For the writing event, maybe between female adventurer and Kor where he's the one taken by surprise for once? :DD

A/N: Thank you for requesting, Anon! It’s so nice to see more people coming in here and loving Kortia ;w; (I’m not crying, I SWEAR.) Kor, the ultimate sus master, taken by surprise? Sign me up! This was a wee bit difficult, but I TRIED MY BEST—

How to Surprise the Unsurprised

“BOO!”

Kor glanced over his shoulder at Adventurer, who had her hands curled like claws. “What are you, a Dire in Vallaurian clothing?” he asked, thoroughly unimpressed with her attempt to startle him.

She pouted, dropping her arms to her side. “Does nothing faze you?”

“I thought I’d made that clear,” he replied, smirking. “I’m not like some people around here.”

Adventurer would have taken the jab to heart… but he was right. She had been thrown completely off guard by so many things in this strange new world… even Kor. But now that she knew him (?) a little better, he wasn’t as off-putting.

Well, that wasn’t true. He was still sorta a jerk sometimes. Like right now.

“Let me have my fun,” she huffed, stomping ahead of him.

“Why would I do that?” he quipped, moseying along like he didn’t have a care in the world. He clearly didn’t have to worry about running errands for the world’s angriest dwarf.

Rolling her eyes, Adventurer crossed her arms as she headed toward Blood Tavern. (What was it with this dwarf and milk from a tavern?) What would it take to surprise this guy?

Kor chuckled and stepped ahead of her to open the door to the tavern. “Don’t pout. I’m sure you’ll get me one of these days.”

“You’re just saying that,” she grumbled, ducking under his arm and approaching the bar. Adventurer racked her brain, trying to think of a way to surprise this man-of-no-surprises.

As the barkeep was handing her the milk for Byrus, Adventurer realized exactly what she had to do. “Mind walking me back to the city gate, Kor?”

“Eh, why not?” he said, setting down the half-finished mug of mead he’d ordered. “Lead the way.”

Suppressing her smirk, Adventurer lead the way out of the tavern, making sure not to put a skip in her step. She was definitely going to surprise him this time.

Their walk was silent, but Kor didn’t seem to particularly mind. In fact, he almost seemed relieved that he didn’t have to answer any questions at the moment. Adventurer glanced up at the sky, noticing that the sun was starting to sink toward the horizon. Well, this was going to turn out like a scene from a really cheesy romcom anime, but what was the harm in that? It’s not like this wasn’t an anime anyway, the way this all was going.

All too soon, the city gate was looming above them, and Adventurer’s heart started pounding as she realized she would have to go through with her plan. And she would have to do it now before she lost her nerve.

“Um… Kor?” she said, glancing up at the adventurer and his strangely colored hair.

“Hm?” He didn’t look at her, keeping his gaze fixed upon the guards at the gate. The smirk was gone, but there was still something mysterious about him. Was it the hoodie? The hair? The scar? All of the above? Definitely all of the above.

“Thanks for walking with me today. Errands here are less painful when there’s someone else around.” Adventurer’s heart rate picked up speed as she stopped to face him, trying to ignore the Vallaurians around her milling about.

“No problem. I tend to wander anyway, so I might as well seem like I’m doing it for a reason,” he said, half-turning toward her and finally turning that violet gaze on her. Dammit, she was starting to lose her nerve. Here goes.

Going up on her tiptoes and steadying herself on his arm, she leaped up and kissed his cheek. “Thanks again!” she rushed, practically sprinting away before she could see the look on his face.

When she did glance over her shoulder a good distance away, Kor was still standing there, his eyes fixed to the spot where she had been standing moments before. His eyebrows had hiked up his forehead, and to her delight, he indeed seemed surprised. Yes!

Mission accomplished, Adventurer thought, facing front again. Now I just need to not die of embarrassment the next time I see him.

[genork-the-fandork]

Hey Gen! Hope everything's going well. Hmm lemme think. Zeno endeavours to train (male) adventurer as his version of a date; adventurer is stubborn and doesn't want to admit it, but he's having fun ;) (because Zeno makes everything 1000% more entertaining ahaha)

A/N: Everything’s going well, Daisy! Thank you for requesting! I’ll admit, since I’m not too good at fighting scenes, I was unsure how much training to put in, but I think this captures exactly how Zeno interacts with a more stubborn Adventurer. Enjoy! <3

Pairing: Zeno x M!Adventurer

Zeno’s Idea of a Date

“C’mon, Adventurer, you can do better than that!”

Adventurer brushed his hair out of his face as he tried to catch his breath. He and Zeno had been training like this for well over an hour, but he couldn’t tell if there had been any improvement in that time. Zeno was still kicking his ass like it was nothing, which wasn’t doing much for his self-esteem. It didn’t help when he reminded himself that Zeno had been doing this for far longer than an hour, either.

The knight, damn him, was just smirking. “Tired already? It hasn’t been that long!”

“Easy for you to say,” Adventurer grumbled between gasps. “You do this every day.”

Zeno raised an eyebrow. “Harder than farm work, is it?”

Shit. Adventurer covered up his mild confusion with a scowl. “It uses different parts of the body, wise guy.” At least, he was pretty sure it did. Man, it was hard keeping all these stories straight.

Having finally caught his breath, he straightened up, rolling his neck around in what he hoped was a cool-looking version of a stretch. “Okay, I think I’m good. Let’s do that again.” He ignored the ache of his muscles as he tightened his grip around the hilt of the practice sword.

Still smirking, Zeno swung his own practice sword off his shoulder and sank into a fighting stance. “You sure about that, Adventurer? I’ll feel bad if you keel over.”

“Do it,” Adventurer said through gritted teeth. He didn’t want to admit that Zeno was right. Not when this was the first time in a while that they’d been able to spend time together. He’d rather not have the knight grinning stupidly over being right the entire time.

Of course, getting his ass kicked wasn’t much better, but oh, well.

They leapt at each other again, practice swords swishing through the air much less violently than actual steel would’ve. Right before they connected, Zeno’s eyes met Adventurer’s, and he said, “Having fun?”

That made Adventurer stumble a bit, and he yelped as he tripped over his own feet and landed on the ground in a strange, contorted position. “Zeno! That wasn’t fair!”

“A lot of fights aren’t fair,” the knight teased. But he held a hand out for Adventurer, who took it and stood, brushing all the dirt off of himself. Geez. What had he done that for?

“So? Are you having fun?”

Adventurer paused mid-swipe of his hand, glancing over at Zeno, who, despite his cocky grin, looked a little worried to hear the answer. There was something about seeing that little bit of vulnerability that made Adventurer pause. Where was the confident knight who could probably take on an army of Dires without flinching? Who had faced down the Cult Mages without so much as a flinch? This was weird.

Sighing, he scrubbed a hand through his hair. “I guess,” he mumbled, keeping his volume low. He bit his lip before he could something cheesy like, You make everything fun, Zeno. That would have been embarrassing.

The light returned to Zeno’s eyes as his smile widened. “Excellent! One more round, Adventurer, and then we can go drinking! My treat!”

“What is this, a playdate?” Adventurer muttered, picking up his practice sword where it had fallen.

“Of course not! It’s a date! And a great one at that!” Zeno laughed.

The words punched Adventurer in the heart, and he had to double over and catch his breath again while also keeping his cheeks from flaring red.

Oh, yes. Zeno knew how to kick someone’s ass. But apparently, he could go for the heart, too.

[genork-the-fandork]

Hello! Thank you a lot for doing that event! Can I ask to write about Kor realising he's in love with Adventurer?

A/N: Hello, Anon! Thank you for sending in a request! Kor is very popular it seems xD This one might be a wee bit shorter since I don’t think I need to do too much, but I hope you’ll like it, all the same! Happy Valentine’s Day! <3

Pairing: Kor x GN!Adventurer [From Kor’s POV]

Crap, I Think I—

Kor considered himself pretty suspicious, which was another way of remaining completely untouchable. Nothing fazed him—or at least, that’s what he told himself—and he was perfectly content living an average, boring life in Crimson City while trying to raise the whirlwind that was his daughter, Zaria.

But suddenly, that was a lot harder than it should’ve been.

He’d thought seeing Adventurer at the Summerset party was a fluke. A part of him had hoped that it was and that he wouldn’t have to deal with any nonsense for a long while. It was bad enough he’d had to talk to that knight-lord jackass. The last thing he needed was to become the funny guy in someone else’s story.

And then they appeared again.

At first, he’d hoped it was a case of “all strangers look the same” or some bullshit like that, but unfortunately, it wasn’t. It was Adventurer, all right, but he wasn’t too disappointed to see them. He couldn’t put his finger on why, though.

Trouble seemed to follow the poor kid everywhere they went. First it was Knight-Lord Jackass, and then it was the damn Cult Mages. It was almost as if Adventurer was but a protagonist in some wild story. Of course, that didn’t happen in real life, right? Of course not. That would be crazy.

Still, he couldn’t help but… well, help. He wasn’t sure what made him do it. Some weird sense of protectiveness, perhaps. Or maybe he felt sorry for the kid. Whatever it was, it was all very familiar. And strange. Mostly strange. A part of him feared that if he meddled too much, something bad would happen. Not that plenty of bad things had not happened already, but he had a strange sense of foreboding in the pit of his stomach.

Naturally, it took him a little while before he realized that feeling wasn’t foreboding. It was something much, much worse.

Even when he was with his daughter, Kor found himself worrying about Adventurer, wondering if they’d gotten into trouble again. His thoughts were all jumbled, and he’d definitely screwed up at least one batch of snickerdoodles. Snickerdoodles. Something was definitely wrong with him. And he knew exactly what it was.

He was in love with Adventurer.

Shit.

This had to be a passing feeling, something as easily broken as a practice sword. But it wasn’t. And he knew that from the way he felt relieved to see Adventurer safe and sound at Umi’s weapons shop and from the way he had the urge to ruffle their hair and tease them.

Kor was in deep, and there was nothing he could do about it. Not that he wanted to.

[genork-the-fandork]

Okay, you wanted it so you got it Gen! Kor and Rowena,five times she denied dating him while he said they are and one time she admit it

A/N: You tried to hide @pizzapuffungi / @neineandvalerian [Bell], but you gave yourself away by mentioning Rowena! Hehe. In any case, this sounds like an opportunity for some excellent teasing >:) and that’s always my favorite.

Pairing: Kor x Rowena (Bell’s OC)

WE’RE NOT DATING Okay We Are

In Rowena’s defense, she had no prior knowledge to equip her for this exact situation.

But so what if she spent nearly every day with Kor? So what if he’d shared his snickerdoodles with her more than two (okay, five) times? And what on Vallauria did his falling asleep on her shoulder have to do with anything?

Umi especially seemed to make a big honking deal about it. Every time they went into his shop, he’d lean on the counter and give them a shit-eating grin. Today was one of those days. This time, it was accompanied with an even more annoying greeting: “Ah, so it’s the lovebirds again! What can I do for ya?”

Rowena rolled her eyes. “I’ve told you four times before, and I’ll say it again: we’re not together.”

There was a muffled sound to her left, presumably from Kor, who seemed to be pretending not to have anything to do with this conversation. Umi tipped the brim of his hat. “Keep telling yourself that, Miss.”

Kor glanced at Rowena before grinning over at the shopkeep. “Thought fifth time was the charm, huh?”

“Had to try.”

“What have you been telling him?” Rowena asked, narrowing her eyes in Kor’s direction. It didn’t matter how much time she spent with him, he always seemed like he was up to something. It was probably the smirk. Or the scar. Or the fact that she couldn’t even tell if he had pupils sometimes. One of those. Most likely the hoodie.

“Nothing much. Just the truth,” Kor said, patting her on the head like she was a cat that needed reassurance that everything was okay. Which, she sorta was, but still.

Gods, he was suspicious. “Which kind of truth? You seem to have multiple versions of it.”

The adventurer just chuckled and shook his head before waving to Umi and leading her out of the shop. He folded his arms behind his head and whistled off-key as they strolled down Main Street. It was jarring to Rowena’s ears, but she was too focused on what had happened in the weapons shop. “Kor, what have you been telling Umi?”

“Certainly not that we’re together, or anything,” he said with a slight sarcasm that made Rowena’s eye twitch. How could he be so infuriating while also being the one she wanted to spend the most time with? Too bad Gerald wasn’t around to glare some sense into her.

With a huff, she continued following him down the street until they passed outside a bakery and Rowena spotted a certain treat in the window. “Looks like they made snickerdoodles today.”

Kor stopped in his tracks, one foot in the air and his hair almost seeming to perk up. Or maybe it had already looked like that. “Snickerdoodles, eh?” He backtracked his steps to the front door of the bakery, pushing it open and revealing the scents of sugar and baking bread.

Rowena’s nose twitched as she stepped inside after him, glancing around at all the different breads and other baked goods. It was pleasantly warm inside, which felt great after the slight breezes outside.

Her companion approached the counter with a jovial grin on his face. “Two snickerdoodles please,” he said, holding up two fingers.

The baker smiled, glancing between him and Rowena. “You two together?” There was a familiar twinkle in her eye, one that reminded Rowena of Umi’s stupid grin.

She didn’t have time to rein in her words before she was shouting, “So what if we are?”

Wait. Shit. No—

But Kor was already laughing, as if he’d been planning for this all along, and even the baker seemed amused with her outburst. Rowena bit the inside of her cheek and folded her arms tightly against her chest, incredibly put out by this day. “Idiot,” she muttered.

“Ah, I like you, too,” he replied, handing her a snickerdoodle and ruffling her hair again.

When they returned outside, Rowena was thankful for the breeze that cooled her burning cheeks.

[genork-the-fandork]

Pairing: Florus x F!Adventurer

A Totally Non-Valentine’s Day Out

Love seemed to be in the air, and honestly, it was disgusting. It reminded Adventurer of the dreaded time of year back on Earth, with all the clingy couples and the cheesy love songs on the radio. February was a dreaded month, a cursed month, and she had never liked it.

Adventurer crinkled her nose as she strolled with Princess Florus down Main Street. At least nobody was flaunting red and pink hearts everywhere, but that didn’t really better Adventurer’s mood all that much.

“What’s wrong, Adventurer? You look pissed,” the princess pointed out, looking completely unperturbed, as per usual.

“Nothing, nothing,” Adventurer muttered, trying to wipe the frown off her face. But Florus looked unimpressed by this answer, so she sighed and admitted, “All the lovey-dovey stuff just reminds me of a holiday from—uh, where I grew up.”

“Really? What was this holiday like? What did you do?” Florus seemed to gain a spring in her step as she skipped ahead of Adventurer and turned around so she was facing her. “Come oooooon, tell me!”

It was incredibly hard to say no to a face like hers. Especially when her pink eyes were so wide and hopeful… Argh!

Fingering a strand of her hair, Adventurer thought up a simple but non-suspicious explanation for Valentine’s Day. “Okay, so, everyone has their different ways of celebrating. One of the main things, though, is getting someone close to you flowers or chocolate.”

Florus’s eyes drifted to the right, and her lips twisted in a smirk. “Oh?”

Following her eyes, Adventurer saw a florist’s cart overflowing with all sorts of colored flowers. The poor florist looked a little overwhelmed with all the customers clamoring to purchase bouquets of blooms for their sweethearts. Adventurer grimaced, but there was a pink flower that caught her eye. It was the same shade as Florus’s hair, and it looked very similar to the roses on Earth. Before she’d given permission to her feet to go over to the florist, she was approaching the cart, placing a coin on the table and plucking the bloom from the grasp of its brethren. The florist shot her a smile before returning to his work, and Adventurer held the rose-like flower out to Florus.

So occupied was she with matching the flower to Florus’s hair that she barely noticed the pleased blush that tinted the princess’s face a soft shade of pink.

“Another part about the holiday was having a fancy meal with dim lighting and saying all sorts of gushy stuff about the person you’re with,” Adventurer continued, drifting back to the middle of Main Street.

“There’s Blood Tavern,” Florus remarked, steering Adventurer towards the familiar tavern. “Let’s stop there.”

“Alright,” Adventurer agreed. They entered the tavern and sat down at a table. The lighting in the tavern was dim since it was late afternoon, which meant Adventurer had to squint a bit to see Florus’s face clearly.

“Tell me something, Adventurer,” Florus said as a waiter brought them each a mug of mead. “What do you really think of me?”

That was unexpected. Adventurer nearly choked on her sip of mead, coughing a few times before she could speak. “Excuse me?”

“You heard me,” Florus teased, folding her hands and leaning her chin on them, grinning broadly.

“I, uh…” Adventurer tried to look anywhere but directly at the princess, her eyes catching instead on the flower now tucked behind her ear. Had she really liked it that much? “I think you’re… cool?”

“Is that it?” Florus folded her arms on top of the table and laid her head there, her eyes half-closing as if she was about to fall asleep. But Adventurer knew better—it was the same way Florus had tricked her into doing her bidding time and time again. Mostly in the form of battle training. Damn practice swords…

Adventurer sighed. There was no getting out of this. “I think you’re amazing, Princess. You’re strong, you care about your kingdom, and you light up any room you walk into.”

That seemed to satisfy the princess more. Sitting up, she stretched her arms over her head. “I have two more questions. First, what’s the name of this holiday, again?”

“Valentine’s Day,” Adventurer grumbled, the name sounding like a curse coming out of her mouth.

“Interesting. And is kissing involved on this holiday of yours?”

Okay, that got her attention. “Wh-what? Why would you—?” she stammered, but it was too late. Florus was leaning closer, and for a moment, Adventurer panicked. The princess wasn’t actually going to kiss her, was she?

In the split second that their lips seemed like they were going to touch, Florus moved, and she pecked the tip of Adventurer’s noise with a chuckle. “Another time, perhaps,” she said, standing and leaving some coins on the table for the mead. “Oh, and I swiped some chocolate for you,” she added, sliding a singular square of chocolate across the table.

Words refused to come out of Adventurer’s mouth as she sat staring at the chocolate. Had she just gone through an entire Valentine’s Day date with the princess? Her? An avid hater of all things Valentine’s?!

“Come on, Adventurer! It’s time to train more!” Florus called as she made her way to the tavern’s exit.

Blinking rapidly to dispel the fog in her brain, Adventurer pocketed the candy and followed the princess, still reeling from the realizations of the past few minutes.

Florus was definitely going to kick her ass in training later.

[genork-the-fandork]

Well, this isn’t necessarily an event, as I have something a little bigger planned for when Kortia Chapter 4 drops (hehe), but I wanted to do something for my favorite holiday, Valentine’s Day!

This is probably a thing elsewhere or for other games, but with my started semester, my brain don’t work all too well as is, so pardon any lack of originality on my part. 😅 

In any case, this is pretty simple!

Send me a character from the Main 7! (Gerald, Zeno, Dyclos, Kor, Florus, Luna, or Alexis)

Tell me the gender of Adventurer you prefer! (If you don’t specify, I’ll do gender neutral c: )

Give me a situation, scenario, anything you want! Are Adventurer and Alexis going on a picnic for Vallauria’s version of Valentine’s Day? (Does Vallauria have one...?) Is Zeno about to confess his love for Adventurer? (O_O) It’s up to you!

On February 14th, I’ll have written all of your requests, and I’ll post them on this blog for your reading pleasure!

Sound simple? Then feel free to send me a request!

You can send as many requests as you want (but please be reasonable, I have homework---) as soon as you see this announcement!

I’ll make another little announcement when I’m done accepting requests, which will probably be sometime on February 12th.

Happy Valentine’s Day, Kortia fans!

Love, Gen <3
