? 

- i’m also a sucker for pointless relationship drama and stressful situations causing people to flip the fuck out and beat the shit out of each other. I can imagine a couple of people just straight up throwing hands when things get stressful enough. 

- Aoife and Roman would fight, Tavin and Roman would fight. Hudson might fight with some people because I feel like at a certain point, he’ll just be a neurotic, raving mess who just attacks anyone who annoys him. 

- There’s that cliche of the couple that realize how much they love each other only because they’re stuck in a life-threatening scenario? I feel like there are plenty of possible couples but I really like Veritas and Adras in that role because of all the IC issues they have. I’d love for them to have like, their personal spooky encounter where they get trapped somewhere hiding from the ghost and it’s obvious that they’re going to die and they’re like, we’re in this together there’s no one else i’d rather be with. And then they die in each other’s embrace.

- i’m a fucking terrible person.

- Tavin and Aoife would die fighting back against the ghost together. Or maybe fighting back against Day when he goes fucking psycho. They’d probably put up a good fight but they’d probably die since, come on you can’t just fight a ghost mate.   okay more thoughts tomorrow maybe.

character sheet!! aoife mahsa

(tagged by @thefateofivalice​ ! tagging @uldahnwitch​ , aaand I’m not sure who else hasn’t been tagged already) 

 Appearance -

Gender: Female Race: Seeker of the Sun Miqo’te Height: 5′3″ *the height is struck through several times with charcoal* Eye Color: Hazel Hair Color: Naturally blond but (messily) dyed red since she was a kid Skin Color: Peachy Fur: N/A (do tails count? her tail is the same colors as her hair) Scars: A bit under her right eye from an ill-advised fistfight with a mage

The Facts -

Name Day: 23rd of the 5th Umbral Moon Occupation: A few varieties of imperial nuisance (bard, inconvenient information-digger, smuggly tavern lady, meddling Echo person) Sexual/romantic identification: No restrictions no items final destination Alignment: Chaotic Good Criminal History: Nothing official, one stubbornly suspicious Adder accountant Relationship Status: Single. Sweet on: A rotating series of crushes that she has no motivation to seriously pursue

Favorites –

Favorite food: Buttons in a blanket  Favorite drink: She’s a lightweight and tries to avoid alcohol unless she’s in a secure location with friends who she trusts to not magically record anything Favorite scent: Food when somebody made it JUST for her Favorite person: Her sister when her sister isn’t mad at her, anybody who is talented at deflecting magic when her sister is mad at her

Randoms –

Ten facts about your muse:

-An area stray cat took a liking to her house because she fed him too many times and named him Archon Cuddlemuffins.

-She has the Echo and regarded it as a huge inconvenience for 2/3 of her life until she was shown how she could use it to help people and complement her lack of fight strength as an adult.

-Her East Shroud tavern, Spookeasy, serves as a waypoint for moving supplies and, occasionally, healers to those in the Shroud who Hearers can’t or won’t help.

-She and Lu were born on Mazlaya and came to Eorzea around the time of the Calamity. They think their mother thinks they’re both peacefully studying in Gridania and Ul’dah respectively, thanks to Lu’s letters that insist that Nothing of Interest is Happening Whatsoever.

-Their mom knows they’re full of shit.

-Her mother and sister are talented mages but Aoife herself has very little practice manipulating external aether, since the tradition of her mother’s tribe was to train the eldest daughter only. Recently in Gyr Abania she’s taken interest in red magic because it’s a different process that lets her do backflips and satisfies the part of her that grew up on hero stories.

-Her father was a Tia from the Thanalan U tribe who met her mother while exploring a ruin, and he’s so laidback and lazy that even Aoife gets frustrated with him.

-Her birth name is L’Septha Mahsa, but the number of people who can safely call her Septha can be counted on one hand. She picked “Aoife” from a book as a “stage name” because she was frustrated correcting people’s pronunciations of “L’Septha”, but then half the people she met couldn’t read “Aoife” right either.

-She has a short superficial temper but it’s hard to get her absolutely furious and she hates when that happens because she stammers and completely seizes up.

-Although she'll sometimes embellish stories for dramatic effect, she’s a basically-honest storyteller and tells about things that have actually happened to her or her friends. It’s just that, considering her and her friends tend to be Eorzean Weirdness Magnets, she has a 50/50 chance of actually being believed by an audience.

Five Things -

5 Things they like:

-FOOD -Trees she can climb -Getting a crowd wrapped up in a story -Trying flashy things and having them succeed -Good times with friends

5 Things they dislike: -People eating her food without permission -Having to travel through open spaces without cover -When someone tries to one-up a story she’s telling -Trying flashy things and having them fail spectacularly -Garleans ruining good times with robots and stuff

5 Good Habits: -She’s protective of her friends -She’s a people-person who frequently tries to fold in people who have a hard time being social -Slowly growing into a Mom Friend has helped her curb some of her worst impulses -Has a soft spot for helping underdogs and people who can’t defend themselves, although until recently this meant finding sneaky non-combat solutions. -Avoids unnecessary combat when solo because she will not win 5 Bad Habits: -Carries grudges harder than a tonberry -Isn’t good with money on her own and would probably be up a creek if it weren’t for her manager Popola Pola -...Tends to sneak off and leave Popola to deal with difficult situations at Spookeasy. -Is very bad at asking for help when she needs it, which sometimes causes even worse trouble for her friends when they have to fish her out. -Has an Unnecessary competitive streak

5 Personalities they gravitate toward: -People she can easily make laugh -People willing to take some ribbing and dish it back out to her in good fun  -People who can keep a sense of humor in stressful situations

5 Personality types they avoid: -People who argue for the sake of arguing -Authorities who strike her as particularly inflexible -People with aggressive, explosive tempers -PEOPLE WHO TRY TO MAKE THE DEAD WALK AROUND

5 Fears:

-(Most) Thaumaturges, except for the handful she’s befriended and can probably trust not to turn her into a frog, or a stack of frogs.

-Ghosts and undead. She’ll dress up as a ghost to prank Gridania around All Saints’ Wake, but will get hypocritically mad if someone does the same to her.

-Letting bad things happen through indecision or hesitation.
