@moonhund liked this for a lyric starter

"I'm apathetic at this point, 'cause it's been many days since we were alright..." Honestly, she could not tell what more they could ask of her. And she would still do it, but they've been in on one big conflict after another without a day for a pause. No wonder everyone was exhausted. She would fight if needed, but there wasn't much she felt she could care about at the moment except for a few people. "I'm working harder than I need to be." Higuchi had been so young when she joined and yet, she already knew it was going to be hard. But this hard?

Is there anything about mankind that particularly interests Lovecraft?

Does Meursault have a favorite kind of food or texture?

Does Bram have any family? Does he prefer being around others or being alone?

Going to put everything here under a read more since it'll end up being a long post.

Is there anything about mankind that particularly interests Lovecraft?

He's not so much interested in mankind so much as astounded by the differences between them and his own race. How they don't instantly have the skills they need to survive upon birth and instead need to learn them, and how helpless they are in the face of mortality. Maybe the only thing that actually interests him any is humanity's varied sweet confections.

Does Meursault have a favourite food or texture?

Well, funny you asked him of all people, because there's literally a whole scene where he goes full Gordon Ramsay on his teammates. Here's the clip, please watch even if you know nothing about Limbus, it WILL make you laugh.

TLDR, as a stereotypical frenchman, he hates poor quality or "fast" food. Otherwise he's pretty open.

Does Bram have any family? Does he prefer being around others or being alone?

First one, no. He outlived all his family members and wasn't really close to any of them. He was usually in the care of nannies and his parents were out doing some form of commerce or another in some far-off place.

Second one, he's quite equally balanced in that respect. Despite his sanguine temperament, he likes equal time alone and with people, but he's very particular in who he likes for company. He'll flock to you if you're a patron of fine arts, especially older medias, and have an ear for good music. Mayyybe a little more on the introverted side for defensive reasons, but that's over time. He just needs to find the right people to open up to again.

Jono Saigiku. Elite member of the Hunting Dogs. ...Sigma has never met him before, but he knows well that he's someone to be feared.

But why is he visiting the casino now of all times? When Sigma thinks that he may have been exposed, anxiety makes his heart skip a beat - but it's overpowered by the burning determination he feels rising within himself. Of course, it's possible that Jono could be visiting for any number of benign reasons - but regardless, Sigma knows that he'll raise hell for his casino if he has to.

After all, even an ordinary man with no hope of winning can fight until the bitter end.

"I'm honoured to receive a guest of such high calibre like yourself." Sigma's tone is no-nonsense, and he radiates a sense of confident detachment to go with it. But despite how effortless his countenance might appear, it's something he's worked to the bone to achieve.

"You're welcome to entertain yourself here until your heart's content, but... I have to ask. Is there some other reason for your visit?

"Thanks for the help." Caelus smiled, his baseball bat vanishing into a sparkling light as he turned towards the red-haired stranger. He walks over and offers his hand for a handshake. "I'm Caelus." He smiled. "It's nice to finally see a friendly face, I feel like I've been fighting monsters the whole time I've been here."

He pulls his hand back after the shake and looks around for a moment. "Almost everything here seems...." Kind of dead, they trail off in thought.

"Wow, you're a real actual member of The Hunting Dogs, aren't you? You have a sword on you and everything!" the young blonde asked excitedly.

For a girl who's been briefly involved with all sorts of dangerous people and groups over the last few years of her life, Yukari never fails to get excited over meeting someone she hasn't before. Especially someone from a side she isn't particularly familiar with.

"I've never had the pleasure of seeing one of you in person ever before! But I've heard such wonderful things."

Of course she's nervous talking to the man before her. Not only is he a Hunting Dog, but he does not look particularly friendly. But still curiosity far outweighs her fear.

Afternoons in Liyue were a leisurely affair. Most appointments were made for the morning or after lunch, allowing Baizhu time to fill prescriptions and assist walk-ins. Having caught up on the morning's prescriptions, he was about to begin a fresh batch of cold medicine when he heard footsteps enter the lobby.

"Welcome in! I'll be with you in just a moment," he called from the storeroom behind the counter, words chased by a soft grunt as he hefted a crate of qingxin into his arms. When he rounded the corner into the pharmacy, he was met with a familiar face.

"Ah, Chongyun, how good to see you." With hurried steps he set the crate beside the medicinal cauldron with the other ingredients. A smile disguised the way he paused to catch his breath just from such a brief burden. "I don't recall you having an appointment this afternoon. What brings you in today?"

@moonhund - plotted starter.

Maurice hums quietly as he wipes down the bar counter at the end of the day. It's a soothing ritual, tidying up the bar after closing time, the place even cozier without any customers or staff around. It gives Maurice the chance to think, go over the info he's collected, what supplies he has to order, which employee deserves a bonus...

The door clicks open and the stairs leading to the basement level creaks as someone descends them. Strange, Maurice remembers locking the door before starting to clean up. He's probably forgotten. Regardless, it's past the bar's closing time, he has no obligation to serve this one wayward would-be customer.

"Désolé, chérie, we're closed." Maurice says, tone polite but lacking the usual warmth and sweetness he reserves to customers during working hours. He doesn't even bother to look up from where he's busy drying the glasses with a towel.

The person who has entered either doesn't hear him or doesn't care, as they choose to take a sit at the counter, right in front of Maurice. The bartender rolls his eyes and huffs in annoyance. Why must people be like this?

"Are you deaf? I said we're...!" This time he looks up when addressing the persistent person, voice dying in his throat when he sees who they are. White hair tipped with red, closed eyes, a familiar bell earring...

The towel drops from his hand's slack grip while his hold on the glass tightens so much the glass creaks without quite breaking. He stares at that face he hasn't seen in years, stunned beyond words for a moment longer before he finds his countenance once more.

"Well well, look what the fox dragged in~" Maurice purrs, a sharp smile stretching his lips for a moment before he slams the glass still in his hand on the counter, the sound echoing in the empty bar, and this time the glass shatters for real, only the bartender's glove preventing the shards from injuring his hand.

"What do you want after all these years, putain de renard?" Maurice's tone and expression have turned downright glacial, the sheer contempt in his voice as sharp and cold as an ice dagger.

"I don't know what you want from me." [ from jono ] - @moonhund

There was two ways this could go, yet Higuchi feared than lying would do her no good as he should be able to realize that. As proved before, she was not that good at lying and her heartbeat would betray her in a second. The mafiosa really wished she had to deal with someone else, someone easier to deceive instead of having to resort to honesty and hope for a better outcome than him suddenly remembering she was a criminal. Why did it need to be her? Didn't they realize by now that she was not good at that? And couldn't it be that it was better to look for the Agency in that matter? Even if they were enemies, they proved easier to deal with than the military. But being the Boss' orders, there was no way she would defy them. Still, she couldn't help but wonder if he was somehow testing her. Or if he had a plan that she could not fathom. To try and use The Hunting Dogs, that was bold. But Higuchi was nothing more than a messenger and would get the short end of the stick if that ended up blowing up in her face.

"I must say that nothing happens in our turf without the Mafia knowing. And that includes any rising organization made from ability users that think they can do business without the Mafia's approval." Opening her hand, the metal briefcase she was holding was left to fall to the ground. They managed to include all the information they gathered about that particular group and that was what she was in charge to bring. "The Boss thought you might be interested in them. Or, we can just kill them and be done with it." The blonde did her best to keep her voice calm, but she felt as she could faint if her heart beat any faster. She really wished that would not end badly. Higuchi had always been prepared for the worst, but that was not how she wished to go.

"Th-... thank you, my friend. I don't know what came over me." They know precisely what came over them although perhaps not the terms associated with such an episode.

One moment, the bard had been enjoying the festivities, clapping along as a number of Mondstadters danced together amid music and drinks, and in the next someone set off fireworks far too close and far too unexpectedly to where Venti sat.

In a flash, the images before Venti's eyes transformed, laughing happy faces becoming those of friends long past, expressions frozen masks of rage or agony, staring unseeing up at the wind sprite. The fireworks' gunpowder had reeked of battlefield smoke, coating Venti's throat and threatening to choke them anew. Suddenly, they'd felt as small and helpless as the wisp they'd been born as, and in a panic, the bard toppled off the barrel they'd sat upon and made a stumbling escape.

Venti doesn't know if Vennessa had witnessed any or all of the instance; they only know that abruptly, she's there, catching them by the shoulders and easing their back against a wall. Her burning presence and the solidity of the stone wall grounds the anemo archon, scattered winds called back home as Venti's vision begins to clear. Still their heart pounds in thin chest, trembling from head to toe, but there is a small mercy in the phantoms of an ancient war no longer looming immediately before them, ushered back into the quieter recesses of their mind.

Weakly, but valiantly, Venti presents Vennessa with a watery smile. "I guess I had a little too much wine, huh? Haha... ha..."

@moonhund from here.

No one needed to tell her outright that Venti sometimes wore their cheerful exterior like a mask, concealing their true emotions when they didn't wish to bog others down. The flippant rapscallion that others dismissed the Archon as masked old hurts and countless losses through the eons, carrying those burdens with a smile and a song to dissuade worry. But, as one of those people left who had lived through so much with them, as the pair had worked assiduously to reform Mondstadt from the plights the nobility had corrupted it with, she could tell when something was wrong in the bard. Drinking copiously was one thing, but the reaction to the fireworks had her worry overtly.

Thankfully, no one seemed to truly notice, too dazzled by the display to think much of the bard, and for once... Vennessa was grateful for it. Steadying him by the shoulders seemed to help, but it wasn't enough to simply laugh off.

"Venti." Without thinking twice, Vennessa enveloped them in an embrace; not so tight as to be suffocating, but anchoring enough that they wouldn't feel as though the ground would fall through at their feet. From the loud pop and sizzle of the fireworks, she could tell her friend wasn't well in their presence. Withdrawing from the hug, she linked their arms together and strode away from the raucous celebrations in favor of the nearby Cathedral that was thankfully nearby, most of the city amassed in the Cathedral's central square where the fireworks were being launched from.

"Do you want to talk about it?" she prompted gently once she had guided them to sit within one of the pews, the cathedral almost devoid of people but thankfully muffled the sound of the fireworks immensely.

Headcanon question time!

Are any of your muses good with kids? If so, which ones would you trust to babysit? Which ones would you consider least responsible enough to trust to babysit?

thank you for the question please enjoy the answer delivered in graph format. Short explanations for placements clockwise from top right.

Persephone doesn't spend time with kids very often, and doesn't think about them much, but she's not bad with them in rare opportunities. Yi-Chun is consummate big-sister energy, she's got snacks and a positive attitude and will cheer you up. Jason is basically a cool uncle in some ways, and has very strong opinions about taking care of kids. Rio is the baby of her family, so she doesn't know how to take care of little kids super well, but she remembers some things from how her brothers and parents raised her. Kousuke is a little boring, but he does his best and you can trust him to be responsible. Hana loves kids, she will eat snacks and game with them and forget all the important stuff she needs to do. Kiyomi wants cool big-sister energy, but she's definitely not there yet. Anzu is just Not That Responsible, but at least she's fun! Amour is like, ethically opposed to rules because of his own upbringing, so he would just let kids do whatever they want as long as it didn't kill them. Izumi, even as an adult, needs an adult. She is not an authority figure. Tsubasa is prone to focusing on their own things, plus they'd probably teach the kids skate tricks that would leave them with bruises and scuffed-up furniture. Maxi just doesn't really care for kids in general. He's polite about it but he lives a very adult life and children aren't a part of his vision for that life in any capacity. Hela is a murderous space alien with daddy issues and a temper. I feel like that speaks for itself. Juste is a very old vampire. She doesn't feed from children, and being in that she sleeps during the day, she rarely encounters them. If they become creative and ambitious adults, then she'll see them then. Maki is the Ultimate Child Caregiver, after all (lie). She doesn't necessarily like them but she Will protect them. Shinobu comes off as scary and stern, but they're responsible. When it comes down to it, she'll take care of a kid in need, all while chastising them.
