"Are ya kiddin' me?! A vegetable salad?" Puck pulled a face in disgust. "Do I look like a herbivore to ya? I think not!" Technically she looked like a human from planet Earth. Sooo, yes, she did look like someone who'd eat a vegetable salad.

[prismaticmuses]

"... So. You gonna tell us what's going on, or do we just get to sit here and wait for you to get randomly kidnapped again?"

Puck grimaced and, even though he could see again, turned his eyes away. "Like I said, long story."

Night shrugged. "I mean, we're here now. You know I'm just gonna keep bugging you until you tell me."

Finally, Puck turned to look at Night with a pitying smile. "Aww, you care about me~. That's so sweet~. Have I ever told you your ears are really cute?"

Night flushed and growled, "Stop changing the subject! Why the fuck were you getting kidnapped?!"

"Uuuugh," Puck threw his head back and slid down in his seat exasperatedly. "Fiiiiine. I'll try to stick to the relevant shit. So, obviously, you know I'm from Fae, right? I honestly don't remember if I told you or Sunil any of this. I probably did at some point. Maybe. ... The point is, I fucking hated it there. Wait, first, probably pretty important- did I mention that I used to be the Prince of Fae? I guess, Prince Regent? What do you call someone who was a ward of the Queen?"

"I don't know, but Prince sounds pretty close. Holy shit, you're royalty?! No wonder you're such a prick sometimes."

Puck grinned. "I'll take that as a compliment. But seriously, though, I felt like one of those fairy-tale princesses stuck in their towers. That was pretty much my life for a looong time. I was like, Titania's fucking prized possession. She couldn't have kids- supposedly- and so I guess she... adopted me? I was really fucking young, I don't actually remember anything about my life before Fae.

"Regardless, she was a bitch to me, fucking took my fucking eyes outta my head when I was like eight or some shit to 'teach me a lesson' and 'be an example to others' because I did one stupid thing for the King. It was a fucking prank, dude. Note to whoever it concerns: Do not fuck around with a powerful-ass woman who can literally have you executed for whatever the fuck she feels like.

"Aaaanyway. I was only allowed outside the castle if I had an escort. Like a fucking dog on a leash. I came with my only friend at the time, Koko Yukon-"

"Wait, like the hotel lady?"

"-Right, that was kinda the reason for the trip. She wanted- I mean, her dad was in charge- 'In Charge,'" he emphasized with air-quotes, "at the time, but they were hoping to expand out of Fae and whatever, blah blah blah, I came to Apricus with Koko, and we made a plan together to fake my disappearance and/or death so I could live free here in Apricus, away from all the shit back at the castle."

"Long story short-?"

"Too late. So anyway, I get to Apricus, meet up with some shady-ass dude in some underground place, he offers me a deal that would make it so I never existed. I did it to start fresh, right?" Puck's face fell again and he looked down at his feet. "... The worst of it was... Koko. I tried to talk to her at the Hotel's Grand Opening in Apricus, and... she didn't know me. It hurt. A lot more than I thought it would...."

"Regardless," Puck shook his head, "most everyone did forget me who had known me from Fae. But I always had this gut feeling that Titania wouldn't forget that easily. Now, I don't know if she completely remembers who I am.... I don't think she does, otherwise I would've probably been kidnapped way before now. But she knows someone is missing that she 'owns' and wants it back. ... Does that answer your questions?"

Night frowned. "... Not completely.... How the hell did you find someone who could literally erase you from history?! Like, that's fucking wild. Was that his Awakened Power?"

Puck shrugged. "I don't know, maybe? He gave me a coin that I can't get rid of...." He pulled the coin out of his coat pocket and turned it over in his fingers to catch the light. "But yeah, that's my story."

"... Well that sucks."

"Yup. It really fucking does...."

Anyone have any favors they need?

[text] “I know it’s four am but are you awake?”

[text] Up and showered, thanks to a morning drill. What’s up, buttercup?

[text] If this is gonna end up getting spicy ‘cause you decided you do actually wanna take a climb on Mount Puckastud, original recipe, then can it wait like.. thirty minuets? Not that I won’t wanna see what you got going on under those button-ups, but I’m sat in a room with three other dudes. I’m all about ‘all for one’ with my boys, but I’d rather not share that.

“are you even wearing pants??”-> You pick the muse, against my Spence.

Puck looked down at his bare waist then back to the screen on his phone, wondering how he even knew to ask. “Are you asking me because you really wanna know or are you asking for a dick pic?”

"Hey, Hugo! Nice work. Kinda looks like she let you win, though."

"Bro, who the fuck was that?"

"I know that bitch. Why are they here? They weren't in the Hecaball team.... Shit. That means.... Fuck."

"What's up?"

"This is probably not going to end well for me...."

"The fuck are you talking about?"

"N-not- um- Don't worry about it. Good job out there, Hugo."

"...Thanks...?" As Puck seemed to anxiously smile and walk away, not even bothering to throw the pair a couple of finger-guns, Hugo leaned into Night and whispered harshly, "What the fuck is your friend's problem?"

Night shrugged. "Who knows. He's just weird. Still, I trust him well enough that we should probably still keep an eye on that Mariposa person. They could definitely mean trouble."

“I really would like more people to interact with, things have been kinda quiet as of late and I’m up for interaction.” Puck sighs a bit as he looks around Tumblr, hoping there might be someone who would be interested in spending time with him.

"It's too damn hot to do anythin' 'round 'ere," Puck complained. Standing there with the coffee pot in her hand. She was wearing a yellow waitress uniform with cowboy boots underneath. The worn ceiling fan above her hardly working. Her boss was too stingy to replace it with a new one. He was a stingy bastard to start with which made Puck wonder why she was so loyal to him. She hadn't gotten a raise since she started working there at age 15 and she worked their for little over a decade now. Oh well. At least he had given up on getting her to wear something else than her beloved boots.

*in response to the Tournament Announcement*

"Hmm.... Tournament and prizes sounds cool.... But this whole 'grand prize' shit's kinda sus. I don't think I should be fucking around with any 'granting desires' shit agai-"

"Wait. ... If... If what Hades did was real... and these guys are supposed to be the 'most powerful people in the world'.... Maybe.... Naaah.... But what if...? Hmm...."

"Hey, Sunil! You wanna kick some international-ass with me?"

[tinkerfairymusings-blog]

"It's too late to apologise." stuck

Yeah, right. You know you'll come around for the Puck-meister. The ladies always do. 

I'll give it a week, chick Evans.

"Santa" has made his first stop with more to come. Night has received a "collector" series Taco Felon action figure, and Void Katz sweatshirt. Hugo has received a very small piece of metal, enough to make a small knife from. It's a bit of the rare "space" metal that comes from the meteor that crashed ages ago. Sable receives a new set of paint brushes complete with a carrying case. Puck has received a pair of designer sunglasses. They don't do anything extra, just a pair of nice looking sunglasses that he can wear over the new augmented eyes. Rudolph has received a pair of gloves made in Nivis. They are extreme cold resistant and heavy duty outside while the inside is a soft almost fur like material. (Mun note: He'll be back to drop off things to your other muses)

"Oh, cool! Thanks, St Suniva/Santa! I'm just gonna put this figure away...."

"Ooooooooh shit! Let's fuckin' GO!"

"Aw~! I love the case. And the brushes are so cute~! Nice variety of sizes, too. I'm definitely gonna be using these."

"Fuck, yeah~. Cool shit."

He is very grateful, but feels bittersweet- a common occurrence for Rudolph this time of year.

“Um... hey, Sunil? So there’s this thing I’ve been thinking about doing a lot, and I’d really like you to be with me when I go.... It’s really personal. I would say, ‘I need you,’ but I can’t physically. But I wish I needed you. Does that make sense? Am I making sense? I’m pretty nervous, can you tell?”

Puck leaned  back a bit at the scrutiny. This guy seemed worrisomely familiar.... If he was who Puck imagined, this could be really bad. “Yeah? Well... you’re... freakishly tall. Look, I-I gotta.... There’s a Hecaball game I gotta get to,” at some point. He took a slight step back, then leaned around to try and see past the fellow Faerie. No sign of anyone else....

Part of him was trying to keep calm and remember that he didn’t exist as his old self anymore, so why be afraid of the Fae? The louder part of him was hyped on the paranoia that somehow Titania would still remember him. But then, Koko had originally gone to tell her he was dead, so.... No, knowing the Queen, she wouldn’t believe the story by word alone. She wouldn’t stop until his fate was confirmed. He nearly prayed that this guy wasn't here for her....

**a little scene from a couple weeks before the Nivis trip**

At the Bounty Hunters Guild, Night looks over the board to see what was already taken and if there was anything he could pick up. Someone walks up behind him. He doesn’t really care at first, but glances over his shoulder to see Puck walking over.

Puck looks at the board for less than a full second before turning his attention to Night with a smirk. “Hm.”

“Hm? What?”

“You look good~. I really like your new style.”

“O-...kay.... Um... thanks?”

“Heh, don’t thank me, thank puberty- well, actually, I guess you could thank me, too. I did help.”

“Yes, your fashion insight was really helpful.” Night turns his face away from Puck to stare at the board. “Do we have to keep talking now?”

“Hey, you can walk away whenever you want, kitty-cat~.” He grins.

Night blushes at the nickname with an irritated twitch of his feline ears. Without tearing his eyes away from the board, he grumbles, “God I hate you.”

But Puck knew better at this point. Over the course of the year, the two had been forced to interact at first but slowly started a sort of tentative friendship of their own. Plus, he’d seen Night drunk. The kid was very talkative and much more honest with a little booze in him. “You really shouldn’t lie; it’s uncouth, among other things.”

Not really focused at this point, Night chooses a bounty almost at random to give himself an excuse to leave. “Fuck you.”

Puck doesn’t follow after, but does call out across the hall, “You’d like to, wouldn’t you~?”

“SHUT UP,” Night shouts back, not bothering to stop and confront Puck. He could do that later if he had to stop by the apartment anyway. He shoves open the door to the building and storms out. “Fucking hate that man....”

To the recipients of the preliminary bounty hunter licenses following the Checkmate Event. Congratulations on your new licenses. However, now that processing has been done in full, you have been requested to appear at the Apricus Police Department Headquarters for a weapons and public safety training seminar on Monday, September 5. Graham Tanner, Chief of Apricus City Police

"'However.' Should've known there'd be a catch. Fuck, that sounds really boring.... Ah, well, guess I gotta if I want to keep the license."

---

"Do I even want this...? I mean, Hugo and Cerise are both bounty hunters, and it's not a bad job, I'd be helping people in a way.... It'd also give me an excuse to not work with Dad for a while, and I'd get to share more with Hugo and Cerise.... Sure, fuck it, I'll keep the license, go to the seminar, maybe pick up a couple bounties just for the hell of it. We'll see where it goes."

----

"A seminar? That's like a class, right? So I probably wouldn't have to talk, just listen. Okay, I can do that. Wow, this is going a lot better than I expected! I'm glad they teach people safety before sending them out into the wild to exact justice."
