fuck it i’m posting this

remember that billy x oc smut i teased earlier? here it is! i have more to this but here’s what i’m comfortable posting for now >:3c

Billy Lenz X Chance, a trans male OC. No full on intercourse but they get pretty hot and heavy. I’d say this is a Lime on the citrus scale.

Summary: After weeks of pursuit, Billy Lenz gets some alone time with his new obsession. / Chance finally meets the asshole who’s been making obscene offers over the phone, and he’s honestly kind of into it...

Warnings: Non con/dub con into consensual. Trans male character with some female coded language to refer to his body. All characters are in their 20s but there’s a vague line that alludes to Chance’s childhood.

it almost seemed like I could get away - but his unpredictability was on his side. I’m pinned down by billy lenz as he’s finally caught me, all part of some sick game he’s been playing. the threat of the mystery caller - that creep on the phone who’s been dying to shove his tongue up my tight piggy cunt (his words, not mine) - seemed so distant before but it’s real now. if only I’d known to investigate the noises I’d heard at night…

I don’t know what he’s got planned for me as he pins me down on the couch, wrists held down above my head in one of his hands. but there’s something oddly tender about the way his free hand strokes my cheek before he presses his thumb against my lips, wanting me to open for him. I part my lips and let him in, suck on his thumb as he slowly fucks it in and out of my mouth.

this pleases him. “greedy little cunt,” he says teasingly, starting to probe my mouth with his thumb. running it over the sharp points of my teeth, pressing down on my tongue. “all worked up and sucking my thumb like it’s my fat, juicy cock. haven’t even got it out yet, must be fucking dripping for me.”

I don’t do much - I can’t do much in this position - my roommates are out of the house for the next couple hours, and who knows who could help me out here when the pervert who’s been hiding our attic has pounced on me? at the very least, we’re in the front room on the couch across from the window, and anyone who’s on the street could probably see me. pinned down under his weight, no doubt looking filthy as he presses a knee between my legs.

the pressure on my clothed sex makes me gasp slightly, and he just pushes deeper in my mouth. his obscene muttering continues, taunting me for how badly I must want him. he remembers, the way I’d pick up the phone and hang up the second I realized it was him. it made him switch tactics - pretending to be someone running a fundraiser or telling me I won a free cruise to the Bahamas, then flipping the switch and revealing who it really was.

that just pissed me off even more! but even so, I just avoided staying on the line... I try to think about what I could’ve done to provoke this, but the reality of him above me, physically here to make good on his promises, fills my head with a haze.

good thing he remembers for me.

“go fuck a light socket, pig,” he sneers, in an unnerving impression of my voice. “took you long enough to figure out it was me. who else would call you?”

he pulls his thumb out of my mouth, but doesn’t give me time to respond. “I never hear your friends on the phone, no one asks for you, it’s just little old Billy calling for you, isn’t it?” he pokes my nose, almost playfully.

I start to speak but he just grinds his knee against me, and chuckles when my body reacts to his friction. “you like that?”

“I -“

words fail me. all I can do is nod and whine and hope he doesn’t stop, it feels so good. my head rolls back slightly, and I struggle to keep my eyes on him.

“if you like that you’re going to love this.”

he reaches his hands behind my back, pulling me up to a sitting position. in the sudden movement I almost don’t realize he’s released my hands. but then he grabs my wrist again, and guides it up his thigh to grope at the growing bulge in his pants.

“gonna love how this feels splitting you open,” he continues, pressing my hand against his hardening cock, almost like he’s using me to jerk himself off. “when’s the last time you had something this big in your tight little cunt?”

“I - I don’t know,” I respond, my arousal and nerves making it hard to respond coherently. I mean, not that he’s very coherent either, but I still feel like I’m going to screw something up and he’s going to disappear, back to wherever he came from. never to be seen or heard from again. it scares me. but then again, if he’s been in our attic… he’s seen enough of me already, he would’ve left earlier if he was going to. “I had finals, I haven’t had time to... “

“aww, you poor, needy thing,” he coos, pulling me into his lap. “don’t worry, billy’s gonna fill you up.” he grabs my hips and grinds up against me, and it throws me off balance. I fall forward, and brace myself on either side of him. I’m able to use the back of the couch to push myself up to sit again, to grind back against him.

my face is close enough to his now that I can smell his sour breath, see his half lidded eyes watch me bouncing on his lap. watch me like he must have been for days? weeks? there’s a sick part of me, deep down, that gets a thrill knowing he’s been watching me all along. and now he’s at just the right angle to see my cleavage down my shirt.

this seems to … inspire him. his hands leave my hips and I hear the zipper. I can tell by the way he’s moving - shaking, almost - that he’s taken that juicy cock he’s bragged about in his hand and he’s jerking it for all it’s worth. but he won’t leave me out of the fun, of course - he guides my hand to it, and I gasp when I realize I can barely get my fingers around it. he only smirks at me in response, moving my hand for me.

I swallow, collecting myself. “please, I want you inside me.”

he stops completely - narrowing his eyes at me. his grip still tight on my wrist, though he’s moved it away from his body.

“say that again.”

“um,” I say. “I want you inside me.” his gaze is burning through me. here it is, isn’t it? Chance fucked up and did something weird without even realizing and now this guy doesn’t want anything to do with him, just like the kids at school.

but he doesn’t leave me, doesn’t even let go. just stares at me.

“I mean, if you want… we don’t have to,” I say finally. “do you want to? we can stop.”

he’s looking at me like I’ve grown another head. every bit of sex advice a straight person has ever given me is going through my head right now. on one hand, I know I should ask for consent and all first right? on the other… have I ruined the mood? is it really a sin to talk about it?

“no!” he says suddenly. “don’t stop, keep going, I - I want you too.”

the way he says that - there’s an air of seriousness to it, like he’s declared his last will and fucking testament or something.

I turn the tables on him - nod and smirk and guide his hand to my crotch, letting him brush against me through my clothes. it’s not much, since the fabric of my pants is so thick, but seeing his eyes light up as he starts rubbing me more is worth it all.

I start to unbutton my pants, then suddenly remember where I am. the curtains are open, sunlight coming in from the front window. right. anyone on the street could see us like this.

“wait,” I say slowly. “could we move this to my room? people can see us from here… and I have condoms in my room.”

“I know,” he says smugly, but doesn’t make much of an effort to move. “you’d hate to let them see you like this, huh? spread open for me…”

“yeah,” I say finally. “as … hot as that would be… what if there’s kids around, y’know? and besides, I also don’t want you catching something.”

“oh? right, right, and you don’t want me to knock you up either, do you?” he looks amused with himself.

I can’t help but turn away for a second, suddenly flustered even though I’m seemingly more in control of the encounter now. damn breeding kink. “yeah, I mean I got an IUD, so that’s not a risk right now.”

“scandalous! you know those promote promiscuous behavior.” he says that in another voice, laughing.

I give him a playful shove and get up. “come on, I have lube in there, I’m gonna need it for - you know.”

“oh, no I don’t, actually, what ever would you need lube for? my fat, juicy cock?” he teases, and gives me a shove in return. it’s a little too hard and makes me stumble but I recover easily, and take his hand to pull him to my room.

ahhh okay okay,, rahma ... or bitty for that soft headcanons game?

how about both!! i’ll give you both!!

(under a cut for length!) (soft meme)

r a h m a

what they smell like

i feel like when she has the executive function... she uses lavender perfume. just a little bit! just for the aura. for the vibes

what their favorite smells in the world are

^ lavender! also roses and new books!

what pajamas they wear

rahma has a dachsund... so... hear me out here...

(generally she wears, like, full pajama sets?? rather than just a t shirt or smthn... she likes to be cozy)

my favorite ship (if applicable) and a cute hc about them

okay... we KNOW i have to say rahma and avery. like. we KNOW. they’re romeo and juliet... they’re romeo and juliet. rahma is SUCH a romantic so you KNOW she tries to make all of their dates incredibly fancy (she brings avery roses EVERY chance she gets... in honor of avery’s middle name... avery has so many fuckign roses what is she gonna do with them all). that said. i think when they want to hang out but don’t have the energy/time to plan a Full Fancy Date they go to the library or the bookstore and settle down on the floor and look at books together and whenever they find a book they think the other would like they push it over to them

my favorite friendship (if applicable) and a cute hc about them

i talked about rahma and reuben in reuben’s post, so: rahma and bitty!!! they’ve been friends since sixth grade and there are DEFINITELY extant photos of the two of them in the “photobooth” at forensics meets, taking stupid pictures... a lime green feather boa around bitty’s neck... three or four pairs of sunglasses on rahma at once over her actual glasses... truly they are the height of fashion.

a song that reminds me of them

someone new by hozier! obviously the chorus (”i fall in love a little bit every day with someone new...”) but also!

Only blue or black days Electing strange perfections in any stranger I choose

There's an art to life's distraction To somehow escape the burning wait, the art of scraping through

ah, rahma “if i throw myself into chasing after True Love then i won’t be sad and bored all the time” ashiq...

what animal i think they would be if they were an animal

rahma... is a penguin... one of the ones that collects shiny rocks for their loved ones... one of the penguins that mate for life... she is simply tottering around with a lot of love in her feathery little heart

what position they sleep in

i think rahma sleeps in the fetal position. curled up into a little ball. probably hugging her blankets to her chest. don’t ask me why these are simply the Vibes

their favorite drink

rahma started drinking iced coffee in like. middle school. and now she’s A Little Too Caffeinated half the time. (blame the fact that american high school starts absurdly early in the morning and her circadian rhythm does not work that way!!! what else was she supposed to do!)

a gift i would give them if i could

well, obviously, i could go to the bookstore with her, but since she and avery do that, i wouldn’t want to infringe... as far as physical gifts go, some pretty hijab pins and some chocolate! but i would also definitely let her infodump to me about her writing and then give her my line-by-line commentary on her work... it’s fellow writer solidarity.

b i t t y

what they smell like

you hate to see it but... monster energy.

what their favorite smells in the world are

the smell of fresh rosin! (he’s a very talented violinist; it’s his main interest beyond Heelys and roller-skating around town causing chaos.) also tandoori powder, because it reminds him of home + dinner with his family!

what pajamas they wear

okay like. Daytime Bitty makes an effort to look masculine, even if he is also... flamboyantly chaotic about it... but he hasn’t gotten taller in years and most of his pre-transition clothes still fit... what i’m saying is i think all of his pajama shirts are, like, pink with kittens and clouds on them. sometimes he steals indrajit’s pajamas but not unless they’re, like, ugly. most of indrajit’s clothes aren’t nearly camp enough.

indrajit: “i just think -- w. is that. is that mine”

bitty, wearing one of indrajit’s ancient middle-school-summer-camp-relic tie-dye t-shirts over these pajama pants: “no :)”

my favorite ship (if applicable) and a cute hc about them

...due to spoilers i will be neatly sidestepping this question to state that the first time indrajit and amanda went on an official date (which was, like, to starbucks. neither of them could drive. they were freshmen) bitty hyped indrajit up for like fifteen minutes beforehand. and then IMMEDIATELY the next time he saw amanda at school he shouted “SO WHEN’S THE WEDDING” across the hallway at the top of his lungs, just in case anyone got the wrong idea about him being “nice” to his brother or something.

my favorite friendship (if applicable) and a cute hc about them

BITTY AND REUBEN... they have FREQUENT sleepovers in reuben’s mom’s basement (rahma’s parents don’t want her sleeping over with boys, so it’s just the two of them) and pretty much all they do is eat popcorn and watch increasingly terrible movies. they start with the room. reuben takes them up a level to howard the duck. bitty raises him sharknado in response. they watched the snow miser + heat miser movie despite the fact that NEITHER of them are christian. bitty plays kesha incredibly loudly until reuben’s mom goes to bed and then he’s politely quiet because everybody stans reuben’s mom

a song that reminds me of them

STREAM THE BITCH IS BACK BY ELTON JOHN

what animal i think they would be if they were an animal

i stated in the reuben post that bitty’s fursona would be a rooster... and i was right. alternatively: a ferret (permanent >:3c energy, mischievous, wiggly) or an octopus (very clever, constantly changing colors to blend in with its surroundings, opens jars that shouldn’t be opened, etc)

what position they sleep in

oh certainly flopped on his back with his limbs all over the place. for a very small person he can take up a LOT of space and enjoys doing so to cause the maximum amount of inconvenience possible <3

their favorite drink

....again. we hate to see it. monster energy

a gift i would give them if i could

rainbow laces for his roller skates! sour skittles! hand lotion from one obsessive-compulsive to another! and the goddamn hug i owe most of these characters!

The holidays season is nearing, and everything in town dressed up with baubles and fairy lights. You may want some glitters for you, don’t you? Jolie Beauty has listened to your seasonal wishes with its Bomb Dot Com 24 shade glitter palette…

You can recreate that jolly atmosphere with your makeup looks and the help of this explosive glitter palette by Jolie Beauty.

Jolie Beauty Bomb Dot Com 24 shade glitter palette: product & package

It’s a real glitter bomb! Jolie Beauty Bomb Dot Com is a makeup palette with 24 pressed glitters safe to use on both eyes and face. This palette is featherlight and comes with a matching protective sleeve. Its package runs over you with a light beam: the whole palette is rose gold and a finelly glittery to the touch, inside and out. It has a magnetic closure and a large mirror inside.

Texture and formula As all Jolie Beauty products, the Bomb Dot Com palette is cruelty-free and vegan. These cosmetic-graded glitters are pressed into singular pans in a clear base. In some shades, this base feels pleasantly cooling and with a jelly texture. The clear base eases the application and minimises the use of glue, other adhesives or creamy products, even though I highly suggest them (see how to use). Of the 24 shades, 23 are made of micro shimmery particles, that an optical illusion makes them look varying in dimensions (see chart). Sugar is the only shade in this palette with a crystal-like texture due to its chunkier glitters.

How to use: It may sound straightforward, but these glitters need some instruction: apply the glitters with a synthetic flat brush, preferably with a stiff texture, and tap them over your lids or skin until you get the desired intensity and coverage. The colours can be overlayed; put on the top of a coloured cream base or dabbed with eyeshadows and pigments to intensify the colours and effect. When it comes to glitters or very dark eyeshadows, it’s always better to start from the prep and eyes first. Once the eyes are ready and sparkly in glory, remove any fallouts with a face wipe and continue with your base.

Glitter removal: carefree as a sip of bubbles. Cheers!

… and how to remove: These glitters can be removes swiftly with any makeup remover wipes. If any glitter falls later on, when the face is ready, some washi tape comes in handy. I recommend this Japanese decorative tape because it’s sticky but gentle. I also suggest attaching the washi tape to the back of your hand to dampen its stickiness as a good practice.

COLOUR CHART

24 shades… too much for a single Valens-style post! Here’s an easy chart to define every and each shade.

Jolie Beauty BOMB DOT COM 24 shade glitter palette

Name it! Shade Extra

« 1 2 3 4 »

#1a Lagoon Cyan (sub primary) w/ silver watershine shimmer Microglitters + clear base (easy to build up) #1b Steel Light sky blue w/ silver shimmer Microglitters + clear base (slightly uneven texture) #1c Cocoa Rich brown w/ copper shimmer Microglitters (different sizes) + clear base (easy to build up) #1d Princess Light hot pink (bubblegum pink) + iridescent shimmer (green, celeste, orange) Microglitters + clear base (good application) #1e Ballet Carnation pink w/ silver shimmer Microglitters (different sizes) + clear base (need more layers) #1f Sugar Clear to white w/ shifting silver shimmer Chunky glitters + clear base (drier base, uneven application) #2a Ignite Carmine w/ full red/orange shimmer Microglitters (different sizes) + clear base #2b Mermaid Aquamarine w/ shifting shimmer (mint green/aqua green) Microglitters (different sizes?) + clear jelly base (need more layers) #2c Firefly Light lavender w/ iridescent watershine shimmer (green, yellow, pink) Microglitters (different sizes) + clear jelly base (needs more layers, great light point) #2d Infinity Light celeste (on the pan)/light lavender (on skin) w/ holo shimmer (yellow, green, orange) Texture and base like Firefly but packed like Disco and Golden Ticket #2e Showgirl Magenta dye w/ full fuchsia shimmer Microglitters + clear base #2f Crowned White gold w/ metallic shimmer Microglitters (different sizes) + clear base (great light point) #3a Swell Electric medium blue w/ full blue shimmer Microglitters + clear base (very packed) #3b Amazon ‘GO’ green w/ iridescent shifting shimmer (yellowing/mint green) Microglitters + clear jelly base (very packed) #3c Regal Deep purple w/ shifting purple/red shimmer Microglitters + clear jelly base (very packed) #3d Cherrybomb Red/magenta with ton sur ton shimmer Microglitters + clear base #3e Superstar Bright Barbie pink w/ strong blue component + full pink shimmer Microglitters + clear base #3f Golden Ticket True gold w/ full yellow gold shimmer Microglitters + clear base (very packed = foil effect) #4a Seabed Deep lapiz-lazuli w/full blue shimmer (on skin)/purple w/ red microshimmer (on the pan) Microglitters + clear base #4b Zest Lime green w/ full metallic shimmer Microglitters (different sizes) + clear jelly base (like Mermaid and Amazon) #4c Disco Silver w/ holo schimmer (blue, mint green, orange) Microglitters + clear jelly base (very packed = foil effect) #4d Rosy Vintage rose w/ silver hue (salmon on the pan) + full rose shimmer Microglitters + clear base #4e Blossom Cherry blossom pink w/silver hue + w/ full pink shimmer Microglitters + clear jelly base #4f Just Jolie Honey gold w/ warm component + full golden shimmer Microglitters + clear base (apply almost like Golden Ticket)

In short, this palette has many bright colours mainly in the blue and red spectrum but lacks dark shades, except for Cocoa, a very intense brown. These glitters have a crazy metallic finish and, interestingly, a portion of this palette has a ‘watershine’ effect, an iridescent and holo shine. Some shades, like Disco, Golden Tickets and to some extent Just Jolie, can be dabbed until creating a metallic foil effect like a pigment. This ‘trompe l’oeil’ (a French, hence chic, way to say ‘optic illusion’) is due to the glitters being heavily packed in their clear base. Most of the glitters, instead, look sparse and need more layers.

PROS:

it’s vegan and cruelty-free;

(23 out of 24) the glitters have a fine in texture;

(23 out of 24) the glitters are very gentle to the skin;

very shiny;

easy to remove;

relatively easy to work with;

have a buildable coverage;

have different finishes;

the package is sturdy yet light;

includes a large mirror.

CONS:

a sticky base is always needed;

one shade is grittier and harder to use;

(lack of dark shades).

SWATCHES

#1 & #2 ROW

#3 & #4 ROW

If I could describe this palette with an image, I could say it’s a loud and instant party! The ace in the hole: when you need something spectacular and shocking, this palette has it. The Bomb Dot Com palette comprises 24 shades for a total of 19.2 grams at a regular price of £27.99 online at JolieBeauty.com (now at £20.99 for the extended Cyber Monday and payable with Klarna small payments).

I played around with this palette because it’s made for that! I created two sparkly looks for the holidays I want to share with you. Nice or naughty, how are you going to be these holidays?

When I think of glitters, Christmas tinsels come to my mind. For how much it may sound typical, I still like and wear glittery eyeliners. I made this daytime ‘nice look’ with an organic white kajal (L’Avril Blanc Lunaire) as a base where to stick three glitter shades from this bombastic palette: Rosy, Regal and Amazon. At the bottom of the lower lash line and right at its centre, I dotted Firefly with a pinch of Just Jolie to add an unexpected drop of light in this simple look.

A paired this with fuller and bright lips: Lord&Berry Ultimate Lip Liner in Vintage Rose with a touch of MCo. Beauty Peachy Gloss.

‘Nice’ daytime holiday look Face: Ciaté Watermelon Burst Hydrating Primer + Joah Beauty Pore De-Activator Pore Minimizing & Mattifying Primer + Esteé Lauder Doublewear Stay-in-Place Foundation 1W2 Sand + Jolie Beauty Second Powder Bronzer in Latte + Blusher in Rendezvous + Highlighter in Dreaming Eyes: WinkyLux Peeper Perfect Concealer in Medium + Boutique by Sainsbury’s Flawless Hydrating Illuminating primer + Joah Beauty Lash Up rising in Blackest Black + MannaKadarBeauty Goddess makeup palette (eyebrow and eye base) + Marc Jacobs Beauty Highliner Matte Gel Eye Crayon in Iron(y) (tighline) + Mist me? (waterline) Lips: Lord&Berry Ultimate Liner in Vintage Rose + MCo Beauty Peachy Gloss (centre)

If this is for the day, what would be my night holiday? Get naught(ier) with this glittery crease. The neutral eye base created with MannaKadar Beauty Goddess makeup palette has been spiced up with a reddish glitter liner (Cherrybomb) to which a sharp crease connects (Cocoa).

To keep these shades in place, I used the same white kajal as a guideline and base for winged eye and an e.l.f. brow pomade from an eyebrow kit to fill in the crease. I created a light point in the inner corner with Disco, and layered the glitters several times and topped with coordinated eyeshadow palettes (from MannaKadar Beauty Goddess palette and Forgive Me Suzie x Birchbox red/gold/copper eyeshadow palette). With such dramatic eyes, I dressed my lips with a caramel gloss by Neve Cosmetics (Venissage in Dama con l’ermellino).

‘Naughty’ holiday look Joah Beauty Pore De-Activator Pore Minimizing & Mattifying Primer + Esteé Lauder Doublewear Stay-in-Place Foundation 1W2 Sand + Jolie Beauty Second Powder Bronzer in Latte + Blusher in Flushed + (new) Highlighter in Saintly Eyes: WinkyLux Peeper Perfect Concealer in Medium + Boutique by Sainsbury’s Flawless Hydrating Illuminating primer + Joah Beauty Lash Up rising in Blackest Black + MannaKadarBeauty Goddess makeup palette (eyebrow and eye base) + Forgive Me Suzie (Birchbox) eyeshadow palette in Eye Swear + Marc Jacobs Beauty Highliner Matte Gel Eye Crayon in Iron(y) (tighline) Lips: Neve Cosmetics Vernissage lip gloss in Dama con l’ermellino

#gallery-0-5 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-5 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-0-5 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-5 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

Nice or naughty is such a subtle difference, a thin line of glitters…

It’s all about eyes but my face has something interesting: for the day makeup, I used Jolie Beauty Second Skin Powder Bronzer and Blusher Latte+Rendezvous. The night look includes the combo Latte+Flushed. There’s more! This review wants to be a preview of the new launches from the Second Skin Collection: the highlighter Dreaming for the day look and Saintly for the night. Trust me, these newest highlighters are as light as the Second Skin compacts (complete review) but with an ethereal glow.

‘Ethereal glow’: Jolie Beauty Second Skin Powder Highlighter in ‘Saintly‘

These glitters lasted for more than 8 hours before I could see the first fallouts, but the glitters placed closer to the crease tended to move earlier. Although a glitter glue isn’t a strict necessity, it would be very welcome, especially in case of long and lively events as New Year’s Eve. Nevertheless, with minimal expense and effort, I made both looks last longer than expected.

A last look inside…

Of course, an extended glitter palette like the Bomb Dot Com isn’t for everyone and doesn’t fall into the essential makeup list, but it’s ideal for artists and playful people. I had fun and magic all over my carpet these weeks, and I will play more often with it. Even if it isn’t an essential item, this palette offers great quality and an incredible gentle touch to the skin. I simply wished for more dark hues… Holidays season is coming, and this Jolie Beauty palette is like fairy light for your eyes only!

Seventy Second Encounter-- The White Room

this is technically “filler” if you wanted to skip it, but where’s the fun in that?

When the IT finally comes to a stop, only Demo and Firefly join the trio in the console room. Firefly: I'm guessing if you can't read the card, you can't get in, right? Demo: Ugh, that annoys me so much. I couldn't totally read it, so I'd probably get stuck in a door or something... Collin: Or maybe you'd see the door, but you'd just walk into it like it was a wall. Nydins: Regardless, I think only the four of us will be able to go in. Collin: I'm betting Fawkes is not happy about that, huh? Demo: I don't think any of us are happy about this. Firefly: Well, I can stay behind at least. That way if something bad happens, at least one of us can still come to help? Collin: Not a bad idea, given that we're going into unknown territory here. What do you guys think? alienrabitt: Sounds good to me. Just as long as we can get your attention somehow. Demo: Take the goggles; it's...somehow the only form of long distance communication anyone has with the IT. Collin: We really need to work on that, sheesh. Nydins: Maybe XL could do something? Though maybe she only has medical experience...I don't know; we'll figure something out at some other time; right now, we have something that works for the situation. We're going in a small group, after all. Collin: Yeah, that's true. You guys ready? Heading out of the IT; Tori; Nydins; and Collin find themselves in the lobby of a solid white building. Heading up to the desk, Tori hands the card to a secretary that doesn't even bother to look up from her book as she wheels her chair around; grabs a keycard from a drawer; and slides it across the desk to Tori, gesturing to a hallway on the right side of the room that had not been there before getting the keycard. Collin: Wh- When did...? alienrabitt: This is gonna be...interesting. Going into the hall, it makes an L-shape to the left, showing a long stretch of rooms that only have visible doors. One, however, has a long, glass window to the right of the door. This room is about halfway down the long hall. Collin starts walking down the hall toward the window. "So, where are we supposed to be going exactly? That receptionist wasn't exactly informative." alienrabitt: Uhh, the key says...34-B?

for those that don’t have an encyclopedic knowledge of RP trivia, this was the designation Thallion’s crew gave Collin on their ship

Collin: Oh, well that'd work. Let's see... Collin starts looking for door labels as he continues onward. The trio finds room 34-B; the only room with a currently visible window. As Tori puts in the keycard, there is a low buzz from somewhere before a rather tired, feminine voice calls out "one at a time; please." Collin: I'm... sorry? What do you mean? Nydins: I think she wants two of us to stay out here... Collin: Oh, I guess they want Tori then. He did get the card, after all. Nervously, Tori enters the room alone, and the door clicks behind him. From below the window, he can be heard talking to someone else. "Who are you?" A deeper voice answers; smooth and confident sounding: "We haven't met before; but I already know who you are. Guess I've been the only one asking questions." Collin: What is that supposed to mean? Nydins: I have no idea...but uh...does this guy look like he has a face to you? I'm looking, but it's like it's...smudgy? Or something... Collin: Uh, here, let me take a look. Collin moves closer to the window and looks inside. Collin can see that this person is wearing a black coat with a few smaller, lime green buttons on it. The collar has been buttoned closed as well, however the face of the person is entirely obscured by some sort of blurry, black cloud. Collin: Weird, I can't see their face either. I wonder what's- hm? Oh, sure, give it a try.

Collin's right eye turns purple after a moment, and he peers back through the window. He can now see that Tori isn't even in the room with another person at all, but rather what is actually some sort of tall, black box with an indention near the top for a screen. Above the screen, the box returns to its shape to allow room for a label with the title "Polybius." On the screen itself are two acid green eyes that stare back immediately. Collin's eye turns back to normal and he stumbles back from the window. "What the hell?"

surprise; I didn’t actually write this one! everyone actually played their own characters :3c

Nydins: Wh-what?? What's wrong? Collin: That's not a person, that's... I don't know what it is, a tall box with a screen on it? It had "Polybius" written on the top of it. Nydins: ...What?? That can't be right; there's no way we let that thing out...

The conversation between the pair in the room continues as well.

alienrabitt: "How do you know me?" Polybius: "Did you think the doors you opened only opened one way? Maybe you only tried calling out for one of us; but perhaps you of all people should know that there has never been only one of us." alienrabitt: "What are you going on about...?" Polybius: "The other you; the one that asked all of those concerning questions; did you think they were alone? Did you assume they were a singular being? You should know that's incorrect." Collin: What do you mean "that thing"? Do you know what this is? Nydins: Polybius was dismissed as an urban legend by most of humanity; but there were rumors going around that it had been intentionally created by the government. All rumors have at least a little bit of truth to them...it was made for...unsavory purposes, but it was discovered and locked up pretty quickly after all the reports of seizures; suicides; and memory issues started rolling in from one town, with a single arcade being the only connection between all the victims... Collin: And Tori's inside there alone with that thing?! Nydins: It...invited him. But yes...but how does it know him? And more importantly, how did it get here alone?

alienrabitt: "So...did they tell you about us?" Polybius: "Oh, they never had to say a word. Nobody did. As soon as I heard there was a way out, I took my chance immediately. Needless to say, I feel like I made a very good decision." alienrabitt: "I don't understand...what did you do? Why did you come here?" Polybius: "I came here because I wanted a way out, and you gave it to me. I suppose I came here specifically to thank you in person. If it weren't for you, I'd still be trapped in that awful, dark tower with all of those bumbling idiots; but thanks to you, none of them can be my problem ever again." Collin: I feel like this conversation is going over my head... Did you guys help this thing before we met or something? Nydins: We never helped it; it was locked away in Area 51 so it couldn't hurt anybody anymore; I just assumed it shut down or broke down due to old age, but now it's...here? Collin: It's talking like Tori directly helped it though... Nydins: ...It mentioned another Tori; maybe it's talking about the one that followed you back from the Alfheim? Collin: Hmm... Maybe so? Or maybe a Tori that's different from that one, even? Sheesh, as if there weren't enough variations of him in our own timeline... "You aren't answering me; what did you /do/?! You were trapped somewhere; but why? Why were you trapped, maybe even bound to...another me, I guess?" Polybius: "The whys are irrelevant; I needed to leave for a multitude of reasons. Or are you concerned that I may have done something terrible to get where I am now?" alienrabitt: "That's exactly what I'm asking." Polybius: "I only ever did what I had to do. When people got in my way; when people threatened me, or those around me that had done no wrong, I could never bring myself to overlook their actions. Every time I've been locked away, I've always managed to find or make my own way out. That was simply another one of those situations. They would not allow me out on their own; with them around to the degree they were, I had absolutely no chance of escaping; however, after your ever so curious escapades, your counterpart was too horribly exhausted to resist me. The rest was simply natural; like toppling dominos." alienrabitt: "...You...did you...?" Polybius: "Oh, no, they're very much alive. Well, as alive as anyone in such a state could possibly be considered, I suppose." Tori immediately gets out of their chair and backs away.

this was actually based off a dream(?) we had at some point

Collin immediately starts trying to mess with the door mechanism to get it to open. "We've got to get him out of there now." The lock stays fast, and the handle refuses to budge. The audio from the inside of the room cuts out as the window fades away to match the walls, and Nydins immediately pulls out her hammer. Nydins: NO MORE HANDLES; MOVE!! Collin quickly jumps to the side to clear the way. Nydins swings hard, denting the door on the first swing and shattering the lock and handle into chunks upon impact, removing her hammer in a shower of sparks and shrapnel. Absolutely furious, Nydins kicks the door in as she enters the room. "POLYBIUS!!"

The cabinet shifts its gaze to Nydins, incapable of moving on its own. "Miss Darbos; it has been far too long."

Across from the arcade cabinet and the table and chairs, Tori is lying on the floor, hunched over their amulet as they breathe heavily. Collin runs toward him and practically slides down to his level, placing one hand on his shoulder while reaching for the amulet with the other to check its state. "You're okay, I'm here. Let me help you, please..." alienrabitt: N-no; no, no, no, this...please, don't... Nydins: What the hell did you do to him?! Polybius: He was clearly bothered by the state the others were in; I simply made things a bit easier. Nothing to be concerned about; he's absolutely still alright. I wouldn't kill anyone that has been so kind to me; you of all people should know... Still trying to get a look at the amulet, Collin shoots a glance at the arcade cabinet. "You call this alright? What. Did you do?"

Polybius: Oh Collin; why are you always so concerned about matters that don't involve you whatsoever? You cannot help him; this isn't even a problem as much at is returning something that was once lost. I suppose the concept of 'pay it forward' might be a bit lost on your group, though. alienrabitt: ...Do you ever...shut the hell up? God; all this time...and you're still just as annoying.... Collin: Tori, what did he do? I can't help if I don't know what to fix! Slowly, Tori pushes himself in a seated position, though the markings on his face and the colors of his eyes make him instantly recognizable as the opposite Tori. "I'm...fine. I just don't think I should be here."

Polybius: But it's all you ever wanted, isn't it? To come home? 2ri: It's not home if it belongs to somebody else!! I can't just take somebody's life over!! Polybius: Oh, who said you were replacing him? Certainly I wouldn't leave you to your lonesome; and you've never been the bad guy, have you? Collin: Wh-What the hell is that supposed to mean? 2ri: ...Did you move all of us?! Polybius: Oh, no, no; that would be too much effort. Only the few that were really in anyone's way; you understand, don't you? The role you fill, it's over. Your job is done; you are unwanted. This is strictly catch and release; you're just going to have to figure out what to do from here on your own. 2ri: W-wait, you can't leave us here; there won't be anybody left who-- you know who we are, you can't just-- Polybius' screen cuts off, and the machine itself simply fades away. 2ri: P-Polybius!! POLYBIUS!!

Nydins: He ran away? But to where...? 2ri: Ugh...he just went back home; there's nothing I can do about that and he knew it... Collin: But... what about Tori? How do I...? 2ri: Uh...he's still here, he's just...not out? Look, this is...um. Well, I don't wanna make it sound like a problem, it's not. There's just the three of us here anyway; so in comparison, it's actually not that bad, I guess? Collin: I... don't understand. What do you mean "the three of us"? 2ri: Man, uh....oh, duh; we're a Hermes now; lemme just...

He creates two mockup dolls with small, glass balls in their hands containing light similar to that of Tori's light-based form and places both of them on either side of himself. Instantly, both of them shift to reveal Tori and...some sort of bipedal, blue and white cat with elongated ears and two tails. alienrabitt: What the hell just happened?! 2ri: Polybius kicked us out of our house and now we're stuck with you. ???: Oh, that's not so bad! I mean, it's bad, but compared to all the other stuff we were going through, this is gonna be like, a birthday party! Well, I guess my birthday was coming up... 2ri: Yeah, happy fucking birthday, Felix; all your family and friends are stuck with a killer arcade cabinet that's gonna take over our life and probably hurt everyone you ever cared about. alienrabitt: Hey, please don't fight...it's not his fault, right? 2ri: Oh no, all of this is his fault; just look at his stupid, smug little cat face; he's gonna jump out of his shitty fur with all that excitement; he couldn't ask for a better opportunity. Collin: What the hell is going on here... Felix: Oh my god, we're here though!! Man, I can't wait for Demo to punch me in my stupid face in person. 2ri: Great, we can take turns! Wanna answer his question? Felix: Why do I have to do it; he's your boyfriend! alienrabitt: Uh, no, wrong me. Felix: Does it really matter which one of you it really is now? You're both the same person, it's just that his tone is a little more serious and he talks a little lower. 2ri: Can you please just focus for 5 seconds?! Felix: I guess!! Um, okay; so, wow, this is really embarrassing, uh-- 2ri: This is it, this is who I was bodyguarding. I fucked up, obviously; got caught; we were experimented on; now we're here. Collin: O-okay... Experimented on how? 2ri: He caught the both of us and did something fucky with us so he could get out; I don't really remember 'cause I wasn't really conscious for it.

“something fucky;” do you always have such a way with words?

Felix: Yeah, I lost about a week or two; fronted to cry for like, maybe two days, and now I'm here. I have no idea what's going on; is /this/ that weird white room I saw you in a while back? 2ri: YOU KNEW HE HAD ME AND YOU DIDN'T SEND ANYBODY TO HELP?! Felix: I thought it was just a dream!! How was I supposed to know you were trying to call for help?! alienrabitt: Wait, he did all that stuff here?? Felix: Yes and no, this room's basically some kind of 'bridge.' 2ri: You just...let this happen, I still can't get over that... Collin: Let's... not focus on that for now. What're we supposed to do now? We need to get you two back to where you came from, right? Felix: I mean, yeah, but you can't really go to a concept. I'm guessing it's gonna take some weird magic stuff or something to get back home. I just hope that creep stays away from the kids... 2ri: He's a fucking video game cabinet; the kids are gonna go first!! Felix: Well, actually we went first! This other Tori rapidly starts looking like they're inches away from just snapping this cat's neck. Collin puts his hands to his temples. "Ugh, I'm gonna get a headache..." Nydins: This all seems very urgent, but if you came from a concept, you...probably won't be going home any time soon. Felix: Well, concept is the wrong word; we came from uh...a problem, I guess? A lot of problems; really big ones; all happening back to back. All these really big problems really screwed up one person, so we all showed up to try and help! But obviously not all of us wound up being helpful... 2ri: Yeah, look at this asshole; he got me kicked out. Nydins: So...you were part of a person? Felix: Yeah! But now we're part of a different person that has the same name as the person we used to be a part of. alienrabitt: Hey, I never asked for you two to be here. 2ri: I'm really sorry about all this... Collin: You said this place was like a bridge, right? Maybe there's some other way to get you back where Polybius went to? 2ri: It's a bridge, yeah, but it's only a bridge when both sides are here. Right now it's half a bridge; if we can't get someone else from where we're from here, we can't use this place to go home. Collin: Shit... Then what do we do now? Felix: Uhh, I guess you're stuck with us? Until you can find out how to get someone else here. Collin: Get someone from a place that we have no way to get to or contact to this weird white interdimensional space. Sounds easy enough... 2ri: Look, there's bound to be a way to get them here...somehow. I don't know how, but maybe we can figure it out? I mean really, knowing them, we'll be out of here in no time once they realize both of us are missing... Collin: Maybe there's something in one of the other rooms here that could help? Although I'm not really sure what the others could hold if this one contained...that.

oh no, the rooms don’t always just have...random stuff; it’s uh. it’s a meeting place of sorts; kinda like an exclusive club-y thing?

well, this version is. the real location is just wherever Polybius “lives”

Felix: Uh, actually, I think I know who could get us home, but...we'd have to get her attention first, and I can't do that.

2ri: What? She can't-- oh, oh no; absolutely not!! Felix: I mean, you wanna go home, right~? 2ri: I am not doing that!! Collin: Doing what? 2ri: Uhh, we just need to...god, this is embarrassing! I'm not gonna do that...I can't. alienrabitt: Look, whatever it is, it can't be that bad, right? Felix: I don't know, how many Collins are around here? 2ri: DON'T TELL THEM ABOUT IT!!! I'M NOT GONNA DO IT, SO DON'T TELL THEM WHAT I HAVE TO DO FOR HER!! Collin: I can't help but feel a little concerned about whatever you two are talking about... Felix: Hey, don't worry about it; these balls you made are gonna burn out pretty soon anyway, so I guess you're gonna be alone for a little while after all. Might as well find a room with a door that can still close; she might be shameless, but she has standards, you know. alienrabitt: Wh-what?! What the hell are you talking about doing?! Felix: Who said it was one of us; all three of us are guys! With that, the balls the dolls were holding burn out, and Nydins and Collin are left alone with 2ri again. Collin: So... what was that cat expecting me to do, exactly? 2ri: Uh...well; we need to get home; and of all the people left at home, I think only one of them could really have the power to get here by herself; but uh...man... Nydins: How bad could it be? 2ri: You uh...could you go back to the lobby and uh...wait? Nydins: ...For what? 2ri: Please don't make me say this out loud... Collin: Would you mind humoring him? I'm not sure what's going on, but I think this situation is complicated enough already. Still confused, Nydins does as she's asked and leaves for the lobby while 2ri tries to get into a room with a functional door. Collin: So, you gonna tell me what's going on here? 2ri: We have to get the attention of uh...a friend, I guess; but she has...very specific tastes... Collin: What's that supposed to mean? As 2ri finds a door that opens, both of them find the room to already be occupied by a woman on the other side, who's currently propping her feet up on the table and leaning back against the wall, though she quickly stands up upon seeing company. Two massive, elaborate metal wings float behind her, and a pointed halo floats between two curved, red-orange horns that stretch out of long, orange hair pulled up into an equally long ponytail. Blue skin is visible beneath a brown school uniform as her golden eyes look the pair over. "Well, well! Took you long enough! Jeez, you really keep a lady waiting, huh?"

as if I was gonna write that kind of thing

Collin: Uh... Hi? Who're you? ???: Well, I'm Hera; and you look like Collin, but you also somehow look...worse. What in the world happened to you? Collin: That's a pretty long list... an explosion and evil magic, for the two most obvious things I guess. Hera: Well, I guess bad luck is universal! Ürarara; you really make a mess everywhere you go, huh Felix? 2ri: Hey, don't call me out...! Ugh, don't do that... Hera: Well, you both messed up here too right? It hasn't even been an hour, and somehow you've already managed to hurt somebody totally unrelated; it's like your a magnet for fuck ups! Hmmm, but there's cute girls here, right? Maybe you had the right idea coming here; did you do it on purpose~? Trying to set me up like this; I'm flattered, but I think we're a little committed, don't you~? 2ri: God, can you maybe not try to make this about you?? Hera: Why shouldn't I have some fun before I leave? You're the type of guy who doesn't even bring a swimsuit to the beach, huh? Collin: Look, I'm not really sure what you're trying to... accomplish here, but I'm just trying to get everyone back to where they need to be. This Tori was saying you could help with that; is it true? Hera: I guess so, yeah; it'd be like taking a chain of paper dolls out of a hat or something; and since it hasn't been all that long, it should be easy! Collin: I'm... not sure what that means, but okay, good! So what do you need? Taking Tori by the hands, Hera squeezes them tightly and leans in to whisper something rather angrily through a forced smile before she turns her gaze to Collin, giving a genuine smile. “I can just take them home! Don't worry about it!"

Wrapping her spiky tail around Tori's waist, Hera's wings slowly join together behind herself, and within a brilliant flash of light, she vanishes...

...But the markings and eye color remain. 2ri: HERA YOU USELESS LESBIAN!!

she got so distracted by girls she grabbed the wrong guy

also Hera isn’t really a lesbian? but I guess 2ri doesn’t know that

Collin: ... What just happened? 2ri: She couldn't tell me and the other Tori apart and took the wrong one!! Ughhhh...!! Collin: What?! What the hell do we do now? Putting their face in their hands, 2ri loudly groans. "Nobody else could get us home!!"

Collin: So... he's gone, then...

Putting his arms down, 2ri immediately starts to give a nervous response: "W-well maybe not!! She's an idiot, but there's no way she wouldn't notice the difference once he pointed it out, right?? I mean, he would say something for sure, wouldn't he? E-especially since...uh...there's nobody like you there?"

Collin: Can they even get back, though? I don't get how this place works at all! 2ri: It's a bridge! So as long as someone's in one of these rooms, someone can find them! So as long as someone they know is here, they can come back! Collin: So we have to find someone else, then... 2ri: Er, well, no, they have to find us. We can't just look around all these doors; nobody else has been in a place like this before... Collin: And how do we make them do that, exactly? Just start yelling until someone shows up? 2ri: No, it's not like that; as long as somebody knows we're here, they can find us. Collin: So we just have to wait until someone figures out that they have the wrong Tori and come here? 2ri: Pretty much! I can't get their attention without doing something seriously drastic... Collin: Drastic? 2ri: Ugh, Hera is...very interested in uh...well...I guess just that brief conversation made it obvious... Collin: I... sorta got that? She sounded like she was more interested in the girls though. She just sorta said I looked messed up and then took off with my boyfriend. 2ri: Ugh, yeah; I guess she was just surprised that you looked so different? Everything about you is totally different from the you they know... Collin: I guess I shouldn't be surprised by that. Not everyone has a prosthetic leg and runic markings spreading across their body, after all. Still, didn't exactly do much for my image, sheesh... 2ri: I don't think she meant it like that; you just kinda look beat up, y'know? Collin: I didn't think it was that bad... 2ri: I mean, the jumpsuit probably doesn't help much, even if it's kinda different. Collin: What's wrong with- ugh, nevermind, this hole's only going to get deeper if I keep digging. With a similar flash of light, Hera returns to the room alone. "Oh gods; I totally got you two mixed up!! Sorry; you two look exactly the same!"

2ri: No we don't; I have these weird...scars, I guess? And they're missing an arm!! Hera: I was looking at your outfits, idiot! You're dressed exactly the same! Your shirt doesn't have that ugly squiggle on it here. 2ri: ...Wait, it doesn't now? Why the hell...? Hera: Who cares! Anyway, this time I'm taking the right one home!

Grabbing his hands, Hera vanishes a second time and Tori goes back to looking normal. Collin: Oh thank God, you're actually back.

alienrabitt: ...Yeah, I am. Collin: You okay? That was... a lot to take in. alienrabitt: ...I mean, I have a little bit of a headache; but I think I'll be okay. It's still a lot to take in for me, honestly... Collin: Hera did take the cat too, right...? alienrabitt: ...Yeah, it's just me. Collin approaches him and pulls him into a tight hug. "Good, I'm glad you're okay." Tori hesitates for a moment before hugging Collin as tightly as possible, tearing up, but not yet crying. Collin: ... Are you really okay, Tori? alienrabitt: I just...I didn't know if I was gonna come back...and when I was stuck with those two, I saw all this stuff that happened to them; and... Collin: It's okay, they'll be alright. I mean, we're doing okay and we've been through some stuff too, right? His Collin...his Collin was...oh god, Daedalus was still...it was so bad...everybody got hurt so bad... Collin gently rubs the back of his head and rests his cheek on the top of it, unsure of what to say. alienrabitt: ...W-we should go...Nydins is still waiting... Collin: Oh shoot, right... We'll talk about it later, okay? alienrabitt: ...Right. Collin kisses the top of Tori's head before taking his hand and leaving the room with him. Nydins gets out of a chair she had pulled behind the desk to read the book the secretary was reading over her shoulder.

"There you two are! I was starting to get worried! One chapter later and I probably would've gone looking!" Collin: Yeah, sorry about that. We found someone else to help us, but they sorta messed it up a bit the first time. Tori's okay now though. Nydins: Well, I'm glad! We should probably leave, though; I'm sure this place hasn't been sitting well with you. Collin: Yeah, Tori's a little burnt out from the whole experience, I think... Nydins: I was talking about you; not him. Collin: Oh, I... I'm fine, really. Nydins: Even with all these white walls? We've been here a while... Collin: It doesn't quite feel the same, even if it does put me a little on edge. Keep me in here for a month and we might start having problems, but I'll live for now. Nydins: That's fair. I was just a little worried about that.

She starts heading back for the IT. Collin moves to put an arm around Tori's shoulder and follows after her. Returning to the console room, Demo is still waiting for everybody. Demo: So, how was it? Collin: I wouldn't recommend it, frankly. alienrabitt: It was...definitely otherworldly; I'll leave it at that. Demo: Not a fun time, huh? Hopefully the next place we wind up at is a little less...whatever happened.

so as weird as this was; it’s still canon, it’s just probably more filler-y than anything; I doubt we’ll ever have anybody blatantly show up as themselves again besides maybe 2ri

I have a few ideas about what we could do next, but I can’t give any deets yet!
