. ✦ ݁ ˖ @demonicdiligence " Holy shit -- That was amazing! " (Aamon to Ophelia)

[💜] “Aww!” Ophelia swished and swayed on her heels, suddenly ever so bashful from such a sweet compliment— but not bashful enough to not show off a little bit more. “Thank yooou!”

With a twirl of her finger, a few more sparks of spectacular starlight sparkle around the two, and it lit up the night akin to fireflies.

What a ham.

She then held her hands behind her back and tilted her head up at this stranger who had caught her. Oh, no ... there was a twinkle in her eye. (Only time could tell whether that was a good thing or a bad thing).

“I bet you can do amazing things, too. You should show me.”

[...I realize that I meant to write starters for the #MonsterHouseParty last week, but things exploded a bit with work which affected my overall energy and time to write. I realize that the event is effectively over, but I am still interested in writing for it- or barring that writing with everyone who wanted a starter- so for the following blogs who liked this post, I will reach out to you either over discord or Tumblr-IM to see if you want a 'Party' starter or a more generic one - assuming you do not reach out first and beat me to it:]

Airin cups his hands over his nose in utter shock. " Oh... oh my god. " With a sharp intake of breath, one might mistake that the worst thing in the entire world happened to him. Or well, Aamon by the way he's looking at him with wide, terrified eyes.

" Where are your thumbs... "

@demonicdiligence has regrettfully crossed paths.

@demonicdiligence || hey it's you again

"I certainly didn't expect to see you again." It'd been quite a while, hadn't it? Long enough to almost forget the stranger. "How are you?"

[reapcrbunny]

(    🐇   )              HER SCYTHE IS placed back 'pon her back as she watches the other, unsure of the intention of their arrival is - but tried to think positive. not everyone that she doesn't know is going to BE A PROBLEM.

<    HELLO . . CAN YOU mayhap state your business ? sorry, i have not SEEN YOU BEFORE.    >     

@demonicdiligence liked for a starter

@demonicdiligence has started following!

She was working on clearing a spot in the rubble - using her magic to carefully lift pieces of debris and reveal more of the cobbled streets beneath.

But then something caught Talia's attention. The (particularly large) chunk she'd just lifted crashed to the ground in front of her as she turned her head. Red eye scanned the ruins. "Who's there?" she called out.

She could have sworn she felt someone watching her...

Maria, be careful on your next date with Zagan! I've heard there's hawks in the area. And with how short he is, I think they might carry him away, like a chihuahua.

((Referenced character: @demonicdiligence )

Maria stared in silence for a moment. "... No? He's perfectly capable of handling himself. I know he's short, but... He's fully able to stop a wild animal from attacking him."

She shook her head. "I mean. He can go toe-to-toe with me just fine."

Though what she didn't say was: Do people really get away with insulting political leaders where you're from? Because, while she wasn't sure about how things were in Hell, she knew such slander wouldn't go over well in Iraclaad.

♡ Aamon & Chiasa!

●●●●● | ATTRACTION ●●●●● | AFFECTION ●●●●● | INTEREST ●●●●● | LOYALTY ●●●●○ | TRUST

Its tha boy! She's very romantically involved with Aamon, and they click together really well! but whether or not they can survive over the honeymoon phase remains to be seen.

" Base form makes sense, yeah. " He gives a lazy shrug. " But from my experience what someone's true form is, is whatever they want to claim it to be, really. Cus' shifter folks don't go 'round introducing themselves as primis or secundo, but it's not too hard to figure out if you pay attention to mannerisms. "

Finally, he goes for a slice of pizza. Airin is careful to make sure he swallows before lingering on the demon's last comment.

" And well, if you're talking about a literal shape-shifter then yeah. Those are the trickster types who can change into anything like fucking putty and are annoying as all hell. "

Aamon is, at least for the moment, resisting the urge to jot down everything he needs in a notebook for later recollection. Likely because he was using his main hand to dig into the main dish - some pizza with a stromboli at the side.

Never let it be said that the Demon didn't know how to feast!

"So the distinction has nothing to do with the ability to transform itself, but with what your - for lack of a better term - base form is."

A small, nagging thought immediately comes to mind.

"What about things without a true form? Would they fall under secundo, vis a vis the 'something else entirely' clause you mentioned?"

[outofthiisworld]

✦˖° @demonicdiligence sent in: "So, ah, 'Doc' - what exact doctorates do you have?" Aamon being a Demon with a double degree - including one master's - he can't help but be a tad bit curious to what Doc's degree situation is.

[🧪] What a curious lad! Well … he hadn’t toiled all those years (and money) away to NOT talk about them, huh?

“Well, of course I have an MD— a medical degree, can’t do much good in healthcare without that. Got that one first.” Doc’s chest swelled up in pride for the next prize winner of his academic career: “I also have a PhD in biomedical sciences!”

…

The oldster’s chest then deflated a bit … none of it was much proper use NOW, considering he was by all means technically and legally dead. As always, he left out that little detail.

“I’ve had other trainings and academic pursuits, of course. I stand by that the preliminary surgical training was more intense than anything I’ve done— but that paper doesn’t weigh as much as the rest of them, yeah?” Doc chuckled.

Okay, okay. Enough about him now (before his answers start making more questions).

“How about you, lad? What’d you flush your money down the drain for?”

[airxn]

" If ya' didn't want to get bit then you shouldn't have had your hands on your sandwich! "

Airin made a go at snatching Aamon's food. It was a feeble attempt though. Just enough to get a chunk out of it, but he wants the whole thing.

He sits and huffs at the demon… and paws at his leg. Yeah sure buddy, he's definitely going to give you it now. // @demonicdiligence

Ava may have been a little more confident in this plan if she wasn't wearing a brand new dress that someone else had worked hard to make for her... but she followed Aamon anyway, even as she looked around anxiously and wrung her talons together.

Fortunately, the appearance of safety gear--magical safety gear, at that--eased her fears quite a bit, and she was quick to grab everything offered and put it on. How those magical kneepads managed to seal her taloned feet in shoes, she would never understand; it felt weird, too, but after testing them with a few steps, she straightened her posture confidently, hoisting the sledgehammer in her hands.

"Uh, got ir!" She said. "So I just... beat up this car? Hm... I guess I can channel my inner T. rex..."

"...there's a room for that in here?" So that's what all the racket was. Ava ruffled her feathers a bit, anxiously thinking over his offer. It never hurt to get some energy out in safe and constructive--or destructive, in this case--ways, but...

"I... I guess there's no harm in giving it a shot?" She finally said as she got to her feet.

“Red skin and horns? I surely hope you’re not a bokoblin!~ Apologies about the jest, but I am curious: what species do you hail from?”

@demonicdiligence​

The crow makes eye contact.

She opens her beak.

Inhaaale.

CAW CAW CAW CAW CAW CAW CAW!

Zagan is sitting there, only making direct eye contact with Nabe once she starts staring at him.

The presidential Demon is… very concerned.

“Is this a spite cawing, or are you trying to get my attention…?”

She stops cawing for a second, tilting her head.

“...  Yes.”  It can - and will - be both.

She still doesn’t like you, President Zagan.

“Give treats.”
