* @ronin-kendo had been training for the past hour, but his mind kept drifting off. Mostly to Charlotte, as was usual these days. Had she liked her White Day gift? What more could he do for her to help her out of her mind more often? Could he even do that?*

*Sighing, he mentally cursed as he felt his blade not go where he wanted it to. Such questions needed answers of some kind. But who could help ask about things regarding women? Jade would be no help, assuming she even wanted to talk to him... or he wanted to talk to her. And he hadn't spoken to the Reality Warriors since he had left...*

*That just left the Empress. She was a woman, so maybe she knew. Yes, finally, a sensible option.*

*Sheathing his sword, he walked over to where she was standing a little ways away, not noticing the fact that she had already been watching him. He gave a polite bow.*

Your Majesty, how are you this fine day?

[Kendo was distracted, that much was obvious. His forms were sloppy and unbalanced, and his frustration with it was evident. As he approached her, the Empress shifted off of the wall and nodded as he bowed.]

I am as well as I can be, dear one. But what of you? Your forms are frustrated, and your mind is elsewhere. What troubles you?

8. Do you have any snapshots that you know of? Do you get along with them?

None that I am aware of, but were I to encounter one, I have decided to treat them as equal but different persons. I am myself, and a snapshot would only have the same memories as me to a certain point, then our experiences of life would become wholly different, resulting in two dissimilar entities. I would not treat them unkindly, however. Each individual deserves due respect.

13. How do you handle the Island's changes? Are you generally able to cope with it?

As a part of the River Guard, it is intrinsically understood in our culture that change is inevitable and must be embraced, like the ebb and surge of the tide or the flow of the river. Coping in the face of that philosophy is relatively simple; as the Island changes, so must we all.

Yet there are some constants that keep one grounded. Who one is only changes in part, one's soul does not. The water still remembers the Island as it was and the truth of the Zero Point at its core, just as you remember every version of yourself you have ever been, as well as who you have always been deep within. As the outward changes come, holding on to that core keeps one from being swept away.

16. Have any events and changes in the Island affected your life significantly?

Being forced underground when the Island containing Mega City disappeared was difficult for my people, and they have had to work hard to adjust to surviving this brutal new Island devoid of any vestige of our homeworld. But they have adapted well.

The hardest impact upon me personally is the loss of the voice of the rivers surrounding the Underworld. Never have I encountered such a painful void as the silence of the spirits I had grown up with. I pray for their swift return.

[empress-mizuki]

[This time she didn't bother to hide the faint flush of pink that touched her cheeks at the sight of him, or the small smile that flickered on her lips unbidden. His presence brought her joy, and there was no harm in letting him see that.]

Would that this were merely a social call, dear one, but I fear there is something I must discuss with you, and I hope you may forgive me for the mistake I have made. But please, let us at least be comfortable while we speak.

[The Empress took a small but soft zabuton and sat against the wall as the Ageless found a seat as well. Her expression softened, the knot in her gut twinging.]

You brought to my attention a very dangerous threat the other day, Eugene, and I do not take that lightly. I called the Commander here today because he is the best source of information on this Island, and I had many questions, especially pertaining to the nature of the Omniverse, which none have been able to explain to me before.

[She sighed, resting her arms on her knees and lacing her fingers under her chin.]

But I also took a bit of a gamble, and I asked him about the Imagined Order. He seemed to worry that it might make me panic, but he was kind enough to explain, so at least I can keep us safe from them. Unfortunately, my second gamble tipped my hand too far.

Despite being fully aware of the Commander's shrewd intellect and network of intelligence, I did not account for the possibility that he had seen Geno's face. That was my mistake, dear one, and I pray you can forgive me, for in my desire to introduce you to my ally, I accidentally loaded my final question. I asked him if he knew who Geno was, and he immediately knew that it was because of you that I knew that name at all.

[She looked up at him, her eyes apologetic.]

I swear on all that I love, I did not betray your trust. I told him nothing. He bears you no ill will, thank the spirits... but he knows you, and for that, dear Eugene, I must beg your forgiveness.

[He had every right to be angry with her for her carelessness. Never had she brought herself so low as to beg for forgiveness, but her anxious heart lurched so painfully at the thought of his anger that she felt she couldn't bear it.]

[It was with some hesitation that the Empress approached her Champion's door. After the Commander had left, a knot had made itself known in her gut, tightening now as she took a deep breath.

Guilt. She had not betrayed Eugene's trust, but she had miscalculated badly. To think, of all the people she could have asked, she had found quite possibly the only other person on the Island who would recognize Geno's face... By merely asking her final question, she had very nearly put a target on Eugene's back. Never again would she underestimate the Commander, or how dangerously knowledgeable he really was.

And now the consequences of her miscalculation rested on her Champion. With a sigh, the Empress gently knocked on the doorframe.]

Eugene? Are you here, dear one?

*Eugene had finished his regular patrol, and had been introspecting afterwards when Mizuki knocked on his door.*

I am here, my Empress. Please, come in.

*He stood respectfully when she entered the room, and bowed. Her presence always had a way of calming him, and right now was no exception.*

Is there something you wished to discuss with me?

[thequeryqueen]

would you rather be the sky, the ocean or the forests? 

I don't even need to think about it, Of course I'll be the Sky. How else could I keep an eye on my vast, glorious kingdom? After all the Queen shall always be looked up to.

The sky shall be my reign and let my royal wisdom rain!

if you have a shuake request, always feel free to let me know~~ (tho no promises that I'll be able to draw it^^)

[empress-mizuki]

[Acknowledging his bow with a smile and a nod, the Empress gestured to the chair across from her to invite the Commander to sit with her.]

As am I, my friend. Forgive me for the somewhat rougher accommodations, we have been forced to adapt a location that was not built for us.

Before we begin, I would also like to introduce you to my Champion, as he has joined my ranks only recently. Ageless, this is Commander Jones of the Reality Warriors, a very close ally and good friend of mine.

[She kept a close eye on the Commander's response, curious to see if they knew each other at all, and if so, on what terms.]

[It had been a day or two since her Champion's return, and the moment that had burned itself deep in the Empress' heart. Now she watched him as he walked up the hill to the training dojo, but her mind was on their conversation that day.

Eugene had laid a massive amount of information out for her, but she had only understood some of it. As his Empress, she felt she had to find a way to understand all of it, and as soon as possible. But she didn't want to sit him down and make him go over every detail again when doing so once had caused him so much distress, so that left her with one option.

Taking a seat at her desk, she pulled a sheet of the special stationary the Commander had gifted her, knowing he would recognize it, and began to write.]

Empress Mizuki addresses the esteemed Commander Jones.

Questions that have long plagued me, but that I had no words to quantify, have been a thorn in my side since my arrival here. However, certain developments over the past few days have placed in my hands the pieces I was missing.

It has been my intention for some time to invite you to tea, and now I find myself with the opportunity. I hope that you are willing to help me find the answers to my questions over tea, my friend.

May the waves smile upon your path.

Empress Mizuki

*Jones was always glad to hear from Mizuki, though he was curious about what exactly she was hoping to talk about. Still, he had an opening in his schedule, and so he had written back indicating a time when he was free to visit.*

*Now, that day had come, and so Jones found himself walking through the entrance to Flooded Frogs. The River Guard had really cleaned the place up, and it showed.*

*He shot a lazy salute in greeting to Kendo, training in the courtyard, and got a confused one in return. Finally, he arrived at the larger central building, and found the Empress already seated with tea supplies in front of her, the Ageless at her side behind her.*

*Jones gave a polite bow.*

Your Imperial Majesty, thank you for the invitation today. I'm quite glad we were able to finally arrange a meeting under more pleasant circumstances than our previous ones.

"he's totally flirting with me" (pego voice)

[spacedace]

Found this old snippet and don't really remember of the context for it outside of being a joking exploration of how weird the Fenton/Phantom family tree would seem to outsiders (not even getting into how relationships might be classified differently between the human side & the ghost side)

Anyway gonna drop it here as a prompt lol

Mind the quick reference to dismemberment, there's no gore or detailed description and no one is actually hurt, it's more there for comedic effect, but still wanted to give the heads up on it 👍

Nomad motioned to the towering, vaguely vampire-looking buff dude with literal flaming hair what the fuck, “Dan, this is everyone. Everyone this is Dan. He’s my…” Nomad trailed off and blinked, a look of confused befuddlement on her face as she let the sentence hang for too long.

“Huh…” She said considering, looking up at vampire-dude, Dan apparently, with a confused furrow on her brow. “You know this is the first time I’ve ever had to try and explain our relationship to each other and I’m drawing a blank and what exactly to call you. Uncle? Dad? Brother? Like, I think you could technically be considered all three.”

What the fuck did that mean??? Kon snapped his attention over to meet Tim’s masked gaze, the look of wild confusion Kon was sure was on his own face mirrored there. Around the meeting room confused and worried looks were being shared by the rest of the League. Which like, yeah, what in the Habsburgs was happening here for all of those terms to be applicable?

“Well, you’re Danny’s Mirror, so if you consider him your dad then it stands to reason I’m also your father.” Dan said, hand coming up to his - literally flaming, how did that work? - goatee thoughtfully.

“Yeah but like, I call Danny dad just to piss Vlad off.” Nomad countered, toying with her severed arm with her still attached hand. Kon didn’t think he’d ever get over how casual she was about being literally disarmed and just…not caring. “And I definitely don’t see you as a dad. Uncle?”

The giant of a ghost shook his head with a frown, “Implies that Danny and I are brothers, which could work but gives our relationship kind of a weird vibe. I feel more like his father than anything.”

“Gramps, then?”

“No.”

Nomad laughed, “Fair, wouldn’t want to take the title of Grampa away from CW. Besides we’re both half Vlad, so I think brother works best here.” She frowned, looking thoughtful, “Maybe half brother?”

Dan considered, “Half-brother could work. Though it gives Vlad more credit than he deserves.”

“Oh come on, can you imagine the look on his face if we went in together on suing him for child support?” Nomad asked, fanged grin wicked. Dan’s face lit up at the idea, and Kon felt like they were rapidly heading towards the two ghosts running off to go and go torment whoever this Vlad guy was rather then them help deal with the current demonic problem at hand.

“Can you please explain what any of that means?” Kon asked, more a squeak than anything else. He was starting to get a headache.

*gives you crown-shaped garlic bread*

*hops on a house and runs away*

I am delighted to receive a crown, I shall wear this as my new regal accessory... until it’s devoured, of course!
