Part 3/4

First - Prev - Next

[meekmedea]

Considering the direction the games has gone in the AU, now I'm debating whether to do something similar as the art of falling (for you) where the tributes get sent to spend a week or two in the Capitol vs sending the mentors to the Districts.

Both have their pros...

Except chaos in the Capitol with the troublesome trio + Reaper would be pretty funny. Dill probably gets roped in, through association with Felix. Maybe the same with Sol.

IF it takes place in the Capitol....

Maybe a mentor complains about the unfairness of Clemensia and Sejanus already knowing the partner they're assigned to

Clemensia was ready to channel her inner Hector and throw hands. But she just about managed to control herself.

If you ask her classmates about this though, she had a murderous expression on her face. But this is only getting admitted on the threat of torture. Because they aren't a snitch or anything.

Reaper and Marcus don't really get along, to the chagrin of Clemensia and Sejanus. Like come on guys... please? 🥺

Don't worry Reaper and Marcus bond once they meet Coriolanus and realize that the blond is friends with both Clemensia and Sejanus.

Reaper 🤝 Marcus questioning their friend's sanity (because why did they befriend that blond?)

Also an exchange that came to mind while typing this

Felix: It's not fair you get assigned to Reaper, you already know him! And that defeats the purpose of the whole assignment. Iphigenia, sick of watching a totally not jealous Felix: Careful, you almost sound like you're jealous. ` Reaper, who thinks this whole thing is super funny: You're just jealous that she's madly in love with me and not you. Right, Clemmie? Clemensia, without missing a beat: Yep. In fact, now that you've caught us, I guess we'll come clean. After this summer, I'm planning to run away to 11 to be with him. ` Felix: Felix, after watching his friends leave him standing there: Wait, that was a joke, right? Right??? Clemmie?? Nia??? Reaper?? Come back, guys! `

Max, who was unfortunately within earshot during all this: *choking on his coffee* and having intense flashbacks to the rumours back in his day.

Back then, Clemmie's great-grandparents did essentially just that. Ludius Dovecote fell in love and followed Anise to 11, where they eventually married and had Hector.

Another piece with the freaks who take “cannibalism as a metaphor for love” and are steadily taking away the metaphor parts of it lol. I’m by virtue of loving these two together gonna figure out how to do convincing blood one of these days 🤣

Iphigenia belongs to me

[spiralling-thoughts]

Me : I don't think I would ever create a capitol oc

My brain: we'll see about that

and that's how this was born

Kassandra moss

Iphegenia 's little sister at 12 years old unlike her sister Kassandra is terrified of their father and always obeys everything he says and asks of her because of this she is bragged about by her father and negatively compared to her older sister

She's a very isolating girl who considers her dolls and sister to be her closest friends , she does have a friendship with Artemis ring but she never tells her about her home troubles as her father told her to keep it a secret

Collect antique dolls and talk to and sleep with them she also tends to stress eat a lot

Despite the favouritism she and iphegenia have a nice relationship both try to help the other with their eating habits (although with very little to no success) Kassandra considers iphegenia her closest friend and they talk alot with one another however when it comes to dealing with their father they tend to argue about it as Kassandra doesn't see a point in getting revenge at their father and tries to get her sister to be more obedient while iphegenia wishes Kassandra would stop listening to their father

Iphegenia brought Kassandra with her to the zoo , Kassandra was at first scared and anxious as their father talked very badly of the districts but then she noticed dill coughing and asked her if she was sick then much to her surprise she talked with dill for a while and found herself wishing that dill would become the victor which made her feel conflicted because she was supposed to be rooting for her sister's tribute and she wasn't supposed to talk to any of the tributes to begin with

Found lucky to be very annoying

Both sisters held and comforted one another after the games

4, 27, 33 for the guardians? 🤔

4.

Iphigenia Melavir, to whom "resilient" does not begin to cover it all. A member of Clan Ithaca, she was a dear friend of the Young Wolf, Telemachus, and her fireteam, even claiming Orestes Verlax as a brother of sorts, up until the Red War, when she lost her Ghost, Zephyr, and best friend, Apollo, in the retreat from the City, taking his Ghost Delphi with her to the Farm. Since she has learned Stasis to fend for herself and Delphi, refusing to leave the field until she is dead for real, or her beloved Cassandra convinces her to maybe take it easy.

27.

Paragon-9 leads a relatively simple life. He is a crucible regular, on the path to become a Vanguard scout. He doesn't have a lot happening.

33.

Flint-5 is motivated by one thing: wealth. She owes no loyalty to the City or Vanguard, only to herself and whoever's paying her the most. Once a humble hitman in the City, she's moved up to running her own business in the City's seedy underworld as a contractor, putting Guardians willing to get their hands dirty with less reputable activities in contact with those willing to do whatever it takes to get a leg up over the competition. ask me about my guardians

Sacrificed children

This morning I was awoken by the sound of prayer.

A tune curling through my window: God is greatest, God is greatest, God is greatest.

It's Eid al-Adha. The Eid of sacrifice. Honouring when Ibrahim/Abraham was willing to kill his son, and for his devotion, his son was saved.

Of course, when Ismail (or Isaac) is replaced by a ram on the altar, I immediately start thinking of another sacrificed child. Replaced by a deer, in some versions. In others, not.

Not a test of faith who was always destined to be saved. A punishment, a dare, or a wretched bargain: lose the girl or lose the whole army.

And Artemis took pity on the girl - she had no fault in all this. She had a further life. But either way, her father did the damning deed. He was not only willing, but he went through with it.

There's no winning in war.

And the clever thing The Burnt City did was to link up all the lost children of the war: not just killed, but sacrificed. Not only Iphigenia and Polyxena, parallels already drawn in the text between these two slaughtered princesses. Also Polydorus: in this version, not only killed for man's greed, but also sacrificed at the request of a god. A dark god, outside the pantheon, worshipped in secret.

Hidden away in a labyrinth.

"Boys are harder to find," I once heard Polymestor say. All the boys had been sent away already. All the boys were already off being killed. (Sacrificed to Ares.)

All except one prince, still protected by his mother.

He, too, must feed the unquenchable thirst for blood, one way or another.

The labyrinth is the city and the city is war. It repeats over and over and over again, and were it not for the war, nobody would know its name.

And all sacrificed children are the same child. When Polydorus takes me into his refuge under the stairs, he tells me a story, but the story belongs to Mycenae. The tale of the lion cub is from Aeschylus' Agamemnon. But he is not just Polydorus, he is every child that has been lost or thrown away for what was deemed a greater cause. When Iphigenia takes me into her hut, she tells not the story from her own text, but instead a story of a world that's all merciless and fake.

Every child lost to war is a loss to the whole world. Nobody comes out victorious.

[arrenkae]

My firbolg druid, Iphigenia.

Born in the Feywild during an unnaturally long and cold magical winter, she has been a sickly child who barely survived through the first years of her life. Her family eventually discovered that what made her so sick was the Feywild itself, and had to move her to the Material Plane.

Even now, more than two centuries later, Iphigenia does not like the Feywild very much, preferring the steady flow of time and calm natural order of the Material Plane, where she watches over her own druid grove. She is a very chill and relaxed person, even though most people she meets would describe her as "weird" and "what the hell is she even saying" and "oh gods please get this giant woman away from me". Even then, she remains unbothered, moisturized, happy, in her lane, focused, flourishing.

All of the Champions from the Greece story of MagiMonsters in their human forms (and in proportions most minimal!)

Below the readmore, short introductory paragraphs for each of them!

PICTURE 1

Olympia Komninou, Griffon MagiMonster! Champion of Athena. Student in archaeology at the University of Athens. Passionate and cheerful, she seeks to learn more about herself through the many challenges she'll have to face. She loves hanging out and eating out. She has the ability to store an unlimited amount of weapons in her amulet.

Iris Griva, Cyclops MagiMonster! Champion of Hephaestus. Works full time as a disciple of Hephaestus in his workshop. Takes metalworking seriously. She doesn't really understand jokes or innuendo and tends to take expressions too literally. She is a good fighter despite being a support type of MagiMonster. She has the ability to create weapons from any material and can analyze power levels of any being or object with her single eye.

Eurydice Diamantopoulou, Siren MagiMonster! Champion of Apollo. She used to be a famous singer until she lost her voice in an accident. After an encounter with Apollo, she recovered the use of her voice but can only sing, not talk. In spite of her speech mutism, her prima donna attitude makes her hard to tolerate. She has the ability to charm and entrance any being with her appearance and voice and can predict the near or distant future with no distinction as to when the events will occur.

PICTURE 2

Iphigenia Elaphiaia, Ceryneian Hind MagiMonster! Champion of Artemis. A nymph, leader of Artemis' huntress. Formerly human, she allegedly used to be a veterinarian until she was turned into a nymph by Artemis' wrath. She lost all hopes of returning to a normal life. She has endless stamina and can travel long distances without ever being caught, but cannot fight unless she is touched by moonlight.

Myrto Dimopoulou, Satyr MagiMonster! Champion of Dionysus. An artist who performs a very complicated series of stories through theatre plays, bathroom graffitis, hidden mixtapes, etc. She loves the arts and thinks of art as the most fundamental aspect of life. Her positive outlook on life and zany attitude is often mocked and shunned, but under that goofy vibe, she is a force not to be messed with. She has the ability to create wine that can produce various effects, can entrance beings with "drunken illusions" that makes them believe they're part of a theatre play's story. She can also increase the effect of a ritual and provoke madness through it.

Ophelia Papadopoulou, Harpy MagiMonster! Champion of Hermes. A teenage runaway girl who serves the messenger god Hermes, her caretaker, with whom she agreed on a pact granting her a iota of his incredible speed for the sake of doing cool tricks, but he cursed her to have no sense of directions. Oops! She's a cheerful hothead who often acts impulsively. She has the ability of flight and can generate whirlwinds and storm winds. She also can snatch one item from someone without being noticed at all.

PICTURE 3

Myrina Çelik, Erymanthian Boar MagiMonster! Champion of Aphrodite. A martial artist and fitness model, managed by Aphrodite. She's quiet and always focused on the tasks she has to perform, and in fighting she acts on pure instinct. In spite of her intimidating gaze and her reputation as a quick-tempered warrior, she is surprisingly chill, friendly and supportive. She has the ability to resist the first 100 hits in a battle, can deal a devastating blow on her fifth consecutive strike and can destroy anything on her way when she charges with her shield.

Hesione Marinou, Cetus MagiMonster! Champion of Poseidon. A priestess of Poseidon who was raised as a sacrifice to the Cetus, but was spared after she proved her worth to the sea god. Motherly, devoted and of pacifist nature, she will always aid people facing the dangers of the tumultuous sea. If Poseidon asks her to do something, she will do as he asks without any hesitation out of sheer devotion. Despite claiming that she is satisfied with this puzzling situation, she secretly wishes of a human life. In addition to aquatic powers and super-strength, she has the ability to grow in size. Her powers strengthen considerably if she is in a body of water.

Vera Aggelatou, Pegasus MagiMonster! Despite not being a Champion, Poseidon took her under his wing, as her strength easily equals a champion. She is methodical and serious, focused entirely on whatever objective she needs to accomplish and on bettering herself. Originally fated to become the Griffon MagiMonster, her life turned upside down when Olympia unknowingly and unwillingly took her place. If Olympia can use any type of weapons possible, Vera chose to only use a single weapon type to fight with: the katana sword. She has the ability of flight, can infuse her weapon with lightning and can reflect attacks with a special type of parry.

PICTURE 4

Hyakinthi Kehaya, Scylla MagiMonster! One of the two Champions of Hera. Disgraced heir of a fashion empire, she became a warrior for Hera after a series of strange events where she proved her worth. She has a good sense of initiatives and a charismatic personality, but comes across as rather self-centered when she insists on taking the lead. She and Nia are a couple with an amazing synergy, blessed by Hera. She can only become a MagiMonster on land. She has the ability to create land on water bodies and alter water currents at will.

Nia, Charybdis MagiMonster! One of the two Champions of Hera. Her real name is Ourania Dellaporta and she was the heiress of a wealthy family, but her hatred for materialism led her to commit transgressions and leave civilization to become a witch on a strange island. Anti-social and careless, she can be cruel if pushed to the extremes. Her creative use of hydromancy makes her a powerful ally. She and Hyakinthi are a couple with an amazing synergy, blessed by Hera. She can only become a MagiMonster underwater. She has the ability to create whirlpools and to alter water currents at will.

Alcmene Alexaki, Nemean Lion MagiMonster! Champion of Zeus. Current titleholder of the Divine Victory. An olympic wrestler who always seeks to push the limits of her physical performances, no matter what. This causes her to perform incredible athletic feats, at the cost of her own health. She barely cares if she hurts herself. She's a woman of few words and it's almost impossible to be friends with her. But she cares. She cares a lot. She has an indestructible skin and the ability to cut through any armor.

PICTURE 5

Chrysantha Alpha, Mu, and Omega, Cerberus MagiMonster! Champion of Hades and Persephone. A shade whose soul split in three halves (nicknamed "heads") upon her mysterious death. Each head guards one of the domains of the Underworld: Alpha, kind but plain, guards Asphodel Meadows, Mu, serious and stricts, guards Tartarus and Omega, boisterous and reckless, guards Elysium Fields. She has the ability to be impassible when guarding a given place and to analyze where a soul will end up in the Underworld. Each head has a unique ability: Alpha can summon shades to fight, Mu can bind and inflict punishments when she witnesses a "crime" and Omega can summon the strength of heroic shades.

PICTURE 6

Chrysaorus the Knight of Seasons, Kykhreides MagiMonster! Champion of Demeter. A seemingly immortal dragon knight in charge of enforcing the Sacred Law. Never talks. Obeys Demeter no matter what. Her power set changes depending on the season. She has the ability to change an area's season for the duration of a battle. She also has the ability to give special properties to fruits and vegetables.

Pandora, Titan MagiMonster! Champion of Hestia. Crafted by the gods, she is nicknamed the original woman. For her wrongdoings, she has been unfairly punished: she has been made immortan and she carries the powers of the Titans. Locked in the basement of a Neko Maid Cafe in Athens, she slumbers for a century when she uses her powers beyond a certain limit. She possesses tremendous destructive powers capable of causing catastrophes and natural disasters. The only things that holds her back from completely destroying the world is her humanity.

Aínigma, Chimera MagiMonster! Not a Champion, but her strength equals one. She claims not being affiliated to any goddess and simply does as she wishes. Due to the very nature of her powers, no one knows who she really is. She has the ability to shapeshift into any animal she wants and to be an amalgamation of three different animals. She also has the ability to conceal her true identity.

Yu-Gi-Oh AU chapter where both Lyla and Iphigenia get their decks stolen by some fellow students of Duel Academy looking to cause trouble

Lyla and Iffie go after one another's decks instead of their own, and this culminates in a scene where Lyla has to duel using Iffie's deck (maybe it's a wager to get Iffie's deck back, or maybe it's something unrelated that comes up after)

through this exercise, Lyla comes to understand how her friend's deck is similar to hers (in that it swarms the field with individually weak monsters) and how it's different (in that it then uses them for the summon of Dystopia the Despondent)

and in true YGO fashion, she comes to understand more about Iffie herself through this exercise, and Lyla has a deep and thoughtful moment about the infinite similarities and differences between herself and Iffie

meanwhile, Iffie simply shoved the kid who stole Lyla's deck and took it back that way, and she's been waiting idly for most of the chapter

newsflash! the weird movie I'm watching tonight is ALSO ripe with eliana vibes

[liviacardew]

moody teenagers getting kidnapped

So, the mentors' children, who are 13 in here, are on the way to a school field trip to the Capitol museum, and all of a sudden, their Professor and the bus driver gets knocked out by two masked men who broke into the bus and everyone is freaking out.

And during this time, they're very, very moody teenagers.

The kids just start yelling "Do you know who our parents are?!" at the masked men.

One of the masked men takes over and drives the bus to an abandoned house.

The kids start yelling even more.

He just tells everyone to shut up or he'll kill them in an instant.

Surprisingly, it works??

They arrive at the abandoned house, and the kids are pushed in there.

It isn't just the two masked men of course, there are five more in the abandoned house.

One of them says, "Alright, I'm going to call your parents to pay me a ransom of 50 million in order to get all of you brats out."

So, he does. He calls Coriolanus Snow and Lucy Gray first, and tells him to gather all the parents of the children at Coryo's penthouse and pay a ransom of 50 million.

And the parents are freaking out!

Felix and Clemmie are very worried, but they know Aelia will kick the kidnapper's ass and find a way out somehow because come on, she's a mini version of both Felix and Clemmie. (she got the Ravinstill punch and the Dovecote kick!)

Festus and Pippa are more worried than Clemmie and Felix are, because they know Athena is a sweetheart and won't hurt anyone.

Hilarius & Vippie and Livia & Arachne have a similar reaction to Felix and Clemmie.

Lucy Gray and Coriolanus Snow are FREAKING OUT. June Ruby is the smallest compared to all her classmates and is as pure as snow, she won't even flick an ant!

Io and Urban are also freaking out, because Albert is a nerd and doesn't know how to fight that well, despite having Urban as his father.

Apollo & Androcles, Lyssie & her husband, Iphigenia & Diana, Florus & Palmyra, and Juno & Domitia are nervous that their children won't be able to get out from there and that the kidnappers will kill their children.

Once all the parents are in Coryo and Lucy Gray's penthouse, he calls the kidnapper again.

The kidnapper's like: "If you all want your children, you must pay me a ransom of 50 million!", though it isn't really clear because of everyone either shouting or crying.

The six masked men are telling their kids to shut up but they can't really hear them.

The kidnapper has to repeat it ten times to the parents.

Now, here's when Aelia, Achilles, and Plutarch get to kick ass.

All of a sudden, Achilles knocks one of the kidnappers out with a pan he randomly found in the house.

This alerts the other kidnappers, so Aelia, and Plutarch help Achilles knock the others out.

The kidnapper on the phone tries to stop the kids, but he was in the middle of threatening their parents.

Their parents could hear all the fighting going on from the phone and they're all speechless.

Plutarch sneaks up behind the kidnapper, who's on the phone and knocks him out too!

All of the kidnappers are knocked out, and they find a way out! (they get out of the abandoned house and just walk in the Capitol streets until they see the Academy)
