#rw ghost hunters

[psystirene]

I was surprised to see heaven in your eyes- /lyr

GHOST HUNTERS AU NIGHTMONK bceause i love Nightmonk. In this AU they are more or less both Saint's mentees (primarily Nightcat is, but Saint met Monk through Night and took an interest to their affinity for karma flowers).

They live in the same shelter, as Surv and Monk's parents are missing. Night is a bit of a mystery to everyone, especially as they are selectively mute and will only speak to a select few.

Monk and Nightcat are best friends with a budding relationship, just very wholesome all around.

I'm so soft for them I'm going to cry anyways <3

also nightcat transfem k bye <3

Don't Adopt Seven Slugpups

So I had a cute happy-ending idea of wanting to put skins of the iterators on my slugpups and take them to the outer expanse like they were freed. In order to do that, I assigned them a slugcat and then summoned that slugcat in pup form.

It was already chaos, but I wanted more. I wanted the iterators to have THEIR slugcats too.

To try to make it easier on myself I was going to try a Monk run; take them all to Pebbles, open the gate, and leave. Simple, right?

Well for starters they all kept spawning as the energetic type and were IMPOSSIBLE to control, but the addition of the campaign slugcats.... Oh boy.

My idea was:

Survivor - Suns, as they were a good base for any iterator.

Monk - Me, dressed as Hunter, as they were the only iterator's slugcat that didn't have a special design feature I couldn't get without playing that scug as their actual scug.

Hunter - Sig, another good base, plus Sig gets to be his cat lmao

Rivulet - Rivuelet, to keep the gills and speed.

Artificer - Artificer, to keep the scar and explosion abilities.

Saint wasn't included, sorry Saint lol

Spearmaster - Spearmaster, to keep the spear-making ability. (I REGRET THIS DEEPLY)

Gourmand - Moon, because I HC her as very strong but gets worn out easily due to her weakened state post-collapse.

Slugpup - Pebbles, simple base and the final one I needed.

No Inv, sorry buddy

Well, I couldn't stack them all on my back even with the Slugcat Safari mod (lets you stack as many pups as you like on your back!) because they wouldn't sit still, and because Spearmaster was sharting out a spear every 2 seconds.

(Idk why Arti's face was glitched to the original slugcat face, but that was the least of my problems with these little nuisances).

Couldn't even get past these 3 rooms, so uh.

Experiment failed, but it was quite an entertaining shitstorm

I kinda want to redraw those screenshots for the unbridled chaos

Jess Watches // Fri 2 Aug // Day 309 Synopses & Favourite Scenes & Poll

The Expanse (rw with mum) 3x12 Congregation

Wounded survivors arrive at the Behemoth. Holden and Ashford have a conversation. Holden tries to come to grips with what he has seen and tries to find out what is going on with the Station.

Naomi and Holden Camina reuniting and falling back into bed familiar patterns.The words that were unspoken but understood. Them putting their own safety at risk to help their family.

Avoidance (with mum) 2x04

Claire forces Jonathan to lie to her parents about their breakup, a lie that goes way too far. Dan and Courtney both struggle through the pain of an NCT mum's and dad's night out.

Everyone in Claire's family speaking with the thickest broadest Yorkshire accent was just delightful. I was well chuffed tha knows.

The Bear 3x07 Legacy

The restaurant is out of C-Folds. Sydney is presented with an opportunity.

The Faks are haunting the season. It was fun with 2 but they just keep multiplying. It's a bit too sitcom-y for the usual tone of the show. Also, the contrast in how Syd and Carmy see food and the restaurant. Girl, get out.

WondLa 1x04 Ghosts

Eva visits a sage and learns a grim fact about humans. Undeterred, she doubles down on her quest as Besteel the bounty hunter closes in.

I have missed Avasarala the last few Expanse eps so it was a pleasant surprise for Darius to hold my hand to help me through these trying times. Bobbie has dibs on her other hands. Although Amos has one too probably lol.

TB/RW AU - Toast and Mary

Wow it's been a month since I touched this AU.

I've been wanting to talk about their relationship since July, but college and personal life has been needing my attention more, and it has completely drained me.

Now that most of that is ironed out, I can finally get around to these guys, and how others saw them, on paper and hopefully flesh them out a bit, especially Mary: she really didn't get touched on during the videos.

They are young when they first meet - around 16-17 in human years. Their relationship, from friends to death, takes place over approx. 4-5 years. A Cycle does mean a day/night, but it can be cut short if there's a downpour.

Johnny and Mary met by pure chance; they were both on their way home, and Toast remarked on how large the squidcada Mary was carrying. They started talking for hours until Mary had to go.

They kept meeting up at random at first; aftermath of a lizard fight, paying at a scavenger pole, ect. and ended up chatting until one left. It took many of these surprised meetings for Mary to suggest a location to chat

These hangouts were not secret: Toast had already mentioned Mary to Jenny and Ghost a few times, so neither were surprised when they spent more time together.

Jenny thought that Mary was alright, and absolutely teased her little brother when he came home at times ("so, how was your date? ):3" "IT'S NOT A DATE!" D:<)

Ghost and Mary actually got along well, sharing an interest with the sunken Iterator can and how it came to be. Toast was afraid they'd be at each other throats over him, so he was relieved.

Gavin didn't know about Mary until much later. Toast didn't want to tell "The Golden Child" about his friends.

One talking point for them was past the grasslands. Scug tribes were known to take a pitstop at the can for shelter, food and to catch their breaths, so surely there was other places. Mary wanted to find these places.

It was Toast who first caught feelings, and was terrible at hiding it. He was also completely oblivious to it until Ghost asked if he ask who'd he'd been crushing on.

Mary was also unaware of Johnny's crush. She thought he was just being sweet.

Mary started catching feelings not too long after he did. She was more aware of hers, and at first denied it. Sure, they were nearly adults at this point, and Toast is... For void's sake, she's not in love!

But when he brightens her day by cracking his smile, and that feeling of glowy warmth feels so natural between them, it's hard not to see why.

As the cycles went on, they seemed to fall for eachother that bit more, and on one cloudy twilight, Toast finally confessed - and Mary said yes

There is around a year between their confessions and when Mary first voices her old ideas about leaving the can to explore past the grasslands again, and a few cycles more for Toast to agree to come with her.

He tells Ghost that he's leaving with Mary a few cycles before the day. Ghost is a mess: his only friend is leaving, probably never coming back, and he'll be stuck here alone. Toast replies that he'll find someone else, like "the other hunter" (Katrina), but he's going. They have a last embrace, both trying not to cry, before Toast turns and leaves. This is the last time Ghost sees him for a long time.

Jenny is the one who sees them off. She gives them both explosive spears ("for emergencies"), some batflies and Johnny one last hug before they set off.

Even with their advantages, they struggle to keep alive. The orange lizards are more tougher than the ones they're used to, and close calls with vultures are common.

However, they slowly get the hang of it and by the end of the year, they're somewhat capable with the wilds.

Mary seemed to be more adapted than Toast, which did lead to some troubles along the road

They're thriving for until the end of spring since this is when Mary dies

They're caught late outside when the storm hits, and they're rushing back to their shelter. Between the low light and starting of rain, it's getting hard to see or hear.

They don't hear the vulture until one of its mandibles strikes the ground near Johnny and they book it faster.

The vulture gets a lucky shot when it grabs Mary almost at their shelter and starts to fly off. Johnny throws his spear at the head, hoping for it to drop her.

At the last second, it's head turns and the spear pierces both Mary and the vulture's cheek, to Toast's horror.

They both fall, but the downpour is getting worse (it's starting to hurt him), so he has no time to search unless he wants to be pelted to death.

Toast hides in the shelter, shaking like a leaf and with a sinking feeling.

The storm only lasts for the night, to Johnny's luck, and he's out the second the rain slows down enough.

He feverishly searches for Mary, calling her name, but no luck. He tries again the next cycle: still nothing. It takes a third cycle for Toast to find evidence.

The only thing left in the mud and flattened grass is a Karma flower. Mary is dead. Officially

Toast just stares in disbelief, before falling onto his knees and sobbing and going "nononononono I'm sorry. I'm sorry" again and again. It's cut short when a lizard interrupts his crying.

He takes the flower and goes back to the shelter, miserable and guilty

He spends two weeks in the shelter, laying in the emptier nest and holding the flower whilst he feels more and more guilty and remorseful for Mary's death. He only leaves when he can't hunt or handle being alone anymore and makes the long long long trek back to the can since that's the only place with bluefruit and popcorn plants

When he finally sets foot in the ruin a year and a half after he and Mary left, he's starving from not leaving the shelter, so he's just scavenging any fruit and leftovers to eat.

At some point Ghost and Toast do reunite.

Ghost finishes up a lizard hunt for breakfast, when be hears shuffling behind him. Turning around, he's not expecting Toast behind him. He's obviously exited to see him after over a year and rushes to him, but his joy turns to concern when he sees his reddened eyes and asks what's happened. Toast just collapsed into Ghost's shoulder and cries, crying a little harder when Ghost awkwardly hugs him.

He stays with Ghost since his grief is leaving him unable to survive on his own.

Ghost doesn't know what's happened; he only finds out when Toast breaks down one night and spills out everything

It doesn't help that Ghost's Rot Problem manifested during his time away, so some cycles Ghost is just suddenly gone.

There is no alcohol in Rain World and there isn't really any substitute, so Toast doesn't have with drinking problems in this AU.

Ghost does comfort him during the worse of this, saying that it wasn't his fault and getting Toast out of the shelter.

Jenny does also help with Toast's grief, but her own problems means she can only give him a little. Ghost is his main comforter.

It takes a long time, with some setbacks along the way, but by Mid-Early P.I.E/Spooker joining, Toast worked through most of his grief for Mary's death.

There is some hope he can see her again.

Now in Rain World, you don't exactly die: If you want to truly die/"break your cycle" you need to go to the void sea. This does run the risk of becoming an echo though, and if you do become one, you're fucked.

In this AU, this gets tweaked a bit. There's two ways of becoming an echo: either through the Void Worm's rejection or through "Forsed/Self Ascension" Basically if you die too many times in rapidly succession. This is one hell of a massive mess in practice, so there's scugs that die for the first time and that's it, and there's scugs that seem immortal.

Mary got the short end of the stick, and became an echo the first time she died

When Mary realised what had happened, she was torn.

On one hand, she felt searing betrayal by Johnny. They'd spend all this time together, just for him to stab her in the back and leave her body in the rain!

On the other, it was bad luck that got her killed. Did she also want Toast to die by trying to find her? He was sensible to wait!

Her echo stayed where she was as anger and her mind warred on. She figured that she could wait to see Johnny's reaction before judging.

Her anger towards him seemed to smother out when Toast was sobbing out apologies at the sight of her Karma Flower.

She didn't follow him all the way back to the can: as much as she wants to comfort him and say anything, she can't help him now. He'll have to work through his guilt on his own.

As of current day, Mary is still in the wilds, exploring the great unknown.

She might go back and see Toast, but it will mean she will have to say goodbye. She doesn't think she can yet.

Bittersweet ending, but I hope I managed to give Mary some personality and this relationship some development.

RW Space AU Info!

(created by @lemon-ve-ghost!)

SYNOPSIS

The Ancients once sought erasure from existence, but now with the power of space travel, they search for a new planet to call home. The world was beyond saving with their actions of seeking escape, at least what most believed. When a rogue iterator threatened the people (unintentionally), most had fled and destroyed the remaining access to a new life, leaving the remnants of a once great civilization to rot. Feeling betrayed, those who had been abandoned worked harder to catch up, only to leave in panic as another threat loomed over the horizon. And at the very end, the iterators who had helped them flee were left alone in a dying world, left to ponder whether it had been worth it.

Feel free to ask questions regarding the blog n stuff! I could make an FAQ page lol uhh lemme set shit up first

Askblog is story-driven! Periodically (whenever I give myself time), there will be larger art pieces or comics that drive the story forward and introduce new characters

Gold Droplets is the name of the planetary system! It is named after void fluid, and it resides within the Eclipsed Galaxy

Main planet is the 5th planet, and although it's very cold, there's still warm enough with enough atmosphere to support life

The entire system has been conquered, iterator-esque stations are all over the other planets and celestial bodies

The people (Ancients) have somewhat evolved separately where they were raised

There are 9 generations of iterators total, with a large age gap between gens 3 and 4

[feathered-moths-ablaze]

Hi it's the Anon unmasked >:)

To be fair, this crossover takes the bases of the scugs and critters, ignores alot of their campaigns and runs wild with them and how to fit them with these guys, so alot of them are picked more for abilities and cosmetic rather than their stories. Granted, this will still have some spoilers for the campaigns and/or their mechanics so avoid scugs with orange in case of RW spoilers

(also: I took some of your Soup family headcannons for Spooker. It was good Soup)

Time for the rest (o boy my fingers). Apologies if I miss any characters, I probably don't know they exist or how they fitted into the video's plot

P.I.E

Johnny Ghost (Hunter) - to the local colonies, Ghost is an enigma: He rarely eats yet never starves; he isn't pure white, instead a pale gray; he's isolated yet prickly; and he always disappeared every 20 cycles. Yet despite this, he and his little tightnit group are glued to the hip as they crawl into the dead iterator can they call home.

Johnny Toast (Nightcat) - yes I know Nightcat got scraped. Toast is practically Ghost's other half, meeting as pups and never leaving since. He has a knack for trouble, both getting in and causing it, so he has a great throwing arm, perfect for stunning the enemy and a hit with a spear

Spooker (Saint) - growing up with echos is not easy; worse when they tell you to take revenge. They're not all about that though, and choose the more 'peaceful' cycles for themselves. The time with their family hasn't left them however, which leaves tension at times within the group. After all, they're the only one who knows where Ghost goes...

Colin (Survivor) - the only normal scug in a 50 miles radius. How he's still with these guys after everything is a mystery but hey, Colin likes them and they like him back, so he stays. Plus they need someone with braincells.

Misc. Characters

Jimmy Casket (Rot/Spearmaster) - this changes depending on how you see Jimmy. If dead, he's the rot within Ghost, searching the wasteland for anything that moves, whenever it be pray, predator or friend. He only gets a cycle before he goes dormant. If alive, he's streaking though everything, stabbing like he's trying to get a high score. Those giggles are the last thing you hear before a spear is chucked at your throat.

Gavin Toast ("Survivor") - the twin who's more trouble than Johnny! He tries to hide his Nightcat abilities so he can sneak around better (Nightcat are rare in these lands) and that the Echos don't pay him too much notice, even if he can notice them. Don't put the twins in the same shelter: only one is coming out alive.

Maddie Friend (Monk) - despite her friendliness, Billy is fucking terrified of her, and often leads to him hiding underwater. It doesn't help that she can't seem to understand why he's scared, and comes around often, which only makes it worse. Maybe flowers will help?

Gregory Casket (Slugpup) - just a little guy before everything went to shit.

Cardboard Friend (???) - under the Scavenger mask and blunt quills leaves a terrifying mystery. Are they an echo or something worse? Why do they focus on slugpups? What happens to their victims? There's a reason no pups are found alone.

Mary Toast (Echo) - she's probably one of the few echoes that look more scug than echo. She's also possibly the only known echo that's mobile. She often wanders to places unknown now that she can with ease. She might come back to visit Toast again, but for now, she's just happy her late husband isn't drowning in misery.

Katrina (Echo) - same can't be said for Katrina. At first, she was angry at Ghost, wanting an apology, now she just wants an explanation. Why did he do it? Was it him or her that sparked it? Are you even sorry?

The Housekeeper (Iterator) - hidden deep in the can, hidden under overlapping pipes and rubble, is a still working iterator, Whispering Fates. Under his feet is the void sea, dug to by him. He calls for ones with his overseers, waiting. Never try to find him. You'll not come back the same.

My brain has been going Slugcat, so why not mash my current fixation and my revived fixation? Rain World × Talebr crossover!

I've currently only got the Achechalla Family down (butchered the name) so I might send another one for PIE and Misc. Characters

Papa (Gourmand) - chonk! Since his children have black hair, I'm assuming that his hair was black (before he went bald), so he's a black Gourmand.

Gertrude (Rivulet) - how a blue cat became orange and non of her children got her ginger, no-one knows.

Sally and Billy (Rivulet) - Fraternal Twins baby! Since they look near identical, it's easy to mix the two at a distance. Other than personality, the difference between them is the frills and eyes (Billy: Green eyes, lighter frills, Sally: Blue eyes, magenta frills)

Spencer (Artificer) - noone knows how he got here, but he keeps the scavengers and lizards out so he stays.

Freddie (Red lizard) - when Sally was just a slugpup, she had somehow managed to tame the most dangerous lizard without dieing and kept it a secret for cycles. They found him out when he followed her home, and got attacked by Spencer. He's now the family pet, and a great intimidation tool.

Maxwell (Echo) - he doesn't like how ascension screwed him over (read: someone screwed him over), so he looms over his descendants, waiting for one of them to get enough karma to hear him so he can... influence them to get them on the right path.

My YouTube recommended has been 110% Rainworld for all of May, but I’ve been trying to dodge spoilers so idk much about the actual cats and story (this is fine tho, i just won’t be able to add much ^^)

It’s interesting to see the family to be somewhat related here, minus Spencer and Sue ofc, and I do think it’s a little funny that they’re all axolotl cats but Papa. (For people who don’t know what Rivulets look like, they look like absolute baybes and I do see the Spencer in the artificer:)

Echoes are enemies with a vague connection to the slugpups that i don’t fully understand yet, so Maxwell being an Echo makes sense, it would also make sense if PIE’s job here was to put them out of their misery. I do however feel like this is incomplete without Sue, Freddio, and Hurricane, so I’m gonna try my hand at them!

Sue ( Saint ) - There are many things about Sue that make me lean to this one, with or without considering colors. For start, their world is one of the most dangerous to wake up in and instead of rain, it’s full of snow. That gets me because of her backstory: Sue’s original world was consumed by a nuclear winter. Saint is also the most frail character, and even with the tongue it doesn’t really… change that. Idk the whole thing but STILL.

Freddio ( Strawberry Lizard ) - Being the younger brother of Freddy, making them a different type of red-ish lizard would be cute to me. I know that Strawberry lizards only REALLY spawn in Saint’s campaign, but the legacy system thing MAY allow for it? Maybe? Idk. In canon Freddio is smaller than Freddy and somewhat more aggressive, so maybe it would make more sense if they swapped, but idk things.

Hurricane ( Giant Jellyfish ) - Giant Turtle? GIANT JELLYFISH! Slow-moving, not really a threat to Papa but otherwise deadly and especially prevalent to Sue… Just like canon!

Also here’s saint and gourmand for anyone wondering bc I forgot to add them earlier

[psystirene]

some ghost hunter au spearmand for your consideration

i'm always so normal about them (lore dump soon probably.. or something. idk again i need to do coloring and coloring HARD)

Also the other character is Enot but they look particularly fucked up in this one lol

"You can see ghosts, right?" Monty looked up at her customer, a rather hurried looking man in a suit. She nodded, green eyes aglow.

"I'm a physic yes," She replied, and the man looked her up and down. He had expected an older woman with a house full of haunted dolls, not a young lady with bright eyes and a friendly smile.

"Well, come in," She invited him in. "Have a seat." The man sat on the couch, and looked around. Various pictures hung in the wall. One that caught the man's eye, was a portrait of a long-haired man, with a rather wolfish grin.

"Who's that?" The man asked, and Monty smiled.

"My husband."

"Husband?" The man blinked, and then he noticed, the ring. It was pretty ring, with a bloodred jewel. The sudden noise of heavy footsteps overhead made him tense up. Monty, however, only giggled.

"Don't worry! That's only Stanley!" She smiled, as the heavy, lumbering footsteps descended down the stairs.

The man watched, as Stanley, Monty's husband walked downstairs. He was tall, taller than anyone he had seen, with a wild mane of thick red hair, and red eyes that narrowed as he made eye contact with the man. The man watched as Stanley plodded across the living room, where Monty stood, and the two embraced. Monty's smiled widened, and she kissed him.

"How's my Cuddle Bear?" Stanley gave her a tired smile.

"Exhausted." He frowned at the man, while simultaneously looping an arm around Monty's waist, pulling her closer to his chest. It was then, the man noticed, on one of Stanley's big hands, was a wedding band, a dark green jewel embedded in it.

"Who's this?" Stanley asked, his voice carrying a faint growl. Monty smiled, taking his face in her hands.

"Our client. He's got a ghost problem." Stanley nodded, and turned to the man, regarding him with slight mistrust.

"What's haunting you?"

OKAY SO

Rain World is a metroidvania / survival / platformer game where you simply just are a little creature! You are This Little Guy

And if you liked hollow knight I’ll already just say play this game it has a lot of similarities! But I’ll go on a bit more about my own experience.

You are a Slugcat, a nomadic creature. Live in this world that isn’t very friendly to you! Learn, struggle, and grow. This game has made me cry COUNTLESS times. I also love the accessibility features, because I genuinely couldn’t have completed the game without them!

But the base game gives you 3 diff Slugcats. Survivor (white), Monk, and Hunter! Each plays differently and Hunter actually has some pretty cool abilities!

The game does have a HUGE learning curve.. it took me quite a long time to get even sorta good. I also had a friend guiding me, the map is…. Hard to understand at times. But, Wandering is apart of the experience!

THEN THERES DOWNPOUR. Id highly recommend it. Gives the accessibility and gives you FIVE more scugs to plag as!

Rain world is SUUUCH A GOOD GAME. if you like robots, or bugs, or bug adjacent things (think ghost or ori or baba is you) PLAY RW!!!!!!!!! I cannot recommend this game enough!!!!! It has!!! Changed my life!!!!!!

To answer questions I j saw now in the tags - multiplayer is possible! I used the jolly coop mod for every campaign. It is very hard, I will not lie. Hk gave me a hard time at first until I got a handle on the controls, and rw it took me much longer. Appeal for me comes in the story! And the characters. I wont lie to you Op it is very hard I struggled a lot with it

I actually played the whole game with a friend, so I had help while playing.

Edit- I also use accessibility like crazyyyy in this game it’s great

I hope this helps!!!!!

Someone tell me about rain world and if i should play it

[boldlyanxious]

Remember when

RW masterlist

I don't even know what this is. It popped in my head so I wrote it.

Part 1-Unplanned Date

Timinette

"Stop laughing at me." Tim said to Barb. "If you aren't going to help just leave me be."

"I want to help you Timmy, but I don't believe in ghosts." Barb says with a smile.

"It's not a ghost. I am being followed."

"Are you on that again," Dick asked.

"Not again. Still." Tim said. "I'm not making this up. I see movement behind me on every patrol."

"You need to lay off the coffee and get some sleep." Dick responded.

"What about the feedback on the comms?" Tim asked.

"We have ordered new ones. They aren't supposed to have any interference or feedback." Dick said.

"New equipment will not fix this. Someone is out there, planning something." Tim said.

She pulled back into the shadows before Red Robin could see her. She had never meant to taunt him with her presence but she was having fun with it now. Her steps were silent in her transformation and her hooded cloak fell almost to the ground covering her suit with black that faded to a dark red ombre.

Tonight her plan was taking form. Every time he turned his head to find her she disappeared into the shadows. Every time he kept after her she left a batarang she had collected with arrows taped on for him to follow.

She stalled on a roof to give herself a little more time. She let him spot her cape whip around to give him movement to track. She watched him pick up and read it. He looked around for her and then reached up to turn off his comms.

---

He followed her and collected the batarangs. She may think he was playing her game but he was collecting evidence. He looked around for the next one and didn't see anything until there was a flash of movement. He followed and the next had a note 'they are laughing at you'

He looked around again before turning off his comms. At least now he had proof that it wasn't a ghost or all in his head. He followed to the next rooftop. He was being cautious but he wasn't worried. She was very petite and by the path she chose she was not very athletic, probably just a bat groupie who picked him as her focus.

He crossed 3 more rooftops without seeing another. He hadn't seen anymore flashes of movement. He looked around at all the nearby rooftops and decided he had lost her. One more look around and he headed back towards his route. The two buildings he jumped to next were a bit further to get to. Since he had never seen her choose a jump that far he expected she has vanished as she had the other nights.

On the third roof he saw that he had been wrong. There was another batarang. It has no arrow so he flipped it over to see the message 'look out!' but it was too late. A cord suddenly zipped around him, pinning his arms to his sides. A second cord followed immediately after tying his legs.

---

She watched him as he bent down for the last batarang and then she sprang the trap. After the cords secured his arms and legs she jumped over to where he was. She walked behind where he was struggling to loosen the cords and placed her hands on each arm as she lifted her foot to push the back of his knees until he was sliding down to the rooftop.

She made sure he sat down gently before she turned and reached in her bag. His hands were struggling to get loose but she ignored it and put a mug in his hand. He barely saw the little bird on the bottom before she poured hot coffee in from a thermos. She poured herself one from the same thermos and sat facing him.

"Who are you and what do you want?" He asked.

"You can call me Rouge Gorge. I don't want anything. You have been chasing me so I allowed you to catch me." She replied.

"I don't exactly feel like I've caught you."

"You caught my eye. Is that what you wanted?"

"I just wanted to know what you were doing in Gotham."

"I live here."

"Then what are you doing running around on rooftops?"

"Same as you, I suppose." She thought for a moment. "Although it is exhilarating even without your game of chase."

"I'm here to get you to stop. Batman controls who can run around the roofs." She didn't respond. She reached up to his face and ran her finger along the top of his mask before tracing down to his jaw. He held his breath and pulled at the bonds to prevent her from removing his mask.

"I wish I could see your eyes." She said wistfully. "I bet they bring all of this together perfectly." She moved her hand in front of him and indicated all of him. His mask didn't hide his blush fully.

"You aren't taking it off me?"

"It's not my place to do so. That's your identity." She paused and touched her ear. "They are looking for you."

"Don't suppose you are planning to untie me."

"No. I'm not." She reached to his chest straps and pulled off his logo.

"Hey, what are you doing?" She grinned at him.

"Souvenir." She replied before leaning close to him and kissing his cheek, making sure to leave a bright red mark. "That mug is for you. I think you will like the coffee too."

She reached to his belt and flipped the switch on his comms so he could hear and put the control to talk in his hand before she jumped away. He couldn't see her after but she watched until his friends came before she headed home with a flutter of her cape.

Ghost Hunters

[dulnefni12]

RW 01//: Without Light

They marched through the streets, organized lines of phalanx pushing forward against desperate gunfire. Armed civilians, merchants and city guard formed a meager defense against their attackers. A young man, no older than seventeen, made a determined charge against the advancing line. The cabal’s gunfire nearly cut him in half before he made more than seven steps. There was panic filling the streets, women and children moving in a chaotic stream towards whatever safety they could find. Men, women, children, and Cabal filled the streets… 

But Dulnefni-12 couldn’t see a single Guardian.

He scanned the chaos in front of him, grip tightening on his hand cannons, and then turned his gaze up to the distant tower. Guardian jumpships swarmed it in rapid defense, the Traveler’s gift to them sparking across the walls as warlocks, hunters and titans cast their powers to drive the Cabal back. But what use was the Tower or the wall if the Cabal were already in the streets? 

“They should have abandoned the tower already.” Dul’s ghost spoke from out of sight. 

“The Vanguard was caught off guard… and now their command is a mess. Fantastic.”

The distant screams of panic and battle bore into Dul’s head, dragging painful memories back from the far past. For a moment, he saw his own people, his kingdom, burning beneath the boots of the Iron Lords. He paused, panic gripping his throat for only a brief moment, before he blinked the memories back. Dul-12 steeled his nerves, took in a deep breath into false lungs, and stepped out from the alley. 

The Cabal halted their advance when he came to stand in the center of the street. The civilians and guards behind him held their fire. Though in the air above them waged a battle, and war surrounded them on all sides, there was a hush where they stood. Dulnefni-12 turned his gaze back towards the line of civilians, and nodded to them a silent command to retreat. 

Dul-12 spun his serpents on his fingers, and raised them to take aim. The silence hung heavy between them, tense and thick in the air. Then the Centurion shouted their command in the crude tongue of the Cabal. Heavy fire spat forth from the Cabal line, and Dul-12 sprang into action. 

One jump into the air above the first volley, two shots rang out and struck behind the phalanx’s shields. A second jump and a twirl, two more shots cut down two more phalanx. They fell with heavy thuds, Dul-12 coming to land on their chests. He paused a moment as the lines of phalanx and legionaries turned their guns towards him, and then went to work. 

Bullets pierced his chest, his arms and legs, but he recovered quicker than they could hit him. His knife sank into necks, his bullets found their marks, and the Cabal fell in a flood around him. Soon, all that remained of this division was their Centurion. Dul-12 set his feet down on the street once more, his cloak settling against his back, and turned to face this last Cabal. This time, no silence hung between them. 

Dul-12 sprinted forward, dodged around the Centurion’s gunfire, and threw his knife into the Cabal’s shield. The energy around the hulking Centurion broke with a blast, throwing Dul-12’s cloak back from him as he leapt with another knife ready. The Centurion recovered just quick enough to catch him in the air, preventing the knife from sinking into his throat. Dul-12 placed a heel against his chest and drew his hand cannon. To his surprise, the Centurion spoke. 

“You fight like Eliksni, Guardian.” The Centurion pulled him closer. “Savage. Personal.”

“Yeah, funny that.” Dul-12 raised his hand cannon, golden light beginning to wrap around it. The power swelled, cried for release, and Dul-12 pulled the trigger. 

And then the light died.

[taramatsu-san]

Okay so I said before I would talk about some of the deleted scenes and other such things from UN//Forgotten, in case anyone is curious! There will be spoilers under the read more, so be warned if you haven’t finished the story yet!

Before we get into that, also have some art that I never used for some reason that was supposed to go with this fanfic:

Alright, the rest of the cut content under the read more! Also sorry I don’t know how to make the Read More work on mobile? It just refuses so everything after this is a spoiler!

So the first thing that was changed from the first draft was the roles of Kara and Oso within the story. Before I started writing I wanted to have all the characters follow the roles they had in the Hesokuri Wars Steampunk set. That would mean that Kara was a bounty hunter. I tried to fit that into the plot in various ways, such as Kara being a slave to Chibita, but still working as a bounty hunter, and then having Oso killing Chibita. But that didn’t really work with the plot. Like if Kara didn’t know Oso before he killed Chibita, why would he go with him and join his group? He wouldn’t. And then Oso would have no reason to rescue him, and ect. It didn’t work so I made Kara a normal slave/outlaw like Oso instead. Then the plot made 100% more sense, especially after I decided how Chibita would die in the story, but more on that later.

I wrote the first four or five chapters before uploading any of them. I had written the Choro family as not knowing each other as children originally in those first few chapters, they had all escaped from separate farms and such. I then realized that made a huge plot hole. How did they all escape? How did they find Choro? Why did Ichi trust them, but not Kara? It just didn’t make sense so after uploading the first two chapters I went back and edited the other chapters to them knowing each other from the beginning. This made the story stronger and just made more sense.

Around chapter seven I realized the plot was taking too long. I then edited the rest of chapter seven, which became chapter seven and eight actually, severely. I put too much in and there wasn’t enough room. The biggest things I took out was a scene where after Dekapan examines Kara, Kara helps him out with a delivery to Nyaa-Chan. On this delivery he would see Oso walking around, his eyes glowing red. This would establish he was more actively looking for Kara, although he mostly hung around the main street and the bank, aka where Chibita died. It was unnecessary and dragged the chapter on too long so it was cut. I instead put a tiny scene with Oso in the next chapter, but I don’t think it had the same impact. Oh well.

Next scene I cut out in chapter eight was Todo talking about his past experiences as a slave. It made that chapter drag and Todo’s past had very little importance on the plot as a whole, so Homura ended up talking about it briefly instead. Side note, when Homura says, “I never had a choice in anything! I just, I just want to make my own decision for once.” That was extremely obtuse foreshadowing of her suicide attempt. She made her own decision for once, it just wasn’t a very good one. sobs

Chapter 9, or chapter ——- (seven dashes), those dashes standing for both suicide and Chibita, didn’t exist in my original outline, throwing off my outline even further, cause you know I’m like that. There was just a small scene in the notes that said “RW: Karamatsu can’t decide if he wants to continue story,” which I somehow turned into a whole chapter. Go me!

Chapter Thirteen (actually 14) had a much darker tone in the first draft. It had Karamatsu contemplating suicide, holding his box cutter against his wrist before the voice of Kara stops him from doing anything stupid. Then he would run away. I changed it because he wouldn’t have enough time between Choromatsu leaving and returning to do all that, and because it would lessen the impact of his actual suicide attempt and Kara trying to stop him at the end of the story. It flows better with him just running away and leaving his poem behind! I think!

There was a dream sequence that got cut out of chapter fourteen (15 number wise) in which it was clearer that it was about Chibita. I made it far more vague in the actual story.

Also something I never saw anyone mention, but I’m sure people noticed, Oso says, “We were more like test subjects, because the five of us have magic that’s considered to be too ‘powerful’ or too ‘dangerous’.” He messed up and said five instead of four, since he was counting Chibita. I tried to make this clearer by mentioning four in relation to the futon.

Also this is something I never mentioned either, but Kara’s headaches got worse after he used his magic, and the “Find Oso,” was memories leaking through. It was his own brain trying to save him and get him to remember. On that note, the reason Oso didn’t know about Kara’s entire plan to make his memories obscured was because he can only use one part of his magic at a time. He can either track someone or read their mind, and since Kara was so far away he used all his power to track him instead.

Oh and another thing. Kara never mentioned Oso’s name to anyone until he ran away from Choro. This is mainly because while Choro and the others wouldn’t know if him, Professor Dekapan knew of his existence and that he was an outlaw rather than a bounty hunter.

Oh and when Oso says people think real loud at him about jobs, that was actually a lie. He just didn’t feel like explaining it to Kara, but he has informants who at a certain time in the morning relay their thoughts to Oso about any jobs. So it’s kinda like thinking really loud but not really lol.

So as for the memories, they were one chapter at one point, but I changed it to two. I also changed around the order of the memories from my notes to what is in the story since it made the reveal of Chibita happen later. That meant I had to edit out a mention of Chibita in the memory of just Kara and Oso after Kara obscured the house. It was only one line so it wasn’t that big of a deal.

The memory of Kara and Chibita at the top of the second chapter of memories wasn’t in the notes at all. I added it in to give context to Kara attempting to throw his magic across the room. Neither was the memory where Kara and Chibita are talking through the wall. That scene wasn’t even added until like moments before I uploaded that chapter omg. I thought the story needed more Kara and Chibita bonding moments!

Another big change was Chibita’s death. In the original script it was from a botched rescue job. Basically they were helping to rescue some slaves with the wagon, but got chased by real bounty hunters, Chibita fell off the wagon and Kara couldn’t save him and he got captured. That didn’t have the emotional impact of an on screen death, and didn’t echo the real life Chibita’s death, so I changed it to a bank robbery. Originally it was a more normal bank robbery, like Kara ghosted them in and they robbed the bank with guns but Chibita was killed, but I couldn’t figure out a way that would work well? And also Kara can walk through walls, why wouldn’t he walk right into the vault? So it became what it is in the story because of that.

Also the title, Chapter ___ ___? Stands for “Bad End?”

So now for changes to the ending! At first Karamatsu was going to jump from a bridge, not the cliff. The cliff made more sense because it echoes what Kara did in the story.

Osomatsu also talked more with Karamatsu in the first draft, but I cut a lot of it out. Things he mentioned include the way he found Karamatsu being the cellphone he called him from. He got it from Dekapan and it tracked him. It only worked since he picked up the phone, so if he hadn’t answered Osomatsu never would’ve found him. That wasn’t really plot relevant and I couldn’t fit it in with such a tense moment so it got cut. Another change was it cutting off at Osomatsu screaming “Wait,” and the rest just being told in the video. I wrote more of the ending with Osomatsu saying a few more things, but it was dragging and not important, so bye bye to all that.

Chapter True End (21) started differently, with Kara still cutting his throat but missing any main arteries which would’ve killed him. So he just passed out from blood loss instead of over-using his magic. I liked Oso saving him more to reflect what happened in reality, so that was changed.

The scene at the end with Ichimatsu was longer, with Karamatsu also fretting about his scars and Ichimatsu telling him that they were like battle scars, showing how hard he had struggled and still lived, but I couldn’t get it to fit in right so I cut that out as well.

One last note, if I ever did a bad end, a real bad end that is, I would probably make a video and I would use the song “Transparent Elegy”. It’s the sister song to “Farewell Wonder Noise”, kinda. It’s sort of like how in my other fanfic The Heaviness of a Heart, I had the song “Q” as the good end and “RE:Overdose” as the bad end because those are like sister songs as well. Speaking of which, “Heart Nonsense” and “Falling Apart Heart” are also sister songs. I like to use songs by the same artist with similar themes I GUESS.

Actually, since I haven’t rambled enough, a lot of this story was inspired by THOAH. Both Karamatsu’s and Choromatsu’s online names, MyLightShinesForYou and NyaaFan96, come from that fanfic. There are other inspirations from THOAH, but let’s not get into all that since I could write another 1000 words just on the similarities, hhhh.

So anyway, I think that’s it! If you have any other questions feel free to ask me I’ll answer them!
