@oracle-venus said: ∆ STOP ∆  -  Joshua grabs the Mid’s hand to stop her from going somewhere HAND IN HAND STARTERS | ACCEPTING

Well, maybe Mid has been running around the entire Hideaway, but she's always like this when she has something in mind. There's nothing she wants more than to help Clive and the others. She's proud of the Enterprise, of course, but if she could do even more, she would gladly do it without hesitation.

She raises an eyebrow when Joshua stops her. "What is it ? I need to go back to my workshop soon! It's not that I don't trust the others working with me, but you know... I want to make sure they're doing great!" she exclaims, letting a chuckle escape her mouth. "But come with me, if you want."

@oracle-venus said: ❰❰ HURT ❱❱ Clive is hurt protecting Joshua AN EXTREMELY SELF-INDULGENT MEME | NOT ACCEPTING

It has happened way too quickly: as they are taking a contract together, fighting a behemoth, Clive has jumped between Joshua and the monster, taking the hit instead of him. Well, he would have managed to avoid it. Or maybe he would have gotten hurt, but it's nothing he can't manage.

He sighs. He wants to run toward his brother, but the time hasn't come yet. The monster is still there. "Brother, please... Never do this again!" he requests slightly more harshly than he would have wanted. He can protect Clive, too. He doesn't want his brother to get hurt because of him.

@oracle-venus asked: “ can i ask… what happened? ” (( Kai at Solon ✨️ Meme

The blonde looked at the other, a small smile on Solons face. "Are you sure you want to know?" He asked, moving to sit back, eyes closing to hear the nature around them. He couldn't remember the last time he felt at peace. It felt... felt wrong for him to feel at peace. The scars allowed him to remember. The closeness his counterpart got to him. Days that had followed, cursing his creature for making it happen. The more the haze fell from his eyes, from his mind, the more he found himself cursing the God. Awareness was never good.

"A nasty wolf got to me." Solon said with a light chuckle. "Well almost got me." He corrected and looked at Kai's soft face. "Honestly I was extremely surprised at first. No one has ever gotten that close. Nor have they gotten that close again." He said, as a grin appeared on his face, showing off the foxes nature. "Truly rude of him to leave the marks on me, don't you think?"

@oracle-venus there's a small smile worn upon her pink lips as she takes a sip of her butterbeer. "this is exactly what i needed. a day away from everything just to relax and spend time at hogsmeade. how did you know?" mariette sighs happily, allowing herself to slink back into her chair. "i know eventually we'll have to return to the real world outside these doors eventually, but for now let's just revel in this moment." head tilts to the side, laying on the other parties shoulders. "although, truth be told, i don't think i'll ever want to get leave. i know how ridiculous that sounds and i know we have responsibilities we need to take care of and we mustn't be lazy about it all--" she's stopped herself before she can ramble any further, shoulders shrugging. "but for now this is lovely. thank you."

025, an empty balcony while a party goes on inside. Harry doesn't know how to socialize right, not when he's spent so many years working as an auror and having to look over his back at any waking moment. Being back in the castle was almost like coming home, pushed a bubble of nostalgia into his chest that made it hard to talk - A scrape of shoes against stone catches him and he turns, green eyes landing on a familiar figure, on Neville who made the same transition from the field to teaching years ago.

it wasn't that neville dislike parties—

au contraire, he's found that parties could be quite enjoyable. he remembers being nervous about it before, though. their fourth year, when the yule ball looms. gosh, how he'd sweated over asking hermione to be his date to the ball only to end up being rejected. although that's quite alright, because he should've probably anticipated hermione had other boys who were interested to have her as their date and were much braver ( and quicker! ) than he. it was also quite alright because he'd asked ginny to the ball right after, when she'd found him skulking a little with trevor at their common room, and that- that was a good beginning to an acquaintance as any, because it'd led him to get to know ginny, who was witty and funny and brave, in all the new ways, and 'course, it'd aided their interactions further down the line when things were getting serious with the formation of the DA, and later, when harry, hermione and ron were gone.

either or, after that- or, he supposes, with the war on their doorstep, almost everything else did not seem so daunting - a party, included. in fact, looking back at it now quite thoroughly, he was quite fond of his memories from the yule ball. ginny had made sure he wouldn't be left standing alone at any time throughout the night, so they'd joined in with all the other gryffindors and even the ravenclaws to chat, to dance, to trade pleasant observations with. it'd made neville see the whole affair in a new light : parties are supposed to be about making new friends, even if it's for the night. it's about appreciating the effort the organisers have taken — even if it'd only required a flick of their wand — into making the event splendid, the food delicious, the mood joyous.

still, it could be awful exhausting. that much, neville is willing to admit. which was why he'd tried for an exit — if nothing else, then to simply take a drag in relative peace, although of course, even that idea couldn't be realised that easily, a typical neville longbottom luck. he bears no ill will of course, for as soon as neville sees the figure, his eyes light up. ❛ sorry mate, i didn't know the spot's taken. ❜ he still says, apology marring his face, which had shed itself the chubbiness from his youth. now, the elongated jaw fits him; it complements his long nose, makes his mouth look proportionate than the state it'd been in his teens.

❛ you alright, harry ? ❜

@oracle-venus said: ∆ HEAL ∆   -  Jill treats a wound on the Mid’s hand HAND IN HAND STARTERS | ACCEPTING

It's a very silly accident, of course. MId was working so hard in her workshop, and she was talking with Jill at the same time, which had made her cut herself. It's not a big deal, but Mid lets her friend treat her wound, knowing she won't stop worrying otherwise. Mid appreciates it, though. The Hideaway is the only family she has now, and she doesn't plan to waste it.

"Thanks. I could have done it myself, but it's still very nice of you," she assures, letting a brief chuckle escape her mouth. "But please, Jill, don't forget to take care of yourself, too. You tend to overwork yourself... all of you."

@oracle-venus sent:  “  who  did  this  to  you  ?  ”  ((Scott at Erica)) from this meme

Erica had her eyes closed, hand on her side when she heard Scotts voice, which actually spoked her a little. She had been so focused on trying to heal that she hadn't even heard him come toward her. Currently the tree was a nice spot to be leaning on, even if she was 1000 percent sure it wasn't helping any part of her actual pain. "Don't, don't freak out." She told him, her eyes finally finding his, light gold shimmering through her eyes as she tried to keep the wolf at bay.

"I'm pretty sure there are hunters around, and I just..." Her heart started to beat a bit faster, tears forming. The usual brave face beta was losing the mask she was wearing. If she was in any other state, she'd find it kind of funny that Scott seemed to always be there when she needed help. "Scott, something is happening. I don't think I can heal it by myself." She said, small breaths "Please."

@oracle-venus sent: “ have you come to laugh at me in my miserable state? ”   ((Lydia at Erica)) from this meme

The blonde looked at the redhead, a small huff leaving Erica's lips at Lydia's words. She moved to sit next to Lydia, pressing back against the wall they were using as support. "If I was here to laugh at you, I would make sure there was more of an audience." Erica said, pushing her hair to the side before taking a look at the redhead. "Reminds me of a moment in of the DC comics." She mused. She remembers the panels of Harley Quinn not fighting Black Canary cause she was pregnant and the two just talked.

Leaning her head back against the wall, she closed her eyes. "So, going to tell me what happened?" She asked. "Or will I have to play a guessing game for you to get super annoyed at and then tell me." She said, a small smile on the wolfs face.

16. Favourite trope?

Hurt/comfort will always be one of my favorite one! I love when our characters have meaningful conversations in general. Found family is great, too! I looooove deep, platonic bonds. Angst with happy ending is fun, like writing very sad angst while knowing they will be fine eventually 😂 As for romance, I love slow burn and mutual pining! Friends to lovers, too!

17. Least favourite trope?

Good questions! I tend to think more about what I like to write than to think about what I don't like to write 😂 I don't really like Enemies to lovers I guess ?

18. Are there any AU’s you’d like to explore but haven’t had the chance to yet?

I'd love to explore other possibilities of the game itself! For example, I wonder what would have happened to Joshua if he had stayed at Anabella's side all along, like if he hadn't been there during the Night of Flames. Maybe he wouldn't even know she made his father and his men killed! And also if he reunited with Clive earlier, like if he managed to escape from the Undying or something like that. And meeting with Cid, too! Like what if Cid found him and brought him to the Hideaway before he even met Clive ? So many great and interesting possibilities!

19. Do you listen to music whilst writing? If so, what kind of music?

It depends! Sometimes I don't and sometimes I do, it depends of the kind of thread I'm writing! I have a Joshua playlist with specific songs that I think suit him, so if the mood of the thread fits with one of these songs, I'll probably listen to it while writing it! The kind of music varies a lot!

4. Favourite thing about roleplaying?

I love expanding my characters! I love developing them outside of the game, giving them even more dept than what they already have. If I decide to write them, it's because I love them, so that's only natural haha! Also, I love making friends here! I love discussing our characters and headcanons and building meaningful interactions! And sometimes, we really become friends through this and it means a lot to me. 🥰

5. Least favourite thing about roleplaying?

Mmh... it's not really about roleplaying, but I'm not really fond of call-out posts and negativity. Usually, when it happens, I just stay away from the dash and do my drafts without looking at it. This is a hobby, so I don't want to be stressed by what I'm reading.

6. OTP for your muse?

I'm all on Mid/Joshua! It's funny because when I first played the game, I liked their interactions but there was no big deal about it, but I then I started roleplaying with R and we've developed these two in such a beautiful and natural way ❤ They keep each other grounded and they complete each other in such a wonderful way! They can have so many meaningful conversations just like they can be silly! I love them so, so much! Our interactions are very dear to me, and I feel like they've played a huge part in the way I'm writing Mid, in the way I've developed her. And they have also given me such an amazing friend in the process fsafadg 🥰

7. NOTP for your muse?

Well I wouldn't ship Mid with Cid for obvious reasons and I would also not ship her with any vilain because it's just not my cup of tea!

[insidefantasy]

@oracle-venus gentle hands play with the strands of the others hair, braiding them gently in between her fingers. "is this alright, anne? i heard that having somebody play with your hair can be quite relaxing." mariette's voice is quiet as she speaks, an excited smile worn upon the brunette's face. she had been spending much too much time with ominis and sebastian lately, to the point where at times she almost forgot the joys of having time with other girls. "if it bothers you at all, you can let me know. sometimes i get ahead of myself and i wouldn't want to overwhelm you."

[flamesofrebirths]

" do you want me to come with you? " ((from Jill or Clive !

Joshua wants to tell her yes right away, but maybe it'd be pathetic to show how desperate he is. He feels much stronger when Jill is around; she's his comforting older sister figure, even if they're not related. She seems to always finds the right words to comfort him, and to make him feel better. Sometimes, Joshua wishes he could offer the same in return, but it's complicated. He's so insecure, with all these duties as the Phoenix. These duties he didn't even want in the first place.

"If... If you're not busy with something else, Jill... I think it would be agreeable to have you by my side," Joshua admits, offering her a smile. He's not even sure he will find the right words to tell his mother how he feels, but maybe she will still understand he's not feeling well. Maybe she will try to comfort him. It would be better than feeling pressured.

💤 + ((Joshua falling asleep beside Dion?

💤 to fall asleep on my muse! || Accepting

@oracle-venus || Dion

Dion is almost completely lost inside the pages of his book, unaware of how old the night has grown since he first picked it up. The candle at his side is nearly burnt completely down to it’s wick, casting shadows across the pages that make reading the words all the more difficult. With a sigh, he finds himself gently closing the book and resting a hand atop the cover fondly.

It’s then he feels the feather-light pressure of something – nay, someone, against his shoulder. His eyes carefully trail over to find a mess of dirty blond hair, and then it all clicks in his mind. Joshua. Of course.

His friend had come to take rest with Dion within the past thirty minutes, taking interest in the book over the prince’s shoulder as he read. A smile curls at the edges of Dion’s lips, and he finds himself making ever so careful movements as to not startle Joshua awake.

Greagor knows, the man deserves some peaceful rest.

The candle is blown out with a half-hearted huff, and Dion grabs the blanket that had all but fallen to the floor sometime after Joshua had joined him on the daybed. He spreads it over Joshua the best he can one-handed, and shifts ever so slightly so that his head can rest upon Dion’s chest more comfortably than his shoulder.

“Rest well, Phoenix.”

❛ i’m trying to fix your hair, so hold still. ❜ ((My lydia at erica

@oracle-venus

there's a tenseness throughout her whole body as the ginger-haired female fixes at her hair. erica's first reaction is to push away, to stop the other's fingers from continuing their arranging and rearranging of the tresses of her hair, but she doesn't. it's vulnerable, so vulnerable... every touch, every movement reminding her of when she was weak, reminding her of who she was before she was saved by derek. almost as if it's a cruel reminder to herself that that's something she never wants to feel again. then there's the fact that she would have killed for this before. she would have killed for the other female to have even spoken to her, to have shown her some kindness. much more to have her sit there and play with the locks of her hair, fixing them into something neat. deep breath is taken, head nodding slightly. "i'll allow it, but make it quick." she hisses between her clenched teeth.
