My fashion? It's a strange thought, enough to shake off his embarrassment, and it suddenly occurs to the Copy that there wasn't really any point of comparison they could look to for reference for both sides of the isle, save for his and Crim's armor versus Vile's.

Armor truly being that bulky did align with the few files they'd managed to uncover before. Older reploid design wasn't built to be compared to humans, but they likely also had the materials to spare. He thinks back to the tower behind him, doing his best to hide a grimace. It was best to have Crim come here, then to be closer there.

Although... he can't really see his companion with anything other than the silver hair he'd always had. "...Maybe it's the Mythos. Az-- my mentor," hastily added, for an unwillingness to name drop that person to either party with him yet, "implied that it could affect the physical frame to a degree." Except for Seraph, who only ever seemed to have it strain his core.

He's not really sure where to start though. Despite working to get them both in the same place, was it really his place to ask? Not that he didn't want to know-- just knowing anything about Crimson was...

"...Okay, right, so... the Wars haven't happened yet." Which was about all he knew as far as written history and oral history were concerned. Before that, things kinda had fallen to the wayside, even in what little had managed to survive the archives-- but then again he and Crim hadn't finished going through that trove.

Plus, hard to think of what Crimson would want to know... "Uh... You... said that he was-- is-- your commanding officer. Are you on a unit?" Were there others?

...No. Wait, there was one more. It felt like playing with fire, asking that. "Is... X on your unit...?"

Awkward as the situation is, it's coming from a good place. Seraph is genuinely giving him an olive branch here. This meeting isn't about the Resistance, this isn't about Neo Arcadia, it's just about....

Helping me.

"...I..... see." Oh, right, their company. The Zero turns his attention back to Vile, somewhat struck by the Maverick Hunter. That name, that armor, there is something there, even if all that remains is fragmented data. ...forgot? The purple reploid frowns to himself. Can't imagine what kind of hell you went through for your own memories to be unrecoverable. "Shorter," Vi confirms now that the introductions have passed, and to lift his own spirits. Strange being the metaphorical authority in the room, but nothing he can't handle with an audience of only two. "Course, your old armor was a lot bulkier. Seems you're matching Seraph's fashion these days." A wonder why all the armor was so sleek-- is it sturdier or a lack of materials?

"I'll level with you, you don't look and sound exactly like the Zero I know-- my boss is blonder for one-- but I'm willing to bet you've at least got some things in common." His helmet tilts towards Seraph, as if to make sure it's still alright to proceed.

"I don't suppose either of you had a place you wanted me to start? Seraph here can probably guess from our earlier chat what I haven't.... y'know, done, yet." Sort of? The missing history is going to make it hard to compare notes but surely they could find a mutual event somewhere.

"Psi! Oh dearest brother of mine, do you have a moment?" Truly the sickly-sweet cheerfulness here is the kind only his adopted sibling can see through. "I reaaally need to talk to you about something." [ @overx ]

"Xantiiii," it's the practiced kind of cheer only afforded between siblings; although the other X clearly was deserving of the tone given his own opening to the conversation.

"Oh you know me! All the time in the world, especially to spare for my dearest littlest brother. Just don't ask me to start a fire!"

He blinks rapidly, trying to process the boops.

"I think I started a war between us didn't I?"

Vile: "I wouldn't call it panicking exactly..."

"Most of my friends are not...well....they're not reploids."

mistake, for everyone on the blog <:

oc asks: not-so-nice edition

mistake: What's the worst mistake your OC ever made? What led to them making it? Have they been able to fix it? How have they moved on?

((Rin shouldn't have argued with her parents the night they died. Not only was it distracting to them both, but Rin's last words to her parents were very vitriolic in nature. It was a one-sided, selfish argument, and as she looked back on it years later she realized they were only saying these things to her out of genuine concern. They only wanted the best for her, to be safe and pursue a passion which wouldn't lead her into anything potentially dangerous.

But those fleeting moments where both her parents took their eyes off the road were the last moments Rin ever had to try atoning for her actions. Little Rin was too heated in the moment thinking her parents were going against her own desires. Before Rin realized everything she said and the actions following the impact of the other car, her parents were gone. She couldn't apologize to them for her stupidity, and she'll never get that chance. Rin killed her parents, and it's made her hate herself since that day.))

((The one time KC decided to schedule an interview on her own accord nearly cost the girl's own safety and her family's reputation. It was one of those undercover, hot gossip reporters disguised as a newspaper group. They baited KC into revealing some private information concerning her family's heritage, along with KC's own background. They told her it was for an upcoming show centered around young celebrities and how they came to fame. It would be a feature in their newspaper too, for other young people to read. She was more than happy to provide and tell her story, but in the end the entire interview was used against her.

The family found out via breaking news, and in published magazine articles. They confronted KC about the situation but KC never suspected them to be these kinds of horrible people. From then on, KC wasn't allowed much freedom to roam around public concert halls after their performances, nor could she wander off without a bodyguard by her side.))

((There's been...a handful of mistakes Jayden has made which cost her a lot of horrible consequences, mostly done by her awful, abusive father.

Back when she was still a little kid and attending middle school, she skipped one day because she couldn't bare to get out of her own bed. Her mom was the only one to know about it, and she even called the school that day to say Jayden came down with a cold. Instead of her mom going to work, she stayed with Jayden the whole day. It was nice having a quiet house with just the two of them. No yelling, no screaming, no distant shouting or sounds of things being broken. It was peaceful for once.

But once dad came back home, it turned violent. The school called him, as well, to notify him that his daughter hadn't come into school that day. You can imagine the kind of consequences Jayden received from skimping out on school. On top of the usual verbal abuse, her father grew more physically violent against her. Hair pulling, slapping her face, roughhousing her, all to teach her lesson to never lie about something so serious and to never lie to higher authorities either.))

Is your muse easily flustered? Do they blush, swear, etc.? [[For Serta and Ferris? <: ]]

Vanilla Sunday Meme

12. Is your muse easily flustered? Do they blush, swear, etc.?

For Serta: Already answered!

Ferris can definitely get flustered! Much more easily than Serta can, anyway - she doesn't have his stoic demeanor and is more reactive in certain situations.

However, she doesn't blush easily either. She already fixates on her own stuff like gender identity and the like, so any subject approaching or in spicier territory has her going 'meh' most of the time. She's also ace/demisexual, so she's more resistant to that sort of thing.

She already swears semi-frequently, but piss her off and she'll get very colorful with her insults.

The Masks We Wear || Accepting

Send in ‘Another’s Mask’ to meet a muse from another blog I currently have.

@hallownesthorrors

It's hard to hold the non-insect form that it currently donned, but hopefully it would do forth it for the creature it had decided to lure into the shadows today. The spider mimic just had to be patience and hope they didn't notice the seemingly loose skin on its body.

Closer... Closer... INFECT. KILL. DRAW INTO THE LIGHT. DESTROY. And strike.

The mimic emerges from its shifted form, shell and joints cracking and it lets loose a hiss and roar.

Rearing on its hind legs for only a moment, Nosk spits up some acid and charges, read for its next meal.

[[Shackled -- for Volt? Or maybe Lexi?]]

If he had a leaf for every time he found himself in a demon circle, he'd have two leaves. Which both cases would be a GREAT cause for concern, except the first time Cyrus was NOT the intended sacrifice.

Faint candlelight twinkles at the edges of consciousness, and his first TRUE sight of the circle beneath him is glowing with infernal magics, flecks of red and gold pulsing in time with what could be inferred as a heart beat. I do hope that isn't mine.

The runes underneath him are...the scholar isn't sure if it is the blood loss or the lack of stamina, but does not recognize them as anything Orsterrian in nature. Which means...what, exactly? That this was intended to summon something OTHER than what was known to the Twelve?

Oh dear.

Whoever had captured him knew of how his--or his world's magic functioned, at least. Bound was his mouth and jaw in a tight muzzle, leaving any attempts at an incantation to free himself utterly useless. He could only try to parse whatever magic he could catch from his tied hands, which...ow. Burned. Embers? Fire?

Perhaps the key to his escaped lied in the mysterious runes underneath him. Thus his eyes are glued to the floor, tracing careful geometric shapes written in...ah. Blood. That's not surprising, all things considered...

[not-the-usual-suspects]

Follow up question to the last one -- what are some of the bigger changes for the cast? I noticed you kept a lot of their names, but I'm sure they're not entirely how they used to be!

[man you have some really good questions, lmao! thanks for keeping me on my toes!

as for the character names, they're mostly the same. Sapphyra/Emily is pretty much exactly the same as she was before, the only real change with Rusty is that he's an android now instead of a Machine (but he's still tall, at over six feet)

Alex was also a character from before, and his age is really the only thing that changed, outside of his backstory. same with Zak, as well as the other characters that will cycle in and out as they "visit" the City (aka, when i have the muse for them)

Serenity, on the other hand, outside of any AUs i have with other blogs, has been completely revamped, and now more closely reflects how she is in the story outside of tumblr, so no phoenix powers

other than that, i think the only "new" characters on the blog are Davion, Lucien, and Max, who i'm hoping to delve more into their characters as i work on writing more stuff for them]

♡ for the munday meme!

it is munday! send ‘♡’ for a pointless fact about the mun.

I've had this video series idea on the backburner for some time. I don't wanna just come out and say it just in case someone decides they wanna beat my slow ass to the punch, but I am hoping to actually fucking do it this year.

May elaborate in DMs, we'll see.

@overx behold THE BOYS

Chibi Commissions of this month from ko-fi! thank you very much for commissioning me!

[thegatesofinfinitespace]

"Vile, I have an assignment for you." It's... a grocery list? --- There is a distinct sense of surprise as the Maverick Hunter looks over the notepad, and then back to Dr. Cain. Somehow, he'd assumed when he'd been sent over, that the world famous roboticist was in dire need of expertise specific to the Hunter Organization.

"...right..." who normally handles this kind of thing? Vi wants to ask, but holds his tongue. It's just a little grocery shopping, no big deal. ...............

//Hey, Zain?// The ping isn't out of the ordinary, a fairly innocent from Xanti. //Are you still.... uh, planning to get some stuff for the kitchen today?// Hopefully it isn't too late to message. //Would you mind er, checking on Vi for me while you're out?//

@overx

//Yes, I'm already there.// A reusable grocery bag in hand, already full of ingredients for a simple pasta dish.

It's not out of the ordinary. In the first few seconds to follow while his boyfriend was typing, the blond had the initial assumption Xanti was going to ask him to pick up additional ingredients for dinner, or something he was craving at that very moment.

Instead...

He makes eye contact with a familiar shade of purple, right as the X's message pinged through. //...Just found him.// An incredible scene, really. Zain approaches nonchalantly, reaching past the Hunter for powdered parmesan, but can't help but voice his opinion flatly.

It wasn't like his own unarmored face was a secret. "Why... didn't you come in civvies?"

[galaxofmuses]

Which muse(s) would you to like to have more attention?

Mun Confessions - multimuse style //Accepting!

// Honestly I would love to toss in Rock or any of my ocs more. My FF muses has been sleeping for awhile, but I know I can jump back in with Sora for sure. Other then that, I would love to toss in Rock to meet up different video game universes since he is familiar with alternative timelines for his universe.

In addition, I love my ocs, but man I don't want them to go to waste. I love all of them so much.

[dansevilpianotea]

been feverish for 5 days and everyone is fighting on the dash again. just like this summer. but guess i just have to log off then because thats the way the internet works how cool. theres nothing i can do to feel better mentally here rn. sucks that this safe space really isnt feeling safe sometimes. and that we make each other feel bad. and that we cant do anything about it because the anxiety is taking over every part of our heads and its like no one seems to care if you go under. okay.

[garblixdligzoog]
