@malkhes replied to your post “"Why does he get to bite people, but I get in...”:

no , no , you SHOULD bite . whatever . whoever .

"...hey, don't you worship, like, a murder god or something, Old Man? It's cool you're, like... a supportive parent or whatever, but also I probably shouldn't take advice from you."

@malkhes sent : ❛ tell me that you don’t want this - lie to yourself. ❜

❛ why should i ? ❜ lying was dishonest , dishonesty was a crime against her ver nature . the occasional lie that caused no harm , sure , but one drenched in those fickle emotions . . . certainly not . was he afraid , fearful of what he could do , or afraid that she may remain ? like the gentle breeze of summer nights , lingering so faintly a touch would feel like a ghost . there was an awkwardness about him , something fearful indeed . a hand is gingerly placed upon his arm , brows mingling together as eyes watched him . such a side she had never seen .

❛ i trust you . ❜ her words were kind , kinder than that of any god . do not dare break her trust , shal'van , for she will tear you apart . but for now , savour it , cherish it more than gold . ❛ you haven't feed in days , you must to survive . who better to feed from than me , hm ? ❜ hand is recoiled , moved to shift strands of hair from sheltering her neck . the pain would be sharp yet brief , but anything to aid him . ❛ well , decide where . i know you can feed from any inch of flesh , do not spill any on my clothes . blood is such a nuisance to remove from fabric . ❜

╭ @malkhes ・ “Why are you here?” [x]

entering as he so pleased. even into the lair of such a notable figure. it was not safe from his presence. why, it was just a surprise visit, no? a gathering between confidants. but tone was worth more than a thousand words! he appeared possibly annoyed, bothered. devil so bold would come with open arms, a smirk rather fiendish to match the company he would bring. " oh, how you wound me so. " grin of the mischevious monarch would read otherwise. his saunter never waning. " can't one simply visit an old friend? " tone played the role of innocent, though it should be better known that it was a false guise... — a false guise; much like the form he presented in.

" reclusive in his palace like a maimed beast cowering in fear. questioning why i come here... " words coiled in bold, burning mockery with a dash of exuberant narration. " how interesting indeed. "

[vvarden]

HIS EYES OPEN , AZURE & SHADOW-BLACK , beneath the light of two moons . her presence , a whisper to others , practically screams unto him . she , akin to him somehow , within these cold , dark lands . in ways , now , unknowable . had reality twisted as he slumbered ? he will not let her go so easily . so , he follows , shadows churning as Shal'van vanishes into the night air , his abysmal gaze carving against the woman's daedric visage . the blackened claw of his hand twitching once , calling a spell to calm , should the need arise . the moons slowly fall , and finally , beyond the crunch of dry tundra , sounds someone . from the darkness . the spell shatters . "what a surprise you are ." speaks the vampire , voice low as prowling thunder . bone-white fangs gleaming .

She had an uncanny penchant to notice when she was being followed, even without actively noticing. Was it her nose, her ears... Or did a Nightingale of Nocturnal just know these things? Regardless of the truth, it was the reason she was not terribly surprised upon hearing the crunch of footsteps on the brush.

Honestly, it seemed as time went by that a night without being followed at some point was more the rarity, anyways.

Valvossa turned to face the voice, finding herself near face to face with a vampire. The coloring of the eyes was curious, but there was no mistaking him for anything else. If the teeth didn't give him away, it was the tone of his voice. Predatory and snooty.

“Yeah, good luck getting your fangs through this, buddy.”

She took a step back, one hand falling to the hilt of her sword. Even with a helmet veiling her face, her eyes seemed to ask: What else am I supposed to think here? She wasn't going to be caught surprised at any ill intent. And the intent of a vampire approaching a lone stranger at night spelled anything but.

“What's the surprise? You never see a — uh, I don't know — a lone wanderer before?”

[wolfkcst]

There's another sound that erupts from their throat from his response, a pleased hum that soon turned into a low growl that rumbled deep in their throat. Finally, the wolf-kissed unlatched their jaw and slowly removed their mouth from his arm. While they did not have the sharpest of teeth, their fangs that had some resemblance to a wolf, did a little. Enough to leave a mark, but not entirely injure another. Slowly they glance down at him from where he latched onto their arm, and let out a deep chuckle from their chest. Enjoying is an understatement, they think, but they instead glance at him with a small smirk on bloodied lips. Composing themselves well despite the pain. ❝As do you. I must taste rather good for you to bite into my flesh again, but I think that's enough. Unless you don't mind taking me to dinner first, that is.❞ Ah, there it is. A low teasing purr that turn into a laugh just after.

THE SOUND WAS GUTTERAL , ONCE . amidst the subtle tearing of flesh , and blood seeping against the whitened bone of his fangs , his elvish ears twitched . another sound . lighter , strangely delicate .

a pleased moan .

shal'van withdrew , a splash of their blood adorning his dark mouth . he clearly wasn't disturbed at such a notion . his own pain , lesser & lesser . almost ignored .

" you sound like you're enjoying yourself , " a slight laugh , pursued by a monstrous smile . just before his jaw took to their flesh once more ------ sharpened fangs digging into their own arm .

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone. The plan for today was to put up an audio Christmas card to wish you all good tidings, but unfortunately, a seasonal illness has taken me out of commission (yes, gods get sick too, did you think hot springs were for your benefit?). So instead of a sentimental audio message, here's a gif of my favorite Christmas movie.

In all seriousness, thank you all for a great first full year of the series. I've learned a lot, and I hope you've all enjoyed listening to me figure out what I'm doing. I especially want to thank Lauren, Phyrus, Jason, Chrisi, Julia, and Delaney for being such a fantastic cast in Duality: I can never thank you enough for giving that story so much life, and I hope to work with all of you again very soon.

I'm not sure what next year holds for the series. I am working on another mini-series in the vein of Duality, featuring some familiar characters. In addition, I would like to do some of the more traditional, anthology style stories of the first two seasons, but unfortunately, my schedule for next year has me unsure of what I'll be capable of doing.

You haven't heard the last of me, but I will be in the mines for a while. I'm gonna work hard to give you all the kind of show you deserve. Thanks for your support. And as always, I hope I've been able to help.

Merry Christmas, Happy Saturnalia, Happy Malkh, etc, etc, Happy Holidays to one and all.

WHAT FLAVOR IS YOUR SOUL ?

VANILLA

oh heart of ice and mind of gold, what am I to do with you? you are only good in small amounts, bittersweet fledgling, you are hard for most to swallow. your spirit is strong, your wit is potent, your biting essence drives even the most daring away. but why are you hiding your sweetness? I know within you, you are soft, but humanity has made you bitter. you mask your pain and sorrow with spite and sensibility. you say you do not care about trivial things, but don’t you? sweetheart relax. you can let down your drawbridge, the waters are not poisoned. I know you have looked monsters in between the eyes and scoffed at them, but please, relax. you think your armor protects you but it is smothering you slowly. little owlet, when will you learn, words can only get you so far? feelings are what makes this world pulse. do not suppress your feelings. your heart can still thaw my dear. trust.

Fun goofs that can be used because my disaster gal is the Ultimate Horse Scare

- Mistaken for a shapeshifting folklore creature known for spooking horses with its presence. With probable running her out of here. And her finding refuge in a neighbouring village and securing lodging and bard gig in peace, because they didn't have horses right there at the moment (all horses are at work!!). By the time runner from another village shows up to warn them about the Scary Creature Of The Wood, nobody really figures out that it was her

- Yet another unfamiliar place where she needs to get, which means a long track on foot or shorter time on horseback. After spooking every riding horse with the prospect of carrying her, she is begrudgingly given a draft horse, who's about the single one who can tolerate her presence. Cue Happy Elva gushing about Fluffy-Footed Calm Horse, while the horse quietly dreams about being back in the barn and away from unfamiliar terrain

- Another horse escapes from being saddled up upon seeing for WHOM. Nobody knows where the Flighty Boy went, and so Malkh gets his time to shine (by sprinting after the escapee at unnatural speed and returning after a while riding the horse bareback. Yes he is showing off)

- "So my options are, horse that hates me, or the ferry that makes me empty my stomach... Eh let's go with ferry, my stomach is empty already"

- Possibility that not only El, but also her entire race are horse repellents, WHICH is why they developed their magical lizard-cat beasts to ride instead. Not just living INSIDE mountains, surrounded by terrain that a normal horse would break its legs on. Ending up with the question of whether or not they are proper elves from others (their own judgement has ever been "we are just Sky People, if you think we could be this or that, we might as well be called that". Their one gripe is with being called "dark elves", as the last time some tribe calling them that showed up, they lost their native mountains and at least quarter of the population. To be fair, House of Midnight went "fuck it, might as well" about it and settled in the underground caves, rather vehemently opposed to friendly relations with anyone but other Houses and the dwarves)

- El scares a horse so badly, the horse seeks protection from someone it would otherwise be scared of, too. El proclaims how it's unfair because this horse just hated them

he’s desperately holding his feral need back to catch the multi-colored butterflies that spawn around her . ✨

The flurry of butterflies intensify. Hypnotic in their chaotic dance. A waltz of temptation, wildly circling their mistress who seems to phase in & out with them before they settle into a cloak-like formation. Floating delicately at her shoulders & down her back. She even gives him a little twirl! Cackling to herself as she senses the fire within him.

Why hold back ? She certainly wouldn't.

"Here boy!" Ara jeers at long last, whistling thrice as she rips the 'cloak' from her shoulders & holds it out as if taunting a raging bull, "Come & get it !!"

Confidence was a breath of fresh air--an assurance of her selection--but even she expected a few inquiries about the task she presented to “Shal”. One could dip their water into the pool of paranoia and anxiety and then just as easily submerge themselves in it, but others smartly toed the line of caution and recklessness, and it seemed Shal was neither. He was fully confident in his own skill and it made her raise an eyebrow in curiosity and wonder if this was a ploy to charm his leader.

       Her lips curved into a smirk and she tilted her head. ❝ Very well, ❞ she started, taking his confidence as fact and the go-ahead. ❝ Speak to the contract, do as they wish, and represent us well, Brother. That’s all I recommend for this job. It’s risky, from what I gather, but the pay will be so worth it if you leave all but one witness alive to tell the tale. It should give us the terror we deserve to strike into the heart of Skyrim’s people. ❞
