Snippet Sunday 22/9

I'm takin' a break from the chores of it all to share you a thing :3

from birthday present #2, I present; name games with the Fair Folk!

~~~

Calico tilts his head, thinking. "I don't know. It might not take."

"I'll give it a shot." Briar swivels on their heel to face Calico amongst the graves. "How do we do this?"

Calico hesitates. "Are you sure?" The hunger of it all makes him hesitate, makes him slip and if he had been any younger - if he had known them any less-

"Yes."

He pushes his aviators onto his head and blinks as his eyes kaleidoscope with unbidden glamour.

briar lets out a quiet gasp, their face softening.

"Make your deal, Mortal." The compulsion lies thick on Calico's tongue. A strain to call it up, a strain to keep it in check.

"A name for a name, Faye," Briar says, offering their hand. "I'll give you mine in exchange for the use-name of your cousin." They sound a little dazed, and Calico hopes they aren't about to give him their actual name. "I accept, Mortal. Give me the name your parents gave you." He takes Briar's hand.

Clouds scud across the sky and the sun lights them up in sudden warmth.

Briar tells him their deadname like they're dreaming. It doesn't suit them, but then - it's not theirs. Never ha been. Never will be again.

"My cousin's use-name," Calico says, and stutters over the unknown of it all, "my cousin's use-name is-"

Pink hair and seaweed eyes, a flowing skirt over bare feet, waistcoat whirling about keir as ke spins and darts back, beckoning for Calico to follow.

He feels proud of keir, to have come with him, to have joined his family, despite everything. Despite him and Robyn and what they'd done.

What he'd done.

He adored keir. He'd set the worlds alight for keir.

(He gave up his name when ke asked, gave up his memories when told, gave up - gave up - gave up-)

"Tayse," Calico says, the name sharp on his tongue like a broken key.

He'd drop to his knees under the weight of the memories (the guilt) but Briar has hold of him.

They've stepped closer, hand still clasped in his, and have him against their side, arm looped around their waist.

"Are you alright?" they ask. "Did that - work?"

"Briar suits you far better," Calico says. "I think it did."

"Your cousin is Tayse. Do you... know what happened to keir?"

"Not entirely." Calico pushes himself upright. "But I'm going to find out." He feels more - settled than he has in a long time. More power at his fingers (on his tongue) but more control, too.

Prompt 119

Another divine twitch chat Au? Another divine twitch chat Au. With a bit of a twist. 

Billy would like to say it is in fact not his fault. It’s really not. Who hits someone with magic they obviously don’t know how to use? Well okay maybe he had done that before, but it’s not like he ever did it around other people where they could get hit! 

But someone was an idiot and now he’s here, as his normal ten-year old self kicking his legs while sitting in the Watchtower as the others argued. Apparently the League thinks he’s been de-aged, which is good as his secret isn’t out. 

The uh, issue is that something about the spell might have um, partially manifested the gods- or as he called them the Mediterranean Magic Men, if only because of how annoyed it made Zeus. Now everyone can see the chat that’s usually only visible to him and apparently it’s concerning. 

He doesn’t see how it’s an issue, Zeus has been silenced for the next hour and Hercules has been dying of laughter for the last three. Oh, wait, it might be from Mercury’s constant attempted flirting with Flash. …Or the fact they’re trying to convince him to commit a crime and he’s honestly down for doing so seeing as he’s a homeless ten year old who is down for getting clairvoyance and super speed for the next thirty minutes in exchange…

2014-2017 WoW lore is so funny because it would be someone saying something like "DNI if you think any of this character's actions were justified. I am NOT arguing about this anymore, you all make me sick." so you google the character and open images and you just get this

Made an outlaw rogue for Pandaria Remix

He's meant to be a typical undead adventurer: morbid humor, kinda creepy, dubious morals, showed up out of nowhere and isn't an enlisted recruit but he's here to help and happy enough to be useful

happy storyteller saturday! what are the four different magic types in soul of the party? :O how do they work? what types work best together or does it not really matter?

Hi hello happy storyteller saturday and yes I can!

So we have;

Soul magic - this world's homegrown magic, uses people's life-force to fuel itself (either the caster's or the focus). Can be used for healing or mind control :3 can also be set into objects for use later, which can be triggered by anyone even if they don't have soul magic themself. This is the only one of this set that can be used by anyone! Possibly the most versatile bc of that.

Feral mages - animal companions, my beloved. Can share senses/see through them etc, not so much talk as vibe/understand via feelings n that. Eventually can bond fully into one form! They're furries! Fully bonding comes with its own risks tho, what with balancing two minds. Sometimes the human is consumed more (see Skilkran, who was uh. Pushed into it by a forest spirit (he's not in this story)) or the animal is (see Tamhas/Tadhg, who did not wait for instruction before they fell into it). If the balance is correct, you get Kaua and Jasper, who have fun li'l elemental powers. Ish. Jasper has fire! Kaua is uh. She can hit people with her words. I'm working on that one.

Arch mages - stupid OP lads who don't use their magic much because it leeches their sanity. Tend to be up themselves. That might just be Skir. Incredibly versatile but difficult to finetune when using - takes a hell of a lot of practice to get it right. Can't be set into anything, can only be used by the mage themself. Might be able to be used in concert with others (if Skir and Lisetta got on at all that could be a fun experiment) but the control needed on the part of the arch mage not to overwhelm everyone involved would be intense

Green witch - bastard destruction magic. Probably needs a new name but uhh yeah haven't don't that yet. Stupid powerful but yeah can really only destroy. Uses the thing to destroy itself! Can fuck up other people's magic! Can? Bastardise other magics? The green witch here forced her way into soul magic as an act of desperation, which is kinda how she ends up as she does (sharing Elise's body). This is about force and overpowering and bullying things until they go your way

They all have their separate uses? The ferals get mentioned most bc they're... the largest part of the cast oops. I should bring in more soul mages than just like. The antagonists and also Nuvian's buddy.

can we talk about how nesta and aelin would absolutely LOVE eachother?

both of them were groomed by a parental figure, both had a rough childhood, both are scared of vulnerability and lash out at others out of anger, both eventually found friendships that helped heal them and teach them to depend on others, both are selfless and loving — they're so similar. they'd absolutely be that intimidating duo you watch from a distance that would have each other's backs no matter what.
