You had about an hour and half to get ready, before you had to make your way to the Mappa Frat House down the street. Chloe's brother, Satoru, and his friends were inviting you two to some house party they held every year building up to Halloween.

To be real, it took you A LOT of convincing for Chloe to have you come to the party with her. You were never a party person. The thought of throwing up your guts after your system has consumed all types of shit. Or the annoying guys that slap your ass from behind in hopes of getting time with you in the bedrooms upstairs.

You were the total opposite of Chloe, and honestly, you envied her. She was a social butterfly who could blend in with anyone if she needed to, and she was evidently liked by the other students of any clique out there.

Oh, and by party animal, I mean it. Dresses in every colour, length and pattern. Heels of every inch and style. She just knew what to do. Practically, if you got her to go to your party, that's how you'd know if it was a good fucking party. 

Sitting in front of your desk finishing your makeup, which you were surprisingly good at, you giggle as you watch Chloe attached a lasso to her waist.

She had looked really cute in her Woody costume, and you were in fact, dressed as a sexy Buzz Lightyear. Earlier on at Ann Summers, Chloe was begging for you to match with her. You couldn’t refuse. It was a 2 for 1 sale anyway..

You smiled as she started to record a few tiktoks before hitting the road.

"I'm gonna have so much fun with this rope tonight."

"Mhm.." you let out a hum as you focus on doing your eyeliner. It was hard not to laugh at what she said, but you managed to suppress a giggle.

You lined some lashes with glue before placing them on your lash line. Your makeup was flawless tonight, and you were grateful because it had been quite some time since you've done a full glam. A bit of setting spray, and you spun your chair around to face Chloe.

It was as if she was a proud mother from what she was seeing in front of her. "Gorgeous! You look like a doll. A sexy one. Stand up really quickly, let's take a few pictures before heading out."

You stumbled a bit from the high heeled boots you were wearing, and you had to adjust the fabric your ass was practically eating as you stood up. You and Chloe took a few cute pictures before heading out to the Mappa House.

As you guys got there, it was already packed with all shit ton of people spread out on the front lawn doing all sorts of stuff.

The loud music from the inside could be heard from where you were standing. People were smoking, making out, doing keg stands.

Honestly, Chloe was right. You looked at a group of girls huddled and chatting near the door, and one caught your eye. The girl was wearing nothing but black tape on her boobs and underwear.

You nudge Chloe. “Chlo, what is she meant to be..?”

She giggled a bit before replying, “Who knows.”

You got a bit nervous as you walked on the path leading up to the main door. Spooky Halloween decorations were all over the House, and sometimes you were unable to tell what and what's not a decoration..

A man was standing just inside the door, it seemed like he was waiting for Chloe.

The guy dressed up as Johnny Cage from Mortal Kombat. You'd never seen him before, and he looked a bit intimidating.

You heard Chloe call out to the man. "Kento!" ..So that's his name. You stood behind Chloe like a loser as she gave him a hug. She pulled away and stayed pressed up against him. 

He smiled, "I'm glad you came. And who's this pretty girl?"

Kento turned to you as you looked at Chloe, she held you close to her too and gave you a proper introduction. "This is my best friend and room-mate, I convinced her to come along tonight!"

You returned the smile to him, he seemed like an okay guy. "Hi, nice to meet you."

Chloe winked at you, and you smirked, knowing what it meant. You gave her the look of approval as she took her lasso and tied it around Kento, pulling him to a room somewhere in the house.

You laughed as you made your way to the kitchen, after they disappeared up the stairs. How outrageous.

It was more quiet, which you liked. Making your way to the far end of the kitchen, you opened the fridge and scanned what's inside. You decided to take a small can of Pepsi. You sighed as you turned around, closing the fridge shut with your butt.

The presence of someone behind all along startled you, leaning against the island watching you this whole time. 

"Oh my fuck. Why are you creeping up on people like that?"

It was a person, assumingly a guy, his face covered with a ghostface mask. He was dressed in all black. A simple black fitted tee and jeans. He had a fake knife strapped to his belt.

The mysterious guy took off his mask, and placed it on the counter behind him. Of course, It was Satoru, Chloe's brother.

You let out a labored sigh as you leaned against the fridge, unable to move.

"I'm surprised you showed up tonight, I thought you never will."

You slowly slid to the right trying to escape him, turning your back to face Satoru as you popped the can open on the counter. "...It was a last minute decision."

"Seems like you got a costume too, huh?" Eyes sliding down your body as he finished his sentence.

Your eyes widen, realising your ass was on show to him this whole time. I'll kill this man if he thinks I'm up to no good.

You quickly turn back around to face him with the front of your body, and it didn't do you any justice as he was just met with your almost exposed chest. Party in the front, party in the back.

"I'm not complaining, you look good." he reassured you, trailing his eyes down your body from head to toe.

"..Thanks." Quickly, you took a huge sip from the can as you looked at him. This drink will only un-calm my nerves.

"I'm actually not into parties myself either." he spoke, and you almost choked on your drink.

"You? THE Satoru Gojo? I wasn't expecting that."

"No, I just like more intimate parties. Big ones like these annoy me. I don't know and don't care about 3/4 of the people who are here."

He continued, “You wanna come with? I’m going upstairs. There’s one last free room. And that’s the master room.”

Chloe was already busy, and there wasn’t really anyone else you could talk to around here. You had no choice.

”Hmm, okay. I’ll follow.”

He made sure to grab his mask from the counter, and the two of you left the kitchen.

As you made your way up the stairs, you could feel other girls eyes piercing through your back like daggers. Luckily, they couldn’t recognise you that easily.

By the time you set foot on the upstairs landing, you called out to him. "Satoru," you continued, "Who's room is this even?"

"Suguru’s, but it's cool. He won't give a fuck."

You followed behind him for a bit until you reached the master bedroom.

”Lock the door if you don’t want people coming into this room eating each other’s faces off.”

You blankly stared at him for a bit before turning back around to twist the lock. The music from downstairs turned faint and so did the chatter.

For a frat house, Suguru’s room was actually clean, you expected dirty plates and what-ever-the-fuck to litter the rest of the room, but the only exception was the clothes scattered on the ground. You watched and sat yourself down on the bed as he rummaged through the drawers for something.  Is he… reaching for a.. 

He picked up a lighter from deep inside the drawer, taking a joint out that was untouched from the same drawer, but kept away in a tiny zip bag. Phew.

”You smoke?”

You looked at him. “What do you think?”

”I’m guessing no.” You didn't know if you were to be butthurt by his quick and certain answer, but you don't see a reason why you should be anyways. His words went a bit quiet as he concentrated on sparking the joint between his fingers.

He took a hit from the joint as soon as it was burning perfectly. “Damn, that shits good.”

”Is Suguru not gonna be pissed if he finds out you took that..?” You questioned him.

”..Who do you think sold this stuff to him?” He flashed his famous smile as he saw the priceless look on your face.

You chewed on your lip and looked at the ground. “Oh, right.. yeah.”

You forgot that Satoru was basically the one who sold 🍃 on and off the campus.

He walked over to you, and sat beside you on the edge of the bed. “You don’t wanna try?”

Satoru took another hit before blowing the smoke out on his right side, making sure it doesn’t hit your face.

“I don’t know. I’ve never done it before, plus I’m scared.” You continued, “More scared I’ll start coughing like a bitch that I’d make a fool out of myself.”

Even though the only source of light came from the bedside lamp, you could still see that his eyes were glossy, and at this point a tiny bit bloodshot. “I could teach you, here.”

He held out the joint towards you, the smell was so strong it was probably sticking to your clothes by now.

”Quick, it’s burning away for no reason.”

You held the joint between your fingers like a cigarette, and looked at him for assurance.

”No, not like that.” He took your fingers and placed it properly between your pointer and thumb. “You look like a loser if you hold it like a cigarette.”

”Okay, what now.”

”Do it, take a hit.”

You stared at it before bringing it to your lips. Satoru spoke from beside you.

”Like, almost as if you’re sucking. Make sure it really gets to here.” He points to his chest.

You slightly squint your eyes as you take a mistakingly big hit.

”Now hold it for a bit, then exhale. It’s gonna hit better.”

The joint left your lips as you held it for like two seconds, and you let out a laboured exhale.

“Good girl, see? No coughing.”

You passed it back to him and Satoru takes another hit.

”..How’d I know if it hit me?”

He smirked, “You’ll just know. Don’t worry, I got you.”

All of a sudden, it felt like everything slowed down and your face was being grabbed to the ground.

You felt a bit relaxed knowing that Satoru was beside you, and you managed to take a hit without embarrassing yourself and going all snotty.

Unwillingly, you take the joint back from his hand to take another hit.

”What happened to Ms. I don’t smoke?”

You rolled your eyes before you passed it back to him again. 

Satoru smiled at your reaction before speaking again. “You wanna play a game?” 

Stomach churning, and not really liking where this is going, you answered. “..like what?”

”I ask you a couple questions and you answer, then you do the same to me.”

You snickered. “Isn’t that just called ‘getting to know each other’?”

”Yeah, I just wanted to make it sound more interesting.”

“Okay, why not.”

“How about, if you refuse to answer a question you take off one piece of clothing.”

You looked at him with a , ‘nice try’ face. ”Nuh uh. Not happening. Just ask the questions.”

”Aww, it was worth a shot.”

“Start asking questions or I’ll change my mind,” you changed your position on the bed to lie down on your stomach. It was more comfortable than stiffly sitting on the edge of the bed.

”You ever had a boyfriend?”

”Once. But I was like sixteen.”

Satoru just nods. “Your turn.”

“Did getting your tongue piercing hurt?”

He turned to you and smirked, “I’m surprised you noticed it. But nahh. Not really, it was just the healing process that hurted.”

Your face slightly grew warm, “…Yeah, I noticed it yesterday.”

He just smiles, and asks his second question. “You ever gotten your pussy ate before?”

You swallowed your spit as you propped yourself up slightly. “I’m sorry, what?”

”You heard me.” He takes another hit of the joint even though it’s almost shrunken to the smallest it can be.

You tucked a strand of hair behind your ear. “…No.”

”…Good.” Satoru muttered, but you couldn’t really hear.

It was your turn to ask question again.

”..Why’d you want to get it pierced anyways?”

”Dunno. Why’d you think?”

Silence and tension grew between the two of you. You didn’t know if the naughty answer that crossed your mind was right or wrong. 

You didn’t know if it was the temperature of the room or the shit you smoked. You avoided answering his question.

”…Y-your turn to ask the question.”

His next question came out immediately.

“..Wanna see for yourself?”

Your breath hitched as he spoke. You didn’t know what to say. And you didn’t know what he meant.

”Is that a question you’re using up or are you just saying that… as a joke..”

Satoru stood up and walked over to the dresser, placing his costume props on top. In fact, he took everything out of his pockets and placed it on the dresser. 

You watched him glance at his phone for a bit, reading all the messages from his other homies before placing it down on the dresser and not replying.

A pool was forming between your legs, and you gently clamped them together while still lying down.

You’d be lying if you said you totally didn’t want to strip everything off and be naked by the time he turns back around. But you kept your composure.

Satoru turned back around, walking back to the bed. He sat on the same edge he was on a few minutes ago.

”And what if I do wanna find out,” You spoke, testing the waters.

His voice was laced with honesty. “I don’t want to push you out of your boundaries, we don’t have to do this. We can forget that this happened and my sister won’t ever know I was near you.”

A few thoughts were racing through your mind. I mean, Chloe was busy, you literally had weed in your system and you never thought you would’ve. There’s a first for everything, right?

You gently crawled over across the bed,  closer to him. “…No, I do want you to show me.” Your voice trailed off quietly, you grew shy as you drew back.

He turned his head behind to face you, and was able to see the sincerity in your eyes. Not gonna lie, he was very attractive. And I was literally begging to have his head between my legs.

You came closer to him again, and found yourself placing your lips on his first. The two of you melted into each other, with the lingering sexual tension finally resolved. 

The good girl act no longer existed, and time around you felt like it had stopped. This was something you needed, and you finally got it.

He was extremely gentle with his hands, and softly guided you to move back further onto the bed, placing your head down on the pillow.

You slightly squirmed as he placed his knee between your legs. He pulled away from your neck  before looking at you from above, caressing your cheek with his thumb. 

“Just relax doll, I’ll take care of everything.” He left you with a peck on the lips as he slowly peppered a trail of kisses down your body, going lower and lower.

Your breath hitched as he cupped both of his hands around each of your thighs, kissing your inner thigh as he looked up at you in between.

His hands were cold, and caused your nipples to harden from his touch. But the heat of your body cause him to warm up in no time. He paused for a moment. “Can I?”  Satoru points to your tiny shorts before you responded with a nod. You slid them off and threw them somewhere in the room. You’ll find those later.

You watched as he used his teeth to teasingly slide your thong off your body, down your legs. You grew goosebumps from the feeling of the fabric slowly gliding down your skin.

It was painfully slow, but it made you want him even more. He knew what he was doing, and for your first time getting eaten out, it was like winning the lottery if Satoru was the one doing it.

He took them from his mouth, and placed it in the back pocket of his jeans before kissing past your inner thigh, Satoru placed a wet kiss on your throbbing clit before doing a few small licks with his tongue.

The mixture between the metal of his piercing and tongue made you shudder, causing you to whine and clamp your thighs around his head gently.

You felt Satoru's soft hands grip slightly your skin firmer, spreading your legs more apart and keeping them wide open for him. You were expecting his hands to be cold, but surprisingly your skin was met with his warm touch. He sucked on your clit gently, before lapping at it again hungrily.

Your two hands were occupied themselves, one grabbed onto his hair and the other clutched onto the sheets beside you. He only pushed his tongue deeper into you, basically gently fucking your hole with it.

Practically losing your mind from how good Satoru made you feel, you could tell he was enjoying every single noise and reaction you made. You felt the way he smiled against your dripping cunt as he cycled from sucking to licking.

”…Don’t.. stop..” you continued, in short breaths. “…Please”

He hummed gently with his eyes closed, his lips glossed with his spit and the juices from your pussy, and the sound of someone’s phone ringing echoed in your ears, releasing you from your trance.

You looked down at him annoyed as he hauled his head up from your legs. “Not my phone, mines silent on the dresser.”

You turned to the far end of the bed to your left and saw your phone screen was flashing. Reaching for it, you saw Chloe was the one calling.

Turning the phone screen for Satoru to see, he squinted his eyes a bit to read who the caller was. “You can answer,”

Before answering the call you laughed a bit, as you saw how ridiculous you made him look after grabbing his hair.

”Chloe?” You watched Satoru as he tried to listen in on the conversation.

He whispered, “Put it on speaker.”

You nodded, and Chloe could be heard on the other line speaking.

”Hey girl, just checking on you. You okay?” You heard her and Kento giggle as she tried to speak over the phone. But it was a bit louder around her, so that means they were with a bunch of other people now.

”Yeah, I’m…” Your eyes widen and flutter as felt as Satoru placed his head back down between your thighs, slowly and slightly lapping at your clit again with the cold metal orb on his tongue causing you to throb again.

You felt as he carelessly swirled his tongue around like there’s no tomorrow, but this time he let one of your legs go and thrusted a finger in and out of your hole, emitting a squelching noise as he continuously sucked, stimulating you like crazy.

The pleasure overwhelmed you, and you had to bite down on your bottom lip to suppress a moan.

”Heyyy, you there?”

You were unable to answer as your own words became nothing but breathy as you try to form a sentence.

”…Y-Yeah, everything’s fine. I’m in the…b-bathroom.” You felt his lips curl into a smirk against your inner thigh for a second time as he heard your little lie over the phone.

You furrow your brows, making an “O” shape with your mouth.

Your hand holding the phone fell flat onto the bed, and by now you were no longer listening to whatever Chloe was saying on the other side of the line. Your mind was clouded, and the knot in your stomach tightened as you felt an orgasm approaching.

Lucky for you, Chloe ended the call less than ten seconds ago as it seems like she was busy with something else. Hopefully Kento.

He felt the way you quivered even more than last time, and held one of your legs over his left shoulder as he thrusted another finger in, still lapping and sucking at your dripping cunt as your breathing quickened, becoming irregular.

”Cum all over my face,” He murmured against your warm lips, and that did it for you. You liked the way he was gentle with his hands, slowly using one to rub your thigh on his left shoulder. He was deep in there, and he ate your pussy like it was a five course meal.

You watched as him as you rode out your orgasm, your head falling back against the pillow. Your mind was all over the place as you endlessly squirted all over his fingers that curled inside of you to aid your high, and felt as you slightly pushed your body more towards him.

“S-shit..” Was all you could say. You saw the way the piercing was exposed for a split second as he stuck his tongue out, the juices from your release dripping all over his mouth.

As he gently pulled away from between your legs, a ‘pop’ noise was heard after he gave your clit one last suck. 

You couldn’t help but laugh at the way his face was soaking wet.  Luckily it didn’t go past his above nose. Or he’d be partially blind for the rest of the night.

The neck of his shirt managed to be slightly soaked with splatters from your juices. But he didn’t care.

“..You got a little something on your face..” You say, pointing to your mouth with your finger to tell him where it was.

He smiled, and you watched as he used his tongue to wipe the corners of his mouth, but took a random towel hanging off the door to wipe the rest off his cheek.

“Damn, Suguru’s gonna be pissed when he sees how soaked his sheets are.” Satoru laughed as he looked at you still with your legs spread out, trying to recover.

No can do, the towel that was previously used by Satoru was passed to you after.

The wet circle underneath you had expanded from soaking into the sheets for too long. Satoru grabs your shorts that landed just in front of the door and tossed them back to you, but as he walked away a knock could be heard.

It was Suguru, of course it was. “Yo, whoever’s in there is cheeky enough to lock my own damn door!”

You quickly slid on your shorts as you turned to the body mirror beside you, combing your hair with your fingers.

Honestly, you were a bit upset that your fun was cut short. But you couldn’t stay for too long or eventually someone would break the door down.

“Man shut the hell up, it’s me, Satoru. I’m in here.” He responded. You watched him in the mirror as he slowly came up behind you, turning you around and gave you a sweet peck on the lips. Making sure you knew he didn’t just want to leave you hanging like that. That you weren’t just a toy to him.

The two of you walked to the door, twisting the lock to it. “Here, you go out first. I’m right behind you.”

You nod as you left the room, and shyly smiled at Suguru on your way out who was dumbfounded, followed by Satoru behind you.

And of course, Suguru couldn’t help but notice your pink thong that was still hanging off Satoru’s back pocket.

I just finished the first Old Guard comic, and to celebrate, I have come to pester you. >:3

How do you think the Old Guard and the Eternals meeting would go down? If you would prefer to get particular, how do you think our girls Andy and Sersi would get on? They have so much in common—and yet are so different—that I like to think they’d be best friends. XD

But your thoughts, my friend? :)

CONGRATS ON FINISHING PESTER ME AS MUCH AS YOU WANT

I'm imagining this is mainly the MCU so after shit like aliens and Norse gods and the blip, people aren't too concerned with immortals anymore and the Guard can lead cool, chill lives whenever they just wanna settle down for awhile. They still go and fight the good fight because that's their mission in life, but they don't have to stress as much anymore about being noticed for their immortality. It took awhile to get used to but it's all good.

So: Eternals and Old Guard meeting. I think there'd be some initial conflict over their philosophies as a group, since the Guard's is "help people and interfere whenever" and the Eternals is "don't interfere outside of deviants". But if it's post Eternals, they've kinda gotten over all that. Sometimes it takes a few centuries to figure things out, they all have that in common!

I think they'd have several moments of just sharing stories and going !!! THAT WAS YOU!!!!! like Andy was hearing all these stories about demigods and gods and stuff since forever and was like yeah sure whatever BUT NO THEY WERE REAL THE WHOLE TIME!!!! THEY'RE SITTING RIGHT IN FRONT OF HER!!! and the eternals have obvs probably heard stories about xyz events the guard was involved with and they're like OH MY GODDDD- plus probably some close calls or actually meeting each other only to go several decades/centuries without seeing them and then forgetting about it entirely.

wait lmao imagine the guard have all seen Kingo's movies??? Kingo's yelling at the eternals like SEE THE OTHER IMMORTAL GANG HAVE SEEN THEM WHY HAVEN'T YOU GUYS?!?!?!

smth about JoeNicky and Phastos??? the immortal husbands and the immortal x mortal husband (with a kid even???)? there's something there i don't have the words yet.

Thena and Andy sparring together would be so sexy of them just saying.... oh Gilgamesh makes a big dinner for all of them and Andy and JoeNicky are all like WHERE DID YOU GET THIS RECIPE WE HAVEN'T HAD THIS IN CENTURIES???? and Gil's just like It's a secret bc he's mischievous like that.

BUT ANYWAY OUR GIRLS!!!! oh Andy and Sersi as a duo would be real interesting... Andy who has been leading the group for centuries vs Sersi who just had the role thrust upon her, Andy who tries to close herself off and isolates herself from humanity vs Sersi who always makes herself part of a community, Andy who's never not been a warrior vs Sersi who has never been a warrior (she can help in battle but it's clear that's not what her role is)... but also Andy and Sersi who have been betrayed by people they loved and trusted, Andy and Sersi who just keep on trying their best to help humanity despite the odds against them, Andy and Sersi with their mother figures who left them in the role of leader after betraying them and dying (Andy comics canon)... also Andy and Sersi both having Greek myth counterparts!!! Andromache of Troy and Circe!!!

I think Andy would warm up to Sersi pretty fast (or at least fast for Andy) because Sersi is naturally a very warm person and easy to befriend. they both have a very different approach to life and immortality because their experiences with it are so different. I think they would have good conversations about it, some decent discussions about humanity as well. if it's post betrayal by Booker/Ikaris/Sprite/Ajak as well they'd probably bond over "HOW DID I NOT SEE IT COMING!!!!"

Imagine Andy and Sersi going through each other's little museums of trinkets and things collected over the millennia??? they'd have a field day with each other's stuff and swapping stories.

they'd absolutely be the grumpy x sunshine kinda friends.

With a Dash of Jealousy

A Lucille, Chef Demon and Natashya short ~

--

You ever have that thing that you know shouldn't bother you... you know it's childish to let it get under your skin, but you just can't help it? That thing that boils just below the surface until you just can't hold it in any longer?

Well...

-

"Hey, chef, you wouldn't believe the day I just had!" Luc walked into the room with a beaming, pink smile and her phone in hand. I closed the book I was trying to focus on and gave her my attention. My phone was face down on the table next to the couch, at the ready...

"Could it be that you... I don't know... ate food?" I quipped, fingers brushing my phone, knowing already what she was going to say.

She gave a little laugh. "Am I really that predictable?" That was my cue. I snorted, reaching for my phone.

"Yes, but also..." I flipped it over and touched the screen to re-brighten the dimming screen. It was a photo she'd posted an hour prior of the food she was devouring. Rather... the table-sized amount of food she'd surely managed to actually finish. Especially since I saw no doggie bag. She gave a little sheepish grin, face flushing a bit more.

"Mmm, cheating on me, are we?" I asked as I stood to go to the kitchen, knowing she'd follow (which she of course did).

"No, I'd never!" She sounded so serious. It was adorable. "But uhm... they were really good. It's too bad you couldn't join me." She used the little pouty tone that always got her her way... well, almost always.

"Yeah, well I had things to do." She glanced around the place and giggled a little.

"Cleaning up after me?" She asked. I turned to face her, eyebrow cocked, only making her giggle again.

"Well, I met the most interesting woman!" I made a face, remembering the last time she said something like that.

"You did..." I grumbled. Sometimes I wondered if she was more interested in other women than she was in me. She giggled, ruffling my hair like a child.

"Oh, don't look so upset! You're still my favorite!" She teased with yet another giggle. I rolled my eyes.

"So... tell me about this mystery woman." Her hand instantly flew away from my head as I went to grab her favorite beverage - a Coke - and a glass to pour for her while she dove straight into obsessively describing the woman. By the time she finished, I had a clear and vivid image of her in my head.

"Ah... sounds like you have a crush," I said, my tone casual but a little ping of something in my gut.

"Oh, no no no, it isn't anything like that... but my, she really was something!" Her eyes gleamed as it went silent for a moment. I slid the drink over to her as she stared off, clearly remembering this mystery woman. That ping returned again and I cleared my throat just as the glass crashed to the floor.

"Shit! Sorry," she cursed, going to grab the glass.

"Wait!" I dove on the island countertop to stop her but she picked up the glass and cut her hand pretty deeply.

"Fuck!" She hissed, sucking on the cut. I groaned.

"Come, my little devil... let's get that mess cleaned up before you make another mess on top of the one you've already created." I put my hand on her head, leading her toward the kitchen door. She starting huffing objections but I shushed every one. "Miss devil comes first. We'll clean up the coke and glass later."

She continued to protest the whole way until I sat her down on the toilet with a stern look in my eyes. "Sit still. This shouldn't take long if you just sit still." She silenced her protests and sighed, offering the injured finger. I stared at it, taking it gingerly into my hands and heaved a sigh, shaking my head.

"You've really got to be careful. You are in a human body. You're going to end up giving yourself a serious injury if you keep acting so recklessly."

"I'm not used to being mortal," she mumbled, looking away with another pout. I couldn't help but to give the tiniest smile but only continued to gently chide her.

"Exactly. You're used to being able to be reckless. Take it from me... be careful. I don't need you returning to hell without me." She glanced up at me with a look I didn't recognize on her face and it startled me for a moment before I looked away with a blush coloring my cheeks and ears.

"There. Good as new." I offered her her injured finger back. "Now go get your drink. You did well." I patted her head as she stood to bound back out toward the kitchen.

Before I could turn to clean up the wrapper from the band-aid, I heard a loud THUD.

"Oww...." She groaned from the kitchen. Sighing, I shook my head and followed her out, but not before scooping up the wrapper pieces.

"You clutz. What did I just say?" I asked her, staring at where she slumped on the floor, holding her head.

TO BE CONTINUED...

☀️There Can Only Be ONE Best Boy☀️ - Total Drama Viewer Reacts to Disventure Camp Season 1 Episode 4 “Slip N Slide”

I decided, for both to give my followers less of spoilers and for some flare, I would cheaply draw over some screenshots.

For the Purple Team's reward, they got a waterproof tent. But they neglected the fireproof tent as a result, and the producers weren't careful with last challenge.

Nick would be, understandably, terrified of the place, and Alec would be like "Wow, this is an improvement" but look at it so stoically.

So, welcome back to Arson Camp!

Let us continue with the chaos!

Fiore's chilling by the fires, probably writing some AO3 fanfics.

What fandom would Fiore be in? I'm curious.

I feel like this six year old would be into something violent like Mortal Kombat.

"A girl like you should not be awake at this hour."

*looks over at my clock*

Lilly you don't have to call me out like that.

"I don't even listen to my own mom and she thinks she can control me?!"

If you weren't six, I would say slay and tell them what's for...

But you're six. So...

"If you were feeling safe, I've got bad news for you."

Welp, Lilly's gone. I called it.

OH GOD NO!!!

WHY?!?!??!?! HOW DOES THIS BENEFIT YOU!??!??!?!?!

I feel like this was my fault because I made the fire joke.

Fiore was like, "You know, I had this weird feeling that some viewer named AnalyzGolden was watching us and she told me to burn shit. And now I suddenly have the urge to do it."

Goddammit me.

What next? The characters in that heading get eliminated today?

The subtitle again. I CAN'T with these parenthesis XD

(I have subtitles on because sometimes I mishear stuff when I watch stuff the first time)

"I'm not going to be part of this argument."

*holds back a laugh* Alec's actually so based for that.

Y'all want less DRAMA in TOTAL DRAMA?

Simple answer.

You just walk away from it.

"I think I know who did it." *Among Us Music*

*chokes on breath*

NO. NO.

DID I HEAR THAT RIGHT?!?!

*rewinds*

NO THEY ACTUALLY DID THAT. OMG.

THEY MADE THE JOKE FOR ME.

I was making several Among Us jokes last episode.

I feel like I've become some overlord and they somehow hear me and do what I tell them.

"For some reason Golden is telling me I'm very SUS... huh, wonder what that means."

Fiore if you can hear me. I didn't say you had slay pass. I never said that.

The only one I gave slay pass was Grett.

You have to earn yours.

"Lill?! What in queen's name did you do?!" *sound effect*

Okay. Now it's getting a bit crazy.

"I don't think Lill would do this to us."

THANK YOU. THANK YOU ASHLEY.

"It's about psychology in different kinds of people."

"It says here that people who enter reality competitions and get tempted by money have the tendency to become more ruthless and emotionally manipulative to their advantage, derailing their personalities. If you'd like some examples from the many seasons of Total Drama, I'd be happy to give you an analogy."

"What makes you think I wouldn't want to read it?"

You're six.

"Well... fair point."

Okay. I guess that's not a point.

"It's a drawing. My son drew it for me."

Alec has a family?

I mean he did look older, I admit, but I didn't think anyone here had kids.

So is Alec in this game to help his family with funds? We got another one.

'List of Motives:'

'Fiore: Abandoned'

'Ashley: Save Farm'

'Jake: Help Grandma'

'Tom: Sus'

'Nick: Prove Himself'

'Alec: Family'

'Everyone else: ???'

"I'm just as confused as you."

I have NO IDEA what happened AT ALL. It totally wasn't me who flipped. I was sure Drew was the impostor!

"Then what if Drew voted for himself?"

He said 'Fuck this shit I'm out'.

"He knew things I didn't want anyone to know."

"I just can't tell anyone about my hobbies, okay?!"

"As long as Grett doesn't tell either of them I should be fine."

Hey Grett. Maybe you should tell Jake something. Just a thought.

...

WAIT I SAID THAT AS A JOKE, HOLD ON-

"For some reason I have the urge to tell Jake something. Huh, wonder who this Golden Voice is."

"I voted for Gabby because the boys told me to."

Was it Dan that suggested Gabby??

*looks back*

Actually no it wasn't. I was gonna call hypocrisy, but that'd be me complaining about something that's not there. Okay.

Alright I won't bully him. This time.

"Nobody can be trusted here."

"Nobody can be trusted here-anyway, Tom, who never shows his face, can I trust that you'll vote with me?"

"I'm disappointed that Dan voted for me."

Oh, you're actually affected by that. Wow.

Okay, here you go Gabby. You can have slay pass. ⚔️

Use it for whatever you want to eliminate with. If you want to use it on Dan, go ahead. I don't care if he goes tbh.

I just realized most of my favs are on the same team XD

Oooh, swimming episode!

Tom is STILL in his suit XD

"Hey uh, Tom, the sun can't reach you if you're underwater. I don't think you need to be wearing that. You don't want to get your normal clothes wet, right?"

"Eh I never found use for a swimsuit anyway! Besides! The sun will dry them up quickly!"

"Doesn't that go against what you told us earlier?!"

"My relationship with the sun does not concern you! No it's not toxic what are you talking about?!"

But he's not wearing the hoodie anymore! That's an improvement!

I feel like we're gonna get a Tom face reveal at some point, right?

Oooh.

I didn't think there would be a cabin.

And a phone to call home? PLEASE tell me they take advantage of this and we learn more about these characters homelives!

"You're not yelling and talking nonsense... I like it."

Grett. You're so awful. I love you.

I have such BAD TASTES for favorites, don't I?

(Idk who the fan favorites/hated characters are)

That's not an english subtitle.

...I'm not gonna say anything further than that, cause I'm scared that the joke in my head is very offensive.

"What did you expect? Nobody likes you and everyone thinks you're crazy."

I... I mean technically she's right. Doesn't make it right to rub salt in the wound though.

I still love you Gabby. Don't worry.

"Have you lied to me too?"

"Of course."

Oh WOW.

I did NOT expect her to just be blunt and honest like that.

Why is a VILLAIN character so honest about what they do? That's such a unique character trait. I love how they're using it.

"For what it's worth, I believe you."

"You have no reason to lie. I've known you for a few days and you always put this alliance first."

THANK YOU ASHLEY FOR BEING THE SMART ONE ON THIS TEAM.

Fiore struggling to paddle, omg

"My hands are killing me. You think you can row for me if I pay you?"

Nick...

Nick, I'm waiting patiently for your character development. You better deliver cause you've annoyed me this episode and last episode. Jake's gonna take crown for best boy if you're not careful.

Also, she's a KID and can't even hold one paddle right.

"I'm already tired of always eating fish."

Yeah, that has to get tedious after awhile, especially if you guys are THAT hungry and have no choice.

I hate seafood. I wouldn't survive.

"What are you craving?"

"Chinese takeout. I always order that at home."

My sibling actually loves Chinese as well... I'm a Mexican person, though.

"There's a restaurant I live near that'll knock your socks off. We should go when this is over."

TOM. Are you... ASKING HIM OUT?!

"Hey, your eyes... they're pretty. I never noticed since you've always got that hood on."

AWWW AND THE RETURNED FLIRT?!

THE BLUSH, OMG

...yeah I kinda hope you kiss now.

This is how you make relationships Total Drama. You meet. You get along. And you be cute.

And I am waiting for this to go horribly wrong cause in shows like this, nobody gets a happy ending.

Except Mike & Zoey I guess.

"Maybe them fighting is good news."

"If we found popcorn it would be a fun movie to watch. I'm just saying."

"Honestly, a million dollars would make my life so much better."

"What would you spend the money on?"

"I want to study fashion design. Just don't have the time or money. Back home, I have to juggle two jobs that barely keep me afloat."

That has to be THE most relatable Young Adult experience ever.

I hate that I have a privilege from my parents to go to a college I don't even like.

Add that to the list...

'Ellie: College Finance'

"*Ellie clicks the check*

*Spawns an ad on USAA*

OH NO! THEY LIED!!!

Ellie's real fear is her finances XD"

I PREDICTED THIS LAST EPISODE AND I DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE IT

"Dear lord up above, why must you forsaken me on a canoe with this wretched child?!"

THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING!!

Stop hating Dan, me. He didn't do anything.

And two seconds later I laugh at his expense 😂

"It's not the first time I've done this."

"Back in my day we had to canoe rapids just to get to school!"

"Back in grade school-"

Oh my god and she took my joke.

"The objective of the game is to knock your opponent into the lake."

*shoves Dan in the lake*

"Hey you guys talk about this Golden voice lately, I think she's bullying me. Why you bullying me?"

Do something and don't be sexist.

"First showdown will be Tom vs Alec"

If Tom loses this I'm in firm disbelief.

He has ninja skills.

Why is Jake the only one cheering and supporting his teammate?

This boy is precious. Look at him. He's PRECIOUS.

"Next showdown: Grett vs Ellie"

Sorry Ellie. I do like you, I swear.

THAT WAS A ONE SHOT. GEEZ.

"Golden told me to SLAY. So I slayed!" 💅

"Next up: Gabby vs Lill"

Gabby for the win?

Oh she's GOING THERE

"You forgot: Golden gave ME slay pass too!!"

Aw, she lost.

I guess that makes sense though cause it would be too easy.

"Hey that's not fair! She used Gabby's duel stick!"

"Eh it looked painful though so I'll allow it."

Chris McLean taught you well.

"Next showdown: Dan vs Ashley"

Kick his ass, Ashley.

GREAT. XD

OMG are you kidding me?! XD

"We too are aware of Golden's presence! So we decided to entertain her with pinning the best boys against each other!"

"Sorry Golden, but here in Disventure Camp, THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE BEST BOY."

OH GOD HE'S PISSED

NUT SHOT

I REPEAT. WE HAVE A NUT SHOT.

"Jake scores! The Teal Team win Immunity and reward!"

Welp, guess that's that. The show has decided.

Unless Nick stays, which is pretty likely, so.

FOR NOW, Jake has my crown as best boy. We stan a guy who has no shame in denying another guy the right to have kids.

"See that's my own personal true personality reveal Golden! I'm an asshole too, just like Grett! Don't you love me?!"

Yes. Yes I do.

"Listen Nick, can we talk?"

Yes. Please talk. Please work things out.

"I think I've heard enough this morning to decide who I'm voting for."

"You don't have to behave like that, Nick!"

Why is Ashley the most reasonable character on this team?!

TELL HIM OFF.

"At least give Lill a chance!"

"I've already made my decision. Cheers."

Now I have even less regrets siding with Jake over you.

"I think we should vote together and take control of the team."

And here's where Alec and Ellie become swing votes.

Ellie's just the outlier here. "Um... I didn't ask to be a part of the villains team, why am I put on it? I didn't do anything wrong!"

I didn't put you there, Ellie. That was not me this time.

"I feel like I can be myself around them."

Ellie meanwhile, "WHERE'S THE EXIT?! SAVE MEEEEEE"

"Lill, it genuinely frightens me that you handle kids."

Just shut up.

"If I had a kid, I wouldn't let em anywhere near you."

"And I never will because SOMEONE busted my balls today!"

Ashley, once again, being the most reasonable one here.

'LILL'

Yeah, yeah, we know.

'FIORE'

'FIORE'

'NICK'

O_O

OH. GOD.

'NICK'

I-

I-

I FEEL LIKE THIS WAS MY FAULT.

I SHOULD NOT HAVE PUT HIM IN THE HEADING.

I CAUSED THIS.

"Because you're one of the worst in the challenges. Also, I can't stand you."

Wow. It really was that petty.

Tom, what ninja shit are you doing this time?

Pfft. He's a bad spy.

"Uh, I am standing right here and can see you!"

Alright, that was Episode 4...

Damn. I shouldn't have put Nick in the heading. I cursed him and caused his elimination.

I thought they were setting up a lot of character development for him cause I felt like he had an interesting story with his parents and wanting to prove himself...

But no. He did absolutely none of that and continued to be a spoiled lazy entitled snob up till his elimination.

And like... sure? If you need early boots?

Why couldn't it be Dan? Smh

This episode took what I said last episode and said "UH UH. You can only have one best boy as your choice. That's the rule." And forced them to fight for that position.

But if we had to choose between the two, I can't argue with Jake.

Idk who the favorites/hated characters are, and I feel like I have bad taste. One's an actual bitch and very open about it. But you know what? Gabby and Jake are sweethearts who deserve to be stanned.

Gabby is fun. She's full of personality. People are outcasting her for no reason and it's sad. I want Gabby to use her slay pass and revolt. Girl has done nothing wrong in her entire life.

And Jake? Come on. He's precious. He's a sweetheart. Look at him. And he takes no shit apparently. Man has done nothing wrong in his entire life.

I feel like Lilly's going next just cause she knows too much. But if that leaves Ashley alone to be the saving grace of the team till the merge I can't argue. I like her quite a bit.

I also like that Ellie and Alec are doing stuff now. Oh how the tables have turned.

They both have motives that are quite empathetic. It's so nice.

Why you working with the demon child though?

"I didn't ask to be put in hell with her Golden! I just wanted to make fashion! LET ME OUT!!!"

#SaveEllie

If you guys want me to continue these reactions, be sure to let me know.

[illmetkismet]

for the character thing, the outsider?

🙏🙏🙏 thank you so much, and a please accept my preemptive apology for the essay this will probably become...

How I feel about this character: I was saving this one for last from the batch of asks I got for this game, because the Outsider is my specialest boy of all time 🥹 I played D1 and was like, 'oooh how fun and sexy, a mysterious Void god!' but then D2 happened with the whole Omelas-ass reveal and my brain melted like a caterpillar in its chrysalis into a soup of sadness and suffering from which the beautiful butterfly of my borderline-unhealthy obsession with the Outsider emerged. You can't just give me a character who's a metaphor for isolation, expulsion, and profound loneliness, and not expect me to pick him up and put him in my pocket forever. Do I project onto him? Over-identify, even? Yeah, shut up, so whaaaaaat? Aren't all of us trapped in a Void of our own, really? Who here hasn't been forever altered by the cruelty of others? And who among us isn't constantly sticking their fingers in the pie of life, poking around in there, hoping against hope to find some glimmer of goodness and hope and joy? Who isn't sick of all this shit and just wants to rest?? Ha ha as you can see I'm totally normal about him.

All the people I ship romantically with this character: Just Corvo. He fascinates the Outsider, he surprises him, he's the catalyst for the kind of moments the Outsider says he waits for (this is, crucially, a line you only get from him after the low chaos Burrows elimination). I think the Outsider's been searching for someone who won't disappoint him for such a long time, someone he could give a piece of himself to who won't turn around and do something terrible with it. Like.... Come on! That's it, for me. To love is to give yourself away a little bit, to be surprised when the person who receives that gift treats it with the seriousness and consideration it deserves. And that's Corvosider 🖤🖤🖤

My non-romantic OTP for this character: Billie's whole journey to find him, and the understanding she comes to about him means so much to me.... 100% they become friends post-DotO. Letting him live is her way of letting herself live, to put her past behind her and prove to herself, once and for all, that she's more than a killer. And for the Outsider, she's the one person who could best understand the truth of what he is, how he was made into what he is, because in a way she's had the same done to her. The world fucked them both over so hard and forced them into these untenable positions that caused them both so much pain.... Oh god I have to stop thinking about this. They're best bros for life, next question!

My unpopular opinion about this character: I definitely prefer D2 Outsider over D1. I know ppl were very invested into the whole whale god thing, but his human sacrifice backstory was what really did it for me. Plus I love the way Robin Lord Taylor voiced him - the Hollows speeches in DotO make me so fucking emotional... He does a great job of going from bitchy to breathily earnest, and the emotional whiplash that gives me is very fun. Plus the way he scrunches his nose a little sometimes! Aaaaaa D2 Outsider my favorite son!

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: Obviously I really really really wanted to see what he would get up to after he became human again, cause uh, I wrote a novel about it lol.... But one thing I really wanted to see, that I didn't even do myself, was for the Outsider to go meet Sokolov, finally, as a mortal. I think that would be such great closure for both of them: for Sokolov to see indisputable proof that the power he was chasing was terrible and cruel (something he realized for himself in his final years, but meeting the Outsider would have driven this home beautifully), and for the Outsider to conclusively put away his old fickle relationship with humanity. For both of them to see each other as human beings, to really understand how fucked up the way they related to each other was. I'd love that!

[starheirxero]

Hey I'm here again

do you want more things to go insane over like that time with battle axe ruin

anyways what if lunars star power got too out of hand and he just melts a bit like maybe an arm or a leg just goes all gloopy ooh and yk what maybe an eye too? I wonder how much Gemini would be freaked out, especially in toxic yuri world

SOUL HOLY SHIT /POS

Please excuse me for constantly making UTMV comparisons here but THIS COULD LITERALLY BE LIKE DETERMINATION THAT MAKES GENO AND KILLER MELT SOMETIMES THATS SO FUUUUNNNNN!!!!!!!!

Could u imagine if, in our universe, Lunar complained about feeling sort of "boneless" after they push a bit too far in training and the twins chalk up to typical mortal exhaustion until Pollux pats Lunar's shoulder in encouragement and when she pulls her hand back there's just strings of melted plastic and silicone sticking to her hand and they're all just OH HAHA. OKAY. YEA THATS NOT SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN. WHAT THE FUCK.

WITH LUNARA TOO UGHHHH THEY'D BE SUCH A LITTLE SHIT ABOUT IT I JUST KNOW IT. I think Gemini would be the only there worried about it. I have such a vivid scene in my head of Lunara looking Gemini dead in the eyes and going "hey, wanna see something cool?" and they smack their hands together and the sound is just a little too squelch-y and when they pull their hands apart its like those commercials of super melty stringy pizza on cheese and parts of their endo are showing and they just grin and go "blehggg 😝" like a little freak /aff

Honestly tho if it happened for the first time mid-fight when I actually would like to imagine Gemini is so violently caught off guard and freaked out because mortals of any kind are NOT supposed to MELT LIKE THAT and they call off the fight in favor of not having Lunara's body actively cave in on itself. not bc they care tho its not like that they swear, its... just because then it wouldn't be a proper fight. yea. they just want a fair fight.

OR WAIT WAIT WAIT. SORRY AGAIN FOR ANOTHER UTMV CONNECTION BUT WHAT IF IT WAS SOMETHING LIKE THIS COMIC. The dialogue and personality isn't quite right for them BUT THE GENERAL STRUCTURE, YK......

[aniron48]

Let’s play a game. Send me a potential AU and I’ll tell you five fun facts that would happen in a story

is it a low hanging fruit? yes. sometimes low hanging fruit is delicious.

bond's secret to his talent for resurrection is... resurrection. he has been dying his hair increasingly grey to look older over the years. he Does Not examine any similarities between M and Andromache. he is Not Going To fall in love with a mortal again, green eyes and adorable laugh be damned.

@dude-watchin-with-the-brontes hello friend! thank you for the AU ask! Oooh, "The Old Guard" AU for James Bond, let's do this! 😁

Well, first of all, in this AU, Vesper is the one who gets put into the Iron Maiden and dropped in the ocean Oh wait, this was supposed to be fun facts! Right! haha... ::sweats nervously and starts over::

The relationship between The Old Guard and MI6 is a special one. In this AU, one of Booker's children lived long enough to have children of his own, and Booker's identity became a family secret that was passed down through the generations. The last in the chain? Dench!M. (This at least partially explains her exasperated fondness for blond, broody alcoholics who don't follow the rules.)

2. When Bond dies for the first time (Moneypenny still shoots him off a bridge because in this AU I will give the people what we want--it's me, I'm people), the connection between Andromache's band of immortals and MI6 grows stronger, if more complicated. Andromache is the one to fish Bond out of that river in Turkey, and to bring him back to London when MI6 is under attack. When she does, Andromache and M eventually reach an uneasy truce whereby Bond can remain under M's command...for now.

3. Smart Blood trackers won't work on Bond--every time he dies they go offline and don't come back up. Bond has been known to use this fact to his advantage a time or two (shocking, I know). Q is going to figure it out eventually.

4. Meanwhile, over in the U.S., Copley has roped Felix into helping him find suitable missions for TOG. The first time Felix and Bond, unbeknownst to each other, show up at the same meeting after Bond's initial resurrection, it's like that meme of the Spidermen (Spidermans?) pointing at each other.

5. Once Q becomes immortal, too (because he's going to, obviously, I do what I want), the band gives Bond advice that is varying degrees of useful about how he should finally get his shit together and woo Q for the long term. Nicky suggests cooking a meal (goose fat cassoulet anyone?). Joe offers to help with a poem. Andy's suggestion of repeated mortal combat and mutual murder is greeted with some skepticism until everyone remembers how Joe and Nicky got together. Nile's all set to curate a romantic playlist until they get derailed by Bond's love for Celine Dion (I *will* die on this hill). Booker suggests drinks and everyone winces uh, flowers?

Sometimes low-hanging fruit IS delicious! What are your other fun facts for this AU? (Bond dying his hair grey at the temples absolutely sends me, btw.) I would love to hear them! 💜

[archivalofsins]

Hey, how ya feeling? How's your mood? Nobody asked but it's somewhere between sick and tired. If you're wondering. Oh, or it's always some level of this in the background at all times.

Like I have a bone to pick with Caligula Effect 2 for the emotional damage it hit me with right from the gate and with Sasara and Machina's stories in particular.

As someone who has constantly had to reckon with the concept of mortality since they were born- This narrative seemed incredibly mishandled in comparison to everything else. You have the other go home club members and the musicians' problems and these two are just over here reckoning with the existential dread that comes with knowing you are going to die.

One of them one day soon and the other who knows when. I was playing this and talking to Sasara during her like dive deeper and when I said I understood where she was coming from I wasn't trying to be fucking nice I genuinely understood where she was coming from. I was born with seriously bad asthma I learned that I can die literally directly after I learned words because it was explained to me I could when I understood words.

In order to explain why yeah you need to sleep with this breathing machine on, why, because if you don't you have a high chance of your breathing ceasing in your sleep and you die, what's that, it's when you stop existing don't worry it happens to everyone. I spent the first seven years of my life going to sleep with the lingering idea of death over my head. It is not comparable to the other issues displayed here.

Having the game start off on that for people with experiences like mine gives this impression of seriousness that the rest of the story fails to properly deliver on that ultimately comes off belittling to the fact that the concept was brought up at all. Song is amazing as hell but I wanted to punch this game in the face when Sasara had the audacity to ask Machina if he was over his fear of death.

I literally said no he's not because that's not how that fucking works but he at least probably knows he wants to live, and he can't remain in constant fear of death while trying to do that. Like I understand wanting to rush towards death and met a fulfilling end on your own terms instead of just waiting for it to happen one day as Sasara continually does throughout two, I understand being afraid of the sometimes slow and sadly at times very quick demise an degradation of everything around you.

I understand this quite well. Yet having that compared that very ever present and life freezing fear and wait for the inevitable brough up right before going into a story about idols and burnout. That's a jarring shift in tone. One of these people is having a fucking existential crisis at their first run in with death and the other is bitter over an asshole idol.

I know everyone's struggles are different but it's very demeaning. Then they even have Machina pseudo die in the plot the thing he was most afraid of happening and it kind of plays this off as humorous while I'm just here like bet. It isn't lost on me that it took a near death experience for him to realize he wanted to live and there were in fact a lot of things he wants to do with his life. Yet...literally no one else here had to face their fears at all.

So, it's kind of weird this was put in to what? Fuck with people who actually share this fear that shit was wild. I was just was shocked into silence it was like I know you're treating this seriously yet at the same time is this a fucking joke to you kept running through my mind given my own experiences. It wouldn't have been wild if his near death experience made him even more afraid. It's good it didn't but still.

It was a mix of I understand but I'm soooo angry right now you wouldn't believe. It was like accurate depictions but fuck you. It was like decent but if given the choice between accepting this as fine or burning the code of this game with a flamethrower out of spite I'd choose the latter. Well, that just means he properly depicted the trauma and recognized everyone's struggles would be different and included various different struggles to better highlight a wider group of people. This was pretty inclusive.

That's not bad writing, that's a good thing. Yeah, you're right. That's why the game is good. People should play it.

However, it's important to recognize that the overarching theme of Caligula Effect 2 is death. Coming to terms with it and the many ways it can happen. Be it through one's own will, murder, natural causes, or happenstance. From that standpoint starting with Sasara and Machina makes thematic sense. However, it can dampen the stakes in every other instance after. Making them come off to some players as petty arguments that honestly did not need to happen at points if one were to compare those parts in isolation.

From insulting someone else's attempts at art, to arguing about idol culture- Never really picking back up that severity until like Shota's area and the choice with Marie. In comparison to dealing with the reality of one's mortality, deciding whether or not to die to make sure all of your friends can get out of here safely or tough it out with the unknown (Marie), to deciding to end your own life due to all the responsibilities and pressures thrusted upon you by others and society along with a lack of support (Regret).

I can thematically understand something and be like this was not it this theme at times felt really disconnected from the rest of the story and own a personal level offended me. I can also recognize a personal issue as a personal issues.

None of this makes this a bad game. It's a good game. It has good writing and characters. This just means my experience with it was ultimately impacted by my own relation to the theme of the work outside of the work itself. Now for all I know they expected and hoped people with that particular issue would play the game and learn something from it.

However, I'm at a point where I'm comfortable saying that lesson simply was not meant for me. I was at a point in my life where that would be counterproductive and most of what it set out to teach was something I already knew. Song is still amazing though. But like man it was an experience...

[bnbc]

5, 7 and 12 for the couple ask 💜

tysm for the ask! questions here

5. How do they sleep?

Goro is an early birb, and Kou is the opposite, so if she'd keep her meat body they'd barely met during the day (I'm exaggerating ofc xD) anyway when giving her borg body I also gifted her an ability to control her sleep, so she basically changed her sleeping patterns to match his

they sleep together, even if Kou's having 'night shifts' and comes late (or I'd better say early in this case) she doesn't naps on the couch or shit. actually, when she stops sleeping in the bed it's a huge RED FLAG signaling that one of her strikes is coming (in days like this she can put herself to sleep even while standing, lmao, because why bother if it'd work anyway?)

oh yeah time to be sappy every time when Kou comes to the bed after Goro already fell asleep, she kisses him in the shoulder and no matter if they fell asleep at the same time or not, most of the times she wakes up being spooned xD

7. What's their most and least favorite thing about each other?

ohhh great one!

I guess for Goro the thing he admires the most is Kou's determination and lust for life, while sometimes it's really hard to stand her when she is in 'im gonna annoy teh shit out of you." And ugh her stubbornness, it's a two-sided coin, and at some level Goro likes it, too, and wouldn't want her to change, but oh my god, she is so hard to admit her mistakes xD

Kou just be like

really it's very hard to her to pick something she likes most, she goes for a full package! about what she dislikes tho? r u l e s. he is waaaaay more organized then her, and she's always annoyed when he needs her to follow his rules. also, he is so stubborn and so hard to change his mind… wait, I already typed it in the block above xDDD

12. What struggle have they seen each other through?

oh well

grieving dead bestie, dying, death, rebirths, accepting one's post-human nature, accepting the fact one's beloveds are still mortal, constant cyber psychosis strikes in form of auto aggression

grieving dead master, being blamed, dishonored and outcasted, going through 'the faith crisis" (the beginning and the very end of it), re-assmbling one's life and beliefs after giving up on old ones, unbearable homesickness

the happy post-canon, she says xDD

VAMPIRE INTERMISSION #4, part 3

After most of the the party guests had left, only one remained: Maria-Elise, mother of Morten. She wanted to move in. Time to discuss.

BAT: ZZZZZZzzzZzZZzZZz

EINARR: Don't mind Bat. EINARR: So! You wanted to move in? MARIA: That I did! EINARR: Why? If I may ask... MARIA: Well, I think I'm getting a bit too old to live on my own. And I trust you guys to not eat me.

EINARR: Old? You? Maria-Elise Torsteinsdóttir, you're speaking to a man nearly twenty lifetimes old, MARIA: Well, I'm still a bit old for a human. EINARR: Fair enough! EINARR: And yeah - personally I kind of swore an oath to never hurt Morten's living relatives, he'll only have you for so long. EINARR: Actually, how long did you mortals live these days?

MARIA: See, that's the thing! MARIA: I am getting concerningly close to my Elder stage. I'm kinda Rune's age, remember? If I weren't an elder already, I will be soon! MARIA: And then after that, who knows how long my elderdom will be? EINARR: Oh! MORTEN: Oh......

MORTEN: THAT'S IT, she's living with us!! RUNE: Yeah sure, I won't mind- MORTEN: I am NOT letting MY MAMMA randomly die of old age off screen. Nope, not happening!! MORTEN: I will renovate Kvikindi's old room for her all by myself if I have to!! EINARR: Hah, go for it, I won't stop you. Kvikindi moved out years ago, anyway.

RUNE: I'll help! EINARR: I would gladly help as well. RUNE: Yeah!! It will be great to have a human in this house again! MARIA: Oh, thank you guys! EINARR: We have never had a human living in this house, Rune. Unless you count the ghosts, who are by definition no longer alive. RUNE: Ah right... Wait, ghosts? EINARR: You didn't notice our ghosts yet? RUNE: No! MARIA: Ghosts?

MARIA: I mean, I knew this house was haunted, but only by vampires! BAT: You mean us???? MORTEN: Oh hey you're awake. EINARR: Welcome back, child. EINARR: And yes, dóttir, this house is quite haunted by ghosts. Sorry to say. MARIA: I mean, I don't know why I'm so surprised! How do you even deal with the ghosts?

BAT: We don't. They're friends.

BAT: Sometimes, we hear them making funny noises in the walls. And moaning... So much moaning. And tapping! Random tapping, going *tip tip tip* on the tables and windows and walls, BAT: Once one of them grabbed my shoulders, and shrieked loudly into my ears the most ghastliest noise! BAT: But that's just their way of saying hello, you know? :D RUNE: And you never told me??? BAT: Of course I didn't. You'd shit your pants. RUNE: :/ BAT: And hey, not to mention that time-

MORTEN: Bat I SWEAR to all of Einarr's gods that if you literally end up scaring my own mother from moving in with us, I am stealing uncle Sigurd's vampire slaying kit- BAT: Wow, Mort. Chill. No you won't.

MARIA: No, I appreciate the honesty. I think it'll be fine. It's just ghosts. Maybe I won't even notice them... just like Rune. BAT: See? :D MORTEN: ...

RUNE: Well!! Enough about ghosts! How about we just show her around? Like the room we were thinking of? MARIA: That would be wonderful, thank you.

MARIA: Yeah... yeah! Sure! MARIA: I can work with this space.

RUNE: Well hey, if you need any help moving your stuff, we're right here! MARIA: Yes. Thank you. Would it be too much trouble to also change the wallpaper in here? It's a bit too dark for my taste. RUNE: Not at all!

MORTEN: You sure you won't mind living in a house full of vampires? MORTEN: I mean, Einarr said he won't hurt you, but Rune has been known to snack on his family members - RUNE: Excuse me, I always asked them first. MORTEN: Alright, Rune's probably fine too. But you know Bat has been really fond of your blood. BAT: snnzzzzZZ Z Z MARIA: Yeah. MARIA: But you guys cannot enter without invitation, right? I'll just lock my bedroom door every night. MORTEN: Hah. Smart.

MORTEN: Welcome to the house, mom.

And so, she moved in.

Okay update. @\am-i-the-asshole-official blocked me because they think my asks are """bait""" because they're fucking cowards. Fucking hate this web-site sometimes. Anyway update, if you wanna catch up you can check my #adventurer bullshit tag because I am NOT repeating alllll that lmao.

So latest update: they stole a copy of their fucking contract? Somehow? Which I mean I GUESS is fine but did they break into my fucking house?? Livid. Beyond livid. I don't know what they're planning on doing with this information either and I need to figure out. Whaaaaat it is they want. I have been so fucking reasonable with these two i swear to the fucking stars. Anyway. I found this out while TRYING TO GIVE THEM ANOTHER JOB!!! Can you believe this shit. Okay so in some fairness I haven't actually offered the job to them yet because I need to figure out the appropriate rates. But this seems extraordinarily reasonable of me and I just. I am so fed up with this cat. This has been such a long journey and I am tired and I don't know if I can do this anymore.

Anyway. I guess I'll put the poll here since I can't use the correct blog for that anymore. By the fucking night.

Can we please normalize wanting to be alive? I don't understand how this is such a foreign concept, i know this is the necril-speaking corner of faeblr and there's probably some bias introduced that way but not all of us wanted to be undead and I'm kind of tired of the void normativity on this 'site. I deal with a lot of shit IRU/L and so does my qpp, who's still alive and has it even worse. just... idk think about living people when you make your posts.

EVERYONE STOP DERAILING MY SERIOUS POSTS!!

[bg3tav]

My back fucking hurts. Sleeping on bed rolls on a hard stone ground is not for the faint hearted. Ah what can you do. Another day I'm alive. I can handle the discomfort.

Astarion seems to share my thoughts on Gale. Why couldn't we find a competent wizard? I'm still making Gale stay in camp today. Can't risk him fucking up something important like my life. We're packed up and planning to explore the rest of the sanctuary. I still want to know where the hells we are.

We discovered a room with a sarcophagus and a shit ton of traps but no way to disarm them. I'm going to tell myself there wasn't anything good in there anyway. Fucking frustrating. Oh well, we kept moving.

We found The Guardian of Tombs. Whatever the hell... Oh HOLY SHIT. Maybe I shouldn't have opened that one.

Wait, he seems peaceful. He just wants to know my opinion regarding the worth of a single mortal life. But you can't judge based on a single life. Individuals are part of the whole, a path to enlightenment. It seems this is all he wants, the answer, an answer, to that question. I'm promised to see him again, but with his raggedy skeleton ass, not something I'm excited for.

I'm just happy to be out of there and back in the sun, looking for what's next. Maybe we can camp somewhere less stony next time.

Oh gods, apparently some druid is lost, goblins are trying to kill everyone, and a Tiefling is pissed. And of course this becomes my problem. We wiped out the goblins with no issues and the Tieflings invited us into Emerald Grove. Zevlor and Aradin are about to go out at. I'm not getting involved.

JK apparently I'm getting involved. The Druids want to close off the grove and Zevlor asked me to help. I don't want to see them slaughtered so I willingly agreed. However, Astarion and Lae'zel aren't happy about it. But hey, you asked to come with me, not the other way around so we do things my way.

Met The Blade of Frontiers. He's so good with the kids, it warms my heart. Apparently he was on the ship too. Glad he made it off. Glad to have a new friend. I noticed his eye, wonder how he's faring with the insertion in one, and a stone in the other. I'll have to ask him about that sometime. He seems like a good dude. Hunting devils and seeking vengeance. I'll be happy to help him on his mission. For now, he's going to hang out with Gale at camp. God I hope Gale doesn't talk his ear off.

Heh heh... Teeth-ling. I think my new hobby is annoying Lae'zel. She doesn't like it and it gives me great joy. I had to talk her down from practically murdering Zarru. The kid had information, he was willing to give it, just scared. But can her creche really fix our problem? She so blindly believes the creche can do no wrong. I'm more leery. Still don't trust her. I'm starting to like her, though.

I met the sweetest bard, Alfira. Poor girl is going through a hard time. It's so difficult losing someone you're close to, and then feeling like you're responsible. My heart breaks for her. She taught me to play the lite, which I appreciate. I'll have to practice back at camp where no one can hear me mess up.

Saved some kid from the harpies down by the water. Now I have to go check out the Dragon's Lair. I swear if this is some trick.... This Mol person better be legit.

Okay, Mol can wait. Kagha is threatening a child with death by snake? The fuck this bitch think she is? Oh I'm gonna do something about this. I read her thoughts - she's power hungry. Typical. Yeah time to knock her down a peg or three. I don't want to kill her in case the Tieflings gets caught up in the battle. So I guess I'm talking to Zevlor and will help him best I can.

Before I do that, I think it's time to head to camp. It's been another long day.

Holy hell everyone wants something. And all I want to do is relax and play my lute. Guess I should make the rounds. I think I'll go see Astarion first. There's something about him...

...And there seems to be something about me. Is he seducing me? Oh shit, he's seducing me. And I'm allowing it. Not tonight, but soon. This man. This tall, handsome, beautiful man.

Talking to the rest seems like a chore. I want to go to bed and dream of what may come. What will come. A night of passion.

But Shadowheart... She wants me too? That comes as a surprise. But alas, not tonight. Looks like I'm going to bed alone.

As I lay down to sleep, I notice Astarion slipping off into the night. What is he doing? I'd ask but I'm too tired. That conversation is for another day. Maybe one with less clothing on.

[hard-core-super-star]

no because literally, in a single ask there are many different topics and the answers just get longer. I imagine you opening your inbox and seeing some aks that look more like the digital bible itself😶

I'm telling you! I'm behaving now. I changed.

I'll wait, and I already have my doubts about something but I don't know if it's a reference. the 119% thing.

totally, just like they did when they guarded at all costs that Kate would be played by hailee. It would be really funny if the Nightwing phase hadn't just been a phase.... unless...👀 I also don't know how well-known this mafia game is, but I've literally never heard of it until now. you're good at FIFA? for further scientific research. i- i never played GTA, my mom was ok with me playing mortal kombat and seeing the most graphic and merciless deaths, but not with me stealing cars and running away from the police 😔

okay, if I go watch it for the gay shit and I come out of it sad I'll blame you and you'll pay for my therapy. If she's supposed to be an irredeemable villain then she did something really fucked up, right? because I'm kind of more of a fan of villains..... to a certain point... um yeahh..of course

I'm literally eating myself up because I want to know what this cliffhanger is, I mean, the show was cancelled... knowing this isn't going to ruin my experience, is it?

queerbait, queerbait is everywhere- oh, the denial, it's okay, thinking like this can keep you sane, but it's between ava and sara? wait, I got lost hwjakksskskk you defend flash until you possibly can't anymore, but only watch for caitlin? how does it work? RIGHT? It took me a while to like caitlin exactly for that reason. and don't judge me, but it got tired to a point where I wasn't even rooting for barry and iris to get together anymore. they almost made my hair gray for a while, but I recovered.

now I understand why there's SO MUCH supercorp fics, these people are drooling and surviving on crumbs- think with care <3 hdjskjsk

– 🌟

i’m happily surprised and impressed that we've managed to talk about so many things at the same time and, despite the slight confusion sometimes, we still have MORE to say. it's not often i find someone so willing to read my paragraph-long responses and then RESPOND with their own paragraphs. [and needless to say, i absolutely love reading your responses, even if they're long]

mhmm, we’ll see about that.

it technically is a reference but i don't know if you're thinking what i’m thinking. and if you're not one of us is going to end up looking like an an idiot 😶 [it’s me, btw]

i mean, he's technically still my favorite superhero so i guess the phase still isn't over. i’m just too gay to obsess over a man the way i obsess over kate. i don't think it's that well known but i love it. idk what kind of research you're doing that requires this knowledge but yeah, i’m pretty good at FIFA. not like super amazing or anything but i’ve played it all my life so i think i’ve developed some skills. funnily enough, my mom was the opposite way. mortal kombat was too violent but planning heists and stealing cars was fine. [but not until i was like…10 or something]

babe, i hate to break it to you, but i can't even pay for my own therapy so you're on your own. stop asking questions because i WILL write an essay on her. basically, she does do fucked up shit BUT she's also heavily, HEAVILY, traumatized. i can't get into it without giving out too many spoilers but as the show goes on, we learn she's genuinely just a heavily messed up person and NOT a Joker type of villain who causes pain for the sake of it. [she's also not a sociopath, no matter how many times the characters say she is smh. she's also queer-coded af so there's that]

it's probably my fault for bringing it up everyday lmao. it doesn't ruin anything at all, it's just frustrating. they do finish the plot of season 7 nicely so that's why i just ignore the cliffhanger. it was supposed to tease season 8 but then season 8 never happened. the thing that pisses me off is that the CW didn't bother to tell the writers or the producers or the ACTORS that they wouldn't be getting another season.

sorry, i phrased that weird because it's technically a spoiler. the queer-bait is between zari and a new character hence why i didn't give many details in case you decide to watch the show again. sara and ava aren’t queer-bait at all, they're just queer 👍 it doesn't work very well but like the flash still has some really good things in between all the shitty writing. [that's another reason to watch batwoman, btw, their writers are out of this world] plus, like i said, caitlin snow was part of my gay awakening so it's not like i could just ditch the show even while it was going downhill. i don't judge you at all, i hated their relationship in the last few seasons. idk how they did it but they made me dislike barry at some point which is a crime because he's my boy!!!

akdkkdkskk that's a perfect way to put it, no further comment is necessary. i’m definitely not thinking about it 😶

[f4nd0m-fun]

YES THEY/HE BRUCE 🤩

And yeah, Jason probably says it a lot. Although I did play with the idea he still doesn't have the exact package but hey it's close enough. He was also very happy that Bruce never forced him to go by she (which he got kicked out of some homes over when little).

I LOVE BI BRUCE TOO. Gay is okay too but I got too many lady ships for him to jump full in. 😅

Sometimes I debate making Tim full Enby but I dunno. For now he's Enby leaning masc.

Oh gods. Harley and Dinah, both I'm pretty sure have therapy related stuff going on in their background, like Harley knowing psychology and I think Dinah is a therapist? Anyway, yeah. I can just see them looking at Bruce and IMMEDIATELY recognizing the signs. He's definitely getting a care day, as long as he knows the kids are safe he'll be fine.

And, sure, he's not gonna be bloated or anything but he's gonna be moody and clingy and when something drags him away from his kids? If it's a rogue they probably need to be wearing brown or red. 😂😅

Yeah Vlad isn't letting Bruce out of his sight, even going as far as sending duplicates to watch him while he's out and about, or asking the ghosts he's hired before to do so. And he is NOT, like you said, going to address the big horrors in the room until he has no other choice.

Also, Alfred has weekly tea with Gotham. And slightly random but I feel like Gotham collects curses for two reasons. One, because it keeps them from latching to mortals and instead they get spread out. Two, because Thomas was fascinated with them and Pariah technically has a whole museum of curses he keeps locked up, if he's still out there then maybe things can be cleaned up! Also just the ridiculousness of a Bouquet of Curses instead of a Bouquet of Roses.

And yes those cookies are familiar, part of Vlad's redemption was getting dragged through a lot of shit by Clockwork, almost randomly, though Danny was still Clock's main focus., so yeah, both him and Danny have enjoyed the Time Master's cookies. And sure, Alfred could have gotten Bruce from the time stream himself but where's the fun in that? He knows he'll be fine, he just needs to keep the house intact. Also, he still is some ghost abilities, that's how he manages to sneak up on everyone despite their bat training. 😂

And yeah, the kids are enjoying it while also freaking out themselves.

So Gotham, finding out what happened, gathers up as many curses as she can carry so to speak and books it to the closest portal. Suddenly, the city vibes are just... they're different and no one can figure out how or why, except Alfred of course, he told her when and where to find the portal. Next thing everyone knows, cause what's a little time fuckery to reunite a lost family, the skies are a dark green and the smog is purple and the vibes are rancid not almost in a good way.

Vlad just started swearing but just... he very much can't fight the king so he's praying to whatever is out there that Pariah isn't going to cause problems again.

Meanwhile, Pariah is trying to shove himself back into a mortal form and dull his powers so the sky goes back to normal, all while doting over Gotham and asking about the children (probably been more like a week to a month in the Realms for the pair). Eventually they make it to Wayne Manor and Vlad is just sweating bullets. Meanwhile, Bruce and Thomas just break down. Also, Thomas can make Martha visible to the living again, before only ghosts could see her, even liminals had a hard time seeing her. So Bruce finally gets his parents back and it's the most heartbreaking thing. And then the kids get dragged in by they're shadows because why not?

Also, Pariah is like "wait, you're carrying the core of the kid who beat my ass for being insane, and dating the idiot who let me out in the first place?"

I wonder what Thomas would do if he found Flashpoint. Also, the tabloids. Not only is Bruce getting them over the core incident but now people are trying to figure out if that's really Thomas and Martha Wayne back from the deed.

And yeah, Constantine is gonna have an aneurysm. Oof.

Meme Prompt 2

Thinkin of feral halfa Jason again. No surprise there.

[slashingdisneypasta]

Hades x Mortal!Indentured!Reader || Drabble

Plot: You're indebted to 'Lord Hades', like Meg, except he uses you for your knowledge in medicine and herbs, rather then your looks. He puts you in some pretty sticky situations, like this one.

Warnings: Pregnancy!! (Not reader) Hades being an absolute god whore. Talk of abortion and adoption.

But no, certainly not. I wish, you think, looking up at the doorway as the light is blocked from the open door suddenly and see the divine bastard with a young woman- who's baring a slightly rounded stomach and too-pale face.

You knew about Meg, though you weren't sure that she knew about you- or any of the other women - and men, - for that matter. She might be under the impression that she was the only lucky mortal to be made Hades servant. To have been stupid enough to make a deal with him.

Immediately you drop the dried lavender you were untying into a basket passive-aggressively and guide the woman away from the God, sighing. "Tell me you didn't... " Eyes softening on her, you flash her a reassuring smile as she looks so worried, and look her over. She certainly looks... pregnant... Shit. Hades- Your eyes flash back to him, an angry look on your face.

He raises his hands in surrender. "Well can you help, Doc?"

"I can give her a look." You hiss sternly, guiding her softer then how your voice sounds- to the seat you were just peacefully occupying a second ago. She goes gratefully, and you catch her hand hovering over her bump- unable to bring herself to touch it before chewing on her bottom lip and looking around at the walls covered in herbs and jars and books; Taking a deep breath.

You frown at her- while on your other side, Hades approaches with orange-flickering 'hair'. "Now, now, remember Y/N- " There's a warning tone to his voice, to which you roll your eyes and turn on him; Hands on your hips. He holds up a stern finger, threatening you. Are you concerned, though? No. You'll do whatever he says to... you just like to make him sweat, a little. "You have to help me... I own your ass."

Narrowing his eyes, Hades bares his pointy teeth at you. He speaks in a low voice, too, so hopefully only you hear... but you have a bad feeling the young lady heard, anyway. "Fix it, Y/N. This is serious. Get rid of that... thing."

"Mhm." You nod, assuring him enthusiastically. Then gesture for him to get the hell out of your hut. "But I do not have to do it, with you in my line of sight. So go. Wait outside. We'll let you know how it goes when I'm done." Making a 'Shoo' gesture with your hands, you manage to get the big blue mass to the doorway before he retorts.

Having had enough of his bullshit already, seeing as he's being particularly obnoxious and evil, you slam the door in his face. "Alright!"

Clapping your hands together, you turn to the girl. Taking a deep breath, you walk over; Forcing the creases out of your face so you look kind, again. "What's your name? I'm Y/N."

~

Taking a deep, clipped breath, you pull back from her - Etta, - finally, after a thorough inspection that brought you to the certain conclusion, that sure enough... the poor woman is pregnant. With demon spaw- um, a demigod. Hades demigod. But not wanting to say that to her quite yet - or ever, really... - you give her another once-over. "So, um, this part is a little awkward. But, uh... do you have any burns, in... places?" You can only imagine what havoc that man could unintentionally reek on one, if one were to be put in a situation like that with him... and his hair...

You like to not think about it. But, sometimes, you have to.

For a moment Etta just looks blankly at you, though, wide eyed. Like, what in the world do you mean?- "Oh!- No. No, I'm fine... in that area... "

"Okay good!" Alright... damn. That was your last good delaying technique. But, the inevitable is here, unfortunately. "That's a relief."

Is it? This next part is so freaken uncomfortable!

Rolling your bottom lip through your teeth, you look nervously up to Etta's anxious face; You do not have good news for her. And if she can read it in your expression rather then making you say it- all the better, for you.

Sighing, you rest your hands in your lap. "Sorry... "

"Oh no... " Etta groans, covering her face with her hands and dry crying- just a drawn out whine, full of her anguish. You pat her awkwardly on the back, unsure quite what to do.

This part never gets easier, for a clinical introvert like you. No matter how many girls Hades brings to you like this.

After a moment, she pulls herself together again with a deep breath through the nose, and looks back up; Elbows resting on her knees. Her beautiful eyes find yours, eyebrows knitted together. "What... what do we do?"

Thank god. Usually that forsaken part goes on for longer- this girl is hard as nails. Good on her. You like her.

"Well- I can give you some medications that'll be comfortable, for you, but uh... will neutralise, the Fetus. They should work fine, this early in the pregnancy, but there are some dangers... I could operate, but that involves a lot more danger for you- "

"What?"

Your eyes widen when Etta snaps, and they snap up to hers. "... What?"

"I'm not killing it!"

Oh... Slowly, awkwardly, your eyes flicker from the front door, to the windows, to her. You sniff the air - looking for any sign that Hades heard that, - and thankfully come to the conclusion that he didn't, and focus back on Etta. "Sorry. But Hades- he, uh... well you must know what he expects."

"Oh, sure. I know what he expects. But there's no way. Sorry. No." Shaking her head, Etta gives you a very serious face. "I'm giving it up for adoption. I wont kill it, though. I cant."

... Damn. You lean back away from her, and sigh. This is going to be a pain.

"... Okay, when I give you the signal, you go out that door. I'll tell him you told me you had to pee, and seeing as you have a living being squatting on your bladder I naively allowed you to go!- Then its all up to you to get the heck outta dodge." You talk quietly, and sternly, nodding towards the back door. Etta nods, eyes round and paying close attention; Tension already rising in her. Ready to run. You get up promptly, and head for the front door, turning back to her as she gets up from the stool she was sitting in, blue dress brushing the floor. "And- um- just a passing piece of advice- drink a lot of water. Its good for the baby, and, uh... yeah theirs no sugar coating it- It'll prevent it from igniting!"

She nods, a moment of horror crossing her beautiful face. But then as soon as your fingers touch the door handle, her head snaps back to you. "Wait what's the signal??" She hisses.

"Right- Just go now!"

For a moment, Etta hesitates as you look at her. Then she nods, sincerely. "Thank you." You give her gentle smile.

"Sweetheart, you better run fast." You say, then twist the doorknob.

"Oh! Bye!"

As soon as the backdoor is closed behind the woman, you swing the front door open loudly, waltzing out to meet Hades. You talk loudly, too- in hopes of covering up the sound of Etta's footfalls. "Oh great Lord of the Dead! I have great news for you! You're going to be a father!"

~

You manage to distract Hades with your great power of mockery for a good few minutes, surely long enough for Etta to have gotten out of sight, at least, before Hades barges on into your home looking for her.

As soon as he sees that she isn't there, you watch his pupils shrink. You wince.

Slowly, he turns to you; His 'loyal minion'. "... Where is she?"

You make a believable show of gliding your eyes around the little one-room cottage, taking you bottom lip in between your teeth when you 'realise' that she isn't there. "I... um... "

"... Y/N... " There's another warning tone in his voice. Generally Hades has quite a bit more patience for you then he does for others - you've known each other for a while, and he appreciates your smart mouth, - but that is still not saying a huge amount and it will not save you if you aren't able to pull this off correctly.

Luckily, the Gods are notorious for not thinking much of the intelligence of mere mortals.

"I... " Your eyes flit up to his, widening the slightest bit; Playing him like a fiddle. "I thought she'd be back by now."

Orange starts to flicker dangerously up from Hades body, and he's standing right in the middle of your home- thank god the structure of your home is made entirely out of sandstone. "... Back?!"

"Well, she said she needed to wee, so I let her slip out the back just to do her business- but- maybe... " Running a hand through your hair, you shake your head and look down. "Maybe, she... "

Hades follows your thoughts, whipping around to the back door an throwing it open, looking around violently for Etta. "ESCAPED!?"

"Yeah... " Man, your heart still jumps when Hades gets mad; No matter how many times you see it happen, its still terrifying and shocking.

Hades turns on you again, and you shrink down nearly against a wall. He's... literally... smoking... Like a damn chimney... "Why the hell would you let her go!?"

"I don't know!" You snap, yelling back. "You put a baby inside her! That makes a woman have to piss, a lot!!"

At that Hades growls, he actually growls, scowling at you before rushing forward with a moments notice and cornering you suddenly against the cool wall, as you flatten yourself against it. Shit!... For a few moments he doesn't say a damn word, just stares down at you, furiously. Taking deep breaths, and puffing smoke, and radiating heat so hot it takes you about two seconds to feel suffocated and start sweating. And it takes all that's in you to hold his gaze; Craning your neck and not backing down.

Gradually, and you don't know how or when, but Hades' eyes soften again and the smoke stops coming, and his fire turns totally back to normal. Even then he doesn't leave your personal space, though, and the eye contact honestly becomes a little... weird. Your heart pounds loudly in your chest, and relax against the wall, now. Running a hand back through your hair, you part your lips...

Then Hades smirks and your heart might as well have skipped a beat. The fire scaling his scalp crackles, like a wood fire, and one spindly blue hand, spider like in all except the colour, glides up your body and hovers over your hip. A hiss of a gasp escapes you, surprised and not entirely... scared. More like electrified.

His face comes closer to yours and that hand fits itself to your waist; And he knows exactly what he's doing. You know that. You're fully aware. So when he opens his mouth again, you know precisely how you're going to respond; A mischievous smirk of your own warming onto your lips.

"Now, Y/N... I like you, so I'll give you another chance. Tell me... what happened, to Etta?" His pupils flick to your lips. "I just get the feeling you're keeping something from me, you little minx."

Tilting your head to the side, you suddenly widen your eyes in innocence; And shrug.

"Hades, I really don't know."

His eyes narrow again and his hand tightens on your waist; Not like he's trying to hurt you, like you're his life line and he's using you, to centre himself as he closes his eyes tightly shut. "Mmmmm... " He groans out, as if his head hurts and he doesn't know what to do with you.

Tendrils of familiar, not-at-all gaseous smoke waft purposely up to wrap around your body; Gluing you to the wall, before Hades lets a deep breath go and opens his eyes again.

"Round two. My court, this time."
