[enatranced]

no need to respond to this one, just a heads up: the analysis paper will be on your desk soon frau enatranced!

you handed it in early!

I'll be keeping this one as an exemplary paper, some parts for literary, some for private reasons.

[ao3wasntenough]

Tell us about Jet Sammmm he got fun design

IT IS TIME

Jet Sam has been a journey and more, him and the lore and stories I’ve been building and exploring wouldn’t have been possible without @justayoungling , truely they’ve probably cultivated my skill more than I could do on my own so let’s get into exploring the journey Sam has been on,

So the first frame for jet!Sam was created for the ugly duckling au, exploring the isolation and alienation from both humanity and cybertronians

He’s delicate, feels to flimsy and not very fit for his frame. Clumsy and prone to denting he often felt like something was always trying to break out, power that didn’t have the room it needed but had no words or the experience to know what to do with it or explain it. The autobots on the site with him somewhat knew his history of human to metal, destructor of the allspark. Not liking the human name “Sam” Sunstreaker and Sideswipe give him the new name “Prisam” a play on prism, a comment on how his wings would fracture the light like a prism.

Then I started talking with @justayoungling and they introduced their boyo atlas!

And so it started a spin off au where Windblade introduced them and Atlas saw Sam as a reflection of him, a young lost bot who seemed to have fate on his shoulders. Atlas having traces to ancient relics like the matrix, primes and the allspark, something we explored heavier later down. Atlas having small future visions and feeling that being with Sam is where he needed to be. So despite Sam’s reluctance they became fast friends.

Atlas having not known Sam as a human, Sam didn’t come across freaky-alien weird to Atlas, just another weird bot, but it’s okay because Atlas can be weird with him too, being a huge help to getting Sam comfortable flying

Together he and Sam forge a strong brotherhood, not many more jets flying around and they both need more socialising, flying frames enjoying flying with trines or in formation with each other a good thing for them. Finding themselves and their own path beside just following the next command from Prime.

Sam regardless of body, was made by Primes, something deep in his spark no matter of self dissonance he would always try to do the Prime thing. Something that came to head, a autobot spacecraft crashing down, it would have impacted and destroyed a large area and possibly kill the bots inside. Sam, Atlas and Windblade being the only flying autobots there was very little anyone else could do. So Sam chose to throw himself onto the craft, the heat and pressure of a crashing ship weilding himself to the ship trying to change its direction into the ocean. As the ship impacted the ocean the crushing force, the shock of heat to ice chilling water…

It worked. And only cost one bot.

But being a Prime, you never really stay dead, and Optimus trying to mourn and maybe give Sam some honor and peace in “death” he sent the some of the dust from the matrix into the ocean Sam lay at the bottom of.

Awakening and reformatting him into his second frame. And so rose from the ocean

Prismatic Prime

Who’s definitely gone through his own journey of designing! When he came from the ocean, there was only so much material to reformat with, considering how much it took to originally make his first frame. His wing panels so destroyed he had broken remnants of flight gears and not all completely functional. But Ratchet is nothing but a miracle mech and some serious dubious and unstudied medical work, they were able to graft the parts given to Optimus by jetfire to Sam.

Leaving him with the Cybertron equivalent of nerve damage to his wings, little feeling and he doesn’t carry them or emote with them like many expected behaviours of jets.

A Frankenstein of a mech if any medic got a good look under his plating

So I wanted to capture the essence of jetfire, in Sam, choosing the nighthawk (right) to carry on the blackbird (left)

Which was very technical and I’ve seriously grown my mech building skills from

the first concepts

First very similar to jetfires silhouette.

-large

-spooky

to the middle unrefined but clear image

I loved the idea of his Prime form being a contrast to Optimus and Rodimus, a jet, something more Unicron inspired like a warning, not to forget the evil that may come for anyone, Megatronus comments about how evil humanity felt manifesting for Sam to then use to invoke good with, preservance, determination an unrelenting and powerful spirit.

Colouring is not my strong suit. It’s ment to be like a burned and singed body compared to his te

to the refined stage!

I am very happy with his look, I made the wings easier to draw and more easier to read and relate to the nighthawk, and his COLOUR! So much more cohesive! He’s like a black cat of night! His pede talons are retractable but unlike others his servo claws aren’t. Traces of so many bots that made him who he is now, he is a walking history lesson in a language only few can only ever understand half of.

AND OF COURSE HE GLOWS! My little ancient artifact magnet can’t escape the marks of the allspark and primes before him. He’s ment to envoke the ocean, bioluminescence algae. Atlas swears that you can see the faint moving lines and marks on Sam when their not glowing, never gone completely

But truely Sam will never be a finished design, always gonna be trying new things and different things and be inconsistent but I’m really happy with his look now. Something that undeniably is threatening, a hunter, something that stalks the skys and shadows but forever has a warm look in his optics. He may always be mourning who he was, what was lost, but he’s resigned and accepted his now in for a very long game. And might as well take advantage of being “Primely” and force other bots to think he knows what he’s talking about

Maybe I can convey all I want to share and explore with him you all next year! One way to find out, or @justayoungling will be the continuing gatekeeper of all my ramblings and loose ends, can’t praise them enough how enjoyable it’s been with them!

And all the kiddos their sitting on…maybe we should get around to making more post able things to share the fun!

Part Seven

⊶⊷⊶⊷⊶⊷†⊶⊷⊶⊷⊶⊷

Nighthawk: Noun. A recurring thought that only seems to strike you late at night—an overdue task, a nagging guilt, a looming and shapeless future—that circles high overhead during the day, that pecks at the back of your mind while you try to sleep, that you can successfully ignore for weeks, only to feel its presence hovering outside the window, waiting for you to finish your coffee, passing the time by quietly building a nest.

⊶⊷⊶⊷⊶⊷†⊶⊷⊶⊷⊶⊷

"Why are you rearranging everything?" Wednesday asks, her voice dull but tinged with a hint of annoyance.

You look at her sheepishly. "Sorry, I know you're trying to write."

Wednesday sighs, letting the ire settle away. After all, this was your room. But Wednesday had taken your words about coming here for some peace and quiet last week seriously and brought her typewriter the next day to your room, and it's been there ever since. 

Wednesday actively doesn't think about what it could mean that she'd been moving her stuff over into your room slowly because, at the very least, she still goes back to her own to sleep at night. 

She actively doesn't think about anything to do with you during the day.

"Why are you rearranging everything?" Wednesday asks again, her face unimpressed with how you've shuffled your coffee table, the inside of your closet, and how you've been eyeing your bed as if it was next.

You purse your lips as if debating whether or not to tell Wednesday the reason, but when she pinches her eyebrows at you, her gaze becoming more narrow, you relent. 

"I thought it'd be nice to have more room..." you mumble, rubbing the back of your neck.

"You've already optimized the space to its full potential," Wednesday raises her brow at you. "You won't be getting anything more unless you start throwing away things and you own nothing like the miserable orphan you are."

You can't help but laugh.

"I was thinking of giving away the coffee table," you admit with a smile. "One of the gorgon girls in the woodworking class said she could make me an extendable coffee table that I could fit into my closet."

"Why have you asked her? It is doubtful her skills would be superior to mine."

"Because you're not taking woodworking and it would have to be an extracurricular activity to do outside of class, and I feel like there's more interesting things you could be working on," you point out, giving up on rearranging and sitting on your bed.

"Like what exactly?" Wednesday flatly asks, her gaze studying your fictitious nonchalant face. 

"Do you like horror movies?" You ask instead of answering Wednesday's question, which makes the gothic girl's mouth twitch in annoyance. 

"If you're asking if they scare me, then no," Wednesday answers succinctly, with a tilt of her chin. "But I do enjoy watching them if they're done well."

"Me too," you tell her. "I mean, they do kind of scare me but I also kind of enjoy the feeling because then that means the movie was good."

There's a ghost of a smile on Wednesday's lip, too quick for you to see. 

"Which ones have you seen?" Wednesday asks, curious about what your tastes are. "Which ones terrify you the most?" Her eyes are glinting. 

"Not too many," you give her an amused smile. "Remember, I didn't really have access to the internet for entertainment, and I'm not really one for watching it by myself." 

You sit in thought, and Wednesday waits in anticipation. This was the kind of information that Wednesday had been waiting for because it was difficult to gauge what you were afraid of. 

"I think maybe paranormal movies?" You say, your tone lifting at the end like you were unsure.

Wednesday's face fell. "You're scared of ghosts?" She asks, thoroughly unimpressed. 

"Hey," you kick her foot lightly with your own. "How are you supposed to fight something that is already dead? They clearly already have the upperhand."

Wednesday lifts her hands and starts counting on her fingers. "Rituals, spiritual artifacts, using a psychic, destroy whatever is holding their attachment here, become a ghost yourself and—"

"Okay, okay, I get it," you laugh. "I still find them unsettling, though."

"Ridiculous," Wednesday scowls with distaste. "There are far more horrifying and interesting genres."

"Well," you say lightly, and Wednesday looks into your eyes. They gaze into her like they want to draw her in and send a secret message. "Guess you'll have to show me one of these days."

Wednesday wants to ignore the secret message. 

⊶⊷⊶⊷⊶⊷†⊶⊷⊶⊷⊶⊷

"You'll have to show me one of these days."

The words kept repeating in Wednesday's mind, torturing her while she tried to sleep. Usually, it'd be lovely, but Wednesday would've preferred that it was her nightly sleep paralysis afflicting her instead. 

Wednesday had successfully ignored the fact she had won the bet of winning the Poe Cup race. It makes her irate that she’s won yet she feels like she’s been defeated. At least during the day, she was able to ignore it. At night, it haunted her and cost her sleep. 

On top of that, Wednesday was still looking into what her vision could possibly mean. During the day, she spent all her time analyzing you, searching for clues that you might turn on her just like Tyler had. It would be just her luck to have it happen to her a second time. 

But while Wednesday could see something lurking underneath your mask you put on to others, and even sometimes to her, you seemed mindful about the pace to be close. It was different from Tyler, who constantly made it known exactly what he wanted from Wednesday and that he wanted it immediately. 

Wednesday had been snooping around, hoping to trigger another vision, but nothing had come; therefore, she was at a dead end. She supposes she could just bring the issue to your attention and hear your thoughts, but for some unknown reason, she was reluctant. 

"You'll have to show me one of these days."

Damn it all, Wednesday sighs with force.

The task at hand was overdue, and Wednesday wonders if you wonder if she'll keep her word and plan this...date. The idea of being thought of as someone who couldn't keep their vows was disconcerting and disgusting.

This was ridiculous, Wednesday thinks as she removes her covers and sits up. So utterly ridiculous.  

Wednesday Addams never backed away from a challenge, and she was most definitely someone who kept all her threats and promises. 

She grabs a piece of paper, neatly scribbling words onto it before she tosses the pen to the side. 

"Thing," she whispers, even though nearly nothing could wake Enid at this hour. The disembodied hand gets up from his resting place and scuttles quietly over to her. 

"Drop this off and bring me a reply," she tells him. 

He looks at the note and starts signing words to her.

"Yes, what's wrong with what I said? It is succinct."

Thing makes a show of being exasperated with her using his fingers but takes the note and scurries off. 

Wednesday doesn't return to bed, waiting impatiently for Thing to return with her arms crossed, her index tapping her inner arm. It's minutes before the hand returns with a note in return.

"Was she awake?" Wednesday asks, and Thing indicates that you were. He passes her the note.

Wednesday grins, but it looks maniacal.

'Are you threatening me with a date? I thought you'd never ask.'

⊶⊷⊶⊷⊶⊷†⊶⊷⊶⊷⊶⊷

The sounds of Wednesday typing lull you through your headphones. It's a consistent sound, and the only break is when the sound of Wednesday returning the carriage as the page hits the end. 

It was late at night, and it was unlikely for either of you to go out again. Since it's just the two of you in your room, you have your wings out, carefully preening the feathers with your fingers. The scars were healing nicely, but any forceful exertion would make them split open again, and you were not keen on that happening. You're also pretty sure Wednesday would be disgruntled with you if you did as well.

"How are your wings?" Wednesday asks as she takes a break from her writing.

"Sore," you admit, ruffling them lightly. "I can't really stretch them without re-opening the wounds, and they're usually hidden inside my back most days."

"I've been meaning to ask how that works," Wednesday stares at you while you gently massage the sore areas, being very careful of how far your stretch.

"I wish I could explain, but I really can't," you shrug. "It's just innate in faeries to be able to hide their wings. How does it all fit? I'm not sure, really. Most likely evolution and fae magic."

You were really focused, seemingly annoyed with where you couldn't reach. 

"Do you want assistance?" Wednesday offers. 

You freeze for a moment, looking up at Wednesday. The idea of Wednesday's fingers going under the feathers and pressing her fingers carefully against your wing was...a lot.

"Oh, uh," you remove your fingers from your flight appendages. "No, it's okay."

"Why?" Wednesday raises her brow. "You're clearly struggling. Do you not trust me to handle your wings carefully?"

"No, no, it's not that," you correct immediately. You sigh for a moment, feeling the heat rise to your ears. "It's just..." you shift on the bed. "You know my wings are sensitive."

Wednesday nods. "And I will be meticulous."

"It's not that," you mutter, feeling warm. "You massaging them...touching them...like that..." your voice trails, and you feel slightly mortified. This was so embarrassing.

Wednesday seems to catch on immediately, and her back goes straight and rigid. "I see." Her voice is brisk.

"Yeah," you say quickly back. "It's, you know...just ticklish," you say to avoid the awkwardness, but you both know it's not quite that. 

Wednesday just nods, not pushing to offer her help further, but there is a curious look in her eyes. You don't dwell on it as you check your watch.

"Oh, shit," you sigh as you stand, gently brushing the last of your feathers with your fingers. 

"What?" Wednesday asks with a frown, watching your wings disappear. 

"Larissa is leaving for some conference. It's apparently a long trip and she needs to drive out tonight."

Wednesday recalls Weems mentioning her absence for the weekend and a group of teachers being in charge, but there was hardly a need for concern as it was the weekend.

"I have to go see her off," you tell Wednesday. "It'll probably be a couple of minutes. Are you going to stay here writing?"

"I will be finished in a couple of minutes as well," Wednesday says. "I will be returning to my dorm room for the night. I have preparations to finish."

"Preparations, you say?" A sly smile on your lips that Wednesday rolls her eyes at. 

Since that night after the Poe Cup race, there haven't been any kisses. Wednesday's still figuring out what to make of it all. You seem content with how things are, and Wednesday was slowly studying her own desires and how to handle them accordingly. Sometimes, Wednesday thinks it was easier kissing a serial killer.

At least with the serial killer, she didn’t have to do any date planning. But since she was, she was going to do every single part of it correctly and perfectly. Wednesday mindlessly thinks she’s probably been driving Enid insane and feels gleeful at the thought.

The sly smile turns soft, the rarity that only belonged to Wednesday. You lean over and faintly kiss her on the cheek, and your warm lips tinge Wednesday's cool skin. "I'll see you tomorrow then."

You leave Wednesday sitting in your room with a soft click of the door, heading out to the front gates. There are still some students wandering about, and you give them friendly, light smiles with a short wave of your hand as they greet you. 

Inwardly, you sigh. 

⊶⊷⊶⊷⊶⊷†⊶⊷⊶⊷⊶⊷

"I'm very serious," Weems gives you a stern look. "If there's anything wrong, you're to go to the nurse immediately. Don't think I've gotten over the last incident you had with the gorgon girls."

"I told you it was an accident!" You sigh almost dramatically. "They're nice girls! They're just...enthused...and strong."

Weems merely rolls her eyes but doesn't comment on it anymore. 

"I will only be gone for the weekend, I should be back Sunday night. It will be a short meeting."

"I know," you say, hiding back your sigh. "It'll be fine. I'm just going to be doing homework over the weekend."

"Right," Weems raised her brow, and an amused and wry smile graced her lips. "And by just doing homework over the weekend, you mean having a date with Miss Addams?"

You narrow your eyes suspiciously at Weems. "How did you know?"

Weems just makes some noncommittal noise before sighing. "My life seems to be fated to be entwined with the Addams family."

You look at her curiously, but Weems waves you off before she looks at you with a mildly uncomfortable look. "Do I need to give you the talk—"

"No!" You say immediately, cutting the principal off. Heat rises up your chest, burning the tip of your ears, and your cheeks feel hot. "It's—" you clear your throat into your fist—"it's fine. I'm good, I know."

Weems's face is slightly flushed red at the apple of her cheeks, and it makes you feel better. The two of you chuckle, letting it die into a comfortable silence. 

"I'll be home in two days," Weems repeats, softer this time. 

You nod. "Okay," your voice softer as well. It was strange, but you really did like having Weems around, despite Wednesday's grumbling about her. "Have a safe trip."

⊶⊷⊶⊷⊶⊷†⊶⊷⊶⊷⊶⊷

Saturday passed quickly, and Enid could not be more thankful. If there was one more annoying thing than Wednesday obsessively investigating things, it was Wednesday obsessively trying to plan a date. Her grim roommate was extra unbearable this entire week. 

Thing dropped off a note to you earlier today to meet in Wednesday's room at precisely 7PM with your laptop. While Wednesday executed her plan, Enid kept her company for most of the day. 

"I'm surprised you were able to actually cook dinner here," Enid says dryly. "I can't believe you made your own makeshift stove and didn't burn our entire room down."

"Controlled arson is child's play," Wednesday drawls. She finishes setting up a projector she's borrowed (stolen) from a classroom before setting down a blanket with some cushions. She looks at Enid. "Give me all of your pillows."

"What? Why?" Enid frowns.

"Because only I enjoy sitting on rigid and awkward angles that may give me back or neck pains later," Wednesday explains succinctly while she grabs the one pillow from her bed, tosses it on the floor, and then grabs a black fuzzy blanket.

Enid sighs, reaching for her pillows and tossing them onto the blanket. Normally, she might've denied her roommate the request, but it was clear that Wednesday was trying to make this the perfect date from the way she's been obsessing about it all week, meticulously planning and researching. 

It was endearing to watch, but Enid wouldn't say it out loud.        

"You will change the pillowcases and wash the old ones when I'm back tomorrow," Enid warns her roommate, who noncommittally nods.

Then Wednesday freezes. "You're not returning tonight?"

Enid smirks. "Nope. I'm having a sleepover with Yoko tonight." She then gives Wednesday a look. "I won't do it too often, especially since Fae has her own bedroom you guys can be doing your dates at."

"It's smaller," Wednesday mutters, even though she knows it would've been fine to do it at your place. But Wednesday chose to do it in their own room so that she could rely on Enid returning in the worst-case scenario where the date was a failure.

Wednesday checks the time on her wrist and finds she has no time to make adjustments now. It was 6:55PM, and you'd be arriving soon. 

"Leave," Wednesday dismisses Enid, who sighs at her roommate's callousness but still wishes her good luck as she goes to find her vampire best friend along with Thing.

Time ticks slowly as Wednesday checks to ensure the sea witch paella she made is still warm. She does a final review of all her preparations and stands near the door. 

Wednesday wouldn't describe herself as nervous, but she does feel an uncomfortable pressure in her chest and something twisting in her stomach.

It's nauseating and exhilarating.

7:00PM. 

Wednesday waits, telling herself that while it's annoying that people are not customarily on time, it's not abnormal. 

7:05PM.

You were late, but Wednesday isn't worried. You aren't typically late to things, but there's been an occasional time she'll catch you out of breath running to class or to their nightly meet-up.

7:15PM.

Irritated.

Now Wednesday is irritated with how inconsiderate you were being and plans to make you reiterate what you were doing every single minute to be late. She knows you know the time to meet was 7PM. When Thing dropped off her note to you, you also provided a note back saying, 'You have such a way with words. See you at 7PM sharp then.'

A liar is what you are, Wednesday thinks with a downward curl of her lips. Wednesday pinches the bridge of her nose, annoyed at the fact that she has a stupid phone that is utterly useless. She wanted to throttle both Xaiver and Enid for endlessly praising how useful it was to have one. 

7:30PM.

Wednesday clenches her jaw as she blows out the candles and turns off her makeshift stove. She's vexed, but a larger part of her doesn't believe you'd not show up. The vision Wednesday had during the Poe Cup race appears, and she briskly strides out of her room.

Not in your room.

Not in any of the classrooms.

Not in the garden.

Not in the cafeteria.

Not in the library.

"Addams," Bianca greets with a raise of her brow. "Aren't you supposed to be on a date?"

Wednesday stops as Bianca approaches her. "You knew?" Her eyes narrow.

Bianca rolls her eyes, her blue eyeshadow accentuating her eyes. "Of course. Fae briefly mentioned it in the afternoon with a sickeningly happy look on her face. Can't say I see the charm of being on a date with you, but I digress."

"So you did see her earlier then?" Wednesday asks pointedly, ignoring everything else the siren said. 

Bianca raises a brow slowly at Wednesday's behavior. "I did, but she left for her studio about two hours ago. Why?"

Wednesday doesn't bother answering, walking past Bianca with haste.

There was only one place left to check, and Wednesday expected you to be there. You had better be sitting in your studio, having lost track of time, and Wednesday would berate you. But you'd be there to apologize, and they could salvage what was left of their date, and Wednesday would pointedly remind you that it was your fault their food was cold. They'd watch their horror movie as planned, and it wouldn't matter if it'd be late into the night because Enid wasn't coming back anyway.

Because if you weren't there, Wednesday would certainly kill someone. 

"Wednesday!" Bianca calls as she strides to catch up to Wednesday as they pass the Quad, grabbing the attention of Enid, Yoko, Xavier, and Eugene. 

"Wednesday!" Enid calls after her best friend, but she ignores it, walking with a distinct purpose to your studio. Enid and everyone else get up with haste to follow after their friend. "Wednesday, where's Fae?"

The familiar tree trunk comes into view, and she does the same sequence of action she always does to enter, not caring that she looks insane.

"What are you doin—where'd she go?" Eugene asks, his eyes narrowing as if that would allow him to see Wednesday again.

"It must be a fae realm," Bianca deducts, thinking back to her conversations with you. "Sirens have something similar. She must've created one out of her studio. Just follow what Wednesday did."

One by one, they repeat the actions, and Enid is the last to go through. And when she enters, she finds Wednesday a few feet away from her, eyes narrowed with her jaw clenched.

They don't have time to take in the space and view, as amazing as it is. 

"This isn't right," Wednesday grits out, her hands forming into fists. "This isn't the studio."

It looks perfect—neat and tidy. 

Untouched.

"What do you mean?" Bianca asks as she looks around. "This has to be Fae's studio, I can see her belongings. Look—these are the vases and pots she made in pottery class."

Wednesday's eyes move to look at the three pottery pieces Bianca is pointing at sitting in a cluster on the coffee table. They weren't perfect, a little wobbly, and you had laughed when Wednesday pointed out every imperfection and questioned why you even let them go into the bisque firing to set. 

But you said you liked how they were very clearly flawed and still worked without a hitch. 

There was nothing out of the ordinary, and they were most definitely yours. 

The only problem was that earlier today, Wednesday had come into your studio while you were studying. You had given Wednesday a strange look but asked no questions as she grabbed the soft, fuzzy black blanket you favored. You bought it in town recently after Wednesday started to help you apply the salve, picking black specifically because you hadn't known Wednesday like you do now and heard she was allergic to color. 

It was for the cooler nights, not that the cold ever bothered Wednesday, but it didn't stop you from carefully draping the blanket over her. Now, it was in preparation for tonight's date when they were watching horror movies.

Yet, the soft black, fuzzy blanket in her room was also folded neatly on a shelf inside a trunk-turned rack. Which also wasn't where Wednesday had taken it from earlier today.

"This is weird, though," Enid mutters, inhaling deeply through her nose.

"What?" Yoko asks as she takes off her glasses and looks around. 

"Wednesday, you said you and Fae are here pretty frequently, right? I thought you came here earlier."

Wednesday nods rigidly. 

"That's weird," Enid ponders, tilting her head. "I can barely smell you and Fae in this place. It's like...very stale. Months old, at least."

"Wait," Eugene furrows his brows. "How is that even possible?"

Xavier looks in deep thought, holding his chin as he thinks, but Wednesday already knows. Especially after Enid confirmed the scent. 

It all leads to one conclusion. 

This wasn't your studio, or more accurately—you and Wednesday haven't been in your real studio for some time.

"Is there anyone in this school that has Fae's number?" Xavier asks, and it makes the room tense. "Does she have Snapchat or anything that could show her location?

Bianca shakes her head. "No, she doesn't have any social media and she hasn't even given me her number, not that I think it would be useful, anyway. She's never on her phone except to watch her shows or read. Half the time, I'm convinced she probably just leaves it lying around."

"We...we should contact Weems, right?" Eugene asks as he looks at everyone. 

"Even if we do, Weems won't make it back until the morning, at least," Xavier points out. "But we should."

You were missing.

No, you've been taken.

The thought felt hollow, like Wednesday couldn't believe it. It only lasted a second before pure, unadulterated fury filled her. It was like a hot white ball forming in her chest, making her clench her jaw, barely able to contain the noise she wanted to let out. 

Wednesday hadn't been watching for you just half a day, planning this ridiculous date that you had been so stupidly excited for, and you were taken.

Wednesday can only blame herself. 

She blames herself for so many things. 

Indulging you.

Indulging herself.

She should've never agreed to this date—she should've never agreed to you. 

Why couldn't she just have dismissed you as another passing curiosity? Why couldn't she have just gotten what she needed to know and left you? You should've been nothing more than a passing, disturbing thought.

It would have saved her from feeling so wretched now. 

"Wednesday," Enid says softly. She lifts her hand to gently touch her roommate but thinks better of it when she practically smells the anger radiating off the grim-looking girl. "Wednesday," Enid repeats instead, "We need to find her."

"Of course," Wednesday snaps, unable to even comprehend that she was snapping at the wrong person. "Spread out and start searching every corner of this inane institute."

Xavier looks upset. "Wednesday, you shouldn't look alone—" 

"Go, or I will unapologetically send you to jail for a second time," Wednesday cuts off, threatening the tall, lanky boy with a glare. 

Bianca grabs the sleeve at his elbow, dragging him out while the others follow. 

Thing is the only one left with Wednesday, and he stands on top of the table, waiting for Wednesday to say something. 

Wednesday's jaw is clenched, and her hands are closed in tight fists. 

The problem was that Wednesday did indulge herself, and now you were hers, even if she refused to say it out loud. 

You. Are. Hers. 

You were hers to make pay for making her feel so wretched over you. 

"Thing," Wednesday bites out. "Bring anything personal of hers. Bring me anything that looks out of place."

The mystery brought her obsessive personality up to the front, and she would solve it.

Wednesday was going to find you—because you were hers—and she would slowly maim whoever had taken you.

PART 9

[celorangeine]

hiai guys...🤗 this is the only thing I've only been able to think about lately. bear with me ☹️ i've also merged the characters and guns together so I can ramble more 😎

My Headcanons On What Handguns Bully Characters Would Have Pt. 2

part 1

6. Ted

I think Ted is the type to focus more on speed and durability, and the Beretta 92 is crazy good. It's a pretty big gun but it's solid in the hands, it's probably not going to slip at all. I think Ted would like Beretta guns in general. I also think that he'd be the type to stick to one gun and Beretta 92 is GOOD 👍👍👍 for that

7. Edgar

I think he'd be the type to use any gun tbh, just as long as it's good and has a nice grip, he's cool. I don't think he'd use revolvers that much (😢) so I'm thinking CZ 75. Slightly heavy, but I think Edgar's good with it. The accuracy is SOO good and it survives for so long, and that's just what Edgar needs...😎 Edgar's a CZ kind of guy I just know it

8. Zoe

Zoe would be a big fan of Taurus automatic pistols, more specifically the Taurus G2. It's pretty smooth; the magazine quickly drops once the release button is clicked, gripping on it is easy, and the recoil is rarely aggressive. I feel like Zoe would mostly focus on the comfortability of a handgun and this one is sou good. It's pretty cheap too, it's SO good for its price. There's also the Taurus G3 which is a fair improvement than the G2, but I feel like Zoe is not gonna stop continuously using the G2 until it breaks LUL

9. Otto

I think Otto would mainly use Walther guns, specifically the Walther PK380. It's cheap (& he probably manages to get it for even less) and he loves anything that can be good for concealed carry. I think he'd have a dream gun though: the Nighthawk .357 Magnum. That gun is by far the angriest gun I have ever seen. I think Otto would LOVE Korth guns and wished he had more revolvers... but that gun is $6K 😢

10. Algie

OK I laughed like crazy while thinking about this but. I think in an act of self defense he'd goes to some guys to buy a gun. But the guys scammed him and made him pay more for a Hi Point C9. He thought everyone would be afraid of him now, but then the gun nerds start making fun of him for having a Hi Point. For context Hi Point guns are HEAVILY ridiculed by the gun people because of how shitty they are; they're cheap, but incredibly heavy and are difficult to use

11. Earnest

HONESTLY I think he'd really like Manurhin revolvers... it's so classy and I feel like that's what he's trying to make himself look like. They're CRAZY expensive though (some leading up to $10K) so he'd for the cheapest one; Manurhin MR37. It is a really, really good gun though, one of the best revolvers out there (besides S&W's...) and he's gonna show it off.... I know it. or maybe he's just gonna make his own gun idk man

12. Russell

Russell is a big guy and he would love anything that's heavy and flashy. so I think he'd like the .500 s&w revolver. It is insanely powerful and probably has a really big recoil. I haven't read much about this gun and I'm sure it's pretty expensive ($1K+) but Russell can just steal it you guys. It was made 4 him. Russell also probably struggles with most guns because his hands are big and it's gotta physically hurt to use them. I think he'd go for the big/heavy ones

13. Johnny

I think Johnny would be a huge fan of any old guns from the 1900s, and therefore I think he'd like Lugers a LOT. Their guns are expensive as hell but I like to think he'd buy them from auctions. I doubt he'd actually use any of the old ones cause they're severely outdated (but still good TBH) and he'd probably get made fun of if he actually does use them, but he still buys them for his collection. For a gun that he actually uses though, I think he'd like the Smith & Wesson Bodyguard .380 (the gun in the picture). I think Johnny would go for guns that have good triggers and this is one of them. Also there's a laser inside of it it's crazy

14. Peanut

Peanut I think would love the Ruger Hunter Mark IV. Honestly I think the greasers would all really love rugers. This one specifically looks so good and I thought they'd cost like at least $2K, but when I searched it up they only cost $600-800. Peanut would love that fact. I can imagine Peanut being a gun nerd tbh... so a gun like this that needs a lot of focus is no problem for him. He'd kiss this gun goodnight

15. Lola

ANOTHER Ruger gun and I think Lola would love the Ruger Single Six. In terms of weight it's really balanced, it's INSANELY durable, and the loading & unloading is so smooth. I think it's also mostly made of steel and it fits Lola man. It's a good gun for hunting too and therefore the accuracy is really good, and I think Lola would like guns that have good accuracy. This gun is hung on the wall in her house trust me

Hey chat

https://eu.bungiestore.com/celestial-nighthawk-wearable-collector-s-helmet

for context it's a fully wearable helmet, and is my absolute favorite exotic in the franchise and has been so for the past 10 years. And I made one for my little mega bloks hunter figure.

It's also like 60ish% off right now and when it's sold it, it will just be gone

Random hatchetfield swap thoughts.

Eddie chiplucky swaps with proud papa Ed. He still has his cowboy attire but it’s more cosy, he keeps his beloved pet under his hat.

Ed is more mysterious here, rather than having just his hoodie he wears a jacket instead since I didn’t entirely have clothing ideas for him.

Charles coven swaps with James’ shopper character in Black Friday, why? Well it’s a headcanon of mine and @ashtxeman ‘s that he’s a clone of Charles coven, whilst the change isn’t too noticeable their facial hair and hair looks somewhat different.

Rather than his iconic outfit Charles’ leather jacket is closed, with him having a longer scarf.

James shopper as I’m calling him dresses rather fancy, still in warm clothing but it’s far more extravagant.

Here’s my favourite part of the swap though. What about peanuts? Well. May I introduce you to

Ezekiel, the hatchetfield hat nighthawk. A nighthawk with an injured wing that Eddie rescued and carries around under his hat.

As for peanuts, peanuts! The leader of the bushy-tailed squirrels. She’s got a fairly similar motivation to Ezekiel, only as peanuts is canonically female… Lauren Lopez plays her. Why? Because I want to see Lauren play an evil squirrel.

Something strange is happening to me.

Precisely 4 decades after picking up my first guitar, and spending 3.996 (99.9%) of those decades playing solely on the neck pickup of any guitar that I picked up...I am suddenly completely enamoured by, and totally OBSESSED with, the sound of bridge pickups!

And this is the guitar I credit with helping me see (hear?) the light. 2018 Gibson Custom 1957 Les Paul Junior VOS, acquired earlier this year from my friend @tomgibson3783.

Maybe it's because I spent the first 3 decades of my guitar life owning just Stratocasters, but I have always stayed away from the bridge pickup, because I felt the sound was too thin for my (inept) playing. But this guitar doesn't sound that way at all...the pickup is full and round sounding. It's fat, but still has the "bite" that you can't get from a neck pickup. It's very satisfying to play.

And it has encouraged me to try (and enjoy) playing the bridge pickups more on my other guitars. So far, I'm really enjoying my R9's "Wizz" bridge pickup, as well as the bridge pickups on my Nighthawks and Les Paul Special.

But the real test will be if I can get a good sound out of a Strat bridge! Wish me luck on that one... 😉

[notanerdyprude]

fun things i noticed rewatching npmd act 1:

sam sweetly was investigating richies death

richie messed with his fingers absentmindedly

everyone pronounces stephs last name correctly (law-ter) except the teacher (low-ter) because teachers cant pronounce peoples names correctly

pete is almost always curled into himself while steph is almost always sat more like. outward. i dont know how to describe it.

petes plaid on his suspenders and bowtie matches stephs flannel

stephanie wears a lot of jewellery

ruth and richie hold on to pete at the end of “literal monster”’s first chorus

the literal monster choreogrophy fucking SLAPS byw

richie is such a bitch “its LIPSCHITZ 🙄🙄” “i never intended to walk through your hallway”

richie keeps his hands under his armpits most of the time

graces little “mhm. mhm.” after she says “his name is jesus christ” >>>

max and grace nodding at eachother is never not going to be funny to me

kyle is max’s biggest hype-man. homosexual activity if you ask me.

ruth and the nerd in purple enter the stage hiding behind the bleachers during max’s verse

“next time youre going to cheat do it like a lauter and dont get caught” so solomon most likely got to his position illegally

“somebody WALKS to the office with STEPHANIE LAUTER 🙄” richie is a Bitch

ruth cares very deeply about library rules

she immediately stops caring about them as soon as stephanie lauter calls him

ruth rolls her eyes when richie starts his “aot > star wars shit”, so shes clearly heard this a shit ton before

petes jumper also matches stephanies foannel

pete is in the shadows for a good part of cooler than i think i am because he keeps walking through them

as soon as the bridge is done he goes from being in the light to beingbik the shadows again

peter can also be a bitch

max doesnt come from money

max started being a prick in 4th grade

jason seems to be an actually good dude.

max has a major god complex obviously but like. it is bad. it is BAD.

mark, despite being married to her, calls graces mom ‘mother’

graces mom also wears butterfly clips

richies side eye the second steph walks over im DECEASED.

richie looks so horrified by steph touching him

cooler than him tune plays when they walk into the boys bathroom

richie side-eyes people a lot

“steph-an-ie”

pete’s “grace 🙄” i love him hes so bitchy

hatchet town tune plays in the bg a lot

richie naruto runs into the waylon place

richie is VERY excited by the plan “WE’LL MAKE HIM SHIT HIS PANTS 😁”

petes a marvel nerd. he does both the hulk and spidermans gestures

richie is ruths wingman confirmed

richie fiddles with the little tassles on petes jacket

max is very good at puns

will is scarily good at sounding like blood is coming out of his mouth

pete has a very short temper

grace actively cheers for ruth after she cuts off max’s nips

stacy calls richie “mr. lipschitz”. for some reason.

THE HARMONIES IN GO GO NIGHTHAWKS ARE SO GOOD

richie calls jason jace :(( /pos

“theyre my bros for life” they said ONE nice thing to you get some standards i BEG

richies face immeidately dropping as soon as max says “richieee”

richies wearing 4 layers on top and a pair of shorts. transgender.

max’s blood is sparkly.

max shakes his hand after touching richie

max thinks people in the smoke club are cool

max locks the door on richie

he does the choreo from thriller by michael jackson

richies squeal after max makes him fall

max is heavy projecting onto richie

max seems genuinely pissed when richie says ‘im not a loser.’ he only chills when richie says ‘please don’t kill me’.

he taunts richie by calling him his actual name. he never called richie his real name, only shit-lips. false sense of security type shit.

[askhatchetfieldhigh]

Hey, I'm from Clivesdale, the captain of the Clivesdale Chemists... Yes it's me, you can tell me to royally fuck off later, we would too if you guys came to us...

I just need to say some stupidly sappy shit I've rewritten too many times. Max Jagerman, we've played a lot of games against each other... I just wanna say, I'm moving... TO SYCAMORE 🤮🤮honestly I'd rather starve, go broke, and die alone than go to this school. But anyhow, this is a goodbye as I won't be able to play in the next game on friday... Or ever... On the CHEMISTS team.

You Nighthawks ... You guys were the only team that made us try... You guys were the ONLY team that we looked forward to playing against, and —that's saying a lot since Sycamore crying was pretty funny— Truly, I mean this in the LEAST offensive way. You guys .. were the LEAST bad team we had to go against..

Max, you were considerably, the ......b....e..s..t.. player I had to go against. You actually tackled me dozens of times so, that's saying A LOT, as I am the strongest and fastest football player alive obviously. But, I don't hold any records of me dislocating my shoulder or breaking a finger in resentment anymore, and I hope you don't either about the countless injuries I gave you.

Because y'know what, fuckin' CONGRATULATIONS YEAH, y'know what, CONGRATS FOR STICKING ME TO THE GROUND MULTIPLE TIMES MAN.

I'll stay around the Hatchetfield news to see your games now that I'm going to Sycamore. I'll keep an eye on you. Don't disappoint me. Because you're my pick for best football player now. Just to show my support, I'll even sing your awfully, stupidly cool cheer.

N, I-G, H-T! Ah! Ah! Kss.

Fly into the night, damn Nighthawk.

See ya off, loser (affectionate)

P.S: I'll give you updates when I can (and I guess if you want them anyhow)

Gonna fuckin miss you. Hate to admit. You're fuckin cool bro. And I don't throw that shit around often. I enjoyed playing against you bitches. You guys always put up ONE HELL OF A FIGHT. As much as I hate to say it... you got potential. You're good, bro... got some REAL talent.

I'm rooting for you and you got my full respect, dude. You teach Sycamore who's FUCKING BOSS. Go kick ass and keep me updated.

- MAX

Also, note from the admin, I AM HONORED that you took the time to write all this!! I love this so muchhhh.

[whatliesbeneath-ao3]

What You Missed: TDY Act 2

My name is Angela, the director of this Library. I have some spare time, so I figured I would lend you my assistance again.

Follow me.

(Please refer to the content warnings for each chapter on Ao3 before reading.)

Chapter 11 - The Reception of Seven Association

The hydrangea icon for Bookshelf Interlude was Easter egging Gea's appearance and implying his death in the story.

We first heard of "S. Fujiwara" in Chapter 5.

Zinnia's introductory paragraph parallels Mari's original introduction in What Lies Beneath.

Mari and Zinnia's last name, Perrault, comes from Charles Perrault, the author of Little Red Riding Hood.

Gea's final line directly parallels Mari's statement in the penultimate chapter of the Kingdom Arc.

Chapter 13 - A Winter Chill

It isn't mentioned by name, but the flowers Drosera originally gifts Narcissus are gladiolus flowers, most specifically the chartreuse coloring. Gladiolus represents things like strength, endurance, pride, moral integrity...

The second and third flowers Drosera gifts are red roses and baby's breath. Red roses are passion and romance, whereas baby's breath represent sincerity, purity, and love again.

Drosera's mentioned to wear daffodil yellow overalls--Narcissus' flower. How romantic.

Drosera's cat's name is Nighthawk, a reference to the painting by Edward Hopper, which long-time readers will know is one of my favorites. It represents the need for togetherness, the mundane, in a closed off society.

Valerian and Ivy being mentioned at the tail end of Narcissus' dream sequence was to clue the reader into the fact it was a dream: timeline-wise, it doesn't add up.

The description of Drosera's rotting body is a reference to Valerian's talk with Ivy in the Kingdom Arc. (...although it's also just how a body decomposes... but who asked me?)

Chapter 14 - Scarlet Goodbye

The other red Color they're referring to is not the Red Gaze.

Leander is referencing his speech at Chrys' funeral in What Lies Beneath.

Chrys' last name, Faust, was foreshadowed with this line.

Ambrose quotes herself from the Darkest Twilight.

Leander's note was first revealed in the Kingdom Arc.

Chapter 15 - The Weight of Love

The drinks "the woman" orders for herself and Leander are Shark Attack, and Pop My Cherry.

Larkspur is a purple, incredibly toxic (when consumed) plant. Two milligrams is enough to kill an adult. Much less for a child.

Chapter 16 - King in Yellow

Anem mentions, and reveals that he has been on a WARP Train in Chapter 5.

Centra Fujiwara is officially introduced, and confirms that there are indeed four Fujiwara siblings.

We learn Anem's last name, Carpenter. As for why... Jesus was a Carpenter, wasn't he? (I think I'm funny.)

The snack Hastur has at the end of the chapter is Centra's, although the three of them forgot to close it. (I assumed W Corp couldn't reverse what happens to the snacks. There's no bio data for that, and in universe it could be easily written off. It was to reflect that, even when your memories are erased, there would still be a small fragment of them in your heart.

Chapter 17 - Unconditional

"Adele Bloch-Bauer" is a reference to the painting Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I by Gustav Klimt. It's also referred to as "The Woman in Gold". King of Greed's design seems to be taken from it.

Every author has their own language, and the readers learn it overtime. In Chapter 15, we built the association that larkspur is a "negative affection", hence why it's reused in Chapter 17.

Viscaria and Forge's reaction to Press' recollection of her injury is because ruptured globe is a very severe eye injury. If you don't seek emergency treatment, there's a very high chance you will lose vision in your eye. For reference, 30-40% of monocular blindness is caused by ocular trauma. There are some cases where this injury might heal on it's own, but I promise that it's few and far between.

The Book of Press was Easter egging TDY. It was actually written during the developmental stages.

Viscaria and Forge's reaction was to discovering the Book of a Lover was empty. (Press scribbling in the margins was a red herring.)

It was implied from the beginning of the chapter that the Book of a Lover would end up on the Floor of Religion. Don't ever, ever trust my throwaway jokes. I'm planning something evil with them.

Chapter 18 - Evergreen

Valerian's dream references the Darkest Twilight.

Narcissus and Valerian's conversation references Chapter 13.

"The Undertaker" is a reference to Technology, a poem written by Ambrose Bierce, mentioned in Chapter 13 by Mari and later discussed between Ambrose and Valerian. It's a satirical poem about the almost theatrical response to death in the Victorian era. In Chapter 18, Valerian takes the role of "the Undertaker".

The Undertaker references Valerian's Tales of Pruned Flowers.

The poem that the Undertaker quotes is Hermann Hesse's All Deaths. However, the poem goes unfinished.

Valerian, died anew as the Undertaker, parallels Rose's actions towards Mari's corpse in the Darkest Twilight.

Alstroemeria flowers represent strength, love, friendship and devotion. Also, go Google the meaning of "resupinate", if you don't already know it.

Chapter 19 - Devotion's Reward

Lonicera, Valerian's sister is officially introduced. Oh yeah, if you're curious, here's what she looks like! Reading this post means you get to see.

We finally see Forge and Valerian's first meeting, referenced in Chapter 1, Chapter 3, Chapter 12, as well as in this art.

Valerian's sacrifice parallels Forge's first time taking someone else's life.

Hastur's right. Valerian, what are you talking about? That's not light reading by stretch of the imagination.

Multi-chapter

We see Viscaria warn the others about Valerian three times, in Chapter 12, Chapter 17, and Chapter 19. Changing the wording from "Sailor take warning" to "Shepherd take warning" was foreshadowing that Anem would agree with Viscaria. (Sorry for the shitty editing. Tumblr only allows thirty images per post.)

Narcissus' Act 2 Insults:

Chapter 11, "The Reception of Seven Association"

“Her lapdog, you mean.” Narcissus interjects.

Chapter 12, "One Drink More"

Narcissus stands with her arms crossed, staring at Valerian’s ridiculous sitting position, “You look like an idiot when you do that, you know.” “No, you imbecile.” Narcissus replies, instantly. “No,” Narcissus says, for the eighth time. “You’re such a freak.” “Fuck’s sake.” Narcissus says, smacking Valerian in the head with her pillow. “You’re such an idiot.” “They’re siblings.” Narcissus says, and shakes her head. “You’re a fucking disaster when you drink, aren’t you?” “You’re such a freak.” She catches her breath, and says, “You’re such an idiot.”

Chapter 13, "A Winter Chill" (HEY IT'S CRAZY HOW NARCISSUS USES ALL THE SAME INSULTS ON DROSERA AS SHE DOES INFO TEAM HUH)

“You’re such an idiot,” she shakes her head, pulling the covers further over them both. She doesn’t bother to wipe the tears away, kissing Drosera again and again as she laughs, the whole world safely in her home, in her arms, “I love you too, you idiot.” Narcissus scrutinizes it under her harsh gaze, and then shrugs. “Well, whatever. It’s good you don’t have a hangover. I’m not helping you if it lasts all day. Ivy might, the doormat that she is.”

Chapter 18, "Evergreen"

“You’re such a nerd.” She says, rolling her eyes. “Dramatic ass,” Narcissus mumbles. Narcissus laughs. “You’re such a freak, captain.”

Chapter 19, "Devotion's Reward"

“You motherfucker!” Narcissus shouts, grabbing a nearby pillow and throwing it at Valerian’s face. “Yes, we fucking were! Where in the fresh fuck were you, you twat!?”

Narcissus Insult Count Act 2: 16

Total Insult Count: 26

Most Common Insult: Idiot (7 times), which, according to Google, is 26.923%.

That's all for now.

Literal Monster Reprise- DUDE I LOVE WILL'S PERFORMANCE!! really hoping to see him in more Starkid stuff. performing this song looks so fun. Max is an asshole, but so goofy.

Lords In Black- idk why The Summoning and Lords In Black are separate things, thought The Summoning was the intro to the song but whatevs. love the designs of the lords in black. such a fun song, really should listen to it more.

If I Loved You- H A R M O N I E S!!! love when Pete was talking about the football team he swung his arms like a bat.

Bury The Body- love Grace being unhinged good for her. the panic is so good in this scene. again, HARMONIESS!! and hooray for cutting off nips.

Hatchet Town- EVERYONE SOUNDS SO GOOD. all the references were fun! it's giving McCarthyism

Cool As I Think As I Am- love Pete and love this song, but there are songs that i love WAY more. this song is iconic tho, it's got the line that comes back across the musical!! build that confidence king!

Dirty Girl- a Definite Bop. and Will is RIPPED GODDAMN. but maybe just a liiiittle too long. and when she was repeating im a good girl I was kinda uncomfy lmao.

Just For Once- playing a character that's playing a character sounds difficult so props to Lauren. liked seeing more of Ruth's character in this song. feeling like her life is over even tho she's still young (oh no it's relatable)

Best Of You- THEY WENT THROUGH HELL THEY DESERVE A CHEESY ENDING SONG!!

Dirty Dudes Must Die- WOO GRACE GET THOSE DIRTY DUDES

Literal Monster- it's alright, don't have any strong feelings about it. Kim SLAYED her part tho!

The Summoning- just an intro, points for spooky vibes

Go Go Nighthawks- very unfortunate that this goes at the bottom of the list. love the football guys <3 FUCK YOU CLIVESDALE!!! it's good but just really repetitive :/

🌍place: Ugh, it's hard to pick just one... favorite place to visit that I can do frequently without spending a lot of money is the big cemetery near me. It's great for nature-watching and it's weird enough that it's usually not crowded unlike the park (which tends to have cooler wildlife but also families trying to enjoy a nice day). Unfortunately now it closes early because it gets dark early so I got locked in there a few times looking for nighthawks. 🥴

If I could instantly teleport to a place I've previously been RIGHT NOW though it'd be Tokyo, I'm missing it so bad Monty :'( But maybe I'm also missing not having to go to work and being able to buy hot drinks from vending machines, lol.

😈meow meow: Listen. LISTEN. I went into bg3 expecting to hate the vampire elf twink. So many of my friends hated him, he seemed like the annoying tumblr sexyman du jour and vampires are so mid 2000's Annelise. But... dammit, he won me over with his stupid scene where he laments not having a reflection and you tell him how he looks >:'( Fans who tried to paint him as some edgy daddy dom did him so bad, he's a wet abused cat of a man who is genuinely delighted to be in a relationship where he's allowed to make his own choices and not exist just for sexual gratification. YES he can be a stinky garbage man sometimes but also he is my poor little meow meow, I am making him kiss my funny nerd tiefling one hundred times, mwah

Summary:

Being sent to live in a dilapidated farm with a person they can barely stand for an indefinite amount of time felt like a cruel and unusual punishment to Nayuta and like it should be the premise of some cozy romance game to Touka, were it not Nayuta that she was stuck with.

After their fields begin to function, Nayuta insists that there are lights floating around at night and a dark figure sneaking around, and she will stab it with a pitchfork if she absolutely must. Touka thinks she should be sent to a psych ward for it.

Touka wants everyone to stop asking her to do farm work and thinks their hired help is excessively mean to her, yet feels the need to unveil whatever secrets that helper may be hiding. Nayuta thinks Touka has simply never had a crush before.

Nemu would prefer it if the Satomi cousins stopped making her blood pressure spike. Rumors of a planned regicide, the special ops officers at the inn, and the locals' increasing tendency to go into the forest without a talisman were bad enough before she encountered Touka "I Am Going To Make Bad Decisions" Satomi.

Summary: It was a time of peace during a period of war. Various City-States in Japan had feuded with each other for decades, trying to conquer one another. At the center of these battles were young women who commanded spirits known as Witches. These Witch Charmers drew upon the abilities of the Witches, and gained power from them as well.

A Witch Charmer from Chuo City is invited to Shinsei City by it’s leader, Lord Nanami, to investigate a series of assaults that have recently plagued the city. This woman, Rika Ayano, was noted for her mastery of her Witch, Belladonna, and the powers it granted her, but was too young to participate in the war when she became a Charmer, and thus had no combat experience.

Nevertheless, Rika takes the mission, looking for an opportunity to put her powers to the test, as well as to see Shinsei now that there’s a peace between the City States. She arrives, ready to begin her investigation, and while none have seen the assailant responsible for the attacks, the populace does suspect someone: a mysterious woman spoken in hushed tones known as the Walking Corpse…
