Finding Batboy

First| Previous | Next

Phantom

King

Fenton

Apprentice

Batboy

He just wanted to be Danny. Just Danny, nothing else.

But who was Danny anymore?

Danny was a 14-year-old boy who died in a tragic accident. Danny had a decent life with friends and a sister who he loved. Danny wanted to be an astronaut and loved the stars. Danny had an astrology phase that made him so annoying to everyone but Sam. Danny liked dogs and cats hated him for no reason no matter how much he loved them. Danny wanted to join the robotics club with Tucker. Danny still snuck into his sister's room when he was scared to sleep in her bed.

But Danny is dead. Danny has been dead for years now.

He missed being Danny.

Now he was Phantom.

No past.

No home.

No family.

But if that was true, what did that make Dick?

Just another person that he would have to leave behind. It wouldn't be long. History doesn't repeat but it rhymes. It can't last. It won't.

Danny flew to some abandoned factory located somewhere in Gotham. He hadn't really paid much attention. He just needed a desolate place to land. Somewhere even the ghosts have long abandoned.

Truthfully Danny didn't want to be alone. A part of him felt the urge to find that revenant that he had met. Something that felt familiar to him, someone that could understand.

But right now Danny wanted to rest and he wasn't picky about where. He wrapped his wings in a tight cocoon and plopped on the ground. His sleep was deep, more than he ever remembered having before, except once.

Danny walked through the halls of a spiraling tower that overlooked the Ghost Zone. The tower was decorated with stars and moons. Mist hovered just above the floor creating a icy blue carpet. Ghost sheep napped in corners. The scent of poppy and pine filled the air.

As Danny ascended to the top he met with a familiar face. Nocturne the ghost of dreams. The ghost's thick bridged nose reminded Danny of that of a sheep that matched his curled ramhorns. His red eyes with horizontal pupils reminded him of a demonic ram he had seen in a horror movie once. Danny could practically hear that line again: "Would thou like to live deliciously?"

It still gave Danny chills.

"Please refrain from making such comparisons." Nocturne said, his voice deep but soft at the same time.

Danny had gotten to know Nocturne some time ago. Apparently, he and Clockwork were close. They shared a high rank among ghosts as they were abstract manifestations rather then being that were once living like some. The hierarchy of ghosts was complex, and Nocturne was not someone to look down on.

"Nox, why am I here?" Danny said standing before the seven-foot frame of the amorphous ghost.

"You are spending too much time in the material realm. If you don't get time back in the realm to which you belong you'll go mad. It's already starting to happen. I stole your mind away for a bit to give you a mental break but your body is already starting to break down." Nocturne said waving a finger at him.

"My body and brain are fine Nox." Danny said crossing his arms.

Nocturne picked the boy up with one hand and held him at eye level.

"You are having trouble shifting are you not? Its not coming as easily as it should. The more attached you get to a form without the energy from our world to break it up the worse it will be. The Ghost of Time has already told me of the problem. You must stay here for the time being and recover. It is what's best. Mental weakness is the worst one can suffer and the remedy is sleep." Nocturne's breath smelled like warm milk and cinnamon. It calmed Danny's nerves and made his eyes heavy.

Clockwork had put him up to this. That old man...really was....annoying....Zzzz.

Back in the world of the living and awake mass panic has broken out.

Batboy is currently missing and Nightwing is not handling it well. The entirety of the Gotham Vigilantes team has been notified and is searching the cities of Gotham and Bludhaven.

"Have you searched the docks?" Nightwing asked frantically as he searched every rooftop in the city.

"I'm working on it. Do you really think he's here?" Red Robin said scanning every unit on the lot.

Red Hood didn't know what the BatBoy kid looked like other than the whole wings thing. If his little buddy Phantom could help it would help.

Although they had a slight resemblance Jason could see too many differences when looking at the pictures. Phantom had round ears, and silver hair that moved like fire and looked like a human. Batboy had long sharp ears, claws, pointy teeth, blueish-green skin, wings, and a white fluff around his neck. Clearly, they were different.

Batman searched the dark allies of Gotham as Signal and Orphan split up to cover as much ground as possible. Oracle searched every camera from the past few hours for the boy.

The good news was that Batboy was found. The bad news was who found him.

"Poor little Bluebird lost his fledgling and Batsy is looking for the lost pup. I should let them know that the little guy has been found! Ahahahaha!"

Wait lemme just—

This is such a stupid thought but I originally pondered how Cedric would kiss someone, then remembered noses are made of cartilage so it would probably just bend or something...

[sinful-lanterns]

Ok, so I saw the Chelsea pearl cum thirst and for obvious reasons my mind went to oviposition, and then I got the best idea ever.

I present to you...

✨Path to Nowhere Monster AU!✨

Reader a regular, everyday citizen somehow finds herself in the middle of many monsters getting infatuated with her then they proceed to try court reader and make her their mate.

I got a good list of what type of monsters I think the sinners would be, I also wanted to keep a variety of monsters so there aren't any doubles.

Cheif - Witch

Nightingale - Cheif's apprentice or familiar

Uni - Frankenstein Monster

Cinnabar - Centaur

Ninety-Nine - Hellhound

Rahu - Werewolf

Oak Casket - Litch or something else undead/ that affiliates with dead things

Hamel - Puppet or Kraken

NOX - Grim Reapper

Bai Yi - Jinn (I looked it up and jinns move super fast and can phase through solid matter.)

Serpent - Naga

Shalom - Fallen Angel

Lamia - Siren

Chealse - Gorgon (She turns people into gems instaed of stone, she can turn things into gems with physical contact too, oh and her hair can shift between human hair and snake hair.)

Cassia - Vampire

Eirene - Dragon

Stargazer - Geinie

Conquelic - Succubus

Garofano - Drider(Half human, half spider)

Deren - Reality Bending Eldritch Horror (I don't have a name for her monster specifically but she'd be some kind of godly horror.)

This is all I have right now, but feel free to use and change whatever you wish!

This is an old thirst but I’ve been saving it for when I was ready to share my thoughts on it 😌

ANYWAYS HHHHHHH. Monster girls are my obsession rn. Rather than an ordinary citizen though, I imagine Reader could be like a curious researcher who likes to document and explore different territories in which monsters inhabit. As she is wandering aimlessly for her research though, she stumbles upon various different monster women (many of which want to claim Reader for themselves) and it leads to interesting scenarios with them and the poor Researcher.

Researcher! Reader who oftentimes finds herself in the coils of a lamia, trapped in the web of a drider/arachne, or stuck in the middle of a vampire orgy while on her expeditions. Multiple times has she been the object of these monsters’ affection, yet all she wants to do is finish her guidebook on monsters and biology 😅

Oh, poor Reader… unfortunately for her, monster girls are attracted to cute oblivious nerds 😭😭

Welcome Back to the Collection of the Odd Cryptid's Writings

Hi! I'm Athens/Andy (they/them). I am a somewhat old yet somewhat new face on writeblr. I'm currently a second year student at a university in the deep south, studying history and anthropology in order to become a museum curator. Most of my free time is spent writing, which is the driving force behind this blog. Writing has become the love of my life over the past ten years.

AthensWrites has had two prior iterations. All I posted here in the previous iteration was privated, including Not Your Typical Fairytale. Don't fear, NYTF will make a glorious return ;)

With all that said, welcome back to the odd writings of Athens, and I hope you enjoy your stay. Below the cut, I've detailed some of my current projects, which range from Sci-Fi (my favorite) to thrillers to fantasy to realistic fiction. I've highlighted key content warnings and tags for each, just to keep you aware. If you'd like to hop on a tag list for any of these stories, please let me know! Some of them I post more frequently than others. I am also very tag list and tag game friendly so PLEASE tag me in stuff. If you need other people to tag in a writeblr tag game, look no further than this post!

The collection is constantly updating and evolving, so stay tuned!

Not Your Typical Fairytale (#nytf)

Although originally planned as a standalone novel, NYTF has now expanded into three separate books: Knight of Dawn, Queen of Noon, and King of Dusk. There's an additional collection of short stories/untold stories planned as well, tentatively titled Pawn of Midnight.

Content warning: gore, death, violence, graphic scientific experimentation, derealization, paranoia, drug use and abuse, alcohol use, child abuse (physical, verbal), relationship abuse (verbal, manipulation), sex (consensual) Related tags: nytf, Piers Hall, Grady Yensey, Rene Dubois, ATLZoS

Knight of Dawn

Piers Hall is the newly crowned monarch of the post-apocalyptic State of Georgia, after their mother, Queen Adele, was declared unfit to rule. Despite meaning well, they find themself unprepared for the role, especially as political rivals, like North Carolina’s President René Dubois and Councilmember Shanna Miles, close in on their tail, seemingly threatening to topple their rule. When various palace staff start to show where their real loyalties, it seems like Grady Yensey, Commander of the Royal Guard and their closest friend, is the only one they can trust. Piers and Grady must scramble to uncover the truth behind Queen Adele’s questionable associates, Piers’ missing past, and President Dubois’ shady activities

International Alliance of Superhumans (#iash)

Superhumans have existed as long as we have, normal people who suddenly develop seemingly magical powers overnight. That’s why the International Alliance of Superhumans was founded in 1945, to help control these superhumans to better humanity. Now, the Alliance's ideals and control is falling apart, as the Underground and the Union threaten its weakening rule over the superhuman community. Fireball is the golden hero of the Alliance , the face of the organization, the beloved apprentice of the Chief Administrator after the death of the one and only GoldenSon. He’s brave, courageous, kind, and always up to take a photo with the kiddos, accompanied by his partner, NightSong. He’s taken down villains from Quantum Rift (the killer of GoldenSon) to Árbol Terror, and now has his eyes set on taking down Hueso Blanco and Morpheus Nox before they can tear a hole in reality. Brigid Roberts is the face behind the mask of Fireball. They’re the only child of the now-deceased Nikki Roberts and find have found themself seeking revenge for Nikki’s death…while also trying to manage this superhero business and their senior year of high school. It doesn’t help that the administration of Wesmoreland keeps threatening to expel them for their aggressive behavior. Hueso Blanco is the epitome of an ex-Alliance villain, a well beloved hero fallen from grace, after Árbol Terror and Quantum Rift convinced him to join the Underground. Now with both of his former allies dead, he leads the Underground, and with the help of Morpheus Nox (an up and coming villain with a terrifying similarity to Quantum Rift) he plans to tear a hole in our reality, ripping out world apart. Martin Garcia-Flores is the sole caretaker of his younger brother, Elias, and would do anything to protect him. After the Alliance's violent threats, he left, in order to protect what was left. He lost friends and family and his love to the Alliance's corrupted side, and now works tirelessly to bring it to his knees…while also trying to work three separate jobs to keep himself and Elias afloat. When fate brings Brigid and Martin face to face, maskless and vulnerable, the two come to understand they may not be as different as they’d both previously thought.

Space Clue/The Murder of Fredrik Lexand (#tmfl)

In 2183, humans abandoned earth as her ecosystems collapsed and became uninhabitable. Now, the remnants of humanity live in the Lexand Starfleet, a group of 16 name-brand ships, sailing towards deep space. In control of it all is Fredrik Lexand, the 17th great grandson of the original founder of Lexand StarFleet. From his living pod at the head of StarSeeker Alpha, he controls everything and anything that happens to humanity, from their food to their spouses to where the remnants of humanity will travel to. The weight of the world on one man’s shoulders (who are we kidding, of course he has lackeys who do all the menial work), worshipped as a god. Until the morning he is found brutally dismembered, mangled parts of his body strewn all over his office. Humanity freezes, watching intently, as the Lexand Pod is locked down by Detective Scoud Tambry, swearing to uncover the killer, and avenge the Corporate god-king.

Frigid Nightmare

Snippets from @xysidhequeen AU. Based on the question about Jason comforted Danny after a nightmare...

Jason slumped back against the wall, his chest heaving as he drained a bottle of water mixed with ectoplasm. His training with Fright Knight was over, and it had been a year and a half since he came out from the grave, six months since he was knighted as Red Knight, four months since he discovered that Batman had replaced him, with mere seven months after his death.

The pain welled up in Jason's heart and soul - the same pain that had driven him to mow down the rebellion in another realm who dared to challenge Danny. Danny had seen him that day, standing alone amidst the demon corpses as their blood caked his human form. His eyes were raised to the sky, which burned orange from battle, and tears rolled down his cheeks unchecked.

Jason took a deep breath, squeezing his eyes shut and willing himself not to be dragged back down into despair. The members of his newfound family tried their best to keep him in the present moment, teaching him how to allow himself to express hurt and anger without being punished for it.

Fright Knight's dark figure towered over Jason, his gaze unwavering. His deep voice rumbled through the room. "Are you well, my apprentice?"

Jason hesitated before responding, unsure of how to express what he was feeling. "I'm ... just reminiscing Frighty."

Fright Knight hummed in response and knelt down before Jason, his eyes softening with compassion. "As I said before, no one has ever been chosen as my apprentice before you, Jason Todd - King Phantom chose you, and I'll do my utmost best to ensure that you're strong enough to protect our liege."

Jason was warmed by Fright Knight's honesty. He knew from Jazz's counselling sessions that healing from trauma isn't linear - there will be highs and lows as well as scarring that must be endured. A wistful smile spread across his face as he thanked his mentor. 

"You're welcome, my apprentice," Fright Knight replied, standing tall once again before saying something else - but a high-pitched screech cut him off. Immediately, Fright Knight summoned a flaming green sword while Jason stood up with gun in hand, prepared to jump into action against any incoming attack.

His heart thundered in his chest, his core aflutter with anxiety and panic as he remembered the last time Danny had one of these episodes. Dread clawed at Jason's stomach as he and Fright Knight raced down the hallway leading to their liege's chamber, only to be stopped short by a violent blizzard raging between them and their King.

"Our liege is having a night terror again, we need to get Master Nocturne now!" Fright Knight yelled over the roar of the wind, looking at his apprentice with worry in his eyes. Jason could feel his vision tinge green as something inside of him screamed for him to go check on his King.

"Fright. You go on and get Nox, I'll go in to see our king is safe!" Jason shouted back, before sprinting into the howling storm.

"Jason!!" Fright Knight called out desperately, but his apprentice was already lost in the turmoil of snow and ice. With an exasperated curse, Fright Knight summoned his mount and set off to find Nocturne as quickly as possible.

Meanwhile, Jason trudged through the blizzard with his toned arms raised, shielding his face and the red flaming sword in the other. His breath came in ragged gasps, pluming out of his mouth and nose like smoke from a dragon's nostrils. "Mom! Dad! Please, I'm your son!" Jason heard Danny's voice yelled against the howling wind. 

"Don't ever call us that to our son's face, ghost!" Maddie Fenton's voice screamed back. Jason's heart sank as he recalled Danny's story of why he stayed in Infinite Realms. His parents had not taken kindly to his reveal, capturing him and nearly vivisecting him before his friends had saved him. The voices in the blizzard retold Danny's trauma again and again. "Dad! It hurts, Dad! It really hurts!" 

The frigid air felt like razors on Jason's skin, but his rage and core urged him forward like an animal spurred on by instinct. He thought of Danny, his king, HIS. The memory of the day when he went on a rampage came to mind, but instead of pure rage taking over, it was a controlled fury fueled by an unwavering desire to protect what mattered most to him.

"Where is my son? You're not my Danny'o!" Jack Fenton's words ricocheted through the storm as Jason continued on towards the frozen door.

Finally, he reached Danny's room and Jason grasped Ifrit, his red flaming sword, tightly in his dominant hand. With a single, powerful thrust of the blade, the intense heat blasting from its edge shattered the frozen door open. As the shards of wood flew outward into the hallway, Jason saw Danny curled on his bed with his hands over his hair. Thankfully, his body wasn't frozen. The chill that radiated through the room was colder than anything within Far Frozen and made Jason shiver as he rushed towards Danny whose body jolted in response to his voice.

"Danny!" he shouted out, his core sending the wave of protection and safety to Danny, who winced from the shout.

Jason's boots crunched through the snow as he approached Danny, kneeling down beside him. He grasped his King's shoulder, his own warmth spreading into the coldness of Danny's body. "Danny," he repeated softly, and felt the tension in his King's body ease slightly. 

Danny looked up, eyes widening in recognition and relief. "Jason?" he said, voice trembling.

Smiling reassuringly, Jason sent a wave of warmth and reassurance through his core. "I'm here, Danny. I'm here."

As if in response to their exchange, the blizzard outside ceased, and the room began to warm from within.

Danny inched closer to Jason, his exhausted body desperate for warmth. The embrace created a sense of safety as he felt Jason's toned arm tighten around him.

"Your parents?" Jason asked softly. Danny, too tired to speak, simply nodded in response.

"Do you want to sleep?" Jason asked, his fingers lightly stroking Danny's hair. He shook his head no and looked up at Jason with wide, pleading eyes.

"You're tired," Jason sighed, brushing a stray lock of hair away from Danny's face. "Do you want me to stay with you so you don't have to be alone?" Danny nodded again, relieved that he didn't have to speak.

Jason looked to the far corner of the room and saw a small puddle of melted ice where the frigid castle had been moments before. The knight hoisted up the tall, lanky king from the floor and carried him towards his bed, cradling him like a koala cub as he went. As he was about to lay the king down on the bed, Jason heard his mentor and Nocturne enter the room.

"I see you handled the situation, my apprentice," Fright Knight said as they stepped into the doorway.

"Yeah... He got the nightmare of his fucking parents..." Jason replied, tightening his grip around the helpless king protectively as Danny clung to him. He fought to keep his composure, reigning in his anger.

Nocturne, the ghostly figure of sleep and dream, swept into the room on a midnight breeze. He cast his gentle spell of slumber onto the King as he lay in Jason's arms, and watched with fondness to ensure his ward was at peace.

"That should keep him tucked in for a few hours," Nocturne said before turning to Jason. "Do you need my assistance, young Knight?"

Jason looked down at the King, peaceful and unaware, and then back to the ghost. "Nah, I'm good," he sighed. "I just need some time to calm down." Nocturne nodded silently, before he dissipated into the ether like a whisper.

Fright Knight stood in the doorway, illuminated by the faint candlelight in the room. His helmet blocked the majority of his ghostly features, but Jason could still detect a hint of pride in his mentor's voice. He paused for a moment and turned his helmet to glance at Jason, then said, “Rest well and be proud of how far you come, Jason Todd.” With that, Fright Knight disappeared into the shadows, leaving Jason alone with his king in his arms.

Danny snuggled close against Jason and he felt a wave of protectiveness wash over him. Rage coursed through him as he thought about Fentons - if he ever found them, they would fucking pay for what they have done to Danny. As Danny slept peacefully on his chest, Jason vowed to never let anyone hurt him again. He tightened his embrace around Danny and promised himself that when Danny needed him, he would always be there.

fun facts about these two below the cut<3

The pureblood is my dear Wrath of the Empire, Athanasius Kraherad. Neutral w/ a faint light lean, but that changes by the day. The other one is my Darth Nox, Orion Caecus-Kallig.

They are married. Athan's got his ring on, and Orion wears his on a chain bc he can't stand uneven pressure on his hands.

Athan has a lot of burn scars+shrapnel wounds scattered around from the cave-in on Qesh.

Orion is wearing compression gloves here, because the end of Act 2 SI fight gave him really nasty scars from force lightning(amongst other things). IRL electrical injuries can cause painful joint stiffness+arthritis, which compression garments can help manage:)

These two are feral little bastards about each other. You can see Athan's bite mark on his neck, but its a matching pair.

The lip piercings match!

They live together with all of their companions on Dromund Kaas+coparent/train the apprentices together.

Working Title; The Grey Collective

Star Wars AU

by: @funnypansexualanimorph and @tricksterscorvid

Character List: Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader, Obi-Wan Kenobi/Darth Rage, Luke Skywalker, Darth Sidious/Emperor, Raistlin Orniphicus (Darth Shirak), Tharisa Solarfall (Darth Nox), Auron Kisshin (Mandalorian), Leia Organa, Boba Fett

Summary:

In this AU we're exploring the idea of the 'what if Anakin actually did the Chosen One plotline, only he did it in the most complicated and extra way possible, because that's just how Skywalkers work' principle.

Drawing from both Legends and the 'Canon' movieverse, this A.U. leaves a few things well known the same, before blowing up 'canon' with, well… a space cannon.

concrete info:

the fight on mustafar does not happen; however Padme still dies in childbirth.

-Obi-Wan follows Anakin to the Dark Side in that instant instead, realizing his love for Anakin is too much to let him go.

Obi-Wan's fall is not expected or noticed by the other remaining Jedi, so they willingly hand baby Luke over to him, and him and Anakin flee to seclusion.

The Emperor agrees to let Anakin take Obi-Wan as his apprentice, and allows them to go train for a while in seclusion, however he is unaware they have Anakin's son. Anakin does not know about Leia.

After several dreams in which Anakin is visited by Qui-Gon's force ghost, they begin to seek out the Elders. who these beings are exactly, is unknown at first.

they narrow the search eventually to Geonosis, where they meet up with two Sith who have been alive through force-immortality related means, for a very very long time.

the next step beyond destroying the Jedi Temple, which has already been accomplished… is to destroy the Emperor… to do this… they need to destroy Sidious' planet of personal clones. Anakin decides the best weapon for the job is the Death Star.

the ancient sith they found decide to train Obi-Wan and Anakin, (and subsequently Luke) and end up taking them to various old abandoned temples that were quite active in their time, on planets half-forgotten to time.

young Boba Fett discovers Auron, who decides to train him as a foundling; we're just not talking about exactly how ancient Auron is quite yet.

So Pandora Siqrae!

She's the protagonist of a book i have planned (haven't even finished chapter 1)

She was a sorcerer apprentice who lived w/ her sister and nieces, and used to be named Anthe (greek for Flower). Her story has a shitton of flower symbolism, including the chapter titles

She's also an Origin Descendant but her only real non-human trait is having small horns that she hides w/ her hat. Her hair is dyed purple.

Her "themesong" is Honey I'm Home by Ghost and Pals

In the True Timeline / without Sid's influence, she would eventually become a powerful & important sorcerer who saves her Realm from a major catastrophe. Sid being Sid decided to keep the catastrophe happening via burning Pandora's village down and keeping only Pandora & her nieces as survivors.

Pandora didn't really have a choice but to join Sid in being a Parasite, so Sid gave Pandora some of their own powers. Pandora's also actually able to use most of the powers, while Sid can't.

She changed her name to Pandora & started dying her hair after destroying a Kingdom & talking to one of the survivors (she essentially explained the story of Pandora, the survivor asked if she was Pandora, and she was basically like "I suppose I am.")

She's terrified of foxes & fire thanks to Sid, and is generally very anxious and jumpy now.

She's also still technically training to be a Sorcerer, but now her only real teacher is Caul, the Neutral Judge who was a powerful sorcerer in life, & some spell books she found in the remains of a Kingdom & doesn't even know the language of (but they're strangely similar to the language Nox's mother's books were in, according to Nox.)

(Nox is the second oldest Ventus sibling, her mother died in childbirth so she never knew her. Nox is also a Draconic-human hybrid, but Sancto never said what realm Nox's mother was from)

^ a sketch comic i never finished bc i couldn't draw pan's glasses or hat. Sid is significantly taller than Pandora but was supposed to be leaning down somewhat. Pandora is 5'7.

Ohh wow that is a lot

That is.. very interesting

Of course Sidera fucked everything up

I feel bad for Pandora

also really cool never-finished-comic

And now the rest of characters recreated in Soul Calibur VI! I'll try to keep it shorter than the last post, but no promises.

(btw I made a sideblog, once I'm done with swtor related part of Soul Calibur VI, I'm moving all SC realted stuff there ---> @soul-engraver)

I kinda? figured out a way to make togrutas and twi'leks in SC. Sort of. The game does different species (races?), but none that resemble those from star wars. However, there are 3 slots for special equipment that can be positioned (almost) however you like, so I chose some that somewhat resemble lekku and montrals. It's pretty wonky, and placing these on the heads looks very silly, so I added headgear to cover it a little (though for some reason Iressa looks better without headgear, just the cornrows)

I know that I could just not recreate them here, but something about having these characters interact (even if only through fights) just brings me some joy.

(I say joy as if three of them don't have their lives ruined as the result of interacting with each other)

Hair and face are waaaay off, but this game lets me give Rya a double-bladed weapon that can separated in two blades, and that's exactly her fighting style in my headcanon (in SWTOR I have two versions of Rya, one as shadow, other as sentinel for this exact reason).

Here I tried to recreate Vylneer, Auletta's secret apprentice, and the reason she looks so different in these pictures is exactly because she is a secret apprentice.

The first outfit is her 'official' appearance. Nox can't exactly hide the fact that she has a second apprentice, but she went to great lengths to hide Vyl's identity. In public when she's known as Kallig's apprentice, Vylneer wears robes that cover every inch of her skin and make her body difficult to recognize, and a mask that also modifies her voice.

The second outfit is for her cover identity as a mercenary (though I'm not sure if she's hiding the Sith eyes or not), since she was already living among the gangs of Nar Shaddaa prior to her training. And the third is her new cover identity that was used to infiltrate the Alliance and spy on them. In order to make herself less recognizable, Vyl changed hairstyle and tattoos. The goal wasn't to completely change her appearance, because this cover identity is just a continuation of the previous one, just not revealed to most people (though she does slip up once).

And here's the rest of my OCs. Won't comment (bc it's a lot of characters to cover), just want to show them here.

[ An audio recording is attached. ]

[ “Here we go again,” Nox says, their voice tired but lighthearted. “Are you sure we should do this.”

“Those trees aren’t supposed to be there, I swear it,” Garnet replies. “This is place is scheduled for demolition, it’s been scheduled for months—and it just. I think it's a good place to start looking.”

“Does this count as trespassing?” Nox continues nervously. “Breaking and entering, maybe even?”

“It’s fine. Let’s go.” 

“Are we not calling Champion—”

“She’s got enough on her plate.” Garnet pauses. “Although. You don’t have to come if you don’t want to, genuinely. I’ll be fine on my own.”

“I’m coming,” Nox mumbles. “Just. Isn’t this. Illegal?”

“Not a crime if you don’t get caught,” Garnet says easily, and the mic picks up on a loud brush-rattle sound, probably her brushing past some shrubbery. “Recording is on, right?”

“Yeah,” Nox says. Then, under their breath, they add, “Thought you were supposed to be the adult here.”

“I heard that.”

“I know.”

They laugh. Both of them sound exhausted.

There’s a whir of an automatic door opening, and immediately the ambience of the audio changes. 

“...Oh,” Nox whispers. There’s a bit of shuffling, and the audio dampens. They probably shoved their recording device into their pocket.

“Don’t say anything, just follow my lead,” Garnet mumbles. She’s barely audible. 

“Can’t we leave?” Nox mumbles back.

“I want answers.”

“...Then I do too.”

“You sure?”

“Yeah.”

The soft tap-tap of Nox’s and Garnet’s footsteps are all there is to hear for a bit. The rhythm of their footsteps changes slightly, about half a minute into it.

“I hate stairs,” Nox mutters.

“Mm.”

Silence again.

After a while, someone suddenly shouts, “Hey, you! What are you doing here?”

“Us?” Garnet asks.

“Yes, you. Where are your uniforms?”

Nox takes in a sharp breath. Garnet says smoothly, “We’re new here. We’re on our way to pick them up.”

The voice huffs. “Verification of membership?”

“Hold on,” Garnet says, a smile in her voice.

“What are you doing,” Nox hisses.

“Trust me,” Garnet whispers back. “Ah!” she says aloud. “Here, just a moment—” There’s the sound of a Pokemon being released from a Pokeball. “Hypnosis.”

There’s a soft thump as someone hits the ground.

Nox sounds extremely disturbed. “I— let’s just hope no one saw—”

“HEY!” someone else shouts.

“Crap,” they mutter.

“Hypnosis,” Garnet says again. Another thump, more distant this time.

“Great Arceus above,” Nox whispers. “Does that hurt them?”

“They’re just asleep, they’re…probably fine. Let’s not have to do that again,” Garnet says, her tone just barely concealing the tremor in her voice. Whatever Pokemon she’d had out, she recalls. “Back straight, Nox. Chest out. Confidence. There you go.”

“I hate this,” Nox murmurs.

“Mm.”

More silence, as their footsteps take them up another floor of stairs, then another. Nox is breathing a little more heavily than when they’d started recording. Finally, they say, “Can we. Can we take a break?”

“Yeah,” Garnet says, and she’s a little short of breath too. “We’re getting close to the top floor, anyway.”

Nox groans quietly. “Awesome.”

“Mhm.”

Two minutes of quiet breathing, and finally, Nox says, “I think I’m good to go.”

“You sure?”

“Yeah.”

“Alright.”

The footsteps resume, and after a bit less than a minute, Nox mutters, “Ah. Bloody hell.”

“Who are you?” The asker’s voice is high-pitched, a little raspy, and extremely sassy. “I don’t know you.”

“I’m an inspector,” Garnet lies easily. “This is my apprentice. Are you the leader of the current inhabitants of this building?”

“Yes. Jupiter, she/her. If you're going to tell me about the demolition again I swear to all that is good and holy—”

“Don’t worry, I won’t,” Garnet says. “It’s so good to see a woman in a high position, by the way. You’re doing a great job.”

“Oh.” Jupiter laughs. “Thank you, I—”

“Also, are you by any chance associated with a Team Galactic?”

Jupiter goes quiet. Then she asks cautiously, “...How did you know?”

“The large G’s on your workers’ uniforms are a bit of a giveaway.”

“No, I mean— how did you know that we were here—”

“That’s not important. I—”

“Cross poison,” Jupiter hisses. A Zubat screeches and the mic picks up on the incoming flapping of fast-moving wings.

“GARNET—” There’s a thump, a ruffle of cloth, and a rather loud crack. Nox shouts in pain.

A beat of stillness. Then, “You bitch,” Garnet snarls— there’s the sound of a Pokeball opening. “Khione, Ice Shard.” A crash, and a thwack. “Good job. Jupiter, was it? You’re under arrest.”

“You can’t—”

“My Weavile just took out your Zubat in one hit. Are you really going to try to fight?”

“You still can’t arrest me, you’re not the police,” Jupiter snaps, and sends out yet another pokemon. “Boss will get you for this. Sayonara, bitch. Smokescreen.”

“...Arceus damn it,” Nox mutters. 

“She’s running,” Garnet says, her voice tinted with rage. “The coward. Are you alright?”

“Hurts,” Nox replies eloquently.

“Just. Stay there. I'll call help.” Garnet’s footsteps fade away, but she keeps talking, her voice starting to crack a little. “You can end the recording now, by the way.”

“Right.” Nox murmurs. There’s a small tap. ]

[ Recording ends. ]
