AAA URE BACK i'm so happy omg…you're one of my fav writers in this platform and i love rereading your fics and headcanons!!! ♪

i'd like to request coriander, daisy, fennel, peony and sweet pea from the plant asks for marion!! there's not enough marion content that i can find here I swear...I think he really deserves some more love 💔…but either way, thank you so much in advance and have a great day!! :] ★

(Marion is my beloved I'm always happy to write for him~)

Marion Blythe:

🌻coriander: what do they love the most about their s/o, both physical and personality-wise?

You’re some whose very easy for him to talk to. He doesn’t feel like you’re judging him, or underestimating his strength, or making any assumptions based on factors outside of his control. He feels like he could tell you anything, and having this emotional security is incredibly important to Marion; it’s always been difficult to let his real feelings shine through, but it wasn’t healthy for him to keep them inside constantly, so he needed a person who he felt could understand him. Even if you didn’t have the same opinions as he did, there was just something that made him comfortable speaking freely with you.

Marion likes your eyes. They’re like windows to the soul, or so Nova used to joke, but he never really understood the phrase ‘getting lost in their eyes’ until you. He could stare into your eyes forever if you let him but normally, you’d get too flustered, having to look away while Marion couldn’t possibly mirror you.

🌻daisy: what is their love language, both giving and receiving?

Giving: Acts of Service. This is more a goal set by himself but Marion likes to prove that he’s ‘useful’ to you; it’s nothing you’ve ever commented on, and you don’t quite know where it came from as its not like he has anything to prove. He just liked the feeling of knowing he was making your day easier, even when he was busy himself he still tried to fit in tasks that would make your day easier by the end of it. It’s not something he willingly admits to, of course, denying that it’s coming from the love he has for you as it would be too embarrassing to admit.

Receiving: Quality Time. Marion isn’t a high-maintenance lover, as much as his standards might have you perceive him that way. He doesn’t want you going out of your way to do things for him, nor does he have a need for endless gifts (although he won’t ever deny home-cooked breakfast). He always preferred doing things together when your free-time allowed it, like cooking together or watching movies with the entire family; at first he was nervous about spending time alone with you but now it’s exactly what he needs to keep his head on straight.

🌻fennel: what are their kisses like? where do they like to be kissed the most?

Marion’s kisses are thoughtful, always coming in a moment that you suspect yet still knocking you off your feet anyway. You can’t help but lean in to him and it’s exactly what he wants, that closeness that comes with being unabashedly in love. He preferred to take the moments slow, as much as his nerves were set alight when you kissed he couldn’t help but want to savor the moment.

He would say the lips if asked but he doesn’t have a preference, a kiss is a kiss but he does like ones he can reciprocate. When you’re quick with kissing him on the cheek or forehead he always tried to grab you before you could get away, which you now made into a game knowing he wanted to reciprocate any affection you gave him. It left you both giggling in a way you didn’t think Marion was capable of before dating him, kissing each other’s faces until your other responsibilities were remembered.

🌻peony: how do they get their s/o to blush? how does their s/o make them blush?

Marion is always proud when he managed to set up a perfectly romantic moment for the two of you to enjoy together, and the confidence he has about knowing you is something you can’t help but blush over. There are some partners who might take a more bashful approach to it but knowing you inside and out is a source of pride for Marion, who put endless effort into your relationship while training his hardest to be a great hero.

Marion is surprisingly easy to make blush, almost like its natural reaction to your presence. It happened when you leaned in close or suddenly start giving him physical affection before he can mentally prepare, or when you sincerely compliment an outfit you think he looks good in. Having any sort of praise coming from you pleased him, but romantic attention made him more nervous than other kids of attention from you.

🌻sweet pea: are they big on cuddling? what is their favorite position to cuddle their s/o in?

Marion enjoyed cuddling as long as he was in a good mood, as he preferred being left alone or not being confined if he was angry/worked up. There are times where he needs comfort that he’ll let you know it’s okay to be close to him, a comforting arm wrapped around his shoulder as he leaned into you and tried to get ahold of himself as he didn’t want your mood to tank alongside his. There’s something inherently comforting about having a person you can simply lean against and absorb their warmth without being questioned on it, although teasing is imminent especially when the cuddling happens on movie nights.

His favorite way to cuddle was when you were on the couch together, a nice blanket spread across your legs, either you curled up into him or him resting his head on your shoulder. He thought it was nice if somewhat distracting, the first few times finding it impossible to fully focus on the movie but eventually falling into a comfortable rhythm where Jacqueline wouldn’t constantly squeal about how cute the two of you were.

Sun Talon Abraxas

Let us adore the supremacy of that divine sun who illuminates all, from whom all proceed, to whom all must return, whom we invoke to direct our understandings aright in our progress towards his holy seat. -The Gayatri

Where is the birthplace of the radiant sun that the Greeks rose to meet at dawn with a kiss upon their upraised hands? From whence came Helios, son of Hyperion "The High Going" and Euryphaëssa "The Far Shining"? What is the source of the light that shines from Loka Chakshuh, the Vedic "Eye of the World"?

The Egyptians symbolized the birth of the sun through descriptions of the infant sun-god Horus, who arose from within the petals of a sacred blue lotus floating upon an endless sea. This sun was the "Eye of Ra," the "good eye of heaven" as the Samoyeds say. The idea of the eye of god was and is very widespread in the world. The fact that many people have conceived of the sun as both a youthful hero and an aged father merely suggests the cyclic rebirth of the orb's penetrating gaze.

Loka Chakshuh or Surya is depicted in the Vedas as the Godhead. of Supreme Truth and Knowledge, the Lord of Light. His two functions are luminous vision and luminous creation, suggesting that the vision of Truth and Knowledge is followed by the creation of Light. The medieval alchemists spoke of the sol niger, the black or invisible sun which they related to prime matter and the unconscious. The visible sun is at the nadir, out of which depths it must ascend toward its zenith, the invisible apex that oversees the creation of light.

"Chaos ceases at the effulgence of the Ray of Primordial Light helped on by the Word of the Central Sun." During the active periods of being, this central, invisible source gives rise to a stream of ceaseless energy whose vibrating currents become more active at each descending rung of the sevenfold ladder of being. The equinoxes and various other cyclic phases and periods of the visible solar course are only symbols of the singular truth which remains hidden. The activity of this energy, increasingly involuting into gross matter, can be seen as a demonstration of numerical patterns which are arcane hieroglyphs containing the keys that yield an ever greater abstract knowledge of solar reality. The Secret Doctrine describes the Central Sun as an unseen point in sidereal space which constantly attracts our solar system. It is the Centre of Rest to which all motion is ultimately referable. It is the "reservoir within which divine radiance, already differentiated at the beginning of every creation, is focused." This focal point is everywhere and yet – like the logos – it is somewhere. As the earth is attracted to the sun in our solar system (though obviously the centripetal forces in the system are counterbalanced by the centrifugal), so our sun is a servant to a more remote centre around which it revolves. One may imagine increasingly expanded systems ultimately resolving themselves within a solar centre which encompasses all but which exists on an inconceivably homogeneous plane of matter. One may analogically imagine all systems resolving themselves into an essential, primordial point in endless space. In our cogitations, we are wise to remember the admonition that not even the Dhyan Chohans can penetrate the mysteries of the boundaries separating the milliards of solar systems from the Central Invisible Sun.

In The Book of Dzyan the Central Sun is portrayed as causing the mysterious force called Fohat to collect primordial matter into globules and impel them to converge together as aggregates. This recommencement of spiralling motion, brought on by the heat of the Great Breath, creates the conditions necessary for the birth of the first 'primitive family,' the differentiation of matter into elements and sub-elements or what Occultism calls "temporary appearances." Such heterogeneous and temporary appearances are the prototypes of the visible suns and systems of planets as well as all the various combinations of life that they sustain. The principle activating and extending this process is the centrifugal energy of the universe – Lucifer, Lux, the light made visible in our solar system. It conveys the radiant energy flowing from the Central Sun which thus called into being and electrified the visible sun and earth and created the tension responsible for the revolution of the latter around the former. The activating principle of the earth can be traced through the physical sun to an energy that rises on a less mundane plane of existence.

In this vast and multifarious universe, there are grades of solar bodies which are like 'organs' acting in the whole process of creation in conjunction with electrical channels that convey their collective influence to the earth. The Fiery Breath which resides beyond manifested nature emanates the Central Spiritual Sun, parent of electricity, the fire of life and the manifested universe. Through seven planes of being, like the many-storied universe envisioned by Siberian people, the suns beget sons which become solar centres of life energy at progressively more concretized levels. The Dhyan Chohans, the Seven Divine Sons of the One Light, are luminous suns existing in an incorporeal condition like divine parents of subsequent septenate life. These Holy Ones embody the emerging primal elements in their most pristine essence and harmonious balance. Like rays from a virginal fire, they give of their essence, instilling divine intelligence into the progeny of their sovereign lineage.

It was the descendants of these Lords of Light who took on increasingly material garb and eventually walked upon the earth among men of many races and conditions. These great Heroes, like the rising sun, always came from the East. As Divine Races among men, they gave out sacred teachings and provided the foundations for the development of all the great civilizations that have existed in human history. These were the Solar Races around whom religious cults developed in every inhabited part of the world. These cults reached great heights in India, Egypt, Africa and the Americas, including the complex form which developed in Peru. There the Ynca, the first children of the sun, were placed by their Father in Lake Titicaca, one of the highest lakes in the world. From this solar brother and sister issued a lineage of royal descendants who were all known as children of the sun and called ynca. They ruled as Divine Kings and through elaborate ritual maintained a living link between the Sun as Godhead and the people of the mountainsides. In India the Surya Vansa or 'race of the sun' laid down its dynasty in Ayodhya. The Rig Veda speaks of them as solar kings. Later these kings became deified and their worship was the earliest anthropomorphization of the great primeval faith which considered the sun as Master of Life and Death. From this early and inspired devotion eventually arose ancestor worship which, wherever it exists in the world, is usually associated with a cult of the sun. As the sun is eternally reborn, so men are inspired to seek the source of their own rebirth and immortality. In allegorical fashion they achieve a sort of lineal immortality by keeping alive the psychic link with ancestors who are reborn again in the children of devout worshippers.

The sun is sometimes symbolically described as the 'heart' and 'brain' of the solar system. From it sensations radiate into "every nerve center of the great body." But it is only a "window cut into the real Solar Presence" which reflects the interior work. From within there is a circulation of vital fluid that passes through our solar system like the circulation of blood within an organism. The sun contracts and expands like the human heart, its systolic and diastolic phases marking the eleven-year sun-spot cycles which are intimately connected with solar eruptions affecting the earth and other planets. Each year the solar 'blood' passes through its 'auricles' and 'ventricles' before washing out the lungs' and passing into the 'veins' and 'arteries' of the system to complete the eleven-year cycle.

Through a telescope, the appearance of the physical sun is that of a disk with sharply defined edges, its brightest area being at its centre. During a solar eclipse, the corona may be seen to radiate out from this edge like a luminous halo, its shape varying with the phases of the sun-spot cycle. Spectroscopic findings reveal that sun-spots are merely indicators of activity going on within the sun. Like tubes, they penetrate through the convection zones toward the central zone. Here atomic radiations, which are largely reabsorbed due to tremendous gravitational pressures, counterbalance the centripetal force by a steady radiation pressure. One could say that the work of the centre is 'pushing out,' which is significantly reflected in the Sanskrit word Surya, whose root su means 'to press out' and is compounded in the term asu meaning 'to breathe.'

During solar storms great streams of highly ionized particles spiral in colossal arcs out from the sun's surface. These predominantly hydrogenate particles rush through space and impinge upon the earth's atmosphere, vastly affecting its climate, stirring up its atmosphere and affecting rates of change and growth around the globe. These currents run along the 'nerves' described in occult doctrine and recharge the system, breaking down and refining material with their fiery sharpness. The hidden 'heart' of the sun expands with this ionized 'blood' and washes clean the lungs' of space within the solar system. With electrifying power it fills the 'veins' and 'arteries,' revitalizing all aggregates of life within its system. Despite their enormous effect upon the earth, these 'storms' are really minor aspects of the sun's own colossal cyclic scale. Given the amazingly balanced reserve of energy that the sun continually maintains, it is, relative to this larger perspective, almost calm and unchanging, as the poets and mathematicians say. At the solar centre, mass is extremely concentrated and, due to enormously high temperatures, only the most 'elemental' forms of matter could exist there. Chemical modification occurs as energy is convected out towards the surface of the sun where conversion to light energy takes place. The 'heat' in the dense solar centre is quite different from that which is produced by the radiating rays at its surface where the density of matter is less than that of air. This central heat, which continually maintains itself, involves a concentration of matter that suggests activities of incalculable power, controlled by an arcane principle of complete equilibrium at a primal level. To put it in terms of the solar 'heart' and 'brain,' the massive and thunderous beating of that 'organ' is contained by an autonomic system, as it were, which reflects the dictates of a highly synthesized and anterior light. This is directly analogous with the function of the pineal gland within the human brain which synthesizes light and regulates the performance of all the bodily rhythms. It is also the basis, intuitively or cognitively, of the frequent reference made by classical writers to man as a sun.

The Puranas tell how the Devas asked the Rishis to bring the Sun into Satya Loka. The Sun-God warned them that if he left his place the world would be destroyed. One of the Rishis offered to put his 'red cloth' in the place of the Sun's disk and thus originated the visible shell of the sun. In fact, the sun is thickly surrounded by a red shell of matter, and it is only during a solar eclipse that we can gain the "indisputable evidence" of the real sun. This 'robe' of the sun, as the ancients called it, is made up of all the chemical elements to be found on earth and on every other planet but they exist in a more 'developed' state of matter, and our globe must necessarily become far more 'refined' before its elements could match the condition of those within that chromosphere. The whole magnificent process, involving the replacement of our earthly molecules with the 'giant atoms' from the Infinitude 'above,' is a grand symbol of what takes place microcosmically along the Guruparampara chain between teacher and disciple. Like the magnetic sun, the teacher attracts the chela, but the very centrifugal force of his luminous power forces the disciple to discover his own orbit, that he may eventually become a source of light himself. And just as the 'storms' upon the sun's surface seem to almost overwhelm the humble planet, so the forces surrounding the Guru must be slowly approached and assimilated by the disciple. An infinite process of exchange and refinement must take place.

We are advised that in order to acquire an understanding of the refined condition of the solar photosphere and chromosphere we must possess a knowledge of the sixth state of matter. In man this would correlate with the lighting up of buddhi. To achieve this one must work backward from the kama rupic vehicle to the awakening of manas which, The Secret Doctrine states, is endowed by the "spirit of our Visible Sun." In wedding manas to buddhi, man approaches the "Equatorial Sun" at the third level of manifestation. Beyond this radiates the "Polar Sun" which gives to man the spark of Atman from the Central Spiritual Sun. In pursuing upward along this vital channel within his being, man gradually realizes the Kshetrajna within, "The Soul's Spiritual Sun."

At all levels the sun is the most perfect symbol for this divine process. It not only points to the source of all process itself but commands the central position of omniscience in the universe. As the Vedas teach, all the gods attain to vastness by following Surya. Being exalted, He sees all and therefore knows all and, as one who takes in the whole world at a glance, He was invoked by the ancient Greeks in taking oaths. Not only does He make clear the path of goodness and purity to those who seek to walk in it, but He is pure Himself. As Kepler understood, He is physically at the spatial centre of the solar system and is symbolically representative of abstract Oneness. He is Sol, Solar, the absolute 'Good' overbrooding Plato's Divided Line. Like the seed of the arcane ancestor, the sun never dies but is always reborn. The transformation of a mere one percent of its mass from hydrogen to helium supplies enough energy to insure radiation and life-breath for at least a billion years. The extinction of our sun lies so far in the future that countless stages of refinement shall have affected all life within the entire solar system, producing forms and levels of consciousness few men have dreamed of on this earth. "Before the hour of the 'Solar Pralaya' strikes on the Watchtower of Eternity, all the other worlds of our system will be gliding in their spectral shells along the silent paths of Infinite Space." All the compassionate and stormy exchanges between spirit and matter that will have produced the perfected harvest of this solar system will be completed and their refined essence will have moved on to other arenas of universal evolution.

The Tarot relates the sun to purification and tribulation, "the sole purpose of which is to render transparent the opaque crust of the senses so that they may perceive the higher truths." Man, in his efforts to purify himself, unites himself by degrees to his prototype in heaven. As he does, he is drawn higher and higher, into successive rays, each of which supersedes the one lower, causing it to break away, until he is at last drawn into the highest beam of the Parent-Sun. It is taught that upon the death of one who has attained moksha, the soul goes from the heart of the body to the crown of the head, traversing the sushumna nerve. Thence it goes to the region of Surya Mandala along the solar rays and, entering into the Sun, is released into Paramapadha, the realm of the essence of the body of Ishwara. Tat tvam asi – THAT THOU ART. Surya Gayatri Mantra: “Om Bhaskaray Vidmahe Martanday Dheemahi Tanah Surya Prachodayat”

Helios Rising Heroes - Rage or Silence

Chapter 1: 

Asch: (There’s been no reaction from Substance and no movement from Eclipse)

[Motorcycle noises] 

Asch: …….Hm?

Asch: (Tch, it’s those guys again—)

Asch: (Damn biker, following me around)

Asch: (Bring it on. If you can keep up, then come at me!) 

----------------------------------------------------

Asch: (Hah, they couldn’t even keep up with that. What a pathetic bunch.) 

???: Don’t fuck with me! This is OUR territory! 

???: No. This isn’t your place.

Asch: (What’s going on? Some kinda fight starting?)

----------------------------------------------------

Biker A: Your little bitchass had better leave! What a sight for sore eyes!

Ren: Then you guys must be an ear infection. Stop yelling.

Ren: Claiming this place is some territory of yours is annoying. Get out of here with those motorbikes. 

Biker A: Hah!? Who the fuck you talking ‘bout?! 

Ren: ………..

Biker B: O-oi, wait a sec. I think I’ve seen this guy before…? He was with Gast Adler….

Biker A: Yeah I think I’ve seen him. Always hangin’ around with that guy, his name was…

Bikers: Akira Ootori!!!!!

Ren: Wh—....

Biker A: Ain’t that right! Gast Adler had some Japanese dude among his lackeys! He followed him around like goldfish poop…!*

Biker B: Heard rumors that he became a hero, but I never imagined he would’ve chased his own big brother that far~

Ren: ……Of all people, that name…..

Biker A: Hah? Y’say somethin’, Akira Ootori?

Biker A: Speak up, we can’t hear you, Akira Ootori. 

Ren: Don’t lump me in with that idiot—

Asch: Oi, all of you shut up.

Biker A: What’d you say!? 

Biker A: W-wait, you’re—!? 

Biker B: Asch Albright-san…….!

Ren: ……….

Asch: This place is under my jurisdiction. I’ll knock down anyone who dares object. 

Biker A: Sorry, Asch-san! 

Biker B: No objections here! 

Asch: ….Hah? 

Asch: The hell is up with you guys? Where’d that fighting spirit from earlier go? 

Biker A: We actually have a lot of respect for you, Asch-san! 

Biker B: Your motorcycle technique is amazing, and you’re the gold standard for all of us bikers! 

Asch: ….Huh?

Biker A: It’s so cool, that fearless way you drift corners and your systematic throttle work!

Biker B: Whenever I come across you in town, I get such an urge to race after you! 

Biker A: I know right. And yet he always leaves us in the dust~

Asch: Tch, is that why you were chasing me? 

Biker A: Sorry! I really wanted to try riding alongside you…. 

Asch: Well, whatever. More importantly, 

Asch: Why the hell are you fighting with these bikers? 

Ren: This is…. claimed territory. I can’t relax with the noise of their motorbikes. 

Biker A: The fuck did you say!? It’s because you thugs from Red South came here and caused all that fuckin’ chaos! Akira Ootori! 

Biker B: You’re not planning on causing havoc on Green East too, are you, Akira Ootori!

Ren: Stop making the same mistake over and over! Akira isn’t—

Asch: Your place is in North. Don’t go and stake claims within someone else’s area. 

Ren: …..It’s not my territory. 

Asch: Then whose is it?

Ren: Shouldn’t it be obvious….

Asch: Haah!?

Ren: Once things quiet down around here, then—

Cat: Meow

Masterlist || Next

TL Note: 

1. *This is literal. Goldfish poop tends to come out in a string that trails off behind them in the water as they swim instead of breaking off. I’ll leave you guys to google it if you want to see it. I could’ve also gone with the more common English phrase “follow him around like a dog” but goldfish poop was the original JP and it was objectively funnier.

HeliosR - Tonight at 8 o’clock, at that place (drama track)

Translation of the drama track "Tonight at 8 o’clock, at that place" featured on the CD of Helios Rising Heroes ED Second Season Vol.1.

This is my first time posting a HeliosR drama track translation, if there are any mistakes due to potential mishearing, please do notify me about it. I mostly TL'd it by intense repetitive listening.

I might dabble in some others that I personally really enjoy and think it's crucial character lore(tm), but for now drama track TLs for Helios are mostly a side gig for the fun.

(Opening) 

Victor: Tonight at 8 o’clock, at that place

(Drama track start)

Gast: (This is pretty sudden but I, Gast Adler, am currently at a sushi bar in Green East. As to how I ended up here, I have no idea myself. The other members I’m with are Doc, Jay and also Brad. No but why, like seriously, why the hell did I get invited out here?) 

Jay: Brad, Gast. Many thanks for accepting Victor and I’s invitation today. Man, talking about aquariums with Victor made me crave some sushi.

Gast: (No, no, no, why!? Why did talkin’ about aquariums make you wanna eat some sushi? Is that normal? Or am I overthinkin’ this?)

Victor: How unbelievable, I wouldn’t have imagined appreciation for marine life would take a sudden turn to sushi.

Gast: (Oh thank god, I ain’t the only one. Didn’t think Doc would be on the same page as me, but thank god!)

Brad: I appreciate the invitation. I had been interested in conveyor belt sushi since this place opened its doors in Little Tokyo.　

Jay: Haha, can’t leave Brad out when it comes to sushi. Not a chance we wouldn’t have invited you.

Victor: It’s my first time eating conveyor belt sushi. For what reason would one go out of their way to make sushi get transported in such a manner?

Brad: Originally, sushi had a strong luxurious image to it, thus as a result of trying to make it more affordable for the general public, conveyor belt sushi was born.

Incidentally, the idea of serving sushi in such a way had come from how they used said machinery in factories. 

Jay: Hahaha, look at you go Brad. Usually you keep it cool but when it comes to sushi, your passion bursts out.

Gast: Huh, so Brad likes sushi. Think Akira told me ‘bout it before. Makes sense as to why Brad would get invited, but why did I get called out here today?

Jay: Ah that’s because---

Victor: You just so happened to be there, that’s all.

Gast: Eh?

Victor: Since Jay invited Brad, I was told to take someone with me too. Without anyone coming to mind in particular, I coincidentally ran into Gast, you, first while walking in the hallway.

Gast: J-just so…?

Victor: Is there anything?

Gast: Not really!? Nothin’ at all. Like nothin’ at all.

Gast: (Was wonderin’ there was something due to how I was suddenly called over but, to think he seriously just took me along like that. S’giving me some mixed feelings though.

Well, that's how things go normally? It’s true I tagged along ‘cuz I had nothin’ to do. If that’s how it is, then I’ll have my fill of sushi and go home.)

-

Jay: Your short courses on substance are great, but why not throw in some classes about fish for the kids at the aquarium too? How about it, Professor Fish?

Victor: You’re tenacious, Jay. Please stop with calling me that.

Jay: Hahaha, sorry, sorry! Can’t wipe that scene from the kids calling you so from my mind though.

Victor: Good grief…

Gast: Huh, Doc and Jay surprisingly get along pretty well.

Jay: We’ve been getting along for quite a while, you know! Especially from the time we both got admitted to Helios. 

Gast: So when you were a rookie? That’s amazin’.

Victor: We did indeed interact, although I’m unsure if it’s correct to frame it as being on good terms.

Jay: Wha- Don’t say something so lonely now, Victor! You know we were there for each other during our tough time as rookies. 

Gast: When Jay was a rookie then… Doc was, uh… 

Victor: I was about 13 years old back then. Just as Jay, I joined the research department at Helios early.

Gast: I see! So Doc had a time like that too, eh. I totally can’t imagine it though.

Jay: Wanna hear about what kind of boy Victor was?

Victor: It’s not your place to discuss that, Jay.

Jay: Huh!? You won’t let me talk about it!? Even though we’re having such a blast tonight. Brad’s curious about it too, no?

Brad: Well, it’s not right to disregard him. I agree with Victor on that front.

However, personally speaking I am interested about both of your pasts. It’s not often I get to hear you talk about such things, which honestly makes me happy when you do. 

Jay: Exactly, exactly! You get it, Brad. You’re enjoying your sushi, no? Make sure to eat to your heart's content since we’re here after all.

Brad: Yeah. Gast, is it to your taste?

Gast: Ah, yeah. Been havin’ my fill since earlier, the salmon’s so tasty I’m on my 10th plate already!

Brad: I see, that’s good then.

Gast: (Man, s’kinda feeling like a waste to just eat sushi and head home. Thinking ‘bout it for a sec, everyone here ‘cept me are all major heroes. Reminiscing about the past is nice and all, but there’s also lotsa things I’d like to ask.

Guess I’ll air out some of my worries now that I got the chance.)

Victor: What’s the matter, Gast? Your chopsticks froze in place.

Gast: Er- How should I go on ‘bout being more reliable for my team members? Everyone here are adults from the 13th gen, and all have this dependable vibe- in my opinion.

That’s why I wanted to try askin’…

Jay: Nice one, Gast. These are the types of questions you should come at with full force.

Let’s see, I recommend following Brad’s example in this case. As a Mentor Leader he’s leading the 13th generation, which makes him quite dependable.

Brad, if there’s any advice you got, lay it out on him.

Brad: When it comes to earning the people’s trust, I believe Jay to be the most suitable example to follow.

The idea of Mentor Leader is a mere title in comparison. Jay operates without it, and is trusted by friends and allies, being someone you can rely on. I tried to follow Jay’s teachings myself.

It’s no exaggeration to claim that’s where my roots come from.

Jay: Guh- It’s kind of embarrassing when you put it like that… It’s true that I taught you, but you’ve been firm on your feet ever since your days as a rookie. 

Victor: It’s true that there’s a difference in types, I’d even go as far to say that they’re both extreme variants. Neither can you deny that both Jay and Brad are suitable to be leaders.

Brad is the character of order, a leader that exemplifies what oneself ought to be. Jay on the other hand garners respect, a leader that leads the people- is what I would say.

I can’t clearly say which Gast resembles closely, however since there are many different types, I think it’d be best to look at the good points of each respectively, and apply it to yourself. 

Gast: Apply the good points, huh… I wanna be a bit more reliable but it ain’t like I wanna become a leader.

Victor: Is that so? I do believe that you have it in you though. On the same aptitude as these two, even.

Gast: Huh?

(*mysterious distance noises*)

Jay: Huh, what’s that noise?

Victor: It sounds like something’s on the move. Which is that train-like object heading over here…!?

Brad: Sorry… This is… the sushi train I ordered.

Jay, Victor & Gast: Sushi train!?

Brad: I’ve heard this is something unique to conveyor belt sushi, so I’ve been curious about it for a while… Although I had no idea there would be an actual train…

Jay: Ooh, it’s a toy train. The sushi’s hitching a ride on each cart. 

Victor: It seems to be an item from the kids menu. 

Brad: U-ugh…

Jay: Pay no mind, Brad! For today- or rather, amongst us, there’s no need to worry!

Victor: Indeed. You can ask for whatever you’d like after all.

Brad: T-that’s not the problem here…

Gast: (Huuuh, so that’s how Brad gets when he’s with these two. Kinda hard to imagine when keeping in mind how the Mentor Leader’s usually like. It’s a given with these people though.)

Jay: Gast, don’t sweat the details either and just kick back and relax.

Gast: Eh?

Jay: You’re somewhat similar to Brad in a way. Out of all the rookies you came with the most maturity, and I often brought up to Brad how you might have an issue that would be hard to talk about at that time. 

Brad: Yeah.

Gast: Huh!?

Jay: Victor, you’ve honestly had that on your mind too, which is why you invited him, no?

Gast: EEEEEH!?

Victor: How many times have I told you to stop talking on my behalf now.

Jay: Ahahahaha, my bad! After all said and done it was a worthwhile outing for Gast, you think so too don’t you?

Victor: Sigh. 

Gast: (What… so in the end there WAS a reason I got invited!? Or there wasn’t!? Gaah, I don’ really get it- but I mean, I’m glad I was asked to.

Ate some tasty sushi, and I was able to hang out with mentors I don’ usually have to do much with. Since I’m here, might as well take ‘em up on their offer for today and go all out enjoying myself while kickin’ it back.

Just kidding♪)

⚔️Aries Evander Cavallero⚔️

Family History

Aries Cavallero is the second and youngest child of Markus and the late Elythia Cavallero. He is also the younger brother of Helios Cavallero, who has a rebellious spirit that was frequently looked down upon by his father. Markus Cavallero is the Commander of the Watch for the Open Lord of Waterdeep. His career routinely kept him away from home, so he turned to Elythia to raise Helios and Aries. Because of this, Elythia maintained the Cavallero household and created a strong bond with both of her sons before her abrupt passing. Shortly after turning 18, Helios moved away from his father and brother to live on his own. Since then, he has kept very little contact with Aries.

Early Life

Aries was born and raised in the prosperous city of Waterdeep. He and his family were more than comfortable thanks to his father’s career. Aries and Helios had a very close bond to their mother; Elythia practically raised them all on her own. She was a kind-hearted soul and did everything she could for her family. Aries looked up to his mother and was determined to be like her, even when his father pushed him incredibly hard to prepare to inherit his position as the Commander of the Watch. When Aries was only eight years old, Elythia was abducted. A few weeks later, she had been announced as deceased. Aries never gained much information about her disappearance or death, yet he began to have strange visions about what happened to her. They still occasionally happen to this day. After the death of their mother, Helios became Aries’ primary caretaker. As one can imagine, a sixteen to eighteen year old isn’t an optimal choice to be the custodian of an eight to ten year old, especially if both are suffering the loss of their mother. The first two years after her passing were the most painful for him and his family. Aries became determined to rise up to be a defender better than his father. He wanted to be where he can protect as many people as he can. He wanted to do more than follow around a noble.

Education/Career

Aries has been in the private school system all throughout his life. He started school at five years old, and at 11 transferred to a boarding school that focused on combat and heroism training. He was an exemplary student who graduated with high marks and a good reputation. Immediately upon graduation, he was offered a job as a Watchman in a small town near Waterdeep. He decided to take it, finding it to be a convenient distance away from his father, who honestly wouldn’t have time to visit him much even if he was closer to home.

Personality

Aries gained a personality quite similar to his mother’s, but it is encased in a shell of hesitation. It was assured to him at a young age that soldiers cannot love outwardly. Although he is quieter than most, it is not because of shyness. Aries is someone that will analyze a room to find the people he’d like to be near before he walks in it. He does not like to be caught off guard. He rarely speaks first, for lack of interest in talking inwardly. He takes things to heart and remembers small details. If he sees an interaction that doesn’t seem right, he will involve himself to mediate the situation, or escalate it if need be. He is not afraid to take a hit to protect someone in need. In summary, he is a pretty solid definition of the word “hero.”

Appearance

Aries is a 21 year old adult male. For a human, he is slightly above average in height, 5’9. He has a slim athletic build, and is lightly tanned with freckles spattered across his cheeks and shoulders. He has a sharp pointed jawline and a straight nose. His hair is short, pushed back, and messy, with the sides cut a bit closer to his head than the rest. It is a darker shade of strawberry blonde, although the sun naturally highlights several strands. He has wide, pale gray eyes. His right ear has two lobe piercings, while his left has one lobe and a helix. He has a scar that stretches from mid-forehead to the end of his nose across his right eye. This has made it to where a part of his eyebrow can no longer grow, giving him an eyebrow slit. He also has two smaller scars on his left cheek that run parallel to each other. One ends slightly sooner than the other. Many other frivolous scars are peppered across his body from countless stories regarding childhood accidents and school days in combat training.

❛  how can you be this cheery already? we haven't even had breakfast.  ❜ from annabeth chase to michael @multistoty

It's no secret among Camp that Michael despises mornings. He can never understand how some of his fellow campers find it in themselves to rise before the sun, let alone summon energy to start their busy days before the first light of dawn kisses the tops of the pine trees.

Unfortunately for him, seasoned campers have to conduct morning rounds near the perimeter for the safety of the other campers. Michael doesn't mind the night shifts; there's something calming about the soft chirping of the cicadas in summer, or the gentle crackling of the fires in the torches around Camp-- it's the unbearable morning shifts he can't stand. Everything gets on his nerves, whether it's the twittering robins flying over his head, or the giggling nymphs who seem to find enjoyment in his suffering.

Today's different. Michael and Annabeth are scheduled for their rounds at the Beach near the northern border. Refreshing salty air from the coastline carries over on the soft breeze, blowing his dark curls wildly in every direction. High tide pulls tumbling waves against the shore, white foamy sprays crashing on the golden-sand in a loud and rhythmic dance. He smiles. This place remind him of home and the hot summers at Coney Island he'd spend with his mom back when she was still alive. Beaches will always be a happy place for him.

He thinks of her as he absent-mindedly plays with his weapons of choice, dual Celestial Bronze daggers fitted perfectly to his palms. Michael tosses them in the air until they flip and land securely in his hands, light but deadly. Every child of Ares has a favourite weapon and for a long time, Michael's had been a sword. Only recently had he discovered the flexibility that comes with dual-wielded weapons, and now he can't imagine life without them. He still carries a sword with him but he's finding that he uses it less and less.

Annabeth, observant as she is, notices his good mood.

❛  how can you be this cheery already? we haven't even had breakfast.  ❜

He usually can't stand most Athena's kids because he's an action-oriented guy and they're all about planning and strategy-- none of that shit's gonna get 'em anywhere in a real fight with real stakes. He's always telling them, ❛A hydra ain't gonna wait 'round for a hero to come up with a seven step plan to take it down. Don't think, just do.❜

They don't tend to agree.

Annabeth is like her siblings in a lot of ways, stubborn and set in her ways, but Michael respects her. She's good at what she does, and he's seen her in action in the Arena-- she's damn near lethal, even when she's holding back.

❝Can't help myself,❞ he shrugs, gesturing vaguely at the water with an outstretched arm. ❝Hard to stay mad with that kinda view.❞

He gazes out at the horizon, hazel eyes taking in the wide open landscape, tiny stars slowly fading out of view now that Helios has begun his ascent. The water looks gorgeous as it reflects the streaks of faint violet and pinks painting the sky with the first signs of dawn.

Michael turns towards Annabeth, a smirk playing at his lips. ❝You up for a little friendly competition, Chase? Bet I could reach the shore before you. How 'bout a race?❞

Jerome Backstory

Circe ranks as one of the greatest witches of mythology. A beautiful enchantress . Circe, in Greek legend, a sorceress, the daughter of Helios, the sun god, and of the ocean nymph Perse. She was able by means of drugs and incantations to change humans into wolves, lions, and swine. The Greek hero Odysseus visited her island, Aeaea, with his companions, whom she changed into swine.

The daughter of Helios and Perse, Circe was a powerful enchantress versatile in the arts of herbs and potions and capable of turning human beings into animals. She did just that to Odysseus’ sailors when they reached her dwelling place, the secluded island of Aeaea. Odysseus, however, managed to trick her with the help of Hermes and, instead of becoming an animal, he became her lover for a year. The couple had three children, one of whom, Telegonus, eventually killed Odysseus.

Family

Circe was the daughter of Perse, one of the Oceanids, and Helios, the Titan sun god. As such, she was part of a family of formidable sorceresses. Pasiphae, who supposedly charmed both Minos and Procris, was her sister, and the even more notorious enchantress Medea was her niece, since she was the daughter of Circe’s brother Aeetes, the guardian of the Golden Fleece. Circe had another brother, Perses, who was slain by Medea after he had deposed her father Aeetes from the throne of Colchis.

Reaching Circe’s Island

Disheartened and dispirited from their horrendous encounter with the man-eating Laestrygonians – after which they had been left with only one out of their twelve ships – Odysseus and his remaining men land on Aeaea, Circe’s island.

At first glance, it seems to them like a desolate island, since the only visible sign of life is a column of smoke rising from somewhere deep in the woods. Naturally, Odysseus sends his men to investigate, putting his brother-in-law Eurylochus in charge of the scouting party.

The Transformation of Odysseus’ Men

After some time, the men reach Circe’s house and are surprised to find many fearsome beasts – mostly lions and wolves – slouching around and acting as domesticated as the tamest pets imaginable. From the inside, they hear a woman’s voice: it’s Circe singing melodiously.

Eurylochus suspects danger, so he chooses to stay outside as Circe comes out of her house and welcomes the rest of the scouting party indoors. Odysseus’ men are treated with some fine-flavored wine they gulp down in a second with the utmost pleasure. However, once they do that, Circe makes a quick move with her wand and, suddenly, all of Odysseus’ men are transformed into pigs. They still have their human brains, so they start grunting and weeping as Circe puts them into her pigsty.

Odysseus Tricks Circe

Eurylochus runs back to Odysseus and tells him the whole story and Odysseus decides to confront Circe. Fortunately, on his way to Circe’s house, he is met by Hermes, who gives him a magical black-rooted white-flowered plant called moly which, the divine messenger says, will make Odysseus immune to Circe’s spells.

As indicated by Hermes, Circe’s wine has no effect on the cunning Greek hero and so, after the enchantress pulls out her wand, Odysseus responds by pulling out his sword. He makes Circe swear that she won’t hurt him and forces her to restore the original form of all his sailors. Circe does precisely that and, furthermore, taken aback by his bravery, offers Odysseus her sincere love and unconditional devotion.

Odysseus accepts them, and, as a result, his men stay in Aeaea for almost a year, after which Odysseus becomes restless to go back to Ithaca and once again see his mortal wife, Penelope.

Odysseus’ and Circe’s Offspring

If we are to believe Hesiod’s genealogies, however, we must deduce that Odysseus returned to Aeaea once or twice more after this, or at least that he stayed there for a little longer than a year. Since Circe – says Hesiod – bore him no less than three children: Agrius, Latinus, and Telegonus. The last and youngest one of the three ended up killing Odysseus by mistake using a poisoned spear given to him by his mother.

Circe in Other Myths

Circe plays a smaller part in few other myths: she purifies Jason and Medea from a murder, and she transforms PIcus and Scylla into a woodpecker and monster respectively.

Jason and Medea

Circe shows up in the second most famous Ancient Greek story of sea adventures, the voyage of the Argonauts. According to Apollonius, after Jason and Medea treacherously and brutally kill the Colchian prince Absyrtus, it is Circe who purifies them from the sin, though she also chases them away from her island once she learns the full gravity of their transgression.

Circe, a Vengeful Lover

Before falling for Odysseus, Circe felt an attraction to at least three other men, the first one a mortal, and the second two a god.

The mortal was Picus, who was too faithful to his wife Canens for his own sake: after fiercely rejecting Circe’s advances, Picus was turned into a woodpecker. Unable to fight through the unbearable sorrow, six days later, Canens threw herself into the river Tiber.

Another time, the sea-god Glaucus asked Circe for a potion which would make the beautiful nymph Scylla fall in love with him. Circe, however, loved Glaucus for herself, so, when he scorned her, she gave him a potion which turned Scylla into the hideous sailor-preying monster Odysseus and his crew had to evade soon after leaving Circe’s island. The third was the God Odin. Odin was known for taking more than one female. Though he loved his mate, Odin had an affair with Circe keeping her happy so nothing bad fell on him.

Who was Circe?

The daughter of Helios and Perse, Circe was a powerful enchantress versatile in the arts of herbs and potions and capable of turning human beings into animals. She did just that to Odysseus’ sailors when they reached her dwelling place, the secluded island of Aeaea.

Where did Circe live?

Circe's home was Aeaea.

Who were the parents of Circe?

The parent of Circe was Helios.

Who were brothers and sisters of Circe?

Circe had 3 siblings: Pasiphae, Aeetes and Perses.

How many children did Circe have?

Circe had 4 children: Agrius, Latinus, Telegonus and Jerome.

Father: Odin

Odin (/ˈoʊdɪn/;[1] from Old Norse: Óðinn, IPA: [ˈoːðinː]) is a widely revered god in Germanic mythology. Norse mythology, the source of most surviving information about him, associates Odin with wisdom, healing, death, royalty, the gallows, knowledge, war, battle, victory, sorcery, poetry, frenzy, and the runic alphabet, and projects him as the husband of the goddess Frigg. In wider Germanic mythology and paganism, the god was known in Old English and Old Saxon as Wōden, in Old Dutch as Wuodan, and in Old High German as Wuotan, all ultimately stemming from the Proto-Germanic theonym *Wōđanaz, meaning 'lord of frenzy', or 'leader of the possessed'.

Odin appears as a prominent god throughout the recorded history of Northern Europe, from the Roman occupation of regions of Germania (from c.  2 BCE) through movement of peoples during the Migration Period (4th to 6th centuries CE) and the Viking Age (8th to 11th centuries CE). In the modern period the rural folklore of Germanic Europe continued to acknowledge Odin. References to him appear in place names throughout regions historically inhabited by the ancient Germanic peoples, and the day of the week Wednesday bears his name in many Germanic languages, including in English.

In Old English texts, Odin holds a particular place as a euhemerized ancestral figure among royalty, and he is frequently referred to as a founding figure among various other Germanic peoples, such as the Langobards. Forms of his name appear frequently throughout the Germanic record, though narratives regarding Odin are mainly found in Old Norse works recorded in Iceland, primarily around the 13th century. These texts make up the bulk of modern understanding of Norse mythology.

Old Norse texts portray Odin as one-eyed and long-bearded, frequently wielding a spear named Gungnir and wearing a cloak and a broad hat. He is often accompanied by his animal companions and familiars—the wolves Geri and Freki and the ravens Huginn and Muninn, who bring him information from all over Midgard—and rides the flying, eight-legged steed Sleipnir across the sky and into the underworld. Odin is the son of Bestla and Borr and has two brothers, Vili and Vé. Odin is attested as having many sons, most famously the gods Thor (with Jörð) and Baldr (with Frigg), and is known by hundreds of names. In these texts he frequently seeks greater knowledge, at times in disguise (most famously by obtaining the Mead of Poetry), makes wagers with his wife Frigg over the outcome of exploits, and takes part both in the creation of the world by way of slaying the primordial being Ymir and in giving the gift of life to the first two humans Ask and Embla. Odin has a particular association with Yule, and he provides mankind with knowledge of both the runes and poetry, giving Odin aspects of the culture hero.

Odin is a frequent subject of interest in Germanic studies, and scholars have advanced numerous theories regarding his development. Some of these focus on Odin's particular relation to other figures; for example, the fact that Freyja's husband Óðr appears to be something of an etymological doublet of the god, whereas Odin's wife Frigg is in many ways similar to Freyja, and that Odin has a particular relation to the figure of Loki. Other approaches focus on Odin's place in the historical record, a frequent question being whether the figure of Odin derives from Proto-Indo-European mythology, or whether he developed later in Germanic society. In the modern period the figure of Odin has inspired numerous works of poetry, music, and other cultural expressions. He is venerated in most forms of the new religious movement Heathenry, together with other gods venerated by the ancient Germani Odin, also called Wodan, Woden, or Wotan, one of the principal gods in Norse mythology. His exact nature and role, however, are difficult to determine because of the complex picture of him given by the wealth of archaeological and literary sources. The Roman historian Tacitus stated that the Teutons worshiped Mercury; and because dies Mercurii (“Mercury’s day”) was identified with Wednesday (“Woden’s day”), there is little doubt that the god Woden (the earlier form of Odin) was meant. Though Woden was worshiped preeminently, there is not sufficient evidence of his cult to show whether it was practiced by all the Teutonic tribes or to enable conclusions to be drawn about the nature of the god. Later literary sources, however, indicate that at the end of the pre-Christian period Odin was the principal god in Scandinavia.

From earliest times Odin was a war god, and he appeared in heroic literature as the protector of heroes; fallen warriors joined him in Valhalla. The wolf and the raven were dedicated to him. His magical horse, Sleipnir, had eight legs, teeth inscribed with runes, and the ability to gallop through the air and over the sea. Odin was the great magician among the gods and was associated with runes. He was also the god of poets. In outward appearance he was a tall, old man, with flowing beard and only one eye (the other he gave in exchange for wisdom). He was usually depicted wearing a cloak and a wide-brimmed hat and carrying a spear.

JEROME

As everyone knows, what Circe wanted, Circe got. When she set her sights on The father of Gods, Odin nothing would stop her. Odin, the God seen a beautiful God who could help him win his battles with her potions. Little did he know she would trick him, and keep him at her island for months while the plan all along was to impregnate her with a son. One she would cherish above all. He would be a brother to Thor. Only his powers would be that of not onky strength, he was a sorcerer as well. Jerome is out going, the life of the party. He has many abilities and ones he is still finding he has. He isn't like Father, or his Mother and is actually a nice guy with a huge heart. Yiu fuck with what's his, or family and he will make you pay.

 

[heliosrisingheroesimagines]

Would you be willing to do the Venus Signs for the Yellow West too? I loved reading the previous headcanons so much! - from a fellow astrology geek 💖💫

(Me not doing this for the groups with my top 2 fave characters..... for shame

For Junior's I imagined him a little older and little more mature, when he'd be more invested in romance than as a baby like he is in canon rn lmao)

WEST SECTOR VENUS SIGNS

Dino Albani:

Pisces Venus. Dino has always been a highly intuitive person, not to mention emotionally intelligent, so it’s only natural that the connection you felt with him was almost instantaneous. He’s a partner who wants to have fun, finding creative ways to bond and experience life together. You’ll never experience a love more unconditional than the one Dino displayed for you, though his Aries sun makes him rather direct so don’t think he’ll allow you to run from any problems you might have.

Faith Beams:

Aries Venus. Faith is someone who needs that excitement, that thrill, a real challenge since people throw themselves at him with reckless abandon. He wants a person who can keep him on his toes but isn’t annoying about it, still displaying an interest but making it known they won’t let him give them anything less than the world. He naturally takes the lead but it always sparked his interest when you decided to take the reins, trusting you not to lead you both to your demise.

Keith Max:

Scorpio Venus. On the surface, Keith doesn’t seem to fulfill the ‘Scorpio Venus’ stereotype of ‘obsessive’ or pro-active but he’s a person who loves deeply. He wants to know you intimately and that includes knowing the negative parts of you, the ones you’d be embarrassed or horrified for others to see. His vices are on display for all to see, which he hated, but it didn’t quite feel right if he didn’t know what your weaknesses were too. Ultimately, he wanted to know and love the real you, which meant having to dig a little deeper as frustrating as those conversations may be.

Leonard Wright Jr:

Taurus Venus. Ever the hard worker, Junior is motivated to work twice as hard to provide you a life that you deserve. Loyalty was a serious thing to him, and there’s no one else that would catch his eye after he determined you were the one for him. He doesn’t get people who cheat or those who have a partner yet still flirt with others, because he felt no inclination from the moment he set his heart on you. You find that he’s a true romantic, always trying his hardest to set up nice dates for you to be alone together (and he even wrote a song for you once, but he’s too embarrassed to bring that up later in your relationship).

EAST SECTOR VENUS SIGNS

Asch Albright:

Leo Venus. Asch is a man whose lived in luxury his entire life, so it’s only natural he wants to give his partner the same life he had. He will not let you accept anything less than extravagant and he will complain if you try to make him tone it down, wondering if you just don't know what it's like to be loved by someone like him. He liked when you looked good together and would be even happier if you were considered a power couple, thinking the name fit you both perfectly.

Billy Wise:

Gemini Venus. You’re in for a ride with Billy, if you couldn’t tell from what you know of his personality already, but you’ll never have a dull time. He can run hot and cold but not because his feelings for you fluctuate, but because committing wholeheartedly to a person makes him nervous. Giving your heart away is a big deal, and making friends was far different than falling in love, though the pain of losing that might be equal in his mind. You’ll have to earn his friendship first and even then it might take time, but Billy’s constant flirting and allowing you to get closer to him than he’s ever let someone get before.  

Gray Reverse:

Cancer Venus. Gray needs some security and affirmations, even with his confident (very slowly) building up; he needs to know he’s not a burden on you, that his faults aren’t deal-breakers, and that you’ll love him despite the great amount of patience it requires to be with him. He’s naturally thoughtful and intuitive, knowing what you need before you even know, and there’s a part of you that wanted to tease him on what an expert boyfriend he was. He truly loves you unconditionally, to the point it’s almost worship, which can throw others off but you know better than to take advantage of your loving boyfriend.

Jay Kidman:

Sagittarius Venus. It goes without saying that Jay was a difficult man to pin down, something that might be odd for a man who had a wife at one point, but he admitted to being swept up in the adventure of it all when he was young. He tries to take romance a little more seriously now which is why he doesn’t ‘commit’ to long-term arrangements often, a man who fully enjoyed his singleness as he focused on being a hero. He’s someone who needs the space to be who he is but once you show you not only support him but seek out a life and adventure of your own, he’s more than happy to change what could’ve been a temporary connection into something more permanent.

Helios Rising Heroes - Oscar Bale Character Story - Part 1

Translation of Oscar Bale First Character Story

Oscar : ...Oh? Brad-sama?

Thank you for your hard work today. You’re back already, I thought you wouldn’t be until late at night today, too.

Brad : I simply wrapped up the meeting with the higher-ups. The matter we were talking about was going anywhere, so there’s nothing I can do right now.

Oscar : Is that so? Then, please spend your time relaxing, it’s a day off after all.

Brad : Yeah. Don’t mind me,  just continue taking care of your pet.

Oscar : Ah… Even if you say “taking care”, I’m just feeding him .

I wonder if he still hasn’t gotten used to the new environment, when I try touching him his spines point up.  As I suspected, hedgehogs are a hurdle...

Brad : You found him, so take responsibility and raise him.

Well then, I’ll go take a shower for the time being.

Oscar : Yes, sir!

(…… Isn’t this the first time Brad-sama is properly taking a day off?

He does not only carry out his duties as a mentor, but as a leader and a hero, too, so he has no time to rest.

Even though I served the Beams family for a long time, there is a limit to what I can do. Brad-sama would tell me not to poke my nose into his stuff.)

I want to become useful to Brad-sama, more than just taking care of the hedgehog and the rookies.

… Ohh. Did that offend you, Alexander? You’re suddenly throwing tantrums?

Okay. I take it back, so please open your heart a bit more.

Brad : Oscar. What’s that thing stuck to the refrigerator?

Oscar : That thing…? Aah, you mean the paper with “Don’t put shiitake in here!” written on it?

It looks like it was Akira’s doing. He seems to hate shiitake for some reason…

Yesterday when we were training, he was talking with plenty of confidence about issuing a shiitake ban or something.

Brad : ……

Oscar : I can take that off if it annoys you, and make sure the same thing won’t happen again.

Brad : How will you control that?

Oscar : That’s… I’ll warn him using my strength...

Brad : It’s unnecessary.

Oscar : Yes, sir! I’ll just leave that note for now, then.

Ah… speaking of refrigerators…  It seems that Akira ate the lobster that I’ve bought and kept in reserve.

Brad : .. The lobster that disappeared when we were thinking of eating it?

Oscar : Yes. It seems he cooked and ate it without permission on the day he joined.

It was before I taught him about HELIOS detailed system, so I just let that go. If he does that again next time, I’ll scold him without mercy…

Brad : It’s important to set conditions and make them comply. Looking out for the rookies is up to you. Just do whatever you see fit.

Oscar : Yes, thank you very much.

Brad : It seems you started to open up a little.

Oscar : You mean, me and the rookies…?

Brad : Yes, that’s right. From what I see as a mentor, you don’t have much experience as a hero. This is your first time instructing your juniors, isn’t it? I worried about it a little, but I’m relieved that there are no remarkably major problems.

Oscar : Eh… Have I worried you, Brad-sama?

I’m taking care of the rookies to lessen your burden, or perhaps I should say so that you won’t have to worry about unnecessary things and yet…  I’m sorry, Brad-sama.

Brad : Don’t apologize. You aren’t a burden at all. It’s because I trust you.

You’ve served the Beams family for about 8 years... You’ve grown so much, you with that glint in your eyes like a wolf in the wild.

Oscar : Please don’t flatter me that much... I was simply desperate, and poorly educated.

But, if  you think so, I’m happy. Well, when I think about that time it’s certainly kind of nostalgic.

Akira and Will right now...  and Keith-san, when I look at them it reminds me of that... I feel a bit jealous of them.

Brad : Jealous? What do you mean?

Oscar : I can’t say that clearly… I’m jealous that they are being scolded by you, Brad-sama?

Brad : ……

Oscar : Ah.. That’s… That just now... I didn’t mean it in a weird way…

Brad : I understand. I’m certainly not scolding you as much right now, after all.

But if that weren’t the case, I wouldn’t be able to let you be my aide... And Keith is out of the question… I don’t want to even imagine that.

Oscar : I’m honored to hear you say that.

That aside, Brad-sama, what do you want to do today?

Brad : Right. I thought I’d finish my chores, but spending an occasional day off like that feels bland...  

I suddenly want to work up a sweat. I’m going to the training room.

Oscar : Eh… but, haven’t you just showered?

Brad : If I sweat I’ll just wash up again. I’m going to spar, so join me, Oscar.

Oscar : …! Yes, sir! Gladly!

Brad : Give it all you got.

Oscar : Please stop joking. I will win today, Brad-sama.

MLQC SONG LIST

Does that make sense? Basically, songs I hear that I think fit different characters.

I’m a chronic over-explainer so, some of them fit because of the lyrics. Some of them fit more for the tone or the general feel it inspires, ya know?

There will probably be regular updates to this. 

[Gavin]

One Thing Right - Marshmello w/Kane Brown (MC, obvs)

T-Shirt - Thomas Rhett (morning aaafteeeerrr)

Just Like Fire - Pink

Gone, Gone, Gone - Phillip Phillips

Crush - David Archuleta 

South Of The Border - Ed Sheeran/Camila Cabello w/Cardi B (that Mediterranean Date, y’all)

I’ll Be - Edwin McCain (this one was a little hard because I feel like it could fit all the guys, but “I’ll be better when I’m older” is so uniquely Gavin)

[Shaw]

Accidentally In Love - Counting Crows

Every Storm (Runs Out of Rain) - Gary Allan

When Your Heart Stops Beating - +44

[Kiro]

10000 Hours - Dan + Shay, Justin Bieber (I’ve seen other people use this song to describe Kiro and they’re all right)

Drag Me Down - One Direction

Tell Me You Love Me - Demi Lovato (Kiro can’t be perfect all the time, and at those times when he feels low he needs reassurance)

Hanging By The Moment - Lifehouse

Slide - Goo Goo Dolls

Geronimo - Sheppard

Intentions - Justin Bieber feat. Quavo

Like You Love Me - Tauren Wells

Fire And Dynamite - Drew Holcomb and the Neighbors

[Helios]

When Legends Rise - Godsmack (y’all have seen that bloodied Helios karma yeah?)

Little Talks - Of Monsters and Men

I’m With You - Avril Lavigne (MC & Helios, makes me think of that bone-deep sadness of finding someone you don’t know anymore)

Seven Nation Army - The White Stripes

The Phoenix - Fall Out Boy (Kiro into Helios: “I’m gonna change you like a remix, then I’ll raise you like a phoenix”)

[Victor]

Love Someone - Lukas Graham

Wherever You Will Go - The Calling

Right Here Waiting - Richard Marx (that Victor-going-to-the-future period hurts man)

Boulevard Of Broken Dreams - Green Day (in-the-future Vic again)

Graveyard - Halsey (MC & Victor)

You And Me - Lifehouse (the man loves hard alright)

Adore You - Harry Styles (okay but imagine Victor taking MC to some private beach destination and then they never leave the bungalow)

Never Let You Down - The Verve Pipe

Bubbly - Colbie Caillat (he's soft for MC okay??)

Nobody But You - Blake Shelton/Gwen Stefani

[Lucien]

Anti-Hero - Sekai No Owari

Memories - Maroon 5 (”there’s a time that I remember when I did not know no pain, now my heart feel like December when somebody say your name”)

Iris - Goo Goo Dolls (don’t cry...don’t cry...)

I’m Still Here - Goo Goo Dolls (cries really, really hard)

Cradles - Sub Urban (general creep and melancholy + “honesty is a one way gate to hell, I wanna taste consumption”)

Dissolve - Absofacto

Alligator - Of Monsters and Men

Joker And The Thief - Wolfmother 

Halo - Beyonce

Bad Blood - Taylor Swift

[MC]

Higher Love - Whitney Houston, Kygo remix

Dance Monkey - TONES and I (she always seems to be stuck on someone else’s stage)

Fight Song - Rachel Platten 

Brave - Sara Bareilles

Invisible Touch - Genesis (how does she manage to get all these high profile guys wound around her little finger??)

Absolutely - Nine Days

How Far We've Come - Matchbox Twenty

[dajaregambler]

HeliosR - Sing in the darkness - Chapter 1 - Part 20

Translation of Sing in the darkness from ‘Helios Rising Heroes’, a new side arc alongside the current main story arc Like the dawning light.

Sage: This is, the Lost Garden….?

Sage: I’ve always heard the rumors, but it’s the first time I’m here…

Nico: Got nothing to come here for unless you have a good reason to.

Sage: Have you been here before, Nico?

Nico: ….I wonder, how many times was it

Sage: Did you have a good reason to?

Nico: ….Don’t know if it counts as one.

Nico: I’ll tell you another time. Now, we focus on Licht

Sage: Right…..

Nico: Wonder why they were after him.

Sage: Yeah…. I can’t wrap my head around it either.

Sage: Eclipse goes after substance. Does that mean Licht-kun is somehow related to that?

Nico: I verified with the measuring equipment when we were together, but it didn’t had any special reaction. It’s hard to imagine he’d be carrying anything.

Sage: Then, maybe something like knowing an important secret about substance…

Nico: Maybe it’s more simple, such as being targeted for a criminal connection. 

Sage: Criminal!?

Nico: Like human trafficking, or human experimentation?

Nico: It's a fact that a massive amount of people, who were experimented on by Eclipse, were discovered…

Sage: Human trafficking… human experimentation… 

Sage: Is that what Licht-kun’s got himself into…?

Nico: Maybe, is what I’m saying

Nico: The possibility ought to be considerably low. It’s okay, don’t overthink it.

Sage: Ngh…….

Sage: Gotta keep it together… I have to search for Licht-kun instead of sitting around imagining horrible things. 

Sage: I say that, but where and how do I---

Nico: Found him

Sage: Eh?

Nico: That Eclipse…

Sage: !! Licht-kun

Nico: After him before we lost sight of them again.

Sage: Yeah…!

“ah yes, the lively city of blue north”

the voice said, after a relieved sigh. leaving the headquarters behind, you walked with the rookie that was often described as ‘obnoxious’. though you wouldve described him like more of a 'lighthearted bastard’. the night breeze hit you both which made you slightly regret going for a walk with the giant. after all, he was the one who invited you.

you were sitting at your desk, tired from doing some work at the office. stretching your arms above your head, you realised everyone else had gone home - except for you and him. he looked a little beaten up from the combat that afternoon; a huge bruise covered his left bicep. it looked like it would sting but the way he kept pushing the area made it seem harmless. 

your giggle made the other get up and walk over. you were surprised at this sudden action, yet you didn’t expect much of it. maybe, a little 'goodbye’ or 'see you’ as it seemed like he was about to head back home but instead he shot a sweet smile. 

“want to go for a walk?” he asked, spontaneously. 

“what?”

“you heard me, just answer yes or no”

you were blown off by his statement so you needed a little time to process what was happening. “but i have a huge amount of work.”

“and? that doesn’t mean you can’t relax for an hour or two. come on, ill walk you back here once were done,” he persuaded in a genuine tone. you remembered what your mentor said, 'just do it, he won’t stop bothering you unless you go along’

thus, there you were, walking around with him. the sound of cars moving around and music blasting from the karaoke clubs made the journey less awkward. not to mention the amazing blue lights that made the stars seem like meaningless polka dots. you couldn’t believe what you were witnessing as you rarely go out this late, especially on a work night. imagine what you would’ve missed if you had just stayed in doing boring paperwork. 

“don’t you love the bustling city?” he asked, after some time of walking in meaningless directions. the pacing of yours and his feet slowed down upon entering the huge evergreen park that was located in the middle of it all.

“yea but i prefer something a little more calmer,” you told him. “it’s one in the morning and everyone’s still out, probably more energized than ever”

he let out a small laugh - it sounded like warm matcha tea. you grinned at the sight even though you were tired. you both walked in silence once again as the city provided some background tracks. the exit of the pathway was still a long way to go and with that, you decide to ask another question. 

you cleared your throat before saying anything. “do you often take walks like this?”

he placed his hands in the pockets of his uniform vest before answering. “no.” his answer, short and enough for your understanding. yet, you carried on, asking a secondary question.

“then why did you go for one tonight?”

“just felt like it,” his answer had a shortage of words once again, which just seemed like a repeating matter at this point. “plus, you looked like you needed one.”

his response made you stop in your tracks right before the gateway out. he stopped, too, just a few paces after your place. you both had never talked to each other before, in fact, that night was the first time you both had spoken proper sentences outside of meetings. most of the time it was just a bunch of hi’s and hello’s and suddenly he wants to care for you? 

“want to know a secret?” he asked, his voice now more gentle than before. he turned around to face you before you answered with a yes. 

“i know i won’t ever be better than the others but i still try my best. they try to put me down too, but that���s okay,” he said in a melancholic tone and ending it with a chocolate flavoured smile. you were surprised at how well he said that without stuttering or even breaking into tears. that smile, was genuine too. no sort of pain could be detected in that moment. 

“why did you tell me this?” you abruptly asked the hero. the leaves on the trees began to sway as wind danced in the moonlight. a leaf fell on your head but you stood your ground. not wanting to move before he answered your simple question with more than one word. 

“because we’re strangers. aren’t we?” he said in a relaxed tone, and for some reason that pissed you off.

“well, then isn’t it better to tell a close friend rather than a stranger you had just begin talking to?" 

"you say that and yet you trust going on a night walk with me. hypocrisy at its finest.” he was right. this made you want to slap him, but you didn’t. instead, he was the one who went back to you. you closed your eyes, nervous on what he would do to you. you felt his steps coming to a halt before your bodies could touch. you opened your eyes to find him brushing off the leaf earlier. you felt heat creeping onto your cheeks. being flustered and embarrassed wasn’t ever a good combination but why did it feel so.. tingly? like the feeling of your skin brushing against a rough surface. you were getting into something,, but you didn’t know what it was.

the walk back to the main headquarters was quiet too but instead of awkwardness, it felt comfortable as if you both were able to relate to each other. but that was impossible, considering you just started talking today…right? connections build over time,, but in this situation it seemed like time was the hare. your steps felt heavy approaching the entrance, as if your heart never wanted to leave. 

you turned to face him as you felt his gaze from the sidewalk. your smile, soft with a hint of cloud fluff. you both stood there for a while, knowing that neither would make the move to leave. the eye contact between you both felt intoxicating, the good kind. he knew it, too. well, of course he did, he’s a psycho. that bastard rushed up to you, and stood in front of you, close. 

“may i kiss you?” he asked. you nodded, agreeing to whatever he was saying. you were exhausted from the walking and all the fast heart beating he caused. yet, you were still here as he placed his lips on yours.

they were cheerful - like sun rays on a beach day or laughter of children at a playground. his hands snaked around your waist, gripping your form firmly. this felt so wrong. kissing a rookie? your mentor was going to kill you. but was it worth it? yes. fuck, you wanted to kiss him forever but alas every moment has to end. he parted with your lips as a satisfying smile appeared on his face.

you finally snapped back to reality and took your arms off his neck, but his hands were still on your waist. 

“let’s keep this between strangers,” he said before giving a small peck your lips. what the heck? was this a joke? you were confused as to what was going on once again. he filled your mind with questions not even he could answer. you wanted him to stay the night, to make him fall for you like you gradually did for him. you knew he wasn’t a player, as far as you knew, he only had one relationship and they broke it off after a year.

“do you go around kissing other people like that?” you asked, intertwining your fingers with his. 

“sometimes.”

“you’re so messed up.”

“but you were the first one who i genuinely wanted to kiss,” he answered. there he goes again, with the meaningless sentences that could end his life in a second. he was reckless and oh so stupid but god, was he charming. he finally pulled his hand away from yours, signalling it was time to say goodbye. 

“see you never, stranger,” he exclaimed as he reached the sidewalk. he waved goodbye and so did you. as you sat back down on your desk, all that you could think about was him and only him. kissing a stranger was an experience you always wanted to have, yet you were there half regretting it. you kept feeling your lips after that, wanting to light the other matches in that matchbox of emotions. you wanted so much more but nothing else ever happened between you both. 

everything returned as to what had happened before, just greetings and meetings. but this time, butterflies appeared in your stomach whenever you locked eyes with him. it was frustrating to you but he seemed relaxed as ever. stolen glances would make you hope for another good spark, but alas there were none.  after all, you did fall in love with a stranger.
