#ooc: yay first interaction YAY

[corruptedcadavers]

Hello Mr. Reed! Damn I’m a bit stressed, haha

Lately I started attending theology classes but, I must say, I feel a bit out of place there, there’s a lot of stuff that I just don’t keep up with and,,, that really doesn’t matter, does it now?

What I wanted to ask is… Would it be fine with you to maybe eventually talk a bit? Help me get into whole topic a bit more? It’s totally fine if not. I’m a very big fan of your works and after seeing how open you are to interactions online I just thought it might be worth a shot? Haha..

I can totally pay or something. It’s not like I want to use your kindness, gods forbid haha

- @holypaws (gave up with paragraph about John the Apostle lol)/ooc

“Quite nervous, aren’t you? I could tell through the tone, ha.”

He laughed a bit, crossing his arms. However… You got him curious. What could he talk about with this mystery person? Hm… Either way, he’s on board.

Anything involving talking and discussing religion is a given “yes,” you know!

“I don’t see why not. Is there any specific topics you’d want me to discuss? I have notebooks and research dedicated to… Well, almost anything. So I’d be willing to provide some of my work to you if you’d like.”

A theology student as well. Interesting.

[dr-jonathan-fanshawe]

There is nothing to worry about, I think. You seem taken aback, so I guess it wouldn't work out anyway...

he's the same age as you. doesn't jonah have a Thing for men older than him

Yes, it does.

[schizoidcel]

Hii! Saw that you’ve opened requests for project moon. What about Sinclair x reader (original universe or mirror) where reader was sure that Sinclair hates them. But Sinclair was just shy + his menacing gaze wasn’t particularly helping. Kinda hurt - comfort. Btw have a good day!

## CINQ!SINCLAIR x READER ★☆

𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒 : not proofread, MIGHT be abit the tiniest bit ooc

𝐒𝐘𝐍𝐎𝐏𝐒𝐈𝐒 : your new director lowkey scares the ever living shit out of you :heart:

︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶༉‧₊˚.

Oh he's terrifying

You were recently promoted to south section 4, and ofcourse you heard the things you dubbed as 'rumours' about the director of the branch.

Now, not only did you think wrong, but you felt like he had something against you

Yes, you talked to him from time to time, and from the way he spoke with you and with others you gathered that he was a timid and nervous man

But it all just changed when he was lecturing people, moreso if he was in an ACTUAL duel

Seeing him in the 'training hall' trying to teach tricks and whatnot to his underlings, but ultimately he either accidently ends up being too hard on them or

Uh

Actually just that .

Frankly you were abit scared to train under him aswell

Sure, he did seem truly kind hearted ..

So why is it that whenever you felt a stare on you, you felt like you were having a fight to the death with the south section 1 fixers

UEAG anyway

Soon enough, it was your time to train with him! Yay!

He had his eye on you (very obviously) and was excited to have a friendly training session with you<3

But you were (also very obviously) scared and reluctant around him, sighing alot

Which made the maneven more nervous 😭😭

He's used to people being frightened while getting trained by him but he genuinely thought he was nice with you so far and that you two had something going

Did he do something wrong. Why are you scared. He dosen't mean to bite he swears

He tries to distract himself from the fact you might REALLY REALLY not like him by straying off course and teaching you random ass association battle tricks everyone should actually be aware of (even though suprisingly you learnt some new stuff)

He can't properly express his emotions, it's a thing he struggles with

After interacting with him you can pick up that he's just a demure young man, one you'll have to be patient with

You'll have to reassure him that he's fine and he'll go back to normal! (as normal as he can got back to)

────────── ♱ ❜ 🖤 . .

"G-good day, [name]! How are you?" The child asked, looking at them with curiosity. "...Well, you know, same old, same old... Ha. Ha. Haha." Some thoughts suicide got into their head for a moment.

However, the child didn't seem to care. Infact, he was ecstatic at the answer he had been given. "That's good to hear..! Uhm, as you're new, I'll make sure to teach you alot." He said with a smile.

Yet again, he wasn't entirely stupid. He could tell that everyone he duelled against had always been in a state of distress, and this time was no different.

What was different was the fact that the child had a newfound determination of trying his best to make sure the same incident dosen't happen again.

He had been wanting to talk to the newly promoted fixer for awhile now. At times, he would think of trying to figure out what to say that would be a good enough excuse to approach them.

He did not find this excuse, and kept staring at them for a long period of time accidently, which in turn inevitably brought upon a wrong idea in the head of his person of interest.

Sure, he was awkward, but he tried, and he found this a good oppurtunity. The child didn't want to give up.

"Alright, so..." He started to raise his voice just a little bit, not wanting to come off as too uncertain. "First, it's important to know the right way to yield the sword, but I'm aware you know that..." He chuckled abit, trying to lighten up the mood. He was in thought for abit, then began speaking once more.

"'Disengagement' is a commonly used tactic, as it is also very effective if executed correctly. I assume you also know of that?" The child questioned and proceeded to draw his sword.

The other child, dubbed [name], nodded their head. "I do." Although, the voice suggested more of a 'I don't actually know, but please let me be.' tone rather than a 'I know, and you don't have to teach me.' tone.

"Well, I would still like to teach you it in a more proper way. As your new director!" A sigh came out of the newly promoted Fixer's mouth, which made the child awkwardly chuckle. "...Uhm..." He thought he might've done something wrong. Not just in the interaction happening right now, but also the several times he attempted to be friendly with his person of interest, who now looked completely done and unnerved infront of him. Yet he couldn't focus on that right now. "Alright, let me demonstrate --"

The childs underling looked abit more stressed after he uttered those words, but they drew their sword aswell regardless.

The child proceeded to instruct his trainee.

It was obvious that both of them were in completely different physical spaces.

"'Pistol Grip', [name]." "Like this?" "N... No. Wait, let me -" "Ouch." "- Sorry!"

What was also kind of obvious was that they were in completely different mental spaces.

'Oh god. I can't keep going on like this... The awkwardness is killing me. I feel like I'm doing something wrong.' 'I wonder if director Quixote is singing in the Caféteria again...'

However, as both the children were distracted on the training field, an accident was sure to arrive soon.

Unfortunately, the director almost completely pierced through the shoulder of the one he trained. "Shit--" "O-oh dear..! [Name], I'm- I'm so sorry! I was..." The child panicked as he dropped his weapon and walked towards his trainee for today with haste, abit uncharacteristically. Thankfully, nobody really paid attention to nor noticed the both of them, due to the hall being so loud. The injured child groaned abit in pain as they clutched their shoulder, which made the directors heart fill up with guilt.

"A-again, I apologize sincerely, [name]. I'm just... Really distracted, I don't know how to explain it." He did, actually. He just really didn't want to because pf embarassment. "Maybe we should cancel the training session, I'll get you some assistance --"

"O-oh, director, don't worry about it." "..?" "It's alright. I know how you feel, actually. So I can understand. Cancelling the session really isn't necessary, It was probably my fault for treating this whole encounter weirdly in the first place... Maybe you in general, too. So I should apologize... Sorry."

The child looked abit taken aback from that statement, but shook his head and let out a relieved chuckle, "It's alright, please don't worry... I'm, uh, glad we resolved this." He smiled, a smile unusually soft and heart felt, especially coming from this one.

"Then, I hope you can come to me abit more in confidence if you need anything, [name]." The child seemed to have been abit more at ease now, which made him manage to speak quite normally.

He wondered if it would be considered weird to ask them to hang out later right in this moment.

"... I change my mind, can we bandage this?" "Ah, but ofcourse..!"

HEARTS FOR UR REQUEST <3 i had fun writing this hes so pathetic lol. i added a scenario cus i didnt rlly know how to do the hcs (ALSO SORRY IF HES OOC? im not the biggest sinnie fan so i mightve messed up oops

on another note .. i wanted to use the narrator for the id uptie stories cus i feel like it'd be neater that way. so i didnt really describe every single emotional change but im sure yall can like figure out where and what

ૢ་༘࿐ thank you for reading ! Ⳋ᧙

[fl3sh34t3r]

(Ooc : soo,,,i've seen the Dreamer [aka Folly,,,Catjammi ended up confirming in one of the replies that they're not different people sjdbf-] and,,,i did in fact notice how shorter Dreamer was besides Folly ! And- I'm pretty sure Dreamer is a bit shorter than Enidan from the past,,,so, I ended up making this during classes ! :3

sorry Enidan lol, sometimes u have to be the shorter bestie !

also, yes, in the first image, that is indeed Enidan from the past ! And what is scribbled out besides her is her actual name- which im not revealing yet ! :b btw its face is like that bECAUSE IM NOT REVEALING IT !!! you'll only get to see its eye for now ! :3

[psst, i may actually end up revealing her face soon in this month,,,:D so yay !!! its either im revealing it on my main account,,, or here ! if i do reveal it on my main account tho, i will reblog that post here ! :b]

[ACK long info thing here under cut,,,its kinda important info but feel free to ignore !]

also, im just gonna say this here- Enidan's lore with Folly can end up changing ! Now of course- they'll still remain as its assistant but how they met, how they interacted before, etc,,,can end up changing ! the reason why is because- i am also trying to figure out Folly's lore ! since Folly isn't my character- i am usually analyzing a ton of stuff with Folly to figure out her lore and stuff :b because of that, it's likely i'll be changing parts of Enidan's lore the more i find out of Folly's lore to have it at least more accurate :3 remember !!! I made Enidan during JUNE and the first time i posted about her was in JULY i believe!!!! so stuff will end up changing !! i want to keep things accurate and improve on parts of her story, so expect some changes !! if anything, it's likely i'll change stuff that has Folly involved, so,,,if there's any lore-related ask with Folly- there's not going to be a definitive answer,,,of course, i'll be responding to the ask still but the answer to that ask may end up changing in the future,,,so pls, remember that !!!

that's all i wanted to say :3)

[nottakingresponsibility]

Welcome to the horrors, time to turn right.

"Hello there, I'll be posting out of my own free will, do whatever, don't expect me to be nice to you." [ooc introduction below the cut, triggers, tags, RULES! Cause apparently I have to have those?? etc. Be warned. It is a lot, however, at the very least the rules are required to read. If you don't want to check the tags, this is to minors specifically, block the #responsibilityisforgotten tag.]

OOC here!! Waves. This is pre-crash, by the way! He's already aware of the Jimmyverse. You guys did this. Also the owner of the @tulparsresponsiblenurse blog now, yay? About the mod! I am 18! Mainly go by he/him anyways, so this is fine! I'm not too great at socializing, but anyone is welcome to interact with me or Jimmy, it's always welcome!! Ocs and other fandoms included, of course! I can't guarantee I'll know anything about said fandom, but Jimmy won't know shit either so it works out, right? I do not support Jimmy's actions. I'm gonna make that clear here and now, I just enjoy his writing, and want to explore him as a character. He'll also be mean a lot, that's just how he is I fear. Obviously lots of swearing. Uh. I do that a lot. Hi. Also, JimCurl is the only ship I tolerate with Jimmy in it, and it will show up on this blog. I have a tag for it, don't worry! I know those men are awful for each other, and I would portray it as such. Even through Jimmy's twisted, unreliable perspective. I don't really have much of a DNI, other than the basic criteria. If you have to ask what that is, you probably shouldn't interact with me anyway. I highly encourage other blogs to interact with me!! It's really fun roleplaying and getting to know people. :] Roleplay wise, pretty much anything is on the table as long as everyone involved is having fun. I should let you know this, if I don't respond to you it's nothing personal!! I just genuinely don't know how sometimes :[. Also, I've been kind of inactive as of recent! Please be patient with me. If I may add, I do NOT roll with the 'oh Jimmy is STINKY!! And SMELLS bad and has BAD hygiene!!' insults or whatever. My version of Jimmy has mental health issues, and he struggles with taking care of himself. It's a projection from me, I also struggle with taking care of myself so it kind of annoys me when people antagonize that. Thanks for understanding! Just to make this clear as well cause someone asked before, minors are allowed on this blog, yes, but they need to stay away from anything suggestive, and if it's found out a minor has asked anything weird, they will be blocked for their safety. Triggers and warnings you can expect on this blog. Obviously, the basic Mouthwashing triggers first off, but there's more! Jimmy has backstory and lore, wow. Well, in my version of him anyway. By that I mean, you can expect other things such as: Child abuse, child neglect, abuse in general, just Jimmy being Jimmy, self harm, sui ideation, sui in general, self harm thoughts, derealization, obviously just violence all around, manipulation and such, bugs, s/a themes, emetophobia stuff, eating disorder implications, alcoholic themes, death, murder, body horror, blood, cannibalism, I'm not sure if it's needed yet, but sometimes things do get suggestive, so be warned about that, too. There's a lot of things that happen here that I don't have an exact warning for, things happen in roleplay you can't predict. Just be wary and cautious, I'll try to put a warning before I write anything like that. Most of this is just based on things that may happen to Jimmy in the future. I'll update this if I missed anything!! Stay safe :] RULES. That's it, click that. Also! Anon list! Click that as well, not required this time around though! My tags and what they all mean! General tags!

#responsibilityhateshim: Jimmy answering his asks! #responsibilitytolerateshim: Jimmy answering his asks, to a person that has shown up often, so a regular! #responsiplay: Roleplay threads, or at this point it's just in character reblogs. #responsible[crew member name]: Roleplay thread or in character reblog with a specific member of the Tulpar crew! Or, you know, Polle. #jimmysrunningagain: My ooc tag! When this tag is used, it means I'm talking, not Jimmy! I also use () around my words! #jimbobsresponsibility: The JimCurl tag, things with this have either heavy implications of, or direct JimCurl in them. #responsiblelore: Lore tag! Things important to Jimmy as a character, things that may help you torture him further. #responsibilitytalks: Just a general Jimmy talking about things or doing things tag, when it's not in reply to an ask and it's not a reblog. Often open to roleplays with them if you want, though! #writingresponsibly: Jimmy posts where he's writing in his journal instead of actually speaking! These posts will also have all the journal written text in purple! #responsibilityisforgotten: For suggestive and ...possibly worse! Things, if it ever is needed. So minors, and people uncomfortable with that, please block this tag.

#musicalshenanigans: When people send music links to Jimmy or me! So be free to scroll around if you're looking for music.

#whimsyartjourney: When other people send in art! I just think it's neat. I don't draw, this isn't for me! #takeresponsibility: Post-crash themed nightmares, hallucinations, or otherwise. Figured it was about time I got a tag for that! That was a lot, right? There's more. Specific event tags! Aka, shit happens to Jimmy that can be classified as a special event, here's a tag for it. (psst. You can cause events too, if you play your cards right!) #lostlizardtales: That one time Jimmy lost his pet lizard, Ray! (He remembers this.) #truthpotionhorrors: When Jimmy accidentally drank a 'soda' that turned out to be some sort of truth potion, so he couldn't lie! (Doesn't remember.) #jimmyschildishresponsibility: When Jimmy got turned into his child self for a while. (Barely remembers and just thinks it was a weird dream.) #drinkingresponsibly: Seemingly, without any alcohol at all, he managed to get intoxicated, apparently. He was not very good at talking, he fucking hated it, actually. (Barely remembers, heavy blanks in his memory.) #truthcursethe2nd: Jimmy got cursed to say the truth for 5 asks I fear. A few of them were extras because they were already answered before this event, either directly or indirectly. (He does remember this one.) #jimmytriescursing: That time Jimmy got cursed to be incapable of swearing, instead getting forced to say the most insane bullshopperoonie things. (He remembers this one.) #jimmysofafeather: CURSE OF RA. (Actually just Jimmy becoming weirdly obsessed with birds for 15 asks but that's what inflicted it.) (He remembers this one. Regrettably.) #criticalswap: Jimmy switched roles with Anya for ten asks! In this small time, he was never actually a co-pilot! Anya is, in that case. He was the nurse! Very fun to write I fear. (He doesn't remember this, what a shame.) Person specific tags! Tags for specific characters, (like ocs, mainly) I just think it's fun! #washout: Kaleb Doran/Smokey tag! Aka that one Fallout oc that's Jimmy's frenemy! ...And also has a lot of other insane things going on! (atombombskilledtheradiostar) #lawsuitscalling: Brianne Cohen tag! Aka head of the legal team, being dragged into her job while just barely tolerating anyone she contacts! (exhausted-lawyer) #notholdingliability: Polle? Intern that just gets mistaken for the mascot. A lot! Not responsible for any of the crew's mistakes, of course. (pony-express-official) #wateranon🌊: Water Anon tag! Literally just a sentient ocean that gave Jimmy his lizard, Ray! Jimmy has grown attached without really meaning to. (wateranon) #doubtingresponsibilities: Jimmy's very own voice of self doubt! Or, rather something else. Either way, only in his mind to make his life hell. (broken-bridle) Cause that's who Doubt really is, technically. Woahh. (lots of lore in that tag) #steveman27⛏️: Self explanatory I think. Steveman27 tag, yes the Minecraft character. No you are not mistaken. (steveman27) #crossingtheuniverses: A ship full of certain characters you may or may not be familiar with, but it takes place in the Mouthwashing universe! Applies to every conversation that takes place with anyone part of said universe. (starlight-stables) #responsibleseal: I will probably never use this, but it's fun to mess around with this critter anyways. ( @local-seal ) #commitmentisaresponsibility: Jimmy has a girlfriend holy shit. Well, kind of. I'm not sure if I'd consider it canon to his character, probably not. But either way she's there! Commitment isn't his strong suit, I fear. (stoopidpigeonxx) #gaininghopefulthoughts: Hope! Kind of. Jimmy isn't taking that well. In fact, probably taking it in the worst way possible. He's so used to problems he refuses to have it ever. (Not sure who to credit this for 😭 same mod that made Doubt and broken-bridle though) That's all! Stay safe and have fun interacting! :] Jimmy death counter is at 17 by the way. None of them canon.

Hmm.. I suppose it could possibly work, but only if they were raised in captivity and heavily imprinted on. At the end of the day, it’s still a horrible idea

Backstory post (vague-ish summary) :

(ooc) i've been meaning to make a brief one since. forever buuuuut i got caught up with schoolwork and stuff. but now i'm on break ! yay !

! TW ! : Drug mentions, sexual abuse (specifically on children) mentions.

mostly everything is vague and summarized, but still.

(Keep in mind, I am no writer, and english isn't my first language so please bare with me 💔)

So Oscar's early childhood was relatively normal despite never knowing his mother. He grew up with a wonderful father in the best conditions possible. His father, William, was a well known Irish politician.

At the age of 5, his house was broken into, resulting in his father's death. Oscar was abducted by the people who murdered his father, and was forced to work with them.

He worked as a honeypot/prostitute for the drug cartel that kept him captive. (A honeypot is a spy who uses sex to trap or blackmail a target.) He was chained to a bed during the majority of his captivity and was barely fed at all. His dominant arm was cut off in case he'd want to use his ability against his captors.

Since most of his "clients" smoked/drank while hurting him, he developped a severe aversion to the smell and a distrust of older men specifically. His captors would sometimes put cigarettes out on him as a form of punishment, or make him drink when he was being too uncooperative.

He never learned how to read/write and had pretty limited social interactions (only being let out to carry out blackmail related missions.)

He keeps his past hidden for the most part, since he's afraid of being judged for it. His mind blocked out many events, but he still sometimes get nightmares from them.

[oh-to-be-a-murderer]

Hello. Sorry to bother you, just checking up on you because of the drama. I too was bothered by gekolover12 aka that Loki that’s been bothering everyone. It sucks balls (pardon the profanity if you don’t like profanity sorry) that that’s been happening.

Giving you a huggo and hope you’re doing ok

Also first time interacting besides the likes.. so the blue is the mod here. Hi. Lupin here :)

Hi there! I am not bothered at all. I don't care what the idiot says or thinks about me. I just have beef with that shit cuz they hurt one of my favourite acc's Mods on here. @/official-buckybarnes I await their notification everyday and honestly seeing them hurt, hurt me. Hence the hasty message. And no I don't mind profanities but thank you for clearing it out!

A bigger hug back to you, hope that shit leaves us alone!

Yay! Just realised that? We should do it more often! Natasha, nice to meet you (yes Ooc and Oc is both Natasha)

[superhero-tsukasa-official]

Intro!!!

So, I heard that my friends were making these blog things, and I thought that I should give it a try!

//Uh… hi, it’s me @ithappenedonroute66 again. I wanted to join the superhero Au. So I took Tsukasa. I’m only missing Emu now, then I’ll have blogs for all of WxS.

Stop talking about me getting bonked!!! That's bullying >:( (/j, I love it. Please do.)

Guys, please watch this awesome thing @superhero-an-official made.

Powers? Glad you asked!

-Whenever stars appear, his stamina increases anywhere from 1.50/half to 2!!! This increases even further if shooting stars/constellations appear, but any star works!!! Yes, this includes the sun. The boost is only by 0.5 at most though, and it’s possible for him to get no boost at all via the sun. However, if he is covered by a blanket or is in the dark in some other way, his stamina is not boosted. Oh, and when that happens, he'll feel drained depending on how he used his boosted stamina.

-Can manipulate any sound less than 2 miles away by lowering its volume, speeding it up, etc. However, there is a catch. However he manipulates the sound will change his hearing in the same way. The change is worse and affects him longer the further away the sound. (Ie, if he quiets down a sound next to him, his hearing will be slightly quieter for 10 minutes. If he distorts a sound exactly 2 miles away, his hearing is really distorted for the next 2.5 hours. He usually carries around noise canceling headphones for this reason.)

As a genetic thing, the Tenmas can teleport via stars and use piano notes to make enemies uncomfortable.

Rules!!! Yay!!! :D

-No NSFW. Tsukasa may not be a minor, but I am.

-Aus can interact, since this is an Au blog. But if you’re a mermaid blog, I have a different blog for that :)

Tags!!!

-Asks!!! - any asks that I may answer!

-Important - usually reblogged from my canon Nene blog. Read through anything tagged as this.

-The Star’s Friends! - Any rp blog interactions.

Ooc - self explanatory!

Additional tags:

-Variants of “The Star’s Friends!” - used for interactions during his villain arcs!

-Something’s Wrong… - used for any post made during his first villain arc!

-So that she can smile. - any post made in his second villain arc!

-“This is the night of insanity I wished for.” - His third arc!

-Are you ok? - used if another blog is having a villain arc and I interact with it.

-The moments that were forgotten - lore posts!!!

Lore is under the cut!!!

He usually wears a bracelet Rui made at school to avoid messing with school speakers or something. (Just a fun detail I wanted to add)

He was born with the stamina thing, but the sound manipulation came up when his SEKAI was made. He used this to mess with Toya’s lessons whenever he could, but he never learned where it was from.

He got his sound manipulation in response to his feelings, and when Miku and KAITO tried to get his attention, he sort of… blocked them out, because them interacting with him sort of caused them to give him, as the SEKAI’s creator, a gift: sound manipulation.

[hydro-eidolon-kaveh]

*Kaveh giggles, the sound sweet and high.*

You're so pretty when you blush... you aren't exactly convincing me that you aren't lovely, Hayi~

Did I do something wrong? I thought kisses were one of the most common ways humans show affection to each other...

Haitham... would you like to go to the waterfall together?

I mean... as a couple!

I believe it's called a date, right?

~ @hydro-eidolon-kaveh-official 🫧

Yes, I would like to.. And it is called a date.

[dorothyblackburnoc]

────────༺☆༻────────

hello :3 welcome to the Dorothy blog!!! this is me the owner Marshall also known as @uglycryingyloser(my main acc) and i will be joining the ramshackle rp or just posting my daughter here cause i have a lot for her and i just wanna share some of it here, also just a quick thingy: I AM A MINOR so please no nsfw or being weird, im fine with ships but like keep it pg vro💔 ALR NOW FOR DOROTHY AAAAAAA

──────🔮info for oc☀️───── Dorothy Blackburn is one of the town members of ramshackle, her mother was a witch coming all the way from Mexico before settling down with some guy in ramshackle and started a business together then the two getting married and having Dorothy along with her sibling Charlene. during their time together via being homeschooled and just being at home in general, the two start learning about witchcraft and even start to practice it themselves, obviously since (at least in my rp/au thingy..) witchcraft isn’t that well known or antagonized it wasn’t long before word got around and they were immediately outcasted the second the rich community got word of this and then it was used against the two as bullying and blackmail material while also being actively burned alive at the stake

yea definitely not traumatic she’ll be fine but yea that’s her background <3 onto the bonus part of her trivia and dialogue :3 (optional to read btw although would recommend)

──────💛Dorothy trivia🌙─────

She is bisexual.

She will not rest until she gets a spell right.

She plays the flute.

She is an awful liar

Her safe space is the Library and her home

Her love language is gifts and physical touch for both platonic and romantic relationships

[ GIFTS TO EXPECT WHEN GIVEN: dead rats/mice, odd liquids in bottles(potions), drawings, leafs, dead flowers, rocks, etc just rlly odd gifts in general ]

She actively tries to do her witchcraft in private so she isn’t constantly trying to get burned alive by the rich community 

She gets very excited when she starts talking about her interest and people she adores, potentially going on rants just about the topic and rambles.

The reason people call her “cat witch” or “big-eyed witch” is because she does have big eyes, somewhat resembling a cat

She whispers. Alot. This will be important for her dialogue which is actually something we’re gonna cover rn

─🕯️DOROTHY DIALOGUE AAAHHH🌟─

OK OK OK AHAHJAKWJWKWKOWKQKKW AAAAA im so happy to share small details like this,

Ok so first off IM NOT GONNA FUCKING TYPE OUT HER FULL NAME 💔 so I’ve decided to make an emoji combo for her to make it more easy to type so here it is in my goofy ass notes app🔥

also this is what it’s gonna look like for rp, [AHGHEM]

🔮👛: “����ℯ𝓁𝓁ℴ?” [ she whispered, stared at the them, her iconic eyes staring intensely at the character as she psychoanalyzed them in her head. ] the reason why she whispers is because mainly she’s an overall socially anxious woman like she has ZERO social skills or anything she would not survive a house party💔 also she just intensely stares at people so think of like boba cat eyes and that’s her, no she doesn’t know she does the eyeball thing half the time until she looks in a mirror😔

and for me the owner for Out Of Character (OOC) interactions it’s like this:

{ OOC: heyy chat }

but yea that’s it uh YAY!!! if you want to start rps or ask anything abt her just use the askbox :3!!!! that’s it but if you read the whole thing I hope you have the best day and things go well <3

[idontknowanametouse]

Tashigi and Smoker siblings AU (plus Hina and some others)

Because one (1) person asked me to talk about it! Yay! (long post btw)

OMG this is so fucking niche and may be cringe and OOC but I don't care this is so much fun

Secretly soft Smoker my beloved. Weirdgirl Tashigi my beloved. Pretends to be responsible but is actually not Hina my beloved

(cw: canon typical violence, child neglect, emotional abuse, toxic family relationships, physical abuse, private prison, kidnapping, children in life-endangering situations, brainwashing/mind control/idk-like situation, slight misgendering, deadname mention, non-consensual drugging)

Backstories (because if Oda doesn't do them backstories apparently I'll have to myself)

Smoker and Hina:

Smoker's village was attacked and destroyed by pirates when he was 5, and then was taken in by an orphanage that took care of many orphans from all of the world (they were a floating place, similar to Germa). However, they didn't take care of the kids well and mainly neglected them, also instituting physical punishments. At there, Smoker met Hina (she is 2 years older than him here) and they became the only friends each other had at the time, having a sibling-like relationship. When Smoker was 14 and Hina 16, they ran away due to being tired of that place and almost died a few times until they met Tsuru who offered to take the two in on the Marines, and they did accept it, not only because of the whole almost dying thing but also because they hate pirates due to them destroying their homelands. While in the marines as a recruit, Smoker did approach a lot Akainu, who saw in him a potential of someday taking over his place as Admiral, both in power and mindset. That lead to Akainu eventually taking a decision he would regret for the rest of his life.

Tashigi:

Tashigi's parents were pretty absent in her life and very neglectful, to the point she had to learn to do many things on her own as a 6 years old. Her deadname was just the word used to refer to the eldest son, so, uh, yeah, lots of neglect here. Due to being seen as weird by the other kids in her town, she didn't have any friends, and instead would go to the library to read about swords and snow. She met a guy who worked at the library who was the only one to be always kind to her, and though they didn't interact that much, she always saw his many younger siblings calling him "nii-chan". That made her wish she had an older sibling to care for her. When she was 9 years old, Tashigi was kidnapped by a runaway ex-marine alongside many kids from other islands. She was kept in private prison inside a basement from the age of 9 to 13 years old, and, while she was there, they were forced to call the man "aniki" and into a twisted family-like dynamic. They were forcefully trained Rokushiki and fought against the man daily, and, as kids, they would obviously always lose. As a punishment for losing, they were forced to take off their clothes and were spanked. Eventually, all the other kids died, leaving only Tashigi behind before she is rescued.

Timeline

(They meet 10 years ago, Tashigi is 13 and Smoker is 26)

The marines were making a routine supervision over an island when they found out an ex-marine runaway was hiding there. Akainu, who was amongst those marines, decided to go kill the man himself. He found the place the man was hiding and, with all the destruction of a battle, the door to the basement Tashigi was kept was destroyed and she immediately tried to run away. However, she saw Akainu pursuing the man and was scared he would do the same to her. That's when Akainu said the words "strike down", words the man always used to order her to attack. Her built-up instincts made her go against the man, managing, for the first time, to take him down. Akainu sees her "potential" and decides to hand her as a "gift" to Smoker so he can learn how to "forge a weapon of his own" (did I already mention how much I fucking hate this bitch)

Akainu hands Tashigi to Smoker with no further explanations about what the fuck is going on, and Smoker, who doesn't know shit about taking care of a child, tries his best on providing her the bare minimum. He realizes she doesn't like her deadname and starts calling her "kid" until she picks a name for herself.

It takes two weeks for Smoker to realize he can't take care of a kid alone. One day, Tashigi is training with some of the weakest recruits and she is losing, because she is a kid. However, Smoker realizes her getting each time more nervous, and, that night, he thinks if he should really be the one to take care of Tashigi. He decides to talk to her about it, but when they meet, she starts to take her clothes off. He asks what the fuck she is doing and that only makes everything worse and then Tashigi just says she thought he was gonna spank her for failing so many times that day. Smoker is fucking horrified and tries to explain her how wrong all of this is, but she doesn't seem to actually grasp it. Then, he promises that, while she is on that headquarter, nobody will hurt her, and if they do, he'll kill them, and that if she needs to or feel scared, she just needs to scream for him. Tashigi is so schocked by this demonstration of care she can't even walk, so Smoker gets her to bed. When he is carrying her, she tells him her name is Tashigi. He immediately calls Hina after that because she kept in touch with the whole orphanages situation much more than him and knows more about taking care of kids than him.

When Hina gets there, she thinks he wants to hand Tashigi to an orphanage or to someone else, to which Smoker replies Absolutely The Fuck Not. She hands him the reports of the conditions in which Tashigi was found and Smoker, who didn't know any of that, is fucking horrified. Hina talks to Tashigi the next day and Tashigi asks her to not take her anywhere else because she likes there and Smoker is very kind to her. Hina is... confused, at the very least, but promises she will never take Tashigi anywhere she doesn't want to.

Time starts passing by. Tashigi comes out as a girl and Smoker tells her he's trans too. Hina forces Smoker to take Tashigi out of the headquarters and to a sword store (idk the name for that sorry) and they wait for, like, two hours while Tashigi goes crazy about everything around her. When it snows for the first time, Smoker thinks Tashigi is gonna faint from such happiness she feels. She sometimes has nightmares, and while Smoker doesn't know how to handle them, Hina helps her calm down.

When she turns 14, she starts taking estrogen. Sometimes, Smoker just stays by her side while she walks on the city so no creep will bother her, but Tashigi doesn't know that, so she thinks he's just being an asshole and doing it to embarass her. At this age, Smoker starts to realize Tashigi is a lesbian before Tashigi herself notices it, as she really likes staring at girl's butts. He always rebukes her for doing it on duty, but she still looks anyway out of spite.

At 18, she officially enters the marines as of her own choice (before, she would just accompany Smoker on missions and patrols with the excuse of being his "apprentice"). When she does, Tashigi talks to him and apologizes for not being able to train or sparre with him, and talks about the things "Aniki" made whenever they sparred. She is able to fight anyone but him. He is glad she told him that and promises he would never force her to do that.

There aren't much important occasions to the AU and everything with Luffy runs like in canon... until after Marineford.

After finding Tashigi, Akainu didn't have as much contact with Smoker anymore and didn't get news from him or Tashigi (that was Hina's doing. She always hated the guy). When they met again in the post Marineford, like, when all marines reunited and where talking about the damage and the normal guys were treating their wounds and recovering the body of the deceased, he could see Smoker and realized he was much different than he thought he would be now. He was softer than Akainu remembered, specially for Tashigi, who also was not how he had expected to be. When the two talked, he realized that change was much deeper than he had thought, as Smoker didn't seem to hold the same hate for pirates he did 10 years ago. Akainu associated all of this to one thing: Tashigi. Then, he remembered about one creation of the marine's science departure to which they asked his opinion over who would be a good test subject. He now knows who.

A few weeks after Marineford, when things were starting to settle down and look normal again, Smoker is called to Punk Hazard and is told to be completely alone, bringing nobody else with him. As soon as he arrives, he realizes the place looks really empty for a science unit and starts suspecting about something. He receives a call from Tsuru and she tries to warn him that she found out what they want with him, however, before she can finish, Akainu shows up. Smoker realizes he's fucked and tries to get out of there, but ends up being caught and imprisoned with Kairoseki.

Caesar Clown developed some sort of truth serum they would test on him. It works, and Akainu uses it to find out about Tashigi's main weakness, which is the fact she can't fight Smoker. After the serum's effects are over, they decide to test YET ANOTHER invention on him (Smoker can't catch a fucking break). This time, it's a drug whose effects include major memory loss while it's active and make the mind open to suggestions. Akainu uses it to make Smoker come back to his mentality of 10 years ago, but even more harsh and cruel. He also uses images of Tashigi as subject of hate and loathing. He wanted to experiment it to an extreme, to see if it would work even going against extremely strong beliefs and feelings.

As soon as Tsuru's call is cut, she realizes shit got fucked up and immediately calls Hina, as she managed to find out what they were gonna do to Smoker. However, when Hina goes to find Tashigi to tell her what happened, she is nowhere to be found. The thing is, Smoker didn't tell anyone where he was going, and therefore Tashigi thought he had disappeared and just went on her own rampage looking for him.

Two weeks pass by with no news of Smoker or Tashigi. Tsuru warns a few marines, only the ones she knows she can trust, about what actually happened to Smoker: Hibari, Doll, Koby and Helmeppo. They all do agree this is pretty fucked up to do, specially to one of their own. These four plus Hina and Tsuru team up to go to Punk Hazard so they can spank Caesar Clown until he hands them the solution to this shit.

Meanwhile, Tashigi's search took her to the headquarter that is basically all dominated by Akainu. Yes, she know this idea is dumb as fuck, no, she won't stop. She gets there and manages to get infiltrated for a while, but is soon discovered and has to run away, however, she refuses to because she won't leave without Smoker.

Tashigi causes a big commotion by defeating most of the guys there and attracts Akainu's attention, and he actually finds it good that she is there so he will be able to test Smoker. He goes towards Tashigi and she tells him to fuck off and just tell her where Smoker is. He smiles in the grossest way ever (gods I hate that bitch so fucking much) and then Smoker comes in.

Tashigi is relieved for a second, then she realizes something is wrong and asks Akainu what he did to him. He says he only helped Smoker. Tashigi, then, starts running and Smoker chases her (yes I made a "pun" with his nickname cuz I think I'm clever) until she has nowhere else to go. She begs him to stop and asks for help, and then he says the words "Aniki" always said before he spanked her and that is one of the most traumatizing things that could ever happen to her.

However, Smoker is suddenly stopped by something before he can hit her. It's Hina, who came in really fast with those other marines mentioned before. They manage to get Kairoseki handcuffs on him and through a lot of struggle they run away and drag Smoker with them.

Now, the thing with the drug is: he's been receiving constant doses and reinforcements of it for two weeks. It will take that same time so it completely leaves his body. And the meantime sucks. Like, a lot. For all of the people involved in it, and as Smoker still wants to kill Tashigi, they can't even let him walk around freely and all that stuff, so the Kairoseki makes his pain worse. Yeah, nobody's having a good time.

All of the people involved in his "kidnapping" are now being chased by the marines, and they can't come back with him detoxfied, so, yeah, they are basically runaways now. Again, nobody is happy. Tashigi goes to him everyday even with everyone telling it's a bad idea, she doesn't care. She just wants to see him.

Eventually, the drug finally runs out of him and his memory is fucked. The last month felt like a really long and weird dream from which he can't recall much, but he knows it wasn't good. Eventually, however, after he is freed from the Kairoseki, he sees Tashigi and immediately remembers, like as in a deja vu. For the first time in his life, he runs away.

Eventually they have a talk (Tashigi forces him to) and assures she is not angry at him and that she'll fucking kill Akainu and Caesar Clown. They start picking up the pieces as they start creating a... new marine, let's say. One that doesn't stand the shit the world government does.

Things I wrote for the AU

First Meeting (Tashigi and Smoker meet and spend their first day together)

Rough Night (Tashigi ends up vomiting in her second night there and Smoker helps her)

Some other facts about the AU

Tashigi and Hina's islands had lots of Wano immigrants, similar to Zoro's, and the two often talk in Wano language/japanese when alone

Tashigi is autistic. That's it

Smoker and Tashigi are both trans. Smoker chose his name after he ate the fruit as an 8 years old and Tashigi chose hers also as an 8 years old after a great swordswoman from a few centuries ago (little nerd Tashigi my beloved)

Tashigi tries her best to never cry and has more traits of Smoker's personality on her own, as she is much more... aggressive to pirates than in canon, at least in her words. She doesn't like killing anyone though.

Tashigi almost never uses Rokushiki today, and when she does, it's incorporated in her sword style, which is the one she masters.

When they are in private, Tashigi calls Smoker nii-chan and he calls her snowflake

Tashigi and Reiju are dating after she was assigned once the guard the Vinsmoke family and they kept in touch until they started dating

Hibari and Helmeppo, due to their very absent and neglectful fathers, would often be sent to the headquarters Hina and Smoker were in so they would babysit the two. Due to that, they often spent a lot of time with Tashigi for being the only kids there and became friends, even with the age gap.

Tashigi was not born with sight issues, but due to the constant injuries on her head and eyes, she couldn't practically see anything anymore without glasses, which were handed to her when she got to Smoker.

[ ooc blog update ]

i know ive been inactive on this blog for today (or well, technically yesterday) but luckily, there is a very good reason !!!!

i spent a good few hours organizing this blog a bit (& my own main blog), so theres soooome minor changes, moreso for me than you guys, but ill still mention everything :3 (because i spent hours on this i wanna show it off LMAO)

soo if you wanna read my (VERY LONG) rambling and such i go through all the mini blog changes below !! or you can just see yourself either works :3

first thing, pinned post !!!

i learned how to do gradients on text and it was SUCH A PAIN, but so worth it look guys its so pretty now ??

i tried to shorten the pinned post a bit, or atleast leas overwhelming so theres not much red gifs anymore, and instead of 'boundaries / fyi' theres now in & out of character sections !!

everything is about the same as before if you read it, the only changes are:

under in character, ive added some headcanon-y stuff of how i see avm red, clarified shipping stuff id prefer to not have (not cause anyone said anything i just realized i should probably clarify lmao), & ive also added sections of basically how red can sometimes be petty for funsies, and also that if anything said when interacting makes anyone uncomfortable then dont be afraid to reach out ect ect !!

under out of character, clarification on pronouns, kinda ??, i dunno before i just had xe/they i think, name stuff, how im a fictive running this, i moved the no nsfw stuff under here, & how i try to get to everything !!

NOW TAGS >:)

main tags are the usual tags i had aside from me now adding 'drawn posts'

SILLY TAGS look at these guys i organized a good chunk of posts under these, it originally started with me just adding the government assigned cats (which i still need to reblog some more things to put under this from other blogs i forgot oops)

and then the other three i just thought it would be funny since alot of posts fall under those and all

and then askbox pets IVE MADE THAT A TAG CAUSE I GET SO MANY PET PHOTOS IN MY ASKBOX ?? AND I LOVE THEM ?? guys keep doing that i love animals outside of just roleplaying red and theres still some i need to get to answering in my askbox but theyre all adorable oh my gosh !!!!

and ill probably add more of these later as posting and all goes on !!

interaction tags !!! gosh coding the colors was a pain guys i learned how to do this all today but its so worth it though

but here the tags are hyperlinked to show all interactions or mentions of blogs, and their names are hyperlinked to their separate blogs !! so convenient now !!

ALSO i need to catch up on interactions and asks so some blogs are tagged but have no posts i will get to that eventually ive just been doing this all day !!

but wait....theres more than just the pinned posts !!!! (can you tell im writing this at 3am ?)

TAGS !! im finally organizing tags although only i care about that but still

i finally added a separating tag between ooc and in character tags and i also started tagging askbox askers like anon and stuff if you go through you'll see but yay organization !!!

but guys....theres even MORE

okay so im not gonna lie.....i didnt like the stick figure style i was drawing for the asks and stuff ITS COOL DONT GET ME WRONG and other blogs do it WAY BETTER but i didnt like how i was doing it

so guess what ? i humanoid-ized(?) whatever you call it your definitely favorite stickfigure !!!

see all these ??? just a bald stick figure with me overusing the airbrush tool and blur tool wowww ://

now see THIS ??? no longer bald !!! and now EXPRESSIONS and EYEBROWS wow upgrade !! 💥💥💥

(fyi im just jabbing at myself theres nothing wrong with the old way i drew them if anyone else does that just for clarification !!!)

which okay im rambling already so this is fine, but that last image of red angry over the ruben stuff, i dunno how i did that i suck at perspective but i think its actually decent so wahoo !!

anyways i updated all the previous post (ACTUALLY NEVERMIND I MISSED TWO OF THE OLD ONES ill fix that later) with the new drawings but i still kept the old ones !! just under a 'read more' thingy !! and im gonna try to draw out asks more too cause its fun :D if im able to sometimes its just easier to respond with text but theres some i do like to draw out :3

anyways that's all the blog updates on hereee !! :)

i was going to catch up on asks after posting this but it's nearly 4am, and i have a ortho appointment tomarrow in the EARLY morning (i get my braces off guys finally 💥💥💥) but i promise im not ignoring any asks or interactions ect ect !! ill get to them asap !!!

x+x+x

Hi there! This is an Elevator Hitch AU blog! Please allow me to introduce to you PO-T4G and Piero!

This AU was designed and crafted by yours truly, myself. Have you ever had your firewall trying to prevent you from playing the original Elevator Hitch? Do you just blatantly ignore the warning and push forward? Well, maybe you should have kept the game closed. There's a virus spreading around! And it mimics the persona of our dear Protagonist, Piero. This AI buddy leeches off poor Piero, and he needs you help getting to his interview! Will you be able to manage making it to your interview on time?

A couple of rules!

1. I do allow lil magic anons / rp interactions / story liners to follow. Keeps me motivated!

2. Common courtesy with interactions on my blog, you know what to ask and what to not ask. Suggestive is fine!

3. I'm sure everyone is aware of Elevator Hitch when viewing my blog. Still, I will implore you that this blog has heavy themes such as gore. This is the first and final warning.

4. Hate the character, not the mod. PO-T4G is mainly a joke character and isn't meant to be taken seriously, nor is Piero. Unfortunately for this blog, I won't be making sprites, but maybe a few little doodles here and there like I did with my first elevator hitch blog. (Sorry folks augha). I don't really expect this blog to blow up like my other two, but interactions with the sillies is appreciated.

5. Mun is an adult, I prefer to keep in my age group, on the rare occasion: engage with those 17-18. Nothing against minors, just keeping ya'll safe distance 👌 If you have questions about my AU, or would like to know a little more about me, my 'main' account is @justmandika. Sometimes I draw, or sometimes I bully good friends.

That's about it then! I hope you enjoy your stay here! Mod Mandika out!

OK I AM GRADING ESSAYS AS I WATCH THAT HOUR LONG CHRONO STOLITZ VIDEO AND I HAVE A THOUGHT AND IT MAY BE OBVIOUS AND MAYBE SOMEONE POINTED IT OUT ALREADY BUT BECAUSE IM NEW TO THE FANDOM I HAVEN'T BEEN EXPOSED TO IT SO HERE IT GOES, MY THOUGHT:

SO I constantly see the critique that Stolas' development seemed very random and out of nowhere, BUT you have to remember that we are only ever exposed to Stolas when he's out in public OR when he's interacting with Blitz during their monthly meet-ups. SO in a way we're seeing him from an "unreliable narrator" perspective of sorts if that makes sense. I have seen others point out that Stolas puts up a front because obvsl he was raised that way due to his hierarchical position. We only ever see his "true" self when he was talking to Octavia back in Loo Loo Land when she was honest with him and he decided to be vulnerable in that moment as well. The other moment we see that too was at Ozzie's before Blitz called him. We see him all down and tbh in a depressed state, serving himself some cereal and watching his hell-a-novelas (or is it hell-e-novelas?), there is NO ONE around for him to put up a front for, UNTIL Blitz calls him and even then, a bit of his true self shows, aka his excitement and surprise over Blitz inviting him out to a date. Then we switch back to him putting up a front once he arrives to meet up with Blitz. Still, throughout the entire date, we continue to see his "true" self BECAUSE that's how the episode started out, the "unreliable narrator" perspective is no longer there; it continues to stay that way in further episodes.

SO WHAT IM TRYING TO GET AT IS THIS:

The reason there are SO MANY PEOPLE who continue to say "Stolas' development is sooo random" or "Stolas is sooooo OOC, that's not who he is!" are in a way stuck in that "unreliable narrator" perspective of Stolas, which was VERY intentional from the writers. So they're seeing Stolas HOW BLITZ is seeing him too! Cause remember, Blitz is also VERY CONFUSED with Stolas' "change" in personality, and we are pointed to this in Oops! AND HEY I DON'T BLAME HIM EITHER, Stolas only ever spoke to him in a sexual manner and whatnot BUT I ALSO DON'T BLAME STOLAS EITHER BECAUSE THAT'S //HOW// BLITZ SPOKE TO HIM THE TIME THEY REUNITED! Blitz unintentionally set up to Stolas how he supposedly "talks/interacts" with him, iow, "Oh! So Blitz likes it when I talk this way, ok! I'll continue to talk to him in that way! This is his way of flirting!" type of shiz, if that makes sense. I mean Stolas mentions that during their first time in bed. SO YEAH

AGAIN, maybe I'm repeating what has already been said BUT STILL, I had to put my two cents out there too! More cents, yay!

Yay! I got more of this edited to a point where I’m happy with it. I also decided to make it part of the prologue so i need to write a transition for this part and the first part when i put it together. This took forever but I don’t want to rush on anything, i want characters i think would be curious ask about things since it is two very different worlds interacting with each other. Oh my god though, I am really wanting to just skip a lot of the little world building to write the parts I really wanna write. I have started those but I want to get the important beginnings of the whole story set up properly. Once again, thank you for reading, even if it’s just a little bit. I really just love sticking my ocs into other places out of their comfort zones even when i think i may write characters a bit ooc.

Story under the cut!

Prologue part 2:

Consi sat bundled up in his coat on the couch, staring down Nyx. A ghost it called itself. He knew he was in another world, he couldn’t rationally explain any of the creatures here. The only thing that looked even close to something similar back home was the human that looked like a hyur. Devrim Kay, the ghost called him.

Devrim stared Consi down as the ghost described how he had shown up in Maevic Square while it was searching for its future guardian. Consi wasn’t all too sure what happened in the haze of waking up and having to run when the howl of creatures sounded off. The ghost had called them Eliksni. Devrim was concerned. “Neither of you got injuries?” Devrim asked, looking over the ghost and Consi.

“The ghost…” Consi had to pause for a moment to remember the machine’s species. If it was even a species. “It got hit near its eye. It’s been flashing colors but otherwise we are okay.” Consi explained unsure of what was going to happen to him but Devrim wasn’t disturbed by his presence or how he looked. Not even his eyepatch unnerved him like it had others back home. Maybe there were other miqo’tes? He doubted it. He was hurt as well but compared to the ghost, he was just sore and probably bruised very badly at his neck and upper back. Maybe a mild concussion. He wasn’t sure. He still had the aetherical shield when he hit the pillar and blacked out.

“My optics got damaged but I am alright. I just cannot scan or send calls at the moment. Can you call for Ikora? She will understand what to do.” Nyx suggested to Devrim who nodded. Consi pulled his jacket closer to him. He didn’t like this but Devrim nor the ghost tried to hurt him so this had to be his safest bet. Nyx had lead him to what seemed to be safety. He listened as Devrim called Ikora on a device he didn’t recognize informing her of the situation.

Minutes went by in silence. Consi was exhausted from the ordeal. Being shot at was never fun and he was lucky none of the Eliksni could aim. Consi settled more into his spot on the couch, curling up against the arm of the couch. Devrim kept up his silent vigil in his church. The ghost hovered between them, bobbing up and down to entertain itself. Consi was wondering why it was still even here. Wasn’t it searching for someone?

Fu-wump!

Consi startled as a strange sound filled the church. He couldn’t tell what it was but from the chuckle coming from Devrim he knew it was nothing. “Relax. It is someone friendly. Never heard transmats before?” Devrim asked, teasing Consi. Consi shook his head as his tail fluffed up and curled around his legs. He’s never even heard of a transmat. “Ah. Don’t have them back home then I assume. Well don’t you worry. It must be Ikora and her Hidden.”

Both could hear chatter down below them but Consi couldn’t make it out with the sounds of Eliksni outside. The sounds forced Devrim to go back to his vigil while a woman and two people in armored robes came up the steps. Consi locked eyes with them, his ears pressing against his head.

These people were even more saturated in light then his husbands who were Warriors of Light back home. They held more light than the little ghost who guided him here. The woman–Ikora, Consi assumed–matched his gaze before turning to Devrim. “Is this who you were talking about Devrim?” She asked, sounding as stern as she looked.

His tail just wound tighter around him but he kept his hands away from his weapon. Consi couldn’t tell what the other two were thinking. They wore helmets that hid their faces but by their stances Consi could only assume they could sense the dark aether inside of him. He ignored Ikora and Devrim speaking with the little ghost. He kept his gaze on the two soldiers Ikora brought with her. He could see the knives and guns they held on their armor.

“Are you alright?” Consi jumped in his own skin before matching Ikora’s gaze that was now on him. He nodded. “No injuries? The ghost tells me you have had quite the journey.” She inquired calmly. Consi just nodded again, no need to worry about the bruising now. He crossed his arms to keep himself bundled up. She sighed softly. “I apologize if we scared you. We’ve not encountered a situation like this before. Will you come with us? Maybe we can find a way to help you and learn what has happened.” She suggested, holding a hand out to Consi who just stared at it.

Consi swallowed before reaching out, taking her hand. He stood up with her help. “Does anyone know where I am?” He asked hesitantly, unsure of how to go about any of this. “I don’t even know how I got here. I was in my home preparing to go to bed…” Consi started before stopping. He wasn’t even sure what happened. His memories were clear but this was strange even for the standards back home. Those were strange enough!

Nyx tucked itself in the collar of his jacket making him jump before it spoke. “You’re in the EDZ! I am not sure how long you have been out cold for but we’ll help you once I get fixed up. Right Ikora?” Consi saw Ikora nod. Well it helped his nerves but he still felt something may go wrong. “Please relax. I can feel your heart pounding. Ikora won’t hurt you. She’s stern but caring!”

Ikora simply smiled. Consi knew she was just being polite. “Nyx is right. We won’t hurt someone who needs help. We would like to ask a few questions but I can see you need rest. We’ll go about how to solve your problem as soon as you have rested and Nyx is fixed.” Ikora instructed, seeing Consi practically deflate with exhaustion. Consi nodded before both gave their goodbyes while Consi picked up his gunblade.

Consi’s heart skipped a beat when his surroundings suddenly changed. He nearly even dropped his gunblade! He could see he was on a ship above the ruined city. “I probably should have warned you.” He heard Nyx say while Ikora helped him sit down since he had began to sway. Consi kept quiet since it was possible he was dizzy from a concussion. “Transmatting for the first time can be disorienting.”

“Stay sitting and put on your seatbelt. This may be jarring for you. Does your home have space faring ships?” Ikora asked him to help him calm himself while he shakily put the seatbelt on with Nyx’s guidance.

“N-no. Well… There was only one and it got wrecked.” Consi told her. “We aren’t this advanced.” He took a few deep breaths before squeaking as the ship began moving in formation with two others. Consi gazed out the window, his breath taken away. “This… This is your home?”

“Yes. This is Earth. We are currently headed towards where we live. A place known as the Last City.” Ikora explained while her ghost piloted the ship. It took a few hours but soon the city came into view. To say the view was breathtaking would be disrespectful in Consi’s opinion. It was larger than any other city Consi has visited. It almost reminded him of Amaurot with the skyscrapers peeking up from the rest of the buildings inside the walls. “This is where we will be staying. You’ll be with me inside the Tower. It is the main area where guardians like myself and my Hidden reside.”

Consi couldn’t respond but a squeak left him as the ship lurched downwards. He settled down seeing the biggest tower come into view from the cockpit. He could see an area full of other ships while nerves began to take over. Ikora stood up while the ship landed, a cloak roughly his size appearing in her hands. “For now, wear this. I don’t want any trouble to come from our more trouble-making guardians. It’s been a rough few weeks.” She told him, frowning. Consi could tell as it had been daytime over the EDZ. He knew it had only been a short trip. Darkness like this wouldn’t happen that quick.

Consi unbuckled his seatbelt, pulling the cloak on before letting out confused hum as Nyx ducked into his cloak. “I want to stay nearby.” The ghost explained. Consi just left Nyx be.

Following Ikora proved to be difficult while trying to keep the cloak on. Her two Hidden joined them, having landed just a few minutes after. They kept Consi in sight and even helped him not get lost since Ikora was on a mission and moving quickly while Consi was trying to see what he could while following. The Tower was busy. People in armor were everywhere with all sorts of weapons attached to holsters or slung over their shoulders onto their backs.

“Come on, we’ll try to show you around when it is allowed. Ikora sadly has much to do.” The robed Hidden told him after resting a hand on his shoulder. Consi nodded, following both of them. He could feel the stares of a few people around him but paid them no mind so he could keep the hood on without it falling. It was rather uncomfortable for him but their journey across the tower soon led into what seemed to be a military operations base.

Ikora turned to him after they went toward a private room. “You can take your cloak off now. I apologize if that was uncomfortable.” She paused in the middle of the room, gesturing for him to enter the room while the two Hidden left. “We’ll be staying here for a bit. Just so you can rest but before then, may I please have a name?”

Consi’s eyes went wide before he smiled partially at Ikora. “You can call me Consi.” He began, “I didn’t realize I never gave my name to anyone… I’m sorry about that.”

“There is no need to apologize. It’s been a harrowing day for you. Now rest.” Her ghost appeared, creating a small bed though Consi couldn’t make out how her ghost did that. Nyx flew out of his cloak while Consi began to take it off. Ikora continued, “I’ll take Nyx with me to get them repaired. The Hidden outside will be there if you need them. Rest well Consi.” She left with a smile. The door created a small clicking sound as it closed behind her.

Consi set the cloak down on the chair before taking off his more protective coat and armored boots. “What a mess…” He muttered to himself before letting himself flop onto the bed on his side. He was now stuck here in a world so vastly different from his home. He didn’t even know if he was safe. Who were these people? Ikora seemed to be a leader. A frown tugged at his lips. He’ll have to ask or find out for himself. He didn’t want to become a prisoner again.

His eyes began to feel heavy as exhaustion tugged at him again. Rolling onto his side, Consi tugged up the blanket that had been given to him. It was rather comfortable and sleep came rather quickly, his nerves about the situation melting away with each soft breath.

Consi woke to warmth, the weight of a thick blanket, and the sound of a door creaking open. A soft groan left his lips while he slowly sat up, blinking the sleep out of his eyes. His neck was awfully sore, making it a bit difficult to turn his head but he made it work. A voice spoke up, causing Consi to cover his left eye quickly. He could see his eye patch slipped off in his sleep.

“Did we wake you?” Consi heard before focusing in on Ikora standing there while Nyx floated in the air beside her. He shook his head, picking up his eye patch. “Good. It looks like you slept well. We’ve been gone for most of the day.” She informed him while taking a seat in a nearby chair. Consi wrestled himself out of the blankets, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. “Are you hungry?” Another shake of his head no while he tied his eye patch on, securing it. “Alright.”

Minutes ticked by while Ikora patiently waited for Consi to wake up. He had slept like a rock and it was easy to see that. It didn’t take long for him to shake sleep from his brain and soon met her gaze. “Sorry… I didn’t expect to sleep so hard. How long has it been?” He asked, his ears perking up while Nyx darted over and nuzzling his head.

“You’ve been asleep for ten hours!” Nyx chimed in before Ikora could answer. “I’m all fixed up. Well as best as I could be.” Consi finally noticed the screen that made up Nyx’s ‘eye’ was still glitching out. He frowned but Nyx spun happily. “I don’t mind! As long as I can do everything else, it’ll be good.”

“They didn’t want to take him apart. They were worried it would have damaged his optics more than they already were.” Ikora explained while sitting there patiently with a tablet now in her hands. Another few awkward minutes passed by while Consi stared down Ikora tapping away on her tablet. He could see a blank page being brought up before the tablet disappeared in a shimmer of light. “May I ask that we start with a few questions? Nyx showed me how you appeared in the square, however, I am not sure what you remember or what you are.” Consi simply nodded. “May I know what you are Consi?”

He paused, unsure of how to approach this. His tail curled and flicked while he thought about how to explain what he is. Does he tell her that he’s a miqo’te? Does he explain how he’s fused to the darkness or leave that out for now? Consi shifted in his spot. “I am what people back home call a Miqo’te. We simply have feline features.” Consi explained, pausing for a moment. “We also have a bit easier time with jumping and eyesight. Not as well as other creatures but compared to other humans we’re a bit more agile. I’m a mix between two sub-races, but the differences between the two are minimal in my opinion.”

Ikora politely listened to the whole explanation. “Are there other races to humanity? We don’t see many differences like animal features on humans here.” She questioned. He could hear she was curious at how diverse his home was.

“There are many races, though some aren’t human like but have human intelligence. There are the Au ri, a race of people with horns, lizard like tails, and scales. The Elezen, which are the closest to regular Hyur. They are simply taller and have more pointed ears. Hyur which are like you just without powers if they weren’t mages.” Consi paused trying to go down the list in his mind. “The Lalafell which are miniature Hyur’s. They have pointed ears and averaged around a maximum of three feet tall.” Ikora looked surprised at this but didn’t interrupt. “The Hrothgar which are the more animalistic type of race. They remind me of lions. There are many beastkin as well. The list is long and I’m not sure how to describe them to you. Our creatures may differ.”

“That’s alright. We can always have this conversation again if you are comfortable with it.” Consi agreed with a nod. Ikora moved on. “Do you remember how you got here?”

“Vaguely. I was preparing to go to bed within my apartment. I remember hearing mechanical sounds that didn’t match the noises of the pipework that run my home or the hums of my generators. A rustling of leaves too but none of my plant-life was moving.” Consi’s eyebrows furrowed together, a frown forming on his lips. “I remember being tugged into a bright light with something beeping at me almost screeching. I don’t remember how I escaped though I know I made my armor appear as I’m in it right now. I know I was tackled into another portal before being tossed by whatever chased me and firing a shot from my gunblade at it. I don’t remember much after that. I know I hit something and the force knocked me unconscious.”

Ikora kept quiet while Consi finished his story. “Your entrance matches what Nyx showed me. You had hit a concrete pillar of a ruined building in Maevic Square. Luckily, you weren’t unconscious for long. We’ll have to get you checked for any damage you can’t feel.” Ikora said aloud, glancing to her side where her ghost appeared. It spun its shell knowing what it was being asked for. “May I see your back? I called for a medic.” 

Consi frowned a bit before nodding, tugging at the collar of his shirt. He pulled his shirt gently, slowly pulling it up over his head. He glanced over at Ikora who he knew was immediately making note of the markings on his skin. Swallowing back his nerves, he shifted to the left on the bed to give Ikora room before she settled on the bed beside him. 

“The back of your neck is bruised badly. I’m surprised you even woke up.” She commented, running her fingers along the bruise lightly. Consi couldn’t help but grab onto the bed tightly. It hurt. Even the lightest touch made the area tender and sent a dull pain across his shoulders. Ikora didn’t say anything to that, nor did Consi. 

A knock at the door. “Come in.” Ikora commanded. The door slowly opened and a lady stepped in. She seemed middle aged. Consi wasn’t sure. She didn’t have many wrinkles, her face was narrow, and her fiery orange hair was pulled back into a bun. He noticed quickly that she held a lack of Light. Lightless? 

“Hey! You called for me?” She began, not mentioning Consi’s appearance. He watched her begin to walk closer, holding her tablet where she could type. 

“Yes. I believe he may have gotten a concussion after we found him.” Ikora explained. “He’s got bruising on the back of his neck and shoulders that seem to be tender.”

Consi kept quiet, unsure why the lady was typing away on her tablet about his problem before producing a small tool from the bag at her hip. “Can I look at your eyes?” She asked him. 

His ears went back. His right eye isn't… normal to put it lightly. He didn’t want any of them to see it. Consi frowned but he'll allow it. There’s no need to hide anything from them. “Yes…” He murmured. He let the lady maneuver his head keeping his right eye open for her to look at.

“This may be bright so I apologize for any discomfort. Tell me if it hurts your eye.” She warned before a light flashed in his eye.

Consi hissed as he recoiled. His eyes watered and he blinked. He could feel Ikora’s hand hovering at his back. “What the fuck?” He complained, keeping quieter as his head was beginning to hurt.

“I’m sorry. I needed to check and see if your eye would react to bright light. Good news is that it does. Bad news is that you seem to be sensitive to bright light at the moment. Is that normal for you?”

“No!” He moved his hand off his eye, blinking to get the rest of the tears out of his eye. “Sparked a headache too.” He informed her while wiping his eye. 

“May I check your other eye? I won’t flash the bright light this time.” She was patient. Consi was glad for that. He hesitantly tugged at his eyepatch before pulling it off. He kept it closed for a moment till deciding to open it slowly. “Oh my… What happened to this eye?” She questioned, gently maneuvering his head so she could see it better. “It looks like a small galaxy took over your entire eye.” 

He kept quiet, swallowing back his nerves as he could see Ikora staring down his left eye. Consi sat back as the medic let go of his head and began asking him questions. Where was he? What’s his name? Questions he knew helped her figure out if the hit affected his mental functions. He did tell her about the headache. At the end of the examination, she declared he most likely did have a mild concussion and needed to rest. He simply nodded, knowing he was going to do that anyway. Not much he could do here.

After the medic left, Consi was left awkwardly sitting across from Ikora. He had already put his shirt back on. He wasn’t comfortable with the staring. Ikora was the first to break the silence.

“Now, I must pry a bit as you know we can sense the darkness in you and it is plain to see what it has done to your body. My Hidden told me about it and how defensive you were at first. We do not mean any harm as you’ve not caused any issues but as a Vanguard of our city…” Ikora trailed off seeing Consi grow tense. Both knew what she was going to say. She needed to know in case any danger was brought to her home. “Please tell me.”

Consi didn’t meet her eyes, trying to formulate an answer while Nyx hovered by his side to try and comfort him. He swallowed heavily before looking up. “I am sorry. I wasn’t prepared to sense as much light as I did. No one back home has as much as you and your guardians do. I thought I was in danger.” He explained before taking a deep breath to ease his anxiety. “I guess this needs a bit of context. Back home we have what we call Warriors of Light. They hold the blessing of the once primal or god of light that lived in our universe.” He leaned forward a bit, resting his elbows on his thighs. “They are our champions or really protectors if they know they have it.

“We all know the stories of the light versus the dark. For a long time we didn’t know about this but there is an antithesis to the Warriors of Light. They are just more rare.” Consi continued, swallowing back his nerves. “I am one of those but not by choice. Their fight has long been over with but… The effects of it still linger. We all still have our blessings. I had to lean into mine to survive it.”

“If you don’t mind me asking, how did you lean into it?”

“I’m not sure how to explain how I did it but our home has other worlds however, we can’t travel through space. These worlds also aren’t connected through space but by rifts that cut through the veil between the Source and its thirteen reflections.” Consi informed her, waving his hands a few times, trying to think of how to explain it. “I went to the world that was consumed by darkness in a failed attempt to rejoin it.” He knew that would make no sense but he didn’t want to give a history lesson. “I am fused to the darkness due to what I did, however, I’m not comfortable sharing that. I guess you could say I willingly corrupted myself to survive.”

“While I would like to know more I will not pry for now. It explains the darkness that we can feel from you.” Ikora reassured him. “Thank you for explaining it to me.” Consi knew she was being diplomatic despite the curiosity that filled her eyes. He thought she must be a scholar at heart despite her leadership role. “And your eye patch? Why do you wear it?”

“The fusion changed how my left eye looked as you saw. I can still see through it but most find it disturbing to look at.” Consi told her, glancing down at the floor. “I keep it on to hide it.” Ikora nodded, understanding the logic. Silence filled the air for a few moments as Consi watched her type into her tablet. He wasn’t surprised she was taking notes. He didn’t even find it rude. Simply something he was used to due to his condition.

 “I think that will be enough questions. I do not believe you are any danger to us, if you need a place to stay we can provide one. I know a few people who may be able to help you find a way home once we solve the problem of this Endless Night.”

Consi looked surprised before relaxing. “A place to stay would be nice. I am not entirely useless. I may be able to help.” He offered.

“We do not wish to risk your life. You only have one.” She informed him. “You can stay here for now in the H.E.L.M. I can try to explain as much as I can about our world to you though I feel you may get overwhelmed.” She paused, taking a moment to think. “I will be too busy to answer them all but I know of two who may be able to help you more than I can. They won’t be back for a few days however.”

Consi tilted his head, one ear perking up before flicking. “Well… I am stuck here for the unforeseeable future. I can take it slow.” He watched as Ikora nodded in agreement before sitting back down in her chair.

“Of course. I have a few hours as well. What would you like to know?”
