"Just curious, that's all!"

"I'm... wonderin' if there's any way I could figure out somethin' specific here."

"Hello!"

"Howdy."

(OOC: mod Prism speaking now, welcome to this wild rodeo that is Phighting parody Tumblr LOL)

"Why hello there!" -> The blue demon smiles and waves at the two approaching him, bowing slightly in greeting "What brings you two here into my little part of the cosmos? Do you need anything?"

(A rust damaged demon was walking about- most likely to take his mind off of something, holding his gear very close.. it does not seem to notice another demon in the way however as he bumped into Scythe.. or- Well… A Scythe)

o-oops! Sorry!….

(he gave her a nervous smile)

didn’t see you there!…

(…. Bro you cannot see anyways)

"Oh, it's- ...howdy?"

[thegodofhealth]

"'Kit- ...I mean, Divine Mercy... d'ya think ya could help me figure out anythin' 'bout this stranger who came up to me earlier? They said some things 'bout how my soul is fadin' and how my time's limited, and it ain't sittin' well with me..."

(OOC: since @souless-time-anon asked to be mentioned...)

They took the giant cookie out their mouth, coughing for a moment before putting his hands behind his back and turning to drifter scythe, effectively attempting to hide the giant treat

" Really now..? I uh.. Think whoever you're talking about might've come to visit me earlier aswell. I'm not quite sure what they might mean, it's rather cryptic, surely nothing bad but.. If you'd like, I could try keeping an eye on you. "

" how'd you even manage to find me again anyway.. am i just that bad at keeping myself hidden? "

"Sorry, ain't exactly gotten out of that old habit yet... as for the uniform, I got rid of it after leavin' the Church and gettin' out of Lost Temple."

"..."

"...been a while, hasn't it, Banny? Yer not still tryin' to hunt me down, are ya?"

*she's got some things that set her apart from the other version of her who almost became a god-killer, like the lack of a Church uniform, for one.*

Aaaahhhhh as someone who has had soul eater brainrot since childhood and is not recently getting into stancest- i need ur recent post injected straight into my bloodstream!!! Ugh if i may ramble a bit in ur inbox- the last bit being twin weapons and the betrayal that ford never transformed for him is so Tasty but also the angst of possible drifter stan era transforming for strangers for ~unsavory~ jobs meisters would rather not use their actual weapon for to make quick cash and stan hating every moment someone else's hands use him. But he's a charmer! A conman! He can resonate lightly with just about anyone but its always shallow and it never feels right for him always matching someone else's wavelength AND Then finding ford with Another weapon?? that he made a death scythe?? Ooohhh the angst

feel free to ramble in my inbox whenever

ahhh dont make me sobbbb. this one gets just a bit angsty

just gonna take this and say: liz and patty but if liz was alone (cause i think she definitely relied on patty as her rock and her light and stan would be a bit more like her imo) and didnt have patty to switch of with between wielding each other.

the ides of him selling himself as a weapon for hire basically to help with shitty and unsavory jobs??? *sobs on the floor* like yeah hes used to bending to the will of others so matching someone elses wavelength, even if its just enough to get the job done??? But he can do it even if he hates every second of it. i just know that left a mark on his soul!!!

i feel like even after he goes back to being partnered with Ford that theres always that moment after transforming, where his soul would recoil from the feeling of anothers just from those years of being a drifter. like he'd have to remind himself whose hands he's in because he used to let himself pass through so many (im sorryyyy) and itd take awhile for him to even get comfortable speaking to ford in his weapon form because with anyone else he would always just stay silent ahhhhhhh

also i think they'd have trouble with resonating. Ford would try to have them on the wavelenth that they had before but stan has changed so much since then (they both have) and that with the interference of blood (infected from fidds) i just think itd be a tough thing for them to settle back into.

i also think itd be cool to imagine them overcome with insanity (like that one scene with maka and crona fighting.)

i think maybe when they first gained the ability to transform fully that maybe stan and ford would switch off but at some point (with stans need to be useful and his devotion to ford) things change and stans always the one transforming. that isnt to say ford isnt devoted to stan also but thats a whole other conversation.

stan definitely lays up at night thinking about the fact that ford made someone other then him into a death scyth and once they reconcile he definitely throws that around when they argue (playfully >.<)

ooh imagine the first time stan feels ford matching his wavelength and letting stan lead instead of stan having to adjust himself to match ford like usual. i just know that would be one of the best feelings for him.

am i going off topic? i just have so many thoughts about this au!!!!

thanks for the askkk

(i meant to post this yesterday idk how i forgot)

...Scythe?

There's a shadow in the corner, looking down at her.

- @the-true-eye

"Eh?"

(OOC: feel free to send something directed at Drifter!Scythe to @drifterduet as well if you want, haven't gotten many asks recently there anyways so uh- lol)

[faolonfiendrender]

"Mate, I'm sure you're good, but, do you really think you can take me?"

"Maybe, I keep up with Umbra and the Stalker, not sure where you fall, but you can't be that far above them. Plus we'll never know unless we try."

"Fair enough, the rules are first blood from the chest, no decapitation or anything, I don't want to die or kill you, even if we'd both get better. Also, no lifting eachother, throwing is fine, but no just picking someone up. Honestly, might be fun to have some spectators."

"Seems fair. Q, Aoi, can you two referee? we're gonna do this on the roof, and the PA system is up there."

A few minutes later the hex, and a few spectators had aligned in a rough circle, fairly wide, because while many wanted to watch, nobody particularly wanted to join accidentally.

Just before everything started, the drifter heard a voice in their head "Be a dear and kick my brother's ass for me. I think it might do both of you a bit of good."

They just smiled and placed their hands on the swords.

Quincy started talking into the microphone.

"This is Quincy announcing for the fight about to begin. Today, we have a grudge match - "

"There's no grudge!" Arthur tried to correct

"Ignore him. Today we have a grudge match between his maj. Arthur Nightingale, and Kalay, our drifter, this is a match of Steel against Brass to first blood. I already know the winner, and I've got a thousand höllars on him, but I won't tell you who just yet"

Aoi piped up "Tonight, we see them settle who is better with the sword. Normally, Kalay prefers his scythe, but those two swords used to belong to the man who taught him to fight, and they told me that if they can't win with those, it's not victory."

After a pause, she added "When the bell rings, the fight begins." With that, the steel bell that Aoi had whipped up, the one she was currently holding aloft with her power fell.

The note rang out.

Arthur closed the distance almost immediately. Swinging his skana where Kalay just was. They disappeared almost immediately, appearing for a second about ten feet to the side, and then immediately behind Arthur. Arthur spun to catch their blade with superhuman speed, and a bit of pressure made them hop backwards. Then blades clashed rapidly. Strike after strike sparking off each other, fast enough, and ready enough to exploit any gap in defense that none could tell who was attacking or defending in each case.

Then Arthur made a mistake. He hopped slightly, bringing his skana down with his full weight, almost two hundred pounds of man originally and even more since Albrecht's experiments. Kalay almost flowed past the blade, trying to stab into Arthur's shoulder, and failing that, knock him on his back. The blades glanced off Arthur's armored skin, no blood drawn, one of the many advantages he had, but Arthur landed on his back all the same, slightly cracking the concrete as he landed.

The drifter tried their own strike, putting their whole weight behind a single blade. This was Kalay's first mistake. Arthur was quick to regain his footing, kicking her in the chest as he hopped up. Sending her a good ten feet through the air with a nasty sounding crack, and sending her smaller sword further, even as landed on her feet and anchored herself with the larger one.

Arthur called out "You alright?"

"Fought through worse in Duviri."

Once again Arthur was there, this time, Kalay caught his arm and took all the momentum of his twenty foot lunge and threw it past themself. To Arthur's credit, he landed on his feet. The fight was back on. Arthur slashed upward and met Kalay's flying blade. A slash that would have crossed the gut was foiled as Kalay stepped back, but they missed their retribution as they appeared behind where Arthur was, strong gust crossing the path between the points, and Arthur just one step to the side.

This continued for some time, blades scintillating and sparks flying. Eventually, both misjudged at once, thinking that their blade would catch the other's blade, and the tip would slash across their opponent's chest. Both certain that this would be the final strike

A thin red line appeared on both of them, swords never having made contact with each other. Each had their sword at arms length, out to the right, blood dripping from the blade. Both fell to their knees, leaning on their blades.

All were stunned. Arthur's laugh broke the silence as he stood himself up.

"Of course it's a bloody tie. Of course." He chuckled as he offered a hand to Kalay, and she took it and inhaled hard.

After Kalay was up, Arthur said "That was fun, been a while since someone kept me on my toes when I knew their tricks."

Walking over to the other sword, he pulled it from where it lay plunged into the concrete, and offered it to Kalay. She shook her head.

"Keep it for now, I'm sure it will wander back to me in due time, but I think you'd do it honor by carrying it until that happens. Plus, if I have to leave for a while, it gives you something to remember me by."

With that Aoi spoke up, Quincy was still mulling over the exact wording of his bet with Lettie, trying to figure out if opening the bet with "No way does Arthur win" means he won.

"It appears we have a tie! Everyone wins for now, and the title of best sword in the hex is undecided."

Next to her, Quincy cursed just soft enough that the microphone didn't pick it up before piping in.

"That's right, His maj. and our drifter fought to a stalemate, now, give them,room, both of them are exhausted and a bit injured, and there's no call sticking around past the main event."

With that, both Arthur and Kalay stood themselves up, and the others came in to talk, congratulating whoever they thought needed it, or flipping Arthur shit. Sharing jokes and watching the sun go down until it was just Arthur and the drifter up there.

“I know you had a bloody good teacher, but still, where did you learn to fight like that?”

“Same as you, I think, experience.”

“Yeah, that’s one way to put it. You know, on nights like this, my sister used to sit out looking at the stars, sometimes she dragged me out with her, pointing out the constellations, and where the planets were up there. There were never as many there than there are here, I guess half the power grid being eaten will do that. I’m sure by your time everything’s so damn bright that you can’t even see them”

“When I grew up, yeah, there were nights when I couldn't see even Lua, but when I got back, the earth was mostly back to being wild, I’d spend hours sitting on the nose of the orbiter looking up. The stars have changed a lot since now and since I first saw them being brought aboard the Zariman. Sometimes, I sit in Kahl's camp with the others and listen to their stories while just trying to spot where I've been"

"You two should come up here some time, she probably still could tell you all sorts of stories about the stars. That's one thing you two share in common, being damn good at telling stories."

[drifterduet]

"Howdy, 'Kit..."

*the lack of a Church uniform and the prosthetic eye (like- one of those ones that's meant to look as close to a real eye as possible) she has would probably make her look off to anyone not from her own universe*

"..."

*she isn't saying much yet, though she still seems... bothered about something, to say the least*

[prismaticstarshch]

my mind has suddenly gone to wanting to have proper references for Drifter!Scythe, Drifter!Heartsong and Obsidian Pickaxe

here was me rambling about design notes for the Drifter Duet some time ago if anyone wants to try their hand at anything

meanwhile Obsidian Pickaxe has a semi-proper ref (made in Catalog Avatar Creator) but doesn't have a proper ref for her gear
