Tense?

Dom!Caitlyn Kiramman x F!Reader.

Warning: Sex Public!, sex toy!, Curses.A bit soft at first!

Summary: Your girlfriend is stressed out from her exhausting job as an executive in the eye of the nation. You decide to handle the situation by surprising her in her office. A little break never hurts anyone, right?

—Uh no... Jayce listen I have plans today, leave the package at the front door okay?... Ok bye!— Your voice sounded hurried, somewhat calm and without ups and downs when answering a recent call from your childhood friend (it was already your habit to roll your eyes when hearing his voice).

The reason for your way of rushing things was simple, Caitlyn, your girlfriend, had spent days in her office looking for some useful trace to find and corner the most wanted criminal in the nation. Nothing made her leave her office. At first you gave her space, but the days passed, being incommunicado was overwhelming, of course you knew how important her work was, but you also knew how important her mental health and needs.

So you took your car and determinedly began to drive to where she was, her office and unit. It was clear that it was going to be a surprise, Cait rarely allowed you to visit her at her workplace, it was not to hide something from you (like a deception or something) she just thought that that place was not the best to see each other, there were tense situations, the atmosphere was heavy and believe, she hates criminals who dared to speak to you or make rude comments towards you while they were waiting to be thrown into the dungeons.

For those reasons and others you decided to keep your visit a secret, you had access to her office even if she wasn't there, you are HER woman, she made that clear in a thousand ways (yes, imagine that). You bit your lip as you looked down, seeing again the clothes you chose for the occasion. A simple and perfect black office skirt with a silk shirt (a gift from Caitlyn), a pair of black and formal high platform heels. But beneath this disguise of "decent and attentive girlfriend" was the true intention. Your new lingerie covered your intimate parts and Caitlyn adored them. Since she was absent, she couldn't properly enjoy how that detailed lingerie looked on your body. ¡Dammit! You wanted so much to see her expression when she saw you in the outfit.

After an eternity you finally arrived at the district parking lot. A couple of guards recognized you and immediately bowed their heads in greeting, maintaining respect. You sighed, somewhat nervous and super anxious. The doors opened for you, the secretary looked at you with a smile, she looked so tired. You murmured a cordial greeting and walked to the elevators, being alone you decided to apply more lipstick on your lips, touch up your hair in front of the elevator mirror and unbutton only two buttons on your shirt.

—Perfect...— You whispered looking from head to toe, the elevator door opened revealing the floor where the Kiramman heiress' office was located.

In front of his office, you hesitated whether to knock or just walk by as if nothing had happened. Of course, you opted for the second option.

—Get out— Your girlfriend's intimidating‐hoarse voice exploded in your ears. Caitlyn didn't even lift her head to see who it was, she just "subtly" asked him to go away.

—Are you kicking me out without even saying hello? - You responded, closing the office door, leaning your back against it while still smiling at the taller woman.

Her head snapped up as she recognized your voice, her hand resting on the top of her head slamming down on her desk. Caitlyn opened her mouth but didn't say a word, though the smile growing on her face at the sight of you couldn't be ignored. "What are you doing here..?." She whispered, getting up from her large chair and walking towards you in disbelief.

—You know, I came to see how you were doing—you answered, looking around her office, the papers scattered all over the place, the dust and the little light that filtered through the closed curtains left signs that the place had not been tidy since Caitlyn decided to stay.

The blue haired girl raised an eyebrow, her uniform shirt was rolled up to her elbow, her hair was parted in the middle and tied in a ponytail, her tired and almost dead eyes due to the black bags hanging from them were impossible to miss. —Is it wrong that I think you're hot when I see you like this?— you asked placing your arms on her shoulders, Caitlyn instead held your waist, laughing at what was said.

—I'm so glad you're here... sorry for not spending time with you— She apologized, resting her forehead against yours, feeling the warmth of her body again was something that made you happy, you didn't want to separate from her.

—You don't have to apologize for anything— you replied, giving her a kiss on the tip of her nose. —Did you miss me? — you asked, looking her straight in the eyes, with a certain mischievous glint in them.

—I think about you every day—She whispered with his face buried in his lover's neck, inhaling her fresh and addictive scent. —I think about what you do when you wake up alone in our bed... I think about wanting to hug you and never let go, I think about kissing you as soon as you open your eyes... I miss being present in the house so much, darling— She whispered with a hint of guilt in his voice.

—Maybe you should stop talking and kiss me more...—

—Maybe you should sit on my lap and be quiet...— She murmured, his thumb tracing the shape of your lip, adoring it. "Maybe" You grimaced, your already dilated pupils exposing the level of lust you had at this moment. Caitlyn smiled arrogantly.

—Huh... it's new ? I remember breaking the old one— She recalled running his hand along the strap of your provocative bra, his eyes fixed on your breasts.

"Don't even think about breaking it," you threatened. Caitlyn stepped back with her hands in the air. —I'm not promising anything—

She rolled his eyes and moved closer again. "If I have to rip your panties off to silence your moans I will do it without hesitation..." She whispered against your ear, his hot breath making your skin crawl. —Let me spoil each other, okay baby?—

Caitlyn smirks as she feels your body trembling under her touch, your moans muffled by her hand over your mouth. She loves seeing you like this - helpless and desperate for her.

"Shhh, keep it down," she whispers sternly, even as her fingers continue their relentless assault on your sensitive folds. "We wouldn't want anyone to hear what a needy little slut you are for me, would we?"

Her words drip with condescension and you feel a shameful thrill run through you at being put in your place like this. Caitlyn is in complete control and you are utterly at her mercy.

She leans in close, her breath hot against your ear as she murmurs, "You're mine. My pretty little fucktoy to use however I want. And right now, I want to make you cum so hard you forget your own name."

To punctuate her point, Caitlyn curls her fingers just right, hitting that special spot inside you that makes stars burst behind your eyelids. Your hips buck involuntarily as you let out a strangled gasp, barely stifled by her palm.

She chuckles darkly, clearly reveling in your predicament. "That's it, take it like a good girl. Cum for me"

Her commanding tone brooks no argument. With a keening whimper, your body obeys, clenching tight around Caitlyn's fingers as an intense orgasm crashes over you. She works you through it, prolonging your pleasure until you collapse back against the desk, boneless and spent.

Caitlyn slowly withdraws her hand, bringing her slick fingers to her lips to lick them clean with a satisfied hum. "Mmm, you taste divine. I could do this all day..."

Caitlyn takes a moment to admire the sight before her - you sprawled out on her desk, chest heaving and skin flushed with post-orgasmic bliss. A wicked grin spreads across her face as she leans down to whisper in your ear.

"But we're not done yet, sweetheart. That was just the warm-up."

Caitlyn hums approvingly at the sight of your glistening folds, already swollen and sensitive from your recent climax. She runs a finger teasingly along your slit, collecting the slick arousal there before bringing it to her mouth to taste.

"Fuck...," she purrs, eyes dark with lust. "I could eat this pretty pussy all day and never get tired of it."

True to her word, Caitlyn settles between your legs, pushing your thighs further apart to give herself better access. She starts slow, lapping at your entrance with long, broad strokes of her tongue before focusing her attention on your clit.

The feeling is almost too much, your nerves still raw from your previous orgasm. You squirm and whimper under her ministrations, your hands fisting in her hair.

Caitlyn just chuckles against your skin, the vibrations sending shockwaves through you. She redoubles her efforts, alternating between broad strokes and targeted flicks, determined to work you up into a frenzy once more.

You can feel another orgasm building, coiling tight in your belly as Caitlyn drives you closer and closer to the edge. Just when you think you can't take any more, she pulls back, leaving you aching and empty.

She grins up at you, her lips and chin glistening with your juices. "Not yet, baby. We have all afternoon and I plan to make the most of it."

"Look at you," she murmurs huskily, "So desperate for me, so needy. I love seeing you like this. Completely at my mercy."

"I'm going to fuck you now, baby. Nice and slow, until you're begging me for release. And then I'm going to do it all over again."

She turns to one of her drawers, finding a damn vibrator

Caitlyn returns with the vibrator, switching it on to a low hum. She trails it teasingly along your inner thigh, the buzzing sensation making your skin tingle and jump.

"Spread your legs for me, baby," she commands, her voice low and rough with desire. You comply eagerly, opening yourself up to her completely.

She rewards you by dragging the tip of the toy along your slick folds, circling your clit before plunging it deep inside you. Your back arches off the desk at the sudden intrusion, a choked moan escaping your lips.

Caitlyn sets a slow, deliberate pace, withdrawing the vibrator almost completely before thrusting it back in. Each stroke brushes against that sensitive spot inside you, stoking the fire building in your core.

Her free hand comes up to play with your breasts, pinching and rolling your nipples between her fingers. The dual stimulation is almost too much to bear, pushing you closer to the edge with every passing second.

Just as you're about to tumble over, Caitlyn cruelly pulls the vibrator out, leaving you empty and aching. She flips the switch to a higher setting and presses it firmly against your clit, the intense vibrations making you see stars.

"Look at you, so desperate for me. So hungry for my touch." She grinds the toy against you, her other hand gripping your hip hard enough to bruise.

Her words are your undoing. With a sharp cry, your orgasm crashes over you, your vision whiting out as ecstasy consumes you. Caitlyn works you through it, the vibrator never stilling until the last aftershock passes.

Finally, she turns the toy off and sets it aside, leaning down to capture your lips in a searing kiss. You can taste yourself on her tongue, the flavor heady and intoxicating.

Caitlyn pulls back from the kiss, her eyes dark and hooded with desire. She takes a moment to admire the sight before her - you sprawled out on her desk, chest heaving and skin flushed with post-orgasmic bliss.

"Fuck, you're so beautiful when you come for me," she murmurs, trailing her fingers lightly over your trembling body. "I could watch you fall apart over and over again."

She sits back in her chair, spreading her legs wide in clear invitation. —Come here beautiful... use that little mouth—

Yes, Even More JayVik Headcanons to Cope

jayce has a habit of leaning his chair back on the back legs, and viktor always warns him he's going to fall

he fell Once and viktor is never going to let him forget.

viktor snorts when he laughs

his snorts make jayce laugh even harder

viktor is lowkey a little ghetto LMAO

you can take the man out of zaun but you cant take the zaun out the man

jayce LOVES the beach

viktor HATES sand (and he burns)

but viktor loves watching a shirtless, red tinted jayce run around like a puppy

viktor loves sardines and jayce wanted to see what the "hype" was about

viktor could call him something crazy and he’d absolutely fold

jayce loves having his hands on viktor’s waist.

standing side by side

facing each other

viktor is a horrible liar when it comes to jayce

once they were getting freaky in the lab and jayce full back pressed into the chalkboard, wiping away hours of work

immediately had to pause and redo the work

jayce is incredibly smart (ofc) but i think he would struggle w focusing for too long which is why all of his notes have doodles in the margins

viktor flips thru them when he’s bored

jayce loves to map and kiss all of viktor’s beauty spots and moles

I remember when The Owl House came out and there was INTENSE shipping of Amity and Luz. There were no other male characters Luz’s age, so the queer ship set sail. Then it was revealed Amity does in fact like Luz and the shipping exploded! By the end of season 1, Lumity was the most popular ship by far in the Owl House fandom.

But then Hunter was introduced in season 2. And the SECOND Luz and Hunter shared screen time together, suddenly there was intense hate and backlash to Amity even existing. Even when Amity kissed Luz and basically solidified them as the endgame couple of the show, there was INTENSE Lunter fanart and posting.

People’s reasoning was that Luz is bi and therefore she can like Hunter just as much as Amity. But it sure as heck didn’t feel like that at the time. As a lesbian in the fandom it felt more like people were trying to use Luz’s bi sexuality to straight wash the ships. And it felt very insidious since this was the first openly queer relationship Disney was allowing on the air. We finally got a queer wlw ship and people were trying to downplay it and take it over, using Luz’s sexuality as an excuse.

It felt targeted.

And it got BAD.

Every time Amity and Luz shared a cute moment together, someone would do re-draws of the scenes but swap out Amity for Hunter. And they’d deliberately tag the Lumity hashtag to force their ship into places it didn’t belong. For the longest time the Lunter hashtag was incredibly toxic and hateful towards anyone who called them out for this wlw erasure.

As the show progressed it became clear Hunter had a crush on Willow. And overnight the Lunter hashtag swapped to being Wintlow instead. They continued to do the same tactics as before, such as redrawing scenes of Lumity as Wintlow instead, but it thankfully stopped encroaching on the Lumity fanbase.

Still, to this day, if you search the Owl House hashtag you will find a disproportionate amount of Hunter X Willow artwork and fanfics.

I think of this whenever I see Jayvik fanart in the Arcane hashtag.

The number of people who are openly dismissive of Caitlyn and Vi and Mel being in relationships is staggering. Saying “whatever Jayce and Viktor had going on is gayer than Caitlyn and Vi!” is just as insidious as what the Lunter fandom was doing to Lumity.

We FINALLY got canon lesbian couples (not even bi, but full blown openly lesbian couples) in Arcane and all the fandom can talk about is Jayce and Viktor. A non-canon gay ship that dismisses Mel entirely and pretends like she never existed while denigrating Violyn because “Caitlyn is a cop and ACAB!”

I’m just so tired of this all. This dismissal of my sexuality and representation by the fandom hurts so much. And it seems to keep happening in every fandom that has a wlw ship.

I’m sure a lot of people aren’t even really aware they’re doing it either. Or they don’t feel like it’s a big deal. But after spending so much of my life YEARNING for canon wlw couples in animated shows, it’s disheartening to say the least how underrepresented we are.

MJV but it's their relationship flaws

(I love living in happy fluff world as my fic output would indicate but let's be realistic here)

Jayce is a chronic fixer. He hates seeing people he cares about upset at him, and thinks that if he can somehow logic them out whatever's making them feel that way it'll be better. It doesn't fix it, especially when he's in a relationship with the two most stubborn people in the world.

In my MJV headcanons Mel and Viktor were together first, and that's given Mel a tendency to speak for him when Jayce asks him a question i.e. trying to figure out his preferences about something. This is a triple-edged sword, because Jayce has a tendency to treat Viktor like he's made of glass, and Viktor appreciates Mel's attempt to deflect that for what it is.

When he's actually mad about something, Viktor is just. The biggest bitch. He says shit that he doesn't mean and then immediately apologizes. Mel forgives him, never forgets a slight and will bring it up years later if they're being hypocritical. Jayce, on the other hand, will be sad about it for days.

Jayce almost always has to be the bigger person out of the three of them and play mediator whether he was involved in the argument or not, because neither Mel or Viktor will ever admit to being wrong under any circumstances. Mel does this for his arguments with Viktor. When it's his turn to mediate, Viktor tells Jayce and Mel that they're both being stupid 90% of the time.

Similarly, Jayce is in a near constant state of being exasperated by the fact they never talk about their own feelings, despite being happy to hear whatever he has to say. This is worse with Mel, who's rarely even willing to admit she's upset about something. When Jayce is feeling particularly self-pitying, he'll get mad at them about opening up to each other more than him.

Viktor gets super defensive about anything he takes as passive aggression, and will escalate minor irritation into a fight. Jayce, maybe surprisingly, gets the worst of it on long nights. He has a tendency to convince himself things don't bother him, and let them build over time until he explodes.

But they all love each other and they all know they love each other and they fix these things over time by talking to each other.

#is any of this anything #i hope so because it's canon to all my fics #oops i accidentally made this super melvik centric just like everything else #meljayvik #mjv #mel x jayce x viktor #mel/jayce/viktor #mm methinks some angst is coming up the horizon #THIS is why i call them disaster throuple #mel medarda #jayce talis #viktor arcane #arcane headcanons #arcane fanfiction #meljayvik headcanons

In memory of the late Cassandra Kiramman, I just want to talk about her relationship with her daughter real quick.

On the surface it seems like they didn’t get along. Like Cass was always disappointed by Cait, or that she was only ever the controlling megabitch that she is so often portrayed as in fanon. Granted, post-timeskip in S1, Cait had been avoiding her because of the disagreement in career choice. So I get it.

But I could always see that there was more to it.

Arcane has a theme about Daughters. And how they could be your ultimate undoing.

Caitlyn is Cassandra’s weak spot. And Cass knows it, hates it, but can’t help it.

We get scenes of Cassandra saying one thing, with so much conviction. But as soon as Cait pipes in she caves.

She wanted to condemn Jayce for exploding their building. But Cait says “we have to help him” and she immediately changes her mind.

She was trying to reprimand her daughter after she came back from the undercity. And Cait says “the people are suffering” and she immediately offers to schedule a council meeting.

She very clearly disapproved of Vi, but as soon as Cait whipped out the puppy-dog eyes after Vi’s outburst at the council, she immediately switched to go get your girl, sweetie.

Cassandra put on a front, because of her reputations as a Kiramman and as a Councilor. So she talked so much shit, but this all got blown to the winds in the face of her love for her only daughter.

#a perfect foil to Ambessa swooping in with all of her bullshit #also im 100% sure cait is aware of her power over her mum #she just knows she really has to fight first to get through her mum’s mask #arcane #arcane spoilers #arcane s2 spoilers #arcane season 2 spoilers #just in case ppl didnt know she ded #caitlyn kiramman #cassandra kiramman

ARCANNNNEEE YEAAAHHH!!! Who is/are your favourite characters? what did you like most about them?

im exploding and dying. Im blowing up.

-Mentioned it before but Ekko absolutely topped my fav character list this season. Poor kid’s got the world on his shoulders and has so much to learn, but hes also accomplished so many things. He deserves a fucking break. I need to rewatch the show to pull more thoughts together about him but i Like him a lot :—]

-I am not immune to viktor’s weird boy charms. Im a shill and a normie and also hes really charming in the first season. The second season he comes in tandem with Jayce and their storyline proceeded to make me want to eat rocks so yeah.

-On my first s1 rewatch + watching s2, i found myself really endeared to Jayce. I never really understood the hype around hating this guy, aside from it being because Viktor is a fan favorite and he routinely fucks up his relationship with Viktor which is a big no i guess. I like when a character has visible flaws. Like thats a part of his story. It’s good to me. And his shows of emotion and vulnerability just really make him hit something in me. I dont often see male characters who have the emotional moments that he does, i like it. It charms me, it warms me up to him.

-Heimerdinger goes on my list for ultimately just being a funny guy. As the show goes on i also enjoy poking at the ideas behind his mentor figure title and how he affects the people around him, but really the narrative doesnt often take him seriously enough for me to feel as comfortable getting invested in him emotionally like other characters. Hes kind of there to be silly first, and that works for me. I like him! Would’ve loved to see a little more from him earnestly, but i understand why it wasn’t there.

-Jinx is definitely on the list. I have thoughts about her shift from season 1 to season 2, but again that’s something i need a rewatch for to form my opinions. She’s just a harrowing character, it’s miserable to see her get back up and get shot down over and over and over again. She’s been through so much. Half the fucking show is built on that, so like, obviously. But man. I like her.

Mylo, Claggor, and Singed all go in a little category of “I just think theyre neat :)” as well.

#Arcane spoilers #arcane season 2 #asks :0]#also i miss Grayson.

Going through S2 Act 1 again, not like a full rewatch just skipping around watching some fun moments, possibly looking for something to draw. (I didn't end up drawing anything, I got too distracted.)

But yeah here's a more detailed list of shit I liked from the first 3 eps.

Major spoilers below...

Ep. 1:

"Vi?" "How do you know my name?" "It's written on your face." (She was laying down with her face away from Maddie before she fully walked up when this was said. Maddie's just trying to be funny, there's no way she saw it, and I think that's cute.)

Jayce hitting whatsherface-acidnose (Renni) with the dinky little hammer like the symbolism alone would do something lol

Ep. 2:

All of the visuals on the scene when the song "Sucker" was playing just fucking peak dude. The way it wordlessly lets us know what happened in Silco's absence, Isha's introduction, the "POOW" of Jinx's gun smoke, how the song stops and picks back up for the scene to continue, ooh *chef's kiss*.

Madam Margot is also just so hot, and I know everyone in Arcane is hot, but just yeah.

Jinx saying "haven't I done you enough favors?" to Sevika then immediately going to build her a new arm after. #jinxdidnothingwrong

Just Jinx's expressions as a whole. :D

And alleyway asshole's calamari staying on the ground to be stepped on, just reminded me of the cupcakes in the windowsill in S1E1.

Viktor is Jesus or whatever too. I may have hated high school english and flunked my college writing classes, but even I can recognize a Christ-figure when I see one.

Ep. 3:

Yay they kissed, but also... are we really sure we should leave the two pining lovers alone to find our main target, like that's alright with everyone? We already turned down a whole army let's split our taskforce even smaller, good idea boss, I'm completely on board with this.

Lest is cute with her ears and her stealth. <3 Also the animation on her smoke (smoke in general in this show but hers for some reason) just amazing.

Vi: "I'm done blaming myself for your mistakes." Good for you Vi. Like genuinely powerful mindset.

Jinx is so smart dude, knowing exactly how Vi would approach the room, lining up the mirror perfectly. Like she's so good. I love Jinx!!!

The visuals on the wild rune and how it just completely reminded me of Spider-verse's glitching, it's just so good. My favorite animated show taking notes from my favorite animated movie. Peak.

Fucking amazing closing scene! The glitching starting with the hextech weapons, Jinx's speed during the fight, Jinx kneeing Vi in the face the way Vi kneed Sevika in S1, all the cool close-ups of them fighting at the song's climax, Jinx's "I'm glad it's you" when she lost, Isha being rightfully scared and shaky as she intervenes, the way Jinx just laid there defeated during those moments with Isha hugging her not wanting to win like she did.

Every tiny little detail is perfect!

And again the 2d animation against the 3d world of the smoke as the pipeworks explode.

okay so I'm just gonna write down my theory as to What The Fuck Just Happened (slash is going to happen in act three) under a cut because I can't. stay silent. I will actually explode

so it seems to me that every single main character (viktor, jayce, vi, cait, jinx, vander, isha, melora) are DEAD dead like I struggle to believe that this could be another S1 cliffhanger scenario isha just set off the hextech equivalent of a nuke

now. you know who we haven't seen all goddamn act? ekko and heimerdinger. who are still stuck in the wild rune. ekko. the boy who shattered time. you see where this is going

(now I have no idea what the fuck could be going on with mel best of luck to her but I'm just going to assume she'll be relevant too)

for a second I honestly thought they might go down a "it was all in a figment of someone's (isha) imagination" route which ehhhhhhhh sceptical it could work well tbh (tis the easiest way to get from eh, where we are now, to the LoL canon which as far as I'm aware is our final destination) BUT BUT BUT the "they legitimately fr actually all die and ?? something something ekko something something arcane time is shattered alternate reality appears something something" is much more enticing so I'm choosing to believe that's where we're going. also again an alternate timeline manifesting (possibly one without viktor and jayce's absolutely buckwild arcane powers which I was honestly so there for) and like the story starting over from a certain point in time with added slash removed factors would be another explanation as to. how the fuck we get where we need to get. and would explain things such as: why the hell are jinx and vi on good terms when we KNOW they hate each other's asses in-game, why the FUCK is vi canonically a cop I thought she got better??

TLDR; ekko is going to ekko all over the place in act 3

hey so anyone know what the Actual Fuck just happened? what did I witness? genuinely at a loss for words HOW is this worse than the end of S1? What. Just. Happened.

Arcane characters and how to make them laugh + their laugh headcanons PART 1

Feat. Vi, Jinx, Caitlyn, Jayce, Viktor + Heimerdinger

This was really fun! I love making up these quirky little hcs and this was just on my mind. uwu Stay tuned for part 2.

Note: reader insert and implied character x reader, platonic and romantic.

Despite being a sarcastic person, Vi doesn’t laugh out loud too often

Most of the time she will react with a cocky chuckle or snort

Definitely enjoys way more making you laugh and listening to your sweet giggles

However, there is one thing that ALWAYS gets her: real-life slapstick

One day you went ice skating together and the first thing you did after bragging about how good you were at it, was accidentally fall flat on your ass

Vi immediately burst into laughter upon seeing you unhurt but absolutely dumbfounded by what had just happened

You were a bit flustered but hearing her unrestrained laughter echoing through the frost-covered park made you feel all warm all of a sudden

Eventually, she calmed down and offered you a hand to get back on your feet

Not without teasing you for the rest of the day about it of course

You wouldn’t expect it but Vi’s laugh is very similar to Jinx’s, raspy and high but definitely less hysterical and sometimes it even has some qualities of Vander’s if she does more of a belly laugh

She will even do a knee slap if something amuses her particularly

Jinx

She absolutely loves it when you do an impression of Sevika

Bonus points if you dress up as her with a cloak and something to substitute her robot arm for extra mockery

First Jinx will just be giggling, biting her lip while watching you put on a little show but by the end of your skit you will have her crying with laughter and kicking her legs

She definitely has a childlike sense of humor and doesn’t shy away from letting herself loose

That involves hysterical giggling, heavy snorting, and cackling like a mad chicken

Her laugh is definitely a lot and can be super annoying to the people around her

But not to you

Seeing her so genuinely happy is quite a nice change

Silco also doesn’t seem to mind it

Will also laugh her ass off seeing other people – especially those she dislikes – getting pranked

Caitlyn

So … Caitlyn is quite experienced when it comes to retaining her composure

She doesn’t just burst out laughing even though in the past there have been a couple of close calls

Her mother usually cut her off when she started to giggle about something in an unflattering situation

When Caitlyn is not around her parents she’s usually much more comfortable showing her emotions

However … there is something she is insecure about: her laugh

You found out about it one time when the two of you were goofing around on the couch

You started tickling her and to your surprise, she burst into the biggest high-pitched dolphin laughter you have ever heard from anybody

You were taken aback and she was m o r t i f i e d

She explained to you that she hates her laugh but you assured her that it was the sweetest, most beautiful sound to ever exist on this planet

She just rolled her eyes, telling you to shut up while turning bright red

Jayce

Jayce will laugh about anything really

Comedy shows?

He will be in tears not even halfway through

You accidentally letting one rip?

He will ROLL on the floor!

But something that will particularly amuse him and infuriate you (affectionately) is making you flustered

When he sees you blushing deep red, stumbling over your own words, and then putting on that hilariously pouty face he just can’t help it

It’s TOO cute!

He will let out a hearty laugh at your expression, sometimes giving your a firm pat on the back or just wrapping his arm around you

It’s hard to stay mad at him though because his laugh is just so charming

Like … this man is mocking you, how can he be so handsome about it?! >://(

Also claps loudly when laughing

And you always feel like your eardrums are gonna explode when he does it out of nowhere

Viktor

Oh boy, here we have a tough candidate …

Viktor has a peculiar sense of humor and it’s quite hard to make him laugh out loud

A soft chuckle or grin is the most you can get out of him usually

He is definitely one to cover his mouth and giggle in secret when people aren’t paying attention

However, there was this one time you accidentally called Heimerdinger ”Heimerdaddy” in front of the yordle’s face when you bid him goodbye

And much to your surprise Viktor just … lost it

It caught him so off guard that at first, he tried to keep his wheezing down, pressing his fist against his lips as hard as he could

But there was no way he would get a hold of himself anytime soon

It was just 10 minutes of suppressed wheezing and giggling only interrupted by him choking on his own laughter and coughing

Afterward, he wiped away the tears from his face, apologizing about a million times

Weirdly despite your blunder, you didn’t feel embarrassed for being laughed at but instead felt a sense of pride for experiencing this side of Viktor that probably no one else has seen before

Needless to say you you never managed to make him laugh like this again sadly

+ Heimerdinger

He will laugh at really corny jokes or witty wordplay

Thing is: he is always the one laughing for WAY too long

Everyone else will have moved on while he's still repeating the punchline of the joke in between laughing fits

It gets really awkward ...

His laugh is kind of a Santa Claus-esque ”Hohoho”

Only if Santa Claus was a gerbil

...okay, I’ve been wanting to explode about this short scene prior to Jayce’s speech for a while, so here we go!

Oh heck. Viktor’s anxiety here is just so visceral. His head’s down, his gaze is unfocused and distracted, his fingers are nervously twitching against his crutch... as someone diagnosed with anxiety, it just hits home for me so hard. A dislike of public speaking is fairly common, but these physical symptoms are so relatable. The fidgeting, the wandering gaze.. oh, what a mood.

“Where were you? They were asking if I could do the address.”

Also, this is the first time you see Viktor’s cough. Imagine being asked to speak publicly when others know how much you dislike it, you don’t have anything prepared, and you’re also exhausted and feeling ill. All the while waiting for your lab partner, praying that he shows up in time. Makes me anxious just thinking about it...

Also, the tone of Viktor’s voice is fascinating here. He almost sounds...incredulous, like ‘I can’t believe they were going to ask me, of all people.’ Now, whether that was because he hates public speaking, or because he felt like he was the last person they’d want, being from Zaun, in front of Piltover’s highest ranking citizens, we’ll never know. Just makes me think.

J: “You should come up with me! We’re partners.”

V: “No, no, not in front of...”

V: “...all of them. You...have your speech prepared?”

Even though I bet Jayce know’s about Viktor’s reluctance towards public appearances, I think still think it’s really sweet he asks anyway. It’s a great gesture to ensure Viktor knows that Jayce values him a lot. Okay, so maybe he shouldn’t have been running so close to time, knowing Viktor’s anxiety, and one could argue that had he arrived earlier, he could’ve discussed the delay on revealing the Hextech gemstones, but still. Jayce means well here.

Also, I find it funny Viktor asks about Jayce’s speech prep. Is it implying he was expecting Jayce to wing it with grand bravado? (I doubt it, but it’s a funny thought!)

Aww. The first little hints of Sky’s crush on Viktor! I just love her little pause as she gives Viktor this shy little smile before ducking her head and carrying on with her job. Also, I just...really like how Viktor looks at her; it’s not much, but his expression just...softens a little. It’s a brief reprieve from his nerves about Jayce’s speech and their Hextech announcement. (Okay, I’m probably biased because I ship them... but Vik could’ve just ignored Sky completely. And he didn’t. So. :P)

OKAY. THIS. THIS IS SO FREAKING SYMBOLIC. I noticed this immediately when watching this scene and it is sending me. To me, it’s a fantastic little representation of how society has separated Jayce and Viktor. Jayce, from Piltover, became the ‘face’ of Hextech and progress, while Viktor, from Zaun, remained behind the scenes, not wanting the public’s eye for many reasons—his undercity birth, his disability, his anxiety, and so on. But Viktor is still a huge part of Hextech—but nobody seems to acknowledge it. Jayce could’ve at least said something in his speech about Viktor and perhaps paint Zaun positively, make a statement about their ingenuity or something, but he just...talks about himself.

Even still, Viktor is looking at Jayce with pride while he talks, particularly when Jayce says, ‘No one in my life expected very much of me.” What a relatable statement for Viktor, honestly. He’s probably reminiscing about the night he interrupted Jayce from taking his own life all those years ago. Anyway, it could be that Viktor doesn’t mind staying behind. I just find it ironic that Jayce talks about ‘My family and I are simple people. In our factory, we made hammers. They were probably used to cut the stones you’re standing on right now.”

Like. The same could be said for Viktor, except the circumstances for Zaunites like him are much more dire. Jayce frames himself like he came from humble beginnings, but we know he had privilege and power from the start. Viktor? He came from nothing—and even getting into Piltover was probably partially luck-based, too. Zaunites (not Viktor himself) like him worked in the fissure mines as children, with toxic gases, where as Jayce was from a family that owned factories. Factories that might’ve employed poorer people from Zaun. Who knows. Anyway, the irony here is just... striking.

Okay. Last point. Just look at Viktor. He was so ready for Jayce to back him up and change the world with Hextech gemstones, right then, right there. Considering how distressed Viktor was at Heimerdinger’s dismissal, he was relying on Jayce, his lab partner (and his partner in breaking the rules to further science to help people), the voice of Hextech, to do something. But Jayce doesn’t. And I imagine this cut Viktor deep. (It’s pretty clear how Vik feels on the matter later at the Hexgates, too).

Anyhow. Long post is long. I just have too many feelings and not enough places to put them! Argh! I just freaking love this show to bits.

SO UH EPISODE 3 WTF HOW DARE YOU MAKE ME FEEL LIKE HOW FUCKING DARE YOU

Viktor and Jayce: haha this is fun and stuff

Vi and Powder:

Srsly I full on cried as the revelation of what Powder's bomb did hit her. She's so happy that something finally worked only to realise she's killed her father and brothers and then Vi is horrified with the fact she's yelled at and hit her sister and she leaves but doesn't, like she's stepping away because she can't cry in front of Powder, she needs to look after them now, only Marcus chloroforms her and takes her away, saying that Silco will kill her if he hears her. Is he genuinely protecting her for her own good or to try and salvage a shitty situation he helped to engineer? Both? I can't wait to find out, but I hate that he got Shala'raan aka Grayson killed :( I love her voice so much.

And fucking Silco. He's literally a horror, yet the moment Powder clings to him and rejects Vi, he just goes 'guess I'm a dad now' and provides the comfort she needs? His grip on her is so protective, he just imprints on this little girl that he was fully prepared to murder a second ago. Like how can someone so horrifying also have the dad energy holy shit this show I need more inject it into my veins!!!!!

Ah yes. The slow descent of PAIN as the bomb went off and it just got worse. And worse. And worse. Every second just kept tearing at my heart and threw it on the fucking ground from the moment Powder realized what she had done to Vi getting so upset she had to leave.

Jayce and Viktor were happily vibing making fun time magic meanwhile tragedy is happening across the river.

Also, Silco is one of my favorite characters. There's a reason, that I think you're going to see soon, why he's my favorite and honestly such a beautifully well written antagonist. I say antagonist because, honestly, he doesn't feel like a villain. He's a bad guy, for sure, but he's not pure evil. You'll see why in later episodes.

Also, just a heads up, there's is a time skip between episode 3 and 4. Roughly 6 or 7 years I believe? Only reason I say that is because it can be confusing going straight from episode 3 to 4 but back when that shit released it made since cause I has to wait a whole fucking week with the bomb exploding on repeat in my fucking mind.

Also, if you don't know anything about League lore, come back to me once you've finished the entire show and I'll tell you some fun things that may either make or break your heart :)

#Arcane #Screaming about such a great fucking show #Literally don't even need to know anything about League lore to enjoy it

Ruination Rewrite: Bilgewater

Bilgewater Part I

The next day, you step into the map room to find that all the Sentinels have already gathered… All but one.

“Where’s Jayce?”

“Aren’t we missing somebody?”

Jayce: “Sorry for the wait, everyone. It took longer than I thought, but the Mercury Hammer MK II is ready to go.”

Gwen: “My goodness! That’s quite the contraption you’ve made, Mr. Hammer.”

Lucian: “Hot damn, you really pulled it off? Hextech plus Relicstone… Think you could upgrade one of my guns, son?”

Jayce: “If I had a proper lap here, maybe. That said, the MK II is still in its experimental phases. I’ll need to test it out in the field to get more conclusive data.”

“Uh, that thing won’t explode, right?”

“So you don’t even know if it works?”

Jayce: “I wouldn’t expect you to understand. I just need some targets to test this baby out on.”

Senna: “Then I guess you’re in luck. If there are no objections, our next stop is Buhru in the Blue Flame Isles. We were in contact with the Sentinel outpost there when it fell, but with any luck, Fetu and his allies may have survived.”

“No objections here, ma’am!”

“Destination set! Next stop: the Blue Flame Isles!”

In a flash, the Wayfinder brings you to Buhru, where you quickly find that the Sentinel Outpost stands in ruins. You look around briefly, hoping for some sign of Fetu, but to no avail.

Riven: “Doesn’t look like anyone’s here.”

Lucian: “Plenty of Mist, though. The fetter’s bound to be around here, somewhere.”

You peer out across the ocean toward the neighboring isles, hoping for some clue as to what direction the Black Mist is heading. As you search, you hear stones skidding behind you, as well as the cocking of a gun.

???: “Nobody move!”

You wheel around to see a scruffy-looking man with a sizable, double-barreled cannon staring you down.

???: “Well well, looks like I finally caught the perpetrators in the act.”

“Perpetrators? Whatever you think we’ve done, we’re innocent!”

“Uh, I think there’s been some kind of misunderstanding…”

Graves: “Uh huh. You really think it’s that ease to pull one over on Malcom Graves? Only one man I know who can make a whole group of people appear in an instant. So…”

Graves casually places a cigar in his mouth, his shotgun leveled at you the entire time.

Graves: “I’m gonna give you all one chance to fess up ‘fore I blow ya into the water. Where the hell is Twisted Fate!?”

Bilgewater Part II

“Twisted Fate? That’s a dumb name.”

“Twisted Fate? That’s an awesome name!”

Graves response 1: “That’s what I keep tellin’ him, but… Oh no, you’re not gonna distract me that easy.”

Graves response 2: “…Son, you got a lot to learn, not that you’ll have the chance if ya don’t fess up!”

Diana: “We know no one by that name. It was the Wayfinder’s light that brought us here.”

Graves: “The what now? Now you’re just makin’ up-”

Graves is cut short as the sound of wagon wheels suddenly fills the air, accompanied by the sound of inhuman growling.

Olaf: “Wait! Something approaches!”

Graves: “Ah hell, he’s back!”

Suddenly, a shadow passes over you and the other Sentinels. You gaze up to witness something that defies belief: an undead warrior riding through the air on a chariot pulled by a trio of spectral sharks.

Lucian: “…You have got to be kidding me.”

Jayce: “Heads up! That thing’s coming right for us!”

Sure enough, the charioteer turns around and makes a divebomb right for your group. At Senna’s command, the Sentinels open fire, causing the spectral sharks to turn and slam into the ruins. The charioteer soon loses control and finds himself being dragged back out to sea, vanishing into the Black Mist.

Graves: “Well I’ll be… That bastard’s been followin’ me for days, but he didn’t so much as flinch when I shot at him! You all, though… You actually managed to scare him off!”

“We’re Sentinels. It’s what we do.”

“Our guns are better than yours.”

Shen: “We haven’t the time to boast. We must find the fetter as soon as possible.”

Graves: “Now hold on a damn minute! You lot still haven’t told me where my partner is!”

Vayne: “Don’t know, don’t care. You’re outnumbered and outgunned, so I’d suggest you get out of the way before we BLOW you into ocean.”

Gwen: “I’m terribly sorry, Mr. Scruffy. I do wish we could help you find your friend, but we… Oh!”

As Gwen approaches Graves, a familiar light emanates from her chest. That same begins to shine from an item on Graves’ belt. Perplexed, Graves unhooks the item in question to reveal a silver handbell that resonates with Gwen and Senna.

Graves: “What in tarnation?”

“It’s the fetter!”

“He’s got it!”

Jayce: “Huh. That was surprisingly easy.”

The Sentinels quickly advance on Graves, who tries to keep you at bay by raising his shotgun.

Graves: “Now hold on a minute. I’ve still got a lot of questions for you all, and- What the!?”

A familiar shadow appears behind Graves and snatches the bell from his hand.

Vex: “I’ll just be taking that.”

Vex turns and begins running further inland, fetter in hand.

Graves: “Hey! Come back here you little rodent!”

Senna: “She’s got the fetter! Sentinels, after her!”

Bilgewater Part III

The Sentinels give chase through the thick vegetation of Buhru, pushing through the undead that try to hinder their path. Vex and her shadow remain a step ahead, getting further and further away despite your best efforts.

Graves: *Pant. Pant.* “Get back here with my meal ticket, ya little rascal!”

Vayne: “Why is he still here?”

Senna: “Nevermind him! Just don’t lose sight the fetter!”

Graves: “This is why I hate yordles!”

“Shen, can’t you do something?”

“Jayce, can’t you do something?”

Shen (if option 1 is picked): “Something in this land is barring my entry to the Spirit Realm! We will have to pursue on foot!”

Jayce (if option 2 is picked): “Sorry, I used up my last Acceleration Gate back in Viktor’s lab! Haven’t had a chance to make more!”

With no other options, you continue to follow Vex on foot. Finally, you see her racing up a flight of stone stairs toward before vanishing from sight. By the time you reach the top of the stairs, all that awaits you is an empty village.

Riven: “Where did she go!?”

Lucian: “Damn it… We lost her.”

Senna: “She can’t have gotten far! Spread out and search for her!”

On Senna’s command, you and the other Sentinels fan out across the village, searching through the remnants of homes for any trace of Vex and the fetter.

Graves: “Tch. No sign of the furball anywhere. It’s just like Tobias always says: don’t mess with yordles.”

“Tobias? You mean Twisted Fate?”

“Why are you following me?”

Graves response 1: “Yup. Tobias Felix. Better known, for better or worse, as Twisted Fate. But, uh, you didn’t hear his real name from me, got it?”

Graves response 2: “Well, given my prior experience with yordles, I’m thinkin’ you could use the backup.” (Better you get turned into a frog this time instead of me, kid.)

You and Graves continue to explore the village together, peeking into abandoned houses and under crumbling serpent statues. Your search yields no results, until…

*BOOM!*

A building further uphill suddenly explodes, starling you and Graves to your feet.

“What was that!?”

“Please tell me there aren’t exploding ghosts here.”

Graves: “No idea, but in my professional experience, runnin’ TOWARD explosions ain’t exactly conventionally wise. That said, conventional wisdom also don’t make much of a profit in Bilgewater. Come on!”

You follow Graves toward the source of the explosion to the burning building. You find Vex laying on the ground, pulling herself out of the fire.

Vex: *Cough* *Wheeze* “WHAT THE HECK!? Did you seriously just try to BLOW ME UP!?”

A figure leans down to snatch the fetter out of Vex’s hand, keeping a gun trained on her the entire time.

???: “I know it’ll take more than THAT to kill a yordle, but your little shadow friend won’t be disturbin’ us for a while, at least. Now then, what have we here…?”

Graves: “Oh hell. Are my eyes playin’ tricks on me? That can’t be…”

???: “Malcolm Graves. Well well, today is just full o’ surprises!”

Graves: “Damn. It IS you. You’re supposed to be dead! Ah, but hell… This is the Mist’s doin’ too, ain’t it? Missy fortune blew you and your ship to the bottom of the ocean!”

???: “Oh I remember, but much like the yordle here, it’ll take more than a few dozen barrels of gunpowder to kill ME.”

“Uh, sorry to interrupt, but I’m gonna need that bell, if you don’t mind.”

“Wow, that was pretty impressive, taking down Vex like that. Now, about the fetter…”

???: “Hmph. What’s this, Graves? Got yourself a new partner? Good. I can send him to the bottom of the sees with ya!”

Graves: “Kid, remember what I said earlier about conventional wisdom? Well, this here’s just plain common sense: you don’t wanna pick a fight with Gangplank.”

Bilgewater Part IV

Gangplank stares you down as the flames burn behind him. Wraiths begin to emerge from the Mist all around you, drawn by the commotion, but seem hesitant to approach. Behind you, the Sentinels race onto the scene, weapons ready.

Lucian: “Rookie, what’s goin’ on?”

“This old pirate took the fetter!”

“This old pirate managed to take down Vex!”

Diana: “Seriously? Maybe we should invite HIM to join us.”

Gangplank: “I’m not interested in joinin’ YOUR crew, girl. I’m getting back my own, and this bell here… This bell’s the key to doing just that.”

Shen: “You know not what you hold. Surrender the fetter, or there will be consequences.”

Olaf: “Don’t just stand around and threaten him! Let’s grab it!”

Vayne: “For once, I agree with this idiot.”

The Sentinels quickly begin to advance on Gangplank, only to find themselves unable to take a single step toward him. Looking down, you see a massive shadow spanning the ground beneath your feet. Vex quickly stands and brushes herself off.

Vex: “Wow. They actually fell for it. You Sentinels are bigger losers than I thought.”

Gangplank: “It’s like I said, Vex: to catch a fish, you just need the right bait.”

“You two are working together?”

“What’s going on here?”

Vex: “Isn’t it obvious? Ugh, whatever. I’m not obligated to explain myself.”

The wraiths begin to close in on you, though your movements are still sluggish thanks to Vex’s shadow. You and the other Sentinels struggle to free yourselves, though you quickly realize that you are completely at Vex’s mercy. Even so, as you look around amongst your allies, you get the sense that someone is missing…

Gangplank: “Don’t get the wrong idea: this is nothing personal. I just need you Sentinels out of the way if I’m to reclaim what’s rightfully mine.”

The wraiths latch onto, their claws digging into your flesh. You can feel them sapping your life force, but just as your vision starts to blur, something lands between Gangplank and Vex: a metal cannister. Suddenly, another explosion knocks the two of them off their feet, causing the shadow beneath you to dissipate.

Graves: “Common sense ain’t exactly my forte either!”

Now unfettered by Vex’s magic, the Sentinels are free to draw their weapons and retaliate against the onslaught of undead. You feel a sudden revitalizing energy course through your body as Senna drives the wraiths off of you.

Senna: “You alright, Rookie?”

“I’m fine! Thanks!”

“Don’t worry about me! Get the fetter!”

You turn to see Gangplank and Vex quickly scrambling to their feet.

Vex: “Ugh! This is so not cool! You were all supposed to like, fall into despair while getting turned into wraiths!”

Gangplank: “This isn’t over yet! Vex, get me to Bilgewater, and you’ll see their despairing faces yet!”

Vex: “Ugh, you’re not the boss of me… Fine. Guess I don’t have much choice!”

Vex summons her shadow again and conjures a portal in the Mist, through which she and Gangplank beat a hasty retreat.

Jayce: “Damn! They’re getting away!”

Senna: “Not for long! After them, Sentinels!”

On Senna’s orders, you all give chase through the shadowy gateway, diving in one after the order. Finally, you dive in last, finding yourself utterly drenches in darkness as the portal closes behind you…

Bilgewater Part V

You stumble out of the darkness to find yourself assaulted by the most putrid smell you’ve ever experienced. All around you are the remnants of decaying sea creatures, most of which are several times larger than a person.

Gwen: “My word! What is this awful place!?”

Graves: “I’d recognize this homely smell anywhere! This is the Slaughter Docks!”

Vayne: “You’re still here?”

Graves: “Can’t get rid of Malcolm Graves that easy! ‘Sides, divin’ through an ominous portal beats fightin’ a whole pack of undyin’ ghosts on my own… Not that I was really takin’ all that into account at the time.”

“Where’s Gangplank?”

“Where’s Vex?”

Diana: “That cannot have gone far… Look! There they are!”

Diana points to far end of the dock. Sure enough, you see Gangplank and Vex talking at the far end, as well as a third figure…

Viego: “Well done, Captain… And you as well, Vex.”

Riven: “Uh oh.”

Lucian: “Viego!”

Jayce: “THAT’S the Ruined King? Huh. I thought he’d be bigger.”

Olaf: “Aye, but don’t be fooled! He’s a worthy foe, indeed…”

Viego: “Ah, the Sentinels. I see you have survived. No matter. You are far too late to stop me now.”

Senna: “We’ll see about that! Everyone, in formation! This is what we trained for!”

Vex: “Ugh, seriously? Do you guys ever stop? Your whole ‘never say die’ thing is really getting on my nerves.”

Viego: “Unfortunately, I haven’t the time to waste on entertaining you all now, as I did in Ionia. I have simply come to retrieve what is mine and take my leave.”

Viego takes the bell out of Gangplank’s hand and clutches it tight. As he did in Demacia, the Ruined King appears to absorb the power within the fetter, leaving it hollow.

Senna: “Open fire!”

Senna, Lucian, Jayce and Vayne all let loose a volley of Relic light that briefly illuminates the docks. Shortly thereafter, Gwen charges into the fray with Olaf and Riven, surrounding them in Hallowed Mist to keep the wraiths at bay. Shen takes hold if Diana and vanishes into the spirit realm. Moments later, the two of them reappear behind Viego and lash out with their blades while Riven, Gwen and Olaf attempt to catch him in a pincer attack.

Viego raises his blade to deflect the blow Shen and Diana, while Vex summons her shadow to keep the other three at bay.

Viego: “I see you have improved since our last encounter, but it is still not enough!”

With a snap of his fingers, Viego wills the Black Mist into the dead sea beasts littered across the Slaughter Docks. Giants squids, razor fins, and all manner of other creatures roar to unlife as they pry themselves free of their hooks. Soon, the Sentinels find themselves cut off from Viego by the reborn creatures of the deep.

Viego: “Do you see? My influence knows no bounds.”

Gangplank: “Aye, you’re the real deal, alright. And speakin’ of deals, I kept up my end of the bargain: I help you reclaim your queen, you help me take back my throne!”

Viego: “Hmph. Very well. I am a generous king, and I always keep my word.”

To your horror, Viego plunges his sword through Gangplank’s chest. Black Mist courses around the old pirate, transforming him in the blink of an eye.

Lucian: “Damn it! What’s that old fool doing?”

Gangplank: “I’m reclaiming… WHAT’S MINE!”

Gangplank raises his sword, which ignites with spectral green flame.

Gangplank: “My ship, my crew, my city! Everything Sarah Fortune took from me!”

Suddenly, a massive ship erupts from the ocean behind Gangplank. Its sails are tattered, its hull covered in holes and barnacles, and its crew consisting entirely of spectres.

Graves: “Ah, hell! That’s the Dead Pool! I barely got off that ship alive!”

Gangplank: “Oh yes Graves, I remember. This time, I’ll finish what I started. Volley fire!”

The Dead Pool’s cannons angle upwards and rain down a volley of spectral iron across the Slaughter Docks. At Senna’s command, you and the other Sentinels run for cover within a nearby alcove, while Viego and Vex calmly slip away among the chaos.

Riven: “We’ve got to get out of here!”

Senna: “Damn it, I know! Rookie, get us out of here!”

At Senna’s command, you wind of the Wayfinder and allow its light to carry you all out of danger. The cries of undead sea monsters and the sound of cannonfire fall silent as you stumble back into headquarters.

“That was too close.”

“Is everyone alright?”

Gwen response 1: “Quite right. Although… It seems we have another unexpected guest!”

Gwen response 2: “Everyone seems present and accounted for… Including Mr. Scruffy!”

Graves: *Whistles* “So that’s the Wayfinder doohickey you mentioned? Bet somethin’ like that would go for a lot of money on black market.”

A bolt of light suddenly whizzes past Graves’ head, trimming off a few hairs.

Graves: “YOW!”

Vayne: “Why. Are you. Still here?”

Senna: “Rookie, you’ve gotta start checking your surroundings before you use that Wayfinder.”

“My bad.”

“In my defense, it was a pretty chaotic situation.”

Lucian: “Now hang on. Maybe this ain’t as bad as it looks.”

Senna: “Lucian, please tell me you’re not about suggest what I think you are.”

Lucian: “He DID save our hides back in Buhru.”

Senna: “He’s also an outlaw and a thief. He stole the fetter AND just admitted to wanting to steal the Wayfinder.”

Lucian: “Look, we’ve dealt with worse, and we can’t be too picky when we’re trying to save the world.”

Graves: “Now just hold on a minute. Save the world? Listen, buddy, I ain’t no hero-type. I only came along to keep from getting blow apart by Gangplank or eaten alive by ghost fish. I ain’t plannin’ to stick around.”

“What if we could help you find your missing partner?”

“What if we could help you hide from Gangplank?”

Graves: “…Although, upon reconsiderin’, I hear the hero business is very profitable these days.”

Vayne: “Rookie, for once, could it have hurt to keep your mouth shut?”

Olaf: “Hmph. I like this man. He reminds me of Lokfar!”

Senna: *Sigh* “Alright, fine. Gwen, you know what to do. Just… Keep an eye on him.”

Gwen: “Yes, ma’am!”

Gwen leads Graves further into the Sentinel vault, though Vayne accompanies them to assist in keeping Graves out of trouble. After several minutes, the three finally re-emerged with Vayne pointing her crossbow at Graves’ back.

Vayne: “I caught him eyeing the fetter. Are you sure we can’t just shoot him?”

Graves: “Hey now, I was only lookin’! Out of curiosity, though, how much would ya say that fancy parasol is worth?”

Senna: “I know I’m gonna regret this, but… Come on, Sentinel Graves. Let’s get you sworn in.”
