ARRRGGGHHHHHH

[vasiliquemort]

I am like the water when thy ship roll’d in that night Rough on the surface, but thou cut’st through like a knife And if we were not bound by fate, Never would have known from the look on thy face Lost in thy current like a priceless wine

Life was a willow and it bent before thy wind Head on the pillow, I could feel thee stealing in As if thou wert a mythical thing, A chalice from the palace or a champion ring There was one prize I would die to win

Y'know what'd be morbidly funny? If another plague hit Vesuvia by the time MC and their chosen RO might have a family and the adults have to stay behind to deal with affairs

But obviously, with all diseases, elderly and children are the most vulnerable

So imagine - almost all the parents are sending their kids away in this scenario. Because Nadia is a great leader who's well-aware of the dangers of this plague

But imagine if your chosen RO is Muriel. Let's say you have kids.

How devastated would this man be if he had to send his kids away for their safety, in the same way that his parents did to him when he was young?

Man, that would be really fun to write

(thank you to that one tumblr post I interacted with a while ago - where OP theorizes about Vesuvia and the red plague. It was rlly fun to read + think about it)

I am motivated by one thing and one thing only in video games and that is romance. If I cannot woo the most (in any combination of the following) uptight, mysterious, theatrical, and/or tragic fictional love interest in the game, then what is the point of me playing? If I cannot shower them with affection and love and give them all the soft things they deserve, then what is the point???

MC/Yuu/Summoner: I didn’t choose this adventure, it was forced upon me!

[soullessseraphim]

The point is they like to chase people down corridors with big sharp objects

As the poet dies with unfinished song, Nightingale's groan shall fill night all along As his gift is tart - as honey of wild, As words can't be spoken, and the silence - his bile

I shall come when stars are dark, when the moon is blind, In the dark hour of hound, under your gaze entwined I shall stand and say "come, oh come, heart of mine, Allow me to see your dear face once again - in my mire.."
