Luxanna and Darius　一　 @psielapki throws herself into his arms. 💙

　　Blood-soaked, strokes and splatters and rivulets upon one another until the white and blue beneath are almost a memory. He can never forget who he is, despite it all. Beneath all the grime and blood, indigo brushstrokes plainly describe him ; strength drawn in bold strokes, stripes earnt by being who he was.　Strong.　Strong like an inevitability. Stronger than death and hell. It's simple to him, being strong and using his strength, to know what he wants and to fight for it. He's always had the ability to see the speck of light waiting in the distant darkness and to carve his path to it. Rend and rip and hack and crush -- whatever it takes to return.

　　Return to this.

His arms engulf the rabbit jumping into them. His large form doesn't flinch, it's sturdily planted into the earth, a stone for Lux to rely on. A deep chuckle rumbles in his chest, pleased, affectionate. He's like a behemoth cradling something as frail as a porcelain cup -- Lux is so small and feather light in his embrace, so easy to lift. Only she knows how gentle and soothing his scarred arms can be.

Moments pass and he keeps holding on, pressing Lux's form against his, smelling her, remembering all the little things he'd forgotten. Yet, he doesn't indulge. Much awaits now that he's returned. The worst is over. He has returned and there's time make up for what he'd lost.

Gently, he lowers Lux. A hand lingers on her shoulder and he looks at her, drinks in all that he can see of her, and an old, familiar warmth blazes alive in his gaze.　What a strong leader.　What an incredible woman.　All he says is,　" You took care of everyone. "

It's always like this with him -- actions rather than words. Poetry has never been fit for war, cannot crush his enemies nor provide for his people. There are times when speaking what can be felt is necessary, but it's not now. Shoulders square then, and he regards her, leader to another.　" We better go. They're waiting. "　A smile quips the corner of his mouth ; they are like a king and queen reunited, ready to build their kingdom back together from its scattered shards.

“what? no witty remark? nothing clever to say?”  

Love, Kayn @shadow-reap uwu

QUESTION PROMPTS | Accepting

A little huff of air escaped Zed as he heard those words leave Kayn. His gaze flickering over to the man that he had once brought in and raised as his own. Now grown, now someone who he was rather proud of, if he would say so himself. With that said - Kayn was also the one that knew what buttons to push when it came to Zed. That knew just the right things to tease about or to say that would get on his nerves. And just that had happened now, Kayn had made some comment during their training that he had to bite his tongue on to avoid saying something back. He was trying to model discipline for the other, to show that sometimes, you had to hold your tongue.

And that only resulted in Kayn making yet another comment, only after a few moments would he respond.

" Sometimes, Kayn, it is better to not give a response. " A brief pause before continuing. " Something that, perhaps you could benefit from. "

Fingers dug into the waist of her combat skirt, eyes narrowing at the lie that spread across Ruby's lips. She wasn't fine, the both knew that and Weiss had noticed that her teammate had been struggling for awhile, but didn't know how to approach the situation.

"Ugh. Tell me about it." Weiss said, knowing exactly what it was ruby was talking about. "But you don't have to do this alone, you know that....Right?" They were supposed to be a team after all.

@wintereign asked: you sound weird. are you okay? (for rubes?)

"Hmm?" Ruby blinked, tilting her head towards Weiss. Truthfully, she'd been wrapped up in her own thoughts a little bit. More than usual, anyway.

"Oh yeah, I'm fine, don't worry about me!" The answer slipped out before she could stop it, and she winced slightly. Oh, she did sound weird. "Sorry, I'm just... tired. Getting all this attention from people... it's kind of a lot."

Accursed Mirror (Open Starter)

Where had his mirror gone and ended up?

The last time the Startouched Elf had bothered to actually check, the mirror that gave a window into his prison was in the possession of a Dragon.

Curiosity, and perhaps some vague hope for something interesting, however, had driven him to...well. Activate the mirror's powers.

Hiding just enough out of sight to listen for any....reactions.

"Oh, thank goodness." Gale let out a sigh of relief as she ran her hands over her wings. "I'm so happy to be back to my normal self again. I felt so disconnected from everything without my wings, and I was beginning to worry that I'd never fly again. Riot, you must be relieved too, right? I know how upset you were about your..."

Gale looked over to see Riot standing there, empty hands facing upward in front of his chest, as if he was holding something. She blinked a couple times, and tilted her head in confusion.

"Riot? Are you okay?"

He didn't answer right away. But when he did, it was not at all what Gale was expecting;

"Is it weird that I kinda miss havin' tits?"

"....that's your takeaway from this? Missing your temporary breasts?"

"I mean...kinda? I'm bummed that I can't fly anymore too. I always wanted t' be able t' do that."

"After all that fuss over losing your penis, now you miss having breasts???"

"AND flyin'! Fuck, Gale, I'm not an idiot who only thinks with his dick! Which i am also very fuckin' thankful to have back."

"You--?!"

"Gale." Riot interrupted her. "At the end of the day, I am still a man. A man who likes tits."

There was a moment of silence between the two of them as they stared at each other.

"....You are a very contradicting creature."

"I can live with that."

Starter for @mute-call parent au

          William smirked upon hearing the door slam violently open, chuckling upon hearing the hurried footsteps towards his door. He stood up, holding his coffee mug and waiting for the inevitable. He wouldn't admit it, but he was quite excited for it.

          〝 Steven! It's about time you showed up,〞William spoke, turning around with a wide smile on his face, no care in the world. 〝 would you like some coffee? 〞

"'m not afraid of standin' still, 'm jus' afraid of bein' bored." The smaller tilted his head slightly as he looked her over. Maybe something could be related to in that sense, he supposed. The thought that perhaps, just perhaps, there could be more than the smell of death that they had in common. Something other than a pervasive attempt to hide from things they'd both rather not think about.

🍸- To get drunk with my muse.

「Do you normally go out drinking with your clients?」 Mukuro's lips draw up into a smirk as she asks, her attire this time around more matched the area she was in to not draw too much attention towards herself。

@bxtonpxss liked for Shoko! (Accepting 4 more)

It was a wonderful, warm night out. The perfect time to be out camping in the forest for a bit.

Shoko's parents and grandparents had set up their tents in a clearing nearby, which Shoko had helped them find. There was almost everything they needed nearby where they hat set up camp; a stream full of clean water, some berry trees, and a lot of wood to use for fires. It had been a long day of setting things up, and now the family was asleep.

Of course, Shoko was also asleep... yet not. For she was currently in her Gengar form-- as her human body was asleep-- and taking the opportunity to explore the forest a bit! She had plenty of time, she thought, and she would just need to be back before morning. Or, at least... it WAS her overall plan originally, as she had taken a wrong turn and gotten lost. Now, she wanted to get back as soon as possible. Especially since she didn't know when sunrise would be.

Unfortunately, she'd just spent the last few minutes going around in circles, not making any progress. Annoyed and beginning to lose hope, the human-turned-Gengar sat down on a flat rock in where she had currently found herself, beginning to lose hope in finding her family's campsite. Until.... she was alerted by the sound of rustling bushes nearby.

Who or what could that be? A pokemon? Or a person? Despite being bit frightened, the young Gengar decided to take the risk and speak to whoever it could be.

"I-Is... someone there....?"

@thatchessculatedquickly liked for a starter! | X 1/3

Margarita was alone messing with her garden. She did love that thing after all! It always calmed her nerves, and she didn't mind being alone during these times. She was watering the vegetables and the flowers she had going. Making sure every plant was healthy! She was just enjoying herself! Besides, nothing wrong was going to happen, right?

She looked behind her and saw the chess piece. She looked back at her plants like she didn't see anything. Maybe her brain didn't register it? She turned her head back again. Wait that was a weird chess piece. Wait what on earth? Wait w-

"AAAAAAAA-

She screamed as she flung her hands in the air as the watering can flew behind Margarita. Sorry, she's a very jumpy lady. She wanted to run and scream, I mean it was reasonable! You don't see a giant chess piece often! But she was frozen still. Damn her fawn fight and flight response!

"Is that the queen of hell I see"

[umbra-domini]

Is poro! Is snuggly! Is adorable ram creature! Gives snuggles! Friend? Friend of poro?

The small creature was certainly unlike anything Zed had seen before. It was round, fluffy… and it didn't seem to be a threat of any kind. No.. this creature was rather adorable. Fingers were gentle as he reached down to pick up the little thing, his gaze narrowing slightly as he inspected it. It didn't seem to be of Ionian origin, the long tufts of fur being far too out of place. A little hum of thought left him, and his head tilted slightly to the side.

" Are you lost? "

His voice was surprisingly gentle as he spoke to the creature. Despite not being fond of many people, he did happen to have a soft spot for animals. It wasn't like they killed people for fun. Besides, this thing was so.. little. He doubted it would hurt anyone.

"Oh! Oh oh! Phiona! Open mine next!!"

Phiona giggles, taking the big box that Beau was struggling to carry. Poor thing.

"My box is bigger, that means I love you more!"

Phiona couldn't help but roll her eyes and giggle at that statement. Of course, she knew Beau was kidding, but she was starting to think that maybe she would be a bad influence on them. As she opened the box.

Oh. Oh, there was a lot in here. Phiona turns to Beau, bewilderment in her eyes.

"I... didn't know what to get you, so I just made you a whole bunch of stuff. Called it, uh... blind box! A birthday blind box!"

Well, that's one way to put it. The box contains a multitude of new knickknacks and oddities that just tickled Phiona pink! Sound-erasing pointe slippers and sneakers, perfect for sneaking around! Stickers with location tracking glyphs on them! Ah! She'll never lose her things again! The cutest dolly that acted as both a companion and a camera! An indestructible baseball bat....? Okay. Good for baseball, and if she's caught off guard in her room at night... She guesses. Oh! A paddle brush that can dye her hair with ease! Whether it be gradients or streaks!

After going through the contents of the box, Phiona turns to Beau and embraces them in a tight hug.

"Ooooh! Thank you, Beau! You're the best!"

So maybe he'd been a bit hasty in his answers to the summons from a master. So hasty, in fact, he'd forgotten to bring himself to the world without a shirt.

"Finally! I've been waiting. My name is Lancer-"

"Wait why are you staring, I-"

"Oh. Whoops."

A brief draw of mana later and-

"There. My apologies. How...unseemly to come out of the circle in such a way. Now, I have one question. Are you fit to be my Master?"
