“This sinner is one of the more intellectually gifted in your entourage. However, it is advised that you take measures to keep him in line, as his reckless nature can lead him to rash action if he feels as if nothing is getting properly done.

[NOTICE]: This sinner appears to be infected with some sort of unknown disease. There is no need to worry, however; as it does not appear to be contagious. Even so, it is in your best interests to take caution when this sinner has the occasional coughing fits and fatigue.”

ABOUT THIS ASKBLOG:

This is an askblog for a Limbus OC based off of… well, Five Pebbles from Rain World. I have never ran an askblog before, but I wanted to try it out, so here we are.

hi

I'm ouri (they/he, 27). I'm the #3 sinner from lcb-2, and before anyone asks - yes, lcb got so big that they had to split it

the ones you guys are probably more familiar with are lcb-1. there might even be an lcb-3 at some point, if that ever becomes needed

my pfp is me on a day off. I'm about 5'6", if you were wondering

particulars: scarf muncher. may or may not be abnormal. "time is a flat circle" / "I just gotta make it to friday" energy

color: verdant green emoji: ♾️ subtitle: eternity

this oc exists in two mirror worlds. in the other one, they're an info agent in lc / tech. sciences assistant in the library. for that one, see @agent-librarian-ouri

ouri's basis/source is general mythical and symbolic motifs. idk if that even really counts as a literary source, tho, especially when it's been featured in so many stories

there's something funny about how gregor is the only one in the entire group that you don't have any negative opinions on

What's your opinion on all the sinners? -⚖️

That's a very unprofessional thing to ask. An hr disaster waiting to happen...

I have seen you talk about how Hong Lu act around Sinclair due to them being both from rich family, but do you think there is a connection to be made from Heathcliff to Hong Lu, considering they are also both from rich family but didn't get a really, let say, nice upbringing?

An interesting thing to think about, as there very much might be a connection, but not in the way you might think.

First of all, it's important to remember that until Canto 6, as far as we know nobody knew Heathcliff was raised by a wealthy family. Heathcliff being from the Backstreets was something most of the Sinners clocked very early on. Rodya would poke fun at him for being unrefined multiple times. In fact, him being revealed to have been raised at Wuthering Heights is a pretty major scene, with the Sinners being surprised and Rodya even saying she feels a little betrayed.

As such, until Canto 6, Hong Lu's treatment of Heathcliff cannot have anything to do with their similarities in horrible upbringing among a rich family, simply because Hong Lu would have no way to know that.

All Hong Lu would know until then is that Heathcliff is from the Backstreets, is extremely easy to provoke, and is notably impatient towards the oblivious way Hong Lu carries himself. All of which, like I mentioned in a previous post, makes Heathcliff into an easy target for Hong Lu to bully because nobody would put the blame for Heathcliff's outbursts on Hong Lu's provokations, not with Heathcliff's reputation and pattern of behavior.

Then comes Canto 6. Where Heathcliff is revealed to not only have been living in a wealthy mansion and in an environment Hong Lu appears to find familiar, what with his constant comments comparing things to his own home, but also to have been severely abused by his family.

This appears to have some effect on Hong Lu's treatment of him. Notably, while he starts off the Canto giving a lot of anecdotes and frankly silly comparisons, he appears to mellow out and take things much more seriously after Heathcliff tears up a pillow to find Cathy's dairy. From that point on, Hong Lu seems to show a degree of genuine concern for Heathcliff, being the only Sinner besides Dante to notice he disappeared, and the only one who asks him if he's okay once he came back.

After Canto 6, we no longer see Hong Lu actively tease Heathcliff. There's only one moment where Hong Lu brings up Heathcliff in a manner that could be considered insulting, by comparing Heathcliff's hostility towards him to that of his own Family in TKT, but that happens when Heathcliff isn't around to hear it and thus wouldn't be affected by what Hong Lu said.

It's clear that Canto 6 caused Hong Lu to view Heathcliff differently, to the point he no longer tries to provoke him. Sure, he still makes it clear that he's not particularly fond or trusting of him through that comment in TKT, but he's no longer actively antagonistic towards him. Which. Makes sense I think.

If Hong Lu has shown any pattern towards what Sinners he seems to become more amicable to, it's towards those he's able to relate to. Being able to relate to Yi Sang is why ever since Canto 4 Hong Lu can be regularly seen checking in on Yi Sang whenever he gets reminded of his past, whether through his meeting with Rim in Canto 5 or by seeing what was being done to his research in Canto 6.

Thus, similarly, being able to relate to Heathcliff could be what made Hong Lu stop his bullying of him.

I read Dante uptie stories to help them sleep.

They snore. It's kinda adorable.

Q: Sinclair from Los Mariachis, did your subordinates ever not take you seriously? How you dealt with them?

remember kids, violence is not the answer

violence is the question and answer is yes

i don't have the screenshots on hand because this is just a thought i needed to let out after being woken up by my buildings fire alarm at 7am (i am in shambles, thanks for asking) but back at the start of canto 7 i was trying to figure out what in the Fuck hong lu meant by don quixote being 'the most lucid' of the sinners and eventually my read was that she's the one who's most clear on what she wants because hong lu brought up how her eyes are sparkling and the two times dante notes someone's eyes sparkling in that episode (?) were when don talks about saving all the people in la manchaland and when charon says she wants to eat candy at an amusement park, and also this would very nicely mirror the bit in the final sancho fight when dante ruminates about how so far they've been trying to help the sinners out of their issues by figuring out what they want and then promising it to them but with sancho she doesn't want anything because everything she's wanted as don quixote was part of that dream that she's now woken up from (especially with dulcinae talking at length about the difference between sancho and don's eyes)

but like..... there's one other thing about eyes that dante notices in that early episode

so i'm wondering if this is an idea that's gonna come back in canto 8, that dante's old tricks aren't going to work here either because hong lu just doesn't really want anything for himself when he's been living his whole life surrendering (hah) himself to being used by other people for their own goals

[askyellowstickyys]

are you in the backstreets or the nest?

Backstreets.

Because Limbus Company would not expense me housing in the Nest.

I mean Im used to it but whatever.

Heres a picture of the outside of the room. The Building sorta looks up towards the nest but you cant see anything really. Its not much but hey the lights are pretty at night.

Just letting you know that out of all of my children I'm keeping a bright red eye on hong lu (⁠✿⁠^⁠‿⁠^⁠)

You have been warned!

Faust is aware, despite the inevitability of what will come to pass, your acknowledgement of this outcome is valuable.

For what it's worth, Faust would gladly offer tea and a sit-down to discuss your work if it were not for the intangible and almost hallucinatory nature of your appearances... save for this instance, of course. While Mephistopheles and Yi Sang's Mirror are imperfect solutions to the problem of Mirror World indistinction, it is not a solution applicable to this current communication method. While a solution to this problem would be insignificant sans that of many others, I hope it demonstrates the lengths Faust would be willing to go for the insight that may come from such a discussion.

That is to say, do come again at your convenience, should that be in person then I will bring my best coat.
