kisses and cuddles
wooooooooo time for some more fluffy shit yall i loved making this so much this sorta relted to my weed garden fic but you dont need to read it (be cool tho)
Ruby was sitting in the cafeteria with Oscar and penny she was too tired to pay attention to what the two were talking about penny sitting across from her and Oscar was excitedly talking about something while Oscar liens looking interested sheâs unsure how heâs so put together they were both up late hanging out dreading comics and itâs only 7 am she leaned on Oscar and closed her eyes hoping to get a little more sleep before She had to do missions she had a relatively short one today only a search and destroy so maybe she could get home fast and take a nap Oscar nudged her shoulder and she lifted her head âhey donât fall asleep if you donât eat youâll be grumpyâ he says she fakes a pout and starts eating the gross cafeteria food she assumed that atlas food would be good sense itâs so many rich folks but no sheâs actually had better tasting mres or maybe she was just getting spoiled eating Oscar and rens cooking âruby why are you so tired did you have trouble sleepingâ penny says drawing circles on the table with her finger âno me and Oscar were up late last night and I only slept like three hoursâ penny frowns âwhile I am happy you and Oscar are spending time together you require at least 6 hours of sleep for maximum field efficiencyâ ruby just nods âso why donât you seem tired Oscar you couldnât of slept anymore than I didâ she says with a yawn he shrugs and says âI guess Iâm used to it I had to wake up early back home so I always didnât get a bunch of sleepâ penny raises a finger âactually according to my scans Oscars brain is only running at 89% efficiency and his hear rate is faster from his normal 48 beats per minute to to 51 it is likely that he simply better at hiding his tirednessâ Oscar slumps âpenny do have everyoneâs heart rates memorizedâ he says exasperated âyes I also have all of your medical charts on file and criminal records whyâ he raises a brow âcriminal record?â Penny nods âyes several of your team have criminal records qrow having the longest with 22 counts of public intoxication as well as 3 of public indecency andâ ruby raises her hands âtrust me you donât wanna know the rest they had to make a new law for one of the things he did but who else has charges?â she tries to wake herself with conversation and it sorta works she also learns some new and unsettling things about her friends but eventually breakfast ends and she starts to get her gear ready sheâs loading rounds into one of crescent roses magazine when someone knocks on the door to her locker room âitâs openâ she calls out and incomes Oscar heâs holding a small Tupperware box and a small metal tumbler âhey I wanted to give this to you before you goâ he says with a sheepish grin he sets the box next to her and hands her the tumbler itâs warm and smells good âitâs coffee, donât worry I added way too much sugar for you and the other thing is a surprise you said you donât eat a lot on missions so I made it for you itâs a bit of an experiment so tell me if itâs badâ sheâs grinning ear to ear and stands up from her weapon bench and hugs him âyou are the best and Iâm sure itâll be greatâ she gives him a kiss on the cheek sheâs been slowly trying to work her way up to kissing him on the lips but nose and cheek kisses were enough for her he smiles and his cheeks get all rosey and he hugs her back and says âbe careful ok sorry I know you can take care of yourself but just you knowâ she squeezes him a little âyeah donât worry I know Iâll be careful and when I get back we are so taking a nap mister Iâm not that tiredâ he giggles and looks up at her with a smile âyou wonât hear me complain and uh before you go could I uh kiss you like um on the lipsâ he says nervously she leans down pressing her forehead to his and smiles she smells his breath it smells like chocolate and coffee she feels her cheeks heat up to match his and says âIâve been wanting to do that for a while now are you sure you want to â he nods his head wordlessly she takes his hand and gently presses her lips to his its short and maybe a little clumsy but it makes her heart soar when she breaks the kiss Oscars breath shakes slightly and a little panic starts to fill her did she mess it up did he hate it and then he smiles and it all fades away âthat was really niceâ he says rubbing her knuckle with his thumb then thereâs a knock on the door frame she looks up and weiss and Blake are standing there weiss looks annoyed and Blake is grinning âtime to go ruby morning Oscarâ wiess says already turning to walk away ruby quickly gathers crescent rose and Oscars gifts and says âbye Oscar Iâll be careful byeeeâ and dashed out the door behind the others Blake nudges her shoulder âyour lucky I made weiss wait ,god you two are adorableâ ruby squeaks âwill you stop spying on usâ âwe werenât spying you two dolts left the door openâ weiss says annoyedÂ
 The mission was boring as she thought it was gonna be how normal soldiers couldnât handle this sheâll never know on the airship ride home she opens  the box Oscar gave to her a note on top says âhave a great day and stay safeâ she smiles at the note and sticks it in her ammo pocket it looks like a brownie is some kind and yang leans over and says âwhere did you get thatâ
âOscar made it for meâ she says taking it out of the container it smells like a peanut butter protein bar âooo come on share with me pleassssâ yang says putting her hands together âugh your lucky Iâm a good sisterâ she breaks off a small piece and hands it to yang and takes a bite of her own and itâs amazing it Taste like a peanut butter brownie but somehow better itâs somehow not dried out or crumbly yang seems to have a similar opinion âgod if you donât marry Oscar i will his food is too goodâyang says with a laugh she kicks yang in the leg âI know right I can barely eat the cafeteria food anymoreâ her and yang chat a bit about food until they finally land Oscar is standing on the landing pad waiting for her she bounce on her heels excitedly despite how tired she is when the door finally opens she rushes out to hug him âhow did it goâ he asks wrapping his arms around her shoulders âoh it was easy but soooo boring I donât know why they asked us to do itâ she says leaning into him he chuckles âwell Iâm glad it wasnât dangerous at least did you like itâ he asks sheepishly she puts her head on his âyeees brothers it was great what was itâ he unwraps his arms and looks at her âthereâs no name for it yet but itâs kinda like a protein brownie was it too grainy or anything what about the after tasteâ he asks âI didn't even realize it was supposed to be healthyâ she puts her hands on his shoulders âOscar Iâm gonna need more of thatâ he smiles âhappy to make some more tonightâ he says proudly yang walks past and ruffles his hair âmake sure to make enough for me too kiddoâ and walks off âhow about that nap ruby my teams still on mission so we should have some timeâ he says taking her hand âyes pleaseâÂ
They walk back to team alpns dorm room after ruby changes into something more casual Oscar was already wearing his normal clothing he sits on his bed and smiles âIâm gonna get to have two naps todayâ she sits down next to him and throws her arm around him "you and your team sure like your naps huh" he smiles as they lie back on his bed "honestly who doesn't like naps I never use to be a huge cuddler but itâs nice to have someone close to you, you knowâ they lie back Oscar resting his head on rubies shoulder âwell I do wish my team took naps together sometimes yang is a big cuddler too but Weiss doesnât like being warm and Blake canât sit still even so less than youâ he snorts as he takes her hand running his thumbs along her knuckles âwell Iâm sure the others wouldnât mind you joining our naps if have to ask but i'll warn you ren sits up in his sleep Jaune snores and i talk in my sleepâ she raises an eyebrow âyou didn't last timeâ she says âthat's cause we were smoking but if i take a nap or if im really tired you can actually talk and I'll talk backâ she grins âwell what do you talk aboutâ he rests his head on her chest âusually about my aunt or all yall but Nora has told me i say lots of stuff about you if i'm askedâ he says his cheeks getting just a tiny bit rosy she grins and plants a kiss on his nose âwell i hope i get the chance to ask but i'll probably fall asleep first im super tiredâ she rolls over and wraps herself around him oscar adjusting to lay on her arm pulling a blanket over them "well if you can get me to talk I'll answer any question just nothing to embarrassing please" he says âi would like to know what you have to say tho so maybe i'll try to hold out just a bit longerâ she says closing her eyes as oscar lets out his relaxed sigh about half of Oscars communication was nonverbal she liked to mentally catalog the things he does when he relaxes he lets out a long almost high pitched sigh it makes her happy to hear that and it helps her relax her thoughts starts to get fuzzy as sleep takes her she wakes up a few hours later laying on her back oscar laying on top of her them both having wrapped around each other she hears quiet murmurs coming from him to quiet to understand "Oscar are you still asleep" she whispers no response "Oscar are you comfy" he nods his head "of course I'm comfy I'm cuddling with ruby" she snickers he was definitely still asleep "who's the coolest person you know" she she's "ruby for sure she's so good at fighting and everyone trusts her I wish I was more like her" she runs her hand through his hair "how do you feel about ruby " she asked "I'm in love with her she makes me feel strong and weak at the same time when she's with me I feel like I'm safe and that we could do anything together i want to be with her forever" she's crying now "oh shit I didn't expect him to be that honest" she thinks as tears run down her face "I love you too Oscar"   she kisses the top of his head âyou know i never used to want like romantic stuff and all the fluffy garbage i just wanted to be a huntress and fight grim stuff like that but you make me want that stuff i wanna take you on dates and like hold your hand and stuff there are a bunch of things i wanna do likeâ she pauses resting her head on his âi forgot you were asleep for a second i'm starting to embarrass myself i do love you tho i dont know when your supposed to say that we've only been i guess dating for what 2 and a half weeks my dad always joked that huntsmen relationships move really fast nothing like holy shit we might die to move a relationship forward right but you make me feel like i don't know amazing and I love being with you you make all my worries disappear even if it's only for a little bit and i'm rambling and your not talking backâ oscar lifts his head âits cause im awake and i love it when you rambleâ she feels her face light on fire âw-what when did you wake upâ he hums happily âaround we might die i think it was nice that stuff you said you can ramble longer if you want what that new gun you saw in that magazineâ she smiles âit's a roller delayed blowback sniper rifle its a smaller caliber than crescent rose but it has a longer effective range because of the way the bore is shaped i prefer bolt actions to semi automatics for a long range rifle semi autos have there merits and stuff it's a lot lighter than crescent rose as well on account of it not also being a giant scythe you know i was thinking about carrying a pistol too crescent rose is great but shes heavy and she's also really hard to conceal even when shes folded speaking of i need to clean her gears a bunch of dust got in them today you said you wanted to learn weapon maintenance i could teach you today if you wantâ âsure i can learn there's a lot of things oz knows but it's like a big library without a librarian its all jumbled upâ she scratches the back of his neck âwell i do not understand the dewey decimal system but i'm happy to helpâ they both giggle at her joke ruby keeps rambling until the rest of team alpn returnÂ
Oscar is walking ruby back to her dorm they come to her door and they turn to face each other and oscar rubs his hands together âso ruby uh I got permission with ironwood to leave school grounds as long as someone's with me so I was wondering if youâd like to maybe go out like on a dateâ she smiles and puts her arms around his shoulders âsounds amazing sweetie Iâm free this weekend where do you want to goâ he blushes and says âwell I actually have something in mind but I wanna keep it a surprise if thatâs okâ she kisses him on the cheek âof course casual clothes or should i dress niceâ he shakes his head âi mean it's really up to you but were not going somewhere fancy just a place I think you'll like" she smiles and kisses his nose and he leans up a little so there lips are level "can i kiss you again" he asks just above a whisper her pressing her lips gently against his is her answer they hold the kiss for a few moments Oscars hands drifting to ruby's waist when they separate she says "i think we're getting pretty good at that" Oscar smiles avoiding her eyes "yeah um It's certainly enjoyable" they break the hug "I'll see you in the morning I'll make that stuff you like ok" he says "yes awesome you're the best Oscar good night" she says as she slips into her from her teammates giving her knowing smirksÂ

Ken Rants About âVanishing Worldâ for Probably Way Too Long
Good evening. My name is Ken, I am a dumb, overanalyzing nerd, and I have completely fallen for the narrative Vocaloid producer Grey (a.k.a. Monstrosity) has set up in the first two songs of her series, Vanishing World. I know only two out of the ten-ish-maybe? songs have been released so far, but Iâve been stewing on my thoughts for a while now and I felt that I absolutely needed to get them down somewhere. in this essay i will- I hope that people are able to see this and possibly be interested in checking the series out? I just feel like it deserves a lot more attention. I highly recommend listening to all the work on her channel. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrq2qxXTl7u-YKeSqIJ5xZA Now, without further ado, I give you my analysis. i feel like im giving myself too much credit for my hyperfocused ramblings lol
WARNING!
This writing discusses themes of mass death and other death related subject matter. If you are disturbed by these things, then please proceed with caution. Stay safe.
Basic Plot Summary
Vanishing World is the story of the end of the world, and the beasts who cause it. One beast for every element or force of nature or whatever. So far, they seem to choose a human to âcooperateâ with in order the wreak their havoc on Earth. Human resistances rise up around the world, although not much information has been provided about them yet. Our story begins in the twenty-fifth day of the month of June, they year 2000.......
Part 1: Aberrant GardenÂ
Kaylee Tagetes was a young girl with a remarkable, and almost scary, gift for gardening. However, as she grew, she spiraled out of control. She began fusing plants with other forms of existence, creating a deadly army for the first destruction god, Carnation. where are your parents??? Also she had this weird flower with a face growing out of her head, but I donât think itâs that relevant also it just scares me so Iâm just gonna ignore it unless I think something up about it, ok? Ok.
An investigator dispatched to âthe site of the anomaly (Iâm assuming this is Kayleeâs house)â finds this information and more inside of a conveniently placed exposition note that was probably just lying on the ground I guess.Â
Some important things I want to highlight in the note:
âHowever, as she grew older, she became... curious about something. Almost like a mysterious force was feeding her thoughts. What was this thing she was curious about, you ask? Simple!
...âBy what means? That part... shall remain a mystery.â
â...and it was at that moment when she was poisoned by a spider monster. Acid flowed through her veins. She fell, passed out from blood loss. Probably dead.â
ââMy name is Carnation, the Monster of Flora. You shall hear more about me in the afterlife- your time is up.ââ
âInto a giant maw she was dropped... no one ever saw her again as Kaylee Tagetes.â
What these things mean (probably):
Every beast is able to get into the mind of its host and pretty much possess them and lead them to do what they want.
Whoever wrote the note wants the process of monster creation to remain a mystery.
Probably dead. Probably.
use your real name, nerd the one you made up sounds stupid
She was eaten. Trapped within the monsterâs stomach.
Our investigator pal jumps on the bandwagon with his own exposition!
âIn the year 2100, the apocalypses rises, fear the chrome god monsters and their trapped traitor humans.âÂ
He goes on about how weird it is that Carnation woke up 100 years before the rest. Also that note was pretty strange too I guess. But the question is, who wrote it? Well, my friend, it seems obvious that it was written by a human being, so I propose the theory that Kaylee herself wrote the note. Iâll explain my reasoning soon enough, but for it to make any sense at all (even though it still probably wonât), I need to move on to.......
quick note: the more i think about this the more stupid it sounds for reasons ill get into in a moment, but im just gonna keep the Kaylee Note Theory here in case it somehow leads to me having some grand revelation about the true author.
 edit:upon further reflection it may be possible, but i still think there is plenty of room for error within my theory.
Part 2: Ulterior Spectacle
Our Earth was at peace. Finally. But they didnât let it last.
Stephan Alexander, nineteen year old photographer and the second traitor human in our story. Using a device gifted to him by the Monster of Ice, Morzogo, he is able to freeze any landscape and turn any human being into stone with the click of a button. This device is the grand Tundra Lens. One of the worst birthdays Iâve ever heard of ngl. He goes around killing millions over a period of five months because of what Morzogo had told him.
âThey donât deserve to see the world as you do. They deserve to be a part of a picture, do they not? Make them go still so you may have the perfect picture. Travel the world and make them allll stiiiill, so theyâll be with you forever.â
To summarize the end of the story:
 girlâs voice snaps him out of trance was that a pun?
instant regret for literal mass murder
suicide via medusa method (mirror, click, bye bye)
Also, if you watch the lovely PV, youâll notice that that girl that brought him back to reality is literally Kaylee Tagetes. A twelve year old killed a chaos god of mass destruction that ate her after she was poisoned and lost a lot of blood. This takes place maybe around the year 2032 and she still looks 12. h o w ? guess sheâs dead now idk all the humans are gonna be ghosts and talk about their poor life decisions in the afterlife i guess
So yeah thatâs basically my explanation for my whole Kaylee wrote the note thing.
Explaining my Kaylee Note Theory:
I think I figured out how she killed Carnation. The poison in her blood. Ingesting that could have killed him. I donât know what it takes to kill an old one or whatever those things are, but maybe??????
The prophesy just states that the human traitor are trapped. Not dead, right? dont know about poor stephan tho oof. unless the possession automatically gives you op protagonist powers. theyâre probably still dead tho
I donât know what motivation she would have for leaving the note behind though.
Maybe she wrote it as a ghost-type-person-thing????? idk i feel like im reaching at this point ive been typing for over an hour now.
also im not sure where to fit this in but some characters talk about The Crisis which is where humans randomly turn into monsters????? idk its just been brought up once so far so i dont know what to think of it.
Alright. The last thing I want to talk about today is.......
Zone-B and Codename:NULL
We first meet Codename:NULL in the description of Battle: Xelzerin (thatâs Carnationâs real name btw. i guess heâs a dork who doesnât think his full name sounds cool like me). Sheâs receiving an email from another Zone-B member, Codename:GANYMEDE, who basically gives us some information about Xelzerin we didnât already know. Including the fact that Xelzerin isnât dead??? i should have re-read everything before i started typing this has just turned into one big semi-organized mess im so sorryÂ
anyway!! foreshadowing about the Earth and Electric beasts, NULLâs name is revealed to be Madeline in the description of Ulterior Spectacle, and apparently Stephan froze over 70% of the world in only five months. Probably a rich kid.
if i werenât so tired and had more information about a story thatâs barely half-way done, i feel like i would be much more thorough with my analysis and theories. i may type out a part 2 once song three drops. until then, ill wait patiently. maybe ill choke out a little theory if i have a sudden revelation but nothing on this scale. maybe ill be able to choke out a timeline as well. i can barely spell i should probably stop hope you enjoyed sorry it go so messy towards the end especially right here ily goodbye.
proofreading: barely im sorry

Dungeons and Arcana
Chapter 2: Character Building
Muriel stared at the screen, idly petting Scout as he tried to see if there was any jobs in town. So far, most of them were for jobs he didnât qualify for or gave him too much anxiety for him to consider. â..... ugh. Thatâs enough for today.â He closed the laptop and set it aside. After a few seconds of not staring at a screen, he got up and set Scout down. Time for chores. There wasnât much to do, the apartment was small, but they needed to get it done. Feed and water the dogs and Faust, make sure Scout didnât try to eat Inannaâs food, make the bed, put clothes in the basket for later, put the dishes on the counter to be washed later, make sure the dogs didnât shit or piss in the house, take the trash out, and finally, walk the dogs.
As he walked, he hoped that theyâd be getting a new home soon. It was cramped living in the apartment with two other people, a snake, and two dogs, but itâs what they could afford. His mind drifted off as he thought about the kind of house they all wanted: out of town, a big backyard, good insulation, and big enough so that they could each have their own room. It wasnât going to be cheap, but it would be so worth it.
He was about to turn back when Scout stopped and stared at a person, the boofed, grabbing the personâs attention away from their phone. âHey, Scout, no.â They looked up at him, small tail wagging. âNo boofing at strangers.â
He looked up to find the stranger walking up to him with a smile. âHi, awkward question, can you help me find a place?â
âUmâŚ.â Inanna gently nudges his thigh. âY⌠yeah. Where are you looking for?â
âDo you know a place called the Rowdy Raven? My brother wants me to meet him there, but the map doesnât think it exists.â They hold up their phone, trying to prove their point.
â.......â He taps their phone, putting in the address. âThis map isnât up-to-date⌠There.â
âThank you!â They grin, bouncing in place, then turning and holding out their hand to him. âIâm Portia, she/her.â
That was the first time someone introduces themself like that, he like it. âMuriel, he/him.â
âWell, it was nice to meet you, and hopefully, weâll meet again!â She runs off, red hair flowing after her.
Scout snapped him back to reality by barking and tugging on the leash, pointed towards the apartment. He smiles softly, following the terrier hom. When he opened the door, he was hit with the smell of lemons and strawberries. He lets the dogs off their leashes and wanders to the kitchen, finding Mordenkainen watching a pan in the oven. âHey M.C.â
They look up and smile. âHey, Muriel! How was your walk?â
âIt was alright, someone asked for directions though.â He looked around the room and groaned. âMordy.â The kitchen was a mess, cabinets and drawers were open, dirty dishes and ingredients were left out. âYou canât keep doing this.â
They look up with an expression that was hard to describe, but gave off the feeling of ���I know Iâm being a brat, but am trying to look as non-guilty as possibleâ. âDoing what?â
He gestures at the rest of the kitchen. âThis aries mess! You know to clean up.â
âI donât know what you mean.â They squat in front of the oven, as if that would hide their deeds.
âIâm a virgo, you canât leave messes like this!â He groans, torn between laughing and mortification.
They wiggle a bit in place, smiling. Then a timer goes off and they pull out a cake, lemon with strawberry. Scout comes running into the room, boofing softly and watching the cake. âNot for you, itâs not for you.â They baby voice their dog, setting the pan on the oven. They run a sink full of water and soap, then wander around the kitchen for dishes to clean.
âThank you.â He sighs, closing cupboards and drawers, then wiping off the counters. âWhy did you make a cake?â
âCanât I ever just make a cake?â They pouted, then nod. âItâs for Julianâs sister and the group, she had a birthday recently and I figured it would be a good excuse for a cake. That reminds me, Lucio agreed to let you join the group.â
He stops wiping the table. âOhâŚâŚâ He was nervous, he knew there wasnât that much to be worried about, but groups of people still made him nervous.
They stop and look at him. âWe.. we can cancel plans with him, if you really donât want to.â
He shook his head, he wanted to, but that didnât stop the worry in his thoughts. âI⌠What do I need to do?â
They smile and sit at the table and urge him to sit as well. âWell, you donât need to bring much, just a character sheet. Asra and I can get the other items, like dice and some snacks.â They tilt their head at the cooling cake. âWould you like help with a character creation?â
He thinks for a bit, then nods. âPlease.. I donât even know where to start.â
They leave the room, then return with a laptop. âHe said to do a self insert, so you donât have to really worry about choosing a personality or basic looks, other than your own. We basically just need to select a class, choose some equipment, and then wait for Lucio to give us information on the world so that we can make you a background. Also, at some point we need you to get in contact with him.â
He nods, looking at the sheet they pulled up. âOkay, okay.â
Within a few hours, theyâve managed to do the basics and have them explain some of the finer details. âRemember, if you get confused, just ask one of us, okay?â
âOkayâŚâŚ You said that⌠Lucy? Wanted to talk to me?â
âYes, Lucio, would like to talk to you. Would you like his number or to meet him in person? His discord maybe?â
â....... Discord might be best for now.â They give him Lucioâs discord, then leave him at the table to frost the cake. âWhat kind of cake did you make?â
âLemon with strawberry pieces.â They grin, setting the frosted cake into the fridge. âI think Portia will like it.â
Portia.. Could they meanâŚ.? âWhat does Portia look like?â
âNot sure. Julian said that she was him, but shorter and brighter.â They sat down with him again. âHe said that most of us will probably get along with her. Why?â
He shrugs. âMet someone who said her name was Portia earlier.â
They grin, leaning closer. âOoooooo~ You met someone.â
He blushed a bit, pushing their face back. âItâs not like that. She asked for directions, then ran off.â
They laughed, patting his hand. âYou met someone, and if itâs the same Portia that Julian speaks of, youâll see her Saturday.â
He slowly takes his hand away. âOkayâŚ. Can.. can you sit with me while I contact Lu⌠Lucio?â
âSure thing, dude.â
He smiles, whistling Inanna to come over, he pet her for a bit, then sent a message to him.
Muriel: This is Lucio? glamorousCapricious: That depends, whoâs asking? Muriel: Muriel glamorousCapricious: arsaâs friend? Muriel: yes glamorousCapricious: can you give me a few minutes? Busy at work with a drunk Muriel: ok
He sits back and sighs, he wasnât sure if waiting was worse, but thatâs all he could do. â.... go get some rest, M.C.â
They shrug, trying not to yawn. âNot that tired.â
âMaybe not, but I know you have work tomorrow. Go to bed.â He lightly pushes at their shoulder, urging them to bed.
âFiiiiiine.â They yawn and get up, gently patting his shoulder. âDonât stay up too late yourself, okay?â
âOkay, good night.â
âNiiiiight!â They wander to the bathroom, probably to shower.
He hears the notification on his phone and pulls it up. Itâs from Asra.
Asra: guess who i found at work! Me: Julian Asra: no Asra: well, yes, but hes not the focus!
Asra sent him a selfie of himself, Lucio, and a vaguely familiar person.
Asra: found your cuz! Asra: did you know he was coming today? Me: I thought he was coming tomorrow
Shit, shit, shit! He got out of the seat and started trying to clean up the living room and extending out the bed from the couch.
Asra: apparently he had to cancel plans due to his break up and just came early Asra: is it alright that he comes to our house a night early?
No!
Me: yeah Asra: ill let him know! Asra: he says hi and thanks!
The shower stops, so he takes his chance. âMordy! Where did we put the extra blankets?â
âUhhhhhhh! I think theyâre under the bed!â
He runs into the bedroom and looks under the bed, immediately followed by Scout. There was a plastic container filled with blankets. Scout crawled under and batted at the box. âYes, good puppy.â He struggles to get it, but is eventually able to have the blankets. He picks out some of the warmer blankets and gets them onto the couch. âPillows, pillows..â Those were easier to find, scattered all over the house. He found a few different ones, not sure what his cousin prefered. â.......... this should be good enough.â
Me: tell him I said hi Me: when is he and you coming over? Asra: after my shift or til he gets bored of this place, so in a few hours or less
Thatâs not comforting.
Me: ok Asra: i gotta go back to the music, ttyl! Me: bye
He was about to put his phone away when he got a text from an unknown number texted him.
Unknown: This is Muriel, right? Me: who are you Unknown: Lucio Me: how did you get my phone number? Unknown: Arsa. he gave it to me, probably didnât know that someone else gave you my discord
Yeah, that sounds about right. He saves Lucioâs number.
Me: then why are you texting me? Lucio: texting is faster in here than discord Me: oh Lucio: can I ask you some questions for the game? Me: sure Lucio: do you have a character sheet and a general sense of a backstory? Me: yes, do you want a picture of it? Lucio: that would be perfect
He sends him a copy and a small blurb of the background heâd come up with.
Lucio: interesting Lucio: are you open to suggestions? Some details might work better in the world iâm trying to create Me: what changes? Lucio: instead of living on a mountain, would you be open to the middle of the woods? Me: yes, that works Lucio: also, what would you/your character ask for as a super power from a magical entity? Me: âŚâŚ.. Im not sure Lucio: i see.. Lucio: you wanted them to be an ex gladiator? Me: yes Lucio: do you desire an active part in the campaign or would you like a more passive role for now? Me: passive would be best for now Lucio: did they have a gladiator name and did the crowd like them? Lucio: or do you want me to decide that? Me: donât have a name, but i think he was hated
It takes a while, but he does respond back.
Lucio: How does Scourge of the South sound? Me: sounds good
The rest of the conversation was determining some of the finer details, like his relation to some of the other characters, a bit more backstory, that he could bring Inanna to the game, and that he was now an accomplice for Lucio to move the plot forward for the others. In his words, âThe others sometime go on a streak of not doing things and results in them not doing anything, but wanting more to do of what he didnât plan for.â He snorts. That sounds like M.C. and Asra.
Maybe this game wouldnât be so bad.
