The Reset Recap

So after the copious amounts of weddings and hijinx we ended up in a petpocalypse where everyone became cats

Some being dogs too

(Testtube became a dog cat hybrid bc I’m stupid)

Anyways basically all hell broke loose (imma be honest the details are a bit jumbled bc I was answering those quickly while on vacation LOL)

YinYang, Candle, silver, Testtube, Fan, R!LB all got turned into pets

R!TT blasted them all and killed them (+R!Fan)

Meanwhile a person in the asks goes to Cobs and brings the chaos to his attention

The problem is, he was already thinking about finding a way to stop the TLS squad from learning more and honestly stop all this madness because he needed to get control back

So he presses a button and it shuts down everyone, preparing them to be reset

Now is where it gets a little interesting

The reboots are there when everyone suddenly drops (also Cabby got turned into a dog after secluding herself from the group bc R!Bots presence was making her uncomfortable in a way)

They suddenly hear the TV turn on to see Fan IN the TV

But it isn’t just TLS Fan

He’s made of binary code!

This is Binary Fan

He’s been the one everyone has been talking to since Monday

This is his first physical appearance since The cho̶ice

Right now you can tell he’s talking through the text being red

His character tag is “ii ???” So every post he’s in will have it

Binary Fan is revealed to have memories of everything

As Bot said “Hes.. actually Fan. The Fan I knew”

Fun fact Binary Fan has been a prevalent character since the beginning!

I can’t explain too much about him without getting into spoilers

But he’s a little complicated

As of now we don’t know a lot about him

Him and the remaining 4 reboots decide to split

R!suitcase and R!Testtube go to the room with computer and TV (found by TLS Fan a while ago) to see if the files and videos had anything

Binary Fan and Bot got some alone time to chat (it is shown in this discussion he still can’t say inanimate insanity or Mephone 4)

And Paintbrush is hiding TLS TT theory board and multiversal travel device

While this is happening, the people who are dead (TLS Paintbrush a co.) found themself glitching into a Meeple computer another universe Taco stole as Shimejis!

They talk with that Taco for a while

Until suddenly, while they were speaking with balloon another Melife icon glitches into existence.. (we’ve seen this happen before in the 8 15 13 5 scene but nothing has been done about it)

Until Ballon clicks it

After a second try a glitchy Fan gets spawned briefly until glitching out

We see this directly affect Binary Fan back with Bot as he starts glitching

As the reset happens we see Light bulb, Testtube and Cabby get a dream sequence of them getting reset

Followed by them disappearing after

Currently R!TT found a cabinet that holds this white ball of energy

The reset is almost complete

Q&A

HOW did cobs get their memory to erase?

That is a question I can’t really answer yet because it would be a spoiler

Is there a way to recover the lost memories?

As of now all we know is that there’s this computer/tv room that holds all the memories of all the Meeple workers. Dating as far back to when they were created by Mephone 4. But it has been shown that they can get it by the memory being triggered

How far back ago WAS lightbulb separated from painty?

It was recently implied that it has been 2-3 years since they joined Meeple

Why did you choose cabby as one of the main four

That’s a really good question

So since the beginning, I for SURE wanted the bright lights; Lightbulb Testtube and Fan

But having three felt off to me

That, and I knew Testtube and Fan would gravitate towards each other

So I wanted a fourth to make it even and give another dynamic to the group

And I instantly thought of Cabby

Those four would make a powerful group

Testtube- the genius

Fan- the researcher

Lightbulb- the wild card

Cabby- the one who holds all the information

So I believe if anyone can free them from Meeple. It’d be those 4

why did they accept the job? (did they have a choice?)

They didn’t have a choice :)

They actually didn’t know they had a choice until people told them otherwise

For them they always worked at Meeple-

The Party Of A Lifetime

Summary- Feyd Rautha throws one of his many parties on Geidi Prime and invites literally everyone. Little did he know, he would meet the Harley Quinn, who was accompanied by the Joker. After the Joker does something and gets kicked out, what happens when Harley is left alone with Feyd?

Movies- Dune: Part Two/2016 Suicide Squad

Pairing- Feyd Rautha Harkonnen/Harleen Quinzel (Harley Quinn)

Warnings- Feyd Rautha and Harley Quinn, smut, Idk here, Feyd basically stealing Harley from Joker because he wants to and he can 😂

Feyd Rautha loved his parties on Geidi Prime. He lived for them, outside of his usual hobby of committing massacres and plotting on killing the Fremen. This particular day, Feyd had decided to invite everybody and anyone to this one party. He learned his lesson though.

One person made the mistake of trying to take over the “vibe” and make things in his words.. interesting. That was the Joker, who brought his partner Harley Quinn along. Harley was a vision for Feyd’s sore eyes, as for Joker, Feyd found his attempts to judge the vibe of his party, obnoxious and annoying, and a slight jab at his ego.

“Too much glitter and gold, not enough chaos and anarchy.” Said Joker, as he decided to prank the various guests in attendance with various pranks, much to Feyd’s dismay, Joker even stuffed balloons on the drink fridge, a very annoyed Feyd sent his guards to pop the balloons.

As Joker continued to laugh manically and prank the various guests, Feyd felt himself become impatient, and very annoyed, feeling a slight bruise to his ego by feeling so upstaged, by someone he found obnoxious and annoying.

Feyd nodded to his guards, his annoyance evident in his expression and his tone when he said, “Guards. I want the obnoxious clown out of my party. The energy is now ruined.” He said with a cold and annoyed tone, trying to make the most of his party.

“Yes my lord Na-Baron.” The guards said in unison.

The guards went to Joker, as he put up a fight and tried to cause more chaos, his maniacal laughter ringing in the background, as Joker continued to resist, Feyd held a cold and composed expression.

He looked down at the Joker with a look of smug satisfaction and said, “I've had enough of your disruptions, clown, This is my party, and I won't have you ruining it. Get out, or I'll make sure you regret it."

The Joker laughed maniacally as he struggled against the guards.

“Oh, come on, big shot! Can't handle a little chaos at your fancy shindig? Is your ego that fragile?" He said as he laughed manically, Feyd’s annoyance growing in that moment.

“If I had it my way, you’d be dead.” Feyd said coldly, trying to keep himself composed for the sake of his party, though he couldn’t resist the urge for bloodshed.

The Joker, still laughing, feigned defeat.

“Fine, fine. You guys win," he said, mocking surrender.

The guards then forced him out of the party. But the Joker wouldn't go quietly, trying to get in one last quip and even attempted to throw a punch at Feyd before being dragged out, without success.

Harley watched the exchange between Feyd and Joker. As the Joker got drug out, she gave a dramatic sigh and shook her head.

“Oh, Puddin, why do you always have to go and do somethin' stupid?" Harley said, her tone a mix of annoyance and resignation.

With the Joker out of his party, Feyd regained his composure and turned his attention back to Harley. He approached her, a sly grin on his face.

“Well, that was...eventful. But now it's just the two of us," he says, smoothly and cunningly.

 Harley looked up at Feyd, a mixture of suspicion and curiosity in her eyes.

“Just the two of us, huh? What makes you think I'm interested in hanging out with you now, after you just kicked out my Puddin?" She said, arching an eyebrow.

Feyd chuckled darkly and leaned closer to her, his voice low.

“Don't be like that, Harley. I simply wanted to keep the party free of distractions. But now that it's just us, we can truly enjoy each other's company, without the clown stealing all the attention."

Harley rolled her eyes, but can't deny a certain intrigue in Feyd's words.

“And what makes you think I want your company? Just cause my Puddin isn't here doesn't mean I'm gonna follow you around like a puppy," she retorts.

Feyd smirked, clearly amused by her feistiness.

“Oh? So you're saying you don't find me fascinating?" He leans in closer, studying her reactions.

“Don't you want to learn more about the man who throws the most extravagant parties in the galaxy? Or are you too busy daydreaming about that clown of yours?"

As he and Harley walked together, Feyd brags about his status.

"You know, Harley, I'm more than just a man with influence. I'm a Na-Baron on my home planet, Geidi Prime, and a proud member of House Harkonnen."

He looks at her with a smug smirk.

“I have power, wealth, and influence. And I can show you a life of luxury like you've never dreamed of...if you're willing to let go of that loser clown.”

Harley listens to Feyd's bragging with a skeptical expression on her face.

“Yeah, yeah, I've heard it all before. Big shot with a big ego. But do you really think I'm gonna give up my Puddin for some fancy title? Not a chance, darlin’," she responded, a hint of sarcasm in her voice.

Feyd chuckles, not deterred by her response.

“Oh come on, Harley. We all know you have a taste for...adventure, excitement. The Joker may be entertaining, but he's also unhinged and unpredictable. With me, you'll have the best of both worlds - a life of glamour and opulence, with just enough danger to keep things interesting."

Harley considers his words for a moment, her eyes narrowing slightly.

“Yeah, maybe you've got a point. A girl like me does get bored easily. But that doesn't mean I'm just gonna follow you blindly, Feydy-boy."

Feyd chuckles again, clearly enjoying the banter.

"Of course not, Harley. I didn't expect you to be so obedient. You're a wild card, and that alone makes you intriguing...in more ways than one."

He gives her a lingering look a moment, his tone getting more suggestive.

Harley notices his suggestive tone and smirks.

“Oh, so now you're checking me out? Can't blame you. I'm quite the sight in this outfit." She replies, striking a pose.

Feyd appreciates the sight, admiring the way the light catches her curves. He moves closer to her.

“You do look incredibly attractive in that outfit. But I have ways of making you look even better," he purrs, his voice low and dripping with suggestion.

Harley raises an eyebrow, intrigued despite herself. 

“Oh, do you now? And what exactly do you have in mind?" She said, her voice holding a teasing edge.

Feyd moves closer still, his voice dropping even lower as he responds.

“I have ideas. Ways to show you a vastly different kind of pleasure, compared to that clown."

As Feyd lead Harley to his private chambers, he can feel the tension building between them. He opens the door and gestures for her to enter.

“After you, Harley. Let me show you a world of pleasure and luxury," he says, his voice smooth and suggestive.

Harley steps into his chamber, her eyes widening slightly at the opulence of the room. Silk-covered walls, an enormous bed draped in luxurious fabrics with blades on the walls, it's clear that no expense has been spared to create the luxurious chambers for a Na-Baron.

Feyd closes the door behind them and approaches Harley, his eyes roaming over her body. He takes a step closer, his hand reaching out to gently touch her waist.

“You like what you see?" he says proudly, his voice husky with desire.

Harley met his gaze, her own eyes darkening with desire as well.

“It's...impressive. I'll admit that," she says, her voice low and seductive.

 Feyd leans in, his lips grazing her ear as he whispers,

"Good. Because I intend to show you even more impressive things."

He grabs her by the waist and pulls her closer, his body pressing against hers.

Harley lets out a soft gasp as Feyd pulls her against him, their bodies flush. His hands trail down her sides, his touch electric against her skin.

He captures her lips in a deep, hungry kiss, his tongue exploring her mouth possessively.

Harley responds eagerly to the kiss, her own hands roaming over his torso, feeling the powerful muscles beneath his clothes. They stumble backwards towards the bed, their bodies never parting as they continue to kiss with an intensity that borders on desperate.

They reach the side of the bed, and Feyd pushes Harley down onto the soft mattress, never breaking the kiss. His hands move down to her thighs, slipping underneath her skimpy dress as he climbs on top of her.

His lips move from her mouth to her neck, kissing and nibbling on the tender flesh. Harley moans softly as he explores her body with his hands and mouth, his touch possessive but also gentle.

"You're so much more than I expected," Feyd murmurs against her skin, his voice rough with desire.

Harley's breath comes in short gasps as Feyd continues to kiss and touch her, igniting a fire of desire within her. She bucks her hips against him, seeking more contact.

"Stop...teasing," she manages to gasp, her voice betraying her own growing need.

Feyd smirks, hearing the urgency in her voice.

"I like seeing you like this. Desperate for me," he teases, but his own need is evident in the way he presses against her.

“But, I suppose it wouldn't hurt to go a little further.."

Feyd's hands move more urgently now, tugging at her dress, seeking to remove the barrier between them.

Harley responds with eagerness, helping him to pull off some of her jewelry, revealing more of her body to him.

"Damn, you are...very attractive," he breathes out, his eyes roving over her form.

Harley chuckles, feeling a surge of power at having this powerful man so entranced by her.

Feyd's hands slide over Harley's exposed skin, his touch leaving trails of heat in its wake. His mouth moves down her body, kissing and nibbling as he goes, until he reaches her thighs.

He looks up at her, a wicked gleam in his eyes.

"I wonder how you taste," he says, his voice a low, sultry rasp.

Harley gives him a sly smile.

"Why don't you find out for yourself? Show me how good you are, big guy."

Feyd smirks at her challenge, more than willing to oblige.

He kisses up her thighs until he reaches his destination, his tongue teasing and exploring, while his fingers continue to caress her with practiced skill.

Harley's breath hitches, her back arching as she feels his talented tongue and fingers working their magic on her. She twists her fingers into the sheets, biting her lip to hold back moans of pleasure.

Feyd smirks at her reactions, increasing the intensity of his ministrations, his desire for her evident in every touch.

"I told you, I have...better ways of making you scream," he purrs, his voice ragged with lust.

Feyd continues to pleasure Harley, his hands and mouth relentless as he stokes the fires of her desire. Her body responds, her hips arching against him as she teeters on the edge of release.

His pace quickens, eager to drive her over the edge.

"Come for me, Harley..." he murmurs, his voice dripping with need.

Harley's breath comes in ragged gasps, her body trembling with the force of her approaching climax.

With a sharp gasp, she comes undone, her body shuddering under Feyd's touch. She cries out, her back arching off the bed as she rides the waves of pleasure.

Feyd leans back, a satisfied smirk on his face as he watches her recover. He moves up the bed, pulling her into his arms, her body still trembling with aftershocks of pleasure.

"See? I told you I could do better than the clown," he said, his voice smug but also holding an edge of genuine satisfaction.

Harley leans into his embrace, her body still thrumming with the afterglow of their encounter. She looks up at him, her eyes still dark with lingering desire.

"Not bad, I have to admit," she replied, a teasing edge in her voice. "But let's not get carried away. Just because you're better at this, doesn't mean you've completely won me over, Feydy-boy."

Feyd chuckles, clearly enjoying the challenge.

“Oh really? You're quite resistant, Harley. I like you more every minute."

His hands slowly start to move over her body again, caressing her skin.

“But I'm not quite finished with you yet."

Feyd's hands continue to rove over her body, drawing her back into a state of arousal.

“As for myself, I've only just begun to enjoy this," he purrs, his voice dripping with desire.

His lips capture hers in a deep, hungry kiss, and he shifts, pressing a hardness against her that makes his need abundantly clear.

Harley responds to the kiss eagerly, her body responding to his touch despite her earlier resistance.

Feyd's hands move to his own clothes, quickly undressing. He then positions himself between her legs, his eyes meeting hers.

“Are you ready for more, Harley? Because I intend to show you the true taste of pleasure tonight."

Despite the growing intensity of his desire, Feyd pauses, waiting for her answer.

"Well, Harley? Are you ready to experience something beyond anything you've felt before?"

Harley studies him for a moment, and then nods, her hesitation replaced by raw, intense desire.

“Yeah...show me," she responded, her voice a sultry whisper.

Feyd leaned down, capturing her lips in a heated kiss as his body presses against hers. The tip of his hardness brushes against her entrance, and he pauses, waiting for some final sign of consent.

Harley's hips shift, seeking more contact, and that is all the invitation Feyd needs.

“Hold on tight, my darling," he murmurs, before slowly pushing into her.

"You feel...so good," Feyd breathes out, his voice hoarse with pleasure.

Harley responds with a soft sound of pleasure, her hips moving against his as she urges him on.

Feyd's hands slide down to grip her hips, holding her steady as he begins to move.

Feyd's movements are slow and deliberate at first, his hips rolling against hers in a steady, rhythmic pace. He's clearly trying to maintain control, but the pleasure etched on his face is telling.

Harley is lost in the sensation, her hips moving to match his, seeking more of his touch, and pushing him deeper into her.

Feyd's breath comes in ragged gasps, his body moving instinctively as he picks up speed. Harley groans in response, her gasps becoming more frantic as she loses herself in the pleasure he is giving her.

He captures her lips in another harsh, hungry kiss, their tongues battling for dominance of the exchange.

They become lost in the frantic dance of pleasure, their bodies moving in perfect sync. Feyd's hands roam over her body, mapping every curve and dip, as he drives deeper into her.

“You're...incredible," he manages to gasp out, his voice a ragged growl.

Harley couldn’t form coherent words anymore, the only sounds coming from her a mixture of gasps and moans. She wrapped her legs around his waist, urging him deeper.

"Harder...harder!" she managed to gasp out, her eyes locked onto his.

Feyd responded with a low growl, increasing his pace, driving into her with a force that borders on vicious.

Harley cried out as her body reaches its peak, the pleasure overwhelming her senses.

Feyd followed shortly after, his own pleasure exploding in a wave of ecstasy, as he spills himself inside her.

They collapsed together, chests heaving with ragged breaths, their bodies slick with sweat.

They lie tangled together for several minutes, both of them recovering from the intense pleasure they've just experienced together.

Feyd regains his composure first, his hands tracing over the curve of her waist.

"That was...certainly far more satisfying than any encounter I've had before," he murmurs, his lips brushing her temple.

Harley shifts, pressing closer to him, her face buried in his neck.

"That...was intense," she breathes out, her voice still trembling with the memory of their passion.

Feyd hums in agreement, his hand brushing over her hair.

"I told you I would show you the true taste of pleasure," he teased, clearly pleased with himself.

Harley laughs, a shaky sound that tells him she's still coming down from the pleasure he's given her.

"Yeah yeah, you were right. But don't let it go to your head." Her hand strokes over his chest, her touch affectionate.

Feyd held her hand, holding it against his heart, feeling the steady thumping of his own heart.

"You've got a way of driving me wild, Harley," he murmurs, his eyes roaming over her, appreciating the flushed, satisfied look on her face.

Harley smirks.

"You're not too bad yourself, Feydy-boy," she replies, her tone lighter now, the tension between them slowly fading.

They fall into a comfortable silence for a moment, the sound of their mingled breaths the only noise in the room.

Finally, Feyd shifts slightly, his hand coming up to cup Harley's cheek.

"So...does that mean you're reconsidering going back to the clown?" He asked, his tone carefully casual.

Harley's expression sobers slightly, as she considers the question.

"I'm...not sure yet," she admits, her voice quiet.

Feyd watches her face, his thumb tracing over her cheek.

"Is there any chance I can change your mind?"

Harley's silent for a moment, her brow furrowing slightly as she thinks.

"...There is a chance," she says, meeting his gaze, her uncertainty clear.

Feyd's hand still cups her cheek, his touch gentle.

"What would it take?"

Harley reaches up, covering his hand with her own, her finger tracing over his knuckles.

"I'm not looking for something casual. If I let this...continue, I want all of you, not just the physical. I want your mind, your heart...your soul, if you feel like giving it to me."

Feyd is silent for a moment, studying her face.

"Do you even realise what you're asking of me?" He asks, his voice quiet.

Harley smiles, her gaze unwavering.

"Yes. I know exactly what I'm asking of you. I'm asking for everything.”

Harley nods, her smile softening slightly.

"Everything, Feyd. I'm not asking for half of your heart, or a fleeting moment of passion. I want all of you. I want to get to know the man behind the Na-Baron, understand your dreams and desires."

Feyd's eyes search her face, looking for any hint of uncertainty, but finding only quiet determination.

He leans forward, his forehead resting against hers.

"You truly are something else, Harley," he murmurs, his words tinged with disbelief and longing.

"Are you...certain this is what you want?"

"More certain than anything I've ever wanted before," she responds softly, her eyes meeting his.

Feyd exhaled, the tension slowly leaving his body.

"Then you have me, Harley. Heart, mind, and soul. All of me is yours."

Harley smiles, a warm, affectionate smile that lights up her face.

"Don't sound so surprised, Feyd. You had to know I wouldn't make it easy for you," she teases, her tone more playful.

"Though I'll admit, I expected a little more resistance from you. I think some part of you wanted this, even before this night..."

Feyd chuckles, clearly amused by her words.

"I suppose...a part of me did want this from the moment I first laid eyes on you. There's something about you, Harley. You're intriguing, unpredictable, and impossible to ignore."

"You're impossible not to think about," he continues, his expression growing more earnest.

"My thoughts have been consumed by you for days...I couldn't get you out of my mind no matter how hard I tried. I wanted you more and more, the more I tried to ignore you, to forget you...all of my resistance just seemed to fuel your hold on me even more. It was maddening."

"Now that I have you, now that I know I have your heart...I don't intend on letting go," he murmurs, his voice a low, possessive growl.

He slides a hand into her hair, gently pulling her closer, their faces only inches apart.

“You're mine now, Harley."

Harley leans into him, her hand resting over his beating heart, a soft smile on her face.

"Yours," she whispers, her voice holding a vow, a promise of something deeper and far more lasting.

As the night progressed, Feyd and Harley stay together in his chambers, their bodies pressed closely together.

This night, this moment, seals their fates, binding them together in a way that goes beyond desire or even lust.

They are each other's now, heart and soul, and nothing will ever be the same again.

Hi! It’s been a hot minute and this one took too long. I kept changing plots and didn’t know how to write it just right. I haven’t wrote this long of a story before, (I feel pretty odd putting smut in here because I’m a innocent soul and it’s not my thing) so I hope it’s semi decent 🤔

Random headcanons I think of sometimes (Oops! All Friends spinoff)

Dendritic cell doesn't get his cytokine material himself, he employs the M cells in the bars to capture the most horrendous images of immune cells while they're all intoxicated (he wears a feather boa when he's activated <3)

Canon but I don't think a lot of people know, he has good voice acting skills with his singing + narration being pretty good

Leaves his plushies everywhere. Gave one to M cell to see if it'd cheer him up, it did because M cell was happy he tried helping him. Dendritic cell thought it was just because of the cuteness and purity of the lactic acid bacterium

He visits M cell so much, every time M cell rings up the dendritic cells for antigen presentation it's always our beloved Dendritick cell that comes to his bar to get it

Dendritic cell also started out absolutely terrified of bacteria, had to practice very hard with antigen presentation

There is written fiction of the neutrophils, probably a lot of BL let's be real

There is a popular book that is like Twilight but with those weirdos

All neutrophils except for 2145 have colored hair and eyes, I will not elaborate

More of a general thing rather than only friends, but neutrophils definitely have sharper teeth compared to non phagocyte cells

2145 goes to work everyday even on his off days, it's for a free lunch

2145 eats the body of cells right in front of other cells without thinking of the implications, he is enjoying the snack.

His favorite past time is listening to 1235 talk about her day, she is like a radio for him

3033 doesn't have a single creative bone in his body, you ask him to draw something and it barely even looks like what you wanted. He wears all white all the time because he doesn't know what outfits look good with what color, it's terrible.

Squad Leader would kill himself if he knew, but 3033 dislikes him. It's not for any particular reason, they just don't mesh well. It's okay since Squad Leader doesn't bother 3033 a lot anyways

Canon but I never realized this in 3 years of reading this manga: 3033 doesn't wear his knife straps on his legs if it isn't necessary to use those knives, only wears them when he needs to fight something dangerous.

M cell low-key has trouble eating enough because of his depression. You can directly counter this by getting him foods that expire within a day or two, he hates wasting food so he eats it before it expires.

Actually canon again but I need more people to know: M cell can make balloon animals

The fact that M cell has a lot of random skills in general, I wouldn't he surprised if he knew how to make stained glass art or could do wood carving

Cross reads the smuttiest, most vile BL stories as a past time. If you find his stash he will go insane.

He also enjoys talking to 1235 about squad leader (and then later on about 3033, girl talk)

1235 befriends so many immune cells because just like AE3803 from Main, she is a danger magnet. Everytime she is saved from an immune cell she makes small talk with them no matter how introverted they are (see 2145, NK and Eosinophil)

Helper T cell doesn't remember anything from his thymus days because it was so traumatizing he just blocks out those memories. It's not that he doesn't recognize Squad Leader, it's that his mind won't let him remember.

Squad Leader physically cannot hit another cell without orders, he can hit HT because Squad Leader is filled with so much rage every time he sees HT he just gains the strength to do it.

Also a general HC but I think Reg T cells in general have major face blindness. Unless you're someone close to them they will not recognize you once you do a change of clothes, but it's okay, as long as you still have the right receptors for the body they will protect you.

Eosinophil regularly visits M cell's bar because not only is it good practice for her with minimal casualties (poor M cell) but also it's an unpopular bar so she doesn't need to be so anxious.

B cell tried to hit on Eosinophil exactly once (1) and stopped because she exploded from anxiety and B cell thought she hated him so much she'd rather explode than talk to him

B cell and M cell don't like each other a lot, M cell thinks he's too loud, and B cell thinks he's too much of a downer. Partly the reason why Memory cell visited his bar alone without B cell

If you put NK and Eosinophil in the same room alone, they would just not talk. No conversation between those two. NK thinks Eos is judging her but Eos thinks NK doesn't like her and doesn't want to talk to her.

B cell and Mast cell get along surprisingly well (ignore how in canon Mast cell says he'll never talk to him again if he insults his gacha game girlies again), B cell talks about the pretty cells he sees regularly on the job while Mast cell show him his anime girls. Mutual respect until B cell is like "Well I prefer girls you can actually touch in the real world" in which Mast cell will tell him to shut up

I've played a lot of stealth games over the years, but my white whale remains a stealth game that uses the non-lethal takedown system implemented in Commandos 2: Men of Courage, a tactics game from 2001. A non-lethal takedown asks three basic questions: 1: How do you incapacitate someone? 2: How do you keep them incapacitated for as long as you need? 3: What happens if someone else finds the person you've incapacitated?

(There are actually loads of questions and ever-shifting genre assumptions but I'm lying and saying there's three.) There are a variety of popular answers to 1, of varying plausibility - bonking someone on the head, choking them, administering a sedative, zapping them with electricity, or just non-specifically beating them up.

Common approaches to 2 include 'enemies remain incapacitated indefinitely', 'enemies return to normal after some time', and 'enemies return to normal unless they're placed in an Enemy Storage Container (chest freezer, wardrobe, outhouse, etc.)'. 3 can involve the finder becoming alarmed, waking/freeing the incapacitee, both, or even neither - they might ignore incapacitated characters entirely.

In reality, many of the methods in 1 would not actually render someone unconscious for very long - and/or would carry a high risk of killing them - but this rarely correlates to the treatment of 2 - punching an NPC in the gut might put them out for hours, rather than the expected few seconds.

For instance, by way of a case study, in Thief: The Dark Project (1998):

1: NPCs can be knocked out by a stealthy blow to the head or by sedative gas. 2: NPCs remain unconscious indefinitely. 3: NPCs who find someone unconscious will become alerted, but not try to wake them.

Hitman: World of Assassination (2016-2022) expands but does not greatly complicate 1 and 2 (NPCs can be knocked out by just about anything, from violence to tainted food, and will remain incapacitated until found and woken) but adds its own twists to 3 (an unconscious NPC might be considered the victim of an accident if, for instance, they were knocked out by slipping on a banana peel or stepping on a rake, and so will be woken but not cause an alarm to be sounded).

Some games get really in the weeds about it. Some of the Metal Gear Solids have different layers of incapacitation depending on the method used, with different durations and different triggers to end them. Enemies could be stunned, knocked out, or held at gunpoint. NPCs held at gunpoint could be ordered to lie flat on their faces, and would remain lying there for so long as they thought there was a possibility that they still had a gun pointed at them - until someone came to rescue them, or an alert elsewhere told them the intruder had left their location.

(In practice, what usually happened was that Big Boss would tie a balloon to them, then run over a hill and dive-tackle a sheep.)

So, what does all this have to do with Commandos 2: Men of Courage, you ask? C2:MoC (pronounced see-to-mock) did something I haven't seen elsewhere. Enemies could be briefly stunned by an attack - being a squad-level game, different PCs had different attacks. Big burly ones could just hit people; smaller ones relied on surprise or speed.

Once stunned, enemies could then be bound and gagged to remove them from play. Again, this relied on a sufficiently well-prepared character - a big burly soldier could bind them, pick them up and carry them out of view, while someone smaller could only stun them briefly and run away.

This system very neatly answers all three questions while allowing for verisimilitude. 1 can be anything that briefly incapacitates someone - from a sedative to being tripped over, or even held up a la MGSV - because binding and gagging so neatly answers both 2 and 3 - the obvious solution to finding someone bound and gagged is to free them - or, at least, fetch help who can them free them (like how Hitman's non-combatants will summon police/security when they find a body).

C2:MoC was a squad-level tactics game, rather than a stealth game in the line of your Thiefs, Hitmans, Metal Gears, Alpha Protocols, Dishonoreds, and so on. The series dropped off pretty severely after 2, too, so I'm not surprised it doesn't have much of a cultural footprint these days. Still, I'm surprised few if any games have picked out this system to use for their non-lethal combat. The closest I'm aware of are a handful of police simulators which involve handcuffing suspects - and one or two mods for action-RPGs which allow binding enemies, but not in a stealth context.

(Honourable mention to GTA4, with its underrated 'hit or shoot someone enough times without killing them and eventually they'll be reduced to lying on the floor, swearing at you in a variety of languages, and you can just walk away' system.)

[mariacallous]

Mina Hsiang returned to the United States Digital Service, the US government's rapid digital fix-it squad, on January 26, 2021, when the streets of Washington, DC, had hardly been cleared after Joe Biden’s inauguration. She was one of the group’s founding members but had spent the past few years working for a health care startup. Upon her return, Hsiang worked on Covid response, and in September 2021, she became the third administrator of the USDS.

Her timing was impeccable. The organization had sprung from the infamous HeathCare.gov debacle in 2013, when the website for selecting insurance plans under the new Obamacare law crashed badly. Hsiang was a key member of the scrappy rescue team that turned things around, using principles of web design that were common in Silicon Valley operations but underutilized in government. Their methods flew in the face of typical arrangements in federal agencies, which would contract out digital operations to legacy firms with Beltway connections. Those six- or seven-figure contracts seldom demanded benchmark performances and often took years to complete, or were never finished at all. The tiny team of idealistic rescuers not only helped design a cleaner avenue to health insurance, but charmed the lifers at Health and Human Services (HHS) into enlisting them to fix up digital government more broadly.

The idea behind the new USDS was to bottle the same guerilla spirit that had saved HealthCare.gov. Ideally, these volunteers from the commercial tech firms would win the hearts and minds of people inside agencies like the Veterans Affairs (VA) or HHS, infiltrating their calcified cultures with the can-do spirit and constant iteration of a startup and creating digital government services as slick as the latest app from Silicon Valley.

I spoke to Hsiang this week about how the USDS is faring after two years under her leadership. During the Trump years, the agency had to scramble just to stay alive, no easy task when a target was tacked onto anything even tangentially related to Obama. The team survived through a combination of lying low and doing productive work. They managed to thread that needle, in part, because Jared Kushner was at one point infatuated with the concept. Nonetheless, USDS wasn’t thriving when Hsiang returned. “The last administration had done a lot to undermine staffing,” she says.

Hsiang took over just as things were looking up. Biden’s 2021 American Rescue Plan directed an astonishing $200 million to the USDS, ballooning its previously modest budget. That enabled USDS coders and designers to work with more agencies and start new programs. “There was just a ton of demand across government. So it was, ‘OK, how do we rebuild, scale, and up level,’” says Hsiang. It also helped that late in 2021, Biden issued an executive order making human-centered design a key part of the federal government’s digital interface with citizens. One radical idea: “In all sectors, services should reduce burdens, not increase them.”

The head count of USDS is now around 215, up from 80 when Hsiang ended her first stint with the group. “About a third of those are returners,” Hsiang says. Despite what she calls the “anti-sell”—a warning about the restrictions and financial implications of working for the government—“People still want to show up.”

Another part of her task was steadying the ship. Despite a number of victories in agencies ranging from the VA to the Department of Defense, USDS has enemies. Not surprisingly, some of those fat-cat contractors who enjoyed no-blame deals to create bloated databases that didn’t work pushed to constrain or kill this threat to their business models and self-respect. And apparently some critics just don’t like the idea of people in hoodies churning out code in the basements of federal agencies. The USDS has always dealt with pushback in Congress, and this summer some legislators launched an unsuccessful (for now) effort to strip $80 million from the USDS budget, claiming that the service wasn’t accountable. “What the hell are they working on?” one anonymous government critic said to FedScoop.

It’s actually pretty easy to see what the USDS is working on if you know where to look. You can find their work, for instance, on the Social Security Administration homepage, which has been revamped and streamlined with USDS input. “In November of last year it had 70,000 pages for you to navigate to find information,” Hsiang says. “We got it down to 280, which is much more digestible.”

Or consider the website that allowed Americans to order home delivery of free Covid tests. Instead of asking people dozens of questions before they could sign up, the drop-dead simple form just asked where to send the darn things. Yes, there was a speed bump when the site couldn’t parse some addresses for citizens who lived in multifamily residences, but that was quickly resolved. Two-thirds of American households ultimately participated, with over 755 million tests distributed. “It was a phenomenal example of the partnership between USDS and agencies and the White House and the US Postal Service—of how we can all work together,” says Hsiang. “We can restore trust by having a thing that operates as you would expect it to, that looks more like the products we all choose to use every day, rather than the ones we have to use.”

There’s a long way to go, of course. Matthew Desmond, in his book Poverty by America, describes how millions of Americans don’t take advantage of vital programs because they are difficult to access. “I think a lot about the opportunity for technology to reduce that administrative burden,” says Hsiang. One problem, she notes, is that getting help often requires a citizen to access programs from multiple agencies that are poorly coordinated. “One of our superpowers is our ability to work between multiple agencies.”

One missed opportunity is the failure of the Biden Administration to fill the post of chief technology officer of the United States. “It would definitely be better to have an incredible partner in that office,” Hsiang concedes. On the other hand, Biden’s current chief of staff, Jeff Zients, is deeply familiar with USDS, since he was once in charge of the HealthCare.gov rescue. “He brings us in and ensures that programs are running the right way,” Hsiang says.

I ask Hsiang how USDS regards generative AI because, well, my license as a tech pundit would be revoked if I failed to do that. “We’re looking at it very carefully,” she says—a line currently mandatory for those in her line of work. She cites concerns that AI bots might infect services with bias. But like it or not, the AI boom has to be dealt with. Hsiang cites an HHS website called Grants.gov that takes submissions for thousands of funding applications. A flood of AI-generated pitches is expected. “We need to respond to that,” she says. The USDS is also experimenting with ways to use generative AI inside government services. “We’re hiring for folks who really understand how to use and implement AI systems,” she says.

One thing hasn’t changed at USDS: its desire to spread a positive contagion of citizen-centric tech efforts among those bureaucracies. “One of our hypotheses early on is to see if we can do this culture change, with different ways of operating and thinking, and make it sustainable,” says Hsiang. “We’re currently working with about a dozen agencies who are trying to think through how they can build that capability internally.”

One indicator of this shift: The patient Hsiang first joined the government to save is thriving. Transcending its disastrous beginning, HealthCare.gov no longer requires outside support from the group’s geeky fixers.

Time Travel

In January 2017, I wrote about the United States Digital Service’s accomplishments, as well as its uncertain prospects under a president who might not be inclined to continue the Obama-created agency of tech hackers dedicated to Silicon Valley-izing government IT.

As the inauguration approaches, the mood swings at the USDS are Calder-esque. Dickerson describes it as “a high school graduation and a massive layoff mixed with a funeral that’s gone on for two months.” On the Facebook feeds of politically appointed tech surgers you see photos of final handshakes with the president; they’re wearing uncharacteristically formal garb and are often with their families; they have been ushered into the Oval Office for mutual thanks. Obama himself bid farewell to the team at a ceremony on the steps of the Executive Office Building last Thursday. He spent the better part of an hour thanking the team and telling them what a difference they made.

But they know it already, and the experience has made many of them reluctant to return to their previous lives inside profit-making corporations. Those jobs don’t seem so meaningful anymore. Some are sticking around the DC area, even though they hate it as a place to live. There’s talk about a loose network of tech surge alumni engaging in a new kind of insurgency—outside the government but with the same end of serving the people.

“Every hint I ever had was that the infrastructure of civilization was someone else’s problem,” says Matthew Weaver. “What a lie that was. It was my problem. I’m lucky to have the skills to address this. Now I want everyone who has an inkling of this to understand … to say, this is my problem.”

[heartwoodventures]

The Hunt continues!

The next hunt takes Heartwood far into the sky to the sea of clouds. A mite with a MITE-y sting needed to be dealt with, it’s when the group got there they learned that it could float through the air! Drifting with ease on a balloon of it’s own making, the group would have quite hard time hitting the beast...

Servon Faucheux took a breath as he was waiting for the hunt squad to get together, to regain some color of his face and walk up behind era and put his good hand on her shoulder.

S'era Rarku eyes Kunu Vali and licks her chops.

S'era Rarku looks at Servon Faucheux in surprise.

Augusta Aventurine seems lost in thought.

Augusta Aventurine: "I wish I could just float away on a dandellion in the sea of clouds... but that would be scary."

Augusta Aventurine laughs.

S'era Rarku let out a startled squeak, only to quickly clear her throat and regain her composure. "A-ah... there you are."

Servon Faucheux: "D...Did you just squeak."

Augusta Aventurine looked around for a second. She thought she heard a lalafell.

Augusta Aventurine smiles at Karaleo Palaleo.

S'era Rarku: "Of course not. That was... Augy... er... this thing."

S'era Rarku points at Carbuncle.

Augusta Aventurine: "Pal, how are you holding up?"

Karaleo Palaleo gazes upon Augusta Aventurine in deep reflection.

Karaleo Palaleo: "I'm not so experienced with this conjury staff, but I'll do my best to remember what Ms. Reille taught us."

Augusta Aventurine motions joyfully to Karaleo Palaleo.

Augusta Aventurine: "I learned a lot from her too. I'm still not great with healing magick though..."

Yehna Epocan | Yehna's carbuncle sniffs around S'era and Servon's feet.

Khashin Gharl | The Group would find themselves upon one of the many isles of the sea of clouds, hitching a ride from the company airship to find their prey. Not after taking a step off the airship, Khashin seems enamored with the land they find themselves upon. “Fascinating that such floating lands truly exist…” after a few moments he regains his composure and joins the group. “I believe we’re after some manner of vilekin, yes?”

Karaleo Palaleo: "I'll try to stay back and support the real fighters like you three."

Yehna Epocan: "I'm sure you'll do great, Mr. Karaleo."

Servon Faucheux smiled slightly and kept his hand there,"We can talk more after the hunt, But.. you are a sight that even across the longest seas I'm happy to return too." He said rather simply with a tip of flush upon his ears, before he looked down," This thing isn't going to kill me right..?" He then turned to the hunt-master.

Karaleo Palaleo smiles at Yehna Epocan.

Augusta Aventurine smiles at Karaleo Palaleo.

Augusta Aventurine nods to Yehna Epocan.

Servon Faucheux eyes kept looking down at the buncle, horrified.

Augusta Aventurine gazes upon you in deep reflection.

Augusta Aventurine: "I dunno... I didn't check the poster... I hope not. Vilekin are nasty!"

Servon Faucheux: "I'm unsure of the details, but I am here to assist in any means Hunt lead."

Servon Faucheux: "Or do you prefer Master..? Lord...?"

Yehna Epocan: "Psh psh, Bunky, stay close. A paissa might try to eat you." Yehna beckons the carbuncle back to her.

Augusta Aventurine smiles at Carbuncle.

Karaleo Palaleo stares at Yehna Epocan in fear.

S'era Rarku: "I remember you. You helped my sister kill Tabuu'uuk the Lesser all those moons ago. You all did, actually... except the halfling. I don't remember seeing him."

Augusta Aventurine: "It's been a while sincce I've you too Mister Yaki! How have you been?"

Yehna Epocan ventures closer to Khashin to hear more about the vilekin they are after.

Yakih'ra Vashai: "Been busy with jobs is all, with Nyscera not around I've been keeping an eye on the house more as are my orders. Along with making sure everyone stays safe during her departure."

Khashin Gharl inhales sharply from his nostrils. "...Well I brought a copy, considering everyone seemed to have forgotten our target last hunt I joined in..." he dips his hand into his robe and pulls out the information. "Leader? I do not beleive I am heading this charge...anyway. Tepupuhi Otehau, some manner of mite that has been causing trouble."

Augusta Aventurine nods to Yakih'ra Vashai.

Augusta Aventurine moves closer to Khashin as she listens to Yaki

(S'era Rarku) This Nat'leii Zundu is about to get a boot up his bird ass if he doesn't stfu

Augusta Aventurine experiences a brief moment of enlightenment upon seeing Yakih'ra Vashai.

Augusta Aventurine sees Yakih'ra Vashai and blushes with embarrassment.

(Servon Faucheux) annnd you can haaave

(Yakih'ra Vashai) I think I know what to do

(Servon Faucheux) a boot to the head.

Yehna Epocan reaches for the hunt paper, "A mite?"

Augusta Aventurine didn't say anything else as a possibility crossed her mind, returning her attention to Kashin

Karaleo Palaleo: "A mite? I thought mites were really small."

Karaleo Palaleo gazes upon you in deep reflection.

Augusta Aventurine gazes upon you in deep reflection.

Yehna Epocan says completely serious, "It must be a mighty mite for there to be a bounty on it."

S'era Rarku: "Easy prey."

Augusta Aventurine: "A mite... so like those things around the shroud? They don't seem too bad..."

(Servon Faucheux) Me trying not to make a "This Mite  be easy pun"

(Servon Faucheux) but SERV DOESNT DO PUNS DAMNIT

Yakih'ra Vashai ears flicked at the sight of Augi's face becoming flushed with a pinkish color, was it something he said? He shrugged and turned back to focus on Khashin.

(S'era Rarku) Zoro would jump on it but S'era doesn't even know what puns are Q_Q

(Yakih'ra Vashai) Y'all are on the wrong characters

(Yakih'ra Vashai) we need at least one pun maker

(Augusta Aventurine) *glances at Pal*

(S'era Rarku) That's what Karaleo is for

Khashin Gharl returns his gaze to the dossier. "Apparently the ones native to here possess the ability to float some how? Either way, this...Tepupuhi...seems to be causing quite an issue to these bird men."

Karaleo Palaleo: "Pssh! This might be easy then!"

Karaleo Palaleo smirks confidently at Augusta Aventurine.

Augusta Aventurine smiles at Karaleo Palaleo.

Augusta Aventurine: "I sure hope so..."

Servon Faucheux: "If it has a bounty here in the sea of clouds.."

Karaleo Palaleo gazes upon Augusta Aventurine in deep reflection.

Servon Faucheux: "Never be so certain, the hunts that take place here are not so easy."

Karaleo Palaleo: "What exactly is a mite though? It's in the Shroud too you said?"

Augusta Aventurine nods to Karaleo Palaleo.

S'era Rarku: "It must be feasting on their bird eggs. This is pest control and nothing more."

Yehna Epocan shares the leaflet for the hunt with Yakih'ra so they can look over it together.

Servon Faucheux: "Dragoons are out of work.. do also watch out for those who have turned to sky piracy."

Karaleo Palaleo: "Must be one of those things I sometimes see but don't know the name for."

Augusta Aventurine: "There's lots of them... when they're little they're kinda cute... as they get bigger though, they look pretty scary. Big red eyes, long tails with a stinger, two big claws, and plenty of legs! They're not so tough though as long as they're not in a group."

Yakih'ra Vashai looked down at the leaflet and let his head lean against Yehna's, he'd use some excuse just to be close to her. "Seems like something we can handle."

Karaleo Palaleo nods to Yakih'ra Vashai.

Khashin Gharl: "They give no location, aside from this general part of the sea, as it were. It must move frequently...if it truly can float I'm sure it hides beneath our feet."

(Servon Faucheux) me screaming still support and holding up signs for Yehna and Yakih'ra tbh.

S'era Rarku ponders over you.

Servon Faucheux closed his eyes,"If it is nesting, You'll likely find it near the peaks.. where there is more fertile land to burrow."

S'era Rarku nods to Servon Faucheux.

Yehna Epocan: "Mr. Khashin does that mean we should go look for it? S'era might be able to track it because she's such a great hunter."

S'era Rarku: "Someplace nearby perhaps, away from the fat ixal spears."

Servon Faucheux felt a hidden blade stab him, so much for the former temple knight exprience.

Khashin Gharl: "Or perhaps it just floats...instead of flies I guess...underneath these floating isles. Or clings to the underside as vilekin tend to do."

Servon Faucheux: "Do watch for the wild winds when across open areas.. it is easy to be swept away."

Augusta Aventurine gazes upon you in deep reflection.

Augusta Aventurine: "I hope it's not... I don't know how we could get to it..."

S'era Rarku couldn't agree more with Yehna's accurate assumption. She truly is the greatest hunter to ever live.

Khashin Gharl crosses his arms. "It is unlikely it will happen upon us near the settlement, so yes perhaps we should start moving. I am sure we will find some track of it to follow."

S'era Rarku took Servon by his limp hand and tugged him along.

(Servon Faucheux) noodle leash.

Augusta Aventurine quietly glanced in S'era's and Serv's direction, her tail swaying lightly, a light smile on her face.

(S'era Rarku) Protect spud boi

Karaleo Palaleo: "With all these big dandelions it seems like there's plenty places to hide."

Karaleo Palaleo looks around.

Khashin Gharl lacks his normal focus as he walks, eyes darting form floating isle to isle. "Charged with wind aether...of course..."

Yehna Epocan whispers to Yakih'ra "I didn't realize S'era and Servon were so close."

Augusta Aventurine nods to Karaleo Palaleo.

Servon Faucheux: "Do also be weary...There are still wyvern nests abound in these rocks."

Khashin Gharl: "What is a wyvern?"

Augusta Aventurine seems lost in thought.

S'era Rarku pokes the wind sprite.

Augusta Aventurine: "Are they still a threat? I thought once the war ended we wouldn't have to worry about anything dragon-like."

Yakih'ra Vashai: "They're together." He whispered back.

Servon Faucheux: "A no armed dragon, with a large stinger.. and massive wings."

Yehna Epocan giggles gleefully at that information

S'era Rarku: "This is..."

S'era Rarku's eyes begin to well up.

S'era Rarku: "The most beautiful place I've ever seen..."

Karaleo Palaleo: "Whew I haven't walked this much in ages...I'm almost winded already."

Augusta Aventurine smiles at Karaleo Palaleo.

Servon Faucheux: "Have you never been here before Era..?" He paused and looked  over to Augusta," And.. Not all drakekind took to the armcitce."

Augusta Aventurine: "I'd offer a piggy back ride, but my spikes aren't very fun, I've been told."

Augusta Aventurine laughs at Karaleo Palaleo.

Khashin Gharl: "I see. I have yet to see one of any variety. I heard there were fierce foes, yet can speak despite being beastlike. Such as Auspices."

Karaleo Palaleo smiles at Augusta Aventurine.

Augusta Aventurine gazes upon Servon Faucheux in deep reflection.

S'era Rarku: "I have only been to Coerthas once, ridding a village of a dragonblood drinking cult."

Karaleo Palaleo: "Was nice to offer though. Gah! Now rocks..."

Yakih'ra Vashai paused for a moment to grab Yehna to carry her along the rocky path.

Servon Faucheux: "Heretics and such aye.. well..We will have to hunt in the forelands some time."

S'era Rarku smiles weakly at Servon Faucheux.

Khashin Gharl glanced to the side. " I cannot imagine one would survive a fall form here, mind the rougher terrain."

Yehna Epocan blushes as she is carried up the boulders. "I-I-I can do it!"

Servon Faucheux: "For those not used to this climate, when fighting here, make sure you regulate your breath."

Karaleo Palaleo looks surprised!

Augusta Aventurine seems lost in thought.

Servon Faucheux: "The air is harder to breath here and you can get light-headed easily."

Augusta Aventurine: "It's been a loooong time, I have to get used to it again."

Augusta Aventurine gently pats Karaleo Palaleo.

S'era Rarku: Unless YOU die ))

Khashin Gharl: "Yes, the air feels sparser than normal. Like being at a mountaintop."

Servon Faucheux: "That is correct Ser Khashin."

(Augusta Aventurine) sorry the /pet was out of character, but it was a reflex at this point, lol

(Karaleo Palaleo) it wouldve worked though haha

(S'era Rarku) Augusta petting Lalafell is 100% in character

Servon Faucheux: "Mind you.. the Vanu do try to keep the most da ngerous of the creatures at bay."

(Augusta Aventurine) very true XD

(Karaleo Palaleo) rite

Servon Faucheux: "They are quite the hunters themselves."

(Yakih'ra Vashai) Please tell me this carbuncle is a chunky one

Karaleo Palaleo looks around.

Khashin Gharl | AS the group continued on, they'd seed some of said mites scurry alone the underside of the higher up isles, alone with web strung across some. They seemed to ignore the group's presence however.

(Yehna Epocan) He's a round boi. Yehna feeds him lots of snacks.

S'era Rarku: "How can they fight so well being so fat?"

Servon Faucheux confuses S'era Rarku.

Augusta Aventurine looks around.

Augusta Aventurine: "Those are the mites right... don't get too close to them Pal! I don't want you to get carried away!"

Karaleo Palaleo nods to Augusta Aventurine.

Servon Faucheux: "Much of their heft is their feathers... And I'm unsure if those are the ones we are after though..."

Augusta Aventurine smiles at Karaleo Palaleo.

Servon Faucheux: "They do not seem out of size.. nor aggressive.."

S'era Rarku: "Children, maybe. I would stay alert for their mother."

Karaleo Palaleo: "Those tiny shrimps are the source of all the hubbub?"

Khashin Gharl "They do not seem particularly aggressive.." as they watched one started slinging web at a nearby air current until it spun it up in balloon like prison, hopping on after and floating to toward the bigger cluster of islands.

S'era Rarku draws her weapon.

Karaleo Palaleo's eyes grow wide with awe.

Servon Faucheux: "Follow the workers.. to their lair.."

Servon Faucheux: "We are not after a mere mite I fear, we are after a mite matriarch.."

Khashin Gharl: "Fascinating...they can capture air aether...perhaps as the live close to wind charge crystals at the bottom of the isles..." he muses to himself as they carry on.

Yehna Epocan watches the mite spin a web and fly away, "That's really something. It's beautiful and giving me the heebie jeebies at the same time."

Yakih'ra Vashai: "I'll keep you safe."

Karaleo Palaleo looks around.

S'era Rarku: "Can't see shite with this stupid hat...!"

Augusta Aventurine gazes upon S'era Rarku in deep reflection.

Servon Faucheux: "Would you care for me to put such on my belt?"

S'era Rarku ponders over Servon Faucheux.

Augusta Aventurine: "Come to think of it where did you get that outfit Era? And the hat?"

S'era Rarku: "It is too big for your belt."

Servon Faucheux patted the belt on his back.

S'era Rarku: "The blonde woman bought this for me."

Augusta Aventurine looks around.

(Khashin Gharl) One sec let me scout quick))

(Khashin Gharl) head back down this way, there are less hostiles down there

S'era Rarku couldn't take it anymore-- she violently ripped off the hat and pushed it toward Servon. "That's the one. She gets really huffy when I call her halfling."

Augusta Aventurine looks at S'era Rarku in shock!

Servon Faucheux took the hat and put it on his back like some sort of wandering ronin.

Augusta Aventurine: "She's a sweetheart... don't throw it away, she may be sad."

Yakih'ra Vashai: "Karaleo, I mean this in the best way possible. Would you like to ride on my shoulders while we travel?"

Karaleo Palaleo nods to Yakih'ra Vashai.

Karaleo Palaleo: "Yeah, that sounds awesome! Thanks a lot bud!"

Khashin Gharl | as they continued on they'd see more mites, all still paying them little mind as they headed towards a clearing ahead.

S'era Rarku furrows her brow.

Yakih'ra Vashai crouched down so Karaleo could get up. "Just let me know when you want down."

Karaleo Palaleo happily climbed up on Yaki's shoulders, very grateful for the rest.

Karaleo Palaleo cheers Yakih'ra Vashai on!

Yehna Epocan | Yehna's carbuncle flops on the ground and lets out a tired wheeze. Yehna scratches between its ears, "Come on buddy, we're just getting started."

Yakih'ra Vashai scooped up the carbuncle on the way to give the summon a rest too, the Keeper looked like the dad on vacation who was carrying everything for the family.

Servon Faucheux teased a bit looking back with a short smirk.

Khashin Gharl: "I wonder if the island fall if they loose enough aether..." he stepped carefully over some of the less sturdy looking rocks.

Yakih'ra Vashai: "If Yehna wants to be carried I can carry her as well."

Karaleo Palaleo looks at Yakih'ra Vashai in surprise.

(Khashin Gharl) <se.1> !!![Something is happening! Please keep to banter!]!!!

S'era Rarku ponders over Yehna Epocan.

S'era Rarku ponders over Yakih'ra Vashai.

S'era Rarku: "She has good hips for birthing. She could give you many strong daughters."

Random! You roll a 6 (out of 7).

Augusta Aventurine watched the crowd of people, being a nosy little miqo'te.

Yehna Epocan Yehna pouts, "I can walk! I'm tough and capable! ...But Yakih'ra does look really handsome when he... ack!!"

S'era Rarku nods to Yakih'ra Vashai.

Random! Yakih'ra Vashai rolls a 707.

Yehna Epocan: "S'ERA! You sounds like my aunt!!"

Augusta Aventurine laughs.

S'era Rarku: "Your aunt sounds very wise."

Karaleo Palaleo looks at S'era Rarku in surprise.

Servon Faucheux rubbed at his own ear, yeah that was about on brand, but he had to laugh a little, He missed that.

Yakih'ra Vashai managed to keep it cool but gods damn in his head his brain broke into a million pieces, more or so thinking what the kids would look like but he wouldn't say shit.

Servon Faucheux: "I've seen Yehna weild an axe and Yakihira is a promintent fighter too... "

Servon Faucheux: "Strong and sneaky, deadly combo."

Yehna Epocan is BRIGHT red and looks petulant.

Augusta Aventurine experiences a brief moment of enlightenment upon seeing Servon Faucheux.

S'era Rarku: "A match made in the heavens."

Augusta Aventurine: "She -was- weilding an axe that one time wasn't she?"

Servon Faucheux: "One might say the heavens greet us even now as we are in the clouds themselves."

Augusta Aventurine is deep in thought.

Yehna Epocan: "I-I-I'm right here. Don't talk about me like I'm not here!"

Augusta Aventurine: "Hmm... I hear Keepers tend to be matriarchs... I wonder if Yehna is more a Keeper or Seeker... could be trouble for Yaki~" Augusta mused to herself.

Servon Faucheux: "I apologize Yehna, I was trying to tease Yakih'ra for teasing me moons ago.. I seem to have done more daamge to you."

Karaleo Palaleo climbed up a bit higher on Yaki's back to get a better view at what was ahead. "We're supposed to be working here! You guys got your brains in the gutter."

S'era Rarku: "I heard no teasing. Having wide hips for birthing is a compliment, no?"

Yehna Epocan sniffs, "Thank you, Mr. Servon."

Yehna Epocan wails at S'era's comment about her hips. "Aaaaaahhhhh!!"

Khashin Gharl | There didn’t seem to be any more mites in the area than there had been on the way to this dead end. As everyone looked around however, something suddenly floated up from the edge of the isle. It looks like a huge sticky ball of yarn that had a green glowing tinge to it. Some quickly skittered around from the other side of it, a massive mite with a sharp stinging tail swinging off its back end!

Khashin Gharl | Without any warning it let out a hiss, the web ball jetting forward towards Agusta, and the vilekin swinging its tail towards her!

(Khashin Gharl) roll please gusta))

Yakih'ra Vashai: "When Yehna is ready for such things she will let me know, I'm going at her pace and will only move to the next step at her word." He gaze a quick nod. "I'm sure the kids would be cute however. Especially if they had your looks." Wrapping an arm around Yehna he planted a kiss to the top of her head. "You're beautiful, my moon, just ignore the teasing." He whispered to her, even though the little shit had just teased her.

Random! Augusta Aventurine rolls a 947.

(S'era Rarku) CATLIKE REFLEXES

Servon Faucheux ears went bright red, WHAT A FELLOW YAKIH WAS.

Servon Faucheux was so distracted he likely would of been hit if that had been after him.

(Khashin Gharl) Easy dodge, and +100 for your next roll for the counter attack!))

Yehna Epocan is still bright redand hugs Yakih'ra back, but her lower lip is still jutting out in a pout.

S'era Rarku grabbed at Servon's elbow and yanked him away from Augusta.

(Karaleo Palaleo) xD

(Karaleo Palaleo) d

(Karaleo Palaleo) thanks

(S'era Rarku) Riggity rekt

(Yakih'ra Vashai) I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TIME TO REACT

(Yakih'ra Vashai) Snipped off shoulders

Augusta Aventurine 's ears perked up as she heard something. Her instincts told her to dodge, so she did. Moving behind the group and getting prepared for a counter attack. She looked up, spear drawn and pointed, "Above!"

(Karaleo Palaleo) i can switch to bard for safety but am CNJ ic

Khashin Gharl was looking at more of the floating rocks when the silk orb appeared, caught a might offguard by it as it suddenly zoomed to Gusta. "On your guard!" his still jingled as he pulled it from his back.

Khashin Gharl | Tepupuhi quickly swung back up, that orb sure was agile! It seemed to be manipulating the aether inside to jet around!

(Khashin Gharl) <se.4> !!![Attack Resume!]!!!

Karaleo Palaleo: "Now seems like a good time. Thanks for the ride!"

Karaleo Palaleo agrees wholeheartedly with Yakih'ra Vashai.

Servon Faucheux was yanked and smiled towards Era," Thanks." He said before he made a single sign with his hand, marking Suiton, as he drew his sword the water particles in the air rushed towards his sword and coated the entire edge with rushing aetherical water.

Yehna Epocan yelps, "THAT'S  A HECKIN' BIG BUG!"

Servon Faucheux: "Aim for the tail, or the base of it's claws, don't waste your time on the armor of it's main body."

Augusta Aventurine took a deep breath. Gods it was nasty looking, but what goods a DRG that can't fly? She took to the air, ready to pay back what that mite tried to do to her! Her lance aiming for the claws, or if that failed, the tail!

Random! Augusta Aventurine rolls a 275.

Karaleo Palaleo lifted his rod, feeling instant hesitation about his conjury skills and instead drawing the bow from his back. "Maybe I'll just save the magic for emergencies...A good shot to the tail might immobilize it! Here goes nothing."

Random! Karaleo Palaleo rolls a 936.

S'era Rarku pressed her palm against her blade and ran it along the edge. The blood ignited against the metal, enveloping her sword in a bright orange flame. "Time for killing!" Cried out the murder hobo, eager to spill some mite blood! Immediately she dashed forward, aiming to maim the beast with an overhead swing to a foreleg!

Random! S'era Rarku rolls a 109.

(S'era Rarku) What the-

Servon Faucheux breathed in and air aether flew into his legs and body, as he charged right at it trying to get the creatures full attention, following up with Era, and striking the other claw.

Random! Servon Faucheux rolls a 775.

(Servon Faucheux) what is this.

(S'era Rarku) It's because I touched you rofl

(Augusta Aventurine) Ty is stealing our luck.

(Servon Faucheux) TWO GOOD ROLLS FOR SERV?!?

(Servon Faucheux) ITS A MIRACLE

(Servon Faucheux) A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE

Yakih'ra Vashai rushed forward and with a kick to the ground sent himself up into the air to come slashing down on the tail, a quick look and one would see the blades on Yakih'ra's weapons became red quickly before returning to their normal silver color. A slight big of steam came off the blades if they were to slash through the flesh of the tail.

Random! Yakih'ra Vashai rolls a 110.

(Yakih'ra Vashai) It's ok we can fail together

(Yakih'ra Vashai) Yaki only rolls well when protecting Yehna xD

Khashin Gharl swung his staff around, already jumping to action. Light trilling chimes emitted from his staff until he release the spell, everyone feeling a sudden gust of wind at their back! "I shall use this land to our advantage, the wind shall quicken your steps!" Everyone would feel a bit quicker for now!

(Servon Faucheux) fuckin perfect doh.

(Yehna Epocan) can I do something defensive? like a roll and it can be used defensively in the enemy's turn?

(Khashin Gharl) Yup!

(Khashin Gharl) What did Karaleo attack with?))

(Karaleo Palaleo) arrow to the tail)

Yehna Epocan picks up her carbuncle from where it was hiding behind her, or trying to nap, it is unclear. She give it a little pat on the butt to tell him it is time to work and together they cast an elemental aegis on the frontline fighters of their party - Sevron, S'era, Yakih'ra.

Random! Yehna Epocan rolls a 153.

(Khashin Gharl) Okay!

(Yehna Epocan) sorry the carbuncle is slacking

(Augusta Aventurine) Augi just got to the frontlines so wouldn't count, lol. Just putting her where she'd be after a jump XD ))

(Yehna Epocan) Augy sneaking to the front after I wrote that.

(Khashin Gharl) <se.1> !!![Something is happening! Please keep to banter!]!!!

Khashin Gharl | Karaleo’s aim was spot on, an arrow piercing the chitin of the stinger as the beast let out a hiss, the distraction giving Servon enough time to land a strike to one of its legs. The rest of the fighters are not so lucky however, it gets on the defensive, crawling around the diameter of its floating orb and jetting away erratically, it certainly was agile for how bulky it was. There must be a lot of aether sealed up in its balloon.

Random! You roll a 4 (out of 7).

Karaleo Palaleo looks shocked.

Karaleo Palaleo: "Where do you think you're going!?"

Random! You roll a 5 (out of 7).

Yehna Epocan gives her carbuncle a disappointed look. "What was that? How much slacking off have you been doing while I was studying." The carbuncle returns a sullen look back at Yehna.

Khashin Gharl |Crawling to the top of its ride, it suddenly shot a wad of web in S’era’s direction, and then another aimed at Servon!

(Khashin Gharl) Rolls from Serv and sera please

(Yehna Epocan) afk for a momment. if anything comes through on the keyboard my cat might have sat on it))

Random! S'era Rarku rolls a 828.

Random! Servon Faucheux rolls a 51.

(Servon Faucheux) up

(Servon Faucheux) there we go

(S'era Rarku) Balance restored

(Khashin Gharl) S'era is fine. Servon is pelted by the web and stuck in place this turn, so ranged attacks only (or anything besides physical!)

(Khashin Gharl) Also bonus rule reveal! Being as agile as it is, any rolls under 400 do no damage, unless you can find some way to ground it...))

(Khashin Gharl) <se.4> !!![Attack Resume!]!!!

(Yehna Epocan) back))

Augusta Aventurine furrowed her brow at the diremite. "You sneaky little..." She quickly moved, trying to match its agility and stab the little guy wherever she coudl! but preferrably at the stinger or claw.

Random! Augusta Aventurine rolls a 571.

S'era Rarku didn't bring any throwing spears-- instead she sheathed her sword for half a heartbeat before drawing it again, throwing flames at the skittering beast!

Random! S'era Rarku rolls a 518.

Servon Faucheux was turned into a webcacoon, "Twelves.. damnit.. Why" His pose was the silliest thing as he had extended his sword out so he looked like he was extending his sword towards the heavens but fully stuck in place.

Servon Faucheux could not do much so he just, sort of hobbled to the right to be a human web-shield for Era.

Karaleo Palaleo felt a spring in his step from Khashin's magic as he repositioned to focus on placing another aimed shot at the scorpion's tail. He drew the arrow back as far as he could and released it, finding it propelled a little faster by Khashin's wind.

Random! Karaleo Palaleo rolls a 348.

(Servon Faucheux) I'll roll for def I suppose lol

Random! Servon Faucheux rolls a 744.

Khashin Gharl watched the bug (or arachnid? there were eight legs) deftly manuever the skies. "For something with no wings it masters the air.." he gave his staff three hard swings, a lound clang coming from each one. Three sharped rocks shots from the ground towards Tepupuhi, aiming to hit either it or the balloon it rid on!

Random! You roll a 930.

Yakih'ra Vashai tail lashed as he stared the hunt down, ears flicking as an idea came to mind he decided to fight wind with wind. Crouching down like a cat ready to pounce a bug in the air Yakih'ra launched himself up again and with a flip through the air he focused wind aether around his leg and tried to slam it down with enough force to ground the creature.

Random! Yakih'ra Vashai rolls a 116.

(Yakih'ra Vashai) ............

(Yakih'ra Vashai) YAKI WHAT YOU DOING BRO

Yehna Epocan gestures to Servon, "Bunky, go help Mr. Servon." The carbuncle skip-waddles over to Servon and starts nibbling at the webbing pinning Servon in place.

Random! Yehna Epocan rolls a 996.

(Khashin Gharl) Serv is chewed free I suppose? You get your attack back (unless you're gonna keep defending)))

(Yehna Epocan) I'll attack!

(Khashin Gharl) No Serv gets his attack back!))

(Servon Faucheux) He'll defend still~

(Yehna Epocan) ah okay! cool beans))

(Servon Faucheux) He protecc.

(Khashin Gharl) <se.1> !!![Something is happening! Please keep to banter!]!!!

Yehna Epocan gasps as she watches Yakih'ra make his attack.

Khashin Gharl |Ykih’ra wiffed through the air once more, the cunning vilekin spinning to the side to avoid him, though left itself open to Gusta’s slash in the process. As it made angry chittering noises it easily dodged Kara’s arrow, and while hit by S’era’s flaming slash, the wind aether quickly put out the flames that buffeted it for a moment.

Khashin Gharl | Two of Khashin’s stones missed their mark, but one had a direct hit to the aether cocoon, wind aether started to leak out from where his projectile struck! Tepupuhi dipped a bit slightly, but its ride was still intact for now! It started to spin the balloon around as it clung to the bottom, spraying poison throughout the area!

(Khashin Gharl) everyone defense roll

Random! You roll a 435.

Random! Augusta Aventurine rolls a 686.

Random! Yehna Epocan rolls a 586.

(Yehna Epocan) Can Yehna roll defense for her lover boy?

(Khashin Gharl) Everyone is fine except myself and Yakih'ra, they take the hit and are poisoned, -100 attack for the next turn.))

(Khashin Gharl) If you do you lose your attack next turn))

(Yehna Epocan) I/Carbuncle will do it))

Random! Yehna Epocan rolls a 998.

(Karaleo Palaleo) the save!

(Khashin Gharl) He's fine then xD. Still no attack though))

(Khashin Gharl) <se.4> !!![Attack Resume!]!!!

(Yakih'ra Vashai) Leo dcing

Yehna Epocan | Yehna's carbuncle dives in front of Yakih'ra in the most spectacular way possible

(S'era Rarku) Ye he flatlined but he should be coming back

(Servon Faucheux) Carbuncle: MR PRESIDENT GET DOWN

Yehna Epocan | using its pudgy little body to shield Yakih'ra from the poison.

(Yehna Epocan) :o secret service ageny bunky

(S'era Rarku) wb buddy

(Augusta Aventurine) you know, fiber optics starting to sound pretty good right now, lol

(Augusta Aventurine) what'd I miss?

(Karaleo Palaleo) wish it was in my area

Yakih'ra Vashai watched the carbuncle save his butt and even gave the critter a quick headpat. "You're my favorite carbuncle."

Karaleo Palaleo had been ready to dodge as soon as the bug moved its position. Springing out of the way, Pal slid to a stop across the rocks and nocked a double shot of arrows, one for each front leg of the bug!

Random! Karaleo Palaleo rolls a 21.

S'era Rarku dodged the poison but was quickly running out of breath all the same, crouching low before launching at the quivering vilekin for a lunging attack!

Random! S'era Rarku rolls a 479.

(S'era Rarku) Nobody posted while you were DC'd

(Augusta Aventurine) UwU

Yehna Epocan | The carbuncle purrs and trots back to Yehna looking extremely pleased with itself.

Karaleo Palaleo gasped as he fumbled the shot and the two arrows lazily fell to the rocks. "W-whoops!"

Karaleo Palaleo looks surprised!

Khashin Gharl tried to duck out of the way of the barrage of poison, but the amount the beast was spitting out, and the rate was too much. He took a hit to his chest, hissing as the secreation burned his skin. He swung his staff quickly to conjur up water to wash it away, but he could feel the poison already taking affect. Clenching his chest, he began channeling once more to cleanse it fully.

Augusta Aventurine held her breath and looked away from the vilekin as it sprayed outs its fumes, guarding herself for a moment. As the poison diffused, she eyed the ball the vilekin road on, seeing how it reacted to Khashin's attack earlier, she figured her best bit was to hit it as hard as she could. With lance in hand, she gave it the best thrust a dragoon could!

Random! Augusta Aventurine rolls a 614.

Servon Faucheux easily defended the two of them aganist the flurry of raining vile, As he then did a step forward getting out of the way of Era, and then grippedh is sword hard and sent a slash of razor sharp water up for the actual sack itself.

Random! Servon Faucheux rolls a 455.

Yakih'ra Vashai was getting frustrated with this bug, and started to dig around in his pockets and pulled out what seemed to be a lightning crystal. Chucking it above the mite the Keeper waited until it was directly above the target before flicking a small blast of wind aether at it to shatter it and once it shattered a bolt of lightning would hopefully come down onto the tail.

Random! Yakih'ra Vashai rolls a 88.

(Yakih'ra Vashai) I'm going home

(Karaleo Palaleo) ; - ;

Yehna Epocan consults her spell book for something suitable to either deflate a mite web balloon or empower Yakih'ra's weapon to incinerate it.

(Servon Faucheux) I think Yaki and Serv swapped spots tbh

(Khashin Gharl) This wouldn't be as bad if it wasn't for the special rule xD

(Khashin Gharl) <se.1> !!![Something is happening! Please keep to banter!]!!!

(Khashin Gharl) But it would still be funny

Khashin Gharl |Servon and Gusta would find the balolon far easier to hit than the deft creator, much of the silk was torn now and more wind aether was leaking out! As it panicked to try and mend it, Topu took another flaming slash from S’era, though being air aspected it was able to shake it off. Yakih’ra’s crystal got caught by a breeze and blew away, hopefully not hitting anything innocent.

Random! You roll a 4 (out of 7).

(Yehna Epocan) somewhere a paissa is struck by a lightening crystal))

(Karaleo Palaleo) rip

Khashin Gharl |Clearly enraged, it started spinning more and more web out of its maw, launching it all at a nearby air current. As it netted more aether, it quickly encased it into another decent sized balloon, and launched it at S’era with such velocity she wouldn’t be able to dodge! Stuck to the balloon, she’d start to slowly float away unless she or someone else could free her!

(Khashin Gharl) Give me a roll S'era

(Servon Faucheux) Serv will sack his attack to assist.

(Servon Faucheux) if thats kosher

(Servon Faucheux) (for next round that is)

Random! S'era Rarku rolls a 670.

(Khashin Gharl) S'all good she frees herself, but looses her attack nonetheless

(Khashin Gharl) <se.4> !!![Attack Resume!]!!!

Yehna Epocan Yehna gasps and smacks her head, “Ah, ah, oh it’s so basic, duh. The three submissions fire something something ice something something. Wind is obstructed by ice…. But I don’t have any ice magic.”

Karaleo Palaleo: "Gah! I'm doing terrible! What should I do now?"

Karaleo Palaleo clutches his head.

Servon Faucheux growled at that, once again preforming a suiton, as he rushed forward, putting more aether into his legs as well, he attempted to jump past the claws and slide on the creatures torso to try to clearly chop the creatures tail off. at least try.

Random! Servon Faucheux rolls a 248.

(Servon Faucheux) yeaah we back to normal serv hours

Augusta Aventurine let out a gleeful laugh as she continued to mindlessly stab that coccoon. Suddenly, she shifted her stroke, hoping to catch the mite off guard, her spear aiming right at the base of its tail! From her thrust at the ball, she slashed to the side aiming to cut it clean off!

Random! Augusta Aventurine rolls a 691.

S'era Rarku 's ears pin against her head as she hisses, caught like a cat entangled in a ball of string! She tightened her grip on her sword and used the wind aether to her advantage, suddenly slicing through the balloon in a backflip slash to land unharmed on the rocks in the distance.

Khashin Gharl taking a breath as he had cleansed the poison from himself, he noticed the state of the beast's ride. "I shall ground it by force!" he growled, trilling chimes ringing from his weapon as he whipped it around. Lines quickly formed under his feet until they all met, and he releases his spell, trying to pull more wind aether out of the already deflating balloon!

Random! You roll a 53.

Karaleo Palaleo noticed the bug awfully hated having its web damaged. "I wonder what will happen if I can shoot some more holes in it..." Nocking a trio of arrows, Pal drew back and fired at the big web to hopefully shred it as much as possible.

Random! Karaleo Palaleo rolls a 664.

Yakih'ra Vashai just stared at the bug in annoyance, none of his attacks were hitting and even worse in front of Yehna. His ego had taken a hit. With a sigh the Keeper walked and gave a very unamused shot of wind aether at it's tail. "What about ice?" His ears flicked in Yehna's direction while hearing the woman talk to herself.

Random! Yakih'ra Vashai rolls a 387.

(Yakih'ra Vashai) *stares*

Yehna Epocan sighs and decides inceration usually works. With her carbuncle's help she casts a fire spell attempting to burn its webbing to ash.

Random! Yehna Epocan rolls a 641.

(Karaleo Palaleo) fire is the way

(Khashin Gharl) <se.1> !!![Something is happening! Please keep to banter!]!!!

Yehna Epocan: "Yakih'ra, elementally ice should negate its attacks... but I don't have any ice spells! Do you have something monk-like with ice?"

Yakih'ra Vashai: "I do actually."

Khashin Gharl | Tupo remained on the defensive as the assault continued, easily dodging Servon’s and Yaki’s attacks, but between attacking it and the cocoon, Gusta managed to get a solid strike against the Tail! As it hissed in pain, the combined efforts of Khashin, Karaleo, and Yehna finally tore enough of the webbing to allow the wind aether to all burst free!

Khashin Gharl The vilekin was blasted around for a few moments before getting slammed into the ground hard, laying on its back while its legs and tail squirmed about! It was defenseless in its current state!

Yehna Epocan: "Murder it in its dumb bug face with ice!"

Karaleo Palaleo lets out a cheer.

(Khashin Gharl) Massive damage done from breaking ballon, all attacks will now do damage! It also will have no attacks this round!))

(Khashin Gharl) <se.4> !!![Attack Resume!]!!!

Augusta Aventurine laughed maniacally as it lay on the ground in front of her. She stabbed down hard with her spear, looking to end  and crack its shell. Or if nothing else pin it down so everyone else can whollop it.

Random! Augusta Aventurine rolls a 579.

(Yakih'ra Vashai) that moment I never farmed the Shiva mnk weapons on Yaki....

Khashin Gharl "Press our advantage!" Khashin shouted as loud rings filled the area. A perfect stone cube dislodged itself from one of the island above, quickly crashing down on the vilekin!

Random! You roll a 229.

Servon Faucheux jumped backwords almost losing his footing as he slid, as he held the sword again, having a second he adjusted his sign, so more water flowed, creating almost a zwheindler sized sword he dashed forward and attempted to pierce the carpace with the fast running water,"May the Fury take you he growled under his breath.

Random! Servon Faucheux rolls a 566.

(Servon Faucheux) take you." He growled*)

Karaleo Palaleo grinned and cheered as the vilekin slammed to the ground. "Aw yeah, take that ya big creep! And one more too!" He released another shot at the tail--just a plain arrow, but as an archer his goal was more on disabling key parts of the creature than causing raw damage.

Random! Karaleo Palaleo rolls a 144.

Yakih'ra Vashai gave a quick nod of his head, sheathing the blades on the gloves Yakih'ra slammed his fists together to form ice around them. It crawled up along his arms and spiked out in random directions. With a low growl the Keeper went after the downed target and his fists went flying, bits of ice spikes would be left behind with every punch.

(Yakih'ra Vashai) Watch me roll a 0

Random! Yakih'ra Vashai rolls a 791.

S'era Rarku saw her opportunity and took it, taking the wind aether surrounding her and changing it into lightning. *CRAAACK!* She dashed forward with her blade once again leaving the sheathe, slashing horizontally as she reappeared on the other side.

Random! S'era Rarku rolls a 567.

Yehna Epocan slams her spell book shut and casts a simple but potent spell thatattempts to inflict festering aetherburns across the vilekin's carapace.

Random! Yehna Epocan rolls a 709.

(Khashin Gharl) <se.1> !!![Something is happening! Please keep to banter!]!!!

Servon Faucheux nearly jumped in his place," Era that was bad ass." He said simply, he wished he was that gifted, his attempts at any aetherical bladework looked clumsy and novice compared.

Khashin Gharl | Topupuhi ets out screeches of pain from the onslaught! Without warning it whips its tail around, even in melee range in danger from the strike! Once getting itself some room, it desperately rolls over and starts limping to the edge of the platform!

(Khashin Gharl) S'era, Servon, Yakih, and Gusta roll please!))

Random! Yakih'ra Vashai rolls a 889.

Random! S'era Rarku rolls a 665.

Random! Augusta Aventurine rolls a 164.

Random! Servon Faucheux rolls a 491.

(Khashin Gharl) Yaki and S'era are fine, Servon takes a hit but is still in the fight. Gusta takes a nasty hit from that stinger, that's what you get for wearing your midrift dragoon armor! She loses her next attack!

(Khashin Gharl) <se.4> !!![Attack Resume!]!!!

(Khashin Gharl) actually I'm gonna roll to defend gusta

Random! You roll a 520.

(Augusta Aventurine) if it's on the ground sweeping its tail one would think it woudl go for the legs

(Khashin Gharl) She takes a hit but is fine, but it's tail was thrashing about so it could've gotten a bit higher!))

(Khashin Gharl) <se.4> !!![Attack Resume!]!!!

Servon Faucheux managed to dodge most of the stinger but a claw cug through his chest armor, dropping a splatter of blood in front of him , he growled in pain as the huge sword of aether shrunk back to normal as he took a step back, he shook himself slightly as he adjusted his grip, and jumped into the air akin to a novice dragoon and dove straight for the creatures eyes, sword first.

Random! Servon Faucheux rolls a 469.

(Servon Faucheux) gdmnit

(Yehna Epocan) it sounded cool))

(S'era Rarku) Might wanna move away from that spot lolz

(Yehna Epocan) he's spawning faster)

Khashin Gharl watches as the beast desperately flails about near everyone. With a quick ring of his staff, the block of stone he used to attack moved upwards, taking the brunt of the stinger but still slamming into Gusta a bit hard. "Apologies, but far better than the barb." He called out to her.

S'era Rarku dug her boots into the rocks to slow down, finally sliding to a halt before spinning on a heel and striking again, this time aiming for the claw with Servon's blood!

Random! S'era Rarku rolls a 983.

Augusta Aventurine flashes Khashin a smile. She didn't ask for the armor to show its midrift, but it may as well be as effective as normal clothes. She had enough though, she wasn't fond of getting stabbed by that tail. She quicly leaped into the air and tried to bury her spear in the mite.

Random! Augusta Aventurine rolls a 216.

(Augusta Aventurine) lol

Yehna Epocan starts to follow after the vilekin trying to escape the platform. "Don't let it get away or it will make another balloon!" Yehna casts her festering aether spell on Topupuhi again.

Random! Yehna Epocan rolls a 963.

Karaleo Palaleo panted with the onset of exhaustion. This was more fighting than he'd done in a while and the hike up the mountain had taken its toll. His eyes growing wide as Servon was attacked, he took up his bow and quickly followed S'era's attack to the claw with an arrow aimed at the same dangerous hotspot.

Random! Karaleo Palaleo rolls a 707.

Yakih'ra Vashai slammed his hands down to the ground and the ice that had first covered the mite was starting to spread along its body, and if possible to the ground to hold it in place for the rest of the group. It wasn't an easy task with such a large target but damn he was trying to keep it from running too far.

Random! Yakih'ra Vashai rolls a 439.

(Yakih'ra Vashai) brb real quick

(Khashin Gharl) <se.1> !!![Something is happening! Please keep to banter!]!!!

(Yakih'ra Vashai) back

(Servon Faucheux) wb!

Khashin Gharl | The vilekin hurried as much as it could in its damaged state to get over the edge, but the group was too quick for it. As Yakih’ra held it in place, ice slowly building where he held, the claw S’era and Karaleo struck got severed as its body was wracked with the painful magics from Yehna. Gusta’s spear managed to find a part in the carapace, piercing its innards, while Servon’s sword broke through the head.

Khashin Gharl |With a final hiss and a lot of twitching the beast perished, body slowly curling up before the group.

Yehna Epocan: "Ewww."

S'era Rarku sheathes her weapon.

Augusta Aventurine let outa light grunt as she pulled her spear from the corpse and then wiped it on the stones around her.

Khashin Gharl hurried toward the group. "Does anyone require healing?" of course before he did that, he returned the cube of stone he used to attack from wence it came.

Augusta Aventurine smiles at you.

Yakih'ra Vashai releases his connection from the ice and takes a deep breath, standing up from his crouching position he dusted himself off of any fragments of ice left behind.

Karaleo Palaleo collapsed on his rear from exhaustion the moment the vilekin went down. Still panting, he caught his breath while watching to make sure it was dead, then looked over everyone else. "Looks like we came out fairly okay...but I'm beat!"

S'era Rarku kicked the claw away before moving to Servon, her hand feeling around the puncture in his breastplate. "Does it hurt? Can you breathe alright?"

Augusta Aventurine: "I'm fine thanks to you... thanks Khashin."

Yehna Epocan plants a little kiss on Yakih'ra's cheek. "You were great!"

Servon Faucheux sheathed his sword, and nodded as he stepped off the creature as he held her hand gently to his chest,"Tis but a scratch, warmed by your hand.. I am not so weak to go down from such a thing.. though,  it did take quite a few hits."

Karaleo Palaleo: "Yeah it looked like that claw got you pretty good. Are you still bleeding?"

Yakih'ra Vashai ears perked up and a soft blush formed on his cheeks. "Not as great as you." He said while leaning forward to connect to their foreheads then pressed a kiss to the same spot.

Khashin Gharl nodded. "Yes...It is strange that an armor such as that is missing a large portion of it though. I would recommend something that would make it less easy for something to disembowl you." he offered sagely before turning his attention to Servon.

S'era Rarku: "We need to eat the heart while it's still warm, so we may steal its strength."

Karaleo Palaleo looks at S'era Rarku in surprise.

Augusta Aventurine gazes upon you in deep reflection.

Servon Faucheux shrugged," I've gotten many manners of injury, this is minor compared to some, a small scar to tell a tale."

Augusta Aventurine: "That's normally not too much of a problem. This armor was made for dragons after all... disembowling is what they do. Right Serv?"

Karaleo Palaleo expresses his worry with Servon Faucheux.

Augusta Aventurine expresses her worry with Servon Faucheux.

Servon Faucheux shrugged," Normally dragons eat people whole, or just crush all their bones."

Yehna Epocan giggles when Yakih'ra kisses her forehead. Then she scoops up her carbuncle, "And you were great too!" She nearly drops her carbuncle in shock when S'era states they should eat the heart. "Noooo, I'm not eating eat."

Augusta Aventurine: "Is Serv okay?"

Yehna Epocan: that*

Karaleo Palaleo: "No he's bleeding but he's actin like a tough guy!"

Augusta Aventurine expresses her worry with Karaleo Palaleo.

Servon Faucheux: "I'm fine I'm fine.. I'm not so weak to bleed out over something like this."

Khashin Gharl "Be still." he tells Servon regardless, swinging his staff in elegant movements, healing water washing over Serv until his wound is healed. "Considering it spat poison," he motioned to the discolored and burnt part of his robes over his chest. " I would not recommend eating the organs."

Servon Faucheux used his good arm to lift up his bad arm as he loosend the bands on the armor plate, a small salve bottle came out, as he let the healer work but also spread his medical salve over em," If you cut through creatures properly, shouldn't be a problem."

S'era Rarku moves away from Servon and pulls out her carving knife. She wasn't sure where the heart was... but all creatures have one, right? She drives the serrated blade into the belly and begins pulling, cutting, and prodding for it. "As long as I avoid the poison sacks it should be edible."

Servon Faucheux: "Just can't hit their glands and all that."

Karaleo Palaleo: "Are we sure the claws weren't poisonous too? I hope his wound wasn't infected."

Servon Faucheux: "I'm thankfully immune to m ost poisons."

Khashin Gharl: "True...but given our last attacks it could of been punctured."

Karaleo Palaleo: "Oh! That's really cool. Nice!"

Servon Faucheux: "My body was able to live through a named wyvern's venom."

Servon Faucheux: "It was nearly a full moon of agnozing pain.. but it comes with a few minor perks."

Servon Faucheux: "Your shot was clean and firm even in this wind, you could man a dragon-killer with ease young Karaleo."

Khashin Gharl watched her cut the unfamilair beast to her, unconvinced.

Karaleo Palaleo sees Servon Faucheux and blushes with embarrassment.

(Khashin Gharl) give me a roll Coroh

Random! S'era Rarku rolls a 867.

(S'era Rarku) Looks like heart's BACK on the menu, BOYS

Karaleo Palaleo: "Aww me? Sucks. I only got a few lucky shots in. I totally fumbled a couple! Kind of embarassing but I'm rusty!~"

Yehna Epocan says aside to Yakih'ra "If I see S'era eat that thing, I won't be able to eat for a week."

(Khashin Gharl) s'era miraculously avoids the poison glads and somehow they weren't damaged during the fight xD))

Karaleo Palaleo: shucks*)

Servon Faucheux: "Augusta, I"m glad you are okay as well, and happy you managed well."

Augusta Aventurine smiles at Karaleo Palaleo.

Augusta Aventurine: "You did good Pal!"

Augusta Aventurine nods to Servon Faucheux.

Karaleo Palaleo sees Augusta Aventurine and blushes with embarrassment.

Servon Faucheux turned to Yehna," Actually, it likely tastes similar to lobster Miss Yehna."

Augusta Aventurine: "Same to you Serv... you were really cool today."

Yakih'ra Vashai: "Not even if I bring you homemade cheesecake with rolanberries on top?"

Augusta Aventurine scans the area around S'era Rarku.

Augusta Aventurine pokes Servon Faucheux.

Augusta Aventurine winks at Servon Faucheux.

Servon Faucheux face flushed.

Augusta Aventurine motions joyfully to Servon Faucheux.

Karaleo Palaleo: "I'll admit it didn't go as bad as I thought. Maybe I'll take up my hunting bow again next time."

Servon Faucheux: "Ahm.. Maybe." He said simply before looking away.

Augusta Aventurine beams with delight at Servon Faucheux.

Yehna Epocan ears twich at the mention of lobster and cheesecake with rolanberries. "No, it's completely gross and will ruin girls' night."

Servon Faucheux: "I think I have an old iron bow I don't use anymore Ser Karaleo... If wanted ..."

Augusta Aventurine gazes upon S'era Rarku in deep reflection.

Karaleo Palaleo beams at Servon Faucheux.

Augusta Aventurine: "What are you doing Era?"

S'era Rarku yanks out a strange looking organ and holds it aloft. It wasn't pumping-- mainly because the creature was dead, but she was sure it was the heart. She ran a finger over a cut and licked it, nodding in satisfaction. "This must be it. The source of the mite's strength."

Servon Faucheux: "And thank you Khashin for the healing once more."

Augusta Aventurine is taken aback by S'era Rarku.

Karaleo Palaleo: "You do? I'd love a heavier bow!"

Augusta Aventurine: "Oh... um... I'm sure you're right..."

Khashin Gharl finished his healing on Servon, stowing his staff. "An admirable foe and beast. I'm sure it's chitin would prove usefull as well, as air aspected as the beast is.

Karaleo Palaleo agrees wholeheartedly with Servon Faucheux.

(Khashin Gharl) give me another roll coroh

Augusta Aventurine slowly backed away from the miqo'te, trying to fade into the crowd.

Servon Faucheux nodded," I used to have to carry one as a temple knight, I have no need for su ch."

Random! S'era Rarku rolls a 241.

Servon Faucheux: "Drop by my room sometime, be happy to hand it over and share some ishgardian tea."

Karaleo Palaleo: "Well I have never been too proud to accept a handout, so if you want to be rid of it I would be happy to take it off your hands."

Karaleo Palaleo nods to Servon Faucheux.

(Khashin Gharl) While the heart is unpoisoned, the strange organ pulled out is the web sack or glands or something))

(S'era Rarku) Close enough

Yakih'ra Vashai wrapped an arm around Yehna and brought her close to hide her away from the feast that was about to happen. "Just don't look at it, and just think of all the desserts you love." He leaned closer to whisper into her ear. "Just as long as I'm the favorite one." He was grinning like an idiot.

(Yakih'ra Vashai) That's one way to floss your teeth

Servon Faucheux took out his sword again, as he went to the massive claw that pierced him, and started to cut into it.

(Khashin Gharl) starts chewing and blowing bubbles with web like gum))

Karaleo Palaleo looks at S'era Rarku in surprise.

Random! Servon Faucheux rolls a 584.

S'era Rarku: "Everyone, quick! Gather around! We need to eat it before the soul returns to the flow!"

Karaleo Palaleo looks at S'era Rarku in shock!

Karaleo Palaleo: "Is she nuts?!"

Khashin Gharl: "As we are unsure it is untainted with poison, I shall abstain from your custom."

Augusta Aventurine said wuietly as she hid behind the large Au'ra, "Oh... I'll pass this time..." she said quietly as she continued to slink away.

Servon Faucheux managed well enough to put some into a small chill bag he had, Coco could make some fantastic poor mans lobster out of this. "Tis a warrior's way, plus again, tis not unlike lobster.. Likely boiled with some butter this will be fantastic."

Servon Faucheux: "Think about a gigantoad stew, or something similar, the entire beast is used, tis just unrefined."

Yehna Epocan squeals and starts blushing, but no one can hear why. "Ah, Yakih'ra! That's too SPICY to say in public," she says loud enough that everyone can hear her.

S'era Rarku lifted it to her mouth and sank her teeth into it, with a soupy liquid squirting out from either sides of her mouth. She grimaced as she yanked her head back and forth, finding it far more chewy than she expected. "Ish goohd!" She assured, holding it out for someone else to try.

Servon Faucheux took out his hunting knife, and cute off a piece downing it without an issue or worry. And then went back to the other claw to work on getting more prime claw meat for some tasty snacks.

(Khashin Gharl) oh man I forgot about that meteor thing he has))

Augusta Aventurine 's ears perked up and she was instantly interestedin what Yakhi'ra and Yehna were doing... but she stifled her curiousity to escape Era. Not this time!

Karaleo Palaleo looks at S'era Rarku in shock!

Yakih'ra Vashai just laughed at her reaction. "Apologies, my moon, I'll get you some sweets to make up for it."

Servon Faucheux: "Tis not good nor bad.. just is I suppose.. But does have a big of that shellfish taste."

(Yakih'ra Vashai) Gotta use that cosmic power

Karaleo Palaleo: "What! You couldn't pay me to eat that! ...actually yes you could, but that's the only way that I'm doing it! Gross!"

Servon Faucheux: "Needs more salt though.."

Karaleo Palaleo disagrees.

Servon Faucheux shrugged, and kept hacking away.

Random! Servon Faucheux rolls a 830.

S'era Rarku swallowed and wiped at her mouth. "Eating it will give you the beast's strength. If it weren't for Tabuu'uuk's strength, we would have perished today. This is known."

S'era Rarku: "Eat the heart."

S'era Rarku concentrates on Karaleo Palaleo.

Augusta Aventurine: "Well... um.... I'll see you all back at Heartwood!"

Karaleo Palaleo disagrees with S'era Rarku.

Karaleo Palaleo: "Notta chance! Yucky! Gross! Get it away!"

S'era Rarku shrugs at Karaleo Palaleo.

Yehna Epocan | The carbuncle perks upwhen it hears about sweets. It snuggles up into Yakih'ra's arms. Yehna sighs, "Definitely sweets and not bug lobster."

Karaleo Palaleo: "Besides, I don't think it actually works like that."

S'era Rarku: "Fine. Servon and I will savor this victory."

Yehna Epocan waves to Augy "Are you heading back already?"

Karaleo Palaleo gazes upon S'era Rarku in deep reflection.

Augusta Aventurine nods to Yehna Epocan.

S'era Rarku looks to Servon Faucheux expectantly.

Augusta Aventurine: "Want to come with me?"

Yakih'ra Vashai held the carbuncle like a baby like the proud carbuncle father he was.

Augusta Aventurine smiles at Karaleo Palaleo.

Karaleo Palaleo: "I'm getting outta here. I need something real to eat that isn't an organ..."

Augusta Aventurine nods to Karaleo Palaleo.

Augusta Aventurine offers Pal her hand. "I'll head back with you~"

Karaleo Palaleo agrees wholeheartedly with Augusta Aventurine.

Karaleo Palaleo beams with delight at Augusta Aventurine.

Yehna Epocan: "Yakih'ra are you ready to go? I think Bunky is ready to go too."

S'era Rarku: "Hey! HEY!"

S'era Rarku points at Augusta Aventurine.

Karaleo Palaleo bids farewell.

Augusta Aventurine is taken aback.

S'era Rarku: "YOU!"

Augusta Aventurine looks around.

Karaleo Palaleo looks surprised!

Augusta Aventurine admires herself.

Khashin Gharl rubbed his chin. " I don't believe it was bleeding white before..." he knelt down and picked up handful of soil. "From the earth you came, from the earth you return." he threw it over the corpse of the vilekin. "May this soil mark your death, and guide you to your next life."

Augusta Aventurine: "Me?"

Yakih'ra Vashai nodded. "If you'd like to head back with Augusta to the house I can stop somewhere and grab you two something sweet and an actual meal as well. Is that alright with you? Or would you prefer me to go straight to the house with you?"

Augusta Aventurine pokes Karaleo Palaleo.

S'era Rarku: "Where do you think you're going?! You are Seeker-kin. The halfling may cower from this bounty but you have a reputation to uphold!"

Servon Faucheux finished collecting all the prime claw meat,  it was an impressive amount, as well as the eye chitin piece he cracked for proof of kill.

Augusta Aventurine is taken aback by S'era Rarku.

Karaleo Palaleo nods to Augusta Aventurine.

Augusta Aventurine: "Run Pal!"

S'era Rarku is taken aback by Augusta Aventurine.

Yakih'ra Vashai: "Halfling?"

Servon Faucheux tilted his head,"It's really not bad.."

(Augusta Aventurine) lol

Khashin Gharl "I intend to journey this land further, and study this floating earth. Well fought everyone." and with an eastern bow he started off back towards the Vundu Settlement.

Yehna Epocan: "Well, I never say no to a meal. And this was girls night.-- Hmmm," Yehna pauses when she hears S'era say halfling.

(Karaleo Palaleo) ty ty for the rp everybody

(S'era Rarku) Ye!

(Augusta Aventurine) ye!

(Yehna Epocan) ty!!))

(Yakih'ra Vashai) ty as well!

(Khashin Gharl) Yeah thanks all!

Servon Faucheux looked over at Era,"Before we head back to the ship, Care for a walk Era."

S'era Rarku: "Only if your wound is properly healed. And only after you take part in this bounty."

S'era Rarku raised the gross and gooey organ to Servon.

Servon Faucheux raised his brow,"I already did, so slow did your eyes miss it?"

Yakih'ra Vashai picked Yehna up with his free arm before placing the carbuncle in her lap then carried her bridal style. "Do not listen to that word, you simply hold the beauty of both the sun and moon." He didn't let Yehna see it but there was an anger surging through him, keep it calm. Pressing a kiss to her forehead the Keeper went off on his way back to the house to feed Yehna and the carbuncle.

The sight of Servon Faucheux springs a question to S'era Rarku's mind.

Servon Faucheux took out his knife and cut another small piece, downing it with no issues," Tis just a bit plain tasting.. not much besides the chew overall.. not bad though, As for my wound. The healer did fine."

Servon Faucheux: "So worried about me now?"

Yehna Epocan doesn't actually complain this time just cuddles her carbuncle and starts rambling at length about different kinds of sweets to Yakih'ra.

S'era Rarku: "I must have been yelling at Augusta to notice. Can you believe nobody cares about stealing this beast's strength? What a waste!"

Servon Faucheux also eyes the two behind Era," You two are utterly adorable."

S'era Rarku nods to Servon Faucheux.

Yehna Epocan: "Bye, Mr. Servon!.... And S'era."

S'era Rarku bids farewell to Yehna Epocan.

Servon Faucheux shrugged,"Tis others ways as you know.. but of all things to turn down.. not bad.. Some people likely consider the meat a delicasy."

Servon Faucheux: "Ser Khashin thank you again as well."

S'era Rarku nods to you.

S'era Rarku: "Another victory without casualties."

Servon Faucheux: "Now I"ll lead." He said as he took Era's arm,"I'll guide you through these heavens, Do keep up"

[o-wise-corvid]

Thanks for the tag @i-will-bite! This oughtta be fun.

1. Favorite OC

Oh boy. That is so dang hard. I’m probably going to go with Orin. She started as a self-insert but her story has really just ballooned into such a lovely, juicy tragedy that I can’t even describe. Orin is really the kind of person we all aspire to be. Loving, courageous, warm. She’s very invested in family, even moreso since her retirement as General of the Clones Rights Coalition. The sense of dread hanging over her is something so special to write. To describe nameless fear. It really pushes me.

2. Newest OC

Uhhh weeeeeeell… probably the Iktochi I’m planning. I don’t really have a place for her. But I like the idea of foreknowing, that subtle sense of heightened awareness that their species has. Also the idea for an Iktochi came from Darth Cognis, from the Bane books.

3. Oldest OC

This one’s easy. S’Lus Galenn, my Ishi Tib medical sage on Naboo. He’s a sweet old feller that I HC sounds like Shadow from Homeward Bound. He’s not actually an Ishi Tib, but a being wearing the form of one. He’s part of a cosmic race known as The Born. Beings of pure Force energy who existed before the galaxy formed. He’s very caring and concerned with helping those less fortunate around Naboo, those living in the slums hidden by all the grand architecture and waterfalls.

4. Meanest OC

Ithsa Dooku. What a jerkface. What a Kevin. What a waste of good genetics. Ithsa is the offspring of Komari Vossa and Darth Maul. Don’t worry they’re not a couple; Vossa basically agreed to allow Maul to complete a mission unhindered by trading leaving him be for having sex with her. (Listen to Lockdown, that woman’s slavering after him.) Maul agreed, the act being completely meaningless and truthfully abhorrent to him. Later in life, he’ll see it as SA. The son fathered in that moment is not his son. Regardless of how similarly they look and even act. Ithsa resents his father’s opinion of him and really comes to hate Maul’s chosen child, whom he adores almost to a fault: Happenstance. Boy’s got MAJOR attitude issues.

5. Softest OC

Vagren Dragos. Him just a lil man. Just itty. He’s a very small, very impressionable little Zabrak babby, the Padawan of @crc-jedi-knight-serushna’s Serushna Leliana. To be only like. 6. He’s strong enough to have earned his tattoos before having to leave Dathomir. As a force-sensitive male, he’d have been killed had Nightsisters gotten hold of him. His leaving was better off for him and his village ultimately but in no way easy. He’s gotten his kyber crystal though and he’s learning How To Jedi very quickly. Though… he’s starting to see that not all Jedi are as wonderful as his Master and Grandmaster. And that’s a shame.

6. Aloof/Standoffish OC

That’ll be my Clone OC Fitz, CT-52622. He’s been dishonorably discharged from the GAR but the Jedi who he serves beside as Special Consultant was a Padawan during the war. Rae Dagani lost her Master on Geonosis and Fitz refused to go fight in the battle while she and her sister-Padawan held their Master’s body and wept, undefended and alone. He stayed with them against orders and was punished for insubordination. But they repaid the favor and he works with them as a freelancer and adopted member of Kitchen Sink Squad now. He’s very restrained except with his baby girl, Rae. He’s her safe hiding place and he can let down his walls with her.

7. Dumbest OC

HA. Ummmm. Hm. I think that might be a BD unit OC I’m planning. Just a ditzy little thing that would exasperate BD-1 half to death.

8. Smartest OC

That’s probably Ee’an, another of the Kitchen Sink Squad I co-own with @hotshot9. Those fellas are based on favorite characters of ours from books and movies and he’s based on Ian Malcolm from Jurassic Park. He’s all about philosophy and science, and he’ll debate you until he’s blue in the face. He’s got a massive flitterfly tattoo on his throat, wears his hair long to his shoulders, and favors leather jackets now that he’s out of armor mostly anymore. You’ll also find a trail of varactyl tracks winding up one leg and arm along an old scar he got riding one of them.

9. Besties IRL OC

Probably either Orin or Thess Sha. Thess owns a coffee shop on Naboo and breeds blarths. She’s very friendly and loves making people’s lives easier with good food and good drinks. (And free tshirts!)

Hmmmm….

@thesitharts @crc-jedi-knight-serushna @smoooothbrain @alexeithegoat @sweetiepie08 @stardustbee @eloquentmoon @eliduremaybe and anybody else who wants to join in!

Miracle Weapon Hunt Chapter 35: A Truly Heroic Tournament

Roxanne looked up at the gentleman above her and Julian, with Cassandra slowly walking off to the side. A bald shirtless man with a wonky left eye looking at her, with the working one fixated on Julian. The only thing we was wearing seemed to be very worn out black sweatpants, his shirtless body having a host of tattoos ranging from swords to skulls to…a horse with the tail circling his left nipple, for some reason? There was something about him that was oddly…attractive?

Nope. No way. Roxanne couldn't even indulge herself there. If she was even capable of actually liking people, he certainly was not what she was looking for.

"Okay, what gives there?" Julian screamed as he tried not to choke, pushing his glass eye back in.

"Sider it a small test." The man replied in his gruff voice. "And you two failed."

"Wait, what?" Roxanne asked as she scrambled to her feet. "What do you mean we failed?"

"You look like an idiot." He replied without looking at her. "You can enter, but you're almost deffo gonna hurt yourself."

"Don't listen to him, Luca and Gavin failed too."

Caoimhe helped Roxanne up and waited for her to dust herself off. "Not exactly the type of thing you'd expect, but…"

"If you can't expect one attack, how are you meant to expect the onslaught of the Legion?" She and The large guy said in unison.

"He's done this twice already."

"Do I not have a point?"

"Anyway, sign ups are that way?"

In contrast to the hotel, the basement looked like a mess. Wooden floors and a faded blue paintjob., with streamers and balloons dotted around the room. A couple circular wooden tables for registered teams to sit at. And at the end, a wooden desk that almost blended into the wall.

The three walked over to it, with all three writing their names down.

Name: Julian Torres. Ability: Life Transfer. Fighting Style: Bear reanimation.

Name: Cassandra Torres. Ability: Regeneration. Fighting Style: Relic Axe.

Name: Roxanne ?????. Ability: N/A. Fighting Style: Undecided.

The three sat at a table at the corner of the room. The battlestorms would need to sit front and centre to catch the attention of everyone else, so whatever unnecessary interactions could be avoided were all the better. Seeing as the large guy was approaching them with an annoyed look and the sign up book in his hand, that failed.

"Right." He started calmly. "Which one of you is Roxanne?"

"M-me?" Roxanne asked. He looked at her calmly, but Roxanne already felt his contempt quickly melt her insides.

"Mind asking why your fighting style is 'undecided?'"

"Well, I haven't made up my mind yet."

"You even got a fighting style?" I know about the axe girl, but I don't know much about you two."

"Mind explaining who you are, anyway?" an irritated Julian asked, clearly trying not to snap at this guy.

"Me? Name's Cutter, and I'm the one looking after you runts while Zach's with the corro squad."

"Corro?" Roxanne asked.

"Coronation." Julian answered. "Look, she hasn't made her mind up yet, why does that matter?"

"Because not being sure of something before a fight is how you get killed. We got people for injurs or limbs, but we got nothing for lives."

"She's probably boxing!"

Cutter looked over to see Caoimhe looking over the table with a flashy purple drink in her hand.

"Trained with her back in Saoloro, she at least knows the basics."

"You box?"

"I mean, I dabble in a couple things, and boxing is one of them." This was one of the biggest lies she's told yet. She had to get grieving kids off her a couple times back in Miracle, but she resorted to either calling someone else or pepper spraying them if she absolutely had to. She's never directly laid a hand on a kid outside a quick shove.

Cutter opened his mouth to question her, but some more people entered the basement. Cutter immediately leapt to slam them all to the ground. The first one ducked underneath his arms, cartwheeling into the crowd and leaping back onto her feet with a series of finger snaps. The second more muscular one actually managed to throw Cutter's arm back and get behind him. The last one merely got slammed into the ground like Roxanne and Julian did, only for him to chuckle and slowly get back up.

"Yo guys, I think your stairs are uneven. You might wanna look into that."

"No Gam, you just got…" The muscular guy started.

"We can let him figure it out." The girl said calmly. "Our introductions are more important."

"Oh hey, it's the clowns." Julian whispered.

The girl pointed towards the couple dozen people sitting down. Her hair was blonde in the centre but the ends were magenta as they stopped at her shoulders, the same magenta was used for her face paint, which had a spade on her left eye and an upside down one on her right. She wore neck ruffles and fingerless gloves, only the white gloves looked more like a cartoon character's. She wore a short magenta jacket, opened to reveal the cartoon frog on her purple shirt. The outfit ended with just ordinary jeans and skater shoes.

"Salutations, asshats!" She said loudly. "Now, I hope you are all prepared for the festivities!"

"We didn't set up any?"

The girl placed a gloved hand on Cutter's mouth.

"You invited us, that's good enough! So, I would like to introduce the third ranked hero group, the Kerobons! To my left is my buddy Zee, and behind us is Gam. And I am your immaculate Capri!"

She held for an applause that didn't come, and Zee casually picked up Gam and sat them both down at a table. Both were dressed more like traditional clowns instead of the streetwear type outfit Capri was rocking. Gam was a scrawny looking weirdo wearing a neon blue jester's outfit with the same cartoon frog on each sleeve, with neck ruffles and a neon blue top hat, with straight dark blue hair underneath that went down to his shoulders. Zee was an incredibly muscular guy with a green afro style haircut and green clown pants, with a plain white t-shirt. Gam had a blue heart painted on each eye while Zee had green diamonds.

"I am begging you, keep your heads down until the next team arrives." Julian asked the other two.

This didn't take long until the next two players emerged. Cutter did his thing, only for one of the girls to deflect his attack and move past him, carrying the other past him on her shoulder to the sign ups.

"Well well well, if it isn't Miss Stone herself." Julian asked from behind her.

The woman turned around with a contorted grin.

"Well well well, if it isn't Julian. How's the dead bear going?"

"Not bad." Julian grinned. "Still rocking the rocks?"

Roxanne got a good look at the two women in front of Julian. A short woman with blonde hair and some attempt at a royal demeanour, dressed in a black gown that looked more suited for mourning then fighting crime. The woman behind her was a hulking muscular figure in a cyan dress that clearly needed to be replaced with how worn out it was. her black hair was sorted into a ponytail, and her nostrils were flaring from behind her partner. Both wore ordinary rocks on their necks as if they were fancy necklaces.

"The rocks are great around here, I thought you'd know that in your infinite wisdom."

"What can I say, I know about it about as much as you know about not losing thieves in alleyways."

"At least I'm respected enough to stay in the hero business."

"At number two."

"Not if you wanna help me during the tournament."

"Oh, you know I'm ready."

The two had the backs of their hands hover by each other for a second, before clapping them together and quickly turning them and slapping their palms. The two girls were about to go to their tables, before noticing a woman in a pristine white dress sitting alone. The short one gave a knowing smirk to Julian, who smirked back, before they sat down.

"Short ones Fiorella, big ones Gisella. Second ranked hero group, they're a riot."

Over time, more people arrived. A lot failed at Cutter's impromptu exam and left holding their necks. The fifth ranked hero group didn't seem to turn up, but a lot of intimidating looking fighters arrived. After the room started to fill and one table was left unoccupied, cutter moved to the book, tossing it in the air in front of him and violently punching it to the other end of the room. Julian just looked at Cassandra with a look of complete bewilderment.

"Okay." Cutter started with his arms folded and a tilt of his head. "Two ninety six contestants have entered for today, with the last four already 'cided. Now, normally old Zach would explain how things work, specially this year. But he's out on 'portant Lux things. Luckily, the man managed to make a video and upload it through that internet thing, so here's that being shown to ya."

A sheet came down where the sign up book was, and Zach's face came from the projector.

"This on? 'Kay, thanks honey. Welcome, all my current competitors! Now, the Fightston games have, since the beginning of the Skyspace, the games have been a show of strength between each Grand. But now we need that more than ever. We have made the heavy decision to temporarily suspend the other aspects of the game besides the tournament, to show the Legion that we are not backing down, not when the new generation is preparing to fight as we speak! But now, for the main prize. Second, third and fourth get cash prizes, as per usual. But for first place deemed most worthy of wielding it…the Gauntlet of Fightston! Well, hopefully I'll be back soon to start everything. See you in a few days."

The assistant turned off the projector, leaving just Cutter in front of a horde of shocked faces.

"I hope you liked that. Anyway, there's the prize. Zach'll explain it when he gets back, I'm off to bed."

my babe has suffered DEEP with that brother

I know this is TV but so much of it is real life too. the audacity to want to be a politician and top gun lawyer to serve people while threatening people’s left right centre is so infuriating to me 😭 Mr. Cho’s family’s at stake because you (the politician) and your family did disgusting things and now you want to hide them. I hate these people so bad

honestly I don’t even know what this Babel evil CEO is doing at this point like they’ve not won or done anything substantial AT ALL where you go oh you’re smart or you’re playing chess or keeping us at our toes. they just kill people. they’ll make you sad by killing people but that’s all they do. senselessly murder people or buy people and that doesn’t make you smart in any world 💀✋ all y’all have is brute force

Talk

Skam month: week three, day four / missing scene

(AO3)

Even’s knee was bouncing, but he knew there wasn’t any hope in trying to get it to stop. With the amount of stress he’d been under for the past several weeks - the amount of stress he was sure this meeting was about to bring on - it was probably better to let his leg just do its thing when the alternative was exploding with anxiety.

When he left Bakka, he thought this might all go away. He’d get a fresh start at a new school, and they’d eventually forget him. It was better for everyone involved. They didn’t need to deal with him and his bullshit.

(The more rational part of him said that would have never worked. That he’d known some of them since lower secondary school, and you don’t forget someone you know that well very easily.)

Either way, it didn’t happen the way he wanted it to. Everything followed him to Nissen, turning into hushed whispers behind his back, rumors spread by people who didn’t even know him or anyone who was involved, texts sent to his boyfriend about did you hear? That Even guy? He’s fucking crazy, didn’t you know?

He woke up every morning grateful that Isak still stuck with him, despite everything. Every now and then, when he was feeling particularly low, he expected Isak to tell him he was leaving, that he was too much to deal with. Sometimes he wished that was what would happen, because then he wouldn’t be burdening him anymore. But Isak was always there, kissing his forehead and telling him he loved him when every part of his brain told Even he didn’t and cooking him shitty ramen when he couldn’t get out of bed. Even was so incredibly glad he had him.

So every morning he woke up to find that big bruise on Isak’s face, it killed him inside. That was his fault, he knew it. He might not have been the one to throw the punch, but it was him, his actions that led to it happening.

He couldn’t avoid it anymore.

The sound of his old friends talking brought him out of his thoughts, and he looked up to find them walking over. He’d set himself at a picnic table in the park they used to play basketball in. It was more neutral territory than someone’s house, and it was still Ramadan so inviting them out to eat wouldn’t have worked either.

Their conversation died off when they drew closer and saw him. Mutta gave him a bit of a smile, but everyone else looked tense. Even didn’t blame them; he knew he looked just as nervous. One by one, they sat down on the bench opposite him until there was no more room and Yousef sat at the other end of his own bench, giving him as much room as he needed.

Even looked at all of them and found every word he’d been planning to say had escaped him. He let out a shaky breath and gave them a weak smile. “Hey guys.” He finally managed to say. These guys had practically been family; it shouldn’t be this hard just to say hello. Though, perhaps given the circumstances, it was to be expected.

“Hey, Even.” Mikael was the first to speak up, giving him that crooked half smile. Even wasn’t sure the unease in his eyes was really there or Even’s subconscious was projecting it. It wouldn’t be the first time he’d done that. “It’s been a while.”

“Yeah, it has been.” Even’s smile faltered and he looked down at the table.

“We’ve been trying to get ahold of you for almost a year, man.” Adam’s voice brought him back to attention. “When you texted us… we couldn’t really believe it.”

Even sighed and nodded. “I’m sorry about all that… It just- It felt like the right thing to do. And it wasn’t. It just made things worse. So now I guess it’s time to finally talk about- about everything that happened.” He looked up and found five pairs of concerned eyes on him, waiting expectantly. He licked his lips and tried to brace himself. “How much do you guys already know?”

“Sonja, she told us you were depressed. And-” Elias cleared his throat, like the words were getting stuck before he could say them. “-we heard you tried to kill yourself.”

Even smiled, grim and tight-lipped. “That’s half of it. I-” No use hesitating about it now. “-am bipolar. I didn’t know back then. I didn’t get diagnosed until I was in the hospital, actually. All the-” He couldn’t help but look at Mikael when he said it. “-the random shit I did, it was because I was manic. I wasn’t thinking straight, it was all impulses. And then I was depressed, and it all came crashing down, and-” He fell silent. It wasn’t easy talking about this part, but they got the picture.

The guys were silent - all digesting this information, he assumed - and he looked down so as not to see their expressions. After a few minutes passed, Yousef reached over and squeezed his arm. “Why didn’t you tell us?”

Even looked up and found them all looking at him with concern deep in their eyes. A lump formed in his throat. “I thought it would’ve been easier if I just left you guys alone. I didn’t want to be a burden.”

“Even,” Mutasim’s expression was earnest and kind. “We’re your friends. We would’ve been there for you. We all thought maybe we did something wrong-”

“No.” Even interrupted him firmly. “You guys didn’t do anything wrong. It was all the fucked up chemicals in my head, you guys didn’t do anything.”

“You say that, but-” Mikael pushed some of his hair back, and the guilt in his eyes damn near killed Even. “I’m sorry about- You know. Reacting how I did. I panicked. You didn’t deserve that.”

“It’s okay. I shouldn’t have put you in that situation.” Even shook his head a little. “Everything that had been on my mind came out, and questioning my sexuality was pretty much always on my mind. Everything was confusing, and you ended up with the brunt of it.”

“Looks like you have it figured out now, though.” Mikael gestured to Even’s jacket and he remembered the pride pin he had on. “Pan, right?” His smile was slowly returning, and Even smiled back just a little.

“Yeah, that’s right. And I’ve got a boyfriend now- who, by the way, told me to tell you guys he’s really sorry for what happened at Syng.”

“He’s not the only one,” said Elias, leaning in a bit. “Tell him I’m sorry too. I didn’t even see what happened, I just saw him push Mikael over and I freaked out.”

Even heard Mikael mumble something about him being way too protective and smiled. “He doesn’t hold it against you, don’t worry. He’s been beating himself up about it for weeks, he hopes you’ll forgive him.”

“He seems like a good guy,” Adam grinned at him from across the table. “Other than pushing Mikael. I saw him sing with you, that was super cute.”

Even grinned back and nodded proudly. “He’s great. I’m really lucky to have him.”

“And you guys are happy together?” Yousef asked, and Even regretted cutting himself off from them for so long; he couldn’t ask for more supportive friends.

“Yeah, we are. We’re actually living together now.”

“What?!” Mutta’s jaw dropped, and everyone’s faces were a mixture of surprise and delight. “How long have you been dating?”

“Since November.”

“And you’re already living together? Here I was thinking Yousef was ridiculous for talking about kids before they’re even dating.” That earned Mutta a swift kick from under the table, and Even raised his eyes. He’d have to ask about that later.

“Hey!” Elias spoke suddenly, like he just remembered something, and his eyes were bright with excitement. “Did you hear about our Youtube channel?”

“What? You finally started one? You’ve been talking about that forever!”

“Forty thousand subscribers, man.” Elias preened, and Even laughed.

“That’s great! I’m gonna have to watch it.”

“You should come on some time!” Adam suggested, and there was a chorus of agreement. “If you want to, of course.”

“I will if you'll have me!” They all grinned at him before launching into another topic.

They sat there for what must have been hours, catching up on all the lost time this past year. Surrounded by the best friends he ever had, Even almost felt like he’d never left. They only left when it was starting to get dark and the promise of Iftar at the Bakkoush’s had them all eager to leave. Even could practically still feel all their hugs as he boarded the tram home and pulled out his phone.

Heading home

(Man of my life) How’d it go?

Really well They all want to interrogate you and make sure you’re treating me right

(Man of my life) Haha You told them I’m sorry for syng right???

It’s chill They all really like you

(Man of my life) I’m proud of you For doing this ❤

❤

Even locked his phone and smiled. Yeah. He was proud too.

Season 1 trailer analysis along side Doll and Uzi speculations:

Part 1

So i wanted to talk about some scenes showed in the trailer that will probably appear in EP3.

First is this shot,I mentioned this in my Thad analysis actually.

We can see 2 bodies of WDs hanging from what seems to be chains,they are upside down and lack part of their waist and completely lack legs,it seems to be some sort of gym,as there is a basketball ring in the background and we can even see a WDs head tossed in the basketball ring.

Judging by the brutality I speculate the perpetrator to be one of them:

1. SD-V:

We know she is the most sadistic and brutal of her squad,heck she even mentions how she wants to practice balloon animal shapes with Uzi in the pilot. So I wouldn’t be surprised if she did something like this. She also will be the next antagonist in EP3. But I think she has the least possibility to the perpetrator. Why? Because it seems that she will only be present at the prom room,where her fight will happen and I doubt she would get out of the ballroom.

2. Uzi Doorman:

Its no surprise Uzi will definitely fall down to cannibalistic tendencies and will try to attack or kill her own people. This could be after her encounter with tasting oil.

3. Doll:

I personally think she is most believable candidate.

Why? Well we have already seen her taste oil,well it was from a cockroach but who knows? She could have go for small insects but slowly wanting to go for something bigger. it could also be that by using her abilities the AS started to affect her even more. I also think she is related to the kitchen found in the trailer,perhaps she was the one who prep the kitchen before Uzi arrived.

Well,speaking of the kitchen with an abundance of oil I have many ideas on this place.

First,who turned the kitchen into an oily mess?

My first thought is Doll:

Doll could have done it to feed her cannibalistic tendencies,this could have been after or before her involvement with the corpses

Uzi could have found it by trying investigate Doll/the corpses at the gym or trying to get oil for N.

Uzi could have also gotten the knife from the kitchen and came back later or she got the knife from somewhere else and used the knife in the kitchen

My second thought is Uzi herself

Uzi could have used the corpses she found at the gym or at the kitchen and try to make a snack for N but later she was tempted to have a taste of oil. 

Or perhaps this was after she tasted oil and tried to cut a WDs arm to get more.

And why am so convinced that the corpses at the gym are connected to the kitchen,Doll and Uzi?

Simple. The lighting.

If there is one thing that connects the corpses and the kitchen (and maybe even Doll) is the lighting of the shots.

Both are illuminated by a reddish-orange-ish neon lighting.

Now yes,I do think that just bc of the lighting this also connects Doll is a bit of a stretch and yes it isn’t the first time the show has used red neon lighting (aka the scene where J and N were interacting in the pilot)

(Or at the Eldritch J fight when N stepped in.)

Despite this,the colors for some reason remind me of Doll and that’s because of her power light color:

We know her power light color is red,which I find interesting,just like pastel yellow is a color that no WDs has bc thats a trait only DDs have. The red power color is only used on WDs that are dead/can’t function anymore. (Trust me,at the pilot,the dismembered hand Uzi carried around temporarily had a red power color,there are also other examples but too lazy to mention all of them).

Here we can see her normal power color is normally red. Actually here we can see her P. Color is still red(I know its not very clear in this shot but trust me,just watch the EP by yourself) even after using her AS ability. Also if you look at the back some students did witness Doll’s use of abilities!

Also the symbol on her hand is actually different from the typical AS symbol

Strangely her P. Color changes to orange in her next scene,a while after her use of her ability. And just to compare,her eye symbol is that of the typically associated to the AS. Now the reason why I believe it changes to orange is because of the toll the AS is taking on her,we know the DDs P. Color is yellow and that they also contain the AS. So by logic,

red + yellow = orange

Which is peculiar as whenever the AS solver manifest on Uzi,her P. Color is still purple or changes to yellow.

So I think the reason why this only happens to Doll is bc she has been carrying the AS longer,Meanwhile Uzi just recently started manifesting.

Also fun fact,in Dolls 2nd scene,in the S1 trailer her eyes are still red! Unlike the EP itself,were its actually orange.

Speaking of Doll and the S1 trailer,I am betting all of my savings (spoiler alert,am broke) I am 100% sure she is the one saying

“You didn’t have to see this”

This line is definitely connected to the kitchen,the corpses,the AS and her. And probably even Uzi.

I would love to continue this but Tumblr over here doesn’t let me show over more than 10 pictures >:(

Dw ill make the 2nd part in no time.

[tinderbox210]

So I've come up with a Talanah/Drakka story idea, but I don't know if I'll ever write it (it would need to be multi-chapter and I'm not good at writing those, and who even wants to read a story about them from me?), so I'll put the outline here if anyone's curious:

According to the game, after parting ways with Aloy, Talanah heads back east to take Amadis to Barren Light and then intents to head back to Meridian to take care of the Hunters Lodge, so this story would happen on the way. To get back east from The Rot, they would need to cross the territory of the Desert Clan if they don't want to make a big detour north.

Yes, I made a map because I keep forgetting where all the important settlements are.

Anyway, Aloy advices Talanah to make a stop at Hidden Ember along the way to resupply and take a look at what Morlund and co. have been up to there. Shortly after Talanah and Amadis' arrival, Drakka shows up with a Tenakth squad. Usually the Desert Clan keeps out of the Still Sands, but they wanted to investigate rebel (or Sons of Prometheus) activity and whatever the hell is going on at Hidden Ember (can't tell me the Tenakth didn't notice the lightshow and ornaments in the sky). Talanah and Amadis hide at first (since they're Carja trespasssers on Tenakth territory and that's not good), but then Hidden Ember gets attacked by rebels/Prometheus with overridden machines and they can't stay out of the fight.

Turns out the rebels/Prometheus are interested in Morlund's inventions, especially the balloon which could be a great tactical advantage in warfare. Talanah helps the Tenakth fight off the attackers but recognizes one of them brought a machine lure device to attract more machines (maybe also including a Thunderjaw?), so she uses her amazing machine hunter skills and experiences to save everyone.

Her heroic deeds (and beauty) capture Drakka's attention, but as a Carja trespasser, Tenakth law demands retribution (death). Talanah notices that Drakka knows Aloy as well and she uses her connection to save her and Amadis' life (because Drakka wants to stay on Aloy's good side and killing her friend would be the opposite of that) - for now.

Drakka's still trying to find more water supplies for the Desert Clan, and after learning from Morlund of the massive water reservoir located beneath Hidden Ember, they come to an agreement that Morlund and co. can stay as long as they provide water for the Tenakth settlements (no idea if that's addressed in the game, but it would make sense).

In order to get to the water, they have to take a trip into the underground ruins of Dunehollow, which is still haunted by machines. Morlund asks Talanah to come along to protect the expedition. Amadis is against this and wants to leave, but Talanah goes anyway since she just can't resist a good machine hunt (and because that's what she wants the Hunters Lodge to be - an institution that helps and protects people instead of just trophy hunting). Underground the group gets attacked by machines (including Snapmaws or another Tideripper?) and Drakka ends up being flung into a deep pool of water. Since being from the desert, he doesn't know how to swim and Talanah jumps in after him to save him from drowning (with some underwater "kissing" (exchange of oxygen) happening and maybe also a romantic balloon flight afterwards?).

After saving his life, Drakka grants her and Amadis safe passage through Desert Clan territory though he doesn't want Talanah to leave yet and tries to pursue her to stay by baiting her with more machines to hunt that no Carja has ever fought before. Rumors has it a Slaughterspine (or a Dreadwing?) has entered Desert Clan territory from the west coast and Talanah can't resist Drakka's offer to get such unique trophy (and also she doesn't want to leave yet either).

She sends Amadis off to return to Barren Light without her and sets out with Drakka in search of the killer machine, and while traveling together, sparks fly between them despite both of them knowing, they'll have to part ways soon and will probably never see each other again :(

After successfully killing the machine and saying goodbye to Drakka after a night full of passion, Talanah finally returns to Barren Light where she meets up with Aloy and tells her about her adventure with the Desert Clan commander. She feels torn between her loyalty/duty to the Hunters Lodge and her wish to modernize old Carja structures and her desire to return to the West, where she experienced a new kind of freedom, and her grown feelings for Drakka.

So what is she supposed to do?

Leave me unsupervised and I come up with the weirdest and rarest of rare ships again, like this:

Still replaying HFW and was suddenly struck by ship feels for these two with no idea where they come from since they don't even interact in the game.

But after giving it more thought, they could work in a fun way, like in scandalous romance trope kind of way with the Carja noble falling for the Tenakth "savage". They both don't care much for outdated traditions, Talanah knows how to deal with smug bastards and Drakka would definitely be swooning over her hunting prowess. And let's be real, Talanah deserves some fun in the desert after the mess with the other guy who's name I can never remember.

Also the famous Thunderjaw hunter and the infamous Thunderjaw magnet feels destined!

And I just saw there are 2 and a half stories with them on AO3 so I'm not utterly alone in this madness.

Take me to Church ↬ a.r

requested by @merceret​: Arvin and cheerleader!Reader sneak off during the night and have smut in his car in the woods? 👀🙃

A/N: this is a repost from my old account!

Warnings: unprotected semi-public sex ( *whispers* they do it in a caaaar 👀 also don’t be a loner, cover your boner ✌🏽✌🏽 ) LOT OF SPOILERS IN THIS!! Bad attempt at writing like a 64 year old man from Ohio.

MINORS DNI

WC: 1.5k

Pairing: Arvin Russell x Cheerleader!Reader

Masterlist || taglist

Arvin was a smart boy. He had been told that countless times by his mother before the godforsaken disease took her away, and his daddy too, before he started beating the shit out of him.

He didn’t doubt that a minute in his life, but then he grew up, wondering what went wrong. He was not the same doe eyed boy anymore. He liked to think that he was strong, not like his daddy used to tell him before a good spanking.And he definitely wasn’t a sinner, no, he was just a victim of God’s wrath. It wasn’t his fault that the boys made fun of his sister, they all deserve the beating they got.

Breathing in the cigarette, he blew out the smoke before it could burn his lungs, or kill him from the same disease that killed his ma. He was sitting on the front porch of his school, watching as people went by. The jocks wandering around the field, some of the artistic ones sketching while eating their lunches, and then there was the cheerleading squad.

He watched. It’s what he did a lot. He watched as cancer took his mother, he watched the way the fake Preacher looked at Lenora.

“You know, one of those sticks take six minutes of your life.” A voice spoke behind him. You sat besides him, your cheerleader costume showing your smooth legs and your pretty smile, hair done in an updo.

“And how would you know that?” He smirked, looking you up as you blush. God you looked so pretty, blushing like that. He watched you too. How you would roam the halls with your pom poms and those pompous sons of bitches that teased his sister. But it was never You. You were a sweet little girl, always got As in all your tests and all.

“I always tell that to my daddy to get him to quit. Tell him that it’s six minutes less he gets to spend with me.” You said, taking the stick from his hand and smashing the butt on the ground. You fiddled with your skirt, accidentally hiking it up your thigh.

“Did he listen?” He asked, looking at You as You smiled.

“No.”

He looked at you again. You were looking at him with your shiny eyes, all innocent and bright. He wondered what you would say when he fucked you hard against his old car, scoring through the woods and scream his name until you were sore. Shaking himself from his head, he saw you biting your lips. He wasn’t even sure You liked him like that.

Craving for another smoke, he fiddled with his hands, taking your hands instead, looking for a reaction. You didn’t snatch it back, but instead, straddled his lap to pull him into a heated kiss. Your nails scraped at his hair, the smooth strands getting ruffled up as you push your lips on his, uncaring of the others around them.

You moaned against his mouth, the sound going straight South. Taking your waist, he squeezed them lightly, crazy happy that he was making out with You, Y/N L/N, under the bleachers like some cheesy films like those in the Carnivals.

“You wanna ditch class?” He asked after sometime, heaving for a breath as you licked your swollen lips. Your makeup was a little smeared, but You still looked beautiful. His heart sped up, uncharacteristically, a strange rush of excitement flooding his veins.

“Yeah. How bout the woods?” You said, getting off from his lap. He was glad the ground was almost empty, wouldn’t want to get caught by some old janitor or a nosy freshman.

“Sounds good to me.” He said and crashed his lips into hers to steal another kiss.

                                      _______________________

“Oh! this is good” You whimpered as he slammed your back to the hood of his car, gripping you in his strong hold as the cicadas and crickets chirped, the bright sun hitting your naked chest through the windows, making it slick with sweat. You were in a forest, and were sure that no one would come now, and with the noises you were making? No one would dare come near the shaking car.

Kissing him with your swollen lips, you gripped his muscular back as he nipped you, eliciting another moan from you. He grabbed your legs, hiking up the skirt that you were still wearing. God the damned skirt, you wanted it out of your way. Slipping your hands to unlatch it, you were stopped by his hands as he slid his own on your clothed pussy. Stripping you, your breath hitched as he inserted two fingers, your clit slicked with pleasure.

“Ohh Arvin, hmm.” You breathed into his ears, enjoying the way he shuddered when you said his name. Pulling for a moment, he looked you up and down before removing his boxers awkwardly, head slanting because of the roof, his thick cock springing out like nobody’s business, making you clench your thighs.

Shoving your thighs, you hooked your legs around him, pulling him down as he slid in your entrance. “Are you sure?” He breathed as you nodded in response, stroking his chest that made him clench, his abs more visible under the sunlight.

“Come on baby, I’m waiting.” You teased, scratching your nails along the V of his stomach. Arching your back, you grunted as he thrusted into you, your walls closing in as your hips clashed against each other.

“You like that baby girl? Like it when I’m inside you?” He cooed, making your stomach coil in pleasure. Momentarily, you gave up the sweet girl facade, your heart racing as if you had run a marathon. How could it be tame? when he was inside you, making you feel all kinds of things?

“Yes, I do Arvin, oh Jesus you’re amazing!” You jerked. You weren’t sure when you had had such a good fuck before, and sure enough never this fast had you reached your high. And Arvin? Jesus, he was a sight for sore eyes, his eyes clenched as he pushed inside your walls, hitting your g-spot, making you gasp in pleasure. His muscled chest vibrating as you felt your stomach tighten.

“Saying God’s name like that while we’re fucking? You wanna be a bad girl now?” He smirked later, not really meaning what he said. If it meant that you would be saying his name with that pretty mouth of yours, he wouldn’t mind it.

“This is not sin, baby, this is pleasure. Call it what you want but I said what I said.” You drawled, pulling yourself up, his hard dick still inside you as you sat up, taking his face in your hands and hovering your lips over his. “You’re so sweet Arvin, you wanna fuck again?”

“I would love to.” He said shakily, leaning forward to capture your lips again. You dance along like that, him kissing your mouth, and your neck, then your breasts, leaving marks all over you, The Backstreet Boys playing on the junk radio of his car. “You’re the prettiest girl I’ve ever seen.”

“And you have the prettiest little lips.” You said, holding his chin and delicately caressing his soft lips and leaning in for another kiss.

                                 ____________________________

The next day you saw him again, acid washed jacket and backwards cap, striped T-shirt that fit him quite snugly. He was walking with the girl again, the girl who the boys teased relentlessly. You didn’t understand why they did so, make a poor girl question herself when those whores out there were just as bad. Lenora was a sweet girl, you liked her.

Running towards him, you quickly fixed your sweater and skirt, taming the strands near your shoulder.

“Hey Arvin!” You said nervously. He had been a gentleman to you. He looked up smiling, telling Lenora to make her way as you, lighting a smoke on his way. Scowling, you took the stick out of his mouth.

Looking down, he smiled, “Hey Y/N.”

He was fiddling with his fingers again. You took his hands in yours, tracing the veins on his arms. You saw his pupils inflate like a balloon.

“So um, do you have practice today?” He asked, biting his bottom lip and giving you a tentative smile.

“Nah, coach called in sick today. Do you wanna go to Mickey-D’s?” You ask. The school lane was almost empty now, buses leaving to drop off the kids.

“Sure, I don’t have no work today anyways.” He stuffed his hands in his pocket. He was a handsome boy, and you felt extremely lucky that someone like him had asked you to do him in the backseat of a car. Not only that but he was sweet but not enough to not stand up for himself or the others. With a start, you realised that he wasn’t like the other boys in your school.

Handing him his smoke back, you let your hands linger on his shoulder for a moment, cupping his cheek. You leaned in, feeling his hands twitch, and kissed him. It felt nice.

synopsis: Levi has decided to propose to Y/N after such a long tough journey and finally out of the walls. The end of the battle and the war. He wanted to live outside the walls with his only special Y/N. How will he proposal Y/N though? And how will he act?

soft & cute fluff, modern au ♡ —

Finally...Levi is going to do it 'Today'. No more backing away. He had it all planned out and everything. Why was he still...hesitant?

"I wonder how Y/N will react....will they even like the ring I got for them..?" Levi said as he was hold the ring box and looking at it.

'Wait....Will they even say yes?' He put it back on the drawer and start pacing around.

'Ugh...I cant believe this...I am actually being nervous? Fuck...I find killing 40 titans at the same time way easier than this...so much for used to being called humanity's 'strongest' solider'. Fucking hell.'

He stopped, and turned around. 'No...If I don't then someone will take Y/N away from me.' That got him back up and he finally took out the ring box he had there for a month now. He will do it. Today.

Levi is such a private man and he loves that only between you guys. Not really a big fan with bringing everyone together and all, he couldn't even think words clearly when he looks at you and stutters, so how will he do that with EVERYONE here while proposing and saying what he thinks his ‘cliché’ speech? Hell no.

He wanted it to be so special. He wanted to remember this memory and grave that in both of your minds. He was going to propose to his lover this evening.

He had the idea already figured out, and it took him around a month to prepare it and get it perfect. He was doing this all while seeing you everyday, and had to try and hide it from you. Which kind of made you a bit of suspicious. He would usually go out during the afternoon to that 'same' expensive ring shop and stand there for 3 hours trying to pick the perfect ring.

"Um...Sir, I can help you if you would like?" The retail assistant would say as she approached Levi who had such a serious look, as if he was making a life or death decision. "No. I need to pick this, cant be someone else." He would say and his eyes glued to the collection of beautiful rings. He takes a long time to buy that ring just for 'you' that day. Nothing but full of his love all poured into it as he finally picked one.

He called up the people to set up and get ready with the preparation today at 10pm.

After he hanged up, he went to his contacts and pressed 'My Dearest'.

Y/N picked up, “H-Hey Love, how are you hm?" Shit. Why did I fucking stutter, I hate my life. He would say cursing himself under his breathe.

You picked that up, and started to chuckle which made his heart flutter. "I'm alright love! Just out with Sasha and Christa shopping....Is something wrong?"

Levi: "No. Can I see you tonight at 10pm? I will pick you up." Please say yes for this....

"Hmm...Yup sure! See you then, Love you!" You said that so cheerfully that he wanted to see you 'now' and hold you.

"Great. I love you too Y/N." He said that and he was holding his phone so tightly. This is it.

It was 10pm, and Levi has picked you up. You looked so amazing and beautiful to him, that he just stood there and gazed at you so lovely, losing his focus.

You started to blush, "Levi..." you said as you waved your hand at him.

"Oh...Um...You look gorgeous." Fuck Levi why do you keep messing up, I haven't even take them there yet.

Levi then took you to one of the top 10 hotels that they had, but this one was special. It was a beach resort hotel! When you both got in to check in, everything was made in glass, sparkling everywhere. But you were the one sparkling beautifully to him.

"Oh my god Levi...I did not expect this! If you told me we were going to a beach resort I would have dressed up so pretty."

“Tch, dont be silly. You are already pretty.." He said that as his cheeks had a faint red blush.

As you guys checked in, you sat and laid on the bed on your back. “Hmm, so what is the occasion Levi?" You go straight to the point which got him off guard. Of course you would ask.

"Nothing, Just that I remembered you wanted to come here so I decided to take us both here today" His heart was now racing. He was actually going to do it. You looked outside and saw the beautiful beach shore.

“Oh lets go check it out!!". You got excited and got up from the bed.

“No! Not now...lets get comfortable and change. I even bought you a gift. If you want to wear it...and we can head to the beach shore, Hm? Ill see you there.”

Weird. Levi would always go to places with you and he has always waited for you, but today was different.

As you changed to the outfit Levi bought for you, you went towards the sliding glass door to open it and stepped outside to find Levi.

As you stepped outside and wore the sandals that was there, you headed  towards the beach shore which was kind of dark. Not much lights.

“L-Levi..!!” You yelled out, a bit nervous. As soon as you called out his name, lights started to brighten as you were approaching the shore and you see beautiful decorations that was hanged up, full of beautiful roses, lilies and others that were glooming with the light.

You see Levi standing by the shore, and he turned around. “Y/N.”

He called out your name instead of ‘love’ which meant that he was serious.

You started to get worried. What's going on? You stopped and stood beside him looking at him.

“Remember...When we first saw the ocean...and first stood at the beach shore.” He said that as his grey eyes were looking at the waves that were driven by the wind so calmly.

“Yea...I do remember it clearly. It was one of my best moments.”

He continued. “We...won, and some of our comrades survived, but...we did it and got through it and I am glad you are here alive with me.” He started to sound....sad? “I never expected this new lifestyle and to be honest, I am glad I am living it with you by my side....You.” He stopped and turned around to look at you. “Stood by my side till the end Y/N, and believed in me, but...not only that but you also saw me as a human being while everyone thought I was heartless. You gave me hope, and you started to make me feel that I deserved to be loved, and I don't think anyone would have made me feel like this if it wasn't for you.”

You stood there so startled, you eyes started to widen. Is Levi really saying this all...? You knew he was a bit talkative with you only but, this....this is different.

Levi then took out what looked like a seashell..? He was looking at it then, handed it over to you.

“Oh wow, this is so pretty!” You said amazed by how it looked and you looked back at Levi.

“Levi, Thank you for your sweet words...I am so happy hearing that from you.” You said while holding on to it, you couldn't stop smiling.

Fuck just say it Levi. “Y/N, I know I have been the hardest to love....so I want to recreate this beach shore memory with asking you something....”

As he was saying that you noticed the seashell, could open? So you did that...and you saw a beautiful diamond ring shining. You froze.

He held your free hand with both of his warm hands and caressed it, “Y/N, will you...m-marry me?” He said that as he looked directly to your eyes that was open up.

Silence. This made Levi worry so much. He looked down but then noticed tears dripping, which made him look back at you so quickly and you started tearing up as the wind started to blow your hair and the ocean waves crashing.

“Yes...I want to be your Mrs. Ackerman. I want to live the rest of my life with you!!” You said that while crying and this made Levi panic, and he quickly hugged you, covering you with his muscular arms and....he started to cry with you too.

“Y/N, thank you. I won’t fail you, I can’t wait to have moments like this for the rest of our lives.” He went back, and looked at your beautiful face, and proceed to kiss your forehead so lovely.

“Y/N!!! Levi!!” You both got startled and looked to the other side and you saw...all of your friends!

“Oh my god....guys!” You saw everyone from Levi’s squad including Hanji who was screaming out your names and all your friends started to run towards you guys.

You then noticed, the whole beach shore started to brighten and you saw beautiful wedding decorations hanged up, heart balloons, a huge long table filled with delicious savory, desserts and drinks while soft jazz music started to play.

Connie and Sasha rushed with celebration poppers and popped that to everyone and confetti's were all over both of you and everyone started to laugh including Levi.

He actually rented out the whole beach shore just for this special occasion to make a special experience, and even planned a surprise celebration after that with all of your friends.

This went on for what left like forever, and everyone headed back after congratulating both of you and you both went to your beach resort room.

You guys did not sleep that night and actually stayed up together talking about how this special evening went, about the future while holding hands, being cuddled up and leaving each other soft kisses throughout the conversation.

Now, everytime you think or even go to the beach shore, you think of Levi’s amazing romantic proposal. This man really took a long time figuring this out and wanted it special cause you deserved that.

And, whenever you look at his steel grey gaze, you saw the love he had for you, and you saw your soon to be husband that you will spend the rest of your life with.

Have fun stewing these in ur brain u dumb fuck (affectionate)

[somekisamestuff]

YESS…and i always thought that these databook personality descriptions were written from the character's perspective. Because that's exactly how Kisame would describe himself (as if we didn't know that he was a softie deep down, at least for Itachi).

Btw…i’m all in for the Kisame Hoshigaki Protection Squad…( I admit that sometimes, I dream of saving Kisame from the situation he was in before he committed suicide. As a proud member of this squad, I would love to protect him with all i have…( I suddenly became unnecessarily emotional and serious wtf )

And…Even though I think he has a soft spot for cute tiny seals, he might be a little biased because leopard seals feed on sweet little blue sharks :(((( I wonder if the fact that I only knew about the marine food chain because of Kisame would affect him? 😏🦈🩵

AND AND AND…While the fishermen were making a statement after killing his shark bestfriend, I think he might imprisoned them in a water prison and watched them drown for a while, without listening their excuses…I'm sure he's thinking of feeding them to the sharks he'll summon into their water balloon. Maybe…just maybe…the jutsu he used to commit suicide was inspired by these moments :(

So…we are at Kisame admiration time of the day again…

One of my favorite things about Kisame is that I can easily imagine him politely ordering tea at a random cafe. It’s because he’s a fucking GENTLEMAN and his way of speaking is one of the most polite among the characters. ( according to the Akatsuki Hiden novel )

Ahh…Kishimoto really wanted him to be a well-mannered big shark…
