GET SCENE'D

[keeperthemultiversemom]

Keeper, what is your relationship with Archivist?

(I ask this because I found out you lost some other ask of someone questioned the same or similar thing and that it was the Reveal of some lore so I asked this so you can do it still!)

You are the most helpful little helper ( even if in the end I found the ask I thought I lost lmao )

But, for your good help anyway, I'll ramble about Keeper's relationships

I think it's stuff I mentionned before but only in tags so here's an explanation of Keeper's relationships !

•Adopted children, characters that she actually raised: Archivist (by @/pom3-cryns), Morpheus (by @/finstel) [this may include more characters later on]

•Characters that are like foster children to her : Filante, Messenger

•'Neighbors kid' she cares for as her own : Trader, Courier, Observer

•Friends (on equal level, so less of a maternal connections) : Filante, Wayfinder, Watcheye

•Patients (those she cared back to health): Stitcher, Faceless, most of the other characters you may see in her domaine

Most people, y/n or you viewers fall in the patient or neighbors kid category btw, depending on what you need from Keeper

•Coworkers/Part of the oob system like her : Observer, Solver, Shopkeeper, Watcheye, Archivist, Admin

•Cousins : the Nyxies, any Nyxies really, but most often 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0. And also Muse. Keeper see them as cousins because I'm their creators, she'll feel that way with most of my AUs

Damaged relationship : Stitcher, Admin

You may notice some characters are in multiple categories, and it's too highlights the complex relationships she has. It's full of nuances. Archivist is her son but also a coworker. Filante started out as a foster kid but things developped between them to a point that kind of relationship hurt them both, so Keeper had to take a step back and let Filante go so they could be on equal grounds.

I hope this lil bit of lorz sharing wasn't too much

New asks are coming tonight ! And hopefully during the week too

I have to comb through what I can answer and start to show more lore more frankly

In the mean time, reminder that I have a website where a lot of stuff was revealed, and in some of the lastest asks I gave away a lot of stuff too

The crew decided that we could stop teasing the lore and instead being more frank about it, so get ready for that whenever it comes lmao

[wordsbymae]

nooo the wandering eyes😭 farmer, you were supposed to be different</3

would he ever see the insecurity of his little mouse? them trying to change to be more like people that he keeps looking at? and i'll be patiently waiting for the breaking point of mousey you mentioned, dear author👀

- 💫

Hehe my bad. If it helps, older farmer only has eyes for his pumpkin. But unfortunately, we're talking about Playboy Farmer so yeah his eyes wander slightly. He by no means ever acts on it, won't even talk to whoever he's eyeing. He's just a stupid man who doesn't see how it could count as cheating. To answer your question....maybe, most likely not. Mouse doesn't go out very much so it's only once or twice they notices this happening, and like most insecurities, it festers under their skin for a long time.

It starts small, eyes darting to look at their reflection before glancing away, worrying about how their clothes fit or how their hair looks. And despite telling the farmer they didn't really care what that cruel person said, those words dart around their head, causing doubt and worry. It's manageable though. Especially since they don't see many people so there are not many to compare themselves to.

But then they go out one weekend. To some market or fair or whatever. They walk hand in hand through the grounds, the farmer almost bored but still willing to be dragged where ever his sweet mousey wishes to go.

He stands behind them as they try to win a stuffed cow. Mousey's aim was shocking, but he knew they like to have a go first before passing the toy rifle over to him. He begins to lose interest, eyes wandering away.

Then a flash of skin catches his eye. A snake dancer is passing by, barely wearing anything at all, skin open for all to see. Long legs and a pretty face. Can you blame the double take he did, the low whistle and the roaming eyes from head to toe?

Mousey can. They turned when he whistled, thinking he was proud of the shot they just took. He was always saying they couldn't shoot for shit. Instead, they turn to see him lusty after a scantly clad figure, dancing with a snake roaming across their limbs. They dance with a fever, golden cloth shimmering in the light, eyes dark and seductive. Mouse watches as his eyes gaze at them in hunger, his mouth smirking. Mousey can't recall him ever looking at them like that.

They throw the gun onto the table and march away, tears blurring their vision. How could they compete with someone like that? So gorgeous that it hurt to look at them. They never dressed like that, acted like that, looked like that or even felt like that. They were just as plain as a mouse, nothing special or to write home to, nothing but someone to settle for.

Because that's why the farmer was with them, wasn't it? No one else wanted him, so he settled for what he could get. A boring little mousey. They rushed away, trying desperately to cover their tears.

It took the farmer a regrettable minute to realise mouse was gone. His eyes followed the dancer until they turned a corner and then he swung back around to see how his pretty mouse was getting on. Only to find them missing. His eyes darted around in fear and worry. Where did they run off to? did something happen?

He rushed forward into the crowd. His mousey was missing and wasn't gonna waste one second.

~~~~~~~~~~

He finds them sitting on the tray on his truck, eyes red and cheeks puffy. They were hunched over and tight lipped staring at the muddy ground below.

"Darlin'!" he called, "where the hell you bin, I've been lookin' for you everywhere. You got me worried sick"

You gave a loud sniff and turned your eyes away

"Why you cryn', someone say something? Was it that shit head?" he asked, hands finding your checks.

You flinched away from him, grimising as his touch.

"No body said anything" you grumbled, wishing he would just leave you alone

"Somebody do somethin then? Who was it" he growled. "You just give me a name, hell a face, and I'll fix it"

"You" you whispered with anger. "You did it. You're the reason I'm crying. You're the reason the night's been ruined"

"What I do mousey!" he huffed, "is it cause I wasn't watchin' ya shot the cans. I was watching, I swear!"

"How could you? you clearly had your eyes elsewhere! Couldn't peal them off, not even long enough to see me leave!" anger was rising now, pain morphing into a rage

"Now sweet-" he tried, his mistake now clear to him

"Do you even love me? Or are you just settling down with the only person who would be desperate enough to stay with you" came a growl

"Of course I love you!"

he was getting mad now, you could tell, defensive even.

"You show that love by eye fucking strangers? hm?" you jumped from the tray and gave him a light pushback. "I saw the way you looked at them! Like, like you actually wanted them. Like you were desperate for them!"

He let you advance upon him, his mind struggling to keep up. He just looked, why was it such a problem to just look?

"I would never cheat on you darlin'. Never" His hands were raised now in surrender or in defence you weren't too sure.

"Why should I believe you? It's a look today, a touch tomorrow and then next thing I know you're fucking them in our bed!" you shouted, eyes narrowed in hurt. This was apparently too far for him.

"Now you listen here mouse, I admit I ain't no church boy, not some holier than thou man free of sin. But I would never betray you like that, in our bed or anywhere. You are the only thing I care about." He huffed, rough hands gripping your shoulders tight. Love and pain were clear in his eyes.

"So yeah, I looked at someone else, my eyes do sometimes wander" You gave a groan of disgust "But! But they always come back to you. Come on darlin' let's just forget about this and head on home yeah? Or I can win you that stuffed cow you were after."

"I can't just forget!" you sneered.

"Well, why the hell not! Have you at least tried?"

"I can't forget because you don't look at me like that!"

Silence lingered, tears fell a bit further, and hands slipped away from your shoulders.

"You don't look at me like you want me" you whispered, "or like you're desperate to touch me, to have me. You just..... look at me, but never like how you looked at them"

"You can be real fucking dumb sometimes honey"

"Excuse me?"

"Of course, I don't look at you like that" he scoffed, and your heart fell "I ain't looking at you like that cause unlike anyone else, I need you. Like I need air to breathe or water to live. Without you, I'd die of heartbreak"

"Yeah right" you mumble

"It's true! Without you, I'd drink myself dead in a matter of days! And when I look at you, I look at you like I'm fucking in love with you, 'cause I am. So why would I look at someone like how I look at you? "

You stumbled over what to say, how to answer but nothing came out.

"And also I look at you like I wanna fuck you all the time, you just don't see me looking. Which is good for me 'cause I get to catch you in some pretty naughty situations" He smirked before a well-aimed slap to the arm changed his mouth to a small ow.

"If I ever, and I mean ever catch you looking at someone else you can sleep with the dogs"

"Aye, aye captain," he said, giving a mock salute as you giggled.

"You're not so easily forgiven though"

"Oh? And how does the light and love of my life wish me to be punished for my misdeeds?"

"Go be a man and win me that cow."

~~~~~~~~~~~~

In all seriousness though, looking at other people like he did isn't very faithful at all and would be something I would struggle to forgive, but this is fiction sooooo

[unsanctioned-if]

I'm curious, but do feel free to not answer if it has already been answered in the past. Astra is a vampire, but she also looks human. Is vampirism something that can only affect humans, or can other races be turned into a vampire too? Or is it a situation of vampires being entirely a race of its own, and that they're able to procreate like other races?

And if it's a case of vampires turning others, would the MC down the line, or in an epilogue or something, be able to be turned to be with Astra? I don't know what a vampire lifespan looks like in your game, but I would imagine most people that romance her, would want that 'ideal' happily ever after with her, where Mc's lifespan won't get in the way of that assuming vampires don't age at all, or do so incredibly slowly.

Hey, thank you so much for the ask! That's a good question.

Vampirism can affect any race, but is more likely to happen to humans and elves. Cryn have sturdier skin that's crystallized in places, which makes them a more difficult target for vampires in general.

Giving the MC the option to turn into one isn't something I have planned as of right now, regardless of chosen race. The main reason for this is that it'd significantly change what the MC would be able to do/not do; there are smaller things such as not being able to walk in sunlight, which would mean specific branching down the line and adding some extra alternative paths. This wouldn't be much of a problem however since I've already included flavor-text depending on race, background etc. and will continue to do so where it makes sense in the story.

What would be a problem, though, is the fact that vampires in this universe can't cast or use magic themselves. Which, considering the plot of "Unsanctioned", would make things tricky to say the least.

To be clear: vampires can still be influenced by magic and spells (whether they affect them negatively or positively), but they lose the potential/ability to use it when they turn.

Whether or not that's one of the endings you can get...maybe? Even if it's something I'd decided for certain one way or another, I wouldn't reveal that info at this time since it'd be a bit too spoilery :) I haven't planned for all of the various endings you can get yet. Some I have in mind and others will come to me as I continue writing.

In short, never say never, but I can't make any promises! I hope that makes sense.

Hi Cryn!!

There are. So many options and many of them overlap so I'm just gonna use bullet points lmao

VERMILION BY ALKALOID I WILL NEVER BE OVER VERMILION BY ALKALOID IT IS AN IMMEDIATE SHOT OF DOPAMINE RIGHT TO CENTRAL COMMAND OF MY BRAIN.

Lightning round for es songs that make me happy no matter how low my mood is: Heart Aid Cafeteria, Mystic Fragrance, Melty Kitchen, Yukai Tsuukai That's Alright, Marine Blue Rendezvous, Trick with Treat, The Tempest Night, and Be the Party Bee. A certain other song would be here if not for the fact that it also makes me sad.

There's Answer by Frederic×Keina Suda which topped my Wrapped last year at 208 plays and is instant dopamine. I looped it for like 2 hours straight when I first heard it and it hasn't left my playlist since.

Sora to utsuro by sasanomaly is a BANGER and also from the show where I found my first fictional birthday twin <3.

Landscape by Kotaro Oshio always makes me wanna dance in a field of wildflowers somewhere even though I can't dance and am allergic to pollen 😌

Several songs from anime that I won't list all of but especially Infinity by Yuuri and Kaze no Uta by FLOW. Rin Rin Hi Hi by Hashiguchikanaderiya makes me happy but unfortunately does get annoying after enough plays.

Also several songs from video games that I am. Far too tired to think about rn but just know there's a LOT.

Annnnnnd that's all I can think of rn! Thank you for the ask :)

👤 Andromeda 😌

“Andromeda is…she’s bloody everything to me, really. She’s proof not everything coming out of that world is bad. Without a doubt, she’s the bravery, smartest, strongest person I’ve ever met. For some reason, she gives me the time of day, seems to value our friendship. I don’t know what I’d do without her in my life anymore, and I worry about something happening to her everyday. If she asked me to, I don’t think there’s anything I wouldn’t do for her.”

If you’re still doing the question prompts: ‘Why do you care?’ For MLQC Victor because who doesn’t love an angst filled question prompt :)))))

Thank you so much for asking!  Here’s the finished result, completely unedited at the moment but I will come back to it at some point and correct any mistakes!

Victor: Prompt - Why do you care?

You were at the end of your tether.  Victor had criticised you report on exactly the wrong day.  You woke up in a pool of your own blood; thanks Mother Nature for being a week early; you dropped your coffee and ruined your new shoes, you missed your train, which in turn made you miss your first meeting, then the server crashed, leaving you less than an hour to rewrite your proposal from memory while the IT experts tried to recover the servers.  And now Victor was yelling at you because what you had managed to cobble together wasn’t up to his unattainable standards.

‘Exactly what were you thinking, turning in something this…amateurish?’  He threw the file across the desk towards you.  ‘After all this time you should know better.’  His sharp tone bit through your usual strong exterior and brought all your walls crashing down, any self esteem you had left after today withering.

Victor continued to rant about how bad your proposal, how you would, if you did not turn things around, lose your funding and, with it, your father’s company, walking across his office as he did so, his back turned to you so he didn’t see your bottom lip trembling as you fought back tears.  You had explained to him that it was a basic copy and that you would e-mail him the original, complete proposal once the server was back online, but that seemed to have gone in one ear and out of the other.  And you had finally had enough.  Before he reached the end of his pacing and turned you stood, picked up your file and bag, and walked out of the office.

Victor turned in time to see the door finishing its swing open and the very back of you disappearing from sight.  Sighing, he considered stopping time for a moment but knew that Goldman, and anyone else passing, would have seen you leave and probably realise something out of the ordinary had happened.  All he could do was follow you.  ‘Which way did she go?’  He asked his assistant as he headed towards the door to his office suites.

‘The ladies room, I think.’  Goldman called after him, confused by what had just happened, having heard Victor yelling and then you rush by close to tears.

You sobbed into your tissue in the locked stall.  You had planned on leaving LFG entirely but the tears made a break for it before you reached the elevator and you had no desire to embarrass yourself by walking through the lobby in tears.  No, instead you would relieve some of the tension you felt with a cry in the bathroom and then escape once you had calmed down, not that you knew when that might happen.  With how angry Victor was you were sure he would send you an aggressive message or e-mail, possibly via Goldman, but you were certain he wouldn’t come after you.  Obviously, you were wrong.

‘MC?’  You heard Victor call your name through the outer door but you couldn’t answer, your throat too choked with tears to make any sense.  Instead you pressed your forehead against the stall door as you tried to quiet your sobs.  ‘MC, I’m coming in.’  He stated firmly and you heard the muted sounds of the office increase as he entered.  ‘Open up.’  His gruff voice made you wish you could just flush yourself away and out of this situation, but as that wasn’t an option it was time to try and say something.

‘No.’  You cringed, hating how your voice was nothing more than a thick whimper, more full of emotion than you would ever want Victor to hear you.

‘Are you…crying in there?’

‘No!’  This time it was a definite sob and so squeaky you wondered if Victor would even understand.

‘You’re in the big leagues now, MC, crying when you don’t get what you want isn’t an option.’

You could envision him standing with his stupid muscular arms folded over his stupid broad chest, his stupid perfect eyebrows frowning disdainfully at your emotional outburst.

‘I’m not crying because I didn’t get my way!’  Was what you tried to say.  What came out instead was; I’ ot cryn cos I dint gt m’ way!

You heard Victor sigh and the door shift slightly where he leant on it.  ‘I have no idea what you said, but I assume it was arguing against my point.’

For some reason that was what shoved all your upset into anger at him.  He was not only your financial backer but more recently your boyfriend.  He had told you from the beginning he wouldn’t be giving you any preferential treatment in the work place and you respected that, but sometimes he just needed to read the damn room before opening his mouth.  You yanked the door open and there he stood, stupid and handsome with a face like thunder which changed to surprise for a brief moment when he took in your watery, puffy eyes, before returning to a sterner expression.

‘You should have your report by the end of the day.  As soon as our server is recovered.’  You succeeded in keeping your voice firm but there was no hiding the fact your nose was stuffy.  ‘Even if I have to stay up all night, I’ll make sure you get it by start of business tomorrow.’

‘We have a date tonight.’  He reminded you as he watched your reflection splashing water on your face before dabbing it with a tissue.

‘I’m sorry, something came up at work and I can’t afford to take the time off.’  You gave him the excuse you would have used if he wasn’t also your funder.  Your work was important and dammit you would make that point to him if it killed you, and at this rate it might.

‘I pulled a lot of strings to get the table for tonight because you specifically wanted to try their dessert trolley.’

‘Then you go alone.  The way things are going for me today I’ll probably get food poisoning anyway.’  You threw your bag on your shoulder as more tears threatened to spill over your cheeks, starting for the door.

You didn’t get far.  Victor caught your upper arm and stopped you.  ‘What happened today?’

‘I told you already but you were so tied up in your paperwork you didn’t listen!’  You shook his hand off you as the tears reinforcements arrived and trickled down your face like lines of betrayal.

His face was still straight and unmoved by your plight with no apology on his lips.  You just didn’t know how it would work if Victor couldn’t be even remotely sympathetic to you having had a bad day.

‘I’m listening now.’

You threw your arms in the air dramatically.  ‘Today has gone completely wrong but all I warned you about was of the server issue at the office, because I wasn’t going to let my personal problems get in the way of business, but you couldn’t even let me have that!’

‘Tell me what happened?’  The demanding tone in his voice pushed you over the edge and the only thing you could do was yell at him.

You couldn’t help but yell in reply.  ‘Why do you care?’

‘Because I love you, dummy!’

‘Don’t call me dum…wait, what did you say first?’  Your snappy retort quickly changed to a meek, confused one as your brain tried to process what you had heard.

‘I said,’ he approached you slowly, ‘that I love you.’

You shifted awkwardly as a whole host of different emotions coursed through you, threatening tears again but for an entirely different reason.  ‘You didn’t call me dummy.’  You muttered mostly to yourself.

‘Do you want me to call you dummy?’

‘I don’t know!’  You burst into tears again but this time he pulled you into his arms, stroking your hair with one hand as the other held you close.

You felt his lips press against your head and he spoke while still curved around you.  ‘Obviously more has happened today than I know about and I’m sorry I didn’t take it in when you told me about the server issue.  I had my fill of excuses today and I let that cloud my judgement.  I apologise and you don’t need to work late.  Just send me the original document as soon as you can, within working hours.’

‘You’re such a sweet talker.’  You murmured, finally feeling as though this day might be getting better.

‘And,’ he cleared his throat, his voice suddenly sounding more awkward than you had ever heard it, ‘if you want to reply to the fact I just put my heart on the line for you, that would be great.  No pressure though.’

You were torn between kicking yourself for not telling him and wanting to laugh at the nervousness in his voice.  Instead you swallowed down your tears and turned your face up to look at him.  ‘I love you too.’

He lowered his lips to your forehead, leaving a lingering kiss that made your skin tingle.  ‘How about we close business early today and I take you to Souvenir?  You look like you need some pudding.’

‘I’d like that.’  You nodded gratefully.

‘And don’t ever tell anyone I told you I loved you for the first time in a ladies bathroom.’

You couldn’t help but laugh at that.  What else were you going to do?  Cry?
