#ro: r. dubois

[of-love-and-starlight-if]

Can you give us facts about your ROs, please?💕💗💖✨

I most certainly can! Please enjoy some small, miscellaneous facts about our dear ROs;

⋆⋆⋆

R. Dubois

R. is ambidextrous and can use both hands with equal skill

Rene (m) has his left ear pierced, and Renee (f) has both of her's done— both of them wear small, blue gems that dangle

they often smell of vanilla and baking, though they themself do not bake

their favourite food is lemon meringue pie, a dessert they don't know how to make— and burned the last time they tried

they're an only child, and was adopted by a same-sex couple (they have two mothers)

M. Ariti

M. is an incredibly sappy individual, they will melt at any kind of romantic action (for example: give them a bunch of flowers, they'll combust)

they often smell of citrus, mostly oranges though sometimes there's a hint of lemon

they're an only child, and don't have the best relationship with their parents

they still sleep with a plushie, a small rabbit simply called "BunBun"

they have their bellybutton pierced, and usually keep a black or silver bar in it

I. Morin

I. has known the MC since they were toddlers, they've often been called the MC's shadow, as they always seem to be there— steady and stoic

they often smell of pine and the forest, an unsurprising fact given their tendency to feed Poprock at the forest's edge

they have a younger sister, who's only six years old— she writes them letters (with help) daily

they are an eerily good liar, though its likely because they're usually quiet— people don't know how they act normally, let alone their tells

their favourite food is plain rice, they'll eat it whenever they want the comfort of home

Qiao Shí

Qiao is one of four, they have two brothers and a sister

given their slightly masc. leaning presentation, Qiao likes to wear dresses and skirts every now and again just to fuck with people

they smell of ozone, a slightly metallic smell

they're always wearing a small shell on a chain, something that they'd acquired when they were ten— they never take it off

they're always carrying around a small rope with beads on, and fiddle with it when they're nervous

[of-love-and-starlight-if]

How would the ROs react if MC came in the room looking worried, took the RO's face in their hands and said "oh no, this isn't good!". When the ROs ask what's wrong, MC says "you haven't met your daily kiss quota yet!! We gotta fix that!" then peppers the RO's face with smooches

oh i love it, dorky stuff like this brings me unholy amounts of joy

also; me @ cypher at random intervals, but there's no verbal warning lmao

I. Morin

The concern on their features would melt into a fond exasperation almost immediately as they scoop you into their arms— allowing you to do as you please. They'll get you back later, their arms snaking around your waist from behind as they shower your neck and head with kisses.

R. Dubois

A choked laugh spills from their mouth as they allow you your indulgence, face burning beneath your lips as they smile— the widest, most lovesick smile that anyone had seen from them in a while —revelling in the attention, no matter how it flusters them.

M. Ariti

They squeak, waiting until you're done to bury their head in your shoulder, mumbling something or other about how that should really be a morning activity and not something to do right before they give their announcements.

Qiao Shi

They pull back in public, leaning down to murmur "not here" in your ear, a strained but ever soft smile on their features. In one of the dorm rooms, however, they relish the attention— turning it into a challenge, who can last the longest, laughing all the while

[Redacted]

He's quick to catch your chin before you get very far, holding it between a finger and thumb— pressing his lips to your forehead, then nose, both cheeks, and finally lips. He had wondered where his daily kisses had been, now he's made sure you got your own you can do as you please in return.

[of-love-and-starlight-if]

How would the ROs react, already in a relationship, to waking up from nap with their head on MCs lap and MC playing with their hair while singing softy to them?

ahhh, this is so cute! i love this scenario :)

I. Morin

Iss didn't often take naps, they rarely needed to, but that day they had been particularly tired, and when Althea led them to your bed and sat them down— you would be back in a minute, she assured, it was just an errand —Iss couldn't help but close their eyes. It was only when they woke up again, fingers running through the few tangles in their hair, soft lullaby reaching their uncovered ear— they must have had the back of her head to your stomach, they noted, thinking about it afterwards —that they even realised they had slept.

"...MC?"

Their voice was rough with sleep, and they weren't quite sure they had truly woken up, when you told them to go back to sleep— managing only a few words more before returning to slumber.

"You remembered mother's lullaby..."

R. Dubois

Ren had tried, truly they had, but having worked much of the day and well into the evening, they were exhausted. Alas, the club had paperwork to fill, and it was there they fell asleep— head resting on a battered desk, arms beneath it. That was not, however, how they woke up.

For starters they were on the plush couch that the clubroom had acquired, their pillow was softer than an arm, and hands ran through their hair with such care that they lost themself to the motions— listening closely to the sweet song that filled the stardusted room.

"You're like an angel, MC..."

They murmured out, grasping your wrist and tracing the vein with their thumb, basking in the peace you had brought them.

M. Ariti

Mik had asked you to come round and study. It wasn't unusual for them, not at all, they enjoyed the company and being able to bounce ideas off of another person. What was unusual for them, however, was the fact that they had fallen asleep before you even arrived— the dark bags beneath their eyes the most obvious piece of proof they had been up too late for too long.

They were surprised, when they woke up with a shudder, to find you in their room. They were in their bed, at least, with your legs tucked beneath their head, hair barely pressed flat under the pressure— your hand twirling their fringe gently.

"Do...I know that song?"

They barely choked out, trying desperately to ignore the flush in their cheeks as they paid closer attention to the tune woven by your voice— pushing aside the heart that threatened to beat out of their chest.

Qiao Shi

Qiao didn't sleep around you. In fact, you weren't even sure you had seen them sleep before at all, until that day. They hadn't shown at their dorm room, much to your frustration, so you headed towards the classrooms— and, lo and behold, there they were. Qiao had always had an otherworldly sort of charm to them, but it was only enhanced in their sleep, their hair fanning out behind them as you placed their head on your lap— occupying one of the two chairs they had been laying across, careful not to push them apart.

"Little rabbit."

Ah. They had been awake. Still, they didn't sound annoyed, so you simply started your song— voice filling the silence of the empty room, melting the tension from Qiao's shoulders. They certainly weren't what one would consider 'happy' about it— but they still sat with you, their eyes resting closed.

[of-love-and-starlight-if]

"Are you trying to make me angry?" and "Kiss me and/or shut up." for R or I please?

R. or I.? why not both!

using Rene and Isko, though if you'd like this changed then let me know :)

⋆⋆⋆

"Are you trying to make me angry?"

If he was then it wasn't working, there was little besides amusement in Isko's gaze as Rene frowned, moving back to his chair and narrowing his eyes at the offending male. You didn't remember how it started, some stupid argument that riled Rene up to no end, and did nothing at all to Isko— an unfortunate combo that led to how you were all currently sat.

Isko and Rene were face to face, maybe a hand's length between them that was steadily closing in, and you were facing the space between them— an easy way to see both their features as Rene continued on and on, rambling about whatever inconvenience had sparked the speech in the first place.

"Rene."

It was the first time Isko had spoken his name in a while, and the shock momentarily caused a pause.

"Kiss me and shut up."

His face flushed a brilliant scarlet, aflame at the proposition, as Isko closed the space between them— pressing their lips together with a gentle force —before he turned on you.

"Same treatment for you, treasure."

Your eyes gleam as Isko does the same to you, hand cupping the back of your head softly, turning you towards Rene after he had pulled back— allowing you to press your lips against his burning cheeks, then to his, pride blooming in your chest as you felt him smile.

At least your squabbling was always civil.

ROs favorite places to kiss and be kissed?

i had to think about this one :oo it was a close call between a couple of places for some of them

but:

Isko/Isa— temple (to kiss), jawline (to be kissed)

Rene/Renee— back of the hand//knuckles (to kiss), forehead (to be kissed)

Mikis/Mika— tip of their nose (to be kissed)

Qiao— pulse on the wrist//throat (to kiss), palm of hand (to be kissed)

[redacted]— the junction between the neck and the shoulder (to kiss), collarbone(s) (to be kissed)

[of-love-and-starlight-if]

[of-love-and-starlight-if]

Answer this? :D

with pleasure! i love doing these <3

with ROs and a few others :)!

[of-love-and-starlight-if]

hopping onto the song theme too! :)

every summertime by Niki

welcome aboard, it's a fun and musical ride :)!

"And I swear the magnolias flashed a smile (flashed a smile)//And that's when I caught me hoping you'd stay a while (stay a while)"— I'd say M or maybe R? I think R is more likely to vocalise the hope though, in a half-joking kind of way aksjak

[of-love-and-starlight-if]

Meet me in the pale moonlight by Lana Del Ray or Hometown Smile by Bahjat ? <3 cannot wait to read more of the story !! :^ )

aww, I'm so glad! I'm happy to hear that you like what little I've put out :') <3

here are your songs :)!

Meet Me In The Pale Moonlight, by Lana Del Ray

"Understand this, I been likin' you since I was small//I don't wanna get you runnin' scared//When there's no pressure there at all"— i mean who else could this be but I really, they've certainly loved MC for a long time akshaj

Hometown Smile, by Bahjat

"You got that look in your eyes//That says "Oh, every-thing will one day be alright""— M! they're not an optimist in the same way that Althea is, but they're a softer and more subtle version (if that makes sense)

"That home is not (not)//Where you go (where you go)//'Cause now I need (now I need)//Only you and me (you and me)"— [Redacted] and,,,,honestly probably R; from non-ROs this seems like a very Calliope statement ajsbaj

[of-love-and-starlight-if]

Stand Up by The Cab? or Bottle Up and Explode by Elliott Smith

Have a great day there!!

aww, you have a lovely day too, dear anon!

as for your songs, Stand Up by The Cab is here and the other one I'll do now :)!

"Bottle up and explode over and over//Keep the troublemaker below"— I think this would probably be [Redacted], but maybe not in the way these lyrics are read (more like the words themselves?), if that makes sense? I wish i could explain more aksjai

"But I'm tired now of waiting for you//You never show"— if you stretch then I'd say M or maybe R, but that's mostly if I'm actively searching; it's not a particularly obvious link ajsjs

[of-love-and-starlight-if]

She's a big boy by Mcbaise? 👀

"Can you please tell me what's under-neath my bed//Oh the monsters they're not just inside your head"— seems like quite an R thing, they're a sucker for the theatrics so a monster under the bed seems fitting akdhsj

[of-love-and-starlight-if]

Hi ~

We know from the premise that we're assigned the constellation of Pyxis at birth. Would it be too spoilery to ask if the ROs have their own constellations and what they are?

the ROs do indeed have constellations! thanking Cypher for being an absolute gem and finding them for me :)

as for what they are: I'm not sure if it's spoilery— when you get around to doing your constellation celebration, the constellations denote what theme your even will be, you can choose to dedicate it to one of the ROs, or yourself (for example Pyxis would be nautical themed)

i'll have Cypher add a cut under the stars as soon as he can, just in case, and then you can choose to read it or leave it a surprise :)

⋆⋆⋆

Rene/Renée— Pavo, the peacock

Mikis/Mika— Columba, the dove

Ikos/Isa— (currently undecided, i'll add this in when it's been chosen)

Qiao— Horologium, the pendulum clock

???— Lynx, the keensighted (or the lynx)

[of-love-and-starlight-if]

'Take Me Home' by Bryce Vine <3

hmmm 👀

"I was like - excuse me and my awkward approach//I just, noticed you were running out of rum in your coke"— definitely R; whilst they are certainly charming, they can be very good at masking that under whatever fits the situation (which is often charming but slightly out of place socialite akdjak)
