❛  i'm here, nothing can harm you.  ❜ // Juuuuuules <3

Jules shuddered. Nightmares. Never ending nightmares. He leaned his head against Violet's shoulder, blinking away the tears that just wouldn't go away.

"... Thank you, Violet. Thank you..."

[menzoberras-archive]

"It is a pity I stopped them fighting," Shi'ndra muses, settling comfortably in front of the fire between them. He can feel its warmth through his boots, and for a moment, considers removing them entirely. He thinks better of it, and turns his attention to Violet. "I would have loved to have seen the outcome of Lae'zel and Shadowheart in a duel to the death. I have not been privvy to one of those in years, as exciting as they are."

STARTER CALL. / ACCEPTING / @persistentflower.

❛  i knew there was a big softie under all that tough exterior.   ❜ // Kotallo

"A big softie," Kotallo repeated skeptically, in a tone that sounded ready to prove otherwise.

The object that earned his softness was a cat, mewling and thin, who was currently rubbing at Kotallo's shin-guards frantically. The Marshal had gifted it with a few shreds of dried meat from his pack, and it looked like it had earned him a friend. Vi would've been able to hear the purring a long ways away.

"Do people not usually... pet them?" He said with his one hand already on the cat's back that had risen to meet it. He seemed like a natural. "I don't need to be soft. The cat is soft."

"I mean, we can just hang out here. I'm sure places are really busy at the moment anyway."

Platonic Valentine's Day Prompts

"Sure sure. Sounds good to me. Honestly, going out and seeing everyone so lovey dovey makes me wanna gag."

Kira is obviously bitter about the whole thing, opening her fridge and pulling out a beer. Offering her friend one in return. They'd met during her residency that she hasn't finished yet. Violet seemed like a nice girl. They hung out from time to time.

"What are they calling it online? 'Gal'entine's Day? I'm surprised you're not out and about. Then again, I guess being a nurse doesn't give you much time to socialize outside of work, does it?"

She sighs, leaning on the small bar in the kitchen. Looking out through the small window at Violet. Popping open her beer can and taking a sip.

"You're welcome to throw something up on the T.V. if you want."

[o-rusted-heart]

“You should see the other one.”

"Well, I'm not lookin' at the other one now, am I? They didn't show up to my place bleedin' all over my carpet."

Any bite to his tone was fairly smoothed out by the way Nick was rushing over to help Violet inside-- over to the couch where she could sit, and he could help tend to her.

Maybe he was exaggerating a little bit, as the old gumshoe tended to do. Wouldn't stop him from fussing. "Sit down-- what happened? Don't tell me you got into another scrap at the Dugout."

[bcneheaded]

@persistentflower said: "I'm putting you on my to-do list."

💬🥀 — It does take the demon a rather embarrassingly long moment for the meaning behind those words to register– whereas he simply stands there, hands behind his back in a formal but comfortable manner (as per his usual), jawless skull canted to the side inquisitively.

But then of course, it DOES register, and for a moment it's probably rather a fortune thing he had no jaw... lest it drop to the floor. "Violet." He breathes as though appalled, leaning back as he regards her with surprise and mild indignation. He wasnt ANGRY or anything, simply... surprised at her. Though perhaps he oughtn't be, really.

Artemis grunts a bit after the initial indignation wears off, equal parts a chuckle and a grumble. "Setting aside the physical impossibility of such a thing..." He regards her woth a glint of thinly veiled, reluctant amusement, not volunteering any elaboration on that at all. "... I've customers about..." he admonishes quietly, leaning in slightly as he does. "...though perhaps I should be flattered to garner such attention from one so fair..." He eyes her silently for a moment before simply shaking his head... then let's out another little amused grunt before continuing on with his meandering about the shop, ensuring he was available lest the customers need his aid.

"──Huh? What bright eyes?"

His attention snapped over to Meryl. His luminescence blue eyes glowed in the pitch dark. It must've give the other quite the scare. But Vash remained oblivious. "Please, Meryl. Let's be realistic here. Eyes can't kill! Sheesh. I don't understand you sometimes."

*  ―  WEREWOLF STARTER PROMPTS .

Is that why she smelled so bad? The only dog he’d ever smelled that was even kind of similar was the one that had died in the alley behind Paddy’s that they had just left for a week, though. “Yeah, dogs are pretty cool.” Charlie scratched his ear. “Cats, too. There’s like a dozen feral cats that like to scream at my apartment window at night… They follow me around sometimes too.”

“You gonna wave a white flag? Or are you gonna get pissed?”

He didn’t know how long she’d been out of the vault. She’d said she left not too long after Amata had been instated as Overseer, but in truth Aaron could not truly remember how long it had been since he had been exiled for the second time.

Years, at least a few.

The blue-robed Elder leaned in to examine the woman, familiarity mixed with authority as he watched the other initiate readying in his side of the ring.

“Get up or give up, Scribe Initiate. I certainly know you have more tenacity than this.”

❝What if I asked you to stay? ❞

"Then I would stay. I owe you that much, don't I?"

His answer is absolute and finite. As though he really didn't have to think on it that much at all. After all, she was going to be the mother of his child, and though they didn't know each other that well, he was still fond of her. At least for now.

"You carry our child, I would not expect you to take on the burden alone. So if you need me here, I would figure something out with... work."

He still calls it 'work'. As though saying it out loud would make it real or she'd figure it out. Then again, was it not obvious? Perhaps they both just didn't want to acknowledge the distaste. Or how the Legion would feel about Cicero having a wife and especially having a son. If it turned out that way.

"Either way-" He shrugs, "Not to worry, I am right here for you as you need me."

Do they have comments on who the Player Character chooses to spend the night with? 

What sort of general actions raise or lower their approval?

Where can your Tav be recruited?  Are they first encountered on the Nautiloid, or in the Nautiloid crash region?  Or are they not recruitable until a later act?

Kira doesn't have a pointed distaste for anyone the PC sleeps with. She has no interest in chastising you for living in the moment and seizing happiness where you can. She will express happiness for you should your relationship be going well and if you make decisions that she thinks will benefit the both of you. I.E. Not letting Astarion ascend, not letting Gale blow himself up, helping Lae'zel reject Vlaakith, etc etc. We build each other up in this camp! And if you get to smooch while doing it, good on you!

Kira likes when you are kind to animals or just talk to them in general. She's also pretty fond of the PC helping others in general. She will also express that she feels pleased that you're using the worms to your advantage. But you won't gain approval for doing so. (At least up until the astral tadpole. Which she is nervous about. And expresses nervousness about. Changing your entire being FOR a being who hasn't been the most forthcoming doesn't sit entirely right with her.)

Kira can be found amongst the druids in the grove. She has interest as a ranger to see what's to become of the grove. And while she can appreciate Kagha's willingness to do whatever it takes to protect and preserve nature, she doesn't believe that this is the way to do it. She's there to try and help talk some sense into her, but Kira isn't exactly the most charismatic or persuasive character. After that, she can be found wherever the travelling group of teiflings from the grove can be found as she usually just tags along with them if you don't recruit her yourself.

Continued from HERE.

Briengr's hand was sore. It was a strange feeling, that soreness.

Perhaps he had felt it before after decapitating one of the witches with his mother’s axe; surely he must have, but he didn’t remember it. And as he snatched at the offered waterskin, the woman (vampire) eyeing him silently—though not so silently as to make her command for him to be a well-behaved patient unclear--Briengr realized that the soreness wasn’t just in his hand but all the way up his arm. Just how hard did he swing his weapon? Had he been so blood-drunk that he was unaware of the strain he placed upon himself?

An uncomfortable pain.

And there was something else, too, something that wasn’t just physical, something that the memories of his former comrades would have mocked. It was a stirring in his chest that he hadn’t been able to define at first and that, after some consideration, he thought must be guilt. Guilt and maybe shame at what he had done to that coven of witches. Briengr had thought he had left the monster he had once been—the monster whose rage had sought blood unending—behind him. Briengr had thought himself scoured of any such uncontrollable feelings that would trigger his inner demons, but then he had seen the bodies of the missing people he’d been sent to track, the coven revealing their true nature when Briengr had exposed their crimes.

His savior must have seen the carnage and devastation those witches had wrought. It was kill or be killed... Kill or be killed.

“Sister,” he greeted, opening his mouth to squeeze the fresh, cool water down his parched throat, embarrassed at having been seen at his worst by a stranger, his own kin. Foolish, he knew, to start caring about what people thought of him now. He was what he was. Perhaps he had been born to it, or maybe he had molded himself into the man he now was over the years, the way a mother shaped her child. In the end, it didn’t matter. He was at the tender mercies of his kin..for now, at least. After gulping down the water, Briengr wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, green eyes sharp on the vampire’s face. “I thank you for saving me, but do not mistake my weariness for weakness. If it’s blood you seek, then go find a milkmaid to fill your belly. I doubt you’d find me a pleasant meal.” He eyed the wolves with ill humor, his full mouth curling into a smirk. "Although I am surprised by your choice of...companions."
